THE AIR QUALITY ELEMENT FOR THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE I. PURPOSE Need for an A QWity Element Southern Califamia experiences air pollution. Almost every day, smog stretches from the beach cities In Osage and Los Angeles Counties to the malaod valleys of Riverside and San Bernardino Cowes The brown haze affects the health and scenic views of the approximately 14 million people who live within the 13,350 square mile region. This region is known as the South Coast Air Quality Management Distnd (SCAQMD) and Includes the City of Grand Terrace. The air quality in the San Bernardino County region, which includes the City of Grand Terrace, results from a unique combination of factors, air flow patterns and emission sources, both local and those located throughout the region San Bernardino County exceeds state and federal air quaky standards for Ozone (03), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter (PM-10). Other air pollutants include sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, and kad. (see Glossary of Terms) are acute during summer months when aashore wind patterns transport pollutants from the western portion of the South Coast Ace Basin (SCAB) combining with local sources (see Figure 1) San Bernardino County records violations of air quality standards In the summer months relative to the rest of the air basm (see Table 1). Health Air pollutants pose health problems for the general Population, especially young children that are very active outdoors, the elderly, and the sick. Areas where these people congregate are considered sensitive receptors. Examples of sensitive receptors include schools, hospitals, convalescent homes, and nursing homes Many public and private studies have been conducted to understand the relationship between air pollution and human health. These studies include the evduation of short -am exposures to heavy conomeradons of pollutants as well as long -tam exposures to lower doses of pollutants. The acute symptoms most often reported in conjunction with air pollution include irritation of the eyes and throat, headache, fatigue, tightness in the chest or chest pain, wheezing and cough. The occurrence of a particular symptom or group of 1-1 •3- symptoms will depend on the mix of pollutants, the level of exposure and individual sensitivity of the particular individual Traditionally, people most likely to be affected by ozone have been labeled "sensitives "The elderly and the young are considered especially sensitive to ozone. But so are rugged athletes. In addition, one or more common of the following conditions can make someone smog sensitive: pre-existing wry disease such as asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, or allergies; ' heavy exercise during ozone exposure, * exercise in high temperature and humidity during smog exposure; ' predisposition to pulmonary infection; ' pre-existing disease or nutritional deficiency, ' prior infection or immunological problem, * prior exposure to pollutant or respiratory irritant, * heredity For a more detailed loot at the health effects of various kinds of air pollution, see Appendix A, "Air Pollution Sources, Health Effects, and Controls," prepared by the California Air Resources Board and Appendix B, "Health and Environmental Effects of Ground -Level Ozone," prepared by the United States Environmental Protectim Agency. Guide for Local Goveninient Over the years the South Coast Air Quality Management Distrid (SCAQMD) has adopted several Air Quality M=gement Plans (AQMP's), most recently in 1994 and in 1997 These AQMP's are required by the California Clean Air Act of 1988. The AQMP calls upon local governments to play an active role and assist govermental efforts m reducing emissions through the implementation of specific actions The proposed Air Quality Element, which will b000me part of the General Plan of the City of Grand Terrace, will act as a guide to the City in meeting its obligations to assist in impmving the regions air quality Relationslup of the Air Quality Element to the General Plan California Governmem Code Sections 65300 and 65302 regime every city and county to draw up and adopt "a comprehensive, long-term general plan fm the physical development of the community " Seven general plan elements are required by State law and may be adopted individually or as a single general plan. While air quaing is not a required element, Government Code Sermon 65303 authorizes cities and counties w adopt additional, optional general plan elements which are judged to be relevant to the communities needs. In the past, the 1989 and 1991 Air Quality Management Plans of the South Coast Management Distract called upon local goveimments to adopt air quality elements r -5- Figure No. 2 The South Coast Au Quality Management Distnct in the 1997 AQMP found: That state and federal baM-based ambient an quality standards for ozone, carbon monoxide„ nitrogen dioxide, and PM,o (fine particulate matter) are regularly and sigmficandy exceeded in the South Coast Au Basin (Basin). Recent Trends Over the past 30 years, ozone levels have been reduced by about half m the South Coast Air Basin and other criteria pollutant concentrations have significantly declined. The S02 and lead standards have been met in the SCAB; and for first time in 1992, the federal annual NO2 standard was not exceeded in the basin. Air quality in the region continues to improve Last year, El Nino toot part of the credit for 3 "Si�eS° r .7- T his year, 1998, a return to more "normal" weather patterns unfortunately brought more smog to the South Coast Air Basin this summer compared to last, but, the good news is that the long-term trend still points to an overall improvement in air quality Ozone is a good indicator of overall air pollution Figure 4 shows how ozone levels have declined in the South Coast Air Basin since 1976 m terms of the number of days exceeding the 1-hour federal ozone air quality standard .

