CUP 01 -024 & Old Town Parking Exception
Page 2
ENVIRONMENTAL:
This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1) of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4255 approving an amendment to
Conditions of Approval for Condition Nos. 1.1, 5.1, 5.2, and 10.3 of Resolution No. 3804
for Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 to allow for second floor office use and authorizing a
parking exception of four (4) parking spaces for the property located at 155 El Caminio
Real.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located within the Central Commercial (C -2) and Cultural Resources (CR)
with Combining Parking (P) zoning district. The General Plan land use designation is Old
Town Commercial which allows for a variety of retail, professional office, service
commercial, and other uses which support the land use. The project site is located on an
approximately 22,487 square foot lot and improved with a 10,464 square foot, two -story
building (Figure 1).

Surrounding uses to the project are commercially zoned and also lie within the Central
Commercial (C -2) and Cultural Resources (CR) with Combining Parking (P) zoning
district, as well as within the First Street Specific Plan (FSSP) zoning district. The
properties to the north within the FSSP are designated for Commercial purposes;
however, the adjacent property to the north is still being utilized as a single family
residence. The abutting property to the south is utilized as a dental office with a service
commercial building fronting El Camino Real. Immediately across El Camino Real is a
three story office building, a portion of the Be[ Air Motor Hotel which fronts First Street,
and a dental office. Behind the property to the east are office uses. Similar mixed use
infill buildings as provided at the subject property are located on the same block at 170
and 195 El Camino Real (under construction). Both of these properties have taken
advantage of various parking exceptions as allowed by the Tustin City Code.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT:
On September 24, 2001, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3804,
approving Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 and Design Review 01 -030, which authorized
the construction of the subject building located at 155 El Camino Real for use by a mail
order business tenant (Attachment D). Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 limits the first
floor to be designated and used only as retail space. The second floor may be used for
limited office use with mail order use. Condition 5.2 of Resolution No. 3804 requires
that any modifications to the use of the building shall require approval of an amendment
to Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 by the Planning Commission.

The applicant, which is also a partial property owner, intends to continue to utilize the
ground floor for retail purposes, but would like to use the second floor entirely for office
purposes (see 2nd Floor Plan). Due to the uniqueness of the previous mail order
business tenant, it has been difficult for the owners to find a similar tenant which would
comply with Conditional Use Permit 01 -024.

2nd Floor Plan
Analysis
The proposed office use limited to the second floor would comply with the City's Central
Commercial office use restrictions along El Camino Real and within the City's Old Town
Commercial General Plan land use designation as required pursuant to Section
927lee(2) of the Tustin City Code. As proposed, the use of the building is consistent
and compatible with other uses within the commercial portions of Old Town Tustin.
There are many multistory buildings in Old Town with ground floor commercial uses and
upper floor office uses. Many of the newer infill projects within Old Town including the
two buildings on the same street block of El Camino Real (170 and 195 El Camino
Real) exhibit the same use as that proposed. It should be noted that traditionally upper
floor offices is a market driven space design due to the lack of visibility, foot traffic, and
accessibility for retail uses on upper floors. Further, it is highly unlikely given the
PC Report
March 25, 2014
CUP 01 -024 & Old Town Parking Exception
Page 5
uniqueness of a mail order business, that a similar use will occupy the building in the
future. Mail order businesses do not typically occupy retail buildings.
PARKING:
The property currently provides thirty -five (35) parking spaces for the building.
Condition 5.1 of Resolution No 3804 approved a unique parking ratio for the mail order
portion of the business which is most similar to a storage parking ratio. A use more
intensive than the mail order operations, such as the proposed office use would require
additional parking spaces. Based on the current City of Tustin Parking Ordinance, a
total of thirty -nine (39) parking spaces are required for the intended use of ground floor
retail and second floor office use.

