AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 2, 2008
TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF A PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO AMEND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 01-031 TO ALLOW MEDICAL/DENTAL CLINIC
USE
SUMMARY
On November 20, 2007, the City Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision
to approve Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 01-031 to allow amedical/dental
clinic use at 1 Hope Drive. The project is proposed at the Village of Hope by the
Orange County Rescue Mission (Applicant) and was approved by the Planning
Commission on November 13, 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council may take the following actions:
• Take no action; thereby, leaving the Planning Commission decision to stand;
• Deny the use of medical/dental clinic use and request that staff return with a City
Council resolution reversing the Planning Commission's decision; or,
• Remand the matter back to the Planning Commission for further discussion and
investigation of alternatives.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impacts are anticipated for any action the City Council wishes to take.
BACKGROUND:
The Village of Hope property is located at the northwest corner of Lansdowne Road and
Hope Drive within the Tustin Legacy project site (Attachment A -Location Map). The
property is bounded by vacant land owned by the South Orange County Community
College District and Valencia Avenue to the north, Lansdowne Road to the east, Hope
Drive to the south, and Red Hill Avenue to the west.

Appeal of Planning Commission Decision
January 2, 2008
The project site consists of two dormitory buildings, originally constructed as barracks
for the Marine Corp Air Station (MCAS) Tustin by the U.S. Navy, and two new buildings
that provide for Village of Hope administration, cafeteria, warehouse, and auditorium
uses (Attachment B -Site Plan).
On December 10, 2001, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3817
approving Conditional Use Permit 01-031 fora 192-bed transitional housing facility at the
subject property and accessory uses such as administration offices, warehousing, and an
auditorium intended to support residents of the Village of Hope.
In July 2007, the Applicant indicated that they intended to transfer their current health clinic
license from a location in the city of Santa Ana to the Village of Hope campus. The
original approval documents did not include a medical and dental clinic use serving
persons not residing at the Village of Hope. As an example, the original application and
approval only described the accessory uses would serve the residents of the facility and
the required parking was based on the number of beds proposed for the transitional
housing use. Condition 3.1 of Resolution No. 3817 could allow on-site ancillary uses
consistent with the mission of the provision of transitional housing if authorized by the City
Manager. However, it was determined that this condition was not applicable because the
intent of the clinic is to provide service to the general public and not exclusively to the
transitional housing residents on-site.
According to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, a medical and dental clinic is listed as a
conditionally permitted use in the Transitional/Emergency Housing land use area of the
Village of Hope site. The Applicant submitted a request to amend the original Conditional
Use Permit 01-031 to include a medical and dental clinic use at the transitional housing
facility. On November 13, 2007, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4075
approving Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 01-031.
DISCUSSION:
Project Description and Associated Issues
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit Proposal
The applicant proposes to operate a medical and dental clinic at the project site and would
serve persons not residing in the Village of Hope. The clinic would be located on the first
floor of Building B (Men's Dormitory) and occupy approximately 4,000 square feet. The
proposed clinic would consist of four (4) exam rooms, one (1) procedure room, two (2)
dental rooms, doctor's office, and a pharmacy (Attachment C -Floor Plan). The clinic
would provide services to at least fifty (50) patients per day by appointment only. No walk-
ins would be allowed. The proposed clinic business hours are from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM,
Monday through Saturday, and closed on Sunday.
1 Hope Drive
Appeal of Planning Commission Decision
January 2, 2008
Parking
The 192-bed transitional housing use requires forty-eight (48) parking spaces per the
parking ratio of 1 space/4beds. The project site provides sixty-four (64) parking spaces in
the parking lot; therefore, there are sixteen (16) surplus parking spaces. In addition to the
spaces provided in the parking lot, the basketball court area along the northeast property
line has been designated for overflow parking. Pursuant to Table 3-6 of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, the proposed 4,000 square foot medical and dental clinic would require an
additional twenty-four (24) parking spaces per the parking ratio of 6 spaces/1000 square
feet of gross floor area.
To address the additional parking requirement, the applicant submitted a parking survey
report conducted by LSA Associates, Inc. at the existing clinic location in Santa Ana
(Attachment D). The report states that the peak parking demand observed was eleven
(11) parking spaces; eight (8) parking spaces would be adequate for most of the business
day. Although the site's surplus parking is deficient eight (8) parking spaces to meet the
required twenty-four (24) parking spaces, the maximum parking space demand is eleven
(11) spaces based on the parking survey report prepared by LSA Associates, Inc., and the
existing sixteen (16) surplus parking spaces would be sufficient for the proposed clinic.
Condition 2.4 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 4075 allows the City to monitor the
parking and traffic conditions and require any necessary mitigation if a parking or traffic
problem occurs in the future.
Access to Facility
The Village of Hope project site is a secure facility in which access to the facility is
controlled by the Orange County Rescue Mission. Access to the medical and dental clinic
would be through a security gate at the main entrance and through a courtyard across the
building complex. To ensure safety of the clinic's clients and transitional home residents,
security personnel will be provided with a daily list of patients with clinic appointments and
those patients will be issued a visitor badge that only allows them access to the clinic.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 Class 1 of Conditional
Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act).

Subject: Orange County Rescue Mission (OCRM) Health Clinic Parking Survey
Dear Mr. Luker:
This letter presents the results of a parking survey conducted over six business days, Wednesday
October 3, 204?, through Wednesday October 10, 2007, to verify the arrival mode of transportation for
clients of the clinic. The survey documentation is attached to this letter.
