The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That a proper application (Conditional Use Permit 89-38 and Variance 89-20) has been filed by First Baptist Church, to establish a church and reduce the on-site parking requirement from 204 to 103 spaces on property located at 2472 Walnut Avenue and by Tust]n Corporate Park Ltd. to reduce its required parking from 167 spaces to 66 spaces at 2492 Walnut in order to provide a joint parking agreement with said church. The properties are further described as Parcel 3 and 4 of Parcel Map 84-1031. B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said application on January 8, 1990. Co 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, evidenced by the following findings: The use applied for is a conditionally permitted use within the Planned Community Industrial District of the Irvine Industrial Complex as determined by the Planning Commission. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 2~ 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 2720 January 8, 1990 Page two · , · · The use applied for is consistent with the Land Use Designation of the City's General Plan which indicates recognition of mixed use developments which can be made to be compatible by design and regulation. As conditioned, the use will not pose a threat to surrounding uses in that the church will conduct congregational activities during the hours that the majority of the other businesses will be closed. That adopted guidelines for Churches in Industrial Districts as adopted by Planning Commission (Resolution No. 2715) have been satisfied as conditioned. That the granting of the variance to reduce the required on-site parking from 204 spaces to 103 spaces at 2472 Walnut and to reduce the required on-site parking from 167 to 66 at 2492 Walnut in order to provide for joint parking for the church, can be supported by the following findings: ae There are special circumstances applicable to the location and the proposed use of the property, in that the church will provide for a shared parking agreement with the adjacent property (2492 Walnut). While only 103 spaces can be permanently allocated for the church, the adjacent property owner has agreed to provide the remaining 101 spaces on his site which would be limited to weekdays after 6 p.m. and on Sundays. Therefore according to the parking demand study, with minor limitations both sites will be capable of providing their required parking during hours of operation. 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. 2720 January 8, 1990 Page three · B· The applicants are not being granted special privileges since the peak parking demand created by the two sites are anticipated to be primarily at different hours, and adequate parking is available given the shared parking agreement. C· The granting of this variance request will not have a negative impact on surrounding properties as the anticipated peak parking demand can be provided for, given the operation times of the existing businesses, and anticipated operational times of future tenants of 2492 Walnut Avenue. Additionally, the arrangement of the buildings provides for reciprocal access and therefore encourages shared parking when an overflow of parking is present on the various parcels. Additionally, the conditions of approval include mitigation measures which specifically address potential parking difficulties. De The variance is consistent with the city's General Plan which not only encourages orderly and harmonious development but also provides language to justify the intent to allow flexibility in Planned Community areas. In this case it is an issue of shared parking. That adequate separation exist between churches in the immediate vicinity as evidenced by the closest approved church which is over 1,600 feet away from the subject location. 1 2 3 4 5 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. 2720 January 8, 1990 Page four · A Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No. 2719) . II. The Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit 89-38 and Variance 89-20, authorizing establishment of a church and reduce the on-site parking requirement from 204 to 103 spaces on property located at 2472 Walnut Avenue and by Tustin Corporate Park Ltd. to reduce its required parking from 167 spaces to 66 spaces at 2492 Walnut in order to provide a joint parking agreement with said church.
