  1. Development of the Sustainable Communities Strategy for San Bernardino County Plans and Programs Committee December 15, 2010

  2. What are we trying to do? • Build the transportation/land use system in a way that (sample list, not in priority order): • Promotes economic development • Maximizes mobility choices for residents and workers • Is adaptable to future trends: (aging of the population, HH size, job distributions, increased energy costs, etc.) • Promotes transportation efficiency • Benefits the environment • Build a strategy that is physically, financially, and politically feasible • In the process, satisfy SCS, GHG and other requirements or expectations

  3. Challenges • Transportation/land use “chicken-egg” dilemma • Can’t justify higher intensity land use until transit system in place • Can’t justify transit system until land use commitments exist • Higher intensity land use may not be warranted today by land values/economics • Public concern over apartment/condo/commercial projects in proximity to neighborhoods • Cost/complexity/risk of mixed-use development – difficulty of financing • Challenges/risks of redevelopment • Need to think long term in a “short term” world

  4. Process Overview Goal: Draft SCS submittal to SCAG by mid-April • Identify transportation and land use strategies • Apply “development templates”, in conjunction with jurisdictions • To transit station areas • To other non-transit locations • Enhance growth distribution model • Create growth distribution alternative(s) • 2020 for GHG (Alt 2), also 2035 for SCS • Analysis of 2020 VMT and GHG impacts

  5. LRTP Transit Network

  6. Station Area Development Example • Foothill/5th BRT line • Station located at Sterling/5th intersection in Highland • Targeting ¼ and ½ mile buffer around station • Adjacent to existing residential and SBIA

  7. BRT Station with Buffers General Plan What Not to Build Existing Condition “Campus Style” Office Park Low Density Industrial

  8. Candidate Land Use Templates(Based on SCAG development types) • No extreme densities • Blends with surroundings • 10 selected out of 22 possible

  9. Town Residential High Mix • 32 housing units per gross acre • 37 jobs per gross acre

  10. Neighborhood Residential High Mix • 12 housing units per gross acre • 11 jobs per gross acre

  11. Town Employment High Mix • 5.6 housing units per gross acre • 115 jobs per gross acre

  12. Neighborhood Employment High Mix • 2.6 housing units per gross acre • 57 jobs per gross acre

  13. Suburban Employment High Mix • 0.7 housing units per gross acre • 27 jobs per gross acre

  14. City Residential Low Mix • 42 housing units per gross acre • 1.6 jobs per gross acre

  15. Town Residential Low Mix • 21 housing units per gross acre • 1.0 jobs per gross acre

  16. Town Employment Low Mix • 0 housing units per gross acre • 125 jobs per gross acre

  17. Neighborhood Retail Low Mix • 0 housing units per gross acre • 22 jobs per gross acre

  18. Neighborhood Office Low Mix • 0 housing units per gross acre • 38 jobs per gross acre

  19. Proposed Land Use What Not to Build “Campus Style” Office Park Neighborhood Residential High Mix Low Density Industrial Neighborhood Office Low Mix

  20. Sample Dot Map Showing Growth to 2030

  21. Jurisdiction Input in Dec/Jan • SANBAG provides first cut assignment of development templates • Transit station areas • Non-transit areas • Could include adjustment of BRT station locations • Meet with each jurisdiction to review/modify • Apply city input to growth distribution model • As an alternative, city can provide direct zone-level input (i.e. not use growth distribution model)

  22. Growth Distribution Alternative(s) • Retain control totals at city level • Retain control totals at subarea level and allow city totals to float • Retain control totals at county level and allow subarea and city totals to float

  23. Sample Issues • Non-land use strategies (e.g. signal coord., ped improvements, etc.) • Land use strategies for areas not served by premium transit (Valley and Mountain/Desert) • Chicken-egg development issue • Involvement of private sector • Relationship to other local jurisdiction activities
