Place) in conjunction with special events within an ancillary banquet
area facility at the existing Marconi Automotive Museum located at
1302 Industrial Drive.
B. That the Planned Community zoning designation, Pacific Center
East Specific Plan, and Planned Community Commercial/Business
General Plan land use designation provide for a variety of
commercial, office, and industrial 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. That pursuant to Section 4.5.E. of the Pacific Center East Specific
Plan, the Community Development Director has determined that a
conditional use permit is required for on-site alcoholic beverage
service for special events within an ancillary banquet area facility

F. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed
use 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, 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:
1. The banquet use would remain ancillary use to the existing
primary automotive museum use.
2. No fundamental change in the use or operation of the business
would occur as on-site alcoholic beverage service already
occurs in conjunction with special events in the ancillary banquet
area through the use of catering companies.
3. The on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages would be in
conjunction with food service during special events only. As
conditioned, no alcoholic beverages would be served during
regular business hours of the primary automotive museum use.
4. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and
has no immediate concerns.
G. 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 Planning Commission hereby approves CUP 2015-20 authorizing the
service of alcoholic beverages (ABC Type 47 License — On -Sale General
for a Bona Fide Public Eating Place) in conjunction with special events
within an ancillary banquet area facility at the existing Marconi Automotive
Museum located at 1302 Industrial Drive.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin at a regular
