VIL CITY INFORMATION <br />BRISTOL STREET IMPROVEMENTS <br />The majority of the parcels are located on Bristol Street. Within the City of Santa Ana, Bristol <br />Street is classified as a north -south Major Arterial per the City's General Plan Circulation <br />Element (GPCE) and the County of Orange's Master Plan of Arterial Highway (MPAH). Due <br />to growth experienced during the late 1980's resulting in traffic congestion and safety concern <br />with lack of bike lane, the City of Santa Ana proposed to improve Bristol Street providing <br />adequate vehicular capacity and adding bike lanes from Warner Ave. to Memory Lane. <br />The proposed improvements have been designed utilizing Complete Streets principals to <br />provide safe, comfortable, and convenient travel for all users — pedestrians, bicyclists, transit <br />riders, and motorists. <br />Safety: The narrow travel lanes and raised median will deter speeding through the project <br />segment; Landscape parkways will provide a safe buffer between pedestrians and motorists; <br />Bicyclists will travel in a designated bike lane instead of mixing flow with vehicles and <br />pedestrians; longer raided median and cul-de-sac streets are potentially reduced controlled left <br />turn movements and improved traffic flow. <br />Accessibility: Installation of wider sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and bike lanes will <br />greatly improve accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists. <br />Traffic Flow: Improving the remaining phases of Bristol Street will complete the ultimate <br />roadway cross section with six lanes between Warner Ave to 17th St. Ultimately, the proposed <br />Bristol Street improvements will provide safe mobility for all users while improving traffic <br />flow. <br />Development along the Bristol Street Corridor must adhere the Bristol Street Specific Plan.

In 2010, the City <br />adopted Specific Development 84 (Transit Zoning Code), a comprehensive land use plan <br />that incorporates approximately 450 acres extending from Grand Avenue to the City's <br />downtown core. The Transit Zoning Code (TZC) is designed to provide the zoning necessary <br />to supportthe long-term development of a successful transit program. The completed document <br />can be viewed in its entirety at: <br />httn://www.ci.santa-ana.ca.us/nba/nlanning/Transit Zoning Code.asn <br />The Transit Zoning Code encourages transit -oriented development containing a mix of <br />residential, commercial, and professional uses to achieve the City's and the region's goals <br />of establishing housing adjacent to transit. The Transit Zoning Code area is primed for <br />increased growth given its proximity to major transit systems and its adjacency to existing <br />residential communities, creating amenity -enriched connections between the government center <br />and rail station, and improving area -wide walkability. <br />City of Santa Ana RFP 19-026 <br />Page 10 <br />
