than government sources. Contributions ranged from a substantial

Tustin resident and all donors would be acknowledged for their
support and overwhelming generosity at the dedication ceremonies
to be held July 28, 1989.

4. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 89-02(A): 1989 REVISIONS TO THE HOUSING
ELEMENT
Laura Kuhn, Senior Planner, reported that the 1989 revisions
constituted changes to the 1984 Housing Element in order to
update statistical information and provide current data as a
result of recent changes in State law. The revisions also
addressed the Regional Housing Needs Assessment figures provided
by Southern California As~0ciation of Governments.
Councilman Kelly questioned why the letter to the City Manager
from the Department of Housing and Community Development dated
May 31, 1989, was copied to Irwin Schatzman of the Carma-Sandling
Group.
William Huston, City Manager, responded that the information was
a matter of public record and anyone could request to be included
on the mailing list. He noted that the State Housing agency had
historically been very aggressive on housing policy and, with
discussions at the State level concerning growth and traffic
management, this was an excellent opportunity for housing
advocates to argue that cities should have more intense
development in order to obtain housing closer to employment
centers.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar commented on the quandary created between
addressing the housing programs in the community and the desires
of the State. He said it was a difficult task and commended
staff for their efforts.
A brief discussion between Mayor Kennedy and staff followed
regarding military base housing and its effect upon the City's
low-moderate housing count.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. There were
no speakers on the subject and the Public Hearing was closed.

5. APPEAL OF AMENDMENT TO USE PERMIT 88-8 (17602 E. SEVENTEENTH
STREET, SUITE 105)
Steve Rubin, Senior Planner, gave a background report on the
development of an office/retail center on Seventeenth Street
which allowed for 50% retail space and 50% office space. He
noted the following reasons for the Planning Commission's denial
of a request to amend the original Use Permit allowing the
installation of a 1,000 square foot dental office in the retail
portion of the project: original conditions of approval
specifically prohibited medical/dental use, dental office space
would cause allowable' amount of office space to be exceeded,
incompatibility of office use within retail area, preservation
of potential sales tax revenue, inconsistent signage and, the
major concern, inadequate parking.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:50 p.m.
The following members of the community spoke in opposition to
denying the subject appeal:
Don Carter, D.D.S. (applicant)
Terry Tvrs, representing Colco Prospect
There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public
Hearing was closed at 7:55 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar expressed his concern regarding the parking
insufficiency. He did not want to create a short-term acceptable
solution and questioned if the applicant could be permanently
constrained to the 4 parking spaces for 1,000 square feet.
Mayor Kennedy commented that one of the duties of the City
Council was to protect tax sources in order to provide services
to the citizens and the 50% retail policy was established for
that reason. She said for the economic protection of the City
and for orderly, well-planned development within the community
she did not believe this case deserved special findings. She
encouraged the doctor tb'-establish his practice in Tustin by
waiting until a'tenant vacated or locate space within a medical/
professional center.
Councilman Kelly did not believe government acted prudently when
it attempted to dictate to developers what the best use of their
property would be.
It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Prescott, to overrule the
Planning Commission,s denial of the requested amendment to Use
Permit 88-8 (Resolution No. 2598).
Councilman Prescott noted there were other shopping centers in
the community with optician/dental offices that did not cause
parking problems. He felt the only viable argument was the
diminishment of the sales tax base but he was not that greedy for
tax dollars to deny dental care to citizens.
Councilman Hoesterey was concerned with setting a precedent for
additional medical offices in the center. When shopping centers
were planned they are developed under a set of criteria
established to not only preserve revenue but eliminate excessive
parking problems that also effect the surrounding neighborhoods.
He said perhaps a compromise could be reached if other medical
facilities were prohibited and he expressed concern regarding
such a selection process.
Mayor Kennedy questioned staff if there was a way to impose
limitations.
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development,
suggested, should the City Council wish to accommodate the
dentist's request, that there be conditions lifting the
restriction on medical uses to a provision of only a 1,000 square
foot tenancy with parking restrictions. Staff would prepare a
Resolution with such conditions and submit to the City Council
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6, 6-19-89
for action. She asked that the record reflect her certainty that
variance applications would be received on future retail u~es as
a result of that action.
Council/staff discussion followed concerning precedent setting
action and parking space standards/restrictions.
As a
Hoesterey, to adopt the following Resolution No. 89-77 denying
the subject appeal:
RESOLUTION NO. 89-77 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, DENYING THE APPEAL OF AN AMENDMENT
TO USE PERMIT 88-8, REQUESTING TO AMEND CONDITIONS 1.4 AND 1.8
OF EXHIBIT "A" TO PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2494, TO
AUTHORIZE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DENTIST'S OFFICE WITHIN A RETAIL
TENANT SPACE IN A COMMERCIAL CENTER
The substitute motion failed 2-3 Edgar, Kelly and Prescott
opposed. '
As a second substitute motion it was moved b Ed ar seconded
by Prescott, that staff submit for Council action a Resolution
outlining restrictive parking requirements for a 1,000 square
foot tenancy (Amendment to Use Permit 88-8).
The second substitute motion carried 4-1, Kennedy opposed.
6. RECOVERY OF CITY INCURRED COSTS OF ABATEMENT OF A PUBLIC NUISANCE
LOCATED AT 170 EL CAMINO REAL
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, stated
the Public Hearing was for the purpose of assessing charges to
the property owner for work completed to alleviate a code
enforcement problem at subject property. She noted there would
be a continuing enforcement problem with maintenance of the
property and requested City Council direction for alternative
mechanisms of future abatement.
Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 8:20 p.m. There were
no speakers on the subject and the Public Hearing was closed..
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to access the charges
of four thousand three hundred and fifty eight dollars and fifty
three cents ($4,358.53) against the property as a special
assessment and lien.
The motion carried 5-0.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kelly, to instruct staff to
initiate abatement proceedings to demolish the house at 170 E1
Camino Real as a substandard structure.
Mayor Kennedy felt it was only appropriate to discuss in general
the options available to the Council for health and safety
protection of the public. With the strong stand the Council had
taken on private property rights, she wanted to proceed slowly
with a process resulting in the demolition of personal property.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar stated when a property owner, over a period
of years, showed complete disregard for health and safety, they
relinquished their private property rights for the betterment
of the community and the lengthy legal process would give the
property owner ample opportunity to rectify the problem.
Councilman Kelly said it would take a strong imagination to think
of the property as someone's home, it had minimal property value,
and he did not view the proposed action as an invasion of private
property rights.
Councilman Hoesterey stated the legal process would take
approximately 3-4 years before final action could be completed
giving the property owner sufficient time to take corrective
measures. The Council was caught in a dilemma because if a child

