It was :~?~{e~.__~bv K~nn.edy, .~c~n~_ by Hoestere~, to approve the

[See l~e~ [ k. elow.)
in respcr~se ~o Councilman Edgar, Dr. Fleagle provided a progress
report cn ~%e following matters:
Redevelopment Finan~i~n~ly~is - Currently under study; a
report kas been ore~ared by the City Attorney; previous and
present sections of that law have been studied; a sessien 2~
scheduled in June in Sacramento which specifically addresses
current Redevelopment financing; hopes City will be repre-
sented at same; staff will report to Council following the
June session regarding financing amendment to the Redevelop-
ment Plan. J~
Gfeller Parki~ Deve!oQ~ (445 "C" Street) - Plans sub-
mitted; staff has met with Gfeller to review same; staff to
send letter tomorrow suggesting plan modifications necessary
to meet City standards. The parking structure would have
provided 100 spaces for public use; staff unable to calcu-
late need equivalent to that; to proceed to create 100
spaces which are not presently needed (until perhaps five
years from now) would be unwarranted Agency expense; City
wants air rights so that parking can be created when need is
evident. Portable parking structures are being specifically
explored, as they do not require parking relocation during
construction. 81
In response to Councilwoman Kennedy's interjection regarding the
4-20-81 minutes, Council concurred to amend the motion on page
2, paragraph 6, to include . . . "friendly" eminent domain at
such time . . .

severance pay provision, which might attract more recruits for
the position in future years. Pursuant to other concerns
expressed, it was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to

1. SIX STAR CABLEFISION
As recommended in the memo dated May 4, 198~, and following Dr.
Fleagle's oral reportv it was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by
H~esterej~, that:
a. Council indicate a willingness to further explore the feasi-
bility of locating the Six Star Cablevision antenna on the
Bene~a ~¢ell Site and direct Six Star to proceed with the
recuired applications;
b. Six Star deposit $1,000.00 with City to cover cost of an
appraisal to determine reasonable rental charge (to go to
%dater Fund for uses on water well site); and
c. Council and staff determine those applications of cable
television that would be in best interests of public in pro-
v[~ing municipal services and information prior to negotiat-
ini~ lease rights to public property.
Council/staff discussion followed. Councilwoman Kennedy
expr~e5 a need for information on other cable television com-
pany ~.77hications to allow a better evaluation of Six Star's
pror~o$~l. Dr. Fleagle explained that although an Environmental
Impa.~ Re?orr is not required, proceeding with the Use Permit
prcces~ would, during the public hearing, provide sufficient
inn~ ~e~arding any adverse impacts/concerns raised by Council-
woman kennedy via Negative Declaration issuance. If the Use
Per--.it is approved, Council would then have to determine the.
negotiable benefits to the City from a lease vs. other alter-
nativeF. The City Engineer added that possibly Santa Ana was
deluge~ with proposals (Tustin has received only one) because a
good portion of that city will be served overhead (which is more
economical), whereat Tustin will be served underground.
Motion carried 4:1, Kennedy dissenting.

RE.~UTION NO. 81-52 - A Resolution of the City Council of the
City .~ ~ustin ADOPTING SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 6 (Holt Neighborhood
Plan)
R. Kenneth Fleagle, Acting Community Development Director,
reported that this action was initiated by the Planning Agency
for the adoption of a specific plan for residential uses in the
area located on the easterly side of Holt Ave., westerly of the
E1 Modena Flood Control Channel, southerly of Warren Avenue and
northerly of the North Tustin Channel. The subject area is cur-
rently divided into eight lots, which are under several differ-
ent ownerships. The five lots north o~ the North Tustin Channel
were recently annexed to the City, with a PD-3000 zone. The
remaining three lots are under the jurisdiction of the County of
Orange, zoned E-4. The existing land uses in the area are
either vacant lots or older single-family homes on large lots.
Review of a proposed project in the specific plan area will be
by Use Permit. All residents of the area have been advised of
the hearing. One telephone call was received from an adjoining
property owner within the County area wishing to be included,
but finding out they cannot be.

