Development in this area has been confined primarily to the residentially zoned lots, with much of the ocean-facing highway frontage remaining vacant. As a means of discouraging undesirable strip commercial development along Pacific Coast Highway, the coastal land use plan designates the majority of the area as residential with three nodes for visitor-serving commercial development --two half blocks between Goldenwest and Twenty-first Streets, two half blocks between Eighteenth and Sixteenth Streets, and three half blocks between Ninth Street and Sixth Street. The remaining area along Pacific Coast Highway has been designated high density residential with height limit of three stories. Within this area, a base density of 15 units per acre is assumed, with increases up to a maximum of 30 units per acre on a fully consolidated block. Development of the residential blocks is intended to be regulated by a specific plan, which will specify parking, open space, and setback requirements and variable lot area ratios to encourage property consolidation.

This District is intended to provide for commercial uses on and alongside the pier which will enhance and expand the public's use and enjoyment of this area. Uses are encouraged which capitalize on the views available from the pier and the unique recreational or educational opportunities it affords.
