23
24
an
estimate
associated with mitigating
these
of
the
costs
impacts" on the CMP network of roadways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Purpose-
25
The purpose of the Land Use/Transportation Analysis
26 Program of the City of San Bernardino is to evaluate the
27 potential impact of land use decisions within the City on the
28 transportation system, both within and outside the City. The
RES 93-'74
1 evaluation of potential impacts shall be conducted in a Traffic
2 Impact Analysis Report (TIA Report), prepared by the development
3 project applicant.
4 SECTION 2. Definitions-
5 Congestion Management Agency (CMA) The agency
6 responsible for developing the Congestion Management Program and
7 coordinating and monitoring its implementation.
8 Congestion Management Program (CMP) - A program required
9 for each urbanized county in California, pursuant to California
10 Government Code Section 65089.
11 CMP Intersections - Intersections of two CMP roadways.
12 CMP Segment - A section of CMP roadway between two CMP
13 intersections, or for limited access highways, a section between
14 two interchanges.
15 Key Intersections CMP Intersections plus other
16 intersections on the CMP roadway network deemed to be critical to
17 traffic operations on that roadway.
18 Level of Service (LOS) A qualitative measure
19 describing operational conditions within a traffic stream;
20 generally described in terms of such factors as delay, speed and
21 travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort
22 and convenience, and safety.
23 Link - A length of roadway between two intersections. A
24 CMP segment would typically consist of several roadway links.
25 Ramp - Connecting roadway between a freeway and a surface
26 street or between two freeways.
27 Travel Demand Management - (TDM) - Demand based techniques
28 for reducing traffic congestion, such as ride sharing programs
- 2 -
RES 93-74
1 and flexible work schedules enabling employees to commute to and
2 from work outside of peak hours.
3
CNP Model
The City of San Bernardino transportation
4 planning model, which is consistent with the Regional Model, and
5 is used for preparing CMP forecasts for San Bernardino County.
6 Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Report - A report prepared
7 by a development project applicant identifying the potential
8 impact of the proposed project and mitigations needed to maintain
9 the traffic level of service on the CMP network.
10 Vehicle Trip - A one-way movement of a vehicle between two
11 points.
12
13
SECTION 3. Requirements-
TIA Reports shall be prepared when criteria and thresholds
14 established for the City of San Bernardino indicate they are
15 necessary, or when the proposed development exceeds half the size
16
17
18
19
20
of the CEQA thresholds for regional review.
The thresholds for
required TIA Report preparation are:
250 Dwelling units
250,000 GSF retail space
325,000 GSF industrial space
125,000 GSF office space
250 hotel/motel rooms
21 For mixed use developments, or staged developments, the size of
22 each proposed use shall be divided by the appropriate land use
23 type threshold shown above to determine a land use size ratio. A
24
25
TIA report will be
required if the
size
sum of the land use
ratios equals or
exceeds 1.0. A
procedure for making
this
26 determination is provided in Appendix C of the 1992 CMP.
27 A copy of all draft TIA Reports will be forwarded to the
28 CMA upon the receipt of the report by the City of San Bernardino.

