PUBLIC HEARING FOR ZONE CHANGE 99-002 AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 99-005
SUMMARY: Zone Change (ZC) 99-002 and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 99-005 are
requests to amend the East Tustitt ~luto Center planned Community Regulations to allow
ancillary banquet facilities subject to approval of a conditional use permit in the Tustin Auto
Center and to establish a banquet facility at 36 Auto Center Drive. On May 24, 1999, the
Planni/~g Commission recommended that the City Council approve this project.
Applicattt/Property Owner: MacPherson Properties
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 99-41 adopting the Negative Declaration for this project; and,
,
,
Introduce and have the first reading of Ordinance No. 1217 approving Zone
Change 99-002 and set for second reading at the Council's next scheduled
meeting.
Adopt Resolution No. 99-45 approving Conditional Use Permit 99-005.
BACKGROUND
The proposed zone change is a request to allow banquet facilities as ancillary uses within
the East Tustin Auto Center Planned Community Development subject to approval of a
conditional use permit. The zone change would be applicable to the area north of the I-5
Freeway between Tustin Ranch Road and Myford Road known as the Tustin Auto Center.
While the zone change would be effective within the entire planned community, the
applicant is proposing to establish a banquet facility in an existing three-story structure
developed for auto showroom/museum and auto services at 36 Auto Center Drive (see
Location Map). Plans for construction of the automobile showroom and service facility
City Council Report
ZC 99-002

were approved by the Planning Commission on November 24, 1997. The project has
been constructed and is currently being used as an auto storage facility.
On May 24, 1999, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Zone Change 99-
002 and Conditional Use Permit 99-005 (see Attachment B - Minutes/Planning
Commission Resolutions).
DISCUSSION
Zone Change
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the East Tustin Auto Center Planned
Community Regulations to allow ancillary banquet facilities (6,000 square feet in gross
floor area) in the area known as the Tustin Auto Center. A variety of auto sales and auto
service uses are permitted and conditionally permitted by the East Tustin Auto Center
Planned Community Regulations.
Typically, assembly uses such as social halls are conditionally permitted to ensure
adequate review of potential impacts related to parking, traffic and noise. Staff
recommends that banquet facilities be conditionally permitted to ensure adequate review
of associated potential impacts.
Approval of the zone change would amend Section V(C) of the East Tustin Auto Center
Planned Community Regulations to permit ancillary banquet facilities (less than 6,000
square feet) subject to a conditional use permit and set forth provisions related to
parking, temporary uses, and signage (see Exhibit A of Ordinance 1217).
A decision to approve the zone change can be supported by the following findings:
.
The proposed zone change to permit ancillary banquet facilities, subject to approval
of a conditional use permit, is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that the site
is located within a Planned Community Commercial/Business land use designation.
This land use designation provides for a mixture of uses and activities such as
commercial, service, and office uses.
,
Banquet facilities are compatible with the commercial character of the East Tustin
Auto Center.
,
As a conditionally permitted use, the impacts of each ancillary banquet facility
would be evaluated on case by case basis.

