City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
- INTRODUCTION
The Vintage Planned Community District Regulations represent the orderly plan to develop a new high-
quality residential community in the City of Tustin. This section outlines the project objectives, project
setting, existing conditions, and key ways in which the Vintage Planned Community implements the City's
General Plan vision and improves the quality of life in the City.
1.1. Proiect Objective
The regulations set forth in this set of District Regulations for the Vintage Planned Community District have
been established to satisfy the Planned Community District requirements of the Tustin City Code and to
provide diversification among the relationship of uses, buildings and structures in planned building
groups. These regulations provide direction for the orderly development of 140 multifamily residential
units on an existing 6.81 acre industrial site in the City of Tustin. The application of these regulations and
development standards are intended to achieve the following major objectives:
• Encourage the appropriate use of land within the City.
• Create a harmonious residential development that protects the health, safety and general welfare of
the community and provide the flexibility needed to create a quality environment.
• Develop a collection of high-quality multifamily homes that appeal to a diverse market of homebuyers,
promote the site's potential, and enhance the character of the site and adjacent land uses.
• Revitalize older industrial development to maintain a quality urban environment adjacent to Old Town
Tustin, and reposition the current site into a more attractive residential project compatible with the
surrounding single-family neighborhood.
• Provide access to open space and recreation with the provision of on-site facilities.
• Improve the city-wide urban design and pedestrian environment along Sixth Street and B Street
through site design, building orientation, and landscaping, and by creating a uniquely identifiable
neighborhood.
• Incorporate sustainable design strategies, including water -efficient landscaping and energy-saving
appliances.
Development within the Vintage Planned Community shall occur consistent with these Planned
Community District Regulations, including the Conceptual Development Plans in Section 5.0.
1.2. Proiect Setting
The Tustin Vintage project is a 6.81 acre site located at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and B Street in
the City of Tustin,just north of Interstate 5 (1-5/Santa Ana Freeway).
Regional Location
The City of Tustin is located in central Orange County, and is bordered by Irvine to the south and east,
unincorporated portions of the County of Orange and the City of Orange to the north, and Santa Ana to the
south and west. The City encompasses 11.082 total square miles, with a population of approximately
75,000 residents (2016). Access to the Vintage site is provided via 1-5 and SR -55 (Costa Mesa Freeway),
which intersect directly southwest of the project area.
City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
Figure 1: Local Vicinity
Local Context
The Vintage site is located just west of the Old Town Commercial area in Tustin, which is characterized by
retail, professional offices, and service-oriented businesses serving Old Town Tustin. To the north of the
project area is a single-family residential neighborhood, which encompasses several historic homes. These
homes are located within the boundaries of Tustin's Cultural Resources District, which was created to
ensure the maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of Tustin's Old Town area and existing single
family zoning within the area. Existing vehicular access to the site is provided along Sixth Street to the
north and B Street to the east.
1.3. Existing Conditions
Property on the site currently serves an array of uses including sign and electronics light manufacturing
facilities for signs, as well as a church, self -storage facility, and a number of other similar uses. None of the
existing structures will be retained as part of the project, and demolition of any existing on-site structures
will occur before project grading begins
City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
General Plan
Under the Tustin General Plan, the project site is designated as an Industrial land use, which permits
industrial and office uses, such as wholesale businesses, light manufacturing, storage, distribution and
sales, research and development laboratories, and service commercial businesses with a max FAR of 0.5.
Zoning
In the City of Tustin's Zoning Ordinance, the project area is designated as a "Planned Industrial" zone,
which allows for various light industrial and manufacturing uses. The PM zone implements the Industrial
general plan land use designation.
1.4. Key issues
The land uses and design standards for the PCD align with Tustin General Plan goals to:
• Achieve balanced development that accommodates existing and future needs for housing and
community facilities.
• Ensure that new development is compatible with surrounding land uses in the community, the City's
circulation network, availability of public facilities, existing development constraints and the City's
unique characteristics and resources. The development types proposed in these regulations are
compatible with the historic and architecturally significant residential properties which lie adjacent to
the project area.
