OF SAN BERNARDlh,.J - REQUE~( FOR COUNCIL ACT_ON STAFF REPORT Some years ago, the U.S. Air Force purchased the old Aerospace Building, on the southwest corner of Tippecanoe Avenue and Mill Street, to house their Ballistic Missile Operations ( BMO) . The Air Force inquired of the City, if it would be possible for Tippecanoe Avenue and Mill Street, adjacent to the BMO, to be vacated. This request was based upon the desire for the BMO complex to be included wi thin Norton Air Force Base perimeter. Inclusion of the BMO complex wi thin the base would improve security for this sensitive facility. After reviewing this request, it was determined that these streets could be vacated, contingent upon an adequate by-pass being constructed for through traffic. Several alternates for a by-pass were prepared by a local civil engineering firm. There was a general concensus that the one incorporating Central Avenue, Gifford Avenue, and construction of a new street from the terminus of Gifford Avenue to the intersection of Mill Street and Lena Road, was the best alternate. A map of this alternate is attached for reference. An analysis of traffic volumes in the area, and how they would be affected by the closure of these streets, has been conducted by the Traffic Engineering Section. This analysis indicates that the existing streets would operate at an acceptable level of service with the adjustments in current traffic volumes due to the closure of these streets. However, the by-pass for through traffic would be needed for future traffic. The Air Force and Inland Action have been going to Washington, D. C. for the past several years to request funds to construct the by-pass. While they have not been successful, the prospects appear good. Vacation proceedings will be initiated after the funds are secured to permanently close these portions of Tippecanoe Avenue and Mill Street. There are some private properties on the west side of Tippecanoe Avenue, between Central Avenue and BMO, and on the south side of Mill Street, between Lena Road and BMO. We will mail notices of the public hearing to these property owners. It is suggested that the City Clerk publish a block notice of the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation. Authori ty for a temporary street closure is granted by Section 21101 (a) of the California Vehicle Code, providing the legislative body, in their opinion, finds that the street is no longer needed for vehicular traffic. We recommend that a public hearing be set for 10:00 a.m. on 12-19-88. 11/15/88 7c;._n?~.d _/ ,r. Sce.e: 1 ""100' ~ ---- -. I-!
