Page two
° Conformance with Zoning Code and development standard requirements.
As required by the Town Center Redevelopment Plan, the final site plan and
architectural design is subject to the review and approval of the Redevelopment
Agency.' With the exception of the specific items noted in the draft resolution
of approval, staff considers the submittal to be complete and recommends that
the Agency approve the project as presented.
The applicant proposes to construct a 5,737 square foot office building on a
10,789 square foot site located within the C-2 (Central Commercial) zoning
di stri ct.
The project site is situated on the southwest corner of E1 Camino Real and E1
.Camtno Way and is within the Town Center Redevelopment Project Area. The Town
Center Redevelopment Plan gives Design Review authority to the Redevelopment
Agency for proposed developments within the Project Area.
o
The site is presently developed with a 1,744 square foot chiropractic office and
is in fair condition. Surrouhding uses include a motel to the south and retail
commercial uses to the north, east and west.
?
This item does not require a public hearing; therefore, no formal notification
was transmitted. The. applicant and architect were forwarded a copy of the
meeting's agenda and staff report for this item.
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the project and identified certain issues and highlights of
the project which are discussed below'
®
Zonl..n~ Requir_ements - Submitted development plans proposed demolition of
the existing structures' and construction of a 5,737 square foot
professional office building. The proposed project is in conformance with
all applicable development standards and code requirements. On April 24,
1989, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2591 to approve a
Conditional Use Permit to authorize over 50% office use within the C-2
(Central Commercial) zoning district pursuant to City Code Section 9233(e).
2. Traffic and Circulation - Presently, the site has two access points, one
f~om 'El Camino Rial and one from E1 Camino Way. Submitted plans propose
removal of the driveway on E1 Camino Real restricting access to an existing
28 foot wide drive approach on E1 Camino Way in order to help reduce
vehicular conflicts with ingress/egress on E1 Camino Real. The Public
Works Department has indicated the existing street system is adequate to
accommodate the anticipated development in that professional office uses
typical ly generate fewer vehicle trips per day than retai 1

commercial uses and the street system is designed to accommodate retail
commercial uses.
.
Architecture - As previously mentioned, the project tncludes a complete
rebuJld of the stte. The proposed architecture tncludes 'a two-story
structure wlth parking on the flrst floor and offtce space on the second
floor. The proposed architectural treatment reflects a spanlsh flavor wtth
one and two story elements, stairwell towers, pitch roof elements, and
balconies. Details Include window moldings, stucco bands, pot shelves, and
multt-paned wtndows and doors. Architectural detatl ts provlded on all
elevations. The blank wall surface on the south elevation will
predominately be screened from view by the existlng motel buildlng on the
adjacent property. Overall, the project design appears appropriate for the
area and is compatible with other projects in the Town Center Redevelopment
Pro ject Area.
4. LandscaPing - The stte presently includes severa] mature pine trees in
addition to varlous shrubs and ground covers. Submitted plans propose
removal of all existing landscaping; new landscaping consistlng of palm and
sycamore trees wtll be provided. The landscaping concept Identifies a wide
use of shrubs,' turf, and ground covers. The proposed landscaping theme is
stmtlar to the more recent p4~ojects ~in the Town Center Redevelopment
Pro ject Area.
CONCLUS]~ON
Staff has reviewed the issues associated with the project and has determined
that the proposed development, as approved by the Planning Commission, is in
conformance wtth City requirements and is an appropriate use for the
neighborhood. Staff recommends that the .Redevelopment Agency certify the
Negative Declar~tlon by adoptlon of .Resolution No. RDA 89-13 and approve Deslgn
Revtew 88-56 by adoption of Resolution RDA No. 89-14, subject to the conditions
contained In Exhibit A of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2591.

