3. Objective LU 4.2 - Promote job creation, focusing on employment generators in
the technical and professional sectors:
The proposed JCOZ would attract high-quality employment within the City’s key
sectors for business attraction, including the film and television, biomedical,
aerospace, and technology industries. Projects contemplated by the JCOZ are
consistent with the scale and footprint of corporate headquarter buildings and would
meet the facilities’ needs of an evolving office and industrial market.

4. Policy LU 4.2.2 - Achieve a balanced ratio of jobs to housing with a goal of at
least 1.5 jobs per household:
The JCOZ would enhance high-quality employment opportunities throughout the City
by attracting companies within the City’s key sectors for business attraction. Because
the JCOZ does not provide incentives for residential projects or commercial land use
that generate employment less intensively, the JCOZ would maximize the City’s
ability to improve its ratio of jobs to housing. However, all future qualifying projects
would comply with density requirements of the underlying zone.

5. Objective LU 4.3 - Enhance older commercial and industrial areas:
The proposed JCOZ provides incentives to develop commercial properties to their
highest and best use. Several of the areas within the proposed JCOZ include
commercial development that has been in existence for decades. The incentives
provided would apply to construction and redevelopment of qualified projects on
existing improved properties within urbanized areas.

B. The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with Attachment: Ordinance [Revision 2] (JCOZ)
all other applicable provisions of the UDC;

The JCOZ would create incentives to enhance high-quality employment opportunities
throughout the City. The JCOZ would be located in the City’s most intensive commercial
zone, including Regional Commercial (CR), Business Park (BP), Community
Commercial (CC), Mixed-Use Corridor (MX-C), and the Creative District (CD) within
the Specific Plan zone (SP) of the ONSP. Future qualifying projects within the JCOZ
would be subject to the requirements of the JCOZ and underlying zone, including
requirements for maximum floor area ratio (FAR).

C. The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to
the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially
detrimental or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity
and zone in which the property is located; and

The creation of the JCOZ includes no new development. As a result, it will not endanger,
jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest,
safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or injurious to the improvements,
persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located. Future
qualifying projects within the JCOZ would be subject to the requirements of the JCOZ
and underlying zone in which they are located, and be subject to CEQA on a project-by-
project basis.
