Plan/rnp/ementation, Monitoring, and Review 2. Propose morllf~cation to the Action Plan that will prevent the General Plan amend- ment from adversely affecting the regional tr~n-~portation network. If neither of these can'be done, approval of the General Plan Amendment may lead to a finding o£ non-compliance with the Growth Management Program. Development Review Procedures for General Plan Amendments in Contra Costa County. Any Tri-Valley area general plan -menrlment in Contra Costa County that generates 500 or more peak-hour trips than is currently nilowed by the applicable General Plan ~ shall be deemed consistent with this Action Plan if preceded or accompanied by a multi-iurisdictional cooperative plnnn~ng agreement that identifias the responsibilities -- of the participating parties to ensure that the subsequent approvals will not result in a violation of Traffic Service Obiectives. Demonstration of compliance with TSOs shah include, but not be limited to, computer model runs that incorporate each jurisdiction's Five Year Capital Improvement Program of trnnnpertation proiects and the prqiects of federal, state, and regional agencies such as Caltrans, transit operators, the Metropolit-n Tr~n-~portation Commls- sion, etc. In addition~ the computer model database will include erich local jurisdiction's anticipated land use development projects renli~tically expected to be constructed within the next five years. The Dougherty Valley Settlement Agreement fulfill.~ this requirement for a multi- iurisdictional cooperative planning agreement for development in the Dougherty Valley area. The Contra Costa iurisdictions will consirler entering into multi-iurisdic- tional cooperative planning agreements with Alnmeda County jurisdictions in the Tri- Valley area. Amending the Plan Amendments can be triggered by: periodic review of the plan (every two to four years); identification of TSO violations; a jurisdiction's proposal to adopt a major general plan nmenament that was not considered in the existing plan; and/or a change in the major assumptions underlying the Plan. A change in the assnmptions for Gateway Con- straints would constitute the latter. This plan is based upon the ass-mption that major gateways into Tri-Valley will not be expanded beyond the capacities ass-reed in the Expected Network as set forth in Chapter 5. Any change in these assnrnptions, such as the addition of HOV lanes on 1-580 over the Altamont Pass, would require that this plan be rimended to incorporate revised ass-mptions for the Tri-Valley gateway constraints. Increased capacity at the gateways could signit~cantly increase projected congestion on downstrenm freeway sections and arterial streets. As specified in the Joint Powers Agreement governing the TVTC, ~menaments to the plan will require a nn~nlmous vote of all members of the TVTC. Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 238