The results of the survey are summarized in the following table;
Arrival Mode
Date Walk Bus Drive
10/3 13 3 16
10/4 5 S 15
10/S 9 11 27
10/8 2 10 13
10/9 3 9 20
10/10 5 0 19
Total 37 38 110
The results of the survey indicate that on average 20 percent of the clients walk, 21 percent arrive via
bus, and 59 percent drive. It can also be concluded that the peak parking demand by clients was
approximately 11 spaces and 8 spaces being adequate in all time periods except one.
Sincerely,
LSA ASSOCIATES, INC.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4068
recommending that the City Council approve Tentative Tract
Map 17144 to subdivide a 131-acre site into 12 numbered
lots and 28 lettered lots for the purpose of development of
commercial business, open space, public streets, and flood
control facilities.
7:02 p.m. The Public Hearing opened.
Willkom Presented the staff report, pointing out the suggested modifications
that were provided at the dais.
Thompson Asked staff to explain the detention basin area that appears to
overlay the park and whether or not this would be a combined use
with the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) or a part of
the City facilities for storm drain purposes.
Willkom Suggested that Doug Anderson, Transportation and Development
Services Manager, should answer that question.
Anderson Stated that the basin is a requirement of the OCFCD for
improvements to the Barranca Channel which is currently an
impaired water body and is deficient; one of the requirements was
to retain some of the flow on-site; the basin will function as a joint-
use facility; in the off season, when there is no flow, it will be
maintained as a passive open space and may be used for
recreational purposes; there is also a 24-inch low-flow pipe that will
be installed adjacent to the current channel which would catch the
nuisance flow from Red Hill and the site and transfer those through
the property; the only time water is expected to be retained is after
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 2
a large, intense rainfall; there are inlet and outlet structures,
everything that would be in a normal basin, will be included.
Thompson Asked if that becomes a facility that the County operates as a flood
control device.
Anderson Indicated that it is a County requirement that the master developer
through the association will provide the landscaping; the various
inlet/outlet structures will be maintained.
Nielsen Suggested that this area will be used as a Linear Park unless a
significant rainfall would require it as a retention basis.
Kozak Asked if there will be any improvements to the Barranca Channel.
Anderson Answered in the affirmative, probably from Aston easterly to link up
with the covering of Barranca Channel just west of Tustin Ranch
Road that the District development is improving; it will all be a
covered channel
Thompson Referred to the reference on page 3 is to open space as a flex use;
and, asked if this would be private or public acreage.
Willkom Responded that the open spaces are private areas with the
exception of the sports field planned for Lot 9 which will be public.
Nielsen Questioned whether the park facilities with open space with a
perpetual public easement would be maintained by the
homeowners association.
Willkom Answered in the affirmative.
Nielsen Asked for clarification regarding a possible gymnasium or other
private park areas that the public would not be able to access in the
Linear Park area.
Willkom Replied that all the Linear Park area will be open to the public.
Nielsen Stated his understanding that the perpetual public easement is
ongoing with no time limit.
Willkom Answered in the affirmative.
Puckett Asked staff to repeat the numbers of the conditions that were
modified.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 3
Willkom Reiterated the condition numbers: 2.1, 6.1, 6.5, and 11.2.t.
Director Added that Condition 13.3 is proposed to be eliminated.
Thompson Recommended that Item J on the revised resolution referencing
sewer in relation to the Regional Water Quality Board should be
changed to storm runoff.
Director Stated the condition is accurate.
Nielsen Asked if it is accurate now or would be accurate as modified by
Commissioner Thompson's suggestion.
Kendig Indicated that it will be accurate if it is revised to state storm runoff.
Kozak Referred to page 13 of the Environmental evaluation; it is
encouraging to see the improvements to Red Hill with the raised
landscape median as an example; and, asked for clarification
regarding IX. in the last paragraph referencing modifications to
parking standards.
Willkom Stated that the modification to parking standards was approved by
the City Council a few months ago through a zone change
proposal; the proposed project tract map will be consistent with
what the Council approved.
Nielsen Asked why there was no Negative Declaration included in the staff
report.
Willkom Responded that staff prepared an Initial Study Checklist and
requests that the Planning Commission determine that the project
is consistent with the program EIR/EIS with no new mitigation or
additional environmental impact information required.
Nielsen Asked if pedestrian access through the Linear Park across
Carnegie and Armstrong would include pedestrian bridges.
Willkom Stated there will be a pedestrian bridge across Armstrong.
Nielsen Invited the applicant to the lectern.
Elizabeth Cobb, Stated the applicant is pleased to have the Neighborhood E
representing tentative map, which encompasses the initial entitlement, to begin
Legacy Park breaking ground and getting into construction; this is a monumental
partners point for the developer.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 4
Ms. Cobb This is a complex project and this is one neighborhood with two to
continued come; the applicant has worked with staff on the conditions; a
formal letter was submitted and is incorporated herein by reference;
the letter outlined fhe conditions already worked through with staff;
the exception would be Condition 6.8 with reference to the Red Hill
median and the response to constructing that and working with the
City through a reimbursement agreement.
Applicant understands the importance of the median to the City and
is willing to work with the City as construction begins on the east
side of the street and anticipates that the applicant can work
collaboratively with the City through the design elements and the
construction elements of the median; there are many details in
working through the median which the applicant anticipates
resolving with the City; the applicant would like to see a concurrent
invoice payment to help the applicant deal with cash flow concerns,
considering it was not part of the Development and Disposition
Agreement (DDA) and what was contained in the infrastructure at
that time; this is a highly technical component; applicant is putting
forth the comments with the understanding that this can be worked
through with staff.
Nielsen Asked staff to respond to the applicant's remarks regarding
Condition 6.8.
