5.14 TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC
This section of the EIR evaluates traffic and transportation impacts of the General Plan update and the
Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan based upon an analysis for each project prepared by Transtech Engineers
which can be found in Appendix F of Volume II (General Plan) and Appendix H of Volume III for the Specific
Plan.
Standards and Definitions
Level of Service and V/C Ratio
An important "standard" referred to throughout this document relates to the ability of a roadway and/or
intersection to accommodate traffic. This level of service standard may be used to describe both existing and
future traffic conditions. Level of service (LOS) is a qualitative ranking that characterizes traffic congestion on
a scale of A to F with LOS A being a free-flow condition and LOS F representing extreme congestion.
In addition to the LOS definition, a volume to capacity ratio or V/C ratio is used to provide a more quantified
description of traffic conditions at intersections. The V/C ratio is the ratio of existing or projected traffic
volumes to an intersection's design capacity. A V/C ratio of 0.90 for an intersection means that the traffic
volumes at the intersection represent 90 percent of its design capacity. The V/C ratio can also be related to
the above LOS definitions. For example, an intersection with a V/C ratio exceeding 0.95 is handling traffic
volumes that approach design capacity. The V/C ratio of 0.95 corresponds to LOS E, which indicates an
unacceptable level of service at that particular intersection.
The thresholds corresponding to each level of service and V/C ratios for unsignalized and signalized
intersections are shown in the following table:
~

LOS D is the minimum acceptable threshold at all key intersections in the City of San Bernardino. However,
for roadways, the City's minimum threshold is LOS C. The traffic study guidelines require that traffic
mitigation measures be identified to provide for operations at the minimum threshold levels.

San Bernardino County Congestion Management Program (CMP)
Proposition 111, passed in June 1990, provided additional transportation funding through a $.09 per gallon
increase in the state gas tax. This equates to an estimated annual return of more than $6.25 per person for
cities within San Bernardino County, and $7.1 million for the County. Included with the provision for
additional transportation funding was a requirement to undertake a Congestion Management Program within
each county with an urbanized area of more than 50,000 population, to be developed and adopted by a
designated Congestion Management Agency (CMA). Within San Bernardino County, SANBAG was
designated the CMA by the County Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities representing a majority
of the incorporated population. CMP Roadways and Intersections in the City are identified throughout this
analysis with the "CMP" identifier.
5.14.1 Environmental Setting
5.14.1.1 San Bernardino General Plan
Roadways
The City of San Bernardino has a circulation system consisting of major and secondary arterial roadways,
collector roadways, and local streets.
Major Arterials accommodate six or eight travel lanes and may have raised medians. These facilities carry
high traffic volumes and are the primary thoroughfares linking San Bernardino with adjacent cities and the
regional highway system. Driveway access to these roadways is typically limited to provide efficient high
volume traffic flow. Major Arterials include Waterman Avenue, Mount Vernon Avenue, Highland Avenue, and
Baseline Street.
Secondary Arterials are typically four-lane streets, providing two lanes in each direction. These highways
carry traffic along the perimeters of major developments, provide support to the major arterials, and are also
through streets enabling traffic to travel uninterrupted for longer distances through the City. Secondary
Arterials Include Little Mountain Drive, 9th Street, Arrowhead Avenue (North of 5th Street), and Sierra Way.
Page 5.14-2 . The Planning Center
june 2005
5. Environmental Analysis
Collector Streets are typically two-lane streets that connect the local streets with the secondary arterials
allowing local traffic to access the regional transportation facilities. Collector Streets include California Street,
6th Street, Arrowhead Avenue (north of 30th Street) and Meridian Avenue.
Local Streets are typically two-lane streets that are designed to serve neighborhoods within residential areas.
There are several variations on local streets depending on location, length of the street, and type of land use.
Freeways and Highways
Freeways/Highways are controlled-access, separated roadways that provide for high volumes of vehicular
traffic at high speeds. There are three freeways within the City of San Bernardino and one State highway:
The San Bernardino Freeway (1-10) is the major east-west freeway providing access west to Los Angeles and
east to the desert communities and beyond.
Interstate 215 provides north-south freeway access to Riverside and San Diego counties to the south and the
high desert communities to the north.
Interstate 21 0 provides local east-west service between 1-215 and State Route 330 (SR-330). As of 2005, this
freeway was under construction and was also known as State Route 30 (SR-30) and will become the future
1-210 when completed.
