Call to Order Roll Call City Council Comment 1. _STUDY SESSION FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSING ROAD STANDARDS AND POLICIES Adjourn NOTICE: THE COUNCIL WILL ADJOURN TO 6:00 P.M. , TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1990 FOR A SPECIAL PRESENTATION OF THE DRAFT FIRE DEPARTMENT MASTER PLAN BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THEIR REGULAR SESSION AT 7:00 P.M. j' • REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL Meeting Date: 9/20/90 CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager From: Greg Luke, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Road Policies and Standards RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution 103-90 establishing a comprehensive policy for the review of roads in the City of Atascadero for the conditioning of development projects and the clarification of responsibility for maintenance. BACKGROUND: On July 11, 1990 the City Council held a study session to establish road policies for the City. The complex issues associated with roads have necessitated a second study session to further discuss issues and policies associated with Atascadero's roads. At the August 14, 1990 Council meeting the Council was provided a staff report pertaining to the road policy. Staff was subsequently directed to set a study session to review the road policy. DISCUSSION: The staff report presented at the August 14, 1990 Council meeting has been included in this agenda unaltered from the original distribution. However, it should be noted that the policy is in conflict with some of the Council's recent road decisions. It contains an enacting resolution as well as the attendant "Road Policy" . Staff is seeking Council direction as to the appropriateness of the Policy as well as any changes that are deemed necessary. FISCAL IMPACT: No direct fiscal impact. REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting Date: 8/14/90 From: Gregory Luke, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Road Review Policy RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt resolution 103-90 establishing a comprehensive policy for the review of roads in the City of Atascadero for the conditioning of development projects and the clarification of responsibility for maintenance. BACKGROUND: Since incorporation the City of Atascadero has been struggling with the unique character of the roads associated with the Atascadero Colony and the Eaglet Tract. There has been widespread uncertainty concerning road ownership, road access rights, maintenance obligations, the assignment of liability and the assignment of road improvement responsibilities to private development. Also, the previously subdivided condition of most of the City denies the City the tools to remedy the situation that are commonly available elsewhere. DISCUSSION: In January of 1990 the City adopted its first set of road standards unique to the City of Atascadero.. These standards have had a significant impact on the process of identifying reasonable road improvements and establishing minimum design and construction standards. Despite the adopted standards uncertainty remains concerning how the standards are to be implemented. One of the purposes of the attached resolution is to establish a policy of when and how to apply the City's adopted standards. Also, uncertainty is prevalent concerning which roads have been accepted into the City maintained road system, despite relatively clear State law delineating the appropriate steps necessary to adopt a road into the system. The guidance provided by State law has been clouded by uncertainty regarding the transfer of road maintenance responsibility from the County to the City and the significance of past City maintenance activity. Underlying the question of the appropriate allocation of maintenance costs and responsibility is the assumption of liability associated with the allocation of responsibility. The attached resolution provides a means of clearly establishing which streets are to be included in the City maintained system and identifies the steps necessary to upgrade a road for consideration of acceptance. FISCAL IMPACT: By adopting precise standards for roadway construction the City's long term maintenance costs should decrease because shoulder and drainage improvements and the quality of the road construction will have been improved prior to transfer to the City maintained system. Ultimately the citizens of Atascadero will benefit because their roads will be under the authority of the City. Enclosures: 1. City Council Resolution 103-90 2. Road Policy . RESOLUTION NO. 103-90 RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ADOPTING A ROAD POLICY WHEREAS, a road policy is necessary for the efficient and consistent administration of roads and road construction within the City of Atascadero; and WHEREAS, a road policy is necessary so that private property may be improved with a clear understanding of City standards, both for construction and acceptance; and WHEREAS, a road policy is necessary to guide the City's staff in the conditioning of development projects for road improvements; and WHEREAS, a road policy is necessary to eliminate the uncertainty concerning which roads are within the City maintained road system and to clearly allocate maintenance responsibility; and WHEREAS, a road policy is necessary for public safety and to minimize future road maintenance expense; and WHEREAS, a road policy is a necessary adjunct of sound fiscal management of the City. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The attached document entitled "Road Policy" shall be the policy of the City of Atascadero. On motion by Councilperson seconded by • Councilperson , the foregoing resolution is passed on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ADOPTED: ATTEST: LEE DAYKA, City Clerk ROBERT B.