Parking Exception
On April 3, 2012, the Tustin City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1416 providing an
additional parking exception for the commercial portion of the Cultural Resources District.
This Ordinance provided an exception to the on -site parking requirements by allowing an
applicant to pay a fee to satisfy the number of required parking spaces not provided on
site.
Tustin City Code Section 9352J3(d)(3)(d) implements the aforementioned parking
exception for on -site parking requirements for development proposed within both the
Central Commercial District (C -2) and the Old Town Commercial General Plan land use
designation of the commercial portion of Old Town Tustin. All, or a portion of, the
required number of on -site parking spaces may be satisfied through the payment of a
fee, in an amount determined by Fee Resolution of the City Council, upon a
determination of the Tustin Planning Commission that the proposed project meets
specific findings. The program is typically associated with new development within Old
Town; however, the proposed project is changing the use of a property and meets the
intent of the parking exception. This particular situation could also be viewed as most
similar to adaptive re -use of an existing property in Old Town, which could also be
supported by staff for the parking exception program.
The applicant has opted to pay for four (4) parking stalls at $60 per space annually in
lieu of providing parking spaces on -site. Participation in the City's program will require
an annual fee of $240 which reimburses the City for parking maintenance fees (as
determined by City Council Resolution No. 12 -27). The following list of required findings
and responses have been provided.
PC Report
March 25, 2014
CUP 01 -024 & Old Town Parking Exception
Page 6
Finding 1: The proposed project is an infill project located within the Commercial
District of Old Town.
Response: At the time of completion in 2003, the project was one of the first recent
infill projects within the commercial area of Old Town Tustin in a number
of years. The parking exception program which the applicant is requesting
to utilize was not available at the time of development, but could have
allowed for more flexibility in uses of the building. The original tenant,
Acorn Naturalists, has vacated the property and the property owner is
seeking more flexibility in use to allow for new businesses and attract new
employment within Old Town.
Finding 2: That the proposed project is considered to be relatively small.
Response: The project consists of an existing standalone 10,464 square foot building
on an approximately 22,487 square foot lot. This is deemed to be
relatively small in the realm of commercial real estate.
Finding 3: That the proposed project has incorporated building or site design
enhancements that make it an outstanding addition to Old Town Tustin.
Response: The existing Craftsman building on the property is a unique contributor to
the commercial building portfolio in Old Town Tustin. Commercial
Craftsman styled buildings are not original to Tustin; however, the building
does provide a nice transition from the many Craftsman residential
bungalows seen within Old Town.
Finding 4: That the proposed project provides some onsite parking, but is
aesthetically superior to one that provided all required parking on site.
Response: Thirty -five (35) parking stalls currently exist on the property and the
intended uses (retail and office uses) would require four (4) additional
stalls. When the project was originally developed, the City had more
stringent parking requirements than the current parking codes. The
building would have been significantly smaller if originally developed as
currently proposed. Should additional on -site parking have been required,
this may have shifted the aesthetics of the site towards a parking lot
dominate parcel which would not promote a pedestrian oriented building
provided at the street front.
Finding 5: That the project applicant shall agree to pay an annual fee for each public
space not provided on site.
Response: The applicant is aware of the required annual fee of $60 per parking space
established by the City Council. In addition, the applicant is also aware
PC Report
March 25, 2014
CUP 01 -024 & Old Town Parking Exception
Page 7
that the fee is subject to change as determined by the City Council. The
conditions of approval require payment of the annual fee.
Finding 6: Other findings that maybe adopted from time to time by the City Council.
Response: The project would be required to comply with other findings and criteria
adopted by the City Council.
The parking exception for this project is consistent with the City's goal of introducing
customer - attracting commercial uses, replacing underutilized and vacant parcels,
generating jobs, increasing the number of persons shopping and working in Old Town
Tustin, and fostering economic development of the surrounding areas. Furthermore, the
City has prepared the Old Town Parking Study that concluded that there is a significant
amount of available parking in the area. Therefore, the recommendation to allow the
exception to the requirement of four (4) parking stalls is appropriate for this proposal.
FINDINGS:
In determining whether to approve the amendments to Condition Nos. 1.1, 5.1, 5.2, and
10.3 of Resolution No. 3804 for Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 and an exception to the
required parking, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed
use will 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; and that the project meets the required findings for a parking
exception as identified in Section 9352J3(d)(3)(d) of the Tustin City Code. A decision to
approve this request may be supported by the following findings:
1) As proposed, the ground floor retail use with second floor office use complies
with the intent of Tustin City Code Section 9271ee(2) pertaining to professional
and general offices fronting onto El Camino Real and located within the Old
Town Commercial General Plan land use designation.
2) Ground floor retail /service commercial use with upper floor office use as proposed,
is compatible and consistent with development within the commercial areas of Old
Town Tustin. There are established and new infill buildings providing the same
mix of uses as proposed in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
3) That retail use is not conducive on the second floor of a building and mail order
business uses are not typical within retail buildings.
4) The proposed development meets the findings required within Section
9352J3(d)(3)(d) of the Tustin City Code to allow for the granting of a parking
exception.

