FindinES:
1. The project is consistent with the General Plan and the Agua Hedionda Land U!
Plan for the following reasons:
a. Widening of the roadway would help provide a balance among travel mod1
by safely accommodating bicyclists and pedestrians.
b. Adams Street is classified as a scenic roadway and bike lanes would 1
provided that meet required safety design standards.
c. The operational efficiencies of the roadway would be improved by wid&
of the entire roadway segment and realignment of the T-intersection
Highland Drive and Adam Street.
d. The utilization of special ''hillside" standards (34 foot curb-tomb widtl
would reduce the amount of required grading, thus, mhhizing adven
impacts to the environment and adjacent properties.
e. Adequate sidewalks would be provided on one side of the roadway 1
enhance pedestrian safety and encourage pedestrian use of the scen
corridor.
f. The secondary bikeway required by Policy 7.1 of the Agua Hedionda Lan
Use Plan would be provided along the scenic corridor with bike lanes a
both sides of the roadway.
g. Grading into 25% slopes containing native habitat is allowed for roadwal
and utilities. To minimize impacts the special "hihide" street standarc
would reduce the amount of grading encroachment into the natural stec
slopes while still accomplishing the plan's goal of providing a bikeway an
pedestrian access along the Adams Street scenic corridor.
h. The proposed alignment would not preclude or adversely impact th
provision of a scenic viewpoint along Hedionda Point as required by Polic
8.2 of the land use plan. Policy 5.9(c) requires that dedication of easemen1
and provisions for funding of improvements including the designate
viewpoint shall be a requirement for new development along the roadwas
