Architectural Review - Use Permit 83-27
1042, 1052, 1062 Walnut Street
Applicant: Mark D. Atnslie on behalf of Ainslie Development
Location: 1042, 1052, 1062 Walnjut Street
Zoning: R-3 (2000) - Multiple-Family
Environmental Status: An application has been filed for a Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impact
BaCkground & Discussion
On December 12, 1983, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit 83-27 by the
adoption of Resolution No. 2132 to authorize the development of a 13-unit
townhouse project on Walnut Street.
The three parcels involved in this application are in an older area of the
community between Newport Avenue and Tustin High School. The area was annexed
in 1978 and is in need of redevelopment both from the public and private
sectors. The site is within the South/Central Redevelopment Area and the HCD
block grant target area for improvement funding.
Under Section 409.15 of the South/Central Redevelopment Project, development
plans shall be submitted to the Agency for approval and architectural review.
This is not a public hearing for a use permit or variance and, as such, does not
require a discretionary action by the Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment
Agency can make any suggestions it feels prudent and justifiable in order that
the proposed plan meets the intent of the Redevelopment Plan. This is mainly
limited to architectural improvements, but can include a suggestion to the
applicant that he work closely with various City departments to improve and
upgrade the proposed project.
The proposal calls for the consolidation of three (3) fifty-foot (50') by one-
hundred-eighty foot {180') lots and 'developing 13 residential townhouses.
Vehicular access and parking is via a driveway off.of Walnut Street into the
center of the project with opposing garages for 14 spaces and two open visitor
spaces. The remainder of the access is from the public alley that borders, the
rear of the site. The buil'dings (3) are clustered around a central landscape
and recreation (spa) area with approximately ¢45 square feet per unit.

The architecture is of a contemporary residential style and is in keeping with
much of the new residential development in the City. The structures should add
greatly to upgrading the area.

F. That because of special circumstances applicable to
the subject property, relative' to size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, a strict

classification, evidenced by the following findings:
The site being located in an older residential area
in transition, is in need of rehabilitation.
The site being in an area of neglect by the County up
until annexation to the City of Tustin in August,
[978, presents unique problems to developers to
provide affordable home ownership to families of the
type proposed.