PROJECT DESCRIP9'[ON SUPPLEMENT - The proposed project is a
request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow over 50% office use
in the C-2 (Central Commercial.) District to accommodate a 5,737
square r'oot office building and' to reduce the required parking
from '26 to 24 spaces to'accomm0~ate 1,675 square feet of medical
space Within the proposed building, as the project is not parked
at medical office ratios. Yhe property is located at 705 E1
Camino Way.
.
·
The 10,789 square foot site is presently developed with a 1,7%%
square foot chiropractic office. The proposed project includes a
complete demolition and rebuild of the sire.
The project site ~s situated in an urban area at the southern edge
of the City's To%{~ Center Redevelopment Agency Project Area with
development adjacunt on all sides, consisting of a motel located
to the south a~%d retail'con~ercial uses to the east, west and
north.
EARTH - The p]-.uposed project could result in changes to the
existing earth conditions of the site since the site will be
demolished and completely rebuilt along with minor grading and
compaction for i~:ew foundations. Appropriate soils reports and
grading plans 'will be required as part of the City's design review
and permit process £'or all improvements (source: Building
Division].
MitigatioB/~knitoring - Prior to the issuance of any building
permlts, an erosion coWtrol pla~ will need to be prepared and
approved by the Community Development Department. The
Conununity Developmenc Department is responsible plan checking
and field inspection for compliance with this requirement.
AIR - This proj=ct would not result in any degradation to the
existing air quality based on review of AQMD standards for
preparing EIR documents.
WATER - The propol;ed project would not result in any change to the
existing water c~nditions based on a review of the site by City
s~aff. T~e site ~s presently developed with adequate drainage and
impervious sur£~.ces; however, existing drainage and structures
will be removed and new drainage and impervious structures
created. Proposed drainage will be reviewed as part of the
grading plan rev~.w to ensure adequate drainage. The project site
is not located in proximity to any rivers, streams, or' other
bodies of water (source: Field Observation and Building
Division).
PLANT L%FE..- The.existing site presently includes several mature
pine trees and other landscaping. The proposed plans include the
removal of all existing landscaping and the addition of new

landscaping cons].stin~ of palm and sycamore trees, as well as
other shrubs and ground covers con, on to the area. The proposed
treatment will provide adequate landscaping on the site and
consistency with other projects located in ~he Town Center
Redevelopment Agency project area. While no mitigation is
required, all landscaping shall be installed and maintained in
accordance with the City's Landscaping and Irrigation Submittal
Requirements. ~'he Community Development Department will be
responsible forl field inspections for compliance with this
requirement (source: Community Development Department).
ANIMAL LIFE - Tile project is currently a developed property in an
urban area and free of any significant population o'f animals,
fish, or wildlife (source: Field Observations).
NOISE ~ - The ~'oposed project would not increase the existing
noise levels in the immediate area in that the site is presently
developed with a~ office building and will be replaced by an
otfice buiiding~ The proposed use as a office building would
typically generafe less noise than retail commercial uses on the
property. Local businesses may experience short term impacts
rela~ed to construction activity ~ (source: Community. Development.
Department). ·
,
Mitigat~on/~l,n~tor~.n? - Construction activity shall be
limited co tire hours of 7 a.m. through 6 p.m., Monday .through
Friday, pur;:uant to Section ~61~(2) of the Tustin City Code.
The Community Development Department is responsible for
resolving any complaints related to construction activity.
NQISE b - Given the proposed use and surrounding land uses, an
office building would not expose people to severe noise levels as
office uses are tlot typically identified as significant noise
generators (sou£ce: City Zoning Code and General Plan Noise
Element].
LIGHT AND GLA~; The proposed .project would not produce new light
or glare. The existing site presently has parking lot and
exterior lighting. While no mitigation is required, the City's
Design Review p,'ocess will ensure that any proposed lighting
modifications would be subject to review and approval by the
Community DeveldFment Department to ensure that: ~) The minimum
amount of lighting is provided in accordance with the City's
Security Code; at:d 2) That the lighting does not produce direct
light rays or iglare on adjacent properties. The Community
Development Depg~tment will be responsible ~or field inspection
for compliance with this requirement.(source: Field Observations

