Plan SP -79-01, to change the designated width of
Sterling Avenue, between 19th Street and the Pomona
School, from'30 feet to 23feet. Environmental Deter-
mination: Negative Declaration adopted for SP -79-01.
The Affidavit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's
office.' No communications have been received. The
Specific Plan concerns the area bound by Placentia Ave-
nue; Hamilton Street, Pomona Avenue, and 19th Street.
The Associate Planner reviewed his memorandum to the
Council dated April. 17, 1980, as well as the report for
the subject�amendment.which''indicates that the recom-
mended narrower width.of 23 feet is possible because
the water facility improvement plans include the
stronger Class 200 .pipe which.can be placed closer to
the existing sewer under Sterling Avenue, thus requiring
less public right -of. -way. The 23 -foot width would
reduce the:cost-;of,paving by $90,000.00 and therefore
would,place a lesser financial responsibility on
property owners.- The -Associate Planner also pointed
out that staff has surveyed the development in the
area and found seven properti.es.developed with orienta-
tion towards Sterling Avenue, however, all of these
properties have frontage on,either Wallace or Pomona
Avenues:- There,,being no -speakers, the Mayor closed the
