This proposed development is estimated to generate less than 1,000-trips per day therefore a traffic
impact study was not required with this application.

District staff has not reviewed this site as an application or prepared a report in the past year.
District staff has reviewed and approved Central Valley Corporate Park No. 7 thru 6.
11. Capital Improvements Plan/Five Year Work Program
This location is not programmed into the District's current Capital Improvements Plan and/or Five
Year Work Program for reconstruction or any roadway improvements.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right-of-Way
District policy requires 54-feet of right-of-way on industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B).
This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter and a 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalk.
There is sufficient right-of--way abutting the site on Progress Avenue. Therefore the applicant should
not be required to dedicate any additional right-of--way with this application.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all local streets, except those in
rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per acre or less (7204.4.7).
Progress Avenue is a local commercial roadway with 2-travel lanes, curb and gutter within 60-feet of
right-of--way abutting the site. There is curb, gutter and attached sidewalk abutting the developed lots
in this subdivision.
The applicant should be required to construct a 5-foot concrete sidewalk attached to the curb abutting
the frontage on Progress Avenue.
3. Minor Improvements
District policy 7203.6 requires the applicant of a proposed development to make improvements to
existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused
driveways with standard curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement
repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other similar items in order to correct deficiencies or replace
deteriorated facilities.
The applicant should be required to repair any existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter
construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with standard curb, gutter and
sidewalk; installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other
similar items in order to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. The applicant should be
required to work with the Development staff to correct any deficiencies abutting the site.

4. Driveways
District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commercial/industrial roadways
to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to
near edge).
The applicant is proposing to restrict the previously approved access to 25-feet in width on Progress
Avenue located 280-feet north of the near edge of the intersection with Central Drive. This location
meets District policy and should be approved with this application.
The applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width of 25-feet and at least 30-feet into
the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway.
Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked
onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to
pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the
roadway and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width of 35-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
Utilize the previously approved access on Progress Avenue located 280-feet north of the near edge
of the intersection with Central Drive, as proposed. This location meets District policy and shall be
approved with this application.
The applicant proposed to restrict the existing 40-foot access to 25-feet in width. Staff is supportive of
the proposed reduced width. This is a shared access with the parcel to the north and east. The
applicant should provide a recorded cross access easement for the parcels to the west and east to
utilize this shared access to the public roadway.
Pave the driveway its full width of 25-feet and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of
pavement of the roadway.
2. Construct a 5-foot concrete sidewalk attached to the curb abutting the frontage on Progress Avenue.
3. The applicant shall be required to repair any existing damaged sidewalk; curb and gutter construction
or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with standard curb, gutter and sidewalk;
installation of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devises; and other similar
