Response Staff has researched this matter and found that section 75.9 of the Code Division, Chapter and Article cited does, in fact, require the so-called Harrison Freeway to be addressed in the Circulation Element. Staff proposes three (3) options: 1) Show SR 18 north of SR 30 to Waterman Canyon as a dashed line on the Circulation Plan, but take the opportunity to direct staff to proceed under section 72 "Abandonment of Highways" of Division 1, Chapter 1, Article 2 of the Streets and Highways Code to delete the route as a State Highway. 2) Show SR 18 north of SR 30 to Waterman Canyon as a dashed line on the Circulation Plan, but state in the text that the City has no means or anticipation of funding, but would not oppose state acquisition, funding and construction. It has been determined that buildout under the Land Use Element is not contingent upon construction of that facility. 3) Show SR 18 north of SR 30 dashed line and add text availability of funding eventual development. to Waterman Canyon or policy to study sources to proceed as a the with '/ /-" / STS;:OF CALlFORNI:-BUSIN:SS.

J ',.~ . , Mr. vincent Bautista City of San Bernardino 300 North "0" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 '" r'iT Dear Mr. Bautista: ,\',. ,''',,,,;: .. "-"'IH:"r " " C:","~II""'. n- ",. 'fll.J'Nll CA !.:H:K:.,'-'.l' I', We have received both the General Plan for the city of San Bernardino and the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan and have the following comments concerning the circulation element of these documents. The first area of concern is the traffic study on which both of these documents were based. We can not fully analyze this General Plan until the following points are clarified and/or corrected: o On Table 11, it would be helpful to have a list of the assumptions used so that a more complete analysis can be performed. o On Table 13, the percentages appear to have been miscalculated and it is unclear where the 1.6 million retail trips have been generated from. o Total build-out of Regional Statistical Area 29 is stated as 7.1 million trips which is more than all of Orange County at present. This seems improbable and we would like to see clarification of how this was calculated. o On Page 4-100 of the Draft Environmental Impact Report, the future volumes for Interstates 10 and 215 are less than current Ca1trans counts. o Throughout both documents the words "trip end" and "trip" are used interchangeably which is incorrect. This may have falsely inflated the total number of trips. o Table 13 adds the different land use types which double counts the trips that are made between different land uses. c ~, o ~~ ~ Mr. vincent Bautista Page 2 May 3, 1989 o On page 3.2.1 of the Land Use Alternatives, the segment of Interstate 10 west of Interstate 215 will not be adequate and will require 10 lanes. The segment of Interstate 215 north of the proposed Route 30 Interchange should be 4 existing and will require 8 lanes in the year 2010. The development of facilities for the state Highway System and local roads in San Bernardino City are critical to the success of the circulation element of this General Plan. In response to these facilities we have the following comments: o The General Plan shall identify truck routes which shall have 50 foot curb radius at ramp entrances and interchanges. o All bus routes should require turnouts and m~n~mum 30- foot curb radius with prohibition of parking. o Each project along Interstates 10 and 215 should have land dedication for future expansion and if residential, there should be noise attenuation. o A Ramp Metering Policy for interchanges in the city should be formed and closely coordinated with the Department of Transportation. o The adopted routing for Route 18 between Route 30 and Waterman Canyon Road shall be reflected in the General Plan as per Division 1, Chapter 1, Article 2, of the Streets and Highways Code of the California Transportation Commission. o Route 66 should be developed as a possible 6-lane facility with restricted parking. o Route 330 should have no access points other than ramps or interchanges. In addition to facility management, a circulation element must contain strategies in reference to demand mitigations and job/housing ratio to be effective. In reference to Demand Management strategies we have the following comments: c ~ '-' ~~ ~ Mr. Vincent Bautista Page 3 May 3, 1989 o Page 4-111 of the General Plan, mentions a Transportation Management Demand System which is a term we are not familiar with. If this is a corollary to a Transportation System Management (TSM) plan, we concur with that policy because it will efficiently manage large concentrations of traffic. o Page 4-94 of the General Plan states that bike trails are an important part of the city; however, the Draft Environmental Impact Report totally discounts their effect. We would like clarification of how the City will use bike trails. o The General Plan states the importance of transit in policies 6.4.9, 6.4.10, and 6.4.11, which is contrary to the Draft Environmental Impact Report. The Draft Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan fails to consider transit in the overall circulation plan of the city. These inconsistencies should be corrected. o All transport of hazardous waste in Policy 6.3.5 of the General Plan should be made during off peak hours and each carrier should have a plan in case of spillage. o Neither document states any specific policy on ridesharing or demand reduction. o Both documents omit any analysis of how developers will participate in the funding of Park and Ride lots. o Given the large volume of traffic being generated, it will be necessary to examine which arterials will be updated to the status of alternate corridors to relieve congestion and/or reliance on the State highway. As mentioned earlier, demand management will be an important part of the Circulation Plan, in addition facilities management which will effectively manage the traffic in the city. c ,.... o i "'-4 '-' Mr. Vincent Bautista Page 4 May 3, 1989 Each jurisdiction should effectively manage/reduce traffic generated. Another aspect of demand strategy is job/housing balance. We would like to see some analysis of jobs created in the city in relation to those who commute. In addition, it would be beneficial if an analysis of the interrelationship between the Economic Development Element and Circulation were included. This last section will pertain to funding mechanisms for transportation facilities: o If policies such as 6.1.11 and 6.1.14 in the General Plan are needed to maintain an acceptable Level of Service, then why does the Draft Environmental Impact Report state how unattainable they are? If this is true, the city should adopt a policy to fund the maintenance an acceptable Level of Service. o Policies 6.1.3 and Implementation 16.3 shall include State highways with local streets and roads. o All new development that significantly effects traffic should be reviewed by the City as stated in Policy 6.2.7 of the General Plan. Caltrans shall also review all developments that have a significant effect on traffic. We have appreciated the opportunity to review the General Plan of San Bernardino City and look forward to future communication. If you have any questions, please call Richard Malacoff at 383-4550.

