The motion carried 4-0, Hoesterey absent. 81
2.APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF VARIANCE NO. 89-1
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, gave a
background report citing reasons the Planning Commission had
denied Variance 89-1, a request to construct two new double-faced
billboards at heights of 60' and 65 feet, to replace three
existing single-faced billboards that would be removed as a
result of the I-5 Freeway widening at 1501 Nisson Road.
James Rourke, City Attorney, added that the applicant had not
claimed the type of hardship which State law required for
granting any kind of variance. The type of variance requested
by the applicant was a use variance which was expressly
prohibited by State law and there was no basis upon which the
Council could validly grant a variance or take any other action
to approve relocation of the billboards.
Council/City Attorney discussion followed regarding amendment of
the Tustin City Code as it. pertains to billboards and ~hat
parties would challenge existing laws.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m.
The following members of the community spoke in favor of denying
the subject appeal:
Guido Borges, 2182 Dogwood Road, Tustin
Shirley Ruff, 14761 Foxcroft Road, Tustin
The following members of the community spoke in opposition to
denying the subject appeal:
Gary Mobley, 5 Park .Plaza, Irvine (attorney r~presenting
the applicant)
Eugene Tutt, 1501 Nisson Road, Tust%n (applicant)
There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public
Hearing was closed at 7:45 p.m..
It was moved by P~es~ott, seconded by Kelly, to overrule the
Planning Commission,s decision and approve Variance No. 89-1.
Mayor Pro Tem Edga~ said he had a dilemma between making .the
City of Tustin an attractive community, the exclusion of
billboards would contribute to that achievement, and he was also
a strong believer in property rights. He felt the issue of
whether or not the signs were properly grandfathered during
annexation gave a level of property rights to Mr. Tutt that
should not be ignored.
CITY COUNCIL MINUT
Page 3, 5-15-89
· Councilman Kelly believed that, for inf~rmational purposes, the
signs were necessary to inform the population oft_he Tustin Auto
Center and Tustin Marketplace. The billboards had become part
of the natural landscape and served a very usefulpurpose.
Mayor Kennedy stated the Widening of the I-5 Freeway was the only
reason the billboards were under condemnation and the City had
allowed, the billboards to remain after annexation until a change
in use or new use was requested. She noted the following reasons
for her opposition to the billboards: a use variance had been
identified as illegal by the City Attorney, the Council was not
permitted to grant a use that was in violation of the State law,
the Council would be in violation of State law by allowing a
billboard on a landscaped freeway, "spot zoning" could liable the
City and would set a precedent leading to extensive use of
billboards in Tustin, and decreased property values. She said
she would fight fiercely to defeat this variance.
Councilman Prescott thought Tustin was an All American City which
could accommodate various uses and, if the variance was granted,
would decreasethe number of billboards in the City from four to
three.
A vote of 2-2 resulted in no action on the moti05, Kennedy and
Edgar opposed, Hoesterey absent.
James Rourke advised the matter would be in abeyance for 60 days
from the date of the Planning Commission,s action and, if no
further action was taken by the City Council, the Planning
Commission's decision would be final at the end of the 60 days.

(Akins Development)
Sheila Pryor' protested the building of two-story homes adjacent to
her property. As an avid gardener/beekeeper she was concerned with
the'"' lack of sunlight in her yard due to the two-story homes and
questioned why one-story homes would not suffice.
Conrad Sick, representing Akins Development Company, said the project
had been determined consistent with the East Tustin Specific Plan
zoning requirements which allowed for the construction of two-story
homes.
Discussion between Council' and Mr. Sick followed regarding mitigation
through landscaping, walls, and location of windows.
Mayor Kennedy said unfortunately the Council would be unable to
assist Ms. Pryor with her problem since housing developments of
various storied homes did exist. She suggested that Ms. Pryor and
~he developer meet and hopefully reach a mutually agreeable
resolution.

Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, gave a

memorandum dated May 15, 1989.
Mayor Kennedy requested the Council consider the appointment of
a Tustin resident to the CRAS Board of Directors.
Councilman Kelly commented it had taken over three years to
receive a noise monitoring report filled with questions. He was
very disappointed with the Van Houten report and wanted the City
to acquire its own sound monitoring equipment hopefully within
the next year. '
M~yor Pro Tem Edgar responded he was not disappointed with the
report and Mr. Van Houten's depth of involvement had enabled the
'surfacing ~f some very penetrating questions' that reve~ed
deficiencies in the John Wayhe Airport Noise Study. He was very
pleased with the questions raised in the report and urged they
become part of the continued pressure on the airport forcing
them to provide answers.
It was moved by Edqar, seconded by Kennedy, to receive and file
subject report and staff to continue pressure on John Wayne
Airport with data from John Van Houten's report.

2. INITIATIVE MEASURE - LIMITATION OF CITY COUNCIL TERMS
James Rourke, City Attorney, reported that (1) it would not be
appropriate o~ advisable to direct the City Attorney to act on
behalf of any proponents of an initiative and (2) in his opinion
an initiative to limit terms of Councilmembers of a General Law
City could not be enacted by the electorate or the City Couhcil.
The following member of the community spok~ i~ ~
opposition to the
above staff recommendation:''
Caroie Bryant, 15500 Tustin Village Way, Tustin
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar said he had a great amount of respect for the
voters and their ability to determine what was best for the City.
When an incumbent could no longer perform the duties, he believed
the voters would decide appropriately.
Councilman Kelly responded that if Mayor Pro Tem Edgar respected
the will of the voters then he should support the i~itiative
process. Councilman Kelly encouraged the proponent of the
initiative to proceed and he recommended that the City Attorney,
whose opinion had probably been drafted upon the recommendation
of the Council majority, not in~erfere with the initiative
process.
Councilman Prescott noted an earlier conversation with the City
Attorney regarding three General Law cities in Orange County
where term limitation initiatives had qualified for the.ballot
and he had requested a legal' opinion from the City Attorney as
to why this was legal elsewhere. He stated that 98.5% of the
incumbents were reelected and the democracy would be more
representational and healthier if less incumbents were returned
to office.
It was mo~ed b~ Prescott. seconded bv Kelly, that in November of
1990the city council place on the ballot a referendum requesting
citizen approval of a non-retroactive, 12-year City Council term
limitation.
James Rourke replied that he had no conversation with any
Councilmember before or after the writing of his unbiased opinion
other than' the conversation noted by Councilman Prescott. In
reference tothe other cities with term limitations, it was his

understanding ~hat the City Attorneys in those cities had some
doubt about the validity of term-limiting ordinances. Mr. Rourke
informed the Council that the California Court of Appeals, in an
· opinion published this date,'had expressly ruled and held that
a General Law City may not enact a term limitation ordinance and
what the Council cannot do, neither can the electorate do.
Mayo~ Kennedy commented, even though she would be adhering to the'
legal ~dvice, that during her terms of service with different
Councils, she had known Councilmembers so valuable to the
community, in knowledge and energy, that it would be a tremendous
loss to limit their terms. She had also seen Councilmembers so
lacking in knowledge, understanding and dedication to the people,
they should not serve one term. Additionally, she believed the
two-term limit would give power to the professional staff, which
she did not feel was right and for those reasons was cautious
regarding term limitations.
As a substitute motion, it wag moved by Pre~cott, seconded
~, to place On the ballot an advisory initiative changing the
City from General Law to Charter Law.
A brief Council ~iscussion followed regarding the negative and''
positive aspects of General Law vs. Charter Law.