State Route 18 (SR-18) provides a connection from 1-210 to the mountain resorts/communities of Lake
Gregory.
Rail
~
San Bernardino includes both major (main line) and minor (spurs) railroads that accommodate both freight
and passenger rail services. Both Amtrak and Metrolink provide long-distance passenger train service from
the Historic Depot in San Bernardino.
Amtrak trains operate west to Los Angeles; southeast to Palm Springs on to Florida; and northeast to
Needles on to Illinois.
Commuter Rail service is provided by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), which
operates the Metrolink train service. The City of San Bernardino is served by the San Bernardino Line, which
is Metrolink's busiest line, with a station located at the historic Santa Fe Depot. The San Bernardino Line
connects rapidly growing San Bernardino County with the communities of the San Gabriel Valley and
downtown Los Angeles. The San Bernardino Line is currently the only line with service seven days a week.
On weekdays, there are 15 round trips per day on the San Bernardino Line with about half of them during
commute hours, but with close to hourly service in the mid-day.
Transit
Bus Service
Public transportation in the San Bernardino area is provided by Omnitrans, the regional Public Transit
operator for San Bernardino County. Omnitrans operates 21 local-fixed routes, 14 of which serve the San
Bernardino Planning Area. General service hours are between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
The Southern California Rapid Transit District provides express bus service between San Bernardino-
Riverside and Los Angeles (Line 496) under contract with Omnitrans and the Riverside Transit Agency.
Service is provided Sunday through Saturday.
General Plan Update and Associated Specific Plans EIR
City of San Bernardino . Page 5.14-3
5. Environmental Analysis
Intercity bus service is provided to downtown San Bernardino by Greyhound and Continental Trailways that
recently merged. The Greyhound bus depot is at 6th and G Streets.
Omnitrans periodically updates its service plan through the preparation of a Short Range Transit Plan
(SRTP), which evaluates service for a five-year period. A SRTP for the years 2004-2009 has recently been
adopted and includes some changes in routes within San Bernardino. A current route, schedule, and rate
map can be obtained from Omnitrans.
Demand/Response System
Omnitrans provides San Bernardino residents that qualify for service under the Americans with Disabilities
Act with a demand/response transportation system known as "Access." A resident may call and request a
pick-up and delivery to a requested destination on a space-available basis with a reservation made 24 hours
in advance.
Existing Traffic Conditions
This section summarizes the existing circulation conditions in the City of San Bernardino. Eighty
intersections, 23 roadway segments and 12 freeway segments were included in the study area for analysis.
The analysis is based on the existing amount of traffic volume on various street corridors and the capacity of
the streets and intersections to carry traffic. The capacity measures the ability of the street system to meet
and serve the demands from traffic. The capacity of a roadway is affected by a number of factors, e.g., the
street width, the number of travel lanes, the number of crossing streets, the type of traffic control devices, the
presence of on-street parking, the number of access driveways, the streets horizontal and vertical
alignments, etc.
For the study area intersections, the TRAFFIX computer software, Version 7.6 has been utilized to determine
intersection levels of service. Levels of service are presented for the entire intersection, consistent with the
Highway Capacity Manual's Operation Delay (HCM) methodology. While the level of service concepts and
analysis methodology provide an indication of the performance of the entire intersection, the single letter
grade A through F cannot describe specific operational deficiencies at intersections. Progression, queue
formation, and left-turn storage are examples of the operational issues that affect the performance of an
intersection, but do not factor into the strict calculation of level of service. However, the TRAFFIX software
does provide an output that quantifies operational features at intersections, such as vehicle clearance, queue
formation, and left-turn storage requirements.
Existing LOS and V/C Ratios
Existing traffic counts were conducted at various roadway segments and major intersections in 2003 to
determine existing V/C and LOS at these facilities. The LOS of roadway segments is based on average daily
traffic (ADT) volumes and their traffic handling capacities on a daily basis. The LOS of intersections is based
on traffic volumes at the intersections during the AM and PM peak hours and the traffic handling capacity of
the intersection's critical lane. Truck trips have been converted to passenger car equivalents (PCE) for
consistency of analysis. The results are shown in Table 5.14-2 for intersections and Table 5.14.3 for local
roadway segments. CMP intersections and local roadway segments are noted in bold typeface. Intersection
peak hour volumes and LOS calculation sheets are shown in Appendix F of Volume II. Most 24-hour volumes
were based on existing vehicle classification counts conducted for this study and converted into passenger
equivalents (pce) using appropriate factors for various types of trucks. Some volumes were obtained from
various sources in pce.