As is the rest of the South Coast Air Basin, the trend m the San Bernardino County area has been for air pollution to decrease for the last few years (see Table 2 for Ozone Data and Table 3 for PM,o Data) The San Bernardino County portion of the South Coast Air Quality Management District is made up of both valley and mountain areas These have been divided into seven air monitoring areas, for which the SCAQMD annually summarizes the air quality As shown on Figure 7, Grand Terrace is split between the Central San Bernardino Valley air monitoring area (No 34) and the East San Bernardino Valley air monitoring area (No 35). In 1996 federal air quality standards were cmeeded on the average of 63 days for ozone in the Central San Bernardino Valley area In that same year the federal air quality standards were exceeded on the average of 65 days for ozone in the East San Bernardino Valley Area.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Air quality m Las Angeles County became so poor by the mud-1940's, that severe inversion patterns wow cause ozone concentrations that led to The County Board of Supervisors responded to thus problem through the creation of the nation's first Air Pollution Control District in 1946. The District a utmUy focused its efforts on the control of visible soot, smoke, and dust from industry. Not much was known at the time about the invisible components of air pollution. Tile following discussion summarizes current air quality planning and regulating efrts of federal, state and regional governing bodies. Federal The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), promulgated in 1970 and amended twice thereafter ('including the 1990 amendments), establishes the fiamework for modern air pollution control The CAA dbects the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish ambient air standards for mx pollutants ozone, carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, particulate' matter and sulphur dioxide The standards (National Ambient Air Quality Standards, or NAAQS) are divided into primary and secondary standards; the former are set to protect human health with an adequate margin of safety and the latter to protect environmental values such as plant and animal life. The CAA requires states to submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for areas that exceed the NAAQS (non-attainment)areas The SIP, which is reviewed and approved by the EPA, must demonstrate how the federal standards will be achieved. Failure to subnut a plan or secure approoal of the plan by the EPA could lead to denial of federal funding and permits for such dents as highway construction and sewage ti�ent plants In cases where the SDP is submitted but fails to demonstrate achievement of the standards, the EPA is directed to pmpare a Federal Implementation Plan. The CAA classifies the South Coast Air Basin as an eat<eme non -attainment area and states that the Basin must achieve federal air quality standards. In 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created new federal air quality standards for PMu and ozone, and proposed new requirements to reduce the regional haze that Impairs visibility. 1be PMu standards complement existing federal and state standards that target the frill range of"mhalable particulate matter (PM10) Efforts to characterize PMu and comply with the federal standards will further progress toward California's own PMio standards t` a { A ie ?rl ti r r.. i iAr� -13- eligible for federal transportation funding Local In 1991 a Regional Air Quality Plan was prepared by the County of San Bernardino and the fifteen cities within the San Bernardino County portion of the South Coast Air Basin to carry out the responsibilities for implementing the control measures designated for local government action in the 1999 South Coast Air Quality Management Plan. The Air Quality Element is based, in part, on this Regional Plan but also reflects the implementing measures of the 1994 AQMP, the 1997 AQMP and the Regional Tnmsportation Plan prepared by SCAG. In addition, the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) was formed in 1973 as a Council of Governments providing a forum for city and county elected officials to discuss mutual concerns SANBAG also serves, among other duties, as the County Transportation Commission and the Congestion Management Agency It also is involved in commuter services, voluntary ddeshare programs, Metrohnk, and the cleaner fuels corridor All of these activities relate, in some way, to the efforts of local governments to meet air quality goals IV AIR QUALITY ISSUES The Air Quality Element will address various issues which relate to improvmg regional and local air quality These issues have come about not only fermi the planning efforts at the Federal, State and regional level but also through the local planning activities related to updating the City's General Plan. The General Plan Task Force, made up of seven members of the community, made several recommendations to the City in the form of a Strategic Action Plan which will aid and guide the City in the update of the General Plan of the City of Grand Terrace. These recommendations included several areas which relate both diiady and indirectly to activities to improve the City's air quality. In addition, the Task Force adopted "Guiding Principles" for the City which also relate to efforts to improve air quality. Community Image The General Plan Taste Force of the City of Grand Terrace in its recommendations to improve the City's image called for the planting of trees " to beautify our major corridors " Tree Planting has been shown to be effective in combating air pollution