HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE 91-03 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 91-121, certifying Negative Declaration for the project; and 2. By Minute Order, waive first reading and introduce Ordinance No. 1076 by title only. BACKGROUND On August 12, 1991, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2933 recommending approval to the City Council of Zone Change 91-03 to add private, indoor recreational uses such as batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios and martial arts studios to the list of conditionally permitted uses in the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community Regulations. The subject area is the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community (PC) , generally bounded by Tustin Ranch Road to the west, Myford Road to the east, I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) to the north and the AT&SF Railroad to the south. Zoning of this area was changed to Planned Community (Industrial) by Ordinance No. 611, approving Zone Change 73-6. Development criteria and uses for the Planned Community (Industrial) District were listed in the "Planned Community District Regulations", and included light industrial uses such as: research, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, warehousing, construction and services. These regulations also included support commercial uses such as printing, offices, restaurants, auditoriums and commercial sales. Ordinance No. 611 was amended in 1980 to expand the uses in a portion of the Irvine Industrial Complex to include the Neighborhood Commercial Section which includes uses such as retail sales and retail services including dance studios and fitness centers. A copy of the current district regulations are included as Attachment A of the attached Planning Commission report. 0 City Council Report Zone Change 91-03 October 7, 1991 Page 2 A public hearing notice identifying the time, date and location of the public hearing on this project was published in the Tustin News. In addition, hearing notices were posted at the Police Department. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65854, notice to individual property owners within 300 feet of the project is not required when the Zone Change does not affect the permitted uses of real property; therefore, property owners within 300 feet of the project were not notified of the item DISCUSSION On June 10, 1991 the Planning Commission considered a request for Use Determination 91-02 to determine that martial arts studios were outright permitted uses within the Irvine Industrial Complex. The Planning Commission determined that martial arts studios could be an allowed use in the District, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. At that meeting, the Planning Commission also provided direction to the staff to prepare a Zone Change for consideration to allow recreational uses such as martial arts studios in the district subject to a conditional use permit. Private indoor recreational uses, such as batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios and martial arts studios are appropriate uses in this district, as such uses require large, unobstructed spaces which are typical in this industrial district. These uses usually occur after business hours, thus lessening the possibility of added traffic congestion. The discretionary approval process would allow the Planning Commission to approve private indoor recreational uses, such as batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios and martial arts studios, based on evaluation of every application. All applications would be required to meet the development standards of the Planned Community District Regulations, the Tustin City Code, the Uniform Building Code and any other applicable standards. Mitigation measures may be incorporated into each projects approval which mitigate any potential significant effects with conditions of approval adopted to enforce any mitigation measures. Zone Change 91-03 would also amend the parking requirements for the Irvine Industrial Complex to require one parking space per three (3) persons allowed under the maximum occupancy of any building proposed for an indoor recreational use. This is similar to standards adopted for other assembly uses within the City of Tustin. City Council Report Zone Change 91-03 October 71 1991 Page 3 CONCLUSION Given the background of the project and the analysis conducted d that dthe by the Community Development o epre.creational usestmenti, it onclusuch as batting addition of private, ind cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios and martial arts studios are an appropriate addition to the list of conditionally permitted uses in the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned community District trict Regulations, and that the proposed parking regulations are sufficient to mitigate any adverse effectscreated theCity the additional uses. Therefore, it is recommended thaCouncil: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 91-121, certifying Negative Declaration for the project; and 2. By Minute Order, waive first reading and introduce Ordinance No. 1076 by title only. Becky Stone Christine A.

