ORDINANCE NO. 936 - EXTENSION OF INTERIM URGENCY OROINANCE FOR
FIRST STREET
, J
DISCUSSION:
The City Council at its meeting on June 3, 1985 by a four-fifths vote adopted an
interim urgency ordinance prohibiting development on First Street from the Costa
Mesa Freeway to Newport Avenue pending completion of a specific plan.
Pursuant to government code section 65858, the original interim ordinance No.
933 shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption
unless extended by a four-fifths vote for a period not to exceed 10 months and
fifteen days. In doing so, The Council shall make findings as proposed in the
attached ordinance that there is a current and immediate threat to the public
health, safety or welfare and approvals of subdivisions, use permits and
variances would result in a threat to the community.
Ten days prior to the expiration of the interim ordinance now in effect, the
legislative body must issue a written report describing measures ~aken to
alleviate the condition whichled to the adoption of the ordinance. The
following summary constitutes compliance with this requirement of state law:
Following adoption of the interim urgency ordinance on June 3, 1985, Community
Development Staff commenced immediate preparation of a request for proposals to
cause the completion of a specific land use plan for First Street from the Costa
Mesa Freeway to Newport Avenue. A copy of the Request for Proposals is attached
hereto. The purpose of the specific plan is to inventory, analyze and propose
the most appropriate land use designations for developable property along First
Street based upon a market analysis and desires of the community toward
development of the street. The plan should result in a workable document
specifying consistent development standards. Preparation of the "First Street
Specific Plan" should require approximately four months for completion upon
award of contract. Staff therefore estimates this moratorium should remain in
effect until November 15, 1985.

ORDINANCE NO. 936
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, DE-
CLARING A MORATORIUM ON DEVELOPMENT OF
PROPERTIES ON FIRST STREET WESTERLY OF
NEWPORT AVENUE
The City Council of the City of Tustin, California, does
ordain as follows:
I. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
ae
The City Council has directed that the
Commission prepare a specific plan
development of properties on First Street,
of Newport Avenue.
Ce
Planning
for the
westerly
Existing lots and parcels are of substandard width
and depth which preclude quality development compat-
ible with a major arterial.
Mixed land uses of residential, commercial, and
office development and the absence of precise land
use designations are injurious to the public health,
safety and welfare.
There is a current and immediate threat to the public
health, safety and welfare and the approval of the
additional subdivisions, use permits, variances,
building permits, or any other applicable entitlement
for use which is required in order to comply with the
zoning provisions of the Tustin City Code would
result in a threat to public health, safety and
welfare because existing lots and parcels are of
substandard width and depth which would typically
preclude development consistent and compatible with
traffic and other aspects of their location on a
major arterial street.
Pursuant to Council direction the Planning Department
and Planning Commission are conducting and will con-
tinue to conduct a study of the need for an ordinance
further regulating or prohibiting certain development
and uses in the area described hereinabove.
II. A.
The City Council hereby declares a moratorium on
issuance of permits or approvals of any kind for
development projects in the hereinabove described
area property without first obtaining a use permit
therefor, pending completion of the study and report

of the Planning Commission and action thereon by the
City Council. The moratorium declared hereby shall
extend for a period of not to exceed ten (10) months
and fifteen (15) days from the date of adoption of
this ordinance, unless duly extended or terminated,
or such shorter period within which the subject study
may be completed.
B. This ordinance is adopted to protect the public
health, safety and welfare and is adopted as an
urgency measure by a four-fifth (4/5) vote pursuant
to the provisions of Section 65858 of the California
Government Code and shall take effect immediately.
The urgency is based on the fact that the
construction of projects on any of the properties in
the subject area prior to completion of the study
would pose a threat to the public health, safety and
welfare by the existence of developments inconsistent
and incompatible with the traffic and other aspects
of their location on a major arterial street.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of
the City of Tustin held on the ..... day of ._, 1985.

