BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval to construct a 6,940 square foot addition to the
Tustin Heights shopping center located at 1212 Irvine Boulevard. The shopping center
includes a number of retail uses such as a Ralphs market, Longs Drugs retail/pharmacy,
Michael's Arts and Craft, Linda Evans Fitness Center, a freestanding restaurant (Lone
Star), Hollywood Video, and other in-line retail uses such as dry cleaning, stationery, and
fast food uses. Based on the parking requirements of the zoning, the center is deficient in
parking, and shared parking has been requested. Shared parking for sites more than
30,000 square feet require approval of the Planning Commission pursuant to Section
9271aa of Tustin City Code. The site is located within the Retail Commercial (C-1) zoning
district and Town Center Redevelopment Project Area. Design Review requests within
redevelopment areas require approval of the Zoning Administrator, which has been
deferred to the Planning Commission to be considered concurrently with the conditional
use permit.
Site and Surrounding Properties
The proposed addition is located at the southeast corner of the Tustin Heights shopping
center on the south side of Irvine Boulevard east of Newport Avenue. Surrounding uses
include commercial and residential uses to the south, professional offices to the east,
commercial and institutional facility uses to the north, and commercial uses to the west
(Attachment A- Location Map). Access to the site is provided from several driveways
along Irvine Boulevard, and the residential development to the south has been granted an
easement for access through the site.
DISCUSSION
The proposed project involves construction of a 6,940 square foot building addition
(Attachment B - Submitted Plans). The site was primarily used as an outdoor retail area
and has not been leased for several years. The outdoor area is enclosed by wrought iron
fencing on the front, and chain link fencing and wood slats on the side, and a covered
portion at the rear; all these existing improvements would be demolished. The applicant
hopes to lease to a variety of prospective uses such as retail, restaurant, or
medical/dental offices. A worst-case scenario (i.e., medical/dental office use) was
considered in the preparation of the parking study to ensure flexibility in selecting tenants.
Site Plan
The retail center is approximately twelve (12) acres in area, and includes 131,518 square
feet of building area and 580 parking spaces. The in-line tenant building is located along
the south of the site and two freestanding tenant pads (Lone Star and Hollywood Video)
are located along Irvine Boulevard. The expansion is proposed at the southeast corner of
the in-line tenant building adjacent to Michael's Arts and Craft store. The tenants of the
addition would share the existing trash facilities in the center. Condition 2.2 is included to
require the applicant to submit a letter of acceptance from Federal Disposal at plan check
or provide an additional trash enclosure to the rear of the building with appropriate access
and screening. While a block wall separates the site from residential properties to the
Planning Commission Report
DR 02-038, CUP 02-028
April 14, 2003
Page 3
east, a portion of the wall is leaning and needs repair. In addition, the wall appears to be
lower than the six (6) foot eight (8) inches required for separation of commercial and
residential uses (Tustin City Code Section 9271). Condition 2.18 is included to require
the property owner to repair and raise the height of the wall to the required height.
Architecture/Landscaping
The applicant has proposed extension of t,he retail building with the same height and
building design. The proposed tenant space would include a storefront facing the parking
lot to the north and two storefront areas to the east. The space would be potentially
divided into two suites: a north facing 5,225 square foot suite in the front and an east
facing 1,400 square foot suite in the rear. The expansion would also accommodate an
exit corridor for the existing end suite adjacent to the proposed area. The building is
designed with a fiat roof and stucco walls with parapet heights of twenty-two (22) feet and
nineteen (19) feet to complement the existing building height. The building design is
complementary to the existing shopping center with arched accents and keystones at the
parapet and matching veranda columns. Matching stucco and storefront systems are
proposed for the new addition (Attachment B - Submitted Plans/Elevations). Any new
signs would be required by Condition 3.6 to be consistent with the master sign program
