PROVIDED A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION REGARDING RESIDENTIAL
DENSITY AND ASSOCIATED LAND USE/POLICY ISSUES
The City of Tustin has received a development application to increase the current
maximum residential density of 25 dwelling units per acre allowable within the
City's General Plan to up to 60 dwelling units per acre. The workshop provided
examples of residential densities to better inform the Planning Commissioners,
City Council Members, and general public as to the spatial and aesthetic
attributes associated with residential projects of various densities. The intent of
the workshop is to: discuss and graphically convey what a project of a particular
density may look and feel like within a community; discuss the associated land
use and other impacts with increased density; and receive general policy direction
on the desirability of increasing residential density in the City. Affected area:
Study Area (generally Red Hill Avenue between EI Camino Real and San Juan
Street) and citywide.