Attached GLOSSARY Access Road - Uniform Fire Code A publically traveled access road is a 20 foot wide "all weather road. " "All weather" implies that the road will be constructed following standard compaction procedures and that it will be topped with a minimum of six inches of class 2 or class 3 aggregate base. When constructed in a public right-of-way an encroachment permit or a. road construction permit issued by the Department of Public Works is required prior to construction. These roads are considered temporary and will eventually be improved to comply with the City' s Circulation Element and road standards. Thus, these temporary roads will be designed and constructed so that the road geometry and quality is consistant with the final road configuration. City Maintained Road A City Maintained Road is a road that has been specifically designated by City Council Resolution as being included within the City maintained road system according to Streets and Highways Code Section 1806. Conditioning Conditioning is the process of imposing conditions on development • during development review by the City Council, the City Planning Commission and the City staff. In this report conditioning is not intended to address, include or exclude conditions related to subjects besides roadway related activities. Drainage Improvements Drainage improvements include, but are not necessarily limited to, asphalt dikes, curbs, gutters, drop inlets, downdrains, swales, ditches, headwalls, culverts, storm drains, acquiring drainage easements, riprap, energy dissipators, resurfacing to provide appropriate cross slope, stream clearing, cleaning of existing drainage improvements, daylighting, erosion control, landscaping and surfacing. Drainage improvements generally include improvements required to prevent erosion and maintain control of drainage within the roadway environment as well as for downstream properties. Driveway A Driveway is a road providing access to a site or land use from a street. A driveway serves no more than four separately owned parcels. In the case of condominiums or other dense development schemes a driveway may serve more than four lots. Standards for driveways are derived from City ordinances and the Uniform Fire 1 Code. The construction of driveways is monitored through the issuance of grading permits by the Building Division of the Community Development Department. Encroachment Permit An Encroachment Permit is a permit issued by the Department of Public Works that authorizes work within a public or privately owned public right-of-way. Internal Road An Internal Road (class VII) is a privately maintained road that serves a development or developments governed by a homeowners association, private management or other similar entity. Internal roads are frequently characterized by; lack of importance to traffic circulation outside of the development; the desire of frontage residents to maintain controlled access to the development or the desire of the property management to control access. These road are usually internal roads related to mobile home parks, condominiums, large apartment complexes and planned unit developments. Minimum Road Standards The Minimum Road Standards are the minimum requirements • pertaining to road geometry, cross section and construction quality that have been specifically adopted by City Council resolution for the construction of roads in Atascadero. Privately Maintained Road A Privately Maintained Road is a road that has not been specifically designated by City Council resolution as being included within the City maintained road system. Although a road is privately maintained, public access to the road may not be limited unless specifically designated an internal road (class VII) . A private road generally serves four or more lots of record although in the case of condominiums or other dense development schemes a driveway may serve in place of a private road. Public Right-Of-Way A Public Right-Of-Way is any right-of-way that the general public has a right of access. Public rights-of-way may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following. 1. Developed or undeveloped Atascadero Colony and Eaglet Tract road rights-of-way. 2 f- 2. Prescriptive roadway routes commonly traveled by the general public. 3. Privately owned and maintained streets other than internal streets (class VII) . 4. City owned and/or City maintained streets. S. A road, alley, pedestrian or other access right-of-way with width described in recorded documents. These public rights-of-way or easements do not necessarily include the underlying fee title. Because the road rights-of-way may be owned in fee by the frontage property owner, a bank, or the City, it may not be feasible to establish fee title to the public right-of-way for each lot. Road Geometry Characteristics Road geometry refers to the horizontal and vertical curve characteristics, superelevation, crowning or cross slope and the cross section dimensions. The road geometry is generally dictated by published design standards relating speed, sight distance, and driving comfort. The road geometry characteristics are directly related to driving comfort and safety. Road Quality Characteristics Road quality refers to considerations such as compaction, finishing, thickness of the aggregate base and pavement layers and quality of materials. Road quality characteristics are directly related to the durability and longevity of the completed road and the subsequent frequency of maintenance. • 3 GOALS The following is a list of goals to be considered in the application road policies. Within the existing framework of ordinances, policies, and concepts of fairness these goals may not be fully achievable. Despite this, they are listed here because of their intrinsic value with regards to improving the quality of the transportation environment for the general public. 