A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING- COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 84-1
AUTHORIZING ONE (1) 20.70 SQUARE FOOT TENANT
IDENTIFICATION SIGN TO BE INSTALLED ON THE WEST
BUILDING ELEVATION AND ONE (1) 20.50 SQUARE FOOT
WALL SIGN ON THE SOUTHERN ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE
LOCATED AT 653 "B" STREET.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin finds and determines as
follows:
A. That a proper application for a variance (Variance No. 84-1) was
filed by Mr. James Lindsey requesting authorization to vary with
Tustin City Code Section 9495 by installing one (1) tenant
identification sign' of 20.70 square feet on the west building
elevation, and one (1) 20.50 square foot tenant identification
on the southern building elevation on the structure at 653 S.
"B" Street.
B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said
application.
C. That the project is categorically exempt from the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act.
D. That establishment, maintenance and operation of the use as
applied for is justified pursuant to Section 9471 of the Tustin
City Code.
E. That the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use as
applied for would not under the circumstance of this case, be
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood as
evidenced by the following:
1. That as a result of the location of the building, an
exceptional circumstance peculiar to the site exists since
a monument type sign for building identification is not
feasible. Therefore, increased square footage for tenant
identification is justifiable. Also, the location of the
commercial business in a predominately industrial zoned
area warrants additional sign identification.

STATUS:
REQUEST:
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR IN CONFOR/4ANCE WITH
CEQA.
AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT A 2418 SQUARE FOOT SAVINGS AND LOAN IN
THE LARWIN SQUARE SHOPPIHG:CENTER.
BACKGROUNO:
On 0uly 11, 1983, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 83-13 authorizing
the construction of a 2,400 square 'foot building to be occupied by Home Federal
Savings & Loan. Subsequently, Use Permit 83-13 was appealed and the Planning
Commission approval overturned by City Council. The Council action was without
prejudice thereby allowing the applicant to meet Council concerns and reapply
for substantially the same use at a later date. Specific concerns of the
council were inadequate parking; the use of compact spaces to resolve parking
problems; traffic circulation patterns; and pedestrian hazards.
In an effort to meet concerns of Council, the applicant has submitted a revised
plan relocating the proposed savings and loan to the southwest corner of Newport
and Bryan Avenue, and has conducted a traffic analysis for the center. As
submitted, the new plan provides the proper number of parking spaces required by
Use Permit 76-25 and meets the other requirements of the C-2 zone.
Site Analysis
The location of the new structure is generally the southwest corner of Bryan and
Newport Avenues. This location was chosen in part as a result of comments made
at previous City Council hearings.
Community Development Deparlment
Planning Commission Report
October 22, 1984
page two
The applicant submitted a traffic analysis with the revised site plan,
describing potential traffic impacts and proposed two alternative circulation
plans to reduce traffic congestion_ and increase pedestrian and vehicular
safety. Since circulation and parking were then major concerns expressed by
Council, the discussion of these issues will be addressed in detail.
Traffic Analysis
As i~dicated in the traffic study, the new use should not generate an adverse
impact in relation to existing traffic volumes for the center and on Newport
Avenue.
Concerning traffic circulation, two alternatives have been presented by the
traffic engineer that would modify the center entrance at Newport and Bryan.
Presently at this entrance there is the potential for several conflicting
traffic movements.
Alternative 1 as shown would eliminate all of these conflicting movements and
increse pedestrian safety. However, the trade-offs for this safer configuration
are that: 1) traffic Will be diverted into the center of the parking lot and
required to make a difficult right turn in order to exit; and 2) the restricted
flow may discourage customers from patronizing portions of the center.
Alternative 2 on the other hand, would allow for exiting on Newport Avenue as it
occurs presently. However, ingress movements would be directed into the main
drive aisle eliminating one conflicting traffic movement. The applicant also
intends to use traffic control devices such as "stop" and "right turn only"
signs at this junction to reduce potential hazards. This second alternative has
been incorporated into the site plan and is the applicant's preferred choice.
When considering the need for improved safety in the center, and the city's
traffic consultant's recommendation to use Alternative 1, staff considers
Alternative 1 the better overall choice. To optimize safety, stop signs and
lane markings throughout the lot should also be included in the design. If the
project is approved, these modifications should be conditions of approval.
As to the parking and circulation impacts of the free-standing automated teller,
the proposed delineation of five parking stalls adjacent to the teller
restricted for "teller use only" should resolve any problems. Also, with the

