OF THE MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN, ALSO REFERRED TO AS
COVENTRY COURT IN COLUMBUS SQUARE AT TUSTIN LEGACY
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 09-024 and Conditional Use
Permit 09-024, Amendment to Tract Map 16581 and Amendment to Concept
Plan 03-003 was submitted by Lennar Corporation for the development of a
240-unit senior apartment housing project for rental tenure on a nine (9) acre
site within Columbus Square within Planning Area 4 and Planning Area 5 of
the MCAS-Tustin Specific Plan (Lot 265 of Tract 16581);
B. That the site is located in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan land use designation
of the General Plan, which provides for residential development, and on
Reuse Disposition Parcels 23 and 24 in Planning Areas 4 and 5 of the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan, which is designated for low and medium density
residential;
C. That a public hearing on the matter was duly called, noticed, and held for said
application on December 8, 2009, by the Planning Commission;
D. That at the December 8, 2009, meeting, the Planning Commission continued
the project to the January 26, 2010, meeting to allow the project proponent to
meet directly with the Community Association and any interested members of
the community;
E. That on January 26, 2010, the Planning Commission held a continued public
hearing on the item and continued the item for sixty (60) days to allow staff,
the applicant, and residents to conduct further research and report back on
subjects raised at the hearing;
PC Resolution No. 4134
DR 09-024 and CUP 09-024
Page 2
F. That on March 23, 2010, the Planning Commission conducted a second
continued public hearing on the item;
G. That the site is located within Tract 16581 previously approved by City
Council Resolution No. 05-40 and Concept Plan 03-003 approved by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3951 for subdivision of 105.5 acres
within Planning Areas 4 and 5 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan for the
purpose of developing 1,075 residential units including 240 senior housing
units for ownership tenure of which 153 units are designated as affordable
units;
H. That pursuant to Condition 2.2 of Resolution No. 05-40 approving TTM
16581, a Conditional Use Permit is required to permit a reduction in the
number of on-site parking spaces from the required 2.25 spaces per unit to
1.7 spaces per unit. Conditional Use Permit 05-037 was approved in
conjunction with Design Review 05-019, authorizing a parking standard of 1.7
spaces per unit for the senior condominium development;
I. That the senior housing project was originally approved by Planning
Commission Resolution No. 4014 as Design Review 05-019 and Conditional
Use Permit 05-037 authorizing development of 240 age-restricted senior
housing units for ownership tenure and a parking ratio of 1.7 spaces per unit;
J. That pursuant to Condition 1.2 of Resolution No. 4014, permits must be
obtained and substantial construction underway within 24 months;
K. That some building permits were applied for, approved, and issued; and one
(1) of the ten (10) buildings was constructed but the developer chose not to
obtain additional permits or continue construction at Coventry Court;
L. That since development at Coventry Court was discontinued, Design Review
05-019 and Conditional Use Permit 05-037 for Coventry Court are considered
to have lapsed, but the obligation to construct senior housing and affordable
units as required in the conditions of the earlier approvals remains in effect;
M. That new applications (DR 09-024, CUP 09-024, and Amendments to TM
16581 and CP 03-003) for continued development of the project and change
in tenure type from ownership to rental are proposed;
N. That the submitted plans are consistent with the plans that were previously
approved by the Planning Commission and Community Development
Department except for tenure type which is proposed to change from
ownership to rental. Pursuant to Sections 3.4.2.A and 3.4.5.A of the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan, development in Planning Area 4 and 5 of apartments is a
discretionary action requiring approval of a conditional use permit;
PC Resolution No. 4134
DR 09-024 and CUP 09-024
Page 3
O. That the proposed project is part of Tract 16581; thus all applicable conditions
from City Council Resolution No. 05-40 for approval of Tentative Tract Map
16581 and Resolution No. 06-17 for approval of Final Tract Map 16581
remain applicable to the proposed project;
P. That the City's Traffic Engineer re-reviewed the parking demand analysis
approved under CUP 05-037 in conjunction with the proposed project for the
development of 240 senior rental apartments and determined that the difference
in parking demand between a senior condominium (for sale) and senior
apartment (for lease) project would. be negligible. Accordingly, the parking ratio
of 1.7 spaces per unit approved under CUP 05-037 remains valid and shall be
applicable to the subject project;
Q. That for Design Review 09-024, pursuant to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and
Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code, 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, in that:
The proposed senior residential condominium development as conditioned
(senior condominiums) is a permitted use in Planning Areas 4 and 5 of the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan,
2. As conditioned, the proposed senior condominium project is consistent with
the development standards and design guidelines of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan,
3. As conditioned, conformance with all other applicable development
standards, including current California building codes, will be verified by
staff during plan check review,
4. The proposed site and building improvements are substantially consistent
with plans previously approved by the Planning Commission and
Community Development Department,
5. The location, size, architectural features and general appearance of the
proposed senior condominium development are consistent with and will not
impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or
future development therein, the occupancy thereof, or the community as a
whole. In making such findings, the Commission has considered at least the
following items:
a) Height, bulk, and area of buildings.
b) Setbacks and site planning.
c) Exterior materials and colors.
