Adopt new environmental review guidelines and vehicle miles traveled methodology
In Plain English
The city uses environmental review guidelines to evaluate how new developments might impact traffic and air quality. Current guidelines from 2003 need updating to match state law changes. The new methodology measures vehicle miles traveled instead of just intersection delays, which better reflects environmental impacts from driving.
