Pacific Shores

Pacific Shores covers 23.8 acres measured against the city's published boundary and holds 201 residential addresses among the 286 the address layer records inside the line. The assessor classes all 201 as condominium units, and the layer still types 81 addresses as residential vacant land, which is the record of a community finished later than its map. Twelve named streets serve the homes across 1.41 miles, most of them given first names: Noelle, Abigail, Hayley, Rebecca, Avery, Kate and Eleanor among them.

Bauer Park, 2.04 acres on the city park layer, sits inside the boundary, and Edison Park lies within 250 meters. City zoning reads 84.6 percent residential medium density with 8.6 percent open space, 5.1 percent industrial limited and 1.6 percent storm channel, which is a more mixed frame than most communities here carry. The assessor's median building is 2,584 square feet, with the tenth to ninetieth percentile band running wide from 1,472 to 4,200, so the plans vary more here than in most of the register. A narrow 2.6 percent of the boundary falls inside the Coastal Zone appeal jurisdiction, in appeal zone 5.

Pacific Shores is 201 homes on about 24 acres, all of them finished between 2010 and 2014. The street names, Noelle, Kendall, Abigail, Hayley, Hibiscus and Sage, are the gentle first name naming that builders had settled on by then, and they carry no information about the place at all.

The place is worth knowing about anyway. This is the south end of the city, near the mouth of the Santa Ana River, on the same coastal plain that produced lima beans, asparagus, peppers, celery and sugar beets before the derricks arrived. The Huntington A-1 well began producing on 24 May 1920, by October 1921 the field held 59 wells making roughly 16,500 barrels a day, and by 2000 it had given up more than a billion barrels. California Resources Corporation still operates it.