1. Minimize the patchwork construction of roads. 2. Provide for long term road maintenance. 3. Clearly delegate liability by specifically defining the limits of City maintained and City owned streets. 4. Build streets to common, adopted standards to provide a safe environment for travel. Apply these standards equally to public and private road construction. 5. Build roads to a common level of quality to minimize future maintenance expense. Apply the same road construction standards to public as well as to private road construction projects. 6. Provide a maintenance system incorporating a fair allocation of tax funds. Accept roads into the City maintained system when they comply with the minimum standards defined by the City or conditions established by previous agreements. It is not intended that internal roads maintained and administered under a home owners association or other similar organization be transferred to the "City maintained" system. 7. Require private development to pay for the initial construction of roads rather than create an additional tax burden on the general public. 8. Complete the construction of access roads to City standards before occupancy of the frontage structures. 9. Preserve existing road rights-of-way for public circulation. Prevent encroachment into these rights-of-way that preclude future road construction, decrease safety of the traveling public or deny the traveling public access. 10. Utilize appropriate financing mechanisms to encourage the improvement of private roads to City standards. 11. Modify the Circulation Element of the General Plan so that it clearly delineates specific standards and road cross sections to be implemented as City policy. 4 SPECIFIC POLICY ACTIONS 1. Rewrite the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Clearly define the planning goals, including the width of the proposed improvements, bikeway routes, traffic indexes, sidewalk and walkway routes, truck routes and landscaping. 2. Develop financing alternatives for City Council consideration to fund road maintenance and improvement of roads that are not maintained by the City. 3. In order to preserve public rights-of-way for public circulation, the City Attorney will pursue the necessary steps to remove from the road rights-of-way unauthorized improvements where requested by the Director of Public Works. 4. Adopted City road standards shall be applied equally in the evaluation of public and private road construction for new and existing roads unless previous agreements allow exceptions. 5. The Director of Public Works shall present to the City Council a resolution formally adopting the Class I roads into the City maintained system. . 6. The Director of Public Works shall present to the City Council an encroachment permit ordinance for review. 7. The Director of Public Works shall present to the City Council a road construction permit ordinance for review. A road construction permit will be issued it conformance with adopted engineering design specifications and CEQA requirements. The permit ordinance shall establish a procedure for obtaining a modification from established road standards. • 5 Class I Roads (City Maintained Road) CHARACTERISTICS 1. The City Council has adopted a resolution accepting the road into the City maintained system, or, a specific Council resolution of acceptance has not been adopted but the City has previously and routinely completed substantial maintenance on the road using gas tax money to fund the maintenance, or, the road has intrinsic value, character or unique public importance to the City as specifically designated by the City Council. Roads improved under previous agreements. may be included as class I roads at the direction of the City Council. 2. The road may require nominal maintenance activity such as reconstructing the shoulders, signing, striping, relocating utilities, installing minor drainage improvements and resurfacing to fully comply with City standards. If the road has intrinsic value, character or unique public importance, as designated by the City Council, significant improvements dictated by City standards may be waived. 3. The road geometry is generally adequate. The street could be classified as a one-way or two-way street. The road has no obvious hazards to public safety. The deficiencies can be remedied with a reasonable allocation of public and/or private funds through the conditioning of private development or public maintenance activity. 