Adopted by resolution, the Plan is subject to periodic review to keep it abreast of changing conditions, for the Master Plan is dynamic." The Master Plan, City of Santa Monica V The Need for Revision Since its original preparation and adoption in 1958 the Master Plan has been an important instrument in guiding the continued growth and development of Santa Monica. Many proposals advanced by the Master Plan have become existing realities while numerous others show evidence of early completion. Although important advances have been made during the brief period it has been in existence, one of the important concepts of the Master Plan is that it is a dynamic rather than a static plan. One of the basic elements of the Master Plan is that of periodic review and revision to keep pace with changing conditions while presenting an accur- ate picture of the direction of future growth and development. A comprehensive appraisal of the Master Plants proposals for that section of the city lying south of Pico Boulevard and west of Lincoln Boulevard reveals a present need for revision in several areas. Import- ant developments have occurred which demonstrate both the influence of the Master Plan and the need for revision to adequately reflect the accomplish- ments to date. The Ocean Park Redevelopment Project is proceeding rapidly toward completion, the Joslyn Park site has been acquired and developed; public off street parking lots have been acquired and improved, plans fCr major improvement of the circulation pattern have been prepared by the Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department; and, several substantial residential developments have been completed or are under construction. Consequently, a thorough re -study of the area has been conducted and a list of proposed revisions and additions tcF this segment of the Master Plan prepared. Although no basic alteration in the overall scope of the plan is recommended, the proposed revisions will effect changes in 3 gen- eral areas including.- 1. A revised, expanded and more efficient circul- ation system, 2. Modification of the high density residential pattern along the Ocean Front, 3. A clearer identification of existing public facilities.

The traffic Engineering Division has prepared preliminary plans for the widening, and realignment of Sixth Street to provide continuity and serve as a secondary street in the area. AA SSecondary Thoroughfare along the general alignment of Strand Street. The Traffic Engineering Division has also prepared preliminary plans for the realignment and widening of Strand Street to provide needed east -west movement in this area. 3. Joslyn Park becomes an existing park suitable fcrexpansicn ra Since the original preparation of the Master P au, the Joslyn Park site has been acquired and developed. Future expansion of this park is proposed by the Comprehensive Recreation Plana 1�. The Branch Library Site _originally proposed as mart of a nei hborhood commercial center at Fourth Street and Ocean Park Boulevara as ris eloca'ed to the general vicinity of Mary Hotchkiss Park. The new site has several advantages. It is in clove proxinity to the two proposed elementary school sites and is still centrally located to the area served. The existing Mary Hotchkiss Park site offers the possibility of com- bining the library facilities into the park., 5a notion of - The Traffic Engineering Division has established that the traffic volume and topographic features require a grade separation at this intersection. Preliminary plans for both the grade separation and widening of tie streets in- volved have been prepared by the Traffic Engineer. 6. The elimination of _a one wa street designated: for a por�ion of Ashland Avenue. 11- s the determination of traffic movement and control is she respon- sibility of the Traffic Engineering Division, the direction of traffic flow on this street is more properly left to the descretion and professional judg- ment of the Traffic Engineer. 70 Street avy Streets in this area have been prepared by the Traffic Engineering Division. $e A Ma.ior Thoroughfare along the general aligznment of Main Street to connect with Ocean Avenue and the Southwesterhr city limits. Preliminary plans for the expansion of Main Street into a major thor- oughfare have been prepared by the Traffic Engineering Division. Proposed high density residential development in this area requires a major thoroughfare link- ing Ocean Avenue and the Central Business District with the southwesterly city limits and the area beyond. 91 All land in this designated area is basically similar in nature and situation and therefore, good planning practice would demand that similar residental uses be applied. Existing zoning restrictions on most of the area which would be affected is already R -4, multiple residential, which permits high - density, high rise residential structures. 10. inall The considerations which indicated the need for neighborhood commer- cial facilities in this vicinity have not appreciably changed, and the proposed high density residential uses in this area will still require a neighborhood commercial center. However, due to the present residential character of the area, the existing topography, and the need for a grade separation at the intersection of Fourth Street and Ocean Park, it is evident that commercial facilities would be better located at some other site. Relocation of these facilities to the general vicinity of Main Street and Ocean Park Boulevard has the advantages of designating commercial activity in an area presently in commercial use, more suitable for commercial activity, and partially with- in or adjacent to the area under redevelopment. llo link ccess Thee Traffic Engineering Division has prepared preliminary plans showing the general re-alignment of Pier Avenue and Marine Street as part of the secondary street system serving the Redevelopment Project.
