Update Transportation System Management Plan for Nonresidential Projects

Measure

The County will review and update Section 5.9.6.F of the Zoning Code, which requires a Transportation System Management (TSM) Plan for qualifying projects, as specified in Section 5.9.6.F of the Zoning Code, to ensure that the ordinance is comprehensive, enforceable, and consistent with the GHG reduction target.​


​​​​​​​Not Started

The efforts for this measure have not started. ​

Implementation

The updated TSM Plan requirements will define the minimum trip generation requirements for new nonresidential development projects and include a monitoring and reporting mechanism to demonstrate ongoing compliance and ensure enforcement. Considerations when reviewing and updating the TSM Plan requirements should include:​

  • project types and sizes required to implement a TSM Plan;​

  • development of a preferred/most effective set of TSM measures for developers to choose from;

  • development of monitoring and reporting requirements that developers or property owners would be responsible for submitting to the County on an annual basis; and

  • identification of County division responsible for reviewing annual progress reporting of individual projects.

​Additionally, the TSM Plans shall be sent to SacRT for review and comment prior to approval.​​
