H C'IL'NDA <br />The TOD envisioned for Hacienda Business Park will be guided by a set of design <br />guidelines and development standards that will be based on the direction set in the <br />Community Character Element. Guidelines and standards for future development will be <br />designed to enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivity, provide attractive <br />public and private open spaces, enhance access to transit, and ensure that the <br />architectural style of future development is compatible with the community context. <br />Goals, Policies, and Programs <br />Specific goals, policies, and programs in the Community Character Element that will help <br />direct future development in Hacienda include the following: <br />• Policy 15: Encourage new commercial area development and redevelopment ... to <br />incorporate attractive architectural and site-design features. <br />• Policy 17: Maintain, enhance, and protect the quality, character, and distinctiveness <br />of residential neighborhoods. <br />• Program 17.2: In high-density developments, encourage design treatments that <br />enhance the attractiveness of the streetscape and other publicly accessible areas <br />through architectural detail, neighborhood and public gathering areas, gardens, and <br />public art. <br />• Policy 18: Evaluate land-use changes in the context of overall City welfare and goals, <br />as well as the desires of the surrounding neighborhoods. <br />Economic and Fiscal Element <br />The Economic and Fiscal Element's policies do not direct the physical form of new <br />development in Hacienda; however, policies relating to a strong economy are relevant to <br />the continued success of Hacienda as a vibrant regional employment center. Future <br />development in Hacienda should be balanced, ensuring for a range of residential <br />opportunities, as well as continued expansion of office and commercial uses. <br />Additional Elements <br />The Energy, Public Facilities and Community Programs, Public Safety, and <br />Conservation and Open Space Elements were all reviewed as part of this analysis. The <br />policy direction contained in these elements does not specifically relate to planning and <br />design for TOD in Hacienda. However, all future development in Hacienda Business <br />Park will be consistent with these elements, and will specifically support sustainability, <br />which is an overarching theme throughout all of the General Plan elements. <br />Hacienda Business Park General Plan Review <br />December 2007 page IO <br />