Shingleton Stated she had spoken with the City Manager on the applicant's
Assistant City request regarding Condition 6.8; the improvements of medians was
Manager required by the Specific Plan on other projects similar to Tustin
Legacy developers such as Lennar and William Lyon who had the
full responsibility for construction of those medians; it was an
oversight which was not specifically isolated in the DDA although
Red Hill improvements were required; staff has agreed to include
the Red Hill median cost reimbursement as an item for which the
Redevelopment Agency would compensate the developer with the
obligation that the developer would be required to construct the
median.
The applicant has alternatively requested that, while the applicant
assumes a construction role on the median widening, a
construction management role on the median is unacceptable to
staff; the applicant will have full responsibility; staff recommended
full construction of the median and the full right-of--way
improvements on the east side of Red Hill Avenue; staff agreed to
work through a required reimbursement agreement to provide the
developer with segmentation of the physical improvements to allow
for adequate reimbursement; the language requested regarding
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 5
concurrence, approval of invoices, and payments cannot be
recommended at this point; the segmentation will automatically be
concurrent with every invoice that the applicant receives on a
construction project; the City will work collaboratively with the
developer to find segments which staff determines to be
reasonable.
It is requested that the Commission trust staff in this regard and not
recommend any further alterations to this condition.
Kozak Suggested that segmentation of the project and payment for
construction will be covered by the proposed reimbursement
agreement.
Shingleton Answered in the affirmative; adding that this is an expense that the
Redevelopment Agency has agreed to accept; it would normally be
a developer obligation of the Specific Plan for the developer to
construct; this is far in excess of what would be normal; similar
conditions have been imposed on other developers at the Legacy.
Nielsen Asked if this requirement refers to timing.
Shingleton Stated that the requirement refers to timing and construction
management versus construction obligation; the City's position is
that the obligation for construction shall be the developer's.
Nielsen Asked if the applicant had any comment.
Ms. Cobb Responded that the Redevelopment Agency is working closely with
the developer and the cooperative effort is appreciated; this is not
something to hold up the recommendation to move the project to
the City Council.
7:27 p.m. The Public Hearing closed.
Commission It was the consensus of the Commission that the project be
recommended to the City Council, as modified and as proposed by
the Assistant City Manager.
It was moved by Murray, seconded by Thompson, to adopt
Resolution No. 4068. Motion carried 5-0.

approved transitional housing use at 1 Hope Drive, Building
B.
7:31 p.m. The Public Hearing opened.
Hutter Presented the staff report.
Murray Stated his concern was that the survey took place at the Santa Ana
location; if there was 20 percent walk-up at Santa Ana, please
explain how those statistics relate to the Tustin walk-up.
Director Pointed out on the Site Plan the campus environment planned for
this location which would not allow for walk-up such as the Santa
Ana location; the plan is for individuals to filter through the security
area to the proposed clinic; the clinic is intended solely for the
individuals who are receiving services from the transitional facility or
who have an appointment.
Murray Asked if there is any video planned for security of the parking area.
Director Suggested that would be a question for the applicant.
Puckett Stated the walk-up was also his concern, but staffs explanation
answered that concern.
Director Added that was the reason for the addition of Condition 2.4.
Nielsen Asked if the overflow parking would be in the basketball court area.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 7
Director Answered in the affirmative.
Thompson Asked if staff could explain further about the Santa Ana facility that
was used as an analogue for this application.
Director Suggested the applicant may want to address this issue; staff was
advised that the Santa Ana facility exists in a strip mall, a
commercial area wherein common parking is shared with other
commercial tenants; the Tustin location would share parking for the
pure uses associated with the Village of Hope.
Kozak Asked if the area occupied by. the clinic would reduce the 192-bed
count for the transitional living center.
Huffer Indicated the residents' rooms are located on the second and third
floors of that building.
Kozak Questioned whether this is a proposed use for an otherwise vacant
area in the men's dormitory.
Hutter Answered in the affirmative.
Kozak Asked if there were conditions related to the disposal of biowaste
and security for the pharmacy and pharmaceuticals contained in
that pharmacy.
Director Answered that those issues would be handled by the licensing
agency rather than the City.
Kozak Asked what the licensing agency would be.
Director Responded it was her understanding that would be the Orange
County Health Department.
Nielsen Asked if the original plan for this space was for extra rooms in the
men's dormitory, storage area, or what.
Director Stated it was staffs understanding that it was always the Rescue
Mission's desire to provide some sort of health facility.
Nielsen Invited the applicant to the lectern.
John Luker, Vice Stated the applicant appreciated staffs assistance in bringing this
President of the application to the Planning Commission; the medical/dental clinic
Orange County was always anticipated to be a part of the Village of Hope and was
Rescue Mission part of the original application; there was a major renovation to
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 8
allow for the clinic; the intent was to help other people at that
facility, but the parking was an issue; the parking study showed that
about half the people would arrive by bus or be dropped off at a
nearby location and walk to the facility; therefore, the maximum
amount of parking would not be necessary; there are video
cameras at the security gate that record everyone who comes into
the facility; the clinic use will be by appointment only and
everyone's name will be recorded for security purposes.
Murray Asked what was anticipated as the walk-up or drop-off numbers.
Mr. Luker Responded that the average was anticipated to be 40-50 percent
bus traffic or drop-offs.
Nielsen Asked how many patients are served monthly, yearly in the Santa
Ana facility.
Mr. Luker Responded about 40 patients per day; the current facility does not
service dental, which will be added to the Tustin facility; about 50
are anticipated per day.
Nielsen Asked what sort of medical staff will be available.
Mr. Luker Responded there are 8-9 nurse practitioners, medical assistants,
and a medical doctor who oversees the staff.
Nielsen Questioned the extent of the treatment planned at the facility.
Mr. Luker Replied that it will be a primary .care clinic for patients with flus,
colds, maintenance of low-income diabetics, some blood work;
there will be no surgery, no anesthesia.
