ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ADOPTING AN OVERLAY ZONE IMPOSING DESIGN GUIDELINES AND DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK UPON AN AREA DESIGNATED AS CENTRAL CITY SOUTH STUDY AREA. THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO . DO,ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Recitals. A. The Mayor and Common Council have reviewed, considered, and received public comments upon the proposed design guidelines and development framework for the Central City South Study Area of the City of San Bernardino, California, as prepared by U.R.S. Corporation, Anil Verma Associates, and Solstice Design Associates. These proposed design guidelines and development 13 framework cover the area bounded on the north by the center line 14 15 16 17 18 19 W 2] ~ ~ 24 25 26 27 of Rialto Avenue~ on the east by the center line of .E. Street~ on the south by the center line of Inland Center Drive; and on the west by the east right of way line of the Interstate Highway I-215. B. The Mayor and Common Council have determined that there is a need to upgrade the design standards and the development framework throughout the area described in Recital A above. C. The area which is the subject of this overlay zone is blighted and the proposed design guidelines and development framework will be an asset to the community by upgrading the area both aesthetically and economically. SECTION 2. The Mayor and Common Council hereby adopt an overlay zone imposing design guidelines and development framework 28 for the Central City South Study Area. The boundaries of the 1 ~ /~ o o o o o o o 1 Central City South Study Area covered by this Ordinance are 2 hereby established as follows: 3 Beginning at the point of intersection of the center line 4 of Rialto Avenue with the easterly right .of way line of I~terstate Highway I-2l5, which, is the .point of 6eginning., 5 6 thence proceeding easterly along said center line of Rialto 7 Avenue to the center line of .E. Street; thence in a generally 8 southerly direction along the center line of .E. Street to the 9 point of intersection with the center line of Inland Center 10 Drive; thence in a generally southwesterly direction, along the center line of Inland Center Drive to its intersection with the 11 12 easterly right of way line of Interstate Highway I-215~ thence 13 northerly along the easterly right of way line of Interstate 14 Highway I-2l5 to the point of beginning. 15 All property within the boundaries hereinabove described 16 shall be subject to the design guidelines and development 17 framework hereby adopted by the Mayor and Common Council, which 18 are incorporated herein by reference. The design guidelines and 19 development framework as set forth in a booklet prepared by U.R.S 20 Corporation, Anil Verma Associates, and Solstice Design 21 Associates, entitled .Design Guidelines and Development 22 Framework, Central City South Study Area/San Bernardino, 23 California., as on file with the City Clerk of the City of San 24 Bernardino, is hereby approved and adopted, subject to the 25 following modifications: 26 On pages 122 and 123, commencing with the paragraph 27 numbered I, Preliminary Conference, the text is amended to read 28 as follows: 2 0 1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 0 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 o o o o -I. preliminarv Conference. The Developer conf:rs informally with the City to identify potential development issues including: scope of the project, potential design issues and concerns, requirements including these Guidelines, <'compliance wit;h the California Environment~l Quality Act, and'the City's processing of the project. Information required on the developer's submission will be determined. A City Project Coordinator will be assigned to be liaison between the developer and the review committee. A determination will be made whether the project may be submitted directly to the Development Review Committee or whether it must first receive City Council and/or Planning Commission approval. II. Development Review Aoolication. A site plan and other information determined to be needed will be submitted with a Development Review Application. The City reviews and responds within ten days. III. Council/Commission Review Aoolication. A site plan and other required information will be submitted with the appropriate application to the Planning Department. The City reviews and responds in thirty to sixty days depending on the type of application. IV. OVer the Counter Review. This review is used for smaller projects such as minor additions and signs. Within a maximum of five business days, the construction drawings are 25 returned. If approved as submitted, the developer may submit to 26 Plan Check. If there are conditions, the applicant will resubmit 27 within thirty days. Notice of satisfactory compliance will be 28 given within ten days of resubmission. 3 o o o o o o o 1 V. Develooment Review Committee. The Committee reviews 2 projects and may render a decision in as little as ten days. If 3 there are revisions necessary, the drawings would need to be 4 reviewed. Once evaluated and approved by the Committee, the . 5 project is then submitted for P~an Check. Generally, Plan Check 6 takes no more than thirty days for smaller projects and sixty to 7 ninety days for larger projects. 8 VI. Comoliance with California Environmental OUality Act 9 (CEQA). All submitted projects requiring City Council and/or 10 Planning Commission approval will be reviewed by the City 11 Environmental Review Committee (ERC). The ERC will determine 12 whether a particular project is exempt from CEQA, qualifies for a 13 Negative Declaration or will require an Environmental Impact 14 Report. Projects which may be submitted directly to the 15 Development Review Committee are typically exempt from CEQA, 16 although the more complex ones may have certain environmental 17 impacts which warrant review and action by the ERC.- 18 SECTION 3. The design standards established by the design 19 guidelines and development framework hereby adopted shall not 20 replace or supersede current street design standards established 21 by the City Engineer. Any deviation from current standards will 22 require specific approval of the City Engineer. 23 SECTION 4. Any violation of the terms of this Ordinance 24 shall be an infraction, subject to punishment under the 25 provisions of San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 1.12.010. 26 SECTION 5.

