4. THREE-FOOT LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT
On May 4, 2010, the City Council considered a staff report on the history of
Ordinance No. 1240. At that time, the Council considered the report and
heard public input from several residents who spoke in opposition to the
requirements of Ordinance No. 1240 and then asked staff to defer
enforcement on those residents currently subject to the complaint unless in
egregious violation of the ordinance. Staff was directed to present the issue
to the Planning Commission for consideration of the matter and to provide
options for Council consideration.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission consider the matter and provide a
recommendation to City Council.
Presentation: Amy Thomas, Senior Planner
5. SYNTHETIC TURF
The use of synthetic turf has become more common as the costs associated
with water usage and landscape maintenance have increased. In areas
prone to drought such as Southern California, the use of synthetic turf has
been promoted by water agencies, manufacturers and retailers. As a result,
the City has received an increasing number of inquiries and requests from the
public regarding the use of synthetic turf on private property.
The purpose of this report and the January 11, 2011, workshop is to provide
the Planning Commission with an overview of synthetic turf, including its
advantages and disadvantages, the applicability of the Tustin City Code to
synthetic turf, sample standards for synthetic turf, and issues related to
synthetic turf; and to obtain input and recommended actions from the
Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission consider the matter and
provide input and a recommendation to the City Council regarding synthetic
turf. Options available to the Commission may include: 1) taking no action; 2)
allowing synthetic turf, but with standards, 3) allowing synthetic turf without
standards, 4) regulating synthetic turf; and 5) recommending an amendment
to the Tustin City Code to specifically prohibit synthetic turf in Tustin.
