MEMORANDUM To: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: LORI SASSOON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER KAREN GULLEY :\ND COLIN DRUKKER, THE PUNNING CENTER PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM JUNE 9,2006 Based on a series of discussions with City staff, we have prepared a revised draft work program for the proposed 2% Demonstration Project with the City of San Bernardino. In general, the services will focus on TOO concept planning within V. mile around the future metrolink station area at Rialto and E Street, as well as along the BRT line from Rialto through the downtown area. In addition certain parcels within the downtown area will be analyzed using the Economic Development Analysis. The next step in the process is coordinating with SCAG on the Memorandum of Understanding required to begin work on the tasks. 1. TOD Vision and Conceptual Plan for "E" Street Station - This future transitcenter will connect Omnitrans bus service with Metrolink and is also envisioned as a future node for Omnitrans' BRT service that runs through the City. This station will become a new hub of activity in the San Bernardino Valley and there is enormous opportunity for transit-supportive development around this station. This task would involve a transit village planning/design effort within a V. mile radius around the station area, extending along the BRT route in the downtown area, and would consist of: . Opportunities and Constraints Analysis - based upon the background information provided by the City, as well as the transit agencies, we will identify the major pertinent issues associated with TOO planning within and adjacent to the study area. This will include a half-day meeting with City staff to discuss and map the opportunities and constraints. Key City staff will need to attend the meeting so that we can efficiently collect the relevant information. A summary memo of the key findings/considerations will be prepared, as well as an Opportunities and Constraints exhibit(s}. . TOO Conceptual Designs - Based upon the opportunities and constraints analysis and any recent, existing market demand information, we will prepare schematic design concepts for the study area. The concepts will focus on land use, circulation, pedestrian connectivity, potential product types, and other urban elements intended to support transit use for both Metrolink and BRT. We will evaluate pedestrian linkages within the area, BRT services that provide meaningful support for metro link commuters, and new development types that are desirable for this area. . Visioning Workshops - In coordination with the City, we will conduct two visioning workshops. The first is expected to be key landowners and other stakeholders. This type of outreach may take the form of a series of small group meetings with selected stakeholders. A second workshop is will be conducted with City officials. The purpose of the meeting is to obtain input on TOO planning and development concepts through a Transit Village Preference Survey, as well input on issues to be considered in the planning process. A range of residential and mixed-use development types will be explored with officials to create a catalog of ~","""""'~"" 818 West Seventh Street, 12,h Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017 Phone: (800) 337-4819 info@socalcompass.org I www,socalcompass.org A project of the Southern California Aswdation of Governments ~~ Y';f )'it ASSO(,...TIO" of 60YU,.M[HTS ... 2006-232 . . desired/successful prototypes for use by the City. We also recommend the creation of two to three photo simulations for select locations in the study area that would depict potential future conditions based on the market analysis. Depending on the timing of the workshops, it may be desirable to obtain comments on the draft alternative concept plans. Advertising and logistics associated with the workshop will be provided by the City. A summary memo of the input received and a draft consensus vision for the study area will be prepared. Stakeholder Meetings - Up to two meetings with City will be conducted during this process to obtain comments at key intervals. TOD Plan Refinement and Implementation Strategy - The concept plans will be refined into a preferred TOD Concept Plan. The final product will include a series of exhibits and supporting text/statistics illustrating the vision. This document will also identifY the next steps associated with implementation, as well as the parties responsible. . 2. Economic Development Analysis - An Economic Development Analysis will be conducted for selected parcels/product types within the study area. These parcels are the priority areas defined by staff, such as the Food 4 Less site north of the future station area, potential joint use parcels identified for station facilities, and a large parcel across from the historic Santa Fe Depot Station. An Economic Development Analysis provides decision makers with the requisite information to make informed land use policy decisions. The methodology assesses the financial feasibility of site specific developments. Pro-Forma analyses are tailored to the constraints of individual sites and decided upon mixes of uses to determine whether a proposed project or prototype development lies in the red or black. A total of two (2) sites will be analyzed for the proposed 2% Demonstration Project. The Pro-Forma analysis models developer costs, revenues, and expected returns to provide such evidence. In so doing the model is specific to the intricacies of the proposed development. For example the model considers the amounts of below and above grade parking, the amounts of residential space versus retail space, and the variable costs and market prices these uses generate. Moreover, the analysis is framed by the existing regulations to show what financial feasibility looks like at a baseline level, and what feasibility would look like with adjustments to policy - particularly parking, density, height and setback requirements. Typically three conditions are analyzed per site - development of the site under existing zoning regulations or the proposed project, followed by two land use mix scenarios that vary from this baseline. This offers insight as to the extent of policy change that would be needed to achieve financial feasibility. In this way decision makers are able to assess a development and/or policy, consider its financial feasibility as it is proposed, and suggest informed modifications that would better serve the public interest. As a final deliverable a brief 5-1 0 page synopsis of findings will be provided as well as visual charts and graphs illustrating the decided upon mix ofland uses we modeled and the subsequent financial returns for each scenario.
