C-3 PRECISE PLAN OF STREET ALIGNMENT NO. 88-1
APPLICANT: CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Precise Plan of Street Alignment No. 88-1 proposes to align Walnut
Avenue between Lake Street and Beach Boulevard. The adopted City
Circulation Plan designates this segment of Walnut as a primary
arterial. The street will be located approximately 380 feet north
of, and roughly parallel to, Pacific Coast Highway, curving slightly
northward at the eastern end of the segment to "T" into Beach
Boulevard. The extension is approximately 7/10 mile long,
intersecting Huntington Street approximately 380 feet north of
Pacific Coast -Highway (just north of the bend in Huntington
Street). The extension will be 90 feet wide, and will include two
travel lanes and a bike lane in each direction as well as a raised
median. Although a primary arterial is usually 100 feet in width, a
90 foot width for Walnut was agreed upon by the City in a 1986
agreement with the Huntington Beach Company. The City agreed to
accept dedication and install improvements for the portion of Walnut
Avenue passing through Huntington Beach Company property between
Lake Street and Huntington Street, at.such time as the property
develops. The portion of Walnut Avenue between Huntington Street
and Beach Boulevard will be constructed should the Waterfront
project be approved. The street would be constructed in phases in
conjunction with the project phasing, to include the portion between
Huntington Street and the eastern edge of Phase 1 with the Phase 1
Hotel, and the remaining segment to Beach Boulevard in conjunction
with Phases 2 and 3..
