Principle 3. Consolidate most intensive park uses next to existing and proposed compatible uses. This <br /> should minimize infrastructure costs and maximize sharing of facilities. <br /> <br />Principle 4. Arrange woods and meadows in response to topographic and watershed patterns. <br /> <br />Principle 5. Arrange streets, trails and paths in relation to creeks, woods and meadows. <br /> <br />Principle 6. <br /> <br />Provide opportunities for pedestrian links throughout the Bernal Property, including bike <br />paths, multi-use trails, transit access, jogging and hiking paths. Provide low-impact path <br />systems in most sensitive landscapes. <br /> <br />Principle 7. Dissipate traffic flows through the use of multiple points of entry, and small and dispersed <br /> parking lots. <br /> <br />Principle 8. Minimize on-street parking and maximize shared parking opportunities. <br /> <br />Principle 9. Provide deep park-like boundaries to insulate park interior areas from perimeter sound <br /> and low level view intrusion. <br /> <br />Principle 10. <br /> <br />Integrate cultivated streams and basins throughout the Bernal Property, thus giving visual <br />prominence to flowing waters. Riparian habitats that establish along these enhanced <br />streams add to the complexity and diversity of the site ecology. <br /> <br />Principle I I. Provide educational opportunities on natural, agricultural and social/cultural systems. <br /> <br />Principle 12. <br /> <br />Define each construction phase to include both short- and long-term improvements. <br />Each phase should include significant tree planting so that woodland habitats can establish <br />as quickly as possible. <br /> <br />Principle 13. Implement sustainable environmental design and management practices to create and <br /> protect natural and cultural resources. <br /> <br />Grand Park Design Strategies <br /> <br />Using the following grand park design strategies would result in a more sustainable community asset: <br /> <br />Arrange new planting according to hydrozone. Hydrozones are landscape sub-areas within <br />which plant groupings are arranged on the basis of similar water, soil, temperature and sunlight <br />needs. This strategy conserves irrigation water and life-cycle maintenance costs. Arranging plants <br />into hydrozones provides an excellent simulation of how various types of natural habitats evolve. <br /> <br />Utilize low water volume irrigation design by using bubbler and low-volume spray equipment for <br />permanent planting installations and adding drip systems to temporary irrigation hydrozones, <br />such as seasonal wetlands, to facilitate establishment. <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
