?C Minutes - July 14, ].969
Mr. Rex Waldo, Building Official, suggested that a Type
IV structure be approved, which would not require a time
limit and would comply with Fire Zone I.
Chairman Halus opened the public portion of the hearing
ak 7:36 P.M.
Those representing subject application and verballY speaking
were M~[ James En~barth, 1866 Southeast Alitia Lane, Santa
Ana and Mr.A1 Selkin, 7150 Fenwick Lane, Westminister.
They did not feel that this would present a fire hazard since
%he building would be free-standing and not particularly close
to the other businesses in the contiguous area. They felt
that a metal type structure would not be the most appropriate
material to use, aesthetically. He stated that the length of
time needed to utilize the temporary structure would be one and
a half (1%) to ~ V~,~rs, but no longer than that. Economically,
it was felt ti~at ti~c Froposed material for the temporary build-
ing was better suited for ibis purpose, since it could be
readily assembled and taken down and stored for a later time and
use.
There being no further discussion from the audience, Chairman
Halus declared the public portion of the hearing closed at
7:45 P.M.
Mr. Larnard - voiced concern as to what was within the Com-
mission's purview to make a decision, feeling that the type
of structure was another code or different law.
Mr. Gill stated that this area is designated Fire Zone I, which
tends to restrict the type of building. He commented that the
ordinance does provide that a similar type can be permitted,
but would limit the time for the applicant which could run into
problems if the applicant wanted this for longer than 6 months.
He stated that there was no restriction of square footage, but
the size of the building dictates the type of construction in
Fire Zone I.
The Commission discussed what stipulations and conditions
were permissable in Fire Zone I, materials to be utilized,
size of the structure, time limit, whether extensions for
the use could be applied for and the overall problems that
might occur.
-Mr. Gill felt that the Building Director could answer these
questions and would request that he attend the next meeting
if it did not present a hardship to the applicant to postpone
subject hearing to July 28, 1969.
Mr. Selkin stated that he had talked to Mr. Waldo and felt
that his main concern was to take preventive measures to make
sure that the "temporary" building did not become "permanent.~
It was moved by'M~. Mahoney, seconded by Mr. Larnard that
Application No. UP-69-302 be continued to the next regularly
scheduled meetin~ of Ju~ '28, 1969.
Motion carried 5-0. Abstained: Mr. Oster.
3. UP-69-303 - GERTRUDE HARRIS ON BEHALF OF BLANCHE WOLFE
To permit the use of two (2) existing non-conforming
structures for the sale of antiques, used furniture
and decorators items.
LocatiDn: ~ite fronts approximately 180 fe~t on the southeast
of the centerline o~ ~ne Boulevard and is ~he site of
~existing building formerly used as a packing house.
(13122 Newport Avonue.)
PC Minutes - July 14, 1969
Mr. Supinger presented the staff report sta~ing that this
property was formerly utilized as a packing house fox agri-
cultural products and that a-temporary Use Permit was issued
for period of June 20 to July .20, 1969, for sale of used
furniture. He stated that materials have been moved into the
rear building, but sales have not been conducted because a
Business License.has not been issued. Mr. Supin~er recom-
meded denial due to it becoming a fire hazard and the increase
in traffic flow.
Mr. Supinger - This property requires a Use Permit in order
~o use the buildi'ng because it is non-conforming under the terms
of the Zoning Ordinance because of the lack of'standard street
right-of-way and improvements. Also, the buildings do not com-
ply with the Building and Fire Codes and adequate parking is
not provided. This property was formerly utilized as a packing
house and several months ago it was sold to Mrs. Wolfe, who is
now proposing to rent the property to Mrs.'Harris.
