A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 02-018 AND DESIGN REVIEW 02-
018, AUTHORIZING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 2,983 SQUARE FOOT
RESTAURANT WITH AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA AND DENYING THE
INSTALLATION OF A DRIVE-THRU LANE, AT THE VACANT PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 171 E. FIRST STREET.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
A proper application, Conditional Use Permit 02-018 and Design
Review 02-018, was filed by Bob Veriato, on behalf of Farmer Boys
Restaurant, to construct a 2,983 square foot restaurant, with a
drive-thru lane and outdoor dining area, on the northwest corner of
Prospect Avenue and First Street. The property is located at 171
E. First Street and can be further described as Assessor Parcel
Number 401-532-36.
B.
The Planned Community Commercial/Business land use
designation of the General Plan provides opportunities for a mix of
retail and commercial services. The project has been reviewed for
consistency with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin
General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the
Air Quality Sub-element.
C.
The proposed uses are allowed within the "Commercial"
designation of the First Street Specific Plan, subject to the approval
of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission.
D.
A public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on May 12,
2003, by the Planning Commission, at which the applicant,
members of the public, and members of the Planning Commission
spoke about the potential impacts and benefits of the project.
Following public testimony and discussion, the Planning
Commission continued the item to June 9, 2003, to allow the
applicant and staff time to address the concerns that had been
raised.
E,
On May 27, 2003, the applicant submitted a revised site plan
without the drive-through lane as an alternative to the applicant's
preferred site plan with a drive-thru lane for the Planning
Commission's consideration.
F.
That it is appropriate to approve the restaurant with an outdoor
dining area and deny the installation of a drive-thru lane based upon
the findings listed below. In determining whether to approve or deny
Resolution No. 3870
Page 2
a request, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not
the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety, morals,
comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing in or working in
the neighborhood, or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to
property or improvements in the vicinity, or to the welfare of the City.
1)
The site is zoned to accommodate a variety of commercial
uses. Approving the restaurant with an outdoor dining area
and denying the drive-thru lane is a good balance between
the need to develop commercial properties and protect the
general welfare of nearby residents.
2)
That the drive-thru lane will be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons
residing in the neighborhood in that:
a)
b)
c)
The drive-thru lane would be too close to the
residences to the north, and the noise and activity from
the speaker board and pick-up window would be
noticeable and disruptive to persons residing in the
area and be detrimental to their health, comfort, and
general welfare.
The potential traffic conflicts at the entrance to the
drive-thru lane cannot be entirely eliminated; and,
The drive-thru lane may not accommodate other
types of fast food restaurants that typically generate
higher amounts of traffic and queuing, and the
applicant requested that he not be required to provide
an estimate and post a bond to ensure removal of the
drive-thru lane in the event the Farmer Boys use
ceases and another drive-thru user cannot be
accommodated on-site.
3)
As shown on the revised site plan, the building location and
site layout will comply with the development standards and
design guidelines of the First Street Specific Plan with respect
to number of parking spaces, building height, building
setbacks, lot coverage, and landscape coverage. In particular,
the Design Guidelines encourage buildings to be placed close
to First Street to "create a more appealing, active streetscape
and to ensure privacy of Iow density residential areas" and the
building placement complies with this guideline by:
a)
b)
Orienting the primary entrance toward First Street;
Locating the parking areas to the side and rear of the
building and, as conditioned, linking the parking areas
to the building entrance with walkways, including
creating a third building entrance to facilitate direct
access from the rear parking lot to the building;
Resolution No. 3870
Page 3
4)
5)
6)
c)
d)
Locating the patio near the intersection to promote the
pedestrian experience and create a buffer from the
residences to the north; and,
Providing a thick, ten (10) foot landscape buffer along
the northern property line to buffer residences.
No off-site traffic impacts are anticipated since the project
(without a drive-thru lane) would generate 1,083 vehicle trips
per day (ADT). The maximum vehicle capacity of First
Street is 37,500 vehicles per day and its current volume is
18,300 vehicles per day and the maximum vehicle capacity
of Prospect Avenue is 25,000 vehicles per day, and its
current volume is 9,700 vehicles per day. In addition, as
conditioned, no on-site circulation conflicts are anticipated in
that the parking lot layout would facilitate vehicle maneuvers,
the two (2) angled parking spaces near the Prospect Avenue
entrance would be reconfigured during plan check, and the
First Street entrance would be limited to right-turn in and
right-turn out only by the applicant installing a "Right Turn
Only" sign and a type "N-I" marker on the existing solid
median in First Street to direct vehicles to safe vehicular
movements.
The proposed project, as conditioned, will comply with the
Tustin Noise Ordinance and is not anticipated to create a
significant noise impact on the surrounding area by:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Limiting all rooftop mechanical equipment to be
selected to ensure the noise level shall not exceed
sixty-five (65) dBa at ten (10) feet to ensure compliance
with the City's Noise Ordinance;
Ensuring the rooftop parapet will be a minimum five (5)
feet high;
Ensuring the Acoustical Engineer will certify the final
plans; and,
Ensuring a thick, ten (10) foot landscape buffer and a
seven (7) foot high wall will be provided along the
northern property line to buffer residences.
The proposed project, as conditioned, is not anticipated to
create a significant impact on the air quality in the surrounding
area since the project complies with Section 42303 of the
Health and Safety Code and the South Coast Air Quality
Management District, and the applicant shall utilize Best
Available Control Technology (BACT) on all cooking and
exhaust equipment in accordance with AQMD standards due
to the property's proximity to residential properties. In addition,
the trash enclosure will be relocated to minimize odor, vermin,
or other impacts on residences to the north. If odor, vermin, or
Resolution No. 3870
Page 4
7)
8)
other impacts occur, the applicant would be required to
implement immediate and permanent measures to eliminate
the impacts.
The proposed outdoor dining area, as conditioned, will not
create a negative impact on the surrounding area since:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
The outdoor dining area will be located to the east of
the building enclosed with a Iow, twenty-eight (28) inch
high planter wall and solid, six (6) foot high wall at the
north end of the patio that matches the architecture of
the building;
No outdoor music or public address will be permitted;
All exterior patio lighting will be completely contained
with the patio area;
No alcoholic beverages will be served;
Trash receptacles will be provided in the outdoor dining
area, and the dining area shall be cleaned on a
continual, daily basis for removal of litter and food
items; and,
The outdoor dining area, and entire use, may be
reviewed annually.
Pursuant to the First Street Specific Plan and Section 9272 of
the Tustin Municipal Code, the Planning Commission finds
that the location, size, architectural features, and general
appearance of the proposed development, as conditioned, will
not impair the orderly and harmonious development of the
area, the present or future development therein, or the
occupancy as a whole. In making such findings, the
Commission has considered at least the following items:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
g)

The addition of a functioning portico at the front entrance and
a wood trellis (covered walkway) along the west elevation will
add articulation to the building, hide the utilitarian service
door on the west elevation, and facilitate access to the front
of the building from the side parking lot.
As conditioned, the hours of operations are not anticipated to
impact nearby residences in that the indoor restaurant areas
may operate from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Sunday through
Thursday and 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday
while the outdoor dining area will be limited to being open from
7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, which is consistent with sensitive
time periods established in the Noise Ordinance and General
Plan Noise Element.
The proposed project, as conditioned, will comply with the
City's Landscaping and Irrigation Guidelines and the Parking
Lot Design Guidelines and provide a significant visual buffer
for residences to the north and to passing vehicles on
Prospect Avenue by providing:
a)
A thick, ten (10) foot landscape buffer and a seven (7)
