Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan March 2018 Chapter 7 Page 182 IMPLEMENTATION ELEMENT The Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan sets forth a variety of land use controls in the form of policies, objectives, development standards and regulations, and design guidelines whose function is to ensure the orderly development of the planning area. This section of the Plan describes anticipated administrative, development review, and regulatory approaches that would be followed to effectively implement this Specific Plan and identifies project capital improvements and implementation responsibilities. In addition to the Specific Plan, the planning area is also subject to regulation under the Bristol Street Corridor Redevelopment Plan (). The two plans have distinct and complementary roles in the implementation process. While the Specific Plan sets forth guidelines which regulate land use, development, and design in the planning area, the Redevelopment Plan authorizes the City to acquire right-of- way necessary to make improvements to Bristol Street, acquire and assemble land parcels for development of open space, and provide development funding to finance capital improvements. The objectives of the two plans are highly integrated. Successful implementation of the Specific Plan is therefore dependent upon close coordination with implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. 7.1 Development Review and Regulation Specific Plan Adoption Following public review and certification by the City of a Negative Declaration on the Specific Plan, and adoption of the Plan by the Planning Commission and City Council, the Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan shall be incorporated as part of the City of Santa Ana's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Policies and standards presented in the Specific Plan will take precedence over more general policies and standards applied throughout the rest of the city. In situations where policies or standards relating to a particular subject have not been provided in the Specific Plan, the existing policies and standards of the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance will continue to apply, A. Revisions to the Santa Ana General Plan The Santa Ana General Plan currently designates the planning area for a combination of Low Density Residential, General Business District, Mixed Use District, and Open Space, With approval of the Plan, the City would also adopt the Bristol Street Specific Plan as an amendment to the City of Santa Ana General Plan. The City will then revise its General Plan Land Use Map to be consistent with the distribution of land use categories presented in the Specific Plan Land Use Map (See Figure 5-1). For the most part, the same land use designations currently found in the planning area will continue to be used, although there will be a significant shift in the allocation of land area awayfrom General Business District and Low Density Residential designations to Open Space.