From the City Vision "All who wish will be able to ride, walk or bicycle via green, blossoming and beautifully landscaped corridors to the town square in the center of town-." In addition, the Guiding Principles for the City of Grand Terrace call for citizens to "Have fun and enjoy the journey Celebrate nature, celebrate your heritage and accomplishments Bring beauty to the residents' eyes and pride to the heart." �J 11 `v { e -15- Response: This issue is addressed in Objective 5 under "Auto Use," Objective 9 under "Transit System and Senices," and Objective 10 under "Non -Motorized means of Transportation " Blue Mountain The Task Force had several recommendation in regards to pr+esaving and protecting the natural beauty of Blue Mommin, recognising it as a strong visual mW for the City of Grand Terrace. Activities which promote improvement in local air quality would also support preserving the views and beauty of Blue Mountain. In addition, the Guiding Principles call for the City residents to "Make responsible decisions based on fid= generations Conserve natural resources and protect all living systems " Response: All of the Objectives of the Air Quality Element will incrementally add to the improvement of air quality in the City of Grand Terrace Economic Development The Task Force made sevaal recommendation for economic development in the City of Grand Terrace These recommendations included promoting business development in the City and aiding in the expansion of local employment These activities would provide more t employment opportunities for local residents thereby helping to reduce vehicle miles traveled s by commuters going to wak and having a positive impact on the City's and region's air } quality The Guiding Prmciples call for the City's citizens to `Be proud of yourself, transcend. Strive for sustamable economic growth and development of a great City identity " Response: This issue has been addressed in Objectives 13 and 15 umder "band Use and Air Quality " Industrial Area The Task Force made several recommendation for economic development in the City of Grand Terrace. These recommendations included promoting busmess development in the City and aiding in the expanion of local employment These activities would provide more employment opportunities for local residents thereby helping to reduce vehicle miles traveled by commuters going to work and having a positive impact on the City's and region's air quahty Response: This issue as been addressed in Objectives 13 and 15 under "Land Use and Air Quality-" A tf� -17- The General Plan Task Force in adopting the "Guiding Pnnciples" recognized the role that vanous levels of goverment play in maintaining the quality of life in the community The Pnnciples call for `Be honest. Maintain open and trusting goverment Educate the community " Response: The Objectives of the Au Quality Element have called for the implementation of all of the control measures stipulated for local goverment by the Air Quality Management Plan prepared by the South Coat Air Quality Management Distract and the Regional Transportation Plan prepared by Souther California Association of Governments. AB 2766 The air districts in the State of California annually fund alternative fuel vehicles and other transportation -related programs through a legislative program which uses a portion of vehicle license fees paid by state car owners Commonly referred to as "AB 2766 Funds," these monies are distributed to the local air distracts by the State Department of Motor Vehicles based on the number of vehicles in the area. Each air distract has its own established funding cycle and guidelmes for accepting project proposals On Apnl 11,1997, the Governing Hoard of the South Coast Air Quality Management District approved., in concept, a two-year, S26 million FY 1997-99 AB 2766 Discretionary Fund Work Program, including a S6 5 million Local Government Subvention Fund Match Program Through a simplified application process, this program provides a 25% match to cities and counties within the South Coast Air Quality Management District's jurisdiction that receive AB 2766 City Subvention Funds. Mie program is designed to encourage cities and counties to implement projects which have a high potential for reducing motor vehicle emissions Response: AB 2766 funds will be aced to support the Implementation Actions of Objectives 1 and 2 of the Element. These Objectives will provide for local air quality education programs and community participation in reducing air pollution. Clear Cities Clean Cities is a locally -based government/industry partnership, coordinated by the U S Department of Energy to expand the use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel Unlike traditional "top -down" federal programs, Clean Cities uses a "grass roots" approach to develop the alterative fuels ' ma ket, relying on locally based government/mdustry partnerships coordinated by the Department of Energy to expand the use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel Local decision makers from both the public and private sectors work as volunteer partners to create and carry out an effective implementation plan for their cities with the ultimate goal of creating sustainable, nationwide alternative fuels market. Response: This issue was addressed in Objective 4 under "Governmental Organizations, to � .19- The City will work with the Civic Groups to educate and incorporate AQW programs and Air Quality Element implementing actions into local business activities Such activities could include the holding of workshops to encourage local businesses to comply with various programs to help reduce air pollution 2.