Conditional Use Permit
The proposed banquet facility would be located on the ground level of an existing three
level parking structure/auto museum. The ground level would contain the seating area for
the banquet facility, food preparation area, offices, gift shop, restrooms, and auto
display/museum area (see Floor Plan). The second and third levels would provide parking
for the facility and car storage for the existing sales operation. Access to the site is
provided from Auto Center Drive which connects to Tustin Ranch Road and El Camino
Real (see Site Plan).
The applicant is proposing to use the banquet facility for events with a maximum of 375
persons up to four (4) times a week. The facility would have varied operating hours with
events occurring from several hours to all day depending upon the demand.
All food and beverages served in the facility are proposed to be provided by catering
services. No cooking facilities are proposed. Catering service providers are required to
obtain all applicable permits from the Orange County Department of Health and State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control requires a permit for every catering event. A condition has been included to ensure
that the caterers hired by the applicant or patrons are in compliance with all applicable
regulations and a permit is obtained for each event.
Parking and Traffic
Access to the banquet facility is provided by a driveway aisle which extends from Auto
Center Drive to the surface parking on the west and the main entrance to the parking
structure to the south. A total of 332 parking spaces are existing on-site including 226
parking spaces in the parking structure and 106 surface parking spaces. Parking provided
on site is allocated as follows: -
Customer Parking
Employee Parking
Museum and Office Parking
Total Required
6 spaces
44 spaces
151 spaces
201 spaces
Total Provided
324 spaces
Excess Parking Available For Banquet Events
123 spaces
Assembly uses generally require one (1) parking space for every three (3) persons.
Although the applicant is proposing a maximum of 375 persons, given a total of 123
excess parking spaces, a maximum of 369 persons could be accommodated at a banquet
event. Condition Nos. 3.1 and 3.7 are included to require compliance with the maximum
City Council Report
ZC 99-002
June 7, 1999
Page 4
number of 369 patrons at each event and to ensure that adequate on-site parking remains
available for event parking. In addition, if insufficient parking or traffic capacity is observed
on site or at the intersections and streets serving the area, Condition No. 3.9 requires the
applicant to conduct a parking/traffic analysis and address any deficiencies identified by
the study.
The applicant has indicated that, on occasion, there may be as many as 600 to 700 people
attending one event. Based on the limited number of on-site parking, large indoor or
outdoor gatherings could be considered on a case by caSe basis with approval of a
Temporary Use Permit (TUP). Four times a year (one per calendar quarter), the applicant
could request to use the facility for banquet events that may exceed the 369 persons limit.
On those occasions, the applicant would be required to provide either parking on adjacent
properties or valet parking to accommodate the additional patrons.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Exhibit A of Resolution No: 99-41 is the Initial Study/Negative Declaration prepared for this
project. Notice of the Negative Declaration public comment period was provided from April
29, 1999, through May 21, 1999. No significant impacts were identified and .no public
comments were received.
ANALYSIS
In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, the City Council must
determine whether or not the proposed banquet facility will be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing in or working in the
neighborhood or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements in
the vicinity or to the welfare of the City. -
A decision to approve this request could be supported by the following findings:
1)
That operation of the proposed banquet facility, as conditioned, will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, 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, as evidenced by the
following findings:
a)
The proposed facility, as conditioned, would not be-detrimental to, or have a
negative effect on, surrounding properties in that the proposed facility is
located within a commercial business center where sufficient traffic capacity
and parking is available.
City Council Report

b)
c)
The proposed use, as conditioned, will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working
in the neighborhood in that all activities would take place within an enclosed
building. Requests for outdoor events would be considered on a case by
case basis and would be limited to four times a year (one per calendar
quarter).
All food and beverage services are provided by catering services and
operate in accordance with the requirements of the applicable regulatory
agency such as the Orange County Health Services and the State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[-] I find that although the Proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[-'] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one
effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and
2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached

An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects 1) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated

D. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Directions
A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each qt~estion. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects
like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact"answer should be
explained where it is based on project-specific factors and general standards (e.g., the project will not expose
sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
All answers must take into account the whole action involved, including off-site, on-site, cumulative project level,
indirect, direct, construction, and operational impacts.
Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must
indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant.
"Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If
there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, and EIR is
required.
',Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant
Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect
to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-
referenced).
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3)(D). In this case, a brief
discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review..
b)
Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of
and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether
such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c)
Mitigation MeasureS. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,''
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential
impacts (e.g., general plans,' zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached' and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies
normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in
whatever format is selected.
The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and,
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMEN'I..~.. IMPACTS
I. AESTHETICS- Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining
whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of
Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which,
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
IlL AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality management
or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the
following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable
air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially
to an existing or projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air
quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?

The amendment would allow establishment of banquet facilities within the planned
development of Tustin Auto Center with approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the
Planning Commission. The amendment would apply to 55 acres of land containing twelve
parcels included in the East Tustin Auto Center Planned Development bounded by
Interstate 5 to the south, El Camino Real to the north, Tustin Ranch Road on the west
and Myford Road on the east.
The proposed facility would be part of an existing three level structure containing an auto
showroom/ museum and auto service. The museum, offices and auto services are
located at ground level. Level two and three provide parking for the facility in addition to
car storage. There is no physical development as part of the amendment. The banquet
facility would be provided in the area designated as auto museum at the ground level of
the existing, structure approximately 5,500 square feet in area. A food preparation area
and public restrooms would be available for patrons. No cooking facilities are proposed.
Caterers will provide all food and beverages served on site. Catering services are
required to obtain all applicable permits from the Orange county Department of Health
and State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
1. AESTHETICS
Items a through d -"No Impact": The project is located in a developed urban area
and will not have a substantial adverse effect on. a scenic vista nor will it
substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcropping, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway, nor will it
substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings. The proposed facility is located in an existing building and nb new
development is proposed. Future proposals for banquet facilities conditionally
allowed by the zone change would be considered on a case by case basis for
aesthetics impacts.