• Revitalize older industrial developments to maintain a quality urban environment, and create more
complimentary uses in between the historic district and the freeway.
• Improve city-wide urban design by creating uniquely identifiable neighborhoods that connect with the
best parts of the community, and provide for both public and private open space.
• Promote economic expansion and diversification of the Old Town District. The integration of
residential uses in Old Town provides increased market support for retail and commercial uses, and
improves the vitality of the district.
• Provide new for -sale market rate housing options in the City of Tustin.
STATISTICAL SUMMARY
The Vintage project includes two townhome product types (Melrose Place and Veranda Court) that have
been designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding neighborhood and the existing single-family
homes along Sixth Street. The project supports a range of unit sizes with three- and four-bedroom floor
plans that meet the housing needs of the community. The Vintage project allows for the development of
140 townhome residential units. Table 1 outlines the proposed product details.
Melros-- Place
Melrose Place homes range in size from 1,700 to 2,300 square feet, utilizing four different creative
floorplans. A total of 92 Melrose Place units are proposed. Melrose Place units are located along Sixth Street
and B Street, generally in groups of 4 to 8 units per building, and are 2-3 stories tall, with a maximum
building height of 42 feet. All Melrose Place units include two -car attached garages (side-by-side) accessed
from private drives.
City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
Veranda Court
Veranda Court homes range in size from 1,400 to 1,700 square feet, featuring three separate floorplans.
Veranda Court homes are proposed in packs of four (for a total of 48 units) and are generally located along
the project's southern boundary parallel to 1-5. All Veranda Court units are three stories, with a maximum
building height of 42 feet. All Veranda Court units include two -car attached garages (side-by-side) accessed
from private drives.

Veranda Court 48 1,400 SF - 1,700 SF
LAND USE REGULATIONS
4— 8 units/building
4-5 units/building
The land use regulations and development standards contained within this document act as a principle
part of the controlling mechanism for implementation of the Planned Community District designation.
Standards set forth in this Section will ensure that development within the Vintage Planned Community
proceeds in a consistent and appropriate manner.
1 u, pose and Intent
To accommodate the proposed development's variety of home types, variations from the City zoning
regulations are necessary. The City's Planned Community zoning district (P -C) provides the mechanism for
creating special land use regulations to best meet the needs of the project area. These custom-tailored
regulations support the project's integration into the existing neighborhood and help create a more
pedestrian -friendly environment along Sixth Street and B Street. For these reasons, a zone change from
Planned Industrial (as described in Section 1) to Planned Community (P -C) is proposed.
Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses
The following uses shall be permitted in the Vintage project area:
• Dwelling, multiple
• Home occupations
All uses not specifically listed above are prohibited in the project area. Additionally, temporary uses are
subject to provisions of Tustin City Code.
,vvv,. pment Stanuaras
The development standards contained in this Planned Community (P -C) district document solely apply to
the subject site and supersede all provisions, standards, and requirements of Tustin City Code, except in
instances where the district regulations remain silent. If a conflict arises between the regulations contained
in this code and the City's Municipal Code, then the standards in this chapter shall take precedence.
• Gross Acres: 6.81 acres
• Gross Density: 20.6 du/ac
• Lot Coverage: 45%
City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
• Minimum front yard setback: 5 feet
• Minimum interior side yard setback: 3 feet
• Minimum corner side yard setback: 5 feet
• Minimum rear yard setback: 5 feet
• Minimum building to building separation: 10 feet
• Maximum Building Height: Two stories, 30 feet. Three stories, 42 feet.
Open Space
The Vintage community presents a complete landscape program with ample private and common open
space to serve the active and passive recreation needs of its residents. Private open space will be
maintained by the property owner and common open space will be perpetually owned and maintained by
the Homeowners Association.
Private Open Space
Private open space provides individual outdoor areas where residents can enjoy themselves in relative
privacy. These spaces may take the form of yards, patios, or balconies and be designed to allow residents to
relax, gather, garden, and/or eat in an outdoor environment. Vintage requires a minimum of 80 square feet
of private open space per unit; the actual amount of private open space provided per unit ranges from 80
square feet to 200 square feet.
