Figure LU-20 Land Use Map & Table LU-8 Land Use Map and Designations South Bristol Street
The form and intensity of development south of MacArthur Boulevard are intended to be dynamic and substantial, drawing inspiration from and even eclipsing the current South Coast Plaza Town Center area south of Sunflower Avenue. Between MacArthur Boulevard and Alton Avenue, the form and intensity will scale down but remain distinctly urban. The redevelopment of the auto-oriented commercial plazas will result in the construction of landmark buildings and structures set in and around vibrant spaces accessible to future occupants and the general public.
The majority of the corridor north of MacArthur Boulevard is planned with the Urban Neighborhood land use designation, allowing for commercial and residential projects, frequently in a mixed-use format, to develop in accordance with market fluctuations. The buildings and spaces in this part of the focus area must be sensitive to the surrounding low density neighborhoods while still emphasizing the creation of active and attractive urban spaces.
