Abstract:
This paper discusses thre administrative and regulatory mechanisms that are utilized by three southern California cities to manage arterial access: the city of Upland, the city of Irvine, and the city of Anaheim. As illustrated by case studies for these three cities, there are a broad range of administrative and regulatory tools that can be used by municipal planners and traffic engineers to manage access. For mature commercial areas, such as Upland's Foothill Boulevard or Anaheim's Commercial Recreation Area, zoning ordinances which regulate parcel dimensions and the number and frequency of curb cuts are effective tools for controlling access to infill or substantially renovated developments. Master plans and specific plans become effective tools for new communities such as Irvine, or mature commercial areas undergoing major revitalization such as that proposed within Anaheim.
