i ·
Certify the Final Negative Declaration for the project, as
adequate by adoption of Resolution No. 89-162.
·
M. O.: Waive further reading and have first reading of

BACKGROUND
At their regular meeting on October 23, 1989, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 2690, recommending approval to
the City Council of Zoning Code Amendment 89-01 and Resolution No.
2691 conditionally approving Use Permit 89-35, a proposal to allow
an automotive service and repair business at 14401 Franklin Avenue.
The applicant is requesting amendment of Section VI.C of the
Planned Community Industrial District for the Irvine Industrial
Complex to add automotive service and repair as a conditionally
permitted use.
The applicant's current operation is located at f122 E1 Camino'Real
and is scheduled to be utilized by Cal Trans for improvements to
the Interstate 5 freeway. Cal Trans has scheduled the building to
be abandoned by November 8, 1989. Staff has worked with the
applicant to facilitate review by both the Planning Commission and
the City Council. The applicant proposes to locate its operation
(Volvotech) at 14401 Franklin Avenue. Since "Automotive Service
and Repair" is not a permitted use in the Planned Community
Industrial District for the Irvine Industrial Complex, a change in
existing district standards was needed. As previously mentioned,
the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 89-35 subject to City
Council approval of the Zoning Code City Council Report.

A public hearing notice enoting the proposals, location, and time
of the hearing was pub~ ~shed in the Tustin News. In addition,
property owners within 300 feet of the subject property were
notified of the hearin' by mail pursuant to State law. The
applicant, architect, ar [ property owner were forwarded a copy of
the meeting's agenda an~ staff report for this item.
ANALYSIS
Zoning Code Amendment
Currently, there are no rovisions in the development criteria for
the Irvine Industrial ( )mplex to permit automotive service and
repair. Under the pe mitted use section of the development
criteria "automotive rep ir" is specifically excluded as a service
industry. Therefore, ~ ~ interpretative decision as to whether
automotive repair is a ~ rmitted use, by right, could not be made.
The zoning code amendme t, if approved, wohid amend section VI.C
(permitted uses subject to conditional use permit) by adding the
following:
10. "Automotive service an~ repair, not to include automotive body
and paint establis ~ments and operations, provided the use
occupies an entire )uilding or developable lot or parcel."
The Irvine Industrial :omplex contains a number of uses and
services. While automot ve repair can be seen as a less intensive
use in this zone, some f its operational characteristics have
potential to be offensi~. ~ in certain situations. As is evidenced
by existing automotive ervice establishments, automotive repair
needs are often spontane us and tend to create a continuous ingress
and egress of automobi es to and from the establishment. In
addition, inoperable ve .icles, service performed outside of the
building, and noise, are ~11 potential problems usually encountered
by such a use.
Under the present City ~ oning Code, automotive repair is allowed
as a conditionally perm: tted use in the C-1 (retail Commercial),
C-2 (Central Commercial) an C-G (Commercial-General) districts.
The use is not permitted in amy industrial zone in the City. This
is, possibly, due to the risibility usually required for automotive
businesses to sustain tk~ir operations. Industrial zones are not
usually located along ma or arterials in the City and therefore do
not provide the incent ve for automobile repair businesses to
locate within them.
Communi y Development Department
Ci.ty Council Report
Zoning Code Amendment 89-01
November 6, 1989
Page three
The specific language proposed in the requested amendment addresses
concerns of both the Irvine Company and staff. Since many existing
sites in the Irvine Industrial Complex contain large single tenant
developments, there was a concern about the potential for existing
businesses to section off a portion of their buildings for "mini
tenant" uses, since automotive uses have some environmental
concerns, there was a desire to protect the integrity of other
types of uses. By adding the requirement that automotive uses
occupy an entire building or developable lot or parcel, the City
will be assured that individual automotive tenants will have to be
concentrated and be able to locate on the same site as non-related
businesses therefore maintaining the integrity of the individual
non-automotive tenants. Because of the environmental problems
associated with automotive body and paint establishments this type
of automotive service and repair has also been specifically
excluded from the amendment.
By providing automotive service and.rePair as a conditionally
permitted use, such establishments that desire an industrial park
type of setting can be given an opportunity to be considered on a
case by case basis while not locking the City into requiring such
use as an· outright permitted use. The conditional use permit
process also enables staff to address all issues of each individual'
establishment in order to determine if the use is appropriate for
a specific location.
CONCLUSION
The Planning Commission reviewed the issues associated with the
proposed project and determined that the Zoning Code Amendment is
in general conformance with the goals and objectives of the Irvine
Industrial Complex, and therefore has recommended that the City
Council approve Zoning Code Amendment 89-01 as identified in
attached Ordinanc~o. 1035.

