Chapter 2 • Plan Description
2.2.2 Neighborhoods of the Plan
The Land Use Plan is a collection of neighborhoods which will have their
own characteristics and set of functions to perform within the Plan. A
neighborhood may be comprised of more than one land use designation.
The neighborhoods of the plan are intended to establish a community
structure for the Plan and provide the basis for the range of land uses,
intensity of development, urban design characteristics, and development
regulations specified in Chapter 3.
The Land Use Plan contains eight (8) neighborhoods as shown on Figure
2-2. A statistical summary of the land uses contained in each
Neighborhood is shown on Table 2-2.
A. Neighborhood A - Education Village
Neighborhood A is located along the western edge of the site,
bordered by Red Hill Avenue on the west, Armstrong Avenue on the
east, Warner Avenue on the south, and an existing business center on
the north. The Education Village will be an important anchor for the
community with a range of public-serving uses within a walkable
campus setting. By virtue of its uses and operation, the Education
Village will be linked to many other uses and activities within the
Plan area. Its primary functions are to provide education, training,
and specific social service functions identified in Section 2.3.5,
Public Benefit Conveyance Uses. Primary access to Neighborhood A
will be from a proposed North Loop Road (extension of Valencia
Avenue eastward) and Armstrong Avenue. Secondary access will be
provided by Warner Avenue.
B. Neighborhood B - Village Housing
Neighborhood B is located in the northwestern quadrant of the site,
bordered by Edinger Avenue on the north, Tustin Ranch Road on the
east, the proposed North Loop Road on the south (extension of
Valencia Avenue), and Armstrong Avenue on the west. Through reuse
or new development of a range of housing types, Neighborhood B is
expected to offer basic, affordable housing within the Plan area. The
housing will be complemented by commercial village services that
will meet the daily shopping needs of residents, employees and
visitors to the site. The neighborhood will also have a supporting
function as a transition or buffer area between existing residential
neighborhoods north of Edinger Avenue and the Education Village
and Community Core uses. Primary access to Neighborhood B will
be from North Loop Road. Secondary access will be provided by
Armstrong Avenue and the West Connector Road. The Neighborhood
map (Figure 2-2), also identifies a shaded area within Neighborhood
B that represents a conceptual design area for the future Tustin Ranch
Road interchange.
