CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
LAND USE OBSERVATIONS
Existing Topographies
. Significant City areas traversed by Lytle Creek and the Santa Ana River
. Major corridors of property holdings by the railroads
. The City is large-more than 55 square miles in area
. Because of the mountain passes, San Bernardino is a transcontinental hub
Jurisdictional
. Checkerboard pattern of City and County jurisdictional areas on the north
. Major concentration of County, State, Federal governmental functions in and near
downtown
. Surrounded by five cities which have grown by 37,400 residents during 1990-
2000, while San Bernardino has grown by 16,400 during the same period
. San Bernardino added 5,600 housing units during the 1990s, while the five
surrounding cities added 9,300 units
Economic Development
24% of the City's area now within existing redevelopment project areas
. Another 15%I of the City lies in roads, railroads, storm channels, and other
rights-of-way
. Larger activity locations include the hospitals, the CSU-SB campus (23,400
students and 1,200 faculty), and the community college campus (10,200 students
and 400 faculty)---all heavily influenced by governmental spending/investment
policies
. San Bernardino has steadily represented about 11 % of total County population
. Defense conversion remains a continuing challenge
. The City has 10 redevelopment areas comprising 8,197 aces (12.8 square miles).
The IVDA project area includes 14,300 acres (22.3 square miles).
.
Changes Underway
. A City of corridors challenged by regional retail dilution
. Transfer of economic activity to "office-at-home"
. The "new economy" requires talent, training, venture capital, superior
communications utilities, and available adjacent customers

LABOR FORCE DATA FOR SUB-COUNTY AREAS
(Data Not Seasonally Adjusted)
1999 BENCHMARK
*Monthly sub-county data are derived by multiplying current estimates of
county-wide employment and unemployment by the respective employment and
unemployment shares (percentages) in each sub-county area at the time of the
1990 Census. Sub-county labor force is then obtained by summing employment
and unemployment, and the result is divided into unemployment to calculate
the unemployment rate, Based on Each Area's 1990 Census Share of County
Employment and unemployment*
..
This method assumes that the rates of change in employment and unemployment,
since 1990, are exactly the same in each sub-county area as at the county
level (i.e., that the shares are still accurate). If this assumption is not
true for a specific sub-county area, then the estimates for that area may not
be representative of the current economic conditions. Since this assumption
is untested, caution should be employed when using these data.
All unemployment rates shown are calculated on unrounded data. These data
are not seasonally adjusted.
CCO stands for Census County Division.
CDP stands for Census Designated Place.
County Data are for April (Preliminary) 2000

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Understanding of the Asslgllment
The General Plan process is iterative. Economic analysis' informs the
General Plan development program and other elements, identifies public policy
trade-offs, tests alternatives, and helps formulate implementation policies. The
General Plan is a policy document for the comprehensive and orderly
development of the City, with which zoning must be consistent. This assignment
must articulate an economic vision for the City, build a comprehensive,
coordinated, and orderly strategy towards achieving this vision, test the land use
plan's impact on the City's fiscal health, and formulate General Plan policies for
supporting the strategy.
Having worked on numerous assignments for and with the City of San
Bernardino for more than 30 years, ERA is weH acquainted with the initiatives
and results of economic development. Our firm has worked in most of the major
corridors and districts and is familiar with the range of challenges the
contemporary city must address, from ongoing reuse programming at former
Norton Air Force Base to the fundamental revitalization of Mt. Vernon Avenue.
Task 1: Bacqround Resc;arch and General Plan Review
Task 1.1: City Tour - We will begin with a comprehensive lOur of the
City, including a drive to major employment, commercial, and residential centers
of the City and the surrounding region. We will meet with City staff 10 discuss
economic issues, opportunities and constraints, work completed 10 date, and goals
and objectives for the City and its communities.
TlISk 1.2: Dolo Collection - At this time, we will coHect and review the
foHowing information:
· All prior studies related to economic development and fiscal analysis
· Census and other very recent demographic data
· Regional industry and employment data
· The existing General Plan and land use maps
· A list or report on planned major infrastructure improvements in the
City and surrounlling reigon .

