ACTION ITEMS:
Agenda Item #1: Bob Jones Pathway Octagon Barn Connection Study
The City and County of San Luis Obispo are conducting a study to determine the preferred
alignment of a key ½ mile segment of the Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail between Los Osos Valley
Road (LOVR) interchange and the Octagon Barn on South Higuera. The study (titled “5/8/13
Draft Bob Jones Pathway Octagon Barn Connection Study” and available for review on the
project website at www.bobjonestrailconnection.com) reviews potential path alignments and
identifies a preferred pathway alignment (Attachment 2) based on site analysis and public input
gathered through various outreach efforts.
The County’s final approval body for the preferred trail alignment will be the County Board of
Supervisors with input from the County Trails Committee, County Bicycle Advisory Committee
and County Parks and Recreation Commission. On May 14, 2013, the study was reviewed by
the County Trails Committee and County Bicycle Advisory Committee at a joint meeting of the
two committees. Both committees supported the preferred alignment. The County Parks and
Recreation is tentatively scheduled to review the study on August 21, 2013.
The City’s final approval body for the preferred alignment will be the City Planning Commission
with input from the City’s Bicycle Advisory Committee. In preparation for the meeting,
Committee members should read the Draft Bob Jones Pathway Octagon Barn Connection
Study and contact staff with any questions you may have prior to the meeting. At the meeting,
staff will make a presentation summarizing the study and the preferred trail alignment. After the
presentation, public testimony on the study will be taken, followed by Committee discussion and
action on a preferred alignment. Additionally, the BAC may wish to make a separate
recommendation that a grade separated crossing of Los Osos Valley Road be considered as
part of any future phases of the project.
Staff Recommendation: By motion, the BAC should provide a recommendation on a preferred
alignment for Planning Commission consideration.
Agenda Item #2: Airport Area Specific Plan Amendment
Chevron has submitted an application to amend the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP). The
application includes changes to the land use and circulation maps of the AASP including
changes to the proposed bicycling facilities contained within the AASP and the current Bicycle
Transportation Plan. A memo from the Community Development Department (Attachment 3)
provides details regarding the project (including proposed changes to bicycling facilities) and the
draft environmental impact report (EIR) prepared for the project. The draft EIR can be viewed on
the City’s website at www.slocity.org. Printed copies and CD’s are also available at the City’s
Community Development Department and the City/County library.
The Bicycle Advisory Committee’s purview on this project is to provide input on the project and
draft EIR as it pertains to bicycling for Planning Commission and City Council consideration. As
detailed in the Community Development Department memo, input should include:
1. Alignment and construction timing of all bike paths.
2. Whether the proposed mitigation is suitable given the scope of the project.
3. Whether 2 pathways as shown in the Bicycle Transportation Plan should be implemented
south of Tank Farm Road or whether a single path may suffice.
4. Discuss conceptual locations of a Class 1 pathway south of Tank Farm Road that will link
with properties to the south such as the Avila Ranch property.
At the meeting, staff will summarize the proposed changes to bicycle facilities, potential
impacts, and proposed mitigation measures. After the presentation, public testimony
will be taken, followed by Committee discussion and action.
Staff Recommendation: By motion, the BAC should provide input on items 1-4 above.
Agenda Item #3: Land Use and Circulation Element Update
The City is undertaking a focused update of its General Plan Land Use and Circulation
Elements. The Circulation Element describes how the City plans to provide for the
transportation of people and materials within the community and beyond. The document
expresses the community’s preferences for current and future conditions and directions. As a
City advisory body that provides oversight and policy direction on matters related to bicycle
transportation in San Luis Obispo and its relationship to bicycling outside the City, the
Committee’s input during this process is very important. At the BAC meeting staff will make a
presentation introducing multi-modal level of service (MMLOS) which is a method to identify
how all modes of travel - cars, transit, bicycles and pedestrians perform in a community. The
analysis uses data such as a street sections, traffic signal timing, the posted speed limit, bus
headways (timing between bus arrivals), traffic volumes including bicycles, transit patronage,
and pedestrian volumes to better understand the way people traveling by different modes
interact within a shared right of way environment as well as the trade-offs that need to be
considered due to right-of-way limitations as the community considers where growth can occur
in the future.
In addition to this presentation, staff will review the BAC recommended amendments to the
City’s Circulation Element policies (Attachment 4) approved by the Committee in January 2011
and confirm that no further changes are recommended at this time.

Community Development Department
Memorandum
June 27, 2013
TO: Bicycle Advisory Committee
Peggy Mandeville, Principal Transportation Planner
FROM: Phil Dunsmore, Senior Planner, Long-Range Planning
SUBJECT: Preliminary review of proposed amendments to the Airport
Area Specific Plan as part of the Chevron Tank Farm
property project application
In August 2005, the City adopted the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP). As a
part of that plan, property owned by Chevron, adjacent to Tank Farm Road
(Attachment 1 – Project Plan), was designated for remediation, reuse,
development, and conservation. The property, previously owned and operated
by Unocal, was at one time an active site for oil storage and transportation. As
a result of that use, and primarily because of a significant fire and disaster that
occurred in 1926, portions of the Chevron property are contaminated.
