RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council RECEIVE A BRIEFING regarding the draft "Smart Growth Concept Map. This
is an information item only. No action is being requested.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In July 2004, the SANDAG Board of Directors adopted the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) for
the San Diego region. A key step in RCP implementation is the preparation of a "Smart Growth
Concept Map" to identify specific locations where smart growth development exists, is planned, or
has the potential to exist in the future. The map will be used in the update of the comprehensive
2007 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and in determining eligibility to compete for the future
TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) funding.
Working together, SANDAG staff, local planning directors, stakeholders, and SANDAG's Regional
Planning Committee have identified approximately 200 existing, planned, and potential smart growth
areas in the San Diego region. The purpose of this presentation is to ensure that local city councils
are aware of the smart growth areas identified in their jurisdiction and subregion. Public workshops
will be held on the Smart Growth Concept Map this April. The workshop for the North County Coastal
Subregion is being held Thursday, April 20, 2006, 6-8:30 p.m., at the Oceanside Community Room,
300 North Coast Highway, Oceanside.
The draft "Smart Growth Concept Map" is provided as Exhibit 1. The draft "Smart Growth Concept
Map North County Sub-Region Map" is provided as Exhibit 2.
There are three potential sites identified in Carlsbad:
CB1 Plaza Camino Real at Marron Road and north of Tamarack Avenue (Town Center)

ASSESSING POLICY
IMPLICATIONS OF
SMART (STRATEGIC)
GROWTH
How can we attain smart
growth land uses in our local
communities?
How do we encourage major institutions
in our communities, such as
universities, hospitals, and other
facilities to consider smart growth
solutions?
How can we better match our
transportation investments and
existing/planned land uses?
How should we prioritize and fund
transit investments in smart
growth areas?
How can public/private partnerships
assist in improving our transportation
and land use connections in
the region?
INTRODUCTION
On July 23, 2004, the SANDAG Board of
Directors adopted the Regional
Comprehensive Plan (RCP) for the San
Diego region. The RCP provides an overall
vision and policy framework for better
connecting transportation and land use within
our region.
Some of the key initiatives for implementing
the RCP include
development of the smart growth concept
map and a comprehensive update of the
adopted Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
(also known as MOBILITY 2030).
SMART GROWTH CONCEPT MAP
The RCP recognizes that smart growth is not
a "one-size-fits-all" proposition in the San
Diego region, and defines seven categories
of smart growth place types, ranging from
"metropolitan center" to "rural village."
A key step in RCP implementation is the
preparation of a Smart Growth Concept Map
to identify specific locations where smart
growth development exists, is planned, or
has the potential to exist in the future.
During the past year, SANDAG staff, in
conjunction with local planning directors,
stakeholders, and the Regional Planning
Committee, has prepared a Preliminary Draft
Smart Growth Concept Map. The map
indicates that there are smart growth
opportunities in every jurisdiction within the
region. Jurisdictions have identified
approximately 200 smart growth areas in the
San Diego region, based on land use and
transportation targets included in the RCP
(see page 25).
About one-third of the areas identified by
jurisdictions qualify as existing or planned
smart growth areas. These areas either
contain existing smart growth development or
allow planned smart growth in accordance
with RCP land use targets, and are
accompanied by existing or planned transit
services. The remaining two-thirds represent
potential smart growth areas where smart
Session C - Assessing Policy Implications of Smart (Strategic) Growth Page 22
growth development could occur if local
plans are changed and/or if the RTP is
modified to provide adequate levels of transit
service. Through this process as well,
consideration will be given to the use of
public/private partnerships to enhance land
use - transit connections. In this context,
particular attention should be paid to
promoting smart growth solutions at major
existing and planned institutional uses such
as universities, hospitals, and certain military
facilities.
INDEPENDENT TRANSIT
PLANNING REVIEW
The upcoming update of the RTP will be one
of the most important RCP implementation
actions. The ultimate objective is to develop
a comprehensive update to the RTP that
incorporates the smart growth and
sustainability policies from the RCP and
makes progress in achieving the plan's vision
and goals.
