Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other X recreational facilities such that substanfial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of X recreational facilities which might have an adverse hysical effect on the environment?

New residents are anticipated to use existing parks and playground located in existing school facilities in adjacent neighborhoods, since siting of a park on a State Highway would create potential land use conflicts. The City has a map of existing parks in the General Plan that shows the location of existing recreational facilities that could serve new residents that may locate along East 14~' Street.

EXPLANATION: The overall intent of the Development Strategy is to not only create new public streetscape improvements, but to also promote high-quality architecture through new development and renovations of existing buildings. The proposed cross sections related to the street improvements are intended to create a more pedestrian friendly environment while improving overall vehicular and pedestrian safety. The proposed Design Guidelines will be used in conjunction with the proposed new South Area zoning regulations to ensure that new buildings and renovations have desired architectural elements that will enhance the visual setting withi th E t 14m S C n e as treet orridor. The Design Guidelines are also intended to provide siting criteria to respect existing development, especially the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Collectively, the public improvements coupled with improvements on private property will lead to a much more visually attractive environment along East 14"' Street. Individual development proposals that occur after the Development Strategy is adopted will undergo separate environmental review.