Existing (1999) traffic volume, V/C ratio and LOS for various freeway segments is shown in Table 5.14-4. This
information was obtained from the 2003 San Bernardino County CMP Update.

Note: Existing volumes are taken from the San Bernardino County CMP, 2003 Update.
General Plan Update and Associated Specific Plans EIR
City of San Bernardino . Page 5.14-11
5. Environmental Analysis
All freeway segments are currently operating at the CMP acceptable LOS of E or better.
5.14.1.2 Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan
The existing Arrowhead Springs resort area is accessed from SR-18 (Rim of the World Highway) via Old
Waterman Canyon Road and Arrowhead Springs Road. Entrance to the gated private property is restricted to
employees and business guests. Old Waterman Canyon Road is a two-lane roadway with access currently
restricted to local residents while on-going flood repairs are taking place. All roadways within the Arrowhead
Springs property are two-lane.
Existing Traffic Conditions within the Study Area
The traffic study area for potential impacts due to the Arrowhead Springs project was determined to include 8
roadway sections and 14 intersections in San Bernardino south of the Arrowhead Springs property. The
analysis of existing conditions is based on the existing amount of traffic volume on various street corridors
and the capacity of the streets and intersections to carry traffic. Capacity measures the ability of the street
system to meet and serve the demands from traffic. The capacity of a roadway is affected by a number of
factors, e.g., the street width, the number of travel lanes, the number of crossing streets, the type of traffic
control devices, the presence of on-street parking, the number of access driveways, the streets horizontal
and vertical alignments, etc.
Existing LOS and V/C Ratios
Daily traffic (ADT) counts as well as peak hour traffic counts of turn movements were conducted during the
months of March and April, 2003 to determine existing traffic volume conditions. The capacity and level of
service (LOS) calculations were also conducted for peak hour traffic conditions at these mid-block locations.
The TRAFFIX intersection capacity software version 7.6, based on Highway Capacity Manual's Operation
Delay methodology was used in intersection LOS calculations. The results are shown in Table 5-14-5 for
roadway segments and Table 5.14-6 for intersections. CMP roadway segments are shown in bold type face.
No CMP intersections are located in the study area for Arrowhead Springs. Intersection peak hour volumes
and LOS calculation sheets are shown in Appendix F of Volume II.

Table 5.14-6
Existing 2003 Intersection Level of Service Conditions
Note: V/C ratios are not calculated for unsignalized intersections.
As Tables 5.14-5 and 5.14-6 show, there are no signalized intersections that operate below the acceptable
LOS D (Le., LOS E or F); however, three intersections currently operate at the threshold (LOS D). Similarly,
all roadway segments operate above the acceptable LOS C.
5.14.2 Thresholds of Significance
According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a project would normally have a significant effect on the
environment if the project could:
T-1
Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load
and capacity of the street system (Le., result in a substantial increase in either the
number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections) .
General Plan Update and Associated Specific Plans EIR
City of San Bernardino . Page 5.14-13
5. Environmental Analysis
T-2
Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established
by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways.
T-3
Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels
or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks.
T-4
Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment).
T-5
Result in inadequate emergency access.
T-6
Result in inadequate parking capacity.
T-7
Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative trans-
portation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks).
The Initial Study, included as Appendix A, Volume II, substantiates that impacts associated with the following
thresholds would be less than significant: T-7. Therefore, this topic will not be addressed in the following
analysis.
A project's traffic impact is determined based upon whether or not traffic volume associated with the project
deteriorates the level of service at an intersection location to an unacceptable LOS E or F and for roadway
segments below LOS C.
According to the City of San Bernardino Traffic Impact Study Guidelines, traffic impacts at an intersection are
to be considered "significant" when any of the following changes in the volume to capacity 01 /C) ratios occur
between the "without project" and the "with project" conditions:
LOS
c
o
E and F
V/C with Project Increases
> 0.0400
> 0.0200
> 0.0100
The LOS and V/C ratios above are based on the delay methodology outlined in the Highway Capacity
Manual.