was injured due to substandard property, the public would
ascertain that the Council did not act quickly enough and, if the
property was demolished, others would judge the Council acted too
quickly and ignored personal property rights. He believed the
best method was to direct the City Attorney to proceed with the
legal process.
Councilman Prescott wanted the matter resolved in the courts
through litigation instead of using the force of demolition. The
City had the right to sue the landowner and compel them to
correct the problem instead of the City correcting the problem
for the property owner.
As a substitute motion, it was moved by Prescott, seconded by
Kennedy, to direct the City Attorney to proceed with litigation
action forcing the landowner to be responsible for property
improvements meeting public health, safety and zoning standards.
Council/City Attorney discussion followed clarifying the various
legal options available to the City Council.
Council concurred to withdraw all previous motions.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Prescott, to direct staff to
initiate court proceedings to obtain a judgement forcing the
property owner to renovate the structure and property.
The motion carried 5-0.
PUBLIC INPUT
1. EXTENSION OF LIBRARY HOURS
Mark Bachan, 215 S. Prospect #B10, Tustin, requested a letter
from the City Council be forwarded to the County Librarian
supporting extension of library evening hours.
Council concurred to fo_rward a letter supporting his request.
REPORTS (AGENDA ORDER)
5. ASSAULT ON CITY MAINTENANCE WORKERS
Council concurred that this item be taken out of agenda order
to accommodate the speaker.
Michael David, 445-1/2 Sixth Street, Tustin, expressed concern
regarding an incident of violence following the Chili Cook-Off
on June 4, 1989, and requested that the annual event be
terminated or relocated.
It was ,moved by Kelly, seconded by Edgar, to receive and file
subject report.
Councilman Prescott did not want the report to be interpreted as
placing blame for the violence on The Swinging Door bar. He
believed the incident occurred as a result of the Chili Cook-Off
and access to alcoholic beverages.
Lillian Williams, owner of The Swinging Door, reported the
Police Department had continually monitored the bar during the
Chili Cook-Off, she had security on the premises, she did not
allow the sale of hard liquor after the Chili Cook-Off began and
the incident of violence did not involve The Swinging Door.
Councilman Kelly was sympathetic toward The Swinging Door but
reiterated that the Chili Cook-Off on E1 Camino Real contributed
to the lawless atmosphere. The street was strewn with trash and
he had seen photographs that would be used when determining the
location of next year's Chili Cook-Off.
Mayor Kennedy verified with staff that the Chili Cook-Off ended
at approximately 4:30 p.m. and the altercation occurred at 5:30
p.m. She felt that the only relationship between the Chili Cook
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 8, 6-19-89
VII.
Off and the altercation was the shared location on E1 Camino
Real.
Councilman Hoesterey thought the way the report was interpreted
related directly to whether or not a person was in favor of the
Chili Cook-Off prior to the event. The subject incident was two
individuals involved in an assault and it was now a police/court
matter.
Fred Wakefield, Acting Chief of Police, reported details of the
assault and the police investigation. He stated it could not be
determined that the assault occurred because of the Chili Cook-
Off or The Swinging Door and excellent cooperation had been
received from The Swinging Door ownership during the Chili Cook-
Off. He noted that the Police Department would appreciate having
access to any photographs that had been taken.
The motion carried. 5-0.

