RESOLUTION NO. 2211
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, AMENDING USE PERMIT 76-26 AUTHORIZING
THE ENCLOSURE OF THE GARDEN SHOP AREA ADJACENT TO
THE STRUCTURE AT 500 EAST 1st STREET AND AMENDING
USE PERMIT 77-23 AUTHORIZING ll~E CONVERSION OF THE
EXISTING KEY SHOP IN LARWIN SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER
TO AN AUTOMATED B~NK TELLER.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as
follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application, (Amendment to Use Permits No. 76-26
and 77-23) has been filed on behalf of Larwin Square, Ltd, to
authorize the enclosure of the garden shop (5,115 square feet)
adjacent to 500 E. 1st, and to authorize the conversion of an
existing key shop to an automated bank teller.
B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said
application.
C. That establishment, maintenance, and operation of the use
applied for will not, under the circumstances of this case,
be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or
general welfare of the persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of such proposed use, evidenced by the following
findings:
1. That the project is in conformance with the criteria and
intent of the City of Tustin Zoning Ordinance and the
Tustin Area General Plan in that it is a retail/commercial
use in the Central Commercial (C-2) Zoning District.
2. That the area to be enclosed was calculated as usable
retail space for the purposes of parking demand at the time
Use Permit 76-26 was approved. Therefore, the center is in
compliance with parking requirements for the site.
3. That the Planning Commission hereby determines that the
subject site has been expanded to capacity using parking
ratio established by Use Permit 76-26. Any future
additions to the center will require renovation of the
parking lot design.
D. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the use
applied for will not be injurious or detrimental to the property
and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property,
nor to the general welfare of the City of Tustin, and should be
granted.

APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC DEVELOPtqEMT PLAN FOR AcOIqBIgATION
RESTAURANT/OUTDOOR PARKEr WITH OUTDOOR SEATING, AMD APPROVAL OF
THE ISSUANCE OF AM ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE FOR ON AMD OFF SITE
CONSUlqPTION.
BACKGROUND:
In August 1984,-the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 84-14 authorizing
the renovation and expansion of the subject shopping center (formerly Ralph's,
to be called Tustin's French Quarter). The Use Permit authorized, in concept, a
restaurant, outside seating for various uses in the center and a parking plan,
including a variance from City parking standards. The applicant is n°w formally
submitting the precise development plan for the uses previously considered in
concept.
APPLICATION:
As submitted, the application contains several requests. Each issue will be
discussed separately.
Site Plan
The site plan included with this application indicates minor deviations from the
original plan approved by Use Permit 84-14. Specifically, the footprint of the
free-standing building nearest the corner of 17th and Carroll Way has been
Community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Amendment to Use Permit 84-[4
page two
altered slightly and a covered patio area has been included. These
modifications have changed the parking layout, yet the overall number of spaces
on the site remain the same. However, the reallocation of spaces has created
a potential problem with trash removal from the receptacles located adjacent to
buildings D and E. Since the variance approved with Use Permit 84-14 authorized
development of the center with 381 spaces, and 384 have been provided, it is
suggested that the original site plan, which prohibited parking in front of
these trash receptacles, remain in effect. The three spaces directly in front
of the trash enclosure should be stripped "No Parking".
Two other items need to be addressed. First, it is not apparent by this
submittal if the. loading dock at the rear of building B is enclosed. The
original site plan, as well as the approved structural documents, indicate the
dock is to be enclosed, and shall be constructed as such. Second, a footprint
of a clock tower is shown. Staff has not reviewed the elevations for this
structure and will require design review prior to its installation. The tower
elevations will be returned for Commission approval.
Elevations
A major issue revol ve~ around the -architectural style of the: free-standing
bui.lding to be constructedlon the corner of 17th and Carroll Way.
Although European in nature, the design of the proposed structure is a departure
from the English-Tudor style utilized for the remainder of the center. The
existing buildings currently being remodeled will display a combination of shake
roofs, gables,-plaster exterior, wood siding with contrasting colors, and washed
river rock in a coordinated scheme. The proposed structure uses a more
contemporary style with a metal seam roof, a large skylight with an abundance of
window area, and stucco exterior with a low level washed river rock wall
enclosing the patio dining-area.' The applicant has also proposed that
decorative flags or pennants be permitted on the roof of the structureJ
Additionally, to add color to the corner, a fabric awning is proposed to
cover the 17th Street frontage and' cover the open market area of the building.
Upon the awning, the applicant wishes to display generic terms identifying the
various products available (i.e. produce, meat, vegetables).
Outdoor Seatin9 and Display
Of paramount importance to the applicant is authorization to provide an outdoor
dining area for the new restaurant, as well as the approval of an open air type
market. The overall concept is to provide an outdoor sales area for produce,
flowers, fresh meat and fish, and other products. In addition to sales,
Com munity Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Amendment to Use Permit 84-14
page three
a customer would be able to choose food items and have them prepared at the
restaurant for on-premise dining. Mr. Watktns is also requesting outside
seating for Lampost Pizza and for the future structure to be located on pad F of
the site plan. The use of outdoor seating and the market area were prime
reasons for the recent zone change on the property. The current zoning, CG-PUD,
provides for outdoor markets and sales establishments Subject to a Conditional
Use Permit. The previous zoning designation would have precluded' these uses.
Alcoholic Beverage License
The last major issue involved with this application is the request to permit the
sale of alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only) for on and off site
consumption. Prior to any applicant receiving a license from the Department of
Alcholic Beverage Control, a Conditional Use permit must be approved by the
Planning Commission.
AMALYSIS:
In general, staff supports the concepts presented in this application and will
recommend that the Com)n. issfon grant approval of the development and uses as
requested. Potential problems associated with outdoor seating and market area
can be avoided by the implementation of requirements included in the conditions
for approval. The minor deviations from the original site plan have been noted
and present no foreseeable problems. The approved set of construction plans
will remain in effect, with the exception of the elimination of three parking
stalls, and construction shall proceed accordingly. Similarly, the request for
an Alcoholic Beverage. License~:(beer and wine only) is reasonable considering the
competitive nature of the restaurant business. Staff is comfortable with the
issuance of a new alcoholic beverage license when it would be ancilliary to the
primary use. Further, the applicant has indicated that the lease for the
Distillery, a bar in the center, will not be renewed. The Distillery had a
license to serve beer, wine and distilled spirits on premises. Therefore, the
approval of a license for the restaurant will not increase the total number of
businesses serving alcoholic beverages.
With these issues aside,' staff's final concern is with the architectural design
of the building, and the decorative features used on the new structure. Staff
considers the awning, with a departmental or generic signing, to be a feature
complimentary to the overall design concept.
However, staff discourages the use .of pennants or flags being flown over the
structure. Historically, the City has not approved similar requests {i.e. the
Courtyard Center) and it is our opinion that the rooftop display is not
consistent with the intent of the sign-ordinance which prohibits roof top
advertising. The elimination of these banners will not detract from the overall
appearance of the structure.
Corn munity Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Amendment to Use Permit 84-14
page four
Finally, the design of the structure requires analysis. The metal seam roof and
skylight features are a departure from the remainder of the center. The style
is contempory in nature while being surrounded by English-Tudor on the site, the
French-Chateau style of Mimi's Cafe, and an assortment of styles across the
street at Enderle Center. The use of earth tones, wood, stucco, and brick is
also predominate in the area.
While the proposed market/restaurant is a variation on the motif of the center,
it is not necessarily incompatible. The applicant's preferred elevation
includes the use of a blue roof. Alternative plans show the use of a light gray
metal roof, or a shingle roof similar to the rest of the complex. Staff concurs
with the applicant that, as a result of the style of building, the wood roof
detracts from the attractiveness of the structure. However, to remain
consistent with the more subdued colors that are most prevalent in the area, it
is recommended that the light gray color, not the blue, be used. The proposed
architecture of the building with subdued colors and materials should be
distinctive yet compatible, while the addition of a dark blue roof could prove
to be a distraction to the area's renovate¢ appearance.
RECOI~ENDED ACTION:
It is recommended Resolution No. 2212 be adopted amending Use Permit' 84-14
authorizing the construction of a market/restaurant with outdoor seating and
display areas on the corner of 17th Street at Carroll' Way. This amendment also
authorizes an alcoholic beverage license to be issued for on and off site beer
and wine only for the subject project. Approval of this amendment is subject to
the terms and conditions contained in Resolution No. 2212.

