Mary Ann Chamberlain presented staff's report as contained in Report to Planning
Commission dated December 10, 1984.
Chair,~an White opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. and the following people spoke:
Martin Schwartz, owner of 175 Yorba, asked a few questions and differed with staff on
the age of the buildings on the street. He also felt the granting of this variance
would encourage the property owner to do something with the property that is not to
the benefit of the city.
Bill Groob, Contractor, explained that Mr. Brown is in the hospital tonight and
could not be here. They are asking that the lot be changed to allow an additional
400 sq. feet lot coverage.

Commissioner Sharp questioned if Mr. Brown plans to live in the house and clarified
that Mr. Brown owns the property on the corner of Pacific and Main, and his mother
owns the house next door.
Mr. Groob responed that he did.
Commission discussion ensued concerning the architecture destgn plan and the
interior. They questioned the fact that Mr. Brown would travel through the garage
and a shop to get to the rumpus room and he plans to install an elevator.
Commissioner McCarthy further expressed concern that tt appears the building is being
designed for commercial use rather than residential. And, pointed out that on that
side pf the Street this would be the only two story structure.
Seeing no one further wishing to speak, Cbartman White closed the public hearing at
7:48 p.m. Commissioner Well moved, Puckett second to continue to January 14, lg85 to
allow Mr. Brown to recuperate and comment to the Planning Commission at their next

Authorization to construct a storage facility with on-site

and side yard setback requirements of the zone.
Mary Ann Cham6erlatn, Associate Planner .... ::'il.i
Mary Ann presented staff's report as contained in Report to Planning Commission dated
December 10, 1984.
Commissioner McCarthy questioned if the land along the Santa Aha Freeway is dedicated
to Caltrans. Mary Ann responded yes, Caltrans is proposing to take ten feet. He has
shown a 25 foot setback for the rear so when they take the ten feet there will still
be 15 feet and will be up to code.
Chairman White opened the public hearing at 8:01 p.m. The following person spoke:
Bill Hughes, applicant, agreed with the staff report and answered the Commission's
questions.
Commissioner Wetl questioned the reason for a Variance on the easterly side. Mr.
Hughes responded that it is dead space. The building has to be sprinkled and so they
don't have to provide fire access, so the closer the two buildings are, the better.
Chairman White clarified that this is in fact a Variance and stated he could find a
hardship based upon the constraints on the westerly side of project requiring larger
than normal setbacks and consequently, less land.
Seeing no one further wishing to speak, Chairman White closed the public hearing at
8:15 p.m
Mtnutes
Planning Commission December 10,1984
page three
Commissioner Wetl rebutted Chairman White's assessment that there is a hardship. She
feels it is a self Inflicted hardship in that they are using the lot with knowledge
of our standards. Unless we change the 3 foot standard, we should stick with the
standard.
Co,,m, lssioner McCarthy questioned and Mary Ann ~esponded that the adjoining property
has a variance and also has a 6 inch sideyard setback.
Commissioner Well expressed further concern with granting variances based on a
previous variance.
Lyle Foster, owner of Foster property, explained the variance was granted because
they intended to buy the adjoining land and continue their building to the west. The
footings in the building were built with the assumption a variance would be granted
for this piece of property so they could Join the two buildings. But, due to
inheritance taxes they are forced to sell the property. He feels that if anything,
these two buildings should be joined rather than have a foot of space between them.
Mr. Hughes further explained that a hardship could be income. They have an on-site
caretaker's residence and they need square footage to cover operating expenses as
well as fixed expenses. There is a reason to have a setback when it benefits the
community but when you have an existing building on the lot line it doesn't benefit
the community.
Commissioner Puckett questioned the type of wall protecting the space between the two
buildings.
Commission discussion ensued concerning the size of space. Mostly they favored six
inches because there would be less of an undesirable area and it would act as a sound
attenuation wall for the restdetial area from the freeway.
Commissioner Sharp asked the City Attorney if.there are sufficient findings in
Resolution 2201 to protect us with a variance consideration on the basis of
hardshi-p~ ~ '~ ~ * '" ~
Suzanne said it is a little weak. Chairman White determined a hardship exists
because of the excessive width on the west side of the property for the 40 foot
encumbrance. If he has a right to do three feet normally, but the property is
burdened with a setback, it would appear to be a setback. It puts you at a
competitive disadvantage when you try to sell the property and develop it, you don't
get the full utilization and square footage out of it.
Commissioner Sharp moved, McCarthy second to approve Use Permit 84-27 and continue
Resolution 2201 to the next meeting to allow staff to find sufficient findings to
allow a variance due to hardship. Motion carried 4-1 (Well opposed)

Mary Ann C~amberlatn, Associate Planner
Mary Ann presented staff's report as contained, in Report to Planning Commission dated
December 10, 1984. She pointed out the applicant requested item 2.B. of Resolution
2202 be amended to reflect separate sanitary sewer services, domestic water services
and any required fire service shall be provided to each parcel. Council policy has
been that every parcel have it's own sewer. Per the letter request from Mr. Bell,
they are requesting they record a covenant with the map which would provide for
upkeep and continued maintenance of the system as well as for the parking and drive
surfaces and also provide for reciprocal rights for ingress, egress parking. This
covenant would run in perpetuity with the land. He would like to be exempt from
taking out one sewer which services both buildings.

