Plan Description - City of Tustin

Chapter 2 • Plan Description
within the City of Irvine will be governed by the City of
Irvine's Walls & Streetscape Plan for Planning Area 38
(Westpark II). Irvine recognizes that retrofitting this
community edge may not be fully feasible due to existing
development. Figure 2-33b shows the streetscape concept for
Harvard Avenue between the Tustin/Irvine border and Edinger
Avenue. This section is within the City of Tustin and is
classified as a Primary arterial with a 100 foot right-of-way.
Figure 2-33c identifies the westerly portion of the Harvard
Avenue roadway section between Irvine Avenue and the
railroad right-of-way within the City of Tustin. Harvard
Avenue is designated as a Secondary arterial, with a 92 foot
right-of-way. The planting concept along the westerly portion
of the Harvard sections within the City of Tustin will be
compatible with, but not necessarily duplicative of the planting
scheme in the City of Irvine. Existing conditions along this
roadway within the City of Tustin will also require adjustments
in the streetscape design in certain areas. The streetscape
design will be compatible with the plant materials, plant sizes,
and planting intervals called out within Irvine's Planning 38
streetscape standards.
2.17.3 Urban Design Guidelines
A. Residential Development
1. Massing and Siting of Development
The intent of site planning is to integrate buildings and site
improvements into a unified setting with minimal impact of the
development on adjacent land uses. Site planning concentrates
on the proper placement of buildings, roads and services.
The goal of residential site planning is to create a neighborhood
fabric that offers a unique, safe and visually appealing
environment to those in and around the development. Site plan
design should respond to the following guidelines:
• Effectively accommodate the residential unit types
proposed.
• Maximize unit exposure to parks, greenbelts and other
amenities.
