Presentation: Alan Warren, Senior Planner Alan Warren presented staff's recommendation as contained in Report to Planning Commission dated September 24, 1984. Commission discussion ensued concerning the formula for the parking standards,, revenue generated by the project and potential traffic generated. Chairman White opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. The following people spoke in favor of the project: Brent Jorgeson, Vice President of Operations with Health Care Iht'l, which owns Tustin Community Hospital, covered three topics: 1) background of Health Care Iht'l; 2) plans for improvement of the hospital and the development of the office building; and 3) answer questions from the Commission. They are trying to create an image as a medical center, not just a hospital. The office building will have three different types of uses: 1) physician office space; 2) ambulator~ and community services; and 3) retail (florist, pharmacy and medical supply). The are puchasing the Tustin Block Co.any property to add parking. He then discussed the supplemental data in response to the staff report he distribtted prior to the meeting. Co,~issioner Puckett questioned the 177 stall difference between the parking accommodations submittal and staff recommendation. Larry Stanfteld, architect for the project, explained the difference in parking ratios being leaseable physician office space, gross retail space 'and medical services and medical office building. They surveyed other cities requirements and the existing demand. Planning Commission Minutes September 24, [984 page four He further explained that the 23,000 square feet of retail and medical services is not all use space. Included are corridors~ lobby~ and mechanical space. At 23,000 x 1 parking space per thousand square feet = 23 spaces. Those combined with the 109 required for hospitals "338. They are proposing 400 on site parking spaces. Mark Ainslie, concerned citizen, raised the following points in support of the -project: during the hospital renovation the bed count will reduce from 170 to 140; there is about 10,000 s.f. on the first floor, for retail which should fall under the office standards. Seeing no one further wishing to speak, Chairman White closed the public hearing at 8:30 a.m. Commission discussion ensued concerning the reduction of beds. Mr. jorgeson explained that the facility is licensed for 203 beds. The actual beds in operation are nearer 170 consisting of 3 beds per room. The proposal is to change it to semi-private and private rooms. They Could not agree to reduce below the license capacity for loan purposes. The practical operating ratio is a reduced number from 170. The biggest difference between the staff analysis and the architect's is that if you tie the zoning requirement of 1/1000 s.f. they have log,o00 s.f. That is where the log came from. Mr. Stanfteld explained their survey revealed there is daily demand of 220 spaces including staff, visitors, doctors, etc. This medical office building will be tied to the hospital and there will be overlapping; doctors don't-need two spaces to park one car.

WHITE, Chairman DONNA ORR, Recording Secretary Report to the Planning commission DATE: OCTOBER 8, 1984 SUBdECT: VARIANCE 84-1 APPLICANT: dANES R. LINDSEY 653 SOUTH 'B' STREET TUSTIN, CA 92680 LOCATION: ZONING: 653 SOUTH 'B' STREET CENTRAL COI~ERCIAL (C-2) ABSTRACT ENVIRO#PIENTAL STATUS: CLASS 11 CATEGORICALLY EXEHPTION ITE~ NO. 8' BACKGROUNd: The subject variance was originally to be considered by the Planning Commission on August 27, 1984. At the request of the' applicant, the matter was continued at two consecutive meetings. [t is staff's .understanding that the request for continuance was submited in light of this department's recommendation, that Variance 84-1 be denied. The applicant was intending to resubmitt a revised plan that would have reduced the size of the signs requested. DISCUSSION: The applicant has submitted a revised sign plan consistin9 of one 20.70 square foot wall sign the west elevation ("B" Street side) and one 25.5 square foot wall sign for the southern elevation {facing the Santa Ana Freeway). This plan alters the .first submittal in that the freeway oriented sign has been reduced from the 54.75 square feet orginally requested. Both of these signs are still in excess of the number and area permitted by the sign code. The only signs permitted by code for an office use are as follows: 1. One {1) building identification sign, either wall or monument type, with a maximum area of 12 square feet. This signing is to indentify a building, not any specific tenant. 2. One (1) tenant identification sign, wall type with a maximum area of 6 square feet. Community Development Department VARIANCE 84-1 October 8, 1984 page two ANA~YS I S: The original staff recommendation on the subject variance was to deny the entire request. Even with the revised plan, the signing for the site is still in excess of what is permitted, and no justifiable hardship exists to grant the request as submitted. Therefore, staff is inclined to recommend denial of the Package under consideration. However, with the additional time allotted by the continuance, and a further examination of the sign code, staff can support the approval of the 20.70 square foot wall sign to be displayed on the "B" Street elevation. The basis of such a recommendation is founded upon section g470 of the code which allows for sign code exceptions. Under this section the City Council can approve signs that are not within the purview of the code and that meet any of the following criteria: 1. A subject property is developed with structural setback more -than two times the minimum front setback requirement of the di stri ct. 2. A subject property frontage is at least 75% of the minimum frontage requirements for like signing. 3. The proposed signing does not exceed more than one in number nor more than 15% in area of the aggregate size of signs authorized by the criteria of the district. 4. The proposed signing would be in substantial conformance with the purposes and intent of this Chapter and would not constitute a health or safety violation as described in Part 4 of this Chapter. As submitted, the project meets each of these criteria and therefore staff would recommend aproval of the exception. Since, the sign is larger than would otherwise be allowed, it is still appropriate for the Commission to act upon the request in this instance. Such an action would not be an encroachment of the City Council authority. RECOI~EMDED ACTION: It is recommended the Commission approve one (1) 20.70 square foot wall sign for tenant identification at 653 South "B" Street based on the findings, and subject in Resolution No. 2174. ~j~' DAV I S Assistant Planner JD/lg ATTACHMENTS: Staff Report of August 27, 1984 Letter of Justification of Applicant Resolution No. 2174 Corn munity Development Depar'~ment Report to the Planning commission PUBLIC HEARING NO.

