REQUEST:
AUTHORIZATION TO ESTABLISH AN ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE

7,752 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING AT 300 EL CAMINO REAL.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 3873 approving Conditional Use
Permit 03-009 to establish an antique and classic automobile gallery, including
accessory vehicle and memorabilia sales, completely within an existing 7,752 square
foot building at 300 El Camino Real.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting authorization to establish an antique and classic automobile
gallery, including accessory vehicle and memorabilia sales, inside an existing 7,752
square foot building in Old Town Tustin. The site is located at the southwest corner of El
Camino Real and Third Street (Attachment 1 - Location Map) in the Central Commercial
and Parking Overlay (C-2P) District, the Cultural Resources Overlay District, and the Town
Center Redevelopment Project Area. The site is bounded by professional offices to the
north, and commercial businesses to the east, south, and west.

Section 9233a(1) of the Tustin City Code permits galleries within the C-2 District, and
Section 9233c(3) permits used car sales within the district with approval of a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP). As proposed (Attachment 2 - Business Description and Submitted
Plans), the new business will consist primarily of displaying antique and classic vehicles
and related art and memorabilia in a gallery setting, but would also include the ability to
sell vehicles on a case-by-case basis. The proposed use will be conducted entirely within
an existing building previously used as an art gallery and does not include any proposed
exterior building or site improvements besides signage and minor tenant improvements.
No exterior displays or operations are proposed.
The property owner previously obtained a demolition permit on December 19, 2002, in
anticipation of proceeding with the CUP process. The property owner submitted a signed
letter acknowledging the requirement to obtain a CUP prior to operating the business.
Staff also informed the property owner that while a demolition permit could be issued,
additional building improvements may need to be completed as a result of storing vehicles
inside the building, as would be identified while processing the CUP application.
At the Planning Commission's request, a site inspection was conducted due to reports that
vehicles were being stored inside the building. On April 3, 2003, the Building Official and a
representative from the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) conducted an on-site
inspection, found vehicles inside the building, and told the property owner to remove the
vehicles until all necessary approvals were obtained, including an approved CUP. As a
result, a formal CUP application was submitted on April 8, 2003, and the cars were
removed from the building on April 15, 2003.
A public hearing notice identifying the time, date, and location of the public hearing for the
proposal was published in the Tustin News, property owners within 300 feet of the site
were notified of the hearing by mail, and a notice was posted on the site and at City Hall
on May 1, 2003. The applicant was informed of the availability of the agenda and staff
report for this item.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed "Yesterday Antique and Classic Car Gallery" will occupy a vacant, 7,752
square foot building previously used as an art gallery. The applicant has submitted a
description of the proposed operations as part of the application submittal (Attachment 2 -
Business Description and Submitted Plans). In general, the establishment will display
antique and classic vehicles, art, and memorabilia from the property owner's private
collection. Examples of the types of vehicles to be displayed will include Ferrari, Rolls
Royce, Packard, and Alfa Romeo, and all vehicles will be at least twenty-five (25) years
old. While the main use will be an antique and classic vehicle gallery, the property owner
is also requesting the ability to sell vehicles and associated memorabilia, on a case-by-
case basis for the rare buyer.
The existing building is immediately adjacent to the sidewalk at the southwest corner of El
Camino Real and Third Street and has large floor-to-ceiling windows along the perimeter