large selection of breads, pastries, desserts and pastas. There will be a
fish counter where you can select your fish filet and have it barbequed on a
mesquite wood barbeque, plus there will be a gourmet soup and salad bar.
Jeff Davis -2- January 10, 198§
The restaurant will feature a combination of indoor and outdoor seating. We ·
have designed the indoor seating to be different in that there will be glass
windows that will pivot open similar to a European sidewalk cafe and the
roof may have some type of openings for good weather open-air dining. There
will be outside seating along 17th Street with umbrellas similar to the
elevations enclosed.
There is also proposed an outside seating area along 17th Street for 'the
yogurt shop adjacent to Pad F and a few tables and umbrellas on the sidewalk
adjacent to Lamppost Pizza (southwesterly portion of Building
One of the most important features of the market will be the exhibition of
colorful produce, flowers, etc. on the sidewalk under the eaves along 17th
Street. We have referred to this area as the outside sales area. The
abundant color will coordinate with the overall design and is very important
to the sales and marketing of the space.
To be competitive with other markets and restaurants in the area, we need to
have a primarily gourmet beer and wine department in the market and be able
to sell beer and wine to restaurant patrons with their meals and for take
home consumption.
The elevations of Pad G (French market) have been a culmination of six
months research. We want a unique silhouette that is very attractive and
functional. Some of our design goals include:
1. Make the interior very pleasant with a vaulted-truss ceiling and large
central skylight;
2. Have the fish barbeque visible from the street;
3. Have an outside produce display area very colorful and inviting to pass-
ers by;
4. Design the seating area to be functional, unique, attractive and visible
from the street;
5. Have a design different than the remainder of the buildings but of a
European flair to compliment them.
Have all the service functions on the non-customer side. Major receiv-
ing, trash, etc. is concentrated on the west side of Pad G which is the
farthest from the customer parking.
The size of Pad G is slightly enlarged from the original plan of 8,000
square feet basically due to a nose being added to the north side of the
building to have room for check stands and a refinement of seating area on
the east side which is now partially enclosed.
Jeff Davis -3- January 10, 1985
We have included a mezzanine of approximately 1,400 square foot located over
the westerly portion of the building.
Our original approval was for 91,222 square feet of building area and 350
restaurant seats. With the existing construction and the proposed Pad G we
are still approximately 2,500 square feet under our total approved building
area and well under our seating allowance. We lost a few parking spaces next
to the market due to the outside seating area, but we increased the total
parking count by three parking spaces by increases we found in the site when
an actual field survey gave us slight increases in size in various
locations.
Our sign program anticipates that the major tenants in Buidings B, C and D
be allowed to have proportionate size signs with our original concept sign
dormers.
The Tustin code is not practical for such a large center as is evident from
the size of signs from other major tenants throughout Tustin.
We request approval of the following:
1. Miller's Outpost, per the attached elevations, be allowed the 200 (plus
or minus) square foot sign per the attached sign elevation;
2. The three remaining dormers on Buildings B, C and D have signs totaling
150 square feet each;
e
The French market be allowed to use the canvas canopies to stencil the
names of the departments on {i.e. deli, bakery, fish, etc.) and the win-
dows along 17th Street to place small neon signs to also advertise the
departments something similar to Mimi's Cafe's neon sign. These signs
could be subject to the final approval of the staff.
The attached Exhibit A includes a list of enclosures. We request approval of
the above items as outlined.