Chairman Halus - In making my investigation and analysis in
this particular case before tonight's meeting, I noticed that
the use is not only in existence but the.business is in oper-
ation. In making inquiries to this 'regard, I understand that
a temporary Use Permit was issued and subsequently a business
license. I'm surprised at the temporary use permit - my analysis
of the ordinance and the information I was able to obtain is
that this body grant use permits and that the Planning Depart-
ment on approval of other City Departments may grant a permit
for one month duration for such uses as, but not limitea to,
fireworks stands and Christmas tree lots, which we all recognize
as being a temporary use. It appears to me that in this case,
though that a use permit was granted, not for a temporary use,'
but to allow a permanent use to take effect prior to a formal
hearing before this body. The reason that I'm concerned is
that I'm very much concerned with the Fire Department and the
Building Department reports and since we are charged with the
concern of health,.welfare and safety of the community, I'm not
sure that it is in the best interest of the City..to proceed in
this manner - is my interpretatio~ of the temporary use permit
appropriate? Mr. Rourke?
Mr. Rourke - Well, I hadn't heard of this situation before you
~ust mentioned it, so I don't - what you have stated generally
'is accurate, that's for sure.
Chairman Halus - But independent of any action that this body
· might take this evening, are you saying that this business can
continue to the. 20th of July? Based on actions that have al-
ready occurred. Does that mean then, that independent of any
action that this body might take this evening, that this
business can continue to the 20th. of July?
· Mr. Rourke - Yes, I would say that's true.
Chairman Halus - O.K. - I for one, am very much concerned because
I think that this particular use, the type of items, the environ-
ment, the surroundihgs, the almost impossible traffic hazard
created by ingress and egress to this property - creates a severe
hazard situation, both in terms'.of traffic and potential fire
hazard. The fact of nuisance, vandalism and any other difficul-
ties that the City would face.
Chairman Halus opened the public portion of the hearing at
8:07 P.M.
Blanche Wolfe 7080 tIollywood Blvd., owner of the Tustin 'Heights
~hopping Center, Tustin. May I make one correction, please -
'~t is not a permanent thing. I couldn't afford very well to
;~ut a building like that and have a permanent place for it. I.
lid it for one reason - children were in there, it isn't a heavy
..raffic - there's one or two and they use the entrance to the
· .'ustin Heights Shopping and I thought it would be safer this
Planning Commission Minutes - July 14, 1969
way, to have someone in there, not for'the monetary purpose
of it because that isn't anything, but she keeps the place
clean, watches the'children - we have in the back there, a
bunch of motocycles and they ride around, right into the
property and do anything that they want and at present we are
no% ready to take it down yet because there is other property
we are acquiring. I thought it would be a safer thing to have
them to c~ean the property up, keep the doors and aisles open
and it's a temporary thing - I certainly couldn'~ put someone
there permanently on that piece of property and it's only the
back building and it's greatly improved to what it was. I
think it is much less of a hazard than what it was.
As far as traffice is'concerned, you can go by there anytime
and there are cars parked there now that don't belong there
and she only has about one or two cars that drive in a day -
it is not a thriving business but people go in and out. I
just did it for more or less a protec~ion.'of somebody being
there and watching the buildings while they were empty - not
for a great big business deal.
Gertrude Harris - 4361 Salinwood Way, Irvine.- I am occupying
the building at the present time on a temporary basis and I do
feel that I can clean up the grounds and make it more presentable
and do the type of business that I want to do in that building
for as long as I can. It is the type of building that I've been
looking for, the old barn type to sell old things and it just
suits my needs and if I can just have it for a little while I'll
be satisfied to do that. If I can I will do anything I. can to
bring it into conformance.and it certainly will be more pre-
sentable. The hours will be 12:00 noon to 5:00 P.M., 6 days
a week.
John Wirth, 16746 Redwood, Fountain. Valley - I'm just speaking
as an interested person. As we talk about this building, a
couple of things came to my mind - I worked for five years for
Sunskist Packing House in Orange and I think of the other pack-
ing houses that I use to frequent, some of them local and some
of them not too local, Placentia Mutual, Villa Park, Santiago
orange grove in Orange and then right out here we have Irvine.
Those buildings, many of them still in operation are in the
dame condition substantially as %his building is right now.
