ATTACHMENT B <br />PLATINUM PLANNING ELEMENTS <br />The Platinum Planning Program provides an organized structure for CAMPO'S Long -Range Planning <br />work. The program seeks to generate comprehensive and detailed multimodal planning at the local level <br />that will generate regionally significant benefits through projects and policies. The program aligns local <br />and regional planning through a progressive, integrated, and inclusive process. Plans completed as part of <br />this program meet shared goals and are inclusive of state of the practice elements consistent with 2040 <br />Regional Transportation Plan goals. Specifically, these plans will outline synergies between <br />transportation, land use, and other planning areas to better understand how the system performs. <br />Recommendations from plans completed through this program will inform future iterations of the Regional <br />Transportation Plan. <br />The Platinum Planning Program includes three spatial areas: <br />Subregions— Focuses on large areas across jurisdictional boundaries and travel sheds. These plans will <br />emphasize development of land use and transportation network scenarios that yield to a shared vision <br />across communities in the study area. Subregional efforts will also be inclusive of analysis and <br />recommendations for multiple corridors and centers (as described below), as well as other interstitial <br />areas. <br />Corridors — Focuses on mostly linear corridors and facilities across jurisdictional boundaries. These <br />plans will focus on projects specific to a principle corridor but also take into account adjacent and <br />intersecting facilities. Corridor planning will consider not only the context, form, and function of the <br />corridor but also how each corridor should perform as part of the larger system; specifically its <br />effectiveness at providing safe and efficient multimodal mobility between and access with -in centers. <br />Centers — Focuses on districts and areas of typically one square mile or less, but may also include <br />elements of corridor planning, particularly as corridors connect nodes. Centers plans will provide clear <br />guidance on how to develop vibrant mixed-use environments that possess the density, diversity and <br />design attributes that produce lower VMT, and support transit, bicycling, and walking. <br />Platinum Planning seeks to integrate: <br />1. Multi -modal and Mixed-use — Create connections to housing, jobs, and services through the <br />establishment of dynamic mixed-use environments, well-connected street grids, high-quality transit <br />options, as well as safe and useful pedestrian/bicycle accommodations. <br />2. Housing — Develop a mix of housing types and price points appropriate for the study area context <br />that provides living options that can accommodate a variety of incomes, abilities, and familial types. <br />3. Environment — Create a healthy environment that proactively protect and enhance air, water, land <br />and people. <br />4. Economic Development — Promote the economic competitiveness of the study area to yield positive <br />impacts on the local tax base, high-quality jobs, and community services. <br />5. Equity — Create positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes for all residents and <br />stakeholders in the study areas while minimizing adverse impacts. <br />San Marcos Platinum Planning Study <br />
