On April 25, 1994, the Planning Commission approved the
Environmental Determination for the project (Resolution No. 3254),
approved the Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan (Resolution No.
3256), approved Variance 94-002 (Resolution No. 3257) and
recommended to the City Council approval of Zone Change 94-001
(Resolution No. 3255).
The Orange County Teachers Federal Credit Union corporate offices
are presently located in Santa Aha. Based upon their growth
projections over the next ten plus years, the Credit Union has made
the decision to establish new corporate offices to accommodate
their projected future needs. The Credit Union has selected the
Pacific Center East Specific Plan area for their relocation and
plan to purchase the existing building at 15442 Del Amo Avenue to
locate their new corporate offices. The proposed facility would
also have the ability to accommodate a full service bank branch at
some time in the future. The Credit Union will also be purchasing
the adjacent vacant property to the north and have identified that
potential development on the. vacant.~property in Planning Area 11
would include office and retail uses.
The project area for the Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan is
approximately 11 acres in size and can be described as the area on
the southeast corner of Del Amo Avenue (existing) and Valencia
Avenue. Planning Area 14 is presently developed with a 90,600
light industrial/research and development (R&D) building. Planning
Area 11 is presently vacant. Please refer to the location map
included as Attachment A.
Surrounding uses to Planning Areas 11 and 14 and the project site
include light industrial uses to the north, east and south, and
vacant property to the west across Del Amo Avenue.
A publiC hearin~ notice identifying the time, date and location of
the public hearing, on this project was published in the Tustin
News. Property owners within 300 feet of Planning Area 14 (15442
Del Amo Avenue) were notified of the hearing by mail. Notices were
posted on the site, at City hall and at the Tustin Police
Department. The applicant and property owner were informed of the
availability of the staff report on this project.

DISCUSSION
The current Land Use Designation of the PCESP for Planning Area 11
is "Regional Center" and would permit a variety of commercial,
retail and office uses. The current Land Use Designation of the
PCESP for Planning Area 14 is "Technology Center" and would permit
a variety of light industrial and R&D uses. The applicant is
proposing to change the Land Use Designation for Planning Area 14
from "Technology Center" to "Regional Center" to be consistent with
the adjacent Planning Area 11 designation and to accommodate office
and financial institutional uses within Planning Area 14. In
addition to the change to the Land Use Designation, several minor
modifications to the PCESP text would be required to accommodate
the Land Use Designation change. Ordinance No. 1125 identifies the
proposed changes to the PCESP. The portions of the PCESP proposed
to be deleted are marked with strikeouts and the portions proposed
to be added are highlighted as shaded areas.
The proposed amendments and change of Land Use Designation would be
compatible with surrounding Planning Areas, including Planning Area
11 which would be physically integrated through Coordinated parking
and site circulation with Planning Area 11. The reduction in land
use intensity in Planning Area 11 would offset the increase in land
use intensity in Planning Area 14 so that there would be no
significant increase in development intensity for Planning Areas
11/14 when considered together, or the PCESP as a whole.
In summary, Exhibit 4 of the PCESP entitled Land Use Plan would be
revised to reflect the change in Planning Area 14 from "Technology
Center" to "Regional Center". A similar change would be made to
Exhibit 17 of the PCESP entitled Land Use Plan/Planning Areas.
Please refer to Attachment B which identifies the current Land Use
Plan and Attachment C which identifies the proposed Land Use Plan.
. -
· · .
Several modifications are proposed to Table 4 of the ~PCESP entitled
Maximum Square Footage Authorized in the Specific Plan to
accommodate the proposed amendment. Please refer to Attachment D
which identifies the current Table 4 in the PCESP identifying the
maximum authorized square footages and Attachment E which
identifies the proposed Table 4 in the PCESP with the proposed
maximum authorized square footages. The office area in Planning
Area il would be reduced from 156,000 square feet to 132,000 square
feet. This decrease is intended to offset the change from R&D uses
to office and commercial uses in Planning Area 14. Planning Area
14 would be moved to the Regional Center heading. The Commercial
area in Planning Area 14 would be increased from zero square feet
to 6,000 square feet to accommodate the future financial

