Protect, restore and enhance a continuous corridor of native riparian vegetation along Planning Area waterways. (Top) Place special emphasis on the protection and enhancement of the St. Johns River Corridor by establishing extensive open space land along both sides. (Bottom) 6-8 VISALIA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Provisions for hearings and granting requests for exemptions from these public access and dedication requirements also should be included in the implementing ordinances. OSC-P-13 *In new neighborhoods that include waterways, improvement of the waterway corridor, including preservation and/or enhancement of natural features and development of a continuous waterway trail on at least one side, shall be required. Figures 6-2 and 6-3 show examples of typical future residential and neighborhood commercial development along waterways. Refined guidelines and cross-sections should ensure flexibility while achieving Plan policies. OSC-P-14 *Establish design and development standards for new development in waterway corridors to preserve and enhance irrigation capabilities, if provided, and the natural riparian environment along these corridors. In certain locations or where conditions require it, alternative designs such as terraced seating or a planted wall system may be appropriate. As part of Plan implementation, examples of waterway bank treatments should be developed to facilitate adoption of these standards. OSC-P-15 *In new neighborhoods, create public access points to waterway trails spaced apart no further than 1,200 feet, wherever feasible. OSC-P-16 *In Downtown and East Downtown, the building setback may be 15 feet from the discernible top of bank for both sides of Mill Creek if the features described by Land Use Element’s community design policies are incorporated into the development. OSC-P-17 *Require that new development along waterways maintain a visual orientation and active interface with waterways. Develop design guidelines to be used for review and approval of subdivision and development proposals to illustrate how this can be accomplished for different land uses in various geographic settings. These guidelines will show where “back on” and “side-on” development adjacent to waterways may be acceptable and where it would not. They will also enhance views and public access to planning area waterways and other significant features such as Valley Oak groves consistent with flood protection, irrigation water conveyance, habitat preservation and recreation planning policies. Additional policies are provided in the Section 6.4, Biological Resources. OSC-P-18 Establish a liability agreement between the City, Tulare Irrigation District, water conservation districts and ditch companies related to public access and trail use and riparian corridor enhancement programs.
