A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN
APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW 03-008 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 03-007
AUTHORIZING ESTABLISHMENT OF A GARDEN CENTER WITH A 6,400
SQUARE FOOT BUILDING AND 41,007 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR SALES
AREA AND THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES WITH APPROVAL
OF A PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
That a proper application for Design Review 03-008 and Conditional Use
Permit 03-007 was filed by TJS Architects on behalf of John A. and Mary
M. Prescott L.P. requesting authorization to establish an Armstrong
Garden Center with a 6,400 square foot building and 41,007 square feet
of outdoor sales area and the required number of parking spaces
through approval of a parking demand analysis located at 505 El Camino
Real (Parcel 1 of Tentative Parcel Map 2003-131).
That the proposed use is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that
the property is designated as "Old Town Commercial" which provides
for the establishment of commercial uses. In addition, the project has
been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-Element of the
City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent
with the Air Quality Sub-Element.
The project is located within the Industrial "Central Commercial" zoning
district where retail uses are permitted and outdoor sales are
conditionally permitted in accordance with Section 9233c of the Tustin
City Code.
Do
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on July 14, 2003, by the Planning Commission.
Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of the proposed development will not impair the
orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or future
development therein, or the occupancy as a whole in that the building
location, height, massing, and scale, and the proposed architectural
design and site amenities as conditioned would be compatible with the
setting and similar to other commercial uses in the area. In making
such findings, the Commission has considered at least the following
items:

Height, bulk, and area of buildings;
Setbacks and site planning;
Exterior materials and colors;
Type and pitch of roofs;
Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings;
Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flagpoles, radio and television
antennae;
Location, height, and standards of exterior illumination;
Landscaping, parking area design, and traffic circulation;
Location and appearance of equipment located outside an
enclosed structure;
Location and method of refuse storage;
Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures
in the neighborhood;
Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures and possible future structures in the
neighborhood and public thoroughfares;
Proposed signage; and,
Development guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City
Council.
The proposedo,~,~,L,~,,-'~-'='=-'~ project complies with the development
standards and requirements of Central Commercial (C-2) zoning district
with the exception of parking for which a parking demand analysis has
been submitted.
The study is based on parking demand for existing Armstrong Garden
Centers, which concludes that forty-four (44) parking spaces would be
needed to satisfy the parking demand during the peak hours. The City's
Senior Project Manager of Transportation has accepted the study's
methodology as complete and accurate. Any change to the hours of
operation or operational standards may require a new parking demand
analysis as deemed necessary by the City's Traffic Engineer.
As conditioned, no on-site turn around for delivery trucks would be
permitted. Trucks entering the site would need to be informed of the
exiting routes to minimize interference with customer circulation. The
hours of truck deliveries may be limited, if deemed necessary by staff.
The proposed location and design of the proposed building, as
conditioned, would acc~,~ i~h ~h~ .... ~ ......... ' -' ..... ~"" ......
_~.~A __.~ .... of ,,.A -:'-o,--'~,~ be consistent with goals and policies of
the Tustin General Plan as related to Old Town Tustin and the "Visions

Town Tustin.
Resolution No. 3881
Page 3
As conditioned, the proposed project will not have a negative effect on
the surrounding properties or impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development, or the
occupancy, or community as a whole since:
The location, height, massing, and scale, and architectural
design of the building and the outdoor sales area will be
complementary to the existing buildings in Old Town Tustin.
I
The proposed outdoor sales areas are complementary to the
building design and would enhance the aesthetics of the site. ~
The proposed lighting is complementary to the building design
and would not be obtrusive to the adjoining neighbors. As
conditioned, adequate security lighting would be provided within
the site and along El Camino Real during the non-operating
hours of the garden center.
pede~tr:,~ $~fety ........ · "- .... "' ....... f th- -:'-
That the establishment of the proposed garden center with outdoor
sales, under the circumstances of this case, will not be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be injurious or
detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the
subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that:
As proposed, the hours of operation are compatible with the
commercial and residential uses in proximity to the site. In addition,
the proposed site for the garden center is separated by ninety (90)
feet from residential uses to the east and more than 220 feet from
residential uses to the south.

As conditioned, the driveway aprons for the ...... -'-: ......... o,~
