West Village
District Overview The West Village is comprised of residential neighborhoods with several different open space focuses: Paradise Cut, Central Lake, Canal Street, or the system of small neighbor- hood parks. The focus of the neighborhood will establish the arrangement of streets and the relationship to the neighborhood’s open space.
Although the predominant residential use will be single family dwellings in lot sizes rang- ing from 2400 sf to 8000sf or more, attached dwellings and multiple family dwellings will also be permitted. In order to enhance the residential character of this district, walls will be limited to arterial roads, and the presence of rear yards adjacent to collector roads limited.
The major external influence on the design of this district is Paradise Cut, which provides an important open space for the district on its southern edge. In addition, the presence of the Paradise Cut school will influence surrounding neighborhoods, as it will be important to accommodate traffic, while encouraging convenient pedestrian access.

The L, M & H designation in the residential areas refer to the residential low-, medium-, high-density designa- tions of the Specific Plan, which describe permitted and conditional uses well as permitted development intensity and density.
In addition to residential neighborhoods, West Village will have a neighborhood retail center located at the west edge of the district at the corner of Paradise Road and South River Islands Parkway.

Open Space The open space plan illustrates the structure of open space within the West Village.
Paradise Cut Neighborhoods The Paradise Cut Linear Park at the end of Canal Street forms the southern edge of the district and provides an important connection to the natural beauty of the Paradise Cut. Paradise Cut Crescent, at the western terminus of Ca- nal Street is the activity center of the linear park, though the focus will be on passive, rather than active uses which might disturb the tranquility of the district.
Canal Street and Adjacent Neighborhoods Canal Street is the central focus of these neighborhoods, but a system of paseos and small parks north and south of Canal Street are also components of the open space network. The small parks, in addition to providing for passive uses such as picnics, may also have a backstop for a pickup game of baseball, or a private recreation element, such as a pool, that is intended solely for the use of River Islands residents. Intense active recreation for organized team sports will not occur in these parks.
West Lake Neighborhoods The several neighborhoods adjacent to the lake will feature private yards and boat docks directly adjacent to the lake. Small neighborhood parks on the lake edge will provide access to the lake for River Islands residents. In addition, several lake wetland areas will be located on the edge and will provide for passive viewing, as well as a means to pol- ish storm water in the winter and help purify lake water in the summer.

Landscape The diagram illustrate the landscape design of the West Village District. Areas adjacent to the Paradise Cut will feature landscapes derived from the River Delta landscape vocabulary (River Edge, River Terrace, Back Bay Edge, Levee Remnant), while the lake adjacent areas will be influenced by the Central Lake landscape (Private Lake Edge, Wetland Edge). The remainder of the district will be Agricultural Landscape tradition and will feature regularly spaced rows of trees.

Lake Harbor
District Overview Lake Harbor is a group of small islands located within the Central Lake. Four of the islands consist of two pairs of islands located north and south of South River Islands Park- way. The islands are somewhat symmetrical with one another in each direction. The fifth island, Oxbow Island, has the shape of an oxbow lake and is an exclusive enclave.

Land Use & Neighborhoods The Lake Harbor neighborhoods feature two distinct living environments: on the exterior edges adjacent to the main body of the lake, the character is natural and informal, while the internal edges face a small, regularly ordered, rectilinear harbor. Both single family detached and at- tached dwellings will be permitted on these islands. The fifth island, Oxbow Island, is reached by a small causeway and will be a small, exclusive enclave of single family residential dwellings.
All of Lake Harbor is in the Residential-low designation as described in the WLSP, which also describes permitted and conditional uses, as well as permitted development intensity and density.

Old River Road
District Overview Old River Road is a district that stretches several miles along the edge of the Old River channel of the San Joaquin River. The central feature of the district is a parkway-like road that provides access to most of the homes in the district. The road right-of-way widens and narrows as it curves though the neighborhoods, providing glimpses into the river channel, alternating with landscaped medians. Old River Road District is located almost entirely on high ground.

Open Space Most of the residences in the Old River Road District are just a few steps from the river, and provision of regular vi- sual and physical connections to the river is an important land use feature of the district. Two small neighborhood parks are located at the end of the two Back Bays, and are intended primarily for passive uses. A boat launch facility large enough to accommodate boats up to 20 feet long may be located at the larger of the two parks.

Landscape The landscape of the Old River Road District will be most influenced by the River Edge and River Terrace landscapes that feature masses of large riparian trees such as Poplars, t and Sycamores. Where Old River Road itself is adjacent to the river edge or Back Bay, the landscape will replace the regularly spaced trees otherwise typical of this street. The intent is to create the impression that Old River Road crosses an existing landscape.

District Overview Lakeside is a golf-oriented district in River Islands at Lathrop. Located between the Old River Road neighborhood and the Central Lake, it is bordered on the southern edge by River Islands Parkway, which provides access to the Lakeside Linear Park. It has only two entrances, making it secure enough to be a gated community; it is also suitable for use as an age-restricted community.

Open Space The primary open space in Lakeside is the golf course, which will be a championship-quality course with driving range, putting green and pro shop. To better create a visual link between the district, the Central Lake and Lakeside Linear Park, a minimum of 25% of the frontage of the portion of the Lakeside District that is adjacent to River Islands Parkway must be open to views from River Islands Parkway. Fences along the edge must be open and shrubs and trees placed to allow long views into the course.

Woodlands
District Overview Woodlands is both golf- and river-oriented. Located on the west end of River Islands, it is bordered on the north and west by the Old River channel of the San Joaquin River, and on the south by Paradise Cut. With more river frontage than any district in River Islands, Woodlands will have numerous riverfront lots with docks for residents’ boats. The cham- pionship golf course provides another focus for the district, as does the Olympic School on its eastern edge.

Open Space & Recreation The primary open spaces in Woodlands are the golf course, river edges, and Back Bays. Woodlands Drive, which will have the character of a road in a park, will also contribute to the district’s open space system. Neighbor- hood Parks and Paseos will connect from the interior parts of the district to the water’s edge, where views of the river will be the main attraction. A district gathering place located on the Back Bay Reserve at the western edge of the district may feature a yacht club or other private facility to serve district residents.

Landscape Woodlands is a district that is almost entirely within the Delta Landscape areas. As such, the dominant land- scape character should be natural in appearance, and the dominant plant materials along Woodlands Drive and on the river edges should be typical riparian trees such as Valley Oaks (Quercus lobata), Poplars (Populus fremontii), and California Sycamores (Platanus californica). Ground plane plantings should primarily be grasses with a natural habit, rather than mowed turf, which should be restricted to limited areas where it is needed for recreation or other similar purposes.
For detailed information regarding the landscape treat- ment of each of the trees, including cross sections, please refer to the Landscape Master Plan in Part I.