However, the consultant has made additional modifications which have resulted in changes to well over 200 pages, plus a complete repagination of the document. In view of this, we have had no choice but to issue a completely new Draft General Plan entitled "Public Hearing Draft." Attached is a list provided by the consultant of the "sub- stantive" revisions they have made. I regret any inconven- ience this may have caused.

Leaal Reauirements. P. 143 Revise the last sentence of the second paragraph as follows. "state law requires preparation of a housing element as part of a jurisdiction's general plan (Government Code Section 65302(c). The element is to consist of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing' needs, and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing. It is also required to identify sites for housing and to make adequate provision for the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community (Govern- ment Code section 65583). The most recent amendments to housing element law (1981 1986, Section 65583 (~)(~) (c) (1)) require site identification based on local need for emergency shelters and transitional housing." B. Housina Characteristics. 4. Housina Value and Costs. P. 159 ~ Revise the first paragraph as follows. "In 1980 the median price of a home in the City of San Bernardino was $51,925. By 1988 the median house price based on Multiple Listina data , had risen 76.2 percent to $91,500. County house prices rose a little more from $63,400 in 1980 to $113,220 in 1988, a change of 78.6 percent. However, changes in housing prices in the City and County are modest compared to what happened statewide between 1980 and 1988. In 1980 the median price of a house statewide was $84,745, by ~ 1988 it had more than doubled, rising 106.9 Percent to $175,295." C. Potential Residential Development. P. 163 Add a new paragraph between the fifth and sixth paragraphs to read as follows. "Figure 4, Existing Land Use, shows the distribution of residential uses in the City by single family and multiple family densities. Figure 6, Generalized Land Use Concept, includes vacant lands that are designated for residential uses and existing residential areas where higher densities are permitted."

" J '-' Move the second paragraph through the remainder of the page to section E. Constraints on Housing Development, b. Infrastructure, page 182. Merge the fourth paragraph of this section with the second paragraph. Add a new paragraph before the last paragraph on the page. "Generally, the policies and programs of the Utilities Element of the General Plan provide that the infrastructure supporting new housing development will be expanded concurrent with development. The City Water Department indicates that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate the demands attributrable to the Plan's housing buildout. It will be necessary to extend water distribution lines, boosters and water storaae facilities for -t,e. new housing tracts on the periphery of existing development. Costs for such improvements will be borne by the developers. However, the Water De~artmeRt Citv is unable to mandate that service be extended by individual water purveyors within the City. This could affect the timing and location of development. - The Municipal Water Department has initiated a program to expand its wastewater treatment capacity. Present design capacity is 28 mgd of primary and secondary treatment, and three mgd of tertiary treatment. The expansion will add 30 mgd of primary treatment capacity, 15 mgd of secondary treatment capacity, UP to 10.5 mgd of tertiary treatment capacity, and 15 mgd of solids handling facilities. The treatment plant capacity will be expanded in either 7.5 mgd or 15 mgd modules depending on growth within the service area. Additionallv. the Water Department has entered into a reaional pro;ect aareement to provide tertiarv treatment for all existina capacity . Disposal of the additional sewage resulting from General Plan residential buildout will require the construction of new and/or upgraded water treatment and collection facilities within the City pursuant to the roettsed Faeilit.ies !faBt.er rlaR aRa the City's Sewer System Master Plan. ,- Not all of the area designated for new residential is served by sanitary sewers.

Current Housinq Needs a. Affordabilitv of Housinq. P. 169 Insert the following two paragraphs before the paragraph that begins "An analysis..." '-' "Another explanation is the relativelY hiqh number of ~service sector >>a.ifts ;obs in San Bernardino. The increase in service sector emploYment opportunities in the local economy mirrors similar increase at the state and national levels. In view of the fact service sector ;obs pav less than ;obs in manufacturinq and qovernment sectors. the affordabilitv of housinq becomes less important than the waqes paid to employees in this sector . Because of the hiqh number of households livinq at or below the area median income. it is important to recoqnize that the creation of hiqher pavinq ;obs in the local economy can have a siqnificant impact on the abi1itv of a household to afford housinq current Iv available in San Bernardino.