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:37 P.M.
Arnold Hamala, developer and owner of some of the lots, said
that this was a good plan and offered to answer any questions.
Stephen Johnson, President of Santiago Municipal Advisory
Council (SMAC), said that some of the area is in their jurisdic-
tion and he felt a specific plan was the right approach, how-
ever, he had the following concerns: 1) That the density of
3000' land area per dwelling unit not ~e construed as automatic
density for that area; 2) 40% open space requirement rather than
50%; and 3) That one of two car spaces would be allowed to be
open rather than a closed garage.
Dr. Fleagle responded that a lesser density could result in a
better project but not necessarily, that the need for a private
roadway was the reason for decreasing 10% open space, and that
both car spaces being enclosed would result in more cars on the
street. Open car spaces give a more open feeling.
Pat Kovalt, property owner on Holt Ave., was concerned because
the developers that submitted a project for her property have
cancelled because they were not granted a few of these same con-
cessions. She said they had tried to please the planners but
were turned down by the Council.
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:51 P.M.
In response to Councilwoman's questions regarding density and
flood control land, Dr. Fleagle said that of the 2 properties
planned to be develoDe~, there will be 10 units on each 2 lots
for a total of 20 units on 4 lots; and there is still a poten-
tial that the flood control land could be provided for open
space.
Dr. Fteagle responded to Councilman Saltarelli's concerns that
the 40f open space would be granting a special privilege by say-
ing that this action would be putting an overlay zone on the
entire block with a private street and neighborhood ownership. If
Mrs. Kovalt's property were developed as R-3, it would not be
re~c~red to have 50% open space but as condominiums, 50% open
space woul~ be required.
Councilm~n Saltarelli was also concerned about red tile roofs
and liTht weight asphalt roofs not being allowed.
Dr. Fkeagle and Mr. Hamala explained that the intent was to
develop a neighborhood by coordinating the parcels through roof
scape.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 81-52, which adopts Specific Plan No. 6, with
modification of Section V., 4., B. of Specific Plan No. 6
regarding roof texture, to be more flexible. Carried 5~0.
APPEAL OF USE PERM/T 8~-~3 - Robert P. Warmington Company, 13112
Newport Avenue, Suite I & H (Packers Square)
Dr. Fleagle reported that the members of the ~'Nai Israel
Congregation were not able to give their testimony at the Plan-
ning Agency meeting because they arrived after the Agency ha~
made its decision and therefore they were appealing the decision
of the Agency in order to give their presentation.
The Public Hearing opened at 8:06 P.M.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 7, 5-4-81
Robert H. Odle, 16592 Hale Avenue, Irvine, representative of the
Robert P. Warmington Co., asked that the Council allow the
interim location of the B'Nai Israel religious congregation and
class area in Suites I & H at 13112 Newport Avenue, commonly
known as Packers Square. One issue of concern is the parking.
If you look at the configuration of the existing project, it is
not necessarily a lack of parking spaces that presents a
problem, but a matter of parking lot design that adds to
congestion at the primary entrance. We do hope to have the
second entrance completed within 90 days.
Robert $. Sklar, 304 Calle Baja, Orange, President of B'Nai
Israel, a newly formed conservative Jewish Congregation in the
Tustin area, explained that their primary use of the property
would be on Friday night from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. A smaller ser-
vice will be from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. The school
is only in session from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays and 9
a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sundays and pickup will be in back of the
building. The key is that we will check our pickups and drop
offs and control our people so that all parking is in the rear
of the building. There were approximately 14 people in the
audience in support of this Use Permit.
Gene Selig, No. 1, Lake Trail, Irvine, chairman of temporary and
permanent housing, said that geographically this is about as
perfect a location for temporary use as they have found. Most
of their members live in the Tustin area. He said they would
need the use for 2 or 3 years as they have already engaged ser-
vices of a man who is looking for a permanent piece of land
where they can build. He guaranteed that the people will park
in the rear.
The Public Hearing was closed at 8:23 P.M.
Coun~ilman }{oesterey pointed out that the Planning Agency's con-
cerD~ were mainly about parking and his doubts have been allevi-
ated }~cau~e of assurances that they would park in the rear. It
was ~>i~e_~7 Hoest~r%~, se3on_d3_d by Sa13333333, to overrule the
~la.~in~ A~ency's decision and direct staff to draft a resolu-
tion of approval that would include that parking is to be in the
rear ...... this Use Permit would be reviewed in one year and
if c~)n~itlcas are satisfactory, it would be renewable.
Councilman Edgar asked if there was some way parking could be
reviewed sooner than a year. Dr. Fleag!e responded that there
is a ~mrking problem there now. If you approve this permit, you
w~]i. ~%ave somebody filing a complaint and then have to ~
through the process of correcting it. You could write the Use'
Per,it to provide for complaints.
Councilman Saltarelli was opposed to this. He expressed that
the Irvine Ranch M~rket uses more than their share of the park-
inq and no one has suggested closing them down. Mr. Odle from
Warmington informe~ that they have the full support of Irvine
Ranch Market and they think parking in the rear will be satis-
factory. They have had no negative comments from anyone. Dr.
Fleagle said that notices had been sent to residents and owners
of property within 300 ft. but not to tenants in the shopping
center and no responses have been received.
Motion carried 5:0.
ORDINANCE NO. 84~ - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City
of Tustin, AMENDING THE CITY CODE BY THE ADDITION TO SECTION
8105, ADOPTION OF THE STATE HISTORICAL CODE
Dr. Fleagle, Acting Community Development Director, reported
that Ordinance No. 843 would adopt the State Historical Building
Code which would permit the conversion of historic buildings
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 8, 5-4-81
under less restrictive building standards than those required by
the 1979 Uniform Building Code which is applicable to all other
projects. It makes only those buildings which the Council
designates to be historic buildings subject to the Historical
Building Code.
Tony Coco, President of the current Tustin Historical Society,
said that if this ordinance is passed and the Society is called
on for any advice, they will be willing to helD where possible.
The Public Hearing was closed, and it was then moved by Edgar,
seconded b~ Kennedy, that Ordinance No. 843 have first reading
by title only. Carried 5:0.
Following the reading of the title of Ordinance No. 843 by the
City Clerk, it was moved by Edgar, seconded b_y Kennedy, that
Ordinance No. 843 be introduced. Carried 5:0. 81
ORDINANCE NO. 845 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City
of Tustin, AMENDING THE TUSTIN CITY CODE RELATIVE TO NOISE

