APPLICANT/
PROPERTY
OWNER: MR. DUSKIN KELLER AND MR. TIM KELLER
18826 WINDWOOD LANE, SANTA ANA, CA 92705
LOCATION: 210 S. PACIFIC STREET
ZONING: R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
ENVIRONMENTAL
STATUS: CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT CLASS 3
REQUEST: TO BUILD A 2360 SQUARE FOOT SECOND SINGLE FAMILY UNIT
RECOi~ENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve Use Permit 87-13 by the'
adoption of Resolution No. 2417.
BACKGROUND:
Submitted development plans propose construction of a 2,360 square foot second
single family unit and attached two car garage on an existing .3 acre, R-1 zoned
lot which is 55 feet in width and 243 feet deep. The applicant also proposes to
provide a detached two car garage for the existing single family unit at the
center portion of the lot. Section 9223 (b) of the Zoning Code requires a
Conditional Use Permit for construction of a second single family unit in the
R-1 zone.
The subject project is located in the 01d Town residential area in a
predominantly single family area. However, numerous sites in the area contain
second units such as this proposal. The property faces Pacific Street on the
east and is surrounded by single family homes on the north, south and west.

ANALYSIS:
The proposed unit is subject to specific Development Standards established by
the Zoning Code. A summary of minimum requirements as compared against the
proposed project is as follows:
DEVELOPMENT STANDARD CODE REQUIREMENT PROPOSED PROJECT
Front yard setbacks 25 feet 169 feet
Side yard setbacks 5 feet 5 feet
Rear yard setbacks 20 feet 20 feet
Building Height 30 feet 13.5 feet
Minimum Building Site 12,000 sq. ft. 13,365 sq. ft.
Off-Street Parking 2 garage spaces 2 garage spaces
per unit per unit
The location of the se'cond unit is set back 20 feet from the garage aJdition and
a total of 89 feet from the existing single family residence. The property
directly to the south contains a second single family unit with a similar site
layout. The new unit is located, a minimum of eighteen {18) feet from the
neighboring unit which is located on the property to the south (see attached
plans for clarification).
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES:
As proposed, the new unit and detached garage will incorporate architectural
elements which match the existing unit. Both structures will have wood
horizontal siding, french parted windows and dark composition roof shin~les. The
overall effect is somewhat victorian in style and is to be painted pastel yellow
with white trim.
The existing structure and the new unit and garage will be compatible with the
surrounding area. There are numerous woodsided buildings with french paned
windows in the neighborhood. Staff considers the architectural elements to be
in harmony with the existing structure and the neighborhood as a whole.

RECOHMENDED ACTION:
It ts recommended that the Planning Commission adopt the following:
a.) Resolution No. 2413 recommending that City Council approve General Plan
Amendment 87-1.
b.) Resolution No. 2414 recommending Zone Change 87-2.
c.) Resolution No. 2412 recommending Zone Change 87-1.
d.) Resolution No. 2411 establishing guidelines for review of Conditional Use
Permit applications and proposed Development Plans.
BACKGROUND:
On June 29, 1987 the Planning Commission held a public workshop to discuss
proposed Zone Change 87-1, 87-2 and General Plan Amendment 87-1. Staff
presented a report containing information on the events which led up to the
initiation of the project and a proposed course of action. The June 29th staff
report is attached for all related background information.
At the workshop, Mr. Robert Laird of Cerritos expressed concern over the
proposed I-5 Freeway widening and how it would affect his property. Recent
freeway widening data was obtained from the Los Angeles Caltrans office and is
attached.to this report as Exhibit I. Additional conversations with Clarence
Community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
July 27, 1987
Zone Change 87-1, 87-2/General Plan Amendment 87-1
Page two
O'Hara of Caltrans on .July 8th would indicate that Caltrans may be suggestqng
design changes along, the stretch of freeway widening adjacent to Mr. Laird's
property._ Those changes would not likely result iX the need for additional
right-of-way but could eliminate the Newport Avenue ramp and widening for the
ramp itself.
All other verbal and written comments on the proposed Zone Change 87-1 and 87-2
supported rezoning 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 rezoning 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 District: These
guidelines will require consideration of access, visibility and land use issues
prior to approval of a Conditional Use Permit adopting ~f 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 1-5
Freeway will also require a General Plan Amendment which redesignates the land
use from MF (Multi Family) and C (Commercial) to the PC (Planned
Community) District. This amendment will ensure conformance between the Zoning
Map and General Plan Map as required by state law. The properties at Newport
Avenue and Main Street are already designated for commercial land use on the
General Plan Map. ~
CONCLUSION:
Through the implementation of Zone Change 87-1, 87-2, General Plan Amendmen~
87-1 and the Development Plan Guidelines, staff can facilitate more
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.

