Utilities and facilities for projects within the commercial corridor specific plan shall be extended and/or constructed in conjunction with construction of buildings approved pursuant to this chapter and in accord with approved plans and policies of the public works department and mitigation measures as may be specified in environmental documentation pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. Specific requirements for additional facilities are as follows:
A. Utilities.
1. All on-site water supply, wastewater collection, storm drainage, and sewer lines and facilities shall be provided by the developer in accord with the city's master plans for water, sewers, and drainage unless costs are borne by the redevelopment agency as a result of a negotiated development agreement.
2. All utility lines serving the site including natural gas, electrical, water, wastewater and communications lines shall be placed underground by the developer as a condition of approval of building permits.
3. Adequate water for estimated consumption, as determined by the city public works department and for fire flow requirements, as determined by the City of Long Beach Fire Department, shall be provided by the developer.
4. For any development within the commercial corridor specific plan area, the practicality of providing public facilities without incurring unusual public costs shall be demonstrated by the developer.
5. Cost for improvements to water, drainage, and sewer systems included in the city's adopted master plans for water, drainage and sewers shall be assigned in accordance with a cost-benefit formula established by the public works director, based on current engineering construction costs, as amended from time-to-time or borne by the redevelopment agency as a result of the negotiated development agreement.
6. No structures shall be permitted to be developed over existing major pipeline or power line easements, except where these can be relocated. Should relocation of minor pipelines be necessary, such relocation shall be completed by the developer or borne by the redevelopment agency as a result of a negotiated development agreement.
B. Transportation and Circulation. Transportation and circulation improvements required for implementation of the commercial corridor specific plan, as described in this section, shall be installed and funded by the developer unless otherwise provided as a result of a negotiated development agreement with the redevelopment agency.
1. The traffic signal at 28th Street and Cherry Avenue must be evaluated, prior to issuance of building permits, as to the need for upgrading using standard traffic engineering criteria. Specific upgrades to be considered include the following:
a. Left-turn phasing on Cherry Avenue;
b. Rechannelization to provide left turn lanes on 28th Street;
c. Additional lane detection on Cherry Avenue and on 28th Street.
