The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 91-288 was submitted to the Planning Commission by J. P. Greubel Company for consideration. That a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held for said map on March 23, 1992. The public hearing was closed on March 23, 1992, and the item was continued to April 13, 1992, as a consent calendar item. Ce That the proposed subdivision is not in conformance with the Tustin Area General Plan, particularly the Housing and Scenic Highways Elements as evidenced by the following: · The map proposes a lot layout with a predominantly inward orientation which is inconsistent with adjacent single family development to the north, east and west of the site which primarily addresses Holt and Warren Avenues. The Housing Element identifies an objective to conserve existing neighborhoods and the proposed map would introduce a contrasting character of neighborhood by directing access to each of the lots from an internal private street, rather than from Holt or Warren Avenues. · The proposed map has a lot layout that results in rear ana side yards along Holt and Warren Avenues creating a need to provide privacy walls for these yard areas. The Scenic Highways Element identifies an objective to design walls and other barriers along arterial streets that provide a pleasant and scenic effect to the area. The walls for this development would be at least six feet high and border Holt and Warren Avenues 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3015 Page 2 De Ee Fo breaking the visual corridor currently maintained along Holt Avenue, a secondary arterial. Pursuant to Section 9335.03 and 9335.09 of the City of Tustin Subdivision Ordinance, the subject Vesting Tentative Tract Map is inconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance in that only three units are permitted on the site by the site's current E-4 Zoning and the subject site could not be developed with four units without approval of a zone change and multiple variances to the City's Zoning Ordinance. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed as evidenced by the following: I · The existing boundaries of the subject property is such that the subdivision includes the creation of two flag lots resulting in an disorderly development pattern in comparison to adjacent single family development. · The proposed access to the subdivision combined with the type of development results in the creation of a substandard street in comparison with adjacent single family development. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development as evidenced by the following: · The minimum lot size required for R-1 (Single Family Residential District) zoning can not be achieved without the approval of deviations from the City's Private Street Standards, which includes providing a paved street width of 28 feet where 36 feet is required, eliminating a five-foot wide sidewalk along one side of the street, eliminating a cul-de-sac terminus design and providing a shared drive approach for Lots 2 and 4. 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. 3015 Page 3 · The minimum lot size required for R-1 (Single Family Residential District) zoning must be met and the lot layout proposed to accommodate this standard results in variances for front yard setbacks and minimum lot widths. Without the approval of these variances the minimum lot width could not be achieved; therefore the map layout is not considered suitable for the R-1 (Single Family Residential District) density proposed. II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council denial of Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No 91-288.
