IV. PUBLIC HEARING
1. APPEAL OF USE PERMIT NO. 85-6, 450 WEST FIRST STREET
The staff report and recommendation were presented by the Director
of Community Development as contained in the inter-com dated
March 18, 1985, prepared by the Community Development Department.
The Director responded to Councilman Saltarelli that parking
requirements are 1 space/300 square feet for office use, and 1
space/200 square feet for commercial use. Staff's original report
to the Planning Commission identified that if the building were
converted to 100% office use, there would still be adequate parking
to provide the number of parking spaces at the 1/300 requirement.
In response to Mayor Kennedy, the Director stated that a legal
survey of the property verified the site plan to be accurate.
The public hearing was opened by Mayor Kennedy at 7:16 p.m.
Pete Ferracone, 426 West First Street, ~17, Tustin Commons Home-
owners' Association President, spoke in opposition to Use Permit
85-6 stating that water from the proposed project will drain
southerly onto the Tustin Commons condominiums. He suggested
project plans be revised with elevation to direct water drainage
northerly onto First Street.

Page 2, 3-18-85
Harry Gates, 11502 Plantero, Santa Ana, owner/applicant, stated
project plans have been revised to direct drainage onto First
Street. He responded to Mayor Pro Tem Greinke that the main build-
ing may be salvaged/moved and other buildings will be demolished.
There were no other speakers on the matter, and the public hearing
was closed at 7:19 p.m.
Councilman Hoesterey expressed concerns regarding size of the
building in relation to size of the lot, especially if ingoing
offices require clientele or other high use (inadequate parking),
and he referenced a project on E1 Camino which utilized underground
parking that was not well received.
Councilman Saltarelli commented that the project is innovative, and
he sees the question as one of zoning, not development standards,
since staff has indicated the project meets parking requirements.
Councilman Edgar stated he shares the feeling that there is lack of
retail, and he has misgivings that Council could set a pattern for
office uses on First Street, rather than enhancing sales tax reve-
nue from commercial uses.
Mayor Kennedy voiced concerns regarding the narrowness and size of
the building. She noted that the adjacent lot is vacant, and
wondered if staff could encourage the private sector to develop
both lots simultaneously, remaining sensitive to the residential
area south of the project.
The Community Development Director responded that the adjacent lot
is owned by Hardy & Harper Asphalt, it has been on the market, they
do wish to have it developed, but there are mixed opinions on Coun-
cil's preference for development along First Street, i.e., exclu-
sive retail or exclusive office use. The Director requested Coun-
cil clarification/direction on. the matter.
Mayor Kennedy stated Council's philosophy for more commercial
development was adopted during the State revenue shortfall. She
continued that Council has been assertive in pursuing and attract-
ing retail business (Auto Center) in Tustin. She encouraged Coun-
cil to consider a continuance for the private sector to perhaps
meet and discuss simultaneous development of the two lots without
denying or causing the applicant any problems.
Councilman Hoesterey concurred with Council's previous position to
reserve the downtown area for retail use, citing it as a reason
for Redevelopment Agency-funded improvements. He added that if
there is a possibility of both properties being developed for
retail, it will be to the City's and community's benefit, and Coun-
cil should strive to do same.
Councilman Saltarelli stated he sees no major movement towards
retail along First Street, that the only type of retail that can be
developed in subject area is "strip retail" (lot-by-lot), and he
has come full circle in allowing the marketplace to determine what
will prevail.
Mayor Pro Tem Greinke suggested an excellent revenue source in the
area would be a quality-type restaurant. He requested the devel-
oper return to the drawing board and consider a restaurant or other
singular-type use which would tie the two parcels together. He
reiterated his position favoring retail uses on First Street.
In response to Mayor Kennedy, the Community Development Director
stated the applicant's project is permitted by zone with a use
permit. He offered suggestions to encourage exclusive future
retail development on First Street (from 55 Freeway to Centennial
Way) should Council desire. Based on the owner proceeding through
the use permit process up to this point, he recommended Council
act on Use Permit 85-6 solely on the basis of its proposed use at
subject location and its impact on the surrounding community, and
not in relation to any long-term aspects of development on First
Street.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 3, 3-18-85
At Mayor Kennedy's request, the Di rector clarified that Use Permit
85-6 meets current parking standards as he stated earlier. How-
ever, should Council accept Planning Commission's recommendation
(Report No. 3 on Agenda) to initiate the process to change the pro-
fessional office parking standards to one space per 250 gross
square feet, the project would probably be a few spaces short.
The Director responded to Councilman Saltarelli that staff receives
between two to five inquiries per week from developers with a pref-
erence for constructing office buildings, and secondly think of an
office/retail mixture, not only on First Street but throughout the
community. He stated he does not see this project as a catalyst
for either office or retail, and stressed that the real impact on
the community will be Council's decision on setting a development
policy for the balance of First Street. Council has encouraged
retail, this project is predominantly office. It is one of the
first projects before Council in the past year-and-a-half. If
approved, Council will probably see more requests for either pre-
dominantly or exclusively office use rather than retail, because
retail is very difficult to develop on First Street if it is not at
a corner location. Mid-block lots with limited exposure (when
buildings will potentially be built on both sides) extremely reduce
commercial retail liability.
In response to Councilman Edgar, the Director stated he does not
feel the R-3 zone inhibits development, and noted the R-3 zone per-
mits construction of office buildings.
It was then moved by Kennedy, seconded by Saltarelli, to continue
Use Permit 85-6.
Councilman Hoesterey questioned the reason for continuance, to
which Mayor Kennedy responded that before taking action on a
precedent-setting development which could be the best or worst
thing on First Street, she requires more staff input, more Council
input, and closer study of all the options.
Mayor Pro Tem Greinke encouraged greater effort by property owners
to combine development of both lots, with staff assistance, and
recommended a one-month continuance. Councilman Saltarelli voiced
preference for Council decision as soon as possible. He stated he
was agreeable to a two-week continuance, he encouraged Council to
look at First Street again (accompanied by staff), to perhaps
review City parking standards, and arrive at a decision.
The motion was amended by Kennedy, seconded by Greinke, to continue
consideration of Use Permit 85-6 to the April i meeting, or the
April 15 meeting at the latest, and advise the applicant of when it
will be agendized.
Councilman Edgar emphasized that combined development of the two
lots is extremely important, in which case he would be far more
comfortable in not having the same percentage of retail, because
retail would be more successful in such a situation.
The amended motion carried 5-0. 81
P" V. PUBLIC INPUT
1. "CLEAN AIR" ORDINANCE
Dr. Jettold Cohen, 420 E1Camino Real, Suite 3, spoke in support of