Zone Change 73-6 changed the land use designation for the property bounded by the Santa Ana Freeway, the old Myford Road (Tustin Ranch Road), the Santa Fe Railroad and Jamboree Road from Planned Community (Residential) to Planned Community (Industrial) was adopted in January 1974 (Ordinance No. 611). Development criteria and uses for the Planned Community (Industrial) District were listed in the "Planned Community District Regulations", and included light industrial uses such as: research, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, warehousing, construction and services. These regulations also included support commercial uses such as printing, offices, restaurants, auditoriums and commercial sales. Ordinance No. 611 was amended in 1980 to expand the uses in a portion of the Irvine Industrial Complex to include the Neighborhood Commercial Section which includes uses such as retail sales and retail services including dance studios and fitness centers. A copy of the current district regulations are included as Attachment A. On June 10, 1991 the Planning Commission heard a request for a Use Determination 91-02 to determine that martial arts studios were outright permitted uses within the Irvine Industrial Complex. The Planning Commission determined that martial arts studios could be an allowed use in the District, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. At that meeting, the Planning Commission also provided direction to the staff to prepare a Code Amendment for consideration to allow recreational uses such as martial arts studios in the district subject to a conditional use permit. A public hearing notice identifying the time, date and location of the public hearing on this project was published in the Tustin News. Property owners within 300 feet were also notified by mail of the hearing. In addition, hearing notices were posted at the Police Department. DISCUSSION Zone change 91-03 would further expand the uses of the Irvine Industrial District to allow private indoor recreational uses such as batting cages, dance, gymnastic and martial arts studios subject to the requirements of a conditional use permit in the Industrial/Support Commercial section of the Planned Community District. It is not intended that this list of indoor recreational _ Planning Commission Report Zone Change 91-03 August 12, 1991 Page 3 uses include racquetball/handball or health clubs/spas. The discretionary approval process would allow the Planning Commission to approve private indoor recreational uses, such as batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios and martial arts studios, based on evaluation of every application. All applications would be required to meet the development standards of the Planned Community District Regulations, the Tustin City Code, the Uniform Building Code and any other applicable standards. Mitigation measures may be incorporated into each projects approval which mitigate any potential significant effects with conditions of approval adopted to enforce any mitigation measures. The Neighborhood Commercial section of the Irvine Industrial Complex includes as permitted uses, dance studios and fitness centers which are similar to the indoor recreational uses proposed in Zone Change 91-03. The recently adopted Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District - currently makes provisions for recreational uses such as batting cages, dance studios and gymnastic studios on its list of conditionally permitted uses. A letter objecting to Zone Change 91-03 and the subsequent Conditional Use Permit 91-11 to allow a martial arts studio has been received by the Department (Attachment B). The objection was conveyed by property owners within the 300 -foot radius public hearing notice area who are concerned that the users of the proposed martial arts studio and other recreational uses may be "rowdy and destructive" of property in the area. Zone Change 91-03 would also amend the parking requirements for the Irvine Industrial Complex to require one parking space per three (3) persons allowed under the maximum occupancy of any building proposed for an indoor recreational use. This is similar to standards adopted for other assembly uses within the City of Tustin. The existing parking requirements for the Irvine Industrial Complex as listed in the Planned Community District Regulations are one (1) space per 250 -square feet of office use and one (1) space per 500 - square feet for the first 20,000 -square feet of manufacture research and assembly, and one (1) space per 1,000 -square feet for the first 20,000 -square feet for warehouse uses. Planning Commission Report Zone Change 91-03 August 12, 1991 Page 4 CONCLUSION The proposed zone change will result in more consistent regulations for the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community (Industrial) District. Private indoor recreational uses such as batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios and martial arts studios will be allowed in the entire Irvine Industrial Complex with a conditional use permit, while currently, similar uses such as dance studios. and fitness centers are outright permitted uses in the Neighborhood Commercial section. In addition, certain parking requirements will be established for said recreational uses to mitigate any adverse effects created by the additional uses. The proposed conditional use permit process will ensure that all proposed recreational uses are evaluated in detail for a site specific location and compatibility with surrounding uses. For these reasons, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Negative Declaration for the project by adopting Resolution No. 2932 and adopt Resolution No. 2933 recommending approval of Zone Change 91- 03 to the City Council.

Our reason for objecting to the uses involved in the zone change proposal 91-03 and the conditional use Permit 91-11 is that we believe that these uses will bring into the area an element, youthful for the most part, who are in many instances, rowdy and destructive of property and who very often are members of gangs and who desecrate walls with graffity.