DISCUSSION: Section 9495 of the Tustln City Code sets forth the number and size of signs that are permitted for professional offices. 'The signs authorized by code for a professional office building are as follows: identification stun (wall or monument type) not 1. One (1) building or .cen?~r_ .... "C~nter IdJntification Sign" is define, d to exceed 12 square tee: ~n ~Fea ........ as a sign identifying a center or complex. Said sign shall not contain Trade marks, Trade Names, Logos, Symbols, or any form of art that can be construed as the name of any single business in that center. Staff interprets this definition to also include "Building Identification". 2. One (1) tenant identification sign. (wall or under marquee type) not to exceed six square feet in area. The applicant is requesting to vary'from these criteria in that he wishes to install two tenant identification signs one of which is 54 square feet in area (south elevation) and one 20.25 square feet si~n (west elevation). Th~ request is to allow 68 square feet~f sign not otherwise authorized. , community Developmem Depanmem ¥~rt=nce 84-t page two ATthough the Sign Ordinance does provide for a variance procedure, it is quite specific as-to what conditions or c~tcums~nces ~st ~ present ~fote ~e Commission can approve such a variance. These conditions are as follows: That because of e~cept~onal c~tcumstances ~pp~tcab~e to :he subject ~' ~ct a p~cat~on of ~ts Chapter ~s found ~ depr~ve subject property, ?e ~ .... Pen~oved by other Properties ~n the v~c~n~ and under property ot pr~w,=~== d a similar circums~nces- 2. That the variance shall ~ subject ~ such conditions as will assure that the adjustmen~ thereby authorized will not constitu~ a g~nt of special privileges tnconsts~nt with the limitations upon other properties tn ~e vicinity and district in which the subject proper~ is loca~d. ANALYSIS: After reviewing the subject application and inspecting the .site, staff concludes that there are no exceptional circumstances peculiar to the subject property that warrant the granting of a variance. the property is clearly visible from the free~ay and the building is not obscured by any structures. The mere fact directions to the building are difficult to follow doe~ not constitute a hardship imposed by the sign code. Additionally, staff is concerned that approval of the subject variance could be viewed as a grant of special privilege, and may be a precedent setting action. Based on these conclusions, staff has no alternative but to recommend denial of Variance 84-~. It should be noted that upon revte~ of the sign plan the applicant was informed that staff would not support the variance request. RECOI~£#DED ACTION: . Staff recommends the Commission find that "no unusual circumstances exist on the subject property that warrant the granting of a variance" and that Variance 84-1 be denied by the adoption of Resolution No. 2[74. Assis~tant Planner JO:do -- Community Deve~opmenl Depar~mem California Dental Health Plan September 27, 1984 City of Tustin Planning Department Tustin, CA 92680 SUBJ: VARIANCE REQUEST ATTN: MR. JEFF DAVIS Dear Mr. Davis: As I mentioned to you in our meeting today (Thursday), I am putting forth my reasons for requesting the commission to approve my request ~or a sign variance for my building located at 653 South B Street. I request Doth an exception and a variance. The exception, combining the monum~n~ sign (allowed) and the ~ identification ~iqn into one sign to be placed above the numbers in the ~ront, west side that reads, "California Dental Health Plan". The overall size of this sign is within the total amount allowed for such a combination. The variance is to place twelve (12") inch letters on the south parapet of the building, a total of twenty-five feet six inches (25' 6") long. I am requesting these changes with the realization that it is difficult for the city to refuse other requests if one such as mine is granted. However, this is a circumstance that will alleviate that problem as the following points disclose: 1. Ours is a unique business. In the entire state of California, there are only twelve (12) licenses that allow a plan such as ours to exist. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely another company, such as ours, would locate in Tustin and request a variance. (continued) P.O. Box 899 · 653 S. "B" Street, Tustin, California 92680 · (714) 731-6133 City of Tustin (continued) 2. Our building is in a commercial zone and is surrounded by commercial-type businesses. The chance of another professional business locating on our dead-end street is also unlikely. 3. The revised request is now in line with the size of the sign as it relates to the size of the building. 4. Because of our location on a dead-end street in a commercial zone, our building is difficult to locate. We require the visibility for the health of our business. Approximately thirty (30%) percent 'of our business is "walk-in" by our ~ who are members, agents, and dentists. 5. Under the state law, we are a licensed health care plan, which we believe would put us in the catagory similar to a bank or real estate office, for which variances have been granted in the past. 6. The present borders of Tustin along I-5 make it highly unlikely other professional offices would choose such a location. Mr. Davis, It is my hope the commission will grant my full request. I will be in attendance at the next meeting on October 8, 1984. Thank you for your help and consideration.

