TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director I Prepared by: Lubomir Tomaier, Associate Civil Engine ,r Chris Ludlum, Management Analyst SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6298 accepting an easement from the Foothill Transit,a joint powers authority, to the City of Arcadia SUMMARY: _ Foothill Transit is currently constructing a new transit facility on the border of Arcadia and Irwindale. Since the City of Arcadia's water system is the only system serving this area, staff required Foothill Transit to install a water service line that will be owned and maintained by the City of Arcadia. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6298 accepting the easement deed from the Foothill Transit to the City of Arcadia for and the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, and use the waterline and appurtenant structures and consent to the recordation of said deed. 1 DISCUSSION: j The new Foothill Transit facility currently under construction adjacent to Peck Road will require a large volume of water once it is operational. The City of Arcadia is the closest water provider to this facility. As such, staff required Foothill Transit to install a looped waterline through the facility that will be owned and maintained by the City. Foothill Transit installed the waterline pursuant to City specifications. Staff reviewed the pipeline alignment, location, and accessibility of appurtenances for maintenance. The attached easement documents and legal description were prepared by Foothill Transit to provide the City legal access at the facility for maintenance of the waterline. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6298 accepting the easement deed from the Foothill Transit to the City of Arcadia for and the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, and use water line and appurtenant structures and consent to the recordation of said deed. • 'LASER IMAGE.

FISCAL IMPACT: No Impact. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 6298 accepting the easement deed from the Foothill Transit to the City of Arcadia for and the right to construct, reconstruct, maintain, operate, and use a waterline and appurtenant structures within the Foothill Transit Facility and consent to the recordation of said deed. 2.

Wray, City Engineer pRitj SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 6305 APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO T E CIRCULATION AND TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT SUMMARY The City recently conducted a Transportation Master Plan study to evaluate future growth in the City, identify existing and future transportation deficiencies and recommend circulation system changes and future transportation improvements. he Development Services Department is recommending an amendment to the City's General Plan Circulation and Transportation element to reflect the recommendations of the Transportation Master Plan. The recommendation for approval includes (1) ew names for the Circulation System Street designations; (2) the change of designation for eleven streets from the previous plan; (3) an updated circulation system map with new street designations and eleven street designation changes, and (4) a revision to the Circulation and Transportation section text to identify the changes and the fufiure deficiencies. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on April 23, 2002 and adopted Resolution 1668 recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment. BACKGROUND The City's General Plan Circulation and Transportation Element is intended to assure that the City's street system has the capability of accommodating traffic associated with the General Plan Land Use Element. In other words, the street system is expected to match traffic growth generated by the development of the City's Land Use Plan. For this reason, the Circulation and Transportation Element is occasionally revisited to determine if any updates are advisable. A Transportation Master Plan study II�vas completed last year that examined the City's arterial and collector street systerh to determine any existing or potential future deficiencies. The study looked at the circulation system network as a whole and at twenty-three (23) critical intersec ions within the network. The results of the study and its recommendations are outlin d in the attached documents. MNG9 LLA R " t2t. 7-- , Mayor and City Council General Plan Circulation and Transportation Element Amendment June 4, 2002 • Page 2 PROPOSAL Based on the Transportation Master Plan study, four changes are proposed as follows: 1. New Names for Circulation System Street Designations (Exhibit "A") Currently, the Circulation and Transportation section of the General Plan designates the major streets as divided or undivided and by numbers of lanes. The generally accepted industry standards for master plan street designations are major arterial, primary arterial, secondary arterial and collector. The City proposes to use these designations to define its circulation system. Exhibit "A" (Table 3-1) sets forth the new designations consistent with the industry standard. This table is recommended to be incorporated into the General Plan. A comparison chart is provided on Exhibit "E' to show the relationship between the previous designations and the new ones. Exhibits "F" and "G" show the street cross-sections. 2. Eleven Street Designation Changes (Exhibit "B") Street designation changes are proposed for eleven streets for various reasons. Exhibit B provides the detail and the reasons for the eleven street changes. 3. Revised Circulation System Map (Exhibit "C") A new Circulation System Map has been prepared that incorporates the new name designations identified in Exhibit "A", and the eleven street changes identified in Exhibit "B" 4. General Plan Circulation & Transportation Section Text revisions (Exhibit "D") The General Plan text has been revised to incorporate the new street designation names (exhibit "A") and the new map (exhibit "C"). These exhibits are attached and referred to as the "General Plan Circulation and Transportation Element Amendment". DISCUSSION As outlined in the General Plan Circulation and Transportation Element Text Amendment, staff is recommending, based on the results and findings of the study, certain changes to the General Plan. The arterial and collector designations will help to define the functional classification of the street network. For example, the function of an arterial is to carry through-traffic with limited local access. The sub classifications Mayor and City Council General Plan Circulation and Transportation Element Amendment June 4, 2002 Page 3 . help to define the intended traffic volumes based on design characteristics, such as numbers of lanes and with or without medians. The function of a collector is to provide both land access and traffic circulation linking residential, commercial and indus rial areas to the arterials. For the most part, these changes and the additional informa pion in the table are intended to better define the physical dimensions of the various str ets rather than make significant changes to the system. The text amendment also _ identifies five intersections that will fall below the accepted level of service standard D with future development. The Level of Service is a technical term, which helps define the performance ratings of the intersections. The Transportation Master Plan identifies certain enhancements to these intersections that will restore acceptable levels of service to comply with the City's Level of Service goals as outlined in the existing General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development Services Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed General flan amendment. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substa InItial Iti adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the prd'ect including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of histo ical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this General Plan amendment. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration and Resolution 6305, approving the proposed Circulation and Transportation Amendment to the General Plan. Approved By: l William R.
