establishments are conditionally permitted in the C2 Zoning District.
Pursuant to Sections 9272 and 9277 of the TCC, Design Review (DR)
approval is required for enlargements of existing structures and outdoor
restaurant seating areas. In addition, the project has been reviewed for
consistency with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin's (the City)
General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the Air Quality
Sub-element.
C. The proposed restaurant use is located in a commercial building and
commercial corridor where a variety of retail and restaurant uses are

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; the location, size, architectural
features and general appearance of the proposed development will not
impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or
future development therein, the occupancy thereof, or the community as a
whole of the City in that-
1.
hat:1. The proposed sale of on-site alcoholic beverages in conjunction with an
existing restaurant use is allowed within the C2 Zoning District with the
approval of a CUP (TCC Section 9233(b)1 and 9232(b)2).
2. Pursuant to TCC Section 9271(dd), bona fide restaurants with on-site
alcoholic beverage sales are exempt from distance separation
requirements to residential uses, sensitive uses, and other alcoholic
beverage sales establishments.
3. As conditioned, the proposed on-site consumption of beer, wine, and
distilled spirits is consistent with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales
Establishment Guidelines as amended by the Planning Commission and
adopted by the City Council on May 21, 2001.
4. The existing and proposed on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages
would be in conjunction with a restaurant use where food will be served
at all times when alcoholic beverages are served.
5. The design for the building expansion and the outdoor restaurant seating_
area is compatible with the overall design of the building.
6. The outdoor restaurant seating area is included in the parking analysis
for the restaurant use, which can be accommodated by the Parking
Exception Program.
7. The restaurant is located within a commercial building and a commercial
corridor along EI Camino Real where a variety of retail, office, and
restaurant uses are located. The allowed restaurant hours of 8:00 AM to
12:00 AM daily for the interior seating and 8:00 AM until 11:00 PM daily
for the outdoor seating are consistent with the characteristics of
restaurant uses and hours of operation of the restaurant would be similar
to other restaurants in the vicinity.
8. The restaurant, as proposed, is compatible and consistent with
development within the commercial areas of Old Town Tustin. There are
Resolution No. 4329
Page 3
commercial buildings providing the same type of use as proposed within
the immediate vicinity of the project site.
9. The proposed development meets the findings required within Section
9352J3(d)(3)(d) of the TCC to allow for the granting of a parking
exception.
10.The City previously prepared the Old Town Parking Study that
concluded that there is a significant amount of available parking in the
area.
11.The parking exception for this project is consistent with the City's goal of
introducing customer-attracting commercial uses, replacing underutilized
and vacant parcels, generating jobs, increasing the number of persons
shopping and working in Old Town Tustin, and fostering economic
development of the surrounding areas
12.The City's Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns.
F. The proposed project been found to be consistent with Ordinance No. 1416
which allows all or a portion of a project's required on-site parking spaces to
be met through the payment of an annual fee intended to compensate the
City for the proportional use and maintenance of public parking based upon
the Planning Commission's determination that the project meets the
following findings:
1. The proposed project is an infill project located within the commercial
district of Old Town. The proposed business would be located within a
newer in-fill building, constructed in 2003, that has been utilized for office
uses. The Parking Exception Program agreement, which the applicant is
requesting, would provide greater flexibility in uses and could aid in the
conversion of this building to a restaurant use. The chiropractic office
tenant plans to vacate the property and the new business owner is
seeking more flexibility in meeting on-site parking requirements to allow
for a restaurant use, which is anticipated to draw business to Old Town
Tustin
2. The proposed project is considered to be relatively small. The project
consists of an existing 2,715 square foot building on an approximately
7,375 square foot lot. This size is deemed to be relatively small in the
realm of Southern California commercial real estate.
3. The proposed project has incorporated building or site design
enhancements that make it an outstanding addition to Old Town Tustin.
The existing in-fill building on the property is a unique contributor to the
commercial building portfolio in Old Town Tustin as it was constructed to
be sensitive to the character of Old Town Tustin. The proposed exterior
building modifications are compatible with the existing building, and the
Resolution No. 4329
Page 4
proposed outdoor restaurant seating complements Old Town Tustin's
design and character, and enhances the pedestrian environment.
4. The proposed project provides some onsite parking, but is aestheticall
superior to one that provided all reouired parking on site. The property
currently provides .six (6) on-site parking spaces for the existing office
building, but four (4) of these parking spaces would be removed .in
conjunction with the proposed expansion of the building. To
accommodate the restaurant use, the applicant has agreed to enter into
a Parking Exception Agreement. A total of twenty-two (22) parking
spaces are required for the intended use of a restaurant with an outdoor
restaurant seating area, and the majority of the required spaces would
be satisfied through the Parking Exception Program agreement.
5. The project applicant is conditioned to pay an annual fee for each public
space not provided on site. The applicant is aware of the required
annual fee of sixty dollars ($60) per parking space established by the
City Council. In addition, the applicant is also aware that the fee is
subject to change as determined by the City Council. The conditions of
approval require. payment of the annual fee.
G. The Old Town Parking Exception Fee was established at sixty dollars
($60.00) per space through City Council Resolution No. 12-27 and the
applicant has requested parking exception and agreed to pay an annual fee
for spaces not provided on-site.
H. As part of its Capital Improvement Program, the City is in the process of
establishing consistent design standards for parklets that will be installed
within the public right-of-way to accommodate outdoor seating areas along
Main Street and EI Camino Real in Old Town Tustin. The Community
Development Director is authorized to approve amendments to the
Revocable License Agreement and the Parking Exception Agreement, if
applicable, to accommodate additional outdoor restaurant seating within a
future parklet adjacent to the site.
I. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 of
the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act).
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves CUP 2015-22 and DR 2015-016
authorizing' the enlargement and conversion of an existing office/commercial
building to a restaurant with on-site beer, wine, and distilled spirit sales (ABC
License Type 47) and an outdoor restaurant seating area and a parking
exception of twenty (20) parking spaces for the property located at 215-217 EI
