Honorable Chairman & Planning Commission Members

Variance 83-6
Architect's Office with Retail Commercial
333 E1Camino Real
APPLICATIO#
This variance application is a request from Mr. Raymond Salmt to vary from
the parking standards of the Zoning Ordinance by allowing re-occupancy of
his vacant non-conforming building which has less off-street parking than
required by code. Specifically, where sixteen (16) parking spaces would be
required for new construction, Mr. Salmi can only provide the four {4)
existing spaces due to the property's age and configuration. Secondly,
included with this variance is a use permit request to allow an office use
in the C-2 (Central-Commercial) zone.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, this project
has been determined categorically exempt from environmental consideration.
ANALYSIS
Mr. Salmi approached department staff approximately four years ago at the
time Gerding Photography Studio vacated the subject building. Since the
property was developed prior to City enactment of the 1961 Zoning Code, the
property became legal non-conforming in that parking provided did not meet
code requirements for either retail or office usage. Therefore, Mr. Salmi
had one year to re-occupy the building to maintain legal non-conformity.
Staff favorably responded to Mr. Salmi's request at that time; however,
four years have now passed while the property still remains vacant. The
property today may not be occupied without a parking variance since the
required number of spaces for either retail commercial or office have not
been provided on site.
Plans submitted with this application indicate renovation of the building
and parking area to meet present codes where possible. Both the interior
and exterior of the building will be remodeled as proposed in the attached
· plans. Specifically, the building's second floor, totaling 1,442 square
will be used for office space, the first floor, at street grade, totaling
1,523 square feet will be used for retail commercial and the basement
totaling 1,170 square feet will also be used for office and storage. Based
upon this usage, sixteen (16) parking spaces are required by present codes.
Honorable Chairman & Commission Hembers
June 27, 1983
Page 2
While staff encourages upgrading of this deteriorating property, we are
concerned about the lack of adequate off-street parking and the potential
lengthy schedule for the property owner to complete this restoration
project. The building has remained vacant for the past four years and
become detrimental to the surrounding properties. It is staff's hope the
building will not remain vacant for four more years.
Staff believes that a variance request is justified since it is necessary
for virtually any land use to occupy this building. However, to vary from
the sixteen required spaces to only four as presently available would not
be in the community's best interest. Staff believes the Commission should
require the applicant to lease five (5) usable parking spaces-within 300'
of the property or consider totally eliminating usage of the basement
area. Secondly, the Commission should consider a time limitation for
restoration of the building to ensure conformance with the Commission's
approval.
RECOI,I~EIiOATI ON
Staff recommends an amended approval of Variance 83-6 and the included use
permit for office usage in the C-2 (Central Commercial) zone. Should the
Commission concur, findings must be made to justify the granting of a
variance in accordance with the following (City Code Section 9292):
The variance granted shall not constitute granting of special priviledge
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity
and district in which the subject property is situated.
That because of special circumstances applicable to subject property,
including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict
application of the Zoning Ordinance is found to deprive subject property
of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under
identical zone classification.
The following conditions of approval are recommended:
1. Final building elevations, including color scheme and complete signing
details shall be submitted for staff approval prior to issuance of any
permits for this property.
2. Reconstruction of the subject building exterior shall be complete as
proposed within one year from issuance of this variance or said variance
will expire unless extended by the Planning Commission.
Honorable Chairman & Commission Members
June 27, 1983
Page 3
3. The applicant shall purchase or lease a minimum of five (5) surplus
off-site parking spaces within 300' of this property or eliminate usage
of the basement area. An agreement shall be signed by the property
owner to identify and guarantee the availability of all nine {9) parking
spaces for the life of this variance and use permit.