Now the people that work in those buildings - you start up on
the first floor and you'd have as many as 30 packers, 30 graders
plus the foremen and those other fellows that keep the racks
full of empty cartons there so that the total number of people
nears to eighty (80) or maybe even to a hundred (100) people.
In addition to the personnel that's there you have gas and you
have petroleum lubricant, you have steam generators down there
going and water heaters, all of which are or have open flaming
somewhere and that creates fire hazards that has to be watched
at all times. The Orange.Industry in Orange County is a dying
industry and it's leaving behind, skeletons and those skeletons
are these packing houses.- Tustin is not unique, Orange has
them, Anaheim, Santa Ana- they all have the old packing .houses
and are faced with the problem that you have now - what do you
do with it? I think, in general, this business is a good busi-
ness for Tustin - it generates a lot of good participation - if
you could see the people come down there and shop, the wives
all picking out their own little.projects and I'm certain you'd
see the other business it generates - the purchasing of the
material and chicken wire, the whole hardware industry does quite
well. Thank you very much.
Richard Grniset, 109 Ermabrook Rd, San Diego County, Fallbrook,
We '~'ived--~n Tustin for many, many.years in agriculture on ad-
joining property to the packing house. Packing houses have
been basically in the same Condition for the last twenty years -
they have not done much to improve it. I haven't seen in driving ~
by there.today that anything has been improved in the last 30
days, except possibly a couple of windows. The packing house,
I feel, i~ a detriment to the' business property and to the com-
munity. I know of other communties that do stipulate when a
particu].ar property sells, even though the business is going on, ·
that upon sale of the property, 'the business is terminated and
the property is cleared and thus improved. I realize that to
clear the property is, at this particular time or any time, an
expensive proposition, but the packing house, when i't owned it
realized this and they did make investigations of cost to have
it cleared and the property brought up to re-buildable condition.
Vandalism is bad in that area - we can not keep people off of it,
no matter how much we complain - how many signs you post, the
signs are gone. You run the children off the property and as
soon as you drive out they're back. .There are problems every
where, not just in the City of Tustin but packing houses n0tori- o-
ously have been traps the minute they are closed down and per-
sonally, I feel that they should be removed as soon as pos-
sible because of this. Unless there is a good use for them in
their original condition and most buildings, I really don't
feel are good for that property. I think everyone, even the
owners and the people useing them - The man mentioned about pack-
houses being in the area for many years and that the condition
and operation and the people, etc. - he forgot to mention that
most packing houses have a fantasic amount of water running
thr9ugh them while they are in operation - they are cleaned
daily, they don't have furniture stacked around, the boxes are .
washed and also stored in an outside area. In this particular
.packing house, the boilers and steam plants were in an outside
building and piped 'in.~ this type.of thing, so I think some of
these things should be considered.. I would like to see the
building removed as soon as possible - I think it would help
Tustin, help the shopping center and all the surrounding ter-
ritory in the area. I can certainly understand the thought of
putting it into some use until they are destroyed, but I think
they should just be destroyed and not used at all.
Martha Grienke, 19622 Country Lane, North Tustin, customer of
.the business spoke in favor of subject application.
Gertrude Harris - The gentlemen that just spoke stated that
only two windows have been replaced and nothing else done -
this is true, I've done very little to the outside of the
building because this would be quite a little expense that
I didn't want to go through in case I didn't get the permit,
but I certainly intend to clean everything up and shape it
around. It's been really hard work getting this much done,
but I wlll certainly go a lot further to better the property
if I can have it for just. a little while. Thank you.
Mr. Oster - What is a little while?
Mrs. Harris - As long as I can have it but I would settle
for six months. I'd like to have it as long as I could, be-
cause it does really suit my needs. I really do think that
occupancy of the building will stop the vandalism, because
they have not bothered my building since'I started.putting
things in there and I only have screen wire so they could get
in easily, but they do continually go into the unoccupied
building in front and I think that they are lookin~ for ad-
venture in the empty building rather than for merchandise.
I think someone being there would definitely help the property.
