A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 2016-20 AUTHORIZING THE ESTABLISHMENT
AND OPERATION OF A PRIVATE INDOOR RECREATIONAL
USE FOR A BASEBALL HITTING AND PITCHING TRAINING
FACILITY.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2016-20
was filed by Jeffery Chun, of Basebailogy, requesting authorization to
establish and operate an indoor baseball hitting and pitching training
facility within an existing 2,632 square-foot tenant space located at
2872 Walnut Avenue, Suite B.
B. That the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community District
regulations and the Planned Community Commercial/Business
General Plan land use designation provide for a variety of commercial
and industrial uses. 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.
C. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP
2016-20 on October 25, 2016, by the Planning Commission.
D. 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, nor be injurious or detrimental
to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject
property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that:
1) Subsection C of Section VI of the Planned Community District
Regulations for the Irvine Industrial Complex, allows private
indoor recreational facilities such as batting cages, dance
studios, gymnastic studios, and martial arts studios as
conditionally permitted uses. The proposed baseball hitting and
pitching training facility is similar to a batting cage facility in which
patrons would develop and improve their baseball skills.
2) The proposed baseball hitting and pitching training facility is
located in a large multi-tenant industrial office complex and
potential conflicts between the use and other tenants is not
anticipated based on the conditions to be imposed and that
most of the activities are scheduled in the afternoon, after
Resolution No. 4330
Page 2
normal business hours and during the weekend. As
conditioned, the number of occupants, types of activities and
hours of operation would be compatible with the neighboring
light industrial and office uses, and the applicant would be
required to notify the City of any changes to the use of the
facility.
3) As conditioned, the proposed use would not result in any parking
impacts because the maximum number of occupants will be
limited to sixteen (16) persons at any given time based upon the
parking ratio of one (1) parking space per every three (3)
persons, and the 5.6 parking spaces allotted to the tenant space.
In addition, a transition period would be provided between
training sessions.
4) As conditioned, no noise impacts are anticipated as all training
activities shall be conducted entirely within the building and
would be required to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance.
5) As conditioned, CUP 2016-20 may be reviewed on an annual
basis, or more often if necessary, by the Community
Development Director. If the use is not operated in accordance
with CUP 2016-20 or is found to be a nuisance or negative
impacts are affecting the surrounding uses, the Community
Development Director would have the authority to impose
additional conditions to eliminate the nuisance or negative
impacts or may initiate proceedings to revoke the CUP.
6) The proposed use would not have any aesthetic impacts to the
area since no exterior modifications are proposed.
7) The City's Public Works Department, Police Department and
Building Division have reviewed and support the development
of the proposed project, as conditioned.
8) The applicant understands that the Planned Community
Industrial (PC IND) zoning of the property allows uses such as
manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, laboratories, and other
light industrial uses and does not object to these more intensive
uses operating in close proximity to the training facility.
E. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class
1 of the California. Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act).
11. The Planning Commission hereby approves CUP 2016-20 authorizing the
establishment and operation of an indoor baseball hitting and pitching
training facility located within an existing 2,632 square-foot tenant space
