2❑ <br />F. Over the course of two meetings on June 28 and July 13, the CDCT reached <br />consensus on the conceptual design for all five street segments. However, the CDCT did not <br />reach agreement on the overall design concept because of an outstanding issue regarding the <br />minimum street width. Through a consensus-based decision process, the CDCT determined <br />there were compelling reasons to support a minimum street width of 18 feet (two nine-foot travel <br />lanes). Reasons supporting the recommendation included the CDCT's themes and values <br />regarding preserved neighborhood livability, reduction of traffic speeds, efficient use of urban <br />land in a rural setting, increased safety for all modes of use, and focus on a footprint that fits the <br />neighborhood's character. As such- an 1 R-fnnt Qt-r-t .virlth was perceived to be more consistent <br />with the rD' i 's adopted themes and values than a 20-foot street width. tsascd or those <br />:.oilaboratively developed values, it was the consensus recommendation of the CDCT to pursue a <br />legislative change to the minimum street width (18 feet rather than the prescribed minimum of <br />20 feet) prior to making a decision on the overall design concept. <br />G. Resolu>iut, *T-.. _ 16052 winntinu the. T)e..Cion RtnmAorA- <br />_ Guiaelines contains a <br />provision authorizing administrative amendments to the Design Standards and Guidelines.
