WHEREAS, on February 6, 2018 the City Council, after substantial public input and debate reviewed the draft Anholm Bikeway Plan and conceptually approved the plan with phase 1 as presented, a modified phase 2 with traffic calming signage and crosswalks along Broad & Chorro, in lieu of a cycle track and parking removal, with performance monitoring reports at 12 and 24 months, and a modified phase 3 with reconsideration of protected lanes, traditional bike boulevard on Broad Street, and other traffic calming measures at that time; and WHEREAS, on February 20, 2018, the Council further considered the previously directed amendments to the proposed Anholm Bikeway Plan, pursuant to a duly noticed Council agenda item, which apprises the public that the Anholm Bikeway Plan was on the agenda and scheduled for discussion and action by the City Council. Resolution No. 10881 (2018 Series) Page 2 WHEREAS, during the February 20, 2018 City Council meeting, the Council solicited and received public comment on the duly noticed agenda item and, following public comment, engaged in a public process of deliberating, arriving at concurrence on additional amendments discussed at the meeting, and acting to adopt a resolution approving a modified Anholm Bikeway Plan reflecting amendments discussed and agreed upon during the duly noticed public meeting; and WHEREAS, The Council acted within its discretion and in compliance with applicable law to make further modifications to the staff recommendation and proposed resolution adopting the bikeway plan prior to final adoption of the plan; and WHEREAS, the City is committed to public engagement and actions that encourage more residents to be informed and involved in shaping important community decisions and, therefore, the City Council has placed the Anholm Bikeway Plan on the Council agenda for further discussion and action; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo that SECTION 1. Findings. This Council, after consideration of the Anholm Bikeway Plan as recommended by the Bicycle Advisory Committee, and subsequent modifications directed after further Council deliberation and consideration of staff recommendations and public testimony, makes the following findings: 1. The Anholm Bikeway Plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and Bicycle Transportation Plan. 2. The Anholm Bikeway Plan will develop low -stress, protected bicycle facilities, which have been a well-documented strategy to make bicycling safer, more accessible, and attractive as a transportation option for users of all ages and ability levels. 3. The Anholm Bikeway Plan will further the City goals to increase bicycle and walking mode share. 4. The Anholm Bikeway Plan will provide improved infrastructure for walking and bicycling, improving the viability of active transportation modes connecting the downtown with the Anholm Neighborhood in addition to schools and neighborhood north of Foothill Boulevard. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. Per Section 15304 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Class 1, Existing Facilities; Section 15301 and Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land, because the project would be constructed on existing city streets within the public right of way. The project will be constructed in an area that has no value as habitat for biological resources and would not be located in agricultural areas. The proposed street lights would be located in an urban area and would not significantly increase light or glare beyond existing conditions. The project has no potentially significant traffic impacts. The project is consistent with General Plan policies that promote an integrated system of bikeways, walkways, and traffic calming measures that promote a safe, multimodal transportation network.
