Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Community Development Department
Zone Change 81-5
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City~ouncil introduce Ordinance No. 858,
by title only, approving Zone Change 81-5.
Applicant:
Location:
Request:
Joe A. Boswell
14351 Red Hill Avenue
To change the zone from Duplex Residential (R-2) to
Multi-Family Residential (R-3).
BACKGROUND
In December, 1980, the subject property was annexed into the City
of Tustin subsequent to the adoption of Resolutions No. 80-103,
80-106. A single family dwelling currently occupies the lot, and
is surrounded by multi-family residential units. Abutting on the
rear and northerly side yard is a subdivision of duplex units, all
of which front on Green Valley Drive. Along the southerly side
yard, and fronting on Red Hill, is an apartment complex.
On August 3, 1981, the Planning Agency adopted Resolution No. 1996
recommending the City Council approve the subject zone change.
DISCUSSION
It is felt that the applicant's request to rezone the subject
location is both appropriate and viable. The character of the
property (frontage on Red Hill and proximity to other R-3 zones)
definitively lends itself to the flexibility the R-3 zone offers.
Included in Planning Agency Resolution No. 1996, is a condition
that provides that should the subject property be developed
residential, a density level of one dwelling unit per 2,500 square
feet of land area be imposed. Staff feels that such a condition is
valid and should be maintained in any action taken by the Council.

CONCLUSIONS
Staff concludes that:'
1. An R-3 zone designation is in conformance with the Tustin Area
General Plan.
2. The character of the subject property is such that the R-3 zone
is appropriate and viable.
e
Consideration should be given to potential residential uses and
therefore a density level of one unit per 2500 square feet
should be imposed.