"B" STREET. The Planning Commission of the City of Tustln finds and determines as follows: That a proper application for a variance (Variance No. 84-1) was- filed by Mr. James Ltndsey requesting authorization to vary with Tustln City Code Section 9495 by installing one (1) tenant identification sign of 20.70 square feet on the west buildtng elevation, and one (1) 20.50 square .foot tenant identification on the southern building elevation on the structure at 653 S. "B" Street. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said application. That the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. That establishment, maintenance and operation of the use as applied for is not justified pursuant to Section 9471 of the Tustin City Code. That the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use of only one 20.70 square foot wall sign 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: That approval of one tenant identification sign along the "B" Street frontage is within the intent of the Tusttn Sign Ordinance; That the subject site and the 20.70 square foot sign fall within the criteria required for a sign code exception. Therefore the approval of Variance 84-1 would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with other properties in the vicinity, and the district in which the subject property is located. 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 2174 Page ~o e The approval of the one 20.70 square foot sign ts consistent wtth the Tustln Area General Plan and the Tustln Zoning Ordinance as tt relates to signs.

WHITE, Chairman DONNA ORR, Recording Secretary Planning Commission DATE: SUBJECT: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ZONING: October 8, 1984 USE PERMIT 84-23 MORREY FRIEDMAN ON BEHALF OF LAR¥IN SQUARE LTD. P. O. BOX 6221 ANAHEIM, CA. 92806 LARWIN SQUARE 'SHOPPING CENTER (SOUTHWEST CORNER .OF NEWPORT AND BRYAN AVENUE) CENTRAL COMMERCIAL (C-2) DISTRICT ENVIORNMEWTAL STATUS: REQUEST: A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS.. BEEN APPLIED FOR IN CONFORMANCE WITH CEqA. AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT A 2418 SQUARE FOOT SAVINGS AND LOAN IN THE LARWIN SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER. BACKGROUND: On July 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 approval was overturned by the City Council. The Council action was without prejudice therebY allowing the applicant to meet Council concerns and reapply 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 traffic and pedestrian hazards. To alleviate the parking space problem, the Council authorized the removal of the "tot-lot" presently on site. In an effort to meet the concerns of the 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 of the site. As submitted, the plan provides the proper number of parking spaces and meets the other requirements of the C-2 zone. DISCUSSION: With relocation of the building and the traffic study, some of the city's concerns have at least been addressed. However, the site plan submitted does not reflect an implementation of recommendations of the traffic study and still community Dcvelopmcm Dcparxmcnt USE PERMIT 84-23 October 8, 1984 page 2 presents other potential problems on the site. If the applicant intends to utilize the proposals submitted by their traffic engineer, the'site plan should reflect such alterations to the project. Until such modifications are made, the impact on parking space and traffic circulation cannot be properly analyzed nor can staff submit a recommendation of approval. Before any decision on this project i$ finalized, it is recommended that the project proponent meet once again with the staff to discuss and include on the future submittals the following items: 1. The implementation of "Alternative 1" as recommended by the applicant's traffic engineer. 2. The modification of drive-aisles that flow into the main traffic lane that traverses diagonally across the shopping center. This will improve motorist visibility. 3. The resolution of potential parking problems associated with the use of the automated teller machine. 4. To ensure that the locatio~ of the new structure, in relation to the existing buildings', will not present conflicts with the Uniform Building Code. RECOI~E#DED ACTION: Until the issues raised in this report are analyzed, staff cannot give a recommendation on the project. Therefore, the recommendation is that the Commission direct staff to accomplish the following: 1. To meet with the applicant to resolve all issues noted in this report. 2. That, at such time a revised plan is ready for re-submittal, a new public hearing be advertised for consideration of the subject project.

