PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
'O-syoBEPc� Agenda Item #12.13
Meeting Date: September 17, 2024
TITLE:
Potential Boundary Street End Closure List
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide staff with direction for potential boundary street end closures.
DISCUSSION:
In November 2014, the voters of the City of Pismo Beach adopted Measure H-2014, which amended the City's General Plan in several regards, specifically with reference to development in Planning Area R. Planning Area R consists of a number of parcels, which are outside of the city limits, but within the City's sphere of influence. Measure H-2014 placed a limit on the size of parcels within Planning Area R, and it further limited the types of land uses allowed within Planning Area R, should those properties ever be annexed into the City in the future.
Measure H-2014 also removed references in the City's Land Use and Circulation elements of the General Plan to an "inland arterial" road running from Price Canyon Road to Oak Park Boulevard, as well as references to the extension of Highland Drive and Ventana Road to the inland arterial. Since the inland arterial and connections to the inland were no longer included as part of the City's General Plan, several roads that previously dead-ended at the city limit (Rancho Pismo Drive, Highland Drive, Ventana Drive, and Morgan Drive) were no longer needed for vehicular traffic into Planning Area R, and the City closed these roads via Resolution R-2018-093 on November 27, 2018. The full staff report from that meeting is available for download from the Access Pismo' public records portal.
On August 6, 2024, staff presented the City Council with options for closing Ridge Road at the city boundary. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to return with a list of all streets in the city that have a similar configuration of dead-ending into undeveloped properties within the county. Staff prepared a list, moving from the northern end of the city to the south, which is shown below:
• Bluff Drive • Stratford Street
• Mattie Road • Fresno Street
• Westpoint Drive • Bakersfield Street
• Baxter Lane • Tulare Street
• Hanford Street • Longview Avenue
• Wadsworth Street • Panorama Drive

Bluff Drive
Bluff Drive is a private street owned and maintained by the Bluffs Homeowners' Association; it has gate-controlled access to ensure that public passage is controlled by the homeowners within the HOA. Bluff Drive ends at Cave Landing Road, an emergency access road that lies immediately outside the city limits and connects to Avila Beach.
There are seven parcels, all located outside city limits, that front Cave Landing Road.
Bluff Drive, Cave Landing Road and the seven parcels are shown in Figure 1.

Mattie Road
Mattie Road, at its northern terminus, dead-ends at a locked gate which provides access to APN 079-181-008, a 78.81-acre parcel located in the county, shown in Figure 2. While it appears that other access roads are available for this parcel, staff believes that the Mattie Road access is likely the most convenient and most highly-trafficked access.
