On November 23, 1987, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2456
approving Use Permit 87-26, authorizing the sale of alcoholic beverages (beer and wine)
for on-site consumption in association with a restaurant use at 450 E. First Street, Suite D.
Condition 2 of Resolution No. 2456 limits the restaurant seating to fifteen (15) seats and
Condition 4 specifies the business hours to be Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
and on Saturday and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The proposed project is a request for approval to changes in the restaurant that include
expanding the restaurant to occupy Suites A through D, increasing the number of
restaurant seating, converting a portion of the commercial building into an outdoor dining
area, and modifying the business hours.
Site and Surrounding Properties
The site is located at the southwest corner of First Street and Centennial Way (Attachment
A -Location Map), developed with cone-story, 4,200 square-foot commercial building.
The applicant is currently leasing the entire commercial building, Suites A through D.
However, the existing Jalapenos Restaurant currently occupies Suites C and D, and
Suites A and B are vacant.
The project site is neighbored by First Street to the north, the Tustin Inn bar to the west,
Centennial Way to the east, and an office building to the south (see Figure 1).

DISCUSSION
Projecf Summary
The applicant is proposing to amend conditions of approval to the existing Conditional Use
Permit for Alcoholic Beverage Sales (UP 87-26) by expanding the restaurant to occupy the
entire commercial building (Suites A through D), converting a 490 square-foot portion of
existing vacant tenant space into an outdoor dining area, increasing the approved number
of seats tv sixty-six (66) seats, and modifying the business hours.
Although the original request was to amend existing UP 87-26, it will be considered moot
since the uses and restrictions originally identified under that conditional use permit are
addressed and updated in CUP 09-025. Planning Commission adoption of the draft
resolution repeals UP 87-26 and approves CUP 09-025 in order to simplify the conditional
use permit records for the restaurant.
Restaurant Expansion
The existing restaurant currently occupies the west half of the building, Suites C and D,
shown as red in Figure 2 below. The proposed expansion area involves the currently
vacant Suites A and B, shown as green in Figure 2.
The submitted plan shows the proposed expansion including the kitchen and dining area,
additional restrooms, storage space, and converting the northeast corner of the building
into an outdoor dining area, outlined in black in Figure 2. The proposed indoor dining area
is approximately 970 square feet and the proposed outdoor dining area is approximately
490 square feet. The remaining 2,740 square feet of tenant space include the kitchen,
restrooms, storage, and office areas.

Oufdoor Seating Use
The applicant is proposing to convert approximately 490 square feet of existing, vacant,
indoor tenant space into a covered outdoor seating and dining area with eighteen (18)
seats. The outdoar seating area is located within the existing building footprint and has
been designed to meet the current outdoor seating standards and guidelines. The outdoor
seating area is a minimum five (5) feet from the property line and parking area. It is
architecturally compatible and physically related with the building in that it is located under
the existing roof and within existing wall configurations. The proposed changes involve
removing existing storefront and replacing them with wrought iron railing to delineate the
seating and dining area, installing a fountain, and applying exterior finishes such as
stucco.
The current outdoor seating guidelines outline that uses such as public schools,
residential neighborhoods, churches, hospitals, and arcades should be considered
when outdoor seating is proposed. The guidelines identify that outdoor seating areas
within 600 feet of a public school should consider and mitigate for potential impacts to
school children; the nearest public school is approximately 1,100 feet from the project
site. The nearesfi residential use is approximately 200 feet from the outdoor seating
area, which meets the minimum 200-foot distance requirement between outdoor seating
and residential uses. The nearest church use is on Main Street at the Pacific Street
intersection, approximately 3,200 feet from the project site. Tustin Lanes bowling alley,
which has an arcade, is located on Irvine Blvd. over 3,000 feet from the project site.
The restaurant use is a casual dining establishment, and no arcade or live
entertainment uses are proposed with this project.
Parking and Increased Seating
The parking requirements for restaurant use within the First Street Specific Plan area is
one (1) parking space for every three (3) seats, which includes outdoor seating. The
project site has twenty-two (22) existing parking spaces; therefore, the maximum number
seating allowed for the proposed restaurant expansion is sixty-six (66) seats.
Current outdoor seating standards require that outdoor seats must be included in the
calculation for determining parking and the maximum number of seats. However, a new
ordinance, Ordinance 1373, regarding outdoor seating is expected to be effective in
February 2010. This new ordinance may allow for additional outdoor seating without being
required to provide additional parking spaces. If the applicant wishes to take advantage of
this potential benefit, they would need to submit a request through a Design Review
process as required by the new code process.