Date September 16. 1986 Approved Item Nos. 6 and 7 Date In Decembec, 1985, the Mayor and the Common Council requested the Redevelopment Agency and the Planning Department to study the area bounded by Rialto Avenue on the north, Inland Center Drive on the south, -E- Street on the east and the I-2l5 Freeway on the west. An advisory committee was appointed to work with Planning and Redevelopment Agency staff and con- sultants to study the area. The purpose of the study was to establish a development framework and design guidelines to help redevelop the area through the use of an overlay district. The final asked to sections: report, which the Planning Commission is being review and approve, basically contains two maJor a Development Framework and Design Guidelines. This staff report contains: (fJ l. 2. 3. 4. A review of the Development Framework. A review of the Design Guidelines. An analysis of Change of Zone No. 86-22. Recommendations on the three items above. DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK: The Development Framework defines the City's overall goals and policies for the study area, the development review process for development of the area, and the circulation network. The framework contains five plan elements: 1. Land Use and Zoning 2. Circulation and Transportation 3. Development Opportunity Sub-areas 4. Design Theme 5. Landscape, Hardscape and Identity Land Use and Zoning o The Development Framework is not intended to amend the General Plan nor the Central City So~th Redevelopment Plan. Rather, the framework's land uses are to be ~sed as a guide for future development by defining areas of -allowable land uses.- The allowable land uses are actually categories of commercial development and include Commercial Retail, Service Commercial, Wholesale Commercial and Warehouse Distribution. Designated locales for these uses within the project area are shown on Page 10 of the final report. C'J'Y' Oil J'HI=M~" o o o o o o Memorandum to the Planning Central City South Overlay Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 2 o Commission District and ,Circulation A key element to the Development Fra~ework is the circulation plan. It will place emphasis on four important aspects of development to assure the success of the overall project. Vehicular Circulation: Theprimary intent is to create a vehicular corridor between Central City Mall and Inland Center Mall. To do so, existing roadways will be realigned to provide the desired flow pattern. New internal roads will be provided, including a new entry point into the project site from -E- Street opposite Valley Street. These roads will be designed to: 1) accommodate all sizes of commercial vehicles needed to service the area, 2) serve a variety of different land uses and 3) divide the project site into developable areas. pedestrian Circulation: A plan for smooth, progressive flow of pedestrians within thei[ own exclusive area as well as within the public right-of-way is developed to stimulate the commercial success of the project. It has been carefully prepared to meander through the overall project so that pedestrians can easily and safely promenade from one land use to another. Between major land uses complimentary outdoor activities such as patio cafes and flower carts will be used to enhance the project producing an active sidewalk environment. Parking: Parking will be provided as defined in the San Bernardino Municipal Code. In facilitating prov~s~ons for parking areas, several factors were taken into account: 1) The appearance of parking areas are not to dominate the buildings that the parking serves, 2) excessive asphalt is discouraged, 3) direct pathways from the parking areas to their respectiye buildings is to be utilized, 4) within the overall project area a minimum of curb cuts are to be used, 5) grouped parking to serve several businesses is encouraged, 6) parking is encouraged to be placed behind or to the side of buildings rather than in front. Public Transportation: Routes should be adjusted by Omni- trans to accommodate the increased demand that will be generated by the study area. A transit network could ulti- mately link the project area with development within the Hospitality Lane area, Seccombe Lake area, the Civic Center, Orange Show Fairgrounds and that of Central City Mall and the Inland Center Mall. Bus shelters will be incorporated into the landscaped public rights-of-way to serve the users of the transit system. . o ~ o o o o o Memorandum to the Planning Commission Central City South Overlay District and Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 3 Development Opportunity Suh-areas . Six opportunity sub-areas are contemplated within the study area. Each, specifically, designates a select land use with its own market needs and potentials. These select sub-areas are shown on Page 14 of the final report and include: 1. WE- Street Corridor 2. Railroad Parcels 3. Interior Parcels 4. Freeway Parcels 5. Triangle Parcels 6. South of Mill Parcels The -E- Street corridor is along the west side of _gw Street and will be encouraged to develop as a highly landscaped pedestrian oriented corridor. Support uses include cafes, mini-parks, flower carts and attractive newsstands. The intent within this corridor is to attract pedestrian and vehicular traffic from the downtown and Hospitality Lane areas to the study area. The railroad parcels are landlocked and are presently being under-utilized as railway spurs for warehousing uses. The area is. being treated as a reserve land area which ultimately will be used in a variety of ways ranging from use of the property as a future transit center to using the railroad facilities as a focus for a . railroad-theme retail/enter- tainment center~ The area which lies in the interior of the project site is the target for initial development. Land uses for this area could include such things as a design center or a specialty retail center. The freeway parcels immediately east of the I-215 Freeway have good visibility and accessibility and, therefore, have potential for such land uses as retail, office and institu- tional facilities. Across the flood control channel from the main portion of the study area and east of the 1-215 Freeway and north of Mill Street lie what are designated as the -Triangle- parcels. The framework circulation plan incorporates a bridge spanning the flood control channel which could eventually be linked with Mill Street. . Appropriate development would include retail or design center uses or freeway-related and region- ally-oriented uses. 10 ~ o c o 0 Memorandum to the Planning Commission Central City South Overlay District and Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 4 o Those parcels located south of Mill Street areL cur~ently occupied with a mixture of wholesale and retail rarehousing uses and related open parking. The plan proposes to retain these same uses within this sub-area. Design Th@m@ This element is focused on the public space landscape and hardscape. A specific design for sidewalks, street furni- ture" signing and street lights has been incorporated using design elements from the history of San Bernardino. No specific architectural design theme such as -Western- or -Spanish- will be established. Instead, architectural cohesiveness and identity will be accomplished through a series of common design guidelines. These guidelines will pay special attention to walls, doors, windows and color palette throughout the study area. Landscap@. Har:dscap@ and Id@ntity The landscape concept for the study area is to create a lush landscaped microcosm to provide a tranquil environment. It will provide a park-like setting with well integrated commer- cial and ancillary uses. Large landscaped nodes are to be established at major inter- sections. Entry nodes are to be used to attract visitors to the study area while landscaped medians will separate the paved surface with plant material. Street fixtures and ornamental street lights will produce a higher standard for the area than the standard bus benches or standard street lights. DESIGN GUIDELINES: The design guidelines were developed to encourage, through public and private investment, a cohesive, well designed development. They contain minimum standards which address rr~jor components (e.g. setbacks, landscaping, architectural standards, etc.) for the physical development of the study area. New development or expansion of existing structures would be required to comply with those standards established in order to receive a building permit. The standards will be utilized by the City departments as a basis of evaluation and review of all projects within the study area. The guidelines, with o ~ c o Memorandum to the P1ann~g Commission C) Central City South Overlay District and Change .of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 5 o there accompanying framework plan, will constitute the overlay district. These guidelines are in addition to the existing zoning standards. Wher, conflicts arise, the stricter of the two will prevail. The guidelines address: 1. Allowable land uses 2. Access and parking 3. Height, bulk and setbacks of structures 4. Building appearance 5. Signage and identity 6. Ground floor frontage 7. Landscape and hardscape criteria 8. Right-of-way