SUBJECT: VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 14883 AND ZONE CHANGE 93-005 (JOHN
LAING HOMES)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
me
Approve the Environmental Determination for the project by
adopting Resolution No. 94-66;
·
Approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14883 by adopting
Resolution No. 94-67, as submitted or revised; and
·
Either have first reading by title only and introduction of
Ordinance 1127 approving Zone Change 93-005; or an alternate
resolution for denial.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is an applicant initiated project. The applicant has
paid application fees to recover the cost of processing this
application.
BACKGROUND
The applicant proposes to subdivide a 14.616 gross acre si~e into
one numbered lot and 4 lettered lots to accommodate 223
condominiums. Prior to development, the Planning Commission has to
approve the Design Review and Environmental Determination for the
project pursuant to the provisions of the East Tustin Specific Plan
(ETSP). The Planning Commission is granted the authority to
recommend approval of the subdivisions of land, according to Tustin
City Code Section 9312. Pursuant to Section 9313, the City Council
has the final approval authority for the division of land and
subdivisions.
The applicant has also proposed an amendment to the East Tustin
Specific Plan (a Zoning Code Amendment) to modify the development
standards for multiple family and condominium dwellings in the
ETSP. Pursuant to Section 3.14 of the ETSP, the Planning
Commission may recommend approval of a zone change to the City
Council, which is authorized to approve the amendment by ordinance.

On May 23, 1994, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
approved the Environmental Determination for the project
(Resolution No. 3261); approved Design Review 93-043 (Resolution
No. 3262); recommended to the City Ccuncil approval of Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 14883 (Resolution No. 3263); and recommended to
the City Council approval of Zone Change 93-005 (Resolution No.
3264).
Located in Sector 7 of the ETSP, the site is bounded by Tract 14110
(Ventana) across Greenway Drive to the north, Tustin Ranch Golf
Course to the east and south and Tract 13990 (Alicante) across
Tustin Ranch Road to the west.
Development of the sUbject site was previously approved with
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14068 in July of 1990, when The William
Lyon Company submitted a tentative trac~ map and design review for
the construction of 200 condominiums. Final maps for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 14068 were not filed with the City and
development of the property was never initiated by The William Lyon
Company. Subsequently, The William Lyon Company, in February,
1993, obtained approval of Zone Change 92-002, (City Council
Ordinance No. 1102) which amended the land use designation density
of the project site from Medium-Density (up to 18 dwelling units
per acre) to Medium-High density, (up to 25 dwelling units per
acre).
A public hearing notice identifying the time, date and location of
the public hearing on this project was published in the_Tustin
News. Property owners within 300 feet of the site were notified of
the hearing by mail and notices were posted on the site, at City
Hall and at the Tustin Police Department. The applicant was
informed of the availability of a staff report on this project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE PLAN
Submitted development plans for the prcject proposes construction
of 223 two-story condominium units at a maximum density of 15.69
dwelling units per acre. The ETSP would permit a maximum of 25
dwelling units per acre within the Medium-High Density Residential
Category.
Primary access to the site along Greenway Drive is provided by a
private entry with a 50 foot wide righ~-of-way width and 40 foot
curb to curb dimension width. A secondary access is also provided
on Greenway Drive approximately 360 feet east of the primary

