BACKGROUND The original master sign program for the Tustin Auto Center was approved in 1985 and has been periodically amended by the Planning Commission. The most recent amendment was approved by the Planning Commission on December 22, 2003, through the adoption of Resolution No. 3904. Pursuant to Section 9403i2(e) of the Tustin from the standards set forth in the Tustin Sig building square feet and upon approval of Commission. The project is well within these of 12 dealerships on approximately 50 acres. City Code, a master sign plan may deviate ~ Code if the development is at least 30,000 a conditional use permit by the Planning parameters in that the Auto Center consists Site and Surroundings The Tustin Auto Center is located along the Interstate 5 Freeway and bounded by EI Camino Real to the north, Myford Road and the Orange County Flood Control Channel to the east, and Tustin Ranch Road to the west. Perimeter walls enclose the dealership area with Auto Center Drive allowing interior access to the Auto Center off of Tustin Ranch Road and EI Camino Real. The Tustin Market Place shopping center lies to the east of the Auto Center and to the north is a smaller shopping center located across EI Camino Real. Residential uses are located to the west of the Auto Center across Tustin Ranch Road. To the south, across the 5 Freeway, is an industrial business park. PC Report CUP 2011-06 Page 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Tustin Toyota The application for the proposed amendments to the Auto Center master sign plan was filed by the Tustin Toyota dealership. The proposed amendments are largely in response to the new facility within the Auto Center that the Toyota dealership will be occupying (36 Auto Center Drive). Due to the orientation of the parcel and building located at 36 Auto Center Drive, the proposed amendments are necessary to meet the marketing and signage goals of the Tustin Toyota dealership. The prior use of the property was as an automotive museum and banquet facility (Joe's Garage) which did not have the same marketing demands of a dealership. The parcel is unique from others within the Auto Center as it has a limited street frontage with the building setback more than 370 feet. The majority of other dealerships have significantly more street frontage along with buildings and signage which are much closer to the street. The proposed amendments involve an increase in sign area, monument sign height, and in sign letter and logo heights. The proposal intends to allow the flexibility of having individual tenants determine the logo and lettering heights of their individual signs. Sign designs would need to comply with established square footages and would be subject to the City and Auto Center Association approval. The proposed amendments have been approved by the Auto Center Association (Attachment D). PC Report CUP 2011-06 Page 4 36 Auto Center Drive In addition to the amendments specifically related to sign standards, there is also a proposed amendment pertaining to administration of the master sign plan. Should ambiguity arise concerning the meaning or appropriate applications of provisions within the master sign plan or if the master sign plan does not take into consideration new technology and/or dealer corporate image requirements, the Community Development Director may approve amendments to the master sign plan. Such amendments shall be accompanied by findings to support the decision. This provision would facilitate any future signage needs of the Auto Center and ensure coordinated design without requiring a public hearing and lengthy review process. The Community Development Director would still have the authority to forward any proposals to the Planning Commission for review. Tusfin Aufo Center Masfer Sign Plan The Tustin Auto Center is a unique business development within the City which requires unique advertising and signage demands. The City Sign Code allows exceptions from standards precisely for these types of developments to allow flexibility to meet signage needs. Since its inception, the Auto Center master sign plan has allowed for signage that responds to the scale and architecture of the buildings as well as the marketing requirements of an auto center. Many of the sign types and criteria identified within the Tustin Auto Center master sign plan are unique to the center and not addressed within the City Sign Code. PC Report CUP 2011-06 Page 5 The Tustin Auto Center is a self contained facility with perimeter walls to the exterior street systems. Dealerships face inwards along Auto Center Drive and display vehicles and signage directed primarily to customers which would be located within the Auto Center as well as motorists on the freeway. Due to the orientation of the dealerships, signage is most purposeful for identification purposes to those motorists that have already come to the destination facility of the auto center rather than motorists on local streets. Proposed Amendments Si na a Existin Si n Plan Pro osed Si n Plan Buildin Mounted Si ns Max Si n Area 175 s ware feet 200 s uare feet Letter/Logo Height 24" or 36" Determined b Dealer subject to Information Si ns Cit and Association a royal Letter Hei ht 18" max 24" max Jewel Box Si ns Letter/Lo o Hei ht 24" Determined b Dealer sub~ect to Monument Signs Cit and Association ap royal Height 16 feet 20 feet The proposed modification to building walls signs would involve an allowable increase of 25 square feet to the existing maximum of 175 square feet along with a letter and logo height to be determined by the individual dealership subject to the approval of the Auto Center Association and the City of Tustin. Letter height for informational signage is proposed to increase by 6 inches. The only criteria identified for jewel box signage is related to a maximum height of 24 inches. The proposed amendments would allow jewel box sizing to be determined by the individual dealership subject to the approval of the Auto Center Association and the City of Tustin. The maximum height of monument signage is proposed to increase by 4 feet from 16 feet to 20 feet in height. All other components and development standards with the master sign plan for the Tustin Auto Center would remain in effect. FINDINGS In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed amendments to the master sign plan, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed signage will be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, 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. A decision to approve this request may be supported by the following findings: The proposed amendments to the Tustin Auto Center master sign plan comply with the review criteria for master sign plans contained within Section 94031.2 of the Tustin City Code. The Tustin Auto Center consists of twelve (12) dealerships on approximately fifty (50) acres. PC Report CUP 2011-06 Page 6 The Tustin Auto Center is a unique facility within the City which requires flexibility in sign design for marketing purposes. The proposed amendments would allow flexibility for dealerships within the Tustin Auto Center while still providing coordinated sign design which is subject to the review and approval of the Auto Center Association and the City of Tustin. !.

The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A.

B. That the proposed master sign plan is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that the property is designated as "Planned Community Commercial/Business" and allows for business uses and their supporting signs. 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 on December 22, 2003, the Planning Commission last amended the master sign plan for the Tustin Auto Center by adopting Resolution No. 3904 approving Conditional Use Permit 03-023. D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said application on April 12, 2011, by the Planning Commission. E. That the establishment of the proposed master sign plan 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, 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: The proposed amendments to the Tustin Auto Center master sign plan comply with the review criteria for master sign plans contained within Section 94031.2 of the Tustin City Code.
