PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE UPDATED EDITION OF THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE WITH LOCAL MODIFICATIONS Rick Brown, Building Official, introduced Karen Bozarth, orange County Fire Department, who was available to answer questions. Council/staff/Fire Department representative discussion followed regarding the impacts of the code modifications to the building industry; analysis of post utilization of home fire sprinklers; lack of retrofit mandates; and provisions applicable to remodels. Rick Brown, Building Official, clarified that the current ordinance would require sprinklers in a single family residence when that residence exceeded 6,000 square feet in area. At the request of the Fire Department, staff added two options: sprinklers required in all new residential occupancies; or, sprinklers required in structures greater than 3,600 square feet, with travel distance in excess of five minutes from a fire station, and/or the structure location was 2.5 miles from a fire station. Mayor Potts opened the Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m. There were no speakers on the subject and the Public Hearing was closed. It was moved by Thomas, seconded by Pontious, to adopt Resolution No. 93-14 setting forth findings in conformance with State law for certain local modifications and changes to the Uniform Fire Code. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, questioned if the motion was for all new one and two family dwellings or only those over 3,600 square feet. Councilmember Thomas responded for all new one and two family dwellings. Motion carried 5-0. It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Thomas, that Ordinance No. 1104 have first reading by title only. Motion carried 5-0. Following first reading by title only of Ordinance No. 1104 by the City Clerk, it was moved by Puckett, seconded by Thomas, that the following Ordinance No. 1104 be introduced: ORDINANCE NO. 1104 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING SPECIFIC SECTIONS OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE, 1991 EDITION, WITH APPENDICES AND THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE STANDARDS, 1991 EDITION, WITH AMENDMENTS THERETO AS THE FIRE PROTECTION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN Motion carried 5-0. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, noted the difference between the proposed and optional wording and clarified with the maker and second of the motion their intent to require sprinklers in all new family dwellings. Councilmember Saltarelli said he was unclear and requested further clarification of the motion. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, stated the proposed wording stipulated that all new one and two family dwellings must be approved with automatic sprinkler systems. The optional wording required fire sprinklers in all new one and two family dwellings over 3,600 square feet, when the structure location exceeded a maximum response time of five minutes from the first -due fire station, and/or the structure CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 5-3-93 was located 2.5 miles or greater from the first -due fire station. Councilmember Saltarelli stated he was opposed to requiring automatic fire sprinklers in all new one and two family dwellings at this time due to construction expense. Mayor Potts recalled the vote on the original motion. It was moved by Thomas, seconded by Pontious, to adopt Resolution No. 93-14 setting forth findings in conformance with State law for certain local modifications and changes to the Uniform Fire Code requiring installation of fire sprinklers in all one and two family dwellings. Motion failed 2-3, Potts, Saltarelli, Puckett opposed. Further Council/staff discussion followed regarding clarification of the proposed and optional wording. It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Puckett, to adopt the following Resolution No. 93-14 requiring all new Group R, Division 3 detached one and two family dwellings to be equipped with an approved automatic residential sprinkler system if the structure was 3,600 square feet or greater including attached garage; the structure's location exceeded a maximum response time of five minutes from the first -due fire station; and/or the structure was located 2.5 miles or greater from the first -due fire station: RESOLUTION NO. 93-14 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, SETTING FORTH FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO LOCAL CONDITIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF TUSTIN WHICH MAKE CERTAIN MODIFICATIONS AND CHANGES TO THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE REASONABLY NECESSARY FOR HOUSING OCCUPANCIES Council/staff discussion followed regarding the exclusion of multi -family dwellings from the fire sprinkler requirement. Councilmember Thomas stated that he was uncomfortable with the wording of Ordinance No. 1104, specifically requiring sprinklers only in dwellings exceeding 3,600 square feet and he believed everyone should be afforded equal fire safety regardless of the size of the residence. He requested a review of mandatory fire sprinklers in the future. Mayor Potts noted that builders offered sprinklers as an option and, because of the economy and the cost of installation, he was opposed to mandatory fire sprinklers in every residence. Motion carried 4-1, Thomas opposed. 460-50 Councilmember Pontious requested this item be reviewed in the future, believed requiring fire sprinklers in dwellings over 3,600 square feet was a positive step, and noted that statistics indicated fire sprinklers increased the chance of surviving a fire. Mayor Potts stated that fire safety was an important part of youth education. 