PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1
DECEMBER 12, 1983
SUBdECT: Use Permit 83-25
APPLICINT: O'Dell and Associates
OWNER: Mr. & Mrs. William Heller
LOCATION: 1331 Garland Avenue (northwest corner of Garland and Woodlawn Ave.)
ZONING: Single-Family Residential (R-l)
ENVIRONMENTAL S-FATU'S: Class 3 Categorical Exemption (Section 15303e)
REQUEST:
Authorization to retain an illegally constructed block wall that
exceeds the standard height requirement for the zone
BACKGROUND
A block wall was constructed around the perimeter of the rear yard of the
property at 1331 Garland Avenue without the required building permit. The
subject parcel is a corner lot, bounded on the east by Woodlawn Avenue and
Garland Avenue to the south. The height of the wall along the Woodlawn property
line is nine feet (9') in height when measured from grade level of the public
sidewalk. This is the only area where the wall is higher than 6'-8". A
conditional use permit is required for any fence or wall in excess of 6'-8" in
height.
A gateway opening onto Woodlawn Avenue has been incorporated into the wall and
is inset almost five feet (5') from the sidewalk. The width of the gate is
eleven feet (11'). Additionally a concrete ramp leading down from the gate to
the sidewalk has been installed. Any use of this ramp for vehicle access would
be illegal since there is no curb cut or drive apron at that particular
location.
The block wall replaced a wooden fence that was setback five feet (5') from the
Woodlawn property line.
SITE ANALYSIS
As has been indicated, the wall is nine feet (9') high only along Woodlawn
Avenue. The remainder of the yard is enclosed by a wall 6'-8" in height. This
discrepancy is a result of an approximate 2'-6" grade differential sloping
downward from the back yard area to the Woodlawn property line. The opposite
property line and rear property line are on the same grade level, 2'6" higher
Community Development Department
Use Permit 83-25

than along Woodlawn. Therefore, 'in order to maintain a uniform height of the
wall, and n~ximize the open space in rear yard by building on property lines,
the wall is 9' high in the area previously indicated.
ISSUE AJiALYSIS
In this instance, the requirement for a conditional use permit only relates to
the height of the wall. However, there are other concerns staff has with the
submittal. Specifically, the gate, the transition ramp and the structural
integrity of the wall. These issues will be addressed separately.
Height
If height had been the only irregularity, staff may have given a favorable
recommendation for exceeding the maximum height requirement, considering the
site and the immediate area. The grade differential is a justification for a
wall higher than 6'-8". Additionally, since a prevalent type or color of wall
does not exist on other properties along Woodlawn Avenue, the aesthetic
consideration of materials is not a major concern. However, the subject wall is
approximately two feet (2') higher than any others in the immediate area,
including the combination block and grapestake fence adjoining the subject
property to the north.
When viewing the wall from a distance, the nine-foot level appears to be too
high. Staff recommends a more appropriate height, which can be accomplished by
removing two layers of block from .the top of the wall. The height would then be
reduced to 7'-6". This would give the property owner a wall with an interior
height of a little over five feet (5').
Gate and Transition Ramp
Had plans for the wall been submitted to the Community Development Department
prior to construction, the gate and concrete ramp would not have been approved.
The width of the gate provides for potential vehicular access. The steep angle
of the incline, and poor visibility for exiting vehicles is not conducive.to
safe egress from the property. Also, there are nd curb cuts or drive apons at
this location so vehicular use would be illegal and would damage public
improvements.
Even if the ramp was not utilized for vehicles on a daily basis, the potential
for use of the rear yard as a storage area is greatly increased. Generally,
this is not considered a desirable use in a residential zone.
Stemming from these concerns, staff will recommend the gate be replaced with a
permanent fence or wall.

Use Permit 83-25
December 12, 1983
Page 2
Structural Integrity of the Wall
Since the subject wall was constructed without any Building Department plan
check, the structural integrity of the wall cannot be measured. Specifically
the depth and size of the support footings must be ascertained, and the location
and strength of re-inforcing steel must also be shown.
Should the Commission determine that the wall will be permitted to remain in
excess of 6'-8" in height, staff recommends that within 30 days of approval, all
information demonstrating the structural characteristics of the wall shall be
submitted to the Building Department. This information will be required even if
the Commission does not authorize the height of the wall to exceed 6'-8".
However, the precise height of the wall will determine what structural
calculations are necessary.
RECOI~qENDATION
It is recommended that Use Permit 83-25 be granted subject to the conditions
contained in Exhibit A.

