4 APA California 2016 Conference • PASADENA Welcome from the Conference Chairs

WELCOME TO PASADENA On behalf of the Conference Host Committee we would like to welcome you to the 2016 American Planning Association California Planning Conference. We proudly welcome planning professionals from across the state to Pasadena, a city famous for events Meghna Khanna, Melani Smith and Kevin Keller, 2016 California State Conference Co-Chairs like the Tournament of Roses, not to mention the Rose Bowl, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the California Institute of Technology (better known as Caltech)

Pasadena’s approach to planning & development is to preserve its historic character while embracing the future. Our conference theme, “Crafting our Future - The Art of Planning” references the spectacular Arts and Crafts legacy of the City embodied in its fine architecture. The Craftsman style was perfected by Green and Greene and is embodied in the famous Gamble House in Pasadena, among other landmark buildings. The City’s historic City Hall is a fine example of the California Mediterranean style.

Nestled beneath the mountains, flaunting sun-drenched rose gardens, and showcasing turn-of- the-century architecture, Pasadena is a unique and unforgettable city. Explore the many other neighborhoods in Pasadena where you will find a city enlivened by sidewalks bursting with shops, restaurants, theaters, museums, great architecture, and people. Discover the surrounding cities and towns connected by the 31-mile Gold Line running from Azusa to East Los Angeles via Downtown Los Angeles serving several attractions, each with their own distinct character and activity. More than 150 sessions and mobile workshops afford you the opportunity to learn about planning lessons from Pasadena and beyond. With mobile workshops from Pasadena to Long Beach, you have the opportunity to experience one of the most historic, yet progressive, areas in California. History and innovation, economic development and neighborhood preservation, sports and entertainment, food and shopping, Pasadena offers it all.

We hope you have a great time exploring the City of Pasadena and its surrounding communities as you are inspired and surround yourself with passionate people who love planning.

Welcome to Pasadena! One of my favorite sitcoms is The Big Bang Theory . The show is centered on the characters living and working in Pasadena. Through humor and wit, Pasadena is a special place not only for them, but in real life for all of us.

14 APA California 2016 Conference • PASADENA Sustainability

Pasadena Convention Center Because of its commitment to environmental responsibility, the expanded Pasadena Convention Center has been awarded the highly coveted LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council. Pasadena Convention Center’s Go Green Initiatives • High-efficiency lighting and equipment, including LED technology. • Automated building control systems. • Aggressive convention and operational recycling program. • Drought-resistant landscaping. • A new, energy-efficient central plant ensures the larger facility operates without adding to Southern California’s electrical grid. • The expansion project is designed to perform 32 percent better than California’s energy efficiency standards. • Incentives for employees using public transportation. • Water-conserving restroom fixtures are predicated to reduce water.

Sheraton Pasadena Part of Starwood Hotels and Resorts With a triple-bottom line approach in mind, we are committed to finding innovative ways to do more with less in a manner that makes business sense for the company. We are helping to drive sustainability efforts and build resilience by thinking about our buildings and business in a way that is agile and flexes with the changing needs of our guests, the environment and communities in which we are operating. Goals • 30/20 by 20: a 30% reduction in energy and 20% reduction in water consumption per built hotel room by 2020 • A 30% reduction in GHG emissions per built hotel room by 2020 Approach We measure progress against these goals at all our properties by asking all owned, managed and franchise hotels and corporate offices to report on their total energy and water consumption. To meet these goals, we are implementing a three-part approach: foundational efficiency measures, capital expenditures and product/technology innovation, to develop wide-ranging operational and systems initiatives that make economic sense. Sustainability Integration Our focus also goes beyond energy, water and emissions reduction. In our annual reporting survey, we gather information from our properties on their water risks, waste impact, environmental best practices and certifications. Through our Global Citizenship intranet, our associates can learn how to focus on sustainable food & beverage, provide guests and meeting planners with their carbon footprint using the Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative, view LEED and green building roadmaps and participate in waste minimization programs such as Clean The World. Stragic Partnerships Above property, we are developing strategic partnerships to provide our hotels with renewable energy sources, biodiversity improvement projects and landfill diversion programs, creating innovative development models to build resilience into future properties, and working on a Hotel of the Future to integrate sustainable thinking into our processes, procedures, and business decisions – because it is our responsibility to create a better world for our guests and associates to experience.

The Big Misconception - Print Isn’t Green This program and other materials are printed on recycled paper using non-toxic ink. • Being green does NOT mean using digital communication instead of print. • 63.5% of all paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling in 2010. Paper recovery for recycling has increased by 77% since 1990. • Printed products are a RENEWABLE RESOURCE. Once a printed product has served its purpose, it reenters the cycle as a new product. • All of the items Arrow Printing produces for the APA California Conference are printed on paper that has a recycled content. All of the paper that is excess of loss in production at their facility is saved in special recycle bins and is recovered for recycling. 15 APA California 2016 Conference • PASADENA Donate to CPF

