TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 9270 AND 9271
OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE BY REQUIRING A USE PERMIT
AND ESTABLISHING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR THE

The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
II.
The City Council finds and determines as follows:
Television Dish Antennae are becoming a popular mechanism for
the receiving of distant broadcast signals for commercial,
industrial use and home entertainment.
Dish antennae have the potential of adding visual pollution,
obscuring vistas, reducing open space and adversely impacting
community amenities.
The review of certain antenna installations by the Planning
Commission, and the opportunity for adjoining property owners to
express their comments and concerns, warrants the requirement of
a use permit for the preservation of community aesthetics.
The City Council hereby amends Sections 9270 and 9271 of the Tustin
City Code to include the following:
Section 9270b
(f) Dish Antennae located in residential zones exceeding three (3)
feet in diameter and located other than in rear yard areas
obscured from public right-of-way view.

exceeding three {3) feet in diameter and not fully screened or