5.14.3 Environmentallmpacts
The following impact analysis addresses thresholds of significance for which the Initial Study disclosed
potentially significant impacts. The applicable thresholds are identified in parentheses after the impact
statement.
5.14.3.1 San Bernardino General Plan
Through the General Plan update, the City has identified a number of roadway improvements, reclassi-
fication, and addition/deletion of certain roadway segments in order to improve its circulation conditions to
handle existing as well as future traffic volumes. There are approximately 64 changes throughout the City
that are proposed as part of the Circulation Element for General Plan, which are listed in Volume II, Appendix
F. For the future traffic conditions analysis, these improvements have been assumed to be in place in the
circulation system. The proposed Circulation Plan for the General Plan update is shown on Figure 5.14-1.
Page 5.14-14 . The Planning Center
july 2005
5. Environmental Analysis
Focused Travel Demand Model
As part of this circulation system analysis, a focused travel demand model was developed to analyze the
traffic impacts of projected development within the City, including Arrowhead Springs, at "build-out" of
the proposed General Plan. The latest version of the RIVSAN CTP Model, which has a year 2000 base-year
and year 2030 as the horizon year, was used. The City and its Sphere of Influence are comprised of
approximately 564 traffic analysis zones (TAZs) in this model.
Land use quantities (in acres) were estimated for the build-out conditions for each of the TAZs. These land
use quantities were then converted to the number of single and multiple dwelling units, population, retail,
and total employment. The CTP model highway network was also obtained from SCAG and refined by
adding secondary and collector streets and zonal connectors (per the City's recommended network
modification/improvement list) to represent a more detailed network consistent with the finer zone system.
The model input data for the disaggregated T AZs were submitted to SCAG Inland Empire Office. From these
data, SCAG generated trips for all study area zones. The EVTM model was run using these new build-out
trips in the project area. Trip generation, distribution, and mode choice functions for the model were carried
out and the four-period trip tables (AM, PM peak, mid-day and night-time) were provided to the General Plan
team. The team performed traffic assignments for all four periods and combined them to generate total daily
volumes. These daily trip volumes were assigned to the City of San Bernardino's future planned circulation
network with the total trips shown below:
Table 5.14-7
Total Daily Trips at General Plan Buildout
Daily Trips at Build-out Proposed General Plan
From San Bernardino TAZs to All SCAG TAZs 793,557
To San Bernardino TAZs from All SCAG TAZs 797,888
Total 1,591,445

GP IMPACT 5.14-1:
TRIP GENERATION AT BUILD-OUT OF THE GENERAL PLAN WOULD IMPACT
LEVELS OF SERVICE FOR THE EXISTING AREA ROADWAY SYSTEM.
[THRESHOLD T-l ]
Impact Analysis: The future build-out traffic conditions within the City were analyzed based on the traffic
volume data obtained from EVTM runs. The traffic volume data were post-processed using the "B-Turns"
program per SANBAG's requirement. The year 2030 was considered to determine the impacts of the
proposed General Plan in comparison with existing conditions.
Tables 5.14-8 and 5.14-9 show the results of intersection and roadway LOS analysis for 2030 under existing
conditions and with proposed General Plan. This table shows the roadway segments LOS for 2030 under
existing conditions and with the proposed General Plan. The projected volumes were divided by the
assumed future capacities to identify the future volume/capacity ratios, LOS, potential future capacity
deficiencies and expected congestion problems. Intersection peak hour volumes and LOS calculation sheets
are shown in Volume II, Appendix F. CMP intersections are shown in bold typeface in Table 5.14-7. Table
5.14-10 shows the results of the freeway segments analysis with existing conditions and buildout of the
General Plan update.

5. Environmental Analysis
GP IMPACT 5.14-2:
GENERAL PLAN RELATED TRIP GENERATION IN COMBINATION WITH
EXISTING AND PROPOSED CUMULATIVE DEVELOPMENT WOULD RESULT IN
DESIGNATED INTERSECTIONS, ROAD AND/OR HIGHWAYS EXCEEDING
COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AGENCY SERVICE STANDARDS.
[THRESHOLD T-2J
Impact Analysis: The CMP intersections and roadway segments have been noted in GP Impact 5.14-1.
Table 5.14-8 indicates that only one CMP intersection would not meet an acceptable LOS of E or better:
Waterman Avenue @ SR-30 EB ramps. Table 5.14-9 indicates that one CMP roadway segment (Pepper
Avenue between 1-10 and Foothill) would function at an unacceptable LOS F and several freeway segments
would function at an unacceptable LOS F as indicated in Table 5.14-10.