2. FRONT YARD SLrTBACX;
3. #AXII4UR LOT COVERAGE.
BACKGROUND: .'
The application before the Commission ts a request to construct a stngle famtly
residence on a R-1 lot replacing a home destroyed by f~re. The subject stte ts
located tn an older residential area of the community and does not meet the
mlntmum 'lot stze for the district. Thts circumstance ts not a major tssue tn
that Sectton 9271q of the Ctty Code provtdes that stngle famtly d~e111ngs only
may be constructed on any parcels of substandard area. However, the proposed
project ts deflctent tn lot width,front yard setback, and maxtmum lot coverage
requirements.
ISSU[ ANALYSIS:
Lot Htdth
The subject parcel has a lot wtdth of only 50 feet When the dtstrtct requirement
ts 60 feet. The granttng of a vartance wtth thts requirement ts Justifiable
tn that dental would deprive the property o, ner privileges enjoyed by others tn
the vicinity. As such the approval of a vartance would not constitute a grant
of spectal privilege.
Front Yard Setback
As shown on the stte plan the structure ts setback 30 feet froa the property
11ne. However, development of thJs project requtres an Irrevocable offer of
dedication of lS feet of frontage that would be uttllzed for future wtdentng of
Yorba..Therefore, the front setback ts only 15 feet. Mtntmum requirement ts 20
feet .
Community Development Department
Planntng Commission Report
Yartance 84-4
page two
Although the offer of dedication ts required, tt ts unltkely that Yorba wtll be
widened in the tmmedtata future.
Also, locattng the structure as Indicated on the stte plan would place tt
approximately in 11ne with the extsttng structures on the street. Agatn,
grenttng a vartance wi.th thts dtstrtct requirement ts justifiable when
considering existing conditions of the vicinity. ·
Maximum Lot Coverage
Unltke the prevtous two tssues, maxtmum lot coverage is of concern. The
applicant ts proposing a 2,800 square foot butldtng foOtprint constituting a 47%
lot coverage. The maxtmum lot coverage allowed by the R-! district is 40%.
Further, the 47% calculation does not take Into account the 15 foot dedication
a]ong Yorba.
If the loss o'f the Z$ feet ts considered,the actual lot coverage would be
Staff has noted that there is no major -problem with butldtng setback variance,
and therefore would suggest the developer be permitted to use his entire
property. However,' there is no circumstance present that justifies the granting
of a variance to the maximum lot coverage of that property. The butldtng foot
print should be reduced to 2,400 square feet. ..
Architectural Review ·
An issue aside from the variance proceedings, is that of architectural review.
The architectural design of this project is a departure from the established
style prevalent in the area. Specifically, the proposed house is two
stories,while all others on the block are one story bungalow type structures
approximately 40 years old. An excellent example of Provincial Style
architecture conducive to the area is a home situated across the street from the
subject site. ''
In accordance with Section 9272a(3)c of the City Code Eew structures are
to enhance their sites and are to be harmonious with the highest standards of
improvement for the surrounding area. Staff is concerned that the bulk and
volume of the proposed structure is excessive and should be reduced.
Archttactural treatment to the side yard elevations should be utilized to reduce
the stark appearance of the walls. Additionally, the vtsual impact'of the mass
of the front elevation should be reduced. This could be accomplished by
breaking up the symetrical configuration of the butldtng or reducing the stze of
the turret features. Proper landscaping techniques also may he used to soften
the vtsual impact. The applicant should be requtred~ to modify the proposed
elevations and return them to the Planntng Commission for review prior to
issuance of building permits.

The Planning Commission of the Ctty of Tusttn does hereby resolve as
follows:
The Planntng Commission ftnds and determines as follows:
Ae
That a proper appllcatton, (Variance No. 84-4), was filed by
Mr. William Brown requesting authorization to vary with the
requirements of the Single Family (R-l) District to permit
construction of one single family dwelling with a 15' front yard
setback and upon a lot with a substandard lot width of 50 feet
at 153 Yorba. The request also is to permit variance from the
maximum lot coverage of the district.
B. That a public hearing was duly celled, noticed and held on said
application.
Ce
That because of special-circumstances applicable to the subject
property, relative to size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, a strict application of the Zoning Ordinance is
found to deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification, evidenced by the followin9 findings:
1. The use is in conformance with the land use element of the
Tusttn Area General Plan.
2. The use is in conformance with the intent of the single
family (R-l) Residential District.
®
That development of the project with a front yard setback
of 15 feet would be consistent with the existing structural
setback of the other single family dwellings in the
vicinity.
That development of the project on a 50 foot wide lot is
consistent with the land uses on similar size lots in the
vicinity.
That the variance from lot coverage requirement will not be
authorized.
De
That the granting of a variance as herein provided will not
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district
in which the subject property is situated.