Mayor Kennedy noted the City Council had fought the FAA, the
Orange County Board of Supervisors, and any body deemed acting
improperly on behalf of residents and business.
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar was unwilling to defer any decision of an
airport location to any agency other than the City Council.
Councilman Hoesterey noted there was a faction in Newport Beach
eliminating all sites except E1 Toro to minimize the impact of
John Wayne Airport overflights. CRAS had been established to
address alternate airport sites, but E1 Toro was not a viable
solution to the City Council.
The motion carried 4-1, Kelly opposed.
2. 20-YEAR MASTER PLAN OF TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
Mayor Pro Tem Edgar highlighted the serious transportation
problems existing in Orange County and State and Federal funding
was inadequate to meet those needs. He felt it was appropriate
to place the Orange County Traffic Improvement and Growth
Management Plan on the ballot.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt the
following:
RESOLUTION NO. 89-95 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE ORANGE COUNTY TRAFFIC
IMPROVEMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF PLACING
THE PLAN BEFORE THE VOTERS OF ORANGE COUNTY
The following members of the community spoke in opposition to
diamond lanes:
Carole Bryant, 15500 Tustin Village Way, Tustin
Larry Koenig
Councilman Prescott stated he had been active last year in
supporting Doris Allen's ~nitiative which would have required all
gasoline sales tax be used for funding roads. His opposition to
the Plan included the following: he would never vote for tax
increases, subsidizing railways between Riverside County and
Irvine and the deviousness of placing the Plan on a special
election ballot in November.
Councilman Hoesterey supported the Resolution, not necessarily
the Plan, because the Resolution stated the issue would go to a
vote of the people and for it not to be placed on the ballot was
wrong, the voters should decide. In reference to the special
election, in most of the off-year elections, the "no" vote
carries more weight than the "yes" vote because the opposition
usually gathers more support. He suggested that the extensive
funds used for the public relations element of the OCTD be
diverted to transportation use.
Councilman Kelly was concerned about the process involved to
decrease taxes but unfortunately State politicians had the
ability to propose desired tax increases. He was bothered by the
Plan and did not want the taxpayers to bear the expense of
placing it on the ballot.
The motion carried 3-2, Kelly and Prescott opposed.
3. POLES/STANDARDS FOR BANNER DISPLAYS
James Rourke, City Attorney, reported that the City can allow
such public event banners on its poles and standards while
prohibiting commercial banners.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Prescott, to direct staff to
submit for Council action a list of alternative sites on First
Street, I'rvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue with the inclusion
of prioritized locations.
The motion carried 5-0.
