Presentation: Sara Pashalides, Associate Planner
Staff suggested adding a new Condition 3.11 to Resolution No. 3492
to ensure that the tenant improvements made will comply with the
City's development standards.
The Public Hearing opened at 7:15 p.m.
Commissioner Bone stated that for the record he had met with
representatives of the architects office at their request on
September 4, 1996 to review the site plans.
Commissioner Kozak inquired if it were possible to achieve 20 addi-
tional parking spaces through restriping. He would like to ensure
that lighting is not installed along the property line to avoid
impacting adjacent residential uses. He asked how the trash bin
could be shared since the plan calls for landscaping along the wall
where the bin is to be placed.
Staff stated that the guidelines suggest no more than 20 percent of
parking to be compact. The applicant has indicated that to share
the trash container the wall would be terminated at the trash
enclosure. The bulk of the waste is medical and a special hauling
service would be used.
Commissioner Vandaveer expressed concern that lighting comply with
the security ordinance.
Commissioner Pontious expressed concern on assigning a prohibition
on the applicant for lighting since there are lighting fixtures on
the market which would achieve a non glare condition.
Commissioner Bone inquired if the property owners at the rear and
side had agreed to the project as long as it was one story. He
would like to see the trash enclosure moved onto the property.
Planning Commission Minutes
October 28, 1996

Staff stated that a letter had been received from the owner at the
north but perhaps the applicant could answer the question
concerning the property owners agreement to the proposed plan.
Hal Woods, Architect, representing the applicant, stated that Dr.
Belden had been a dentist in the area for 16 years and the project
was an endeavor to stay in the City. He asked for a reduction of
two parking spaces since the property is an irregular lot and Dr.
Belden's practice was such that there are never more than three
patients at one time. Concerning the property owner to the rear,
Dr. Belden met with her early in the project, she was in
concurrence with a one story building but has not been available
for further discussion on the approval. The property owner to the
north is present in the audience and is in favor of the project.
The parking lot lighting will be analyzed and the applicant will
work with staff to achieve the best results.
Niles Koines, 18022 Weston Place, President of the Foothill
Community Association, stated they have concerns about amending a
zone to accommodate one project; that it was interpreted as spot
zoning and would be setting a precedent. They could not support
this project even though it has some positive aspects. He stated
that the North Tustin Specific Plan requires driveways on Newport
Avenue to be consolidated and that the proposed zone does not have
this requirement. He stated that amending the zone would affect
other properties and does not understand why this project is not
being processed through a use permit.
Nancy Hamilton, 18681 Eunice Place, stated that her home is north
of the project and she has lived there for ten years. She stated
that there has been dust, noise and a total lack of privacy from
road and construction crews using the vacant land as a staging area
and feels she has done her part to be civic minded in putting up
with this. She is concerned with access to and from the property
and potential additional traffic. She asked that the City enforce
what has already been committed to in the Newport Warren
regulations which does not include a dental office.
Philip Bettencourt, property owner of 12581 Newport Avenue, is
anxious to see Dr. Belden succeed. He stated that they have been
in an economic straight jacket because of the development standards
applied to this property and feels this land use would be the best
use for the property. He regrets any inconvenience experienced by
the previous speaker through allowing staging area use for county
and city improvements.
Harry Kay, 18672 Eunice Place, stated his property is directly
behind this future development. He would like to be a good
neighbor but is concerned with security, future construction
projects in the area, medical waste, water damage due to runoff
because the grade has been raised and damage to his block wall
which has been knocked down several times already.
Dave Dunn, 1782 Terry Lynn Lane, Santa Aha, believes that this use
is very benign and has the amenities of a single family residence.
Mr. Dunn stated that this is an economically unfeasible project and
the neighborhood is fortunate that Dr. Belden wants to build the
building as proposed.
Dennis Hamilton, 18681 Eunice Place, stated his concerns related to
the ongoing integrity of the word of the City. He stated that the
previous property owner knew the zoning of the North Tustin
Specific Plan when he purchased the property and that following the
owners purchase the cause was championed for annexation. Following
annexation, even though the City assured him that the North Tustin
Specific Zoning would be maintained, it was changed soon
thereafter.

