1. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 88-02 AND ZONE CHANGE 88-02 (SAN JUAN
APARTMENTS)
Daniel Fox, Associate Planner, gave a staff report indicating
that the proposed General Plan Amendment would change the land
use designation of the subject site from (C) Commercial to MF
(Multi -family Residential) and the proposed Zone Change would
change the PC -C1 (Planned Community/Retail Commercial)
designation to R-3 (2200) (Multi -family Residential) to
accommodate a maximum of 8 dwelling units.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar asked, if the land were zoned as residential,
would a future zone change be required to build commercial. He
received an affirmative answer from staff.

Development, informed Council he was present to answer any

There were no other speakers on the matter and the Public Hearing
was closed at 7:20 p.m.
Mayor'Pro Tem Edgar was concerned with the existing high density
of multi -family units and would support rezoning to residential,
but only to an R-3 (2700) allowing a density of 1 dwelling unit
per 2700 square feet of lot area.
Councilman Prescott voiced his approval of the Planning
Commission's recommendation of R-3 (2200).
Councilman Kelly felt that the applicant's request for rezoning
was compatible with the immediate area and supported the zone
change:
Councilman Hoesterey clarified that, under the 2700 square foot
requirement, the project would be reduced from.eight units to six
units. He noted the high density on San Juan Street, proximity
to Tustin High School atd the surrounding compatibility of 2700
square feet housing.
Councilman Prescott requested to hear from the property owner
regarding the rezoning and the possible reduction in the number
of units.
Larry Campeau said he was undecided which direction to take
should the project units be reduced.
It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to continue this
matter at the February 21, 1989, Council meeting. The motion
carried 5-0. 81
2. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION AMENDMENT TO USE PERMIT 87-14,
SOUTHERN COUNTIES OIL COMPANY - NEWPORT AVENUE/BONITA STREET
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported
that one of the mitigation conditions imposed upon the fuel
facility at the time of construction required the relocation of
all large trucks in excess of 30 feet upon completion of an
alternate truck fuel facility. While the applicant was currently
establishing an alternate fuel facility, it would not be in
Tustin and subsequently the Planning Commission modified the
condition to include a review and monitoring period every 18
months. The modification of the condition did not require
relocation of the truck service. The applicant had requested
deletion of Condition 36 which required the City to periodically
monitor and mitigate traffic concerns that resulted from large
truck fuel service at the applicant's existing fuel facility.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Frank Greinke, 230 South "A" Street, Tustin, owner of Southern
Counties Oil Co., stated that his family-owned business had been
located in Tustin for 58 years. He clarified that their new
facility had been in operation since October and a number of
trucks had been relocated. The need for on-going review and
monitoring was an area of disagreement between himself and staff
and he reiterated the City's provisions and authority to revoke
Conditional Use Permits should problems or violations occur. He
stated his company had complied with all of the City's mitigation
requests and now should be allowed to operate without
restrictions. He considered the condition to be an infringement
n upon his rights as a property owner and noted other oil companies
in the City that operated without such restrictions. He
appreciated the cooperation and assistance he had received from
staff and requested Council's approval of his appeal.
There were no other speakers on the matter and the Public Hearing
was closed at 7:40 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar felt Mr. Greinke's position eloquently,
presented the concern of bureaucracy imposing extreme controls
upon the community. He thought Conditional Use Permits needed
to be monitored and non-compliance, whenever it occurred, was the
�c'.s.,s..�vs.—.....��.�s..�rr�+�-�+.--..vacs.-ane.:�ttirr�.rw..�r���c>—...e•r.r+.r_rrra.�rtayt-.�..�v..:�asswww+�.�..w

basis for revocation. To apply a condition on the premise that
in 18 months there may be additional factors to consider was
unfair and he was supportive of the appeal request.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kelly, to delete Condition 36
of Exhibit A of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2420.
Councilman Hoesterey said the trucks would not be eliminated and
felt a continuing monitoring program was futile.
Mayor- Kennedy noted her respect for the Greinke family but said
she had received several complaints from citizens impacted by the
large truck traffic; such as, trucks disregarding automobile
traffic, noise, blocking of traffic, hazard of trucks completing
wide turns, no on-site employees, and the potential hazard of
entry/exit on small feeder streets. She recalled the initial
plan which was to move the trucks from the smaller facility. She
felt the property owner had changed the intended use of the lot
and should be required to monitor the situation.
Councilman Kelly did want government to force excessive
monitoring on acceptable operations within the community.
The motion carried 3-1, Kennedy opposed and Prescott abstained.

3. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 88-01, SYCAMORE GARDENS
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported
that Sycamore Gardens .became a stock cooperative in January,
1980, and was the only stock cooperative in the City. The
applicant had met the City's condominium requirements and this
change would provide the applicant with resale capability. The
Code amendment would effect only the subject property.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:48 p.m. There were
no speakers on the matter and the Public Hearing was closed.
It was moved•by Edgar seconded by Prescott, that Ordinance No.
1020 have first reading by title only. The motion carried 5-0.

the City Clerk, it was moved by Kelly, seconded by Edgar, that

1. STATUS REPORT - JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT NOISE MONITORING PROGRAM
(JWA), COALITION FOR A RESPONSIBLE AIRPORT SOLUTION (CRAS),
AIRPORT SITE COALITION (ASC) AND HELICOPTER OVERFLIGHT PROGRAM
TASK FORCE (HOPTF)
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, gave a
staff report as contained in the Community Development memorandum
dated February 6, 1989.
Council concurred that Councilman Kelly be formally nominated to
- serve on the ORAS Board.
Mayor Kennedy expressed her concerns regarding the JWA Monorail
and its effect upon increased' traffic in Tustin. She did not
want John Wayne Airport expansion encouraged and urged the
Council to monitor Newport Beach's appeal of the determination
that the monorail would have no significant impact on the
environment.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar said it was premature to judge if the
monorail was growth inducing.
Councilman Prescott thought McDonnell -Douglas should be commended
for providing a monorail at private expense.
At Mayor Kennedy's request, Mayor Pro Tem Edgar provided
information on the lack of bus service to John Wayne Airport.
Mayor Kennedy asked for Council concurrence in adamantly opposing
the possible helicopter flights over the East Tustin area.
Councilman Hoesterey felt it was more of an issue than
helicopter flights because in 3 to 5 years there would be
different types of aircraft using the helicopter station and
approaching at lower altitudes and higher speeds.. He wanted the
City to vigorously oppose any change to the approach pattern.
Mayor Kennedy directed staff to take steps accordingly and
offered Council assistance if needed.
It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Edgar, to receive and file
subject report. The motion carried 5-0. 101

water storage facilities be prepared by a consultant.

4. I-5/RTE. 55 INTERCHANGE PROJECT
107
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported that the
date for the Caltrans Open House meeting with the Tustin Village
Way residents had been set for March 14, 1989, in the Council
Chambers. Both Caltrans and the homeowners' association had
agreed to this date and notices would be mailed by staff to all
property owners and residents.
A brief Council/staff discussion followed regarding the specific
subjects to be covered during the Caltrans meeting.
Howard Branski, Tustin Village Way, requested that Caltrans staff
reports be provided for the homeowners prior to the meeting on
March 14, 1989, reiterated his concerns that the proposed project
would have on the immediate area adjacent to the interchange, and
asked the reason for the delay of the meeting date.
Mayor Kennedy reminded him that the City Council had only the
power of persuasion and through that power the Council and staff
was attempting to serve as a guide and counselor for the
residents.
Councilman Hoesterey recalled that information from Caltrans
concerning the Tustin Village Way area had been inconsistent and
Council had, through meetings with Mr. McKean of Caltrans,
strongly advised that the next meeting convey precisely what
would transpire. He hoped the next report and information would
be Caltrans' true intentions and the Council had encouraged, at
Mr. McKean's level, those results.
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public works, clazified that the
delay in the meeting date was due to a combination of conflicts
with the homeowners' association board meetings and Caltrans
inability to provide all the vital data on a short time -line.
Ralph Neal, Caltrans Director for District No. 12, pledged to the
Council, as he had to the representatives of the homeowners'
i association, that when Caltrans responded the information would
be accurate, correct, up-to-date and exactly what would happen
to the Tustin Village Way property. This was the reason Caltrans
could not be prepared for one of the suggested meeting dates.
He said Caltrans would meet with the homeowners prior to the
meeting and provide them an opportunity to preview the data.
Mayor Kennedy informed Mr. Neal that other groups of residents
in Tustin, effected by the I-5 widening., would need informational
meetings with Caltrans.
Donna Wilson, 15500 Tustin Village Way, was concerned about the
fire coverage and was informed by Mayor Kennedy that the City
contracted that service through the Orange County Fire
Department.

