Public Facilities Desil!n Objective TO INTEGRATE THE DESIGN OF PUBLIC FACILITIES INTO THE GRAND PARK OPEN SPACE SETTING. Public Facilities Design Policy 1: Harmonious Site Vision. The entire Bernal Phase I and II Specific Plan areas are envisioned as a single harmonious open space/developed environment within which neighborhoods, commercial and business development, streets, public facilities and open space are to be sensitively sited and linked together. Guidelines: 1.1 Deep park-like boundaries should be provided around the Planning Area to insulate interior areas from perimeter noise and low-level view intrusion. 1.2 Public facility site plans should be conceived in terms of buildings set into meadows surrounded by woodlands. 1.3 Buildings should be located at the edges of meadows. 1.4 Parking areas should be screened from open space and other public areas. Public Facilities Design Policy 2: Pnblic Facility Gathering Places. Maximize the availability and usefulness of gathering places in public facility projects. Guidelines: 2.1 Outdoor gathering places should be located at or near the center of building clusters and at circulation nodes to encourage social mingling. 2.2 Landscape design should link together gathering places that are publicly accessible and perceived as common open space. Pnblic Facilities Design Policy 3: Irrigation. Design and maintain irrigation systems to optimize efficiency and water conservation. Guidelines: 3.1 Irrigation systems should be designed to distribute water in the least wasteful means feasible. 3.2 Monitoring devices should be used that adjust irrigation control timing according to current weather conditions and evapo-transpiration rates.