entrance by a 46 foot wide right-of-way and 36 foot wide curb to
curb width. The street system within the project is a main loop
private street with a 46 foot right-of-way which includes a 36 foot
wide curb to curb dimension and 5 foot sidewalks on each side of
the private street accommodating parking on both sides of the
street. Individual units would be served from a court system which
includes garages accessed by a 24 foot wide private drive which
connects to the main loop street. All streets and facilities
within the development are proposed to be private and will be
maintained by the property owners, or the Homeowner's Association.
The applicant proposes to construct condominium buildings around a
garage court. The purpose of the garage court concept is to
contain vehicular circulation to small areas, thus allowing greater
movement for pedestrians. The garage courts are accessed by a
minimum 24 foot wide private drive and provides vehicular access to
all two car garages contained in the condominium building.
Adequate turning radius is provided inside the court with a minimum
distance of 36 feet. As the condominium building is designed
around a garage court, the four exterior elevations of the
condominium building are open for pedestrian use. The developer
has designed the condominium buildings so that at least one front
door of a unit is on each elevation of tke condominium building.
Pedestrian access to these front doors is facilitated with
pedestrian walkways which link to the sidewalk adjacent to the loop
street.
The project contains four different building types; a 5-unit
complex, 10-unit complex, ll-unit complex and 12-unit complex. All
buildings are proposed to be two-stories and 30 feet in overall
height, consistent with the ETSP. Five different floor plans are
proposed with floor plan areas ranging from 1,033 square feet to
1,344 square feet. Floor plans include one, 2-bedroom unit with
two baths, two, 2-bedroom units with 2½ baths, and two, 3-bedroom
units with 2½ baths, totaling 223 units.
Parking for the project meets the requirements of the ETSP. A two-
car garage is provided per each unit, totaling 446 covered parking
spaces. Additionally, 113 open parking spaces are provided
throughout the project to meet the ETSP's requirement of .5 open
unassigned spaces per unit.
The subject project would be part of ~he Master Homeowner's
Association, which includes Lots 9, 10, ~1 and 12 (see vicinity
map, Attachment B) and was created prinarily for the use and

maintenance of the private park located across Greenway Drive, east
of Lot 11. This private park provides swimming facilities and
playground equipment for adjacent Tracts 13734 (Lots 9 and 10) and
14110 (Lot 11).
AMENDMENTS TO ~ST TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN (ZONE CHANGE 93-005)
The app].icant proposes an Amendment to the ETSP (Zone Change 93-
005) to modify Section 3.6.3.A2.4 (Building Setbacks for Multiple
Family and Condominium Dwellings) to accommodate the design of the
proposed project, as the setback of the garages on both sides of
the private drive garage court entry do not meet the required five
foot setback specified by the ETSP. The applicant proposes that
the garages be set baCk three feet.
The proposed Amendments to the ETSP would allow a main building
structure to be setback five feet from any private drive, and
reduce the garage setback to three feet for a maximum length of 45
feet of building frontage on each side of the drive when a private
drive is bounded on one, or both sides by a building, thus creating
a building entrance. The main building setback of five feet would
apply to any living area over garages. Further revisions would
include administrative clarification of existing building setback
in Section 3.6.3.A2.4 (Building setbacks for multiple family and
condominium dwelling) of the ETSP. The proposed modifications to
Section 3.6.3.A2.4 are identified below. Shaded areas indicate
added language and strikeout areas indicate deleted language.

