PUBLIC HEARING (ITEM 1)
1. ZONE CHANGE 94-003 AND VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 14934 (D&D
DEVELOPMENT, INC.)
Dan Fox, Senior Planner, reported the applicant was proposing to
subdivide an 11.25 acre site into 145 numbered lots and 33
lettered lots to accommodate 145 single-family detached dwelling
units and demolition of an existing 296 unit apartment complex,
located at the southerly terminus of Newport Avenue. He stated
that improving conditions and creating home ownership
opportunities in this area of the community was critical to the
City's on-going effort to revitalize and stabilize the recent
decline in this neighborhood and the southwest portion of the
City. He said the applicant was proposing to change the zoning
from Multiple -Family to Planned Community -Residential to
accommodate the 145 single family detached dwellings, which would
result in reducing the density to 12.2 dwelling units per acre,
approximately a 50 percent reduction to the existing density on
the property. He summarized the Planned Community District
Regulations; Newport Avenue realignment and right-of-way; the
applicant would not be required to construct improvements along

Avenue; proposed cul de sac; Redevelopment Agency financial
assistance; California Community Redevelopment Law required 15
percent of the units must be affordable to low and moderate income
persons or households; development of a Housing Affordable
Program; removal of the proposed access point to the Carfax Drive
cul de sac; full access of the emergency gate would be provided
during the Newport Avenue realignment; emergency gate design; and
the importance of full access of the emergency gate during the
Newport Avenue realignment to minimize construction impacts.

with the Tustin Unified School District to provide an access for
the children walking to Currie School; project availability to

Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, reported that
several Tustin Ranch residents approached Council concerning the
construction schedule for the proposed community park located on
Pioneer Way. She stated that the nine -acre park was designated as
a passive/nature-type facility due to the 100 -year old redwood and
cedar tree groves on the site. She said two community parks were
planned for the East Tustin area; stated the estimated cost for
the nine -acre park development was approximately $1,300,000.00;
noted current Park Development Fund commitments; and estimated the
future Park Development Fund balance.
Councilmember Thomas noted available construction options included
phasing the park over a period of time or building the entire park
at one time; alternative City funding sources could be utilized to
construct the park; and he reminded the Council there were no
parks in that area of Tustin Ranch.
Mayor Pro Tem Potts suggested proceeding with the design plans and
including the Parks and Recreation Commission in the design
process; and he encouraged the public to provide input to the
Parks and Recreation Commission.
Councilmember Worley stated her support of initiating the planning
process for the park.

be for Council to authorize staff to solicit proposals for

solicit proposals for design plans for the nine -acre park.

24. ORDINANCE CHANGING THE DATE OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO
THE DATE OF THE STATEWIDE DIRECT PRIMARY ELECTION (Agenda Order)
Mayor Saltarelli moved this item out of agenda order to
accommodate speakers in the audience.
Councilmember Thomas stated he supported the proposed ordinance
because consolidating the General Municipal Election with the
State primary would save the City approximately $10,000.00; voter
turnout would increase for a March election; and it would
eliminate holding two elections two weeks apart.
The following members of the audience spoke in opposition to
changing the General Municipal Election to the date of the
statewide direct primary election:
Nancy Prescott, 230 South "A" Street, Tustin
Lou Bone, 14312 Heatherfield, Tustin
Alex Carrassi, 17561 Arbolada Way, Tustin
The following member of the audience requested additional
information regarding election date options and costs:
Berklee Maughan, Tustin
Councilmember Thomas said that the majority of residents did not
oppose changing the municipal election to March otherwise more
than four people would have responded to this issue; stated it was
Council's decision to change the election date; reiterated the
election cost savings to the City for a March election; stated
holding elections in March and April would create voter confusion;
-• noted the low voter turnout for municipal elections; believed
discussing election date change was appropriate during a non -
election year; Tustin was one of the few remaining cities in
Orange County that held April elections; suggested changing the
election date to March on a trial basis; and he noted a recent
resident survey that revealed a June election was preferred.
Mayor Pro Tem Potts was concerned that additional information and
study was needed before Council made a decision. He noted it
would be more expensive for Council candidates to run for office
in a consolidated election; it was necessary to notify all voters
of an election date change; April elections did not favor re-
election of incumbents; incumbents raised more money than non -
incumbents during campaigns; and he was concerned with changing
the election date on a trial basis.
Councilmember Worley requested staff submit an analysis of costs,
advantages, and disadvantages of holding March and April
elections.
Mayor Saltarelli stated he preferred a November election date;
April election dates interfered with Easter vacation; and noted
the low voter turnout for April elections.
Councilmember Doyle stated he opposed moving the election date and
supported keeping the General Municipal Election in April.
Council concurred to direct staff to prepare an analysis report on
election date options and costs and submit to Council in 30 days.
18. OLD TOWN RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES 450-50
Rita Westfield, Assistant Director of Community Development,
reported the Residential Design Guidelines were created to develop
the design criteria for the City's Cultural Resource District and
developed as an illustrated guide to assist staff, property
owners, architects, and contractors in making design decisions to
enhance the Cultural Resources District character. She said the
proposed design guidelines were intended to be voluntary and used
to prepare plans for residential rehabilitation, additions,
landscaping, and outside lighting. She stated the Planning

owners from reduction in assessments from application of surplus

construction funds. He explained that because of the mix of
variable and fixed rate bonds in the same issue and differences in
the documents between the 1986 and 1988 issue, staff recommended
the selection of Bartle Wells Associates as Financial Advisors to
reduce research time needed to address potential issues and
maintain the refunding schedule for a successful closing in
February 1995.
It was moved by Potts, seconded by Worley, to direct staff to
proceed with the proposed Assessment Districts 85-1 and 86-2 bond
refundings per the recommendations detailed in subject report by
Bartle Wells Associates and authorize the City Manager to
negotiate an agreement appointing Bartle Wells Associates as
Financial. Advisor.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding Conventional
Assessment Bond Refunding; Tustin was the first General Law city
to combine variable and fixed rate bond financing; variable rate
as it applied to Assessment Districts 85-1 and 86-2; legal
requirements regarding notifying residents of the assessment rate
change; legislation affecting future bond refunding options; and
