Request:
First Corniche Limited I
660 W. First Street (CG-PUD)
Authorization to develop a 12,856 square foot office and retail
commercial building in the Commercial General District
BACKGROUND & DISUCSSION
The proposed development is to be located on three 50' wide lots located on
the south side of First Street which, until recently, were used by the
Tustin Truck Company. The adjacent uses are as follows:
east: a converted office structure (lawyer's office; CG District)
south: single-family residential unit with metal garages (R-3
District). The majority of the lot, however, is vacant.
west: single-family residence (CG District)
The subject property was zoned with a Planned Unit Designation which
requires use permit approval for all projects (City Code Section 9235f8.
This application was first reviewed by the Agency on November 15, 1982. At
that time, the applicant, W. Daniel O'Connor, requested authorization for a
13,200 square foot office structure without any provisions for retail
uses.
The Planning Agency felt some retail commercial area should be provided for
on this property which is in the Commercial General District. The matter
was continued until this meeting to allow the applicant an opportunity to
modify the plan to accommodate retail uses. The revised plan incorporates
the following features:
Floor area: 2,152 square feet retail space
10,703 square feet office space
Parking: 46 spaces (45.7% compact)
This design will provide 344 square feet less floor area with an increase
of two parking spaces from the original proposal by having 21 spaces at a
compact width of 7.5 feet.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that Use Permit No. 82-31 be approved by the adoption of
Resolution No. 2067, as amended from the last meeting. ~/

FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
1. The use is in conformance with Section B.1 of the Commercial General
District.
2. The site plan conforms with all design requirements of the zoning code
and of the City's development standards with the exception of the
fol 1 owing:
The perimeter planters in the parking area are included within the
20' parking space depth. This design would prohibit the planting
of trees along the property lines due to vehicle overhang. A
redesign of the planters should be considered.
b. The property line wall at the rear of the site should be at least
6'-8" in height (City Code Section 9271i(2)(a).
3. The Spanish architecture is compatible with the newly constructed
buildings in the immediate area. This structure will be very close to
the existing Maria Callendini restaurant which exhibits a similar style.
4. Some modification may be required along the eastern building elevation
due to building code safety requirements.
5. The plan as presented indicates tile pavers within the sidewalk area.
These should not be placed within the public right-of-way unless the
design is approved by the City Engineer.
6. It appears that one tree easterly of the street light will require
removal. All existing tree wells should be shown on the plan so that
replacement trees can be designated.
Staff recommendations are included in the attached draft resolution of
approval.
R£COMMENDED ACTION
The development should enhance the streetscape of the immediate area and
staff recommends approval by the adoption of Resolution No. 2067.