NORTHWESTERLY CORNER OF REDNILL AND WARNER AVENUES
(15991 RED#ILL, SUITE 100)
PLANNED COI~IUNITY INDUSTRIAL/BUSINESS
R.B. ALLEN GROUP REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO OCCUPY SUITE 100,
15991 REDHILL IN THE WARNER REDHILL BUSINESS CENTER.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR THIS PROJECT.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 1985, the City Council adopted Ordinance 925 which rezoned the
properties at 15901, 15941, 15991 Redhill from the Planned Community Industrial
to the Planned Community Industrial/Business. This zone change not only allows
industrial uses but also allows additional uses such as: professional offices,
general offices, retail uses and general services. Any proposal except
industrial uses, will require a conditional use permit.
Issue Analysis:
R.B. Allen Group is requesting authorization to occupy Suite 100 at 15991
Redhill Avenue which is proposed at 6,029 square feet. Since the buildings were
built with a parking ratio of 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet, 24 spaces are
available for this user. In correspondence attached to this report is a
detailed outline of what the group is (commercial brokerage firm). At present,
the firm has 15 employees and expects to expand to 20 by the end of the year.
Since there are 24 spaces available for their use, it would appear that 20
employees would not be a burden on the parking situation and 4 extra spaces
could then be available for clients.

Re: R.B. Allen Group Use Permit Petition, 2-11-85
Warner/Redhill Business Center
Dear Mary Ann:
We look forward to our planning review hearing on February 11,
1985, for the R. B. Allen Group. In reference to our discus-
sion about this matter last week, I am providing a brief
description of the R. B. Allen Group.
The R. B. Allen Group is a 15-person commercial brokerage firm
which specializes in the leasing and sale of office or
industrial space for small tenants in the range of 1,000 to
5,000 square feet. Currently, R. B. Allen Group has two
offices located in the Airport Business Park in Irvine and in
the Koll Business Center in Garden Grove. The firm has
decided to consolidate both of these offices into a new Tustin
location at the Warner/Redhill Business Center. R. B. Allen
has enjoyed excellent growth in the past two years and expects
to expand its staff to 20 persons in 1985.
The Paragon Group is very excited to have R. B. Allen Group as
a tenant at the Warner/Redhill Business Center. One
particular feature about this "type" of tenant is important
for the Planning Department to consider. Because of the need
for real estate brokers to be out in the field 80% of the
time, we expect minimal traffic and parking impacts from this
tenant. The brokers usually occupy the space early in the
morning and late in the evening. In essence, R. B. Allen
Group will probably only need a two per 1,000 square feet
parking ratio for both their clients and employees.

