RECOMME N DAT I ON
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency-
1)
Adopt Resolution No. RDA 89-9, certifying the Final Negative Declaration
as adequate for the project.
2)
Approve Design Review 88-20 by adoption of Resolution No. RDA 89-10,
subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit 'A' of Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2575.
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department has completed a review of the site plan and
architectural design of the proposed project. The design review process
emphasized the following issues'
o Architectural compatibility with surrounding facilities;
° Design of on-site parking and circulation; and
° Conformance wi th Zoning Code and development standard requirements.
As required by the South Central Redevelopment Plan, the final site plan and

architectural design is subject to'the review and approval of the Redevelopment
Agency. At their 'regular meeting of March 13, 1989, the Planning Commission
adopted Resolution No. 2575, approving Use Permit 89-05 for the project
authorizing construction of a two and one half story, 11 unit apartment project
on the subject property within 150 feet of an R-1 zoned property.
·
The subject property is presently developed with a one-story single family
residence. Surrounding zoning and land uses consist of two-story apartment
buildings to the north and across Pasadena Avenue to the west, one-story
apartments on property zoned R-2 (Duplex' Residential) to the south, and
one-story single family residences on property zoned R-1 to the east.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE PLAN
Submitted development plans propose construction of two separate two and one
half story, apartment buildings containing a total of eleven townhouse type
units. Proposed units will be approximately 1,200 square feet in size and
contain three bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths. The overall density of the project
would be 23.7 units per acre. The maximum number of units that can be
authorized on the site is 11 units.
Building coverage on the site will be approximately 38% with setbacks proposed
of approximately 35 feet along the front of the property, 11.75 feet along the
side lot lines and approximately 10 to 24 feet at the rear of the property
adjacent to R-1 zoned property.
A total of 25 on-site parking spaces are proposed for the project; 11 two-car
garages and three open, covered guest spaces. Proposed parking is to be
provided under each building and will be partially below existing grade. Access
to all parking is proposed from a 27. foot wide central driveway.
Entryways to each unit will be provided by concrete walkways located adjacent to
the northerly and southerly property lines of the project with. pedestrian access
to parking below grade provided at three proposed stairwells. Private ground
level open space/patio areas are also proposed at the front of each unit
adjacent to entries. Walkways and driveway areas will be accented with special
brick pavers or other special pavement treatment.
The proposed grading scheme for the project involves excavating approximately-
five feet below existing Orade for the central driveway and tuck under parking.
The resulting driveway ramp incorporates 6% blend slopes at each end with an
11.23% slope over the remaining portion. Because the garage level is only five
(5) feet below grade, and an eight (8) foot ceiling is proposed fOr the garages,
the grade at the front entrances to the units is raised an average of 3.5 feet

above existing grade. Specifically, the grading concept proposes a two foot
grade difference at the side property lines, stepping up 18 inches to the patio
and front door level. The actual finished floor level of all 11 units is six
inches above the patio level. Adjacent properties to the north and south will
face a 6'8" combination wall and fence. The grade level in the front and rear
yard setbacks will not change from existing conditions except for landscape
berming and drainage. This concept helps preserve privacy between the project
and the rear yards of the single family residences at the rear of the subject
property.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
The proposed architectural design for the project is a modified cape cod design
which utilizes a combination of wood lap-siding and stucco with wood trim at
building corners and around doors and windows. The project incorporates a
variety of insets, projections and cantilevers to achieve relief on all sides of
the two buildings. The proposed color scheme includes "silver gray" stucco,
"pearl gray" siding, "swiss coffee" trim and "charcoal gray" asphalt composition
shingles. Surrounding color and material themes in the general vicinity of the
project include white stucco with blue trim and a white gravel roof immediately
to the north, white stucco with blue trim and gray asphalt composition shingle
roofs immediately across Pasadena Avenue to the west, tan stucco and wood siding
with brick accents and a shake roof immediately to the south and general earth
tone stucco and wood siding with composition shingle, shake and gravel roofs on
the single family residences to the east. Overall, staff believes that the
proposed color and material scheme is compatible with that of surrounding
deve 1 opine nts.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above discussion, the proposed project has been found to be
compatible with surrounding developments and should be approved.

