(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1) The neighborhood surrounding the former Cypress section of Route 880 in Oakland has suffered great and unusual hardship due to the freeway’s collapse during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake and its subsequent demolition.

(2) In addition to the hardship and suffering related to the freeway disaster, the Cypress neighborhood had endured for many years the pollution, noise, and environmental degradation of having a freeway cut through the neighborhood.

(3) The Cypress neighborhood will face additional hardships related to the Cypress freeway reconstruction project for, unlike other freeway projects elsewhere, this will be the second time that residents and businesses in that neighborhood will be required to endure freeway construction-related problems, dislocations, and sacrifices.

(b) In order to alleviate a portion of those problems for residents and businesses in the Cypress neighborhood, the Legislature has enacted this article.

The department shall establish and apply pertinent planning and design standards for development of official scenic highways.

In establishing and applying such standards for, and undertaking the development of, official scenic highways, the department shall take into consideration the concept of the “complete highway,” which is a highway which incorporates not only safety, utility, and economy but also beauty. The department shall also take into consideration in establishing such standards that, in a “complete highway,” pleasing appearance is a consideration in the planning and design process. In the development of official scenic highways, the department shall give special attention both to the impact of the highway on the landscape and to the highway’s visual appearance. The standards for official scenic highways shall also require that local governmental agencies have taken such action as may be necessary to protect the scenic appearance of the scenic corridor, the band of land generally adjacent to the highway right-of-way, including, but not limited to, (1) regulation of land use and intensity (density) of development; (2) detailed land and site planning; (3) control of outdoor advertising; (4) careful attention to and control of earthmoving and landscaping; and (5) the design and appearance of structures and equipment.