Objective: 7 Support the reduction in vehicle emissions at the local level Implementing Actions: -25- Objective: 9 Support the expansion of transit services within the City of Grand Terrace and in the region Implementing Actions: 1 The City will lobby regional transportation agencies to expand regional transit systems between the City of Grand Terrace and employment centers in the region. The City will work with such agencies as SANBAG, Metrolink and T Omni Trans to both identify regional employment centers and to provide transit services to these employment centers and the City of Grand Terrace 2 Recogmnng the need for public transportation to serve youth and senior ciUens, the City will cooperate and participate in efforts to expand bus, rail, and other forms of transit in the region to serve the City of Grand Terrace. This may include wadnng with Metrohnk and Omm Trans to improve regional commuter services and expand regional mass transit routes 3. The City will carry out the implementation of City Ordinance No 147, the Trip Redaction Ordinance, related to transit services. These measures will include providing transit improvements such as bus pullouts, bus pads, and bus shelters, and also seeking a bus route expansion with the City to increase the opportunity to commute by bus 4 The City will study and consider the development of park and ride facilities to encourage the use of public transit as called out by Ordinance No 147 5 The City will lobby for the construction of a Metrolink-rail station within or in proximity to the City of Grand Terrace. 6 The City will seek the development of a local shuttle to serve the commercial development as called for Ordinance No. 147 7. The City will work with the Southern California Economic Partnership in the development of an advanced shuttle transit system. This "advanced shuttle transit system" is a term to describe a new system of transit providing access within and between major centers of commerce, transportation and employment throughout the region feeding to rail and bus systems. The transit services may range from shared ride taxis to 12-passenger shuttles NON -MOTORIZED MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION Objective: 10 Provide safe bwXk mid pedestnam pathways andfacilities to encourage non. motonzed tnps 4 -2%- 4 The City will consider joining the Clean Cities program in order to participate in the latest most innovative approaches to utilizing alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels 5 The City will support the "Inland Empire's Clean Fuels Corridor" including the activities to provide alternative fuels such as a)lrquefned natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and electric vehicle (EV) chargmg -- stations C TOPIC THREE - LAND USE AND AIR QUALITY GOAL: To achieve a pattern of land use which can be efficiently served by a drversrfied/muhi-modal transportation system and land development projects which directly and mdrrectly generate the minimum feasible air pollutants Objective: 12 Manage growth by insuring the timely provision of infrastructure including transportation facilit:es to serve new development Implementing Actions: 1 The City will incorporate phasing policies and requirements in general plans and development plans to achieve the timely provision of infrastructure `— (Particularly transportation facilities) to serve development Such requirements would be imposed as part of the entitlement review process for new development.

Patriva Materassi Community and Economic Development Director City of Grand Terrace PM X j1 c \wp6K \planning\john\aie1e9815-= Date 22795 Barton Road - Grand Terrace, California 92313-5295 - (909) 824-6621 1� kil 1 !• � ( (4 / Y I Wues- The City's General Pin Task Force, made up of seven members of the community, made several recommendations to the City in the form of a Strategic Action Plan witch will aide and guide the City In the update of the General Plan These recommendations Include several areas which relate both directly and indirectly to activities to Improve the City's air quality. The following issues have been addressed in the Air Qcality Element: 1. Commanhy Image - The General Plan Task Force of the City of Grand Terrace in its recommendatim to improve the City's Image called for the planting of trees "to beautify our major corridors." Tree planting has beta shown to be effective in combating air pollutloo. 2. Land Use - Tke General Plan Task Force In its recommendations of the Strategic Action Plan recognized the seed to emphasize a "village" atmosphere along Barton Road and to encourage pedestrian- shiF The Task Force also recommended that "mixed uses" be Incorporated Into the Barton Road Specific Plan. These land use recommendations will allow a more efficient use of public facilities, discourage the use of polluting modes of transportation, and promote a more livable community. 3. Tramportatton-The General Plan Task Force recommended In the Strategic Action Plan that the City of Grand Terrace continue to pursue a local shuttle and other alternative transportatiou modes such as bike lanes In and to the downtown area. The Task Force found that alternative transportation modes would reduce the number of vehicles on the road; keep traffic at it ore reasonable level, and encourage pedestrian uses —all activities which would help to improve local air quality. The City is act self-sufficient in regards to public transportation The City needs transit fecilitles to serve the youth and senior citizens of the community. Public transportation besides serving the youh and seniors will both reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled thereby helping to improve the City's air quality Additionally, If the recommendations of the North -South Corridor Study, as discussed In the Circulation Element of the General Plan, are ever adopted, the City should insure that the project sponsors provide mitigation to potential traffic impacts to City streets. Such mitigation measures will maintain desired LOS on City streets thereby preventing congestion and avoiding unnecessary adverse impacts to air quality. 4. Blue Mountaw - The Task Force had several recommendation in regards to preserving and protecting the natural beauty of Blue Mountain, recognizing it as a strong visual Image for the City of Grand Terrace. Activities which promote improvement in local air quality would also support preserving the views and beauty of Blue Mountain, S.

