1 SB 375: California s Grand Experiment in Regional and Intergovernmental Planning American Planning Association April 16, 2012

2 Background on California Climate Legislation Pre-AB32 legislation State GHG inventory and forecast (1988) Pavley clean car legislation (2002) Assembly Bill 32 The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 Senate Bill 375 The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008

3 California s Assembly Bill 32: The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 Established the first economy-wide climate change program in the United States Set statewide GHG emissions limit for 2020, equal to 1990 levels Called for ARB to develop a comprehensive framework to achieve the limit by 2020

4 California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375) Requires integrated regional planning Regional emission reduction targets (2020 & 2035) ARB established targets in 2010, per capita reduction Regional planning to meet targets A sustainable communities strategy (SCS) adopted as part of the region s transportation plan (RTP) Plan implementation and incentives Streamlined environmental review for later projects that are consistent with the regional SCS

5 SB375: MPOs Do The Planning Regional agencies are in charge of developing and adopting the SCS SCS development involves testing of alternative scenarios to meet targets Process requires significant public outreach and public engagement San Diego, Southern California and Sacramento regions have completed an SCS San Francisco Bay Area, Tahoe and butte regions currently development draft RTPs/SCSs

23 Paying for the Plan Based on current and reasonably available funding sources $213.8 billion in total revenues phased through 2050 (in year of expenditure) Major Revenue Sources/ Revenue Constrained Scenario State 28% Federal 17% Local 55% 23

24 2050 RTP/SCS Meets state greenhouse gas reduction targets Preserves more than half of our land as open space Accommodates housing to meet projected growth $214 billion in transportation investments planned Provides 156 miles of new trolley service including a new downtown trolley tunnel Doubles transit miles with increased frequencies $3.8 billion for regional and local bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs $4.4 billion annually in projected regional economic output Creates 35,600 jobs per year in the San Diego region 24

26 2 SCS Implementation

27 Community Level Analysis

28 Community Plan Level: Identify Sites Village designations occur at community plan level Mi Pueblo Pilot Village Housing Pathways to Knowledge Plazas Restaurant, Mercado, kiosks, and offices

29 Outcomes: Community Plans Implement GP and SB 375 Reduce GHG through land use and transportation planning Reduce GHG through sustainable buildings and practices Urban forestry GHG analysis in CEQA documents Vulnerability analysis Adaptation Public education role Local Government Partnership

30 Outcomes: Mobility Strategies Cars and trucks produce 46% of GHG emissions Transit/Land Use Coordination Multi-modal solutions Walkable communities Bicycle facilities Streets and freeways Transit and transit-orientation Parking management Transportation management Regional Collaboration Commitment to providing transportation infrastructure to support smart growth planning

31 Outcomes: Land Development Code Commercial/Mixed-Use zones Pedestrian-Oriented Design standards Parking reductions for mixeduse, transit proximity Tandem parking in some areas Bicycle parking & amenities Small lot and townhouse zones Landscape Standards Street trees required Turf limited Water conservation mandates Local Food - Community Gardens issues