Common Open Space
Vintage also provides common open space in the form of a Public Park, recreation area, and pedestrian
paseos. A minimum of 300 square feet of common open space is required per unit. The Public Park,
fronting on Sixth Street, has an informal "garden" aesthetic to fit the existing streetscape character. The
park features a seat wall area with central decorative feature, lawn area, and dog waste station.
The recreation area, located just south of the park, features an 880 square -foot clubhouse that provides
social space, changing space and restrooms. Additional features of the recreation area include an 800
square -foot pool, cabanas and loungers, tables and chairs, raised planters with built in seating, and a built-
in BBQ. The clubhouse, pool, and associated features shall meet accessibility standards.
The pedestrian paseos provide passive open spaces where people can walk, sit or gather in small groups
are located between residential buildings. The project's paseos include outdoor seating (chairs and coffee
tables), gathering space (fire table and chairs), and ambient lighting. Landscaped parkways are located
throughout the community, providing an additional amenity for residents looking to take a leisurely walk
with their family or pet. "No outlet" signage will be installed at the entrance of all alleys to convey paseo
access is for residents only.
J.J. irici .GJ QllLl Walls
Vintage is designed to blend harmoniously with the existing single family neighborhood, and as such, the
project features only a limited number of fences and walls. The intent is for the community to feel open
and welcoming, while still providing the necessary protection from 1-5 and security for its recreational
facilities, residents and guests.
City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
Noise Wall Adjacent to I-5
The community will be protected from the noise of 1-5 by a 20 -foot sound wall running the length of its
southern boundary, adjacent to 1-5. The freeway is sloped such that the south end of the project site is 9.5
feet below the freeway's grade, and at the northern portion of the site, 4 feet below the freeway's grade.
Thus, when viewed from the residential side, the noise wall is 20 feet, but when viewed from 1-5, the noise
wall would only appear to be 10.5 feet in height at the southern edge and 16 -feet high at the northern
edge.
Freeway Security Fencing
A freeway security fence will be installed on-site to provide protection between the freeway and the
project and to provide access to the space between the freeway and the sound wall adjacent to 1-5. The
allowable Freeway Security Fence height shall be up to and including 8 feet 6 inches.
Rorrontion Aron corurity Fepcing
The recreation area will be protected with a 6 -foot tall wrought iron security fence. The design of the fence
will be integrated into the site design to ensure it does not distract from the high-quality landscape design
and architecture of the project.
Private Front Yards
In some areas of the community, units have private front yards; private open space is delineated on the
architectural open space exhibit to mark the difference between personal private space belonging to a
specific unit (and maintained by that unit) and common open space accessible to the community
(maintained by the homeowner's association).
SiRnaize
Monumentation identifying the project will be sited within the project site boundary on the southwest
corner of Sixth Street and B Street, in compliance with the Tustin City Code. Signage may read "Vintage at
Old Town Tustin"; final signage content and design will be provided by the City prior to issuance of
building permits.
3.7. General Parking Requirements
A minimum of two (2) enclosed garage spaces shall be provided for each dwelling unit (280 covered
spaces). In addition, a minimum of 0.25 guest spaces per unit is required (35 uncovered guest spaces).
Table 2: Parking Requirements
Melrose Place 92 184 23
Veranda Court 48 96 12
Total 140 280 35
On-site, the project provides the required 280 covered parking spaces and exceeds the required guest
spaces by actually provided 69 guest spaces (34 more than required); overall, the project provides 349
parking spaces on-site. Based on these figures, the project is actually providing nearly two times the
required guest spaces to ensure the project adequately meets the needs of the community.
City of Tustin I Vintage Planned Community District Regulations
Parking area dimensions, locations and access shall conform to the City's design review criteria on file in
the Community Development Department. At a minimum, garages shall be 20'x20' inside clear dimension.
Each residential garage shall be designed and constructed to be electric vehicle charging station (EVCS)
ready. Open parking spaces shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 19 feet deep including any bumper
overhang. Up to a two (2) foot overhang may be permitted into a landscape planter or sidewalk area
provided the sidewalk has sufficient width to comply with accessibility requirements. In the guest parking
