SATE:
SEPTEMBER 21, 1992
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW 92-038 (TUSTIN TIRE & BRAKE)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve Design
Review 92-038 by adopting Resolution No. RDA 92-16, as submitted or
revised.
BACKGROUND
On September 14, 1992, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
No. 3080 approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 92-030, modifying
CUP 91-010, and recommending to the Redevelopment Agency approval
of Design Review 92-038 authorizing the expansion of an existing
tire and brake service use and construction of a new service
building including modifications to the parking lot and landscape
areas on the property located at 135 South Prospect Avenue. A copy
of Resolution No. 3080 has been included as Attachment A.
The subject property is located within the First Street Specific
Plan Project Area and maintains a zoning designation of "Commercial
as a Primary Use." The City Council has previously authorized the
tire service use on the subject property by approving Conditional
Use Permit 91-010 including the approval of various development
bonuses pursuant to the Lot Consolidation program of the First
Street Specific Plan. The project site is also located within the
Town Center Redevelopment Project Area requiring final design
review approval of the proposed site improvements by the
Redevelopment Agency.
The design review application does not require a public hearing;
therefore, no noticing of this application was provided. The
applicants were informed of the availability of a staff report on
this matter.

DISCUSSION
Agency Report
1992
The submitted plans propose construction of a 1, 875 square foot
building on the northeast portion of the site where portions of the
existing parking lot are located. The new building will provide a
total of four new service bays and storage area, expanding the
existing tire and brake service business located on the site to ten
service bays, for a total revised building square footage on the
site of 5,741 square feet.
The existing parking lot layout will be modified by reconfiguring
the present location of the parking spaces serving the northern
portion of the site. A majority of the parking is proposed to be
located in the northwest portion of the site, where presently a
fire -damaged office building is located. The parking lot
improvements satisfy the City's Code requirements, 2 spaces for
every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, and in fact exceed the
requirements by two spaces. The improvements will also reduce the
number of compact stalls presently serving the site. Other
improvements include the creation of new landscape areas and the
relocation of the trash enclosure. Additional project details can
be found in a copy of the Planning Commission staff report included
as Attachment B.
The submitted elevations for the new service building propose
architectural details, finishes and materials consistent with the
adjacent car wash site in conformance with the previous City
Council approvals, pursuant to the lot consolidation bonus program
requirements. The applicant proposes to repeat the plant -on column
detail with teal -colored tile insets, light tan stucco finish to
the walls, dark brown wood accents and a concrete "S" tile roof.
Conditions of approval were also included requiring the applicant
to provide additional architectural embellishments to the north and
west elevations (the most visible from the public right-of-way)
satisfying the criteria of the Design Guidelines of the First
Street Specific Plan.

RESOLUTION NO. 3080
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 92-030,
MODIFYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-010, AND
RECOMMENDING TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVAL
OF DESIGN REVIEW 92-038, AUTHORIZING THE EXPANSION
OF AN EXISTING TIRE AND BRAKE SERVICE USE,
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SERVICE BUILDING INCLUDING
MODIFICATIONS TO THE PARKING LOT AND LANDSCAPE
AREAS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 135 SOUTH PROSPECT
AVENUE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby
resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That proper applications, Conditional Use Permit
92-030 and Design Review 92-038, have been filed on
behalf of Stephen D. Paquette requesting the
authorization to expand an existing tire and brake
service use, construct a new service building
including modifications to the parking lot and
landscape areas on the property located at 135
South Prospect Avenue, modifying the conditions of
approval of Conditional Use Permit 91-010.
B. A public hearing was duly noticed, called and held
for said applications on September 14, 1992.
C. 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 an improvements in
the neighborhood of the subject property, or to the
general welfare of the City of Tustin as evidenced
by the following:
1. The parking lot improvements provide more
spaces than would be required, reduce the
number of compact spaces and improve on-site
circulation, thereby decreasing impacts to
neighboring properties and adjacent public
streets.
2. The conflicts between the office uses and the
automotive service uses being maintained on
the same site would be eliminated as the
proposal includes the demolition of the office
buildings and the construction of new service

3. The project includes the construction of a new
building which will provide indoor storage
ensuring compliance with code requirements and
previous conditions of approval at the site
concerning outdoor storage.

upgrades which bring the project site into
closer conformance with current requirements
of the First Street Specific Plan by
satisfying required setbacks, dimensions and
architectural character consistent with the
adjacent car wash property.
5. The expansion of the tire service business
will result in increased viability to the
First Street Corridor by maximizing the
subject property's potential for use.
6. The subject improvements related to the use
will not result in a disruption to existing
traffic flow or have a negative impact to
existing traffic volumes on First Street as

permitted use pursuant to the First Street Specific
Plan under the Commercial as a Primary Use
designation.
E. Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code,
the Planning Commission finds that the location,
size, architectural features and general appearance

occupancy as a whole. In making such findings, the
Commission has considered at least the following
items:
1. Height, bulk and area of buildings.