SUBJECT: Use Permit 83-26
APPLICANT: Donald J. Saltarelli
LOCATION: 13751 Red Hill Avenue
ZONE:
Planned Community Commercial
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: An application as been filed for a Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impact
REQUEST:
Authorization to expand the ground floor.and add a second floor to
an existing office building
Background
On February 12, 1973, Use Permit 73-5 was approved which authorized the
construction of a professional office building and expansion for the Baptist
Church on the southwesterly corner of San Juan Avenue and Red Hill Avenue. A
use permit is required for any specific development in the Planned Community
District.
Development Proposal
The applicant proposes to expand the ground floor of an existing office building
by 2,332 square feet and add a second floor of 5,466 square feet.' The building
will then have a total of 9,854 square feet. The site plans attached to this
transmittal indicate that 32.8 parking spaces are required while 32 are being
provided. The original approval required the church and office building to have
reciprocal parking and access agreements, therefore staff suggests that the one
space has no effect on the project because of the adjacent available parking
pursuant to recorded reciprocal easements.
The proposed landscaped setbacks on Red Hill range from 21 feet to 32 feet
depending on the footprint of the building. On San Juan, the proposed setbacks
range from 5 feet to 21 feet depending on the footprint of the building. Under
the Planned Community District regulations each specific project proposes its
own development standards for setbacks. These setbacks become part of the
approval of the site plan.
The proposed elevations are brick veneer with wood trim and cement tile roof
with a wood cap parapet trim to screen the roof top equipment. The building as
proposed appears to be a positive addition to the community.

SUBJECT: Use Permit 83-27 (with variance request)
APPLICANT:
Mark D. Ainslie on behalf of Ainslie Development
13641Malena Drive
Tustin, California
LOCATION: 1042, 1052, 1062 Walnut Street
ZONIN&: R-3 (2000) - Multiple-Family
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: An application has been filed for a Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impact
REQUEST:
Authorization to construct a 13-unit townhouse project and to. vary
from the open space requirements of the Planned Development District
BACKGROUND
The three parcels involved in this application are in a 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 NCD
block grant target area for improvement funding. A condominium project is under
construction in the immediate area {San Juan & Orange) which was granted certain
variances to authorize construction.
DISCUSSION
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 buildings (3) are clustered around a central landscape
and recreation (spa} area with approximately 445 square feet per unit.
The open space landscape does not satisfy minimum requirements of the Planned
DevelOpment District. At 42%, the open space is 8% below minimum standard and a
variance has been requested for this difference. Building coverage included in
this calculation is the slight encroachment of neighboring structures on the
eastern property line.

from the rear garages to the public alley, citing the potential for vehicle
parking to extend into the travel way. The 10 feet is a minimum setback
requirement and staff would therefore recommend automatic garage door openers to
facilitate ease of parking by residents of the complex.
ISSUE ANALYSIS
Planning staff supports the improvement of poorly maintained and underdeveloped
land into additional new homes for the community as proposed by the applicant.
This proposal, if constructed, will greatly enhance the area and add to the
housing stock.
The construction of condominiums will add to the area by providing home
ownership and a more permanent resident population than apartment projects.
Since answers appear to be available to staff's concerns regarding the site
layout, the only. question of immediate importance is the open space variance
request. The Planning Commission has requested that staff look at possible
revisions to the multiple-family and condominium standards. One aspect under
consideration is the open space requirements. Currently, the standards do not
address the issue of usable open space with the exception of not granting
allowance for driveways'and parking spaces. The majority of the 445 square feet
of open space per unit is usable either in an active or passive {landscape
walkways) sense.
Staff believes this approach to be a more logical view of the open space
question and the request for the variance should be favorably considered.

