The recent City Council elections reaffirm the people's insistence that we resolve these issues and assure the protection of San Diego's high quality of life.

STATEMENT OF REASONS The City of San Diego is growing at an extremely rapid rate. This inadequately planned and poorly managed ,or01 grave threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. Our roads are becoming increasingly congested and will soon resemble the gridlocked freeways, highways, and stre Angeles. Many of ou1- communities do not have adequate parks, libraries, and other public facilities. Our children are b learn in overcrowded schools. The crime rate and gang violence are skyrocketing largely because our courts, jails, and p are severely overburdened by growth. Moreover, because new development does not pay its full proportionate share of the costs it imposes on our City, 3 residents are being forced to subsidize this new development through higher taxes such as the increased sales tax; throu: for water, sewer, and other services; and through higher fees. The Planned Growth Initiative establishes fair and reasonable standards for traffic, public facilities, fiscal respons water and requires that new development projects meet these standards before they can proceed. If enacted, this initial 0 Ensure that new development does not result in LOS Angeles-style traffic congestion on our freeways, highxi Require that public facilities such as police and fire protection and schools are provided prior to or concurrt Mandate that new development pay its full and fair share of the costs of growth so that existing residents w Help preserve San Diego’s open space and protect our water resources. . . streets; forced to subsidize new development through higher taxes, rates, or fees; Date: October 29, 1989 Prevent Los Angelization Now!

PREVENT LOS ANGELES NOW STAFF ISSUE PAPER PROJECTS WHICH wourm BE AFFECTED ISSUE: Requirement.$ of this measure apply to tentative maps conditional use permits, parcel maps, development agreementr building permits, grading permits, and land development permitr Projects now defined as discretionary are involved as well i ministerial projects greater than four dwelling units in size c 10,000 square feet of commercial/industrial office space. How mar more projects will be added to the City's discretionary revit process under this measure, and what are the implications of su( review? DISCUSSION: The City reviews approximately 1,200 discretiona projects annually. These projects are reviewed for environment impacts, needed traffic improvements, and public facili availability. Adoption of this measure would increase projects be reviewed to approximately 1,600 to 1,700 annually. This numb residential projects of four or fewer dwelling units a commercial/industrial development of less than 10,000 square fee In 1988, the City reviewed for ministerial building permit 4 projects greater than four dwelling units in size or 10,000 squa feet of commercial/industrial. These projects would now classified as discretionary and required to submit the analys and meet the mitigation requirements of the initiative. The 4 projects represent 7,969 dwelling units and 15,051,405 square fe of commercial/industrial development. In 1989, this numt increased to apprclximately 471 projects. All of these projec would have to submit a detailed traffic congestion analye (whereas today lesls than 100 projects require detailed traff studies), a certification of adequate public facilj availability, a detailed twenty-year fiscal balance analysis, i a detailed water analysis. The need for these additional studi would result in increased costs and processing time. If t proposed developmerit causes traffic level of service to fall bel the standard, or i,f the proposed development does not fulfill public facility concurrency requirement, or if the project co more to service than will generate in revenues, or if the proj causes adverse impacts on the water supply, quality or rates; t the project proponent must meet mitigation requirements, includ but not limited to payment of a fee, or be denied. The budgetary implications of reviewing an additional 400 to discretionary projects, as well as increasing the level of rev for already defined discretionary projects, is outlined in cover memo to this report. is based on the initiative's exemption provision which exemp PLAN ISSUE PAPE Page 1 ATTAC#MEN'I! 2 m a SECTION 2A: NEW DIWELOPMENT SHALL NOT INCREASE TRAFFIC CONGElSTI ON TRAFFIC CONGESTION tSSUE 1: How can the critical traffic goals ( the PLAN! initiative, (that congestion levels not be increased be achieved while maintaining the City's planning g oals adoptc for recognized special communities (e.g. those intended as urbi nodes)? This section requires - all applications for permii subject to this initiative (inclusive of building permits for fi7 development of over 10,000 square feet) to include a detaili traffic congestion analysis identifying adverse impacts of tl proposed development upon the "established standards". The PLAI initiative establishes the standard to be set at a level service (L.O.S.) "C" during off-peak hours for all roadways a during peak hours. Some community plans (e.g. Centre Cit University, Mission Valley, Uptown and La Jolla) have been adopt with a recognition that existing and projected level of servi standards are below the Standards identified by the measure. DISCUSSION: It is the City's current policy that appropria levels of service be maintained on streets as prescribed by t General Plan and