Parkin~ Analysis.
As submitted, the center including the proposed addition, has the number of
parking spaces required by Use Permit approval in 1977. In fact, the number of
spaces provided for the new savings and loan is in excess of that required by
current code. The problems in the center associated with parking result from
two factors. One is simply, the success of the center, and the other is the
remote location of 60 parking spaces along Centennial Way.
The use of compact spaces on the site is minimal. Only 18 of the ?98 required
parking spaces are compact, with an overall percentage of less than 4%. This
minimal use of compact stalls should alleviate the Council's concern of over use
of compact spaces.
Based on information presented in the traffic analysis that the new building
will generate a negligable increase in traffic, and since 10 parking spaces have
been added to accommodate the savings and loan, a major modification/renovation
of the existing lot at this time is not warranted.
CONCLUSION:
When the subject center was renovated in 1977 the ratio for determining parking
spaces was 1:250 square feet of floor area. There was no delineation between
office or retail space. As such, the center has fewer parking spaces than would
be required under current code. However, as mentioned, it would not be
appropriate to require a major site renovation to make up this deficiency.
Instead, staff would simply encourage the improvement to
existing circulation patterns. The relatively small size of the proposed
addition will not overburden the center. However, the property owner should be
notified that future additions to the center would require reassessment of the
center's conditions of approval authorizing the 1977 remodeling.
With regards to the subject project, if approved the attached conditions listed
in Exhibit "A" should be included in the resolution of approval.
RECOI~ENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve Use Permit 84-23 subject
to the conditions contained in Exhibit "A" attached.

17432 AND 17442 MITCHELL AVENUE
R-3 - 2,000 (MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL)
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR TO CONFORM WITH THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM I~JLTIPLE-FAHILY RESIDENTIAL (R-3 -
2,000) TO PLANNED COMMUNITY MULTIPLE-FAMILY (PC-MF) AND ADOPT
A DEVELOPMENT PLAN PERIqITING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A
SENIOR CITIZEN COMPLEX.
BACKGROUND:
A change of zone has been requested for two properties on the south side of
Mitchell Avenue between Newport Avenue and South "B" Street. These properties
were annexed into the City in lg78 and pre-zoned {R-3 - 2,000) multiple-family
residential. At this time the applicant is requesting zoning entitlement to
specifically approve 20 units of apartments for senior housing only.
The actual processing of this. project requires the following actions by the
Planning Commission and City Council:
A. Rezoning of the property to {PC-MF) Planned Community Multiple Family.
B. Adoption of a development plan with it's associated conditions as part of
the zone change ordinance.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The development plan submitted with this application proposes to construct 20
residential units for senior citizens, of which 12 units will be maintained at
Fair Market Rates for Section 8 certificate holders for a period of at least
five Years. The remaining 8 units will be rented at free market rates for
seniors only.
, Community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Zone Change 84-6
page two
The plans submitted which include a site plan and building elevations are the
development plans necessary pursuant to the Planned Cbmmunity Zone. For
approval of a planned community project, the developer must specify building
type, character, height of structure and its location to surrounding properties
and adjoining streets. Since the plan would become part of this zone change
ordinance, it is subject to both Planning Commission and Council approval and
canno~ be modified without an amendment to the ordinance. In addition, final
development plans shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
SURROUNDING LAND USES:
The subject property is approximately 140 feet in width fronting on the
southerly side of Mitchell Avenue with 164 feet of depth bounded by a single
family one-story dwelling on the west and a self-service gasoline station and
parking lot to the east. Along the southerly property line are two-story
apartment structures.
SI~ PLAN:
The site plans indicate construction of an "E" shaped two-story building
composed of residential dwelling units connected by two laundry rooms.
With a total of'20 units, the applicant is proposing 24 on-site parking spaces.
Since the multiple family provisions of the zoning ordinance would not apply in
this requested zone, this project is not subject to typical parking or density
standards. Therefore, with appproximately 1.2 parking spaces per dwelling unit
the applicant is anticipating that some of the senior citizens will not own
automobiles. In 'comparison to the Senior Board and Care Home recently approved
on Bryan Avenue, that project had 24 spaces for 85 rooms while this project has
24 spaces for 20 apartments. With 12 units being held for Section 8 certificate
holders, it is unlikely that any of those residents would own a car.
The question of density is as follows: Under the R-3 - 2,000 designation the
applicant would be allowed to build eleven (11) units on this 22,960 square foot
parcel. Under the new zoning classification, the applicant will be allowed to
build 20 units. The justification for the increased density is that this
project will be a seniors only complex.
ELEVATIONS:
The elevations as proposed show a stucco finish with tile roof and wood trim.
The rear (south) elevation faces another rear elevation of an existing apartment
complex and thus will be out of view. However, the second story of the rear
side elevations will be seen from Newport Avenue and "B" Street. It is
suggested that a roof parapet be added for decorative effect. Since the
building elevations presented are conceptual in nature, the precise design and
colors utilized should be subject to future staff approval.
, Community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Zone Change 84-6
page three
ANALYSIS:
Staff has met-with the project applicant Mr. Mark Fergusen on several occasions
to review the project plans and discuss the "affordable" housing' issue. Staff
is supportive of this senior citizen housing since it is a residential land use
compatible with the surrounding uses and it's accessibility to nearby shopping
areas, bus service, and medical services. The Tustin Community Hospital and
other medical offices are all within walking distance.
The physical site design, setbacks, parking and other features appear reasonable
to staff, if this project is specifically deed restricted to senior citizens.
If not, the parking would not be adequate for a typical apartment project.
CONCLUSION:
Staff supports' this proposal but would like to see the elevations upgraded for
the areas that will be seen from the east and west property lines. The
conditions of approval are listed in Exhibit "A" and attached to this report.
RECOI~ENDATION:
Recommend approval of Zone Change 84-6 to the City Council by the adoption of