4. The road generally does not have characteristics that would result in excessive, long term, maintenance expense to the City. However, the deficiencies can be remedied with a reasonable allocation of private and/or public funds through the conditioning of private development or through public maintenance activity. • 7 7- POLICY 1. Identify the Class I roads that have not been adopted • by City Council resolution. The Director of Public Works shall clearly define the acceptable limits of these roads and recommend that these sections of road be adopted into the City maintained system. The recommendation shall include a cost estimate of the initial expense necessary to bring the road into compliance with the City's road standards and to address any unique problems that may be associated with the road. Roads that have intrinsic value, character or unique public importance to the City as defined by the City Council but that will not necessarily be improved to City standards shall be identified. 2. If the roads are accepted by Council resolution into the City maintained system, include the adopted roads in the City' s road maintenance schedule. 3. Building permit, precise plan and conditional use permit conditioning will generally be limited to completing frontage improvements according to the Circulation Element and City standards. If there are significant offsite drainage impacts associated with the roads, offsite improvements will be required. Subdivision conditioning will be completed according to • the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act and existing City ordinances. 8 • Class II Roads (Privately Maintained Improved Road) CHARACTERISTICS 1. The road typically can be improved to conform with City standards through moderate construction activity. Conformance could be achieved by widening, constructing the shoulders, relocating utilities, signing, striping, installing minor drainage improvements, reconstructing areas demonstrating pavement or subgrade failure, straightening and resloping substandard curves, grading to improve sight distance and by resurfacing. 2. The road geometry is either generally adequate or can be brought into conformance. The street could be classified as a one-way or two-way street. The road has no obvious hazards to public safety that can't be remedied. The minor hazards can be remedied with a moderate allocation of private funds or other funding sources if available. 3. The road has not been designated an internal, privately managed street. POLICY • 1. The Director of Public Works generally will not recommend that the road be included into the City maintained system without first requiring that the road be improved to comply with City standards. However, it is the City' s policy to bring these roads into the City maintained system once the required improvements are completed. 2. The conditioning of new building permits, precise plans and conditional use permits will generally be limited to the completion of frontage improvements according to the Circulation Element and City standards. If there are significant offsite drainage impacts associated with the road, offsite improvements will be required. Subdivision conditioning will be completed according to the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act and existing City ordinances. This implies that fundamental improvements, such as road realignment and road reconstruction, may be required to enhance safety and to minimize maintenance. • 9 3. The City shall encourage the formation of assessment districts or other similar, privately funded programs to assist property owners to improve the roads to comply with City standards. 4. Public access to the road shall be maintained unless the City Council has specifically designated that public access may be limited. 5. The conversion of class II roads to class I roads shall be on a scale necessary to avoid patchwork construction. The minimum project size shall be determined by the Director of Public Works for each project. Class I roads upgraded from class II roads for the purpose of being accepted into the City maintained road system shall be contiguous to existing City maintained roads unless directed otherwise by the City Council. 6. A determination of applicable standards and a review of project plans shall be completed by the Department of Public Works prior to the issuance of an encroachment permit for upgrading a class II road. 10 . Class III Roads (Privately Maintained Improved Road With Significant Deficiencies) CHARACTERISTICS 1. The road can't be improved to comply with City standards without incurring significant environmental impacts. Compliance with standards could be achieved only with significant expenditures and extensive construction activity. 2. The road geometry is generally or specifically inadequate. The road may present significant hazards to public safety in one or more locations. The significant hazards can't be remedied without substantial expense and construction activity. POLICY 1. The Director of Public Works will not recommend that the road be included into the City maintained system. 2. Building permit, precise plan, and conditional use permit conditioning will require the completion of frontage improvements if feasible and reasonable. if there are significant offsite drainage impacts • associated with the road, offsite improvements will be required whenever practical. Project conditioning will also include measures to mitigate offsite hazards to the traveling public. 3. The Director of Public Works will recommend to the City Council and the City Planning Commission that the creation of additional lots or increasing zoning density, relying on Class III roads for access, be denied. 