This study has been prepared to analyze the traffic-related impacts of building a savings and loan in the center. Traffic circulation within the center and access to/from the center via the surrounding roadways are of particular concern and will be addressed. Project Descriotion Larwin Square is a roughly triangular site, bounded on the north by First Street, on the west by Centennial Street and on the southeast by Newport Avenue. The main entrance to the center is along Newport Avenue, aligned to form the fourth leg of the intersection of Newport Avenue and Bryan Avenue. Secondary accesses are located along First Street and along Centennial Street. The proposed project is to be a 2,418 square foot savings andt loan facility. It is to be constructed adjacent to the main entrance to Larwin Square on the southerly side, in an area which is presently landscaped. The facility will also provide an automated teller machine, separate from the building. It is to be located in approximately the center of Larwin Square on the site of an existing drive-up film 'processing facility. Figure 2 presents a site layout of Larwin Square and identifies the location of the proposed project. Existinq Conditions The main entrance to Larwin Square is along Newport Avenue at Bryan Avenue. The entrance is the fourth leg of the intersection of Newport Avenue at Bryan Avenue and is controlled by a multi- phase traffic signal. The entrance to Larwin Square is striped to provide one lane inbound to the center and one left turn lane, one through lane, and one right turn lane outbound from the center. Twenty-four hour traffic volume counts were conducted on three consecutive days (Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 9 through 11) at the entrance to Larwin Square. Daily inbound traffic volume ranged from 4094 to 5202 with a daily average of 4,595 vehicles. Daily outbound traffic volume ranged from 4,454 to 5,539 with a daily average of 4,926 vehicles. -1- Edlnger Avenue FIGURE ~]~~ VICINITY MAP BASMAC1YAN-DARNELL, INC. 4:262 C.~mpus Drive, Suite 8-1 Newport ge~ch, Czliforni~ 92660 (714) 549-9940 proposed He BASMACIYAN-DARN ELL, INC. 4262 Cam0us Drive, Suite B-1 Newporz BeAch, CAlifornia 92660 (714) 549-9940 ,.,p FIGURE 2 SITE LAYOUT -3- Peak traffic conditions in Larwin Square occur between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. daily. An average of 800 vehicles per hour enter and leave the center during this period. A second, less intense, peak period occurs daily from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. During this period an average of approximately 690 vehicles per hour enter and leave Larwin Square. The exception to this is Friday evening' The traffic volume count conducted on Friday indicated that heavy peak demand is experienced at the center between 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. with an average of 1020 vehicles per hour entering and leaving the site. Additionally, manual traffiC volume turning movement counts were conducted on two da~s (Thursday, August 16 and Friday, August 17) during the peak periods at Larwin Square. These counts were conducted to determine the percentage of traffic entering the center which continued on the main circulation roadway through the center of the parking lot, and the percentage which used the minor circulation roadway which runs in fron~ of the supermarket and retail shops at the northerly end of the site. Of traffic entering the site at the main entrance, approximately 70 to 75 percent continue along the main circulation roadway. Approximately 25 to 30 percent turn to the left upon entering the site to travel along the minor circulation roadway. Of vehicles exiting Larwin Square at the main access, approximately 58 to 60 percent are travelling along the main circulation roadway and 40 to 42 percent are travelling on the' minor roadway. Ail trafic volume data sheets have been included in the Appendix to the report. Traffic To/From the Proposed Project To assess the potential impacts of the traffic circulation within Larwin Square, made of tripmaking to/from the project. are based on data presented in the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual. Table 1 presents a summary of the trip generation process. The proposed savings and loan would be expected to generate 179 trip ends per day with approximately 3 occuring during the morning peak hour, 22 occuring during the noon hour and 17 occuring during the evening peak hour. A trip end is defined as a one way movement to or from a land use. proposed project on~ estimates have been Trip generation rates -4- Land Use Savings & Loan Land Use S & L 2,418 sf PM Peak Hour Average In Out Daily -- 2.s0/ 4.o0/ 74/KSF KSF KSF Table 1 summary of Trip Generation Trip Generation Rates AM Peak Hour Noon Hour out 1.30/ 4.65/ 4.65/ KSF Nom KSF KSF Estimated Trip Ends.