BACKGROUND:
One of the first objectives of the East Tustin Spectftc Plan process was the
preparation of background data to define the opportunities and constraints of
the subject area. One of the background report~ tncluded a marketing report
done to research the potential of residential, office, and commercial retail
uses. The report indicated a strong potential for retail and offtce uses
Immediately north of the I-5 freeway, and avery strong potential for a regtonal
car mall tn this same area.
A potential opportunity developed to process and begin construction on the auto
center on a shorter time frame than the overall East Tustin specific plan
process. The Irvtne Company requested that the auto center entitlement process
be accelerated and removed from the specific plan process; and the City agreed
to thts proposal.
The ortgtnal site was on the west stde of Jamboree Blvd., and extended as
far west as the Kathryn spur railroad tracks, approximately 800 feet east of
Browning. At that time, in order to accommodato the increased Interest tn the
auto center, the stte expanded west to Browning Avenue and encompasses slightly
over 100 acres.

As stated in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the purpose
of an Environmental Impact Report is to identify the significant effects
of a project on the environment, to identify alternatives to the project
and to indicate the manner in which each significant effect can be
mitigated or avoided. Essentially, an EIR serves the dual purpose of an
information and disclosure document, which informs governmental decision
makers, identifies ways that environmental damage can be avoided or
reduced, require changes to prevent stgntftcan~ effects and disclose to
the public the reasons why p governmental agency approved a project if
significant effects are involved.
To accomplish this set of parameters, the State has identified a series of
methods that the lead agency can use. These methods include: changing a
project; imposing conditions; choosing an alternative way; adopting plans
or ordinances; ~isapproving the project; finding that changing or altering
the project is not feasible; in the case of unavoidable impacts, a
statement of overriding considerations.
In certifying an EIR, the lead agency states that the EIR has been
completed in compliance with CEQA and that the decision making body has
reviewed and considereU 'the information in the final.EIR. This action is
taken before the decision making, body can consider project approval.
As a part of the EIR certification process, the lead agency must make
certain findings as to the disposition of each significant effect
identified in the body of the EIR. These findings can either show that
the significant effect has been avoided or substantially lessened, or is
the responsibility of another public agency, or that specific economic,
social or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or
project alternatives identified in the final EIR. For each unavoidable
environmental impact that cannot be fully mitigated, the decision-making
body can balance the benefits' of a proposed project against these
impacts. If the benefits outweigh' the avoidable adverse effects, these
adverse effects may be considered acceptable. In what is known as a
Statement of Overriding Consideration, the agency shall state in writing
the specific reasons to support its action on the final EIR. All the
findings and statements must be supported by substantial evidence in the
record.
The draft Environmental Impact Report for the Tusttn Auto Cente~ was
prepared in conformance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and .in accordance, with the CEQA guidelines.
inventories the existing environmental conditions, potential significant
environmental effects and possible mitigation measures. 'It analyzes the
cumulative impacts of the proposed project and the growth inducing
impacts. It further lays out alternatives to the proposed project.

A Notice of Preparation was submitted to affected public agencies and local
citizen groups. Citizens and local groups surrounding the auto center site
reacted negatively to the proposed location and the Company and the City held
several meetings to Outline these issues. As a result of these meetings, the
site was moved to its present location, and reduced in size to approximately
fifty (50) acres. A meeting was held with local citizen groups to present the
revised location and proposed development.
The original auto center site of 100 acres is now being proposed as a
residential project by The Irvine Company and wasalso removed from the East
Tustin Specific Plan process. A Notice of Preparation has been submitted and an
Environmental. Impact Report is being prepared for the proposed project. It is
anticipated that a public hearing will be held on the proposal within the next
few months.
APPLICATION
In order to facilitate the Tusttn Auto Center, the following actions must be
taken' in the following order:
Recommend certification of Draft Environmental Impact Report 84-2.
Recommend an amendment' to the Tustin Area General Plan'from Residential/
Single Family.to Planned Community/Commercial as shown in Exhibit A.
Recommend a change of zoning designation' from Planned Community to Planned
Community/Commercial. A set of Planned Community regulations will also be
enacted to govern the development of the auto center.
1. DRAFT E#VIRONMENTAL ])IPACT REPORT (DEIR)
The following is a synopsis of the environmental process leading up to a
public hearing. An initial environmental study was done for the proposed
project and reviewed by staff, and it was subsequently determined that an
environmental impact report was required for the subject project. The
City retained the firm of Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) to prepare
this document and at the same time prepared a Notice of Preparation and
submitted this to interested local groups along with state and local
government agencies. MBA began preparing the document and subsequently
incorporated comments from the NOP into the document. This document was
submitted to City staff for review as a "screencheck" with additional
information and revisions incorporated. This revised document Pepresented
the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) which was submitted to local
groups, state and local agenct.es, along with a Notice of Completion. The
normal review period is 45 days for a draft EIR, but the City requested
and received a thirty (30) day review. All the comments and responses
received during that review period have been enclosed along with this
staff report.. The minutes and actions of both the Planning Commission and
City Council will also be incorporated into the body of the final
environmental impact report.

