Commercial <br />The Land Use Flan identifies three land use designations that encourage a variety <br />of office, retail and commercial enterprises to serve the commuaigy <br />■ The Professiornal/Aclnninistrative Office (PACE) designation applies to those <br />areas where professional and/or administrative offices are predominant; or <br />where such development is being encouraged. Land included in this <br />designation is found primarily near the Civic Center, and along the First <br />Street and TnestianAvenue Corridors in close proximity to freeways. There are <br />other smaller PAQ areas in the City such as along North Broad'a-ay and along <br />portions of east and west Seventeenth Street. A total of 644-4-004.6 acres is <br />included in this land use designation. The floor area ratio intensity standard <br />applicable to this land use designation ranges from 0.5 to 1.0. <br />The Professional and Administrative Office areas are intended to provide a <br />unique environment for office development in those areas of the City where <br />office uses are the predominant land use. The purpose for maintaining and <br />supporting these areas exclusively for office and office -related uses is to <br />encourage major employment centers at locations which significantly lessen <br />the impact to the City's local street system. The First Street/Tustin Avenue <br />office corridor between the Santa Ana (I-5) and Costa Mesa (SR -55) Freeways <br />serves this purpose. In addition, the orderly, well-maintained quality of <br />existing development supports a continuation of these areas as functional <br />officefermployment centers. <br />The Professional and Administrative Office designation includes a range of <br />floor area r:atias to differentiate development intensity and character in <br />relation to adjacent land uses. The areas with a FAR of 0.5 are not major <br />office centers, but rather have an established character of lower intensity <br />garden office and professional service uses. These areas are typically adjacent <br />to loco density residential neighborhoods, or are converted residential office <br />uses. Office development along East Fourth Street, between Grand Avenue <br />and the Santa Ana Freeway, is typical of this low-rise office character. The <br />PAG area located adjacent to the Civic Center contains a range of office <br />development intensity, which supports the City's functional role as the <br />government center of the County. <br />The types of uses typically located in the PACT district include the following: <br />Professional and administrative offices/office parks; <br />Service activities such as copy centers, courier services, travel agencies, <br />and restaurants when such uses are an integral component of planned <br />office development; and <br />Professional uses such as accountants, attorneys, doctors, engineers, and <br />insurance brokers. <br />Resolution No. 2018-082 <br />Page 10 of 12 <br />