Nielsen Stated his understanding there would be no emergency designation
at this location.
Mr. Luker Answered in the affirmative.
Murray Asked what mitigation is planned if the circumstances and/or
caseload begins to exceed the expectations.
Mr. Luker Answered that the facility would have to see how the parking works
out and return to staff, if necessary, to determine what changes
could be made.
Nielsen Questioned whether an addiction treatment is planned at this
location.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 9
Mr. Luker Answered in the negative.
Puckett Asked if the facilities will be available seven days a week.
Mr. Luker Responded that the 192-bed facility is a 24/7 operation; the clinic
will be Monday through Saturday, 8:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Thompson Suggested that the space count was determined based upon the
campus nature of the site.
Mr. Luker Answered in the affirmative.
Nielsen Asked if prescriptions will be filled on-site and what sort of security
would be put in place.
Mr. Luker Stated that most prescriptions will be filled off-site; the facility does
receive some donations, such as antibiotics, which are kept in a
locked on-site pharmacy and is regulated by the Department of
Health with all the requirements of a regular pharmacy.
Murray Asked if there will be 24-hour security within the campus.
Mr. Luker Responded in the affirmative.
Murray Questioned whether that would alleviate any concerns regarding an
alarm system in the actual medical facility.
Mr. Luker Stated the medical facility will be monitored full time in addition to
the on-site staff.
7:50 p.m. The Public Hearing closed.
Thompson Questioned whether Condition 2.4 could be qualified with a certain
timeframe, such as 12 months, so that it is not left open-ended.
Director Indicated that staff has the ability for an annual review, if necessary,
but has not typically required a specific timeframe.
Nielsen Suggested that, if parking or traffic were to become a problem, staff
would have the ability to revisit the issue.
Kozak Supported the amendment; this is a good addition to the Rescue
Mission.
Murray Agreed with Commissioner Kozak.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 10
Puckett Stated the Village of Hope is a great facility and a welcome addition
to the City.
Nielsen Indicated he is pleased to see this facility added to the Village of
Hope.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Kozak, to adopt Resolution
4075. Motion carried 5-0.

training, and boarding facility.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 4070, approving Conditional Use
Permit 07-015.
7:56 p.m. The Public Hearing opened.
Swiontek Presented the staff report.
Kozak Asked for clarification regarding the five foot wide sidewalk
requirement; he visited the site and saw no sidewalk there now.
Swiontek Deferred to Public Works for the answer to that question.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 11
Lutz Answered that the sidewalk is being added throughout the park.
Kozak Asked if that will be a standard condition for the planned
community.
Lutz Answered in the affirmative, as the projects come through.
Thompson Questioned whether or not modifications are planned for the noise
aspect.
Swiontek Stated that only interior tenant improvements are proposed along
with parking lot configuration to meet the current City standards and
also landscaping; there will be no new openings cut in the building
nor any new doors; the sound study recommended that all windows
be closed to comply with the Tustin Noise Ordinance; all
recommendations of the sound study have been conditioned; the
applicant will have to comply with those recommendations; in
addition, the applicant is conditioned to apply sound attenuation
which the applicant can better describe; the product used at the
current facility is proposed.
Nielsen Invited the applicant to the lectern.
Laurie Zurborg, Indicated that barking is minimal in a dog daycare environment as
applicant, and opposed to a kennel environment where dogs are sitting in kennels
Lisa Knight, co- and are bored and frustrated; because the dogs play with each
owner of the new other in a daycare situation, the only barking will be play barking;
facility the attendants use positive reinforcement to quiet the dogs with
humane bark-control devices; shock collars are never used; the
plan is designed with interior walls which results in double walls
inside; at the Rancho location, there is an outside area, but none is
planned for this location.
Thompson Asked if the other facility has a similar proximity with residential
areas.
Ms. Zurborg Stated that the residential area is closer at the Rancho location; in
that location, the facility shares a wall with another tenant and has
received no complaints or problems.
Murray Asked for clarification of the waste mitigation system.
Ms. Zurborg Answered that inside the building there are janitor carts that have
poop bags on them; staff cleans the waste up right when it
happens, close the bag, and put that bag into another bag; the
waste is disposed of in the regular trash containers; outside the
building, if clients allow their dogs to use the front grass area, there
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 12
are disposable poop bags on a stand; clients are asked to bring the
waste inside to be disposed of properly.
Puckett Welcomed the business to Tustin.
Nielsen Asked how late someone would be there in the evening and how
early in the morning.
Ms. Zurborg Indicated the staff arrives at 7:00 a.m. and, depending on the
training classes, leaves between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m.; the difference
between a daycare and a kennel is that the dogs are exercised for
11 hours a day and are so tired that they want a good night's rest.
Nielsen Asked if staff might be there until 10:00 or 11:00 at night.
Ms. Zurborg Answered in the negative.
Kozak Thanked the applicant for the thoroughness of the proposal; and,
asked if the trash enclosure would be covered.
Ms. Zurborg Answered that the plan is to modify the structure as there may not
be enough room for a recycling bin and a waste bin.
Kozak Asked whether the exterior walls will be improved.
Ms. Zurborg Indicated that the building has been painted; added it has been
enjoyable dealing with the City of Tustin; and, thanked Ryan
Swiontek for his diligence and communication with the applicant.
John Collins Stated that he is a commercial broker who works with the owners
(provided no adjacent to the site; while he is excited that a group like this is
speaker form) coming to the property; there are concerns regarding the control of
the animal waste outside the property and the possibly of the
property getting rundown; if the property is not properly maintained,
a revocation of the conditional use permit would be in order; 30
employees in Santa Margarita and nine people in the new facility,
which is larger, does not compute; parking may be impacted across
the street.