4. If road deficiencies are identified by the Director of Public Works as presenting a threat to public health and safety, or impede the access of emergency vehicles, and the deficiencies can be eliminated through the reasonable expenditure of public funds, then the Director of Public Works shall recommend to the City Council that the elimination of such deficiencies be included in the City's inventory of capital improvement projects (i.e. guardrails, signs, road patching, etc. ) . The use of City funds shall require authorization by the City Council prior to expenditure. 11 5. Public access to the road shall be maintained unless the City Council has specifically designated that public access may be limited. 6. The City will encourage the formation of privately funded programs to address long term maintenance. 7. Class III roads will be marked with signs indicating "private" roads in addition to other appropriate warnings signs. • • 12 Class IV Roads (Privately Maintained, Partially Improved Or Unimproved Road) CHARACTERISTICS 1. The road remains unimproved or partially improved, although the road is currently used for access and public circulation. It is feasible to construct a class I road within the road alignment and the relatively unimproved condition is not the result of physical or environmental constraints or excessively steep terrain. 2. No paving or only partial paving has been completed. Inadequate aggregate base is present beneath the asphalt. The drainage improvements are inadequate or nonexistent. The road right-of-way has not been preserved. There are fences, structures, surface utilities, trees or landscaping extending into the road cross section. There is the potential for potholes, washboarding, dust and erosion. POLICY • 1. Once the road is brought into compliance with City standards, the Director of Public Works shall recommend to the City Council that the road be included in the City maintained road system. The Director of Public Works will not recommend that the road be included into the City maintained system without first requiring that the road be improved to comply with minimum City standards. 2. The City shall encourage the formation of assessment districts or other similar, privately funded programs to assist property owners to improve the roads to comply with City standards. 3. Building permit, precise plan and conditional use permit conditioning will include the completion of frontage improvements, to the full width of the road, according to the Circulation Element and City standards, if feasible and reasonable, and the construction of access from the nearest class I or class II road to comply with the uniform fire code. The access will be designed and constructed according to the alignment, grade and structure necessary for the future completion of the road. Occupancy for permitted projects shall be denied until the road improvements are constructed. If there are significant offsite drainage impacts associated with the road, 13 offsite improvements will be required. Subdivision conditioning will be completed according to the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act and existing City ordinances. This implies that fundamental improvements, such as road realignment and road construction, may be required to provide a completed road, enhance safety and minimize maintenance. 4. The Director of Public Works will recommend to the City Council and to the Planning Commission that the creation of additional lots or increasing zoning density, relying on Class IV roads for access, be denied unless constructing the road to City .standards is made a condition of the project. 5. If road deficiencies are identified by the Director of Public Works as presenting a threat to public health and safety, or impede the access of emergency vehicles, and the deficiencies can be eliminated through the reasonable expenditure of public funds, then the Director of Public Works shall recommend to the City Council that the elimination of such deficiencies be included in the City' s inventory of capital improvement projects (i.e. guardrails, signs, road patching, etc. ) . . The use of City funds shall require authorization by the City Council prior to expenditure.. 6. Public access to the road shall be maintained unless the City Council has clearly designated that public access may be limited. 14 Class V Roads (Roads With Unique Problems) CHARACTERISTICS 1. Dangerous driving conditions result from the unique characteristics of the road. Elimination of these deficiencies cannot, practically, be completed. 2. The road may have a slope greater than 20%. 3. Due to topographical features there may be inadequate road width and conversion to a one-way street is not feasible. 4. There may be insufficient level area at the end of the road to install a fire department turn-around. 5. The road may be isolated by another road with unique problems. . POLICY 1. A policy will be created for each road with an emphasis on discouraging the use of these roads by the general public through the use of warning signs. • 2. Building permit, precise plan and conditional use permit conditioning will include the completion of frontage improvements if feasible and reasonable. If there are significant offsite drainage impacts associated with the road, offsite improvements will be required. Offsite signing may be required. 3. The Director of Public Works shall recommend to the City Council that the creation of additional lots or increasing zoning density, relying on Class V roads for access, be denied. 