Code Amendment No. .91-4 meets state requirements for a county wide Congestion Management Program by establishing a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance. 3 . Code Amendment No. 91-4 would provide significant public benefits by improving air quality, enhancing the effectiveness of the existing transportation system and reducing energy requirements . ISSUES AND ANALYSIS• Code Amendment No. 91-4 is a request by the City of Huntington Beach to adopt a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance establishing facility requirements for businesses employing one-hundred (100) or more persons . Each county in the State of California is required to prepare a Congestion Management Program in order to qualify for state funds intended for transportation improvements . These funds will be generated by a nine (9) cent gas tax authorized by Proposition 111, which passed in June of 1990 . One of the requirements of the Congestion Management Program is the adoption of a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance. The Transportation Demand Management program emphasizes measures to reduce peak period vehicle trips, encourage alternative transportation modes, achieve air quality improvements and reduce transportation demand on a county wide basis . The proposed ordinance applies to non-residential land uses, especially those new commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments which employ 100 persons or more at a single work site. Approval for these developments will be based on the inclusion of the following standards and provisions in their site plans : - Preferential parking for carpool vehicles . - Bicycle parking racks and shower facilities . - Information on transportation alternatives . - Rideshare vehicle loading areas . - Vanpool vehicle accessibility. - Bus stop improvements . RCA - 4/15/91 -2- (9264d) Not only does the Transportation Demand Management Ordinance comply with the Congestion Management Program but it also ties in with the Air Quality Management Plan to improve air quality, it enhances the effectiveness of the existing transportation system, and it reduces energy requirements . The requirements for transportation facilities will be incorporated into the commercial and industrial district standards of the Ordinance Code. Environmental Status : Code Amendment No. 91-4 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) which is the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment . It can be seen with certainty that Code Amendment No. 91-4 will not have a significant impact on the environment. FUNDING SOURCE: Not Applicable ALTERNATIVE ACTION: a. Motion to "Deny Code Amendment No. 91-4 with findings" . This action may jepardize transportation funds the City would otherwise receive. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance No. -�107 2 .

LOCATION: City Wide 1 .0 SUGGESTED ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Code Amendment No. 91-4 with the findings contained in Section 5 . 0 and recommend adoption by the City Council after proper formating. 2 . 0 GENERAL INFORMATION: Code Amendment No. 91-4 is a request by the City of Huntington Beach to adopt a Transportation Demand Assessment Ordinance establishing facility requirements for businesses employing one-hundred (100) or more persons. 3 . 0 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Code Amendment No. 91-4 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) which is the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that Code Amendment No. 91-4 will not have a significant impact on the environment. 4_._0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Each county in the State of California is required to prepare a Congestion Management Program in order to qualify for state funds intended for transportation improvements. These funds will be generated by a nine (9) cent gas tax authorized by Proposition 111, which passed in June of 1990. A-F M-23C One of the requirements of the Congestion Management Program is the adoption of a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance. The Transportation Demand Management program emphasizes measures to reduce peak period vehicle trips, encourage alternative transportation modes, achieve air quality improvements and reduce transportation demand on a county wide basis . The proposed ordinance applies to non-residential land uses, especially those new commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments which employ 100 persons or more at a single work site. Approval for these developments will be based on the inclusion of the following standards and provisions in their site plans : - Preferential parking for carpool vehicles. - Bicycle parking racks and shower facilities . - Information on transportation alternatives . - Rideshare vehicle loading areas . - Vanpool vehicle accessibility. - Bus stop improvements . I, I Not only does the Transportation Demand Management Ordinance comply with the Congestion Management Program but it also ties in with the Air Quality Management Plan to improve air quality, it enhances the effectiveness of the existing transportation system, and it reduces energy requirements . The requirements for transportation facilities will be incorporated into the commercial and industrial district standards of the Ordinance Code. I Staff only received this ordinance request on March 21, 1991 and has not had sufficient time to properly format it for the Ordinance Code. The draft language which is attached to this staff report however, is the language which will be incorporated. Due to a severe urgency in adopting this ordinance, it has already been scheduled for City Council hearings on April 15, 1991 and April 29, 1991. Staff is asking the Planning Commission to review the draft language and forward it to the City Council with the understanding that the format will be changed to reflect the standard format of the Ordinance Code. 5 . 0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Code Amendment No. 91-4 with the following findings and forward to the City Council for adoption: "i 4 Staff Report - 4/2/91 -2- (9174d) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CODE AMENDMENT NO, 91-4 : 1. Code Amendment No. 91-4 will be consistent with the goals and policies contained within the General- Plan of minimizing adverse environmental effects by encouraging reduction of vehicle trips . 2 . Code Amendment No. 91-4 meets state requirements for a county wide Congestion Management Program by,establishing a Transportation Demand Management- Ordinance. 3 . Code Amendment No. 91-4 would provide significant public benefits by improving air quality, enhancing the effectiveness of the existing transportation system and reducing energy requirements . 6 . 0 ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Planning Commission may deny Code Amendment No. 91-4 with findings .

