RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4306 approving Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) 2015-03 to establish and operate a church use on the ground floor of an
existing commercial building located at 560 W. 1s' Street and authorize joint use
parking.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY:
The subject property is located within Subarea 1 of the First Street Specific Plan (FSSP)
which allows for Neighborhood Commercial uses. Churches are a conditionally
permitted use within Subarea 1. Pursuant to Section 9264a of the Tustin City Code
(TCC), joint use of parking areas for nonresidential uses with different peak hours of
operation is allowable upon approval of a conditional use permit. Section 9291 of the
TCC authorizes the Planning Commission to review and approve conditional use
permits.
BACKGROUND:
,Location
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of First Street
and Pacific Street. Surrounding properties along First Street are also located within
Subarea 1 of the FSSP. Retail and service commercial uses lie to the north of the
property across First Street as well as to the west across Pacific Street. Directly abutting
the property to the east is a two story apartment complex. A detached single family
dwelling on a lot zoned Multiple Family Residential (113) is located directly south of the
subject property.

Subject Property
Existing at the subject property is an 8,488 square foot two story commercial building
which was previously occupied by the Consolidated Reprographics tenant on the 4,871
square foot ground floor. Exterior stairwells provide access to the 3,817 square foot
second floor which is currently demised to accommodate four office tenants which share
a common restroom facility, The building is oriented towards the street corner of the
property with a parking lot provided along the interior property lines, Access to the
parking lot is provided from the one-way entry at First Street and an exit at Pacific
Street. There are 32 parking spaces provided on site for the building.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is the owner of the building at the subject property and proposes to operate
a church on the ground floor. There is not sufficient parking provided on-site to
accommodate all uses on the property; therefore, the applicant has also applied for joint
use parking at the property. The majority of the ground floor is proposed to be occupied
by the church use with the exception of a 949 square foot tenant space located at the main
entry along First Street. The church will have entry points along the side and rear of the
building with access to the parking lot. Congregation for the church will be located in the
center of the building within a 1,731 square foot assembly area. Offices and a restroom
facility associated with the church use are located toward the rear of the building.

Tenant improvements to the property would include interior partitions and required
separation for the assembly use area. Exiting and restroom facility improvements would
also be required. Exterior improvements consist of walkway installation and parking lot
restriping to meet accessibility requirements. The applicant has obtained building permits
to construct some of these improvements already, but would be required to submit
additional plans for the change of occupancy to an assembly use.
Joint Use Parking and Hours of Operation
Parking requirements within the FSSP are subject to the provisions of the TCC. The City's
Parking Ordinance requires one (1) space for each three (3) fixed seats; or if no fixed
seats are provided, one (1 ) space for every 35 sq. ft. of gross assembly area,
classrooms, meeting rooms, etc., based on the most intense simultaneous use for
assembly uses such as the church. The applicant is proposing fixed seating within the
assembly area which would not operate simultaneously with other church functions
such as the office administration component. There is not adequate parking available
on-site to meet the requirements of the TCC in order for all commercial and church uses
to function simultaneously. The 32 provided parking spaces would allow for a maximum
of 96 fixed seats within the assembly space and 94 are currently proposed.
A joint use parking study was prepared by a licensed traffic engineer, which concluded
that with restricted business hours, the number of parking spaces demanded is not
anticipated to exceed the parking supply at any time throughout the week (Attachment
PC Report
December 8, 2015
CUP 2015-03
Page 5
D). The 32 parking spaces would accommodate the parking demand generated by the
proposed uses. Hours of operation for the office and commercial uses on-site would be
restricted to 8:00 a.m. to 5:09 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Church operations are
proposed to function from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, 7:00 p.m. to
10:90 p.m. on Friday evenings, and 8:90 a.m. to 8:00 p.m, on Sundays. The office and
commercial use hours are consistent with other similar uses within the City and
surrounding area and the church use hours are also consistent with similar facilities.
The evening hours on weekday nights are not anticipated to create a nuisance as the
property is located within a commercial zoning district which has other uses open in the
evening hours. Proposed Condition 1.8 would allow further review of the CUP should a
problem arise related to parking, traffic or noise issues associated with the use.
FINDINGS:
In determining whether to approve the CUP to establish and operate a church use on the
ground floor of an existing commercial building located at 569 W. 1st Street and
authorize joint use parking, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the
proposed use will 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. A decision to approve this request may be supported
by the following findings:
1. Subarea 1 (Neighborhood Commercial) of the First Street Specific Plan allows
church uses upon approval of a CUP.
2. Section 9264a of the TCG allows joint use of parking areas for nonresidential
uses with different peak hours of operation upon approval of a conditional use
permit.
3. The joint use parking study was prepared by a licensed traffic engineer and
concluded that with restricted business hours, the number of parking spaces
demanded is not anticipated to exceed the parking supply at any time throughout
the week..
4. All activities would occur within the freestanding building and simultaneous use of
the building would be restricted.
5. The Community Development Director may review CUP 2015-03 annually or more
often if necessary to ensure compliance with the conditions of approval.

