TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW 92-024
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Community Redevelopment Agency approve
Design Review 92-024 by adopting Resolution No. 92-14, as submitted
or rev sed.
BACKGROUND
The applicant wishes to remodel the facade of the existing
restaurant located at 13102 Newport Avenue to accommodate a new
Ruby's Diner. The restaurant currently operating in the structure
is Faraday's Grill. The subject restaurant is located in Packers
Square Shopping Center, but is on a separate pad.
On June 26, 1992 the Community Development Department approved the
project subject to conditions that would require the restaurant to
be more in keeping with the architectural style of Packers Square
Shopping Center pursuant to City Code Section 9272. The applicant
appealed the Department's decision to the Planning Commission. On
July 27, 1992 the Planning Commission approved the request to
renovate the exterior of the restaurant as submitted by the
applicant by adopting Resolution No. 3065A attached to*this report
as Attachment A. Since the property is located within the Town
Center Redevelopment project area, the Redevelopment Agency has
final authority over site and architecture development -plans.
Surrounding uses include Packers Square to the east and south,
commercial properties.to the west across Newport Avenue, Lafayette
Plaza across Newport Avenue and Irvine Boulevard to the northwest
and commercial properties including Tustin Heights Shopping Center
to the north of the project.
This item does not require a public hearing; therefore, no formal
notices were transmitted. A copy of the staff report and meeting
agenda was made availale to the applicant.

DISCUSSION
The subject restaurant is on one of four pads in Packers Square
that are all under single ownership. The subject restaurant is
located adjacent to Newport Avenue and is oriented ,toward the
landscaped parking lot in the center of the shopping o4i�rnter. Three
other commercial buildings share the parkinglot. The restaurant
building currently shares the same rustic design theme of the other
three structures in Packers Square.
Renovation plans for the restaurant call for remodeling the
existing restaurant into a 1950's diner by adding a white tower
with curved cement plaster parapet elements, glass block and metal
railings. The lower portion of the building would be covered with
cement plaster (stucco) painted "crystal white" with grey trim and
red highlights. No modifications are planned for the existing
windows, except that the existing green and white stripped awnings
would be changed out for red and white stripped awnings. The
existing entrance to the restaurant would be altered by adding 50's
style doors flanked by glass block lights.
The subject restaurant is not structurally integrated with the
other buildings in Packers Square and is on a stand alone pad,
separated from the other structures. The Planning Commission found
that the requested modifications to the structure were appropriate,
and that the proposed project would be compatible with structures
in the surrounding neighborhood.
CONCLUSION
Given the analysis conducted by staff, it isrecommended that the
Community Redevelopment Agency approve Design Review 92-024 by
adopting Resolution No. RDA 92-14, as submitted or revised.

RESOLUTION NO. 3065A
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF :THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA GRANTING APPEAL OF
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 2.11 2.21 2.3, 2.4, AND
2.7 OF DESIGN REVIEW 92-024, WHICH WAS
APPROVED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT TO PERMIT THE EXTERIOR REMODELING
OF AN EXISTING RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 13102
NEWPORT 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 a proper application, Design Review 92-
024, was filed on behalf of the Breckenridge
Group to permit exterior remodeling of the
existing restaurant located at 13102 Newport
Avenue.
B. That Design Review 92-024 was approved with
conditions by the Community Development
Department.
C. That a proper appeal was filed by the
Breckenridge Group requesting appeal of
certain Conditions of Approval 2.11 2.2, 2.3,
2.4, and 2.7 for Design Review 92-024.
D. Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin
Municipal Code, the Commission finds that the
elimination of the existing river rock and
brick; the introduction of 1950's style
elements such as glass block, metal railings,
curved cement plaster parapets, round red logo
signs round metal light fixtures, and an art
deco door; and the introduction of a color
selection such as white, grey trim and red
highlights will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, since
stucco, the predominate material used at the
shopping center which the subject restaurant
is nearby, is utilized in the proposed
exterior remodeling. Further, the Commission
finds that the subject restaurant is not
structurally integrated with the adjoining
shopping center as it is on a stand alone pad.
Therefore, the subject restaurant need not
exhibit and identical color scheme and
detailing as the nearby shopping center. In
making such findings, the Commission has
