Major Streets and Routes - Open Data

The MS&R Plan identifies the general location and size of existing and proposed freeways, arterial and collector streets, future rights-of-way, setback requirements, typical intersections and cross sections, and gateway and scenic routes. The City’s Department of Transportation and the Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) implement the MS&R Plan. The MS&R Plan is considered a Land Use Plan as defined in the Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 3.6, and, therefore, is subject to amendment in accordance with the standard Land Use Plan and Adoption and Amendment Procedures. The MS&R right-of-way lines are used in determining the setback for development through the MS&R Overlay provisions of the UDC. As stated in the current MS&R Plan, page 4, “The purpose of the Major Streets and Routes Plan is to facilitate future street widening, to inform the public which streets are the main thoroughfares, so that land use decisions can be based accordingly, and to reduce the disruption of existing uses on a property. By stipulating the required right-of-way, new development can be located so as to prepare for planned street improvements without demolition of buildings or loss of necessary parking.” Purpose The major purposes of the Major Streets and Routes Plan are to identify street classifications, the width of public rights-of-way, to designate special routes, and to guide land use decisions. General Plan policies stipulate that planning and developing new transportation facilities be accomplished by identifying rights-of-way in the Major Streets and Routes Plan. The policies also aim to encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel, "minimize disruption of the environment," and "coordinate land use patterns with transportation plans" by using the street classification as a guide to land use decisions.
