RECOMMENDATION:
4.1 Receive and Comment to Finance Department (Under separate cover).
Apprising the Planning Commission of its charge to determine whether the CIP conforms
to the City's General Plan, Senior Planner Hogan presented the staff report (of record).
Addressing Commissioner Webster's queries regarding the bicycle/pedestrian
overcrossing into Old Town (denoted on page 164 of the Draft CIP), Senior Planner
Hogan relayed that this project was not specifically identified in the Old Town Specific
Plan, or the Rancho Highlands Specific Plan.
MOTION: Commissioner Mathewson moved to recommend that the City Council
approve the CIP, which conforms to the City's General Plan. The motion was seconded
by Vice Chairman Mathewson. (Ultimately this motion was amended; see below.)
Commenting on the overcrossing project previously discussed (denoted on page 164 in
the Draft CIP), Commissioner Webster relayed his recommendation that this project be
deleted due to the lack of a need for it and that a pedestrian overcrossing project over
Winchester Road at Nicolas Road be put in its place due to the higher need for this
project which would effect the traffic circulation in this area.
AMENDED MOTION: Amending his motion, Commissioner Chiniaeff moved to
recommend that the City Council approve the CIP which conforms to the City's General
Plan subject to lowering the priority level of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Overcrossing into
Old Town Project (denoted on page 164 in the CIP) to a Priority Level III, and to add the
Pedestrian Overcrossing Project over Winchester Road at Nicolas Road which will
improve the circulation flow. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Mathewson
and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Chairman Guerriero who was
absent.
