What Does SCAG Do

4

The 1939 Inter-regional Highways Vision

“Who can say what new

horizons lie before us if we

but have the initiative and

imagination to penetrate

them--new economic

horizons-new social

horizons-new horizons in

many fields, leading to new

benefits for everyone,

everywhere.”

General Motors’ Futurama, 1939

New York World’s Fair

5

The 2009 SB 375 Transit Focused Vision

• Requires regional

Sustainable Communities

Strategy (SCS)

• Includes these three

related approaches

– Land use planning

– Transportation

policies

– Transportation

investments

Back to the Future!?!

7

SB 375 in a Nutshell

• Transportation Planning Requires California Air Resources

Board (CARB) to set regional greenhouse gas emission

targets by September 30, 2010

• Each region must incorporate its target in its Regional

Transportation Plan (RTP)

• Each region’s RTP must include a Sustainable Community

Strategy (SCS) or, in the alternative, adopt an Alternative

Planning Strategy (APS) that addresses the target

• Each region’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)

plan must be consistent with the development pattern in the

SCS, but not with an APS

8

AB 32 / SB 375

Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS)

RTP must now incorporate a SCS that will meet the regional Greenhouse Gas emission target

9

The SCS focuses on Transit Project Priority

areas and GHG reduction – 8 elements

1. Identify existing land use

2. Identify areas to accommodate long term housing

need

3. Identify areas to accommodate 8 year RHNA housing

need

4. Identify transportation need and planned network

5. Consider resource areas and farmland

6. Consider statutory housing goals and objectives

7. Future growth and development pattern

8. Comply with federal law for developing an RTP

SCAG/ RTP Housing Growth and

High Quality Transit Areas 2008 to 2035

Over [twice] as many households will live near high-quality transit

http://www.scagrtp.net/



12

Selected Highlights

•Spends $246 billion—nearly half the plan’s total revenue-- on public transportation

•Creates 60% more housing near transit than is currently available;

•Creates 4.2 million jobs in the region, 87% of all jobs will be ½ mile from transit

•Saves over 400 square miles of open space from development by shifting to a more walkable land use pattern for the region

13

Building a RHNA under SB 375

• Population and housing demand must be proportional to

employment growth

• The RHNA must be “consistent” with the SCS to house all

economic segments of the population and its

“development pattern” for the entire RTP and not just the

8 year housing element planning period

• The Local Housing Element update will be due 18 months

after the adoption of the Regional Transportation Plan

(RTP)/ SCS and 12 months after the RHNA is finalized

• Active public and local government engagement in the

RHNA begins with the issuance and development of the

SCS housing targets

How California is Integrating Planning for Transportation, Land Use, & Housing

American Planning Association Annual Conference

April 17, 2012

Los Angeles, California

California’s Transportation & Housing Planning Framework


Progression of separate functional laws, focused on housing & transportation laws

Statutory frameworks, backstop, w/incentives leveraging policy implementation

Traffic congestion, JHB issues, prompting regional and inter-regional planning

Technological advancement in modeling land use transportation relationships

Increased integration driven by climate change

SB 375 Implementation playing out, old/new tensions

Overview


Transportation

Regional planning movement of late 1970’s resulted in metropolitan planning organizations;

Major transportation resources controlled by State

Housing • Major housing resources federal • State fair share focus, roles for State, region, local

Regional plans… 1970s


Coordinated efforts of all public transportation providers, appropriate federal, state and local agencies, and environmental resource agencies for 25 year plans

Used to plan & program transportation projects, addressing air quality conformity

Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs)


Since 1970’s, CA Legislature & courts have repeatedly asserted housing as an issue of statewide concern.

State interest in an adequate supply of housing: * critical to state economy

* critical to well being of residents

* critical to protecting environment

Local control, but with State and regional involvement

State & Local Role In Housing


All communities are responsible for planning to accommodate both resident population and growth in new households that are expected to reside within the area

Adequate provision for housing needs of all

incomes, a.k.a. “fair share planning” including low and moderate income households, adjusting for overconcentration of lower income households

5th Cycle of housing planning updates underway

Major Housing Principles of State Law


Increase housing supply & mix of housing types, tenure & affordability

Promote infill development & socioeconomic equity,

protection of environmental & agricultural resources, & encouraging efficient development patterns

Promote improved intraregional jobs-housing

relationship Balance disproportionate household income

distributions

Housing Element Law’s Regional Housing Needs Allocations (RHNA) are to:


Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP)

Allocates need for additional housing units among cities and counties by household income distribution (before state income categories from census), adjusting for impaction of concentrations of lower-income households & identifies existing needs.