Following many years of evaluation and the development of a Remedial Action
Plan (RAP) to identify how the contamination on the property would be
addressed, Chevron has filed an application to annex the property into the City.
The City application includes plans to amend the AASP and develop a portion
of the 332 acre Tank Farm Road area property, leaving the remainder in open
space (Attachment 1). 250 acres would be placed in open space and may
ultimately be deeded to the City with a restrictive covenant limiting future uses.
Approximately 82 acres would be utilized for infrastructure improvements,
parkland, and commercial development. Concurrent with its application to the
City, Chevron also submitted an application to the County. The County
application includes grading plans that are intended to remediate the property
and restore habitat areas prior to City annexation. Should annexation into the
City not be successful, Chevron is also seeking entitlements to develop the
property similar to the City application.
The City project includes amending the land use map in the AASP to reserve
the most ecologically sensitive areas of the site as open space and allow
development on a portion of the property. Chevron’s proposal includes shifting
a portion of the development areas currently designated in the AASP to
address wetland and other sensitive species concerns.
Table 1 illustrates the existing and proposed land uses in acreage.

Bicycle Paths
Changes to the Bicycle Transportation Plan include re-aligning proposed Class
1 bike paths to avoid wetlands and former tank farm contamination areas.
When the AASP and the Bicycle Transportation Plan were adopted, substantial
environmental detail about this property was not available. Amendments to the
land use plan, circulation plan, and implementation of habitat restoration will
necessitate changes to the location of planned bike paths.
Attachment 2 illustrates bike paths proposed in the Bicycle Transportation Plan,
while Attachment 3 illustrates bike paths that are proposed as part of the
project.
The Bicycle Transportation plan identifies the following within the project site:
1. A Class 1 bike path parallel to, and on the south side of, Tank Farm Road.
2. A class 1 bike path extending southward at the southwesterly boundary of
the Chevron property.
3. A class 1 bike path adjacent to (outside of) the easterly boundary of the
property along Santa Fe Road and along the edge of the creek.
4. Class 2 paths are identified along the northwest boundary of the property in
alignment with the planned Unocal Collector road.
5. Class 2 paths are identified along Tank Farm Road through the project site
6. Class 2 paths are identified along the extension of Santa Fe Road
northward to the future extension of Prado Road.
The Project proposes the following:
1. Relocation of the Class 1 bike path adjacent to Tank Farm Road from the
south to the north side of the road.
2. No plans are currently in place to construct the Class 1 path adjacent to the
southwesterly property boundary south of Tank Farm Road due to wetland
restoration plans and former tank farm locations. The path outside of the
east side of the property adjacent to the creek is also not included in the
project description because it is not on property controlled by Chevron and
also requires construction of a bridge. Chevron representatives have
expressed the willingness to work with the City to construct a path
southward as long as it does not interrupt wetland or habitat restoration
areas.
BAC Attachment 3 - 2
Chevron, Page 3
3. On the north side of the property, the planned Unocal collector road is
proposed for elimination (the road may no longer be needed at this location
and the planned location impacts significant wetland habitat). Instead, a
Class 1 bike path and a utilities easement are proposed to replace the
roadway, linking bicyclists with Prado Road.
4. A Class 1 Bike path is proposed linking Tank Farm Road with Prado Road
to the north in approximately the center of the site.
5. Class 2 bike paths are proposed along Tank Farm Road and along the
proposed extension of Santa Fe Road.
Environmental Impact Report
MRS Environmental Services has prepared an Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) to evaluate the remediation project, and the respective County and City
project proposals. The public release of the draft EIR occurred on June 20 and
is available for public comment through August 5th.
The Draft EIR provides a mitigation measure (Mitigation Measure T-3a) that
requires the applicants to construct the Class 1 bike path on the north side of
Tank Farm Road, Class 2 bike paths on both sides of Tank Farm Road and a
Class 1 multi-use path south of Tank Farm Road that will link with properties to
the South. The location of this southerly bike path has not yet been determined.
All other bike paths would be constructed in accordance with the project
description.
In summary, the BAC should provide feedback on the following:
1. Alignment and construction timing of all bike paths.
2. Whether the proposed mitigation is suitable given the scope of the project.
3. Whether 2 pathways as shown in the Bicycle Transportation Plan should be
implemented south of Tank Farm Road or whether a single path may
suffice.
4. Discuss conceptual locations of a Class 1 pathway south of Tank Farm
Road that will link with properties to the south such as the Avila Ranch
property.