community plans. However, it is not possible (n necessarily desirable) to set the same roadway level of servi for - all communities. Many communities in San Diego have existing peak hour level of service lower than IcCtl or "D" some locations (particularly freeways and freeway ramp meter because the community was developed decades ago with more narr streets; or because the area has unique characteristics (bea communities, downtown). Similarly, future level of service many adopted community plans is also below "C" or "D" , due unique community goals and character, land use intensity, effor to encourage redevelopment, or because widening all streets achieve an ideal level of service would cause communi disruption. IntenEle activity centers such as the central busine district cannot reach the critical mass needed and still mainte C&D levels of service on surface streets and freeways. It is not possible to achieve an ideal level of service due ongoing regional growth and community preferences, nor would it cost-effective to widen all streets and freeways to achieve city-wide standard. In addition, it may actually result lowering land use intensities in the urban area, thereby forci growth to the outlying fringes of the county, thus increas: commuting and freeway congestion. Furthermore, the City I evaluates projecks based on impacts on level of servic However, traffic alone is not a good basis for land use decisioi From a planning standpoint, setting a citywide project appro' system based on khe level of service standards on our strec could have a profound effect on land use and density, and may a. or more residenth1 units, and commercial and/or industri, (1 D 11 PLAN ISSUE PAPE: Page 2 ATTACHMENT 2 * a - work counter to some major urban form objectives. In essence designing our city around a traffic level of service system place traffic ahead of and in conflict with other very important urba form policies. TRAFFIC CONGESTION ISSUE 2: The PLAN! Initiative would result i additional impact fees being levied as a means of mitigating th adverse level of service impact associated with a particula project. What unanticipated consequences could result from th imposition of additional fees only tied to level of service? DISCUSSION: Many of the Planned Urbanizing Areas have Facilit Benefit Assessment (F.B.A.) in place. Under the measure 8 proposed, adherence to the transportation measures of the adoptt F.B.A. program would no longer constitute adequate traff: compliance. Because the PLAN! initiative calls for mitigatic citywide at a uniform "C" off-peak and I'D" peak-hour level ( service, it does not allow for plan adopted lower service leve. without further attempts at mitigation. This presents potential legal problem in that impact fees would be applied ovc and above the adopted community plan. Furthermore, assuming that mitigation in our intensely develop( areas would come in the form of impact fees, the system then maki it more expensive to develop where we want intensive developmen and less costly in less intensely developed areas. The proposl system would demand high fees where we want intensive developme and lower fees in less intensely developed areas. The incenti may be in the wrong direction. In addition, to the extent that higher impact fees discoura development in higher intensity urban areas, a disincentive wou be created regarding completion or redevelopment of the communities which have the potential for high public trans usage. The 1979 General Plan recognizes the importance of havi higher intensity areas from the standpoints of focusing employme and shopping opportunities to create sufficient intensity to all service by public transit and to create an efficient land c * pattern. Another unintended consequence would be encoura9ing outlyj development rather than development requiring mitigation. 'I anticipated result would be increased trip lengths and increar traffic. It should also be recognized that feasible mitigatic for projected freeway congestion would not be under the Cit: jurisdiction, but be controlled by CALTRANS. The PLAN! Initiative allows for mitigation by fee in lieu actual improvements. The legality of this concept needs to reviewed by the City Attorney's office. Setting the fees may tricky - how is the amount to be determined; how, where, and w PLAN ISSUE PAPE Page 3 ATTACHMENT 2 * 0 0 - shall the money be spent; can we establish a direct connectic between the fees collected and the benefit attributed to tk development; and how can the improvements be timed to assure thz they are provided concurrent with need. The fee amount and ti timing issue are linked since the longer the gap betwec collection of the fee and actual construction, the higher tl cost. TRAFFIC CONGESTION ISSUE 3: The PLAN! initiative requires lev of service to be measured by the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual ( subsequent additions). This stipulation would limit the range technical tools which the City's Transportation Planning Divisi could apply to future traffic analysis problems. Should initiative establish a methodology for determining level service? DISCUSSION: To avoid restricting the professional determinatic available to the City Engineer in applying appropriate state the art traffic analysis techniques, level of service measureme should also permit the following: 1. Use of the 1985 Highway Capacity Utilization manual 2. Use of the Intersection Capacity Utilization Methodology, I 3. Use of other techniques, if approved by the City, which l generally accepted