Nielsen Asked staff to address the traffic issue.
Lutz Indicated that these types of traffic issues are generally addressed
with peak hour volumes in mind; the traffic generated by this
particular use is not peak-hour sensitive; there is a spread of time
during which the dogs are delivered and picked up; the volume is
not enough to be considered a problem; Chambers Road is in the
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 13
industrial area and does not have the traffic a major arterial would
have.
Nielsen Asked if staff could make the traffic study available to Mr. Collins.
Lutz Answered in the affirmative.
Nielsen Invited the applicant back to the lectern to address the other
questions posed by Mr. Collins.
Ms. Zurborg Stated there have been no complaints at the current facility
regarding waste distributed off the property even though that facility
is closer to other tenants.
Nielsen Asked if there is a monitoring procedure at that facility.
Ms. Zurborg Indicated that poop hunts are a regular procedure for staff.
Nielsen Asked for clarification regarding the staff size.
Ms. Zurborg Stated that there are six to seven employees are the Rancho site
and nine are planned for the Tustin site; she does not know where
the number 30 came from.
Thompson Suggested that, if there is a problem after the facility is opened,
there would be a code violation aspect and enforcement.
Director Answered in the affirmative and referred to Condition Nos. 6.1, 6.3,
6.4, 6.7 that address this issue; any sanitary nuisance would be
addressed by the Tustin City Code from a broader perspective; the
conditional use permit could be revoked if those specific conditions
were violated.
Kozak Asked the applicant if she understood those conditions.
Ms. Zurborg Answered in the affirmative; and, reiterated there have never been
any code violations at the Rancho site.
Swiontek Clarified that Condition 6.6 states that the facility is limited to nine
employees at any given time; Condition 6.5, staff requested that the
hours of operation on Sunday be changed from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00
a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to simplify
the matter in case operations do change on Sunday.
8:20 p.m. The Public Hearing closed.

8:25 p.m. The Public Hearing opened.
Willkom Presented the staff report, pointing out the modifications that staff
was recommending and that were provided at the dais.
Nielsen, Puckett, Noted for the record that they had met with the applicant prior to the
Murray, Kozak, and meeting.
Thompson
Kendig Asked if at any time there were more than two Commissioners at
these meetings.
Commissioners Answered in the negative.
Tom Saltarelli, Indicated this is an exciting time for the developer; this project has
lawyer and been in the works for two years; the applicant hopes to move
consultant for forward to the City Council; redevelopment is important to the City,
applicant the applicant has no problems with any of the conditions; the
owner, Frank Haffner, and members of his staff are available for
any questions the Commission may have; John Haffner has a brief
presentation.
Nielsen Commented on the impressive 3-D presentation; and, asked if
there were any questions for the applicant.
Murray Suggested that subterranean parking can sometimes present
challenges from the safety standpoint; and, asked if the access to
the subterranean parking was gated or if there would be other
means of denying access to unwelcome visitors.
Mr. Haffner Answered that the on-site circulation presented a queuing issue
preventing the parking garage from having a gate; however, there
is a gate in the subterranean level that prevents guests from
parking in resident stalls and also prevents access to the elevator
or stairway; the only way to access the elevators and stairways
would be to go through the secured gate in the parking garage by
pressing an intercom button and be granted access through a video
system at the receptionist's desk.
Murray Asked. if there would be means for requesting emergency
assistance should someone have a medical issue in the
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 16
subterranean area by pressing an emergency button or similar
measures of that type.
Mr. Haffner Indicated that such a system could be implemented; the plans
provide for a security system utilizing video cameras which are
viewable via the Internet by staff only; those cameras include the
subterranean area.
Puckett Complimented the applicant on the professional presentation; and
asked if there would be access to the alley through a gate or
whether that was an emergency access.
Mr. Haffner Replied that would be an emergency access.
Thompson Suggested that the traffic study indicated a restriction for left-turn
movements out the driveway; and, asked if that was a City
restriction.
Lutz Answered that the traffic study suggested the restriction and staff
concurred.
Thompson Asked how the height of the structure compares to the recently
approved and under construction Cottages project.
Willkom Responded that the Cottages project is 2'/z stories of 35 feet in
height; the proposed development will be 47 feet at the highest
point, the tower structure along the Red Hill elevation.
Nielsen Asked for the mean height of the rest of the project.
Director Answered that the height would be approximately 40 feet.
Thompson Asked for clarification regarding the mention of future tie-ins to the
reuse of the high school.
Mr. Saltarelli Stated that a building that is bordering the street in the back should
include architectural features and articulation in order to merge
nicely with whatever future development takes place; the fire
access road that goes around the project will be 30 feet wide and
provides a nice setback and would add that same setback to
whatever neighboring project goes in; once the Legacy is complete,
there will be no option but to redevelop existing properties, and
more infill redevelopment will be required.
Thompson Asked how the high school events and noise issues may impact the
project.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 17
Mr. Haffner Responded that the developer has high standards and utilizes
acoustical engineers in the design of windows and walls that would
mitigate the noise.
Kozak Commented that, as residents begin to move into Monarch Village,
those that are facing the high school be advised that events will
occur that create noise, such as football games, fireworks, etc.
Nielsen Asked if any of the units in the project will be designated as low-
income housing.
Mr. Haffner Answered in the negative; and, added that it is the developer's
policy to make rents affordable which helps maintain occupancy in
the building.
Nielsen Asked for the time frame for demolition and reconstruction.
Mr. Haffner Indicated that the demolition should start in early 2008, pending the
approval and obtaining of proper permits; the project could be
finished in approximately 20 months.
Nielsen Stated that he noticed in modified Condition 1.12 concerns
regarding northbound traffic on Red Hill and left turns into the
project; and, asked if that will change from what exists now to a
striped turn pocket.
