A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 10-009 AND DESIGN REVIEW 10-018 FOR
AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A 201-
UNIT ASSISTED LIVING/CONGREGATE CARE FACILITY
AGE RESTRICTED TO 62 YEARS OR OLDER AT 13841
RED HILL AVENUE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application has been submitted by WASL Tustin Investors
V, LLC to construct and operate a 201 unit age-restricted (62 years or
older) assisted living/congregate care facility at 13841 Red Hill Avenue;
B. That the General Plan Planned Community Commercial/Business land use
designation provides for a variety of commercial and business uses. In
addition, the project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality
Sub-element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to
be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element.
C. That pursuant to Sections 9232.b.24. and 9233.c.1. of the Tustin City Code,
assisted living/congregate care facilities have been determined to be similar
to rest homes which are conditionally permitted within the Central
Commercial (C-2) zoning district.
D. That on January 2, 2008, the City Council gave final approval of
entitlements for the same project which included General Plan Amendment
07-001, Zone Change 07-002, Design Review 07-012, and Conditional Use
Permit 07-011. On November 13, 2007, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. 4074 approving Design Review 07-012, and Conditional Use
Permit 07-011. General Plan Amendment 07-001 and Zone Change 07-
002 are still in effect. Entitlements for Design Review 07-012 and
Conditional Use Permit 07-011 expired on July 2, 2010 due to inactivity
E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for Conditional Use
Permit 10-009 and Design Review 10-018 on January 25, 2011, by the
Planning Commission.
F. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use
will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be injurious or
detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the
subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that:
Resolution No. 4168
Page 2
1) The proposed assisted living/congregate care facility has been
determined to be similar to a rest home which is a conditionally
permitted use pursuant to Sections 9232.b.24. and 9233.c.1. of the
Tustin City Code.
2) The location of the proposed assisted living/congregate care facility
is compatible with surrounding uses in that the use can be
considered as quasi-commercial/residential facility consistent with
the adjoining residential and commercial developments.
3) As conditioned, a covenant running with the land will be required to
limit the use as an assisted living/congregate care facility for 62
years or older subject to providing certain senior services and
limiting the number of residents who may have automobiles.
4) The proposed use is not anticipated to result in parking impacts
since the parking analysis submitted for the proposed project
concluded that there is adequate number of parking spaces and site
amenities to accommodate the project.
5) The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed project
and has concluded that there will be no adverse traffic impacts, and
there is sufficient street capacity to support the proposed project.
G. Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin Municipal Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and general
appearance of the proposed development will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, the present or future development
therein, or the occupancy as a whole. In making such findings, the
Commission has considered at least the following items:
1. Height, bulk, and area of building -The facility offers various projections
and changes in height to break up the massing of the structures. The
inner courtyard provides secure open space for the residents.
2. Setbacks and site planning -The facility is separated from adjacent
properties by a drive aisle which also serves as a fire lane. A substantial
landscaped setback is provided from Red Hill Avenue and landscaping
along the alley frontage.
3. Exterior materials and colors -Materials consist of stucco, the roofing,
glazing and accent features most similar to the Mediterranean
architectural tradition which can be found in other buildings within the
City.
4. Type and pitch of roofs - A series of hipped roof towers adorned with the
break up the flat roofing with parapet in order to create relief at the top of
the building.
Resolution No. 4168
Page 3
5. Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings -Fenestrations
within the building have pattern to them and ensure that there are not
large portions of blank wall on the building.
6. Towers, chimneys, roof structures - A series of towers are prevalent
throughout the building and serve to create vertical interest and a skyline.
7. Location, height, and standards of exterior illumination -Illumination will
be confined to the project site to avoid spillover onto adjacent properties.
8. Landscaping, parking area design, and traffic circulation - A traffic and
parking study has been prepared for the project to evaluate potential
impacts. A separate landscaping plan offers both courtyard landscaping
as well as exterior landscaping visible to the public right-of--way.
9. Location and method of refuse storage -Refuse will be stored and
accessed within the underground parking garage. Residents will use a
system of chutes to dispose of waste and recyclables.
10. Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in the
neighborhood -The project site is along a commercial corridor and will
offer a visual enhancement to the existing neighborhood.
11. Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to existing
structures and possible future structures in the neighborhood and public
~' thoroughfares -The project is similar in massing to the recently
completed cottages development around the corner on EI Camino Real.
~ 12. Development Guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City Council -
The project is consistent with guidelines and criteria as adopted by the
City Council.
H. That a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the development of a 201 unit age
restricted (62 years or older) assisted living/congregate care facility at 13841
Red Hill Avenue was certified and adopted by the Tustin City Council on
December 4, 2007, through Resolution No. 07-93. Said Mitigated Negative
Declaration evaluated the environmental impacts associated with General Plan
Amendment 07-001, Zone Change 07-002, Design Review 07-012, and
Conditional Use Permit 07-011.
That the City prepared an Environmental Analysis Checklist attached hereto
as Exhibit B, to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with
Conditional Use Permit 10-009 and Design Review 10-018. The
Environmental Analysis Checklist demonstrates that all potential impacts of
the project were addressed by the previous certified Mitigated Negative
Declaration and no additional impacts have been identified.
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit 10-009 and
Design Review 10-018 authorizing the construction and operation of a 201 unit
G age-restricted (62 years or older) assisted living/congregate care facility at 13841
Red Hill Avenue, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A, attached
hereto.