DISCUSSION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Submitted plans propose construction of a 1,875 square foot
building on the northeast portion of the site where portions of the
existing parking lot are located. The new building will provide a

The existing parking lot layout will be modified by reconfiguring
the present location of the parking spaces serving the northern
portion of the site. A majority of the parking is proposed to be
located in the northwest portion of the site, where presently the
fire damaged structure is located. A total of 15 parking spaces
will be provided on the site, where only 13 would be required based
upon the following ratios:

The parking lot improvements will also result in the elimination of
a majority of the compact spaces that were previously approved
during the lot consolidation bonus program. Only two of the spaces
will remain as compact (13 percent), where a maximum of 30 percent
of on-site parking is permitted to be compact. Access to the site
will continue to be located at its current location on First Street
and Prospect Avenue and no modifications proposed.
Prior conditions of approval for this site required the property
owner to voluntarily offer to dedicate an additional ten feet
adjacent and parallel to Prospect Avenue for ultimate right-of-way
purposes consistent with the City's adopted Master Arterial Plan.
A minor modification to the submitted plans is therefore required
in order to keep the dedication area clear of any improvements in
the event that the Irrevocable Offer to Dedicate is exercised. The
parking lot area will have to be shifted easterly by two feet -six
inches in order to maintain standard stall sizes including adequate
overhang outside of the ultimate right-of-way. The site is large
enough to accommodate this shift and Condition No. 4.1 of
Resolution No. 3080 has been included detailing the necessary
dimensions to be satisfied, subject to verification during the
Building Division's plan check process.

Submitted plans also propose the relocation of the trash enclosure
from the middle of the site to the area adjacent to the existing
service building. New landscaping is also proposed adjacent to
First Street and Prospect Avenue which will include a berming
detail and shrubs to screen the parking lot. A total of 17 trees
(London Plane and Brisbane Box), 15 gallon minimum in size, will be
informally grouped to soften the site's appearance and will provide
additional screening of the service bays. The submitted plans are
conceptual and actual locations and quantities will be verified at
building plan check for conformance with the City's adopted
Landscape and Irrigation Submittal Requirements. The landscape
palette proposed utilizes the plant palette established for the
adjacent car wash, which was a previous condition of approval for
the subject site.
The submitted elevations for the new service building propose
architectural details, finishes and materials consistent with the
adjacent car wash site in conformance with the previous City
Council approvals, pursuant to the lot consolidation bonus program
requirements. The applicant proposes to repeat the plant -on column
detail with teal -colored tile insets, light tan stucco finish to
the walls, dark brown wood accents and a concrete "S" tile roof.
Condition No. 4.2 has been added requiring the window glazing to be
tinted to screen the view of any automotive service within the
building.
Staff would recommend that the Commission consider the addition of
minor architectural embellishments to the north and west elevations
to satisfy the adopted First Street Specific Plan Design Guidelines
for new construction. The guidelines emphasize the creation of
architectural interest to expanses of blank walls by adding
horizontal and vertical articulation to the facade. Condition No.
4.3 of Resolution No. 3080 has been added requiring the applicant
to add an additional column detail off -set (rather than centered)
to be located within proximity of the westerly window on the north
elevation and the southerly window on the west elevation.
Additionally, the condition requires the applicant to provide a
trellis structure attached to the north elevation flush with the
structure's east building wall, extending westerly and projecting
over the existing pedestrian bench and portions of the ten -foot
landscape area adjacent to First Street. These elements shall be
subject to review and approval by the Community Development
Department during the Building Division's plan check process.

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The previous approvals by the City Council which authorized the
tire and brake service use at the subject property included a
condition of approval (Conditions No. 3.3 of Exhibit A, City
Council Resolution No. 91-110) reading as follows:
"All servicing of vehicles shall be restricted to brake and/or
tire repair/replacement. The approval of the use permit for
this property shall not constitute authorization for other
automotive repair work, including heavy line or body work."
The applicant is offering oil and lube service, tune-ups and minor
parts replacement. These services would constitute other
automotive repair work; however, they would not be considered heavy
line or body work and would be typical of any automotive service
facility or service station. In conjunction with the submitted
plans, the applicant is requesting that additional services
typically performed at other tire and brake businesses be permitted
at this location. The applicant is proposing to perform all
general automotive services except muffler installation or repair,
repairs requiring on-site welding, transmission repair, automobile
frame repair, body and fender repair and automobile painting. A
condition of approval has been included to reflect this request.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Pursuant to Section 9291 of the City Code, the Planning Commission
must find that the proposal would not, under the circumstances, be
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general
welfare of the persons resi^.ing or working in the neighborhood of
the proposed use and that the use would not be detrimental to
property and improvements in the neighborhood or general welfare of
the City. Based upon the current proposal, the improvements
resolve some of the issues that were originally of concern relative
to the appropriateness of the tire service use at this location.
By re -configuring the layout of the parking lot to provide more
spaces, including a reduction to some of the substandard stall
sizes previously approved, on-site circulation would be improved
and the anticipated impacts between the medical office use and tire
business would be eliminated.
Additionally, the following evidence would support approval of this
conditional use permit application:
1. The parking lot improvements provide more spaces than would be
required, reduce the number of compact spaces and improve on-
site circulation, thereby decreasing impacts to neighboring

properties and adjacent public streets.
2. The conflicts between the office uses and the automotive
service uses being maintained on the same site would be
eliminated as the proposal includes the demolition of the
office buildings and the construction of new service bays
making the entire site an automotive service use.
3. The project includes the construction of a new building which
will provide indoor storage ensuring compliance with code
requirements and previous conditions of approval at the site
concerning outdoor storage.
4. The overall improvements to the site propose upgrades which
bring the project site into closer conformance with current
requirements of the First Street Specific Plan by satisfying
required setbacks, dimensions and architectural character
consistent with the adjacent car wash property.
5. The expansion of the tire service business will result in
increased viability to the First Street corridor by maximizing
the subject property's potential for use.
6. The subject improvements related to the use will not result in
a disruption to existing traffic flow or have a negative
impact to existing traffic volumes on First Street as the
project does not include any modification to the consolidated
driveway access from First Street.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the analysis provided in this report, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission consider approval of the Conditional
Use Permit application and forward a recommendation of approval to
the Redevelopment Agency of the Design Review, as submitted or
revised.
