BACKGROUND:
On July 1, 1987 the City Council extended the moratorium on approval of
development projects on properties located on the east side of Newport Avenue
between San Juan and Main Street and on the east side of 'B' Street between
Mitchell Street and the I-5 freeway. This extension was granted in response to
the requirements of the California Governmental Code in order to complete a
zoning study initiated by the original interim moratorium adopted on April 20,
1987.

On July 27, 1987 the Planning Commission acted upon the proposed rezoning
project for these moratorium areas after discussing the issues during a workshop
session on June 29, 1987. All the proceeding staff reports for the moratorium
and Planning Commission actions, are attached to this report for further
information.
SL#dlARY AND ANALYS]$:
The results of the zoning study concluded in a recommendation to rezone both
project areas (see attached exhibits to Ordinance Numbers 989 and 990) to
Planned Community Commercial. The zoning designation would allow similar uses
as authorized in the current zoning on the properties except a portion of the
southerly project area which would be rezoned from R-3: Multiple Family
Residential to Planned Community Commercial. Staff is also recommending that
this southerly project area be redestgnated PC-C Planned Community Commercial on
the General Plan Land Use Map prior to any action on the Zoning Ordinance
Amendment for this area in accordance with state law.
The PC-C zoning designation will require approval of a Conditional Use Permit
prior to development of the properties in the study areas. Under the
Conditional Use Permit process, an adopted development plan would become the
development standards for the property as opposed to development standards
codified with conventional zoning districts. The PC-C district has been an
extremely successful revitalization tool particularly in projects such as Tustin
Plaza.
In conjunction with the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment the Planning
Commission also adopted guidelines for approving development plans for Planned
Community Commercial (PC-C) properties. These guidelines required that issues
such as access, traffic impacts, visabiltty and land use for any project in the
the PC-C zone be addressed in reviewing a Conditional Use Permit and development
plan application.
CONCLUSION:
Approval of the proposed project wtll encourage comprehensive development of the
properties in the study areas. Special emphasis can be placed on issues such as
access, vtsabtllty, land use and traffic impacts. The Zoning Ordinance
amendments would require that future development in the study areas be subject

BACICGROUtiO:
On ~une 29, lg87 the Planntng Commission held a publlc workshop to dtscuss
proposed Zone Change 87-1~ 87-2 and General Plan Amendment 87-t. Staff
presented a report containing Information on the events whtch led up to the
Initiation of the project and a proposed course of actton. The June 29th staff
report ts attached for all related background Information.
At the workshop, Rt. Robert Latrd of Cerrttos expressed concern over the
proposed [-5 Freeway wtdentng and how. ~t would affect hts property. Recent
freeway wtdenlng data was obtatned from the Los Angeles Caltrans off~ce and ts
l. attached to thts report as Exhtbtt I. Additional conversations ~tth Clarence

Page 'cwo
O'Hara of Caltrans 'on .July 8th would indicate that Caltrans may be suggesting
design changes alongI the stretch of freeway widening adjacen~ to Mr. Latrd's
propertlf~ Those changes would not ltkeQy result i~ the need for additional
right-of-way but could eliminate the Newport Avenue ramp and widening for the
ramp ~tself.
All other verbal and written comments on the proposed Zone Change 87-1 and 87-2
supported rezontng as proposed. Since completion of the staff-report and
publication of public heaping notice on this-matter, no further inquiry has been
made opposing the proposed Zone Changes and General Plan Amendment project.
ANALYSIS:
Both project areas involve rezontng to PC-C (Planned Community Commercial)
DistriCt. The PC-C District requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit and
development plan by the Planning Commission prior to any new development. In
most cases, development plans include comprehensive strategies for improvement
of properties in the PC-C District.
In order to emphasize the concerns of access and visibility, staff is also
recommending adoption of Guidelines to be used in reviewing Conditional Use
Permit applications and for development plans in the PC-C Otstrl~t: These
guidelines will require consideration of access, visibility and land use issues
prior to approval of a Conditional Use Permit adopting of any development plan.
Therefore, ensuring proper consideration of surrounding properties prior to
development.
As mentioned in the attached staff report, rezoning of the area south of the I-S
Freeway will also require a General Plan Amendment which redesignates the land
use from HF (Hulti Fandly) and C (Commercial) to the PC (Planned
Community) District. This amendment will ensure conformance be~een the Zoning
Hap and General Plan Hap as required by state law. The properties at Newport
Avenue and Hain Street are already designated for commercial land use on the
General Pl~fl Hap. :
CONCLUSION:
Through the implementation of Zone Change 87-I, 8?-2, General Plan Amendmen~
87-1 and- the Development Plan Guidelines, staff can facilitate mere
comprehensive, cohesive development of the properties involved. Should this
project be adopted, all future development of parcels will require prior
approval of the Planning Commission by issuance of a Use Permit. This Use
Permit process will 'also require adoption of a development plan for any PC-C
zoned properties.

COMMENTS FOR INITIAL STUDY '
'GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTNO. 87-1 AND ZONE CHANGE 87-2
In discussing the envlronmenta~ impacts of the proposed projects, all comments on
the initial study ques:ions were answered "NO" except for Section No. 8 regarding
.Land Use. The project is proposed to chanse the Land Use and Zoning designations on
the Zoning and General Plan maps to Planned ~ommuniCy Commercial. Although a change
in the actual land use will not immediately occur with this proJec:,~ it will make it
possible for t-he land use to be change to commercial at some point in the future.
The General Plmn and Zone Change project will not have any environmental impacts until
the properties are developed in accordance with the General Plan and Zone Change being
proposed. At the time a project is being proposed for development, the environmental
impacts of the development will be assessed at that time. This will include an initial
study an4 follow-up environmental documents as necessary for the project proposed.
In addition, a majority of the parcels considered in this project are already zoned used
and designated in the General Plan for commercial use. This creates a situation whereby
environmental impacts are expected to occur unless an expansion or introduction of
. new land use occurs in the future. These impacts will be considered at the time that
a project is proposed.
The change from a residential to commercial land use and zoning designation would allow
the existing residential apartments to continue their current use without complication.
The apartments on the residential property will become existing, non-conforming land
uses and will be allowed to continue until over 50~ of the value of the structures needs
to be replaced or if the use on the property is vacated for a period over six months in
duration. Should either of these instances occur, the use on the property will have to
be brought into a commercial use which conforms to the zoning.
In terms of a future project and its impacts, the traffic, land use and architectural com-
patibility issues will be addressed by the zoning requirements. Any proposed project for
the area must be approved through a Conditional ~se Permit. This will require approval by
the Planning Commission in a public hearing format. This will require notification of the
surrounding property owners and they will be notified for their comment. Any possible
i-mDact of a future development project would be identified and discussed for mitigation
that time.
It is difficult to assess future environmental impact without a specific development plan,
however, a seperate environmental assessment will be made at the time the project is pro-
~ed. The zoning and general plan change will require lot consolidation and reduction
traffic, accessibility and visual impacts of any proposed project. Therefore, any
future impacts and the requirements ~o reduce any future traffic, visibility and architec~-
ural compatibility problems will be handeled at the time that a project is processed.