for Tustin Heights Shopping Center and compatible with existing signs in the center.
Lighting for the parking lot exists; no additional lighting is proposed at this time. However,
the expansion and the proposed parking area would need to comply with the minimum
lighting level of one (1) foot candle as required by Tustin Security Code. Condition 2.2 is
included to require submittal of a lighting plan with specifications for all exterior lighting at
plan check.
The existing landscaping will be maintained and additional landscape areas are proposed
to be provided along the east side of the addition. Condition 4.1 is included to require
submittal of a landscape plan at plan check that complies with the City's Landscape and
Irrigation Guidelines.
Parking
The entire site, which is under single ownership, contains 580 parking spaces in the
front and eight (18) parking spaces in the rear. The applicant is proposing to install
sixteen (16) new parking spaces to the east of the proposed addition, and four (4)
parking spaces would be permanently eliminated along the northwest portion of the site
as part of the acquisition and reconstruction of right-of-way for the Irvine Boulevard
widening project. Thus, a total of 592 parking spaces would be provided in the front of
the center after public and private improvements to the site.
The applicant submitted a parking study with parking counts conducted during the peak
hours of the weekdays and weekends (Attachment C - Parking Study). The parking
study considered the 592 parking spaces that would be available on the front. The
study concluded that use of the proposed addition, as a retail use, restaurant use, or
medical/dental office use, would demand a maximum of forty-two (42) spaces. Since
the peak parking periods were Saturday and Wednesday evening, where 89 and 99
Planning Commission Report
DR 02-038, CUP 02-028
April 14, 2003
Page 4
open spaces would be available respectively, the study concludes that adequate
parking would be provided in the center. In addition, the study also found that sufficient
parking would be available in the immediate vicinity of the addition.
The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the study with respect to the content,
methodology, findings, and conclusions and determined that sufficient parking would be
available. To ensure that adequate parking would be available at all times, Condition
6.1 is included to require submittal of a new traffic and/or parking studies for any
changes to the existing and proposed uses and Condition 6.2 would require the
preparation of a new parking study or a traffic study if parking or circulation problems
arise in the future.
A decision to approve the project may be supported by the following findings:
,
· The proposed addition complies with the development standards and
requirements of the Retail Center (C-1) zoning district, with the exception of
parking for which a shared parking study has been submitted in accordance with
Section 9271aa of the Tustin City Code (TCC);
In accordance with TCC Section 9271aa, the applicant has submitted a parking
study prepared by a licensed traffic engineer demonstrating that there will be
sufficient parking for all existing and proposed uses. The City's Senior Project
Manager of Transportation has accepted the study's methodology as complete
and accurate. The approval of a conditional use permit for shared parking for
the center will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general
welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, nor be injurious or
detrimental to properties or improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general
welfare of the community in that:
The parking study concludes that the proposed 592 parking spaces would
be adequate to serve the parking demand for all existing and proposed
uses. During peak parking periods on Saturday and Wednesday
evenings, 89 and 99 open spaces are anticipated to be available,
respectively, which exceeds the maximum of forty-two parking spaces that
would be required for the addition to be used for a retail use, restaurant
use with a maximum of 126 seats, or a medical/dental office use;
Shared parking within the center is distributed throughout the center and
provides adequate and convenient access to all existing and proposed
uses; and,
All shared parking is located on a property under single ownership and a
reciprocal access agreement is not required.
The proposed project will not have a negative effect on the surrounding
properties or impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the

