regulations, the proposed Project would not result in significant environmental impacts such as light, noise, or air quality to the adjacent existing and planned land uses. Therefore, impacts related to land use inconsistency would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.8-26 through 5.8-27). General Plan Goals. Policies. and Objectives A detailed analysis of the proposed Project's consistency with the applicable goals, policies, and objectives of the City's GPU that serve to avoid or mitigate environmental impacts is provided in Table 5.8-3 of the Draft Supplemental EIR. As described, the proposed Project would be consistent with the relevant goals, policies, and objectives of the City's GPU that avoid or mitigate environmental impacts, and impacts related to conflict with a GPU policy related to an environmental effect would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.8-27 through 5.8-A3). ZoningDesignation The existing zoning of the Project site is General Commercial (C-2) north of Callen's Common, and Commercial Residential (CR) and General Commercial (C-2) south of Callen's Common, as shown on Figure 3-5, Existing Zoning, in Chapter 3.0, Project Description of the Draft Supplemental EIR. As listed previously, the C-2 zone is designated for general commercial uses that include: wholesale, automotive garages, retail, etc. Structures in the C-2 zone are limited to 35 feet in height, and 15- foot-wide yards are required adjacent to arterial streets, such as Sunflower Avenue and Bristol Street. The C-R zone is designated to integrate commercial and residential land uses that include retail and services, professional offices, one -family and multi -family dwellings, etc. with landscaped setbacks. The proposed SP zoning of the site would implement the GPU objectives for the South Bristol Street Focus Area, pursuant to the DC-5 General Plan land use designation. The proposed Specific Plan includes design guidelines for the non -auto oriented urban scale development that address site layout, building scaling and massing, building entry design, vehicle and pedestrian circulation, parking and loading area requirements, landscaping design requirements, and more. Because the proposed SP zoning would implement the existing land use designation and GPU vision for the South Bristol Street Focus Area, impacts related to conflict with a land use plan, policy, or program would not occur from implementation of the proposed Project (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.8- 43). Regulations Governing Scenic Quality The proposed Specific Plan includes design guidelines that would govern scenic quality on the Project site pursuant to the DC-5 land use designation and objectives for the South Bristol Street Focus Area. Visual corridors would be protected through compliance with the proposed Specific Plan guidelines which require building setbacks from public view corridors, including a 20-foot average setback from South Bristol Street; a 15-foot average setback from MacArthur Boulevard, Sunflower Avenue, and South Plaza Drive; and a 12-foot average setback from Callen's Common, which are measured from the front of curb. Setbacks would be landscaped. Varying building setbacks and materials, along with landscaping as required by the Specific Plan design guidelines,
