BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTIONIn accordance with General Plan Goal 4-2 the City adopted the Del Mar Master Plan(DMMP) in 2009. The DMMP addresses issues related to parking, circulation, publicaccess, aesthetics and environmental resources of the parking area and adjacent dunes

and was reviewed by the Planning Commission, City Council and Coastal Commission.On 11 November 2012 the City was awarded a $250,000 grant from the CoastalConservancy to implement elements of the DMMP.

Part of the DMMP encouraged the construction of a pedestrian pathway along SanAntonio Avenue from Ocean Avenue to Fourth Avenue and an ADA accessibleboardwalk and viewing platform west of the Del Mar parking area. The PlanningCommission has issued Design Review and Coastal Development permits for theseprojects. The purpose of this item on the agenda is to present the plans to the CityCouncil to ensure it concurs with the Planning Commission approvals.

The plans include the following:

San Antonio Pathway

A decomposed granite pathway on the west side of San Antonio Avenue betweenOcean Avenue and 4th Avenue.

A new planter at the intersection of San Antonio and 4th. The reduction in size of the existing center island planter at the intersection of San

Antonio and 4th.