Sources: Field Observations
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None Required
9. LAND USE AND PLANNING
Items a through c - "No Impact": The proposed facility is located in an area
designated by the General Plan Land Use Map as Planned Community.
Commercial/Business. The Planned Community Commercial/Businessdesignation
provides opportunities for a mixture of uses compatible with activities permitted
with commercial, office and industrial development when all location, land use and
building standards are within the character of the surrounding and standards are
governed by a planned community district regulations. Banquet facilities are
consistent with uses in the Commercial/Business land use designation in that they
are a service-oriented activity serving a community wide area. The proposed zone
change does not conflict with the City of Tustin General plan. The amendment to
the East Tustin Auto Center planned community regulations would allow banquet
facilities with approval of a conditional use permit, therefore, future proposal would
be considered on a case by case basis. The project will not physically divide an
established community nor it conflicts with any applicable habitat conservation
plan. Future proposals for banquet facilities conditionally allowed by the zone
change would be considered on a case by case basis for impacts on land use and
planning.

NOISE
Items b, e, and f- "No Impact": The proposed banquet facility is located within
the Tustin Auto Center. The project will not expose persons to noise levels in
excess of standards established in the general plan, noise ordinance, or excessive
groundborne vibrations, nor will it create a substantial permanent increase in the
existing ambient noise levels. Future proposals for banquet facilities allowed by
the zone change would be considered on a case by case basis.
The East Tustin Auto Center including the proposed banquet facility is not located
within an airport land use plan or vicinity of a private airstrip.
Sources:
Tustin City Code
Tustin General Plan
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None Required
Item a, c and d -"Less than Siqnificant": The proposed banquet facility may result
in utilization of the site for longer hours with more patrons attending events that
could potentially increase the ambient noise level in the vicinity of the project.
However, since all activities will take place within an enclosed building, no
significant ambient noise will be generated. In addition, the proposed banquet
facility site is located within a large commercial site adjacent to the 5- Freeway with
substantial auto related and traffic noise that any noise generated would not have
any impacts on the residential neighborhoods in the vicinity of the project.
Conditions of approval will include a condition ensuring that no outdoor gatherings
would be associated with the approval of the proposed facility. Future proposals
will be considered on a case by case basis for any potential noise impacts to the
neighboring properties.

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC
Item a and f) -"Less than Siqnificant Impact With Mitiqation": Access to the
proposed area affected by the zone change is provided by Auto Center Drive, with
Tustin Ranch Road as the major intersection adjacent to the project. All potential
traffic impacts related to this facility have been identified in a previous EIR 84-2 for .
the auto center certified in January, 1985. The proposed site for the banquet
facility has been additionally reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer for potential
traffic impacts. No impacts have been identified.
Parking impacts were considered based on the number of on-site parking. The
parking structure contains 226 parking spaces. The parking provided on the site is
· allocated as following:
Customer Parking
Employee Parking
Museum and Office Parking
Total Provided
6 spaces
44 spaces
151 spaces
324 spaces
Excess Parking available
For Banquet Events
123 spaces
Assembly uses generally require one parking space for every three persons.
'Therefore considering the excess on-site parking, a maximum number of 369
people can be accommodated in a banquet event. A condition has been included
to ensure compliance with the maximum number of 369 at every event.
Four times a year, the applicant can request to use the facility for banquet events
that may exceed the 369 persons limit. On those occasions, the applicant would
be required to provide either parking on adjacent properties or valet parking to
accommodate the additional patrons. Conditions of approval would ensure that
adequate on-site parking would be available. In the event that insufficient parking
or increased traffic to the intersections and streets serving the area is observed,
the applicant would be required to conduct a parking/traffic analysis and address
any deficiency identified by the study.