GP IMPACT 5.14-3:
THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN WOULD NOT CHANGE AIR TRAFFIC
PATTERNS THAT WOULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY RISKS.
[THRESHOLD T-3J
Impact Analysis: As discussed in Section 5.8, Land Use and Planning, the proposed General Plan will
incorporate the Airport Master Plan and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the San Bernardino
International Airport (SBIA). Please note that as of the writing of this report, the CLUP for SBIAA were in the
process of being prepared and the Airport was operating under an Interim Airport Operating Plan. As a
consequence, the precise noise contours and safety zones were not available. However, relative policies
have been included in the General Plan. In addition, the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the SBIA was
not available for use in this Plan. Upon adoption of the Airport Master Plan and CLUP, the new noise and
safety zones will be incorporated into the General Plan and the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan analyzed
for relative information.
GP IMPACT 5.14-4:
PROJECT CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADEQUATELY ADDRESS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS (SHARP
CURVES, ETC), POTENTIAL CONFLICTING USES, AND EMERGENCY ACCESS.
[THRESHOLDS T-4 AND T-5J
Impact Analysis: The proposed Circulation Element of the General Plan includes several changes in
roadway classifications and alignments. These changes are intended to address issues of capacity, access,
and safety and are detailed in Appendix F. With one exception (Harrison Parkway), the changes to the
General Plan circulation system are only depicted at a policy level to show classification and general
alignment. When the roadways are designed, they will comply with City and/or Caltrans standards for
design, sight lines, access, speeds, and emergency access.
GP IMPACT 5.15-5:
ADEQUATE PARKING WOULD BE PROVIDED WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE. [THRESHOLD T-6J
Impact Analysis: The proposed General Plan update does not fundamentally change the current land use
patterns but does encourage improvement in quality of life which may include revitalization of some areas
and the introduction of infill development. It also stresses pedestrian friendly development with use of mass
transit which could reduce the need for abundant parking. The General Plan update includes goals and
polices to achieve balance between parking and demand. New developments would be required to provide
adequate parking to meet the parking demand generated.
General Plan Policies and Programs
Land Use Element
Proposed General Plan policies related to the provision/accommodation of alternative transportation options:
General Plan Update and Associated Specific Plans EIR
City of San Bernardino . Page 5.14-27
5. Environmental Analysis

decibel (dB) Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) contour, as shown on Figure LU-4.
Policy 2.9.5: Ensure that the height of structures do not impact navigable airspace, as defined in the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the SBIA.
Policy 2.9.6: As required by State Law for real estate transactions within the Airport Influence Area, as
shown on Figure LU-4, require notification/disclosure statements to alert potential buyers and tenants of the
presence of and potential impacts from the San Bernardino International Airport.
Circulation Element
Proposed General Plan policies related to design of roadways, safety, and the elimination/mitigation of
impacts:
Policy 6.3.3: Require that all City streets be constructed in accordance with the Circulation Plan (Figure C-2)
and the standards established by the Development Services Director.
Policy 6.3.4: Require appropriate right-of-way dedications of all new developments to facilitate construction
of roadways shown on the Circulation Plan.
Policy 6.3.5: Limit direct access from adjacent private properties to arterials to maintain an efficient and
desirable quality of traffic flow.
Page 5.14-28 . The Planning Center
july 2005
5. Environmental Analysis
Policy 6.3.6: Locate new development and their access points in such a way that traffic is not encouraged
to utilize local residential streets and alleys.
Policy 6.3. 7: Require that adequate access be provided to all developments in the City including secondary
access to facilitate emergency access and egress
Proposed General Plan policies related to mass transit and rail:
Policy 6.6.1: Support the efforts of regional, state, and federal agencies to provide additional local and
express bus service in the City.
Policy 6.6.2: Create a partnership with Omnitrans to identify public transportation infrastructure needs that
improve mobility.
Policy 6.6.3: In cooperation with Omnitrans, require new development to provide transit facilities, such as
bus shelters and turnouts, as necessary and warranted by the scale of the development.
Policy 6.6.4: Ensure accessibility to public transportation for seniors and persons with disabilities.