Dr. Fleagle reported that the Orange County Public Health
Department enforces the noise ordinance for the City of Tustin
and they have requested amendments to our ordinance to make it
compatible with their regulations. This ordinance was drafted
and reviewed by the Council.

Motion carried 5:0.
ORDINANCE NO. 846 - An Ordi~n~e of the City Council of the City
of Tustin, APPROVING THE REZONING OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES FROM C-1
TO CG DISTRICT AT THE NORTHEASTERLY CORNER OF RED HILL AVENUE
AND NISSON ROAD (Zone Change 81-~ - Eugene and Rita Tutt)
Dr. Fleagle, Acting Co~unity Development Director, reported
that this applies to the NE corner of Red Hill Avenue and Nisson
Rd, the site of Shell Service Station, the former Mr. Ups, a
nursery and a single-family residence. This ordinance would
make it permissible to have an auto leasing agency, which is
presently in the building. The matter was heard this afternoon
at the Planning Agency meeting and was continued to May 18, 1981
because the owner was not present to agree to street improve-
ments and filing a parcel map. It would be appropriate to open
the Public Hearing, take testimony, and continue to the May 18,
1981 meeting.
The Public Hearing was oDened at 8:48 P.M.
No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to the Ordinance.
It was moved by ~%~ed], seconded by Hoester~_y, to continue this
item to the May 18, 198~ meeting. Carried 5:0.