PC Resolution No. 4134
DR 09-024 and CUP 09-024
Page 4
d) Type and pitch of roofs.
e) Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings.
f) Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flagpoles, radio and television
antennae.
g) Location, height, and standards of exterior illumination.
h) Landscaping, parking area design, and traffic circulation.
i) Location and appearance of equipment located outside an enclosed
structure.
j) Location and method of refuse storage.
k) Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in
the neighborhood.
I) Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures and possible future structures in the neighborhood
and public thoroughfares.
m) Proposed signage.
n) Development Guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City Council.
R. That for Conditional Use Permit 09-024 requesting approval of the subject
project as apartments/for rental tenure, pursuant to Tustin City Code Section
9291, the proposed senior apartment housing development for rental tenure
would be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of
the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, and 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. The 240-unit senior residential project was originally considered in concept
and plan as a part of the greater Villages of Columbus which were proposed
as 100% ownership units and apartments were not considered as part of the
original development plan;
2. The change from ownership to rental tenure is not a minor amendment to
the project and will result in a change in the operational characteristics and
intent of the project as previously considered and approved and will
therefore cause a detriment to the general welfare of persons residing in the
neighborhood;
3. The project as proposed will cause detriment to the property in the
neighborhood of the subject property in that the proposed project will
adversely impact the community master association and all of its members
in terms of voting rights and dues. The project, as proposed with a 2:1 ratio
of assessments and voting rights within the master community association,
will result in an unwarranted increase in monthly association dues over the
life of the project and will unduly alter the balance of voting rights within the
association by concentrating 120 voting rights into one entity (e.g., the future
owner of the 240-unit senior apartment project). Many of those individuals
PC Resolution No. 4134
DR 09-024 and CUP 09-024
Page 5
who purchased their existing individual interests in the development were
not adequately informed that association voting rights might be concentrated
in a single owner in this fashion;
4. An alternative proposal made by the applicant after the January 26, 2010,
public hearing would not annex the proposed senior apartment complex to
the community master association but would require the senior complex to
to enter into an agreement to pay the master community association
amounts equivalent to 240 assessments toward association maintenance
costs. Such a proposal would permanently and unfairly burden the senior
housing complex to fun association maintenance costs. Such a proposal
would permanently and unfairly burden the senior housing complex to fund
association maintenance costs but without representation of the senior
complex and its residents in association elections;
5. Many of the current residents in the various neighborhoods of Columbus
Square were ensured at the time of their purchase by the master developer
and/or neighborhood builders verbally and in writing that the Columbus
Square community was strictly for ownership tenure only and that no
apartments were a part of the development plan. That a change in tenure
type for 240 of the 1,075 units in Columbus Square to rentals will cause
detriment to the comfort and welfare of the persons residing in the
neighborhood of the subject property, as has been expressed by numerous
property owner/residents in writing incorporated herein to the City and during
the three public hearings held on the item;
6. The applicant's existing obligation to construct individually-owned senior
condominiums: (a) established a better and fairer balance between voting
rights and financial commitments for association costs; (b) maintains voting
rights in a manner that does not result in undue concentration of voting rights
in one entity; and (c) is in keeping with the expectations of the existing
association members regarding assessments and future voting rights.
7. The aging and elderly are identified in the Housing Element of the City's
General Plan as a growing special needs population in the City and the
Housing Element identified Coventry Court as an implementation project to
meet the City's housing projections and goals. However, the senior project
can serve to benefit the target population as originally intended through
ownership without the proposed change to rental tenure;
S. That the 240 multiple family attached senior housing units for ownership tenure
were a part of the subdivision of 105.5 acres and development of 1,075
residential units at the Columbus Square site, approved under Concept Plan
(CP) 03-003 by Planning Commission Resolution No. 3951, under Tentative
Tract Map (TTM) 16581 by City Council Resolution No. 05-40, and Final Tract
Map (FTM) 16581 by City Council Resolution No. 06-17. The project as