F. That because of special circumstances applicable to
the subject property, relative to size, shape,

1. 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,

Report to the
Planning
Commission
PUBLIC HEARING NO. 4
DECEMBER 12, 1983
SUBJECT: Use Permit 83-28
APPLICANT: Frank H. Greinke, Southern Counties Oil Company
LOCATION: i011 Laguna Road
ZONE:
CG Commercial General
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: An application as been filed for a Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impact
REQUEST:
Authorization to operate a convenience market including the off sale
of beer and wine, and to install three (3) 6,000 gallon above-grade
petroleum storage tanks
BACKGROUND
Southern Counties Oil Company, located at the intersection of Laguna Road and
Newport Avenue, operates a self-service gasoline station and bulk petroleum
product storage and distribution business. While the self-serve station is
specifically .permitted in the C-G zone with a use permit, bulk petroleum storage
and the distribution thereof is not specifically listed. However, Section 9235c
of the City's Zoning Ordinance permits the property owner to apply under the
category of unlisted uses determined to be similar in nature to other
conditionally permitted uses in the C-G zone.
This application consists of three individual requests:
Issuance of Use Permit #83-28 permitting a convenience market in
conjunction with a service station;
o
A determination by the Planning Commission that additional petroleum
storage and sales thereof meet the intent of the C-G zone and are
similar in nature to other conditionally permitted uses allowed in the
zone.
Issuance of Use Permit #83-28 permitting installation of the tanks as
requested.
ANALYSIS
Concerning the convenience market request, attached is a letter from Mr. Greinke
indicating that beer, wine and other convenience items are intended to be sold
to service station customers between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Simply a small portion of the main office building will be designated as a
Community Development Department
Use Permit 83-28
December 12, 1983
Page 2
convenience center for product sales. The State Department of Alcohol Beverage
Control has conducted its public review period prior to issuance of a liquor
license. ABC did not receive any protests against issuance of the subject
license.
Staff does not view the proposed convenience market as significantly different
than typical mini-markets such as AM-PM mini-markets in ARCO service stations.
This concept of merchandizing appears to be successful and generally does not
create adverse impacts on the surrounding community. Therefore pursuant to
Zoning Code regulations there does not appear any basis to protest this permit.
Concerning installation of three (3) 6,000 gallon petroleum storage tanks, the
tanks are to be located above grade level, 17 ~eet high by 8 feet in diameter.
These tanks are not extraordinarily large by comparison to the present
underground 20,000 gallon storage tanks. The three tanks are specifically
intended to store engine oil and hydraulic oil for both resale and wholesale
distribution on-site and off-site. The Fire Department's initial review of this
proposal indicates that additional storage capacity is permissible subject to
provision of fire protection devices.
Staff's greatest concern is that of visual aesthetics. While staff would prefer
the tanks be placed below grade, it appears the inability to pump heavy
viscosity oils from below grade in cold weather would virtually eliminate this
option.
Further, the applicant indicates the cost to construct below grade structure
would be prohibitive since Southern Counties Oil Company is not intending to
remain a permanent land use through the next decade. Mr. Greinke recognizes his
property is more economically suited for new commercial development rather than
the oil company business. In the interim, the sales of petroleum products
produces substantial sales tax revenue. Overall, Southern Counties Oil Company
is one of the top three sales tax generators in the City of Tustin.
R£COP~I£NDATION
That the Planning Commission take the following action:
1. Determine, pursuant to City Code Section 9235c whether the installation of
additional petroleum storage tanks to the service station is a compatible use
for the property and meets the intent of conditionally permitted land uses
in the C-G zone.

Southern Counties Oil Company and its predcessors have been
operating an agriculture and automotive fuel dispensing facility
continuously at the same location in Tustin since 1930.
It services the commercial, agricultural, industrial and govern-
mental communities in Southern California from its Tustin head-
quarters. Southern Counties Oil Company is a generator of approx-
imately $1,000,000.00 in sales tax annually of which Tustin's
share is more than $150,000.00.
Among our contracted refiners are: Chevron, Union, Shell, Arco,
Gulf and Texaco. We have recently reached an exclusive agree-
ment with Gulf Oil Company to supply all of their lubricating
products on the West Coast. With this contract will come a great
need for efficiency to handle our motor oils in bulk and we do
not contemplate the need to expand our barrel warehouse storage
at this time.
The bulk oil storage will give us the opportunity to service our
cardlock facility, thereby offering our commercial and retail
type customer the availability of motor oil in bulk rather than
quarts, 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon barrels and will add a new
demension to the small business community located near Tustin.
As an additional convenience to our customers, it is our inten-
tion to offer food and beverage staples which will be sold from
our office building during the approximate hours of 7:00 A.M.
to 7:00 P.M.
Thank you for your consideration of this project.

APPLICANT:
LOCATION:
Proposed Addition and Clock Tower
Tustin Clinic Building
13382 Newport Avenue
DISCUSSION
The owners of the Tustin Clinic Building (formerly Centre Pharmacy) have
submitted a proposal to construct a 204 square foot addition to their building
and add a clock tower. The proposed project is located on Newport Avenue across
the street from Larwin Square. The site is zoned C-1 and is part of a one-story
medical office complex.' The s~te is located in.the Town Center Redevelopment
Area.
The proposed changes to the building are a non-discretionary action and requires
no formal action from the Commission. This is submitted as an information item
to the Commission to illustrate what one property owner is proposing in an
effort to improve the appearance of his building. The enclosed rendering shows
the addition of a spanish-style clock tower to an existing one-story structure.
The proposed clock tower should be a distinctive addition to a non-descript
building and staff feels a positive contribution to the downtown area. Staff
tries to encourage revitalization in the downtown and is supportive when private
enterprise attempts to improve the appearance of the area.
RECOHHENDATION
Since this project is subject only to staff review and approval, it is presented
as an information item to be received and filed by the Commission.