PURPOSE:
GOALS:
To determine and propose specific land uses for undeveloped
or underdeveloped parcels reflecting the community's best
interest and propose consistent architectural standards for
the identified corridor through the creati'on and
implementation of a specific plan.
1. Identify the development potential, on a parcel by
parcel basis of all properties within the Specific Plan
Area.
2. To maximize the development of commercial/retail uses
typified by retail, office, restaurant and service
business, with an emphasis upon capturing a greater
percentage of taxable sales.
OBJECTIVES:
Create an attractive, compatible and consistant
physical appearance in the corridor area regardless of
the type land use.
Identify specific strategies to implement 1, 2 & 3
above.
Through the creation and implementation of a Specific
Plan, the following objectives will be accomplished:
Establish a listing on a parcel by parcel basis,
indicating the most appropriate land uses for each
parcel within the Specific Plan Area given existing
physical and economical constraints. At least three
uses, in priority order, shall be given for each
parcel.
To explore various- alternatives that would alter
existing physical conditions within the area in an
effort to increase the viability of retail development
on sites not otherwise conducive to sales tax
generating uses.
Establish design and architectural standards that will
provide a consistent, complimentary, and orderly
transition of development on vacant infill and/or
underdeveloped properties.

Development of an on site landscape/streetscape plan
that will provide a theme improving the visual
appearance of the project area, creating continuity
within the corridor, as well ,as providing a
transitional link between the corridor and development
in the surrounding community.
SCOPE OF gORK:
Task 1:
Land Use Study: Identify all parcels in the specific plan
area noting lot size (width & depth) and list existing land
uses of each parcel and their conformity or non-conformity
with applicable zoning.
Task 2:-
Market Analysis of Existin9 Conditions: With the
information obtained from Task 1, a market analysis shall
be conducted for the purpose of determining the viability of
retail/commercial development on each parcel.
Task 3:
Recommended 'changes required to enhance retail viability.:
If the results of the market analysi~ indicate that existing
physical conditions within the study area are not conducive
to retail land uses,, then specific recommendations on what
.steps may be taken to alter conditions to enhance the
viability of retail development in the corridor are to be
presented. If constraints along the corridor are such that
retail developments are not likely, in spite of recommended
changes this conclusi.on must also be explicitly stated.
Task 4:
Recommended Land Uses and Design Standards: Based upon the
information accumu)ated throug~ t~e ~irst three tasks, two
categories of recommended land uses shall be proposed;
In descending priority, at least three alternatives
based on existing physical constraints; and
e
In descending pPiority, at 'least three alternatives
based upon the development opportunities identified i.n
Task 3.

In either listing, the land uses recommended shall be very
specific (i.e., restaurant, general office, fast-food
establishment, convenience market, or specific retail
outlet).
In addition to the recommendation of specific land.uses, a
comprehensive design theme for the entire corridor shall be
created. Precise design standards addressing lot size,
building setbacks, parking requirements, landscape
treatments, and specific building design and architecture
are to be established. Consideration must be given to any
alterations in physical conditions recommended or as result
of Task 3.
The i'ntent of the design plan is to improve the appearance
of the project area by creating standards that create a
consistent, complimentary development theme resulting in
continuity that transcends the corridor.
Included in the final design standards shall be provisions
to architecturally screen, from the First Street view, the
use of under building at grade parking.
Task 5:
Implementation of Specific Plan: T~e final product derived
from completion o~ TasKs 1 t~rough 4 will be a comprehensive
.design and land use plan for the subject corridor. The
format must be condusive to adoption as a Specific Plan
by Ordinance which will regulate development in the study
area. The Specific Plan is to be adopted by the Council
prior to November 15, 1985.
Task 6
Consultant Participation: The consultant selected will be
required to at least one public hearing before the Planning
Commission and City Council concerning the Specific Plan, as
well as to participate in one to three workshop sessions.
Additionally, periodic meetings with City Staff concerning
status of the project, at various stages will be mandatory.
