Department Name: Public Works
Cost Center: 5010
For Agenda of: September 3, 2019
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Daryl Grigsby, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Jake Hudson, Interim Deputy Director Public Works
SUBJECT: COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO PRADO ROAD INTERCHANGE
FUNDING AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Approve an agreement with the County of San Luis Obispo for its contribution of $1,435,260 for
its fair share of construction of the Prado Road Interchange and authorize the City Manager to
execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION
The first phase of the Prado Road Interchange currently under design includes the extension of
Prado Road over Highway 101 with protected bike/pedestrian paths, reconstruction of the
northbound ramps, and a third northbound 101 lane between Prado and Madonna Road. This
phase is estimated to cost $25 million and is currently anticipated to begin construction in 2021.
The regional fair share of the project is based on interchange traffic forecasts, traffic with origins
and/or destinations outside of the City. This regional share has been determined to be 30% based
on the San Luis Ranch EIR and is equivalent to $7.5 million.
City staff has been in negotiations with the San Luis Obispo Council of Government (SLOCOG)
and the County of San Luis Obispo to secure regional fair share funding. Staff was successful in
obtaining $6 million in funding through SLOCOG, and that amount is programmed as part of the
Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), a five-year program for planned
transportation improvements. For the remaining regional fair share staff negotiated $1,435,260 in
financial contribution from the San Luis Obispo County. The agreement (Attachment A)
proposed for Council approval is a contract between the City and County describing the funding
allocation toward the Prado Road Interchange. With this $7.5 million in programmed regional
funding, approximately $7.8 million in transportation impact fees, and $9.8 million in San Luis
Ranch mitigation fees, full funding ($25 million) for this phase of the Prado Road Interchange
has been secured.
Policy Context
As part of the City’s Circulation Element Program 9.2.2 & Table 5 The Prado Road Interchange
is established as a critical infrastructure improvement to support multimodal traffic generation of
the City’s planned development and development outside the city. The San Luis Ranch Specific
Plan Chapter 7 & EIR revalidated these findings, established fair share proportionality, and
determined when the interchange was needed in relationship to San Luis Ranch’s development
Packet Pg. 131
Item 14
progress. Table 6 of the San Luis Ranch Development agreement establishes the funding plan for
both phases of the interchange.
Public Engagement
Extensive Public Engagement regarding the Prado Road Interchange was conducted as part of
the San Luis Ranch Environmental Impact Report which was certified by Council on July 18,
2017 and Development Agreement which was adopted by Council on August 21, 2018.
CONCURRENCE
The City Attorney and Finance Department have reviewed and concur with staff
recommendation. The County of San Luis Obispo concurs with the recommended agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the proposed agreement as it does
not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: Yes Budget Years: 2021-2024
Funding Identified: Yes
Fiscal Analysis:
Phase I Prado Road Interchange Funding Plan:
Funding Sources
Total Project
Cost
SLO County Agreement $1,435,260
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)* $6,000,000
SLO County City Transportation Impact Fees $7,764,740
San Luis Ranch $9,800,000
Total $25,000,000
*STIP is the funding Source identified within the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP)
This agreement achieves San Luis Obispo County’s proportion of the regional fair share for the
Prado Road Interchange.
ALTERNATIVE
The Council may choose not to approve the agreement in its current form and direct staff to
negotiate alternative funding terms with San Luis Obispo County. Staff does not recommend this
alternative as both City and County staff have negotiated in good faith and the terms of the
agreement adequately achieve the adopted funding strategy in regard to the regional fair share.