BACKGROUND:
On Apr11 20, ~987 the ¢tty Counctl passed an Urgency Ordinance (Fio. 983) which
approved a moratorium, on processing, tssuance of butldtng permtts or approvals
of ~ny kind for development pro~lect$ tn the areas along Ne~por~ Avenue as
Illustrated on Map ! and 2 to Attachmen~ 1. The sub,Jeer moratorium was In
effect for 46 days (per section 65858 of the Caltforflta Government Code) and was
subsequently extended for ~en (10) months and ftfteen (15) days on dune 1, 1987.
The moratorium v~s enacted for the' purposes of conducting a' zontng s~u~ly on the
properS¶es tn the moratorium areas. A revtev of the events vhtch star~ed ~hts
process and the development constr, atnt$ on ~he propertfes tnvolved t$ tncluded

Staff have completed the zontng study of the properties tncluded tn the
moratorium area and have drafted appropriate amendments ~o the General P~an and
Zontng OPcltnance for the Commission's revtev and comments. '

All etght (8) p'arcels ~re.currently tn the South Central Redevelopment Area and
are zoned for commercial use (See Map No. I tn the attached staff report). Each
lot has a c0mmerctal land IJse designation, tn the General Plan. As proposed, the
zone change would ~nvolve rezontng of all etght (8) parcels from CG and CG-PUO
to Planned Con, aunity Commercial (PC-C). The zone change would not alter the
types of uses allowed by the current zoning on the property, however staff
recommends that the Co,,,,,l sst on consider guidelines for development of Planned
Community Commercial properties (See item number 3 tn this report).
Use of the Planned Community Commercial dtstrtct as opposed to CG and CG-PUD
w111 allow certain development flextbtltttes such as parktng, set back and
hetght requirements which are tailored to .meet the needs of each development
area. .This would be done through approval of a development plan whtch
required'prior to initiation of any project tn the Planned Community Commercial
01strict. This development plan ts approved by the Planning Co~nlssion through
a Use Permit.
2.. tleststde of orr 'Avenue Betueen the Z-5 F_~:a and l~ltchell Avenue
~Thts area tncludes eleven (11) parcels located In the Sou.th- Central
Redevelopment Area (See Map Number 2 In the attached staff report). Of these,
stx (6) are zoned C-1: Retail Commercial and the remaining ftve (5) parcels are
zoned R-3: I~ultJLfanflly Residential.. The proposed project would rezone
eleven (11) parcels to Planned Community Commercial. This would allow Uses
currently authorized on the six (6)*C-1 zoned parcels, however, the five (5*) R-3
zonedtots would be rezoned to commercial.
As wtth the area previously discussed, incremental development of parcels in
this area would render other properties undevelopable for commercial use. This
ts due to the current lot configurations which create irregular lots wtth
mtntmum visibility and access. '~Uth the Pla'nned Communtty'Commerct~.l zoning
designation, .the use of development plans can help to'reduce these pcoblems as
· .opposed to ustng a standard C-1 or CG zone which would allow thcremental
development.
M~ltt-famtly structures on the existing R-3 zoned lots would be considere~
exlsttng, non-confornflng uses. Under current provisions of the Ctty's Zoning
Code, extsttng uses and structures would be permitted to rematn untt
construction of more than 50[ of the assessed value is necessary or tf the use
on the property is vacated for a period of over six (6) months. Should either
of these events occur, the property would have to be converted to a co~,ercial
use in conformance with the Planned Co,,.~ntty district. The remaining stx (6)
;-1 lots are currently used for commercial purposes.

The ftve (5) C-! zoned lots are currently designated C: Commercial on the
Seneral Plan Land Use'Map. However the extsttng R-3 Zoned lots are designated
MF: Multi-family. A General Plan Amendment would be required to re-designate
all properties In the study area to the Planned Community Co~a,erctal (PCC) land
use designation prior to any zone change on the subject properties.
3. Planned C~muntty Commercial Development Guidelines and Revlew Criteria:
The project areas both contatn stmtlar visibility and access problems. In order
to assure comprehensive development of all parcels to thetr fullest potential,
staff recommends that the Planntng Commission conslder adoptton of development
gutdellnes for properties tn these areas as well as all other Planned Community
Commercial lots. The proposed guidelines Incorporate the following objectives
for deveibpment plans In the Planned Community Commercial district:
Consolidate.on of lots shall be Incorporated wherever feasible;
Development of stngle' parcels at the expense of'limiting future potential
development of other parcels In the same dtstrtct and whtch are adjacent
to the area betng considered, shall be discouraged;
3. The tntent of the development plan shall be to allow maxtmum 'visibility
and accessibility of all parcels tn the same dtstrtct which are adjacent
to 'the property being considered; and
4. Development Plans proposed f~r Planned Community Commercial properties
should Incorporate uses tn which contribute to'the general fund wherever
possible.

BACXGROUND:
The Tusttn. City Counctl adopted an tntertm ordinance (No. 983) on Apr11 20,
1987. Th~s ordinance placed a moratorium on the processing, tssuance of permlts
or approvals of any ktnd for development projects of properties located on the
east stde of* Newport Avenue between Hath 'Street and San Juan and on the west
stde of Newport Avenue between the Z-5 freeway and Mttchell Avenue. Attached Is
a copy of the Aprtl 20, 1987 Staff report whtch discusses the background and
zontn9 tssues related to the tnlttatton of the moratorium.
The subject moratorium was established for the purpose of permtttfng completfon
of Zone changes and a General Plan amendment whtch wtll re-zone the.study areas
to PC-Planned Community Commercial. Thfs ts expected to encourage comprehensfve
development of the properties tn the study areas and avotd Incremental
development of properties whtch have a detrimental effect on the area.
The moratorium prevfously adopted Is effectfve for 45 days from the date of
adoptfon and may be extended by the Cfty Counctl for ten (Z0) months and ftf~een
(15) days. A subsequent extensfon of one year may also be granted wfth the
approval of the Ctty Counctl.
Section 65858 requires that a report be prepared and made available to the
publtc ten (10) days prior to the public hearing for the c0nstderatfon of
extending any moratorium adopted by an 1nterfm ordinance. This report contatns
the zonlng related 1ssues' and a proposed course of actton for tnfttatton of a
zone change and General Plan amendment for the stady area.

