CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT NO. 93-13
REQUEST/LOCATION: 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.
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 of core, recommended, discretionary and regional actions for
inclusion in the TCM program. Core Actions, listed in Attachment C of Exhibit I, are required
to be adopted by all local agencies by December 31, 1993. Recommended, Not Required,
Actions are included as Attachment D of Exhibit I, Discretionary Actions are included as
Attachment E of Exhibit I, and Regional Actions are included as Attachment F of Exhibit I, and
must be considered for adoption.
I
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 and consider the Recommended and Discretionary actions
recommended by SANBAG (Attachment C of Exhibit I). This Development Code Amendment
will implement the Core Actions in compliance with this resolution.
On October 4, 1993, SANBAG published a revised set of TCM Core, Recommended,
Discretionary, and other actions. Staff received a copy of the revised items on November 12,
1993, and revised the proposed ordinance accordingly. The revised Core Actions differ from
those included in Resolution 93-398.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY: Development Code Amendment No. 93-13 is
consistent with the General Plan. General Plan Objective 6.4 encourages the accommodation
of alternative modes of transportation other than the private automobile. Items A, B, C, F, and
G in the amendment all encourage alternative modes (bicycle, pedestrian and bus). General Plan
Implementation Measure 6.22 requires the City to incorporate Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) objectives into the project review process using many of the measures
Development Code Amendment No. 93-13
( I)
Development Code Amendment No. 93-13
Mayor and Common Council Meeting December 6, 1993

proposed by SANBAG as TCM Core Actions. For example, these TDM objectives include such
items as bicycle storage facilities, which have been included as item A in the amendment,
passenger loading areas (item D), and preferential parking (item E).
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL 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, and is exempt per that
section.
KEY ISSUES: There are several key issues which have been identified as follows:
o Many of the Core Actions recommended by SANBAG did not contain thresholds
for implementation. The thresholds contained in the amendment were based upon
the thresholds established by the Congestion Management Plan for San Bernardino
County to determine those projects having a potential to significantly increase
vehicle trips, increasing air pollutants and reducing air quality.
o The Core Actions include the requirement of participation in the Countywide
Bicycle Plan. The City is actively participating in meeting this requirement.
i This requirement was not included in the proposed amendment since it is a
requirement of the City; the Development Code contains standards and
requirements for development, but not requirements the City places on itself. For
this reason, the adoption of the Core Action has been included in the Ordinance
approving the Development Code Amendment, but has not been included in the
amendment.
O The amendment does not include any of the Recommended, Discretionary, or
Regional Actions. Many of these actions are applicable on a case-by-case basis,
but are not applicable to all projects. In cases where such actions are
appropriate, the project threshold would trigger a Traffic Impact Analysis MA)
Report, pursuant to the requirements to 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. For this
reason, staff is not recommending inclusion of any of the Recommended,
Discretionary, or Regional Actions in the amendment. However, if the
implementation of the Core Actions on a countywide basis fails to achieve the
required reduction of 40,000 vehicles per day, these action may become
mandatory, and may have to be included in the Development Code at a later time.
Development Code Amendment No. 93-13
Mayor and Common Council Meeting December 6, 1993
Page 3
O The revised set of TCM Core, Recommended, Discretionary, and other actions
included changes to items B, E, and G. The previous Core Actions did not
specify a threshold for the requirement of shower facilities. The new Core
Actions (No. 3, Attachment C) specified a threshold of 250 or more peak hour
trips. The previous Core Actions required van parking spaces at a rate of 1 van
space for every 30 parking spaces, whereas the revised Core Actions reduced this
requirement to 1 van space for every 100 spaces (No. 6, Attachment Q. The
previous Core Actions included park and ride facilites, but the new actions made
this a Recommended Action rather than a required Core Action. Item G was
revised to make the determination of the requirement of Park and Ride facilities
on the basis of a Traffic Impact Analysis MA) Report, rather than making it
mandatory.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL: The Mayor and
Common Council May:
1. Approve Development Code Amendment No. 93-13 as proposed by staff; or
2. Continue the amendment and direct staff to make any changes to the amendment
the Mayor and Council deems necessary.
I
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission reviewed
the proposed amendment at the November 16, 1993 Planning Commission Meeting. The
Planning Commission recommended that the Mayor and Common Council approve the
Development Code Amendment, but wanted to express their concern over the timing of the
TCM's. They felt that the TCM's will place additional costs on new development in particularly
austere economic times, and could discourage many of the activities critical to economic growth.
Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the Core Actions only.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Mayor and Common council adopt the
ordinance (Exhibit II) which amends Sections 19.20.030 of the Development Code based on the
Findings of Fact (Attachment "A" of Exhibit I - Planning Commission Staff Report).

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 ENVIRONPMENTAL 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.
1
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
I 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
1 implement the Core Actions in compliance with this resolution.
i 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
�1
Development Code Amendment No.93-13
Agenda Item # 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.
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
I threshold for a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Report, pursuant to the requirements of
the CMP. A project TIA would identify the need for those measures which would then be
1 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.
i
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.

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.

REGIONAL ACTIONS
DF_SCREMON:
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 subre gion, 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. Ux2d jurisdictions may choose
to implement measures from this list and would receive credit for implementation accordingly.