ENVIROIlIENTAL
STATUS:
REQUEST:
CLASS 11 CATEGORICAL EXDIPTION
TO INSTALL ONE (1) 208.26 SQUARE FOOT TENANT IDENTIFICATION WALL
SIGN
BACKGROUND:
By recent actions of the Commission and the City Council, the remodeling and
expansion of' the shopping center located on the northeast corner of 17th Street
and Carroll Way was authorized. Specifically, those actions were a zone change
from Retail Commercial (C-1) to Commercial General-Planned Unit Development
(CG-PUD) and approval of Use Permit 84-14 including variances with parking and
sign regulations.
Included in the design of the remodeled structures were architectural features
known as dormers to provide space for tenant identification signs. These
dormers are only situated on Buildings B, C, and D. Other tenant signing will
be located on the factas of the remaining buildings in the center.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting authorization to install a 208 ~quare foot wall sign
identifying Miller's Outpost. The proposed sign would be attached to the dormer
of Building B as indicated on the attached exhibits. As proposed, this sign is
approximately 133 square feet larger than permitted by Sign Ordinance 684. Sign
ordinance criteria for tenant signage is limited to sign area equal to 15% of
the store front area, not to exceed 75 square feet.
ANALYSIS:
As proposed, the square footage of the Miller's sign equals approximately 15% of
the store frontage to be occupied, meeting one criteria of the sign ordinance
Corn munity Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Variance 85-1
page tWo
and thereby maintains a proportional relationship to other signage in the
center. However, the 208 square foot sign is far in excess of the 75 square
foot maximum permitted by code.
The applicant contends that a variance is justified in this instance since the
structure to be served is set back 350 feet from 17th Street. Additionally,the
proposed construction of a restuarant on the corner of 17th and Carroll Way will
somewhat detract from the visibility of the tenant.
Staff concurs with the contention of the applicant, and considers sufficient
grounds to exist that warrant approval of a variance to the sign code. However,
staff cannot support the 208 square foot area proposed. Particularly, when the
sign is situated well above the facia, and Miller's Outpost has authorization
for a monument sign at the entrance of the complex.
To remain more in line with previous variances granted, and to preclude the
granting of special privilege, staff suggests that the maximum area of the sign
be 150 square feet with a maximum letter height of 36 inches. This would be
consistent with other signs in the area as well the square footage approved for
Drug Emporium Redhill Avenue.' 'Similar signs in the vicinity of Miller's Outpost
include Fireman's Fund (80 sq. ft.) and. Safeway (108 square feet) :Further, Drug
Emporium, a retail outlet with similar physical characteristics (i.e., 300 foot
building set back) as Miller's Outpost, was authorized a 184 square foot wall
sign.
Once again, staff concurs with the applicant that a variance may be warranted,
however, cannot'support the proposal for a 208 square foot sign.
RECOI~ENDATION:
~t is recommended that Vartance 85-~ be approved authortzln9 one (~) 250 square.
foot tenant identificatin wall sign, with a maximum letter height of 36 inches,
for Miller's Outpost, to be located .at 17261 Seventeenth street.
Such approval would be granted by the adoption of Resolutibn No. 2210.

SIGN FOR MILLER'S OUTPOST AT 17261 SEVENTEENTH

The Planning Commission of the' City of Tustin does hereby
follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
resolve as
That a proper application, (Variance No. 85-1), was filed by
Mr. Barry Watkins on behalf of Miller's Outpost, requesting
authorization to vary with the requirements of the Tustin sign
code and to install a 208 square foot wall sign at 17261
Seventeenth Street.
Be
Ee
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said
application.
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 following findings:
1. The use is in conformance with the land use element of the
Tustin Area General Plan.
2. That as a result of a 360 · foot building setback, and
partial obstruction of the structure served by future
development, a sign in excess of the maximum allowed by the
sign code is justified.
3. That although a variance is justified, the 208 square foot
sign is excessive and any approval should be limited to 150
sq. ft. maximum.
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.
That this project is categorically exempt from the requirements

PLANNING COIqMISSZON APPROVAL FOR INSTALLATION OF A THIRD
SATELLITE SIGNAL RECEIVING DISH ON THE BOY'S CLUB BUILOING TO
SERYICE THE COII~UNITY CABLE TELEYISION STSTEI4.
BACKGROUND:
In two separate actions by the Commission, Use Permit 82-16 and an amendment
thereto, authorized the installation of ~o satellite signal receiving dishes on
the Boy's Club building at 580 N. 6th Street. These dishes serve Communicom,
the company franchised by the City to provide cable television service.
Resolution No. 2138, approving the amendment to Use Permit 82-16 precluded the
need for public hearing to consider additional dishes. However, the
Commission did desire to review any further additions to the site.
DISCUSSION:
P.E.L. Associates, on behalf of Communtcom, has submitted a plan indicating a
third dish to be installed on the Boy's Club building. The proposed addition is
a 3.7 meter dish to be attached on a support pole which will be secured to the
exterior wall of the building. A concrete footing, to be approved by the
Building Department, would also be provided as a support feature.
ANALYSIS:
Although not necessarily opposed to an additional dish at the subject location,
staff is concerned that the roof of the Boy's Club will soon resemble a
communication statton. Particularly, with the additton of the third dish
sttuated on a pole, on the extertor of the building. As an alternative,
staff suggests that the third dish be located on the roof of the Boy's Club, and
not on the support system proposed. It ts realized that roof mounting may
entail additional structural considerations pertaining to the roof, yet the
Corn munity Development Department
Planning Commission Report

