1. Purpose and Intent=
The CI District establishes me%ke~e and e~andeeds wke~eby an incentive
in the form of an increased number of dwelling units e~ · b~iid*n§ siee
san be ~een~ed when problems of arterial access, structural
obsolescence, and incumpatibility of land use with traffic and noise
conditions are corrected by e residential development which, through
merger or consolidation of contiguous parcels of irregular shape
produces an integrated development project providing an environment of
stable, desirabIe character which will be in harmony with existing and
potential development of the surrounding neighborhood.
The incentives of this district are intended to encourage the merger or
consolidation of contiguous parcels of irregular shape in order to
create a building site of a size whereby the land may be developed
utilizing design features which take advantage of modern residential
site planning techniques.
The regulations of this district are intended to produce residential
planned development projects which meet standards of open space, light
and air, and density of land use which provide for better use of common
areas, open space and off-street parking facilities, and provide for
safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation. These
regulations are intended to be utilized only for integrated residential
planned development projects on building sites resulting frc~ merger or
consolidation of parcels and ehe~id shall not be utilized for the
establishment of individual residential uses or structures.

1. Purpose and Intent:
The CI District establishes an incentive in the form of an increased
number of dwelling units when problems of arterial access, structural
obsolescence, and incompatibility of land use with t~affic and noise

merger or consolidation of contiguous parcels of irregular shape
produces an integrated development project providing an environment of
stable, desirable character which will be in harmony with existing and
potential development of the surrounding neighborhood.
The incentives of this district are intended to encourage the merger or
consolidation of contiguous parcels of irregular shape in order to
create a building site of a size whereby the land may be developed
utilizing design features which take advantage of modern residential
site planning techniques.
The regulations of this district are intended to produce residential
plahned development projects which meet standards of open space, light
and air, and density of land use which provide for better use of common
areas, open space and off-street parking facilities, and provide for
safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation. These
regulations are intended to be utilized only for integrated residential
planned development projects on building sites resulting from merger or
consolidation of parcels and shall not be utilized for the establishment
of individual residential uses or structures.

County General Plan shall be implemented through the schedule of
permitted dwelling units established in the site development standards

SUBJKCT~ North Tustin Specific Plan Amendment 86-1
COBTA~PKRSOH: Narti Guerra Naram (X5374)
~GROUI~
The Board of Supervisors adopted the North Tustin Specific Plan (NTSP) by
Resolution Number 82-1469 and Ordinance Number 3348 on September 29, 1982.
Amendment 86-1 to the NTSP was authorized by the Board of Supervisors by
Ninute Order dated December 10, 1985. This directive responded to a'request
by the North Tustin Nunicipal Advisory Council (NT~AC) that certain revisions
in the specific plan development regulations be considered. Further, in
processing chanses to the resulations, EHA staff from the Project Planning
and the Current Planning and Development Assistance Divisions have
incorporated changes to standardize the format and processing requirements
of the plan in response to your Commission's action of November 19, 1985.
Attachment 1 is a Location Hap and Attachment 2 is the Land Uae and
Development Regulations Nap which is included for information only. No
map changes are proposed by this amendment. Attachment 3 s~wn~arizes the
major modifications proposed to the Land Use and Development Regulations.
Attachment 4 contains the complete Land Use and Development Regulations
with revisions annotated.
STABDARDIZATIOH TO ZOHING CODE AHD STu~A)~IJFIE OF LAHDUSE ~m,ATIOBS:
Procedures for discretionary permits are currently specified within the
NTSP itself. The proposed amendment removes most of Chis unique language
in favor of Zoning Code Section 7-9-150. l~here the NTSP required specific
information for a permit, or was otherwise unique, the NTSP language has
been retained.
The Specific Plan Land Use and Development Regulations currently allow
outright uses c~only requiring discretionary permits. Treatment of these
uses is proposed to be standardized to conform to the Zoning Code. The
result will be that uses such as educational institutions, places of worship,
large multi-family projects, etc., will require use permits in the districts
where they are allowed.
Attachment 7
-2-
Co~-~unity care facilities serving six or fewer persons are added as Principal
Permitted Uses in the RSF, Residential Single Family ~nd the RI~F, Residential
Hulti-Family Districts, and those serving seven to 12 persons are added,
subject to a use permit in the RSF and-the ~ Districts. This addition
cgnfor~s to State law and the Zoning Code. Additionally, selected Site
Development Standards have been modified to accomplish the standardization
noted above.
The PD Planned Development District, a NTSP overlay district, has been
deleted and replaced by the comparable overlay District in the Zoning Code.
PD requirements unique to the NTSP are identified in appropriate sections
of the RSF and ~ District .Regulations. In/addition, all references to
Landscaping and Buffering, Signs and Building Orientation and Character
have been rearranged and placed in new chapters (Chapters 5, 6 and 7).
Relevant Zoning Code sections are referenced in the Landscaping and Buffering
and Sign chapters as well.
]OkiaTUSTIRNUNICIPAL ADVISORY CO~CI.L
A letter from the NTHAC, dated October 25, 1985, requesting certain revisions
in the NTSP is contained in Attachment 5. The issues were addressed both
by changes in the specific plan and by the process of standardization to
the Zoning Code described above. The following is a su,~ary of the changes
m-de in response to the letter (references are to the items numbered in
the letter).
1. Items 1 and 4, These were addressed by: 1) allowing Educational
insti£utions and public and private utility structures only by
discretionary permit (pursuant to the Zoning Code) rather than as
Principal Permitted Uses in the RSF and RI~ Districts; 2) deleting
horticulture of all types as a Principal Permitted Use in the R$¥
District; and 3) deleting general farming and agriculture in the
District.
Item 2 was addressed by allowing aquine animals only subject to the
provisions of the Zoning Code.
3. Item 3 was addressed by deleting provisions for temporary stands for
the sale of horticultural products in the RSF District.
4. Item 5 was addressed by requiring a 25' setback along a Planned Unit
Development where it abuts a single family development.
5. Item 6 was addressed by changing the rear setback in the GO, Garden
Office District, from 35' to 45'. This change addresses what the NT~IAC
feels is an apparent error which occurred when the NTSP was printed.
6. Item 7 related to wall heights was addressed by adding a reference to
Zoning Code Section 7-9-137.5, Chart 198(b).
7. Item 8: Ail i~ tified discrePencies between he NTSP Land Use Map
and existing cond~ions were found to be non-conforminS uses which existed
prior CO adoption of the ~pecific plan.

Project Sugary -
The proposed North Tustin Specific Plan (NTSP) Amendment 86-1 incor orates
changes in the regulatory language for the Residential Single Famil'
Residential Hultiple Family (RNF), Planned Development Overlay (PD)' and
Garden Office Overlay (GO) Districts and related exhibits, plus incqrporation
of Discretionary Permits a~d Procedures per Section 7-9-150 o£ the Orange
County Zoning Code. Other changes will be made in order to be in conformance
with the O. C. Zoning Code format. The proposed amendment will ser~e
to
strengthen regulations by requiring discretionary permits currently~,not required
for some uses. These changes to the NTSP will not result in a significant
impact on the environment.