Commissioner Bone read a letter for the record received from David
A. Dunn in favor the project.
Doctor Belden, the applicant, stated that the traffic impacts would
be minimal. She stated she would work with the neighbors and
understood their concerns. She stated dental offices do not
generate large units of waste.
Hal Woods, stated that the lot would drain toward the street and
would actually serve to improve the situation.
Commissioner Kozak asked for an explanation of the annexation as
mentioned previously.
Daniel Fox, stated that the City annexed this property and the
property was included in the Newport Warren Specific Plan. A set
of zoning regulations was adopted as close as possible to the North
Tustin Specific Plan with minor changes. Medical use was an issue
particularly related to this garden office district. Medical uses
are identified in the specific plan and allowed under a different
land use designation; therefore, a medical use would not be
considered in the unlisted use provision. A zone change is the
most efficient way to accommodate this specific development
proposal by extending the line that would allow for medical office
one property to the north. It is immediately adjacent to a
property which is developed with a two story office building and
could accommodate medical offices. Also by changing the
designation for the property and not adding medical uses to the
garden uses, the properties to the north will still have medical
offices excluded. The original specific plan did not have a two
tiered setback. The new rear and sideyard setback requirements
will encourage single story development. This request is not spot
zoning. The zoning is still Planned Community and nothing is being
changed, only moved within the zoning designation.
Doug Anderson stated that if the site elevation has been raised and
there are impacts to the adjacent properties, this needs to be
remedied. The planned capacity for Newport Avenue is approximately
37,500 vehicles a day and currently there are 21,400 vehicles, all
well within the acceptable levels of service. As compared to
general office uses, this is more intense only by a fraction over
a general office use, with 9 anticipated trips in the A.M. peak and
13 in the P.M. peak. The left turn ability will not be impacted.
The applicant has agreed to use the existing driveway to the
property site. The possibility of red curbing to eliminate parking
adjacent to the property would be looked at when the plans are
presented for review.
Commissioner Pontious was concerned that if the trash unit was
brought onto the property, landscaping would be lost.
The Public Hearing closed at 8:15 p.m.
Commissioner Vandaveer moved, Pontious seconded, to adopt
Resolution No. 3490 certifying the Negative Declaration prepared
for the project. Motion carried 5-0.
Commissioner Vandaveer moved, Pontious seconded, to adopt
Resolution No. 3491 recommending that the City Council approve Zone
Change 96-001 as submitted. Motion carried 5-0.

and types of light fixtures shall comply with the City's Security
Ordinance and shall be located as far as practical from the rear
property line, subject to the approval of the Community Development
Department during plan check." Condition 3.9 replaced to read,

Commissioner Mitzman asked if this condominium project leaves an
opening for another apartment project to be built and asked what
the park site requirements were.
Daniel Fox stated that the East Tustin Specific Plan allows 25
percent of allowed units for apartments and this is the last
apartment project in accordance with the adopted development
agreement. The goal is to have the 5-acre park site constructed
and developed as quickly as possible. A design consultant has been
selected and the process is beginning.
Commissioner Bone inquired if staff would investigate the
agreement with the cable companies to see if the City can again be
served by only one company wherein there is service to all parts of
the City.
Daniel Fox will look into this request.
Jason Fong, Irvine Apartment Communities, was available to answer
questions.
Commissioner Bone asked if the garage doors would be roll up type
and if it were standard to have only one pool and spa for this
number of units.
Jason Fonq stated that the garage doors are roll up and for this
small number of units it was consistent with their plans for one
pool and spa.
Jane Anderson, 2473 Via Corella, President of Sevilla Home Owners
Association, stated that the apartment numbers were reduced to 316
and it was greatly appreciated. The project was conducive to
families and her association members were pleased with the project.
Rubin Rojas, a resident in the neighborhood, stated his concerns
with the park site because of traffic on the access road and that
the schools in the area are already full.
Commissioner Bone stated that if the City does not acquire the 1.4
acres, an emergency exit will be placed at that location.
Doug Anderson stated that apartment use versus the former high
school site will be generating much less traffic. Schools are
accepting students from all over the Tustin area; another school
will be opened September 1997 at Peters Canyon and Pioneer. There
will be higher traffic concerns at the main entry off of Irvine
Boulevard at Robinson; however most of the traffic will be after
school and on weekends, no problems are anticipated in this regard.
Commissioner Mitzman asked if anything was being done with vector
control during construction of the apartments.
Dave Conley, Irvine Community Builders, stated that in preparation
for the grading, an exterminator has already been to the site.
The Public Hearing closed at 8:50 p.m.

Presentation: Gregory Gubman, Associate Planner
The Public Hearing opened at 8:55 p.m.
Staff stated that an inquiry was received regarding placement of
the mailboxes and whether they could be located at the back of the
sidewalk throughout the street system.
Daniel Fox stated that there was a policy established by the
Planning Commission on the location of mailboxes. For a single
family detached product, the guidelines require one 2-mailbox
facilities located between the property lines and because of the
public landscape parkway rather than a curb adjacent sidewalk, the
Post Office will require that the mailboxes be located at back of
curb rather than back of sidewalk. Staff can work with the Post
Office but easements would be required to accommodate mailbox
facilities on private properties.
Richard Douglas, Kaufman and Broad, stated the builder was excited
to be doing its first project in Tustin Ranch. Generally they
would like to see the mailboxes in the parkway to eliminate the
granting of easements.
Commissioner Bone asked when the project would begin and what the
price range would be.
Richard Douglas, they anticipate opening models in March 1997 and
price range is low to mid $200,000.
Jane Anderson, spoke in favor of the project.

of approval of parking lot improvements at the site.
The Public Hearing opened at 9:20 p.m.
Commissioner Vandaveer asked if the utilities were undergrounded
and if the facility had bathrooms.
Staff stated the utilities would be underground and there were no
bathrooms.
James J. Harley, Ail Cities Permit Services, stated that they agree
with all the conditions and will meet them. Concerning the
planting of the 65 cypress trees as the previous landscaping
obligation, the reason they have not complied with the condition is
that they were trying to cooperate with an Eagle Scout with this
project.

Commissioner Kozak asked if there was a way to allow the scout to

Occupancy is issued and the condition is not satisfied the action
the Commission would have to consider is revocation of approval.

Harry Neale, Red Hill Lutheran Church, stated that it was his
understanding that the utilities would not be underground and that
the cypress trees could be installed by the first of the year.
Daniel Fox stated that this was not considered a temporary facility
and that it is a code requirement to have the utilities
underground.