WORK PROGRAPI:
As discussed in the attached staff report of April 20, 1987, each of the study
areas have considerable development potential . However, some lots have minimum
visibility and access to Newport Avenue. Should any of the lots which directly
face Newport Avenue be developed individually, the possibility of development of
the rear lots in each area is highly unlikely.
The proposed zone change to PC-Plan6ed Community Commercial would reouire some
form of lot consolidation and a development plan. This development plan would
address visibility and access issues in addition to site, architectural, and
landscaping requirements and would be approved by the issuance of a Use Permit.
At this time, Staff has. completed the following steps towards the preparation of
zoning ordinance amendments.
1. Base maps prepared.
2. Survey of land use and zoning.
3. ~reparatton of maps showing zoning/land use and condition of property.
4.. Initial analysis of proposed zone change and General Plan amendments.
The base maps and analysis results Will help staff to prepare the final zoning
documents for presentation to the City Council and Planning Commission.
The following is a proposed processing schedule for the current work program:

.CI~OUND AND ANALYSIS:
The Community Development Department has recently been approached by se'veral
parties .about development of property at the southeast corner of Newport Avenue
and Main Street and property along the west' side of Newport Avenue between
Ritchell Avenue and the I-5 freeway. These are properties that staff feel have
development potential. However, it is our position that limited access and
traffic issues along Newport Avenue necessitate that the properties in each
study area be developed as comprehensive, cohesive projects. These study areas
and the issues involved are discussed separately below.
1. EAST SIDE OF NEWPORT AVENUE BE"TI~EEN MAIN STREET AND SAN JUAN
':
Each of the corner sites has considerable development potential. Each of
the sites within' this study area are zoned CG-Commercial General or
CG-PUD-Commercial General-Planned Unit Development. The three lots on the
north would provide a development site of 1.48 acres if combined. The
southerly site comprises eight lots which total 1.11 acres if combined.
See Map I for clarification.
Current zoning would allow incremental development of each of the eight
lots within the study area. Although some sites have optimum visibility
and accessibility, the most easterly lots are not visible or accessible
from Newport Avenue. Should incremental development occur, all access, and
street visibility of the easterly lots will be limited to Andrews Street or
San Juan, thereby creating a situation that makes it highly unlikely that
these sites would be developed as commercial propoerty despite their
current zoni n9.
,ty Council Repor~
April 20, 1987
San Juan and Main Street Morltorium
Page no
Recognizing the important l=cation of the subject properties across from
Tustin Plaza and as. entry to the Civic Center and Old Town, the City should
take whatever steps necessary to ensure consolidated development of the
subject properties. In order to encourage coh6sive development of the
area, initiation of a zone change on all eight sites is recommended. This
zone change could rezone all eight sites to PC-Commercial whtch requires a
development plan and Use Permit prior to construction.
Similar uses already authorized In the CG zone would be allowed in the PC
zone. However, flexibility in mixed uses, parking and setback'requirements
and site design' would be available.
2. WESTSIDE OF NEWPORT AVENUE BETWEEN ll4E I-$ FREEWAY AND MITCHELL AVENUE
This area is comprised of eleven lots in an area approximately 3.98 acres
in size. Six lots within the study area, which have access directly onto
~- Newport Avenue, are: zoned C-1 Retail Commercial. The remaining five lots
are zoned R-3-Multtple Family Residential. See Map 2 for details.
Some lots (Alta Dena. Dais, vacant Texaco site and the Headache Treatment
Center) which face Newport Avenue have optimum visibility and
accessibility. However, the three lots on the north east corner have very
limited access due to their irregular 'configuration. The 1 remaining
properties are accessed from either "C" Street or "B" Street and currently
contain non-conforming multiple family housing units. These units were
annexed into Tustin from the County of Orange and do not meet current
parking, open space, architectural-and density requirements of the
zoning district.
Incremental development of all or a portion of the properties will have an
affect upon the development of the properties as a whole. As in the case
. of the previously discussed study area, incremental development ~ould occur
under the current zoning. However, incremental developent of certain lots,
such as the vacant Texaco site would greatly reduce the possibilities for
development of the three lots to the north.
In order to encourage- comprehensive development of the area, staff is
currently studying the-feasibility of a zone change on all eleven parcels.
This zone change could involve rezontng all eleven sites to Planned
Community which requires a development plan and Use Permit prior to
construction.

COMMENTS FOR INITIAL STUDY
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 87-1 AND ZONE CHANGE 87-2
In discussing the environmental impacts of the proposed projects, all comments on
the initial study questions were answered "NO" except for Section No. 8 regarding
Land Use. The project is proposed to change the Land Use and Zoning designations on
the Zoning and General Plan maps to Planned Community Commercial. Although a change
in the actual land use will not immediately occur with this project,..it will make it
possible for the land use to be change to commercial at some point in the future.
The General Plan 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 and 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
no environmental impacts are expected to occur unless an expansion or introduction of
~w land use occurs in the future. These impacts will be considered at the time that
~roject 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 Use 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
impact 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-
posed. The zoning and general plan change will require lot consolidation and reduction
traffic, accessibility and visual impacts of any proposed project. Therefore, any
ute impacts and the requirements to reduce any future traffic, visibility and architect-
ural compatibility problems will be handeled at the time that a project is processed.

RESOLUTION NO. 2411
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR
REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS
AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLANS ON PROPERTIES
LOCATED IN THE PLANNED COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as
follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. In order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, the
Planning Commission should consider the following guidelines
when reviewing Conditional Use Permit applications and proposed
development plans on properties located in the City of Tustin's
Planned Community Commercial District:
1. Consolidation of lots shall be encouraged wherever feasible
to ensure that contiguous properties with the same zoning
designation are considered in a comprehensive rather than in
an incremental manner.
2. Review of Conditional Use Permit applications and
development plans for parcels in the Planned Community
Commercial District shall consider impacts on adjacent
properties, and properties in the vicinity, in that the
Planned Community Commercial district intends to promote the
following goals and objectives:
a. The best use of property within the Planned Community
Commercial district is development approaching maximum
development potential;
b. To promote a consistent quality of development
throughout the Planned Community Commercial district;
c. To provide compatible land uses which do not interfere
or create health, safety or moral problems for an
adjacent use;
d. To ensure efficient parcel sizes and configurations
for development plans approved in the Planned
Community Commercial district;
e. To require development plans which incorporate a
combination of standards and incentives which will
stimulate quality development;
f. To promote lot consolidation in order to minimize
traffic congestion through use of combined access
points for development projects;
Resolution No. 2411
page two
g. To ensure that development projects in the Planned
Community Commercial District promote maximum
visibility and accessibility of all parcels in the
same district. Impacts to properties adjacent to and
in the vicinity of property being considered should be
reviewed in that incremental development of properties
in the Planned Community Commercial District may
render contiguous properties undevelopable for
commercial use.
h. Ensure that projects proposed for properties within
the Planned Community Commercial District incorporate,
wherever possible, uses which generate general fund
revenue to the City in conformance within the land use
element of the General Plan which is to promote an
economically balanced community.
B. That the establishment of these guidelines is necessary to
protect the property and improvements in the neighborhoods
surrounding or located in the Planned Community Commercial
Districts and the general welfare of the City of Tustin.
C. These guidelines are in accordance with the South Central and
Town Center Redevelopment Plans.
D. Should a development plan for a project within the Planned
Commercial district fail to meet any of the aforementioned
guidelines, this shall provide a basis for Planning Commission
denial of the Use Permit required for approval of the
development plan.

Resolution No. 242~.
SLq~ARY:
For approximately the last 57 years, Southern Counties 0~1 has operated a
commercial fuel pumping facility and a bulk oil storage operation on the
properties located on the northeast corner of E1 Camino Real and Newport
Avenue. The site also houses office space for the Tustin operation.
At this time Southern Counties is in the process of relocating its offices and
bulk oil operation to a larger industrial site. However, the company wishes to
retain the self-service, commercial fuel dispensing pumps in the immediate
vicinity and has purchased the site formerly occupied by Rasmussen'$ Saddlery
for this purpose. :
Pursuant to various sections of the Zonin~ Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit
's required for service stations or gasoline dispursing operations.
,.ddittonally, since the project is within the Town Cen%er Redevelopment Project
L ~,rea, a formal design review process is also mandated.
Finally, in conjunction with the proposed project the following discretionary
actions by the Planning Commission are also necessary:

Use Permit 87-14/Variance 87-04
July 27, 1987
Page two
1. The project site plan indicates an eight (8) foot block wall along ~he
easterly property line. A Conditional Use Permit is required for any wall
above 6'8" in height.
2. The free-standing control building is located within the required
sideyard setback. A Variance to setback requirements must be approved
prior to construction of the structure as shown.
3. The project identification sign is shown within the required highway
~etback area. A Variance to setback requirements must be approved prior
to construction of the sign as shown.
The project, as advertised, also included a request to vary with setback
requirements by allowing encroachment of overhead canopies in the front and side
yard setbacks. HOWever, after discussions between staff and the applicant, this
portion of the application was withdrawn.
For purposes of presenting a comprehensive view of the proposed development,
each of the issues noted will be addressed within the body of this transmittal.
However, separate formal~ actions by the Commission will be required on each
component.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
~eneral - Submitted development plans propose construction and operation of a 24
hour self-service, card-lock, fuel pumping facility to be located on the
southeast corner of Newport Avenue'and Bonita Avenue on a long and narrow 0.31
acre site in the C-1 Retail Commercial Zoning District. The subject site is
bounded on the east by a residential structure, on the south by a retail
shopping center across Bonita, to the north by an abandoned service station, and
to the west across Newport Avenue by commercial uses within the Tustin Plaza
Project.
The type of facility proposed will be totally self-serving and be unattended by
Company personnel. With this system customers insert a credit card in~o service
pumps, receive the product, and immediately leave the site. The facility will
service both standard automobiles as well as commercial trucks which may be as
large as 50-70 feet in length.
Site improvements proposed on the subject property will include two pump
islands, a 10 foot landscaping strip along the street frontage of Newport and
Bonita, a 120 square foot control building at the southeast corner of the
property, an eight (8) foot block wall along the easterly property line, a 100
foot landscape buffer in front of the wall, and a freestanding business
identification sign in the required street yard setback. Consistent with
current guidelines for self-serving service-stations, three standard sized
parking spaces are also proposed 'adjacent to the easterly property line.
Community DeveloPment Department
~lanntng Commission Report
Jse Permit 87-14/Variance 87-04
July 27, 1987
Page three
Conditional Use ~ermit.87-14 is a request to authorize the subject use and the
proposed eight (8) foot wall. Variance 8?-04 would authorizeplacement of the
proposed sign and control building within required setback areas.
Circulation and Access: - Given the configuration of the site and constraints
posed by a median island on Newport Avenue, a one-way circulation pattern is
proposed. Vehicular movements will be restricted to entering the site from
Newport Avenue and exiting onto Bonita. Pump islands have been moved as far
north as possible and the proposed control building has been moved to the
southeast to accommodate stacking of vehicles, particularly larger trucks.
While the proposed circulation pattern is the best alternative available given
existing constraints, there may still be potential impediments to free flowing
traffic on Bonita. In the event that an exiting truck would not be able to
complete~a maneuver in to the appropriate traffic lane, traffic turning onto
Bonita from Newport Avenue could be obstructed.
While there has been expressed concern about truck movements onto Bonita and
along Newport Avenue. These concern can be addressed in the following manner.
Kirst, traffic counts onto Bonita are relatively low. While precise counts are
not available, the residential nature of local streets, and the lack of a
traffic signal generally result in lower vehicular trips. Secondly, Qs ~equired
by City ordinance and recommended by the Public Works Department, additional
right-of-way and improvement will be required on the southeast corner of Bonita
and Newport Avenue. This improvement will'result in a smoother turning radius
and will allow greater visibility to drivers turning onto Bonita. Finally, the
applicant has indicated that only 30% of vehicles served are large trucks.
Additionally, it is anticipated that within approximately one year, trucks will
no longer be serviced at the subject locations. Instead, these vehicles will be
serviced at the larger industrial location the applicant intends to purchase.
Therefore, with the physical conditions of traffic counts and the new curb and
radius in mind, and a recommended condition of approval that the site only
serves trucks for a period of not more than 12 months, staff recommends approval
of the requested use and temporary circulation recommended. :
It should be noted that the applicant is not in favor of dedicating additional
right-of-way at the corner of Newport and Bonita. However, the Planning
Commission does not have discretion in this matter and any waiver of
right-of-way requirements can only be approved by the City Council.

Use Permit 87-14/Variance 87-04
Page four
Landscaping - The Newpqrt Avenue frontage has been provided with a ten (10) fbot
landscape area that is very compatible with the Primrose projeat immediately to
the north. A combination of sod and accent shrubs Using an earthen berm or
mounding technique has been provided along the arterial. Additionally,
landscape buffer between the project and the adjacent residential zone is also
proposed. While the landscape concept plan is acceptable, trees have not been
provided in sizes consistent with recently prepared landscaping standards. For
example, all street frontage trees (Carrotwoods) are shown to be 15 gallon size
as opposed to required 24" box. Additionally, these trees are to be on-site and
not within the public right-of-way. All eucalyptus trees are shown as 15 gallon
size in lieu of the standard 24" box. Staff would suggest that proposed trees
adjacent to entry points on the project be 24" box, with the remaining, treew 15
gallon size.
It is also suggested that the 15 gallon eucalyptus are acceptable along the
eastern property line as this-size tends to grow much faster than larger, older
trees.
Eight Foot Block Wall - The site plan shows an eight {8) foot masonry block wall
along the eastern property line. Pursuant to the Zoning code a 6'8" wall is the
maximum height allowed for this required wall. However, pursuant to the Zoning
Code with approval of a Conditional Use a block wall may exceed 6'8" in height.
The proposed eight (8) foot wall will provide a visual and sound buffer between
the proposed use and adjacent residential uses to the east. Staff's main
concern is the aesthetic quality of an eight (8) foot structure spanning over
the entire length of the property..To improve the visual quality of the site it
is recommended that the block will be textured, colored and stuccoed inclUding
the use of revels in a pattern similar to walls on the Tustin Plaza project.
Free-standtn9 Control Building - The unattended control building shown near the
southeast corner of the property is proposed to be is setback 5'8" from the
easterly property line. The C-1 District requires a minimum 10' setback at this
location. Although it is possible to shift the structure westerly so that a
variance would not be required, such movement would impact thQ vehicle
circulation pattern on the site. Legal support for the granting of th~ variance
is based upon the subject property's size and shape being long and narrow and
the special circumstances of a public alley being immediately adjecent to the
property.
Free-standtn~ Business Identification Sign - Applicant proposes to install a 32
square foot monument sign for business identification within the 15 foot
arterial highway setback area. A variance is required since a free-standing
sign is by definition a structure and structures are not permitted within
setback areas. In apprving previous signs in the area, however, this applicable
section of the Zoning Code was inadvertently overlooked and several signs have
been authorized in setback areas. Upon future revisions to the Sign Code, this
area will be clarified and standardized. In the meantime,.ap~licants that wish
to place signs in street setback areas must first obtain a variance.

Page five
Since it can be argued that denial of the Variance request would deprive the
applicant of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the general vicinity
under similar circumstances, approval of Variance 87-04 as it pertains to the
sign can be supported. Such action is consistent wit~ Section 9471 of the Sign
Code which establishes criteria for granting of sign variances.
Architectural Design - To 'be compatible with the surrounding, area, the applicant
propses the use of stucco and spanish tile on the control buildi6g. To ensure
compatibility on the site, staff is recommending that the same finish material
be used on the block walT. Staff would also recommend the use of revels along
the block wall, trash enclosure and control building in a pattern similar to the
Tustin Plaza Project. It is recommended that the stucco finish be the same as
applied to Tustin Plaza: a plaster and trowel finish. Final colors and revel
details should be subject to review and approval of the Director of Community
Development.
Although to date staff have not reviewed colors, copy, or configuration of the
propsed sign. It is recommended that the sign be compatible in design and color
with the balance of the project subject to final review and approval of the
Director of Community Development.
CONCLUSION:
Based on information presented in this transmittal and conditions Jf approval
contained in Resolution 2420 and 2421 it is concluded that of Use Permit 87-14
and Variance 87-04 be approved.

Explanation, of 7'yes" and "maybe" responses to attached Initial Study Form.
II 1.b. - Soil will be displayed during the course of construction and installation
of underground fuel tanks. Displacement of soil will not result in a
significant impact to the environment in that provisions of the Uniform
Building Code, and rules enforced by other regulatory agencies pertaining
to the subject project will be required. Additionally a complete soils
report to be prepared by a registered engineer is required.
II 4.a. - As a requirement of the project substantial landscaping will be provided.
This will result in a positive change in plant materials in the area.
II 8 - Additional lighting will be necessary for the site. However, as a
condition of approval all lights are to be situated so as not to shine
directly on to adjacent properties. Additionally an eight foot block
wall and a landscape buffer will seperate the project from adjacent
residential sites. These conditions will mitigate any impact.
II 10.a. - Given that the use of the property will house to a gasoline dispensing
facility there is the potential for release of gasoline which is
classified as a hazardous substance. However, via the permit processing
only equipment authorized by Federal, State, County and/or City regulations
will be installed. Doubled walled tanks are required as are vapor recovery
systems. Compliance with all applicable regulations will mitigate impacts.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING VARIANCE APPLICATION

IDENTIFICATION SIGN IN A 15' HIGHWAY SETBACK
AREA AND AUTHORIZING A FREE-STANDING BUILDING
WITHIN THE REQUIR£D SIDEYARD SETBACK~AREA FOR
THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 13918-13922 NEWPORT
AND 1016-1022 BONITA AVENUE.
?
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby re~olve as
$ follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application, (Variance No. 87-04) has been filed
on behalf of Southern Counties Oil Company' to requesing
authorization to place a business identification sign in the
required 15' highway setback area and to place a free-standing
120 square foot building on the required sideyard setback area.
B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said
application.
C. That establishment, maintenance, and operation of the use
applied for will not, under the circumstances of this case,
be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or
general welfare of the persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of such proposed use, evidenced by the following
17 findings:
]8 1. The uses applied for are consistent with Commercial land use
and zoning regulations imposed upon the property by the
Tustin Area General Plan and the Tustin Zoning Ordinance.
20 2. That granting of a Variance for the free-standing sign will
not constitute a grant of special privilages and that
because of circumstances in the area, denial of the request
would deprive the subject property privilages enjoyed by
other properties in the immediate vicinity. These
conditions meet requirements at Section 9471 of the Sign
Code authorizing the Planning Commission to grant Variances.
3. That because of the long and narrow shape of the lot and
because of the unusual circumstance of a mid-block public
alley being adjacent to the property, sufficient grounds are
present to grant a Variance all'owing a 120 square foot
structure to be located within the sideyard setback area.

RECOI~ENDATION:
Approve Use Permit No. 87-15 by the adoption of Resolution No. 2418 and approve
Variance No. 87-3 by the adoption of Resolution No. 2419.
SUR~RY:
Applicant proposes to remodel and expand an existing restaurant at 205 E1Camino
Real and is requesting a Variance of the Zoning Code related to parking
requirements in the C-2 (Central Commercial) District and the City's
non-conforming use ordinance to permit nine (9) instead of the. required 35
parking spaces.
The requested Conditional Use Permit would authorize an Alcoholic Beverage
License for on-site consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with the
proposed restaurant use.
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of E1 Camtno Real. and
Second Street. The site is in the C-2 Central Commercial Zoning District, the
E1 Camino Real Specific Plan Area and the Town Center Redevelopment Project
Area and is bordered by the following uses: on the east "Assistance League of
Ls Tustin; on the north "Right Nay Cleaners"; on the south "Tusttn Plumbing
upplies"; and on the west, across E1 Camino Real, "Tustin Meat Company".

VARIANCE 87-03:
The City Council, at a regular meeting on November 18, 1985 approved Variance
No. 85-5 to allow fo~ expansion of an existing non-co~forming restaurant from 65
to 95 s~ats. The non-conforming section of the Zoning Code states that a
non-conforming structure can not be expanded without complying with current
provisions of the Zoning Code. Variance 85-5 required no parking for the 63
existing seats in the restaurant, 11 on-site parking spaces were required to be
provided for an additional 30 seats in the restaurant based on current parking
requirements in the Code.'
Applicant at this time does not wish to proceed with the previously approved
site plan but is instead proposing a revised site plan with a new parking lot
design and outdoor dining area. The proposed remodel, however, will still also
include: a) interior and exterior cosmetic improvements; b) demolition and
reconstruction of the rear portion of the building; c) installation of upgraded
kitchen facilities, including heating and air conditioning systems; d)
resurfacing and restriping of a rear parking lot; and e) new landscaping.
As revised the project would provide 103 restaurant seats to be serviced by nine
(9) parking spaces at the rear of the building. Current parking requirements of
the Zoning Code would require 35 parking spaces for all 103 seats. The previous
Variance 85-5 required no parking for 65 seats in the restaruant (the ~umber of
seats in the original restaurant). Based on the precedent set by this previous
City action, staff would recommend that 65 of the restaurant seats, for the
revised project be authorized without providing 22 required parking spaces and
that parking be provided for the additional 38 seats at current City standards:
For the balance of 38 restaurant seats, 13 parking spaces would be required.
While site constraints limit the applicant's ability to provide more than nine
(9) parking spaces on the subject site, the potential popularity of Ruby's Cafe
would indicate that as much 'parking as possible should be provided. Staff
would, therefore, suggest that at least four (4) additional parking spaces in
addition to the proposed nine (9) on-site spaces be provided off-site or that
the applicant reduce the number of additional seats in the restauran~ to 27 for
a total of 92 seats.
Authority for permitting off-site parking is provided by the E1 Camino Real
Specific Plan which allows for:
- Exemptions from requirements for on-site parking for either existing
restaurant or new addition if private off-site spaces can be acquired
within 300 feet and proof is supplied in the form of a long term
lease; and
- Exemptions from requirements for on-site parking for either existing
restaurant or additions, if property is i~cluded in a "Parking
Improvement District.

The applicant has not bee6 successful in establishing a long term lease with
adjacent property owners, but he is aware that payments can be made into the
Parking improvement District in order to lease the additional 'four {4) parking
spaces requested by staff. While the applicant has i~dicated an unwillingness
to lease such spaces from the District, the costs for the lease of four (4)
spaces would be relatively minor as shown below:
Term Cost of Leasing 4 Space~
First Year · $1,200.O0/year
Second Year $1,500.O0/year
Third Year $1,800.O0/year
Fourth Year $2,100.O0/year
Fifth Year $2,400.O0/year
Staff would recommend Variance 87-3 allowing 103 seats in the restaurant subject
to applicant and City Council approval of a contract for the lease of (4)
additional parking spaces in the City parking structure or elsewhere within 300
feet of the site. Otherwise, a maximum of only 92 seats for the restaurant
would be recommended. This recommendation is consistent with Variance 85-5 in
that parking for all seats beyond the previously existing 65 seats would be
provided.
USE PERMIT 87-15
Applicant has also applied for authorization to sell beer and wine in
conjunction with the proposed restadrant remodel. Although the project location
and its distance from the other outlets and sensitive uses is not a requirement
for on-site alcoholic beverage consumption, the following distances fron
sensitive uses are provided for information only:
Distance Requirement Proposed Distance
100 feet from residential 150 feet
300 feet from other outlets 400 feet :
600 feet from schools 1,600 feet
churches 800 feet
hospitals .2,640 feet
Staff recommends that alcoholic beverage sales establishment guidelines be
incorporated into the conditions of approval for this application with two minor
exceptions. Resolution No. 239§ of the Planning Commission, which set
gu.idelines for review of alcoholic beverage establishments recommended that no
outdoor seating or "bar type" seating be allowed. The outdoor dining area is
proposed to be surrounded by a piperail fence and will be isolated with a 6'0"
high block wall along the adjacent property line, screened with planters and
will comply with Alcoholic Beverage Control requirements. Staff would have no
major issue with the outdoor dining area provided more. adequate solid 'enclosed
screening is provided.

The interior dining layout indicates a bar type setting area which, is actuaqly
not a bar but a dining, counter and extension of the dining area. Beer and wine
will not be exclusively served at this location.
Other standard conditions recommended in the attached resolution include such
items as:
1. All alcoholic beverages shall be consumed on site.
2. Authorization for -on-site sales of beer and wine/liquor sales is
contingent upon the use of the subject site remaining a restaurant. At
such time the restaurant use is discontinued the use permit becomes null
and void.
3. All persons serving alcoholic beverages must be eighteen years of age or
older and supervised by someone twenty-one years of age of older.
Supervisor shall be present in same area as point of sale.
4. Hours of operation are' limited to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
(hours are identified depending on the type of operation). Food-must be
served during these hours.
5. The menu of the restaurant shall consist of foods that are prepared on the
premises.
6. There shall be no pool tables or coin operated games on the premises at
any time.
7. All persons selling alcoholic beverages shall be at least ~ig~teen years
of age or older and shall be supervised by someone twenty-one years of age
or older.
The project complies with the distance requirements established by Zoning
Ordinance Amendment No. 87-1 and staff has incorporated the alcoholic beverage
sales establishment guidelines, with minor modifications into the proposed
resolution. Based upon the conformance with the distance requirements and the
incorporation of the alcoholic beverage sales guidelines staff recommends
approval for this request.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND LANDSCAPING
The proposed architectural design of the project will have the following
features:

with the Old Town Area and it is likely to bring back the flavor of the famous
old Ruby's.

OWNER: RED HILL LUTHERAN CHURCH
LOCATION: 13200 RED HILL AVENUE
ZONING: PUBLIC AND XNSTII~ITIONAL (P & I) DISTRICT
ENVIRONMENTAL
STATUS: CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT
.... REQUEST: AUTHORIZATION TO ADB 2,100 SQUARE FEET OF STORAGE SPACE IN A
BASEMENT
RECOI~IENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Amendment No. I to Use
Permit 87-7 by'the adoption of Resolution No. 2422.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The Red Hill Lutheran Church was annexed into the City in 1977. The church is
located at 13200 Red Hill Avenue and is zoned Public and Institutional.
Since the annexation to the City, several actions have been taken by the
Planning Commission as the church expanded. Those actions are' summarized as
follows:
1. Use Permit 79-20 authorizing a church school at the subject location.
2. Use Permit 79-28 authorizing addition of 8,500 square feet of classroom
space and expanding maximum student enrollment to 400 students.
3. Use Permit 87-7 authorizing addition of 3,500 square feet of administrative
office space to the existing church.
- The subject site is a 4.62 acre parcel bordered by the following uses: on the
~orth and east by single family residential subdivisions; on the south by an
~range County Flood Control Channel and abandoned railroad right-of-way; and on
he west across Red Hill Avenue by single family development.
Community Development Department
lannlng Commission Report
.,~ndment No. 1/Use Permtt 87-7
July 27, 1987
Page two
Amendment No. 1-to Use. Permit 87-7 proposes that 2,100 square feet be added'to
the church for storage use only. Presently there are 23[ parking spaces
provided on the parcel which are considered sufficiefft for all uses authorized
on the site. As such, the addition will not increase parking demand on-site.
Further, since the proposal is to construct a basement, discussion of
architectural issues is not relevent to this application. Since the 9roposed
basement will be constructed underground, the exterior elevations for the
approved office area will not change.
In terms of the surrounding area, the addition is relatively small, will be an
incidental use, and will not be visible, ensuring compatibility with adjacent
properties. WithlnO adverse impacts to adjacent properties anticipated, staff,
therefore recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to Use Permit 87-7 by the
adoption, of Resolution No. 2422.

14161 NEWPORT AVENUE,'UNITS C & D
TUSTIN~ CALIFORNIA 92680
ZONING: C-1 RETAIL COMMERCIAL
ENVIRONMENTAL
STATUS: CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT, CLASS 11
REQUEST: TO INSTALL A FOUR (4) SQUARE FOOT CAN TYPE SXGN USING NEON
TUBING DESIGN
RECO~ENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission deny the design of the neon sign
by Minute Order.
BACKGROUND:
On June 29, 1987 the Planning Commission authorized installation of a
mini-market and off-site beer and wine sales license for a Greek specialty
market called Saba's Market. As part of their advertising campaign, the
applicant has proposed to install a four (4) square foot under marquee sign
{perpendicular to the building). Since the proposed sign includes the use of
neon tubing, Section 9444 (i) of the Sign Code, requires appproval by the
Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS:
As proposed, the sign includes various colors and design elements. These
include:
- typical sign can construction
- dark green background with white "SABA'S" letters
- blue neon trim around white "SABA'S' letters
- red vinyl letters applied over white plexiglass for "MARKET"
- a clear plexiglass cover over thle "SABA'S" portion of the sign
A detailed drawing (Exhibit A) of the proposed sign is attached for further
clarification of these elements.
Community Developmenl Deparlmen~
~lanning Commission Report
Saba's Neon Sign
July 27, 1987
Page two
When considering requests for sign permits, compatibility with surroundfng
structures and signs musk be considered. In this case, there 'are several sign
types in %he center, including wooden, sand blasted.signs and typical can signs
with opague plexiglass faces.
As an alternative to the neon trim, a plexiglass face with white letters and a
blue background could be used to match the sign type of Fujishio Japanese
restaurant and the center monument sign. A proposed lay out of this alternative
is attached (Exhibit B) for consideration.
In addition to this four (4) square foot sign, Saba's Market will also be
allowed to place, a sign in the center monument directory. This is a right
granted to all tenants in the center and will give Saba's street visibility.
CONCLUSION:
Staff considers the alternative sign shown on Exhibit B to be more compatible
with the shopping center while still allowing an illuminated sign for the
applicant. With this alternative, compatible elements can be used and the
applicant will maintain the desired lighted sign concept.
