Many residents of the City of Tustin had never seen the inside of this home, let alone knew of its very existence. its location on the portion of Pasadena Avenue that is uniquely a double cul -de -sac makes it hard to find ,unless you know where you are going. We fully recognize that along with a home of this importance comes an immense responsibility to safeguard and preserve a home like this for the cultural and architectural heritage of the City of Tustin. Following this event, we invited many of our new found friends and those who appreciate this home's past to become docents for our home. There are approximately 20 individuals who makeup the Wilcox Manor docent Guild, each having been trained on the nuances of the historic nature of the home, its contents and the grounds, they take turns telling the story of the home to our guests at charitable events. o &ITamgthan and nalo borhood PTidz Zm`I @ ZanZe o °t idan U y b2zsd on ohs rrscognition and u a o'l cuKurai resouresz. We have hosted and fully funded numerous charitable events for many of the City's charitable organizations with a specific focus of strengthening civic and neighborhood pride and instilling a sense of identity based on the recognition and use of our cultural resources. We /believe this has encouraged the general public's knowledge, understanding and appreciation of our City's historic past and appreciation of the cultural resource that Wilcox manor has become. In the nearly 5 years that we have owned this property, approximately 20, 000 people have come to tour its fully restored interiors and walked the constantly evolving landscaped gardens.

Wa have worked tirelessly not only to promote our home for private and public enjoyment, but we believe we are inspiring and encouraging others to follow our example to use and presenle culturally significant homes in City for the ongoing education and recreation of the citizens of Tustin and visitors to the City. W1e know that many visitors might never have come to Tustin, let alone Wilcox Manor because of our professions and work in other parts of California. We hava had many visitors from outside of California and at least a dozen countries as well. 5. Enhance the vlsu�� and chama �aT, diversity of architeclu 'Ta� styles and aesthetic appa,,O of Vhs Owning a historic residence under Mills Act Contract requires ongoing renovation and restoration to continue enhancing the visual and aesthetic character. As we do this we CUP 2012 -10 October 9, 2012 Page 8 know that we are supporting the diversity of VVilcox Manor's architectural style and the aesthetic appeal of the City of Tustin. 10istric� 27z, ©T 2hs i s�i�so Ever mindful of the responsibility, we added a two -car garage as new construction in 2009. VVo worked with our architect to match the garage design to that of the house. This was done so effectively that most people ere unaware that it is new constTuction. As we reside in a historic home, we have worked closely with the City of Tustin to resolve the lack of permits from previous owners and address safety and code violations of this home for the longterm by bringing structures up to code and participating in the Mills Act program thus strengthening the ties to this City's cultural and architectural heritage and increasing the value of the property as well.

Thankfully, we are mare from recent appraisal data that we have greatly enhanced the property's valve and feel strongly that this has impacted our neighbors' home values as well. We believe this is far-reaching and the potential economic and financial benefit translates to the greater City of Tustin and its inhabitants. Our philanthropic activities predate ownership of this property by many years. So we are not new to the importance of sharing what one has to benefit others. From the start, we have shared our home as a location for charities to benefit by hosting an event or fundraiser. We know that it is very costly to past on an event in a hotel or other similar venue. The cost of a unique venue is really just one aspect; we always include tables, chairs, linens, table and glassware as well as all of the serving stations. We know that on average this has saved each organization from $0 -5000. By including all of the rental ;terns it has enabled them to maximize the funds they raise. Please refer to Exhibit C for a more detailed overview and impact of our charitable activity over the past 4 years. Our goal of having a conditional use permit approved for Wilcox Manor is to allow us to continue our philanthropic activities and at the same time allow us to charge for groups wishing to hold a wedding, birthday party, or corporate event at Wilcox Manor We are seeking approval of this conditional use permit to allow us the ability to hold 24 paid events ,Der veer These will consist of wedc.ings or similar celebrau`o;� evcoots. o onus conditional use permit is not seeking permission for food preparation or for us to be licensed to serve alcoholic beverages. Any groups will engage and pay separately for caterers with proper licenses and approved offsite- cooking facilities directly. For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests the maximum guest accommodation is 200 persons without a dance floor or 950 persons with a dance floor We currently have plans in the queue for approval to allow us to increase the number and type of restroom facilities on the property to accommodate both the volume as well as anyone attending who may have special needs.