In 2004, SANDAG directed that, upon
passage of Proposition A, the TransNet
Extension, an independent review of the
existing regional transit plan (which is
contained in MOBILITY 2030) should be
conducted.
SANDAG subsequently directed staff to
proceed with this study as part of the
TransNet Extension Early Action Program.
The transit plan review focuses on the transit
service concepts for regional corridors
contained in MOBILITY 2030. Last year,
SANDAG hired a transit planning consulting
firm with extensive experience in the
planning, development, and operation of
regional transit facilities of the type that are
planned for the San Diego region. The
results of this study will be used in
developing alternative transit networks in the
update of the RTP.
As part of this effort, an independent peer
review panel was created to help select the
consultant, define the scope of work, and
review the consultant's findings. Transit
professionals from regions with operating bus
rapid transit (BRT) services, transit
guideways, and light rail services were
selected to participate on the peer review
panel.
While the work of the peer review panel is
still underway, some preliminary
recommendations will likely include moving
toward a graduated definition of the BRT
concept based on the level of transit priority
measures and passenger amenities. This
graduated BRT definition would recognize
the differences between BRT services in a
Managed Lanes and arterial street
environment. It also allows an incremental
approach to development of BRT based on
the opportunities and constraints present in
different corridors.
ASSESSING SMART
GROWTH PERFORMANCE
Performance Metrics
As the region moves toward smarter growth,
it will be important to measure smart growth
benefits and impacts in comparison to
current plans. Currently, there is a mismatch
between the forecasted number of additional
jobs in the region in 2030 and the homes
needed to accommodate the new workers
and their families. By 2030, the mismatch will
increase by approximately 90,000
housing units.
Preliminary analysis shows that in 2004,
144,000 homes (or 13% of the region's total
homes) were located in existing/ planned
smart growth areas, served by transit under
the $42 billion Reasonably Expected
Revenue Scenario of MOBILITY 2030.
Session C -Assessing Policy Implications of Smart (Strategic) Growth Page 23
7
In 2030, 256,000 homes (or 18%) are
projected to be located in existing smart
growth areas. If potential smart growth areas
are developed at smart growth densities, an
additional 209,000 housing units served by
transit (or 35%) would be added to the
region's housing inventory.
This analysis indicates that variations of the
degree of smart growth development could
yield significant results. In coordination with
the comprehensive 2007 RTP update, staff
will develop several alternative enhanced
smart growth land use / transportation
scenarios based on variations of the Concept
Map and transit service concepts. Staff will
then test which of the alternatives best
implements the RCP policy objectives
associated with housing, transportation,
urban form, and the environment.
Using Technology to Improve Regional
Comprehensive Plans
SANDAG has long used technology to
generate, analyze, and display data from
geographic information systems (CIS),
transportation and growth forecasting
models, and the like. In the past, these data
were typically presented to planners and
decision-makers statically (e.g., in reports
and slide presentations).
New data analysis and display technologies
help the user to correlate the new information
being presented with a known or familiar
foundation, such as super-imposing various
land use scenarios on 2D photo imagery or
3D flyovers. These new technologies help
planners, decision makers, and the public
visualize the effects of different scenarios
and make more informed decisions, resulting
in more effective and comprehensive
regional plans.
To initiate this part of the retreat, staff will
demonstrate some of these new visualization
techniques including: using time-lapse
regional photo imagery to visualize growth;
using Google Earth to identify Smart Growth
opportunities along a transit corridor; and
testing alternative land use scenarios in real
time using a Web-enabled sketch planning
tool (I-PLACE3S).

