Presentation: Mary Ann Chamberlain, Associate Planner Chairman White opened the public hearing at 7:51 p.m. The following people spoke: Marvin Brown, 520 W. 1st Street, expressed concern with the impacts on the surrounding area by additional parking and traffic generated by this retail project. Louis Ferracone, 426 W. 1st, president of Tustin Commons Homeowners, expressed concern with water drainage from the parking lot of the proposed building onto their housing project; traffic generated by the retail uses; and, the view from the second floor windows into the condominum recreation/common area. He suggested screening to protect the complex's privacy. Harry Gates, applicant, explained that they are not really in favor of retail use on this site, but according to the City Code they are required to provide retail space. The views from the building will be oriented away from the residential complex. When the neighboring condominium complex was built, the City Engineer reviewed the drainage and required holes in the block wall be installed. He hopes this was projected to accommodate drainage for future development of his site. Chairman White closed the public hearing at 8:14 p.m. Commission discussion ensued concerning the necessity of retail uses and the impact on the area from additional parking and traffic. Commissioner Sharp moved, Well second to approve Use Permit 85-6 by the adoption of Resolution No. 2215 with Conditions of Approval attached in Exhibit "A" providing windows facing the condominium complex be screened to the satisfaction of City Staff.

Johnson, Jr. ~ Construction Coordinator AWJ:mc 10000 Lakewood Boulevard Downey California 90240 (213) 923-9876 Report to the Planning c:ommission SUBJECT: ITEH 3 LAND USE SURVEY/APPROPRIATE ZONE DESIGNATION FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED ON YORBA STREET BETWEEN FIRST STREET AND IRVINE BOULEVARD BACKGROUND: Initially as a result of an inquiry from City Council, and subsequently upon the the Community Development Department began to on Yorba Street, direction of the Commission, research zoning and land use issues concerning' properties between First Street and 1trine Boulevard. The emphasis on the study included: * Existing land use/traffic volumes . Alternative zone designations * Alternative methods of implementing zoning regulations * Long range considerations From these broad categories, specific recommendations were derived and will be presented for the Commission's consideration. CURRENT LAND USE, ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS The subject properties consist of three primary land uses: Professional Office, Retail Commercial and Single Family Residential. With the exception of lot 3, {see attached Exhibit "A") all of the single family structures are located on the east side of Yorba. In most cases, each lot has consistency between land use, zoning and general plan designations. The outstanding exceptions are as follows: Lot 2 Lot 3 Lot 4 Lots 16 + 17 General Plan - Public & Institutional (P&I) Zone - Multiple Family (R-3) Land Use - Professional Offices General Plan - Multiple Family Zone - Estate Residential (E-4) Land Use - Single Family Residential General Plan - Multiple Family Zone - Estate Residential Land Use - Professional Office General Plan - Multiple Family Zone - Multiple Family (R-3) Land Use - Professional Office corn munity Developrnem Department Planning Commission Report Yorba Street zoning page two Lots 18 & 19 General Plan - Commercial Zone - Commercial General (CG-PUD) Land Use - Residential With the existing land uses outlined, a discussion of the appropriateness of any zone changes for the subject properties must be addressed. ISSUE ANALYSIS: Two primary factors to be considered concerning the subject properties are traffic volumes and lot sizes. Traffic Volumes Since Yorba is classified as a secondary highway on the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, careful consideration to traffic volumes and incompatibility of residential uses need to be addressed. The latest figures available from the Engineering Department show a daily traffic volume count of 9,500 vehicles on Yorba. By comparison, traffic counts on multiple-family residential streets such as San Juan between Newport and Red Hill, Mitchell between Newport and Red Hill, and Williams between Alliance and McFadden range from 3250 to 6250 to 6550 respectively. Traffic counts in single family areas are far lower. For example, Myrtle Street north of McFadden {1245), "B" Street between Main and First (1150), and Loretta Lane between Bonnet and Santa Clara (483). As indicated by these numbers, the existing traffic volume on Yorba is no longer conducive to single family residential units. Especially at such time that redevelopment is undertaken. Lot Sizes The second major factor that should be considered prior to any zone change is the sizes of the parcels in the area. Particularly, the lots on the east side of Yorba. Lots 8 through 18 all have 50 foot frontages and are approximately 120 feet deep. This lot depth is further reduced by a fifteen foot street widening dedication, required when a parcel changes use. This leaves a buildable site area of 5250 square feet, which under present Single Family, Multiple Family and Professional Office District standards, is substandard for any development. Lot sizes on the west side of Yorba do not present these problems. In fact, it appears that any revisions to zoning or general plan designations on the west side of Yorba would be relatively easy to implement when considering lot size and configuration. Therefore the remainder of this report will predominately address implications of a zone change/general plan amendment on the east side of Yorba. Community Development Department Planning Commission Report Yorba Street Zoning page three POTENTIAL ZONE DESIGNATIONS: In staff's analysis, there are three logical scenarios that could be utilized in terms of land use designations on the subject properties. In,each case, it would be recommended that Lots 2, 3, and 4 be established for professional office development. The three alternatives and their implications are for the east side of Yorba and are as follows: Do Nothing: As with any project, an alternative to be considered is ~to retain the status quo. However, as previously mentioned, the high traffic volume on Yorba creates an unacceptable environment for redevelopment of single family dwellings. Additionally, resulting from the sizes of the respective parcels, Variances are required for development. With a single-family residential zoning, there is no incentive to consolidate lots, nor to reduce the number of curb cuts and driveways emptying onto Yorba. Reduction in these accessways would reduce conflicting traffic movements. o Incorporation of Yorba and Mt. View Properties into a Specific Plan {Residential): A second alternative, addressing some long term issues, would be to create'a specific plan for residential development utilizing properties on the east side of Yorba and the west .side of Mt. View. Implications of such an alternative are complex. Positive impacts of this