We have held several Royal High Tees, hosted chamber musicians, classical voice performers and , entire symphony orchestra, a magician and other types of entertainment to Gravy 9 asu`s in for the purposes of raising funds for the commuanity. each time that we have opened thus home to the community we are conscious of the fact that we are mere caretakers of the property until this property passes along to the next caretaker. We have taken very specific stops over the ,years to ensure that this property will always be used for the benefit of the community as a cultural and historical heritage. For purposes of this conditional use permit application, it is important to proactively address any and ail] possible impacts to the surrounding neighbors and greater community by the following: Parking and traffic flow concerns are addressed in "Exhibit A" with offske parking, guests receiving instructions with their mailed invitations, posting of suns on the day of events and the provision of courtesy shuttles. Our noise minimization plan is reflected in "Exhibit 3 ". Charitable events and the twenty -four (24) paid events will follow the same rules regarding the size of event allowed and the need to follow the parking and traffic flow plans. We have addressed the areas that could potentially negatively impact the community while making it possible for the com munity to enjoy the Cultural Resource District and the unique appeal and attraction of a historic residence life Wilcox Manor. A JIVAL L ` -SI S Policy Issues In considering Conditional Use Permit 2312 -13, it is important that the Planning Commission consider and make recommendations to the City Council regarding the potential policy issues related to the approval or denial of Conditional Use Permit 2312 -13. The following policy implications should be considered: i) The appropriateness of assembly uses in residential neighborhoods. 2) Allowing assembly uses in the Cultural Resource District, and the factors that may influence the establishment of a precedent. 3) The appropriateness of using ors -site parking lots and associated shuttle services when deemed appropriate through tho approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed use of the residential property at 313 South Pasadena Avenue for outdoor events would be an ou,utdoor assembly use in a residential neighborhood. ;vents and gatherin -s su -cl` as the Old Town Tustin Promenade Home and Carden `four, the Old Town Tustin Art WaR, and various outdoor weddings and parties have been held in Old Town Tustin homes without significant disruption to the community. These types of events have also occurred in other Southern California cities. In reSSarching this issue, City staff obtainod information from the canes of Orange and Pasadena regarding outdoor events held at historic residences in residential areas. Both of these cities have approved conditional use permits for such uses and have successfully imposed conditions to ensure that the potential impacts of the events are properly mitigated such that neighborhood concerns have been addressed. CUP 2052 -10 October 9, 2012 Page 10 Other assembly uses, such as churches, schools, parks, and playgrounds are conditionally permitted in the Single Family Residential (Rl) zoning district. The appropriateness of assembly uses in residential neighborhoods may depend or several factors, including: 1) the type, intensity, and frequency of the use, 2) whether the neighborhood is predominantly single or multiple family residential, 3) the size of the lot, 4) the sensitivity of adjacent uses, 5) which mitigation measures are required, 6) the ability to secure adequate off-site parking, and 7) the level of experience and professionalism of the operators of the assembly use. All of these factors could influence whether or not a general precedent is established. jNot all parcels or neighborhoods would be conducJve to this type of use. Hence, review is on a case by case request and is subject to approval and /or denial of a conditional use permit. In addition to the policy issues, there are several operational issues that may or may not create impacts to the overall enjoyment of property or improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City. These potential impacts relate to noise, parking, traffic, and impacts to historic structures and the district as a whole. Noise The residence at 310 S. Pasadena is adjacent to residential uses in three directions and to the Costa Mesa (SR -55) Freeway to the west. Live entertainment and /or amplified sound are proposed to occur at many, if not all, of the proposed outdoor events. Therefore, several conditions have been proposed to address potential noise impacts on nearby residents. Pursuant to proposed Condition 2.26 of Resolution Flo. 4207, the ambient noise levels resulting from the outdoor events shall not exceed the standards of the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance. In addition, proposed Conditions 2.2-/ through 2.29 of GResoJution Flo. 4207 should further minimize potential noise impacts on adjacent uses by requiring that amplified sound and music cease by 10:00 p.m. and by prohibiting the removal of equipment after 11:00 p.m. Parking and Traffic The applicants have proposed to provide parking at an off -site parking lot. They have made arrangements with the owner of the commercial property at 621 West First Street, and a shuttle service, to provide parking and transportation to and from the event site. The off-site parking lot would not be used for evert parking during business hours of the businesses that utAize the approved off -site parking lot. [because the off -site parking location and arrangements have the potential to change in the future, stag recommends through proposed Condition of Approval 2.7 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 4207, that a parking and traffic management plan for the off -site parking lot be provided a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the first paid outdoor event that utilizes the approved off-site parking lot. The parking and traffic management plan shall be prepared by a registered Traffic Engineer or a registered Civil Engineer with experience in preparing a parking and traffJc management plan. The parking and traffic management plan must emphasize measures that will provide assurance that event attendees will not be parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Additional conditions related to parking have been proposed to minimize potential impacts to the neighborhood, and to ensure that the approved off -site parking lot functions properJy and without significant impacts to neighboring properties or streets. For example, proposed Condition 2.13 of Resolution No. 4297 requires that a minimum of one parking lot attendant or valet be present at the approved off -site parking lot begirning no later than one hour prior to the event and ending once all vehicles have vacated the approved off -site parking lot. Duties of the CUP 2012 -10 October 0, 2012 Page I I attendant or valet shall include directing guests, limiting noise, discouraging loitering, and reporting any unusual activities to the applicant, property owner, and/or designated event coordinator. similarly, proposed Condition 2.17 of resolution No. A207 requires a minimum of one event attendant ` 'l® be stationed at the front of 010 S. Pasadena Avenue. Other Conditions of Approval In addition to addressing parking, traffic, and noise, conditions have been included in resolution Flo. 4207 pertaining to the maximum number of events and attendees, litter removal, alcoholic beverage service, lighting, emergency access, restrooms, and other items. These conditions are intended to mitigate any potential impacts related to the proposed use. Furthermore, as nosed in Condition Flo. 1.5, approval of Conditional Use Permit 2012 -10 serves as a pre - citation notice so if any conditions of approval are violated, fines may be assessed by means of an administrative citation as follows: $100.00 for a first violation; $200.00 for a second violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year of the first violation; or $500.00 for a third or any further violation of the same ordinance or ,permit within one year of the first violation. Condition 1.5 of resolution No. 4207 allows for an annual or more frequent review oft Conditional Use Permit 2012 -10 to ensure compatibility with the area and compliance with the conditions of approval. if there is evidence that the use is being operated in a manner inconsistent with the conditions of approval or is creating a nuisance or otherwise negatively or detrimentally affecting surrounding uses, the Community Development Director may i mpose additional conditions to eliminate the nuisance or negative impacts, or may set the matter for hearing before the Planning Commission and the City Council as provided under Tustin City Code Section 0203. At the conclusion of such hearing, the City Council may either revoke the permit or impose additional conditions as the City Council may reasonably determine necessary or convonient to eliminate any nuisance or minimize any negative impacts. General Plan Consistency Conditional Use Permit 2012 -10 is consistent with, and implements, the following General Plan Land Use Element goals and policies: Policy 5.5: Encourage the restoration and rehabilitation of properties in Tustin eligible for inclusion on the National register of Historic Places according t0 the rehabilitation guidelines and tax incentives of the National T gust for Historic Preservation. • Policy 6.5: Preserve historically significant str uctures and sites, and encourage the conservation and rehabilitation of older buildings, sites and neighborhoods that contribute to the City's historic character.

