IRAN ESTABLISH STOP CONTROL ON VIEJO CASTILLA WAY AT ITS INTERSECTION WITH NAVARRA DRIVE DEPT. DIRECTOR!^/ CITY ATTORNEY CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No. _ with Navarra Drive. ITEM EXPLANATION: CS-098 to require stops on Viejo Castilla Way at its intersection Viejo Castilla Way and Navarra Drive are located in the southeast portion of the city (see Exhibit 1). Both are unclassified on the Circulation Element of the General Plan but function as local streets based on street width and adjacent land uses. Both streets serve residential neighborhoods comprised mostly of multi-family homes. A resident requested staff to investigate the need to install a stop sign on Viejo Castilla Way at its intersection with Navarra Drive. Stop sign requests received by staff are analyzed based on standards and guidelines established in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. One factor when considering the installation of a stop sign is the concept of safe approach speed. A stop sign should be considered when the safe approach speed of the minor leg of an intersection is less than 10 mph. Assuming approach speeds of 25 mph on Navarra Drive and 10 mph on Viejo Castilla Way, a minimum sight distance of 150 is required. Staff measured sight distance from Viejo Castilla Way looking to the east and west and found it to be less than the minimum distance required. Since the 10 mph safe approach speed criteria is not met, a stop sign should be considered for installation on Viejo Castilla Way at Navarra Drive. The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed this matter at its meeting on June 7, 2010. By a 4-0 vote, the Commission recommended that a stop sign be installed on Viejo Castilla Way at its intersection with Navarra Drive. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) - minor alteration of existing facilities, including streets, involving negligible or no expansion.