REYOCATION HEARING FOR USE PERI, IT80-21
WINDSOR GARDENS APAJ~TMENTS
1651 MITCHELL AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
In November 1980, the City approved Use Pemit 80-21 and Tentative Tract 11336
authorizing conversion of the 70 unit Windsor Gardens Apartment project into
condominiums. Two building permits were issued in 1981, one for the garage
parking structure and site improvements, while the second building permit was
for interior modifications to the individual apartment units. Since 1981,
construction has intermittently occurred,:yet to date has not been completed in
conformance with the approved use permit.
DISCUSSION:
The Tustin Municipal Code provides in .Section 9293(c) that any use permit
granted in accordance with the terms of the zoning ordinance may be revoked by
the City Council upon recommendation of the Planning Commission if any of the
terms of the use permit are violated, or if the following findings are made by
the Planning Commission and City Council:
1. The continuance of the use would be detrimental to the health, safety,
morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in
the neighborhood of such use; or
2. Would be injurious or detrimental to property and improvements in a
neighborhood; or
3. Would be injurious or detrimenta} to the general welfare of the City.
It is the opinion of City staff and the City Attorney that conditions of Use
Permit 80-21 have been violated since there has been a continued failure to
fulfill the conditions established to convert the property to condominiums.
On many occasions during the past several years, staff has met and worked with
the propert yowner, Mt. Eugene Vollucci from Cal State Development, Inc., in an
attempt to facilitate the swift conversion of this project. Staff has offered
every available extension of time and technical assistance to no avail. For
whatever reason, whether financial or otherwise, the project has not been
completed in accordance with approved plans, yet Cal State Development recently
offered apartments for sale as condominiums. While the City encourages this
project to be converted in a swift manner, it appears that this will not occur.
Therefore, action must be taken by the City to terminate the process and
,, community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Windsor Gardens Apartments

ensure- the property is properly maintained as a habitable apartment project.
However, if Mr. Vollucci or his authorized representative wishes to provide some
assurance to the Planning Commission that the project will be completed in a
timely manner the Commission msy desire to establish specific dates of
completion for both conversion of individual apartment units and construction of
remaining property improvements such as landscaping, swimming .pool and other
promised amenities.
Staff will be prepared at the Planning Commission hearing to make a visual
presentation of the property's condition and address Commission concerns.
Attached to this transmittal are copies of recent communications concerning this
project outlining the City's patience inr esolving this matter.
R£COI~,~ENDATION:
That the Planning Commission received staff's report, open the public herlng and
accept testimony from the property owner and any interested individual
responding to the public notification. The Commission may then impost any
additional conditins into the subject use permit or recommend to the City
Council that said use permit be revoked.

