jurisdiction of the City Council. If the item you wish to speak on is a public hearing item,
you may wish to wait until the Council considers that item.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
A public hearing provides individuals the opportunity to be
heard regarding an intended action of the City Council
related to land use or fees. (Agenda Items 1-3)
1. SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND (SLESF)
In 1996, AB 3229 established the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS)
grant program. Proceeds from the program can only be used for front line law
enforcement services that may include the purchase of new equipment, hiring of
additional personnel and increasing the opportunity for training of safety
personnel. For FY 2011-12, we have been notified that the Police Department is
estimated to receive $100,000 in SLESF funding. The allocation for
SLESF/COPS grant funds for all law enforcement agencies is being coordinated
through the Orange County Sheriff's Department. All agencies have been
directed to move forward with expenditure authorization while waiting for the
final grant amounts to be determined.
The Police Department is proposing that this year's allocation be used to staff
the Crime Analyst position for a sixth consecutive year. Money remaining after
funding this position, if any, will be applied to crime analysis software licensing
and upgrades. This bill requires both a public hearing and a special fund
established for these monies.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Open and close a Public Hearing;
2. Authorize usage of the funds as recommended by the Police Department;
3. Authorize the Chief of Police to sign all documents related to SLESF
program.
2. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 11-51 ORDERING THE VACATION OF A
PORTION OF THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO EL CAMINO REAL BETWEEN

property adjacent to EI Camino Real and a portion of a street easement
between Red Hill Avenue and Newport Avenue that are no longer needed for
public roadway or utility purposes. The adjacent commercial property owners at
1450 EI Camino Real have requested the opportunity to purchase the property
from the City to expand their existing parking lot. This item was continued by the
City Council from August 2, 2011.
Recommendation: That the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt
Resolution No. 11-51 ordering the vacation of a portion of real property adjacent

September 6, 2011 meeting.
Recommendation: That this item be continued to the September 20, 2011

18. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1398
Adopted in 2001, Ordinance No. 1240 required a 3-foot landscape buffer
between adjacent properties to prohibit driveway or parking areas from
extending uninterrupted from property to property. However, Ordinance No.
City Council/Redevelopment Agency September 6, 2011
Meeting Agenda Page 11 of 13
1240 mandated the 3-foot landscaped area in front yards at the side property
line regardless of the size of the paving, the configuration of the lot or the fact
that hundreds of properties in the City previously contained concrete paving in
violation of the requirement. Staff began enforcing Ordinance No. 1240 on a
complaint basis following the end of a three year sunset period.
On May 4, 2010, in response to citizen concerns, the Tustin City Council
directed the Planning Commission to consider and provide a recommendation
on possible revisions to the Tustin City Code pertaining to the three-foot wide
landscaped area requirement. On May 24, 2011, the Planning Commission
adopted Resolution No. 4173 recommending that the three-foot requirement be
preserved, but that additional flexibility be provided to the Community
Development Director to approve a variety of landscape and hardscape features
to satisfy the required three-foot buffer.
On July 5, 2011, the City Council considered the Planning Commission's
recommendations for proposed Ordinance No. 1398. Following discussion, it
was concluded that other Tustin City Code provisions, currently limiting
pavement to 50 percent of the front yard, were sufficient to preserve an
attractive streetscape in residential neighborhoods, and that mandating the
three-foot buffer was unnecessary at this time.
The City Council directed staff to amend proposed Ordinance No. 1398 to
eliminate the requirement for a three-foot wide landscape area between
adjacent properties but that unattractive, excessively-paved areas should
remain a concern, and that sufficient discretion should be available to ensure
that the code does not unfairly apply to narrow lots, lots at the ends of cul-de-
sacs, or other irregular conditions. Draft Ordinance No. 1398 (Code Amendment
11-004) has now been revised in accordance with City Council direction.
As a wholly separate matter, Proposed Ordinance No. 1398 also includes
proposed regulations to allow for the installation of synthetic turf on private
property since the same Tustin City Code Sections are affected and may have a
correlation in application.
On August 2, 2011, the City Council had first reading by title only and
introduction of Ordinance 1398.
Recommendation: Have second reading by title only and adoption of Ordinance
No. 1398 (roll call vote).
ORDINANCE NO. 1398
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL. OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
