Seven ,8Hfcommercial zone districts are established as
i
A. Office Professional (OP). This district permits single family residences and professional
offices. Limited retail and service commercial uses are permitted only when clearly
incidental to the permitted primary office use. Intended to preserve historic structures by
allowing their conversion to office use, in areas which are transitioning from residential
to office uses, and to accommodate professional offices along arterial streets, where more
intensive commercial uses would conflict with adja(:ent residential uses.
B. Commercial Professional (CP). This district permits lower intensity office, general
retail and service commercial businesses.
C. Limited Business (Cl). This district permits lower intensity office, general retail and
service commercial businesses.
D. Limited Business - Tustin Redevelopment Project Area (C-TR). This district applies
only to the Tustin Redevelopment Project Area and is designed to permit commercial
uses developed in a manner consistent with the goals and programs of the redevelopment
project.
E. General Business (C2). This district allows a broad range of commercial uses.
F. Commercial (C3). This district provides an area where retail sales and services along
with related assembling, processing, and manufacturing can be carried out.
G. Commercial Recreation (CR). This district is intended to provide for commercial and
office uses with a specific focus upon entertainment and recreational uses, regional and
community-serving retail and service uses, and higher intensity office
developments.This district classification was created for the Katella A venue Corridor based upon
its status as a "Smart Street" and its proximity to the regional serving stadium and arena
in the adjoining city to the
west.DIVISION I: USE