Pasadena Avenue and are not anticipated to result in parking impacts since an adequate number of parking spaces wilt be rewired to be provided at an approved oft -site parking lotto accommodate parking .needs. 3) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no immediate concerns. PF LIBL M INPUT The applicarts submitted 21 letters of support with their application (Attachment A). Eleven (1 1) of the letters are from organizations. Ten (10) of the letters are from individuais, eight (S) of whom reside in Old Town Tustin. lncluded with the letters of support is an exhibit submitted by the applicant that shoes the property locations and names of the neighbors who ,provided letters of support. In addition to the letters of support, staff has also received three pieces of written correspondence (emails) which are included) in Attachment A. One email noted that the Dollar for Scholars, a group that raises money for scholarships for local students, indicates that they were quoted as not supportive of the application and therefore wili not be welcome to the Nlaror for future activities. Two emails were related to websites for catering promoting the Tustin Manor for special events. CUP 2012 -10 October 9, 2012 Page 14 According to the applicants, this information was published by a third party without their authorization and has since beer removed from the catering websites. OP MNS The Commission has several options available in considering the proposed request. The Commission could recommend that the City Courcil approve Conditional Use Permit 2012 -10 determining that the proposed project supports the purposes of the CR District and authorize a maximum of 24 paid outdoor events per year at the existing single family residence at 310 S. Pasadena Avenue. in the alternative, the Commission could direct staff to prepare a resolution recommending that the City Council deny Conditional Use Permit 2012 -10. if it is the Commission's desire to deny the request, findings for the denial of the conditional use permit should be articulated at the public hearing. Lastly, the subject property is the only Single Family (R1) zoned lot located to the west of Pasadena Avenue. Other lots to the west of Pasadena Avenue are zoned Multiple Family Residential (R3) in which social halls, lodges, clubs, etc. are conditionally permitted uses. The Commission in this case may direct staff to evaluate the merits of initiating a Zone Change and General Plan Amendment of the subject property to R3 consistent with adjacent lots which allow social halls, lodges, clubs, etc. with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. This alternative would only allow similar type of uses within the R3 district with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. fW-Scott Reekstir Elizabeth A.

Pasadena, to host weddings and similar events at the facility. Since hosting their first charity event in 2008, Lindburgh McPherson and Michael Demoratz have helped non-profit groups raise in excess of $350,000. Several Tustin area non-profit organizations have benefited from events held at the Wilcox Manor. Mr. McPherson and Mr. Demoratz have not only provided the use of this beautiful, historic home for events, but they have also provided the rental equipment, table and glassware, labor and set up, at their own cost. They have been generous with their home, time, and funds for the benefit of so many in the 'Tustin community and Orange County. Approval of the conditional use permit will enable Mr. McPherson and Mr. Demoratz to offset some of the costs that they incur from activities at their home and to continue to allow the use of the Wilcox Manor for events. Mr. McPherson and Mr. Demoratz have been committed to contributing to their community for many years. I whole-heartedly support their application for a conditional use permit to host events at the historic Wilcox Manor.

As the President of the Tustin Area Historical Society, I believe that our organization is in a unique position to address the merits of such an application. I am intimately familiar with the property, having known the owners, attended numerous charitable events and witnessed the painstaking restoration of this historic property almost from the beginning. The home, prior to Lindburgh McPherson and Michael Demoratz' purchase in 2007, had fallen into disrepair. The landscaping was non-existent, the historic trees nearly dead, the property needed every major system upgraded and or replaced. The fact that it languished on the real estate market for nearly two years is testimony to the fact that anyone purchasing it would have had to invest significantly to make the property livable and safe. In May of 2009, the initial phase of work complete, the house had its debut to the City of Tustin as one of the featured homes on the Tustin Historical Society's Promenade of Homes. Many of the residents of the City of Tustin had never seen the inside of this home, let alone knew of its very existence. Its location on a double cul-de-sac makes it hard to find or stumble upon. As a Historical Society we were thrilled to have a new jewel in the City of Tustin's historic district crown. These gentlemen have recognized the importance of safeguarding and preserving a home of this caliber for the cultural and architectural heritage of the City of Tustin. We recognize their contributions didn't end there — they have hosted and fully funded numerous charitable events for most of our city's charitable organizations, thereby strengthening civic and neighborhood pride and a sense of identity based on the recognition and use of our cultural resources. This has encouraged the general public's knowledge, understanding and appreciation of our city's past. In the nearly 5 years that they have owned this property thousands of people have come to tour its beautifully restored interiors and meticulously landscaped gardens. As members of the Tustin Area Historical Society, they have worked diligently not only to promote their home for private and public enjoyment, but inspired and encouraged many other homeowners to follow their lead to use and preserve culturally significant homes in the city for the ongoing education and recreation of the citizens of Tustin and visitors to the city. Visitors who might never have come to Tustin, let alone Wilcox Manor, have done so because Lindburgh and Michael's reach is far beyond the confines of the City of Tustin. Many events have drawn people from all of the surrounding counties in Southern California. By their painstaking and on-going renovation and restoration they continue to enhance the visual and aesthetic character and diversity of the architectural style of Wilcox Manor and thereby the aesthetic appeal of the City of Tustin. Several years ago they added new construction to the property with a two-car garage. They matched the design so closely that most people sense it too has always been a part of the property. Ever mindful of the fact that they reside in a historic home they worked closely with the City to resolve the lack of permits from previous owners and addressed the safety of this home for the long term by bringing structures up to code and participating in the Mills Act program, thereby strengthening the ties to this city's cultural and architectural heritage. In these tough economic times, real estate has been one severely affected segment of our economy. It is clear to anyone who has been to Wilcox Manor that they have enhanced their property's value and most likely that of their neighbors, thereby increasing the potential economic and financial benefit to the city and its inhabitants. We understand their neighbors are in full support of their Conditional Use Permit request Charitable organizations have also been affected by these financial difficulties. Our organization has been fortunate enough to hold more than one fundraiser at Wilcox Manor over the years. They have been extremely generous in donating the use of their residence for our events. In addition to the venue, they have included tables, chairs, linens, fine tableware, glassware and all of the serving stations as part of the use of the property. This has saved our organization thousands of dollars in additional rental costs and enabled us to maximize the efforts of our volunteers and guests in support of our mission thereby increasing the funds we could net from our events. We know that this has been done at a significant cost to the two gentlemen who own this property. We hope that the approval of this Conditional Use Permit will enable them to offset some of the costs of donating the use to charities like ours. Lindburgh McPherson and Michael Demoratz, the owners of Wilcox Manor, continually demonstrate their commitment to organizations like ours and many others in this community. We fully endorse and support their application for a Conditional Use Permit and trust they will continue to be responsible stewards of this property and continue to enhance the surrounding community at large.