Soalbem CeWonde Econon k Pame ship - In 1994, the Sonthen Caifornis Association of Governments and the Somb Coast Air Quality Management District created the Southern California Economic Partnership (the Partnership} The Partnerships is a non-profit organization and was established with the specific mission of developag plans to implement advanced transportation technologies throughout the region. To aid Southern Califoraa Cities and counties in advanced techaolm deployment, The Partnership has developed a `Model City Starter Kit" for each of the technologies~ These books Provide goaB and objeedvn, implementation worksheets, :model poide% model resolutions, Wad other suggested program 1s develop advanced transportation tedmokill s. Statement of Goals To address the above list of euues, the Air Quality Element establishes the following goals: 1. To reduce emissions at the local level by providing leadership, wdb the guidance from regional and subregional agacks, to the business owners and residents of the City of Grand Terrace on air quality improvement efforts. 2. To support the development of a diverse multi -modal and ettrciestly operated ground transportation system what generates the minimum feasible poitants. 3. To achieve a pattern of bud an which can be effectively served by a Cn9nifled/multi-modal transportation system and had development projects which direedy and indirectly generate the minimum feasible air ponutaats. 4. To salt the minimum practicable emissions from the constrncbm and operation of roads and buildings. S. To reduce emnsioas through reduced energy consumption 9.

A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e g the project falls outside a fault rupture zone) A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards (e g the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis) 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on. site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and constriction as well as operational impacts 3) "Potential Significant Impact" is appropnate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant If there are one or more "Potential Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, and EIR is required. 4) "Potential Significant Unless Mitigated Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potential Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced) 5) Earlier Anal be used Y� may where, pursuant to the tiering, program EiR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.

Grand Terrace is a city of 13,247 people (Exhibit 1) located at 1,065 feet in the East San Bernardino Valley area Founded in 1978, the community is the eighth smallest among the 48 cities of the Inland Empire Most of the town's 3 6 square miles has been developed, with the exception of view lots on rugged residential land facing Reche Canyon and Blue Mountam, and about 40 aces of commercial/industnal property adjacent to the I-215/Route 91 freeway This is the heavily traveled route connecting the Cities of San Bernardino and Riverside, the largest communities and seats of their respective counties The topography of Grand Terrace lodes most of the city from freeway travelers with the exception of this commercial property Exhibit 1.-20 Smallest Cities Inland Empire, January ••: City 1990 1998 Change % Change 1 Indian Wells 2,647 3,265 618 23 3% 2 Needles 5,191 5,801 610 11 8% Big Bear Lake 5,351 6,049 698 13 0% 4 Cahmesa 4,646 7,561 2,915 62 7% 5 Beaumont 9,685 10,652 977 101% 6 Rancho Muage 9,778 11,043 1,265 12 9% 7 Canyon Lake 7,937 11,652 3,715 46 8% 9 Adelanto 6,791 14,240 7,449 109 7% 10 29 Palms 11,821 14,848 3,027 25 6% 11 Desert Hot Spr 11,668 15,323 3,655 313% 12 Yucca Valley 1 13,701 18,710 5,009 36 6% 13 LaQumta 11,215 20,444 9,229 823% 14 Blythe 8,448 21,030 12,582 148 9% 15 Loma Linda 18,470 21,357 2,887 15 60A 16 Coachella 16,896 21,868 4,972 29 4% 17 Barstow 21,472 22,641 1,169 5 4% 18 San Jacinto 16,210 24,845 8,635 53 3% 19 Banning 20,572 24,898 4,326 210% 20 Norco 23,302 25,485 2,183 9 4% Source CA Department of Finance, E-5 Reports, 1990-1998 The prosperity of Grand Terrace, and its citizens, is governed by several location facts It is an Inland Empire city and thus subject to the economic forces impacting this rapidly growing re- gion The commumty is located in the east portion of the Inland Empire, placing it about a dec- ade away from feeling the strongest of the growth impulses affecting the area Because the town is mid -way between San Bernardino and Riverside, it is well situated for people and firms want- ing to be close to both of these major centers of activity However, the topography of Grand Terrace introduces important difficulties Most of the com- munity sits high above the freeway, making it invisible and somewhat unknown to freeway trav- elers The exception is its largely undeveloped commercial property Here, however, access is a problem because of the place of off -ramps, and the location of the Gage Canal and the tracks of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads Economics & Politics Inc 4 15 6% 03%M 2 4% 08% 04% 04% 04°k 03% 00% 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Source CA Department of Finance E-5 Reports Income.