Dear Mr. Ortega:
LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) is pleased to submit this parking analysis for the proposed redesignation
of land uses at 560 West 0 Street in the City of Tustin.
The project site is located at 5£0 West I" Street in the City of Tustin. The parcel can be accessed
frolrl Pacific. Street fronl :l f til kaceess driveway or 1't Street from a right -in -only driveway. Parking
consists of 32 striped parkinta spacos-
An cxistili, church (Prai,e Chapel of "I IStin) propo cs to occupy most of the first floor of the
building. On the first floor. 949 square feet (sf) is a wpl hale office that is currently vacant, lin
additional 775 tif' of of ["ice space Olay be used by VIII office tenant or as an office for the church. The
proposed floor plan show, a maxirntlrn Of 96 fixed sorts within a 1,731 sf assembly area. Lease
restrictions limit the hours of operation to between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on Wednc,day nights
(when the church holds a Bible study), 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Friday nights, 8:00 a.m. and noon
on Sunday, and 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on. Sunday. Based on these bw,,iness hours, the church will
not operate at the same time as the office suites.
Three office tenants have been identified for suites on the ,econd fluor. 1 wo suites on the second
floor and two suites on the first floor do not have G1I1 1dcIltlfied tenant. Lease restrictions limit the
hours of operation for the seven office suites to between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through

64 parking spaces. This exceeds the existing parking supply of 32 parking spaces.
Reduction of Off -Street Parking Requirements
TMC Section 9264 provides a mechanisw for joint use, ui ]�tii kin17 spaces and a reduction in the
overall parking requirement. All ol' the park- iit,? spaces propost c1. to he designated for joint use are
located on the same parcel as the building pit 560 West V St,, -,,i. In this circumtitam:c. all parties lease
space from the. property owner of 560 1Ve,t 1"Street and their lease a_,recnlents stipulate their
htl,inc S, hours. Inasmuch as a single owner controls all of the parking space,, propo,ed for joint use,
no reciprocal access easement is necessary.
As mentioned earlier, the property owner uses lease restrictions to ensure that the bu,iuc,,s hours of
the church do not overlap with the business hours of the remaining suites. Figure 1 (attached)
Must rates the effect of the varied business hours on the maximum parking demand generated
throughout the week.
As Figure 1 shows, the maximum parking required at any given time is 32 parking spaces. The
parking supply of 32 marked parking spaces would not be exceeded.

Conclusion
The conditions at 560 West 1" Street meet the requirements of TMC Section 9264 for joint use of
parking spaces. All 32 parking spaces supplied in the parking lot are located on the same parcel as the
building, which will adequately serve the suites intended to use the parking spaces. Because all of the
parking spaces are controlled by the owner of 560 West I" Street, no reciprocal access easement is
necessary, The hours of operation are dictated in the lease agreements between the property owner
and each tenant. As a result of the restricted business hours, the number of parking spaces required is
not anticipated to exceed the parking supply at any time throughout the week.
When joint use of parking spaces is considered, the parking demand at 560 West 1" Street is not
expected to exceed the supply. The 32 parking spaces supplied would accommodate the parking
demand generated by the proposed uses.

Resolution No. 4306
RESOLUTION NO. 4306
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
2015-03 AUTHORIZING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND
OPERATION OF A CHURCH USE WITH JOINT USE PARKING
ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL
BUILDING LOCATED AT 560 W. 1ST STREET.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2015-03 was
filed by Dennis Montgomery requesting authorization to establish and
operate a church use with joint use parking on the ground floor of an
existing commercial building located at 550 W. 15t Street.
B. That the property is zoned First Street Specific Plan (FSSP) and located
within Subarea 1 (Neighborhood Commercial) and has a land use
designation by the General Plan of Planned Community Commercial/
Business which provides for a variety of retail, service commercial uses,
office, and institutional uses. The project is consistent with the Air Quality
Sub -element of the City of Tustin General Plan.
C. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2015-03
on December 8, 2015, by the Planning Commission.
D. 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 of such proposed use, 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. Subarea 1 (Neighborhood Commercial) of the FSSP allows church
uses upon approval of a CUP.