within the traffic engineering professi subsequent additions, PLAN ISSUE PAP Page 4 ATTACHMENT 2 0 a DISCUSSION: Provisions of public facilities concurrent with ne4 is already City policy. The problem is how does the City actual: do it, particularly in the Urbanized Areas. In the Urbanized Areas, the City does levy impact fees to finani new facilities whose need is generated by new developmen However, there is no mechanism for financing facility deficienci related to existing development. This critical issue is bei Assistant City Manager, John Fowler, Their report is schedul for Council consideration on January 11 and 18, 1990. As possible follow-up to the Fowler report, it may be appropriate re-examine Council Policy 600-28 "Requirements for Developme Approval in Planned Urbanizing Areas" to also consider t facility deficiency issue in the urbanized areas. In additic the terms "concurrency" and "certify adequacy" need to be define PUBLIC FACILITIES ISSUE 4: Should development be postponed unl public facility standards can be attained? DISCUSSION: If public facilities cannot be provided concurrf with need, as required by the initiative, does the City have 1 option of postponing development until the facilities can provided? This involves the question of which specific facilit. must be in place in order for a development to proceed The issue is most relevant in the Urbanized Areas wh significant facility deficiencies exist. The Citizens' Fina Committee will make recommendations on this issue as well. addressed by the Citizens' Finance Committee headed by form PLAN ISSUE PAP Page 6 ATTACHMENT 2 a 0 SECTION 2C: NEW DEVELOPHENT SHALL PAY ITS FAIR SHARE ISSUE: Would a requirement that individual development proposal meet a fiscal balance test be workable and beneficial to th Cit ? The initiative states that a twenty year fiscal balanc .dygig to identify costs and benefits of proposed development shall be performed on each application for "discretionar approval" and that projects be approved only if a favorabl fiscal balance can be assured. DISCUSSION: The requirement for fiscal balance to be assured pose several difficult problems. Residential projects usually COB more to service than they can generate in revenues. By contrast commercial developments often generate more in revenues than the cost to service. For this reason, the fiscal analysis criteria ( this initiative would tend to favor primarily commercial projeci and large mixed use projects over smaller, primarily residenti: projects. Denial of residential projects because of the: inability to pay for themselves could result in an imbalance ( uses. This would potentially conflict with objectives I community plans and the General Plan calling for balancc communities and affordable housing. In addition, it would tend 1 favor large scale development over smaller projects. The fisci balance requirement could also penalize institutional ai non-profit uses such as churches and museums which do not pi taxes and contribute revenues unless they are exempted from th requirement. The fiscal balance requirement could also conflii with City efforts to encourage redevelopment and new developmei in certain older sections of the City. A meaningful analysis of costs of service vs. revenues would be be done on a community and subregional basis rather than on project by project basis. Since a community-wide analysis is on practical in newly developing areas, the usefulness of th approach is limited to a few urbanizing communities. The Planning Department's previous experience with fiscal impa ' analyses prepared by consultants for developers is that t analyses are frequently self-serving and contain data which difficult to support or refute. This indicates that objecti analysis for most projects would best be done by City staff rath than consultants. In Section 4, Subsection C, "EFFECTIVE DATE AND IMPLEMENTATION the initiative states "The City Manager shall maintain a list 'independent qualified firms' to perform the analysis required this measure." This language does not allow the Manager t discretion to utilize City staff who have the expertise to perfc the analysis. PLAN ISSUE PAPEE Page 7 ATTACHMENT 2 . 0 a SECTION 2D: NEW DEVELOPMENT SHALL ADOPT REASONABLE WATE CONSERVATION AND RECLAMATION MEASURES ISSUE 1: Would a water quality analysis for individua development proposals result in implementation of appropriat water conservation measures? This Section requires a1 applications for permits subject to this initiative to include detailed water analysis which describes the water usage of tl project and its impact on water supply, quality, and rates. I addition to considering any identified adverse impacts, the Cit would require the applicant to use all economically feasible watt conservation and reclamation measures. DISCUSSION: City discretionary projects are currently subject i Water conservation impact analysis as a component of the CEQA mandated environmental review process. However, this analysis ' not normally carried out for most smaller projects, or actio] such as building permits which the PLAN! initiative defines t discretionary. The impact on water supply, quality, and ratc would not be very meaningful or measurable for the small1 projects. However, the City's Water Utilities Department shou develop citywide goals and policies for reducing water usage ai promoting water conservation. A more efficient and meaningfl approach to water impact analysis would be to address these issul on a cumulative basis in the General Plan and community