JULY 12, 1991 Date Signatu EXHIBIT A INITIAL STUDY RESPONSE ZONE CHANGE 91-03 BACKGROUND The proposed project is a request to amend the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community District Regulations for the PC -IND (Planned Community -Industrial) zoning district to include various private, indoor recreational uses such as batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios, and martial arts studios as conditionally permitted uses. This project would also amend the District Regulations to include parking requirements for the private, indoor recreational uses. These parking standards would require one space per each three (3) persons allowed under the occupancy of the building. 1. EARTH Items A through G - "No" The zone change would not result in any change to existing earth conditions and topographical features as most of the private, indoor recreational uses will occur in existing developed industrial or commercial space which will require no alterations to the site. All effects on earth at a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code UBC Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. 2. AIR Items A through C - "No" The zone change itself will not contribute to air emissions or degrade air quality. All effects on air quality at a site would be reviewed for conformance with the AQMD Standards and all other applicable standards during the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: AQMD Standards City of Tustin Municipal Code MitigationlMonitoring Required: None required. Exhibit A - Zone Change Page 2 3. WATER Initial Study Response 91-03 Items A through I - "No" There are no bodies of water that exist within the Irvine Industrial Complex. The zone change would not result in any change to water currents, run-off rates, change of surface water, alteration of direction .of water, quantity of ground water or reduction of water or water related hazards as the amended uses will generally take place in existing developed commercial or industrial structures. All effects on drainage of a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed during the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal- Code UBC Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. 4. PLANT LIFE Items A through D - "No" There will be no change in diversity of species, number of species or introduction of new species as a result of this zone change. All effects on the plant life -of a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed during the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code CEQA Standards Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. 5. ANIMAL LIFE Items A through D - "No" There will be no change in diversity of species or number of animals as a result of this zone change. All effect on the animal life of a. site as a result of. this zone change would be addressed during the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code CEQA Standards Exhibit A - Initial Study Response Zone Change 91-03 Page 3 Mitigation.JMonitorina Required: None required. 6. NOISE Item A - "Maybe" Item B - "No" The zone change may result in increases in existing noise levels. However, the amended uses would be required to conform to the maximum allowed level of 70 dBa in the Industrial District as permitted by the Tustin Noise Ordinance. All effect on the noise levels of a site as a result of this zone change would be reviewed for conformance with the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance and other applicable standards during the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. MitiaationLMonitorinq Required: Conditional Use Permit process • would require the amended use to conform with the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance which requires that the noise level for all industrial districts shall not exceed 70 dBa. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code UBC 7. LIGHT AND GLARE "No" The zone change would not result in any change to light and glare levels as most amended uses will occur in existing commercial or industrial structures. All effect on the light and glare levels of a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed during the conditional use permit process at the time new improvement plans are proposed. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code UBC S. LAND USE "Yes" The zone change would result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned land use of the Irvine Industrial Complex. Currently, a small portion of the Irvine Industrial Complex PC -IND District, the Neighborhood Commercial section, includes, as permitted uses, dance studios and fitness centers. The Exhibit A - Initial Study Response Zone Change 91-03 Page 4 Industrial/Support Commercial section of the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community Regulations, which accounts for the balance of the properties in the Irvine Industrial Complex, does not allow private, indoor recreational uses as outright or conditionally permitted uses. However, there is currently a dance studio operating in this section of the Irvine Industrial Complex. This studio has been in operation at the location for three years with no detrimental effects apparent to the other land uses in the Irvine Industrial Complex. Other industrial districts such as the Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District currently have recreational uses such as batting cages, dance studios and gymnastic studios on their list of Conditionally Permitted Uses. The discretionary approval process will be employed at the time these uses are proposed to ensure that measures are taken to mitigate any harmful effects of the proposed use. The zone change would increase the consistency of the Planned Community District Regulations for the Irvine Industrial Complex which is currently housing a dance studio by allowing batting cages, dance studios, gymnastic studios, and martial arts studios in the entire PC -IND district subject to the provisions. of a conditional use permit. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code Field Verification Business License Records Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Conditional Use Permit process. 9. NATURAL RESOURCES Items A throucarh B - "No" The zone change would not result in changes to natural resources and non-renewable resources as most private, indoor recreational uses will be located in existing commercial or industrial structures. All effects to natural resources on a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed during the conditional use permit process at the time any new development plans are proposed.