Regional Housing Needs Planning Plays Important Role

Accommodating shelter needs of growing population

Accommodating adequate and balanced housing supply for economic and employment growth

Providing appropriately zoned residential land to accommodate timely response of the housing industry to market conditions

Facilitating regulatory certainty for transparent and efficient residential permit processing

Planning for provision of housing assistance and regulatory incentives


RHNA sometimes controversial as it often involves

Accommodating growth

State involvement in local land use decision making

Increasing densities

Planning for affordable housing when its not desired

Substantial shortfalls in housing resulting in large gaps between projected need and recent production

Confronting competing policy objectives & constraints

Intergovernmental decision making


Housing Needs Assessment w/RHNA

Inventory of Resources including Land and Financing – Local government must zone sufficient land to address projected growth

Analyze Potential Governmental Constraints

Adopt Goals, Policies and Implementation Actions

Diligent effort to achieve Public Participation of all economic segments of the community (including low -mod households)

Annual Progress Reports/ Review & revise

Housing Element Law: Key Provisions since 1970’s


Redevelopment Law (until 2012)

State Density Bonus Law

Second Unit Law

Anti-NIMBY

No Net Residential Capacity Loss

Limited Conditional Use for Multifamily (MF) in MF Zones

Least Cost Zoning

Article 34 re: voter authorization & public housing

Fair Housing laws with land use provisions

Other State Housing

& Planning Laws (1980’s – 90’s)


• Threshold or rating & ranking factor for HCD-

administered housing & infrastructure loans & grants

• Requirements of State law for valid general plans, requiring vertical and horizontal consistency, buttressed by other State laws

State-certified Housing Elements


• Legislative proposals for regional government introduced, but not enacted.

• But, interactive technology advancement fostered…..

Mid- 1990’s – Increasing Regional Collaboration


In the past, existing or planned land-use designation generally accepted as given – baseline conditions were forecast to future

Recent experiments incorporate feedback from transportation to land-use & are interactive, modifying baseline forecasts

Allow communities to evaluate different future scenarios

Adjustments in traditional transportation modeling

Encourage higher rates of housing in jobs-rich areas

Encourage job development in proximity to current & future labor force

Mitigate the negative impacts of jobs/housing imbalances

Encourage integrated planning, incorporating housing, transportation, and the environment

Encourage transit-oriented development (TOD)

IRP Policy Goals


GIS-based scenario planning of alternative development patterns and effects

Use of electronic technology and variety of visual & broadcast media in engaging and broadening citizen participation

Experimentation with integrated land-use and transportation modeling, including regional monitoring of local land-use capacity

Internet-based mapping assistance in identifying infill development

IRP Planning Benefits


“Regional Blueprint Planning” Initiated in Prior Decade

Foster more efficient land use patterns

Better inform regional and local decision-making

Foster consensus on a regional vision & preferred land use pattern

Build capacity for regional collaboration and integrated planning

Enable regions to plan to accommodate all their future growth

Build awareness of/support for critical infrastructure & housing

Provide consumers more housing and transportation choices & planning for long-term housing supply . . . . . . .


Major Increase in Local Assistance Incentives

Voter-approved Propositions 2002 & 2006 for menu of State funding programs: Jobs- Housing Balance Grants Workforce Housing Grants Housing Related Parks Grants TOD Housing Program Infill Infrastructure Grants Multifamily rental & supportive

housing, homeownership, etc.

Grants rewarding affordable housing production relative to employment:


State Financing Programs Incorporating Land Use

HCD TOD Program &/or LIHTC Application Scoring For:

Increased Transit Ridership

Infill-designated Area

Coordinated Public Private Investment

Transit Supportive Land Uses

Walkable Corridor Features

Community Support


MPO Financing Programs Incorporating Land Use

Planning grants, e.g. SCAG’s Compass Blueprints

Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC) funds for transit oriented development-supportive capital projects, e.g., bike & ped., etc.

Proposed MTC “One Bay Area Grants” OBAG program: $320 M to CMAs for transportation, including RHNA and very low/low housing production in allocation formula

Local sales tax-based funds of MPOs (e.g. SANDAG) for implementing projects support


Latter Part of Decade ….