plan with only large scale projects requiring the type of analys described. ISSUE 2: Would a water overlay zone be an effective means assuring protection of water quality in City reservoir Sections D3 and D4 call for establishment of a perimeter "wat quality overlay zone" surrounding reservoirs in the City used f potable water storage. A development restriction of one residen per 10 acres is proposed for these areas. DISCUSSION: The City Water Utilities Department's reservo protection criteria are not based on a set distance requiremen The City applies its Urban Run-off Control Protection Systems individual projects on the basis of "dry run-off" (urban drainag and "first flush" (initial storm run-off) criteria. Use of pipe canals, and other structural measures as necessary are appli through the subdivision process. It appears that the propos buffer zone of 1,000 feet or the nearest ridgeline is neith necessary nor sufficient without other measures to protect potab water quality. A more meaningful water quality protection progr should be based on a comprehensive watershed analysis. ISSUE 3: How would application of the water protection overl zone affect land uses? Application of the proposed overlay zc PLAN ISSUE PAPEE Page 8 ATTACHMENT 2 e * would limit and constrain future development around Lake Hodges Lake Murray and Miramar Lake. The most significant impact anticipated would be in the Miramar Ranch North Community on th north side of Miramar Lake, The adopted plan for: this cornmunit designates approximately 25% of the industrial development and 1E of the residential development in the entire community to the are between the reservoir and the nearest ridgeline, This "reservoi viewshed" development would be precluded by the PLAN! initiative. PLAN ISSUE PAPEE Page 9 ATTACHMENT 2 0 SD 2000 INITIATIVE ISSUE PAPER 1. Completion of the Regional Transportation System a. Issue: A Comprehensive Transportation Impact Fee requir new development to pay a benefit assessment fee for transportation facilities. The initiative lists project which will receive the fee, some of which are not on SANDAG's list of projects. Up to 10 percent of the fee revenues are allocated to needed transportation facilitj in the ubanized area which may not be sufficient. It is not clear if the fee is in addition to or is in place of the regional impact fee being studied by SANDAG. Discussion: Approval of the initiative would require th City to enact an ordinance requiring new development to pay a fee which would go towards defraying the cost of constructing or expanding "Priority Transportation and/c The fee shall not exceed $200 per Average Daily Trip and does not apply to exactions for local-serving facilities or improvements. The purpose of the fee (known as the Comprehensive Transportation Impact Fee Program) is to supplement existing local, State and Federal funds bein; used to implement the Regional Transportation Plan. SANDAG is currently evaluating such a regional impact fe The City could incorporate SANDAG's program into its City-wide Impact Fee program, which is presently being developed by staff of City Council consideration. The initiative identifies nine priority transportation corridor projects, four of which are not on SANDAG's preliminary list for review. These projects include SR 52 (1-15 to SR 67)' South Poway Arterial-8A (1-15 to SR 125), SR 905 (1-805 to SR 125) and SR 905 (SR 125 to Border Crossing). The initiative requires the City Council to annually allocate up to 10 percent of the fee revenues for facilities in the urbanized area. This may be too rigid and could cause problems in the future, depending on hoa the regional impact fee program is to be established. I growth continues to be more in the urbanized area than t planned urbanizing area, a 10 percent ceiling would caus inequities. Transit Corridor Projects" as listed in the initiative. b. Issue: Requires the City to enact a TranSpOKtatiOII Dema Management Program. The Program shall include a Drive Alone Rate goal for large employers not to exceed 55 percent of the total worksite commuters by 1996. The initiative does not address such employers. Large SD 2000 ISSUE PAP Page 1 ATTACHMENT 3 e 1 employers shall establish TDM information centers, transportation coordinators, and orientation programs. Employers may authorize a Transportation Management Association to prepare a plan within their geographical area. The program shall apply to non-residential pco ject which exceed 25,000 square feet. Discussion: Adoption of this measure would strengthen tk City's existing TDM program for large employers as it reiterates the goals and policies of the City's TDM ordinance. For small employers (15-49 employees at a worksite) the initiative is silent. The City's ordinancc has a Drive Alone Rate of 55 percent to be accomplished by 1998. 2. Protecting Future Water Supplies Issue: Requires the City to enact a Water Reclamation Facilities Master Plan, and/or ordinance requiring installation of reclaimed water delivery systems as a condition of approval. Reclaimed water shall be used for common area landscaping, golf courses, parks, freeway landscaping, greenbelts, cemeteries, and artificial lakes where public contact is prohibited. The initiative also requires the City to establish a per capita water conservati goal through enactment of a Water Conservation Program designed to require installation of water saving fixtures 01 City-owned facilities and as a condition of approval for projects subject to this initiative. Discussion: A proposed Water Reclamation Facilities Master Plan is presently being considered for adoption as part of ' City's Clean Water Program. In addition, an ordinance has already been adopted to require usage of reclaimed water in areas to be identified in the Master Plan. Water conservat goals and programs are addressed in Council Policy 400-09. 