PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. ZC 69-198 - SCHOLZ HOMES ON BEHALF OF FIRST WESTERN BANK & TRUST COMPANY For rezoning of an 11.1 acre parcel from the E-4 (Estate Residential) DiStrict to the PC (Planned Community) District. Located at the ~northwest corner of the intersection of Irvine Boulevard (Fourth Street) and Prospect Avenue. Councilman Marsters stated that he is a home owner in the immediate vicinity and will therefore abstain in the matter. Mr. Supin~er explained the location of the site and that the property is now zoned E-4 and application is foT PC (Planned Community). The Planning Commission had recommended denial of this zone change! by a 7-0 vote. Mayor Coco announced that 'a letter had been received from Scholz Homes requesting a postponement or continuation to an un'determined time pending the outcome of requested workshop. Hearing opened at-8~10 P.M. Council Minutes 12-15-69 Page 2 Mr. R. Matthewson, 17712 Westbury Lane, Tustin, referred to petition of approximately 500 names opposing this ap- plication, which had been submitted to the Planning~Com- mission. Mayor Coco explained that all information presented to the Planning Commission, including the petition, comments and Commission action is in the Councilmen's folders. He asked that all comments this evening be a brief summary or new __ testimony. Mr. Matthewson stated that this zoning would be a serious incursion into the E-4 area, would bring an increase in population of 600 times more than under the present zoning. No matter how painted this is,still a housing project and · would create dense population. Mr. Matthewson urged the Council to uphold the Commission reconunendations and deny this application. Mr. Norman Temple, 17572 Westbury Lane, spoke on the need for screening and did not believe the few dying Eucalyptus trees and suggested planting of Pers{mmon trees could be considered adequate screening. He stated the applicant had stated that a development of this quality could not go in an apartment neighborhood. The residents in this area think it is equally bad in an E-4 area. Of the signers of the petition submitted, only 5% to 10% reside outside of this area. He felt that the signatures of north Tustin residents showed that those people are keeping a close watch on Tustin amd any zoning action could affec~ future annexations. Mr. Henry Cobb, 17732 Westbury Lane, asked that the Council vote down any continuation and to make a clear cut decision. He saw no reason to continue this in workshop form. Mr. Cobb suggested that this application be passed on first and then if a workshop is wanted they could resubmit to the Planning Commission. There being no further co~a~ents or objections the hearing was declared closed at 8:20 P.M. Councilman L. Miller stated that although he lives in the immediate vicinity he is not within the area that is posted and would preclude him from voting. In fairness to the applicant, the Council does have over 500 names requesting that this zoning not be g~anted and have received a report from the T.N.T. Committee and from DRA, which is our con- su!~ants hired to assist the City in deveio~ment. The reports received indicate that they do not recommend apart- ments for this area. ~oved by L. Miller? seconded by Oster, that ZC 69-198 of Scholz Homes be denied. Councilman Oster stated that he had had the opportunity to be on the Planning Commission when this matter was presented and had seen nothing tonight which would indicate that the matter should be continued, In llne with Council Policy, where there is · new and different plan submitted it would normally be sent back to the Planning Commission. It would not be fair to have this matter continued indefinitely. If the applleant wants to come back with new plans they would go before'~he Commission and notices ~Oh~d go out. M~. C, Mille~Is~ated that i~ this ts ~ ~o~ed ~e ~ould be one of the few times the COuncil has not continued a matter when requestedby the applicant. In this case, what · the applicant has proposed is far enough away from what is felt should be done on the property that the usual l~ind of thing that comes out ef workshop would be fruitless. Council Minutes 12-15-69 Page 3 Mayor Coco stated that evidently since the app~ation has generated almost unanimous oppositionon the Planning C6~r~n and with area residents and since it is so far out it probably would be a better idea for~the applicant to reapply. Itlis an ob- vious matter that.this land will be developed someday. It is healthy for the City and the residents in the area that it be developed in a high quality manner. The applicant has requested defertel because of a workshop. Should this be deniedhe submitted that a workshop may still'be helpful to indicate/to the applicant what the feelings are of. the Clty and the citizens of the area. The applicant can base his opinions and ~is decisions relative to reapplylng on &n in- formal feeling. Mayor Coco said he would be in concurrence with denial at this time. 'Motion to deny ZC 69-198 carried. Councilman Marsters ab~ staining. 2. PZ 69-119 - HESTER TRUST ON BEHALF OF HARRIET O. ENDERLE - Continued from 10-20-69 Application of Hester Trust on behalf of Harriet O. Enderle for prezoning and rezoning of a parcel of approximately 22 acres. e. PC-C~2 (Planned Corrmunity - Central Cor~nercial) on the northerly approximately 11 acres ironring 564 feet on the south side of 17th Street and 880 feet on =the e~st side of Yorba Street (existing commercialldevelopment is not a part of the ap- plication) --- b.

