<br />5A (2) <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />(of each Chapter and Staff comments) <br /> <br />PENINSULA TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2010 <br /> <br />Chapter 1. Executive Summary (No comment) <br /> <br />Chapter 2. <br /> <br />Overview <br />Imoortant Issues: One sentence seems to sum up a known problem <br />within this County: "the fragmented and uncoordinated condition of <br />transportation planning in San Mateo County threatens to undermine the <br />optimal performance of the County's transportation network, and, in <br />particular, the efficiency of new transportation investments." <br /> <br />While this statement may be considered accurate, there is no <br />recommendation for remedying the situation, and this problem is not <br />discussed elsewhere in the Plan. Chapter 17 provides information relating <br />to the costs of transportation improvements and financing. <br /> <br />The "Plan" is an attempt to put all of the issues into a single document, so <br />that there might be better coordination Countywide. <br /> <br />Chapter 3. Setting (No comment) <br /> <br />Chapter 4. <br /> <br />Goals and Objectives <br />Imoortant Issues: The goals and objectives, as written, are very broad <br />and "lofty" (Mom and apple pie). The "Plan" may not provide the measures <br />to implement the goals. An example of such a goal is "reduce <br />congestion." The objectives do not show how improvement would be <br />measured. An example of an objective is "Reduce the dominance of the <br />automobile as a travel mode by reducing automobile travel demand." <br /> <br />Chapter 5. Land Use <br />Imoortant Issues: This chapter discusses all types of issues relating to <br />land use from local jurisdiction land use policies to revenue sharing. <br /> <br />);- Increased Land Use Densities. This chapter suggests that the removal <br />of regulatory barriers and the addition of density bonuses can provide <br />incentives for housing. As we have discovered, the present economic <br />market will eliminate housing if office use is an option. The only real <br />way to make housing viable is zoning for residential only, restricting <br />office density to a point where it is no longer the economic choice, or <br />substantial incentives for housing (increase densities, FAR's, and <br />height limits, decrease setbacks, fee exemptions, etc.). <br /> <br />-1- <br /> <br />., <br />