3. Curbside Trash Recycling Program Issue: Requires the City to establish a goal for the recov of recyclable materials at an annual volume of 35 percent within three years, and 50 percent within seven years of adoption. Within ten years, all households within the City shall be served with curbside recycling. New development shall be required to provide storage areas for the collectj of targeted recyclable materials. Can the City realistical meet this goal given projected operation expenses? Discussion: The goals of 35 percent recovery within three Unrealistic, as cucbside recycling accounts for only three five percent of all waste generated. Some form of tax or : increase will be required to provide for operating costs. State law already requires a waste recovery rate of 25 per years and 50 percent recovery within seven years are SD 2000 ISSUE P Page 2 ATTACHMENT 3 * e a by 1992 and 50 percent by the year 2000. In addition, the Planning and Waste Management Departments are already workin together to develop an ordinance to require discretionary permit applicants to submit a recycling plan, including storage areas for recyclable materials as part of their perm applications. 4. Air Quality Assurance Plan IsSue; Requires all applications for projects subject to th initiative to include a detailed analysis identifying the impacts of the proposed development on the ability of the region to meet Federal and State air quality standards. The City may require measures to mitigate identified adverse impacts. Discussion: The environmental process reviews the effects c projects on air quality by looking at any large increases ir density that may affect the regional mandate to meet Federal air quality standards. If a project is proposed at a densit higher than growth projections, it would be considered to be significant impact, and the City would require mitigation. 5. Water Quality Assurance Plans Issue: Requires all applications for projects subject to tl initiative to include a detailed analysis identifying the region to meet Federal and State water quality standards. * City may require measures to mitigate identified adverse impacts. Discussion: The environmental process reviews the effects ( projects on water quality, particularly if located near wetlands or reservoirs. Any adverse impacts would require mitigation. impacts of the proposed development on the ability of the 6. Child Care Site Program Issue: Requires the City to adopt an ordinance requiring projects subject to this initiative to reserve land or pay fees for the acquisition of sites for child day care center The ordinance shall include definite standards and methodol for determining the required reservation and/or fees, including procedures to allow for waivers if no need will b created by the project. the development subject to the requirement. Does the initiative adequately address the need for child care given the waiver exemption and the minimuim size requirement? Discussion: Including child care centers as a condition of approval for discretionary projects should be commended, however, wording in the initiative raises several questions The reservation and/or fee shall directly relate to the need for child day care sites caused SD 2000 ISSUE PP Page 3 ATTACHMENT 3 e 0 The ordinance imposing such a requirement will allow waivers if no need is created by the project. The initiative does nc indicate criteria to be used for determination of need. A project applicant could meet this condition "through other means" not defined in the initiative. The initiative allows for the release of the property or the reconveyance of fees if not used in five years. not sufficient to determine the ultimate need for the facility. Demographic and/or economic changes could cause a change in conditions which could extend the time needed to reserve the facility for future projected growth. The initiative defines child care sites as sufficient land tc provide up to 115 child care spaces per 1,000 population, no to exceed 110 square feet of land per child care space. SK law requires at a minimum 110 square feet per child of usabll space. Usable space is outdoor and indoor areas not includii storage, shelves, bathrooms, sleeping area and other unusabll play space. The city had recently hired a child care coordinator and is impediments to providing child care centers. Five years currently amending the zoning code to reduce land use 7. Public Facility Concurrent With Need Issue: The initiative reinforces existing City policy by requiring community facilities including but not limited to parks, fire stations, and libraries to be available concurrei with "the impacts of such development." Developers of discretionary projects will be required to directly construc facilities needed to serve the residents of that development If this requirement is not met, the City would be able to reduce the scope of the project or phase or condition projec approvals to ensure facility completion. The terms "concurrent with need" and the word "need" are not defined i the initiative. Discussion! The initiative does not resolve public facility phasing problems any more than existing City policies attemp to resolve these problems. The term "concurrent with need" and the word "need" will need to be defined as is the case with existing City Policy. The City is already meeting the facility financing requirements through Capital Improvement Plans, Facility Financing Plans, and Facility Threshold/Phasing Plans. 