5) The City previously prepared the Old Town Parking Study that concluded that
there is a significant amount of available parking in the area.
6) The parking exception for this project is consistent with the City's goal of
introducing customer - attracting commercial uses, replacing underutilized and
vacant parcels, generating jobs, increasing the number of persons shopping and
working in Old Town Tustin, and fostering economic development of the
surrounding areas.

RESOLUTION NO. 3804
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 01 -024 AND DESIGN REVIEW 01-
030 AUTHORIZING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT
155 EL CAMINO REAL.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That an application for Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 and Design
Review 01 -030 was filed by Prescott Properties to request
authorization to construct a 9,156 square foot commercial building
on the property located at 155 El Camino Real, also described as
Final Parcel Map No. 99 -161.
B. That the property is located within the Central Commercial (C -2)
Zoning District, the Parking Overlay District (P), and the Town
Center Redevelopment Project Area.
C. That the proposed site is within the Old Town Commercial Land
Use Designation of the General Plan that provides for a variety of
commercial uses. 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 the proposed "mail- order" use is not addressed within the
Tustin Zoning Code and in accordance with City Code Section
9233c(t) a conditional use permit is required to determine if the use
is appropriate.
E. That the off - street parking requirements for the proposed "mail -
order' use shall be prescribed by the Planning Commission in
accordance with City Code Sections 9233b(6) and 9251 b(3)j.
F. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on September 24, 2001, by the Planning Commission.
G. That the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use
applied for 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 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 finding
that the proposed project, as conditioned, will not be injurious,
detrimental to, or have a negative effect on surrounding properties
in that:
1. The use of the building is consistent with the provisions of
the Central Commercial (C -2) zoning district for permitted

office uses, as established by Interim Ordinance No. 1242,
in that the first floor will be devoted to retail, and less than
fifty (50) percent of the total square footage of the building
will be devoted to office use.
2. The establishment of a mail order use is similar in nature to
permitted and conditionally permitted uses in the Central
Commercial (C -2) zoning district that offer processing,
assembling, and shipping services. As conditioned,
manufacturing activities would not be permitted.
3. The establishment of a retail, office, and mail -order use
would complement the Old Town Tustin area by providing
retail service and contributing to a commercial village
atmosphere as encouraged by the provisions of the Cultural
Resources Overlay District.
4. The establishment of a retail, office, and mail -order use is
consistent with the Town Center Redevelopment Project
Area in that it maximizes the potential of underutilized
properties and would enhance the economic vitality of the
area.
5. The use of a "warehouse and industry" parking ratio of one
parking space for every 2000 square feet for the mail -order
component is appropriate in that the Combining Parking
District sets forth the prescribed ratio and the nature of the
mail -order use is similar to industrial uses in which there are
typically fewer employees or patrons per square foot than in
retail or office uses.
6. As conditioned, the proposed site plan provides for sufficient
vehicle ingress, egress, on -site maneuvering, and parking.
H. Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin Municipal Code, the
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features and
general appearance of Design Review 01 -030, as conditioned, will
not impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the
present or future development therein, or the occupancy as a
whole. In making such findings, the Commission has considered at
least the following items:
1. Height, bulk, and area of buildings.
2. Setbacks and site planning.
3. Exterior materials and colors.
4. Type and pitch of roofs.
5. Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings.