The picture of Grand Terrace that emerges from the data is that of a small commu- nity with prosperous families largely commuting to white collar jobs Property values in the community are rising, and the city has the opportunity to add high priced executive homes However, lack of space will limit the amount of future population growth Given the city's rela- tively high incomes, the fact that it has a low per capita retail sales level indicates that significant retail sales dollars are escaping the community This inhibits the ability of the city to provide services to it citizens Grand Terrace's main opportunity to impact this mix of economic characteristics lies in how the remaining property in the city is developed, and how the future uses of its idle commer- ciaUlndustrial property along the I-215/Route 91 freeway relates to its existing Barton Road re- tail corridor A. Commuter Economy. The dependence on commuting of city families and the Grand Terrace economy exists for two reasons 1 The skills of city workers match poorly with the blue collar and retail/consumer service jobs available in the community 2 Even if there was a good match, there are approximately 6,846 workers living in the city but only 2,370 city jobs, a difference of 4,478 or 65 4% The city has some excellent idle commercial/industrial property that could positively impact these gaps, depending on how It Is developed However, it should be understood that this prop- erty is insufficient to provide enough new employment to substantially eliminate them As a re- sult, the city economy is likely to be dependent upon the health of the Inland Empire economy over the long haul For this reason, It is important that city policy makers understand how the region is evolving, and maintain a voice in those organizations that are impacting the nature of the larger area's development B. Residential Property Values. One measure of the health of a city economy is the value of its residential real estate In Grand Terrace, values peaked in 1990 before the Southern California recession at a median of $148,000 At the low, the median fell to $109,500 in early 1997 Since that time, a healthier economy has seen home prices increase back to S125,000 They are thus $23,000 below the peak but $15,500 above the trough In the next few years, increased demand for Inland Empire homes will likely drive city prices back to 1990 levels This is the case as city property owners should receive a premium because of the city's safe en-, Ironment and lugh qual- ity of life Meanwhile, much of the remaining residential land in Grand Terrace lies in rugged, view lot ar- eas These provide a substantial opportunity for the development of high priced executive housing This type of development could add positively to the city's total valuation, enhance its image and meet a general regional need for upscale homes Note a corollary to the relaftwly built -out status of Grand Terrace's residential areas is the fact that the community's population is unlikely to grow significantly in the years to come Econonucs & Pohthcs, Inc 20 I Inland Empire As A State. In the next decade, the fastest growing area of the U S will be the Inland Empire (Exhibit 31) This area is expected to add 928,000 people or 32 4% to reach 3 6 million (32 4%) by 2005 This represents more people, and a faster growth rate, than such well known growth spots as Los Angeles, Atlanta, or Phoenix In 1996, Exhibit 32 shows that the area's $57 4 billion total personal income exceeded that of 18 Mates, starting with Mississippi ($47 6 billion) By 2005, the U S Commerce Department fore- casts that its income will reach $78 2 billion (in 1995 purchasing power), higher than 24 of to- day's states Abbam Lauiaa IE 2005 Kw&wky 5 Cambn oregm oil , = Iowa Kansas IE 1M Afsassippi Adu s "m Abb6 raitad 2AM t, Ta W tmom. Yr 1M Sm n=LLS D"wtmm dOmmard Looking farther ahead, the California Department of Finance forecasts that from 1998-2010, the Inland Empire will add 15 million people, or an average of 128,000 people per year As a result, its 2010 population will reach 4,600,000 In 12-years, the population is thus expected to climb by 59 2% What these data mean is that for the next several years, Grand Terrace will sit in the middle of what is expected to be one of the fastest growing economies in the country, both from the stand- point of people and economic activity Why The Inland Empire's Numbers Are Strong. Economists and demographers have made these powerful forecasts based upon their understanding of the way in which geography and eco- nomic behavior interact in Southern California Since World War II, the Southland has grown outward from downtown Los Angeles At various times, this has made places like the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley and Orange County metaphors for West Coast growth Inevitably, once the coastal counties became congested, and their land and space costs went up, that mantle would move eastward into the Inland Empire This began to occur in the late 1970s as growth moved into the region along the I-10 and Route 60 freeways from L A County, and up Route 91 from Orange County The growth pattern was blunted but not stopped by the economic dislocations accompanying the end of the Cold War Today, it is again underway in earnest Cheap Dirt. At its