Related Bristol Specific Plan Entitlements & Development Agreement (3600 S. Bristol St.) and Staff Resolution Modifying Parking Districts in the Surrounding Area October 1, 2024 Page 19 with a range of building heights and configurations in two mixed -use Districts/Villages, with heights and intensities within the limits identified in the General Plan. • The General Plan requires fiscal neutrality (Policy LU 2.4).
