Home My WebLink AboutPC RES 3968 RESOLUTION NO. 3968 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 05-001 TO ESTABLISH A COLLECTOR ARTERIAL DESIGNATION AND TO RECLASSIFY EL CAMINO REAL BETWEEN FIRST STREET AND NEWPORT AVENUE FROM A SECONDARY ARTERIAL TO A COLLECTOR ARTERIAL. The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That in November 1997, the City, in coordination with the Orange County Transportation Authority (aCTA), approved a demonstration project to reduce the number of travel lanes on EI Camino Real between Second Street to Sixth Street (one block south of First Street and west of Newport Avenue) from a four-lane undivided Secondary Arterial street to a two-lane undivided collector street with diagonal parking along both sides of the street. B. That following the success of the demonstration project and the preparation of a traffic study, the aCTA approved an amendment to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) to change the status of the street segment of EI Camino Real between First Street and Newport Avenue from a four-lane secondary arterial to a two-lane local collector roadway. C. That the proposed General Plan Amendment would similarly reflect the two- lane collector status of the roadway on the City's Circulation Element and ensure consistency between the City's General Plan and aCTA's MPAH. D. That General Plan Amendment 05-001 will achieve consistency with the MPAH designation. E. That General Plan Amendment 05-001 will reflect the existing and future traffic levels on the roadway segment. F. That General Plan Amendment 05-001 will ensure consistency between the roadway and the adjacent land uses by supporting the pedestrian-friendly character of the Old Town commercial district. G. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application on April 11, 2005, by the Planning Commission. H. That General Plan Amendment 05-001 is consistent with and implements the following policies of the General Plan: Resolution No. 3968 Page 2 Circulation Element Policy 1.3: Coordinate roadway improvements with applicable regional, state, and federal transportation plans and proposals. Circulation Element Policy 1.14: Enhance the important role that streetscapes play in defining the character of the City by expanding street planning and design procedure to include aesthetic and environmental concerns, as well as traffic considerations. Develop a circulation system which highlights environmental amenities and scenic areas. Circulation Element Policy 3.1: Support the completion of the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Land Use Element Policy 8.8: Maintain and improve, where necessary, the City's infrastructure and facilities. II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment 05-001 to establish a collector arterial designation and to reclassify EI Camino Real between First Street and Newport Avenue from a secondary arterial to a collector arterial as identified in Exhibit A attached hereto. JOH IELSEN ß' ~ . Chairperson ~~7L ~~ ELIZABETH A. BINSÁCK Planning Commission Secretary PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of meeting on the 11th day of April, 2005. STATE OF CALIFORNIA) COUNTY OF ORANGE) CITY OF TUSTIN ) I, ELIZABETH A. BINSACK, the undersigned, hereby certify that I am the Planning Commission Secretary of the City of Tustin, California; that Resolution No. 3968 was duly passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission, held on the 11th day of April, 2005. ~~¿~¿- ELIZABETH A. BINSACK Planning Commission Secretary EXHIBIT A OF RESOLUTION NO. 3968 Secondary: A four-lane undivided roadway, with a typical right-of-way width of 80 feet and a curb-to-curb pavement width' of 64 feet. These roadways serve as collectors, distributing traffic between local streets, and major and primary arterials. For the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, 80-foot right-of-way was modified to a 92-foot right-of-way to provide a painted median for two-way left turn lanes and Class n bicycle lanes. !;&llector: A two-laneun~ roadway, with a minimum right-of-way width of 66 feet and a minimum curb-to-curb width of 50 feet. The width may be increased to accommodate roadway features such as bicycle lanes, on- street parking, and turn lanes. At LOS "c," this road tyPe accommodates up to a~proximately 10,000 vehicle trips per day. This road functions as a collector facili tv, however it tends to move traffic between two arterials rather than between local streets, it has been added to the City's arterial highway system because it provides network continuity and is regionallv significant, and may serve through traffic demand where projected volumes do not warrant a higher classification such as Secondary. The Circulation Element roadway classification system does not include private streets. Private street widths and cross-sections will vary from those described for roadways in this Element. Standard cross-sections represent the obvious and accepted answer to most situations. However, the standard cross-sections do not always provide the best solution to any given'need or set of objectives. Reasonable flexibility and variety is provided for in the City's private street standards. Figure C-l shows schematic cross sections of each category of arterial roadway. These sections represent desirable standards, but variation in right- of-way width and specific road improvements will occur in certain cases due to physical constraints and/or right-of-way limitations. In particular, the median width in eight-lane, six-lane and four-lane roadways will vary according to the area being served and the available right-of-way constraints and turn lane requirements. Hence, any of the arterial classifications may deviate from the standards where physical constraints exist or where preservation of community character dictates special treatment. Bikeway facilities are another factor which affect the specific standards applied for various facilities. The desirable goal for every classified street section is that it carry the designed volume of traffic at the desired level of service. Within this requirement, descriptions of width and facilities are offered as basic guidelines and as noted above, variation in design is expected, depending on CITY OF TUSTIN GENERAL PLAN 20 CIRCULATION ELEMENT April 18, 2005 .', , w 72' 56' , ~ ~ 60' «' H ~ - ,-; I m 8.LANE MAJOR ARTERIAL 144' RfW m ~ 6-LANE MAJOR ARTERIAL no' RlW 50' 35' PH J L.

GENERAL PLAN CIRCULATION SYSTEM The goals and policies included in this Element emphasize the need for a circulation system that is capable of serving both existing and future residents while preserving community values and character. The location, design, and constituent modes of the circulation system have major impacts on air quality, noise, community appearance, and other elements of the environment. ' ' The highway network designated in the Arterial Highway Plan is illustrated in Figure C- 2, and indicates all of the designated Major arterials, Primary arterials, Secondary arterials, Collector arterials, and the sections of roadway designated for modified right- of-way or augmented capacity, Table C-5 provides an additional description of the Arterial Highway Plan links.
