Council Minutes

The proposed land use will accomodate low
medium density (6 d.u. per acre), medium
density (8 d.u. per acre), medium high den-
sity-(12-15 d.u. per acre), and General
Commercial development pursuant to Planned
Community District Regulations.
Mr. Fleagle described the location of the property,
'lying ~n an area determined by LAFCO and agreed
upon by the Irvine Company and City of Irvine pro-
ponents to be within the sphere of influence of
Tustin. The following areas have been designated
by densities:
#'s 1, 2, and 3 6 dwelling units/acre, comparable
to Tustin Meadows
#6 12 dwelling units/acre
#5 15 dwelling units/acre
#4 24 acres, unclassified until
feasible for neighborhood
shopping center
#7 8 acres designated for neigh-
borhood shopping center
Under the proposal before the Council, area #6
would be developed firstr followed by area #1 and
then area #5, with the remaining area to be un-
developed for an undetermined period. The Tustin
Elementary School District has advised the Council
that area #6 students could be accommodated upon
construction of the new elementary school at
Sycamore and Red Hill.
The Planning Commission on October 11, 1971,
unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1240 recom-
mending Council approval of PZ 71-126 subject
to conditions.
Mayor Coco acknowledged receipt of a letter just
prior to the meeting from Mr. and Mrs. Mike Harris
of 1711 Greenmeadow, Tustin, opposing Annexation
No. 71-A pending satisfactory resolution of ques-
tions concerning density, schools, circulation,
civic improvements, parks, and ecological con-
siderations. Mayor Coco stated that answers to
some of these questions are available at CitpHall.
The Mayor opened the public portion of the hearing
at 7:45 p.m.
Mr. Don Saltarelli, 14702 Danberry Circle, Tustin,
stated that after review of information from City
Hall, conversation with Mr. Taylor of the Irvine
Company, and study of additional data, he was dis-
appointed about the irvine Annexation and "what's
happened to Tustin in the last eight to ten years".
He cited figures showing that of the total number
of dwelling units in the City, 38.8% are single
family homes, 56.4% multi-family homes, and 4.8%
mobile homes. Tustin's density is the fourth
'highest in Orange County.
Council Minutes
11/1/71 Page 3
Mr. Saltarelli asked again what is good about
this annexation-for the City of Tustin, and
recommended that the Council seek means to halt
"the self-destructive run of high density resi-
dential annexations in Tustin". He felt that if
the City can't have its say on what is built in
this annexation--or stop it--it should be left
to the County to authorize the project. Approval
of this annexation would be contrary to the will
'of the people.
Mr. Arthur Charlton, 460 West Second Street,
Tustin, representing the Tustin Center Home-
owners Group, read a letter from the Group,
addressed to the Council and dated NOvember 1,
citing reasons for opposing the annexation.
This letter is on file in the City Clerk's office.
Mr. Gordon Cutler, Industrial Representative,
Santa Fe Railroad, 121 East 6th Street, Los
Angeles, stated that this land should not be
developed as proposed by the Irvine Company.
He said that if the City of Tustin is to have a
balanced economy it would be wise to consider the
last available supply of potential industrial
land within its boundaries or adjacent to them,
especially that land which has access to rail.
This area has attributes natural for industrial
park development: the freeway, railroad main
and branch lines on either side, and a drainage
channel on the fourth side to act as a buffer.
It would be detrimental to the City to have a
housing development in parcels 1 and 6, which are
adjacent to the railroad Venta Spur, which serves
two packing houses which are in full operation at
this time and will be operating for at least ten
years with a possibility of renewal for another
ten years. The people adjacent to the Spur would
be subjected to the same type of problem of rail-
road operation as the Tustin Meadows residents
have faced.
Mr. Cutler recommended that the property not be
developed according to the Irvine plan, especially
with the overflight area of the Marine Corps Air
Station (Helicopter) and the 3,000 foot corridor,
and that the 1End be considered for an industrial
preserve for the City of Tustin; Santa Fe would
be willing to cooperate in its design. An ind-
ustrial park, properly designed, could be com-
patible with Tustin Meadows.
In response to Councilman Oster, Mr. Cutler stated
that studies being conducted by the State Highway
Department regarding sound buffering near freeways
show that landscaping provides little sound attenu-
ation, and that "berm systems" seem to be the best.
Under discussion is a project to canvass the States
to determine what has been found to be the best
sound attenuator by governmental bodies and scien-
tific institutions.
ReplyiAg to Councilman L. Miller, Mr. Cutler said
that industrial use of the land might possibly
magnify the Tustin Meadows problem, but the use
as proposed would compound the problem manyfold.
