A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
APPROVE CODE AMENDMENT 96-3 - AN ORDINANCE (ORD. NO.
1173) AMENDING TUSTIN CITY CODE SECTION 9272 RELATED TO
DESIGN REVIEW.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does resolve as
follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A,
Residential developers have been requesting changes to
product-type through the Design Review approval process,
after a development is under construction, units sold,
and homes are occupied;
B o
Residential subdividers have proposed design changes that
may diminish the property values of existing homes in the
development, by proposing different exterior designs,
cheaper materials, fewer amenities, and different square
footages;
C o
Homeowners in such developments have expressed great
concerns about such product design modifications, because
of the effect on neighborhood aesthetics and property
values;
D .
While allowing for reasonable changes to adjust to market
demand, residential developers should be encouraged to
buildout their projects with the original product design,
and be discouraged from piece mealing their projects.
Unless regulated as provided in the proposed ordinance,
the current ability to modify design review approval will
adversely affect the aesthetics and residential property
values of the community;
E .
The proposed amendment implements the Tustin General Plan
by establishing uniform regulations to ensure compatible
and complementary development occurs;
Fe
Adoption of the Code Amendment will advance the
preservation of the environment by establishing
procedures and requirements for modifications to
previously approved residential projects;
G.
A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project as
set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Negative Declaration was considered by the Planning
Commission Resolution No. 3503 and recommended for
approval to the City Council;