Pr. oject Description Supplement - The proposed project invo'lves the removal of an
exi.s.tt~g one.-story single family residence on an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential.)
zoned lot and development of a two and one half story, 11 unit apartment project
consisting of two (2) buildings with below grade, tucked under parking (two car
garages and three gubst spaces). Surrounding development includes: existing
two-story apartment buildings to the north and west, existing one-story apartment
units to the south, and existing one-story single family residences to the east.
.
EARTH - This project would not result in any change to existing geologic
conditions; however, grading is proposed that will require excavation 5 feet
below existing grade for driveway and parking purposes and raise grade levels
3.5 feet above existing grades for the units themselves, resulting in
disruptions, overcovering and compaction of the soil and changes to existing
topography. This is proposed to accommodate below grade, tucked under parking
and still maintain a two and one half story building design. (Source: Field
inspection, June 30, 1988, preliminary grading plans)
Mitigation Monitoring - Appropriate soils reports and precise grading
plans will be required by the Building Division prior to issuance of
grading permits to ensure proper drainage,' compaction and retention.l
2. AIR- This project would not result in any change to the existing air quality
based on review of AQMD standards for preparing EIR documents. (Source: AQMD
R~gulation No. 15, Site and Floor Plan)
3. WATER a,c,d,e.,f:g,h,i - This project would not result in any chahge to the
existing water conditions based on review of the site by City staff on June
30, 1988. The site is located in Flood Zone C, which is subject to minimal
flooding. (Source: Tustin FIRM; Proposed Site/Grading Plans)
WATER b - Improvements are proposed which will add impervious surface area to
~h6 property which could effect drainage and absorption rates. (Source' Site'
Inspection, June 30, 1988, Community Development Department).
Mitigation Monitoring - Drainage plans for the project for acceptance of
water into the public storm drain system will be reviewed and approved by
the Public Works Department. ·
.
PLANT LIFE a;b,c.,.d. - The site is developed with an existing single-family
re~{dence a'~d is landscaped with turf in front and fruit trees in the rear.
Development of this project will result in removal of existing vegetation and
replacement with new turf, shrubs, ground cover and trees that are common
species to the area. (Source:' Field Inspection, June 30, 1988, submitted

NOISE - Adjacent, existing res.idents may experience increases in ambient noise
levels related to construction.activities, however, this is considered a short
term impact.
Mitigation Monitoring - Construction activities shall be .limited between
the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday {including engine
warm-up). Construction shall be prohibited on weekends and Federal
holt days.
7. LIGHT AND GLARE - The project will introduce additional lighting into the area
t~ ~eans bf exterior fixtures on the future buildings.
Mitigation Monitoring - Specific lighting plans and light standards will
be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department Which
confine direct light rays to the subject property as required by the
Zoning Code.
e
LAND.USE - The proposed project will alter the existing land use of the site
aithOugh the proposed number of apartment units (11) is permitted by the R-3
Zoning District standards. Due to its two and one half story design, the
project could impact the adjacent properties to the east which are both
developed with one-story buildings. The one-story buildings to the south are
located within six feet or less of the common property line; however, the
resulting site line blocks views into those yards. (Source: Community
Development Department, General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning Code)
Mitigation Monitoring - ~he proposed building "A" shall maintain a
minimum 10 foot rear setback and building "B" shall maintain a minimum 24
foot rear setback. Rear yard grades shall be left natural except for
drainage purposes. Specimen size trees shall be planted along the north,
south and east property lines of the subject site to provide additional
screening.
NATURAL RESOURCES - The project would not result in any significant increased
use of natural resources. The site is presently developed, and. is located in
an area of numerous existing multi-family developments as determined by field
inspection on June 30, 1988. (Source: Field Inspection, June 30, 1988)
10. RISK OF UPSET -.The proposed project would not result in any increased risk of
Upset tc~ the property Or future residents in that.the proposed use is for an
11 unit apartment project and no hazardous or flammable materials are
associated with this use. Applicable requirements of the Fire Department and
Uniform Building Code will be satisfied to significantly reduce any risk of
upset (Source: Building Division and Fire Department)..