"T2 OMMUNITIV DEVE-90PPe..,9,EgN7 0,EPr To whom it may concern: The Tustin Community Foundation's mission is to enhance and promote philanthropy in the greater Tustin area and Wilcox Manor has certainly aided our efforts, at a significant cost to the two gentlemen who own the property. Communities benefit from nonprofits because the services they provide help individuals, families and the communities in general address local needs and problems. Nonprofits strengthen neighborhoods and build unity. Thus, no one can deny that Wilcox Manor has had a positive impact on Old Town, the City of Tustin and the greater Tustin area. It's not just about fundraising .... Wilcox Manor has been the venue for our Community Volunteer Recognition Luncheon - now called "Superheroes of Tustin" - since it's inception in 2009. This event is not a fundraiser as the Foundation tries to keep ticket prices as low as possible to encourage attendance as individuals in our community who, like the owners of Wilcox Manor, selflessly give to others, are recognized. The luncheon is the best opportunity for organizations, schools and community leaders to network and build relationships to collaborate. Besides not charging a venue rental fee, use of Wilcox Manor includes tables, chairs, linens, fine tableware, glassware and all of the serving supplies as part of the use of the property, saving nonprofits thousands of dollars. This enables the Foundation to break even on this luncheon. Bottom line ... This important annual event would not be possible without the generosity of Wilcox Manor. Attached please find a list of Tustin nonprofits and schools that have attended this luncheon and thus supported the use of Wilcox Manor as a venue. We have had the opportunity to get to know most neighbors and we know that they are in full support of the gentlemen moving forward with the CUP for this property because they have witnessed the thoughtfulness the owners have had for the impact on their street. We took their support into consideration to make our decision and feel you should, too, as it speaks volumes. Everyone involved with the Tustin Community Foundation fully supports the Wilcox Manor CUP application and know that they will continue to be responsible stewards of the property and an important reason that Tustin is such a wonderful place to live, work, volunteer and play. The Board of Directors of the Tustin Community Foundation encourages you to look at their value to our community and approve their application.

Box 12064 Costa Mesa, CA 92627 (949) 646-2520 E C I V August 18, 2012 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter in support of Wilcox Manor obtaining a "Conditional Use Permit" to hold weddings and other similar events at this historical property in Old Town Tustin. I am the President of Family Promise of Orange County. We provide temporary shelter to homeless families through a network of inter-faith congregations. Since opening in February of this year, we have "graduated" several families to sustainable housing of their own, meeting our goal of graduating each family in less than sixty days. Because of Family Promise, the lives of children and families have been improved. We depend solely on donations to operate so we are very careful with our expenses. Our main fundraiser of the year was held on July 28, 2012 at the Wilcox Manor. The owners of the house generously donated the use of their facility for free. Use of a property of that size and quality would easily have cost a few thousand dollars if we had rented a location. The owners of Wilcox Manor also donated the use of tables, chairs, tablecloths, fine tableware, glass ware, hurricane lamps for table decorations, serving stations and serving utensils for the buffet line, microphone system, and advertiser board stands among other items I am probably forgetting to mention. These items would have been very costly to rent. They also met with us beforehand and spent several hours giving us advice in planning the event. Unbelievably, after donating all of the above for free, the hosts donated two dinners for twelve in the dining room of their historic house as part of our live auction.

I do not know of anyone else who would have been so generous. While we paid the cost to clean the tablecloths, we know that that simple payment did not make the owners "whole." Mr. McPherson and Mr. Demoratz were up early the next morning after our event helping us with the incredible work involved in taking down tables and cleaning up after an event for one hundred fifty people. An event for that number caused wear and tear at their property, unavoidable breakage of items, and other cleaning expenses and costs that they absorbed. We hope that the Conditional Use Pen-nit will help them to offset some of their costs of donating the use of their house to charities like ours. Mr. McPherson and Mr. Demoratz are making a positive difference in the community through their tireless efforts to support worthy causes, something even more important in recent years when donations to charities are down. Family Promise fully endorses and supports Wilcox Manor's application. We know that due to their passion for helping others, they will continue to be responsible stewards of the property and the surrounding community at large. If you have any questions or would like to see pictures of our successful event, please call me. 14ej Melody Mosley President, Family Promise 714 329-4989 fif r 4SOUTH COAST MPHONY Barry Slivernian 1111sic Dill-clol-&- Conductor' August 15, 2012 To Whom It May Concern: -AUG �Ckimut,jfry 0TVEL0Rv1EN7 This letter is in support of the Wilcox Manor in Tustin.