.Hours of Operation
Condition 4, from the original conditional use permit, specifies the business hours to be
Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m.
The proposed modification to the hours of operation are Monday tv Saturday 9:00 a.m. to
9:00 p.m., and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., which is compatible with other businesses
in the surrounding area. Condition 2.3 would permit the hours of operation to be modified
in the future with prior approval by the Community Development Director.
ANALYSIS
A decision to approve this request may be supported by the findings that the
establishment, maintenance, and the sales of beer and wine for on-site consumption in
conjunction with a bona fide restaurant and new outdoor seating will not be detrimental to
the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in
the neighborhood, nor be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the
neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin, in that:
1. First Street Specific Plan Section III.D.1.a.2.f) conditionally permits restaurant use,
with or without the sale of alcohol, within properties designated with Commercial as
Primary Use.
2. Pursuant to Tustin City Code Section 9232b(p), bona fide restaurants with on-site
alcoholic beverage sales are exempt from distance separation requirements to
residential uses, sensitive uses, and other alcoholic beverage sales establishments.
3. As conditioned, the proposed on-site consumption of beer and wine is consistent
with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines as amended by the
Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council on May 21, 2001.
4. The existing and proposed on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages would be in
conjunction with a restaurant use where food will be served at all times when
alcoholic beverages are served.
5. The location of the outdoor seating area meets the distance separation from
certain uses identified in the current outdoor seating guidelines.
6. The structural elements for the outdoor seating area are compatible with the
proposed overall design of the building.
7. The outdoor seating area is included in the parking analysis for the restaurant
use, which can be accommodated by the existing parking.
8. As conditioned, the restaurant expansion and additional seating can be
accommodated by the existing on-site parking spaces.

9. The restaurant is located within a commercial building and a commercial corridor
along First Street where a variety of retail, office, and restaurant uses are located.
The proposed hours of operation are from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Monday to
Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. The characteristics of the
restaurant use and hours of operation of the restaurant would be similar to other
restaurants in the vicinity.
10. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no immediate
concerns.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 4140
RESOLUTION NO. 4140
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF TUSTIN REPEALING USE PERMIT 87-26
AND APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 09-025
TO ALLOW THE EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING

26, by allowing a restaurant expansion to occupy Suites A through D,
increasing the number of restaurant seating, modifying the business hours,
and converting a portion of the commercial building into outdoor seating and
dining area. The conditions of approval in Use Permit 87-26 are addressed
and updated in Conditional Use Permit 09-025 and therefore Use Permit 87-
26 is considered moot.
B. The site is designated as Planned Community Commercial/Business by the
City General Plan and is zoned First Street Specific Plan (SP-10) with
Commercial as Primary Use, which provides for a variety of commercial,
and retail uses. Pursuant to Section III.D.1.a.2.f) of the First Street Specific

allowed with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The project is
consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin General
Plan.
C. The existing restaurant use is located in a commercial building and
commercial corridor where a variety of retail and restaurant uses are
located. The characteristics of the proposed use and hours of operation
would be similar to other restaurants in the vicinity.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for Conditional Use
Permit 09-025 on January 26, 2010, by the Planning Commission.
E. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use
will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the 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 and improvements in the neighborhood of the
subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that:
Resolution No. 4140

on-site alcoholic beverage sales are exempt from distance separation
requirements to residential uses, sensitive uses, and other alcoholic
beverage sales establishments.
3. As conditioned, the proposed on-site consumption of beer and wine is
consistent with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines as
amended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council on
May 21, 2001.
4. The existing and proposed on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages
would be in conjunction with a restaurant use where food will be served at
all times when alcoholic beverages are served.
5. The location of the outdoor seating area meets the distance separation
from certain uses identified in the current outdoor seating guidelines.
6. The structural elements for the outdoor seating area are compatible with
the proposed overall design of the building.
7. The outdoor seating area is included in the parking analysis for the
restaurant use, which can be accommodated by the existing parking.
8. As conditioned, the restaurant expansion and additional seating can be
accommodated by the existing on-site parking spaces.

corridor along First Street where a variety of retail, office, and restaurant
uses are located. The proposed hours of operation are from 9:00 a.m. to
9:00 p.m. on Monday to Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday.

restaurant would be similar to other restaurants in the vicinity.
10. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns.
F. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Glass 1 of
the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act).