governmental agencies, the City has received comments regarding the
content of the draft EIR. The City's consultant has responded to these
comments and they have been enclosed in this staff report as a part of the
record.
At each stage of the environmental process, the documents submitted for
review have represented the independent evaluation and analysis of City
staff. The consultant was retained by the City, and is answerable to City
input. The screencheck document was reviewed by staf~ and revised by the
consultant. The draft document was further reviewed by staff.
Staff recommends to the Planning Commission that Draft EIR 84-2, plus
amendments, is an acceptable document and in conformance with the
California Environmental Quality Act, State Guidelines, and the policies
of the City Council. The resolution recommending certification of this
document to the City Council has been enclosed, and a part of this
resolution is an Exhibit A which details each impact, and its finding of
signlfance. Unavoidable significant effects have been balanced with a
statement of overriding considerations.
~N~t~L. PLAN AH£NDH£NT AND ZONE CHANGE:
The initial urban designation the subject site received was in the 1973
revision to the Land Use Element, where the site was shown as
Residential/Single Family. The definition of this designation is detailed
in the land use element as a "traditional residential subdivision with
detached, owner-occupied units, each on its own parcel of land.
Population densities within this classification will vary from 2 persons
to 20 persons per case".
Prior to this land use designation, the subject area was shown as Open
Space/Agricultural, which' has been its use of the land to the present.
The area has been in an agricultural preserve up to January 1, 1984, when
its non-renewal status ended. What this means essentially, is that the
Irvtne Company placed the land in a non-renewal status in lg74, which
dictates that the land loses its perferred tax advantages in ten years,
and cannot be renewed. This action was taken in anticipation of
urbanizing the site based on its residential designation.
The City of Tustin annexed the subject area in January of 1977, and
prezoned the site as Planned Community. One of the conditions of the
prezone was that prior to the issuance of any building permits, a specific
plan would be prepared for the review and approval of the Planning
Commission and City Council. The intregrated land use patterns could
consist of support commercial, mixed residential and public facilities.
The East Tustin Specific Plan process begin approximately a year ago as
the result of the Company's interest in planning for the urbanization of
the East Tustin Area. Their willingness to begin the planning process was
further defined by the fact that most of the total study area was removed

REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
EAST TUSTIN PLANNED COMMUNITY/TUSTIN AUTO CENTER

from the agricultural preserve in 1984, with the remaining areas removed
in 1986 and 1988. This planning process is a comprehensive program geared
to examine more than land uses in the East Tustin area. Providing need
infrastructure, environmental concerns, public facilities, affordable
housing and balancing revenue to costs are all aspects of this plan.
Although the entire existing land use plan for the East Tustin will not be
revised, the proposed East Tustin plan should reflect new conditions since
lg73, community values and local attitudes.
Early in the planning process, the City's consultants reviewed the area
north of the I-5 Freeway between Jamboree and Myford Road, and South of
Bryan Avenue for non-residential uses. This was done because of this
areas proximity to the I-5 Freeway, the market potential for commercial
uses, and its potential to create a revenue surplus to the City. Although
the area can be mitigated for residential uses, it was felt that this area
could serve as a buffer to future residential areas to the north, while
providing needed commercial on a community level.
The essential aspect of any general plan amendment is. that the change be
"in the public interest" and be compatible with the goals and policies of
the community. The'proposed auto center site can accomplish these
parameters by. several means. The change to a Planned Community allows a
new set of standards to be applied to the proposed site. The land use
element defines Planned Comunity as both a land use and a 'zoning
classification that can integrate mixed ~uses compatibly by design
standards. To assure the objective of compatibility of land use with the
character of surrounding devel6pments, percise development plans are
reviewed'and approved prior to authorization for developmemt.
This land use definition is consistent with the zoning and regulations
proposed for the subject project. The pre-zone for the area requires the
development of a specific plan prior to permit issuance. This.requirement
must be accomplished whether each project is reviewed individually, or the
entire area is planned at one time.
The Planned Community regulations regulate more than building height,
setbacks, and landscaping. They address issues that are directly related
to the uses compatibility with the surrounding area, such as noise
attenuation and light intensity. Specific regulations governiQg lighting
are included, along with sound attenuation walls. A set of Planned
Community regulations allow staff to tailor the proposed land use to the
surrounding areas.
Currently, the proposed auto center site is not surrounding by any
existing development. The closest existing residential uses are
approximately-2,000 feet away. But it is anticipated that the area will
someday urbanize, and the Company has applied for a General Plan Amendment
to allow residential uses to the west of this site. It is staff's

contention that the proposed land. use designation change to Planned
Community/Commercial can be compatible with the surrounding area, and is
in the public interest. Further, that the adoption of a Planned
Community/Commercial zoning designation and accompanying Planned Community
Regulations allow the use to -be compatible with existing and future uses
in the area, and ensure a development of high quality that will provide
needed revenues to pay for the cost of governmental services.

