PUBLIC HEARING (ITEl+iB 1 THROUGH 2) 1. CERTIFICATION OF A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR ACQUISITION OF A 3.66 ACRE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AT 3075-3097 EDINGER AVENUE (RAIL STATION SITE) Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, reported staff had prepared an Initial Study to determine if acquisition of property located at 3075-3097 Edinger Avenue would have a negative environmental impact. She stated acquisition of the property was necessary for a proposed commuter rail station at the location and clarified that the Initial Study did not reflect commuter rail construction development. It was moved by Worley, seconded by Doyle, to certify that the Final Negative Declaration is adequate for the possible acquisition of a 3.66 acre portion of the property at 3075-3097 Edinger Avenue by adopting the following Resolution No. 95-9: RESOLUTION NO. 95-9 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, CERTIFYING THE FINAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION AS ADEQUATE FOR THE ACQUISITION OF A 3.66 ACRE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AT 3075-3097 EDINGER AVENUE INCLUDING REQUIRED FINDINGS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT Councilmember Thomas stated concern whether the City of Irvine would participate in funding this project; noted his disapproval of a letter from an Irvine resident requesting involvement in the project's design review; and questioned the feasibility of Tustin residents receiving reduced rail or parking fees. William Huston, City Manager, stated that at Council direction, staff was pursuing funding for this project from sources including the Orange County Transit Authority, Riverside Transportation Commission, future land development, and the City of Irvine. He said upon Council approval, the City would exercise caution utilizing State bond financing for the property acquisition because of restrictions that may be placed on the funds. Mayor Saltarelli said it was important for the City of Irvine to pay their share for commuter rail station development and he emphasized the importance of this project to Irvine residents because it would improve the traffic flow in the area. He stated he would not support completion of the project if Tustin ultimately was required to pay the majority of funding due to lack of support from other local agencies; but, he felt confident the City of Irvine would pay their fair share of the project. Council discussion followed regarding investigating reduced rail and parking fees for Tustin residents; City of Irvine support of the project; and traffic benefits. Mayor Saltarelli opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. There were no speakers on the subject and the public hearing was closed. Motion carried 4-0, Potts absent. 690-50 2. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 94-149 AND APPEAL OF VARIANCE 94-011 (DONALD LEJEUNE) Scott Reekstin, Assistant Planner, reported the applicant was requesting authorization to subdivide property located in the Cultural Resources District to allow construction of an historic house on the front portion of the property. On December 12, 1994, the Planning Commission approved a variance for the project and recommended approval of the tentative parcel map. He said in January, Council appealed the Planning Commission action related to the variance and continued the tentative parcel map in order to consider both items at one time. He stated the applicant had received conditional use permit (CUP) approval to place an CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 2-6-95 historic residence on the property; however, a subdivision of the property was requested in lieu of the CUP process to finance construction of the proposed dwelling. He said the required front yard set -back, lot size, and proposed subdivision would be consistent with surrounding properties and was appropriate and compatible with the neighborhood; opposition to the proposed project had been expressed by the public; and he said that based upon staff analysis and Planning Commission approval, it was recommended that Council approve Tentative Parcel Map 94-149 and appeal of Variance 94-011. Mayor Saltarelli opened the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. The following members of the audience spoke in opposition to Tentative Parcel Map 94-149 and appeal of Variance 94-011: Ken Ezell, 365 West Sixth Street, Tustin Bill Collins, 430 W.

There were no other speakers on the subject and the public hearing was closed at 7:50 p.m. Councilmember Worley stated she supported upholding the Planning Commission's recommendation based upon the information presented to Council; noted the applicant was the first Cultural Resources District Chairperson; stated the proposed project would be a positive addition to Old Town; and she believed the applicant's property rights outweighed the neighbors' opposition to the project. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, noted modifications to Resolution No. 95-10 indicating that granting the variance would not constitute a precedent. It was moved by Worley, seconded by Thomas, to certify the Final Negative Declaration as adequate for the project by adopting the following Resolution No. 95-1: RESOLUTION NO. 95-1 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, CERTIFYING THE FINAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION AS ADEQUATE FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 94-149 AND VARIANCE 94-011 INCLUDING REQUIRED FINDINGS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT Councilmember Thomas said he believed this issue appeared to be a neighbor dispute; the project would enhance Old Town; and stated concern that comments by Jeff Thompson, Cultural Resources Overlay District Chairperson, appeared contraryto Council position. Councilmember Doyle said he believed reconstruction of an historical house was a personal property right; approving a subdivision of the lot would allow financing for the project; and the project would be an excellent addition to Old Town. Mayor Saltarelli said he supported the project, and that Mr. Thompson did not address Council as a Cultural Resources Overlay District representative and could voice opposition to the project. Motion carried 4-0, Potts absent. It was moved by Worley, seconded by Thomas, to uphold the Planning Commission's approval of Variance 94-011 by adopting the following Resolution No. 95-10 as modified: CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4, 2-6-95 RESOLUTION NO. 95-10 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF VARIANCE 94-011 TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH OF PARCEL 2 OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 94-149 FROM SIXTY (60) FEET TO 22 FEET AND TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM FENCE HEIGHT IN THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK AREA OF PARCEL 2 OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 94-149 FROM THREE (3) FEET TO 6'-8" AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 440 WEST MAIN STREET Motion carried 4-0, Potts absent.