Policy 6.6.5: In cooperation with Omnitrans, explore methods to improve the use, speed, and efficiency for
transit services. These methods might include dedicated or priority lanes/signals, reduced parking standards
for selected core areas, and incorporating Intelligent Transportation System architecture.
Policy 6.6.6: Support and encourage the provision of a range of paratransit opportunities to complement
bus and rail service for specialized transit needs.
Policy 6.6.7 Encourage measures that will reduce the number of vehicle-miles traveled during peak
periods, including the following examples of these types of measures:
. Incentives for car-pooling and vanpooling.
. Preferential parking for car-pools and vanpools.
. Conveniently located bus stops with shelters.
. An adequate, safe, and interconnected system of pedestrian and bicycle paths
Policy 6.6.8: Promote the use of car-pools and van pools by providing safe, convenient park-and-ride
facilities.
Policy 6.7.1: Accommodate railroad services that allow for the movement of people and goods while
minimizing their impact on adjacent land uses.
Policy 6. 7.2: Coordinate with SAN BAG , SCAG, the County and other regional, state or federal agencies and
the railroads regarding plans for the provision of passenger, commuter, and high-speed rail service.
Policy 6.7.3: Encourage the provision of a buffer between residential land uses and railway facilities and
encourage the construction of sound walls or other mitigating noise barriers between railway facilities and
adjacent land uses.
Policy 6.7.4: Identify existing and future high volume at-grade railroad crossings and pursue available
sources of funding (e.g., California Public Utilities Commission) to implement grade separations where
appropriate.
General Plan policies relating to parking:
General Plan Update and Associated Specific Plans EIR
City of San Bernardino . Page 5.14-29
5. Environmental Analysis
Policy 6.9. 1: Ensure that developments provide an adequate supply of parking to meet the needs, on-site or
within close proximity to the developments generating the demand for parking.
Policy 6.9.2: Study the parking standards in the Development Code to determine if they accurately reflect
demand and if adequate flexibility is available to accommodate certain situations, such as shared parking,
senior housing, or transit oriented developments.
Policy 6.9.3: Require that all new developments provide adequate parking to meet their parking demands
on-site or in consolidated parking facilities within close proximity to their site, except for developments within
the Central City Parking District.
Policy 6.9.4: Continue to expand the supply of public parking in off-street parking facilities in downtown San
Bernardino.
Policy 6.9.5: Continue to provide an in-lieu parking fee option for developments in the downtown area to
satisfy all or part of their parking requirement through the payment of an in-lieu fee which will be utilized to
provide parking in consolidated public parking facilities.
Policy 6.9.6: Require that new developments submit a parking demand analysis to the City Engineer for
review and approval whenever a proposal is made to provide less than the full code requirement of parking
for each individual land use on-site at the proposed development.
Policy 6.9. 7: Consider all concepts relating to joint use, shared parking, and off-peak demand to maximize
the utilization of existing and proposed parking in the Central Business District.
Policy 6.9.8: Develop parking and traffic control plans for those neighborhoods adversely impacted by
spillover parking and traffic.
5.14.3.2 Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan
The traffic analysis for the Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan was calculated for two phases of development.
Phase one was assumed to be completed by the year 2007, prior to construction of the secondary access
shown on figures as (Arrowhead Springs) Village Parkway or improvements to Harrison Boulevard. Until
construction of Village Parkway, traffic to/from Arrowhead Springs would use the existing external circulation
network by accessing the development from SR-18. Within Arrowhead Springs, site-specific roadway and
intersection improvements would be completed based on project-related impacts expected with Phase one
traffic volumes. Therefore, roadway and intersection traffic analysis was conducted separately for Phase one
development and the 2030 build-out development, which includes completion of Village Parkway. This
analysis is very conservative in that development included in Phase I for the traffic analysis would in fact take
longer than the year 2007.
AHS IMPACT 5.15-1:
PROJECT-RELATED TRIP GENERATION WOULD IMPACT LEVELS OF SERVICE
FOR THE EXISTING AREA ROADWAY SYSTEM. [THRESHOLD T-1J
Impact Analysis: At build-out, the Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan is expected to generate approximately
24,412 new vehicular trips per day on an average weekday, of which approximately 1,329 trips would be
during the AM commuter peak hour (one hour between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.) and 2,075 trips will be during the
PM commuter peak hour (one hour between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.). These estimates are based on the
proposed land uses for the Arrowhead Springs development and trip generation rates for these land uses
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE, 2004) and other applicable trip generation data
and information. Table 5.14-11 shows traffic generation estimates for the Arrowhead Springs development.

