A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW 08-009 TO
AUTHORIZE THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING 1,757
SQUARE FOOT ONE-STORY COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND
OTHER SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A 5,331 SQUARE FOOT TWO-STORY COMMERCIAL
BUILDING SUITABLE FOR RETAIL AND MEDICAL/DENTAL
OFFICE USES, INCLUDING ASSOCIATED SITE
IMPROVEMENTS, LOCATED AT 740 EL CAMINO REAL
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Design Review (DR) 08-009 was
submitted by Dr. Ashok Mehta, property owner, requesting
authorization to demolish and redevelop the property at 740 EI
Camino Real (also referred to as Assessor Parcel Number 401-
641-01)with a 5,331 square foot two-story commercial building;
B. That the subject property is located in the Central Commercial
District with Combining Parking Overlay (C-2 P), has a General
Plan land use designation of Old Town Commercial, and fronts onto
EI Camino Real;
C. That the proposed project is consistent with the policies of the
General Plan "Old Town Commercial" designation which allows for
retail, professional offices and service-oriented business activities.
The project has been determined to be consistent with the Air Quality
Sub-element;
D. That the project is consistent with the development standards of the
C-2 P zoning district;
E. That pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9233c(y)(1),
professional and general offices fronting onto Main Street or EI
Camino Real and located within the Old Town Commercial General
Plan land use designation are a conditionally permitted use in the C-2
zoning district;
F. That on November 1, 2008, Dr. Ashok Mehta filed a Conditional Use
Permit application (CUP 07-020) to establish a dental office in an
existing building at 740 EI Camino Real;
PC Resolution No. 4116
Design Review 08-009
June 9, 2009
Page 2
G. That on January 22, 2008, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. 4079, finding that the proposed project did not meet
the finding requirements of TCC 9233c(y)(1), thus denying CUP 07-
020;
H. That Dr. Sayed Mirrafati, property owner at the time, appealed the
decision of the Planning Commission to the City Council;
That on March 18, 2008, the Tustin City Council adopted Resolution
No. 08-22, reversing the Planning Commission decision and
approving CUP 07-020, authorizing a dental office located at 740 EI
Camino Real in the Central Commercial (C-2) zone and fronting onto
EI Camino Real;
J. That Condition 2.1 of City Council Resolution No. 08-22 requires the
applicant to enhance the exterior of the building through the Design
Review application process, for review and approval by the Planning
Commission;
K. That the applicant has opted to redevelop the entire site rather than
enhancing the exterior of the existing building, and thus filed
application DR 08-009;
L. That a public meeting was duly called, noticed, and held for said
application on June 9, 2009, by the Planning Commission.
II. In determining whether to approve the Design Review, the Planning
Commission must determine whether or not the location, size, architectural
features, and general appearance of the proposed development will impair
the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or future
development therein, or the occupancy as a whole. In making such findings,
the Commission has considered at least the following items:
1) The subject site is a unique corner location at the crossroads of EI
Camino Real and EI Camino Way, which serves as a gateway to Old
Town Tustin. The proposed building massing, orientation and
architecture will serve to enhance the subject site and augment the
surrounding commercial districts.
2) The proposed structures and associated improvements enhance the site
and are harmonious with the highest standards of improvements in the
surrounding area and total community.
3) The Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency and the City's Public
Works Department, Police Department, and Building Division have
reviewed and concur with the proposed project, as conditioned.
PC Resolution No. 4116
Design Review 08-009

4) The location, size, architectural features, and general appearance of the
proposed development will not impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development therein, or
the occupancy as a whole.
a) Height, bulk, and area of buildings: The proposed height of the
two-story structure is within the maximum permitted height in the
zoning district. The height and bulk of the building also hold the
street edge well and help to create swell-defined streetscape along
EI Camino Real.
b) Setbacks and site planning: The site design capitalizes upon the
corner and EI Camino Real street frontages by locating the building at
the property line. The site is planned to locate uses such as the open
parking lot, trash enclosure and exterior staircase to be located along
the less-visible and less-traveled EI Camino Way.
c) Exterior materials and colors: The proposed materials (brick,
stucco, metal, wrought iron, wood) are of a high quality, will serve to
enhance the architecture of the building, and are compatible with the
nearby commercial buildings in Old Town. The proposed color
scheme (lighter bases color with darker accent colors) will also
accentuate the building's architecture and give a clean look to the
facade. The proposed brick veneer features color and texture
variation that will add dimension to the building faces.
d) Type and pitch of roofs: The proposed flat roof with parapet and
extended parapet walls is typical of traditional commercial buildings in
the area and creates visual interest by breaking the monotony with a
varied roofline.
e) Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings: The
proposed building has been designed to reflect a traditional
commercial building with retail on the ground floor and offices above.
The proposed storefront and windows are regularly shaped and
spaced and reflect the uses of the interior spaces. The main
pedestrian doorway is designed to emphasize the main entry and
provide a focal point at the corner of the site. The garage openings
minimize the impact of the void by employing an arched doorway with
soldier course brick work and planting crawling vines about the
opening.
f) Landscaping, parking area design, and traffic circulation: The
proposed landscaping areas and quantities meet the requirements of
the Tustin City Code and will serve to enhance the aesthetics of the
property. The site has reconstructed driveways at both EI Camino
Real and EI Camino Way to meet current standards and allow for
access to the site from two (2) streets; this will also allow for a flow of
PC Resolution No. 4116
Design Review 08-009
June 9, 2009
Page 4
traffic through the site and help prevent aback-up situation on-site or
in the right-of-way. Traffic safety mirrors and signs will be installed at
the EI Camino Real garage entrance to increase visibility for both
vehicles exiting the site and pedestrians walking across the driveway.
g) Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing
structures in the neighborhood: The proposed structure is a stand-
alone building located at the entrance to Old Town Tustin, and its
form will serve to clearly define that entry.
h) Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures and possible future structures in the
neighborhood and public thoroughfares: The proposed structure
adapts a modern commercial building to a historic commercial district
by incorporating a variety of traditional architectural elements and
forms.
III. The project is determined to be categorically exempt from Section 15303,
Class 3 -New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, of the
California Environmental Quality Act. The Class 3 exemption includes, in
urbanized areas, up to four commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000
square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use, if not involving
significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public
services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not
environmentally sensitive.
IV. The Planning Commission hereby approves Design Review 08-009
authorizing the demolition of an existing 1,757 square foot one-story
commercial building and other site improvements, and the development of a
5,331 square foot, two-story commercial building suitable for retail and
medical/dental office uses, including associated on-site improvements,
located at 740 EI Camino Real, subject to conditions contained in Exhibit A
attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning
Commission held on the 9th day of June, 2009.