4. Public access shall be limited where possible unless the road is necessary for circulation. Signs shall be installed that clearly delineate the specific hazard. 5. The City will encourage the formation of privately funded programs to address long term maintenance. i 15 Class VI Roads (Paper Streets) CHARACTERISTICS 1. A road right-of-way exists as the result of previous subdivision, deed or similar action. 2. The road may or may not have been graded but is not commonly used by the public. 3. Improvements may have been previously constructed across these rights-of-way in disregard of the public' s right of access and circulation. POLICY 1. The rights-of-way associated with paper streets shall be preserved for public use unless formal abandonment has been completed. Public access shall be maintained unless the City Council has clearly 'designated that public access may be limited. 2. Construction activity or the installation of improvements within these rights-of-way shall be governed by encroachment permit ordinance or road construction permit ordinance. 3. Access rights to existing lots through these existing rights-of-way shall be preserved or an alternate access shall be provided. 16 . . 4. Building permit, precise plan and conditional use permit conditioning will include the completion of frontage improvements, to the full width of the road, according to the Circulation Element and City standards, if feasible and reasonable, and the construction of access from the nearest class I or class II road to comply with the uniform fire code. The access will be designed and constructed according to the alignment, grade and structure necessary for the future completion of the road. Occupancy for permitted projects shall be denied until the road improvements are constructed. If there are significant offsite drainage impacts associated with the road, offsite improvements will be required. Subdivision conditioning will be completed according to the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act and existing City ordinances. This implies that fundamental improvements, such as road realignment and road construction, may be required to provide a completed road, enhance safety and minimize maintenance. 5. A road construction permit shall be required prior to the construction of a class VI road. Appropriate CEQA review and compliance with the City' s Tree Protection • ordinance shall be required prior to the issuance of a road construction permit. The realignment of existing routes in order to decrease environmental impacts and to protect trees shall be encouraged although such considerations shall not supersede the requirement of providing a safe driving environment. . 17 Class VII Roads (Internal Roads) CiRACTERISTICS 1. An internal road is a privately maintained road that serves a development or developments governed by a homeowners association, private management or other similar entity. 2. Internal roads are frequently characterized by; lack of importance to traffic circulation outside of the development, the desire of frontage residents to maintain controlled access to the development or the desire of the property management to control access. High development density may require more oversight of the streets than is commonly necessary. 3. These road are usually internal roads related to mobile home parks, condominiums, large apartment buildings and planned unit developments. POLICY 1. The Director of Public Works will not recommend that the road be included in the City maintained system because of the unique characteristics of the road with regards to management and oversight. 2. Building permit, precise plan, and conditional use permit conditioning will be based on the overall design and character of the development, Uniform Fire Code requirements and the construction quality provisions of the City road standards. If there are significant offsite drainage impacts associated with the road, offsite improvements will be required. 3. During review of the project by the Planning Commission and/or the City Council the road shall be specifically designated an internal road and responsibility for maintenance and oversight shall be clearly delineated. 4. Internal roads will not be constructed in Colony or other public rights-of-way unless preceded by formal abandonment. 18 • SUMMARY OF ROAD CLASSIFICATIONS CLASS I ROADS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Review according to the California Environmental Quality Act and for project compliance with City ordinances and policies must be completed prior to the issuance of a road construction permit. 2. Prior to the issuance of a road construction permit or an encroachment permit the execution of a checking and inspection agreement is required. S. Prior to the issuance of permits for the construction of roads or improvement= within a public right-of-way. guarantees =hall be provided the City as directed by the Director of Public Works. Such quarantees shall generally include 100% for performance, 100% for materials and labor and 10% for maintenance, unless waived or modified by the Director of Public Works. A. The detailed nature of required road improvements shall be as delineated in City ordinances, standards arid the Circulation Element. Additionally. measures to improved public safety, driving comfort and ease of maintenance may be required such as, relocated utilities, removing objects from the road shoulder=, relocating or constructing drainage facilities, signing or striping or improving the geometric and quality characteristics of the road.