Table 5.14-14
2030 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Volumes and LOS on Roadways in the

Notes:
The 2030 condition assumes that Harrison Street improvements have been constructed between 30th Street with 40th Street. The new roadway is projected
to attract approximately 70% of existing traffic from Highway 18, 40th Street and Waterman Avenue. CMP roadway segments are shown in bold typeface.
The project generated traffic is assumed to be distributed as follows: 15% to and from Highway 18 north of the site, 5% to and from 40th Street west of
Waterman Avenue, 70% to and from SR-30 using the new roadway connecting 30th Street with 40th Street, and 10% to and from 40th Street east of the
new roadway connecting the site with 40th Street. Without new roadway, project traffic will be distributed 75% to the west on 40th Street and 10% to the
east on 40th Street (using Harrison Street, Del Rosa Avenue or Sterling Avenue).

5. Environmental Analysis
AHS IMPACT 5.14-2:
ARROWHEAD SPRINGS RELATED TRIP GENERATION IN COMBINATION WITH
EXISTING AND PROPOSEDCUMULATIVE DEVELOPMENT WOULD NOT
RESULT IN DESIGNATED ROAD AND/OR HIGHWAYS EXCEEDING COUNTY
CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AGENCY SERVICE STANDARDS. [THRESHOLD
T-2J
Impact Analysis: As discussed in impact analysis 5.15-1 above, the CMP roadway segments would meet
both the City and County CMP standards for Intersection Level of Service. There are no designated CMP
intersections in the Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan study area.
AHS IMPACT 5.14-3:
THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD NOT CHANGE AIR TRAFFIC PATTERNS
THAT WOULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY RISKS. [THRESHOLD T-3J
Impact Analysis: The proposed Arrowhead Springs development does not include structures/features that
would impact traffic patterns; and is not located within airport noise or safety zones, nor does it include
airports or heliports. The project would not impact or be impacted by air traffic patterns.
AHS IMPACT 5.14-4:
PROJECT CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADEQUATELY ADDRESS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS (SHARP
CURVES, ETC), POTENTIAL CONFLICTING USES, AND EMERGENCY ACCESS.
[THRESHOLD T-4, T-5J
Impact Analysis: The circulation plan for the Arrowhead Springs project would be required to meet the
roadway design standards of the City of San Bernardino which would address any potential hazardous
conditions. Preliminary consultations with the City regarding the circulation plan and a subsequent alignment
study established the need for a secondary emergency access, which became part of the project design
(Village Parkway) reducing the potential for hazardous conditions.
AHS IMPACT 5.14-5:
ADEQUATE PARKING WOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
[THRESHOLD T-6J
Impact Analysis: All new development planned for the Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan would be required
to meet the parking standards contained in the Municipal Code (Chapter 19.24). These parking standards
are reflected in the Development Standards of the specific plan, which will be adopted by ordinance ensuring
that adequate parking would be provided for the development.
5.14.4 Existing Regulations and Standard Conditions
Portions of Title 12, Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places, and Title 19, Land Use and Subdivision
Regulations, Chapter 19.24, Off-Street Parking Standards, would apply to both the General Plan update and
the Arrowhead Springs specific Plan.
5.14.5 Level of Significance before Mitigation

5.14.7 Level of Significance After Mitigation
5.14.7.1 San Bernardino General Plan
Although the mitigation measures listed above would mitigate GP Impact 5.14-1, the following impact would
remain significant:
. GP Impact 5.14-2
While potential impacts to the freeway mainline segments and ramps have been evaluated and mitigation
measures suggested to reduce impacts, improvements to the freeway system are the responsibility of the
existing regional transportation agencies and not the City of San Bernardino. Without the authority to
implement the mitigation measures, the impact to freeway segments would remain significant and
unavoidable requiring a statement of overriding considerations.
5.14.7.2 Arrowhead Springs Specific Plan
The mitigation measures identified above would reduce potential impacts associated with transportation and
traffic to a level that is less than significant. Therefore, no significant unavoidable adverse impacts relating to
transportation and traffic have been identified. Table 5.14-16 shows the results of intersection LOS analysis
before and after mitigation measures for the year 2007.