Founded in 1996, The South Coast Symphony is a resident orchestra for Orange County. The 70 member Symphony's mission is to provide Orange County's diverse communities with a professional, accessible and affordable symphonic musical experience. The Symphony's eclectic programming is designed to entertain and educate while also attracting a whole new generation of patrons. The Symphony performs a wide variety of orchestra] literature from the Classics and Opera to Light Classics, Broadway and Pops. The Symphony's subscription series venue is at Crossline Church in Laguna Hills. The Symphony will be holding its second Gala this year at the Wilcox Manor to support our educational outreach programs, Koncertsfor Kids. It is only possible through the generosity of Lindburgh McPherson ,-,d Michael Demoratz. They have been most generous in donating the use of the Manor, along with ales, chairs, silverware, glasses, bar equipment, serving stations, dance floor, and the list goes on and on! This has saved us thousands of dollars in expenses making our event possible and profitable. We know that this has been done at a considerable expense to the owners of the Manor. With the approval of the "Conditional use Permit," the Manor will be able to offset some of the costs that allow Michael and Lindburgh to offer the Manor to non-profits such as ourselves.

In addition to the venue, you have included all other amenities required to host a major event: tables, chairs, bars, linens, umbrellas, tableware, flatware, glassware, and in some instances food and spirits. The countless hours you spend in the organization of the events usually goes unnoticed by most.

Our programs include Art Masters, Student Art Invitational, Scholarships, Graphic Design Workshop, and our newest program Artscapes. Our signature event, Broadway in the Park, has been serving the city of Tustin for twelve years. We maintain a low ticket price to ensure that everyone can enjoy this uniquely American musical experience. You continue to demonstrate your commitment to our organization and many others in the community. Because of your steadfast and unwavering support, we have saved $30,000 in expenses for our various events over the past two years. This has allowed us to maximize the efforts of our board members, volunteers and patrons in support of our mission, and has enabled us to offer additional arts-related programs to our community.

They have proven that they are passionate about sharing WlicoN vlanor's history with every guest that has had the privilege of touring their home as well as for .-nsuriniz that the community will be able to celebrate Wilcox Manor's contribution to Tustin's 'qistory for years to come. In addition, they have demonstrated their commitment to the community by providing their property free of charge to local charities, which has greativ increased the amount of money going directly to the charity. Old Town Tustin is a better piac', because of Michael and Lindburgh's generosity and dedication to their community `fie greatly appreciate that Michael and Lindburgh have made us feet a part of the CUP apptication process by keeping us informed of their intentions, by encouraging us to openly share our concerns regarding parking and traffic flow, and by following up with us to share their proposed conditions to alleviate our concerns. As a result, we believe that their proposed conditions to shuttle event patrons (when the guest list is more than 75 people) to and from the off-site parking facility at the Tustin Chamber of Commerce will alleviate the impact of parking ,ind maintain safe traffic flow. Additionally, signage will discourage patrons from parking along 13asadena Avenue and direct them back to the parking location- On August 19, 2012, Michael and Lindburgh performed a trial run of these proposed conditions during a charity event. We were happy to witness that we would not have been able to tell that an event was being heid across the street. By executing these proposed conditions- we believe the residential character (i.e., parking, foot traffic. noise) of Pasadena Avenue is maintained. _n closing, our neighbors on Pasadena Avenue are like members of our extended family. We were able to have our wedding ceremony and reception at Wilcox Manor that included our surrounding neighbors in attendance. As such, we agree that this historical property is the perfect setting to celebrate a momentous occasion. Today we have a stronger sense of community on Pasadena Avenue thanks to Michael and Lindburgh.

Also address integrity.) This property may be eligible for National Register listing if alterations are reversed. This building is significant as an example of the Italianate style and its association with early Tustin residents. The original use of this property was probably a stage stop during the horse drawn era of the 1800s. More recent records indicate that Charles Wheaton Wilcox, early Tustin pioneer, bought a three story hotel, removed one story, and used the remaining building as a residence called "The Villa ". Mr. Wilcox had a large collection of books at the Villa in a eucalyptus wood - paneled library, one of the earliest uses of this wood in the US. Mr. Wilcox was a founder and director of the First National Bank of Tustin. He planted concord grapes on his property at Tustin Avenue and First Street and was an orchardist and amateur horticulturist who was one of the first to graft five varieties of citrus onto one root. With Dr. Wall, W. Wilcox started a packinghouse, the fast in the area, and later formed the Santiago Fruit Growers Association in Change. Other accomplishments include starting the Episcopal Church of Tustin, director of the Santa Ana Abstract Company and receiver of the old Seibert Bank in Santa Ana. The family owned this property from 1893 to 1920 but did not reside at this site since. 1916. Renters occupied the building until John Rinard purchased the home in 1920. Rinard, owner through 1946, converted the house into apartments. The original carriage door has been replaced with aluminum sliding glass doors. BI 1.