BACKGROUND
On February 4, 1974 the City Council adopted Ordinance 611 which rezoned the
subject property as well as surrounding properties from Planned Community
Residential to Planned Community Industrial and adopted the Irvine Industrial
Complex, Planned Community District Regulations which govern permitted and
conditionally permitted uses as well as development standards.
On June 2, 1980 the City CounCil approved an amendment to Ordinance 611 to
provide for "Neighborhood Commercial" uses subject to the location of such
structures gaining approval of a conditional use permit. Since this amendment,
no other amendments have been applied.
The applicant is requesting to amend SeCtion VI.C of the Planned Community
Industrial District for the Irvine Industrial Complex to add automotive service
and repair as a conditionally permitted use. In the event the amendment is
recommended to the City Council, the applicant further requests approval of a
conditional use permit to allow his automotive service (Volvotech} to locate in
the Irvine Industrial Complex at 14401 Franklin Avenue. The original
~pp!ication included a request for a variance to reduce the number of required
Parking spaces from'54 spaces to 32 spaces. T~'is aspect of the project has been
resolved and a variance is no longer required and therefore has been withdrawn.
The applicant's current operation is located at 1122 E1 Camino Real and is
scheduled to be utilized by Ca'l Trans for improvements to the Interstate 5
freeway. Cal Trans has scheduled the building to be abandoned by November 8,
1989.
The subject site is approximately 1.1 acres in size and located on Franklin
Avenue midway between Chambers Road and Michelle Drive. The site is fully
developed with a 24,000 square foot building and parking for 41 parking spaces
(33 compact spaces, seven regular spaces, and one handicapped space) as
currently striped. The building was previously utilized by Pacific Telephone
for executive parking. Surrounding uses include L.H. Research and Cal Tech
Cabinets to the east, a vacant bu-ilding to the sou,th, a vacant building to the
west, and vacant property to the north.
A .public hearing notice denoting the proposals, location, and time of the
hearing was published in the Tustin News. In addition, property owners within
300 feet of the subject property were notified of the hearing by mail pursuant
to State law. The applicant, architect, and property owner were forwarded a
copy of the meeting's agenda and staff report for this item.

ANALYSIS
Zoning ~ode A.me,nment
Currently, there are no provisions in the development criteria for the Irvine
Industrial Complex to permit automotive service and repair. Under the permitted
use section of the development criteria "automotive repair" is specifically
excluded as a service industry. Therefore, an interpretative decision as to
whether automotive repair is a permitted use, by right, cou'ld not be made.
The zoning code amendment, if approved, would amend section VI.C (permitted uses
subject to conditional use permi, t) by adding the following:
10. Automotive service and repair, not to include automotive body and paint
establishments and operations, provided the use occupies an entire
bui.lding or developable lot or parcel.
The Irvine Industrial Complex contains a number of uses and services. While
automotive repair can be seen as a less 'intensive use in this zone, some of its
operational · characteristics have potential to be offensive in certain
situations. As is evidenced by existing a.utomotive service establishments,
automotive repair needs are often spontaneous .and tend to create a continuous
ingress and egress of automobiles to and from the-establishment. In addition,
inoperable vehicles, service performed outside of the building, and noise, are
all potential problems usually encountered by such a use.
Under the present City Zoning Code, automotive repair is allowed as a
conditionally permitted use in the C-1 (Retail Commercial), C-2 {Central
Co.mmercial), and C-G (Commercial-General) districts. The use is not permitted
in any industrial zone in the City. This is, possibly, due to the visibility
usually required for automotive businesses to sustain their operations.
Industrial zones are not usually located along major arterials in the City and
therefore do not provide the incentive for automobile repair businesses to
locate within them.
By providing automotive service and repair as a conditional.ly permitted use, 'it
does give opportunities for establishments that desire this type of .setting to
be considered while not locking the City into permitting such use.
Additionally, it will enable staff to address all issues of each individual
establishment in order to determine if the use is appropriate for a specific
1 ocati on.
In addition to the zoning code amendment, the Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions (CCR's) must also be addressed. Currently, no (CCR's) provisions
for automotive repair exist in the Irvine Industrial Complex. These CCR's,
unlike most, set forth uses which are permitted in the complex. While this
document is a legal instrument which has been used to control, uses in the
complex this has been an instrument used by the Association and the City is not
obligated to administer CC&R's.