It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedv, to receive and file
subject report. The motion carried 5-0. 54
S. 1989 CHILI COOK -OFF LOCATION
Royleen White, Director of Administrative and Community Services,
reviewed the petition submitted by Mr. Michael David requesting
a change in the location of the Chili Cook -Off. Staff found that
less than 20% of those addresses listed on Mr. David's petition
were closely impacted by the Chili Cook -Off. Staff personally
interviewed residents on the street that is closed for the event
and the results were 78% positive about the Chili Cook -Off and
its.current location in Old Towne Tustin.
Councilman Kelly was angry because City resources were spent on
the poll and he felt the quality of the poll was poor.
Councilman Prescott noted that Mr. David's petition had specific
names and addresses while staff's survey did not. He felt the
petition with names and addresses was more credible.
Councilman Hoesterey felt the Chili Cook -Off was an historical
event held in the downtown area, it directly benefited charitable
organizations and he was in favor of the event and its location.
It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to continue the
1989 Chili Cook -Off at the Old Towne Tustin location.
The following members of the community spoke in opposition to Old
Towne Tustin as the location for the Chili Cook -Off:
Michael David, 445-1/2 Sixth Street, Tustin
Greg Kelly, 330 E1 Camino Real, Tustin
Councilman Kelly noted Ordinance No. 510 which prohibited the
sale of goods in the public right-of-way and said the Chili Cook -
Off was in violation of that law.
A substitute motion was made by Kelly, seconded by Prescott, to
relocate the 1989 Chili Cook -Off to the Senior Center facility
or Peppertree Park.
The following members of the community spoke in favor of the
Chili Cook -Off and its location in Old Towne Tustin:
Margaret Greinke, 1989 Chili Cook -Off Honorary Chairman
Rick Rengel, Rengel & Co. Architects, 333 E1 Camino, Tustin
Margarete Thompson, Chili Cook -Off Committee
Mayor Kennedy asked if Chili Cook -Off permits were required to
comply with Ordinance No. 510 and received an affirmative answer
from staff and, therefore, no violation of the law had occurred.
She said staff conducted their poll because this was a City
Council sponsored event and there was concern when a petition is
signed by 160 people. The downtown area was originally selected
as the Chili Cook -Off location to celebrate its restoration and
"showcase" Old Towne Tustin. She suggested polling residents of
the downtown area as to their preference for next year's location
and the 1989 location remain as scheduled.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar felt a poll expanded beyond E1 Camino and the
adjoining streets would be irrelevant.
The substitute motion failed 2-3, Kennedy, Edgar and Hoesterey
opposed.
As an addition to the original motion, it was moved by Hoesterey,
seconded by Edgar, to increase the clean-up efforts if needed.
The motion carried 3-2, Kelly and Prescott opposed. 41

6. DIAMOND LANES
Councilman Kelly stated he had submitted copies of two
Resolutions for Council. consideration. He noted an earlier
conversation with Mayor Kennedy where she said she would not
voice opposition to the concept of diamond lanes and Mayor Pro
Tem Edgar's commentary -supporting diamond lanes.
Mayor Kennedy commented that Councilman Kelly was referring to
a private conversation between the two of them in which she told
him that, at the present time, she favored diamond lanes. She
did not say that she would never vote against them and asked him,
if he was going to report on private conversations in a public
meeting, to report them accurately.
Discussion followed between Mayor Kennedy and Councilman Kelly
regarding their private conversation.
Councilman Kelly said he had acquired a Resolution from the City
of Fountain Valley requesting that the local Orange County
Congressional delegation go on record opposing H.O.V. lanes and
he wanted the Council to adopt a similar Resolution.
Councilman Hoesterey clarified that of the two Resolutions
submitted, he would support the one requesting a trial period on
diamond lanes.
Councilman Edgar noted that when a trial period is requested it
meant that analytical procedures used for decades should be
ignored and discard the investment that had been made. The
studies that had been done made a positive conclusion through
analytical models on the freeways in the Southern California
area.
The following member of the community spoke in opposition to
diamond lanes:
Larry Koenig, 14481 Deerfield Avenue, Tustin
At Mayor Pro Tem Edgar's request, Brian Pearson of the O.C.T.D.
staff, addressed the Council regarding the background of commuter
lanes, transportation management, ride -sharing plans, transitways
in Orange County, and the current and future projects of O . C . T . D .
A question -and -answer period followed between Council and Brian
Pearson.
It was moved by Kelly,- seconded by Hoesterev, to adopt the
following Resolution No. 89-24:
RESOLUTION NO. 89-24 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
TO REMOVE DIAMOND LANES FOR A TRIAL PERIOD
Councilman Prescott felt it was unfair to have diamond lanes
forced upon the public by a non -elected body and he considered
it social engineering.
Mayor Kennedy thought there were serious traffic problems without
benefit of necessary funding and property for expansion of the
freeway system. She hoped that a small portion of the general
public would be encouraged by their places of employment to join
van pools and contribute to cleaner air. She was opposed to the
resolution as a step backward.
The motion carried 3-2, Kennedy and Edgar opposed. 54
(At 9:48 p.m., the meeting recessed for five minutes.)

XI. NEW BUSINESS
1. CITY COUNCIL NOTIFICATION POLICY
Mayor Kennedy said the Council had a present policy whereby the
Council was notified when a major event effecting residents and
businesses occurred; such as, chemical spills, airplane crashes,
major crimes, health hazards, negotiations, resignations of major
staff members and crimes committed by staff.
Councilman Hoesterey noted that the -Mayor had information that

system of a tree on private property without permission or a Hold
Harmless agreement.

expectations that the zoning of the subject area would be changed