areas, and feeder access to/from corridor and regional services
• High Frequency Local services - Designed for shorter-distance trips with frequent stops (e.g. current
local bus services)
• Corridor or Community Buses - Designed for medium distance trips with station spacing about every
mile on average (e.g. trolley services, future arterial based bus rapid transit (BRT) routes)
• Regional services - Designed for longer distance trips with stations spacing every 4-5 miles on
average (e.g. COASTER, future freeway-based BRT routes)
Acronyms:
• du/ac = dwelling units per acre
• emp/ac = employees per acre
• N/A = Not applicable
• The original names of these place types as included in the RCP Smart Growth Area Classifications
matrix are "Rural Community" and "Transit Corridor." Due to a request by the County of San Diego
planning staff for consistency with current planning efforts in rural areas and due to the need for
clarification regarding the type of development within high-frequency transit corridors, SANDAG staff
proposes that the names of these place types be modified to "Rural Village" and "Mixed Use Transit
Corridor." These revisions would more clearly reflect the County's General Plan 2020 Update
terminology and the intent of the land use mix within the transit corridor place type.

ON DRAFT SMART GROWTH CONCEPT MAP AND THE
COMPREHENSIVE 2007 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
(RTP) UPDATE File Number 3000200
Introduction
On July 23, 2004, the SANDAG Board of Directors adopted the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) for
the San Diego region. The RCP provides an overall vision and policy framework for better connecting
transportation and land use within our region.
A key step in RCP implementation is the preparation of a Smart Growth Concept Map to identify specific
locations where smart growth development exists, is planned, or has the potential to exist in the future.
The map will be used in the update of the comprehensive 2007 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and
in determining eligibility to compete for the future TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP)
funding.
Earlier this month at its annual retreat, the SANDAG Board discussed the Smart Growth Concept Map
and the 2007 RTP update. As part of the public involvement effort, SANDAG will hold subregional
workshops this April on the draft Smart Growth Concept Map and the comprehensive 2007 RTP update.
A workshop schedule is attached for the Board's information (Attachment 1). The schedule, which
includes eight workshops during April, reflects input by the Regional Planning Committee and the
Regional Planning Technical and Stakeholders Working Groups. Workshop invitations will be mailed in
early March.
Board members, local planning commissioners, local planning and public works directors, and interested
stakeholders and residents are encouraged to attend and participate in the workshops.
Discussion
Focws of the Workshops
Over the past year, SANDAG staff, local planning directors, stakeholders, and the Regional Planning
Committee have prepared a Draft Smart Growth Concept Map. Working together, we have identified
approximately 200 existing, planned, and potential smart growth areas in the San Diego region, based on
land use and transportation targets included in the RCP. Because of the relationship between the Smart
Growth Concept Map and the comprehensive 2007 RTP update, SANDAG will hold a series of
subregional workshops this April on both of these topics concurrently.
lo
It is anticipated that the workshops will focus on generating greater public awareness of the links between
smart growth land uses and transportation choices, including transit, walking, and biking, and obtaining
public input on the resources and urban design elements necessary for successful smart growth
development. Staff is working with the Regional Planning and Transportation Committees and the
Regional Planning Technical and Stakeholders Working Groups to refine the format and content of the
workshops.
Board members and alternates are encouraged to attend the workshops in their subregion. In addition,
SANDAG is soliciting the opportunity to make presentations on the draft Smart Growth Concept Map to
each city council and the Board of Supervisors during March and early April in an effort to generate
awareness of the draft map and its links to the 2007 RTP update, and to promote attendance at the
workshops.

The 18 cities and the
county working through SANDAG
have an ambitious plan to better connect
transportation to jobs and homes in the San
Diego region. With broad support from residents,
community and business leaders, and the region's elected
officials, the SANDAG Regional Comprehensive Plan focuses
more of our growth and infrastructure investments in the urban
areas to better connect residents to the region's transportation
system and to preserve thousands of acres of open space.
Already, neighborhoods are benefiting from smart growth
investments. SANDAG has awarded $19 million to 14 smart growth
projects. Another $1 million is being awarded this spring for
habitat conservation.
SANDAG is now working with the cities and the county on a "Smart
Growth Concept Map" to identify locations that can support
smart growth and transportation investments. This map will
serve as the foundation for refining the regional transit
network and identifying other transportation needs in
the long-range Regional Transportation Plan.
