STAFF CONCERNS
3. REPORT OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE MAY 6, 2002,
CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
The City Council approved the code amendment for office uses
in the Oveday District, and the Ordinance will take effect soon.
The City Council continued the notification for 500 feet and may
recommend an additional continuance in order for staff to
complete a survey of other communities that require additional
notification; staff will provide a copy of the findings to the
Planning Commission.
Staff will be taking the code amendment for the business license
regulations back to the Council; the Council wants to eliminate
the License and Permit Board; the Planning Commission will
have a role if the regulations are adopted as proposed, either as
the hearing body or an appeal body; the ultimate appeal authority
will be the City Council.
There were special meetings on May 8th and May 10th to adopt
resolutions approving various agreements between the City and
the United States government, conveying certain portions of
MCAS-Tustin.
An agreement was reached on May 10th between the City and
the Santa Ana Unified School District regarding MCAS Reuse
efforts.
Invitations were sent to the Planning Commission for the
conveyance ceremony scheduled tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
The Tustin Old Town Association material provided at the dais
relates to zoning concepts and requests for support of future
mixed use concepts within Old Town; staff will be looking at
some of the items referred to in the packet; the existing Overlay
District already allows for some of these opportunities to occur;
as staff receives direction from the City Council, the Planning
Commission will be kept informed.
COMMISSION CONCERNS
Stated the Old Town Tustin Caltrans sign (heading west on Red
Hill) points in the wrong direction; and, asked if there is a way to
correct this misdirection.

Director
Commented the Commission and staff recognized that the
directional issue might be a problem when the Caltrans signs
were initially proposed; staff indicated at that time that additional
directional signs might be required; perhaps there is work yet to
be done.
Stated Old Town Tustin signs, which would include the new logo,
are being considered by the Tustin Old Town Association and
the Redevelopment Agency, and directional signage throughout
Tustin is included in that plan.
Stated his appreciation for the new Enderle monument sign;
asked about the temporary banner signs for Shoshana's; and,
asked if Shoshana includes massage.
Referred to the staff report for tonight's item; and, asked, if staff
was aware of massage services at Bentley's Salon in 1996, why
was nothing done sooner.
Responded that staff can look at old code enforcement files to
verify the sequence of notification and report back to the
Commission; and, stated the Business License Technician has
been looking at those types of businesses more closely.
Indicated he was proud to attend the Village of Hope ground-
breaking over the weekend; and, offered congratulations to the
City Council for their hard work in resolving the issues at the
Base.
Thanked staff for helping him to better understand the business
license process.
Stated he retrieved a snipe sign from the northeasterly offramp
at Fourth Street and the SR-55, advertising for a May 4-5 event
related to an auto dealership.
Noted the Exxon station at Fourth and Irvine has an inordinate
amount of signs advertising cigarettes, specifically referring to
two pole-mounted signs that he does not recall the Planning
Commission approving; and, added that there seems to be a
proliferation of banners and painted signs in windows at several
vehicular repair service businesses along Red Hill.
Responded that staff will follow up by looking at the signs and
comparing them to what is allowed by the Code; staff will report
findings to the Planning Commission.

Kozak
Thanked the Director and the Traffic Engineer for addressing an
item he presented regarding the intersection of Warren and
Newport where a fire hydrant was being blocked by parked
automobiles.
Asked if a workshop schedule is being prepared.
Director
Indicated one of the items, the First Street Specific Plan, is being
researched by a Cai State Fullerton graduate class, which will
provide additional information for that workshop; Justina Willkom
was primarily involved in organizing the workshops; Justina has
recently been responsible for the Housing Element Update, a
significant undertaking, and the Community Development Block
Grant One-Year Action Plan; those items are tentatively
approved, allowing more time for future workshop preparation.
Davert
Stated that, in his opinion, this past week was the biggest in the
history of Tustin; and, commended the Council's leadership and
staff's diligence, not only regarding the transfer that will take
place tomorrow, but also resolving the issues with the
neighboring school district.
Reminded everyone the Chili Cook-Off takes place June 2nd.
Echoed Commissioner Denny's remarks regarding the Village of
Hope ceremony last Saturday.
Encouraged everyone to attend the conveyance ceremony
tomorrow, another momentous event in Tustin's history.
Noted that graffiti has again appeared on the back of the Enderle
Center office buildings on Yorba facing SR-55.
