ORDINANCE NO. 1411
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, IMPLEMENTING MINOR TEXT
AMENDMENTS TO THE TUSTIN CITY CODE TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL CONSISTENCY WITH THE TUSTIN ZONING MAP
The City Council of the City of Tustin ordains:
Section 1. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. That the City of Tustin is proposing Code Amendment 2012-001 to implement minor
text amendments to the Tustin City Code to provide consistency within the Tustin
Zoning Map and other minor corrections.
B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application on
February 14, 2012, by the Tustin Planning Commission. Following the public
hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 4187 recommending that the
Tustin City Council approve Code Amendment 2012-001 by adopting Ordinance No.
1411.
C. That on March 6, 2012, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held before
the City Council concerning Code Amendment 2012-001 (Ordinance No. 1411).
D. That Ordinance No. 1411 is exempt from environmental review under CEQA
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines since it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment. This revision has no possibility for significant
effect on the environment; therefore, Ordinance No. 1411 is not subject to CEQA.
E. That Code Amendment 2012-001 (Ordinance No. 1411} is considered minor,
proposes no revisions that would alter the development potential of any property in
the City, and is therefore consistent with the Tustin General Plan.
Section 2. Sections 9211 through 9214 of Part 1 of Chapter 2 of Article 9 of the Tustin City

district of said property at the same time that the annexation of such territory becomes
effective. Any territory hereafter included within the City of Tustin, which, at the time of
its annexation becomes effective does not have a zoning district designated by
prezoning, shall be designated by the district which the territory bore under the County
Zoning Ordinance, provided this Chapter has a district bearing the same designation.
Any such land which did not bear a designation under the County Zoning Ordinance
which is contained in this Chapter shall be designated as being in the "U", or
Unclassified District.
9214 -ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS
