Chair Pro Tem Well combined the public hearings on Zone Change 86-1, Specific Plan
No. 11, Use Permit 86-26 and Tentative Tract Map No. 12833. She opened the hearings
at 8:16 p.m. for testimony from the audience. The following people spoke:
Mark Ainslie, applicant, gave background on project and explained the Zone Change and
Specific Plan would provide continuity for the entire area. This plan encourages lot
consolidation and encourages development and improvement of existing properties.
John Sauers, 515 S. Pacific, opposed the project; thought the Commission was giving
the applicant preferential treatment; and, disputed staff's traffic count.
Richard Vtntng, 400 W. Main, opposed the project; sees the Planned Community as a
vehicle to circumvent the 7200 sq. ft. lots; this only benefits the applicant;
creates spot zone situations; eight units where there are three creates an adverse
impact on surrounding area; not an orderly growth pattern.
Charles Anderson, 255 W. 6th, opposed to the project; only benefits the applicant;
The City Council promised the citizens during the bed and breakfast hearings the area
would be left as it is and would not be touched again. He also requested his curb
be re-painted red.
Ed Gage, 405 Main, opposed to project due to lack of recreational area; puts 50 to 60
people into an area designed for 25; negative impact on 6th Street due to limited
access.
Jack Carlile, 355 and 365 W. 6th, in favor of the plan because it should enhance the
value of existing properties.
Barbara Cox, 450 1/2 S. "B" Street, opposed; cited inaccuracy in public hearing
notice; preferred six houses; the current zoning already allows property owners to
build four houses on two lots so this proposal only benefits the applicant; she
further cited the staff report, "the residents are urged to consolidate their lots"
in her concern on overall density changes.

Seeing no one further wishing to speak, Chair Pro Tem Wetl closed the hearing at 9:05
p.m. Commission discussion ensued:
Commissioner LeJeune questioned the lot configuration, which is the front and back of
the lot; asked for clarification on the increase in number of units per project when
lots are consolidated; stated that a consistent plan providing for two houses per lot
would be fair.
Commissioner Baker expressed concern with the public hearing notice information being
incorrect and confirmed the property owners received legal notice. He further
clarified the procedure in amending the Specific Plan in the future.
Chair Pro Tem Well explained to the audience good planning with single family homes
using the Housing Element as a guideline. She further stated that she thought these
houses and the Specific Plan would be an asset to the area.

COM#XSSZON CONCERNS
Commissioner Baker wondered what the construction is on the S Freeway between Newport
and East Tustin area.
Commissioner Well questioned the purpose of the joint meeting with the Council.
Since staff had not been informed of the purpose, the Commission asked for
clarification due to a letter received from Parents Who Care which assumes they are
the reason for the meeting.
Commissioner Well further requested clarification on the Sign Code and on CC&R's in
Planned Community regulationns. Her concern is to reduce the city's liability by
making the city part of the review process.
Commissioner Well further informed that she is representing the city in meetings with
North Tustin residents regarding annexation.

That the Commission recommend to City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Upon finalization of Tract No. 12345, the properties within Area 2 of The East
Tustin Phase I area were granted authorization to be developed as residential
condominiums. At the August 25, 1986 Commission meeting, Design Review 86-11
was approved for the 248 unit condominium project to be called Sycamore Glen.
As a method to phase construction of the approved project in terms of actual
construction and sales, The Bren Company has proposed Tentative Tract Map
12732. Effectively, this subdivision map will create eleven separate lots that
may be developed individually. Given conditions of approval in proposed
Resolution 2356, each lot will be able to stand on its own in terms of parking
and on-site traffic circulation. Accordingly, it is recommended that Tentative
Tract Map 12732 be recommended to City Council

project for the 4.7 acre parcel at the northwesterly corner of Red Hill and
Edinger Avenues. Based on market studies which were prepared for the proposed
Specific Plan No. 7, staff encouraged the developer to include commercial uses
for the generation of sales tax revenue. The developer was agreeable to
amending his plan to include a restaurant, subject to the contribution of funds
from the Redevelopment Agency for the cost of public improvements. Amended
plans which included a 5,200 square foot restaurant and two (2) R & D buildings
of 62,[00 sq. ft. were approved by the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in April of
1985. This RDA approval included a contribution of not more than $250,000
toward off-site public improvements. An analysis of costs and revenues was
completed prior to the Agency's approval which indicated that return from the
project in the form of sales taxes and property tax increments would repay the
Agency contribution within five (5) years.
PROgECT ANALYSIS:
In the Industrial District (M) retail uses are allowed with a use permit.
Proposed Specific Plan No. 7 (see attached plan) shows retail commercial uses
for this parcel. Since the Specific Plan No. 7 has not yet been adopted, a use
permit is required for this project.

The developer Is now requesting authorization to allow retail uses tn the 62,100
square foot R & 0 buildings. The construction of the buildings and parking lot
for this project were recently completed while the restaurant is still under
construction. Resco Development is in the process of signing leases with
proposed tenants for the center. Several of the tenants requested authorization
for retail sales in the Industrial District.
There are 235 parking spaces available for 62,100 square feet of butldlng area.
According to the code, the following requirements for required parking is as
follows:
Off-street parking:
(1) Office standards: One (1) space tot each 250 square feet gross floor area
allocated for office uses, calculated as all floor space under roof.
(2)
Manufacturing, research and assembly: One (1) space for every 500 square
feet gross floor area allocated for manufacturing, research and/or
assembly uses, but in no event less than two (2) parking spaces for each
three (3) employees must be provided. If there is more than one (1)
shift, the number of employees on the largest shift shall be used in
determining parking requirements.
(3)
Storage and warehouse: One (1) space for each 1,000 square feet of gross
floor area for the first 20,000 square feet of area allocated for storage
and/or warehouse use; one (1) space for each 2,000 square feet for the
second 20,000 square feet; one (1) space for each 4,000 square feet in
excess of the initial 40,000 square feet, but in no event less than two
(2) parking spaces for each three (3) employees shall be provided.
(4)
Retail Commercial: One (1) space for each 200 square feet of gross floor
area allocated for retail sales areas.
Typically the actual retail square footage for the type of users in this ara
would be less than 1/2 of the building square footage while the remainder might
be storage or warehouse area. All tenant improvements require permits from
Community Development. Therefore, calculations will be made on the parking
status prior to the issuance of building permits. If the calculations of floor
areas exceed the number of parking spaces provided for the center, then no
further permits would be issued for retail uses. However, the parking provided
should adequately serve the proposed needs of the center. ·
The building elevations show glass fronts which could adequately serve as store
fronts for retail users.

RECOI~IENDED ACTION:
That the Commission recommend to City Counctl approval of Zone Change 86-1 by
the adoption of Resolution No. 2358.
BACKGROUND:'
Over the past year several items have been before the Commision concerning land
use designations for the subject properties. Consideration was given to a
General Plan amendment and development proposal that would have authorized two
story, multi-family dwellings at a density of 16 dwelling units per acre.
However, at that time the Commission as well as the neighboring community
considered the proposed development to be too dense, and therefore out of
character with surrounding single family dwellings.
On Ouly 28, 1986, an alternative development proposal featuring an eight (8)
unit single-family subdivision was presented to the Commission. Because of a
strict interpretation of the code, the subdivision submitted did not conform to
various applicable zoning regulations. As such, a variance would have been
required for development. However, based upon staff's analysis and a
recommendation of the City Attorney, the Commission had difficulty maktng the
mandatory finding of hardship needed to approve the variance. Accordingly,
consideration of Variance application No. 86-4 was continued pending additional
information justifying hardship or revision of the subject site plan.
It should be noted that conceptually staff could have supported the eight unit
development, and that the recommendation of denial for Variance 86-6 was based
upon legal parameters rather than the project's merits.
,Com munity Development Department
Planning CommJsston Report
Zone Change 86-1
page two
In working with the applicant and taking into consideration Commission and
community concerns, another alternative proposal has been prepared for
Commission review. This third Scenario calls for the re-zoning of certain
properties on Sixth Street; the implementation of a specific plan for properties
within; and the imposition of a requirement that a conditional use permit must
be approved by the Commission prior to any development in the affected area.
Authorization for public hearing to consider this zone change was given by the
Commission on August 1, 1986. The remainder of this report will address zone
change 86-1 only.
DISCU$$IO#:
Staff's position in recommending the proposed zone change is based primarily
upon two factors. First, the development plan that is recommended provides an
opportunity to meet a number of goals and objectives of the Tustin Area General
Plan. Specifically, the Housing Element states the following as some of the
policies of the City:
The promotion and encouragement of owner-occupied housing for the
purpose of correcting the imbalance between, rental and owner-occupied
units.
The availability of a variety of housing accommodations and housing
values to enable economic integration of neighborhoods and
communities.
3. The conservation and improvement of existing residential
neighborhoods.
Promote cluster housing within the land use density standards of the
General Plan for the purpose of reducing the costs of housing
construction.
Owners of rental housing units which are determined to be substandard,
in need of repair and a hazard to the health and safety of the
occupants will be encouraged through financial incentives to remove
and replace or rehabilitate the structures.
'Planned Community Districts and Specific Plans will be utilized to
authorize and promote a variety of lot sizes and housing types within
subdivisions.
Additionally, the Housing Element, as a catalyst to housing development,
encourages recycling of properties by lot consolJdatton. Lot consolidation
provides larger sites giving designers flexibility to increase density and still
afford a quality living environment. Developing lot by lot is piecemeal, with a
result of developable space being lost due to setback requirements and driveways
I in each lot. Lot consolidation will help prevent this, while providing
opportunttles for a cohesive development.
Community Development Deparlmem
Planntng Commission Report
Zone Change 86-[
page three
Nhtle not a mandatory direction of the General Plan, the proposed zone change
(with the adoption of Specific Plan No. 11) would be consistent with the Single
Family Residential land use designation defined in the Land Use Element.
This classification is related to the character of residential land use rather
than to precise zoning classifications or density patterns. Within the
parameters of the General Plan, single-family homes may range in type from four
acre hillside estates to patio homes on a 3,600 square foot lot.
The ~econd general area staff considered in reviewing the zone change is the
type of project that would be authorized presuming Specific Plan No. 11 is
adopted. As proposed, zone change 86-1 would enable development of what staff
considers to be a quality residential ~oncept.
Not only would a desirable product type be permitted, but issues of concern of
the neighborhood can be addressed and problems resolved. For example, by the
use of private drives and up to five on-site parking spaces per unit, parklng on
the north side of Sixth Street (in front of particular projects) could be
prohibited. O~ as an alternative, it might be an appropriate time, given
conditions in the area, to implement a "resident only" parking program. Details
of such a program are currently being reviewed by city staff.
ANALYSIS:
Zone Change 86-1 by itself would only authorize development of single family
dwellings at a density of one unit for each 6,000 square feet of land area.
Particular development standards and guidelines must be adopted via a
development plan. In this case Specific Plan No. 11. Reduced to most basic
terms, Zone Change 86-1 authorizes the potential for a maximum of 25 units
within the project area. I practically, however, it is anticipated that given
actual property configurations, only 21 units would be built. In comparison,
under current code, a total of 18 units could be built on existing parcels, and
if all properties were under single ownership, a total of 21 units could
theoretically be constructed.
With such comparisons in mind, staff has concluded that the adoption of Zone
Change 86-1 would not have a significantly adverse impact on the area in terms
of density, population, parking and/or traffic. In fact, with implementation of
a comprehensive development plan present parking problems may be alllveated. In
terms of traffic, using an accepted trip generation formula of 11 trips per
household, the maximum increase in daily trips (above existing zoning) can be
expected to be be 44 trips per day. This is equal to only 2% of existing
traffic on Sixth Street (See Exhibit "A"). A traffic comparison table is also
included with this report (See Exhibit "B").

CONCLUSIONS:
Based upon the analysis conducted and referenced in this transmittal, staff
concludes that Zone Change 86-! should be given a positive recommendation. The
subject zone change would set the groundwork for implementation of a development
plan that will provide for alternative single-family housing product types while
still addressing issues of concern in the area. Accordingly, it is recommended
that the Commission recommend to City Council approval of Zone Change 86-1 by
the adoption of Resolution No. 2358.

SIJ~ARY:
Provided that the Commission recommends to City Council approval of Zone Change
86-1, consideration must be given to a development plan for the subject
properties. In this instance, the proposed development plan is in the form of a
Specific Plan as authorized by Section 65450 of the California Government Code.
As drafted, Specific Plan No. 11 would serve as the development plan for Sixth
Street. Additionally, said plan upon implementation would result in the
attainment of several goals of the Tusttn Area General Plan (See staff report on
Zone Change 86-1 dated September 8, 1986).
Finally, Specific Plan No. 11 is merely the tool that would put into effect
density limits and development types authorized by Zone Change 86-1.
Accordingly, staff recommends approval of the Sixth Street Specific Plan.

P]anntng Comlsston Report
Spectftc Plan No. 11
page 1~o
DISCUSSION:
In general, specific plans are instruments that Implement the general plan and
zontng regulations of a jurtsdfctton. Authority for such plans fs gfven In
Sectton 65450 of the California Government Code. The purpose of such plans is
to allow diversity tn development standards whtle retaining the integrity of
denstty and land use regulatfons for particular properties. In thts manner
tssues of trafftc, stte planning, and development type can be addressed
adequately when unusual circumstances (i.e. irregular lot sizes or shapes) extst
tn an identified area. In other words, the spectftc plan process recognizes
that not all zonfng regulations for a certain type of development can
necessarily be tmposed uniformly tn all areas of a jurisdiction.
ANALYSIS:
Specific Plan No. 11 is a development plan for Sixth Street that attempts to
balance the pressures for development with neighborhood and community goals,
resulting in an orderly growth pattern for the area.
In the most basic terms, Specific Plan No. 11 is the implementation' tool putting
into effect Zone Change 86-1. Without repeating the text of. Specific Plan No.
11 here, implications of the document can be summarized as follows:
1. Only single family detached dwelling units will be authorized.
2.. Only one (1) unit will be permitted on any lot with less than a 115
foot lot width.
3. All current uses of the subject properties will be permitted to remain
pursuant to existing non-conforming regulations of the Municipal Code.
4. For consolated lots with a combined lot width equal to or greater than
115 lineal feet, single family units may be constructed at a density
of ! unit/6,000 square feet of land area.
5. A conditional use permit will be required for all multi-lot
subdivisions.
6. For multi-lot subdivisions, each home must be situated upon its own
lot, and homes will be limited to one (1) story in height.
Given criteria outlined in the proposed specific plan anJ the configuration of
parcels in the area, it is anticipated that the following development pattern
will occur:
1. For single parcels, only one (1) dwelling unit will be permitted.
2. Where two lots are consolidated, four (4) units would be authorized.
Community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Specific Plan No. 1!
page three
3. Where three lots are consolldated, eight (8) units would be
authorized.
e
Although an analyMs of development of four or more lots has not been
conducted, the maximum unit count (assuming Mngle ownership) for the
entire project area ts a potential of 25 homes.
For further analysis of the implications of development under the proposed
density, see Report to Planning Commission: Zone Change 85-1 dated September 8,
1986.
CONCLUSZONS:
Based upon information gathered, including review of previous Commission
hearings on projects in the area, staff has concluded that a very appropriate
way to balance all issues concerned is to implement a Specific Plan for Sixth
Street. Accordingly, it is recommended that the Commission recommend to City
Council approval of Specific Plan No. 11 by the adoption of Resolution No.
2359.

RECOI~ENDED ACTION:
That the Commission approve Use Permit Application No. 86-26 by adoption of
Resolution No. 2360.
SLIIMRY:
Use Permit Application No. 86-26 if approved would authorize development of
eight (8) single family homes, each on individual .lots in conformance with all
provisions of proposed Specific Plan No. 11. A use permit is required pursuant
to the specific plan. The project would result in construction of single story
homes of between 1300 and 1480 square feet upon 6,000 square foot lots. Each
lot would front upon a private drive.
Since the proposed project meets all requirements of proposed Specific Plan No.
11, staff recommends Use Permit 86-26 be approved.
PROdECT ANALYSZS:
The subject project site is a 58,941 square foot area which if approved would
consolidate and re-subdivide three existing lots. Eight (8) single family lots
would be established as well as a separate lot deltntattng a private drive and
common area serving the project.
Corn munity Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Use Permit Application No. 86-26
page two
As mentioned, the proposed project meets all requirements of Specific Plan No.
1! which in turn is compatible with standard R-1 regulations with the exception
of lot size. In fact, Specific Plan No. 11 is in some ways more restrictive
than the R-1 zone. For example, five (5) parking spaces per unit are required
instead of four (4). The subject project provides 5.37 spaces per .unit.
Further, in the R-! District, two-story, 30 foot high homes are permitted.
Within the Specific Plan Area for multiple lot projects, the maximum height is
one-story not to exceed 24 feet. Finally, rear yard.setbacks are to be at least
15 feet, where in the R-1 District only a 5 foot setback is required.
A positive factor of the site design is that with a 28 foot driveway and 20 to
25 foot setbacks, a substantial open area between structures has been provided.
Also, most of the features of traditional single family homes have been
provided.
Architecturally, proposed units are compatible with the surrounding area. The
use of wood siding, large front window areas and pitched roofs is consistent
with the type of architecture predominant in the vicinity.
Finally, since a subdivision map is required for the project, appropriate
conditions concerning maintenance of the private drive, enforcement of
applicable regulations, and the establishment of a Homeowners Association will
be ~mposed upon the associated tentative tract map (Tentative Tract 12833).
CONCLUSZONS:
Since the project meets all requirements of Specific Plan No. ~1 and
architecturally the design is compatible with the surrounding aera. Staff
recommends that Use Permit 86-26 be approved by the adoption of Resolution No.
2360.

Community Development Department
Planning CommJsston Report
Tentative Tract No. 12833
page two
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Presently, lots addressed 405, 415 and 425 West Sixth Street are developed as
stngle-famfly residences. Each lot Is an average of 59 f~et wtde and 333 feet
deep. Zontng and General Plan designations for the area both are Single-Family
Residential. However, a proposed zone change and spectftc plan for the project
wtll be considered at the September 8, 1986 CommtsMon meettng.
The Tract Map before the Commission proposes to consolidate the three (3)
ex~sttng lots and re-subdivide them into etght lots, each for the purposes of
development of single-family dwelllngs. Each lot created wfll be a mtntmum of
6,000 square feet tn conformance w~th proposed Spectftc Plan No. 11.
Additionally, a separate lot for a pr1¥ate, common drive has been proposed.
Issues concerning the subdtvtMon aspect of th~s project are fatrly limited.
Standard conditions relattng to publlc improvements, on-slte ftre hydrants, and
rights of' ingress and egress wtll be incorporated fnto the resolution of
approval for the map. However, one other area of concern warrants further
discussion. Specifically, the maintenance of the private drtve Indicated as Lot
Although the developer originally had wished to avotd establishment of a
homeowners association, staff strongly recommended otherwise. A homeowners
association should be established as should an acceptable set of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions, (C.C.& R's) l~stlng rules and regulations for the
subdJvtslon. In staff's opfnton, these C.C.& R's may be ~tmtted, even to the
pofnt of only setttng parameters and fundtng sources for the private drive
maintenance. Wtth an assocfatJon tn place, the C~ty wfll have an establlshed
body to work with In terms of the proper maintenance of the drtve as well as the
upkeep of the enttre project. The Ctty Attorney wtl~ review and approve all
proposed C.C.& R documents prtor to recordation of any f~nal tract map.
CONCLUSIONS:
Given that the proposed subdtvfslon is in conformance with proposed Spectftc
Plan No. 11 and that a homeowners association wfth approved C.C.& R's wtll be
established, tt is concluded that the project wtll be a posttfve addttton to the
area. Accordingly, tt is recomended that the Commission recommend to C~ty
Counctl approval of Tentative Tract Hap No. 12833 by the adoptfon of Res. No.
2362.

RECQI~ENDED ACTION:
Contingent opon Commission consideration of land use acttons Zone Change 86-1,
Spectftc Plan Ho. 11, and Use Permit 86-26, two recommendations are presented
for the Commission:
1. If the referenced land use actions are gtven favorable consideration
by the Commission, then it is.recommended that the applicant withdraw
his application and the Commission formally recognize the appllcant's
request.
2. If the referenced land use actions are denied, then it is recommended
that Variance Appllication No. 86-4 be denied on the basis that the
hardship identified by the applicant does not justify deviation from
required development standards.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On July 28, 1986 the Planning Commission continued consideration of Variance
Application No. 86-4 pending either alteration of the proposed project or an
amendment to land use regulations in the vicinity. As a result, an alternative
method for processing development along Sixth Street was reviewed by staff.
This alternative entailed Zone Change 86-1, Specific Plan No. 11 and Use Permit
86-26. If these actions were approved by the Commission, then the need for
Variance 86-4 would be removed.
~ Community DeVelopment Department
planning Commission Report
Variance Application No. 86-4
page ~o
On the other hand, if the referenced land use actions were not approved, then
the Commission must again consider Variance application No. 86-4. Since the
project has not been substantially revised and still proposes lot sizes of less
than 7,200 (R-[ requirement), staff would again recommend denial of the subject
variance. Supporting information and reasoning behind staff's recommendation ar
detailed in the attached report dated July 28, 1986.
Further elaboration on the project will be presented to the'Commission at the
September 8, [986 meeting if such discussion is warranted.

RECOI~ENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that Variance App]lcatton No. 86-4 be denied on the basis that
the hardship identified by the applicant does not justify deviation from
required development standards.
SLII~IARY:
Variance Application No. 86-4 if approved would authorize the development of
eight (8) single family homes, each on individual lots. However, said lots
would be inconsistent with zoning regulations in that within the single family
residential (R-l) district building sites are to be a minimum of 7,200 square
feet and are required, by definition, to front upon a "street, road, highway or
waterway". As proposed, only lots 1 and 8 shown on proposed Tentative Tract Map
12833 have street frontages. Further, lots 4 and 5 on the proposed map, in
addition to not fronting on a street, are substandard since each lot covers only
6372 square feet.
Without the finding of hardship, independent of the overall quality of the
project, variances to the Municipal Code cannot be granted. In this case, staff
does not concur with the applicant's contention of hardship and accordingly
recommends that the project as submitted be denied.

Planning Commission Report
Variance Application No. 86-4
page four
than 1 unit: 7,200 square feet. In fact, if the Commission and the Community
have no objections to the project itself, then the most appropriate action would
be for some type of zone change in the area.
By changing the zone, wholesale revisions to allowed uses are not necessarily
required. For example, requirements mandating individual lots, minimum lot
sizes and restrictions that only single family houses be permitted can all be
incorporated into a specific planning process. If the Commission concurs with
this alternative process, then it is suggested that in a separate action a zone
change be initiated.
CONCLUSION:
As outlined in this report, staff does not support approval of Variance
Application 86-4 as submitted because .mandatory determinations for such approval
do not seem to be present. Conceptually and archt tecutrally the proposed
project be a positive addition to the area. However, the Commission is
cautioned that the merits of a project are not sufficient grounds for approval
of variances. Instead, specific findings must be made justifying such
variances. Since these conditions do not appear to be present, staff concludes
that the project as submitted should be denied.