walls adjacent to the right-of-way. Staff believes the proposed use, building location, and
existing windows would help encourage the high quality, pedestrian-oriented building
frontages as identified in Policy 10.3 of the General Plan Land Use Element. To ensure
continued implementation of this policy, it is necessary to ensure the applicant will
maintain a showroom quality desirable of a gallery in Old Town Tustin. The following
conditions of approval address this policy:
Condition 4.1 of Resolution No. 3873 would state that only vehicles that qualify as
vehicles of "historic interest" or "special interest vehicles" may be displayed or
sold on the property as an accessory use to the antique automobile gallery use
and display and sales would only occur or be conducted within the building. The
applicant has indicated that "antique" and "classic" cars will be displayed in the
gallery; however, the California Vehicle Code (CVC) does not define antique or
classic cars. Staff proposes that any vehicle to be displayed or sold on-site be
consistent with Sections 5004 and 5051 of the CVC, which defines "special interest
vehicles" and vehicles of "historic interest" as follows:
(1)
If the vehicle is at least twenty-five (25) years old and is of historic interest.
A vehicle is of "historic interest" if it is collected, restored, maintained, and
operated by a collector or hobbyist principally for purposes of exhibition
and historic vehicle club activities; or,
(2)
If the vehicle is a "special interest vehicle" of any age which is unaltered
from the manufacturer's original specifications and, because of its
significance, such as an out-of-production vehicle or a model of fewer than
2,000 sold in California in any model year, is being collected, preserved,
restored, or maintained by a hobbyist as a leisure pursuit.
Condition 4.2 would prohibit any outdoor vehicle display or sales at any time.
Condition 4.3 would prohibit vehicle repair and service on the premises. While auto
repair shops are conditionally permitted in the C-2 zoning district, neither the
building nor site is designed to accommodate that type of use.
Condition 4.4 would ensure any future modification to the proposed business
operations are reviewed by the Community Development Director.
Condition 4.5 would authorize the Community Development Department to conduct
annual inspections of the operations to ensure compliance with CUP 03-009 due to
the nature of the use, including the potential fluctuations in quantities and types of
vehicles to be displayed inside the building.
Condition 4.6 would require regular business hours to ensure the gallery is open
and accessible to the general public. The applicant has proposed hours of
operation from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily.
Planning Commission Report
CUP 03-009
May 12, 2003
Page 4
Condition 4.7 would require the window blinds in the gallery to be open during
normal business hours to ensure visibility into the building.
To accommodate the use, minor tenant improvements have been completed and
additional improvements will need to be made to the interior of the building. The issued
demolition permit authorized the removal of a few partitioning walls to create a larger
showroom floor area and the existing doorway along the south side of the building is large
enough to pass vehicles through and does not require any modifications. Additional
improvements that are required are related to safety precautions associated with vehicle
storage inside the building. Condition 2.8 would require the applicant to install a
mechanical ventilation system as specified in Section 1202.2.2 of the 2001 California
Building Code (CBC), and Condition 2.1 and 2.2 would allow the applicant to create a
small kitchen area near the lunchroom as shown on the floor plan. In addition, the
applicant will need to comply with the operational measures listed in Condition 5.1 to meet
Orange County Fire Authority requirements.
The only proposed exterior improvement is the addition of signage on an existing
freestanding, twelve (12) foot high arched entry element located in front of the south
building entrance. The arch structure was approved by Design Review 95-011 to help
enhance the exterior area of the building, including other small concrete sculptures and
arched entry elements designed as building accents only. As a result, the proposed
signage will need to be located on the building rather than the arch structure as identified
in Condition 4.8.
To ensure safe and accessible pedestrian access to the site, Conditions 3.1 and 3.2 would
require the applicant to reconstruct the damaged sidewalk along Third Street and
reconfigure the driveway apron on El Camino Real to provide for disabled access.
Parking Requirements
Based on parking requirements for a retail use of one (1) space for every 200 square feet
of gross floor area, the 7,753 square foot building would be required to provide thirty-nine
(39) parking spaces. However, in 1995, the Planning Commission approved Variance 95-
001 and Design Review 95-011 that authorized a reduction in the required parking to
twenty-seven (27) on-site spaces, and minor interior and exterior building improvements,
for the previous gallery. Since the proposed use is also a gallery with accessory sales, the
parking requirement would not change. Condition 4.9 is included to ensure compliance
with the conditions of approval of the previously approved parking variance.
ANALYSIS
In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission
must determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety,
morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing in or working in the
neighborhood, or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements in
the vicinity, or to the welfare of the City.
Planning Commission Report
CUP 03-009

A decision to approve this request is supported by the following findings:
1)
The proposed use would be located inside an existing building previously used
as a gallery and, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to surrounding
properties in that the business would be conducted completely within the
building, there will be no automotive repair services conducted on-site, and
only vehicles defined by Condition 4.1 which are either: 1) at least twenty-five
(25) years old and a vehicle of "historic interest", or 2) a "special interest
vehicle" may be permitted to be displayed and sold on the premises;
2)
The proposed use, as conditioned, would encourage the high quality
pedestrian-oriented building frontages identified as a policy goal in the General
Plan Land Use Element by displaying vehicles identified in Condition 4.1 within
proximity of the large floor-to-ceiling windows next to the right-of-way,
maintaining daily business hours when the gallery is open to the public, and
keeping the blinds open for display during regularly maintained business hours;
3)
As conditioned, adequate on-site and off-site pedestrian facilities will be
provided in that the existing sidewalk along the north property line will be
required to be reconstructed and the driveway apron on El Camino Real will be
reconstructed to meet current Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements; and,
4) The proposed use, as conditioned, would not result in any anticipated parking
impacts since the proposed gallery use is substantially the same as the
former gallery use, and the previous use was granted Variance 95-001
authorizing a parking reduction. Since the previous and proposed uses are
substantially the same, and Condition 4.9 is included to ensure compliance
with the conditions of approval for Variance 95-001, staff does not anticipate
any parking problems.