RES93~74
-
1 If the TIA Report determines that the project would add 50
2 or more 2-way peak hour trips to a CMP arterial within another
3 jurisdiction or 100 2-way peak hour trips on a freeway, that
4 jurisdiction (and Caltrans, if a state highway) will also be
5 provided a copy of the TIA Report.
6 TIA Reports shall be provided to the CMA and adjacent
7 jurisdictions so that information exchange and communication can
8 occur in concert with the permitting jurisdiction's project
9 review schedule and prior to any approval or permit activity.
10 Agencies which receive TIA Reports shall provide any comments
11 wi thin 3 weeks of the date the TIA Report was mailed by the
12 permitting jurisdiction. Should the comments received from
13 adjacent jurisdictions, the CMA, Caltrans, or transit agencies
14 recommend changes to the TIA Report, the permitting jurisdiction
15 shall consider comments received and make changes deemed
16 necessary by the permitting jurisdiction. Should the changes be
17 such that the permitting jurisdiction chooses to recirculate the
18 document, the commenting agencies will complete the review of the
19 revised document wi thin two weeks of receipt. This process is
20 intended to be consistent with any actions required under the
21 local Land Use/Transportation Analysis Program.
22 If an affected City wishes their communications to be on
23 record with the CMA, that City will need to forward copies to the
24 CMA to be logged and filed. The CMA is available to serve as a
25 clearinghouse for such communications regardless of the size of
26 the subject project. These communications will document forecast
27 implications of land use decisions and, if deficiencies arise
28 which are attributable to another jurisdiction's land use
- 4 -
RES93-74
1 decisions, can be a basis for interjurisdictional sharing of the
2 responsibility to mitigate transportation impacts.
3 If an adjoining City, or Caltrans, believes that portions
4 of the CMP network within their boundaries are likely to be
5 impacted by a land use decision within an adjacent jurisdiction,
6 they may request, but cannot require, that the adjacent
7 jurisdiction prepare a TIA Report on the subject project. Such a
8 request is unnecessary if the size of the project exceeds the
9 adjacent jurisdiction's review threshold, but special
10 circumstances may suggest a need for additional analysis.
11 Detailed guidelines for preparation of TIA Reports are set
12 forth in Appendix "C," of the CMP. While the guidelines provide
13 some degree of flexibility in the preparation of TIA reports, a
14 notice of significant variation should be provided to the CMA.
15 SECTION 4. The Land Use/Transportation Analysis Process -
16 The steps involved in the process are listed below:
17 A development application is submitted to the City.
18 If it is determined that an analysis is required, the
19 applicant will be provided with the standardized TIA
20 procedures and report format.
21 If neither the City's size criteria nor the CMP
22 thresholds are met, no TIA Report is required.
23 However, Caltrans and the CMA shall be notified by the
24 City for proposed traffic-generating projects (other
25 than a single family residence) in Federally designated
26 urbanized areas where any portion of the project abuts
27 a State highway or abuts a roadway which intersects a
28 State highway, and is wi thin 500 feet of that

intersection, including interchange ramps. The purpose
of this requirement is to provide Caltrans with advance
warning of an opportunity to acquire right-of-way for
addi tional turning lanes at intersections on the CMP
network.
A copy of all final TIA Reports will be submitted to
the CMA. For projects adding 50 or more 2-way peak
hour trips to a CMP arterial within another
jurisdiction or 100 2-way peak hour trips on a freeway,
a copy of the final TIA Report will be provided to that
jurisdiction{s), including Caltrans.
Potentially impacted jurisdictions may review TIA
Reports and provide technical comments to the City and
the CMA. The CMA may also comment to the lead agency,
and may attach the comments of other jurisdictions.
Responses from potentially impacted jurisdictions,
Caltrans, and the CMA shall be considered during
deliberations on the project or plan approval. An
impacted jurisdiction may request to meet with the City
to resolve technical issues associated with the TIA,
which may include the magnitude of an impact, location
of an impact, timing of an impact, nature of the
proposed mitigation, estimated cost of mitigation, and
apportionment of responsibility to mitigate the impact.
Forecast interjurisdictional impacts of a project are
to be mitigated through a facility improvement or
strategy developed jointly by the City of San
Bernardino, the project applicant, and the impacted

jurisdiction (s).
A jurisdiction in which the CMP system is impacted by a
land use decision of the City of San Bernardino may be
compensated by the City, or the project applicant, for
any mitigations required within the impacted
jurisdiction. If this compensation does not occur, and
a deficiency plan is required according to CMP
guidelines to address the impacted portion of the CMP
system, the TIA Report may be used to assist in
apportioning the responsibility to mi tigate the
deficiency within the impacted jurisdiction.
If resolution between the City of San Bernardino and a
potentially impacted jurisdiction cannot be achieved,
the impacted jurisdiction may request (but cannot
require) the City to condition approval of a project on
monitoring of traffic and/or travel characteristics to
and from the project site, and provision of mitigation
as warranted based on the results of monitoring. At
the lead agency's discretion, this may be required of a
project as a mechanism to verify the magnitude of the
impacts of a specific project on CMP roadways, and
provide for mitigations as needed following proj ect
approval.
