RECOMMENDATION: Have second reading by title only and adoption of Ordinance No. 1278 (roll call vote). BACKGROUND: On July 7, 2003, the City Council had first reading by title only and introduction of the following Ordinance No. 1278: ORDINANCE NO. 1278 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTIONS V(I), SUBSECTION 14, AND SECTION VI(C), SUBSECTIONS 4 AND 5 TO THE IRVINE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS, ESTABLISHING OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) STORAGE AS A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE, AND ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND A DEFINITION ~uiz~r, CSf D~ep~Ci'~ty Clerk ATTACHMENT: Ordinance No. 1278 ORDINANCE NO. 1278 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION III AND SUBSECTION C OF SECTION VI OF, AND ADDING PARAGRAPH 4 TO SUBSECTION I OF SECTION V OF, THE IRVINE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS ORDINANCE, ESTABLISHING OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) STORAGE AS A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE The City Council of the City of Tustin ordains as follows: Section 1. The City Council finds and determines as follows: Ao An amendment to Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community District Regulations related to outdoor recreational vehicle storage has been prepared to conditionally permit the use in the district, and to establish development standards and a definition for recreational vehicles. B, A Negative Declaration has been prepared in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), was available for review by the public from May 29, 2003 through June 18, 2003, and adopted by Resolution No. 03-89 by the City Council. C, The proposed amendment is reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Tustin. Do The proposed zone change to conditionally permit outdoor storage of recreational vehicles is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that the site is located within a Planned Community Commercial/Business land use designation. This land use designation provides for a mixture of uses and activities such as warehousing, distribution, research and development, commercial, and office uses. E, Outdoor recreational vehicle storage, if adequately regulated, is appropriate within the context of the industrial character of the Irvine Industrial Complex. Fo As shown in the Negative Declaration prepared for Zone Change 03-004 (Exhibit A of Resolution No. 03-89), adding outdoor recreational vehicle storage to the Irvine Industrial Complex as a conditionally permitted use would not result in any significant or potentially significant impacts. Individual outdoor recreational vehicle storage facilities can have potentially Ordinance No. 1278 Page 1 of 4 negative impacts on aesthetics, parking, traffic, water quality, and land use, if not adequately regulated. As a conditionally permitted use, the impacts of each outdoor recreational vehicle storage facility would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Planning Commission to ensure compatibility. In addition, the proposed development standards will limit the area in which these types of uses may locate, will ensure sufficient screening, and prohibit undesirable accessory uses such as servicing or habitation by specifying that outdoor recreational vehicle storage must be accessory to a primary self-storage facility, must be located on the rear half of a lot, must not cover more than twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area, must be screened on all sides, not encroach into required parking spaces or landscape areas, not obstruct access to any door, window, or other entrance to, or exit from, a building, not involve servicing or maintenance of recreational vehicles, not involve septic dumping, and not involve habitation of recreational vehicles. Section 2. Section III of the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community District Regulations Ordinance is amended by adding the following definition to read: Recreational Vehicle (RV) A motor home, travel trailer, truck camper, or camping trailer, with or without motive power, designed for human habitation for recreational, emergency, or other occupancy, that meets all of the following criteria: a.
