City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT Subject: Resolution authorizing the Development Services Department to apply for and administer a Community-Based Transportation Planning (CBTP) from Caltrans in the amount of$250,000 to prepare the West Side Healthy Neighborhood Plan. Background: At the request of Councilman Johnson, staff attended a meeting with the CBTP program manager at Caltrans on September 2, 2004, to review the CBTP program eligibility criteria and discuss the potential for a CBTP grant proposal for the 1-210 corridor in the Sixth Ward. The purpose of the CBTP grant program is to fund coordinated transportation and land use planning projects that encourage community involvement and partnership to promote community identity and quality of life. In particular. the CBTP program is intended to minimize conflicts and enhance compatibility between transportation projects and surrounding communities. Funding is awarded for use over a two-year period. The Arroyo Valley Community Economic Development Corporation (A VECDC), a non-profit public benefit corporation specializing in housing rehabilitation and development services, has proposed to partner with the City in a new CBTP grant proposal. The proposal is a plan to prepare the City's West Side for construction of the final segment of 1-210, scheduled for completion in 2007. With the Council's approval, staff would cooperate with A VECDC to request CHTP funding to prepare the West Side Healthy Neighborhood Plan for West Side neighborhoods surrounding the 1-210 corridor. The West Side Healthy Neighborhood Plan will focus on maintaining the integrity of existing West Side neighborhoods, while taking advantage of economic development opportunities that will come with construction of the new freeway. The following would be proposed as elements of the West Side Neighborhood Plan: · Streetscape improvement plans for State Street, including landscaping, decorative walls, bicycle and transit amenities. · Plans for additional landscaping or other screening needed to improve the appearance of the freeway structure and sound walls, as seen from the surrounding neighborhoods. · A pedestrian and bicycle access plan to maintain connectivity between existing neighborhoods on both sides of the freeway corridor. · A new commercial land use plan for property adjacent to the future State Street off-ramps. · Residential property rehabilitation and neighborhood beautification programs to revitalize West Side neighborhoods and encourage high-quality infill development. · A grass-roots community participation program to involve West Side residents, businesses and community organizations in preparing the plan and in its implementation. CBTP Grant applications are due to Caltrans on October 15, 2004. If the Grants Ad-Hoc Committee recommends submittal of the application, this item will be presented to the Mayor and Common Council for approval on October 4, 2004. Staff is currently in the process of completing the grant application, but a copy of the form is attached for your information. 2 . . ~ City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT (continued) If awarded. grant funds will be used to hire a professional planning consultant to prepare the plan, and a portion will be allocated to the Arroyo Valley Community Economic Development Corporation as a sub-recipient, for community outreach and public involvement activities. Financial Impact: If the maximum grant amount of $250,000 is awarded, a 20% local match will be required ($50,000), of which 50% may be provided as in-kind services. A VCEDC has volunteered to provide the in-kind services, leaving a need for $25,000 in matching funds to be committed by the City. It is anticipated that grant awards will be announced between March and July of 2005. Therefore, the matching funds would have to be budgeted in FY 05-06. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 3 ~. t , .

INTRODUCTION The California Department of Transportation (also known as Caltrans), provides one-time transportation planning grants for: , Environmental Justice: Context-Sensitive Planning ,. Community-Based Transportation Planning These transportation-planning grants are intended to strengthen the economy, promote equity, and protect the environment. The results of these grants should improve mohility and lead to the programming and implementation of transportation improvement projects. These projects should emphasize economy, equity, environment, safety, jobs, housing, transportation, context sensitive planning, sustainable communities, public participation, and reduced traffic con2estion. CALTRANS TRANSPORTATION PLANNING GRANT GOALS The Environmental Justice and Community-Based Transportation Planning grants have program specific purposes and are intended to address local needs and issues. These Transportation Planning Grants should address broad goals for the transportation system and are intended to foster common and desirable attributes statewide. Grant applicants need to demonstrate in their application how their planning project reflects one or more of the following broad statewide planning goals:. I) strengthen the economy; 2) promote infill development and social equity; 3) protect the environment; 4) encourage efficient development practices; 5) promote jobs and affordable housing balance; 6) link housing, transportation and land-use planning; 7) and increase community livability (by creating an attractive, safe and cohesive community). Projects are typically one-year, but the proposal may be scoped for a two-year timeline. Projects that can be replicated elsewhere in the state are especially welcomed. These grant programs have different purposes and matching requirements. There is no limit on the number of applications submitted by anyone entity per application period. However, the same project may not receive Fiscal Year (FY) 2004/2005 or FY 2005/2006 funding from more than one planning grant program administered by Caltrans. You may not submit an application for the same project to more than one grant program. For the benefit of the applicant, Caltrans may refer a proposed project to a different grant program if the proposal is better suited for different funding.