Also, some people travelling to/from the savings and loan are likely to combine the trip with other errands in the center. Therefore, the estimate of tripmaking attributable to the savings and loan may be conservative, slightly overstating the amount of additional traffic (by approximately 15 to 20, percent) which would occur in Larwin Square as a result of constructing the proposed project. Of the estimated trip ends to/from the proposed savings and loan approximately 30 percent or approximately 54 trip ends would be expected to use the automated teller only. Based on the traffic volume count data collected for Larwin Square, an estimated trip distribution pattern was developed for anticipated traffic to/from the proposed project. Estimated project-related traffic has been assigned to the internal roadways and to the main entrance based on this trip distribution pattern. Figure 3 presents the estimated increment of traffic which the proposed project is expected to add to existing traffic volume in Larwin Square. To obtain an estimat% of the total traffic which might be expected in Larwin Square with the construction of the proposed project, the project-related increment has been added to the existing traffic volumes. This estimate of total Larwin Square traffic is also depicted on Figure 3. -5- "*-(e3) lift market and retail shops restaurant proposed home federal bldg. not to scale LEGEND (XX}-project-related Dally Traffic XXX-Exietlng plus project-related Daily Traffic BASMACIYAN-DARNELL, INC. ,~262 Campus Drive, Suite 6-t Newgart Be~ctt, C~iifornia 9'2.660 (714) 549-9940 FIGURE 3 EXISTING PLUS PROJECT-RELATED DALLY TRAFFIC -6- Recommendations The proposed project is expected t°~have only minor impacts on traffic flow conditions in Larwin Square. However, after field reviews of existing traffic conditions at the main entrance to Larwin SqUare, modifications to the on-site circulation patterns are recommended. The existing site plan was reviewed based on traffic volume counts and field reviews conducted by BDI. The existing design of the main entrance provides a single wide inbound lane, and a left turn lane, a through lane and a right turn lane outbound. Sixty feet into Larwin Square is a y-shaped intersecti6n; the southerly leg is the main circulation roadway through the center and the northerly leg is a minor roadway providing direct access to the supermarket and adjacent retail shops (see Figure 2 presented previously). There is no traffic control along the internal roadways within the center. As a result there are numerous conflicting traffic movements occuring between vehicles entering the center and deciding a path of travel, and vehicles exiting the center from either of the two internal roadways which con- verge at the main access. Although no capacity problems exist at the main entrance to Larwin Square, the numerous conflicting traffic movements create an undesirable condition. Two alternative internal circulation patterns have been reviewed to aileviate the existing problems. 'These alternatives are depicted in Figures 4 and 5. In Alternative 1, the minor roadway adjacent to the supermarket- would be terminated at the main entrance. It would continue to provide circulation to the parking in the area and provide access to the supermarket and retail shops, but vehicles would enter and exit via the main circulation roadway only, thereby eliminating the opportunity for conflict. The area of the closed roadway segment could be redesigned to provide pedestrian access to the existing commercial establishments, as well as the pro- posed project. In Alternative 2, traffic travelling along the minor roadway adjacent to the supermarket would be permitted to exit only from the minor roadway to the main access. The landscaped median which presently exists to define the Y-intersection would require some design modification to constrict the minor roadway width to permit only outbound vehicles. A stop sign is recommended on the minor leg to further reduce the opportunity for conflict. In addition, it would be necessary to construct a raised median at the main entrance to separate the inbound and outbound lanes and eliminate the possiblity of vehicles, upon entering the center, from turning left onto the minor access road. Either Alternative 1 or 2 would greatly minimize, if not eliminate the opportunity for vehicular conflicts at the main entrance to Larwin Square and thereby improve its safety and efficiency for both motorists and pedestrians. -7- / II ~-----*.~ proposed home federal bldg. nat to FIGURE 4 ALTERNATIVE 1 RECOMMENDED SITE CIRCULATION STOP SiGN --,proposed home federal bldg. market and retail shags not to .¢ale I~ASMAE[YAN-OA~NELL, iNC. 4262 C.~m~us {Drive..~uite B-I Newoo~ ae~c~, ~tifornia 92660 FIGURE 5 ALTERNATIVE 2 RECOMMENDED SITE CIRCULATION In addition, several other improvements are recommended for the main entrance to Larwin Square which would alleviate confusion on the part of the motorist and therefore reduce the opportunity for conflict. The pavement color and texture at the entrace to the center makes it very difficult for the motorist to see lane markings. Field observations revealed a high incidence of incorrect lane useage (eg. left turns being made from through lanes and through traffic travelling in the left or right turn lanes). The striping on the outbound leg of the main access is worn and should be restriped. Additionally, because of the color and texture of the pavement, porcelain-type pavement markers should be used in conjunction with paint to delineate lanes. Secondly, although not optimal, conflict could be reduced in the existing condition by installing a stop sign on the minor roadway at its in~tersection with the main access. -10- APPENDIX 24 Hour Volume LOCATION LARWIN SQUARE ENTRANCE @ NEWPORT DATE 8-9-84 BRYAN TIME IN OUT TOTAL 12:00 11 12 23 1:oo 8 10 18 2:00 2 4 6 3:00 2 6 8 4:00 3 2 5 5:00 20 19 39 6:00 7:00 115 81 .