RESOLUTION 1522 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN CHANGE 95-001 PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT AND PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT AS PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DOWNTOWN 2000 PLAN WHEREAS, this General Plan Change was initiated by the City to amend the Circulation Element and the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan to provide implementation of the City's Downtown 2000 Plan by redesignating First Avenue as a "Collector Street" between Duarte Road and Foothill Boulevard; adding descriptions to the Circulation Element for "Major Arterial", "Secondary Arterial", "Collector Street" and Local Street" and in the Parks and Recreation Element, rerouting the bikeway on First A venue between California Street and Colorado Boulevard, WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on January 24, 1995 at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY RESOL YES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1, That the factual data submitted by the Development Services Department in the attached report is true and correct, Section 2, This Commission finds that the proposed general plan changes to the Circulation Element and the Parks and Recreation Map provide for consistency between the General Plan and the adopted Downtown 2000 Plan Section 3. This Commission recommends the following: 1. That the Circulation Map in the General Plan be amended to reflect First Avenue between Duarte Road and Foothill Boulevard as a "Collector Street" (see attached Exhibit A), and 2, That the existing bikeway on First Avenue as shown on the Parks and Recreation Facilities Map in the General Plan be amended per attached Exhibit B. 3, That the following descriptions shall be added to the Circulation Element: -1- 1522 . . . Major Arterial The "major arterial" street system serves the primary activity centers of the City, carries most of the trips entering and leaving the city, as well as most of the through movements bypassing the central city, Frequently, the major arterial system carries important intra-urban as well as inter-city bus routes, For major arterials, service to abutting land is subordinate to travel service to major traffic movements, SecondaIY Arterial The "secondary arterial" street system interconnects with aI\d augments the major arterial system, The secondary arterial generally places more emphasis on land access than the major arterial does and offers lower traffic mobility, This system distributes travel to geographic areas smaller than those identified with the major arterial and may carry local bus routes but generally does not penetrate neighborhoods, Both major and secondary arterials are expected to provide a high degree of mobility for the longer trip length, Both carry traffic of local and collector streets to and from freeways and other major streets, with controlled intersections, Although direct access to properties may be provided, it is not their major function and some degree of access control is desirable to enhance mobility, Collector Street The collector street system provides both land access service and traffic circulation within residential neighborhoods and commercial and industrial areas, The collector street is for traffic moving between arterial and local streets, generally providing direct access to properties. It differs from arterial systems in that streets on the collector system may penetrate residential neighborhoods, distributing trips from the arterials through the area to their ultimate destinations, Conversely, the collector street also collects traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channels it into the arterial system, The collector street system may also'carry local bus routes, -2- 1522 . . . Collector streets serve a dual function in accommodating the shorter trip and feeding the arterials, They must provide some degree of mobility and also serve abutting property, Local Street The local street system comprises all streets not identified as an arterial or collector street, It primarily permits direct access to abutting properties and connections to arterial and collector streets and usually contains no bus routes, Service to through-traffic movement usually is deliberately discouraged, Local streets have relatively short trip lengths, and because property access is their main function, there is little need for mobility or high operating speeds, Section 5, The decision and findings contained in this Resolution reflect the Commission's action of January 24, 1995 and the following vote: A YES: Commissioners Bell, Huang, Kalemkiarian, Kovacic, Murphy NOES: Commissioners Clark and Daggett ABSENT: None Section 5, The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia, I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 28 day of February, 1995 by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Commissioners Bell, Huang, Kalemkiarian, Kovacic, Murphy Commissioners Clark and Daggett None Isl Robert Daggett Chairman, Planning Commission City of Arcadia ATTEST: Isl Donna L.

STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT COMMUNI1Y DEVELOPMENT DIVISION = January L'l, 1~~~ TO: Chairman and Members of the Arcadia City Planning Commission FROM: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment GP 95-001 - Proposed Amendments to the Circulation and Recreation Elements SUMMARY This application was initiated by the Development Services Department to amend the Circulation Element and Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan to accommodate the implementation of the Downtown 2000 Plan. The proposed amendments relate to the following: Circulation Element . Redesignate First Avenue from a "Secondary Arterial" to a "Collector Street" between Duarte Road and Foothill Boulevard, . Add descriptions for "Major Arterial", "Secondary Arterial", "Collector Street" and "Local Street" to the Circulation Element, Parks and Recreation Element Rerouting the bikeway on First Avenue between California Street and Colorado Boulevard as illustrated on the Parks and Recreation Element Map, The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the proposed changes, BACKGROUND On October 11, 1994, the City Council approved the Downtown 2000 Streetscape Concept Plan for Huntington Drive between Santa Clara Street and Fifth Avenue and First Avenue between Wheeler Avenue and California Street, An integral part of the Downtown 2000 plan are the following modifications to First Avenue which facilitate the proposed General Plan changes set forth in this report: . . . · Landscape" 'bowouts wi:: be constructed at the corners of Wheeler Avenue, Huntington Drive and Aita, Bonita and California Streets, . First Avenue will be reconfigured to provide two travel lanes instead of four, . The existing On-street parallel parking will be replaced with curbside angled parking on both sides of First Avenue from a point just south of Huntington Drive to California Street, . The sidewalk areas will be improved with landscaping, street furniture and pedestrian lighting, . The "Stop" signs at the existing intersections of Alta, Bonita and California Streets will be modified from two-way stops to four-way stops, The proposed improvements to First Avenue impact