'''- Ve would like ho provide you some background on the property in question DaDd respond in advance to some concerns that are typically associated vithan application for conditional use iDa Cultural Resource DiStictaUchaoold7nvD We purchased this home in November 2007, it was the top of the real estate market and prices were beginning to depress. The previous owner had passed away in 2005 and it was deteriorating into disrepair. We viewed it as a diamond in the rough and knew fully what we were going to have to do with the property to make it our own. Still we were given a shock on the day escrow closed that we were advised that our homeowner's insurance policy would not insure us unless we committed to upgrading the electrical panel and rewired the entire property within 30 days. This required completely refinishing every surface in the interior of the property. The landscaping was virtually non-existent except for dead grass and weeds covering the entire property. Non-functioning irrigation systems had to be repaired and replaced. There were several historic trees on the property suffering from lack of water including 2 approximately 150 year old Fuerte'Avocado trees that were near death since rainwater was the only water the property received for many years All major systems needed to be replaced - the plumbing was installed in 1920. The gravity heating system was original to the home and had two temperatures "on sweltering Hot or off freezing cold". We know clearly why the property remained vacant for as long as it did. We performed the overwhelming majority of the physical labor-utilizing professionals for the technical expertise We feel however, the end result essentially speaks for itself, it has been a labor of love that we freely share with our neighbors and community since it is one way that we can fully appreciate what we have accomplished. 1. Safeguard the heritage of the City by preserving neighborhoods, structures, sites and features which reflect elements of the City's cultural, architectural, artistic, aesthetic, political, social, natural and engineering heritage. In May 2009, with the majority of the work complete, we allowed the house its first showing to the community. We participated in as one of the featured homes on the Tustin Historical Society's Promenade of Homes approximately 750 people toured the home that day. 2.Encourage public knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the City's past. Many residents of the City of Tustin, had never seen the inside of this home, let alone knew of its very existence. Its location on the portion of Pasadena Avenue that is uniquely a double cul-de-sac makes it hard to find unless you know where you are going. We fully recognize that along with a home of this importance comes an immense responsibility to safeguard and preserve a home like this for the cultural and architectural heritage of the City of Tustin. Following this event, we invited many of our new found friends and those who appreciate this home's past to become docents for our home. There are approximately 20 individuals who make- up the Wilcox Manor Docent Guild, each having been trained on the nuances of the historic nature of the home, its contents and the grounds, they take turns telling the story of the home to our guests at charitable events. 3. Strengthen civic and neighborhood pride and a sense of identity based on the recognition and use of cultural resources. We have hosted and fully funded numerous charitable events for many of the City's charitable organizations with a specific focus of strengthening civic and neighborhood pride and instilling a sense of identity based on the recognition and use of our cultural resources. We believe this has encouraged the general public's knowledge, understanding and appreciation of our City's historic past and appreciation of the cultural resource that Wilcox manor has become. In the nearly 5 years that we have owned this property, approximately 20,000 people have come to tour its fully restored interiors and walked the constantly evolving landscaped gardens. 4.Promote the private and public enjoyment, use and preservation of culturally significant neighborhoods, structures and sites appropriate for the education and recreation of the citizens of Tustin and visitors to the City. Of the two of us, Lindburgh McPherson has been more involved as a board member v in numerous organizations in the City of Tustin than 1, including the Tustin Area Historical Society, Tustin Preservation Conservancy, Tustin Council for Fine Arts and the Tustin Community Foundation and has become intimately involved in the promotion of the cultural heritage of our community. We have worked tirelessly not only to promote our home for private and public enjoyment, but we believe we have are inspiring and encouraging others to follow our example to use and preserve culturally significant homes in City for the ongoing education and recreation of the citizens of Tustin and visitors to the City. We know that many visitors might never have come to Tustin, let alone Wilcox Manor because of our professions and work in other parts of California. We have had many visitors from outside of California at least a dozen countries as well. 5. Enhance the visual and aesthetic character, diversity of architectural styles and aesthetic appeal of the City. Owning a historic residence under Mills Act Contract requires on-going renovation and restoration to continue enhancing the visual and aesthetic character. As we do this we know that we are supporting the diversity of Wilcox Manor's architectural style and the aesthetic appeal of the City of Tustin. 7. Assure that new construction and subdivision of lots in the Cultural Resource District are compatible with the character of the district Ever mindful of the responsibility, we added a two-car garage as new construction in 2009. We worked with our architect to match the garage design to that of the house. This was done so effectively that most people are unaware that it is new construction. As we reside in a historic home, we have worked closely with the City of Tustin to resolve the lack of permits from previous owners and address safety and code violations of this home for the long term by bringing structures up to code and participating in the Mills Act program thus strengthening the ties to this City's cultural and architectural heritage and increasing the value of the property as well. 6. Enhance property values and increase economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants. The real estate market literally crashed the month following the purchase of this home, making it more of a challenge and financial risk to us as we have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into the restoration and upkeep of Wilcox Manor. Thankfully, we are aware from recent appraisal data that we have greatly enhanced the property's value and feel strongly that this has impacted our neighbors' home values as well. We believe this is far-reaching and the potential economic and financial benefit translates to the greater City of Tustin and its inhabitants. A Our philanthropic activities predate ownership of this property by many years. So we are not new to the importance of sharing what one has to benefit others. From the start, we have shared our home as a location for charities to benefit by hosting an event or fundraiser. We know that it is very costly to put on an event in a hotel or other similar venue. The cost of a unique venue is really just one aspect; we always include tables, chairs, linens, table and glassware as well as all of the serving stations. We know that on average this has saved each organization from $3-5000. By including all of the rental items it has enabled them to maximize the funds they raise. Please refer to Exhibit C for a more detailed overview and impact of our charitable activity over the past 4 years. Our goal of having a conditional use permit approved for Wilcox Manor is to allow us to continue our philanthropic activities at the same time allow us to charge for groups wishing to hold a wedding, birthday party, corporate event at Wilcox Manor. We are seeking approval of this conditional use permit to allow us the ability to hold 24 paid events per year. These will consist of weddings or similar celebratory events. This conditional use permit is not seeking permission for food preparation or for us to be licensed to serve alcoholic beverages. Any groups will engage and pay separately for caterers with proper licenses and approved offsite-cooking facilities directly. For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests the maximum guest accommodation is 200 persons with out a dance floor or 150 persons with a dance floor. We currently have plans in the queue for approval to allow us to increase the number and type of restroom facilities on the property to accommodate both the volume as well as anyone attending who may have special needs. A Identify as early as possible and resolve conflicts between preservation of historic and cultural resources and alternative land uses. Over the almost 5 years that we have owned this wonderful property, we have sought ways to share it with others in our community. We have held several Royal High Teas, hosted chamber musicians, classical voice performers and an entire symphony orchestra, a magician and other types of entertainment to draw guests in for the purposes of raising funds for the community. Each time that we have opened this home to the community we are conscious of the fact that we are mere caretakers of the property until this property passes along to the next caretaker. We have taken very specific steps over the years to ensure that this property will always be used for the benefit of the community as a cultural and historical heritage. For purposes of this conditional use permit application, it is important to proactively addressed any and all possible impact to the surrounding neighbors and greater community by the following: Parking and traffic flow concerns are addressed in "Exhibit A" with offsite parking, guests receiving instruction with their mailed invitation, Posting of signs on the day of events and the provision of courtesy shuttles. Our noise minimization plan is reflected in attachment "Exhibit B". Charitable events and the twenty-four (24) paid events will follow the same rules regarding the size of event allowed and the need to follow the parking and traffic flow plans. We have addressed the areas that could potentially negatively impact the community while making it possible for the community to enjoy the Cultural Resource District and the unique appeal and attraction of a historic residence like Wilcox Manor. 6 i 1 Wilcox Ntanor "Conditional Use Permit" Parking & Traffic Flow Plan As with any large gathering of people, parking may be a primary concern for residents of a neighborhood. Alleviating the impact of parking and maintaining safe traffic flow is a primary concern for the Wilcox Manor as well. Wilcox Manor, through an agreement with ACCESS East County PAR has arranged for event parking to be off-site at a parking lot located � 621 West First Street, Tustin, CA 92780 (see attached photo of the parking lot location). The location is just 3 short blocks from the event site. Most events are typically held during ng non-business hours on weekends from Friday to Sunday night. Guests Of Wilcox Manor will be provided with 2 continuously running courtesy shuttle vans provided by a contracted agreement with PPS Parking & Transportation to transport them to and from the event. Approved parking stacked standards allow the parking lot to accommodate up to 100 vehicles, which adequately cover an event of up to 200 people. Guests of any event will be advised of this parking arrangement through their invitation to the event. Any Guests bypassing this parking location will be redirected back to the site by a large sign posted at the event site (see attached sign). Advising of the location of the lot, the courtesy shuttle and to be respectful of our neighbors and not park on the street. This parking arrangement will be put into place for any event held at Wilcox Manor, Charitable events will be treated the same as a wedding or similar vent in this situation and ua ion be required to have this set-up in advance. The goal will be for our neighbors to have little knowledge or impact of an event held at Wilcox Manor beyond seeing a courtesy van dropping off and picking up guests. This plan will be continually monitored and adjusted to ensure and alleviate any impact to the residents of the community.