place. Dr. Cohen urged the Council to adopt a "clean air" ordi-

3. PARKING LOT AT 14742 DEVONSHIRE AVENUE (CENTENNIAl. PARK)
The Director of Public Works presented the staff report as con-
tained in his inter-com dated March 8, 1985.
John Craddock, 14752 Devonshire Avenue, spoke in favor of the pro-
posed parking regulations for the Centennial Park parking lot.
Kathy Well, 1702 Summerville Avenue, Civic Liaison for Tustin
Meadows Community Association, was sympathetic to Mr. Craddock's
request for parking regulations. However, she stated that the
Association was opposed to the proposed regulations on the basis
that the lot is utilized for overflow parking for the Clubhouses.
Mr. Craddock suggested posting signs which read "Parking for
Centennial Park and Authorized Clubhouse Functions Only." In
response to Mayor Kennedy, Mr. Craddock relayed problems with
littering, vehicle repairing, and consummation of alcoholic bever-
ages, which occur on weekend evening hours at subject lot.
Chief Thayer responded to Mayor Kennedy that he has no preference
on the matter; any regulation is difficult to enforce without
chaining off the lot; and there is insufficient manpower to
continually patrol it. He Suggested Mr. Craddock call the Police
Department when there is a problem and an officer would respond
relatively quickly.
After Council discussion, Council concurred with Mayor Kennedy that
the Association review the situation for a solution, the Mainten-
ance Department survey the lots on a regular basis, the Police
Department patrolthe area on Friday and Saturday nights, and if a
solution cannot be reached, bring the matter back to Council for
consideration of chaining off the lots as a last resort. 77
Councilman Hoesterey commended both parties (Mr. Craddock and Ms.
Weil) on their pleasant manner in handling the situation.