My Client: Cal State Associates Inc.
Subject: Use Permit No. 80-21, 1651 Mitchell
Dear Mr. Warren:
My client has brought this matter to my attention and my independent investigation
indicates that while the new development tax may have not been paid, it was never
requested and it was certainly never requested or billed by the prior administration.
The demand for a schedule of construction for the conversion of units is untimely in
view of the fact that the conversion has been completed.
Indeed, the conversion of these individual units has been performed in a timely
fashion by my client and the entire project has been completed.
My client wishes me to advise you that they have invested in excess of $2 million
into this project and your recommendation that the permit be terminated will be
grossly damaging to my client. In the event that the permit is terminated, my client
has asked me to remind you that they will hold the City of TustIn and other
pros~etive defendants liable for such actions.

Dear Mr. ¥ollucci:
It has tome to our attention that on site advertisement for the sale of
condominiums at subject site is being conducted. This is of concern to the City
staff due to the fact that individual unit conversions have not been completed.
Specifically, the conversion building permit is no longer valid and new permits
must be applied for in order to perform the required work.
In addition, your firm has not paid the new development tax nor furnished the
City with a construction program to ensure the safety of existing apartment
residents as requested during our meeting with you on May 2, 1984
As a result, the Community Development Department will request that the Tustin
Planning Commission consider the revocation of the use permit which authorized
the conversion of the Windsor Garden Apartments. The request will be based upon
the following findings:
1. That the conversion process has continued without payment of the new
development tax, a violation of Ordinance No. ?72; and
2. That a schedule of construction for the conversion of units to ensure the
health, safety and welfare of the residents has not been submitted for
review and approved by the City; and
3. That the unit conversion permit has been allowed to lapse by the failure
of work to progress in a timely fashion on the individual units; and

SUBJECT: NOT~CE OF INSPECTION RESULTS - WINDSOR GARDF~NS APJdtT~NTS, TUSTIN
Dear Mr. Vollucci:
The City of Tustin Community Development Department recently inspected your
property, the Windsor Gardens Apartments at ~6151 Mitchell Avenue, Tustin,
California, to determine compliance with city Health, Fire and Building Code
Regulations. This inspection was prompted at the request of your tenants.
The City cannot condone continual delays in :he construction process which
present hazardous conditions for your tenants and eliminate on-site vehicle
parking. Furthermore, your building permit for conversion of the residential
units to condominiums has expired and no effort has been made to renew the
permit or complete construction.
The Tustin City Council requests that you immediately proceed as follows:
1. Correct all code violations as detailed in the attached notices from the
Orange County Fire Marshal and City Building Inspector.
2. Provide in all occupied units both hot and cold running water as well as
space heating in accordance with City Building Regulations.
$. Renew your expired building .permit.
4. Proceed with conversion construction in conformance with your use permit.
The Council has further directed that I review the status of your compliance
with their requests thirty days from receipt of this letter. If construction
has not diligently commenced towards completion of the project and all repairs
noted by each inspector have not been complied with as indicated, I will proceed
with scheduling a public hearing before the Planning Commission for consideration
of revoking your Use Permit #80-21.

The City Council will only consider your request for modification of the re-
location plan and adjustment of stabilized pre-conversion rents if you intend
to comply with the aforementioned requests.
Concerning renewal of your building permit, City records indicate that you did
not pay the construction conversion tax according to Municipal Code Section 2605 b 1
for either the Californian or Windsor Gardens Apartments. Payment of said tax is
required by OT~inance prior to issuance of any building permits for conversion.
Therefore, the following tax payment is now due prior to re-issuance of the
Windsor Gardens building permit..70 units @ $450.00 = 3~~'~- (Windsor
Gardens only)
Should you have any questions concerning this subject, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

