Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan <br />March 2018 <br /> <br />Page | 38 <br />5.2 Urban Design Concept <br />Overall Concept <br />The widened Bristol Street consists of commercial nodes at <br />major intersections linked by tree-lined, landscaped areas <br />serving as a buffer to the adjacent residential neighborhoods <br />(Figure 5-2). While small office and commercial development <br />may occasionally interrupt the open space buffer, the <br />continuity of the landscape at the street edge will not be <br />broken, giving the street the appearance of a continuous linear <br />parkway. Bristol Street will thus function as a limited access <br />commercial parkway. <br />This concept allows several benefits: it serves to enhance the <br />appearance of the Corridor as a major commercial spine <br />connecting the Santa Ana and San Diego freeways; it adds <br />value to the surrounding neighborhoods by creating a park- <br />like buffer; and it mitigates, through an urban reforestation <br />program, adverse visual and environmental impacts stemming <br />from the street widening. <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 17 – 52 3/4/2025