APPEAL - UP-69-32O of RED HILL TEXACO Appeal of the decision of the Planning Conunission denying application of Red Hill Texaco for a use per- mit (UP 69-320)~to permit the outside storage and rental of trailers, camper trailers, medium sized moving vans(or trucks)'and/or motor coaches in con- - junction with ah existing service station located at the southwes~ corner of the intersectionOf Red Hill Avenue and Laguna!Road. Site is the location of existing service station at 13931 Red Hill Avenue. Mr. Supin~er explained the.location and stated that this station was developed prior to the adoption of the ordi- nance in 1966 which~re~uires the issuance of a Use Permit for service stations and prior to the adoption of the Service Station Site Development Guide. Mr. Supinger stated that this application had been denied by the Planning Commission~at their November 24 meeting. Council Minutes 12-15-69 Page Hearing opened at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Ray Trizlnsky, partner in Red Hill Texaco Service referred to their letter of appeal and reviewed the following: The appeal is based on the following modifications to the originalapplicatlon on file: -- 1. To llmit the number of units on the property to four (4), which will include one (1) motor coach and khree (3). tent trailers. 2.To store the four (4) units at the rear of the prop- erty behind the service station building. 3.To be granted s temporary "Use Permit" for the period of only one (1) year. The justifications for the appeal are as follows: 1. This operation is conducive to the health, safetys morals, comfort, convenience and welfare of persons living or working in our comu~unity. 2. This operation will be an asset to the co~uLunity be- cause it provides the answer to a needs a need for attractive and safe vehicles which will enable every- one to better enjoy their leisure time. 3. The four (4) vehicles will require no more than four (4) parking stalls. With so few vehicles on the property ample parking stalls remain for the con- venience of employees and customers. 4. The small number of vehicles on the property will in no way cause a problem of congestion as they will not be near driveways. 5. These vehicles will be s great distance away from sidewalks, and therefore will not interfere with the safety of pedestrians. All four (4) vehicles will be obscured because of their location behind buildings, trees or shrubs, except for one point along Laguna Road. They will not obstruct the vision olf passing motorists in any direction. 7. We are concerned and interested in beautification ef- fort~ by the City of Tustin, If, in the opinion of the Planning Department, the present on-site land- scaping is below current minumum standards set by the Ordinance covering service statfon site develop- ment, we would be glad to consider any recommendations in this regard. 8. There will be no blatant advertising of these vehicles through the use of flags~ banners, signs, etc. on the property. 9. It is our opinion that these vehicles are much more at~re~i~e than t~ or three tow ~rucks o~ servie~ 10. It is our feeling that it is ,just as compatible, if not more so, for a service staeion to conduct this type of business or operation, as it is for a service station to have a restaurant on its roof; for a drive- in dairy to sell gasoline; for a car wash ~o sell gssoline; arid for drug stores, markezs and de~artmen~ ~ .'~ Council Minutes 12-15-69 Pegs 5 stores to sell oil or any other product that is more appropriately sold in a service station. 11. Rolls-Homes, Inc., owners of the vehicle~:~ed on th~ property, have agreed that they will ~t ~lace any of these vehicles on any other property in the City. Based upon the'above modifications end justifications, Mr. Trizinsky res.peetfully requested the Council's favorable consideration for this appeal. Mr, Trizinsky 'pointed out that they ere aware of only one property owner who has expressed disapproval of our original epplication', butarealso aware of the fact that said property.owner has a tenant on his property who conducts a rental business. He elso pointed out that as some members of the Planning Commission did vote fevorably on a Use Per- mit, their applicetion did have merit. Mr. F. Oaks, representing Texaco, Inc., stated that they -lease this site to the applicants end feel that if they would put the trailers as they have suggested, in the back of the building, they, are almost completely invisible from the street, These are not unsightly hauling trailers--these tent trailers when folded and stored are not more than three feet highl Mr. Oaks requested Council consideration in granting this Use Permit as stated. There being no further comments or objections the hearing was declared closed at 8:40 P.M. Councilman L. Miller stated that he had gone down and looked at the applicant's property abd complimented them on the quality, clean and uncluttered gas station they have. On the two opposite corners, stations have tow trucks, unsightly tire displays and other items that did not add-to the char- aeter of the community. Mr. Miller said he would like to see the present applicant remain in the conmunity. In reading the original recommendetion of limiting the Use Permit to one year, if the use does not follow the rdesires ~anted this evening, the Use Permit can be revoked. Councilman Oster stated that he had voted fo~ this applica= tion at the Planning Commission and that he would do so agai~ as what is preseuted tonight is better. Moved byOster~ sec~nded'b~ L. Miller, that UP 69-320 of R~d Hill Texaco be ~ranted so as to provide a maximum number of four units on the property with the storage of eachto be at the rear Of the property, behind the=service station building as shown on the plot plan before this meet= ing, that the use be granted for a period of one (1) year and that no signs be ueilized in connection with the Offer- ing of these vehicles to the public. Councilmen Marsters stated that he did not feel that this aetiyity does a lotto enhance the beauty of the City and does' add to elutte~ and if the people in this business particularly want to be in the gas station business they should confine their activities. The Service station Development Guides arealong this line, therefore he would vote against fhis motion, In answer to questipning, Mr. Supin~er stated he was not sure whether there are street trees there or not. ~ouncilmsn C. Miller agreed thet this is the best looking .station at .that.intersection, by far, but agreed with Mr. Marsters that this kind of thing can be e problem. The H7 Council Minutes 12-15-69 Page 6 .application is for a year, however, and if it turns out to be a poor use and a detriment, it will com up again and continued use can be determined at that time. Mr. Miller suggested an amendment to the minute order to require the compliance to the extent possible with the requirements of the Service Station Site Development Guide. Particularly interested that there are street trees. Councilman Oster and L. Miller, maker and seconder of the above motion, were agreeable to the addition of requirements suggested by Councilman C. Miller to' their motion. In answer to questioning, Mr. Trizinskl said that the parking stalls for the 4 vehicles would be plainly marked. All adver- tising would be outside advertising in newspapers, etc. Above motion carried. Councilman Marstots voting no. VII. OLD BUSINESS 1.

