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 1101 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 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. d. 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. Resolution No. 4207 Page 2 e. Policy 10.1: 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.

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 property values and increase economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants. f. Assure that new construction and subdivision of lots in the Cultural Resource District are compatible with the character of the district. g. 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. 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. Resolution No. 4207 Page 3 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: I ) 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 (Rl) 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 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 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 AN—MI, of parking spaces will be required to be provided at an approved off- site parking lot to accommodate parking needs. 8) The Tustin Police and Public Works Departments have reviewed the application and have no immediate concerns. 1. 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.
