PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
1. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION OF USE DETERMINATION
10-003 APPROVING HYDROPONICS AND INDOOR GARDENING SUPPLY
STORE USE IN THE CENTRAL COMMERCIAL, HEAVY COMMERCIAL AND
COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING DISTRICTS
A request has been received to establish a hydroponics and indoor gardening
supply store at 365 EI Camino Real. The proposed hydroponics and indoor
gardening supply store is located within the Central Commercial (C-2) and
Cultural Resources Districts in Old Town Tustin. Tustin City Code (TCC)
Section 9233 related to the C-2 District does not allow for a hydroponics and
indoor gardening supply stores as permitted, conditionally permitted, or
prohibited uses. TCC Sections 9233a and 9233c related to the C-2 District allow
the Planning Commission to determine whether an unlisted use is similar to
other listed uses and should be permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited
through a Use Determination. On September 28, 2010, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 4159, approving hydroponics and indoor
gardening supply store use as a conditionally permitted use in the Central
Commercial (C-2), Heavy Commercial (C-3), and Commercial General (CG)
zoning districts. On October 7, 2010, an appeal was filed by Mayor Pro Tem
Nielsen stating that the proposed use is an industrial and manufacturing type of
use, not a retail use, and therefore is not compatible with other businesses in
the Old Town area.