CONCERNS 1.
PROPOSED DOME HOUSE ON SECOND
Donald R. Bond, 15091 Clemons Cir., Irvine, owner of a piece of
property at 340 W. 2nd St. with plans submitted to the Co--unity
Development Department for construction of a dome house, spoke
against the Council's previous action to require Architectural
review of all R-1 property. He said that his rights as a pro-
perty owner have been abused and requested that the action taken
to amend the Guidelines for Planning and Zoning not be made
applicable to him since his plans were in Plan Check before the
amendment was passed.
Councilman Saltarelli responded that his understanding was that
Mr. Bond's plans had been returned to him for corrections or
additions and they had not been resubmitted to the Community
Development Department with corrections.
Mr. Bond said that he had been advised that the geodesic dome is
not satisfactory. The major consideration is architectural
style. There were approximately 25 people in the audience to
support Mr. Bond's position including his designer, Greq Ben-
nett, and Fred M. Ahnert, 1442 Irvine Blvd., Suite 136, Tustin.
Art Charleton, 460 W. 2nd St., Harvey Gruber, 425 W. 2nd St. and
Alan Robbins, spoke in opposition to the dome house. There were
approximately 14 others in the audience in opposition.
NO action wa~ taken on this matter.
2. OPeN SPACE FOR OONDOMINIUMS
Denny Petitone, Pat Kovalt, and Emmit Khune spoke regarding the
50% open space requirement for development of condominiums.
They particularly were concerned because Specific Plan No. 6
-~hL~'~ was adopted earlier in the evening allowed for 40% open
sp.~ce and the project for Pat Kovalt's property was required to
have 30% open space.
dr. Fleag!e, Acting Community Development Director, explained
tk~ ~t Kcvalt's property was E-4 in the County and was annexed
to ~-e Ct~-.~ at her insistence and was pre-zoned R-3-3000 which
would per?.it 75% coverage (25% open space) for apartment build-
ia~ but the developer wanted to develop condominiums and our
~rf~-~e requires 50% open space for condominiums because they
become- permanent residences. He explained that the Specific
Plan ~;o. 6 that was approved for property on Holt Street south
of Ms. Kovalt's property was a plan for the entire block which
required a private street the entire length of the block and 40%
~n space.
The Planning Ag~nc~ had directed the developer of Pat Kovalt's
property to review his plans and return to the Agency with
modifications that would satisfy Agency concerns. It was his
decision to ask that the matter be tabled because he was not
willing to decrease the number of units. The Council said they
were willing to work with the developer to find a plan mutually
acceptable.
Tony Coco, resident of Tustin, suggested Council might consider
an ordinance amendment that would give consideration to existing
contiguous space around a development for part of the 50% open
space. Ms. Kovalt's property is next to the flood control
property.
Council concurred to direct staff to prepare a draft amendment
to the condominium ordinance for Planning Agency consideration
that will provide for existing contiguous usable permanent open
space. 81

A~ L~OOI~NMENT
REQUES~ FOR ADDITIONAL CD~,-IANCE YEAR BY THOMAS J. K~.T.y, ~. --
325 S. "C" STR~.~.r
Dr. Fleagle reported that Thomas J. Kelly, Sr. was requesting an
additional year for compliance with the zoning ordinance without
forfeiture of security deposit for the property located at 325
S. "C" Street.
Thomas J. Kelly, Sr. informed the Council that because of vari-
ous reasons, one of which was recuperation from being mugged and
assaulted on a trip, he was asking for a full year extension.
There is only one apartment being used for residential purposes
and part of his family is living in it. He wishes to finish the
project correctly without having to rush.
It was moved by Kennedy, s~onded by Hoest~re~, to qrant a one
year extension to the subject agreement.
Councilman Saltarelli said that the Council was under criticism
for granting this agreement two years ago. He said he was will-
ing to grant the extension for one year if it included that only
family members can live in the apartment and that at the end of
the one year, there will be no further extension.
The ~_~_tion was amended b_y Kennedy, Seconded by H_o~sterey, to
?rant a one year extensio~ to the subject agreement with the
conditions that only family members can live in the apartment
and t~e ~.~ be no further extensions granted. The amended
