Report of the City Manager read in which he advised Planning Commission, after public hearing held on October 11th, had recommended these Plan Lines be adopted, and that Staff concurred in the recommendation. He further advised action recommended is an interim action which will retain Plan Lines in effect beyond their expiration date of November 26th, but that State Division of Highways had advised the right-of-way width provided is insufficient to provide parking lanes now required by State specifications. He advised that Plan Lines pro- posed could be modified when final determination has been made on the configuration of Jefferson Avenue widening, based on the outcome of the Downtown Plan and West Bay Rapid Transit studies. Planning Commission report read recommending adoption of Plan Lines as proposed. Staff report read stating Plan Lines originally established in 1962 and would expire in November of this year. It was also reported Downtown Plan Indicates an undercrossing of railroad at this location which would require considerably wider right-of-way than present Plan Lines, but in view of lack of concrete actions with respect to Rapid Transit or implementation of Downtown Plan, Staff recommended re-establishment of present Plan Lines on basis of grade crossing only.
