MEETING.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
2. CODE AMENDMENT 10-001, PROHIBITING DRIVE-IN AND DRIVE-THRU
ESTABLISHMENTS WITHIN COMMERCIAL AREAS OF OLD TOWN
TUSTIN, AND ADOPTING ORDINANCE NO. 1378.
On December 8, 2009, the Tustin Planning Commission held a public
hearing and adopted Resolution No. 4129 recommending that the Tustin
City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1373 to: 1) reduce restaurant parking
requirements for Old Town Tustin; and 2) facilitate the establishment of
outdoor restaurant seating areas in Commercial Districts within the City,
including Old Town Tustin.
At that time, the Planning Commission also discussed a concern that drive-
thru establishments were currently listed as a conditionally permitted use
within the City's C-2 zoning regulations, and that drive-thru establishments
might not be a supportable use within C-2 zoned properties located within
Old Town Tustin. Specifically, the Planning Commission noted that drive-
thru establishments might not compatible with the historic Old Town walking
experience. The Planning Commission recommendation supporting
adoption of Ordinance 1373 included a recommendation that the City
Council eliminate drive-thru establishments as a conditionally permitted use
in Old Town.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4142, recommending
that the Tustin City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1378 amending Section
9233 of Part 3 of Chapter 2 of Article 9, prohibiting drive-in and drive-thru
establishments in Old Town.
Presentation: Dana Ogdon, Assistant Community Development Director
3. SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 10-001, MINOR TEXT AMENDMENTS.
The City of Tustin is proposing minor text amendments to the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, which will not substantially amend the Specific Plan, but will
clarify the calculation of gross and net acreage within Planning Area 1 and
would revise existing language to provide additional flexibility to allow the
submittal of a concept plan for any portion of Planning Area 1.

REGULAR BUSINESS:
4. WORKSHOP: USE DETERMINATION CODE AMENDMENT 10-002:
Code Amendment 10-002 (CA 10-002) proposes the incorporation of minor
amendments to the Zoning Code (Article 9 Chapter 2) of the Tustin City
Code (TCC). Specifically, the Code Amendment meets the following
objectives:
a. Incorporate use determinations into the Zoning Code that have been
previously determined by the Community Development Director and/or
the Planning Commission to be similar to other permitted uses or
conditionally permitted uses within various City zoning districts.
b. Provide accurate and updated information in the Zoning Code for both
staff and the public as to which uses are permitted or conditionally
permitted and the review process required for approval of such uses.
c. Integrate other minor amendments by clarifying and simplifying the
Zoning Code text including grammatical and spelling changes,
updating terminology, alphabetizing lists, and incorporating legal
updates.