· Any recent comparable land sales or development trend data that the
City may have
· A list of planned and proposed major private and public development
projects in the market area (e.g., "Lakes and Streams")
· A list of major industries and employers in the market area
· A list of local contacts for data collection
. The City budget, CIP, and any prior public facility financing plans
Task 2: Analyisys of Supply, Demand, and f'..apture Potential
Task 2,1: Trrule Area Identification - Based on our observation of
regional development trends and competitive locations, the nature of land use
concepts under consideration, . and a review of barriers and access, we will define
the primary and secondary trade areas for market review. Different trade areas
may be defmed for different land uses.
Task 2.2: Market Demographk A1J4lysis - Demographic trends are key
determinants for commercial and housing demand. We will prepare a
demographic analysis of the city and its market region. Characteristics we will
review include population, households, age distribution, income distribution, and
educational attainment and the evolving futures of each of these indicators.
Task 2.3: Selected Real EstDte C1uuacteristics - We will review basic
real estate characteristics for industrial and commercial development in the city
and surrounding region. This review will include the volume of development
over time by major land use, and an inventory of major commercial and industrial
developments. We will conduct the following research:
1. Characteristics of major industrial real estate trends
2. Characteristics of major commercial real estate trends
3. Characteristics of major tourism related development trends
4. Characteristics of any major planned or proposed projects in the City
and its market areas
.
ERA will identify a 2020 horizon for any and all projections of future needs and
demands for land use types.

Task 3: PreliminaQ' Program Recomendations
Task 3.1: Market Findings.. We will present market findings based on
the above analysis. These findings will include estimates of the supportable
market (now and in the future), the City's potential economic future under various
competitive scenarios, the potential for specific market niches, the level of
potential private interest, and potential risks. ERA will project the futures by
2020 in five-year increments.
Task 3.2: Opportunities lor New Development and Redevelopment --
Based on the market and economic analysis, we will identify opportunities for
new development concepts within the City's infill areas, undeveloped areas, and
potential annexation areas. We will also identify opportunities for redevelopment
and revitalization of existing areas, if appropriate. (ERA is already familiar with
the major redevelopment efforts in the 10+ separate project areas.)
Task 3.3: Proposed Economic Development Program.. Working with
staff, we will recommend a preliminary economic development policy for the
City. The policy will iden~ the following:
· Overall vision
· Specific economic development sub-concepts
. Desired land use mix
. Suggested economic development clusters and preliminary locational
recommendations
ERA will take care to build upon the recently adopted BIG Plan by formulating
the desired land use allocations, development quality, and intended occupants.
Task 4: .Tolnt Mayor and Connell Plannlna Commission WorbhQP
ERA will present to the Mayor and Council and Planning Commission of
the City of San Bemardin.o the results of the research program to date and
preliminRry recommendations indicated by the research process in Tasks 1
through 4. This presentation will include PowerPoint slides, handout materials,
and summaries of oncoming recommendations. Also, through this workshop

process, ERA will make its professional staff available to this body of elected and
appointed officials for an open conversation on a wide variety of economic
development topics related to the overall improvement of the City of San
Bernardino relative to its competition throughout Southern California. '.
Ta~k S: Economic and Fi~C81 Impact Analy~l~
Because the economic element of the General Plan is not specifically tied
to any land use allocations, it will be difficult to assign specific fiscal and
economic impacts to any planned alternative generated through this process.
However, it will be possible to illustrate in qualitative terms the potential for the
performance characteristics of land use types and their effects through
implementation of the Plan on issues such as:
. Job creation
· Retail sales
· Populatio~ growth
ERA will also provide the City of San Bernardino with some generic per
square foot and per capita planning and performance parameters based on an
examination of the existing General Fund budgets of the City of San Bemardino.
Ta~k 6: Program Recommendatlon~
ERA will present a draft and a fina1 report that will include the economic
and market research findings. We will detail the suggested land use chnge
initiatives we believe the City can accomplish by joining market forces with
deliberte economic development initiatives. The economic analysis will
incorporate comments and suggestions from the working session with the Mayor,
Council, and Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino.