present or future development, or the occupancy, or community as a whole in
that the location, height, massing, and scale, and architectural design and site
amenities of the addition will be an extension of the existing in-line retail building
using similar architectural details such as arched veranda, keystones at the
parapet, and a matching storefront system. The colors and textures of the
addition, as conditioned, will match the existing building.

Dear Mr. Dvorak:
This letter report presents a parking analysis for the available space located adjacent (east
side), to the Michael's Arts & Crafts store located within the TUstin Heights shopping center
in the City of Tustin. These analyses are based upon discussions with City Staff, information
provided by you and your representatives, field studies, parking counts, and standard
reference material.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project area was previously utilized as an outdoor nursery, which was a part of
a big box tenant. Figure I illustrates the site plan and indicates the location of the proposed
new building area within the shopping center along with the parking areas which were
counted. The proposed expansion is 6,940 SF and is located in the southeast corner of the
Tustin Heights shopping center. At the time of preparing this parking study, them were no
perspective tenants for the vacant area, therefore, a variety of land uses such as retail, office,
restaurant and medical/dental office were utilized in the study to determine the parking
adequacy under each of these uses.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing uses within the Tustin Heights shopping center were verified and are listed in
Table 1, along with the associated square footages and hours of operation. As shown in
Table 1, other than the proposed expansion area, there are no vacant suites within the strip
portion of the center. In addition, all the pad areas located within the center are all occupied.
Based on existing counts at the Tustin Heights shopping center, there are approximately 590
existing parking spaces to serve the center. It should be noted that there are parking spaces
available within the area south of the buildings at the west end of the site; however these
parking spaces probably would not be utilized by customers of the proposed project area and
therefore were not included in these analysis.
CITY PARKING CODE
The City of Tustin, Planning Department was contacted to obtain the City Parking Codes for
the uses within the Tustin Heights shopping center. The parking code requirements are shown
below:
RETAIL
RESTAURANT
MEDICAL / DENTAL OFFICE
I Space Per 200 SF
I Space Per 3 Seats
1 Space Per 250 SF (1sT 4,000 SF) &
6 Spaces Per 1,000 SF (excess of 4,000 SF)
FITNESS CENTER 7.2 Spaces Per 1,000 SF(~)
(1) Per Parking Study completed for Linda Evans Fitness Center dated May 30, 2000.
These rates were applied to each of the tenants within the Tustin Heights shopping center and
the results are provided in Table 2. As shown, a total of 748 parking spaces would be
required for the entire shopping center, which would include the proposed expansion area
located east of Michael's Arts & Crafts store. As stated earlier, the Tustin Heights shopping
center currently provides a total of 590 parking spaces. The parking located adjacent to the
expansion area, labeled as "Parking Area 25", will be restriped to provide a total of 16
parking spaces. There are four (4) parking spaces located on the north-west portion of the

NOTE: The Medical/Dental Office parking ratio is applied to the total square feet of medical/dental use within

spaces per 1,000 SF in excess of 4,000 SF.)

site which will be deleted due to future widening along the Irvine Boulevard and Newport
Avenue intersection. Overall, the site will provide a total of 592 parking spaces. Again
parking located in the back of the shopping center was not included in these analyses. Based
upon these data there would be a parking deficit per City Code requirements.
FIELD STUDIES
In order to determine the actual parking demands within the Tustin Heights shopping center
during a specific time of day, parking demand counts were performed by Southland, a traffic
data collection company. Due to the fact that a tenant for the project site has not been
identified and the hours of operation are unknown, counts were conducted to cover AM,
Midday and PM time periods. Counts were performed on Wednesday (6/19/02) and Saturday
(6/15/02) from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM by half hour intervals. The
day and time periods were discussed and agreed upon with City Staff.
The existing parking lot was subdivided into 25 parkingareas to provide detailed information
on where the current parking demand exists. These subdivided areas are shown on Figure
I and the count data can be found in Appendix A.
Table 3 summarizes the parking count data for each time period. As shown in Table 3, the
weekend peak parking period for the shopping center on Saturday (6-15-02)occurred at
10:00 AM with 256 parked vehicles and the weekday peak parking period on Wednesday (6-
19-02) occurred at 6:00 PM with 275 parked vehicles, which can be easily accommodated
with the 592 parking spaces provided.
Due to the fact that the shopping center is quite large, a detailed examination of where
vehicles were parking was completed in order to determine available parking within close
proximity to the project site. Review of Figure I indicates that parking areas 17, 19-22, and
25 would most likely utilized by patrons of the proposed project expansion site. Table 4

documents the number of parked vehicles observed in these specific parking areas and the
count data can be found in Appendix B.
As shown in Table 4, the weekend and weekday peak parking periods for the six parking
areas stated above were observed on Saturday (6-15-02) at 6:30 PM with 87 parked vehicles
and on Wednesday (6-19-02) at 6:00 PM with 77 parked vehicles. A total of 176 parking
spaces are provided within these six parking areas.
ANAL YSE$
The focus of these analyses is to document the actual parking demand in proximity to the
expansion area and to determine if there is justification for the Conditional Use Permit 02-
028. The parking demand analysis not only accounted for parking associated with the existing
uses within the Tustin Heights shopping center, but also the parking space demand for the
proposed project.
As previously stated in the report, there are no perspective tenants for the project site,
therefore a variety of land uses which include retail, office, bank, medical/dental office and
restaurant were chosen to be included in the analysis as potential land uses. Table 5
provides required parking information for the expansion area based upon each potential land
use, the proposed expansion area square footage of 6,940 square feet and the City of
Tustin's parking code data. An assumption was made, regarding the restaurant land use that
approximately 50 seats could be provided. As shown in Table 5, the medical/dental land use
would generate the highest parking demand of 42 parking spaces and therefore was utilized
within the analysis as the "proposed tenant" for a worst case scenario.
For convenience, the parking demand counts were translated into "REMAINING AVAILABLE
SPACES", so the remaining parking supply could be cOmpared to the projected parking
demand. The proposed tenant, under a worst case scenario, would require 42 parking

