RESOLUTION NO. 2798
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE
CITY COUNCIL DENY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 90-
01, A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE LAND USE
DESIGNATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN FROM SINGLE-
FAMILY TO MF (MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) FOR
THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 18281 WARREN AVENUE
14442, 14392, 14382 AND 14352 HOLT AVENUE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does
hereby resolve as follows:
I ·
The Planning Commission finds and determines as
follows:
A®
Government Code Section 65356.1 provides that
when it is deemed to be in the public
interest, the legislative body may amend a
part of the General Plan.
B·
In accordance with Government Code Section
65356.1, a public hearing was duly noticed,
called, and held on the application of the
Diversified Real Property Management to
reclassify the land use designation from SF
(Single Family) to MF (Multi-Family
Residential) on the properties located at
18281 Warren Avenue, 14442, 14392, 14382 and
14352 Holt Avenue.
Ce
The existing single-family designation is in
the best interest of the public and
surrounding property owners, in that Warren
Avenue is a more appropriate buffer between
multi-family residences and the existing
single-family neighborhood.
De
The proposed land use change is not consistent
with other elements of the General Plan,
particularly the Land Use Element and the
Housing Element which discourage creation of
additional multi-family designated land, in
that there is currently an imbalance of
renter-occupied housing versus owner-occupied
housing and the City cannot require owner-
occupied versus renter-occupied housing as
both would be permitted within a multi-family
designation.
E®
The proposed amendment to multi-family
residential is inappropriate because the
proposal would be inconsistent with the

predominate character of the surrounding area.
The surrounding area is comprised of very low
density residential developments with large
setbacks and considerable open space. The
amendment would encourage larger buildings,
less open space, smaller dwelling units and
considerably smaller setbacks from Holt
Avenue.
Fe
The proposed land use amendment is
inconsistent with the North Tustin Specific
Plan which designated properties adjacent to
Holt Avenue for single-family development and
encourages the preservation of existing
single-family neighborhoods.
II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends the City
Council deny General Plan Amendment 90-01.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning
Commission of the City of Tustin, held on the 9th day of
July, 1990.
