<br />practices. Additionally, hydrology studies and would be required for individual
<br />development projects at the time development plans are submitted to the City for review

<br />Consistent: As noted above, hydrology studies would be required for individual
<br />development projects at the time development plans are submitted to the City for review
<br />and approval. The studies would be required to demonstrate that post -development
<br />runoff rates and velocities from development sites would not have a significant adverse
<br />impact on downstream erosion and stream habitat.
<br />Refer to Section 5.7, Hydrology and Water Quality, for a detailed analysis of the
<br />proposed projects potential impacts related to increased site runoff.
<br />Provide energy efficient modes of transportation Consistent: The project area is served by OCTA's Bravo! Route 543 and other local
<br />and fixed facilities to encourage transit, bicycle and bus lines, which would be readily available and accessible to future residents and
<br />walking as regularly used modes of travel. workers that would be generated by the proposed project. Project implementation would
<br />also lead to the development of an improved bicycle and pedestrian circulation system
<br />along Harbor Boulevard and its cross - streets: 5th Street, 1st Street, McFadden Avenue,
<br />and Westminster Boulevard. Proposed improvements include the enlargement of
<br />sidewalk and parkway areas to facilitate safe bicycle and pedestrian travel along Harbor
<br />Boulevard and efficient connections to the local and regional bicycle network.
<br />Encourage higher densities of housing and office Consistent: Project implementation would permit the development of a mix of rental
<br />(mixed use) development to relate to areas of and for sale higher -density housing and mixed -use development opportunities along the
<br />higher transportation access and capacity. corridor. For example, the proposed Transit Node zone is characterized by a wide
<br />range of building intensity, including mixed -use flex blocks, liners, stacked flats,
<br />courtyard housing, and live -work units. The zone accommodates retail, restaurant,
<br />entertainment, and other pedestrian -oriented uses at street level, with offices and flats
<br />above in the mixed -use building types, at high intensities and densities. Additionally, the
<br />proposed Corridor zone is applied to properties along Harbor Boulevard between bus
<br />rapid transit stations and is intended to provide housing options and neighborhood
<br />serving uses within walking distance of a transit node. The zone also identifies areas
<br />set aside exclusively for moderate- and high -density residential projects.