certification of Draft £IR 84-2, plus amendment~ as a final EIR 84-2
to the City Council.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission, held on
the day of , 1985.
~ONALD H. WHITE
Chairman
DONNA ORR
Recording Secretary
Pursuant to the CnlifolTlia Environmental Q~mlity ALt of 1970, as amended, and in
aeoordanee with the City of Tustin guidelines, as amended, this document presents
the findings and a brief explanation of the rationale for eeeh finding required for
approval of the proposed project.
The tn.nning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby find that
cbAn?s or alterations have been required tnt or incorporated tnt% the
project which avoid oe substantially mitigate the significant advers~
impacts identified in the final EIR as speeLfically itemized below.
A. Water Resources
~npaets:
The site is currently subject to flooding ranging in depth from
one to three feet resulting from the inability of regional
drainage facilities to convey lO0-year flood flows.
Findings:
The projeLt includes the construction of an earthen berm
extending from an existing berm to the west of the project
site and wrapping around the project site to protect the
project from flooding. This berm will protect the site without
significantly altering existing drainage and flooding patterns
tn the vicinity of the peojeet.
Impacts:
Short-term degradation of surface water quality will occur
during grading and initial construction activities.
Findings:
A plan for site control of all storm runoff from the property
during oonstruction will be prepared and submitted to the City
of Tustin prior to the issuance of any grading permits.
Impacts:
On-site runoff volumes and velocities will increase and the
on-site drainage pattern will be altered.
Findings:
An on-site drainage plan will be submitted to the City of
Tustin for approval prior to the recordation of the final parcel
map. Methods foe oontrolling the velooity end direetion of
runoff will be ineerporated into the project design.
Impacts:
Development of the site will effect a long-term change in
runoff quality from agricultural pollutants to urban pollutants.
Findings:
This impact will be partially reduced by the implementation
of appropriate stormwater ponution control plans and periodic
cleaning of storm drains.
Resolution No.
Pa~e 2
B. Land Use and Aesthetics
Impacts:
Findings:
The project is not consistent with the existing general plan
and zoning designations for the site and surrounding areas.
A general plan amendment and zone change are proposed as
part of the project. The project design and performance
standards included in the Tustin Auto Center Planned
Community Regulations will ensure that the proposed project
is compatible with land uses planned for areas adjacent to and
near the project site.
Impacts:
Implementation of the proposed project would result in the
introduction of high intensity night lighting in the Bast Tustin
area.
Findings:
The Tustin Auto Center Planned Community Regulations
contain lighting performance standards stipulating the type of
lighting which may be used, the maximum height of each
fixture, and the allowable wattage per square foot. Only
sharp cut-off fixtures at a maximum height of 20 feet are
allowed, thereby localizing light and glare impacts.
C. Transportation/Circulation
De
Impacts:
The propesed project will contribute a small increment to an
existing and projected cumulative traffic impact at several
intersections in the area. The project will generate 8,205
ADT and 845 p.m. peak hour trips. Traffic from the project
will inerementRlly worsen traffic conditions at the Red Hill
Avenue/I-5 ramps and the intersections of Red Hill Avenue
and Irvtne Boulevard and Red Hill Avenue and Laguna Road.
Findings:
Construction of the Jamboree Road/I-5 interchange will
provide substantial mitigation of project related traffic
impacts by directing project related and other traffic from
Red HLU Avenue. The Jamboree Road/I-5 interchange has
been committed by the City of Tustin as a locally funded
project (Tustin City Council Resolution No. 84-65).
Noise
Impacts=
Activities at the auto center facilities will increase overall
ambient noise levels in the area by a few decibels. The
number of individuRlly audible and potentially intrusive traffic
noise events win increase as a result of the auto center
development.
Resolution No.

