Maximum building height in plan area is 30 feet –to remain in place Regulated by Coastal Height Limit and
Clairemont Mesa Height Limit Overlay Zones
Mobility – Review of Existing Challenges
Challenging area for pedestrians to walk adjacent to the site (lack of sidewalks; lack of separation from vehicles; steep slopes)
Challenging area for bicyclists to get to the site (no facilities on Garnet / Balboa, no facilities on Morena)
Heavy vehicle traffic in area; roads designed for vehicle traffic
Limited width on Garnet / Balboa with I-5 freeway undercrossing – what modes should get preference?
Steep slopes and grade differences
Mobility Previously Planned Facilities
Station project providing some pedestrian connections along Morena Blvd and to Garnet Ave / Balboa Ave
Planned bicycle connections Rose Creek Trail extension
(north) Balboa Avenue bike lanes
(paint) Morena Boulevard bike
facility
Mobility Goals
Bicycle connections Striving for comfortable route for average bicyclist – even if longer distance Wayfinding signs
Pedestrian environment Complete missing sidewalks and improve pedestrian experience Pedestrian-scale lighting for pedestrian route to/from station Wayfinding signs
Vehicle Connections Evaluating intersection improvements at Mission Bay Dr/ Garnet Ave (pending preferred bike network) Evaluating intersection improvements at Mission Bay Dr/ Grand Ave Modifications to ramps along Garnet Ave / Balboa Ave at Morena Blvd and I-5
Mobility Goals
Transit connections Connection between the station and the beach Connection between the station and other areas in community
would be similar to existing routes Provide comfortable walking areas near transit
Other station features Bike share program on site Car share program on site Utilize App-enabled ride share services; dedicate pick-up / drop-off area
Mobility/Land Use – Opportunities and Constraints
Private properties (storage, car dealerships) limit potential crossing locations
Minimum changes to land use characteristics result in minimum changes to mobility patterns
Preliminary Concepts - East
Connections to the east
Balboa Ave only direct option to the east
Specific Plan to include completing sidewalk network and improved bicycle facilities “up the hill”
Preliminary Concepts – Morena Blvd
Connections to the south and north via Morena Blvd
Morena Boulevard is primary connection to south Planned bicycle improvements, either striping
or separated bike facility
Need consistent facility along Morena Boulevard that ties into site layout
Preliminary Concepts – North Options
Other connection to the north Option 1 – Morena Boulevard to Santa Fe
Street connection to Rose Creek Trail at north end
Option 2 – Damon Ave connection to Rose Creek Trail east of freeway
Option 3 – Damon Ave connection to Rose Creek Trail west of freeway
Main challenges are elevation differences and crossing Garnet / Balboa – getting to Santa Fe Street or Damon Ave
LOOKING FOR INPUT IN BREAKOUT SESSION!
Option 3: Damon Ave connection to Rose Creek Trail west of freeway
Preliminary Concepts – West OptionsAlternative 1 – Avoid Garnet Ave / Balboa Ave; Cross I-5