The Planned Community District Regulations, as adopted by the City Council, are
the regulations which govern the use of property in the subject industrial
'complex. Whether the instrument was modified to reflect current uses has yet to
be determined, however, staff has strongly suggested that the applicant seek to
have the document reflect any changes which may be implemented by this
app 1 i cati on.
CONDITIONAL USE PEI~IIT
ii i
Should the zoning code amendment be recommended to the City Council, the
applicant has requested approval of a "conditional use permit" to permit an
automotive service and repair business (Volvotech) at 14401 Franklin Avenue.
The applicant proposes to remodel an existing 24,000 square foot industrial
building to accommodate 16,560 square feet of automobile service shops and 2,400
square feet of office space. Si.re improvements include adding two {2) roll-up
doors on the north side of the building for egress purposes only, enhancement of
the existing landscaping, and restriping of the parking spaces. Presently, the
parking configuration is in confl'ict with the Tustin Parking Standards in that
all but 8 spaces are substandard compact spaces. The code provides that a
~aximum of 20% of the spaces may be comp. act wi th- DirectOr of Com. munity
Jevelopment approval. No such approval for changes to the parking configuration
are on file. Building modifications include interior partitions for a potential
of 3 automobile service tenants. However, the applicant has conveyed that his
operation will occupy units "C" and ."D", while unit "E" would be reserved for an
additional automobile service tenant. The applicant also proposes to provide
new store fronts with awnings on all car entrances on the south side of the
bull ding.
Zoning Requirements - Because the building is existing, the development criteria
in terms of building location, configuration and setbacks have already been
satisfied. The landscaping in general is in good condition and with the
applicant's modifications, will be a welcome addition to the site in
relationship with the physical environment which currently exists. The proposed
development plans would not change any of the existing setbacks. Driveways are
allowed to encroach into setbacks per the parking and landscaping code of the
City of Tusttn. '
~-' The Irvine'Industrial Complex Development Standards do not include
parking standards for automotive service and repair. Staff, in its review of
appropriate parking standards to utilize, referred to the C-1 (retail
commercial) district. The C-1 district provides parking standards for auto
service and storage at a ratio of 1 sp. ace per 500 square feet of floor area.
'Jtilizlng the above formula, the City Code would require a minimum of 43
spaces. The required parking summary is provided below-
Auto Service: 16,560 x 1/500 : 33.12
Office: 2,400 x 1/250 = 9.60
~ of
43 total spaces

