OPTION II - SPECIFIC PLAN SP -78-02A
ALIGNMENT OF RANDOLPH AVENUE
OPTION II
A cul-de-sac terminating at the westerly knuckle in Randolph Avenue is pre-
sented as Option II. All the 2,500 daily vehicle trip ends generated would
be concentrated at the Baker Street intersection. Residents of the area
would be required to use Baker Street and its intersections even if their
destination is to the north.
This option would increase the use of the Baker/Bristol intersection by a
slight ICU increment of .020 (2.0 percent) as compared to .017 (1.7 percent)
for a through street. Conversely, the use of the Paularino/Bristol inter-
section would decrease slightly: .021 ICU as compared to .015 ICU for a
through street.
This option would reduce the amount of traffic on Paularino Avenue somewhat.
Daily traffic volume added from the Specific Plan area would be 270 vehicles.
The peak hour addition would be 30 vehicles, an insignificant reduction of
10 vehicles compared with Options I or III. Without through access, the
Public Services Department reports that there appears to be little need to
restrict the Paularino Avenue properties to access from Randolph Avenue only.
Although the existing new development in the area will not benefit from
access onto both Baker Street and Paularino Avenue, the remaining not yet
redeveloped properties would not have this same limitation. However, limiting
access to Randolph Avenue would reduce the number of driveways on Paularino
Avenue. This reduces pedestrian hazards. A benefactor from this option would
be the property at 801 Paularino Avenue, which would be the most impacted by
through street dedication.
If Randolph Avenue is not a through street, its circulation advantages are
reduced. Its use would be primarily for residents of the street and it would
not provide the anticipated area -wide circulation benefits. The Public
Services Department questions the propriety of using the City's gas tax funds
for such a street and recommends that the offer to construct street improve-
ments in exchange for dedication be rescinded if a cul-de-sac is selected.
With this restricted access situation, the Planning Division recommends that
the incentive of offering R3 zoning be deleted from the Specific Plan. The
concept of making higher density zoning than R2 possible was contingent upon
a through street, and it was hoped that property owners would cooperate in
providing the through street with this density possible.