Lutz Answered the left turn would be discussed at the time of design;
staff envisions a striped left-turn pocket and a restriction to left turns
out of the project in addition to the right turn only sign.
Nielsen Asked if the ingress/egress is straight across from the Del Taco exit
and entrance on the opposite side of the street or offset a bit.
Lutz Indicated that the ingress/egress will be offset from the Del Taco
facility.
Nielsen Suggested that the age restriction covenant that runs with the land
will be perpetual.
Director Affirmed Chair Nielsen's suggestion.
Mr. Saltarelli Added that the design team can add an antenna from the
basement to the topside for facilitation of the emergency system
referred to by Commissioner Murray.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 18
Bob Davis, 1101 Indicated he lives in Heritage Place, is a retired Navy man, and is
Sycamore Avenue, 85 years old; there is a great need for this sort of facility in this
Tustin community; he moved into Heritage Place when his former place of
residence was sold and the rents raised; he called HUD who
recommended Heritage Place; the amenities provide many benefits
for seniors; the units are well-constructed, affordable, secure, and
enhance the lives of the elderly.
George Speicher, Stated he has lived in Tustin since 1975; the demographics of
14711 Alder Lane, Orange County are changing; this is a great project for seniors and
Tustin will improve the area.
9:11 p.m. The Public Hearing closed.
Thompson Asked if there would. be any bikeway requirement of the west side
of the development.
Lutz Indicated that widening is planned for that area to accommodate a
bike lane.
Commissioners It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that this is a
landmark project and a wonderful addition to Tustin.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Kozak, to adopt Resolution
Nos. 4071, 4072, 4073, and 4074. Motion carried 5-0.
None REGULAR BUSINESS
STAFF CONCERNS
6. REPORT OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE NOVEMBER 6,
2007, CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Director reported The City Council heard the appeal of the items decided upon by the
Planning Commission, the Hampton Village 77-unit condominium
project; the Council approved the project with modifications, such
as additional setbacks, height restrictions, windows restricted from
opening and to be opaque; the Zone Change was approved for that
project alone; if the developer does not take advantage of that
project within two years, the City has the ability to rezone to an R-4
designation; the Council chose to put safeguards in place to ensure
that what was approved would be constructed and no higher
density project built if the property were sold to another developer.
Minutes -Planning Commission 11-13-07 Page 19
Director continued The City adopted a Negative Declaration for the Tustin Commuter
Rail Station parking structure for a future project; when the City has
plans and specifications for that, the plans will be brought to the
Commission as an informational item.
The Council held the first reading of the International Building Code
and related construction codes Ordinance., required to be adopted
prior to the end of the year; the Planning Commission will continue
to be the Board of Appeals.
The project that the Commission took action on this evening would
be subject to the dense and tall building Ordinance that the Council
considered earlier this year; that is a County-wide Ordinance that
the Sheriff, Tustin Police Department, and Orange County Fire
Authority asked be adopted.
COMMISSION CONCERNS

recent firestorms.
Noted he is looking forward to the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast this
Thursday.
Remarked that he received information regarding fire construction
on buildings that abutted the areas where a neighboring community
had potential fire damage; his understanding was that embers have
the ability to enter the venting of the roofs, that some newer
construction adds venting to tiles in the roofs; and, asked if that is
something that is being passed on to builders in Tustin.
Director Indicated staff has heard nothing as yet.
Murray Asked for staffs plans regarding the overview on the building permit
process that he had requested at a prior meeting.
Director Responded that staff plans to provide that overview.
Puckett Stated he attended a luncheon at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine that
was a fundraiser for the Boy Scouts of Orange County primarily
sponsored by the commercial real estate industry in Orange
County; $300,000 was raised for the Orange County Council of the
Boy Scouts of America; there were about five scouts that helped
with the presentation of the colors-one a Life Scout and one an
Eagle Scout; it takes 21 merit badges to earn Eagle; these two
guys must have had 50 or 60.
Noted he just returned from three weeks in Australia and New
Zealand; it was a great time, but three weeks is a long time to be
away from Tustin; Tustin has ~a sister city in New Zealand, Mata
Mata, which is two hours south of Auckland, an area where Lord of
the Rings was filmed; he intended to get down there but was
unable to do so.
Indicated the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast is sponsored by the Tustin

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION N0.4075
RESOLUTION N0.4075
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, APPROVING AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
01-031 ALLOWING A MEDICAL AND DENTAL CLINIC USE IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE APPROVED TRANSITIONAL/EMERGENCY
HOUSING FACILITY AT 1 HOPE DRIVE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. A proper application, Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 01-031, was
submitted John Luker (Orange County Rescue Mission), requesting to
amend the existing Conditional Use Permit 01-031 to allow a 4,000 square
foot medical and dental clinic on the first floor of the Men's Dormitory
(Building B) at the project site within Planning Area 3 of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan (SP-1) Zoning District.
B. The General Plan MCAS Tustin Specific Plan land use designation
provides for various housing, employment, and community support uses
including Transitional/Emergency Housing uses. In addition, the project
has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-element of the
City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with
the. Air Quality Sub-element;
C. Section 3.3.4A of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan identifies medical/dental
clinics as a conditionally permitted use in the Transitional/Emergency
Housing (SP-1 Planning Area 3) land use area.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said
application on November 13, 2007, by the Planning Commission;
E. The establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will
not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to health, safety,
morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in
the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be injurious or detrimental to
the property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that:
1) The proposed use complies with the General Plan Land Use
Element in that Transitional/Emergency Housing is authorized in
the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
document includes medical and dental clinics as conditionally
Resolution No. 4075
Page 2
permitted use in the Transitional/Emergency Housing land use area
of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (Planning Area 3).
