Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan March 2018 Chapter 6 Page 162 Design Guidelines This section of the Specific Plan outlines specific design controls governing the implementation of the private improvements in the Bristol Street Corridor. The controls represent minimum design criteria designed to guide development towards the goals and objectives of the Specific Plan. Guidelines or standards not specifically addressed in this section indicate concurrence with the city of Santa Ana Zoning Code and Design Development Standards, to which all development in the Corridor should adhere. 6.1 Site Development Objective: The sitting of new buildings and parking as shown on the Development Plan (Chapter 5) should provide optimum continuity of the parkway landscape through private development parcels. Table 6-1 in conjunction with the attached parcel standards summarizes the site development guidelines applicable to each commercial parcel. 6.1.1 Parking Frontages The site layout and design of new developments shall emphasize placement of parking towards the rear of the site behind the building and siting the building closer to Bristol Street. Where parking is provided along the Bristol Street frontage, a continuous strip of parking stalls shall be provided abutting the public sidewalk and perpendicular to it (Figure 6-1). The public sidewalk shall be continuous at driveway ramp locations and shall have special paving at parking entrances along Bristol Street (Figure 6-2). When the building is situated closer to Bristol Street the commercial landscape standards shall apply. A 5-foot (for Bristol Street from Saint Andrew Place to Civic Center Drive) or 15-foot (for Bristol Street from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place and Civic Center Drive to Santiago Creek) continuous and curbed planting strip shall separate the parking from the sidewalk. The planter curb may be used as a wheel stop, with two -feet of the planter area counted as part of the parking stall dimension. The planting strip shall be planted with shrub material suitable to provide a 30-inch high continuous hedge. A planting island shall be provided after every three stalls along the strip. The dimension of the planting islands shall be equal to the minimum dimension of a parking stall as dictated by the City's Parking Ordinance. Each planting island shall receive a street tree of the specie recommended in the plant list. Trees shall be planted to form a line along the parking frontage.