* 196 8:00 179 123 302 9:00 187 182 369 10:00 338 251 589 11:00 378 339 717 12:00 465 441 906 1:oo 387 406 793 2:00 369 360 729 3:0O 350 342 692 4:00 371 368 739 5:00 359 373 732 6:00 304 299 603 7:00 225 255 480 8:00 176 230 406 9:00 125 188 313 10:00 45 89 134 11:00 26 43 69 12:00 4,487 4,454 8,941 PEAK HOUR LOCATION LARWIN SQUARE ENTRANCE @ NEWPORT DATE 8-9-84 & BRYAN IN OUT TOTAL 11:00 72 81 153 95 79 11:15 11:30 89 83 172 11:45 122 96 218 12:00 378 339 717 -7 IN OUT - TOTAL 12:00 138 106 244 12:15 108 114 222 12:30 107 119 226 12:45 112 102 214 1:00 ' 465 441 906 24 Hour Volume .LOCATION LARWIN SQUARE ENTRANCE @ NEWPORT DATE 8-10-84 & BRYAN TIME IN OUT TOTAL 12:00 11 8 19 1:oo 7 13 20 2:00 2 3 5 3:00 0 0 0 4:00 3 i 4 8:00 16 36 52 6:00 41 53 94 7:00 119 108 227 8:00 157 137 294 9:00 250 185 435 lO:OO 418 337 755 11:oo 410 410 820 12:O0 500 539 1039 1:00 412 457 869 2:00 423 412 835 ~:0o 421 449 870 4:00 469 524 993 5:00 505 541 1046 6:00 315 344 659 7:00 250 304 554 8:00 215 266 481 9:00 161 228 389 lO:OO 69 137 206 11:oo 31 47 78 12:00 5,205 5,539 10,744 PEAK HOUR LOCATION LARWIN SQUARE ENTRANCE @ NEWPORT & BRYAN DATE 8-10-84 IN OUT TOTAL 11:00 73 97 170 11:15 91 109 200 11:30 127 92 219 11:45 119 112 231 12:00 410 410 820 IN OUT TOTAL 5:00 135 129 264 5:15 126 133 259 5:30 147 152 299 5:45 97 127 224 6:00 505 541 1046 24 Hour Volume LOCATioNLARWIN SQUARE ENTRANCE @ NEWPORT DATE 8-11-84 & BRYAN TIME IN OUT TOTAL 12:00 23 2-7 50 1:oo 6 7 13 2:00 5 9 i 4 3:00 4:00 1 6 7 5:00 20 8 28 6:00 29 35 64 7:00 110 73 183 8:00 164 134 298 9:00 248 269 517 lO:OO 327 343 670 11:oo 351 420 771 12:00 371 415 786 1:oo 342 417 759 2:00 353 413 766 3:OO 339 412 751 4:0O 334 401 735 5:00 240 317 557 6:00 235 268 503 7:00 209 258 467 8:00 175 226 401 9:00 133 160 293 lO:OO 47 97 144 11:oo 30 64 94 12:00 4,094 4,786 8,880 PEAK HOUR LOCATION LARWIN SQUARE ENTRANCE @ NEWPORT & BRYAN DATg 8-11-84 IN OUT T~TAL 11:00 89 101 190 11:15 84 113 197 11:30 90 104 194 11:45 88 102 190 12:00 351 420 771 IN OUT TOTAL 12:00 98 102 200 . 107 100 207 12:15 12:30 84 112 196 12:45 82 101 183 1:00 371 415 786 EIB W/B R L Thursday, August 16, 1984 Time 11:00-11:15 11:15-11:30 11:30-11:45 11:45-1 2:00 1 2:00-1 2:15 12:15-12:30 12:30-12:45 NBT 12 19 33 19 28 18 19 WBR 15 26 19 17 21 26 EBL 32 31 34 34 45 43 50 SBL 10 11 18 32 15 18 SBT 12 9 10 16 18 12 18 SBR 32 38 42 27 52 48 62 11:00-11:15 11:15-11:30 11:30-11:45 11:45-1 2:00 12:00-12:15 12:15-12:30 1 2:30-1 2:45 IN 4O 45 62 54 70 66 74 EAST LEG OUT 26 36 42 31 49 58 49 U 2 2 3 1 1 2 2 IN 19 23 31 18 20 16 20 WEST LEG out 32 21 20 31 29 18 49 U 2 4 7 5 4 4 7 NIB !

The analysis and recommended mitigation measures presented in the study were generally found to be acceptable, with the exception of addressing the impact of the satellite automated teller machine on overall shopping center parking and 'internal traffic flow. Given the proposed location of the automated teller machine on the main shopping center aisleway and its remoteness from the actual site of .the proposed savings and loan building, potential vehicular and pedestrian traffic impacts need to be addressed. Automated teller machines can ge,nerate a significant amount of traffic (particularly when isolated from the main building) - causing not only congestion but safety problems as well. Questions that7 arise include: a) how is parking to be allocated and controlled in the proximity of the teller machine?; b) where -do the walk-up customers (i.e., pedestrians) stand While waiting ~o be serviced?; c) and how many customers will there be on-average and during peak periods?; and d) what impacts will there ~e and how are they to be effectively mitigated? Unless these questions are satisfactorily answered, the proposed auto- mated teller machine should not be placed in. the location depicted on the site plan. .Under the "Recommendations" section of the study report the obser- vation of traffic movement at the main entrance to Larwin Square accurately reflects an existi'ng graffic flow and safety problem. Of the two alternative modifications to on-site circulation identified in this section o'f the report, Alternative 1 (Figure 4 in the report) would most effectively improve traffic movement and safety at the main entrance to Larwin Square. This alternative, along with improvements to the delineation of pavement striping and markings, should be reflected in the conditions of approval of the the proposed Home Federal Savings & Loan building, Planning commission DA~: SUBJECT: APPLICJM~: OWNERS: 'LOCATION: ZONING: ENVIRONMEIITAL STATUS: REQUEST: OCTOBER 8, 1984 USE PERMIT 84-25 IUSTI# PRE-SCHOOL PEARL SCOT[, JANICE SPRAGUE ROBERT GRAI~R, SHERI MULLEN 14211 NEWPORT'MENUE RETAIL CORMERCIAL (C-1) CA~GORICALLY EXEMPT FROM ll~E REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFOR#IA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT _.

In 1977 the b6ilding was remodeled and became the Higgtns Dental Lab. DICSUSSION: The new owner is now requesting authorization to operate a pre-school for 42 children while varying from the zoning ordinance requirement of 100 foot frontage~ The Tusttn Pre-School is presently located at 1122 Laguna Road and is being displaced by the proposed Tusttn Automotive Repair Center. The subject property is surrounded on the north and south property lines by commercially zoned properties, however, the property to the south is apartments. The property to the west is zoned R-3 (multiple-family residential) and is a recewntly built (8 unit) apartment complex. Because the property was recently remodeled, the proposed project conforms with all existing zoning requirements and development standards for a pre-school except for the following items.