There is currently 3,654 SF of Dental office use within the center. The project is proposing a total
of 6,940 SF. Of the 6,940 SF for the proposed project, 1 space per 250 SF would be applied to 346

spaces as indicated in Table 5. Table 3, which provides information on all parking areas,
indicates that these 42 parking spaces can be adequately served by the 336 remaining
spaces on Saturday and 317 available spaces on Wednesday during the center's peak
parking periods.
Based upon the size of the shopping center, a more detailed analyses was performed on the
parking supply in close proximityto the proposed expansion area utilizing parking areas 17,~
19-22 and 25. Similar to the overall parking analyses, the detailed analysis translated the
parking demand counts into "REMAINING AVAILABLE SPACES"so the remaining parking
supply in these six parking areas could be compared to the projected parking demand. As
shown in Table 4, the 42 parking space demand for the proposed'expansion area can be
adequately served by the 89 remaining spaces on Saturday and 99 available spaces on
Wednesday during the center's peak parking periods.
SUMMARY
Parking for the proposed expansion area located east of the Michael's Art and Craft store
within the Tustin Heights shopping center in the City of Tustin was analyzed on two levels; one
based upon City Code and the other based upon actual demand. Utilizing the City's Parking
Code, there would be a parking deficit and Conditional Use Permit 02-028 would address
the reduction of off-street parking requirements through approval of a shared parking, analysis.
Information based upon current field studies and projected parking demands for a proposed
tenant with a "worst case" land use assumption indicates that there would be a minimum
parking surplus of 317 parking spaces, after the entire shopping center was parked.
Analyzing the parking within close proximity to the expansion area within the center, by utilizing
parking areas 17, 19-22 and 25 indicated that there would be a parking surplus of 89 parking
spaces.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW 02-038 AUTHORIZING
CONSTRUCTION OF 6,940 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION TO AN EXISTING
SHOPPING CENTER LOCATED AT 1212 IRVlNE BOULEVARD AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 02-028 FOR SHARED PARKING FOR
125,458 SQUARE FEET OF EXISTING RETAIL BUILDINGS, A 6,060
SQUARE FOOT EXISTING FREESTANDING RESTAURANT BUILDING
(162 SEATS), AND A 6,940 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
That a proper application for Design Review 02-038 and Conditional
Use Permit 02-028 was filed by Pan Pacific requesting authorization to
construct a 6,940 square foot addition to an existing shopping center
and establish shared parking for 125,458 square feet of existing retail
buildings, a 6,060 square foot existing freestanding restaurant building
(162 seats), and a 6,940 square foot addition.
B.
That the proposed use is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in
that the property is designated as "Community Commercial" which
provides for the establishment of commercial uses. In addition, the
project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-
Element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to
be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-Element.
C.
Shared parking is permitted with approval of a conditional use permit
pursuant to Section 9271aa of the Tustin City Code.
D.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on April 14, 2003, by the Planning Commission.
E,
Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of the proposed development will not impair the
orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or
future development therein, or the occupancy as a whole in that the
building location, height, massing, and scale, and the proposed
architectural design and site amenities are consistent with the existing
retail buildings of the shopping center with the use of an arched
veranda, keystones at the parapet, a matching storefront, and
features which are compatible with the setting and similar to other
commercial uses in the area. In making such findings, the
Commission has considered at least the following items:

Development guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City
Council.
F,
That the establishment of shared parking in accordance with Tustin City
Code Section 9271aa, under the circumstances of this case, will not 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 and improvements in
the neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of
the City of Tustin in that:
The proposed addition complies with the development
standards and requirements of the Retail Center (C-1) zoning
district with the exception of parking for which a shared parking
study has been submitted in accordance with Section 9271aa
of Tustin City Code;
The parking study concludes that the proposed 592 parking
spaces would be adequate to serve the parking demand for all
existing and proposed uses. During peak parking periods on
Saturday and Wednesday evenings, 89 and 99 open spaces
are anticipated to be available, respectively, which exceeds the
maximum of forty-two parking spaces that would be required
for the addition to be used for a retail use, restaurant use with a
maximum of 126 seats, or a medical/dental office use;
Shared parking within the center is distributed throughout the
center and provides adequate and convenient access to all
existing and proposed uses; and,
Resolution No. 3866