Greinke, to authorize the sale of City of Tustin Water System
facilities located in the City of Santa Aria in the amount of
$56,645.66 to Santa Aria and authorize the Mayor to execute the
Agreement for said sale.
The Director responded to Mayor Pro Tem Greinke that a condition of
the agreement is that the agency purchasing the facilities is
responsible for notification to customers of the change in ser-
vice.
Council concurred that prior to the sale of services to the City of
Orange, staff notify by letter all customers affected by same.
The motion carried 5-0. 107

action to lobby for its passage; and
2) Authorize staff to support any tort reform bills which the
League of California Cities recommends.
Mayor Pro Tem Greinke expressed ardent support for Senate Bill 75.
Additionally, he suggested staff investigate the possibility of
individually incorporating the City's high-risk departments, i.e.,
Police and Community Services, which would shield the City from any
major exposure.
The motion carried 5-0. 61
There was Council consensus to direct staff to study Mayor Pro Tem
Greinke's suggestion and report back to Council on same. 88
7. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE SWEEPER
The Administrative Assistant presented the staff report explaining
that additional information has been received since the inter-com
to Council dated March 13. Staff now feels it is in the City's
best interest to reject all bids, research other alternatives, and
rebid in six to eight months for the best equipment that will fit
the City's needs.
It was then moved by Greinke, seconded by Edgar, to reject all bids
for the mechanical sweeper as recommended in the revised inter-com
dated March 18, 1985, prepared by the Administrative Assistant.
The motion carried 5-0. 87

Planning Commission Action Agenda of March 11, 1985.
Regarding Item No. 4, Extension of Use Permit 84-5 & Tentative
Tract Map 11370, the Community Development Director explained that

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 8, 3-18-85
denial, and the Planning Commission agreed. However, the City can-
not legally deny the tentative tract map until it expires in
August, 1986. The Director stated that without a use permit, there
is no entitlement to develop the property, and the owners are
expected to allow it to expire.
Regarding Item No. 3, Yorba Street Zone Study, First Street to
Irvine Boulevard, there was Council consensus with Councilman
Edgar's request that staff investigate the possibility of:
1)Undergrounding the remaining four utility poles to make the
area more aesthetic for professional development; and
2) If the property owners could agree to dedicate the street
right-of-way, perhaps the City could pay for installation of
curbs and gutters to widen the street.

2. INVESTMENT SCHEDULE AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 1985
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to receive and file
the subject report dated March 13, 1985, prepared by the Finance
Director. Carried 5-0. 50
3. COMMERCIAL OFFICE PARKING STANDARD
As recommended in the inter-com dated March 18, 1985, prepared by
the Community Development Department, it was moved by Hoesterey,
seconded by Greinke, to accept the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and advertise for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,
revising the parking standards of professional office to a 1/250
gross square foot standard.
Councilman Saltarelli felt it inequitable to establish a lower
standard {1/250} for future development as opposed to the existing
standard of 3/1,000 square feet, it would curtail future develop-
ment, and he suggested establishing a cut-off point where the stan-
dard would be more valid. He added concern that the term "gross"
will cause an architectural change in the City to use outside
stairways, etc., and felt the existing standard is acceptable.
Mayor Kennedy was sympathetic, but expressed commitment and respon-
sibility to set standards to assist residential al ready burdened
with overflow commercial parking. She continued that leaving the
standard status quo would simply prolong the problem.
Councilman Hoesterey expressed willingness to reconsider the matter
to include Councilman Saltarelli's concerns.
Councilman Saltarelli added that the worst parking standards are
for residential, particularly multi-family. He requested the
matter be continued for further information on the difference
between gross and net square footage, what previous standards were,
and whether an applicable cut-off point could be established.
Councilman Edgar stated his concern with the fact that all profes-
sional is lumped into one category, and suggested refining parking
standards to differentiate between intense and non-intense uses to
prevent improper use of parking, acknowledging that it will compli-
cate matters. Mayor Pro Tem Greinke concurred.
There was a substitute motion by Hoesterey, seconded by Saltarelli,
to direct staff to review Council concerns and report back at the
May 6, 1985, meeting. The substitute motion carried 5-0. 81
4. PROGRESS REPORT REGARDING "CLEAN AIR" ORDINANCE

lative bills on tort reform and liability: SB 433 {Ferguson), AB

trators to Tustin's March 27 "Town Hall Meeting" regarding the East
Tustin Specific Plan.
6. OFFICE DEVELOPMENTS IN IRVINE
Councilman Saltarelli noted with concern that reports indicate the
City of Irvine is considering tremendous office developments in the
John Wayne Airport area. He summoned staff to contact Irvine offi-
cials and request that they keep Tustin apprised of any zone change
hearings for such developments, and advise them that Tustin will be
extremely concerned that such plans include methods to accommodate
traffic circulation without utilization of Tustin streets, i.e.,
Redhill Avenue.
7. NORTH "C" STREET
Mayor Kennedy obtained Council consensus to direct staff to poll
residents at the end of North "C" Street on whether they would
agree to dedicating land for purposes of cul-de-sacing said
