ENVIRONMENTAL
STATUS: THIS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT (CLASS 1)
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15301 OF
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
REQUEST: FOR REDUCTION OF OFF-STREET REQUIRED PARKING
AND JOINT-USE PARKING AT THE TUSTIN COURTYARD
RETAIL COMMERCIAL CENTER.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Zoning Administrator adopt Zoning Administrator Action No. 08-004 approving
Conditional Use Permit 08-003, a reduction of off-street required parking and joint-use
parking.
BACKGROUND
On July 25, 1994, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3287 approving a
remodel of the retail commercial center, an addition of 1,934 square feet of retail space,
Zoning Administrator Report
CUP 08-003
Page 2
a master sign plan, and amending Conditional Use Permit 76-14. Condition 3.1 of
Resolution No. 3287 required 719 parking spaces to be maintained.
Site and Surrounding Properties
The project site is located within the Tustin Courtyard retail center, which is bounded by
Irvine Boulevard to the north, Holt Avenue and Newport Avenue to the east, East First
Street to the south, and existing commercial properties to the west. The Tustin Courtyard
is an existing 156,367 square-foot retail commercial center with a 716-space parking lot.
The project site is currently improved with a 24,828 square-foot tenant space (Unit E1),
which is the future location of the Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store, and several inline
retail commercial tenant spaces along First Street. Unit E1, which is currently undergoing
tenant improvements, is located between the CVS Pharmacy at 671 E. First Street and the
Mervyn's store at 18182 Irvine Boulevard.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The applicant proposes to build a truck dock in the rear of the building to serve Unit E1,
the future location of Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store. The proposed truck dock
.,~
would remove fourteen (14) parking spaces in the area east of the building. The parking
spaces along the west side of the project site typically serve as employee parking since
the main store entrances are on the east side of the building.
Parking
Condition 3.1 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 3287 required 719 parking
spaces to be maintained. However, according to the site plan, the site currently has
716 parking spaces and the applicant proposes to remove fourteen (14) parking spaces
in the rear area of the building, resulting in 702 remaining parking spaces.
The applicant submitted a parking utilization analysis report conducted by Pirzadeh &
Associates, Inc. Staff reviewed the parking utilization analysis and determined that it
complies with Tustin City Code Section 9271 aa, which allows for parking reduction in
multi-tenant joint-use sites. The report states that parking surveys were conducted at
two locations, the Tustin Courtyard and the existing Sprouts Farmers Market at 3775
Alton Parkway in the City of Irvine. The existing 24,136 square-foot Sprouts Farmers
Market in the City of Irvine is similar in size to the proposed 24,828 square-foot Sprouts
in the Tustin Courtyard. The parking utilization analysis report states that a peak parking
demand of 317 vehicles parking spaces based on observed parking demand at the two
locations. Based on the maximum parking space demand of 317, the proposed 702
parking spaces would be sufficient for the project site.
Zoning Administrator Report
CUP 08-003
Page 3
If in the future the 702 spaces are not deemed sufficient and do not accommodate the
demand on-site, the impact will be alleviated by Condition 2.3.
ANALYSIS
In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, the Zoning Administrator
must determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing in or working in the
neighborhood or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements
in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City.
A decision to approve this request may be supported by the following findings:
A parking study in accordance with Tustin City Code Section 9271 as was
prepared by a licensed traffic engineer and submitted that demonstrated no
substantial conflict exists in the peak hours of parking demand for the use for
which the joint parking is proposed.
2. The proposed use, as conditioned, will not be detrimental to surrounding
properties in that the hours and operations of the medical use would be
compatible with surrounding uses.
3. The proposed use, as conditioned, will not have a negative effect on surrounding
properties, or impact traffic on the ability of parking in that sufficient parking
would be available on-site.
4. An existing recorded reciprocal covenant allows for reciprocal access and
parking between the properties within the Tustin Courtyard retail commercial
center.

Subject: Parking Utilization Analysis.
Tustin Courtyard, Tustin, California
Dear Mr. Lutz:
On behalf of our client Greg James, KID Architects we are pleased to submit this parking
utilization analysis to determine the actual number of arkin
exssting and Proposed uses within Tustin Courtyard. P g spaces needed for the
Tustin Courtyard is located in the City of Tustin and is bounded by Irvine Boulevard to the
north, Holt Avenue and Newport Avenue to the east, East 1st Street to the sou
existing commercial development to the west. The retail center co ~ and an
feet of occupiable space and all boil Waists of 158,367 square
feet are occupied (see Table 1). S ~ except for Unit E1 that contains 24,828 square
24,828 a grouts Farmers Market is proposing to occupy the vacant

