Honorable Chairman & Planning Agency Members
Community Development Department
Use Permit 82-32
Applicant:
Loc ati on:
Request:
A1 Hertz
Frontage property along the 55 freeway between Valencia Avenue
and Edinger, westerly of Del Amo
To authorize the use of the property as a retail recreational
vehicle sales lot for a period of 18 to 24 months
RECO~qENDED ACTION
It is recommended Use Permit 82-32 be approved by the adoption of
Resolution No. 2068.
BACKGROUND
The applicant has requested authorization to use the subject property,
currently being utilized for agricultural purposes, for a temporary (18 to
24 months) sales lot for approximately 100 recreational vehicles. The
zoning for the property is Industrial (M) and the requested use is allowed
subject to a conditional use permit.
As proposed, the applicant envisions using the property for approximately
18 months and therefore does not wish to improve the property in a
permanent manner. The request before the Agency is to use the property
without constructing a permanent sales office, installing paving for
parking of R.V.'s, interior drive aisles and normally required landscaping.
In a conversation with a representative of the property owner {Santa Fe
Rail road), it was determined that an 18-month lease agreement will be
entered into between the applicant and the owner for all 16.69 acres of the
subject property contingent upon use permit approval. Santa Fe apparently
has development plans for the property after the 18-month lease period;
however, would consider extending the R.V. lease on a month-by-month basis
should the railroad's development plans be delayed.
DISCUSSION
After review of the proposal by all pertinent departments, staff has
determined no major problems would be associated with the R.V. sales lot,
if all conditions of Resolution No. 2068 are met by the applicant and if
the use is temporary. The applicant has included a minimum paved area for
customer parking and plans to use a landscaping concept that will allow
re-arrangement of display areas for various sales themes. A temporary
sales office will also be provided.

The only concern staff has with the proposal is the temporary nature of the
use. Therefore, in recommending approval, it is felt that after a maximum
period of 24 months, if the applicant wishes to continue operation, all
on-site improvements shall be made as per the adopted development standards
as well as all applicable sections of the Tustin City Code. Otherwise,
operation of the business shall terminate and all vehicles, equipment, the
sales office, etc., shall be removed. The 24-month time table will
commence on the first day operation or January 15, 1983, whichever comes
first.

Dear Ms. Wynn:
I just received your notice of a public hearing to be held
November 15, 1982, concerning projects that "are categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act". As I will be unable to attend the meeting,
I would like to comment on your USE PERMIT 82-33 which affects
my property located at 1050 Edinger Avenue and 1100 Edinger
Avenue, Tustin, California.
I strongly oppose the use of the property (as referred to in
permit 82-33) as a temporary sales lot for recreation vehicles.
Besides the temporary nature, it does not adhere to the
current zoning of the property. I would hope that the Planning
Agency of the City of Tustin oppose Mr. Hertz' request.
Sincerely,
Harry J. ~L~nnell, Jr.