Findings:
Impacts:
Findings:
The Tustin Canter Planned Community Regulations contain
operational performance standards which will mitigate noise
impaet~ to an insigaifieant level. Other recommended
operational and site pl~.'ng measures will also reduce
project impacts.
Short-term noise impacts will occur during project
eonatruetion.
Compliance with city noise standards regarding hours of
operation and the use of muffled construction equipment will
minimize construction noise impacts.
The project site is exposed to noise impacts from the Santa
Ana Froeway. Over one-half of the project site is exposed to
freeway noise levels in excess of the City of Tnstin~ noise
objective of $5 CNEL for commercial land uses.
The project design incorporates a wall of at least eight feet in
height along this edge. This wall will serve to attenuate noise
from the freeway and will reduce on-site noise levels to
acceptable levels.
Short-term increases in dust and exhaust emission win occur
in the vicinity of the project during construction.
Compliance with Rule 403 of the SCAQMD Rules and
Regulations and wetting of geaded areas will mitigate fugitive
dust emissions during construction.
Long-term regional increases in mobile and stationary-source
emissions will result due to the increase in motor vehicle and
energy usage.
The proposed project includes bicycle and pedestrian facilities
provided to reduce motor vehicle usage. Sidewalks will be
provided along Jamboree and Laguna Road and on all internal
roads. All roadways being constructed as a part of the project
have sufficient width to allow for bicycle lanes.
Resolution No.

The Plnnninpl Commission of the City of Tustin further finds that although
cbAn~es: altarations~ or conditions have been incorDorated into the Droject
which will substantially miti~ate or avoid sila~nifieant effects identified in the
final EIR~ certain of the m~mificant effects cannot be mitii~ated to fu~l.¥
acceptable levels. The remalnin~ impacts identified below may continue to oe
of si[~nifieant adverse impact even when all known feasible and identified
mitilalation measures are applied.
Project implementation will result in the termination of on-site
agTicultural production and the lo~s of 60 acres of "Farmland of Statewide
Importance" as identified by the California State Department of
Conservation.
Findings:
The project is currently committed to non-a~rieultural use.
The Tustin General Plan Land Use Element currently
designates the site for urban (residential) land use. The
existence of an Irvine Ranch Water District improvement
finance district and the issuance of bonds to finance urban
level water and sewer improvements for the project site and
surrounding areas further indicates the existing commitment
to urban development of this area. There are no economically
or physically feasible measures available to mitigate this
impact.
The proposed project will generate approximately 8,205 ADT and 845 P.M.
peak hour trips. Traffic from the project will incrementally worsen traffic
conditions at the Red Hill Avenue fl-5 ramps and the intersections of Red
Hill Avenue and Irvine Boulevard, and Red Hill Avenue and Laguna Road.
Construction of the Jamboree Road fl-5 interchange will
provide substantial mitigation of project related traffic
impacts by diverting project related and other traffic from
Red Hill Avenue. The Jamboree Road/I-5 interchange has
been eemmitted by the City of Tustin az a locally funded
project (Tustin City Council Resolution No. 84-65). Prior to
construction of the interchange, the State Department of
Transportation must approve connection of the interchange to
the state freeway system and the City of Tustin must select
and institute a mechanism to finance ~onstruetion of the
interehenge. Until such time as these approvals and actions
are taken and the interchange is censtrueted, traffic
generated by the project will adversely impact operatin~
conditions at the Red Hill Avenue/I-§ ramps and the
intersections of Red Hill Avenue and Irvine Boulevard, and
Red Hill Avenue and Laguna Road.
Resolution No.
Pa~e 5
The project site is located within the Eastern Corridor study area and
approval and construction of the auto eenter project prior to completion of
the route location study could influence the study by eliminating some
potential .alternative alignments of the corridor.
Findings:
The City of Tustin will participate tn the
TrensportaUon Corridor Study and cooperate with the County
of Orange and the other local agencies involved and affected
by the study. It is not considored economically feasible to
delay approval and implementation of the project until the
corridor study is completed.
Short-term construction equipment emissions and long-term mobile and
stationary emissions will occur with project implementation oreating an
adverse impact on the air quality of the South Coast Air Basin.
Findings:
As with any urban development project, air quality impacts
cannot be completely mitigated. In approving the project,
subject to the conditions and mitigation measures set forth,
the city has done all that is technically and reasonably
possible at the munieipal level
E. Increased demand for limiting regional water resources.
Findings:
The project necessitates increased water use and, therefore,
tnoreased demand for regional imported water. This impact
cannot be mitigated on an individual project basis although
the city will require implementation of '~11 feasible
conservation measures.
F. Increased long-term demand for finite fossil fuel resoureas resulting from
project electrical and natural gas requirements.
Findings:
The project necessitates an increased cumulative demand for
finite fuel resources. Although servicing agencies anticipate
adequate fuel supplies for the project, the long-term demand
for fossil fuel resources will be unavoidably increased.
The plsnning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby find that certain
~hAn~es or alterations (e.g., mitigation measures) required in or incorporated
[nt~ ~he oro~ect are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of a public a~ene¥
other th~n {he City of Tustin and can or should be adopted by the respective
agency as itemized below:
A. California Department of T~ansportation: Approval of the connection of
the Jamboree Road/I-5 interehange to the state freeway system.
Resolution lqo.
Pa~e 6
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin has weighed the benefits of the
proposed project agair~t its unavoidable environmental risks in determining/
whether to approve said Droject. The Planning Commission does hereby further
find~ determine; and state7 l)ursuant to the provisions of Section 15093 o~f the
state CEi~A Guidelines~ that the occurrence of the certain si~;nifieant
environmental effects identified in the final FAR and set forth in ~araL~raph 2
above~ have been evaluated A?{,tqt the following overriding cohsiderations:
AL The project will result in the following substantial eeonomie, social, and
environmental benefits to the City of Tustin and surrounding areas:
(1)
At build-out, the project is anticipated to yield a positive annual
fiscal surplus of $1,306,200 to the city's general fund. Total ann-A1
revenues are projected at $1,414,700 and total costs at $108,500.
(2)
The consolidation of auto dealerships in one location will result in less
vehicle miles traveled than would be typical of a strip pattern of auto
dealerships. This fact is reflected in the trip generation rates for the
Irvine Auto Center, a similar type of development, which are
considerably lower per aere than the observed rates for individual
auto dealers.
(3)
The proposed project will provide improvements to the local
circulation system consisting of the extension of Laguna and
Jamboree Roads.
B. The fonowing economic and social considerations make the project
alternatives identified in the final EIR infeasible.
(1)
The "No Project" alternative is rejected because it fails to meet the
objectives set forth for the project, particularly the objectives of
providing an increased revenue base to the city and creating a
development which provides for a range of auto-related uses to serve
the City of Tustin and surrounding communities.
(2)
The "Existing General Plan" alternative is rejected because it fails to
meet the objectives set forth for the project, particularly the
objectives of providing an increased revenue base to the city and
creating a development which provides for a range of auto-related
uses to serve the City of Tustin and surrounding ~ommuntties.
(3)
The "Residential Development at Ten Dwelling Units to the Acre"
alternative is rejected because it fails to meet the objectives set
forth for the project, particularly the objectives of providing an
increased revenue base to the city and creating a development which
provides for a range of auto-related uses to serve the City of Tustin
and surrounding eemmunities.
Resolution No.
Pa~e ?
(4)
The "Alternative Locations" alternative is rejected because
development of the proposed project on the other available sites in
the ~ity would result in gTeater environmental impacts than would
development of the project on the proposed site.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSS[ON:
Public hearings have been advertised for a General Plan Amendment 84-la, Zone
Change 85-1, and a draft environmental impact report for this area under
consideration. If those changes are recommended for approval to City Council it
would be appropriate to consider this parcel map.
The Irvine ~ompany has submitted this subdivision as a parcel map rather than a
tentative tract map because under the Subdivision Map Act, industrial and
commercial acreage, regardless of the number of parcels, may be subdivided by a
parcel map. In residential subdivisions, more than parcels must be subdivided
by a tentative and final tract map.
The proposed map of 55.94 acres consists of 12 numbered parcels for the
auto dealerships and 4 lettered parcels for public utilities and landscape
maintenance districts.
All conditions of approval with other concerns are listed in attached Exhibit