Based on the current City of Tustin parking requirements, 834 parking spaces are required
for Tustin Courtyard. However, background information provided by the City shows that
when Use Permit 76-14 was approved all of the uses within the center, including
restaurants, were considered retail uses and parked at one rate. Using this information it
was determined that the center needs 709 parking spaces, which equated to approximately
one parking space per 222.7 square feet of retail use. Since the center was constructed in
accordance with the original approval, Tustin Courtyard retains legal non-conforming
parking rights except for additional square footage as described below. In 1994 an
application for a conditional use permit was submitted to amend Use Permit 76-14 for
exterior and structural modifications that included an additional 1,934 square feet in
building area. The additional building square footage was parked at the City's current rate
that required one parking space for each 200 square feet of retail space, which equated to
10 additional parking spaces. This increased the required parking for the center to 719
parking spaces. One of the Conditions of Approval contained in Conditional Use Permit 94-
004, Condition 3.1, required that the center maintain a minimum of 719 parking spaces.
Since Sprouts Farmers Market is proposed to be located within an existing vacant building
and that no new square footage is being proposed, the minimum amount of parking
required for Tustin Courtyard remains 719 parking spaces.
A parking count was conducted to determine the amount of parking spaces currently
available in Tustin Courtyard. A total of six parking zones were established, as shown in
Attachment 2, and a total of 716 parking spa,ees were counted, including 19 handicapped
parking spaces. The number of parking spaces is three less than the parking that is
required for the center. It should be noted that Bank of the West, at the southeast corner of
the site, is currently undergoing renovation and is occupying 15 of the parking spaces in
zone 6 with a temporary trailer that is serving as a fully functional bank. Since the 15
parking spaces in zone 6 will be opened up again for use after the bank renovation has been
completed, those parking spaces were included in the total amount of parking: spaces
available at the site...
The proposed Sprouts Farmers Market includes adding a truck dock behind the store that
will eliminate 14 parking spaces. This improvement reduces the available parking supply
at Tustin Courtyard from the existing 716 packing spaces to 702 parking spaces (see
Attachment 3). '
In order to determine the impact the elimination of 14 parking spaces will have on Tustin
Courtyard to accommodate the truck dock, a parking accumulation study was conducted.
Two parking surveys were performed at Tustin Courtyard on Saturday January 12, 2008
and on Wednesday January 16, 2008 between the hours of 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The
surveys showed that the peak parking demand time interval was between 1:00 PM and 1:30
PM with a total of 211 parked cars observed on Saturday and 218 parked cars observed on
Wednesday. A copy of the survey .data is included in Appendix A. The data demonstrates
that Tustin Courtyard is only utilizing approximately 30 percent of the 716 total parking
spaces. However, the numbers do not account for Unit E1 being vacant.

To determine the expected parking demand for Sprouts Farmers Market it was necessary to
perform a parking survey at a representative site. An existing Sprouts Farmers Market
located within the Weatpark Plaza in the City of Irvine was selected as the study site to
conduct the parking accumulation survey. The selection for the representative site and
methodology to conduct the survey was reviewed and accepted by City of Tustin staff on
January 8, 2008. The Weatpark Plaza Sprouts Farmers Market is very similar in size
(24,136 square feet) to the proposed Tustin Courtyard store (24,828 square feet) and both
are set in retail centers adjacent to residential settings. Two parking surveys were
performed at the existing Sprouts Farmers Market in the City of Irvine on Saturday
January 12, 2008 and on Wednesday January 16, 2008 between the hours of 11:00 AM and
8:00 PM. A copy of the survey data is included in Appendix A. In order to accurately
capture the Parking demand at the existing Sprouts Farmers Market, two parking zones
were identified, as shown on Attachment 4. Since there are other uses adjacent to Sprouts
Farmers Market the parking surveys only included cans that parked in the Zones and had
their destination as Sprouts Farmers Market. Packers that had destinations other than the
market were not included in the accumulation totals. The highest parking demand time
interval observed is between 12:00 PM and 12:30 PM on both days with a total of 90 parked
cars on Saturday and 99 parked cars on Wednesday.
Using the information derived from the parking surveys the parking demand for Tustin
Courtyard is not expected to exceed the parking supply, see Attachment 5 and Attachment
~-- 6. Although the peak parking demand periods observed for the two sites differ, they were
added to develop a worst case scenario of the parking that can be expected during peak
periods at Tustin Courtyard, Based on the parking surveys, the worst case scenario was
determined by adding the peak parking demand for Tustin Courtyard that was observed on
Wednesday between the hours of 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM (218 parked cars) and the existing
Sprouts Farmers Market that was observed on Wednesday between the hours of 12:00 PM
and 12:30 PM (99 parked cars) at the Westpark Plaza in the Citq of Irvine for a cumulative
total of 317 parked cars,
It can be concluded that based on the parking surveys that were conducted the uses within
Tustin Courtyard are projected to experience a peak parking demand of 317 parking spaces
that includes the proposed Sprouts Farmers Market. Thus projected parking demand shows
that there is a surplus of 385 parking spaces and that the elimination of the 14 parking
spaces for construction of the truck dock will not have an impact on the parking supply
based on the current mix of uses.
