Definition of actions
There are four types actions; Core, Recommended, Discretionary, and Regional Actions as
identified by the Technical Advisory Committee (TCM Staff), and the Policy Committee
(Elected Officials, under SANBAG leadership).
A. Core Actions need to be adopted by all jurisdictions in the South Coast Air Basin,
ie. the Valley and Mountain portions of the San Bernardino County. The core
program consist predominately of design standards for new development and are
considered the most efficient measures local governments can implement. These
measures are based on standard levels of implementation, such as requiring bicycle
parking facilities as a percentage of auto parking for new non-residential and multi
family (of 10 or more units) development or remodel.
B. Recommended, Not Required Actions are highly recommended for consideration by
all jurisdictions in the South Coast Air Basin. These actions are not needed to
achieve the subregional trip reductions 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 predominately of new facilities and land use pattern measures, such as the
installation or widening of sidewalks, where appropriate to safely accommodate
pedestrians.
C. Discretionary Actions are additional design standards, new facilities, and land use
pattern measures which may be implemented depending on local characteristics and
resources. These measures either require preexisting local conditions to be effective
or are to controversial to be uniformly applied to all jurisdictions. Examples are, the
requirement for shuttle services to and from transit facilities, and the requirement
for residential subdivisions to incorporate supportive daily services that are centrally
located and conveniently accessibly to pedestrians and bicyclist.
D. 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
employees or other sources would place significant administrative burdens on local
governments and, in some cases, may raise complex legal questions. Market
incentives generally require enabling legislation, and must be implemented region-
wide to be effective. Local jurisdictions may chose to implement measures from this
list and would receive credit for implementation accordingly. An example is, the
requirement of trip reduction plans for employees of less than 100 employees or
multi-tenants work sites.
Memorandum
DATE: October 20, 1993
FROM: Larry A. Mainez, Planning Technician
TO: Patrizia Materassi, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Proposed TCM Actions quantified for the period of 1987-Present, 19934994,
and 1994-1999.
The follow figures are estimates based on the assumption of growth activity prior to the
recession(1989-1990). During that period of growth,the City of Grand Terrace experienced
25,034 square feet of commercial, 107,059 square feet of industrial, 6,545 square feet of
institutional, and 89 units of residential construction activity. To simplify the quantification,
the proposed actions have been organized by core, recommended, discretionary, regional,
and additional actions.
FINDINGS
If development occurs at the projected growth rate prior to the recession, the potential
Vehicle Trip Reduction (VTR) the City can expect will be 407 a year, or 2,442 trips by 1999
(407 vtr x 6 years). In terms of projects approved after 1987 to present, and inventory
revealed that the City has reduced 230 VTR (refer to the attached chart "Total Trip
Reduction Actions 1987-Present")..
