WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on September 10, 1996, to receive oral
and written testimony regarding the subject General Plan Amendment and the environmental
impacts of the Downtown Improvement Project, and made the following findings:
A. The Downtown Improvement Project includes modifying the segment of Pier
Avenue between Valley Drive and Hermosa Avenue to one -lane traffic each way,
modifying the segment of Pier Avenue between Hermosa Avenue and the Strand to
provide widened sidewalks and streetscape improvements along both segments.
Streetscape improvements are also proposed along Hermosa Avenue.
B. The subject General Plan Amendment will recognize that existing and projected
traffic volumes along Pier Avenue are consistent with a designation for a Collector
Street, and therefore is consistent with the lane redesign as proposed in the
Downtown Improvement Project.
C. The City Council concurs with the Planning Commission and Staff
Environmental Review Committee's recommendation, based on their
environmental assessmenthnitial study, and the findings as contained in the