Mn Gill also explained that the fifth Police unit listed in the Resolution will be in next year's budget but ordering at this time will enable the City to get earlier delivery of a 1970 model, rather than wait for a 1971 model.

The City has adopted three resolutions in the past and President Green would like a confirmation as to what the City's cur- rent desires are.

Mr. Gill referred to two other alternatives mentioned in the letter from President Green. The Council discussed the following facts: 1o That it seems inequitable for people in the inland Cities to pay the same tax as those directly on the beach and there is the question of equal distrubution. 2.

Newport-Freeway, and these Center Islands be equivalent in width tO others On Irvine Boulevard. Carried. 5. Center Island Policy from R, Edgar, Chairman of Parks and Recreation Commission. ~ayor Coco explained that this.is a recommendation that the Council adoptas a matter of policy the commitment to install center dividers along certain main streets and establish a priority within this plan. Mr. Edgar stated that the purpose of this policy would be to reduce into words the goals and plans for center islands developments and spelling out the streets such as First Street, E1 Camino Real, and Newport Boulevard. This would not be conclusive as to additions or deletions. It was brought out that although the City feels committed to center island dividers, priorities would depend on annexa- tions, wheh streets'are developed'to ultimate widths, ac- quisition of right-el-way; etc., and recommendations from the DRAand the T.N,T. Committee. It was the decision of:the Council that this matter is in- appropriate at this time and it be deferred to a later date. 6.- California Council o~ Interbovernmental Relations Mrz.
