The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I · The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: At That a proper application, Conditional Use Permit 93-006, has been filed by Mr. Hamid Rashidian to establish a convenience market at the property located at 13882 Newport Avenue, Suite D, Tustin, California. Be A public hearing was duly called, noticed and held for said application on March 8, 1993 by the Planning Commission. Ce That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the use applied for will, 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 and will be a detriment to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, and to the general welfare of the City of Tustin as evidenced by the following findings: · The subject site is located in close proximity to Tustin High School and is adjacent to multiple family residential development. The closest path for pedestrain traffic between the high school and the proposed convenience market would be on Bonita Street, through the residential district. Increased pedestrain traffic on this residential street could negatively impact the welfare and comfort of persons residing in the neighborhood. Furthermore, Bonita Street is not improved with continuous sidewalks. Therefore, students would be forced to walk in the street which would cause conflict with vehicluar traffic and threaten the safety of the students. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3121 Page 2 ~ The subject site is located in the South Central Redevelopment Project Area which was found to be a blighted area pursuant to Ordinance 890. The sale of items such as food and beverages for off-site consumption could promote loitering in the vicinity of the proposed convenience market. An increase in loitering caused by the proposed use would result in the following: Se Cast-off food and beverage packaging would increase the potential for litter in the neighborhood. Increased litter would contribute to. the further deterioration of the neighborhood. be The potential sale of auto related items in the proposed convenience market would result in the potential use of the parking lot for automobile repair.

Ce Loitering in the area of the proposed convenience market would result in the potential for graffiti vandalism in the neighborhood. Increased occurrence of graffiti would increase the blight in the neighborhood. · -Convenience markets previously approved in the South Central Redevelopment Project ~rea sell specialty items only, such as produce and ethnic food products. These establishments have products selected to cater to the surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed use would attract customers driving by the establishment on Newport Avenue and high school students in search of a combination of food, beverage, magazines and auto related items for off-site use.

Twenty- two convenience markets and ten grocery/drug stores over 15,000 square feet in floor area are located within one mile of the proposed convenience market. As the proposed convenience market does not provide specialty items selected to cater to the surrounding neighborhoods, approval of the subject use could potentially promote the proliferation of convenience markets.