DEVELOPt~ENT PROPOSAL:
The applicant proposes to develop 104,300 square feet of research and
development uses in Buildings 1, 3 and 4; 10,000 square feet of retail
commercial in building 2; and 39,800 square feet of professional office in
building 5. The site plans submitted and attached to this submittal indicate
384 parking spaces for the R/D area {1 space per 270 square feet). 159 parking
spaces for the office area {1 space per 250 square feet) and 50 parking spaces
for the retail area {1 space per 200 square feet). Total parking provided will
exceed the IIC standards, however reciprocal parking, utility and access
easements will have to be recorded with the parcel map for this project (Parcel
Community Development Department
Planning Commission Report
Use Permit 84-24
page four
Map 84-1031). Vehicular access to the project will be provided from Walnut
Avenue and Franklin Avenue. After Jamboree Road is improved southerly of Walnut
Avenue, to join Moulton Parkway, two additional right turn only driveways could
provide additional access to and from the site.
Building elevations submitted indicate medium sandblasted concrete-panels with
dark green glass. The proposed architecture is similar to that of other
recently approved R&D projects in the Redhill/Valencia area.
ISSUE ANALYSIS:
The two major,issues for this project are traffic and a market analysis for the
retail potentials for this area.
MARKET ANALYSIS:
In 1973, when this Irvine Industrial Park was conceived by the City and The
Irvine Company, l0 acres were set aside for retail commercial uses. At that
time no market analysis was prepared to measure the potential for the retail
development.
Enclosed is a market analysis prepared by the Research Network Limited which
concludes that the site does not offer sufficient visibility or traffic flow to
generate significant market support inflow of more than 11,000 square feet of
retail uses.
TP. AJrFIC ANALYSIS:
Enclosed is a traffic analysis which evaluates the proposal submitted by the
applicant. One of the most significant findings made by this report is that if
the project would have been built as previously proposed with 100% retail uses
on 10 acres, about 11,340 vehicles trips per day would be generated. The
project as proposed with office, reserch and development uses and commercial
will generate about 2,000 vehicles trips per day. (ADT)
Unfortunately for local city streets, the 1973 EIR had predicted that by 1981,
the entire industrial area would be built out while Jamboree and the Interstate
5 interchange would have been constructed in lg78. Mr. Auer however is not
required to improve Jamboree Road adjacent to his property. The construction of
Jamboree is the responsibility of The Irvine Company. The city's traffic
engineer has reviewed the traffic study and is working with the traffic
consultant to indicate the exact mitigation measures needed to assure the best
possible traffic solution for the two affected intersections - {1 Walnut and
Franklin) (2 Walnut and the future Jamboree). These measures are listed in the
attached Exhibit "A" (Conditions of Approval).

CONCLUSIONS:
Philosophically a new -10 acre retail center would be preferred for this
location. However, since such a project has not materialized, nor is it likely
in the future, staff supports this application as submitted.

A final grading plan based upon U.S.G.S. datum will be required. This
plan should delineate how all on-site storm water drainage will be
disposed of.
All wor~ within the public right-of-way should be shown on the final site
and/or grading plan and should be so referenced with appropriate city
standard drawing references. These improvements will include but not be
-limited to the following:
a. driveways
b. domestic/fire water services
c. sidewalks
The most westerly driveway on Walnut Avenue (at the median opening) is
shown at 30 feet of width. The existing radius type driveway opening
is currently constructed at a width of 40 feet. The final plan should be
revised to refect this width.
The most easterly driveway, as shown, will be limited to right turn
ingress to and right turn egress from the site only. This driveway should
also be constructed as a radius type driveway.
Vehicular access rights to Walnut avenue at this location will require
relinquishment by the City Council. Prior to finalization of these plans,
the developer should request this relinquishment by letter to the City
Council.
Franklin Avenue is shown as an 80 foot wide right-of-way. It is a
variable width right-of-way from 80 ft. to 60 ft. and should be shown as
such on the final plans.
A parcel map shall be recorded to subdivide this parcel.
The most northerly driveway on Franklin may be located in a conflicting
area with respect to the pavement striping on Franklin Avenue. This
striping should be plotted on the final plan to determine if the driveway
requires relocation.
A sewer plan should be prepared indicating the on-site layout of all sewer
facilities with respect to the proposed water facilities.
Payment of Orange County Sanitation District No. 7 sewer connection fees
in the amount of $50.00 per 1,000 sq. ft. of building area will be
required at the time a building permit is issued.
