On January 5, 1999, the City Council considered Zone Change 98-002 (Ordinance No.
1205) and directed staff to prepare a resolution of denial for the Council's consideration.
Resolution No. 99-11 contains findings for denying Zone Change 98-002 without
prejudice. This would allow the Council to provide direction at a later time to reconsider
the Zone Change, if deemed appropriate.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
CALIFORNIA DENYING, WITHOUT PREJUDICE, ZONE CHANGE 98-002, A
PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL TUSTIN ZONING MAP AND
APPLY THE CULTURAL RESOURCE OVERLAY DISTRICT TO THE
PROPERTIES SHOWN IN EXHIBIT A.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The. City Council finds and determines:
mo
That the original Cultural Resource District was approved by the City Council
through the adoption of Ordinance No. 1001 on June 20, 1988 to recognize,
preserve, protect and use culturally significant structures, natural features, sites and
neighborhoods within the City of Tustin in the interest of the health, safety,
prosperity, social and cultural enrichment and general welfare of City residents.
Bo
That Tustin City Code Section 9252e provides designation procedures for the
establishment of cultural resource districts.
Co
That public workshops on the subject of the potential expansion of the Cultural
Resource Overlay District were held on February 24, 1998 and March 21, 1998.
That Public Hearings were duly noticed, called and held on Zone Change 98-02
by the Cultural Resource Advisory Committee on August 11, 1998 and September
8, 1998; the Planning Commission on October 26, 1998 and November .9, 1998;
and by the City Council on January 5, 1999.
Eo
This project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15270
of the California Environmental Quality Act, which states that CEQA does not
· apply to projects rejected or disapproved by a public agency.
Fo
That the proposed Zone Change is consistent with the Tustin General Plan,
including the General Plan policy to "Study the potential expansion of the Cultural
Resource Overlay District north of First Street to Irvine Boulevard."
G°
That the City's Historical Resources Survey Report, dated July 1990, recommends
that the residential area between First Street and Irvine Boulevard be considered for
two separate potential cultural resources districts.
Ho

'I.
Tustin's original City limits, but contains only 74 of the 271 structures listed in the
City's Historical Resources Survey.
That the area of the proposed zone change contains only 54 of the 271 structures
listed in the City's Historical Resources Survey. Only 43 of the 54 structures are
considered contributing structures. Eleven of the historic structures have "D"
ratings because they have been significantly altered.
J.
That the residential area between First Street and Irvine Boulevard contains a group
of historic homes that have the potential to be an asset to the existing Cultural
Resource District. Consideration for establishing a district in this area may be
appropriate in the future.
r.
That only a portion of the homes within the proposed Cultural Resource Overlay
District embody distinctive characteristics of' style, type, period, or method of
construction, or are a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or
craftsmanship, in that the area contains a limited collection of Spanish Colonial
Revival, Cali£omia Bungalow, Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Period Revival and
Victorian-Italianateresidences, most of which were built between 1915 and 1928.
C.
That the proposed zone change would require that all properties within the zone
change area be subject to the Certificate of Appropriateness process. This process
would create an additional level of regulation which is not justified at this time in
the subject zone change area based on the small nUmber of highly significant
historic structures in the proposed zone change area.
The City Council hereby denies, without prejudice, Zone Change 98-02, a proposal to
amend the official Tustin Zoning Map and apply the Cultural Resource Overlay District to
the properties shown and attached hereto as Exhibit A.
PASSED AND ADOPTED bY the City Council of the City of Tustin at a regular meeting held on
the 19* day of January, 1999.
