RECOI~ENDATZON
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve the site plan and
architectural design of a proposed self-service, commercial fuel facility
to be located on contiguous parcels located at 13918-13922 Newport and
1016-1022 Bonita.
SU~ARY
For approximately the last 57 years, Southern Counties 0tl 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.
Presently, Southern Counties Oil 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's Saddlery for this purpose.
On July 27, 1987 the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 87-14 and
Variance 87-4 authorizing the commercial fuel facility as well as
deviations from certain setback requirements. Resolutions approving these
actions with supporting staff report are included with this report.
The subject site is located within the South Central Redevelopment Project
Area and as such Redevelopment Agency approval of the project's overall
design is required by the Redevelopment Plan.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
General - 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 lon9 and
narrow 0.31 acre site in the C-1 Retail Commercial Zonin9 District. The
Redevelopment Agency Report
Destgn Review 87-23/Southern Counties 0tl

subject site Is bounded on the east by a restdentlal structure, on the
south by a retat] shopptng center across Bonita, to the north by an
abandoned service statfon, and to the west across Newport Avenue by
commercla] uses wlthtn the Tustfn Plaza Project.
Site improvements proposed on the subject property will tnclude t~o pump
islands, a 10 foot landscaping strtp along the street frontage of Newport
and Bonita, a 120 square foot control butldlng at the southeast corner of
the property, an eight (8) foot block wall along the easterly property
11ne, a lO0 foot landscape buffer tn front of the wall, and a freestanding
buslness Identification sign in the required street yard setback.
Consistent wfth current gufdellnes for self-serving servfce stations, three
standard sized parking spaces are also proposed adjacent to the easterly
property line.
Site plan - Of matn concern with the site layout is circulation and
access. Given the configuration of the stte and constraints posed by a
median Island on Newport Avenue, a one-way ctrculatlon pattern
proposed. Yehfcular movements will be restricted to entering the site from
Newport Avenue and exiting onto Bonfta to avotd truck traffic on Bonita
vehtcles wfll be requtred to turn right upon exttfng. Pump tslands have
been moved as far north as possible and the proposed control butldlng 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 Nowport Avenue. These concerns can be addressed in the following
manner. First, 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, as required 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. Even though
this improvement will result in a smoother turning radius and will allow
greater visibility to drivers turning onto Bonita, the applicant intends
upon requesting that the City Council waive the dedication requirement.
The applicant also has indicated that only 30~ of vehicles served are large
trucks.

Redevelopment Agency Report
Design Review 87-23/Southern Counties 0fl Site
August 3, 1987
Page three
Finally, the Planning Commission has requested that trucks be serviced
in the future at an alternate site which the applicant intends to purchase
elsewhere in the city and completed construction of a servicing facility
but- not to exceed 18 months. Extensions of time may be granted by the
Commission. 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 18 months
and/or until completion of an alternative facility, staff recommends
approval of the requested use and temporary circulation recommended.
Architectural Destgn -In terms of architecture the only structures
proposed on the site are a 120 square foot equipment control building, an 8
foot block wall, and a trash enclosure. The unattended control building
shown near the southeast corner of the property is proposed to be setback
5'8" from the easterly properly line. The C-1 District requires a minimum
10' setback at this location. Variance 87-4, the Planning Commission
authorized this location in lieu of the C-1 requirement to provide for
maximum vehicular circulation on site. To be compatible with the
surrounding area, the applicant proposes the use of stucco and spanish tile
on the control building. Staff also recommends the use of revels on
control building in a pattern similar to the Tustin Plaza Project. It is
recommended that the stucco finish be the same as applied to Tusttn Plaza:
a plaster and trowel finish. The same finish and detail is to be applied
to the adjacent trash enclosure. Final colors and revel details should be
subject to review and approval of the Director of Community Development.
As to the block wall, it is recommended that the same finish material,
color, and revel detail used on the control building be applied to the
wall. This will ensure internal consistency and compatibility on the
site. Both sides of the wall should be plastered. The purpose of the
eight foot wall in lieu of the standard 6'8" height is to provide a sight
and sound buffer between the proposed use and adjacent residential units.
Landscaping - The Newport Avenue frontage has been provided with a ten (10)
foot landscape area that is very compatible with the Primrose project
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. This treatment is consistent with
adopted landscape guidelines. As approved by the Planning Commission the
landscape plan calls for the use of 15 gallon eucalyptus trees on-site with
the exception of 24" box size to be located at entry points.

1. The project site plan indicates an eight (8) foot block wall along ~he
easterly propert~ line. A Conditional Use Permit is required for any wall
above 6'8" in height.
2. The free-standing control building is located within th~ required
stdeyard 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 ~ncroachment of overhead canopies in the front and side
yard setbacks. However, after discussions between staff and the applicant, this
portion of the application wa.s 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.
~owever, separate formal actions by the commission will be required on each
component.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Seneral - 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-! 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 into 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
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.

July 27, 1987

Condlttona? Use *Permit.87-14 is a request to authorize the subject use and the
proposed eight (8) foot wall. Vartance 87-04 would authortze,'placement of the
proposed ~tgn and control building wtthtn required setback areas.
Circulatlon and Access: -Gtven the configuration of the stte 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 sfte from
Newport Avenue and extttng onto Bontta. Pump islands have been moved as far
north as'possible and the proposed control bu~ldfng has been moved to the
southeast to accommodate stacking of vehicles, particularly larger trucks.
Whtle the proposed circulation pattern Is the best alternative available given
existing constraints, there may still be potential impediments to free f~owlng
trafftc on Bonita. In the event that an extting truck would not be able to
complete'a maneuver in to the appropriate traffic lane, trafftc turning onto
Bonita from Newport Avenue could be obstructed.
While there has been expressed concern about truck movements onto Bontta and
tlong Newport Avenue. These concern can be addressed in the following manner.
Ftrst, traffic counts onto Bonita are relatively low. Whtle prectse counts are
not available, the residential nature of local streets, and the lack of a
traffic signal generally result in lower vehicular trtps. Secondly, ~s Tequlred
by Ctty ordinance and recomaended by the Public Works Department, additional
right-of-way and Improvement w111 be required on the southeast corner of Bonita'
and Newport Avenue. This improvement wtl~' result in a smoother turning radius
and w111 allow greater visibility tO drivers turning onto 8oni. ta. Finally, the
applicant has indicated that only 30~ of vehicles served are large trucks.
Additionally, it is anticipated that within approximately one year, trucks wtl~
no longer be servtced at the subject locatfons. Instead, these vehicles will be
servlced at the larger industrial location the applicant intends to purchase.
Therefore, with the phystcal conditions of traffic counts and the new curb and
radius in mtnd, 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.
:
[t should be noted that the applicant ts not in favor of dedicating additional
right-of-way at the corner of Newport and 8onita. However, the Planntn~
Commission does not have discretion in this matter and any waiver of
right-of-way requirements can only be approved by the Cfty Council.

Landscaptn~ - The Newpqrt Avenue frontage has been provided with a ten (lO) fbot
landscape area that is very compatible with the Primrose project 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 [5 gallon size
as opposed to required 24" box. Additionally, the~e 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 [5
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-standin) Control Buildtn~ - 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-[ 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 tha 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 St~n - 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, applicants that wish
to place signs in street setback areas must first obtain a Variance.

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 witfl Section 9471 of the S~gn
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 building. 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
Tusttn 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 tile 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
~irector of Community Development.
CONCL~SIO#:
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
