1.0 INTRODUCTION
The regulations set.forth inlthis set of District Regulations for
the Renaissance Planned Community have been established to satisfy
the Planned Community District requirements of the Tustin City Code
and to provide diversification among the relationships of uses,
buildings, and structures in planned building groups. The
application of these regulations is specifically intended to
encourage the appropriate use of land and create a harmonious
residential development to protect the health, safety and general
welfare of the community and provide the flexibility needed to
create a quality environment.
Development within the Renaissance Planned Community shall occur
pursuant to these Planned Community District Regulations.
2.0 STATISTICAL SUMMARY
The Renaissance Planned Community is approximately 10.14 acres in
size and includes 145 single-family detached dwellings. The
conceptual site plan for the development is shown in Exhibit 1.
The initial development includes a total of three different floor
plans which are as follows:
Lot Size Unit Size Bedrooms Baths Garages
(Approx.) (Approx.)
Plan 1 1,705 s.f. 1,156 s.f. 2+Loft or 3 2.5 2 Car Enc(osed
Ptan 2 1,870 s.f. 1,267 s.f. 2+den or 3 Z.5 2 Car Enclosed
P(an 3 2,200 s.f. 1,552 s.f. 3+tort or 4 2.5 2 Car Enc{osed
It is recognized that the above figures are approximate and are
subject to change during the development of the construction
drawings. In addition, as the development matures, homeowners may
choose to modify their individual homes with respect to items such
as total square footage and room counts which would also effect
these figures. No changes to this Section of the District
Regulations would be required with respect to future changes and
adjustments to the development. However, any new construction,
alterations or modifications to the development or individual
properties would need to comply with all applicable provisions
contained in Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of these District Regulations.

4.7 Housinq Proqram
California Community Redevelopment Law Section 33413(b) (2)
requires that at least 15% of the units developed in a project
by public or private entities other than the Redevelopment
Agency (including such entities receiving Agency assistance)
must be affordable to low and moderate income persons and
households. Of those units, 40% must be affordable to very
low income households (translates to a very low income
requirements of 6% of the total units). The units must remain
affordable for the longest time feasible, but for not less
than the period of the land use controls established in the
Redevelopment Plan, which would be enforced through CC&R's and
deed restrictions on the specific properties. In addition,
Policy 1.4 of the Housing Element promotes dispersion and
integration of housing for low and very low income families
throughout a community as opposed to within a particular
geographic area or neighborhood.
Based upon 145 proposed units, 21 units would need to be
identified as affordable to satisfy the requirements of
Redevelopment Law. Of those 21 units, 13 units would need to
be affordable for low and moderate income households and 8
units would need to be affordable for very low income
households. The State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) publishes figures which are the accepted
standards to determine income eligibility requirements.
'Moderate income groups would be those households with incomes
between 81% and 120% of area median; Low income groups between
51% and 80% of area median; and Very Low income groups below
50% of the area median. Based upon published HCD figures as
of June 1994, the median income for a family of four in Orange
County is $58,800. Based upon the median income, the
affordable units would need to affordable to those households
of four with the incomes as follows:
Moderate Incgme
(120% of median)
$70,560
Low Income $47,040
(80% of median)
Very Low Income $39,900
(50% of median)
Renaissance Planned Community District Regulations 8
These HCD figures vary depending upon household size and are
adjusted annually to reflect the change in median income over
time. The most current HCD figures would be used for each
particular unit at the time building permits are issued for
each respective unit.
The actual detail housing program as requried by conditions of
approval for the Renaissance Planned Community is maintained
in the Community Development Departement of the City of Tustin
and may vary or be modified from time to time based upon
changes is applicable laws and other statutory requirements.
4.8 Severabilit¥ Clause
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or
portion of these District Regulations, or the application
thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be
invalid or unconstitutional by the decisions of any court of
law of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portions of these District
Regulations or its application to other persons or places.
