Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan <br />March 2018 <br /> <br />Page | 16 <br />Rationale: <br />High traffic volumes on Bristol Street and the related noise and <br />air quality conditions have already negatively impacted some <br />residential neighborhoods adjacent to the corridor. In <br />addition, the haphazard mix of uses and the absence of <br />consistent development standards in existing development <br />detracts from the overall character of the local community. <br />New development and use of the frontage parcels on Bristol <br />Street will reduce existing adverse conditions without <br />imposing additional impacts on adjacent areas that would <br />further erode the building fabric and quality of street life for <br />the neighborhoods. <br />Objectives: <br /> Convert shallow frontage parcels adjacent to residential <br />areas, schools, or churches into landscape buffer areas. <br /> Require visual screening and noise buffers between the <br />Bristol Street Corridor and adjacent residential and <br />community facility uses. <br /> Establish standards for the type and placement of lighting <br />within the corridor that will minimize light and glare <br />nuisances in adjacent residential uses. <br /> Establish land-uses and development standards and <br />guidelines that will consider security and privacy concerns <br />of uses adjacent to the corridor. <br /> Develop guidelines for processing and approving new uses <br />in the planning area in the transition period between <br />adoption of the Specific Plan and its implementation. <br /> Adjacent to residential areas, land uses should be <br />restricted to community facilities, neighborhood-serving <br />commercial and professional office uses; general retail <br />and other traffic-generating uses should be restricted to <br />frontage parcels and/or to corners on major cross streets. <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 17 – 30 3/4/2025
