Agenda Item # 2
November 16, 1993
Page 1
REQUEST
The request is for an amendment to Development Code Section 19.20.039, General Standards,
adding state mandated Transportation Control Measures (TCM) as subsection 26 and
renumbering existing subsections 26 and 27 as subsections 27 and 28 respectively.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRON'NIENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) STATUS
Pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA guidelines, actions taken by regulatory agencies, as
authorized by state or local ordinance to ensure enhancement or protection of the environment
are exempt from CEQA. This proposed ordinance implements state legislated measures designed
to reduce vehicle trips reducing air pollutants and improving air quality.
BACKGROUND
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.
The Congestion Management Program for San Bernardino County (CMP) requires jurisdictions
to adopt a Transportation Control Measure Ordinance by December 31, 1993.
Representatives of local government and the San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) have developed a list or core, recommended, discretionary and regional actions for
inclusion in the TCM program. Core Actions, listed on Attachment "C" are required to be
adopted by all local agencies by December 31, 1993. Recommended, Not Required, Actions
are included as Attachment "D", Discretionary Actions are included as Attachment "E", and
Regional Actions are included as Attachment "F", and must be considered for adoption.
On June 7, 1993, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 93-180 committing
to develop the local portion of the TCM Sub-Regional Implementation Program. On October
21, 1993, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 93-398 committing the City
to adopt the core actions recommended by SANBAG. This Development Code Amendment will
implement the Core Actions in compliance with this resolution.
ANALYSIS
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Development Code Amendment is consistent with the General Plan in that it is consistent
with General Plan Objective 6.4. This objective encourages the accommodation of alternative
modes of transportation to the private automobile in the City. It is also consistent with criteria
Development Code Amendment No.93-13
Agenda Item R 2
November 16, 1993
Page 2
in General Plan Implementation Measure I6.22, which requires the City to incorporate
transportation demand management objectives into the project review process, using many of the
measures proposed by SANBAG as TCM Core Actions.
AMENDMENT
The amendment adds the SANBAG recommended Core Actions as subsection 26 of
Development Code Section 19.20.030. The proposed amendment, Attachment "B", establishes
thresholds for many of the Core Actions based upon review thresholds contained in the
Congestion Management Program for San Bernardino County. These TCM measures will bring
the City into compliance with the requirement of adopting the TCM Core Actions by the
December 31, 1993 deadline, and once implemented will help reduce the total number of vehicle
trips, reducing air pollutants and improving air quality.
Subparagraph K of the proposed amendment requiring City participation in the Countywide
Bicycle Plan will not be included in the text of the Development Code Amendment, but will be
included as a part of the ordinance adopting the amendment. The reason for this is that the
Development Code contains standards and requirements of development, but not of the City.
i Subparagraph K is clearly not a development standard or requirement, but is a requirement of
the City. Its inclusion in the ordinance adopting the amendment ensures its adoption and City
participation in the Bicycle Plan in accordance with the required Core Actions.
The amendment does not include any of the Recommended, Discretionary or Regional Actions
listed in Attachment "C". Staff considered these actions for inclusion in the amendment, but
does not recommend inclusion or adoption at this time. Many of these actions are applicable
on a case-by-case basis to projects, depending on project scope, but are not applicable to all
projects. In cases where such actions would be appropriate, the project would trigger the
threshold for a Transportation Impact Analysis MA) Report, pursuant to the requirements of
the CMP. A project TIA would identify the need for those measures which would then be
included in the project mitigation measures or as a Condition of Approval of the project. If
however, the implementation of the Core Actions fails to achieve the required Countywide
reduction of 40,000 vehicle trips per day as expected, these Recommended, Discretionary and
Regional actions may become mandatory, and may have to be included in the Development Code
at a later time.
CONCLUSION
The proposed amendment to Development Code Section 19.20.030, will allow the City to adopt
the State Mandated TCM Core Actions by December 31, 1993. The TCM measures
implemented by the amendment will help reduce vehicle trips, reducing air pollutants and
improving air quality. The amendment is consistent with General Plan Goals and
Implementation measures.