8. Facilities Adequacy and Fiscal Impact Analysis Report Issue: Requires applications for discretionary projects to include a fiscal impact analysis estimating the revenues to generated from the proposed development with the anticipated operational, maintenance and replacement costs for providing SD 2000 ISSUE PAP Page 4 ATTACHMENT 3 1 0 e and servicing all public facilities related to the needs generated by the development. If it is shown that costs wil outweigh revenues, the City may balance the benefits derived from the development against the fiscal deficiencies. A fiscal impact analysis covering an entire community plan are shall satisfy the requirements of this section. Discussion: Requires a fiscal impact analysis for projects subject to the initiative. The City may approve projects eu if they have an unfavorable fiscal impact when the City find that fiscal impacts are balanced by desirable social, economic, housing or environmental impacts. The initiative also states that a fiscal impact analysis covering an entire community plan area would be sufficient to meet the fiscal impact requirement. While a community-wide analysis is more meaningful than a project by project analysis, the usefulnes of this approach is limited to a few newly urbanizing communities. At the present time, a practical approach for estimating community-wide fiscal impacts in urbanized communities is lacking, and needs to be developed. 9. Sensitive Lands and Habitat Conservation Issue: Requires the City to create Habitat Conservation Districts designed to require land which supports rare or endangered species of animals or plants. Acquisition of the districts shall occur through grant funding, assessment financing or impact fees required as a condition of approval of discretionary projects. Discussion: "Habitat Conservation Districts" does not have any official status, but could be analayous to "habitat conservation plans" (HCP's). HCP's are provided for in Federal law to allow the taking of an endangered species provided the State, Local and Federal resource agencies agre to the program in advance. An HCP is being prepared for the San Diego River for the least Bell's Vireo. The HCP is a mechanism to provide for the preservation of endangered species while still allowing for selected development projec to proceed. 10. Housing Affordability Issue: Requires the City to review existing ordinances, policies and procedures which affect housing affordability, and where feasible amend ordinances, policies and procedures to provide for the retention, rehabilitation and constructio of more affordable housing units. Discussion: City staff has begun reviewing all housing policies within the Housing Element for preparation of a Housing Element update slated for completion in June, 1991. As well,.staff is beginning to implement the Housing Trust Fund recently adopted by the City Council. It is anticipate SD 2000 ISSUE PAP Page 5 ATTACHMENT 3 e a that approximately 2,600 units will be provided annually for low-income people through the efforts of the Housing Trust Fund. In addition, staff is drafting guidelines to incorporate a Housing Affordability Impact Statement into all future staff reports where it is appropriate. Efforts are underway to affordable housing requirements. amend the Balanced Communities Policy to establish minimum 11. Annual Public Report Issue: Requires the City to prepare a report documenting tf. amount, type, location and intensity of development by community plan area, and shall certify that each component c the measure has been complied with. The report shall incluc an economic analysis, the effect on housing affordability ar availability, employment and other economic impacts. Discussion: It may be difficult to comply with reporting requirements for economic and housing affordability impacts. The complexity of these issues makes it difficult to isolate the effects of a single variable (i.e. development which has occurred in a one-year period). 12. Definitions Issue: Discretionary projects are defined as any real estat development application which requires a tentative map, par( map, reclassification, general plan amendment, development agreement, planned development permit or similar discretion: approval intended to review a project or land use, applied j after the effective date of this measure, excluding single purpose permits. Discussion: Application of this measure to only those projects listed above will limit the measure’s applicabilit! to the future urbanizing area, areas within the planned urbanizing area requiring a tentative map or planned development permit. It is not clear if community plan amendments, conditional use permits, or planned district permits are subject to the measure. Issue: Average Daily Trip is defined as the cumulative imp4 rate as defined by the City of San Diego Engineering & Development Department. Trip Generation rate summary, revi February 2, 1987. Discussion: To avoid restricting the professional determinations available to the City Engineer in applying appropriate state of the art traffic analysis techniques, C approved updates of definitions used to measure traffic generation rates should be allowed. These rates are frequently updated as new information and studies are made available.