usage 9. Property rehabilitation 10. Administration of the guidelines CHANGE OF ZONE NO. 86-22: In conjunction with the adoption of and Guidelines, a change of zone is implement the Overlay District. Presently, within the 195 acre Project area, the existing zoning includes C-3, C-M, M-l, and M-2 zones. These zones would permit a myriad of potentially non-compatible land uses. For instance, the C-3 zone would permit general types of commercial uses from retail to offices. The C-M zone permits those uses within the C-3 zone as well as those uses permitted within the M-l zone. The M-l zone would permit light industrial types of uses, such as warehousing and manufacturing plants. The M-2 zone would permit heavy indus- trial land uses such as impound yards, junk yards or any industrial use not prohibited by law. the proposed Framework requested in order to The proposed change of zone would rezone all parcels within the study area to C-M, Commercial-Manufacturing. The plan, however, would restrict certain uses otherwise permitted in that zone. Specifically, the plan would prohibit the follow- ing: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Once evaluated and appro~ed by the Committee, the project is then submitted for Plan Check. Generally, Plan Ch~ck takes no more than 30 days for smaller projects and 60 to 90 days for larger projects. VI. Compliance with California Act (CEQA) (Revise as follows) Environmental Quality ! All submitted projects requ1r1ng City Council and/or Planning Commission approval will be reviewed by the City Environmental Review Committee (ERC). The ERC will determine whether a particular project is exempt from CEQA, qualifies for a Negative Declaration or will require an Environ- mental Impact Report. Projects which may be submitted directly to the Development Review Committee are typically exempt from CEQA, although the more complex ones may have certain environmental impacts which warrant review and action by the ERC. In addition to the modifications listed above, the Engineer- ing Division has submitted a memorandum (attached) which outlines five concerns regarding streets, traffic and circu- lation. o o ;0 o . 0 Memor~ndum to the Planning Central City South Overlay Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 page 8 o o Commission District and Staff recommends approval, with modifications, of 'the Devel- opment Framework and Guidelines creating the Central City South Overlay District, and approval of Change of Zone No. 86-22.

Bautista, Principal Planner ~ITY OF SAN BEFOIARDINO 0- MEMORANDUIO FRANK SCHUMA Planning Director . Central City South Study Area - Conments on Framework and Design Guidelines ROGER G. HARDGRAVE, Dir. of From Public Works/City Engineer Date September 5, 1986 File No. 6.2101 Approved Date . , We have the following comments regarding the subject study: 1, The document contains a number of design guidelines which conflict with current street design standards. Therefore, a statement should be added clearly indicating that the guidelines do not supersede current street design standards and that any deviation from current standards will re- quire specific approval of the City Engineer. 2. Additional studies will be ,needed to develop new street design standards specifically for the study area if current standards are not acceptable. this will include such items as street lights, driveway approaches, traffic signals, sidewalks, median islands, etc. co 3. The final traffic study as. approved by the City Engineer should be in- cluded as an appendix to the design guidelines. 4. A sketch or table should be included to identify street classification (major highway, secondary highway, etc,) and location of existing and proposed traffic signals within the study area. 5. The latest traffic study reconmends Mill Street be 6 lanes within the study area, To obtain 6 lanes, the street right-of-way half width should be 55' instead of the currently planned 41.25'. Since the .traffic study was based on a worst case pattern of development, 6,lanes on Mill Street may never really be required. However, to provide for the possibility of it being needed, consideration should be given to requiring additional landscaped setback along Mill Street.

The majority of this cost is for items that would be requIred of developers even if the Overlay DIstrict did not exist. For example. the standard utIlities that are required would total $0.61 per square foot. Most of the street improvements and some of the landscapIng would also normally be required. About 20% of the costs result from the medians and the enhanced treatment of intersections and landscapIng.

