Request:
Robert P. Warmington Company
Southwesterly terminus of Newport Avenue
Construction of 208 condominium units
Mr. Brotemarkle stated, this is property on the southern terminus of
Newport Avenue which some months back, was approved by the Planning
Agency and Council for a General Plan revision and rezoning from
Industrial to PD Residential. He said 208 units produces slighty over
35 units to the acre density. The project has a semi-subterranean
parking and the slab level, where the units actually start, would
consist of a greater than fifty percent (50%) open area with the area
devoted to actual unit coverage and driveway areas less than fifty
percent (50%), meeting the PD Ordinance.
Mr. Brotemarkle further stated the project would be a three-unit,
stacked complex of two basic building types, one being to the top of
the elevator shaft approximately 39' feet and the other being 41'
feet.

He said the project is more urban natured than normal for the city of
Tustin. The property seems properly suited for increased density to
try to provide housing at a price more available to a larger segment
of the buying public.
PD Residential zoning is strictly a standard restriction and there is
no density specified.
The project is consistent with the Land Use Element, and Housing
Element of our General Plan.
Public hearing was opened.
Robert H. Odle, represented Robert P. Warmington Company, Bill
Warkentin, Warkentin Architectual Group, and James B. Hogan, Hogan and
Roy Associates. All spoke in favor of the project.
Robert Odle, representing Robert P. Warmington Company spoke in
regards to housing provided to the buying public at an "affordable
cost." He said, this project includes; a total security environment,
large amounts of open space, substantial recreation facilities, and
covered parking. The three story building construction above the
subterranean garage structure allows us to spread the land cost over a
large number of residential units. When these features are combined,
the obvious result will be a quality development with a substantial
number of units available at prices within the average household
income of Tustin. The target market that we are seeking will include
over one-half of the households currently living in Tustin, so
one-half of the households would be able to afford units in this
project.
The financing for the purchasing of these units will be conventional
and we are not seeking any type of Government subsidies.
Introduced were Bill Warkentin, Principal, Warkentin Architectual
Group, and James Hogan, Hogan and Roy Associates. Their design
responsibilities include, sight planning, architectural controls,
landscape planning, and recreation features. Both gave short
presentations.
Mr. Odle again spoke about the project unit cost. Affordable price
range, and/or obtainable price range, of this project would be
approximately $75,000.00 - $110.000.00 (adjusted cost). We are
proposing to provide thirty five percent (35%) of these units within
an obtainable price range. This would be based upon eighty to
one hundred twenty percent (80% - 120%) of the afforable price range.
The hearing was closed.
Mrs. Kennedy commented that she is concerned with the density range of
the units.
Mr. Salterilli commended the presentation of the Robert P. Warmington
Company.
MOTION by Saltarelli, SECONDED by Sharp to approve with the following
additions to Resolution 1943: Roofing material shall be of a
non-flammable natL~re; notification of future owners of the possibility
of Newport Avenue being extended to Edinger; dedication of future
right-of-way for Newport Avenue extension.
AYES: Hoesterey, Sharp, Edgar, Saltarelli