institution within the existing building which is considered a
commercial use by the PCESP. The office area within Planning Area
14 would be increased from zero square feet to 84,600 square feet
to accommodate office use in the remaining portion of the existing
building. The R&D/Light Industrial area in Planning Area 14 would
be eliminated as these uses would no longer be allowed within
Planning Area 14.
Other proposed text changes to the PCESP include:
.
Modification to the net acreage totals for the Regional Center
and Technology Center descriptions in Section 3.3, Land Use
Plan.
·
Adding Planning Area 14 to Section 4.3.B related to the
Regional Center location.
·
Identifying the Valencia Avenue landscape setback of 25 feet
in the Regional Center categoryby~.adding a new subsection to
Section 4.3 F.4, Landscape Setbacks. The Valencia Avenue
landscape setback was not previously identified within the
Regional Center development standards as there were no
properties with a Regional Center designation which had
frontage on Valencia Avenue.
·
Adding the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .40 for Planning
Area 14 in the Regional Center category in Section 4.3.F.5,
Maximum Floor Area Ratio. The .40 FAR for Planning Area 14
'reflects the existing building development on the subject
property and would be repositioned from the Technology Center
category to the Regional Center category. No increase in
development intensity is proposed within Planning Area 14 at
this time.
·
Eliminating Planning Area 14 from Section 4.5.B related to the
Technology Center location.
·
Eliminating Planning Area 14 from the Technology Center Land
Use Designation column in Table 6, Use Limitations.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
An Initial Study was prepared for the project, a copy of which is
attached to this report. Based upon review of Zone change 94-001,
as well as Environmental Impact Report 90-1, it has been determined
that the environmental issues relating to this project have
previously been addressed. EIR 90-1 identified a variety of trip
rates for the various land uses that could occur throughout the
Specific Plan area. A trip rate summary has been provided in
Attachment A to the Initial Study which evaluates the amount of
trips -that Planning Area 11/14 would generate as originally
approved in the PCESP and the trip rates based on square footages
and uses that are currently proposed for Planning Area 11/14.
Based upon the results of the trip rate summary, the proposed
square footages and uses for both Planning Areas results in 360
additional Average Daily Trips (ADT) than originally identified by
the PCESP Land Use Plan The increase in ADT represents a 0.7%
increase in the entire PCESP area which has been determined by the
Engineering Division to be insignificant: The Rngineering Division
has made a finding that the existingstreet system can accommodate
the additional ADT.
In addition, appropriate mitigating measures identified in EIR 90-1
are included as conditions of approval for the Planning Area 11/14
Concept Plan approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 3256.
With this information in mind, it is recommended that the City
Council make the finding that requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act have been met and that no further
environmental review is required.
CONCLUSION
Given the analysis conducted by the Community Development
Department, and in consideration of comments from other agencies
and the public, it is concluded that the proposed amendments to the
PCESP are appropriate and the proposed project meets the
requirements of the PCESP, as amended, and the California
Environmental Quality Act. It is recommended that the City Council
approve the Environmental Determination for the project and approve
Zone Change 94-001 by having first reading and introduction of
Ordinance No. 1125, as submitted or revised.