8. LAND USE - The ?~oposed project slte is located within the C-2
(Central Commercial) District. .The General Plan Land Use
Designation for the property is C (Commercial). The proposed use,
as an office building, is a permitted use within the C-2 zoning
district and is' in conformance with the land use designatioD;
however, since the project proposes over 50% office use, a
conditiona£ use permit is required to be approved by the Planning
Commission pursu~-~nt to Section 9233e of the Tustin City Code.
9.' NATURAL RESOURCE~ - The proposed project would riot result in any
increased use O~ natural resources given the relatively small
scale of the ~velopment and the existing conditions and
improvements on the site (source: Community Development
Department).
,
10. RIS~ OF UPSE°~ .t The proposed project would not result in any
increased risk Of upset to the property or the neighborhood.
New construction will require compliance with all applicable
building and filc codes to significantly reduce the potential for
fire or upset. ~ The site is not located within any seismicly
sensitive areas {source: Community Development Department,
Building Divisio~, Fire Department, and City General Plan).
~QPULATION_- The ~roposed project would not result in any increase
in population i.~ that no additional · dwelling units would be
created with this development. Office uses of this scale
typically service the existing pop~lation~and businesses of the
area {source: Housing and Land Use. Elements of the General
Plan).
12 ~oUSING - The f, roposed project would not create a need for
additional housin given the scale and type of development. The
proposal will not displace any existing housing (source:
Community Developn%ent Department).
13. T~NS~O~TATION ;~|D CIRCULATION a. c~ d. e. and f - The proposed
project would ~ot have a significant impact on the existing
circulation and street system and movement of goods and services,
as the project would generate less vehicular trips per day than
retail commercial uses' The existing street system is adequate to
acconm~odace the anticipated traffic. In addition, the existing
driveway apProac~ on El Camino Real will be eliminated in eCforts
to ~urther red~.ce vehicular conflicts alohg E1 Camino Real.
Access to this property will be through one driveway approach on
E1 Camino Way (sn~.rce: City Traffic Engineer).
TRANSPORTATION AN'..CIRCULATION b - The proposed project includes a
variance request to reduce the required parking from 26 spaces to
24 spaces to accon~odate a 1,675 square foot chiropractic office

within the 5,737 square foot building. The project is not parked
at the 6/1000 meqical use parking requirements of the Tustin City
Code. The reduction of required parking could have an impact on
existing parking facilities in that the existing "downtown" area
presently experiences a parking shortage. Due to the project's.
location, the availabilfty of on-street parking is . largely non-
existent and by ~ude can not be considered as satisfying minimum
parking requiremel~t.
M~tigat~on/~.i,*.nitoring - In order to avoid further parking
impacts toithe "downtown" area, the project would need to
satisfy the mi~J. mum parking requirements on-site as required
by the TuStin City Code. fn the event that the Planning
Commission should entertain approval*of a variance from those
minimum requirements~ the applicant should be required to
enter into.an or*~-site parking agreement with the adjacent
property owners to provide the deficient parking or 'further
detailed parking studies would be required to be prepared by
a Traffic En.$ineer for consideration.
14. PUBLIC .S~RVIC~S - The proposed project would not result in any
change to existing public services or create a need for new public
services. All services are in place and are adequate to serve the
site and develcFment (source: Fire and Police Departments,
Community Deveiol..~ment Department, and Public Works Department).
15. ENERGY - The proi',osed project would not result in any significant
increase in the use of energy given the scale and type of
development (source: Public Works Department).
16. UTILITIES - The proposed project would not result in a need for
additional utilities in that utility service is currently
available to the .cite (source: Public Works Department).
17. HUMAN HEALTH - The proposed project would not result in any
e~fects to human health, as office land uses typically do not
create conditions which negatively effect human health. An office
project in this!area would not expose persons to health hazards
given the surrounding uses and location outside of a 100-year
flood area (source: Flood Insurance Rate Map, Police Department,
and Community Dev.:.lopment Department).
AESTHETICS - The proposed project could have a significant impact '
co the aesthetiCs in the area. Special care has been taken as
part of the Desi.~n Review process to ensure a quality development
given its location within the Town Center Redevelopment Project
Area. The project would greatly improve the aesthetics of this
property and neighborhood given the existing.conditions of the
site (source: Conm]unity Development Department).

M~tiqatioD/[~onitoring - The Redevelopment Agency shall review
and approve all development plans in accordance with the
City's Design Review process to ensure a quality development
consistent ~[th the Town Center Redevelopment Plan.
19. RECREATION - The proposed project would not result in an increased
need for recreat'ional opportunities. Office uses typically do not
demand extensive recreational amenities of the community as do
residential uses (source: Con, unity Development Department and
Land Use Element;.
20. CULTURAL R~SOURCES - The proposed project would not have any
effect on cultural resources in that the General Plan and the
Historic Resources Survey do not identify any cultural resources
on this property (source: City General Plan and Historic Resources
Survey).
21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE - Potential impacts related to
earth and water conditions, plant life, noise, light and glare,
traffic and circulation, and aesthetics have been identified as a
result of this p£oject. The project, as deskgned, conditioned,
and mitigated as discussed, has reduced these potential impacts to
a level of insi~nificance and will. not result in any adverse
environmental 'impacts (source: Community Development
Department).
