RESOLUTION NO. 3413
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 95-019 AND VARIANCE 95-011, AUTHORIZING
THE ISSUANCE OF A TYPE 23 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL LICENSE TO ESTABLISH A MICROBREWERY IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A RESTAURJLNT AT 13011 NEWPORT
AVENUE, SUITE 100, AND A VARIANCE TO REDUCE
THE REQUIRED PARKING FROM 327 SPACES TO 241
SPACES AT 13011-13051 NEWPORT AVENUE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I .
The Planning Commission finds and determines as
follows:
a.
That.a_proper application for Conditional Use
Permit 95-019 and Variance 95-011 was filed by
Tustin Brewing Company to request
authorization for the issuance of a Type 23
License from the Department of Alcoholic
Beverage' Control for the establishment of a
restaurant with on-premise brewing facilities
for the manufacture and sale of beer for on-
site consumption at 13011 Newport Avenue,
Suite 100, and a Variance to reduce the
required parking from 327 spaces to 241 spaces
at a commercial shopping center located at
13011-13051 Newport Avenue, more specifically
described as Assessor's Parcel No. 401-221-04.
m .
That the proposed use is allowed within the
Central Commercial District, with the approval
of a Conditional Use Permit.
C~
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed
and held on said application on January 8,
1996 by the Planning Commission.
m ·
That the establishment, maintenance and
operation of the use applied for 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 of
such proposed use, 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, as evidenced by ~he following
findings:

.
The application is in substantial
compliance with the City's adopted
guidelines for alcoholic beverage sales
establishments, which have been
established and considered to mitigate
potential impacts associated with the
sale of alcohol.
.
The sale of beer and wine will be for on-
site consumption only.
.
Hours of sale of beer and wine shall be
limited to the hours when food is
available. Menu items shall be available
in the restaurant during business hours.
o
Ail persons serving beer and wine shall
be eighteen (18) years of age or older
and supervised by someone twenty-one (21)
years of age or older. The supervisor
will be present in the same area as point
of sale.
E .
That granting of a Variance to permit the
shared use of the available 241 on-site
parking spaces among the tenants of .the
subject property, further described as Plaza
LaFayette, although the Tustin City Code would
require 327 on-site parking spaces to serve
each of the uses separately, can be supported
by the following findings:
There . are special circumstances
applicable to the shape, size, locationL
topography or surroundinqs such that the
strict application of the zoninq
ordinance deprives the property of
privileqes enjoyed by other property in
the vicinity and under the identical
zoninq classification - There are special
circumstances applicable to the location
of the proposed use in that the existing
mix of uses 'offers the opportunity for
sh~red parking, because the peak parking
demand for individual uses occurs at
different times. The capability of the
shopping center to support the proposed
microbrewery in conjunction with the
existing uses was demonstrated by actual
parking counts taken at the subject
property, when it was found that no less
Resolution No. 3413
Page 3
than 33 parking spaces were unoccupied
during the center's overall peak parking
demand period. Based on a parking demand
to seat ratio of 0.23 for microbreweries,
as estimated by a licensed traffic
engineer, the subject property, as
presently developed and occupied, could
support a microbrewery with up to 143
seats. The strict application of the
parking requirements would preclude the
property owners from securing a viable
tenant when it has been demonstrated that
the subject property has adequate
capacity to support the use proposed.

.
Grantinq of the Variance will not
constitute a special privileqe
inconsistent with the limitations upon
other properties in the vicinity and
zoninq district in which the subject
property is situated - Ail developed
commercial properties in the City of
Tustin are required to provide adequate
off-street parking to meet their on-site
parking needs. A parking study was
submitted to the City which determined
that adequate on-site parking was
provided on the subject property to
adequately serve the aggregate parking
demand generated'by uses occupying Plaza
LaFayette. Therefore, no special
privilege will be granted as a result of
approving this Variance request.
A Negative Declaration has been prepared and
certified for this project in accordance with
the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) .
That 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.

Type 23 Alcoholic Beverage Control License to
establish a microbrewery in conjunction with a

Variance 95-011 to reduce the required parking from
