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 8 Land Use Proposed Intensity Existing Intensity Proposed Parkin Open Space (Publicly Up to 13.1 acres 0 acres N/A Accessible) Total Parking Spaces Constructed: 6,520 With Valet: 8,940 In addition to the uses above, the SP is structured to foster creation of a multi -modal, mixed -use urban village to implement the vision of the General Plan for the South Bristol Street Focus Area. Development standards are proposed to establish wide sidewalks along all street frontages, pedestrian pathways with opportunities for outdoor dining, landscape buffers between the sidewalks and street, bike lanes, and landscape medians. The site would be developed as 21 blocks; multiple roadways designed to create a grid pattern found in contemporary, mixed -use villages as a means of creating more walkable, pedestrian -scaled communities would bisect the site. Onsite roadways would also be designed with similar principles, with sidewalks, landscape buffers, on - street parking, and vehicle travel lanes. Residential and Senior Care Components The SP would allow for up to 3,750 residential units. As proposed, all residential units would be multi -family units in midrise structures. The majority of the project's 21 blocks would contain upper -level residential units, while some of the blocks in the northern portion would contain ground -level residential units, similar to the existing developments to the west and north of the project site. As the requested actions would establish a specific plan, individual residential buildings and unit configurations would be reviewed as each implementing project is submitted to the City for review through the administrative Development Project Review process, similar to what takes place in other master -planned areas of the City, such as the MainPlace or Harbor Boulevard specific plan areas. Should individual buildings fail to satisfy the development standard and design requirements of the Specific Plan, they would be remanded to the Planning Commission for review. In addition to the residential component, the SP would allow for up to 200 senior continuum of care living units, which are commercial in nature. This component would allow for "aging in place," with a range of services and living accommodations ranging from assisted living to skilled nursing and memory care, similar to existing facilities found in Santa Ana such as Town & Country Manor near City Place. In the SP, the senior continuum of care living units are envisioned to form one of two high-rises in the community, with the other being the hotel. As proposed, the facility would contain 20 stories (285 feet maximum) and provide for 0.6 parking spaces per unit, a rate that takes into account reduced private vehicle ownership by residents but that also provides for enough staff and service parking.
