The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I · The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A· That a proper application Variance 91-21 has been filed by ENVIPCO California, Inc. requesting authorization to increase the maximum height permitted for bulk reverse vending machines from ten (10) feet to thirteen (13) feet at an existing super market at the property located at 13270 Newport Avenue. · That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held for said application on January 27, 1992. Ce That the Planning Commission has reviewed the request for a Variance from Tustin City Code Section 9232b(v) (3) to allow the increase of the maximum height permitted for bulk reverse vending machines from ten (10) feet to thirteen (13) feet at 13270 Newport Avenue and can be supported by the following findings: The site is unusual and exceptional circumstances exist in that, due to the high demand for recycling facilities, the machine must be larger to accommodate the needs of the residents. If the machine was reconfigured to comply with the ten- foot maximum height, the depth would need to be increased to accommodate the volume. This increased depth would then block the pedestrian circulation of the sidewalk. · The strict interpretation of the Code would deprive the applicant of providing the recycling machines. The City Code Section 9232b(v) (3), while established in 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1 9_0 9_1 22 23 27 28 Resolution No. 3002 Page 2 good faith, was adopted in September of 1987. Since that time, increased need for recycling facilities, heightened awareness of environmental issues and advancements in the field of recycling has brought forth modern technologies not anticipated at the time of the current Code's adoption. · The granting of this Variance will not have a detrimental impact on the adjacent and surrounding properties in that the new machine's height and proportion is in keeping with the surrounding buildings. The machine also consolidates the existing four individual machines into one streamlined, self-illuminated machine; reducing the visual clutter in front of the center. · The Variance is consistent with the provision of the General Plan in that use of machines will assist the City of Tustin in reaching the goals of Assembly Bill 939. This Bill requires the City to reduce the amount of refuse and solid waste the City disposes into landfills De This project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15302 (Class 2). II. The Planning Commission hereby approves Variance 91-21 to allow increase of the maximum heiaht permitted for bulk reverse vending machines from ten (10)'feet to thirteen' (13) feet at an existing super market at the property located at 13270 Newport Avenue, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A attached hereto. 10 11 13 14 15 18 19 20 ~3 Resolution No. 3002 Page 3 PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular Planning Commission meeting on the 27th day of January, 1992. ,.
