Reco~.~endation - That the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 3490 certifying the Negative Declaration prepared for the project; 2. Adopt Resolution No. 3491 recommending that the City Council approve Zone Change 96-001; and, 3. Adopt Resolution No. 3492 approving Design Review 96-019 and Administrative Adjustment 96-001. 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 Page 3 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. Planning Commission Minutes October 28, 1996 Page 4 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.

Presentation: Daniel Fox, AICP, Senior Planner Correction by Senior Planner, Dan Fox, was made to Attachment A of the staff report under parking summary, stating that a total of 416 garage spaces are proposed and 216 carports, not garages, are proposed for a total of 632 covered spaces. The Public Hearing opened at 8:20 p.m. Planning Commission Minutes October 28, 1996 Page 6 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.

Adopt Resolution No. 3488 recommending that the City Council approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map 15316. 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.

Presentation: Gregory Gubman, Associate Planner Staff recommended that before a Certificate of Occupancy is granted for this class room facility the landscaping be installed in accordance with the Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use Permit 93-018. Landscape improvements were required with granting 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. Planning Commission Minutes October 28, 1996 Page 9 Commissioner Kozak asked if there was a way to allow the scout to continue his work. Daniel Fox stated that the Building Official has the ability to issue a temporary Certificate of Occupancy or the Condition could be modified. Lois Bobak, Deputy City Attorney, stated that if a Certificate of Occupancy is issued and the condition is not satisfied the action the Commission would have to consider is revocation of approval. The applicant would also have to understand that the final land use approvals would not be vested until the conditions are met. James J. Harley stated he understood and agreed. 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.