page two
visual i~act of a roof top dish would be softened. Finally, the Commission
should consider, if the third dish is authorized, prohibiting any additional
dishes at the subject location.
RECOI~tENDEO ACTION:
It is recommended that the Commission, by minute order, approve a third 3.7
meter satellite dish on the structure located at 580 W. Sixth Street subject to
the following conditions:
That the dish be roof mounted on the rear half of the building currently
housing two similar dishes.
That the maximum number of dishes on the structure shall not exceed
three. If additional receiving stations are required, an alternative
location must be utilized.

REQUEST FOR UNDERGROUND #AIYER FOR NCCHARLES HOUSE RESTAURANT
CARLOS AND AUDREY HEREDIA
335 S. 'C' STREET
C-2 (CENTRAL COI~ERCIAL)
DISCUSSION:
The attached correspondence from the Heredta's requests a waiver for the
undergroundtn9 of electrical service for the HcCharles House Restaurant. The
correspondence also states the reasons why the waiver should be 9ranted.
Section 8402 of the Tusttn ~untctp&l Code requires that all electrical service
to any butlgtn9 (except a single-familY residence) be installed underground when
there is any change in occupancy, or installation of a new electrical service.
The ~cCharles House building should have been brought into conformance with the
building codes for B-2 occupancy at the time of the first conversion (1979) from
residential to commercial occupancy.
At this time, the butldtng's occupancy is again being changed to a restaurant
use which requires its compliance with building and electrical codes. However,
the Southern California Edison electrical service pole also serves several
adjoining properties and is not scheduled for removal or undergroundtng within
the foreseeable future. In view of this existing condition, the property owner
~ is specifically requesting a waiver from placing their overhead service
underground. Staff agrees with the property owner that an untimely hardship
would be placed upon the Heredia's causing them to underground their electrical
service while the balance of businesses served from the same utility pole will
still remain overhead.
Community Development DeparTment
Planning Commtsstofl Report

page t~o
RECOI~IENDAT[ON:
Staff recommends that the existing overhead electrical service be. permitted to
remain until such time the supply utility pole is scheduled for removal. A bond
for the cost of undergrounding the private electrical service shall be filed
with the City or a covenant recorded against the property notifying future
property owners that this condition with its associated costs are the burden of
the property owner.

Dear-Commissioners:
We are. in the process oi converting- the. NcChar!es House aT 335
South C. Street, Tus~in into a Tea Room and. Restaurant and re-
quest tha~ the Edison Company's overhead service be retained.
We state the following reasons:
Edison Company's Service Planner, Mr.: Ron Rust has stated that
the pole which exists and services' said property will remain
above ground and is not part ol Rule 20B underground.
The McCharles House is one-of ~hree properties serviced by said
poie~ All three properties are serviced overhead.
The Barnett propert-y at 125 Nain Street, Tustin obtained a Build-
lng-Permi= flor new' electrical service on 4/30/81. The Kelly
proper%7 at 333 South C. Street, Tustin, obtained a Building
Permit ior' new electrical service on 6/28/82. Neither service
was required to go underground.
A main consideration in the development o~ this restaurant has
been to create an ~mbience enhancing 01d Town Tustin. Retainin$
overhead service will not detract from this goal. However, ~e
additional expense in' construction costs required for the under-
gr6und service will crea~e a financial burden.
Nr. Rust has' info=mod us. that a normal w~iting period for a
request for change from overhead to underground with the Edison
Company t~es. ten to. twelve weeks.
The anticipated opening for the McCharles House Restauran~ and
Tea Room is mid-February. Such a waiting period could delay
the opening to ~Way, resulting in a serious financial burden..
The NcCharles House was built in 1885, and may be exempt from
underground requirements under a CXTy of Tustin provision.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. The opening
of ~he McCharles House~ Restaurant and Tea. Room is eagerly an-
ticipated by m-ny here in Tustin.
Sincerely Yours,
Carlos and Audrey Heredia ~
