3. Commercial Land Uses
Commercial land uses within the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan Area are planned along Garfield Avenue within Planning Areas III and IV. The uses for these sites are expected to be those characteristic of a neighborhood commercial center, designed mainly to meet the local community shopping needs and reduce trips outside of the project area.
4. Industrial
The Industrial area, which currently is the center of oil production and oil- related services and storage uses, is intended to be developed as light industrial.The Industrial land uses within Holly-Seacliff are located at the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Goldenwest Street and Clay Avenue and Stewart Street, within Planning Areas II and IV.
5. Open Space
Open Space areas are designated within Planning Areas I and III. These areas are planned to be incorporated into the Bolsa Chica Linear Regional Park which will feature trails and passive recreation uses.
C. Circulation Plan
The Circulation Plan, Exhibit 8, depicts the general alignments and classifications of arterial highways within the Specific Plan area. The Circulation Plan is in accordance with provisions contained in the Holly- Seacliff Development Agreement 90-1. The Development Agreement provides a phasing plan for street improvements to correspond to the phased development in the Specific Plan area and to comply with and satisfy mitigation measures contained in Final Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1. Additionally, as stated in the Development Agreement, development projects within the Specific Plan area will be conditioned to participate in construction or fair-share funding associated with required infrastructure improvements needed to serve the Holly-Seacliff area.
The overall circulation concept relies on a hierarchy of circulation features ranging from major arterials to local residential streets. The system is designed to accommodate City-generated through-traffic while discouraging intrusion into individual neighborhood areas. Orange County Transit District bus stops shall be provided at locations as shown on Exhibit 12. Additional bus stops may be required at the time of development.