PC Minutes - July 14, 1969
Mr. Mahoney - You are just interested in the rear building
and .not the one that is on Newport? Mrs. Harris - For now
Yes.
Mrs. Wirth - 16746'Redwood Street, Fountain Valley, stated
that tl%e~e were children in the buildings, smoking, breaking
in creating things that would cause a fire. She stated that
there was-'plenty of parking for the amount of customers that
they have and would like for the Commissioners to approved
the subject request. She stated that there would be no elec-
tricity in the building, but there would be water and there
was no vandalism at the present time.
There being no 'furthe~ comments from the audience, Chairman
Halus closed the public portion of the hearing at 8:30 P.M.
Mr. Oster - Mr. Chairman, a few questions of Mr. Supinger.
Jim, as far as the fire station goes, I know part of the
reasons for your recommendation is the ultimate drive at
Newport. Are there any plans for the. removal of the fire
station? What is the time schedule.
Mr. Gill - There are no plans by the county, at this point
and time,.for either abandoning this station in the near
future or the construction on a new station. There has been
lot of discussion between the Community of fire service and
the Chief of Administrative Officer and so forth in the City
of Tustin in this very matter but nothing has been reviewed
at this point. It looks like the station will be there for
some period of time.
Mr. Supinge~ - The intention of the staff report which has been
reviewed by the Building Department is that if the use were to
be granted for longer than 6 months or extended beyond 6 months-
that alternative 2, as listed on page 7 of the staff report,
would apply as to the conditions .as necessary to make the
structure satisfy thq Building Department. Their intention was
.that the minor improvements necessary for 6 months from that
would be as set forth in alternate 1, but if they were to go
beyond that period then there would be need for extensive im-
provements .
Mr. Oster - Have you read the staff report on this Mrs. Wolfe?
Are you prepared, if we were to grant a more than 6 month use
permit to go through what is required?
Mrs. Wolfe - I couldn't very well afford to just have someone
to sit in the back, .but I~'ve done it for one simple reason; I
have the weeds clea~ed and the place cleaned and have the aisles
cleaned and not have the.- I couldn't possibly have someone just
sitting there and the building set i~y - it's just a little
too expensive. As far as the widening of Newport, no I would
have nothiqg to do with it, because it is the rear building and
not the front building. If you are widenin~ Newport, you are
talking about the front building. It's just a temporary thing
to have someone there - we have the maintenance man on the
property, but he can't go keep checking every few minutes in
the day time. He checks in the evening once or twice but the
police drive around to help and check, but it's just that
they know that someone is there - that's all I want. As far
as a permanent thing - you can realize that it is not economically
Mr. Oster - Apparently there is no electricity in the building -~
Is there any at this time? That was a statment made by the
applicant. If we were to grant a use permit for a 6 month
period - would the applicant have .to come back in and go through
the whole screening again? -
'C Minutes 7/14/69
Mr,..14ahoney- Jim, is there a possibility,, if thi.~,.
was granted for a six month period, could the time limit
be put into the motion - in other words, it would not be
extended to a greater length` of time than six months?
Mr. Oster - We could probably state that in the the motion.
At least those men, ers in the CommissJ. on who are in favor
of it. Mr. Chairman, I am of the opinion that basically,
considering where the building is located and the fact that,
I would imagine, there will have to be an attempt to acquire
the fire station property. At this point, the use permit
should be granted.
I move that Resolution No. 1092 be adopted, 'approving Appli-
pation No. UP-69-303 for...~he followin~ reasons:
1. The Commission finds that the establishment, maintenance
and operation of the use applied for.will not, under the
circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to
the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare
of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood
or the general welfare of the City.
2. As additional grounds, the minutes and evidence introduced
at the hearing are included by reference and made a part
of the motion.
Conditions of Approval:
a. Limit use to a maximum of six (6) months.
Provision of unobstructed aisles and cross aisles,
with a minimum width of 42 inches, to provide access
to exits and any other required Fire Department
access doors.
Provision of an adequate number of fire extinguishers
in conspicuous-locations and rear exits to the satis-
faction of the Fire Department.