Council Minutes
11/1/71 Page 4
Mr. David King, 17671 Westbury Lane, Tustin,
stated that he saw no reason for the City to
continue to expend with this type of development,
agreeing with an earlier speaker that the com-
munity has become primarily one of high density
multi-family apartments.
Mr. Jim Taylor, Director of General Planning
Administration for the irvine Company, 550 Newport
Center Drive, Newport Beach, stated that the dev-
elopment known as Walnut Village West is an ex-
tension of the Irvine Company's philosophy to
provide a variety of dwelling types in a variety
of price ranges. On ultimate completion, the
proposed community will comprise 53% single
family homes, 9% single family detached homes
at eight dwelling units per acre, and 20% town-
houses; there will be no multi-family develop-
ments ~n the community, or Federally-subsidized
housing.
Mr. Taylor brought up the following points:
1. Viability. Information has been provided
from the Irvine Company related to sales
prices of these homes; and reports have been
submitted to the Council by City staff rela-
tive to the viability of this community.
This is a question the City Council must
answer to its own satisfaction.
2. Design Problems.
a. MCAS (H). The Irvine Company and the
military have entered into an agreement
for the 3,000 foot corridor, which, in
essence, states that the Irvine Company
will not develop this land in any fashion
until the military agrees with the type
of development or there is no longer an
operation at the Air Station that pre-
cludes such development from occurring.
The City and its citizens are thereby
guaranteed protection from any develop-
ment taking place which is in conflict
with the aircraft operation that now
exists.
b. Railroads. The irvine Company is aware
of the type of problems experienced in
the Tustin Meadows area. There are op-
portunities to insure that the Company
does solve these problems, in the form
of submittal of a neighborhood plan to
the City; the Council and Planning Com-
mission will require the developer to
submit a detailed design plan prior to
the approval of any tentative tract maps,
which show solutions to such problems as
sound attenuation of railroads, arterials,
parks, landscaping, schools, etc.
Mr. Taylor showed two types of maps (of Tustin
Village East, a comparable development) illus-
trating the level of detail which will be in-
cluded in the neighborhood plan.
Council Minutes
11/1/71 Page 5
3. Schools. The Tustin Elementary School
District has not indicated to the Irvine
Company any difficulties with the school
facilities proposed for devel-?ment. There
are three schools proposed and the District
has approved this as being sufficient.
Mr. TaylOr requested that the Council take action
at the earliest possible time on the prezonlng,
based on the following factors: a sphere of in-
fluence map approved by the Local Agency Formation
Commission which includes this property; densities
in line with the Irvine General Plan~ which was
not opposed by the City of Tustin prior to its
submittal to the County of Orange in 1970; posi-
tive staff reports by the City of Tustin, sub-
mitted to the City Council and Planning Commission;
due consideration by the Planning Commission re-
sulting in a unanimous vote in favor of the pre-
zoning.
Responding to questions by Councilmen, Mr. Taylor
stated that area ~1 will comprise 6 d.u./acre
single-family detached; this will be developed as
a unit. Area #6, at 12 d.u./acre,.a townhouse
"greenbelt" community, will be developed in two
or three phases over three or four years, starting
at Walnut and going toward the freeway.
Mr. Taylor briefly discussed the importance of
establishing the location of commercial within
area #7, favoring a shift to the east side of
Jamboree Road, rather than the ~est side as
recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Tom Woodruff, 14552 Emerywood, Tustin, favored
the annexationr but felt that this plan ~nvolves
a wholesale change in density concepts contained
in the Tustin Area General Plant which provides for
low-medium densities of up to 2½ d.u./acre; medium
densities of up to 4 d.u./acre; and medium-high
densities of up to 6½ d.u./acre. Walnut Village
West calls for low-medium density of 6 d.u./acre,
medium at 8 d.u./acre, and medium-high at up to
15 d.u./acre. Additionally, Mr. Woodruff stated
that 2½ acres of park land per 1,000 population
would be inadequate. He recommended considera-
tion of this development's impact on the entire
Tustin area prior to approval.
Mr. Kenn Watts, 1641 Greenmeadow, Tustin, stated
that he conducted a survey on October 31 among
approximately 90% of residents on his block rela-
tive to attitudes toward the proposed project;
the results indicated that 78% were not in favor
of the project as it now stands, for various
reasons. Specifically, 18 persons opposed it,
one person favored it, and two had no opinion.
Mr. Fred Anderson 1892 Brookshire, Tustin, raised
questions concerning the absence of commercial
zoning in the original plan, the drainage of
sales tax dollars from Walnut Village West to a
proposed shopping center on Myford outsfde City
limits; the location of single-family homes ad-
jacent to the freeway, rather than commercial.
