Enactment Number: 13961
A Streetscape Master Plan is set of guidelines and standards for
enhancements to roadway conditions specific to a neighborhood's
characteristic and identity.
b. Purposes
The purpose of creating a Streetscape Master Plan, singularly or in
combination, is to:
1. Strengthen a sense of place, neighborhood identity, and aesthetics through
the identification of strategic tree species and planting locations at
gateways and along thoroughfares;
2. Enhance the identity of the Neighborhood along major corridors;
3. Develop guidelines and standards for public landscaping experiences in the
right-of-way which interact with the surrounding art or architectural
elements on private property without conflicting or obstructing visibility of
fagade treatments applied to building exteriors;
4. Build the community's resilience to the impacts of climate change through
tree canopies to reduce the heat island effect and reintroduce native plant
species;
5. Maintain and enhance the quality of the air, water, and land through a
mature tree canopy's ability to sequester carbon and release oxygen;
6. Promote Green Infrastructure opportunities to mitigate urban stormwater
runoff throughout the Neighborhood;
7. Promote and encourage actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
through the creation of attractive and comfortable pedestrian and cycling
routes to encourage the use of alternate modes of transportation;
8. Improve the pedestrian experience with appropriate street furniture, trash
receptacles, street lighting, and other streetscape features;
9. Use the adopted NRDs or NCDs as a guiding document for Right -Of -Way
standards for existing conditions;
10. Coordinate streetscape improvements with surrounding Special Area
Plan (SAP) proposals;
11. Develop minimum planting standards above and beyond those in the Code
and industry best practices for planting treatments, irrigation, suspended
Pavement systems, etc;
12. Develop specific standards for enhancement of transit stops and transit
enhancements;
13. Encourage integration of surrounding neighborhoods with specific design
interventions;