Citv of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT Subject: Resolution authorizing the Development Services Department to apply for and administer a Community-Based Transportation Planning (CBTP) from Caltrans in the amount of $250,000 to prepare the West Side Healthy Neighborhood Plan. Background: At the request of Councilman Johnson, staff attended a meeting with the CaTP program manager at Caltrans on September 2, 2004, to review the CaTP program eligibility criteria and discuss the potential for a CaTP grant proposal for the 1-210 corridor in the Sixth Ward. The purpose of the CaIP grant program is to fund coordinated transportation and land use planning projects that encourage community involvement and partnership to promote community identity and quality of life. In particular, the CBIP program is intended to minimize conflicts and enhance compatibility between transportation projects and surrounding communities. Funding is awarded for use over a two-year period. The Arroyo Valley Community Economic Development Corporation (A VECDC), a non-profit public benefit corporation specializing in housing rehabilitation and development services, has proposed to partner with the City in a new CaTP grant proposal. The proposal is a plan to prepare the City's West Side for construction of the final segment of 1-210, scheduled for completion in 2007. With the Council's approval, staff would cooperate with A VECDC to request CBIP funding to prepare the West Side Healthy Neighborhood Plan for West Side neighborhoods surrounding the 1-210 corridor. The West Side Healthy Neighborhood Plan will focus on maintaining the integrity of existing West Side neighborhoods, while taking advantage of economic development opportunities that will come with construction of the new freeway. Ihe following would be proposed as elements of the West Side Neighborhood Plan: · Streetscape improvement plans for State Street, including landscaping, decorative walls, bicycle and transit amenities. · Plans for additional landscaping or other screening needed to improve the appearance of the freeway structure and sound walls, as seen from the surrounding neighborhoods. · A pedestrian and bicycle access plan to maintain connectivity between existing neighborhoods on both sides ofthe freeway corridor. · A new commercial land use plan for property adjacent to the future State Street off-ramps. · Residential property rehabilitation and neighborhood beautification programs to revitalize West Side neighborhoods and encourage high-quality infill development. · A grass-roots community participation program to involve West Side residents, businesses and community organizations in preparing the plan and in its implementation. caTP Grant applications are due to Caltrans on October 15, 2004. If the Grants Ad-Hoc Committee recommends submittal of the application, this item will be presented to the Mayor and Common Council for approval on October 4, 2004. Staff is currently in the process of completing the grant application, but a copy of the form is attached for your information. 2 ,4' ... . . City of San Bernardino - Request for Council Action STAFF REPORT (continued) If awarded. grant funds will be used to hire a professional planning consultant to prepare the plan. and a portion will be allocated to the Arroyo Valley Community Economic Development Corporation as a sub-recipient. for community outreach and public involvement activities. Financial Impact: If the maximum grant amount of $250,000 is awarded, a 20% local match will be required ($50,000), of which 50% may be provided as in-kind services. A VCEDC has volunteered to provide the in-kind services, leaving a need for $25,000 in matching funds to be committed by the City. It is anticipated that grant awards will be announced between March and July of 2005. Therefore, the matching funds would have to be budgeted in FY 05-06. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 3 ,. ~ . .
