CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2015-07
2856 EL CAMINO REAL
The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2015-07 was filed
by Heather Luther of Manic Mind Productions, LLC., requesting approval for a
temporary haunted house use within an existing 15,694 square -foot tenant
space located at 2856 EI Camino Real.
B. That the property is zoned Planned Community Mixed (PCMU) in the East
Tustin Specific Plan (ETSP) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of
Planned Community Commercial/Business, which provides for a variety of retail
and service commercial uses including commercial recreation uses. The
project is consistent with the Air Quality Sub -element of the City of Tustin
General Plan.
C. That in accordance with TCC Section 9299b(3)(fl, the Zoning Administrator is
authorized to consider minor conditional use permits for existing development
where there would be no change of primary use, there would be no expansion
of floor area, and the request would not alter the original intent of the project or
site.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2015-07 on
July 6, 2015, by the Zoning Administrator.
E. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed fitness
center 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 a detriment to the property and
improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, nor to the general
welfare of the City of Tustin as evidenced by the following findings:
1. Commercial recreation facilities including bowling, ice skating and
similar uses are conditionally permitted within the East Tustin Specific
Plan and the proposed temporary haunted house is similar to said
uses.
2. All activities would occur entirely within the building.
3. As conditioned, adequate security personnel will be present during
business hours.
4. As conditioned, appropriate emergency procedures will be in place and
trained personnel will be present during business hours to effectively
respond to emergency situations.

5. Parking for the proposed use can be accommodated as there is a
surplus of over 700 parking stalls in the Tustin Market Place shopping
center.
6. The proposed hours of operation are compatible with other uses within
the Tustin Market Place shopping center.
7. As conditioned, Conditional Use Permit 2015-07 may be reviewed as
needed, by the Community Development Director. If the use is not
operated in accordance with Conditional Use Permit 2015-07 or is found
to be a nuisance or negative impacts are affecting the surrounding uses,
the Community Development Director would have the authority to
impose additional conditions to eliminate the nuisance or negative
impacts or may initiate proceedings to revoke the Conditional Use
Permit.
8. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and, as
conditioned, has no immediate concerns.
F. 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 Zoning Administrator hereby approves CUP 2015-07, authorizing a temporary
haunted house use to be established within an existing tenant space located at 2856 EI
Camino Real., subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A, attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin, at a regular
meeting on the 6th day of July, 2015.