core, the development of the Inland Empire is occurring because it is the last region of Southern California to have large amounts of undeveloped land along developed trans- portation corridors This available "dirt" creates a powerful location advantage for both residen- £aonoancs & Poiltics, Inc 22 r,� 1 s�. •�h J q, Market Industrial Market Commercial Sorrento Mesa, San Diego $0 72 West Los Angeles/Beverly Hills $2 30 South Bay, L A $0 59 Airport, OR CoJDowntown L A $2 00 Airport Area, Orange Co $0 54 University Citv, San Diego $2 00 San Fernando/Ventura Co $0 52 San Fernando V1y/Ventura Co $1 99 East San Diego County $0 52 Ontario Airport Area $1 75 No Orange County $0 43 South Bay, LA $1 70 San Gabriel Valley $0 43 No Orange County $1 62 E San Gabriel Valley $0 39 San Gabriel Valley, L A $1 59 Buena Pk -Downey Area $0 37 Montclair/Lipland/Chmo $1 55 Montclair/Upland/Chmo $0 32 West San Bernardino Co $1 55 Corona $0 31 _ Downtown, San Diego $1 45 West SB Co /Mira Loma $0 30 City of Riverside $1 45 Redlands/San Bdno /Fontana $0 30 South Bay, San Diego $1 35 Colton/Rialto $0 28 Fast County, Uptown, San Diego $1 15 Moreno Vly/Pems/Riverside $0 27 1 City of San Bernardino $1 10 Source Grubb & Ellis Labor Cost Savings Meanwhile, the influx of people Into the Inland Empire has created a sec- ond, less obvious but more powerful regional location advantage Area residents do not like the long commutes to jobs in Los Angeles or Orange Counties They will thus work for less to avoid them Exhibit 36 shows how much less 6 4% compared to Los Angeles County and 6 0% com- pared to Orange County Exhibit.- Labor Cost Savings.Employers LaborInland Empire vs. Major West Coast ••. 0 d a -1 6% d oa -6 40/6 0% s E w a -10 80i6 u -13 0% r d a San Francisco Alameda LA Orange Seattle Inland Empire Source U S Bureau of Labor Statism, Area Wagc Smvcys, 1996 Economics & Politics, Inc 24 As the leaders of Grand Terrace think about how the city's commercial/industrial land is likely to be used, they should be acutely aware of why there is an industrial bias in the development of the Inland Empire Not only does the area provide cheaper space and a less expensive labor force* it is also extraordinarily well situated geographically, and endowed by a rapidly improving logis- tics infrastructure Geographic Location Drives Industrial Growth. In the era of Just In Time inventory control, companies must be able to move their products to market in a hurry For that reason, the Inland Empire's extraordinary logistics infrastructure is a distinct lure for production and distribution firms The area's advantage starts with geography Most of the domestic shipments entering and leaving Southern California move by either truck or rail along the I-10 & Union Pacific corridor over Banrung Pass, or the I-215 Burlington Northern Santa Fe corridor over Cajon Pass Manu- facturing and distribution firms located in the Inland Empire are thus extraordinarily well situ- ated to take advantage of this geographic positioning Rail Drives Industrial Growth. Then, there is the Inland Empire's railroad system The Bur- lington Northern -Santa Fe Railroad built a major new intermodal yard in the City of San Bernardino in 1994 It is the most modern such facility in the United States and has the capacity to handle 400,000 containers per year Exhibit 36 shows how rapidly the number of containers lifted from trams to trucks at this facility has increased Producers and distributors are looking for space in the Inland Empire, in part, because they can quickly get to this facility and move their goods on to the nation's rail system By locating in the Inland Empire, they can avoid the time lost on congested Los Angeles or Orange County freeways Union Pacific -Southern Pacdc Railroad has a major switching yard In the region, and is currently deciding where In the area to locate its new Southern California Intermodal facility 1996 19V 1998 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 Bounce Hurlmgton Nort6em Serra Fe R�7[oad Trucking Drives Industrial Growth. Nearly every Southern California Less Than Load (LTL) trucking firm has its cargo sorting facility in the Inland Empire This includes all of the major companies such as Consolidated Freight, Roadway Express, Yellow Freight Systems, ABF Freight Systems and Watson Freight lines In addition, UPS has its regional goods handling fa- cility at Ontario International Airport Federal Express is expanding at that site, and Roadway Package Express is operung a major facility in Rialto Econonucs & Pobttcs. Inc 26 38.-Office Net Space Absccption Grand Terrace thus sits In the midst of the fastest growing area of Southern California From this position, the city faces several challenges • Given the pace and nature of job growth In the Inland Empire, it must decide how to par- ticipate in leadership decisions affecting the region's development • It must decide how to use its remaining residential property, in light of the likely de- mands for housing coming from this growth • It must recognize the largely industrial nature of growth In the Inland Empire, and In that context decide what kind of development It wants to see on its commerclaVlndustnal property and how fast 0 It must develop ways to see that the use of this property establishes a visible identity for the city, that can lure shoppers to its retail district Exhibit 39.