Related Bristol Specific Plan Entitlements & Development Agreement (3600 S. Bristol St.) <br />and Staff Resolution Modifying Parking Districts in the Surrounding Area <br />September 17, 2024 <br />Page 8 <br />Residential and Senior Care Components <br />The SP would allow for up to 3,750 residential units. As proposed, all residential units <br />would be multi -family units in midrise structures. The majority of the project's 21 blocks <br />would contain upper -level residential units, while some of the blocks in the northern <br />portion would contain ground -level residential units, similar to the existing developments <br />to the west and north of the project site. <br />As the requested actions would establish a specific plan, individual residential buildings <br />and unit configurations would be reviewed as each implementing project is submitted to <br />the City for review through the administrative Development Project Review process, <br />similar to what takes place in other master -planned areas of the City, such as the <br />MainPlace or Harbor Boulevard specific plan areas. Should individual buildings fail to <br />satisfy the development standard and design requirements of the Specific Plan, they <br />would be remanded to the Planning Commission for review. <br />In addition to the residential component, the SP would allow for up to 200 senior <br />continuum of care living units, which are commercial in nature. This component would <br />allow for "aging in place," with a range of services and living accommodations ranging <br />from assisted living to skilled nursing and memory care, similar to existing facilities <br />found in Santa Ana such as Town & Country Manor near City Place. In the SP, the <br />senior continuum of care living units are envisioned to form one of two high-rises in the <br />community, with the other being the hotel. As proposed, the facility would contain 20 <br />stories (285 feet maximum) and provide for 0.6 parking spaces per unit, a rate that <br />takes into account reduced private vehicle ownership by residents but that also provides <br />for enough staff and service parking. <br />Commercial and Hotel Components <br />The SP would allow for up to 350,000 square feet of commercial space for a variety of <br />retail, eating establishment, service, and complementary uses designed to promote a <br />high -quality, urban village. The SP proposes a use matrix that focuses the most intense <br />commercial development in the southern portion of the site that is adjacent to South <br />Coast Plaza and the adjacent, existing commercial and high-rise office uses in the area. <br />Should uses and definitions transition over time, the SP contains flexibility that allows <br />the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency to issue a use determination <br />while maintaining consistency with the purposes and intent of the SP. <br />To ensure a broad range of regional and local -serving commercial uses are provided for <br />in the site, the SP proposes a variety of commercial space configurations. Commercial <br />uses will be permissible in mixed -use residential and commercial buildings, as <br />standalone commercial buildings in the southern heart of the Village Core area, or <br />integrated as part of the proposed hotel. The commercial component of the SP will be <br />