PART III - DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
INITIAL STUDY RESPONSES FOR
ZONE CHANGE 94-001, DESIGN REVIEW 94-001
AND VARI]~NCE 94-002
BACKGROUND
The proposed project includes an application by the Orange County
Teachers Federal Credit Union for the following:
le
An amendment to Pacific Center East Specific Plan (PCESP) to
change the Land Use Designation for Planning Area 14 (15442
Del Amo Avenue) from "Technology Center" to "Regional Center"
to accommodate office and financial institution uses;
·
A Concept Plan for Planning Areas 11 and 14 of the PCESP
pursuant to Section 5.3 of the PCESP; and
·
A Variance to reduce the required landscape setback for the
ultimate street improvements on the future Newport Avenue from
Valencia Avenue to a point approximately 370 feet north of
Valencia from 30 feet to approximately 15 feet.
Planning Area 11 and 14, the subject Properties and the subsequent
rehabilitation of the existing development within Planning Area 14
is governed by the regulations adopted by the PCESP. The project
area for the Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan is approximately 11.0
acres in size and can be described as the area on the southeast
corner of Del Amo (existing) and Valencia Avenues as generally
identified in Exhibit 5 of the PCESP. These properties are located
within the Planned Community (PC) Zoning District and currently
designated Regional Center (Planning Area 11) and Technology Center
(Planning Area 14) by the PCESP Land Use Plan.
This is a tiered initial study that is based on and incorporates by
reference, the environmental analysis included in Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) 90-1, which was previously certified on
December 17, 1990 for the PCESP. In conformance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the purpose of this
tiered initial study is to identify and focus the environmental
analysis for the project on significantly new environmental impacts
that were not previously considered in the Program .EIR.
EIR 90-1 identified several impact categories where a Statement of
overriding Consideration was adopted by the City for the entire
PCESP area. For the purposes of this initial study check list,
these items have been checked "Yes" and an evaluation has been made
to ensure that those impact categories previously identified have
not been intensified. Mitigation measures identified in the EIR to
minimize the impacts that would be applicable to this proj'ect have
been identified.
Section III - Environmental Evaluation
ZC 94-001, DR 94-001 and VAR 94-001
Page 2
EIR 90-1 also identified several impact categories where impa~ts
could be lessened to a level of insignificance with the imposition
of mitigation measures. For the purposes of this initial study
check' list, these items have been checked "No" and the mitigation
measures identified in the EIR that .would be applicable to this
project have been identified.
Potential impact categories in EIR 90-1 not identified to have a
potential impact have been check "No" and were reviewed to ensure
that no new impacts would be created by the project. Since no new
development is proposed at this time in conjunction with the
Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan, and only rehabilitation of an
already developed site is proposed, no new impacts which were not
addressed in the EIR have been identified.
1. EARTH
Items A thouqh G - "No": Planninq Area 11/14 is primarily
flat. Planning Area 11 is currently vacant. Planning Area 14
is currently developed with a 90,600 square foot Research &
Development (R&D) industrial building and parking facilities.
Minor site and building improvements such as sidewalks, a new
building entry treatment, interior tenant improvements and
minor landscaping will be required to accommodat~ the pr6posed
use. No new development is proposed at this time in
consideration of the Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan.
EIR 90-1 identified impacts to the entire Specific Plan area
related to the necessary grading activity that would occur in
order to accommodate the various types of development and the
resultant change to existing landform and topography of the
area. Consequently, mitigation measures were identified in
EIR 90-1 and ~are recommended for implementation that would
reduce the potential impacts to a level of insignificanCe.

A comprehensive geotechnical and soils
investigation shall be performed by any developer
on each individual building~ site to develop
preliminary soils engineering design data to be
reviewed and approved by the community Development
Department.
The Community Development Department shall review
building plans to assure that foundation depths for
one to three story structures are-24 inches below
grade due to expansive soil conditions within the
majority of the parcels. The depths of foundations
shall be commensurate on the maximum loads
generated.
The Community Development Department shall require
that all foundations include reinforcement, as
shall slabs on-grade and concrete flatwork. A
bearing value on the order of 2,000 pounds/square
foot (with increases as applicable) will be
anticipated for proportioning conventional
foundations.
The Community Development Department shall require
special consideration for high-rise structures to
assure adequate foundation design.
The Community Development Department shall review
the proposed pavement "R" values, if possible,
toward the end of grading operations when the upper
2.0 feet of the soil are identified. The reason is
due to the variety of soils encountered within the
parcels and the possibilities of soils being
blended or imported during grading operations.
Ail structures will be developed in accordance with-
the seismic design provisions of the Uniform
Building Code and reviewed by the Community
Development Department for conformity during plan
check.
Development of vacant parcels shall submit a
pesticides/toxicity report which identifies any
potential pesticide "hot spots" and recommends
procedures for necessary soil mixing or removal.

approximately 14,000 square feet of commercial space and
approximately 216,600 square feet of office space. The
rehabilitation site is presently developed with a 90,600
square foot R&D industrial building, which is a part of the
total 230,600 square feet of office and commercial space
proposed for Planning Area 11/14. No new square footage would
be added with the rehabilitation. In addition, the total
authorized square footage within Planning Area 11/14 has been
reduced from 254,800 square feet to 230,600 square feet
thereby resulting in less of a potential impact than
originally considered in EIR 90-1.
EIR 90-1 determined that regional ambient air quality
conditions, combined with regional cumulative traffic,
contributes to the exceedance of daily State and Federal
standards for several air pollutants. A Statement of
Section III - Environmental Evaluation
ZC 94-001, DR 94-001 and VAR 94-001

Overriding Considerations was adopted to address necessary
compromises for the overall benefit of the Specific Plan area
and region. Consequently, mitigation measures were identified
in EIR 90-1 to minimize these impacts and are recommended for
implementation.
Items B and C - "Nom: EIR 90-1 did not identify any potential
impacts related the creation of objectional 'odors or
alteration of air movement, moisture, temperature or climate
for the Specific Plan area. As noted in the Background
Section above, no additional impacts have been identified.

