certain lot consolidation bonuses and a
consolidated parking/access bonus pursuant to the
First Street Specific Plan for the properties
located at 135 South Prospect Avenue and 240 East
First Street as the following findings cannot be
made pursuant to City Code Section 9272:
A. Setbacks and Site Planning - The project
overall proposes awkward site planning and
requires deviations in landscaping, parking
area design and circulation that are not
justified by the visual improvements proposed
and, therefore, does not meet the Development
Guidelines and criteria as adopted by the

First Street Specific Plan.
B. Landscaping, Parking Area Design and Traffic
Circulation - The project requires approval of
development bonuses and the implementation of
these would only compound problems associated
with deficiencies in the amount of parking
provided (28 spaces overall) compared with
that required (30 spaces overall).
C. Physical Relationship of Proposed Structures
to Existing Structures in the Neighborhood -
The existing structures at the property
located at 135 South Prospect Avenue are
located in such close proximity that the site
is constricted and parking and on-site
circulation problems would result.
D. Development Guidelines and Criteria as Adopted
by the City Council - The project would not
result in furthering many of the goals and
objectives of the First Street Specific Plan.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Tustin at a regular meeting held on the 3rd day
of September, 1991.