RESOLUTION NO. 4255
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO
CONDITION NOS. 1.1, 5.1, 5.2, AND 10.3 OF RESOLUTION
NO. 3804 FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 01 -024 TO
ALLOW FOR SECOND FLOOR OFFICE USE AND
AUTHORIZING A PARKING EXCEPTION OF FOUR (4)
PARKING SPACES FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 155
EL CAMINO REAL.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application to amend Condition Nos. 1.1, 5.1, 5.2, and
10.3 of Resolution No. 3804 for Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 was
filed by Leason Pomeroy of LP3 Architecture, Inc. requesting to allow
for second floor office use and authorization for a parking exception of
four (4) parking spaces for the property located at 155 El Camino Real.
B. That the Central Commercial (C2) zoning district and the Old Town
Commercial General Plan land use designation provide for a variety of
commercial and office uses. 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.
C. That on September 24, 2001, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. 3804, approving Conditional Use Permit 01 -024 and
Design Review 01 -030 authorizing the construction of a commercial
building at 155 El Camino Real.
D. That Condition No. 5.2 of Resolution No. 3804 limits the use of the
second floor of the building to a mail order business and any
modification to the use or the building shall require Planning
Commission approval.
E. That the Planning Commission considered the project at the March
25, 2014, Planning Commission meeting.
F. That pursuant to Tustin City Code Section 9352J3(d)(3)(d) (Ordinance
No. 1416), on -site parking requirements may be modified for
development proposed within both the Central Commercial District (C -2)
and the Old Town Commercial General Plan land use designation of the
commercial portion of Old Town Tustin. All, or a portion of, the required
number of on -site parking spaces may be satisfied through the payment
of a fee, in an amount determined by Fee Resolution of the City
Council, upon a determination of the Tustin Planning Commission
that the proposed project meets specific findings.
Resolution No. 4255
Page 2
G. That the Old Town Parking Exception Fee was established at $60 per
space through City Council Resolution No. 12 -27 and the applicant
has requested a parking exception and agreed to pay an annual fee
for spaces not provided on -site.
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; and that the
project meets the required findings for a parking exception as identified
in Section 9352J3(d)(3)(d) of the Tustin City Code in that:
1) As proposed, the ground floor retail use with second floor office
use complies with the intent of Tustin City Code Section
9271 ee(2) pertaining to professional and general offices fronting
onto El Camino Real and located within the Old Town
Commercial General Plan land use designation.
2) Ground floor retail /service commercial use with upper floor office
use as proposed, is compatible and consistent with development
within the commercial areas of Old Town Tustin. There are
established and new infill buildings providing the same mix of uses
as proposed in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
3) That retail use is not conducive on the second floor of a building
and mail order business uses are not typical within retail buildings.
4) The proposed development meets the findings required within
Section 9352J3(d)(3)(d) of the Tustin City Code to allow for the
granting of a parking exception in that:
a. The proposed project is a relatively recent (built in 2003) infill
project which is proposing a new use.
b. The existing 10,464 square foot building on a 22,487 square
foot lot is relatively small for a commercial project.
c. The existing craftsman building on the property is a unique
contributor to the commercial building portfolio in Old Town
Tustin. The building is of high quality design, materials, and
construction.
d. Thirty -five (35) parking stalls currently exist on the property
and four (4) additional stalls would be provided through the
parking exception fee program. As existing, providing
Resolution No. 4255
Page 3
additional parking on the property would have reduced the
size of the building, lessened its aesthetic appeal, and
required additional land in Old Town to be devoted towards
parking.
e. The applicant will be required to pay the annual parking
exception fee of $60 per parking space not provided on -site
as established by the City Council
f. The property would be required to comply with any other
findings that may be adopted from time to time by the City
Council
5) The City previously prepared the Old Town Parking Study that
concluded that there is a significant amount of available parking
in the area.
6) The parking exception for this project is consistent with the City's
goal of introducing customer - attracting commercial uses,
replacing underutilized and vacant parcels, generating jobs,
increasing the number of persons shopping and working in Old
Town Tustin, and fostering economic development of the
surrounding areas.
I. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class
1 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act).
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves the amendments to Condition
Nos. 1.1, 5.1, 5.2, and 10.3 of Resolution No. 3804 for Conditional Use Permit
01 -024 to allow for second floor office use and authorizing a parking
exception of four (4) parking spaces for the property located at 155 El
Camino Real subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A attached
hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin at a
