The goal of Project Development is to plan, fund and advance the development and maintenance of an integrated and high-quality transportation system consistent with City policies and priorities using maximum outside revenues and resources.

Project Development encompasses four service areas that carry out the activities necessary to achieve the above stated goal. The service areas are Circulation, Transportation Advocacy, Forecast and Analysis, and Development Review.

In providing Transportation Development Review, we:

• Work closely with the development community (see important documents, guidelines and procedures below) and the residents to ensure that new developments will not create unmitigated transportation impacts.
  
• Review nearly 350 development applications per year. Types of review include, but are not limited to, residential subdivisions, commercial/retail centers, office buildings/complexes, churches, industrial buildings and multi-use developments.
  
• Review on-site circulation, pedestrian amenities, vehicular access, driveway locations, vehicle stacking, traffic studies, parking studies, etc.
  
• Ensure prior conditions of development are complied with properly.
  
• Ensure Zoning Code requirements, General Plan Circulation Element objectives, established engineering standards are met.