EXHIBIT "A"
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 84-1032
The following items shall be added to and/or amended on the parcel map:
l'. Even though the dedication for Laguna Road between Browning Avenue and
Jamboree Road will be made by separate instrument, the blue border of this.
parcel map should be revised to include the curb return right-of-way
requirement. This will demonstrate the intent of the street* extension to
those not aware of the dedication by separate instrument.
The Tentative Parcel Map shows a turn-out along the interior street
adjacent to Parcel 4. If there is no specifi~ need, the area should
be returned to Parcel 4.
All flood protection berms, either, within' the parcel map boundary or
outside of -the boundary, should be shown within an easement for same
to provide for protection of the proposed development until such time
improvements to the E1Modena-Irvine Channel and its related facilities are
improved to accommodate a 100 year design storm as defined by F.E.M.A. and
the Orange County E.M.A. Flood Control Agency. These berms include the
proposed berm extending westerly to Browning Avenue both adjacent to and
southerly of Bryan Avenue. These easements should be in the title of the
Property Owners Association of the proposed development, and a condition in
the CC & R's for maintenance responsibilities.
The water main in Jamboree Road has been extended both easterly and
westerly to the blue border of the parcel map. Further extension may be
required depending upon the limits of street improvements at that
intersection related to tapers/transitions/realignments. Additionally, the
water main should be extended/stubbed northerly to provide for the future
extension'of Jamboree Road north.
The water system should have at least two sources of feed for fire
protection reasons. The second source could be tied to the City of Tustin
system via a closed valve and-connected through the street system of the
proposed residential development until such time a loop feed can be
provided by I.R.W.D.
An easement across the future interchange area in favor of I.R.W.D. should
be shown for the domestic water main feed southerly of Lot 8.
6. I.R.W.D. requires a minimum 10 inch size main in commercial tract areas.
Those mains in Laguna Road and portions of Auto Center Drive'should be
delineated as a minimum size of 10-inches or larger as required.
7. Both the lift stations (sewer and storm drain) should be located outside of
future street right-of-way so as to preclude potential relocation cost and
service inconvenience.