Minimum Ldt width at property line (100 feet): The property is 82 feet in width which does not meet the current code requirements for pre-schools. The applicants have submitted correspondence with reasons for the variance which are attached to this report and are as follows: 1.' The depth {190 ft.) of the property is more than ample for the use. The minimum building site requirement is 10,000 square feet and this property is 15,580 square feet. 2. There are more parking-spaces than needed, 9 required,-12 provided, with ample space in the front parking lot for a drop-off area. 3. There is more than ample back yard play area to meet the requirements of the State Department of Social Services. 4. The inside square footage of the building fits the requirements of the State.Department of Social Services for 42 students. $. It is a good (commercially zoned) location for a pre-school. 6. The apartments in the area display the need for a pre-school. (Many of our parents live in the surrounding area). The State Department of Social Services has informed staff that application has been filed for a pre-school of 42 children at 14211 Newport Avenue. The State's minimum requirements are 35 square feet of building area per child and 75 square feet of outdoor play area per child. Because of the size of the building (in excess of 2,000 square feet) and the proposed play area (in excess of 5,000 square feet), this property far exceeds the State's minimum requirements. The fire department has also checked the property and submitted a report to staff dated September 21, 1984 which informs the applicant of minor modifications that must be made prior to a certificate of occupancy. Staff feels that because of the large size of the property and the availability of parking with a drop-off area, this property would be a good location for the Tustin Pre-School.

Community Development Department September 12, J984 Dear Council Members, We request that a vari~.nce be given on the propers? located at 14£11 Newport Ave. in the City of Tustin. This variance is needed due to the 82 foot width of this property as opposed to the 100 foot width requirement set by the city. There a~e numerous reasons for this variance to be granted. Some of these reasons are: 1. The depth '(190 ft.) of the property is Bore thau ample for our use. 2. There are more parking spaces than needed. 3. There is more than ~mple back yard play area. 4. The inside square footage of the building fits the requirements laid down by the state. 5. It is a good (commercially zoned) location for a pre-school. 6.

BACKGROUND: In May of 1977, the Redhtll Shopping Center was annexed to the city. One of the conditions included in the annexation agreement was a condition that the signs on the properties, even though not otherwise permitted by the Tustin Sign Ordinance, be allowed to remain on the site. For the parcel that i*s the subject of this variance application, it meant the retention of a free-standing pole sign, as well as a wall sign that was in excess of the square footage allowed by code. To date, the pole sign has been reduced in size, yet still is a non-conforming sign. Also, the front wall sign was removed upon Albertson's vacating the premises. DISCUSSION: The Tusttn Sign Ordinance provides that a retail tenant, being shopping center is permitted the following: part of a One {1) front wall sign limited to 15% of wall area not to exceed ?5 square feet. One (1) side wall and one (1) rear wall sign each limited to 5% of the wall being served, not to exceed*25 square feet. A tenant such as Drug Emporium is not permitted free-standing identification. Community Development Department Planning Commission Report October 8, 1984 Page 2_ Variance 84-2 consists of two parts; first the retention of the existing pole sign (with modifications), and second the installation of a wall sfgn 109 square feet in excess of current code. The applicant intends to reduce the- overall height of the pole sign from 27.5 feet to 25 feet; reduce the sign area from 125 square feet to 90 square feet; and has agreed to modify the lighting intensity of the sign if required to bring the sign into conformance with current sign code standards. Section 9461 of the city code provides that a non-conforming sign may be voluntarily altered if such action will result in substandard reduction in the degree of non-conformity. Staff in the past has interperted this section to apply to signs that when reduced still identify the same business. For example, if Albertson's was still, the tenant and requested that the sign be altered as proposed. However, in recent Planning Commission actions (i.e. Ralph's Centers on Zrvine Blvd. and 17th Street), free-standing identification was allowed to remain, even when the tenant changed, so long as height and/or square footage was reduced. Therefore, with this precedent set, staff will recommend that the pole sign identification be approved as submitted, with the condition that a landscape planner as required by the sign code be installed. The second portion of Variance 84-2 is a request for authorization to install a ~84 square foot wall sign on the front wall of the subject building. The applicant indicates that.the building setback of 300 feet from Red Hill, and the size of the building justify a sign in excess of the 75 square feet allowed by the sign code. Such a justification for a sign larger than 75 square feet may have been appropriate if it was to be the only tenant identification. However, the free-standing sign should give adequate sign exposure to the business. Therefore, it will be recommended that Drug Emporium only be permitted a 75 square foot wall sign. RECOI~ENDATION: It is recommended that Variance 84-2 authorizing a 5 foot x 18 foot pole sign, with a maximum height of 25 feet above existing grade be approved based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained in Resolution No. 2183. Assistant Planner JO/do Community Development Department -- i PACIFIC DRUG DISTRIBUTORS, INC. To: Tustin City Planning Commission From, T.H. Ziemke on behalf of Drug Emporium Subject: Variance Permit on 13852 Red Hill in Tustin We have concluded negotiations with the Albertsons Company on a sublease of their building at 13852 