alternative would be 'that development could be oriented toward Mt. View and ingress and egress on Yorba could be eliminated. Development incentives could be included in the plan that would ensure orderly development with lot consolidation, internal traffic circulation plans and appropriate setback and height requirements suited for this particular area. The major negative impact of this alternative is that a plan oriented toward Mt. View, would require development of Yorba properties to be contingent upon acquisition of properties on Mt. View. However, the character of the homes on Mt. View is such that pressures for redevelopment are not a strong as for the Yorba properties. In other words, even with development incentives, the fact that there are multiple property owners involved, and given the "old town" character of the street, it is not likely that development timetables on Yorba and Mt. View will be parallel. Incorporation of the Properties on the East Side of Yorba into a Specific Plan (Professional Office): The third alternative for consideration is tu institute a specific plan providing for the development of professional offices along both sides of Yorba. Staff considers this to be the most logical change in land use for the area. With a properly enacted Specific Plan, immediate development of each individual lot {new construction or conversion of existing structures) could be accomplished. Additionally, Community Developmeot Department J Planning Commission Report Yorba Street zoning page four with development incentives (i.e., permitting two stories on consolidated lots) a more orderly development pattern can be implemented. Further, the professional designation would minimize the potential adverse impacts of new construction upon the residential properties abutting the subject lots. This is in contrast to more intense retail/commercial development. Also as a benefit of lot consolidation, the number of drive approaches onto Yorba could be reduced. What may be considered a negative impact of this alternative is that the lots on Mt. View will be limited to single-family development. The combination of the street width on Mt. View {aprox. 32' curb to curb) with the substandard lot sizes, more intensive land uses are not seen as appropriate in the foreseeable future. PROPOSED PARN4~RS FOR A SPECIFIC PLAN: Essentially two actions are required to implement changes in land use designations: an amendment to the general plan, and appropriate changes in zoning. Of the lots shown on the attached exhibit, it is recommended that only lots 2, 3, 4, and 8 through 17 be included in a specific plan. It is felt that the remaining lots are properly zoned and have appropriate general plan classifications. For the lots within the specific plan area, the General Plan should be changed to Professional Office {PR) and the Specific Plan for the area should permit only the development of professional offices. The affect of these actions is graphically demonstrated in Exhibit "B". For purposes of discussion,the following outline shows the basic format and development standards that would be proposed at such time formal action on the specific plan is taken. OBJECTIVES A. Preserve and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the area by encouraging the orderly development of the subject property. B. Plan for a consistent neighborhood development which conforms with the General Plan for the City of Tustin and goals of the community. C. Develop standards that will be uniformly applied to all lots within the specific plan area, regardless of ownership. D. Encouragement of lot consolidation within the specific plan area. E. Reduction in the number of curb-cuts and drive approaches currently providing ingress and egress onto Yorba Street.

On February 2, 1981, the Planning Commission approved the development of a 208-unit residential condominium project upon an application of The Robert P. Warmington Company. The project was never acted upon and the permit expired. In September of 1983, Use Permit 83-16 was approved to authorize construction of a 161-unit residential condominium project to Pacific Coast Builders. The sale of the property was not finalized and The Robert P. Warmington Company retained ownership of the parcel. On March 12, 1984 the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 84-5 which authorized the development of a 156 unit condominium project while varying from the open space requirements by 8~ (58~ versus ANALYSIS: At this time the owner and a prospective developer have submitted the attached correspondence requesting a one year extension of the use permit and tentative map whereupon said use permit would expire March 12, 1985. (The tentative map does not expire until August 27, 1986). In staff's opinion, several substantial changes have occurred since the use permit was approved in 1984. The zoning ordinance has been amended as follows: community Development Deparlment Planning Commission Report Extension of UP 84-5 page two I. Section 944296 "Maximum Lot Coverage" of the Tustin City Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 6. Open Space Requirement A minimum of 400 square feet of open space recreation area shall be provided per dwelling unit within a common designated recreation area. Private attached ground level patios may be credited toward the open space requirement if restricted to only permit covers open on three sides. In addition to the recreation area requirement, all structural setback areas, excluding driveways and walkways shall be landscaped. II. Section 922497 "Off Street Parking" of the Tustin City is hereby amended to read as follows: 7. Off Street Parking A minimum of two (2) assigned covered parking spaces shall be provided per unit. Additionally, one (1) unassigned open guest parking space shall be provided for every four (4) units. III. Section 922498 "Subdivision of Property Developed Under the District" of the Tustin City Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 8. Subdivision of Property Developed Under the District Upon completion of a property development in the P-D District, no portion of the property involved in said development shall be severed Or sold, unless said severed parcel and the development thereon complies with all provisions set forth for the P-D District and is approved by the Director of Community Development prior to such subdivision. The project received approval under a different owner and developer and they were given a year to proceed. Extension of this use permit is at the discretion of the Planning Commission and is not necessarily automatic or mandatory. Since the present owner and prospective developer are not ready to proceed at this time and since the developer and owner have changed, staff recommends that this extension request be denied. The applicant may therefore resubmit plans to the Planning Commission at such time as the new code requirements are incorporated into their plan. Community Development Department Planning Commission Report Extension of UP 84-5 page three RECOMtIENDATION: Staff recommends requested extension of Use Permit 84-5 be denied'.