The location Of Wilcox Manor is unique in that the rear property line Is is the 55 Freeway CalTrans wall. Additionally, the building structures of Wilcox Manor provide a physical sound barrier to the front and the right side of the property. Additionally the freeway noise emanating from the freeway itself has a similar effect as white noise in the masking of other sounds. Based upon our measurements, it is important to also note that the freeway generally exceeds the noise standards below by 10 -15 dB. The noise standard for residential areas of the City of Tustin is as follows:(taken directly from the Tustin Code of Ordinances) 01SE S" RANI),I.R '-S (a)The following noise standards, unless otherwise specifically Indicated, shall apply to all property within a designated noise zone: EXTERIOR NOISE STANDARDS ----TNoise Level period Noise Level AM Noise Zone I (residential areas) 1 55 dB(A) 17:00 a.m.-10:0o p.m. 50 dB(A) 17:00a.m. 10:00 p.m. 4620 - NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENT CRITERIA Any noise level measurements made pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter shall be performed using a sound level meter as defined in Section iii) I The location selected for measuring exterior noise levels shall be at any point on the affected property. (Ord. jVo. 828, It will be the goal of any and all events held at Wilcox Manor to be within and or exceed the expectations of the communities Published standards for noise. dB 10, a readily available application for iPhone and iPad, will be on hand at all times to ensure that the decibel limits are never exceeded. Therefore, any live, recorded music or voice amplification generated on the property will never begin prior to 11:00 AM and be discontinued by or before 10:00 PM on Friday, Saturday or Sunday Evenings, If, in the unlikely circumstance, an event is held during the time period of Monday to Thursday the Wilcox Manor standard will be to discontinue any creation of music and or voice amplification by 9:00 PM. 1A REC-Ivp[) C , 2 3 281?

If including the in-kind donations made of the venue, all rentals and labor costs that we have made you can assume approximately $3500/event or at minimum for the approximately 25 charitable events held add an additional $87,500.

Charities receive the entire proceeds of the auction. The cost of the 5-7 course meal, all wine and beverages, set-up, clean-up and labor are completely covered by Wilcox Manor. Average cost for these events is $600 or approximately $18,000. In addition to the charitable events we have hosted numerous personal parties for the sole enjoyment benefit of our community, drawing many more to the Cultural Resource District of the City of Tustin. We estimate that we have had more than 20,000 individuals in attendance over the years; these are often people who might never have come to this part of Orange County let alone the City of Tustin. Frequently, they are drawn here to be able to tour a historic home. By extension this has not only exposed them to the unique architectural features of this home, but of the heritage and cultural resources of the City of Tustin. f UST I N Milz OMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT DEPT MICHAE'It DE:MORATz 310 S.

