Staff believes that the area between J Street extended and Telegraph Canyon Road (see attached plat for precise area boundaries) can be considered for release from the moratorium to allow plans to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. In Staff's opinion these areas are primarily tributary to Telegraph Canyon Road and should bear the responsibility for construction of Telegraph Can- yon Road and the adjacent drainage channel. These areas are only secondarily tributary to "H" Street. Since under typical assessment procedures, properties are responsible for only one major roadway, it is unlikely that these areas would or should bear responsibility for the construction of "H" Street. Therefore their early development would probably not have a bearing, on the timing of con- struction of that street. However, the 1970 plan of record designates substantial portions of the Telegraph Canyon Road frontage for multiple family and commercial development which is now considered by Staff to be inappropriate. Therefore, a condition of the lift- ing of the moratorium should be that the Planning Commission and City Council will consider development plans on their own merit and without regard to the designations shown on the plan of record. Additionally, if new developments are proved along Telegraph Canyon Road without appropriate construction on that road, Staff is concerned that traffic conditions may prove to be unsafe and congestive. To provide a safe roadway it is important that Telegraph Canyon Road be improved from west to east. Therefore, if develop- ment does not improve sequentially from west to east, Staff will insist at the time of review of the Development Plan that sufficient off-site improvements on Telegraph Canyon Road be provided by the Developer to ensure the public's safety and convenience.
