Document Description
The proposed project (preferred alternative) includes 251 new parking spaces on property owned by USACE within the Sante Fe Flood Control Basin, and adjacent to the City of Hope Medical Center in the City of Duarte. City of Hope currently operates a license from USACE to provide temporary parking on a portion of the project site. The project will expand parking capacity for Medical Center visitors, and is intended site to provide interim parking while new buildings are being constructed on existing parking lots on the hospital property.
The expanded, unpaved parking lot will be covered in a gravel/ base material, and all parking stalls will be striped. A 15 foot wide equestrian trail easement/ maintenance road will remain along the eastern border of the project site. The easement will be paved with decomposed granite, and a 3.5 foot high decorative, corral-style fence will separate the easement from the rest of the parking lot. Hiker access will remain available through both ends of the project site at the equestrian trail connections. Vehicular access to the project site will occur at three gates connecting the existing parking lot to the new facility. These access points will be gated and kept open when the parking area is in use, and emergency and maintenance access will be served by a gated driveway at Duarte Road. The Duarte Road perimeter will be fenced with wrought iron. The proposed project will also include landscaping, consisting of primarily native trees and shrubs with a drip irrigation system.
