Senior Planner Alan Warren presented staff's report and recommendations.
Commissioner Ainslie questioned if a precedent would be set by limiting the
use of this type of building to five years. Mr. Warren replied it was
common to limit the length of use to 1-3 years. This allowed time to plan
for a more permanent, architectural compatible addition.
Chairman Sharp expressed concern that one of the corridors was more than
30' in length yet allowed only one entrance/exit point. He felt Uniform
Building Code regulations would require another exit. Ms. Chamberlain read
from a letter from the Orange County Fire Marshal's office stating they had
no comments on the project.
Commissioner Puckett asked if the modular unit was lower than the present
building. Mr. Warren replied it was. Commissioner Puckett asked if the
applicant had considered adding a second story to the present building.
Mr. Warren deferred to the applicant.
Chairman Sharp opened the public hearing at 7:54 p.m. The following person
spoke in favor:
Mr. Michael Servais, Executive Director, Tustin Community Hospital,
stated the modular unit was lower than the building and the present
land lease prohibited permanent additions to the facility unless the
land was purchased. Responding to Commissioner Ainslie, Mr. Servais
stated that the five-year limitation for use of the modular structure
would not pose a hardship. Responding to Commissioner White, Mr.
Servais stated that a total of 376 parking spaces were presently
provided; 275 on the hospital property and 101 at the adjoining medical
complex.
Chairman Sharp closed the public hearing a 8:00 p.m.
It was moved by Well, seconded by Ainslie, approval of Use Permit 83-29
with the conditions of approval as contained in Exhibit "A" of staff's