Honorable Chairman & Planning Commission Members
Community Development Department
Use Permit 83-12
Home Federal Savings and Loan - Larwin Square
APPLICATION
This application is a request for approval of a use permit to allow
construction of a free-standing, 2,409 square-foot Home Federal Savings and
Loan within the Larwin Square Shopping Center. The applicant, Larwin
Square, Ltd., was previously granted Use Permit 76-25 which permitted
remodeling of the subject shopping center in December, 1976. At that time
the arbor theme structure, tot lot and restroom building were constructed,
which is now proposed to be partially eliminated by placement of this new
structure. Also included is a request to provide an automated teller
structure at the site of the existing key shop which was approved by Use
Permit 77-23.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, this project
has been determined categorically exempt from environmental consideration.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The plot plan submitted proposes the savings and loan building to be
located adjacent to Kresges department store thereby replacing the public
play area. The existing planter area would be enlarged easterly into the
drive aisle to accommodate the building footprint. Additionally, a planter
median island in the adjacent drive aisle would be removed to facilitate
traffic circulation.
In accordance with Use Permit 76-26 which required a parking ratio of one
space per 250 square feet of gross floor area, additional parking spaces
would be provided to accommodate the subject building. The new spaces will
result from restriping two parking aisles for compact cars as indicated on
the plot plan.
Elevations submitted by the architect, Oanielson Design Group, propose an
attractive mission tile-roofed structure which should be architecturally
compatible with the existing center. However, should the Commission
approve this application, final architectural elevations indicating colors
and building materials will be required by staff prior to issuance of any
building permits.
Honorable Chairman & Commission Members
June 27, lg83
Page 2
ANALYSIS
The applicant's representative, Mr. Doug Danielson, previously met on
several occasions with staff and most recently with the department
Director. Subsequent to meetings with department staff, the plans and
elevations, as being presented to the Commission, conform with Zoning
Ordinance regulations and meet our expectations concerning architectural
design and landscape treatment.
The remaining major concern is that of the proposed building location. The
Director of Community Development expressed his concern to the applicant
that the proposed location may not be appropriate due to reducing retail
store exposure and possible adverse impacts upon traffic circulation. The
Director of Public Works/City Engineer also voiced concern regarding the
proposed building adjacent to a busy on-site intersection.
However, after discussing these concerns with center manager Morrey
Friedman and architect Doug Daniel son, there is apparently no other
suitable location on site for the Home Federal building.
Therefore, the Commission should determine, after considering staff's
proposed findings and conclusions, whether an additional building structure
should be permitted in the center.
Proposed Findings & Conclusions
1. The structure may limit visibility of retail tenant exposure for those
shops directly adjacent to the Kresges department store. Therefore, it
is reasonable to believe that the potential of retail use in the
impacted area may be lessened after construction of the building.
2. The proposed use will eliminate a previously approved landscaped and
open public recreation area which will not be relocated or reconstructed
within the shopping center.
3. The impact of additional building area, adjacent to a four-directional
parking lot intersection could create a hazard for pedestrian traffic.
RECOII~E:NDATION
Should the Planning Commission concur with staff's concern over the
appropriateness of the building location, this application should be
amended or denied if a more suitable location cannot be agreed upon.
However, should the Commission wish to approve this project as submitted,
staff recommends that the following conditions be imposed:
Honorable Chairman & Commission Members
June 27, 1983
Page 3
1. That a total of 811 spaces shall be provided on site, as proposed, with
no more than 63 spaces being of compact stall size.
2. A complete landscape and irrigation plan shall be provided for review
and approval by staff for the site of the new structure. Plant material
which might present a visual barrier for drivers and pedestrians shall
not be planted adjacent to the intersection.
3. All roof equipment and vents must be screened from view.
4. Continuous 6" concrete curbs shall be provided between landscape
planters and parking spaces and drive aisles.
5. Compact parking spaces shall be clearly marked for quick identification
by drivers.
6. The signs for the business shall conform to Article VIII, Section 9 of
the Sign Code and with the approved master sign plan.
7. The building architecture shall be constructed as proposed with final
materials and colors to be approved by City staff.
8. The automated teller shall be provided with area lighting completely
around the structure and no high, view-obscuring plant material shall be
located near the facility.

Re: New Buildin~ for Home Federal Savings & Loan
Larwin Square-Tustin
Dear Mr. Lamm:
RECEIVED
dUN 1
Thank you for taking time to meet with Doug Danielson and myself, to review
our current building project for a new home for Home Federal Savings & Loan.
This new building is important to us as it will free up a precious space for
Lease to a retail type busniess and will certainly upgrade the area.
During numerous meetings with the Larwin Square Merchants Association, we
have kept them informed of this project and we have assured them that we
intend to resurface the parking lot, restriping to include their requested
compact spaces. Mr. Danielson has been instructed to work out such a plan.
Pet Mart, the present Tenant behind this.new building is well aware of our
plans and this project. In fact they have acknowledged their ful] under-
standing and agreement within their Lease that the Landlord reserves the
right to build this building.
We do not expect any problem in releasing the present space occupied by Home
Federal Savings once they move out and into their new building. We have
nothing for Lease within Larwin Square-Tustin at this time, being that all
spaces are committed. We are a major center within the City of Tustin, with
numerous requests for space to lease within our Center and it is with regret
that we have to ~urn them down due to the lack of leaseable area.
My Principal intends to be very selective in what will be allowed within our
Center, our desire is to build a good tenant mix and develope a Center that
we, the City of Tustin, and the surrounding area will be proud of.
Your favorable consideration will be appreciated.

Attention: Allan Warren, Senior P]'anner
Community Development Department
Dear Mr. Warren:
As per our telephone conversation, I agree with you that the
most favorable way to view the use of the building is to evaluate
its use as the following:
Basement: BasicalTy storage with partial use as office.
First floor:
Retail (even though this is not required
for our use but it would have the flexibility
of future use and satisfy the city's
current effort to encourage retail in
Tustin.)
Second Floor: Office
The difficulty I have is concerning the parking. Because of the
p~opertyconfigeration the building i~s not efficient. Considerable
ammounts of space will be used for circulation and storage. The net
effect would be substanially less than other structures. Therefore,
I request that the parking requirement should be (7) spaces-there
are (4)spaces on the site-and we would lease or purchase an additional
(3) spaces.
I realize that your evaluation suggests that I provide (9) spaces
total. This would require the lease or purchase of an additional (55
spaces.
I propose to present my request for the reduced parking requirements
at the public hearing on Monday June 27, 1983.
Than~ou for your consideration.

