TTT Pedestrian and Bicycle WNW The existing mall is oriented internally, with pedestrian access points into the mall building in several locations. Crosswalks are present crossing Main Street at the signalized intersections and providing access across Main Place Drive from Broadway, Bedford Road, and parking areas. A regional trail, Santiago Creek Trail, terminates at the eastern side of Broadway at the Main Place Drive intersection, providing bicycle access to the Specific Plan area from the City of Orange. An on- street/Class II bike lane will be provided on both sides of Main Place Drive as part of a restriping program. The resulting street will be comprised of two travel lanes and a center turn lane to accommodate the striped bike lanes (see Figure 2-9, Cross Section). Presently no sidewalks are provided on Main Place Drive due to constrained right-of-way. The circulation plan includes provision of a sidewalk on the project side of Main Place Drive, within a 15' building setback from the Main Place Drive right-of-way (see Figure 2-9, Cross Section and 2-11, Non -Vehicular Circulation). Walkways are presently provided at the mall entries and connections with existing parking structures. Figure 2-11, Non -Vehicular Circulation, illustrates the anticipated pedestrian connections, including a new sidewalk on the inner edge of Main Place Drive. This figure also establishes a hierarchy of pedestrian -oriented streetscape conditions that reference the Pedestrian Zone exhibits in Section 3. These pedestrian zone exhibits show a defined relationship between the pedestrian zone adjacent to each street and the adjacent building type. The pedestrian zone will consist of a minimum 10- to 12-foot zone comprised of a walkway and planting zone and will be provided along the frontage of implementing projects within the Urban Village District as they develop (see Figure 2-11, Non -Vehicular Circulation Plan). DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1 2 A unique solution to providing bicycle parking in the form of public art. Bicycle Racks will be provided in conjunction with commercial, office, and residential implementing projects. 2.6.3 Parking Existing MainPlace Mall is surrounded by both surface and structured parking. A total of 4,882 parking spaces are present in the existing condition. Of these existing parking spaces, 2,942 are provided in the three parking structures. The site is presently overparked based on parking ratios established as part of past entitlements. As development projects are submitted to the City, a parking plan for that phase will be included to show provided parking for each use, and replacement parking when required to maintain minimum parking ratios. Parking ratios for the project are outlined in Section 3, Development Regulations. Individual residential projects will self - park for tenants, with residential tenant parking spaces separated from commercial, hotel, or office parking. Residential visitor parking may be shared with parking provided for other uses, or on lots other than the residential development. MAINPLACE SPECIFIC PLAN 1 2-19