Recommended revisions to the text are listed below, but in most cases, have not been written yet. Prior to revising the text, the Mayor and Common Council should review and concur with the proposed revisions and determine if additional revisions are necessary. Planning commission recommended changes to text. Paqe 316 The portion of italics should follows. Government Code Section 65302 (b) quoted in be quoted verbatim rather than paraphrased as "A circulation element consisting of the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, trans- portation routes, terminals and other local public utilities and facilities, all correlated with the land use element of the plan." Paqe 316 The two lists (A through F) on this page should be deleted. The first is not outlined in the General Plan Guidelines as noted, and the second is inconsistent with the actual "components of the circulation system" in the element. Paqe 318 Figure 28 should be deleted since it is included in the Technical Background Report. Reference to this figure in the last sentence of paragraph 2, Page 317 should be changed to read, "Figure 32 on Pages 3-12 of the Technical Background Report illustrates the roadway standards utilized in 1988. See current City standards for present design criteria. Paqe 319. oaraqraoh 5 Reference to Table 3.1-3 should be changed to Table 42. Paqe 320. oaraqraoh 1 Reference to Table 3.1-3 should be changed to Table 42. Add the following sentences to. paragraph 1. The table reflects roadways that were operating at level of service C or lower based on daily capacities derived by DKS Associates and the City Traffic Engineering staff, utilizing level of service definitions established by the Citizen Advisory Committee which reflect regional driver's percep- tions of traffic conditions. Level of service C waS "accep- table" as a volume-to-capacity ratio up to 0.69. Generally, the upper limit of level of service C is defined by traffic c '" \... engineers to be a volume-to-capacity '-" ratio of 0.79. Paae 320. oaraaraoh 2 Modify the last sentence to read: "For example, capacity deficiencies (V/C ratios worse than 0.69) are currently experienced on Highland Avenue, Baseline street and Redlands Boulevard near I-215, on Mill street east of Waterman Avenue, on Waterman Avenue near Hospitality Lane, 40th street between Sierra and Mountain View, Sierra Way between 40th and 5th streets, Del Rosa Drive near Route 30, 9th Street between Tippecanoe and Palm, and on "E" Street near its southern end." Paae 322. Section G. Future Conditions Insert the following new paragraph between paragraphs 1 and 2: "In order to forecast future traffic conditions and evaluate alternative land use and circulation systems, a travel demand forecasting model was developed. The microcomputer model was developed using the TRANPLAN software and was based on the regional model developed by caltrans for the Route 30 Freeway EIR.It, therefore, includes the regional growth and pro- grammed regional transportation improvements (e.g., Route 30 Freeway) forecast by SCAG and Caltrans for the year 2010. The focus of the model is on the city of San Bernardino and areas immediately surrounding the city. It includes 130 traffic analysis zones (TAZ's) of which 75 are within the City of San Bernardino. An additional 33 zones were identified to represent trips to/from locations further outside the study .area." Insert the following new paragraphs between paragraphs 3 and 4 : "Each of the alternatives evaluated, including the Draft Land Use Element, were first evaluated by assigning the traffic to the transportation network associated with the previous Circulation Element. This was done to identify areas of the City where additional facilities above and beyond those included in the previous circulation Element should be added or areas where the travel demands associated with the Draft Land Use Element don't warrant the construction of new facilities. In all cases, it was assumed that the facilities shown on the Circulation Element would be built out to the roadway standards for that classification of roadway (e,g., majorhighways would be fully built out with 100 feet of right-of-way and 72-80 feet of pavement). The primary locations where significant capacity deficiencies were forecast were in the areas south of the downtown area along "E" street and Waterman Avenue. For that reason, the Circulation Element recommends construction of a new north- south roadway from the Tri-City area north connecting to Lena Road. A limited amount of demand (approximately 2,500 vehicles per day) was forecast for the previously proposed east-west roadway connecting the CSUSB area to Waterman c -- '-'" ....,./ Avenue, so the Draft Circulation Element proposes deleting this unbuilt roadway Insert at end of section G: "ISSUES" The following issues regarding circulation were identified: 1. A system of roadways must be implemented that provides adequate capacity to accommodate traffic generated by land uses in the city at an acceptable level of service to the community. 2. The impact of traffic on adjacent land uses should be minimized. 3. The impacts of truck traffic should be minimized, particularly in residential areas. 4. Alternate modes of transportation should be encouraged to reduce automobile traffic and to provide options for both commute and recreational travel by alternate modes. 5. The impact of transmission lines and pipelines on adjacent land uses should be minimized. 6. Railroad services for the movement of people and goods should be available to the citizens of San Bernardino but their impact on adjacent land uses should be mini- mized. 7. The citizens of San Bernardino need to have access to air transportation services but the impacts of air service on the City should be minimized. 8. An adequate supply of parking is necessary to accom- modate the demands of developments in the city. 9. The availability of parking in some areas is limited. c c ""'"' '-' \ ...,I GOALS. OBJECfIVES AND POLICIES The following presents the goals, objectives and policies for circulation in the City of San Bernardino.
