This is an information item only. No action is being requested. ITEM EXPLANATION: In early December of this year the SANDAG Board of Directors is scheduled to take action (issue a draft for formal review) on the new Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP). In an effort to build awareness about the plan in advance of the formal draft release, and at the recommendation of SANDAG, staff is proposing a briefing about the plan. Based upon the final 2030 Forecasts, the RCP will focus on the relationship between transportation and land use, using the recently updated Regional Transportation Plan (Mobility 2030), and the existing regional habitat conservation plans, as starting points, the integration of transportation and land use in the RCP will involve a balance of: + Sensitive lands protection, 4 Housing opportunities, 4 Job opportunities, and 4 Adequate public facilities and services While these issues will be viewed primarily from the traditional single-county perspective, the RCP will also consider a number of “borders” issues, which involve our relationships with Mexico, the counties of Imperial, Riverside, and Orange, and tribal governments within and outside San Diego County. The proposed RCP planning framework is provided as Exhibit 1. A copy of the outline of the draft RCP is provided as Exhibit 2. ENVIRONMENTAL: None is required as this is an informational item only FISCAL IMPACT: No impacts are associated with this information item. The Regional Comprehensive Plan, however, will make proposals regarding fiscal incentives and disincentives for the funding of regional infrastructure, with emphasis on transportation and transit facilities. In addition, proposals aimed at accommodating the growth being forecast through 2030 could result in local agencies amending their general plans in ways that could affect the needs for and costs of providing local infrastructure and services.