Onset of Climate Change -Related Focus


Relies in part on “getting people out of cars” to meet greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reduction targets

SB 375 (2008) amended State law to increase alignment and integration of transportation and housing, via “Sustainable Community Strategies” (SCS’)

SCS’ developed within regional transportation plans (RTPs) of MPOs, based on scenario planning, to meet GHG reduction targets for the transportation sector

2006 AB 32 Global Warming Solutions Act, Scoping Plan


Cabinet level committee for coordinating activities of State agencies to implement sustainable community objectives and AB 32 goals

Administers planning, modeling & urban greening grants

Strategic Growth Council


SB 375 Involves…

18 MPOs to adopt RTPs with a Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS), or an Alternative Planning Scenario (APS), to meet regional GHG targets

RTPs to include RHNA consistent with its land use assumptions of the SCS (SCS includes transportation network, densities, houses all population)

Rezoning of housing element sites accommodating RHNAs w/in 3 yrs., sanctions if not met

CEQA alternatives for qualifying projects consistent w/RTP or APS


Sustainable Communities Strategy of RTP

Sets forth a forecasted development pattern to achieve the regional GHG target if feasible, identifying land uses, including residential densities, within region

Identifies areas sufficient to house all of the population including all economic segments & must accommodate RHNA & State housing goals, including housing element updates

RTP Guidelines were updated following SB 375, include categories of modeling expectations for MPOs/RTPAs

SB 375 Changes to Housing Element Law

Revised the schedules & planning periods for housing element updates to correspond with updates of RTPs

Modified the corresponding RHNA schedule, methodology and process

Integrated the sequencing of RHNA and RTP including the Sustainable Communities Strategy

Altered the time and conditions for rezoning programs

Clarified program implementation schedule requirements


Regional GHG Targets 2020 & 2035

Air Resources Board adopted GHG emissions

reduction targets Sept. 2010 RHNA determines the minimum amount of

housing local governments must zone for – higher targets won’t drive more affordable housing than the RHNA with its density requirements

The RHNA distribution within each region is to be consistent with the development pattern of the RTP’s Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS)


Environmental Review benefits

• Transit Priority Projects (TPPs) may qualify for CEQA exemption for TPPs meeting numerous criteria and

• Consistent w/use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies for the project area in either a sustainable communities strategy (SCS)

• or an alternative planning strategy (APS) for which ARB has agreed the SCS or APS would achieve the regional GHG reduction target.


COG Allocates RHNA - Housing Element Land Inventory must accommodate RHNA Local Government Decides Where & How

Must identify current & proposed sites for residential development within planning period, which can be:

Undeveloped

Redevelopment or infill

Proposed for annexation

Mixed uses, Transit Oriented Development

Preservation with committed assistance


Tensions/Challenges

All housing needs cannot be met with infill alone, “fair share” distribution of housing not all served by transit

SCS’ w/less developable land > higher land values, driving . . . • Increase in housing prices outpacing

transportation savings • High development costs, making affordable

housing development even more difficult


Displacement Risk

A Boston Study of housing effects of increased transit corridor investment:

Found the most common pattern of neighborhood change after a rail transit investment: Housing stock becomes more

expensive Neighborhood residents become

wealthier Vehicle ownership becomes more

common

This pattern was magnified & accelerated where the residents around the stations were low-income renters.

Source: Maintaining Diversity in America’s Transit-Rich Neighborhoods: Tools for Equitable Neighborhood Change, Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy , Northeastern University, Boston, MA, October 2010.


• Depletion of financial resources, budget woes at all

levels of government & private sector

• Prolonged recession & recovery of housing market

• Persistent resistance to higher densities, affordable housing

• Regulatory streamlining

• Consistency determinations re: SCS’ – by whom, on what basis

Plan Implementation Challenges


Implementation Challenges . . .

Environmental Justice Issues….

Increasing research indicating adverse health effects from exposure to traffic emissions

Restriction of housing proximate to transportation corridors may limit the ability of strategies to implement SCS development patterns with infill housing, and active transportation policies


Study of State Smart Growth Policies Suggested . . .

. . . if smart growth programs are to have a positive impact on housing affordability or avert a negative impact from constraints on the land market,

they must explicitly require the production of housing for low- and moderate-income households, rather than merely plan for it or ignore it completely.

Smart Growth Policies: An Evaluation of Programs and Outcomes, Ingram, Gregory K., Armando Carbonell, Yu-Hung Hong, Anthony Flint, Lincoln Institute, May 2009, p. 86


Smart Growth Outcomes - MD

A 2011 study of Maryland’s Smart Growth Program concluded:

“Maryland has not made substantial progress toward improving its performance in many of the areas pertaining to smart growth.”

In a subsequent stakeholder survey of the effectiveness of

Maryland's Priority Funding Areas (PFAs) and barriers to growth within PFAs, most respondents thought PFAs are only somewhat effective or not effective at all.
