A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT 2016-08 FOR A KARAOKE MUSIC STUDIO
WITHIN A 5,000 SQUARE FOOT TENANT SPACE AT AN
EXISTING LARGE RETAIL CENTER LOCATED AT 14561 &
14571 RED HILL AVENUE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That proper application has been submitted by Sung Hak Ko to establish a
karaoke music studio at an existing Large Retail Center located at 14561 &
14571 Red Hill Avenue.
B. Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9233b9, a karaoke music studio
is permitted in the Retail Commercial District (C-2) with the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
C. That the site is zoned as Retail Commercial District (C-2) and has a General
Plan land-use designation of Community Commercial where a variety of
retail, office and service oriented business activities are permitted to serve
local, as well as broad market areas. In addition, the project has been
reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of
Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the Air
Quality Sub-element.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on September 13, 2016, by the Planning Commission.
E. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use
will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be injurious or
detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the
subject property, or to the general welfare, in that:
1. The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the
surrounding properties in that the use would occur entirely within the
building and would be conditioned to comply with the Tustin Noise
Ordinance and General Plan Noise Element.
2. As conditioned, the hours of operation will be consistent with other uses
within the center.
Resolution No. 4319
Page 2
3. The proposed use, as conditioned, would not create a noise impact on
the surrounding neighborhood because the karaoke booths would be
made soundproof and Condition 2.1 prohibits loitering outside the
business.
4. The hours of operation and type of business are consistent with other
businesses within the same commercial center and the C-2 zoning
district in general.
5. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited at the site in accordance with TCC
9271dd2a, which subjects onsite alcoholic beverage sales
establishments, other than restaurants, to a minimum distance
requirement of 1,000 feet from any residentially zoned or used property.
Residentially zoned properties are located within 1,000 feet of the
subject property to the north, south, east and west and alcoholic
beverage sales are therefore prohibited at this site.
6. As conditioned, the proposed use would not result in any parking
impacts because the onsite parking adequately provides for all existing
and proposed uses. The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the
proposed business and has concluded that there will be no adverse
traffic impacts and there is sufficient parking and street capacity to
support the proposed project.
F. The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California. Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines
15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities). This Categorical Exemption allows
for the licensing of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of
use beyond that which was existing at the time of the determination.
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves CUP 2016-08 authorizing the
establishment of a karaoke music studio within a 5,000 square foot tenant space
at an existing large Retail Center located at 14561 & 14571 Red Hill Avenue.