Al _a Rai a�\ =' - ■ A ATTACHMENT E W W W W W W The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit 2012-10 was filed by Mr. Michael Demoratz and Mr. Lindburgh McPherson requesting authorization for a maximum of 24 paid outdoor events per year at the existing single family residence at 310 S. Pasadena Avenue. B. That the site is located in the Single Family Residential District (R1) and Cultural Resource District (CR), and has a Low Density Residential General Plan land use designation. C. That the Low Density Residential land use designation provides for residential uses and a variety of public, institutional, and other uses which are determined to be compatible with, and oriented toward the needs of these neighborhoods. In addition, the project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element. D. That Conditional Use Permit 2012-10 is consistent with, and implements, the following General Plan Land Use Element goals and policies: a. Policy 5.5: Encourage the restoration and rehabilitation of properties in Tustin eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places according to the rehabilitation guidelines and tax incentives of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. b. Policy 6.5: Preserve historically significant structures and sites, and encourage the conservation and rehabilitation of older buildings, sites and neighborhoods that contribute to the City's historic character. c. Policy 6.11: Encourage the establishment of unique identity in the City's neighborhoods. d. Policy 7.1: Broaden the City's tax base by attracting businesses which will contribute to the City's economic growth and employment opportunities while ensuring compatibility with other General Plan goals and policies. Resolution No. 4207 Page 2 e. Goal 10: Improve and strengthen the Tustin Old Town/First Street area with a unique pedestrian environment and diverse mix of goods, services, and uses. f. Policy 10.11: Improve the Old Town District's identity as the City's historical and architectural focus and its contribution to the City's economic base. E. That the purposes of the CR District are as follows: a. Safeguard the heritage of the City by preserving neighborhoods, structures, sites and features which reflect elements of the City's cultural, architectural, artistic, aesthetic, political, social, natural and engineering heritage. b. Encourage public knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the City's past. c. Strengthen civic and neighborhood pride and a sense of identity based on the recognition and use of cultural resources. d. Provide the private and public enjoyment, use and preservation of culturally significant neighborhoods, structures and sites appropriate for the education and recreation of the citizens of Tustin and visitors to the City. e. Enhance the visual and aesthetic character, diversity of architectural styles and aesthetic appeal of the City. f. Enhance property values and increase economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants. g. Assure that new construction and subdivision of lots in the Cultural Resource District are compatible with the character of the district. h. Identify as early as possible and resolve conflicts between preservation of historic and cultural resources and alternative land uses. F. That the proposed outdoor event use, which is a nonlisted use in the CR District, supports the purposes of the CR District and is consistent with and implements Policies 5.5, 6.5, 6.11, 7. 1, and 10.1 and Goal 10 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan in that: a. The proposed use would introduce many first-time Old Town Tustin visitors to Tustin's historic resources which would foster knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of Tustin's past. Resolution No. 4207 Page 3 b. The proposed use would complement and bring recognition to a historic resource, which would promote the identity of Old Town Tustin. c. The proposed use would allow for the enjoyment and use of a locally significant historic property by Tustin citizens and visitors. d. The proposed use has the potential to directly and indirectly generate additional revenue for the City in the form of business license taxes, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax. e. The proposed use could be conditioned to avoid potential conflicts between the events and the surrounding Cultural Resource District. G. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for Conditional Use Permit 2012-10 on October 9, 2012, by the Planning Commission. H. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use 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, nor be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that: 1) The proposed use is authorized pursuant to Section 9252j2(a)(2) of the Tustin City Code with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Tustin City Council, which may consider a proposed nonlisted use of a property within the CR District when the use supports the purposes of the CR District, following a public hearing and recommendation by the Planning Commission. 2) The proposal is consistent with the Single Family Residential (R1) zoning district standards in that other assembly uses such as churches, schools, parks and playgrounds also are subject to conditional use permit approval. The proposed use is appropriate under the General Plan Land Use Element Low Density Residential designation in that similar assembly uses such as churches and schools are allowed when determined to be compatible with the neighborhood. 3) The proposed use is consistent with other private gatherings such as charity events and weddings and with other public gatherings such as home tours and promenades which have occurred on a regular basis without significant disruption in the Cultural Resource District. Resolution No. 4207 Page 4 4) As conditioned, Conditional Use Permit 2012-10 may be reviewed as often as necessary, by the Community Development Director. If the use is not operated in accordance with Conditional Use Permit 2012-10 or is found to be a nuisance or negative impacts are affecting the surrounding uses, the Community Development Director would have the authority to impose additional conditions to eliminate the nuisance or negative impacts or may initiate proceedings to revoke the Conditional Use Permit. 5) The proposed paid outdoor events would be managed by the property owners who have experience hosting many outdoor charity events at 310 S. Pasadena Avenue. The City will rely on the property owners to fulfill the conditions of approval and comply with all Building/Safety Codes. 6) The implementation/application of the proposed conditions would ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding uses and the Tustin City Code. 7) The proposed paid outdoor events would be ancillary to the existing single family residence at 310 S. Pasadena Avenue and are not anticipated to result in parking impacts since an adequate number of parking spaces will be required to be provided at an approved off- site parking lot to accommodate parking needs. 8) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no immediate concerns. That this project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Sections 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and 15303, Class 3 (New Small Facilities) of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. 11. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit 2012-10 authorizing a maximum of 24 paid outdoor events per year at 310 S. Pasadena Avenue, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A attached hereto.