RE: 300 E1 Camino Real, Tustin, CA/C.U.P.
Dear C iV/Staft,
The applicant, Yesterday Antique and Classic Car Gallery, will operate at the above referenced
location. The primary focus of the gallery will be antique and classic artifacts and art relating to
classic cars and antique classic ears. I, Daniel R. Barrera, will display my private classic and
antique ear collection, that includes Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Packard, Alfa Romeo, and other
antique and classic cars. My private collection will be displayed within the gallery. This classic
and antique cars will be for sale for the rare buyers. The gallery will not sell any automobiles that
do not fall within the classic thirty year criteria and the antique, older than 30 years year, criteria.
The hours of operations will be 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week as business supports
these hours of opperation.
The purposed project needs no exterior or interior improvements. The existing building is
suitable for its intended purpose and will not be changed for this project. The gallery's classsic
and antique automobiles will have the batteries disconnected and the gasoline will be removed
fi.om the tanks; so as to satis~r all uniform fire codes and local requirements. The project is a
perfect fit for the location and building shape and type without any changes to the structure.
This property is one of very very 'few on E1 Camino Real and Old Town that complies with
parking and setbacks. This use will be an asset to the community, and it will be a visual
experience to brouse the gallery. This project also reflects the current mix of retailers in the Old
Town environment. Both the uniqueness of the antique artifacts and the vintage automobiles will
be and are appropriate for the overall Old Town theme.
We look forward to operating the "Yesterday Antique and Classic Car Gallery" in the City of
Tustin, and we thank you for the support of our C.U.P. application.
Sincerely,
Daniel R. Barrera, Owner

RESOLUTION NO. 3873
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 03-
009, AUTHORIZING AN ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE GALLERY,
INCLUDING ACCESSORY VEHICLE AND MEMORABILIA
SALES, TO BE ESTABLISHED COMPLETELY WITHIN AN
EXISTING 7,752 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING AT 300 EL CAMINO
REAL.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
That a proper application, Conditional Use Permit 03-009, was filed by
Greg Bennett, on behalf of Yesterday Antique and Classic Car Gallery, to
establish an antique automobile gallery, including accessory vehicle and
memorabilia sales, completely inside an existing 7,752 square foot
building at 300 El Camino Real, or more specifically identified as
Assessor's Parcel Number 401-573-01.
B,
That the Old Town Commercial land use designation of the General Plan
provides for a variety of retail and commercial services. 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 the proposed use is allowed within the Central Commercial (C-2)
zoning district with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Do
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)
The proposed use as an antique automobile gallery would be located
in an existing building previously used as a gallery and, as
conditioned, would not be detrimental to surrounding properties in
that the business would be conducted completely and solely within
the building. An accessory use of the display and sale of historic or
special interest vehicles is also permitted on the property so long as
such display and sale is also conducted solely within the building.
The only vehicles that may be displayed or sold on the property will
be vehicles that are either: 1) at least twenty-five (25) years old and
are vehicles of "historic interest", or 2) "special interest vehicles."
Except as expressly permitted under Condition 4.1, no other vehicles
Resolution No. 3873
Page 2
may be displayed or sold on the property. Automotive repair
services are expressly prohibited and shall not be conducted on-site.
2)
The proposed use, as conditioned, would encourage the high quality
pedestrian-oriented building frontages identified as a policy goal in
the General Plan Land Use Element by displaying vehicles identified
in Condition 4.1 within proximity of the large floor-to-ceiling windows
next to the right-of-way, maintaining daily business hours when the
gallery is open to the public, and keeping the blinds open for display
during regularly maintained business hours;
3)
As conditioned, adequate on-site and off-site pedestrian facilities will
be provided in that the existing sidewalk along the north property line
will be required to be reconstructed and the driveway apron on El
Camino Real will be reconstructed to meet current Federal
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements; and,
4)
The proposed use, as conditioned, would not result in any
anticipated parking impacts since the former gallery use was
substantially the same as the proposed gallery use, and the
previous use was granted Variance 95-001 authorizing a parking
reduction. Since the previous and proposed uses are substantially
the same, and Condition 4.9 is included to ensure compliance with
the conditions of approval for Variance 95-001, staff does not
anticipate any parking problems.
E,
This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 of
Title 14, Chapter 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations
(Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act).
II.
The Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit 03-009, to

displayed or sold on the property are those vehicles that conform to one of
the following criteria:
1) A vehicle at least twenty-five (25) years old and of historic interest. A
vehicle is of "historic interest" if it is collected, restored, maintained,
and operated by a collector or hobbyist principally for purposes of
exhibition and historic vehicle club activities; or,
Resolution No. 3873
Exhibit A

2) A "special interest vehicle;" that is, a vehicle of any age which is
unaltered from the manufacturer's original specifications and, because
of its significance, such as an out-of-production vehicle or a model of
fewer than 2,000 sold in California in any model year, is being
collected, preserved, restored, or maintained by a hobbyist as a leisure
