This is in conjunction with the on-going ABS Auto Auction Parking Lot Expansion and Manufactured Office Project located at 1630 Fairway Drive. The project was approved by the Design Review Committee February 21, 2006. The conditions of approval set by the Public Works Department for this project required the developer to widen Fairway Drive to a sufficient width and construct the following street improvements: replacement of pavement, installation of sidewalk, driveways and install landscaping. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: On February 13, 2008 the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting reviewed the requested road closure required for the developer to install the conditioned improvements. The road closure will block the west- and east -bound traffic along Fairway Drive starting from the intersections of South Auto Plaza Drive and Camino Real Street for five (5) consecutive days. During the road closure the traffic will be re-routed within the peripheral streets. Eastbound traffic from the City of Colton will take Auto Plaza Drive northbound to the City of San Bernardino. While westbound traffic from the City of San Bernardino will take Camino Real Street northbound to city of Colton. A -Cone Zone Inc, has also submitted the traffic control plan to the City of San Bernardino and was given a permit for this temporary road closure. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact for the City of Colton associated with the street closure; the developer has paid all required street improvement fees. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The proposed public improvements are exempt under CEQA Section 15301 — Repair and maintenance of existing facilities with no expansion of an existing use.