ef) Structures which abut a park, greenbelt or other permanent
open space may abut the co~on property line."
The proposed language would allow the project to be built as
proposed, and as the developer has recently constructed in the
Foothill Ranch community. The garages would be permitted to be
setback three feet from the private drive for a maximum of 45 feet,
since the maximum length of the garages is 40 feet on the ll-unit
complex and 12-unit complex buildings.
In the event the Council does not wish to approve proposed
amendments to the ETSP, conditions would need to be added to the
attached Planning Co~ission Resolution No.'s 3262 and 3263 to
re~ire modifications to buildings to comply with current ETSP
retirements. An ordinance for approval has been attached and
would need to be modified to make negative findings if it is the
Council's desire not to amend the ETSP.
ISSUES
A Development Agreement providing for the applicant to make a
financial contribution for development of parks in East Tu~tin was
approved with Zone Change 92-002 for the site. This Agreement
provides for $2,000 per unit to be paid to the City for each
dwelling unit constructed over 18 dwelling units per acres. It was
anticipated that approximately $92,000 was going to be received by
the City to be utilized for development of parks in East Tustin.
However, as the proposed density for the project is 15.69 dwelling
units per acres, no contribution would be received by the City upon
approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14883 unless the City
Council wished to request such a payment as a pre-condition to any
zoning code amendment on the property.
As presented to the Planning Commission on May 23, 1994, the
conceptual landscape plans call for an approximately half acre
orchard as a focal point across from the project entry (Attachment
C). The developer's intention is to capture a sense of history
tkrough the use of dwarf ornamental kumquat trees, (Nagami
City Council Report
VTTM 14883 & ZC 93-005
June 6, 1994
Page 6
Kumquat). Approximately 119 trees would be planted in the half
acre of open area behind buildings 18 to 21. Approximately 13
trees would be planted beside unit 18, and 25 trees would be
planted beside unit 21. The trees would be planted in 8 foot by 8
foot raised wood planters approximately four feet apart in a grid
pattern. The dwarf kumquat trees would grow to approximately 6
feet in height at maturity. The developer intends the dwarf
kumquat trees to be reminiscent of the orange groves that were
present in Orange County prior to it's urban development.
The extensive use of dwarf kumquat trees in a half acre of usable
open space of the project was of concern to the Community
Development Department. The proposed orchard would be an
inefficient use of a valuable amenity, as a half acre of contiguous
open space would rarely be available in most developments. The
half acre could better serve the development by providing passive
or interactive open Space including such amenities as tot lots,
volleyball courts or horseshoe pits, for example. Furthermore, the
Police Department is concerned that since the proposed project has
no amenities such as tot lots or recreational opportunities on the
premises, the kumquat grove will become the recreational
attraction. Due to the size of the proposed grove and its
potential for lack of visibility once trees have matured, it would
be impossible for homeowner's to police the grove. The Police
Department also anticipates nuisance complaints to the Police
Department regarding the large kumquat grove behind units 18 to 21.
Staff recommended to the Planning Commission that the kumquat trees
be eliminated, and that the balance of the open space around these
buildings be designated to be a more usable open space amenity for
the residents for passive or active-recreation. However, the
Planning Commission approved the project as proposed. The
Commission also approved condition of approval 4.12 of Resolution
No. 3262, adopting the applicant's alternative design (Attachment
D) should the developer or homeowners association find it desirable
to eliminate the majority of the kumquat trees in the future. The
alternative landscape plan provides only 39 kumquat trees planted
in a grove as previously described, located directly across from
the primary entrance behind unit 19. The balance of the grove area
would be sod with a group of accent trees.
The Planning Commission also approved individual trash can service
for the project instead of trash enclosures, based on adcpted
policy interpretations of the East Tustin Policy Committee (a
committee of two City Council representatives) in 1989. As two car

garages with internal access to the unit are provided, and as the
average size of the garages are 19.2 feet by 20 feet, which is
greater in area than the required minimum of 18 feet by 19.5 feet,
it may be convenient for property owners to set trash out on the
day of pick up. Furthermore, as trash would be set out in the
garage courts, the cans would have limited visibility from the loop
street, and may not obstruct pedestrian circulation nor access to
each unit. Great Western Reclamation has provided a letter stating
that adequate access is available and they agree to provide
individual can pick up. Condition of approval 7.1R of Resolution
No. 3263 has been included to require that CC&R's contain
provisions that establish appropriate regulations for maintenance
and appearance and which require can removal from their pickup
location to the garage unit within 12 hours after pick up.
Condition 1.20 has also been added to Resolution No. 3263 requiring
that the pavement section of all private drives be consistent with
the minimum requirement for private street sections, as required by
the City's construction standards for private streets to
accommodate the weight, stop and start, and street maintenance
issues related to refuse truck service.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Based upon review of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14883 as well as
Environmental Impact Report 85-2, it's supplements and addendum,
including Addendum No. 4 to EIR 85-2 approving Zone Change 92-002,
it has been determined that environmental issues relating to this
project have previously been addressed and the initial study for
the project is attached to this report. Also, appropriate
mitigating measures identified in EIR 85-2 are included as
conditions of approval for the project. With this information in
mind, it is recommended that the Council make the finding that
requirements of the Californian Environmental Quality Act have been
met and that no future environmental review is required.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
A list of conditions of approval is included within the attached
Resolution No.s 3262, 3263 and 3264. Outside of specific issues
discussed in this report, conditions of approval are standard
conditions required by the Specific Plan, other applicable
municipal codes, the approved Development Agreement for the project
area, or requirements of City Department or outside reviewing
agencies.

