SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NO. 09-65 -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 09-023
SUMMARY:
On November 17, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 09-65, approving
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 09-023 to authorize the sale of beer and wine for on-site
consumption (ABC License Type 41) in conjunction with an existing restaurant (dba
Traditions) located at 14131 Red Hill Avenue (Exhibit A -Location Map). Condition 1.4 of
City Council Resolution No. 09-65 requires that the property owner and applicant sign an
Agreement to Conditions Imposed form. In a letter dated December 8, 2009 (Exhibit B), the
long-term ground lease holder requested that Condition 1.4 of City Council Resolution 09-
65 be modified to eliminate the requirement for the property owner to sign the Agreement
and instead require the long-term ground lease holder, the long-term building lease holder,
and the business owner to sign the Agreement. Subsequently, on December 22, 2009, the
long-term ground lease holder for the land filed an application to amend Condition 1.4 of
City Council Resolution No. 09-65.

2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the request for an amendment to
conditions of approval of City Council Resolution No. 09-65.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The application for an amendment to conditions of approval of a conditional use permit is an
applicant-initiated project. The applicant has paid applicable fees for processing this project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of Title
14, Chapter 3 of the Califomia Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On November 17, 2009, the City Council approved City Council Resolution No. 09-65,
approving Conditional Use Permit 09-023, authorizing the on-site sales of beer and wine
(ABC License Type 41) at an existing restaurant (Traditions). Condition 1.4 of City Council
Resolution states:
Approval of Conditional Use Permit 09-023 is contingent upon the applicant and
property owner signing and returning to the Community Development Department a
notarized "Agreement to Conditions Imposed" form and the property owner signing
and recording with the County Clerk-Recorder a notarized "Notice of Discretionary
Permit Approval and Conditions of Approval" form. The forms shall be established by
the Director of Community Development, and evidence of recordation shall be
provided to the Community Development Department.
After the original project was approved, the applicants were unable to obtain a signature
from the property owner, stating that the property owner (Huber G. Wilson) is deceased and
the executors of the trust (Huber G. Wilson Trust) are not willing to sign the Agreement to
Conditions Imposed form. Therefore, the long-term ground lease holder has filed an
application to request that Condition 1.4 be modified to require only the long-term ground
lease holder, the long-term building lease holder, and the business owner be required to
sign the forms.
ANALYSIS:
The project site has had a long history of issues associated with the service of alcohol.
Therefore, Staff would recommend approval of this amendment if additional conditions are
added. Typically, conditional use permits run with the land, which is why the property
owner's signature is required. As the requested amendment would require only the long-
term lease holder's signatures, Staff would recommend Condition 1.10 be added stating
that the approval of the CUP shall remain valid for the term of the lease hold interest, which
expires June 30, 2024. In addition, Staff recommends the addition of Proposed Conditions
City Council Report
February 2, 2010
Amendment to Conditions of Approval of City Council Resolution No. 10-18
Page 3 of 4
1.11 and 1.12, requiring a new Agreement to Conditions Imposed form be executed should
a new restaurant open or the lease be transferred to another party. The City Attorney has
reviewed this request and determined that the request would be allowable as long as the
entitlement is conditioned to run with the lease hold interest instead of with the land.
The approval of proposed City Council Resolution No. 10-18 would repeal Resolution 09-
65, the original approval of CUP 09-023. All conditions of Resolution 09-65 are included in
their original form in Resolution 10-18, with the exception of the amendment to Condition
1.4 and the addition of Condition 1.10, 1.11, and 1.12.
In making a decision on this application for an amendment, the City Council could take one
of the following alternatives:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 10-18, repealing Resolution No. 09-65 and approving
Conditional Use Permit 09-023, subject to the amended conditions of approval; or,
2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the request for an amendment to
conditions of approval of City Council Resolution No. 09-65.
If the City Council decides to approve the amendment, the request may be supported by the
following findings:
1. Tustin City Code Section 9232b(p) allows the sale of on-site beer and wine within
the Retail Commercial (C-1) zoning district with the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit.
2. 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.
3. The 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. Any cocktail lounge or bar area shall function as a food and beverage
service bar.
4. 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.
5. The restaurant is located within a retail center and a commercial corridor along
Red Hill Avenue where a variety of retail, office, and restaurant uses are located.
The proposed hours of operation are from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m., seven days a week. The characteristics of the restaurant use and
hours of operation of the restaurant would be similar to other restaurants in the
center and in the vicinity.

Page 4 of 4
6. There is no increase in square footage proposed; therefore no additional parking
spaces need to be provided.
7. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no immediate
concerns.
8. That due to the long-term nature of the ground lease and the fact that the applicant
(the long-term ground lease holder, Pedkam) is the responsible party for the day-to-
day operation at the shopping center, the applicant has requested that only the long-
term ground lease holder, the long-term building lease holder, and the business
owner be required to sign the Agreement to Conditions Imposed forms.
9. The requested amendment is minor in nature and would not significantly alter the
intent of the original approval.
10. As conditioned, the Conditional Use Permit would run with the long-term leases on
the land and the building.

