A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN APPROVE ZONE
CHANGE 03-004, AMENDING THE IRVlNE INDUSTRIAL
COMPLEX DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO DESIGNATE
OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE AS A
CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE AND ESTABLISH
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR OUTDOOR
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I.. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
Ao
That a proper application was filed by AAA Quality Self-Storage for Zone
Change 03-004 to amend the Irvine Industrial Complex District
Regulations to designate outdoor recreational vehicle (RV) storage as a
conditionally permitted use and establish development standards for
outdoor recreational vehicle storage.
a.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on June 9, 2003, by the Planning Commission.
Co
That Zone Change 03-004 is recommended for adoption based upon the
following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change to conditionally.permit outdoor storage of
recreational vehicles is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that
the site is located within a Planned Community Commercial/Business
land use designation. This land use designation provides for a
mixture of uses and activities such as warehousing, distribution,
research and development, commercial, and office uses.
.
Outdoor recreational vehicle storage, if adequately regulated, is
appropriate within the context of the industrial character of the Irvine
Industrial Complex.
.
As shown in the Negative Declaration prepared for Zone Change
03-004 (Exhibit A of Resolution 3874), adding outdoor recreational
vehicle storage to the Irvine Industrial Complex as a conditionally
permitted use would not result in any significant or potentially
significant impacts.
.
Individual outdoor recreational vehicle storage facilities can have
potentially negative impacts on aesthetics, parking, traffic, water
quality, and land use, if not adequately regulated. As a
Resolution No. 3875

conditionally permitted use, the impacts of each outdoor
recreational vehicle storage facility would be evaluated on a case-
by-case basis by the Planning Commission to ensure compatibility.
In addition, the proposed development standards will limit the area
in which these types of uses may locate, will ensure sufficient
screening, and prohibit undesirable accessory uses such as
servicing or habitation by specifying that outdoor recreational
vehicle storage must be accessory to a primary self-storage facility,
must be located on the rear half of a lot, must not cover more than
twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area must be screened on all
sides, not encroach into required parking spaces or landscape
areas, not obstruct access to any door, window, or other entrance
to, or exit from, a building, not involve servicing or maintenance of
recreational vehicles, not involve septic dumping, and not involve
habitation of recreational vehicles.
D,
A Negative Declaration has been prepared and recommended for
adoption for this project in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
II.
The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve
Zone Change 03-004 amending the Irvine Industrial Complex District
Regulations as follows:
Section VI(C) (Permitted Uses Subject to a Conditional Use Permit):
ADD
"14. Outdoor Recreational Vehicle (RV) Storage"
