We will be using the ST for the land use component of our analysis. For technical issue, SCAG should be the main point of contact. Primary Data Needs An understanding of eisting and future land use plans (using development types ) Ensure that the background data is up-to-date Housing and employment control totals Develop GHG calculations in the monitoring tool. 5.

10/11/2010 MOST SALIENT POINTS OF STUDIES Transportation Measures Relieve congestion and reduce traffic by adding needed capacity and deploying TSM/TDM to make full use of freeway, roadway, rail and transit systems. Undertake improvements to freeway interchanges and arterial highways that are feeders to or parallel freeways. Consider HOV direct connectors (carpool-to-carpool lanes) at major freeway interchanges. A Goods Movement Network, consisting of a system of intersections and connecting arterials in the Gateway Cities subregion, should be given planning and funding priority by SCAG. MOST SALIENT POINTS OF STUDIES (cont.) Participate in bus restructuring and smart shuttles studies to support a more efficient and integrated public transit system. Reconfigure the RTP to prioritize infrastructure improvements in the industrial core as opposed to spread out development. Provide a comprehensive bicycle & pedestrian network with subregional connectivity. Implement additional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) improvements, such as provision of real time traffic information and traffic signal synchronization, in a coordinated fashion (ITS Master Plan) throughout the subregion. 3

10/11/2010 MOST SALIENT POINTS OF STUDIES (cont.) Support a separate freight movement corridor along nonfreeway alignments using minimally or non-polluting transportation technologies. Numerous GHG reduction measures contained in I-710 Corridor studies (within purview of AB 32 but not SB 375) Re-establish Port Ride Share Program. Development of the OrangeLine high-speed transportation system could accommodate population and employment growth within the corridor while reducing traffic and air quality impacts. MOST SALIENT POINTS OF STUDIES (cont.) Land Use and Housing Measures Preserve eisting parks, open spaces and natural areas. Regulatory barriers limit the supply of affordable housing and increase the cost of housing (up to 35% of new housing cost can be attributed to regulation) Provide rewards/incentives for communities that produce housing through regulatory reform. Housing is the lynchpin of smart growth and smart investment. Anticipated State initiatives include: Changes to General Plan law Elimination of RHNA as we know it today. 4

10/11/2010 MOST SALIENT POINTS OF STUDIES (cont.) Eliminate, to etent possible, the back and forth on Housing Element approval. Provide tools, including inventory of 8-million parcels. Identify a reliable permanent funding source for low and very low income housing. Establish a new definition of local housing obligation: Take care of our own Use a 20-year planning horizon. Plan for housing of natural increase. Plan for housing of the local workforce. Projected congestion cannot be reduced unless we alter land use patterns. MOST SALIENT POINTS OF STUDIES (cont.) Intensified land use is part of the State s mobility strategy and future investment will revolve around such land use. Strategies for promoting economic development and affordable housing in the Gateway Cities subregion include: Transit-oriented development to relieve transportation pressures Brownfield development as a source of land for economic development and new housing. Programs to encourage employers to locate/epand in the subregion to address jobs/housing balance and reduce VMT. Promote infill development for housing. As large-scale manufacturing becomes less relevant to local economies, the conversion of post-industrial land becomes a key opportunity for the built-out cities of the subregion. 5

10/11/2010 Addressing the Requirements of SB 375 at the Subregional Level December 2009 Web-based survey of sustainability (GHG reduction) measures already initiated by COG member cities Demonstrated a strong institutional capacity in the gateway cities for strategies that are the foundation for complying with SB 375 and SCS requirements Current and planned policies and improvements could achieve +15% of hypothetical subregional target of 4% GHG reduction by 2020 In order to meet hypothetical target, 80% of COG members would need to adopt various land use and transportation policies Recommended that COG assume responsibility for developing subregional SCS and RHNA as allowed by SB 375 GATEWAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS SUMMARY OF VMT/GHG REDUCTION MEASURES INITIATED BY MEMBER CITIES MEASURE INITIATED NUMBER OF CITIES Climate Action Plan/Green Element to General Plan 7 Transportation Demand Management 25 Park & Ride/Transit Access Improvements 9 Parking Strategies 3 Bicycle/Pedestrian Improvements 18 Traffic Signal Synchronization/Intelligent Transportation 17 Systems Sustainable land use Planning 23 Implementation of SCAG Measures/Concepts 6 6
