Discussion of ! and Use and Policy Options Opportunity Area One Mr. Jackson outlined the two schemes possible for this area which is located in the northwest corner of the City, north of Winchester Road, between Jefferson and the proposed Western Bypass Road. Commissioner Chiniaeff pointed out the potential for increased traffic problems if the Public Facility were to be placed east of Diaz Road. Mayor Pro Tem Lindemans stated a preference for some residential included in this area. Councilmember Parks expressed concern with the noise generated by stadium/arena use and did not feel this would be compatible with residential uses. After discussion consensus was reached that scheme "B" is preferred, with the uses to be reversed, designating the Public Facility on the west side of Diaz and the Single User Business Park on the east side of Diaz. Opportunity Area Two Mr. Jackson described two schemes, one showing the bypass corridor in place from Highway 79 South and one showing a bypass beginning north of Rancho California Road. Mayor Pro Tern Lindemans stated concern that the circulation element should be prepared first before determining the appropriate land use in this area. Councilmember Mu~oz asked if the mixed uses shown on the west side of the freeway represent a change from the present industrial concentration on the west side and residential on the east side of the freeway. Mr. Jackson responded that a mix of uses is being suggested for both sides of the 1-15 to create a better balance. Commissioner Chiniaeff asked if there is consensus that there will be a village concept developed in the Old Town section and that the Western Bypass corridor will be planned from Highway 79 South extending the length of the City. The Council indicated that such a consensus did exist.

Review of Next Joint PC/CC Workshog Bob Davis, of the Planning Center responded to questions on the circulation element and specific problem areas within the City. He advised that the present traffic on Front Street is exceeding its capacity. He also advised that the proposed Western Bypass will divert large volumes of traffic (approximately 20,000 vehicles per day) from the freeway and other surface arterial streets, if the road is property constructed. In response to a question from Mayor Pro Tem Lindemans he advised the bypass is projected to be a four-lane roadway. Mr. Davis also discussed the proposed extension of Butterfield Stage Road from Highway 79 South, to Highway 79 North (Winchester Road). He stated this will create a limited access roadway that will intersect the eastern side of the City and will create further benefit by diverting some of the southbound traffic from the Winchester/I-15 intersection.
