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. Chairman & Planning Agency Members November 15, 1982 Page 2 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.

Wynn City Clerk City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, California 92680 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. HJO/pb