Red Hill. The lease places the sinage responsibility in our hands which is the reason for this presentation to the commission. Our business is that of a large, full-service drug store with a wide range of health and beauty aids and a substan- tial pharmacy. We currently operate Drug Emporiums in Fountain Valley and in Redondo Beach with another facility 'opening in North Hollywood in November. We would like our Tustin store to be open at the end of October. Since we are new to the area, advertising and sinage are our two main vehicles to attract the customers to our store. The position of the building on the property makes identifi- cation very difficult without a variance in sina~e. We are set back over 300 feet from the street (Red Hill), and the location of the gas station on Laguna and Red Hill blocks all visibility for east bound traffic on Red Hill. The variance request is first for the pylon sign which cur- rently sets back 30 feet from Red Hill and is 27'6" in height with 125 sq. ft. of sign face. we propose lowering the sign by 4'6" and reducing the face to 90 sq. ft., a reduction of nearly 30~. Because of the easement on the frontage, the 30' set back of the sign, and the landscaping,a monument type sign would not accomplish what the revised pylon would. Store identifcation on the building also causes some problems for our customers. The length of our name, "Drug Emporium", coupled with the 300' building set-back, makes a 75 sq. ft. complying sign difficult to use. A sign, similar to those in other locations, would be visible from the street yet take up less%than 10~ of the building face (well under the 154 allowed by code). The sign with 4' upper case and 30" lower case is attractive and compliments the building front. The other sinage in the center is also under consideration to be altered and made more attractive. The two other pylons 16119 BROOKHURST ST., FOUNTAIN V~ll~:y, CA 92708 PACIFIC DRUG DISTRIBUTORS, INC. would be used for identification with a series of 6' wide signs with consistant color background. The shop signs would be also made consistant in background as the tenant ~ix changed. Together the entire area would be improved both astheticly and functionally. 16119 BROOKHURST ST., FOUNTAIN V~l l ~, CA 92708 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18~ 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 RESOLUTION NO. 2183 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 84-2 AUTHORIZING ONE (1) (POLE TYPE) 90 SQUARE FOOT TENANT IDENTIFICATION SIGN TO BE RETAINED FOR DRUG EMPORIUM, LOCATED AT 13582 REDHILL AVENUE The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: Re That a proper application for a variance (Variance No. 84-2) was filed by Mr. T.H. Ii,mk, on behalf of Drug Emporium requesting authorization to vary with Tusttn City, Code Section 9494 by retaining an existing non-conforming pole sign (to be lowered in height from 27.5 to 25 feet and to be reduced from 125 to 90 square feet) and installing a 184 square foot wall sign. Be 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. That establishment, maintenance and operation of' the use as applied for is not justified pursuant to Section 9471 of the Tustin City Code. That the establishment, maintenance and operation of the use of the existing pole slgnwtththe reduction in height to a maximum of 25 feet and the reduction in square footage in sign area to a maximum of 90 square feet would not under the circumstanceof this case, bedetrtmental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood as evidenced by the following: That the reduction in height and squarelfootage of the sign constttutars a substantial reduction in non-conformity and therefore meets the intent of the Tusttn Sign Ordinance. That in recent Commission actions similar approvals have been granted therefore an approval of Variance 84-2 does not constitute a grant of special, privilege. The building setback on the subject site is such that an exceptional circumstance exists that justifies additional sign area. This circumstance however, does not justify variance with the sign code in relation to the requested wall sign. The approval of the one 90 square foot pole- sign is consistent with the Tustin Area General Plan and the Tusttn Zoning Ordinance as it relates tosigns. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 '27 28 Resolution No. 2183 page two II. The Planntng Commission hereby, approves Vartance 84-1 subject to the following conditions: A. That the pole stgn shall be reduced to a maxtmum of 25 feet tn height. B. That the sign area shall consist of a 5 foot by 18 foot sign. That a landscape planter to be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department shall be installed in co~liance with the Tustin City Code as it pertains to signs. O. That prior to installation of any sign, sign permits must be secured from the Community Development Department PA6SED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the day of , 1984. RONALD H. WHITE, Chat rman DONNA ORR, Recording Secretary Planning cOmmission DATE: SUB,.1ECT: OCTOBER 8, 1984 INITIATION OF PROCEEDINGS TO REVOKE USE PEP~IT 84-2: WINDSOR GARDENS DISCUSSION: For the past two years, staff has worked with CalS tare Deuelopment Company, owners of the Nindsor Gardens Apartment project at 1651 Mitchell Avenue; in an attempt to swiftly cause completion of this condominium conversion. After nearly four years of intermittent construction, the conversion from apartments to condominiums has yet to be completed. While the garages and tennis court have'been constructed, on-site landscaping and interior structural improvements have not been made. However, Ca1 State has recently offered units for sale in v~olation of the City's condominium conversion ordinance. Since the Windsor Gardens condominium conversion project has yet .to be completed in accordance with approved plans and conditions of Use Permit 80-2, staff recommends a public hearing be conducted to consider testimony as to whether said use permit should be revoked. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission instruct staff to advertise a public hearing for the next available meeting to consider recommending to the City Council revocation of Use Permit 80-2.