Removal of scrap wood, weeds, dry vegation and other
combustible waste matter from the premises.
Provision of metal containers with metal lids for the
temporary storage of combustible waste matter.
fo
That exits be installed and maintained in accordance
with'the Building Code.
There .will be no electricity connected or used within
the building.
Mrs. Ludwi~ - I'll second,
Chairman }Ialus - Thank you Mr. Oster and Mrs. Ludwig.
there any discussion of the motion?
TS
Mr. Webster - I ;just ~ant to express my feeling that as you
mentioned before the hearing was opened - I feel some concern
on the procedure that has been followed to this point and time
in this particular matter - I feel like I have been put between
the proverbial rock and a hard place. The City has more or
less told them to go ahead and then put in a position of maybe
saying "no." I viewed the operation on two different occasions,
today and last Friday - I would say, in comment to. some of the
applicants, there were quite a few people when I was there, at
least a dozen. There is some traffic, Mrs. Wolfe, there were
at least 12 or 14 cars parked outside.
Mrs. Wolfe - There's four or five cars that park there all ttie
%~me. I don't know who ~hey belong to.
PC Minutes - July 14, i9~9
Mr. Webster - Only on the condition that this use, in my
opinion and I'll make my point ~ery clear and not continue
beyond six (6) months would I vote in favor of it at this
time.
Mr. Oster - It is my intent that it be for a six (6) month
period and that there will be an understanding that we
would not grant any further extension under the present
situation.
Mr. Mahone~ - I'd like to say that I'm not in sympathy with
the use, but I do feel that we. have a moral obligation - I
mean I would have rather seen a different avenue taken to
come before us before anything was put in there - I feel that
these people have gone to an expense in moving merchandise
in there and partially cleaning up the location and I would
certainly vote for it along that line - if we hadn't, it would
be an entirely different story.
Chairman tlalus - I think it was unfortunate that the Commis-
sion was put in that position, Mr. M~honey, because we are
charged with. being concerned with the health, safety and
welfare of the community and look at apartments to the south-
west of this structure - I feel that there is a major hazard
in the particular building. Hours 12 to 5, six (6) days a
week do not indicate to me, a major detriment to vandalism.
I think our police records indicate that most of our vandalism
takes place in the night time'hours. Unfortunately I just
don't think that this is a good use in that location. I agree
with Mrs. Gre~.nke, that indeed we probably need something like
this in Tustin, but where we need it is in a place that is
safe and is not a fire hazard, that is sound - where we don't
run the risk of someone going through a Water soaked floor,
because the roof leaks or where you have over-stuffed furniture
sitting outside or.stacked up inside or someone that does not
obey a "no smoking" sign and if they happen to drop a cigarette
in the area we could have a major bonflagration in the area.
I feel that it is not a good use in this particular building
in this location, in all due respect to the fire station being
next to it. Fire stations have burned down to. I feel that
it is unfortunate in the way that this has progressed, because
it's obvious in going through the building, as I have on two
occasions, that a great deal of work has gone into it and there
is a tremendous amount of merchandise inside this door and
there is a great deal of effort that has certainly gone into
moving it. I think the applicant has gone to a great deal of
effort - I think, perhaps, in my opinion, I can not in all
clear conscience, in the best interest of the City recognize
extending this use beyond the current July 20 date.
Mr. Larnard - I will vote in favor of the motion because' of
the ~osition that the occupants have been put in, but I also
would hate to see this use continuing beyond six (6) months
and would hope that perhaps the occupants pay particular
attention to the staff recommendation before the changes were
made relative to adding ~ny new merchandise to that existing,
although ....
Chairman Halus - From the expression of the Commission that
obviously you are prone to grant this particular use for a
six (6) month period, can we then implement some control to
insure that these criteria, some criteria that Mr. Oster stated
in his motion are implemented in a most expeditious manner?
Mr~...Oste.r ~ I would assume that it must be done before JulF
Chairman Halus - Can that be a condition of the motion Mr.
