To administer review of each report and additional

2. APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 91-04, 305 EAST MAIN STREET
Anne Bonner, Assistant Planner, reported that the property
owners at 305 E. Main Street were appealing a condition of
approval for Conditional Use Permit 91-04 and requested
elimination or modification of the condition. The City Code
required a right-of-way dedication or improvement prior to
the issuance of permits for commercially zoned properties
especially those that abut designated streets on the City's
Master Plan of Streets and Highways. Main Street was
classified as a primary arterial and an additional 10 foot
dedication was required at this property. The City Engineer
and the City Attorney's office did not recommend modifying or
eliminating the condition of approval for the following
reasons: 1) The City participates in a County of Orange
Arterial Highway Financing Program requiring protection of
rights-of-way based upon cooperative cost sharing with the
county to construct or maintain these roadways; and 2) the
Orange County Transportation Authority determined that local
agency non-compliance with the Master Plan of Arterial
Highways would be ineligible for various State funding
resulting in a substantial financial impact to the City.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding review procedures
for .Conditional Use Permits and right-of-way dedication
requirements.
Mayor Puckett opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m.
The following member of the audience spoke in opposition to
Conditional Use Permit 91-04:
David Pool, Secretary, Tustin Masonic Temple Association
There were no other speakers on the subject and the public
hearing was closed.
Councilmember Edgar questioned if, after the dedication of
right-of-way, the Council could permit the structure to be
used as a day care center for a certain number of years
without invoking the right-of-way.
James Rourke, City Attorney, replied that option could be
reviewed but he did not believe that proposal would be in
conformity with the Arterial Highway Financing Program.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4, 5-6-91
Councilmember Prescott stated he was concerned with the
arterial highway designation on Main Street and the possible
destruction of historic buildings. He believed a day care
center was needed in Tustin and requested continuance to the
next meeting to explore creative alternatives.
Mayor Pro Tem Pontious was also in favor of a day care center
but stated the City must protect its funding.
It was moved by Prescott. seconded by Potts, to continue this
item to the May 20th Council meeting to develop a creative
solution which would allow a day care center on that location
without jeopardizing State funding.
Motion carried 5-0.
3. GENERAL PLAN EXTENSION REQUEST
Dana Ogden, Senior Planner, reported that California State
Law required each city to adopt a comprehensive General Plan
for the physical development of the community. Currently the
General Plan was being updated under contract and expected to
be completed and approved by the City in 18 months. The
State of California Government Code Section 65361 authorized
local agencies to apply for a one-year extension of time,
with the possibility of an additional one year extension if
needed, in order to complete and adopt revisions to the
mandatory elements of the General Plan without fear of
litigation.
Mayor Puckett opened the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. There
were no speakers on the subject and the public hearing was
closed. '
Mayor Pro Tem Pontious supported the General Plan extension
and its importance as a guide for the future of Tustin.
Councilmember Edgar requested progress reports on the General
Plan update. Council concurred.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding the General Plan
completion date.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Pontious, to adopt the
following Resolution No. 91-44 requesting that the State
Office of Planning and Research approve a 12 -month extension
for City preparation and adoption of an updated General Plan:
RESOLUTION NO. 91-44 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

4. APPEAL OF AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 89-45 (COLONIAL
BIBLE CHURCH)
Dan Fox, Senior Planner, reported in March 1990, the Planning
Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow
Colonial Bible Church to establish their facility at 14450
Chambers Road and reciprocal parking for that church at 14401
Franklin Avenue and 14450 Chambers Road in the Planned
Community -Industrial District with required sidewalk
installation on the 14450 Chambers property. The Planning
Commission adopted a resolution modifying that Condition to
defer installation of the sidewalk up to six months from
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the church. The
applicant appealed that decision and was requesting the City
Council relieve them entirely from the obligation to install
a sidewalk adjacent to 14450 Chambers.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding time frame for
requiring sidewalk installation.
Mayor Puckett opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m.
The following member of the audience spoke in opposition to
the sidewalk requirement:
Mike Hamilton, Colonial Bible Church representative
There were no other speakers on the subject and the public
hearing was closed.
Councilmember Edgar stated he thought the sidewalk was
impractical and would not be used because people would walk
.through the parking lot instead of crossing over a berm and
_ landscaping to walk on the sidewalk.
Mayor Puckett questioned whether the sidewalk would be
required in the future and felt that the sidewalk was not
necessary at this time.
Councilmember Prescott said he favored waiving the
requirement.
Mayor Pro Tem Pontious wanted complete sidewalking in the
industrial area but would be willing to postpone the
requirement to a future date.
Councilmember Potts said he was opposed to sidewalks in
industrial areas and felt there was not a pedestrian safety
factor involved.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Prescott, to agendize on
May 20th a resolution deleting the sidewalk installation
requirement adjacent to 14450 Chambers Road; and authorized
staff to release the subject Certificate of Occupancy.
Motion carried 5-0.

Council approved the Orange County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan, its associated Environmental Impact Report, and adopted
an urgency ordinance regarding city-wide interim zoning
regulations for the siting of hazardous waste facilities.
The county Plan was sent to the State Department of Health
Services on June 1, 1989, but was formally disapproved after
it was determined that the County's Plan did not comply with
the State's guidelines. The County made changes in the Plan
and it was recirculated to Orange County cities for approval.
He summarized the changes of the Plan and stated staff had
reviewed the proposed amendments and recommended that the
Final Environmental Impact Report be determined adequate for
consideration of the Orange County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan as amended through adoption of Resolution No. 91-67, and
that the amendments to the Plan be approved through adoption
of Resolution No. 91-65. He added that with Council's

3. TRAFFIC STUDY - NEWPORT AVENUE AT EL CAMINO WAY/I-5
NORTHBOUND ON-RAMP
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported that
the Council requested staff conduct a traffic study on
Newport Avenue in the vicinity of El Camino Way/I-5
northbound on-ramp, particularly the northbound left turning
movement onto the I-5 northbound on-ramp. The major
congestion was caused by the closure of Red Hill Avenue
on/off-ramps and the lack of adequate storage for the
northbound left -turn pocket on Newport Avenue at E1 Camino
Way. He recommended Alternative 1A, striping changes to
provide two westbound lanes on El Camino Way and shorten the
southbound left -turn pocket on Newport Avenue at Nisson. He
also summarized the peak/non-peak hour roadway condition
utilizing other proposed alternatives.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding the use of police
department overtime for traffic control.
Councilmember Potts stated he supported Alternative lA with
the inclusion of Alternative No. 4, using City police
officers on overtime during peak congestion periods, if it
was funded by Caltrans.
Councilmember Edgar requested staff submit an implementation
progress report in 30-60 days.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Potts, to approve striping
changes to provide two westbound lanes on El Camino Way and
shorten the southbound left turn pocket on Newport Avenue at
Nisson Road; use City police officers during peak congestion
periods; and direct staff to submit a mitigation analysis
report to Council in 30-60 days.