All interior streets of the development are delineated as Auto Center
Drive. This street layout will require a minimum of four (4) separate
names to eliminate confusion under the city's current policy of
addressing. New street names do not require assignment 'until the final map
stage. In the interim, to eliminate confusion, the streets should be
labeled A, B, C, etc.
A letter from I.R.W.D. dated 12-11-84 indicates the potential for directing
the 6" sewer force main southerly to I.R.W.D. facilities in lieu of
westerly to County Sanitation District Facilities.

THSTIN, CA 92680
14460 NEWPORT AVENUE
CATEGORICALLY EXEHPT (CLASS 11)
TO INSTALL A POLE-TYPE, TENANT IDENTIFICATION DIRECTORY SIGN ON
THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF NEWPORT AND WALNOT AVENUES
BACKGROUND
On November 28, 1984 the Planntng Commission revtewed and approved the site plan
and elevations of the shopping center recently completed at 14460 Newport
Avenue. The original submittal only Indicated typical wall signs, and free
standing Identification was not included.
Section 9494 of the Ct ty Code pertaining to slgnage provides that, subject to a
conditional Use Permtt, a tenant identification directory sign may be authorized
when the following crtterta are present:
1. Only one (1) such sign per center is permitted.
2. Maximum sign area must not exceed 50 square feet and is restricted to
six (6) square feet per tenant, and center identification must be
incorporated within the sign area.
3. The sign shall not exceed the height of the building on site.
4. Such signing shall be authorized in lieu of all other freestanding
signs on the site.
With construction of the new structure, the existing "Little Kings" restaurant
was incorporated into the shopping center. This restaurant currently has a pole
sign identifying the business.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is proposing to install, on the northeast corner of Newport and
Walnut Avenues, a tenant directory pole sign that meets the ~iteTta requ~rqd by
Section 9494 of the Sign Code. However, there are severa) o~ner issues tna~
should be addressed:
Community Development Department
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
USE PERMIT 85-1
PAGE ll~O
SecOnd pole sign on the site: The installation of the proposed sign
would be the second pole sign on the site. To comply with the sign
ordinance, the existing "Little Kings" pole sign must be removed.
Uniformity of color: To provide compatibility with the wall signs
installed on the face of the building, the backgrounds on any
freestanding sign panels should be white.
The appropriateness of a pole sign at this location: When the
proximity of the buildings to major arterial highways and the
high visibility of the center are considered, staff questioned the
appropriateness of a pole sign. It would appear that a properly placed
monument sign would be adequate to alert on-coming traffic of the
center's location. With the use of a monument the area of tenant
identification panels would not need to be reduced. However, the
height of a monument sign is restricted to six (6) feet above grade.
It should also be noted that a monument sign of this type would require
removal of the existing Little ~ings pole sign. In lieu of the
proposed pole sign, staff would encourage the use of a monument.
However, if the Commission determines that the proposed pole sign is
appropriate, then staff would recommend the following conditions be
imposed:
a. The backgrounds of the sign panels shall be white, matching the
background of signs currently installed on the structure located at
14460 Newport Avenue.
b. The pole cover shall be treated with a rex-coat material to match
the type and color used on the structure at 14460 Newport Avenue.
c. That the existing "Little Kings" pole sign must be removed prior to
issuance of sign permits authorizing the proposed sign.
RECO~E#DED ACTXO#:
It is recommended that Use Permit 85-1 be denied on the grounds that a pole sign
is not appropriate for the subject location when considering the proximity of
the structure to major arterial highways. It is further recommended that a
monument sign (tenant directory type) be approved by the Commission subject to
review of the elevations at the next meeting.

APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR YORBA STREET FROM FIRST STREET TO IRYINE
BOULEYARD.
DZSCUSSTON:
The City Council at its meeting on December 18, 1984 directed the Planning
Commission to review the appropriateness of property zoning along Yorba Street
between First Street and Irvtne Boulevard. :-Specifically, Yorba Street is
dominated by residential dwellings but several have been converted to office
useage. Councilman Edgar, in particular, was of the opinion that Yorba Street
is becoming more commercially driented due to its higher traffic volumes which
no longer make it an appropriate street for single family residential.
Attached to this transmittal is the official zoning map of Yorba Street
indicating a variety of zones including R-l, R-3, £-4, CG PUD and the PR zone.
While this subject will not i~act the current request submitted by Mr. Brown to
build a single family dwelling, Council does seek Planning Commission opinion
concerning the long term land use designation and appropriate zoning for this
area.
Staff suggests the Planning Commission upon providing its preliminary opinions
direct staff to thoroughly research the subject and report back with the
necessary information and demographics to formulate a recommendation to Council.