For purposes of this Ordinance, the.definitions for the following terms shall apply: A. "Alternative Transportation Modes" means any mode of travel that serves as an alternative to the single occupant vehicle. This can include all forms of ridesharing such as carpooling or vanpooling, as well as public transit, bicycling or walking. B. "Applicable Development" means any new development project that is determined to meet or exceed the employment threshold using the criteria contained in Section V. of this ordinance. C. "Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR)" is calculated by dividing the number of employees who report to the worksite or another work related activity between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. inclusive Monday through Friday by the number of vehicles driven by these employees over that five-day period. The AVR calculation requires that a five-consecutive-weekday average be used. The averaging period cannot contain a holiday. An example of calculating AVR using a weekly averaging period for an employer with 300 employees all reporting to work between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. inclusive Monday through Friday is Employees reporting to work: Monday — 300 Tuesday — 300 Wednesday — 300 Thursday — 300 Friday — +300 1500 Total number of commute vehicles driven to the worksite by these employees: Monday — 270 Tuesday — 250 Wednesday — 280 Thursday — 265 Friday — +262 1327 1500 divided by 1327 equals 1.13 AVR This calculation does not include any credits for telecommuting, clean fueled vehicles, or compressed work weeks. Ord. 3 D. "Developer" means the builder who is responsible for the planning, design and construction of an applicable development project. A developer may be responsible for implementing the provisions of this Ordinance as determined by the property owner. E. "Employee" means any person employed by a firm, person(s), business, educational institution, non-profit agency or corporation, government agency or other entity which employs 100 or more persons at a single worksite. F. "Employment Generation Factors" refers to factors developed for use by the jurisdiction for projecting the potential employment of any proposed development project. G "Employer" means any person(s), firm business, educational institution, government agency, non-profit agency or corporation, or other entity which employs 100 or more persons at a single worksite, and may either be a property owner or tenant of an applicable development project. H. "Facility(s)" means the total of all buildings, structures and grounds that encompass a worksite, at either single or multiple locations, that comprises or is associated with an applicable development project. I. "Level of Service (LOS)" means a measure of the operational quality of a road or intersection ranging from LOS A (best) to LOS F (worst). As required by CMP legislation, the LOS standard for the CMP Highway System must be at "E" or at the existing LOS, whichever is further from LOS "A", for any intersection or roadway segment. J. "Mixed-Use Development" means new development projects that combine any one of these land uses with another: residential, office, commercial, light industrial, and business park. K. "New Development Project" means any non-residential project being processed where some level of discretionary action by a decision-making body is required. (Note: Projects covered by development agreements are not exempt from the TDM requirement of the CMP.) L. "Operational Programs and Strategies" means implementation of a range of techniques that require ongoing monitoring that can effect actual business operations and employee behavior at the facility or worksite to encourage reduction in peak-hour vehicle trips and use of alternative transportation modes. These techniques may range from establishment of ridesharing programs to the use of parking fees, cash allowances or other incentives or disincentives. Operational programs and strategies are distinct from facility standards which encourage trip reduction through modifications in facility or worksite design. M. "Peak-Period" means those hours of the business day between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. inclusive, Monday through Friday. Ord. 4 N "Property Owner" means the legal owner of the applicable development.project who 7 serves as the lessor.to an employer or tenant.

A tenant may be responsible for implementing the provisions of this Ordinance as determined by the property owner. Q. "Transportation Demand Management (TDM)" means the implementation of programs, plans, or policies designed to encourage changes in individual travel behavior. TDM can include an emphasis on alternative travel modes to the single occupant vehicle (SOV) such as carpools, vanpools, and transit; reduction or elimination of the number of vehicle.trips, or shifts in the time of vehicle commutes to other than the peak-period. R. "Trip Reduction" means reducing the number of work related trips takCbeteen a.m. and 1Q a.m. inclusive Monday through Friday in single-occupancyS. "Worksi e"Ji ans a building, or grouping of buildings located within th which e� actual physical contact or separated solely by a private or public roadwa orher private or public right-of-way, and which are owned or operated by the s mployer (or employers under common control).