Planning Commission Repor~
Zoning Code Amendment 89-01
October 23, 1989
Page fi ve
The site, as presently striped, does not comply with the parking design layout
as specified in the City Parking and Landscaping Development Standards as the
majority of the spaces are substandard compact spaces. Proposed development
plans reflect the original parking layout from which the findings of this report
have been drawn. The applicant is aware that the spaces will have to be brought
into conformance as a condition of this application.
The site provides for a total of 32 parking spaces (1 handicapped, and 31
standard parking stalls). The applicant has reserved 12 employee parking spaces
inside the building. This results in a total of 44 parking spaces which exceeds
the amount required by an application of the City Code by one space.
In essence, the auto service parking ratios are identical to the manufacture,
research and assembly parking requirements (two spaces per 1000 square feet of
gross floor area).
Archtte~cture -Modifications to the existing architecture include new awnings
(vhich are proposed to be of a canvas material without any exterior illumination
to denote car entryways on the south side of the building. Conditions which
orohibit illumination 'and signage on the awnings have been involved in Exhibit A
of Resolution 2691 (attached). The color of the canvas awning has not been
selected to date, but will be reviewed during the design review process. This
proposes no problems to the character of the building or its surroundings.
Landscaping- The applicant proposes to provide mature palm trees along side of
the new awnings to further define entryways and provide additional character to
the building. A.total of ten (10) to twelve (12) new trees are proposed to be
added to the site. Additionally, the applicant will be .replacing dead or dying
vegetation on the site. Approximately 1,500 square feet of landscaping, which
is totally made up of sodded turf, is proposed to be removed to provide the
egress on the north side of the building.
Appropriateness of Use - Since the industrial park is removed from residential
neighborhoods, that in itself provides a buffer between incompatible uses.
Proposed plans identify hours of operation-from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, with selected hours on Saturday and the operation is closed on
Sunday. Provided that the operational standards set forth in the conditions of
approval can be satisfied and maintained, the proposed use would be an
appropriate use in this i.ndustrial area.
VARIANCE
After the official notice had been referred for publishing, staff was able to
work with the applicant to make provisions in his development for the addition
of the remaining required parking spaces on the site. The applicant provided 12
spaces inside the existing building. Since this area can not be counted in
calculation for parking because it is parking, this resulted in a net reduction
of automotive service square footage. Therefore, the applicant wishes to
withdraw the application for a variance.

CONCLUSION
iii i
The proposed improvements to the site would allow for provisions to provide
approximately 16,560 square feet of automotive service inside of a 24,000 square
foot existing building. The proposed use, as conditioned, would be compatible
with adjacent uses and comply with the Irvine Industrial Complex Regulations.
The zoning code amendment would provide-for automotive service uses to be a
conditionally permitted use within this industrial complex provided they do not
include auto body and paint operations and they occupy a entire building or
developable site. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission certify the
Final Negative Declaration for the project as adequate by adoption of Resolution
No. 2689, recommend approval of Zoning Code Amendment 89-01 to the City Council,
by adoption of Resolution No. 2690 as submitted or revised, and approve
Conditional Use Permit 89-35 by' adoption of Resolution No. 2691 as submitted or
revised.

has found that al though the proposed project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect on
it in this case because mitigation measures identified in the
Negative Declarati°n have .been incorporated into the project which
mitigate any potential significant environmental effects to a point
where clearly no significant effect would occur and are identified in

preserved and protected against encroachments of conflicting and
non-compatible land uses and automotive service and repair uses
are not incompatible with existing uses currently permit%ed in
the PC District.
·
C. That' the approval of this amendment would not permit by right
automotive service and repair uses in other industrial districts.
D. The proposed land use would not represent an incompatible land
use in the PC Industrial District or in the area surrounding the
PC Industrial District.
E®
The requirement 'to obtain a Conditional Use'Permit will provide
the ability to mitigate any potential impacts of an automotive
service and repair use in the PC Industrial District through

individually limited, but cumulatively con-
siderable? (A project may impact on two
or more separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of those
impacts on the environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

(To be completed by the Lead A§ency)
On the basi~ Of this initial evaluatiom
·
I find that the propos, project COULD NOT have a sig~ ;ant effect
on the environment, and a. NEGATIVE DECLARATION will' be prepared.
i find that although the proposed, project could have a significant effect
on the environment~ there will not be a significant effect in this case
because the mitigation measures described on'on attached sheet have
been 'added to. the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the 'environ- ----
