NEGATIVE DECLARATION Mayor Evans asked GENERAL PLAN ADDITION Chuck Zimmerman, SCENIC CORRIDOR ELEMENT Planning Director, for a presentation of the proposed Scenic Corridor Element of the City of Santa Aha adding a Scenic Corridor Element to the General Plan. Mr. Zimmerman explained that the State requires several General Plan elements, one of which is the Scenic Corridors ~lement; that although the original intent of the State was to designate State highway routes as "scenic routes" with the official state designation, it did not preclude local agencies from developing and adopting local scenic routes; because of the lack of existing and potentital State "scenic highways", the plan identifies and considers local scenic amenities and corridors for emphasis in this Scenic Corridor Plan. Mr. Zimmerman asked Mr. Sundstrom of the Planning Department to explain the key factors of the Plan, which were described as 1) Linkages to parks, 2) Boulevard and parkway development, 3) Urban entrances, 4) State freeway system, 5) Railroad and utility rights of way, and 5) The Bicycle Plan.