The zone change would not affect the existing housing, or create a demand for additional housing. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code City of Tustin General Plan Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. Exhibit A - Initial Study Response Zone Change 91-03 Page 6 13. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION Items A and B - "Maybe" Items C through F - "No" The zone change may result in generation of additional vehicle movement and may effect existing parking facilities or create a demand for new parking. However, the zone change would also amend parking standards for the private indoor recreational uses, requiring one parking space to be supplied for each three (3) persons allowed under the occupancy of the building. This will result in a more restrictive parking standard than the one with which the industrial complex was built. For example, a B-2 occupancy requires 15 -square feet per occupant. The amended parking ratio would require one parking space per 45 -square feet of the strucutre. The existing parking requirement for the Irvine Industrial Complex PC -IND District is one (1) space per 250 -square feet of office use and one (1) space per 500 -square feet of research and assembly and warehouse uses. Therefore, many existing sites within the Irvine Industrial Complex PC -IND District will be unable to accommodate the amended uses. The zone change would not have substantial impact on the existing transportation systems nor would it result in alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of people and goods, since most of the amended uses will occur in existing commercial and industrial spaces which have limited occupancy and therefore will generate limited trips.- All transportation and circulation changes at a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed, and appropriate mitigation measures applied during the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code Public Works Department Uniform Building Code Mitigation JMonitoring Required: The Conditional Use Permit process requires that all projects conform to applicable UBC and Municipal Codes and Development Standards. All amended uses will be reviewed for conformance with existing circulation improvements and parking standards. 14. PUBLIC SERVICES All amended uses occurring in existing commercial and industrial structures would be adequately served by existing City of Tustin services. All public services impacts at a site as a result of this zone change would be addressed during the conditional use Exhibit A - Initial Study Response Zone Change 91-03 Page 7 permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code Public Works Department MitigationlMonitoring Required: None required. 15. ENERGY Items A through F - "No" The zone change would not affect the use of energy in the Irvine Industrial Complex. Since most amended uses will occur in existing commercial and industrial. structures, energy needs will be met under current source requirements. All energy impacts on a site as a result of this zone change would be evaluated through the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code Community Development Department Public Works Department Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. 16. UTILITIES Items A through F - "No" The zone change would not result in a need for new systems or substantial alteration to utilities such as natural power or gas, communications, water, sewer, storm drainage or solid waste disposal as most amended uses will occur in existing commercial and industrial structures. All impacts on utilities resulting from this zone change would be addressed through the conditional use permit process at the time new development plans are proposed. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code Community Development Department Public Works Department MitigationjMonitoring Required: None required. 17. HUMAN HEALTH Items A through B - "No" The zone change would not result in any new health hazard.

SOLID WASTE "No" The zone change would not create any additional solid waste disposal requirements. Sources: Community Development Department Mitiaationimonitoring Required: None required. 19. AESTHETICS "No" The zone change would not result in any obstruction of any scenic vista or view open to the public, or result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to the public view as it is adding new uses in a developed PC -IND district which will occur primarily in existing commercial and industrial structures. All aesthetic considerations resulting from new development proposals will be addressed during design review. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code 20. RECREATION "No" The zone change would have no detrimental impact on the quality or quantity of existing recreational opportunities provided by public community services or private recreational uses. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code Community Services Department Mitigationimonitoring Required: None required. 21. CULTURAL RESOURCES Items A through D - "No" The zone change would not result in any change or impact on Exhibit A - Initial Study Response Zone Change 91-03 Page 9 cultural resources as there are no Cultural Resources located within the Irvine Industrial Complex PC -IND District. Sources: City of Tustin Municipal Code City of Tustin Historical Resources Survey Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None required. 22.