Council Minutes
11/1/71 Page 6
Mr. Anderson stated that any chance of annexing
the Marine Corps Air Station (Helicopter) is
purely speculative, and a "phony issue" in this
annexation. The most important consideration,
he said, is the will of the people.
In response to questions, Mr. Rourke stated
that the Code requires that Lhe Council within
60 days of the date of the protest hearing,
which would be a date this week, approve or
disapprove the annexation. The annexation pro-
ceedings can be terminated now and recommenced;
if this is done, a protest hearing would have to
be set for November 15, 1971, which could be
continued to a later meeting if desired.
Mrs. Louise Campbell, 1772 Greenmeadow, Tustin,
inquired about school construction.
Mayor-Coco stated that Mr. Archie Currie of the
Tustin Elementary School District has indicated
that there will be no double or triple sessions,
and that pupils from Walnut Village West would
be accomodated by the new Red Hill Sycamore
School freeing classroom space at other schools.
Councilman L. Miller pointed out that the bound-
aries of the City of Tustin and of the Tustin
Elementary S~hool District are not identical and
that the area would be in the School District
whether or not it is annexed to the City. Also,
staff reports have indicated that the cost of
City services per capita would be reduced, and
this reduction might offset for the taxpayer
any increased costs resulting in a higher tax
rate on the part of the School District.
Replying to Councilman Oster, Mr. Rour~e stated
that continuance of this hearing would be in
order inthe event the Council adopts the pro-
cedure previously discussed terminating and
recommencing annexation proceedings.
Moved by Oster, seconded by Marsters that the
public hearing be held open until later in this
mee~ for determination of the time and place
to which it will be continued. Carried unani-
mously.
Moved by Oster, seconded by Marsters that Ordinance
No. 527 (Ordinance for Adoption #4) be taken out
of order and placed as the next agenda item.
Mr. Rourke explained that if a minute order is
adopted terminating proceedings~ Ordinance No.
527 would not be acted upon at all.
Councilman Oster briefly summarized the history
of the annexation, and then stated that the pro-
posed density, rather than the annexation itself,
is opposed. He favored development within the
City with a lesser density (no greater than that
of Tustin Meadows), and suggested that in a two-
week period~ the Irvine Company could re.evaluate
their position. With proper railroad buffering
and lesser density, he would have no objection
to resubmittal of the same prezone application
and annexation.
Council Minutes
11/1/71 Page 7
Moved by Oster, seconded by Marsters that the
proceedings now in progress for the annexation of
said territory to the City of Tustin known as
"U. S. Marine Corps - Irvine Annexation No. 71-A"
to the City of Tustin, be disapproved, and ter-
minated, and that Resolution No. 71-71, DECLARING
THAT PROCEEDINGS HAVE BEEN INITIATED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN TO ANNEX TO SAID
CITY CERTAIN UNINHABITED TERRITORY DESCRIBED
HEREIN, AND DESIGNATED AS "U. S. MARINE CORPS -
IRVINE ANNEXATION NO. 71-A" TO THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION,
have first reading by title only. Carried unani-
mously.
Councilman Marsters agreed with Councilman Oster's
remarks regarding density, stating that the annexa-
tion itself is logical; and expressed concern that
there is insufficient commercial area. He would
find acceptable in some areas aslightly greater
density than that of Tustin Meadows.
Councilman C. Miller commended the interest and
courtesy of the public during hearing of such
a crucial issue. He acknowledged that the character
of the annexation has been of greater importance
to citizens present than has its economic impact.
He stated that the issue is more complex than a
matter of density, and requested that an economic
analysis be prepared of a lower density develop-
ment in this area.
Mr. Gill suggested that in the 6 d.u./acre plan,
~'a gross figure; the plan does provide that
no lot would be less than 5,000 square feet, which
would approximately match Tustin Meadows' density.
Councilman C. Miller stated that this would be a
satisfactory basis for study.
Above motion to terminate proceedings on Annexa-
tion No. 71-A, and to read Resolution No. 71-71 by
title only, carried unanimously.
Title of Resolution No. 71-71 read by the clerk.
Moved by Oster, seconded by L. Miller that Resolu-
tion No. 71-71 be passed and adopted. Carried.
Ayes: Coco, C. Miller, Marsters, L. Mil'I~[~ 5ster.
Noes: none. Absent: none.
Moved by C. Miller, seconded by L. Miller that
the public hearing on PZ 71-126 be continued to
November 15, 1971, provided that should the Irvine
Company desire to modify the plan in any way,
they may do so under the same prezone ~pplication.
