·
The project proposes .62 acres of useable
common open space where .54 acres are
required.
Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin
Municipal Code, the 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 buildings.
2. Setbacks and site planning.
3. Exterior materials and colors.
4. Type and pitch of roofs.
·
Size and spacing of windows, doors and
other openings.
·
Towers, chimneys, roof structures,
flagpoles, radio and television antennae.
·
Landscaping, parking area design and
traffic circulation.
8. Location, height and standards of
exterior illumination.
·
Location and appearance of equipment
located outside of an enclosed structure.
10. Location and method of refuse storage.
11. Physical relationship of proposed
structures to existing structures in the
neighborhood.
12. Appearance and design relationship of
proposed structures to existing
structures and possible future structures
in the neighborhood and public -
thoroughfares.

14. Development Guidelines and criteria as
adopted by the city Council.
That the proposed deviations from the City's
street improvement standards, as approved by
the Building Official for (1) no sidewalks
adjacent to the private drives (i.e. Lots C,
E, and H - L), and; (2) elimination of a cul-
de-sac at the northerly terminus of Street "A"
will have no impact on public safety, police
protection, fire protection or public
services, as evidenced by the following:
·
Sidewalks have not typically been
required 'in private drives in these
configurations similar to other patio
home and cluster development projects;
and,
·
The elimination of the cul-de-sac would
not preclude emergency access or overall
vehicular circulation as the tee
intersection created by Lots K/L and
Street "A" would provide, adequate
maneuverability.
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves Design
Review 97-001 and Conditional Use Permit 97-001,
authorizing construction of a 53 unit single-family
detached cluster development project on Vesting
Tentative Tract 15427 located at the southeast
corner of Irvine Boulevard and Tustin Ranch Road,
subject to conditions contained in Exhibit A
attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin
