20 <br /> SECTION VI <br />ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY <br />BENEFITS TO THE CITY <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Related Bristol at 3600 South Bristol Street September 27, 2023 <br />Community Benefits Analysis Report <br /> <br />www.FinanceDTA.com <br />7. The green building elements within the Project are being designed to reduce energy <br />use and minimize the heat sink effects. <br />J Open Space <br />The Mixed-Use/Residential North District includes a significant open space (Bristol Central <br />Park) in the north and a pedestrian-only greenway linkage connecting the residential areas <br />to the mixed-use village core. The Bristol Central Park is tentatively programmed to include <br />pickleball, volleyball, and basketball courts, the adventure playground, a dog park, a picnic <br />area, and outdoor seating. <br />Figure 7: Bristol Plaza8 <br /> <br />Phase 1 of the Project includes The Bristol Green and The Bristol Plaza that create park-like <br />settings in the center of the development adjacent to the proposed hotel. Pedestrian <br />linkages are emphasized in the Specific Plan’s districts, with a system of local neighborhood <br />streets, commercial shared streets, and residential shared streets providing pedestrian and <br />vehicular access. <br />These linkages include the Greenlink trail, which is envisioned to potentially include an <br />Arroyo Walk through native vegetation, a garden area, and outdoor seating. The Greenlink <br />trail will have a dedicated pedestrian path and shade with flowering trees, places for sitting <br />and socializing, and walking paths to residences with adjoining front terraces and garden <br />areas. <br />The implementation of the Specific Plan will result in a significant increase in sustainability <br />through the inclusion of open space and trees within the Project site. An overall <br />drought-tolerant plant palette is anticipated to conserve water, reduce the heat sink effect, <br />use efficient irrigation, and potentially utilize biofiltration mechanisms to treat rainwater. <br />The proposed Bristol Central Park in Phase 3 includes approximately 2.5-acres of publicly <br />accessible open space and will encompass open play areas, walkways, seating, and a private <br /> <br />8 Source: Related Bristol Specific Plan. <br />Exhibit 10 <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 22 – 460 9/17/2024
