RECOI~NDE1) ACTION-PLANNING AGENCY Staff recommends that Use Permit 80-21 be extended to June 1, 1982. The extension may be granted by minute order. RECOI~NENDED ACTION-CITY COUNCIL Staff recommends that Tentative Tract Map 11336 be extended to June 1, 1982. The extension may be granted by minute order. Both of these recommendations are based on the stipulation that the owner of the project be made aware that no further extensions will be granted for the Use Permit, and that pursuant to the State Subdivision Map Act no further extensions of the Tentative Map are permissible. BACKGROUND In November, 1980, the Planning Agency approved Use Permit 80-21, thereby authorizing the conversion of the Windsor Gardens Apartments into residential condominiums. Tentative Tract Map 11336 was subsequently approved by the Council on December 1, 1980. On October 21, 1981, both the Use Permit and the Tract Map were extended for six months in actions taken by the Agency and the Council. As it stands now, the Use Permit will expire on May 17, 1982 and the Map will expire on June 1, 1982. At the May 3, 1982 meeting, the Agency requested that the developer be present today to answer any questions and to reassure the Agency that the project is essentially the same as when originally approved. It is staff' understanding that a representative of Cai-State Associates will be in attendance. Extension of Use Permit and Tract Map May 17, 1982 Page 2 DIS~:U~ION The applicant, on behalf of Cal State Associates, has requested that Tentative Tract Map 11336 be extended for an additional one year. If the Tract Map is extended, Use Permit 80-21 must also received an extension. The applicant has stated that all conditions of the tentative map have either been met, or are in the process of completion. Delays in obtaining new preliminary subdivision reports from the Department of Real Estate (due to a change in ownership), and the fact that the map is in need of some alterations so as to accommodate the renovation of the domestic water systems have been the major obstacles standing in the way of submission of the Final Tract Map. Should the Council extend the Tentative Tract map for one year as requested, it would be the final extension allowable pursuant to applicable City Codes and the State Subdivision Map Act. Staff cannot foresee any adverse impacts resulting from the additional time allottment and thereby recommends the extension be granted. However, it must be stressed that Tentative Tract Map 11336 will expire, and may not be further extended as of June 1, 1983. If the Final Map is not approved by 'that date, a new tentative map must be submitted for review approval. The process would include renotificaion of all tenants, a re-submittal of a tenant relocation plan, and a re-application for a Conditional Use Permit.

Edgar Mayor of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 RE: THE CALIFORNIAN & WINDSOR GARDEN CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS Dear Mayor Edgar: The following is a status report on the above referenced projects as requested in the last council meeting of May 3, 1982. WINDSOR GARDENS Windsor Gardens was originally owned by Cal State Associates and sold to a group represented by Mr. Fred King. This group applied for and obtained approvals for a condo conversion and tentative tract map. Because of inadequate financing, this project has been joint ventured with Cal State Associates becoming the general partner. The exterior o£ the project has not been altered. The only changes are as follows: 1. A fire truck turn-around at the rear of the garages which was incorporated to satisfy the fire marshall. 2. The tennis court has been moved away from the rear property line to avoid any light spillage on the adjoining property. 3. The trash bins have been relocated from the front yard to another less visable area. Plans have been received out of plan check and final corrections are now being made. During the past week we had a combined coordinating meeting with the fire marshall, city engineer and water department. The result of this meeting was a minor modification which has been made to the water service which has now satisfied all agencies concerned. These changes are being incorporated on the final tract map and working drawings and will be back to the city next week. Bonds have been prepared and will be submitted to the city with the final map in the near future. At that time we will notify The Honorable Richard B. Edgar May 11~ 1982 Page 2 the tenants of the final tract map hearing as prescribed by law. The C.C.&R's have been reviewed and approved by the city. We are currently submitting a tenant relocation plan similar to the Californian plan. We have applied for an extension of time on the tentative tract map. THE CALIFORNIAN Since the city council approval in January, we have coordinated with the city staff the requirements of the conversion. Where drawings of existing facilities have been unclear~ survey crews of architects, engineers and contractors have been reviewed the project and prepared p~ans for Cal State Associates. These plans have been submitted to the city and are currently in plan check. The tentative tract map has been submitted; all legal notices pertaining to it have been sent and affidavits to that effect have been submitted to the city for verification. Upon approval, the ten (10) day notices will be sent out. In addition~ the rough draft of the C.C.&R's has been submitted to the city for review. We have met with the fire marshall, city engineer and water department and incorporated their requirements in our drawings. One of the residents, Steve Price, has been appointed as tenant/ developer coordinator and a detailed relocation plan has been submitted and approved by council. Should you require any additional information, we will be available for discussion at your next city council/planning meeting scheduled for Monday, May 17, 1982. Sincerely~ CAL STATE ASSOCIATES~ INC.