2) Although the proposed clinic facility is larger than the existing clinic
in Santa Ana, the parking survey report has concluded that the
maximum parking demand generated by the proposed use is
eleven (11) parking spaces and can be accommodated by the
existing sixteen (16) surplus parking spaces. In addition, If, after
the clinic is in operation, the spaces are not deemed sufficient and
do not accommodate the demand on-site, Condition 2.4 has been
added.
3) The proposed medical and dental clinic use would not be
detrimental to surrounding properties in that the hours of operation,
number of clients, and type of operation are consistent with other
businesses in the area and all operations will be conducted inside
the building.
4) That on-site security will be provided to ensure safety of the
medical and dental clinic clients and the transitional housing
residents.

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Rescue Mission (OCRM) is requesting approval to establish a
transitional housing facility known as the Village of Hope, construct a 43,000 square foot
building to accommodate administrative offices, a warehouse, dining room, and food
preparation area and a 7,930 square foot building to accommodate an auditorium and
offices, and enhance the exterior of two existing barracks buildings. A 1400 square foot
existing mechanical building is also proposed to be retained/reused. Together, the total
proposed build-out of and renovation of the site will result in 132,994 square feet.
The OCRM is committed to using the site to provide a 192 bed 24- hour transitional
housing program and on-site services to the future residents of the facility. The program
will service the emergency housing needs of single men and women. The program
integrates counseling, education, job training, and other services to ensure that the cycle
of homelessness is ended and that participating individuals can once again become
productive members of the community.
Site and Surrounding Properties
The project site is a 5.1-acre site located near the southeast intersection of Redhill Avenue
and Valencia Avenue within the former Marine Corps Air Station at Tustin (Attachment A -
Location Map). The site is currently developed with two former barracks buildings that
were previously used to house enlisted persons a# the former MCAS-Tustin. Interim
access to the site is provided through the main gate at Redhill Avenue and Valencia
Avenue to the existing Lansdowne Road. Permanent access will be from a private street
Lansdowne Road, which will connect to the future new backbone roadway system
proposed for the former MCAS Tustin.
The parcel is zoned Public and Institutional (P&I) and is located within the MCAS-Tustin
Specific Plan land use designation of the General Plan. The property is designated for
reuse as a transitional housing facility under the Transitional/Emergency Housing
designation of the MCAS-Tustin Reuse Plan. To the north, east, and south are former
MCAS-Tustin facilities and to the west are Redhill Avenue and office and industrial
buildings.
Discretionary Actions
In 1996, the City of Tustin, the Local Redevelopment Authority for MCAS-Tustin,
approved a Reuse Plan for MCAS Tustin (amended 1998) that provides for future
preferred land uses at the base and completed a Homeless Assistance Plan for MCAS-
Tustin as required by the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless
Assistance Act of 1994.
The Reuse Plan and Homeless Assistance Plan approved by the federal department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recommended that a 5.1-acre parcel, including
Planning Commission Report
CUP 01-030 & DR 01-037
December 10, 2001
Page 3
two existing barrack buildings 553 and 554 be conveyed to the City of Tustin for
subsequent ground leasing to the OCRM. Pursuant to the Reuse Plan and Homeless
Assistance Plan, the OCRM's proposed conversion of the 5.1-acre parcel into astate-
of-the-art homeless transitional housing facility to support 192 residents.
In September 1999, the City of Tustin and Department of Navy executed an interim lease
for the site. The City subsequently subleased the site to the OCRM to permit early
transitional use by the Rescue Mission until a deed transfer could be implemented. The
interim lease permitted minor interior remodel of the two existing barracks as part of the
proposed redevelopment of the site as approved in the Reuse Plan and Homeless
Assistance Plan. On December 3, 2001, the City Council authorized the City to accept a
quitclaim for the site from the Department of Navy at no cost and authorized
Redevelopment Agency staff to enter into a no rent Ground Lease between the City and
OCRM. The execution of the quitclaim by the Department of Navy is pending. The term
of the Lease will be for a period of twenty (20) years with two, fve (5} year extensions
possible. The City also has the ability to convey the site to the OCRM in the future.
The current General Plan land use designation of the site is "MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan" which, together with the Reuse Plan/Specific Plan for MCAS Tustin, would permit
the redevelopment of the subject site (Village of Hope) as a transitional/emergency
housing use. Although the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan has been prepared to establish
new zoning for the site, it is not anticipated that the Specific Plan will be brought forward
to the Planning Commission and City council for adoption until the City completes all
negotiations with the Navy on acquisition of property. This is because a new zoning
designation for the property does have real estate valuation implications. The site's
current zoning is Public and Institutional (P&I) which permits the proposed project by
approval of the following:
• Conditional Use Permit 01-030 to authorize the transitional housing program; and,
• Design Review 01-037 to authorize site design, architecture, landscaping, and
other site amenities of the project.
DISCUSSION
The following discussion addresses the site and floor plans, access and circulation,
parking, architecture, landscaping, and environmental documentation. The plans have
been reviewed for compliance with the Tustin City Code and the draft MCAS-Tustin
Specific Plan/Reuse Plan to ensure consistency with existing and fu#ure standards and
guidelines.

Site Plan and Floor Plans
The proposed buildings would be located to the south and west of the existing former
barracks buildings and arranged to create a courtyard in the center of the site (Attachment
B -Submitted Plans). The barracks are currently being converted to accommodate the
men's and women's dormitories. The men's dormitory would be located in the former
barracks building located in the north portion of the site and the women's dormitory would
be located in the former barracks building located in the east portion of the site. An
auditorium would be located between the men's and women's dormitories and a
warehouse, kitchen, dining room, and administrative offices would be located across the
courtyard from the dormitories, in the west portion of the site.