Subject: Request for Modification
Conditional Use Permit 09-023
Traditions Restaurant 14131 Red Hill Avenue
Dear Mayor Amante and Members of the City Council:
DEC 10 2009
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPT
My name is Armand Pedicini and I am a general partner of Pedkam, who is the long-term ground
lessee of the approximately 5-acre retail center at the southwest corner of Red Hill Avenue and
Nisson Road in which the referenced restaurant is located. Our ground lease was acquired in
1968 and has a 55-year term that extends through June 30, 2024.
On November 17; 2009, the City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 09-65, which
approved Conditional Use Permit 09-023 to allow for the on-site sale of beer and wine at the
existing restaurant. Pedkam very much appreciates the City Council's favorable action on the
application and believes that the numerous conditions imposed by the City Council are
reasonable, save one for which I am now writing to request a minor modification and your
direction as to the appropriate City procedure to submit and process our request. While I hope
this could be accomplished administratively, Iwould understand if the matter would need to be
returned to the City Council for approval.
Our concern relates to the first sentence of Condition 1.4, which states: "Approval of
Conditional Use Permit 09-023 is contingent upon the applicant and property owner signing and
returning to the Community Development Department a notarized `Agreement to Conditions
Imposed' form and the property owner signing and recording with the County Clerk-Recorder a
notarized `Notice of Discretionary Permit Approval and Conditions of Approval' form."
At the onset, I understand there may be some confusion regarding the identity and relationship of
the several parties having an interest in the subject property. The current fee owner and lessor is
the Huber Wilson Trust. Thomas Wilson and Marilyn Crandon are the co-trustees. The 1968
ground lease was granted by Huber and Louise Wilson to Zachary Pedicini, my brother. Zachary
later assigned the leasehold interest to Pedkam, which is a California general partnership. The
site on which the restaurant site in question is situated was subleased by Pedkam in 1970 to
R.A.R. Steak House, lne. fora 50-year term expiring in 2020. The restaurant was built and
operated as Chuck's Steak House. In 1998, this sublease was assigned to Old Town, Inc. (a
California corporation whose president and sole shareholder is Larry Smith), who also purchased
the subject building. Pedkam later extended the term of the sublease assigned to Old Town, Inc.
to June 30, 2024, which coincides with the expiration date of Pedkam's ground lease.
Manojkumar Nilkanth, the applicant for Conditional Use Permit 09-023, is the operator of
Traditions Restaurant pursuant to an agreement with Old Town, Inc. I hope this clarifies the
respective property interests for you.
The satisfaction of the first sentence of Condition 1.4 to Conditional Use Permit 09-023 is
somewhat problematic because of its reference to the property owner. Pedkam respectfully
requests that the condition be revised so that the "Agreement to Conditions Imposed" form
would be signed by the applicant (Mr. Nilkanth), the sublessee and building owner (Old Town,
Inc.) and the ground lessee (Pedkam), and that the "Notice of Discretionary Permit Approval and
Conditions of Approval" form would be signed by the ground lessee (Pedkam). Due to the long-
term nature of the ground lease and the fact that Pedkam has had, and will continue to have far
many years to come, the day-to-day responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the retail
center, the property owner has a diminished incentive and interest in the conditions that have
been imposed on the conditional use permit.
t would appreciate the opportunity for representatives of Pedkam to meet with members of the
City Council and/or the City Manager, the Director of Community Development or other staff
members to discuss our request if there are any questions and, in any event, to discuss generally
the business activities at the retail center and our commitment to accountability and ensuring that
our current and future operations are fully responsive to and consistent with the City's
expectations.
In closing, thank you for your attention to and cansideration of this letter and our request. I look
forward to hearing the City's suggestion for how our request should be pursued and to making
arrangements for a meeting.
Sincerely,
~--~""

J. 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:

wine within the Retail Commercial (C-1) zoning district with the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

consistent with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines
as amended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City
Council on May 21, 2001.
3. The 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. Any cocktail lounge or bar area
shall function as a food and beverage service bar.

separation requirements to residential uses, sensitive uses and other
alcoholic beverage sales establishments.

11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days a
Resolution No. 10-18
Page 3
week. The characteristics of the restaurant use and hours of operation
of the restaurant would be similar to other restaurants in the center and
in the vicinity.
6. There is no increase in square footage proposed; therefore no
additional parking spaces need to be provided.
7. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns.
8. That due to the long-term nature of the ground lease and the fact that
the applicant (the long-term ground lease holder, Pedkam) is the
responsible party for the day-to-day operation at the shopping center,
the applicant has requested that only the long-term ground lease
holder, the long-term building lease holder, and the business owner be
required to sign the Agreement to Conditions Imposed forms.
9. The requested amendment is minor in nature and would not
significantly alter the intent of the original approval.
10. As conditioned, the Conditional Use Permit would run with the long-
term leases on the land and the building.
K. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 of
the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California

Use Permit 09-023 authorizing on-site alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with
an existing restaurant (Traditions) located at 14131 Red Hill Avenue, subject to the