An advisory committee was appointed to work with Planning and Redevelopment Agency staff and con- sultants to study the area. The purpose of the study was to establish a development framework and design guidelines to help redevelop the area through the use of an overlay district. The final asked to sections: report, which the Planning Commission is being review and approve, basically contains two major a Development Framework and Design Guidelines. This staff report contains: 3J 1. 2. 3. 4. A review of the Development Framework. A leview of the Design Guidelines. An analysis of' Change of Zone No. 86-22. Recommendations on the three items above. DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK: The Development Framework defines the City's overall goals and policies for the study area, the development review process for development of the area, and the circulation network. The framework con~ains five plan elements: 1. Land Use and Zoning 2. Circulation and Transportation 3. Development Opportunity Sub-areas 4. Design Theme 5. Landscape, Hardscape and Identity Land Use and Zoning J) The Development Framework is not intended to amend the General Plan nor the Central City South Redevelopment Plan. Rather, the framework's land uses are to be used as a guide for future development by defining areas of -allowable land uses.- The allowable land uses are actually categories of comm~rcial development-and include Commercial Retail, Service Commercial, Wholesale Commercial and Warehouse Distribution. Designated locales for these uses within the project area are shown on Page 10 of the final report. c.ry ON rHE.:M~V. J -j o J) ~ 000 Memorandum to the Planning Commission Central City South Overlay District and Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 2 o , ,Circulation A key element to the Development FrameworK is the circulation plan. It. will place emphasis on four important aspects of development to assure the success of the overall project. Vehicular Circulation: The<primary intent is to create a vehicular corridor between Central City Mall and Inland Center Mall. To do so, existing roadways will be realigned to provide the desired flow pattern. New internal roads will be provided, including a new entry point into the project site from -E- Street opposite Valley Street. These roads will be designed to: 1) accommodate all sizes of commercial vehicles needed to service the area, 2) serve a variety of different land uses and 3) divide the project site into developable areas. Pedestrian Circulation: A plan for smooth, progressive flow of pedestrians within their own exclusive area as well as within the public right-of-way is developed to stimulate the commercial success of the-,.<project. It has been carefully prepared to meander through the overall project so that pedestrians can easily and safely promenade from one land use to another. Between major land uses complimentary outdoor activities such as patio cafes and flower carts will be used to enhance the project producing an active sidewalk environment. Parking: Parking will be provided as defined in the San Bernardino Municipal Code. In facilitating provlslons for parking areas, several factors were taken into account: 1) The appearance of parking areas are not to dominate the buildings that the parking serves, 2) excessive asphalt is discouraged, 3) direct pathways from the parking areas to their respective buildings is to be utilized, 4) within the overall project area a minimum of curb cuts are to be used, 5) grouped parking to serve several businesses is encouraged, 6) parking is encouraged to be placed behind or to the side of buildings rather than in front. Public Transportation: Routes should be adjusted by Omni- trans to accommodate the increased demand that will be generated by the study area. A transit network ~ould. ulti- mately link the project area with development within the Hospitality Lane area, Seccombe Lake area, the Civic Center, Orange Show Fairgrounds and that of Central City Mall and the Inland Center Mall. Bus shelters will be incorporated into the landscaped public rights-of-way to serve the users of the transit system. . ) /J o )) - c o o o Memorandum to the Planning Commission Central City South Overlay District and Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 3 Dev~lopment Opportunity Sub-areas Six opportunity sub-areas are contemplated within the study area. Each, specifically, designates a select land use with its own market needs and potentials. These select sub-areas are shown on Page 14 of the final report and include: 1. WE- Street Corridor 2. Railroad Parcels 3. Interior Parcels 4. Freeway PArcels 5.. Triangle Parcels 6. South of Mill Parcels The -E- Street corridor is along the west side of -E- Street and will be encouraged to develop as a highly landscaped pedestrian 'oriented corridor. Support uses include cafes, mini-parks, flower carts and attractive newsstands. The intent within this corridor is to attract pedestrian and vehicular traffic from. the downtown and Hospitality Lane areas to the study area. The railroad parcels are landlocked and are presently being under-utilized as railway spurs for warehousing uses. The area is being treated as a reserve land area which ultimately will be used ina variety of ways ranging from use of the' property as a future transit center to using the railroad facilities as a focus for a railroad-theme retail/enter- tainment c4i!nter~ The area which lies in the interior of the project site is the target for initial development. Land uses for this area could include such things as a design center or a specialty retail center. The freeway parcels immediately east of the I-215 Freeway have good visibility and accessibility and, therefore, have potential for such land uses as retail, office and institu- tional facilities. Across the flood control channel from the main portion of