The main entrance and the parking lot would be located to the south of the buildings and a
thirty-five (35) foot landscape setback with a variety of groundcover, shrubs, and trees and
the existing masonry wall would be located along Redhill Avenue. A recreational area with
portable basketball hoops would be located to the north of the buildings and landscaping
would be located along the eastern property line, to the east of the women's dormitory.
The southernmost portion of Building B would contain a warehouse with a lowered truck
well at the rear. To ensure this area is adequately screened, Condition No. 2.10 is
included to require the applicant to screen the truck bay from view along Redhill Avenue
and the facility entrance with a combination of walls and landscaping material.
Attachment C contains a summary of development standards. The project meets all the
development standards of the Tustin City Code and draft MCAS-Tustin Specific
Plan/Reuse Plan.
Access and Circulation
As noted above, the primary vehicular entrance and parking lot would be located along the
southern property line. A circular driveway would be located in front of the primary building
entrance, which is located on the south elevation. A secondary vehicular entrance would
be located along the eastern property line and provide access to an overflow parking area
behind the dormitories that would typically be used as a basketball court. Since this area
is also required for emergency service access, Condition No. 3.3 is included to restrict
overflow parking in a twenty (20) foot wide center drive aisle.
Parking
Parking for institutional uses is determined on a case-by-case basis in conjunction with a
conditional use permit application. However, the draft MCAS-Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse
Plan requires one (1) parking space for each four (4) beds within a transitional housing
facility. Based on a maximum of 192 beds, a minimum of forty-eight (48) parking spaces
would be required. A total of -sixty-four (64) parking spaces are proposed. In addition, the
basketball court area could be used for overflow parking as previously discussed.

Architecture
The proposed buildings are designed in a contemporary style with linear elevations and
details (Attachment B -Elevations). The buildings are one-story and have a maximum
height of thirty-one (31) feet and six (6) inches. A combination of wood, glass, and metal
materials will be used. The primary building colors will be a combination of tan tones. The
window mullions, roof panels, and trellises at the front entry will be metal with a pewter
finish and the window glass will be tinted green. A number of wood beams will be
incorporated into the exterior. The interior of the existing barracks buildings are currently
being renovated and the trim, doors, and guardrail of the dormitories are proposed to be
painted to match the colors on the new buildings. With these enhancements, the existing
buildings will complement the design, materials, and colors of the new buildings.
Condition No. 2.19 is included to require the applicant to submit details for new guard rails
and elevator shafts for the dormitories at plan check.
Landscaping
Landscape areas with a combination of groundcover, shrubs, and trees will be located
around the perimeter of the site, at the primary entrance, and within the courtyard. An
existing masonry wall is located adjacent to Redhill Avenue which is proposed to
remain. New tubular steel fencing is proposed around the perimeter of the site.
Condition No. 2.12 would require the fencing to be a minimum of five (5) feet in height.
Condition Nos. 2.16 through 2.18 would require the following:
Screening of the garden plot area and pre-fabricated shed in the northwest
corner of the site from public view with a landscaping and/or walls.
Installation of a combination of groundcover, shrubs, vines, and trees along the
northern property line in the planter adjacent to the basketball court to screen .this
area from public view along Valencia Avenue.
Use of an alternative variety of the London Plane Tree or another species since
this species is susceptible to disease.
Environmental Documentation
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified a joint Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR} for the reuse and disposal of all
property at MCAS Tustin (hereafter referred to as the "Program EIS/EIR"). The Navy
subsequently issued a Record of Decision on the Program EIS/EIR on March 2, 2001. On
August 29, 2001, the Navy executed a Finding of Suitability to Transfer (POST)
environmental clearance document for the site as required by the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) prior to transfer from the Navy to the City of Tustin.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15168,
the City of Tustin has completed an environmental checklist and determined that all effects
Planning Commission Report
CUP 01-030 & DR 01-037
December 10, 2001
Page 6
associated with the proposed project were adequately evaluated in the Program EIS/EIR
for MCAS Tustin, that no new effects would occur, that no substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects would occur, that no new mitigation
measures would be required, that no applicable mitigation measures previously not found
to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and that there are no new mitigation measures or
alternatives applicable to the project that would substantially reduce effects of the project
that have not been considered and adopted. The Environmental Analysis Checklist For
Projects With Previously Certified/Approved Environmental Documents prepared for this
project is included as Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3816 (Attachment D).
Upon further review, certain of the general mitigation measures for the reuse of MCAS,
Tustin that were identified in the environmenta! review of this project are not applicable
for a variety of reasons and have not been incorporated as conditions of approval. A list
of those measures and the reasons for not incorporating them as conditions is included
as Exhibit B of Resolution No. 3816.
ANALYSIS
A decision to approve this request can be supported by the following findings:
• The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan land use designation
MCAS-Tustin Specific Plan and the Public and Institutional zoning district, which
provide for a variety of institutional uses.
• The project is consistent with the Reuse Plan and Homeless Assistance Plan
through the development of a 5.1-acre parcel into a 192-bed transitional housing
program.
• The facility will be used for the purpose of operating a 192-bed transitional
housing program for the benefit of homeless persons who desire to transition
from homelessness to being productive members of the community.
• The location, size, architectural features, and general appearance of the project are
appropriate for the site, will contribute to the orderly redevelopment of MCAS-Tustin
and Tustin, and be compatible with existing and future development.
• The potential environmental impacts of the project have been adequately
addressed by the Environmental. Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report
(EIS/EIR) for the reuse and disposal of all property at MCAS Tustin as described in
the Environmental Analysis Checklist -For Projects With Previously
Certified/Approved Environmental Documents and no additional impacts are
anticipated.