the current designation of First Avenue as a "Secondary Arterial" in the Circulation Element and could affect the bikeway as shown on the Parks and Recreation Map. As part of the Downtown 2000 Streetscape Project, a traffic, circulation and parking study has been completed by Associated Transportation Engineers (ATE), The study recommends that First Avenue within the project area should be reclassified as a "collector street" and that "the traffic diversion and level of service analyses,..shows that reclassifying First Avenue as a collector street in the downtown area would not significantly impact the Arcadia street system," The report also notes that: "Given the proposed geometries, bicycle use on this corridor [First Avenue between California Street and Huntington Drive) should be discouraged," PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The Development Services Department is recommending the following additions and changes to the General Plan: Circulation Element In several parts of the Circulation Element there is discussion relating to "major arterials", "secondary arterials" and "collector streets", however, there is no description or definition of what these terms mean in the element, The Development Setvices Department is recommending that the following descriptions be included in the General Plan Circulation Element. The descriptions are simplified versions of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official's definitions as set forth in their Geometric Design of GP 95-001 January 24, 1995 Page 2 . . . Highway and Streets, The proposed descriptions will enable those who utilize the Gen~ral Plan. ro better understand the identified street system within the City, Major Arterial The "major arterial" street system serves the primary activity centers of the City, carries most of the trips entering and leaving the city, as well as most of the .through movements bypassing the central city, Frequently, the major arterial system carries important intra-urban as well as inter-city bus routes. For major arterials, service to abutting land is subordinate to travel service to major traffic movements, Secondary Arterial The "secondary arterial" street system interconriects with and augments the major arterial system, The secondary arterial generally places more emphasis on land access than the major arterial does and offers lower traffic mobility, This system distributes travel to geographic areas smaller than those identified with the major arterial and may carry local bus routes but generally does not penetrate neighborhoods, Both major and secondary arterials are expected to provide a high degree of mobility for the longer trip length. Both carry traffic of local and collector streets to and from freeways and other major streets, with controlled intersections, Although direct access to properties may be provided, it is not their major function and some degree of access control is desirable to enhance mobility, Collector Street The collector street system provides both land access service and traffic Circulation within residential neighborhoods and commercial and industrial areas. The collector street is for traffic moving between arterial and local streets, generally providing direct access to properties. It differs from arterial systems in that streets on the collector system may penetrate residential neighborhoods, distributing trips from the arterials through the area to their ultimate destinations. Conversely, the collector street also collects traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channels it into the arterial system. The collector street system may also carry local bus routes. Collector streets serve a dual function in accommodating the shorter trip and feeding the arterials. They must provide some degree of mobility and also serve abutting property, GP 95-001 January 24, 1995 Page 3 Local Street . '''''. . The local street system comprises all streets not identified as an arterial or collecto: street. It primarily permits direct access to abutting properties and connections to arterial and collector streets and usually contains no bus routes, Service to through-traffic movement usually is deliberately discouraged, Local streets have relatively short trip lengths, and because property access is their main function, there is little need for mobility or high operating speeds, The above descriptions will be included in the text of the Circulation Element. Reducing First Avenue to two lanes between Huntington Drive and California Street and the addition of the new stops signs at the corners of Alta, Bonita and California Streets will reduce travel mobility on First Avenue, Based upon the above descriptions, the traffic study by ATE and as a result of the proposed redesign of First Avenue, it is the Development Services Department recommendation that First Avenue be reclassified as a "collector street" and that the General Plan Circulation Map be revised to reflect this change (see attached existing Circulation map Exhibit A). Parks and Recreation Element . The Parks and Recreation Element notes that: "while bicycle routes are part of the City's recreational network, they are also an important segment of the City's circulation system. Existing and future bike routes should be integrated into the major circulation network to provide access to major destination points and to insure maximum saf~," . There are numerous unsigned bikeway systems in the City which are identified on the Parks and Recreation Map of the General Plan (Exhibit B), There is an existing bikeway which extends north on First Avenue between Diamond Street and Colorado Boulevard, It is the Development Services Department's opinion that the angle parking on First Avenue could create a potential conflict between bicyclists and vehicles. Staff is recommending that the bikeway be rerouted to Second Avenue as shown on the attached Parks and Recreational Facilities Map (Exhibit B) which staff feels is a safer route than the proposed realignment of First Avenue, CEOA Pursuant to the prOVISIOns of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Community DeVelopment Division has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the . project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects GP 95~OOl January 24, 1995 Page 4 . . . of historical 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 project, RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of General Plan Change 95-001 as set forth above, FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval If the Planning Commission intends to take action to approve this proposed General Plan Change, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the change will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the specific findings and recommendations as set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the Commission), Denial If the Planning Commission intends to take action to deny this General Plan Change, the Commission should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and findings in support of that decision, Should the Planning Commission have any questions regarding this application prior to the scheduled public hearing, please contact Donna Butler at your earliest convenience, Approv~ by: -7 .i0:~~k~;;=-- , l.; .