2. ZONE CHANGE 93-001 (IRVINE COMPANY) Dan Fox, Senior Planner, reported that the applicant, The Irvine Company, was proposing to amend the East Tustin Specific Plan (ETSP) to accommodate a new single family detached residential product described by the applicant as "Patio Homes." The proposed amendments identified "Patio Homes" as a conditionally permitted use within the Medium and Medium -High land use designations of the ETSP allowing up to 15 dwelling units per acre. He summarized the proposed amendments including: private courts/streets; general development standards; and parking. He stated the Planning CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4, 5-3-93 Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments. Councilmember Thomas voiced concern regarding adequate parking and noted that a four-bedroom patio home would accommodate larger families and potentially more vehicles per family. Council/staff discussion followed regarding 2.5 parking spaces per four-bedroom units; CC&R's vehicle limitations; minimum unit size in estate low/medium low districts; cluster developments; and number of units per acre for this project. Councilmember Saltarelli stated it was important to note that the Tustin Ranch area offered perspective buyers a variety of properties. Families with children who drove would require homes with 3 -car garages, and larger driveways and streets. If that product was not affordable, they should seek housing in other areas, rather than impose the problems on developers and cities. Mayor Potts opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. The following member of the audience spoke in favor of Zone Change 93-001: Mike LeBlanc, The Irvine Company representative There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:50 p.m. It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Saltarelli, to approve the environmental determination for the project by adopting the following Resolution No. 93-46: RESOLUTION NO. 93-46 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THAT FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) FOR THE EAST TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN (FINAL EIR 85-2, AS MODIFIED BY SUBSEQUENTLY ADOPTED SUPPLEMENTS AND ADDENDA) IS ADEQUATE TO SERVE AS THE PROGRAM EIR FOR ZONE CHANGE 93-001 AND ALL FEASIBLE MITIGATION MEASURES HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT Further Council/staff discussion followed regarding parking concerns; parking restrictions stipulated in homeowner association CC&R's; and review of parking restrictions on a case-by-case basis. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, stated that parking for past projects had been reviewed on a case-by-case basis and when necessary, a covenant or deed restriction was incorporated in the CC&R's and enforced by the homeowner associations. Mayor Potts stated that because single family dwellings would be constructed instead of apartments, he would support Zone Change 93-001. Councilmember Pontious stressed the importance that future projects be evaluated for adequate parking conditions on a case-by-case basis. Dan Fox, Senior Planner, noted that the number of four-bedroom units was limited to 30 percent of the project. Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli stated that the lower density per acre would substantially alleviate parking problems. Motion carried 5-0.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL FINDING OF BENEFIT Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, reported that in 1992, the Redevelopment Agency appropriated $550,000.00 in South Central Project Area set-aside funds for implementation of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program. The program provided grants and loans to owners of property within certain targeted areas of the southwest portion of the City; however, some properties targeted for the program were located outside the boundaries of the South Central Redevelopment Project Area. Redevelopment law allowed allocation of Redevelopment funds to areas outside a Project Area's redevelopment boundaries, if beneficial to the Project Area. It was moved by Thomas seconded by Pontious, to adopt the following Resolution No. 93-45 so that housing set-aside funds allocated to the South Central Project Area may be used outside the boundaries of the Project Area for the purpose of increasing, improving, and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing: RESOLUTION NO. 93-45 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THAT THE USE OF TAXES ALLOCATED FROM THE SOUTH CENTRAL PROJECT AREA FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCREASING, IMPROVING AND PRESERVING HOUSING OUTSIDE THE PROJECT AREA WILL BE OF BENEFIT TO THE PROJECT Motion carried 5-0. 630-20 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9, 5-3-93 BUS STOP SHELTERS Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, reported that in July 1991, Council referred the issue of advertising bus shelters to the Planning Commission for recommendation. At that time, the City's sign code prohibited placement of bus shelters with advertising displays in any public safety area or in the public right-of-way. However, based on direction by the Planning Commission, a revised Sign Code was adopted in October 1991, which permitted certain criteria for advertising displays on bus shelters. She stated that recently staff had been contacted by a local advertising bus stop shelter company who wished to proceed with negotiations of a contractual agreement for installation of advertising bus shelters in the City. Since there were at least three major companies currently providing advertising bus shelters under contract to other cities, staff recommended a request for proposal (RFP) process be utilized defining certain guidelines and bus shelter design. Councilmember Thomas questioned whether a request for qualification rather than a request for proposal would be more beneficial to the City because it would emphasize construction, design, and location instead of price. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, responded that the intent of the request for proposal was to solicit proposals from bus shelter companies emphasizing design and location. Councilmember Thomas noted the importance of financially sound vendors who would maintain the bus shelters. Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli stated he favored bus shelters that were aesthetically pleasing and awarding the bid to a vendor that was financially stable and able to maintain the bus shelters. Mayor Potts said he favored constructing covered bus benches because they provided protection from the elements for bus passengers, but requested advertisement controls. Council/staff discussion followed regarding controlling advertisement content; current City ordinance prohibition of alcohol and tobacco advertisement; and allocating revenue generated by bus shelter advertisement to Graffiti Task Force, Tustin Pride Committee, Tustin Community Foundation, or similar community groups. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, clarified that bus shelters in new developments were maintained and installed by subdividers and must be consistent with the architectural design of the area; therefore, emphasis on shelter design would be placed on existing developed areas in the City. It was moved by Thomas, seconded by Pontious, to approve preparation of Request for Proposal. Motion carried 5-0. 690-35 XII. REPORTS 1.