Extension of Use Permit 82-18
Applicant:
Location:
Request:
BACKGROUNO
David Jeffers
1971Ren Circle
To extend Use Permit 82-18 for a period of one year
On July 19, 1982, the Planning Agency approved Use Permit 82-18 (Resolution
No. 2044) and Tentative Tract Map 11752 (Resolution No. 2045) authorizing
the conversion of a duplex rental property into a two-unit condominium. At
that meeting it was determined that the project complies with the Duplex
Residential (R-2) District, as well as the Planned Development Standards
for condominiums. The Use Permit will expire on July 19, 1983 and the
Tentative Map will expire on July 19, 1984. The first structural plan
check has been completed and the owner has been notified of all corrections
that must be made prior to the issuance of building permits.
At this time the Final Map has not been submitted, nor have the CC&R's been
submitted for review by the City Attorney.
DICUSSIO#
The applicant, Mr. David Jeffers, is requesting that Use Permit 82-18 be
extended for one year to coincide with the expiration date of the approved
Tentative Tract Map. He has cited financing difficulties as well as
problems in securing original building plans needed to accompany the
current plan check drawings as reasons supporting his request for
extension.
Staff is of the opinion that the request for extension is justifiable based
on the following findings and conditions:
1. no new development is involved, only interior modifications;
2. the tract map will be valid until July 19, 1984;

Re: Tentative Tract 11752 - Use Permit 82-18
Commissioners:
This letter is to request a time extension for the above referenced
Tract and Use Permit.
Although my improvement plans and Tract Map has been submitted to
the City for first check and review, I have been unable to complete
the processing due to the difficulties I have experienced with the
original architect and the original financial institution of the
First Trust Deed.
It took me over eight months to finally secure copies of the original
building plans from the original architect who now resides in Colorado.
It is my intent to complete this condo conversion (now that I have
made the proper changes to the plans) as quickly as possible.
With this in mind, I respectfully request a one year extension for the
Use Permit and Tract ~p, if necessary.
Sincerely,
David T. Jeffers (Owner)

Use Permit 82-18
Applicant:

Request:
David J. Jeffers
1971 Ren Circle
Authorization to convert a residential duplex apartment to a
two-unit condominium subject to Planned Development Standard
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The subject property was developed in February, 1968 while under Orange
County jurisdiction. The properties on Ren Circle were annexed into the
City in October, 1980.
The existing elements of the site satisfy most of the Planned Development
{PD) standards. One open parking space will be provided in addition to the
existing three-car garage. With this addition, the total land coverage as
defined by the PD district will be 49.9%. With the project being developed
to the limit of allowable coverage, no future expansion of the structure
could be authorized without a variance.
A concern of staff is the concept of a two-unit homeowner's association.
The applicant did submit a sample set of C.C.&R.'s for staff's review. The
regulations propose the naming of a third party to act as a voting member
in all concerns of the association. The City Attorney's office has stated
that'this concept is legally acceptable and it should not cause concern to
the City's interests. The sample C.C.&R.'s need to be revised, however,
before final approval.
The applicant is one of the tenants of the duplex and the other tenants
have been notified by the applicant of the intent to convert.
RECOIWI~NDED ACTION
Approval of Use Permit No. 82-18 by the adoption of Resolution No. 2044.

Applicant:
Location:
Request:
Trussco, Inc. on behalf of Inland Lumber Company
1422 East Edinger Avenue {northwesterly corner of
Redhill and Edinger)
Authorization to operate a building materials
storage yard.
Findings
While the proposed use is viewed as a permanent facility
according to Section 9242{b) of the Tustin City Code, the use
has been limited to a period of two (2) years which may only be
extended upon approval by the Planning Commission.
The highest and best use of the property at a pivotal
intersection is not a building materials yard and therefore it
should be expected to be redeveloped at some future date.
The site, being at the southerly entrance to the residential and
commercial portions of the City should be improved to present a
more attractive feature to the intersection.
e
Installation of marbelite street lights with underground conduit
shall be required across both street frontages or the applicant
shall provide a performance bond to cover the costs of their
installation two years from the date of this resolution.
In the event the applicant fails to terminate use of the
premises at the end of two (2) years, the applicant and land
owner shall be liable to the City for attorney's fees and costs
incurred to enforce termination of the use by legal proceedings
and they shall each file with the City, their written
acknowledgement of such obligation.

Findings
1. The Commission determined that no hardships presently exist to
justify granting the variance as Steelcase currently has more
signage than allowed under code; they have a business
identification sign on each street frontage; and they have the
highest and most visable structure in the area.
2. This proposed sign request was previously denied under Variance
80-4.

Commission Correspondence
Recently, members of the Planning Commission expressed interest in
forwarding opinion letters concerning state legislation. For your
convenience, stationery has been purchased specifically for Planning
Commission correspondence. The department secretary, Janet Hester, is
available to type and forward letters at your request. Do please utilize
this service either by forwarding your draft letters to this office or
dictating to her by telephone, rather than utilizing personal secretarial
services which you may presently have available. The Commission may then
be assured of consistent letter format, quality and record-keeping for all
City-related business. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact
me at your convenience.