Mr. Dan Blankenship, Assistant City Administrator,
arrived at this point and was called upon to re-
port on the proceedings which had just taken place
at the meeting of the Tustin Elementary School
Board relative to schools within the Irvlne An-
nexation area. The School District Staff is to
work with the City on plans for schools in the
area.

Motion to continue public hearing on PZ 71-126
to November 15, 1971, carried unanimously.
Mayor Coco disagreed with a previous contention

might develop this, and with comments concern!ng
the "phony issue" of the Marine Corps Air Station
(Helicopter). He comptimented audience on their
mature concern.

Mayor Coco opened the public portion of the hearing
at 9:46 p.m.
Mrs. Jean Sawyer, 17762 Theodora Drive, Tustin,
inquired about lot size and the feasibility of
increasing it.
Mr. Fleagle replied that substandard lots had
originally been proposed by the developer; lot

which is standard R-1 lot size.
Mr. John Crosswhite, representing the developer,

6. CHAPTER 27 PROJECT 71-2 CONSTRUCTION
OF ALLEY IMPROVEMENTS FROM NEWPORT AVENUE
TO ORANGE AVENUE BETWEEN LAGUNA ROAD AND
BONITA STREET.
Mayor Coco, at 10:13 p.m., announced that the
hour had arrived for the hearing of objections
or protests to the construction of certain alley
improvements pursuant to Chapter 27 of the "Im-
provement Act of 1911" in the locations set forth
in City Council motion of July 7, 1971, and asked
the clerk if due notice of the hearing had been
given.
The clerk stated that Notices to Construct"
Missing Improvements, said Notices setting forth
a time and place for hearing thereon
were duly and regularly posted and delivered,
all as prescribed by law, and that affidavits
showing such compliance are on file in the City
Clerk's office.
The Mayor asked whether any written protests or~
objections had been received.
The clerk stated that there had been no protests
received.
The Mayor invited comments for or against the
project.
Mr. Frank Greinke, 1011 Laguna Road,'Tustin,
opposed paving the alley because of safety aspects,
in relation to probable use by students of Tustin
High School. The unpaved condition of the alley
has been a deterrant to speeding. He also cited
a parking problem which would be generated, and
the tax burden on the property owners.
Replying to Mayor Coco, Mr. Gill stated that
speed bumps in alleys and streets in the City
have not been a satisfactory solution to speeding
problems. Signs could be placed in the alley,
however.
Mr. F. W. Collar, 170 Pacific Street, Tustin,
owner of property abutting the alley, stated that
it would be difficult for him to pay these taxes,
and tha~ he and several of his neighbors don't
even use the alley. He agreed with Mr. Greinke's
comments concerning safety.
There being no further comments or ob~ectionsw
Mayor Coco closed the public portion 6f the
hearing at 10:21 p.m.
In response to Councilmen's questions, Mr. Gill
stated that the unpaved portion of the alley has
been a problem for police and fire units.
Councilman Marsters stated that he would like to
see this accomplished for the benefit of the
community.
Moved by Marsters, seconded by C. Miller that
all protests are overruled and denied.
Mr. Rourke stated that the first half of the
assessments would be in tax bills in December,
1972, with the other half due in April, 1973.
Mr. Gill stated that he did not think extended
payments were possible.
Councilman C. Miller stated that he would like
more information on this matterr and withdrew
his second to the above motion.
Moved by Marsters, seconded by Coco that all
protests are overruled and denied. Motion
failed by a 3-2 vote. Ayes: Coco, Marsters.
Noes: C. Miller, L. Miller, Oster. Absent:
none.
Moved by C. Miller, seconded by Oster that this
matter be continued to the next regular Council
meeting. Carried unanimously.
Councilman Oster asked that the staff explore
the possibilities of deferred payments by
property owners.
7. NISSON - RED HILL MITCHELL ANNEXATION NO. 77
Annexation consists of approximately 7.8
acres located on the east side of Red Hill
Avenue between Nisson Road and Mitchell
Avenue.
Mr. Fleagle described the history and location of
this annexation proposal. He explained that one
of the property owners, Humble Oil Company, wanted
to come into the City, but did not wish to assume
City indebtedness and liabilities. The result is
that while the city has consent of more than 50%
of A. V. to authorize the annexationr it is
lacking the consent of 2/3 of A. V. to assume
bonded indebtedness. He suggested that the Council
introduce Ordinance No. 529, deleting the fourth
paragraph there~n, and direct correspondence to
Humble Oil Company requesting their consent to
bonded indebtedness, and then re-introduce the
Ordinance.
Mayor Coco opened the public portion of the hearing
at 10:31 p.m. There being no comments or objections,
he closed the public portion of the hearing.