CONCLUSION
Given the analysis conducted by the Community Development
Department and in consideration of comments from other agencies and
the public, it is concluded that the proposed project meets the
requirements of the East Tustin Specific Plan, the Subdivision Map
Act as adopted and the California Environmental Quality Act.
With the inclusion of conditions of approval listed in Planning
Commission Resolution No.s 3262, 3263, and 3264 it is recommended
that the City Council approve the Environmental Determination for
the project by adopting Resolution No. 94-66, approve Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 14883 by adopting Resolution No. 94-67, and
either approve Zone Change 93-005 by adopting Ordinance 1127; or an
alternate resolution for denial.

Mandatory Findings of Significance.
ae
Does the project have the potential to
degrade the quality of the environment
substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate
a plant or animal community, reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods
of California history or prehistory?
be
Does the project have the potential to
achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-
term impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term impacts will
endure well into the future).
Ce
Does the project have impacts which are
individually limited, but cumulatively con-
siderable? (A project may impact on two
or more separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of those
impacts on the environment is significant.)
de
Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or
indirectly?
III. Discussion of Environmental Evaluation - See Attached
IV. Determination
(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a
significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have
a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measure described on an attached sheet have
been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL
BE PREPARED
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect
on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is required. ~ V~~'i~

DESIGN REVIEW 93-043v ZONE CHANGE 93-005
LOT 12v TRACT 12870
223 RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM UNITS
BACKGROUND
The proposed project is an application by John Laing Homes to
subdivide a 14.616 gross acre lot into one numbered lot and 4
lettered lots for the construction of 223 residential condominium
units. The improvement of this property is governed by the
regulations adopted by the East Tustin Specific Plan (ETSP) and the
City's Grading Ordinance. Included in the project is a zone change
to modify SeCtion 3.6.3.A2.4 (Building Setbacks for Multiple Family
and Condominium Dwellings) of the ETSP. The zone change would
allow a main building structure to be setback five feet from any
private drive; and reduce the garage setback to three feet for a
maximum length of 45 feet of building frontage on each side of the
drive when a private drive is bounded on one, or both sides by a
building, thus creating a building entrance. The main building
setback of five feet would apply to any living area over garages.
Further revisions would include administrative clarification of
existing building setbacks in Section 3.6.3.A2.4 of the ETSP.
Zone Change 92-002, which amended the ETSP Land Use Map in 1992,
changed the project site's land use designation from Medium
Density, allowing a maximum of 18 dwelling units per acre, to
Medium-High Density, allowing 25 dwelling units per acre. The
environmental impact of Zone Change 92-002 was fully evaluated in
Addendum No. 4 to EIR 85-2 which found no significant changes to
anticipated site conditions or project area as a result of the zone
change. The proposed vesting tentative tract map proposes 223
condominium units on 14.214 net acres, resulting in a density of
15.69 dwelling units per acre, which is approximately 37.25% less
than the permitted density under the ETSP. Furthermore, as the
density would be less than 18 dwelling units per acre, the proposed
project is consistent with the Medium Density land use designation
for which EIR 85-2 previously identified impacts to the site.
Located in Sector 7 of the ETSP, the subject site is bounded by
Tract 14110 (Ventana) across Greenway Drive to the north, Tustin
Ranch Golf Course on the east and south, and Tract 13990 (Alicante)
across Tustin Ranch Road to the west.
This is a tiered initial study that is based on and incorporates by
reference, the environmental analysis included in EIR 85-2, which
was previously certified on March 17, 1986, and subsequently
amended with supplements and addenda including Addendum No. 4 to
EIR 85-2 for Zone Change 92-002 for the ETSP. In conformance with
Exhibit A - Initial Study
VTTM 14883, DR 93-043, ZC 93-005
April 23, 1994
Page 2
CEQA, the purpose of this tiered initial study is to identify and
focus the environmental analysis for the project on significant new
environmental impacts that were not previously considered in the
Program EIR.
EIR 85-2 as subsequently amended with supplements and addenda
identified several impact categories where a Statement of
Overriding Consideration was adopted by the City for the entire
ETSP area. For the purposes of this initial study check list,
these items have been checked "Yes" and an evaluation has been made
to ensure that projects previously identified have not been
intensified. Mitigation measures identified in the EIR to minimize
the impacts that would be applicable to this project have been
identified.
EIR 85-2 as subsequently amended with supplements and addenda also
identified several impact categories where impacts could be
lessened to a level of insignificance with the imposition of
mitigation measures. Staff has reviewed each of these impact
categories to be sure no new project impacts associated with the
project would occur that were not identified in the Program EIR.
For the purposes of this initial study check list, these items have
been checked "No" and the mitigation measures identified in the
Program EIR that would be applicable to this project that are
included as part of the project have been identified.
Impact categories not identified to have a potential impact in EIR
85-2 as subsequently amended with supplements and addenda have been
also checked "No" and were also reviewed to ensure that no new
impacts would be created by the project. Since the ETSP included
a variety of uses, ie: residential, community facilities, and
commercial use, some of the impact categories may not be
applicable.