-Employment Change, Southern California Markets 199a Compared to 1990, Year -To -Date As Of November 170,164 i (175,236) Orange21,955 Los Angeles Venutra Source CA Employment Development Departmcaft Economics & Poltttcs, Inc. 28 r fll Recommendation. As the housing stock of Grand Terrace ages, It is imperative that the quality of its neighborhoods be maintained In many respects, this should be the highest priority of city economic development 3. Residential Development. The Inland Empire lacks upscale homes sought by senior corporate executives, top level professionals and most successful entrepreneurs The lully view areas along Grand Terrace's eastern edge provide the potential for devel- opment of tlus type Developed appropriately, this area could lure a new group of potential high end consumers and community leaders into the town Recommendation. The hills and potential view lots along Grand Terrace's eastern edge should be zoned for very upscale, residential development 4. Home Office. Modern internet technology has freed some people to create high technology businesses from their homes Geographic location and freeway access is less relevant to such entrepreneurs than the quality of the fiber optics available to them Recommendation. High technology home office companies are a potential source of economic development In a high income city like Grand Terrace City economic de- velopment activities should attempt to encourage It This should include using the city's leverage with cable and communications companies to ensure that city resi- dents have access to the best internet pipes To the extent that the city can encourage personal networking among technology home office firms, it should do so Also, the idea of providing them with access to free advertising and hyperlinks through the city web page is a good one �1 5. City Visibility. While Grand Terrace is well situated geographically, thanks to its lo- cation along the I 215 between the Cities of San Bernardino and Riverside, much of that advantage is lost to city retailers because the community is invisible to travelers along this route To the extent possible, this needs to be corrected Recommendation. The freeway signage announcing Grand Terrace is woefully in- adequate At a mmimum the signs for the Barton Road cuts should be enlarged and include the words "City of Grand Terrace" The idea of changing Barton Road to Grand Terrace Boulevard is an intriguing one It should be noted that the City of Riverside changed "7h Street" to "Nfission Inn Boulevard" to solve a similar problem with the NLssion Inn's visibility 6. Relating Visible Industrial Zone To Rest Of City. A more complex problem for Grand Terrace is finding a way to use its freeway visible industrial/commercial zone to make a statement about the largely invisible community Currently, this area lies largely fallow, except for a limited hodge-podge of unattractive and uncoordinated developments In a sense, this area currently provides travelers with negative infer- ences about the city above This should be changed Recommendation. One of several goals of the City of Grand Terrace, for its freeway frontage commercial/industrial property, should be the development of this area in a visible manner that sends messages consistent with the image which the city wishes to project to the world about itself Whether It be done with architectural style, monuments, slglrage or landscaping, the goal should be to say that there is a high quality community above here that you should admire, and even get off the freeway Economics & Politics, Inc 30 Exhibit• • • Firms By Sector Inland Empire,• • • • Sector Workers Firms Workers/Firm Sq Fat FeeWVorker Plastic Injection 2,282 43 531 2,355,933 1,032 Metal Fabricating 1,148 34 338 1,412,432 1,231 Furniture 1,828 25 731 1,901,615 1,040 Food (Mission Food) 1,165 19 61 3 1,563,309 1,342 Machinery & Equipment 846 19 445 811,440 959 Auto Parts 872 17 51 3 827,728 949 Home Products 1,218 16 762 1,431,665 1,175 Aerospace (SBAerospace) 1,877 12 1564 1,685,707 898 Semi-Conductor(Temecula) 1,401 12 1167 1,105,913 790 Vehicle 1,001 11 910 652,647 652 Sport 747 11 679 720,355 964 Recycle 582 11 529 974,500 1,674 Paper 558 11 508 901,320 1,614 Office Equipment 1,193 9 1326 640 650 537 Container 269 9 299 464,898 1,728 Medical 190 7 271 272,692 1,438 Wood Working 118 6 197 170,282 1,444 Musical Instruments (Fender) 900 3 3000 470,000 522 Rubber 219 3 731 257,570 1,174 Buildmg Material 151 3 503 176,000 1,166 Filter 106 3 353 171,860 1,621 Adhesive 58 3 193 78,580 1,354 Shoe 115 2 575 74,579 649 Water Treatment 110 2 552 75,022 679 Bottlmg 28 2 140 27,330 974 Pharmaceutical 150 1 1500 150,000 1,000 Plumbing 85 1 850 81,750 962 Signs 30 1 300 30,000 1,000 Fireworks 20 1 200 20,550 1,028 Petroleum 18 1 182 17,480 962 China 10 1 104 10,000 962 Clothing 9 1 88 7,275 829 Chemical 6 1 56 6,585 1,180 339 Business Service 911 12 76 309,021 Health Care 604 11 55 29ZO43 483 Telecomm 813 6 136 53,000 65 Finance 300 5 60 75,450 252 HQ Construction 77 5 15 45,280 589 Software 810 4 203 144 000 178 Sales 71 4 18 34 940 490 HQ Retail 120 3 40 61,656 514 Insurance (Aetna) 562 2 281 110,172 196 Source Grubb & Ellis, Lee & Associates, CB Commercial, Cushman Wakefield, Collms Fuller Manufacturing.
