Planning staff, Planning Commission back reducing 600 West right-of-way from 63' to 60' in packet
Summary
Planning staff and the Planning Commission propose changing the codified 600 West standard road profile from a 63-foot ROW to a 60-foot ROW, removing the east sidewalk, narrowing bike lanes from 6' to 5', and increasing park strips to 6' (west) and 8' (east); the packet cites existing conditions and a positive Planning Commission recommendation of Feb. 19, 2026.
The packet’s 600 West standard road profile item explains that the current codified right-of-way for 600 West is 63 feet while existing conditions measure about 60 feet. Planning staff recommend changing the codified standard to 60 feet and note that the Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation on February 19, 2026.
The proposed standard preserves two 12-foot travel lanes and curb-and-gutter while reducing bike paths from two 6-foot lanes to two 5-foot lanes, removing the sidewalk on the east side of 600 West while keeping a 5-foot sidewalk on the west, and increasing park strips (west 6 feet; east 8 feet). The packet frames the change as reducing the burden on property owners who would otherwise be asked to dedicate land to achieve a wider ROW while maintaining street functionality.