The requested Zone Change 93-005 would not result in a
substantial alteration of the planned land use of the area.
The zone change would allow for an alternate configuration of
building structures within the maximum density permitted for
the project. EIR 85-2 requires compliance with the
guidelines and provision of the ETSP in order to facilitate
orderly development of the project and mitigate the potential
for land use conflicts. The proposed zone change is
consistent with the provisions of the ETSP. The site was
anticipated to be designated as Medium-Density residential by
the land use plan. The impacts to the site by a Medium-
Density development allowing up to 18 dwelling units per acre
was considered by certified EIR 85-2, it's supplements and
amendments. The project will have a density of only 15.69
dwelling units per acre, consistent with the original ETSP
land use designation. The program EIR identified that the
development of the project site would result in the gradual
conversion of existing open space into urban use. The City
Council considered the benefits of the specific plan and
balanced those benefits against the project's unavoidable

Item A - "Yes": The subject 223 residential condominium unit
development would have primary access from a 40 foot wide
private entry off of Greenway Drive, an existing improved
street with 60 feet of right-of-way width. This 40 foot wide
entrance would align with Colonial Drive which provides access
to Tract 14110 on the north side of Greenway Drive. Secondary
access to the tract would be provided by a 36 foot wide
private entry street off of Greenway, approximately 360 feet
east of the primary entrance. On-site circulation will
consist of a 36 foot wide private loop street, accommodating
parking on both sides. Twenty 24 foot wide drives would
provide access to the garage courts which contain an attached,
two car garage for each condominium unit.
Trip generation for the subject project is determined by
multiplying the trip rate for multiple family dwellings