3. WATER
Items A through I - "No": The PCESP identified a Storm Drain
Concept Plan to address the drainage requirements of the
entire Specific Plan area. The proposed Planning Area 11/14
Plan is consistent with the Storm Drain Concept Plan. Since
no new development is proposed, no new drainage facilities
would be required at this time.
The existing development rehabilitation does not include any
site improvements that would modify the drainage patterns.
The existing storm drain system for the area is adequate to
accommodate the proposed improvements.
EIR 90-1 identified impacts to the entire Specific Plan area
related to water and drainage. Consequently, mitigation
measures were identified in EIR 90-1 and are recommended for
implementation that would reduce th.e potential impacts to a
level of insignificance.
EIR 90-1 did not identify any Pot.ential impacts to the change
of course or direction of water courses, water bodies,

PLANT LIFE
Items A through D - "No": The Planning Area 11/14 Concept '
Plan makes provisions for street landscaping concepts
consistent with that previously approved in the PCESP. No
landscaping would be installed as part of the Planning Area
11/14 Concept Plan. However, each development project within
the Planning Areas would be required to submit landscape and
irrigation plans to the Community Development Department and
install landscaping in accordance with the specific plan
concepts. The existing development, rehabilitation would add
a small amount of new plant material consistent with the
Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan and PCESP Landscape concept
plans. Additional landscaping would also be provided within
the interior of site consistent with the City's Landscape and
Irrigation Guidelines.
EIR 90-1 identified impacts to the entire Specific Plan area
related to.the reduction of agricultural crops. Agricultural
operations within the Specific Plan area have occurred outside
of the area covered by Planning Area 11/14. Consequently, no
mitigation measures would apply to this project. EIR 90-1
did not identify any potential impacts related to the change
of diversity of species, reduction, of the number of unique or
endangered species of plant life, or the introduction of new
plant life into the area. As noted above in the Background

LAND USE
"No": The PCESP presently identifies the Land Use Designation
for Planning Area 11 as "Regional Center" and could
accommodate a maximum of 8,000 square feet of commercial space
and 156,200 square feet of office space. The PCESP presently
identifies the Land Use Designation for Planning Area 14 as
"Technology Center"~and could accommodate a maximum of 90,600
square feet of R&D and light industrial uses. The proposed
amendment to the PCESP would change the Land Use Designation
for Planning Area 14 from "Technology Center" to "Regional
Center" to be consistent with the adjacent Planning Area 11
designation. The proposed changes within Planning Area 14
from R&D uses to office and commercial uses would be
considered an increase in the intensity of use. However, a
corresponding reduction in maximum authorized office square
footage is proposed for Planning Area 14 to offset the
ihtensification of office use in Planning Area 11. The
proposed amendments to the PCESP and the proposed Planning
Area 11/14 Concept plan would result in a reduction in the
total authorized square footage for these Planning Areas from
254,800 square feet to 230,600 square feet. The boundaries
and acreage of the Planning Areas are consistent with the
Section III - Environmental Evaluation
zc 94-001, DR 94-001 and VAR 94-001

latest alignment studies for Newport Avenue (future) and
Valencia Avenue. Provisions have been made on the Planning
Area Concept Plan and included as ,conditions of approval
related to the need to provide child care facilities pursuant
to Section 4.8.G of the PCESP. This Section would require
developments of new construction, additions, expansions or
enlargements or a combination thereof to existing buildings
which result in a net addition of 100,000 square feet or more
in gross floor area, shall be required to provide on-site or
off-site child care facilities, or pay in lieu fees to foster
the expansion of and ease access to child care facilities.
The existing development rehabilitation would include the
rehabilitation of an existing 90,600 square foot R&D
industrial building to accommodate approximately 84,600 square
feet of office space and approximately 6,000 square feet of
commercial space for a financial institution. No new square
footage is being proposed. With the change in Land Use
Designation of Planning Area 14, ~the proposed office and
financial institution uses wouldbe permitted by right within
the Regional Center Land Use Designation of the PCESP.
Related to the Planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan, a Variance is
proposed to reduce the landscape setback for the ultimate
street improvements on the future Newport Avenue from Valencia
Avenue to a point approximately 370 feet north of Valencia
Avenue from 30 feet to approximately 15 feet. Given that this
site is developed with existing parking between the building
and Del Amo Avenue, strict compliance with the required 30
foot landscape setback would eliminate all parking on the west
side of the building facing Del Amo Avenue (future Newport
Avenue) in order to accommodate adequate site parking and
circulation in consideration of the ultimate right-of-way
constraints. The variance req~lest would still provide overall
consistency with the PCESP and would result in a cohesive
development without creating additional impacts not previous
considered related to land use.
EIR 90-1 identified impacts to the entire Specific Plan area
related to land use. Consequently, mitigation measures were
identified in'EIR 90-1 and are recommended for implementation
that would reduce the potential impacts to a level of
insignificance.

