Staff seeks removal of proposed westward extension of Capitol Hill Boulevard from master street plan
Summary
Planning staff introduced an ordinance to amend the master street plan to remove a proposed westward extension of Capitol Hill Boulevard; staff said property owners in the area agreed to the removal and the change follows an earlier adjustment discussed by the board.
Planning staff introduced an ordinance to amend the master street plan to remove a proposed westward extension of Capitol Hill Boulevard, telling the City Board that nearby property owners support the change.
The item matters because the master street plan governs long-term roadway corridors and removal of a proposed link could affect property development and future right-of-way expectations in the area.
A planning staff speaker described the item: "This is an ordinance to amend the master street plan to remove the proposed westward extension of Capitol Hill Boulevard, a minor arterial street from the master street plan." The speaker said the three property owners in the vicinity agreed to the removal and that the request was originally initiated by staff at the property owner's request.
Board members had no substantive objections at the agenda-review session and staff said the change coincides with an earlier adjustment discussed at the prior meeting. The item will proceed through the normal ordinance schedule and public notification for final action.
Staff said they would return with the final ordinance for a subsequent meeting and that the property owners and staff had coordinated on the request.
