Development Code Amendment No. 93-13
Agenda Item # 2
November 16, 1993
Page 1
REQUEST
The request is for an amendment to Development Code Section 19.20.039, General Standards,
adding state mandated Transportation Control Measures (TCM) as subsection 26 and
renumbering existing subsections 26 and 27 as subsections 27 and 28 respectively.
CALIFORNIA ENVIROIlo'MENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) STATUS
Pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA guidelines, actions taken by regulatory agencies, as
authorized by state or local ordinance to ensure enhancement or protection of the environment
are exempt from CEQA. This proposed ordinance implements state legislated measures designed
to reduce vehicle trips reducing air pollutants and improving air quality.
BACKGROUND
Southern California is required by the 1991 South Coast Air Quality Management Plan and the
1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide to develop Transportation Control Measures
(TCM), in order to reduce the number of vehicle trips.
The Congestion Management Program for San Bernardino County (CMP) requires jurisdictions
to adopt a Transportation Control Measure Ordinance by December 31, 1993.
Representatives of local government and the San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) have developed a list or core, recommended, discretionary and regional actions for
inclusion in the TCM program. Core Actions, listed on Attachment "C" are required to be
adopted by all local agencies by December 31, 1993. Recommended, Not Required, Actions
are included as Attachment "D", Discretionary Actions are included as Attachment "E", and
Regional Actions are included as Attachment "F", and must be considered for adoption.
On June 7, 1993, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 93-180 committing
to develop the local portion of the TCM Sub-Regional Implementation Program. On October
21, 1993, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 93-398 committing the City
to adopt the core actions recommended by SANBAG. This Development Code Amendment will
implement the Core Actions in compliance with this resolution.
ANALYSIS
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Development Code Amendment is consistent with the General Plan in that it is consistent
with General Plan Objective 6.4. This objective encourages the accommodation of alternative
modes of transportation to the private automobile in the City. It is also consistent with criteria
({)
MC-890.
Development Code Amendment No. 93-13
Agenda Item # 2
November 16, 1993
Page 2
in General Plan Implementation Measure 16.22, which requires the City to incorporate
transportation demand management objectives into the project review process, using many of the
measures proposed by SANBAG as TCM Core Actions.
AMENDMENT
The amendment adds the SANBAG recommended Core Actions as subsection 26 of
Development Code Section 19.20.030. The proposed amendment, Attachment "B", establishes
thresholds for many of the Core Actions based upon review thresholds contained in the
Congestion Management Program for San Bernardino County. These TCM measures will bring
the City into compliance with the requirement of adopting the TCM Core Actions by the
December 31, 1993 deadline, and once implemented will help reduce the total number of vehicle
trips, reducing air pollutants and improving air quality.
Subparagraph K of the proposed amendment requiring City participation in the Countywide
Bicycle Plan will not be included in the text of the Development Code Amendment, but will be
included as a part of the ordinance adopting the amendment. The reason for this is that the
Development Code contains standards and requirements of development, but not of the City.
Subparagraph K is clearly not a development standard or requirement, but is a requirement of
the City. Its inclusion in the ordinance adopting the amendment ensures its adoption and City
participation in the Bicycle Plan in accordance with the required Core Actions.
The amendment does not include any of the Recommended, Discretionary or Regional Actions
listed in Attachment "C". Staff considered these actions for inclusion in the amendment, but
does not recommend inclusion or adoption at this time. Many of these actions are applicable
on a case-by-case basis to projects, depending on project scope, but are not applicable to all
projects. In cases where such actions would be appropriate, the project would trigger the
threshold for a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Report, pursuant to the requirements of
the CMP. A project TIA would identify the need for those measures which would then be
included in the project mitigation measures or as a Condition of Approval of the project. If
however, the implementation of the Core Actions fails to achieve the required Countywide
reduction of 40,000 vehicle trips per day as expected, these Recommended, Discretionary and
Regional actions may become mandatory, and may have to be included in the Development Code
at a later time.
CONCLUSION
The proposed amendment to Development Code Section 19.20.030, will allow the City to adopt
the State Mandated TCM Core Actions by December 31, 1993. The TCM measures
implemented by the amendment will help reduce vehicle trips, reducing air pollutants and
improving air quality. The amendment is consistent with General Plan Goals and
Implementation measures.

The determination of whether an on-site park-and-ride facility or contribution of
exaction fees is required will be based upon a Traffic Impact Analysis Report
(TIA Report), prepared by a qualified traffic engineer in a manner consistent with
the Congestion Management Program (CMP) for San Bernardino County.
H. Parking space requirements for new non-residential development shall be reduced
when linked to other actions that reduce trips to account for increased ridesharing
and other modes of transportation. Analysis shall be provided estimating the trip
reductions. The City Traffic Engineer shall review the analysis and make a
recommendation to the Planning Division on the number of parking spaces that
may be eliminated.

RECOMMENDED, NOT REQUIRED, ACTIONS
DESCRIPTION:
Recommended actions are highly recommended for consideration by all jurisdictions in the South Coast Air
Basin. These actions are not only needed to achieve the subregional trip reduction target but will support
the core actions resulting in a much higher level of overall effectiveness for the subregional implementation
program. However, because the applicability of these measures depends on local characteristics,
opportunities and resources, it is difficult to specify a standard level of implementation for all jurisdictions.