19.20.030 PROPOSED AMENDMENT
26. TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURES (TCM)
The purpose of this section is to reduce vehicle trips thereby reducing air pollutants and
improving air quality, to comply with State Law, and to promote an improved quality of
life. All new development is subject to the following Transportation Control Measures:
A. Bicycle parking facilities or secured bicycle lockers shall be provided for all new
non-residential developments and multi-family(of 10 or more units)developments
when discretionary review is required. Parking racks or secured lockers shall be
provided at a rate of 1 per 30 parking spaces with a minimum of a three-bike
rack.
B. All new non-residential developments, meeting CMP thresholds of 250 or more
peak hour trips, shall provide a minimum of one shower for persons bicycling or
walking to work. The shower shall be made so as to be accessible to both men
and women.
C. On-site pedestrian walkways and bicycle facilities shall be provided connecting
each building in a development to public streets for all new non-residential and
multi-family (of 10 or more units).
D. Passenger loading areas, suitable to the proposed land use shall be provided for
all new non-residential and multi-family (of 10 or more units) developments (of
100 or more parking spaces). The loading areas shall be placed in locations close
to building entrances but so as not to interfere with vehicle circulation.
E. Preferred parking facilities shall be provided for vanpools at a rate of 1 van
parking space per 100 standard parking spaces for all new non-residential
development. A mimimum of one such space shall be required. A vertical
i
clearance of no less than 9 feet shall be provided.
F. Transit improvements such as bus pullouts, bus pads, and bus shelters shall be
provided for new residential and non-residential development along existing or
planned transit routes. The need for and nature of those improvements shall be
defined in cooperation with Omnitrans.
lin
G. New non-residential developments exceeding the following thresholds may be
required to designate on-site parking areas to be used by commuters as park-and
ride lots or contribute exaction fees to develop off-site park-and-ride lots:
Retail 250,000 Square Feet GFA
Industrial 325,000 Square Feet GFA
Office 125,000 Square Feet GFA
The determination of whether an on-site park-and-ride facility or contribution of
exaction fees is required will be based upon a Traffic Impact Analysis Report
(TIA Report), prepared by a qualified traffic engineer in a manner consistent with
the Congestion Management Program (CMP) for San Bernardino County.
H. Parking space requirements for new non-residential development shall be reduced
when linked to other actions that reduce trips to account for increased ridesharing
and other modes of transportation. Analysis shall be provided estimating the trip
reductions. The City Traffic Engineer shall review the analysis and make a
recommendation to the Planning Division on the number of parking spaces that
may be eliminated.
1. A telecommuting center or contributions toward such a center shall be required
for all new residential developments of 500 or more units.
J. On-site video conferencing facilities shall be provided for all office park
developments with 1000 or more employees.

RECOMMENDED, NOT REQUIRED, ACTIONS
DESCRIMON:
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 RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
CATEGORY
Design Standards 7. Designate on-site parking areas to be used by commuters as park-and-ride lots or contribute
for Development exaction fee to develop off-site park-and-ride lots.
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.
Land Use Patterns I. Increase residential densities around transit stations. (Suggested level of Implementation:
Densities of 10 DU/Acres 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.

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
to implement measures from this list and would receive credit for implementation accordingly.
ACTION REGIONAL ACTIONS
CATEGORY
Employer-Based 1. Require submission of trip reduction plans for employers of less than 100 employees or
Rldesham multi-tenant work sites.
Programs 2. Require provision of a centrally-located commuter information area that offers information
on available transportation alternatives, route schedules and maps, available employee
incentives, and rideshare promotional material for employers of less than 100 employees.
3. Require implementation of a home-based telecommuting program for employers of less than
100 employees.
4. Require implementation of alternative work weeks schedules for employers with less than
100 employees.
Market Incentives 1. Require parking lot fees to be structured based on vehicle occupancy.
2. Restructure vehicle registration based on emission/use of the vehicle.
3. Gasoline Taxes.