11. POPULATION - The proposed project will remove an existing single family
residence and replace it with 11 apartment units, adding approximately 24 new
residents to th~ area, based upon the City's average household population of
2.4 persons/household (deducting the residents of the existing dwelling). 'The
~roposed density and resulting increase in population in the immediate area
will not result in any significant impacts, as the increase in number of
dwelling units and population are permitted and anticipated by the City's.
Zoning Code and General Plan. Comments received from the Community Services,
Public Works, Police and Fire Departments did not note significant impacts to
their services as a result of this project.. (Source' State Department of
Finance Census data - 1/88, Community Development, Police, Fire, Public Works
and Community Services Department, General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning
Code. )
12. HOUSING - See No. 11.
13. TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION - The project will generate approximately seven
(7) 'average dail~ trip~'(ADT)'per unit, for a total of approximately 77 ADT as
compared to approximately 10 ADT for the existing single family .residence.
Although this is a substantial increase, the City Traffic Engineer has
determined that the project would not significantly impact the carrying
capacity of existing streets, as they are capable of handling the anticipated
additional vehicle trips generated by the project. (Source' Engineering
Department/Cl ty Traffic 'Engi neet)
14. PUBLIC SERYICES - The project would not result in any significant chan.qe to
public services, new families are likely to have children utilizing public
schools. All services are in place for the area and development of the site
has been anticipated by the Community Development Department. (Source: Fire,
Police, Public Works, Community Services Departments)
Mitigation Monitoring - The developer shall pay impact fees to the Tustin
Unified School District prior to issuance of permits.
15. ENERGY - The project will not result in a substantial change in the use of
energY. The project site has existing energy service. (Source' Public Works
Department)
1~. UTILITIES - The project would not result in any increased need for utilities,
a~ aii'l'~l~ilities are existing and presently serve the site and have adequate
capacity to .serve the project. (Source: Public Works Department)

AESTHETICS - Section 9226(c) of the Tustin City. Code requires approval of a
(j~e Permit to construct a building on an R-3 lot whose height would be greater
than one-story or 20 feet, when the property abuts an R-1 zone and the
building would be within ~50 feet of a single family residence; all of these
conditions apply to .the subject project. To mitigate potential impacts to the
single family residences to the east, and one-story apartments to the south,
the proposed project has undergone an extensive design review process,
resulting in a two and one half story building which incorporates colors and
materials that are compatible with those found on existing structures and
building height that 'is consistent with existing two-story buildings located
to the north and west. Additionally, impacts to the existing developments to
the east and south have been further mitigated by proposed side and rear
setbacks that meet and exceed minimum required setbacks and the proposed
grading scheme which minimizes grade differences to the extent possible.
Additional mitigation could be achieved via the proposed landscaping for the
project.
Mitigation Monitoring-- The landscape plans shall incorporate the use of
minimum 24 inch box trees along the north, south and east property lines
to provide additional privacy screening.
19. RECREATION - Future residents of the project may use existing recreational
facilities; however, due to the small scale of the project (11 units),
anticipated impacts are minimal. (Source' Comm. unity Development and Services
Departments)
20. CULTURAL RESOUCES - The project site is not located in an area known as an
archae61~gical resource, nor is it located in the City's Cultural Resources
District. The site is presently, developed with a simple, one-story, stuccoed,
single-family residence. There is no evidence that any cultural resources
exist on the subject property. (Source: Tustin Area Historical Survey, Field
Inspection, June 30, 1988.)
21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE- The environmental evaluation provided
' herein, '"~'l~templ~s to fully tdehl~ify, discuss and mitigate any impacts
associated with the proposed development project. Considering the sources
used, the proposed level of development and the mitigation and monitoring
measures incorporated herein, staff has determined that any project impacts
have been mitigated to a level of insignificance.
