The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ao That a proper application, Conditional Use Permit 92-027, has been filed Mr. Tuillo Vigano on behalf of Dr. Victor P. Valdez, Jr. D.M.D. requesting authorization to establish professional offices which exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total gross square footage of the development; and authorization to reduce the required amount of parking spaces from 19 space to 15 space located at 181, 18.3 and 185 E1 Camino Real. Be That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said application on September 28, 1992. Ce That 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, and will not 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 approximately 730 feet (1/8 of a mile) from the main retail areas of the "Old Town" downtown area. Establishment of a commercial retail space at this location has been difficult given the location. · The patrons of office uses proposed on the site (ie. dental office) may potential provide economic support for the "Old Town" downtown retail/ commercial merchants and restaurants. 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 22 23 2~ 9.5 2T 3 4 Resolution No. 3094 Page 2 De Ee Fo · Permitting more than fifty percent (50%) of the floor area on the site to be used for office will not be reducing the opportunities for establishment of future commercial retail in that the a majority of the square footage on site does not have a prime retail commercial shop front. · A number of uses in the immediate vicinity to the subject site are office uses. The proposed office uses would be compatible with the surrounding uses with regard to use and business hours. · Additional economic analysis and review of land use patterns in "Old Town", completed as part of the American Institute of Architects Regional Urban Design Assistance Team (RUDAT) report "Vision of Old Town" strongly identifies the subject site within a transition area where it is recommended that office and business service functions be encouraged. These uses are the primary activities in the area and would be activities which could support a retail core in closer proximity to the vicinity of the Main Street and E1 Camino Real. That the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use applied for will not be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, nor to the general welfare of the City of Tustin, as evidenced by the findings stated above. Pursuant to Section 9233e(2), that the development of a professional offices on the subject property would be more compatible with the surrounding uses in the area than permitted retail commercial uses, as evidenced by the findings stated above. That the granting of the variance from Sections to reduce the amount of required parking spaces for the development from 19 spaces to 15 spaces, can be supported by the following findings: That any variance qranted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not 8 9 10 11 13 14 17 i9 ~0 22 25 ! 28 Resolution No. 3094 Page 3 constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and district in which the subject property is situated. And; a · The Variance would be consistent with past actions and would not convey a privilege which is not enjoyed by the other property owners in the same zoning district in that other types of office uses are required to provide less parking in the combined Parking Overlay District. · be Due to the nature of the medical/dental office use, parking spaces will be utilized on a short term basis. The estimated demand for parking is less than what would be required on by the Code. Based on the conditions of approval, any potential parking problem will mitigated in such a manner so that there will be no impacts on surround~ properties within the Central Commercial District. C· The Combined Parking Overlay Distri regulations provide reduced parki requirements for office an~ commercial/retail, however, there is provided reduction for medical/denta offices. The variance for this proj would be consistent with the intent the Combined Parking Overlay District an~ the American Institute of Architect~ Regional Urban Design Assistance report "Vision of Old Town" whi recommends that office and busines service function be encouraged Therefore, granting of the Variance woul not constitute a special privilege a will be consistent with the limitatior of surrounding properties in District. That because of special circumstance applicable to the property, includinq size shape, topography, location or surroun~ the strict application of the Zoninq Ordinanc~ · 6 7 8 9 10 11 · 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 23 24 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3094 Page 4 is found to deprive subject property. of privileqes enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. a · The site is unusual in regards to the proposed use in that based on the proposed amount of treatment rooms and the required health standards regarding their use, the proposed dental office would only generate a certain specific demand for parking which could be accommodated on the subject site. b· The configuration of the parcel and the existing site improvements are such that the construction of additional spaces is impossible. G · C · The layout of the existing development is such that the parking lot is not openly visible to the general public and is not susceptible to general public traffic thus further reducing the availability of parking to the center's tenants and the dental practice patients. This project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (Class 3) pursuant to the provisions of Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). II. The Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 92-032 authorizing the establishment of offices which exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total gross square footage of the development; and Variance 92- 007 granting the reduction in the amount of required parking spaces from 19 spaces to 15 spaces located at 181, 183 and 185 E1 Camino Real, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit A, attached hereto. 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 · 12 13 14 15 21 22 :23 2d 25 2¢ 27 Resolution No. 3094 Page 5 PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission, held on the 28th day of September, 1992.
