Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Council adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The TransNet (SGIP) funds transportation and transportation-related infrastnichire improvements and planning efforts that support smart growth development. This program was developed based on the 2005 SANDAG Pilot Smart Growth Incentive Program. 7-1 2/22/11, Item Page 2 of 3 The goal of the TransNet SGIP is to fund public infrastructure projects and planning activities that will facilitate compact, mixed use development focused around public transit, and that will increase housing and transportation choices. The projects funded under this program will serve as models for how modest investments in infrastructure and planning can make smart growth an asset to communities arotmd the region, These investments should help attract private developers to build projects that, with the support of the TransNet-funded projects, create great places in the San Diego region. In addition, The TransNet Extension Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, approved countywide by voters in November 2004, includes an Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP) which is a funding allocation category for the costs to mitigate habitat impacts for regional transportation projects. The City of Chula Vista was awarded over S3 million dollars in capital and planning projects that were adopted in the FY2009-10 CIP Program.