projects which is 7 Average Daily Trips (ADT) per unit by the
number of units. The total trip generation for the project
would be 1,561 ADT.
Greenway Drive and Tustin Ranch Road were designed for
critical peak loads, which are on weekdays between 7:00 t 9:00
a.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. According to the General Plan,
Greenway Drive is a local street designed to accommodate local
traffic at an acceptable level of service and distribute this
traffic to the City's arterial roadway system. Greenway Drive
currently operates at LOS A. Tustin Ranch Road is identified
as a major arterial in the City's General Plan, and is
constructed to ultimate major arterial status in the location
of this project. According to the General Plan, Tustin Ranch
Road has a maximum capacity of 56,300 ADT at LOS E.
Currently, traffic volumes on Tustin Ranch Road is 5,500 ADT,
which represents a LOS A.
The program EIR identifies that the ETSP will generate
increased traffic in the vicinity. The City Council
considered the benefits of the specific plan and balanced
those benefits against the project's unavoidable effects and
chose to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Applicable mitigation measures were incorporated into the
ETSP, including a circulation .plan intended to provide an
adequate circulation system for specific plan traffic, and
mitigate impacts on the existing circulation system. ~ Based on
review of project and program EIR, the project will not worsen
previously identified impacts on the transportation/
circulation in the Program EIR. This proposal has
incorporated applicable measures related to
transportation/circulation into either the submitted plans or
will be included in the conditions of approval, where
applicable, for the subject project. No additional mitigation
measures are required as a result of Zone Change 92-002.
Items B, C, D, E, and F - "No": The project site is within
the Specific Plan area for which the certified EIR 85-2, it's
supplements and addendum identified impacts related to the
proposed development and the resultant negative effects to
transportation/circulation, including: the effects on existing
parking facilities, or demand for new parking; substantial
impact upon existing transportation systems; alterations to
present patterns of circulation or movement of people and/or
goods; alterations to waterborne, rail or air traffic; and

increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or
pedestrians. As all required parking would be provided on
site, there would be no demand for additional parking. As the
surrounding roads have been designed to accommodate peak
traffic demands the proposed project would not have a
substantial impact upon existing transportation systems, as
discussed above, nor would it impact the present patterns of
circulation or movement of people and/or goods. As the site,
plan is designed to the specifications of the ETSP, and the
Tustin City Code, traffic hazards to motor vehicles,
bicyclists or pedestrians would be mitigated. No additional
impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Program
EIR. Mitigation measures were identified in EIR 85-2, it's
supplements and addendum and recommended for implementation.
This proposal has incorporated those measures related to
transportation/circulation into either the submitted plans or
would be included in the conditions of approval, where
applicable, for the subject project.

utilization of public services, such as fire protection,
police protection, infrastructure maintenance and other
governmental services, schools, parks and recreational
facilities. However, impacts to public services were
originally considered as part of EIR 85-2, its supplements and
addendum. The project will not worsen impacts previously
identified in the program EIR as the impacts identified by the
Program EIR anticipated that the site would be designated as
Medium Density by the land use plan, which would allow a
maximum of 18 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project
would provide 223 residential condominium units with a density
of 15.69 units per acre.
The subject site is within the Specific Plan area for which
the certified EIR 85-2, it's supplements and addendum
identified impacts to the project site related to the proposed
development and the resultant negative effects to public
services. The City Council considered the benefits of the
specific plan and balanced those benefits against the
project's unavoidable effects. A Statement of Overriding
Considerations was adopted for the specific plan.
Additionally, mitigation measures were identified in EIR 85-2,
it's supplements and addendum and recommended for implemen-
tation. This proposal has incorporated those measures related
to public services into either the submitted plans or will be
included in the conditions of approval, where applicable, for
the subject project. No additional mitigation measures are

to the City of Tustin Municipal Code, the subject project will
be required to contract for trash removal services with the
City's contracted hauler. The solid waste product is
transported by the hauler to the Material Recovery Facility
(MRF). Once at the MRF, the waste is manually and
mechanically separated and the recyclable materials are
recovered. This program has been implemented by the City in
effort to meet the State requirements identified in the Source
Reduction and Recycling Element related to. the 25 and 50
percent diversion requirements.
It is anticipated that the amount of solid waste will be
accommodated within the City's existing solid waste handling
programs and Will not have a significant impact on the City's
Solid Waste Handling services. The City's existing solid waste
handling program and contracts have been established to
accommodate the development and expansion of new businesses
and residential developments within the City. No additional
impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Program
EIR. No additional mitigation measures are required as a

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project ~AS utilized all feasible
mitigation measures as identified in Final Environmental Impact
Report 85-2 certified on March 17, 1986, and subsequently adopted
supplements and addenda. The program EIR 85-2, it's supplements

as the program EIR as significant impacts were identified and
corresponding mitigation measures were recommended to be
incorporated into the approval process for individual projects.
Therefore, no additional documentation is required.
