CITY OF SAN BERN.41RDINO - REQUEST IC"A"OR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT Page 1 of 2
Southern California is required by the 1991 South Coast
Air Quality Management Plan and the 1992 Federal Attainment Plan
for Carbon Monoxide to develop Transportation Control Measures
(TCM) , in order to reduce the number of vehicle trips. This
action is deemed necessary for the region to meet established air
quality standards .
The Congestion Management Program for San Bernardino
County, as amended by action of the SANGAG Board of Directors on
4-7-93, requires jurisdictions to commit to certain actions by 6-
30-93 . Also, to adopt a transportation control measure ordinance
by 12-31-93 .
A reduction of 500,000 trips per day is mandated for
Southern California by the South Coast Air Quality Management
Plan. San Bernardino County' s share of this targeted reduction
is 40 , 000 trips per day.
Representatives from local government and SANBAG have
developed a list of core, recommended, discretionary and regional
actions, for inclusion in the TCM Program. Core actions, listed
on Attachment "A, " are required to be adopted by all local
agencies by 12-31-93 . Recommended, discretionary and regional
actions are listed on Attachments B, C, and D, and are to
be considered for adoption.
It was the feeling of the representatives that developed
these actions that adoption of the core actions would achieve the
required reduction of 40,000 trips per day. However, if this is
determined not to be the case, some of the recommended, discre-
tionary, and regional actions will need to be adopted.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
intends to adopt a backstop rule by 1-1-94 , which will allow the
District to impose additional actions on local agencies as
required to meet the targeted reduction in trips. It is
generally considered that implementation of a "backstop" rule by
the District would be undesireable, since the cities and county
would lose control.
Ten (10) of the core actions are design standards for
development, and one (1) is for new facilities by the local
agencies . These actions include providing a telecommuting center
and video conferencing facilities, and reduction in parking space
requirements. Adoption of these core actions may necessitate
amendments to our Development Code, and perhaps General Plan.
The proposed resolution commits the City to adopt the
core actions, and to consider the other actions. An ordinance
will need to be adopted by 12-31-93 to authorize implementation
of the Transportation Control Measure (TCM) core actions.

CORE ACTIONS
DESCRIPTION:
Core actions need to be adopted by all jurisdictions in the South Coast Air Basin, i.e. the Valley and
Mountain portions of San Bernardino County. The core program consists predominantly of design standards
for new development. Application of these measures to existing development may be considered at the
regional level for certain actions, such as requiring the installation of bicycle parking facilities.

Attachment B
RECOMMENDED, NOT REQUIRED, ACTIONS
DESCRIPTION:
Recommended actions are highly recommended for consideration by all jurisdictions in the South Coast Air
Basin. These actions are not only needed to achieve the subregional trip reduction target but will support
the core actions resulting in a much higher level of overall effectiveness for the subregional implementation
program. However, because the applicability of these measures depends on local characteristics;
opportunities and resources, it is difficult to specify a standard level of implementation for all jurisdictions.
The recommended program consists predominantly of new facilities and land use pattern measures.
ACTION RECON04E VDED ACTIONS
CATEGORY
New Facilities 1. Designate park-and-ride lots for area commuters.
7. Install or widen sidewalks, where appropriate, to safely accommodate pedestrians.
8. Develop bus shelter retrofit programs.
I mid Use panes 1. Increase residential densities around transit stations. (Suggested Level of Implementation:
Densities of 10 DUTAeres for higher]permitted within 114 mile of transit nodes or stations.)
3. Increase commercial densities around transit stations. (Suggested Level of Implementation:
Commercial density of 1.0 FAR for higher]within 114 mile of transit nodes or stations.)
5. Increase density of mixed residential and commercial around transit stations.
9. Provide incentives to incorporate on-site child care facilities and senior citizen facilities.
(Suggested Level of Implementation: Orild care and senior citizen uses calculated at 50% [25-
75%]or actual floor area.)

Attachment C
DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS
DESCRIPTION:
Discretionary actions are additional design standards, new facilities and land use pattern measures which
may be implemented locally depending on local characteristics and available resources. These measures
either require pre-existing local conditions to be effective or are too controversial to be uniformly applied to
all jurisdictions.

REGIONAL ACTIONS
DESCRIPTION:
Regional actions are those which, if implemented locally, may not only place individual jurisdictions within
a subregion at a competitive disadvantage, but may put the subregion, as a whole, at a disadvantage. These
measures fall into two categories: employer-based trip reduction programs and market incentives.
Regulation of employers or other existing sources would place significant administrative burdens on local
governments and, in some cases, may raise complex legal issues. Market incentives generally require
enabling legislation, and must be implemented region-wide to be effective. Local jurisdictions may choose
H to implement measures from this list and would receive credit for implementation accordingly.
ACTION REGIONAL ACTIONS

Employer-Based 1. Require submission of trip reduction plans for employers of less than loo employees or