the, study area anp east of the 1-215 Freeway and north of Mill Street lie what are designated as the -Triangle- parcels. The framework circulation plan incorporates a bridge spanning the flood control channel which could eventually be linked with Mill Street. Appropriate development would include retail or design center uses or freeway-related and region- ally-oriented uses. ~ ~ ~ ~ o - o o o Memorandum to the Planning Commission Central City South Overlay District and Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 4 Those parcels located south of Mill Street are, currently occupied with a mixture of wholesale and retail ~arehousing uses and related open parking. The plan proposes to retain these same uses within this sub-area. Design Theme This element is focused on the public space landscape and hardscape. A specific design for sidewalks, street furni- ture" signing and street lights has been incorporated using design elements from the history of San Bernardino. No specific architectural design theme such as -Western- or · Spanish- will be established. Instead, architectural cohesiveness and identity will be accomplished thLOugh a series of common design guidelines. These guidelines will pay special attention to walls, doors, windows and color palette throughout the study ~rea. ~andscape. Hardscape and Identity The landscape concept for the study area is to create a lush landscaped microcosm to provide a tranquil environment. It will provide a park-like setting with well integratedcommer- cial and ancillary uses. Large landscaped nodes are to be established at major inter- sections. Entry nodes are to be used to attract visitors to the stUdy area while landscaped medians will separate the paved surface with plant material. -! Street fixtures higher standard standard street and ornamental street lights will produce a for the area than the standard bus benches or lights. DESIGN GUIDELINES; The design guidelines were developed to encourage, through public and private investment, a cohesive, well designed development. They contain minimum standards which address major components (e.g. setbacks, landscaping, architectural standards, etc.> for the physical development of the study area. New development or expansion of existing structures would be required to comply with those standards established in order to receive abuilding permit. The standards will be utilized by the City departments as a basis of evaluation and review of all projects within the study area. The guidelines, with ./' " .~ J) .- o Memorandum to the P1an~g commis5ion() central City South Overlay District and Change of Zone No. 86-22 September 16, 1986 Page 5 o 'there accompanying framework plan, will constitute the overlay district. These guidelines are in addition to the existing zoning standards. Where conflicts arise, the stricter of the two will prevail. The guidelines address: 1. Allowable land uses 2. Access and parking 3. Height, bulk and setbacks of structures 4. Building appearance 5. Signage and identity 6. Ground floor frontage 7. Landscape and hardscape criteria 8. Right-of-way usage 9. Property rehabilitation 10. Administration of the guidelines CHANGE OF ZONE NO. 86-22: In conjunction with the' adoption of and Guidelines, a change of zone is implement the Overlay District. Presently, within the 195 acre project area, the existing zoning includes C-3, C-M, M-l, and M-2 zones. These zones would' permit a myriad of potentially non-compatible land uses. For instance, the C-3 zone would permit general types of commercial uses from retail to offices. The C-M zone permits those uses within the C-3 zone as well as those uses permitted within the M-l zone. The M-l zone would permit light industrial types of uses, such as warehousing and manufacturing plants. The M-2 zone would permit heavy indus- trial land uses such as impound yards, junk yards or any industrial use not prohibited by law. the proposed FrameWork requested in order to The proposed change of zone would rezone all parcels within the study area to C-M, Commercial-Manufacturing. The plan, however, would restrict certain uses otherwise permitted in that zone. Specifically, the plan would prohibit the follow- ing: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Central City South Study Area - Conments on Framework and Design Guidelines ROGER G. HARDGRAVE, Dir, of From Publ ic Works/City Engineer Date September 5, 1986 File No, 6.2101 Approved Date We have the following comments regarding the subject study: 1, The document contains a number of design guidelines which conflict with current street design standards, Therefore, a statement should be added clearly indicating that the guidelines do not supersede current street design standards and that any deviation from current standards will re- quire specific approval of the City Engineer. 2. Additional studies will be ~eeded to develop new street design standards specifically for the study area if current standards are not acceptable. this will include such items as street lights, driveway approaches, traffic signals, sidewalks, median islands, etc. . 3. The final traffic study as approved by the City Engineer should be in- cluded as an appendix to the design guidelines. 4, A sketch or table should be included to identify street classification (major highway, secondary highway, etc.) and location of existing and proposed traffic signals within the study area. 5. The latest traffic study recommends Mill Street be 6 lanes within the study area. To obtain 6 lanes, the street right-of-way half width should be 55' instead of the currently planned 41,25'. Since the 'traffic study was based on a worst case pattern of development, 6,lanes on Mill Street may never really be required, However, to provide for the possibility of it being needed, consideration should be given to requiring additional landscaped setback along Mill Street. -~ ROGER G.