The "Arroyos and Foothills" bus tour will be led by local planners and offered on both Saturday to provide participants with an overview of Pasadena, Northeast Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Valley. This tour will focus on the intriguing past, present, and future of Pasadena and its neighboring communities, including San Gabriel, Altadena, Highland Park, San Marino, and more. Notable points of interest along the tour route will include: • Rose Bowl – Set in the beautiful Arroyo Seco at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Rose Bowl is one of the most famous sporting venues in the country. Built in 1922, it is a designated National Historic Landmark that has a storied place in American sports, most notably as host to the annual New Year’s Day Rose Bowl football game. • Mission San Gabriel – Founded in 1771, the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel was established as the 4th of 21 Spanish missions in California and is located in the present day city of San Gabriel. The San Gabriel Mission Church was built of cut stone, brick and mortar (1791-1805), and is the oldest structure of its kind south of Monterey. • Santa Anita Park – Santa Anita Park is a world-renowned thoroughbred racetrack located in the city of Arcadia. Dating to the early 1900s, Santa Anita played a pioneering role in early horse racing in California, and later became infamous as the largest Assembly Center for Japanese American internment during World War II. Due to its architectural and historical significance, the 300-acre site has been identified as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. • Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension – Opened in March 2016, the Foothill Extension of the Gold Line light rail corridor added six new stations and more than 11 miles of track to Los Angeles County’s growing Metro Rail system. The extension links the San Gabriel Valley foothill cities of Azusa, Irwindale, Duarte, Monrovia, and Arcadia with major employment centers in Pasadena and Downtown Los Angeles. With the completion of this long-awaited extension, and the Metro Expo Line extension to Santa Monica in May 2016, the Metro Rail network has expanded to now include 86 stations across nearly 100 miles of track.

209/210 #4 SB 743 Implementation: The Evolution from LOS to VMT Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) requires sweeping changes on how communities assess transportation impacts under CEQA. Since SB 743 was passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, it has been subject to much debate and discussion throughout the State of California. The Governor’s Office of Planning & Research, APA, ULI, and other organizations have hosted numerous meetings and outreach events to discuss SB 743. Rather than continue this debate, this session will focus on how jurisdictions, consultants, and private developers can implement SB 743 in a variety of settings, including urban, suburban, and rural locations. Presenters will discuss the SB 743 guidelines and how lead agencies can respond. They will also share implementation experience from urban and rural communities, including the City of Pasadena, which recently implemented VMT as a key transportation indicator through their General Plan Update. The session will conclude with a presentation by an environmental consultant who will discuss how environmental documents will need to evolve to address the requirements of SB 743.

36 APA California 2016 Conference • PASADENA The California Chapter of the American Planning Association is pleased to announce the three winners of Great Places in California for 2016. A Great Place in California is one that exemplifies character, quality, and excellent planning. It can be anywhere from the beach to the mountains, from a large city to a small community. It can be a vibrant downtown, a suburban gathering place, a historic small town, a public park, or preserved open space. Most important, it must be a place where people want to be!

Congratulations to the 2016 Great Places in California Winners! Mission Plaza, San Luis Obispo Mission Plaza is an extraordinary urban space that preserves and connects residents and visitors to the historic Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa and the natural environ-ment – all in the midst of a vibrant – downtown. The plaza is bordered on the north by the beautiful white stucco parish, and to the south by San Luis Creek. The creekwalk extends about 1/3 of a mile, from Chorro to Broad Street. It is a fine place for a quiet walk in the heart of downtown. Tall shade trees line the creek and the plaza. Large boulders invite children to play along the water’s edge. Two pedestrian bridges connect the Plaza with walkways along the creek and adjacent businesses. Mission Plaza is a safe, welcoming environment busy and active with informal use by children and adults, locals and visitors, all year long, playing in the fountain, relaxing on benches, walking along the creek, pushing babies in strollers, sitting with friends on the grass, or enjoying the patio at one of the restaurants overlooking the creek. recreation. Downtown Truckee Known as the “heart and soul” of Truckee, historic downtown Truckee provides a place for locals and visitors alike to enjoy unique shops, eclectic restaurants, and beautiful art galleries, all set in charming historic buildings with magnificent views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. Recent infill and streetscape projects, guided by the current general plan have been key in turning Truckee from a pass- through town on the way to Lake Tahoe, into a destination unto itself. Down-town Truckee also serves as the communal “living room” for the local residents, a place for major community events such as Truckee Thursdays, the Iron Man – Lake Tahoe triathlon, the local high school parade, Wine Walk and Shop, and the player’s parade to kick-off the Little League season.

Dry Creek Trailhead, Clovis The Dry Creek Trailhead is a three-acre community recreation area that encourages alternative transportation, promotes healthy living, and protects natural resources. The Trailhead provides access to the regional trail system and serves as a “hub” to provide connection to downtown Clovis, local transit, recreational destinations, and the adjacent City of Fresno. Its location adjacent to the Enterprise canal, Big Dry Creek, and orchards/farmland capitalizes on the educational opportunities provided by the natural qualities of the areas as well as the history of the Central Valley. Key features of the Trailhead include drought-tolerant landscaping, a storm waste retention system, and reduced construction and operational costs with a focus on conservation and water management. The Trailhead also serves as a safe meeting place to treasure the beautiful environment and take in the “farmland” atmosphere. Its park-like features encourage the community to walk and bike for recreation as well as active transportation. 37 APA California 2016 Conference • PASADENA APA California
