Adoption of Resolution No. 1332 for United California Bank Mr. Flea~le stated that after the public hearing on this item on March 26, 1973, it was recommended that Staff prepare a resolution incorporat- ing the findings of the Commission, which has been done in the subject resolution.

Foster Art Services building addition Location: ,130' W. 6tll Street , PC Minutes 4/9/73 Page two 'Mr. Fleaqle advised the Commission that the-applicant had been re- quested to submit new plans. He stated that he had plans dating back to 1968, at which time buildings were constructed without benefit of landscaping and parking requirements which are now imposed. As there was only one set of present plans, Mr. Fleagle presented this to the Commission for their review. He stated that the future expan- sion of the northeast corner should not be part of the consideration at this time; however, the addition to the present building is con- sistent with the original plans of design and should be subject to conformance with the style of the existing building. Chairman SharE stated that he would like to see how the overall plan, · nclud~ng the building on the northeast corner, would look together with this proposed addition. Also, how it would fit the design stand- ards, landscaping and parking with the Council adopted policies. He thought it might be best to continue this item to allow applicant to prepare a new site plan according to the new development standards. The consensus of the Commissioners was that a plan should be presented which would conform to the new development standards approved by the City Council. Commissioner McHarris moved for a continuance, until plans are in con- formance with Development Policies of the City Council; seconded by Commissioner Larnard. MOTION CARRIED: 4-0 NEW BUSINESS 1. PM-73-62 - Patscheck/Veiga Location: Irvine Boulevard and Prospect Avenue Mr. Flea~le summarized the City Engineer's report, advising that the purpose of this parcel map is to divide Parcel No. 4 into three parcels for the sale and development of the property. The City Engineer has recommended several conditions if this map is approved. Commissioner Larnard moved for approval of PM-73-62, by adoption of Resolution No. 1333; seconded by Commissioner Hare. MOTION CARRIED: 4-0 ~. P~M-73-63 - Warren TenEyck Location: 17th Street In summarizing the Engineer's staff report, Mr. Fleagle advised of several recommended conditions for approval of the parcel map. Warren TenEyck, the applicant, stated that he has talked several times With Dale Wick, Assistant City Engineer, as respects one of the condi- tions; the condition being: "Prior to approval of this map, submit cash bond to the City of Tustin in the amount of 50% of the estimated cost of 621.72 lineal feet of drainage facilities in 17th Street, adjacent to Parcel No. 1, as said drainage facilities are called for in the E1 Modena-Irvine Area Master Plan of Drainage." Mr. TenE¥ck does not concur with this condition, feeling that it has notn~ng to ao with t~ls property. Mr. Fleagle stated that he felt this item should be worked out between the City Engineer and the applicant, prior to any action. Cha.~.rman Sharp. felt that an overall plan of all the properties together should be prepared to show where the drainage goes. PC Minutes 4/9/73 Page three ~ommissioner Larnard moved for continuance of this item to the April 23, 1973 meeting, to allow applicant and City Enqineer time to resolve this problem; seconded by Commissioner Hare. MOTION CARRIED: 4-0 3. General Plan Amendment Mr. Fleagle advised the Commission that pursuant to Section 65356 of the Government Code, it is necessary that the Planning Commission re- port back to the City Council on those changes and amendments made to the General Plan by the City Council. At the Council's April 2, 1973 meeting, the following amendments were made: The area on the east side of Newport Avenue, northerly of LaColina is to remain in the single-family classi- fication as was contained on Land Use Element of the 1966 General Plan. The property bounded by Main, Laguna, and E1 Camino Real is to remain in the classification of Commercial, without the PC designation. The Nisson property, located on the northeasterly intersection of Red Hill and Walnut, is to revert to the single-family classification. .. The area east of Jamboree, and south of the Santa Ana Freeway, is designated as Industrial with Commercial potential serving the Industrial area. As respects item ~3, Mr. Fleagle felt that in lieu of the single-fami~'- classification, this property could revert to PC-Pr to allow for per- haps~ = medical comp!ax. Matt Nisson, owner of the property in question, felt that this was a good suggestion, because he did not think that this location was good for single-family residences, and that PC-Pr would be much more suitab~. Commissioner Larnard moved to concur with the amendments made by the City Council, with the suggestion that in lieu of single-f~mily classi- fication, the property located on the northeasterly corner of Walnut and Red Hill be designated as PC(Pr); seconded by Commissioner Hare. Mr._ Fleagle further suggested, that the property on the north side of ~7~h Street, Vandenberg's property, remain as single-family with the potential of professional frontage. Mr. Vandenberg, 12531 Del Rey, Santa Ana, owner of this property, state~ that he would like to have the property remain as R-1 zoning, and not have the Professional in the front. He does not want anything to change, because if the Professional is in the front, he is landlocked on the R-1 property in the back. Chairman Sharp stated that he thought in the Professional classification you could put single-family residences, and was advised by Mr. Fleagl- that this was so. Therefore, he could not see where there would be a problem. After much discussion, Mr. Vandenberg informed the Commission that al- though he desires the property kept as is (R-l), he desires to develop the property in multi-family use. MOTION CARRIED: 4-0 -3- PC Minutes 4/9/73 Page four CORRESPONDENCE 1. Orange County Use Permit 3406 Location: South side of 17th Street, east of Windsor Place · Mr. Fleagle advised that applicant wishes to establish a preschool, ~or a maximum enrollment of 49 children, ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 6 years. The Zoning classification is 100 E4 "Small Estates". He informe~ the Commission that our zoning prohibits this use in the R-1 or E-4 Districts. Therefore, it would be an inappropriate use for this reason, and also, due to it being located on a major arterial, there would be both traffic and safety hazards. Commissioner Larnard moved for a letter to be sent to the Orange County Planning Department expressing the Commission's concerns, and recommend- ing denial; seconded by Commissioner McHarris. MOTION CARRIED: 4-0 2. Orange County Growth Policy Mr. Fleagle informed the Commission that they should make findings on ~his item to the Board of Supervisors prior to July 1, 1973. Chairman Sharp questioned as to whether this report was a guideline for them, or just what kind of reaction they should make. Commissioner .Larnard moved to continue this item until such time as the Staff has prepared recommendations; seconded by Commissioner Hare. MOTION CARRIED: 4-0 3. Letter From Project 21 - Open Space Action Group ~r. ~lea~le advised the Commission that there would be a meeting on April 24, at 7:30 p.m., regarding local parks, at the UCI Campus. Any interested members wishing to attend were to contact Staff. 4. Mr. F!eagle also asked any members if they wished to attend the Plan~ng--Directors meeting Friday, April 13 at noon. STAFF CONCERNS - none COMMISSION CONCERNS Commissioner Hare inquired as to whether the Audience Participation item of the agenda could be placed earlier in the meeting so that the members of the public would not have to wait so long to be heard. 'The consensus was that this was a good idea, and there were several sug- gestions: put this item before New Business, after the public hearings; make it the last item under New Business. It was suggested that Staff check with other Commissions to see what their policy was. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Bruce Snvder, Chamber of Commerce, requested an explanation as to the procedure involved when an item is continued; and Mr. Fleagle explained the procedures of notification. -4- PC Minutes 4/9/73 Page five ADJOURNMENT ............