Rourke?
PC Minutes - July 14, 1969
Mr. Oster - Their temporary permit expires and if they want
the use permit then...it is my understanding, Mr. Rourke that
it would be .... ill effoct, have to be accomplished .....
With ~le permission of the second, I move to amend the motion
to include that the conditions be met on or before July 20~
1969. ~rs. Ludwig, second, concurred.
Mr. Webster - One further comment since we seem to be going
towards approval. Mr. SuPinger , what is th~ status then if
we. grant this for six (6) mon~]s effective July 20, 1969 re-
garding the signing on the property that is currently there?
It consist of brown.paper.
Chairman Halus ' Mrs. Harris is indicating that that is tem-
porary but we are discussing a temporary' use which is ....
Mr. Webster - My concern.is that we have had a lot of temporary
signs in the City that have been .temporary for ~our years.
Would they need a separate application or could they do it with-
in the Sign Ordinance?
Mr. Supinger - I would just say that they would have to comply
with the Sign Ordinance because there has. been no application
for variation from that.
Chairman Halus - In the existing Sign Ordinance discusses the
temporary signs of 30 days.
Motion carried 5-1. Mr: Halus .vo'tin~ No.

2NESS
1. PARCEL MAP (PM-69-24) - DUDLEY FRANK
To divide parcel for purposes of development.
Location: Easterly side'of Newport Avenue north of the
Santa Ana Freeway.
Mr. Orville Myers, City Engineer, submitted a report, stating
that this parcel was the subject of previous Planning Commis-
sion action to approve construction of a Col. Sander's Roast
Beef take-out food facility and that submission and approval
of a parcel map to create the parcel was a condition of
approval of the facility.
Mr. M~ers, recommended that a minute order approving the
parcel map subjeot to.final approval by the City Engineer
and recordation 6f the map, be adopted.
After a brief discussion among the Commissioners, it was
moved by Mr. Larnard, seconded by Mr. Oster that a minute
order be adopted, approving the parcel map subject ~o final
approval by .the City Engineer and reco~d~tion of the ma~.
Motion carried unanimously.
2. BOUTIQUE BUS - FORMAL FINDING 69-7
Request for delegation of authority to permit administrative
approval for temporary sales establishments.
PC Minutes - July 14, 1969
Mr. S9~!)j3p~ presented thc staff rcport stating that the
City has received a request for a Business License to per-
mit the operation of the "Boutique Bus" at various business
locations. ~e bus is used for marketing mod fashions and
unusual gift items. .lle stated that the staff does not have
the au'thority under Ordinance No. 362 to grant permits for
such tcs~porary uses. The Use Permit procedure, however,
becaus~ of the time involved and the amount of different
locations which would be intended for this use, is impractica
and would preclude the operation of the business in Tustin.
He felt that the solution would be to delegate authority to
the Planning Department staff to issue permits for up to one
week duration for the operation of such mobile businesses in
Tustin and recommended that the proposed formal finding be
adopted subject to the following conditions:
1. The proposed location(s) are on private property
and zoned for con~ercial use.
2. .Adequate parking spaces will be available for
the permanent uses on the site.
Fire, Building and Health Codes are complied
with.
Issuance of a Temporary Use Permit for a maximum
period of seven (7) days by the Planning Director.
Chairman IIalus stated tha~ he was somewhat confused by the
staff's posit~on as not being able to issue this type of
a temporary permit, when at an earlier hearing, they had
done so or rather the City had taken such action.
The Commission discussed any charges or fees that may be
involved in temporary per~its, parking spaces, locations
of such a use and if they are to be studied before permitting
subject business to operate and time limitations.
Mr. Supinge_r explained that the areas in which they would be
permitted would be checked and would not be allowed if the
parking spaces were not adequate. He ~ontinued to say that
the seven (7) day stipulation would be allowed only for one
location and after that period of time, they would have to
relocate
Mr. Oster stated that he would be in favor of limiting this
type of finding for a one (1) year period and reviewing this