Items A and C - "Yes": The planning Area 11/14 Concept Plan
reflects the latest alignment and right-of-way studies for
Newport (future) and Valencia Avenues. The capacities and
right-of-way requirements shown on the Concept Plah are
consistent with the requirements of the PCESP.
EIR 90-1 identified a variety of trip rates for the various
land uses that could occur throughout the specific plan area
which are as follows:
Land Use Type
Units ADT*
General Office TSF**
Light Industrial TSF
General Commercial TSF
Hotel rooms
R&D TSF

A-trip rate summary has been provided in Attachment A which
evaluates the amount of trips that Planning Area 11/14 would
,generate as originally approved in the PCESP and the trip
rates based on square footage and uses that are currently
proposed for Planning Area 11/14. Based upon the results of
the trip rate summary provided in Attachment A, the proposed
Section III - Environmental Evaluation
ZC 94-001, DR 94-001 and VAR 94-001
Page 19
square footages and uses for both Planning-Areas results in
360 additional ADT than originally identified by the PCESP
Land Use Plan. The increase in ADT represents a 0.7% increase
in the entire PCESP plan area which has been determined by the
Engineering Division to be insignificant. The Engineering
Division has made a finding that the existing street system
can accommodate the additional ADT.
EIR 90-1 determined that the ultimate development of the
entire Specific Plan area will generate increased traffic in
the 9i~inity. A Statement of Overriding Consideration was
adopted to address necessary compromises for the overall
benefit of the Specific Plan area and region. Consequently,
mitigation measures were identified in EIR 90-1 to minimize
these impacts and are recommended for implementation.
Items B, D, E and F - "No": The Planning Area 11/14 Concept
Plan identifies individual site access to the properties
within the Planning Areas. These access points are consistent
with the PCESP and acceptable to, the Public Works Department,
Engineering Division. The Proposed existing development
rehabilitation would utilize existing driveways on Del Amo and
Valencia Avenues untit-~such time that ultimate street
improvements are constructed in accordance with the Planning
Area 11/14 Concept Plan and PCESP. Parking facilities would
be reconstructed to comply with the required amount of parking
as established by the PCESP. The site is currently developed
with a 90,600 R&D industrial building. No new square footage
is being proposed. Therefore, the project would comply with
the phasing schedule identified in the PCESP and would not be
required to construct any ultimate street improvements at this
time. Offers of dedication and posting of bonds would be
required prior to the issuance of'any building permits for the
required right-of-way and the ultimate construction of street
improvements.
EIR 90-1 did not identify any potential impacts related to the
creation of new parking facilities, present patterns of
circulation, rail traffic, or increase in traffic hazards. As
noted in the Background Section above, no additional impacts
have been identified.

However, any future develOpment may require the need for
additional services which would be evaluated at the time of
future development proposals. The proposed concept plan is
consistent with the Land Use Plan of the PCESP, as proposed to
be amended. The existing development rehabilitation is for an
existing R&D industrial building. The proposed use is for
offices and a financial institution. EIR 90-1 did not
identify any potential impacts related to health hazards. As

establish a guide for future development proposals. The
proposed Concept Plan is consistent with the PCESP, as
proposed to be amended, and recognizes that the existing
building proposed for existing development rehabilitation
would remain to accommodate the proposed office and financial
institution uses. The existing development rehabilitation
proposes minor physical improvements to the existing building

22. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Items A, B, C and D - "No": The City Council considered the
benefits of the specific plan and balanced those benefits
against the projects unavoidable effects and chose to adopt a
statement of overriding considerations, particularly related
to air quality, noise and traffic/circulation. The Planning
Area 11/14 Concept Plan and the existing development
rehabilitation in and of itself would not cause negative
impacts to wildlife habitat nor achieve any short-term
environmental goals, nor have impacts which are potentially
individually limited but are cumulatively considerable and
could potentially have an indirect adverse impact on human
beings. EIR 90-1 addressed all of these concerns and this
project is fully within the scope of that discussion. '

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project HAS utilized all feasible
mitigation measures as identified in Final Environmental Impact
Report 90-1 certified on December 17, 1990. The program EIR 90-1
for the Pacific Center East Specific Plan is adequate to serve as
the program EIR as significant impacts were identified and
~orresponding mitigation measures were recommended to be
incorporated into the approval process for individual projects.
Therefore, no additional documentation is required.

DESIGNATION FOR PLANNING AREA14 FROM "TECHNOLOGY CENTER"
TO "REGIONAL CENTER", INCLUDING VARIOUS MAP AND TEXT
~MENDMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION CHANGE
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby ordain
as follows:
I. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A®
Be
That an application has been filed by the
Orange County Federal Teachers Credit Union,
requesting approval of Zone Change 94-001 to
amend the Pacific Center East Specific Plan to
change the Land Use Designation for Planning
Area 14 from "Technology Center" to "Regional

Ce
That an Environmental Impact Report (EIR 90-1
for the Pacific Center East Specific Plan) has
been previously certified in conformance with
the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act for the subject
project.
De
Proposed Zone Change 94-001 would provide for
a consistent Land Use Designation with
Planning Area 11 of the Pacific Center East
Specific Plan which would be physically
integrated through parking and site
circulation.
E®
The land use intensity of development within
Planning Areas 11 and 14, or the entire

Proposed Zone Change 94-001 would be
consistent with the policies of the General
Plan Land Use Element which identifies the
Pacific Center East Specific Plan area as
Planned Community Commercial/Business which
encourages mixed uses of professional office
and commercial uses.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City Council of the
City of Tustin DOES HEREBY ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Section 3.0, Project Description, Programs and
Guidelines, of the Pacific Center East Specific Plan shall be
amended as follows:
ae
Section 3.3 entitled Land Use Plan shall be modified as
follows:
"3.3 Land Use Plan
The land use plan for Pacikic Center East shown in
Exhibit 4 designates a variety of land uses linked by an
appropriate proposed circulation system. Four major land
use designations are designated within the specific plan
boundary. (A graphic display of these areas is shown on
Exhibit 5.) The approximate net average within each
center and each land use designation's purpose can be
described as follows:
Commercial Center: The commercial center designation (8.9
net acres) provides for freestanding or commercial center
uses and is well suited to the development opportunities
offered by SR-55, local streets, and nearby employment
centers. Uses permitted within the commercial center
designation include financial institutions, sporting
goods, clothing, business/office supply, and other
.destination and service uses. The commercial center will
· establish its own identity and is not exclusively reliant
on surrounding uses.
Regional Center: The regional center designation (2~.0
~i]~ net acres) is formed by the revised circulation
~s~em and provides opportunities for a mix of land uses,
including hotels, commercial and office uses. Both on
site employees and area commuters are potential users of
the center, as well as area business travelers. Four
separate planning areas in close proximity will be
identified by their architectural and landscape elements.

The focus of the regional center is commercial use, which
provides specialized services to consumers, including
specialty restaurants, lodging, commercial recreation,
daycare, and selected personal services. The specific
plan encourages a mix of commercial uses which provide
both daytime and evening activity.
Office Center: The office center designation (36.7 net
acres) provides for prgfessional and corporate office
areas within the specific plan area. Both mid-rise and
iow-rise offices are encouraged, with Planning Area 10
proposed as a corporate headquarters office complex.
Future office development would also beexpected adjacent
to the Pacific Bell facilities including professional
offices'south of Industrial Drive.
The specific plan allows a mixture of office products on
site, including corporate and general offices in small
and large facilities. The specific plan encourages the
integration of office, support commercial and selected
employee services in Planning Area 10, encouraging a
distinct identity as a major office center~
Technolog~ Center: The technology center designation
(4~3~ ~ net acres) provides for research and
develop~' uses, with supporting office and commercial
use. The designation reflects existing research and
development, light industrial and business commercial
uses east of Del Amc Avenue.
The technology designation encourages continued
development of research and development uses and
discourages intrusion of exclusive office use in these
areas."
