The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption can be authorized in conjunction
with a "bona fide" restaurant use in conformance with the City's Alcoholic Beverage Sales
Establishment Guidelines as amended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the
City Council on May 21, 2001 and TCC Section 9271 dd. Pursuant to the Guidelines, a
restaurant use is defined as: "A retail establishment that sells food and beverages

percent of the premises' seating shall be designed and used for food consumption. Also,
the gross annual sales of food must exceed the sale of alcohol.

As proposed, 100 percent of the premises' seating area would be used for food
consumption and no bar area is proposed. The application indicates that approximately
80 percent of sales are estimated to be from food and 20 percent from alcoholic
beverages. The applicant proposes to offer a full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Proposed Condition 2.3 of ZAA No. 16-016 requires food to be prepared on the premises
and available during all hours of operation.
Outdoor Restaurant Seating
Outdoor seating is proposed to be located within a portion of the existing front setback

width from the proposed outdoor seating barrier to the curb is approximately-eight (8) feet
in width, exceeding minimum walkway requirements. The proposed outdoor seating area
includes six (6) tables and twenty-one (21) seats (Figure 3). The entire proposed
outdoor seating area would be located in front of the building (Attachment C). A
removable wrought iron barrier is proposed at the boundary of the outdoor seating area.
Railing is proposed to be black in color and shall match the color and decorative
wrought iron material utilized elsewhere on the building elevation. Prior to permit
issuance, the applicant would enter into an Outdoor Restaurant Seating Area
'Revocable License Agreement with the City and any barrier will need to be removed
upon request by the City.
Additionally, the applicant proposes an awning to be located within a portion of the
existing front setback area and would extend approximately eight (8) feet into the public
right-of-way. The awning is proposed to be green in color and shall match the color and
material of decorative awnings utilized elsewhere on the building. elevations. Prior to
permit issuance, the applicant would enter into a Projecting Awning Revocable License
Agreement with the City. No signage is permitted upon the proposed awning. ZAA 16-

Hours of Operation
The applicant proposes hours of operation for the interior restaurant and outdoor
restaurant seating area to include: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, with
the restaurant closed on Mondays. These hours are consistent with the characteristics of
other restaurants in the vicinity and would be consistent with outdoor restaurant seating
requirements detailed in TCC Section 9277. Hours of sales of alcoholic beverages shall
be limited to the hours when food is available. Operation of an outdoor restaurant seating
area shall be permitted only at such times as the main restaurant use is open.
PARKING
On April 3, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1416 providing an additional
parking exception for the commercial portion of the CR District. This Ordinance provided
an exception to the on-site parking requirements by allowing an applicant to pay a fee to
satisfy the number of required parking spaces not provided on-site. TCC Section
9352J3(d)(3)(d) implements the aforementioned parking exception for on-site parking
requirements for development proposed within both the C2 District and the Old Town
Commercial General Plan land use designation of the commercial portion of Old Town
Tustin. All, or a portion of, the required number of on-site parking spaces may be satisfied
through the payment of a fee, in an amount determined by Fee Resolution of the City
Council, upon a determination of the Planning Commission that the proposed project
meets specific findings. Section 3.07 of the Old Town Parking Agreement allows for a
written amendment of the agreement when a written amendment is signed by the property
owner and the authorized representative of the City, subject to any requisite by the City
Council.

On June 13, 2012, the City of Tustin entered into an agreement with Guillermo A. Del Rio
Farias and t-izet Marie Orozco, owners of the property located at 195 EI Camino Real, for
the use of ten (10) parking spaces. These off-site parking spaces are generally located
within the Old Town commercial area, as available for the Parking Exception, and were
approved in conjunction with Design Review 2011-006.
On July 22, 2015, the property owner requested to amend the existing Parking Exception
Agreement to provide additional parking spaces to accommodate a yoga studio tenant
resulting in a total of nineteen (19) required parking spaces for the building and a total of
seventeen (17) off-site parking spaces satisfied through the Old Town Parking Exception
Agreement.
The property currently provides two (2) parking spaces on-site, including one (1) ADA
accessible parking space; all other required parking stalls are provided through an
existing Old Town Parking Exception Agreement. Since no parking spaces are available
to accommodate the restaurant use and outdoor restaurant seating area, the applicant
has agreed to enter into a Parking Program agreement in order to accommodate
required parking for the square footage of the restaurant and outdoor seating area. The
current cost is $60 per space, per year, calculated at one (1) space per 100 square feet.
Based upon the City's current Parking Ordinance, a total of twenty-four (24) off-site
parking spaces are required for the property, including the intended use of a restaurant
with outdoor seating area.
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. Furthermore, the
City has prepared the Old Town Parking Study that concluded that there is a significant
amount of available parking in the area. Therefore, the recommendation to allow the
modification of the existing Old Town Parking Exception Agreement, to include a total of
twenty-four (24) parking stalls for the subject property, is appropriate for this proposal.
FINDINGS
In determining whether to approve the CUP for the on-site alcoholic beverage sales and
an exception to the required parking, the Planning Commission must determine whether
or not the proposed use will 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; and that the project meets the required
findings for a parking exception as identified in Section 9352J3(d)(3)(d) of the TCC. In
determining whether to approve the Design Review for outdoor seating, the Planning
Commission must determine whether it can be found that the location, size, architectural
features, and general appearance of the proposal will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, the present or future development therein, or the

with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines as amended by the

in conjunction with a restaurant use where food will be served at all times when

6. The outdoor restaurant seating area is included in the parking analysis for the
restaurant use, which can be accommodated by the Old Town 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 requested restaurant hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tuesday
through Sunday for the interior seating and 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Tuesday
through Sunday for the outdoor seating are consistent with the characteristics of
restaurant uses and the 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 commercial buildings
providing the same type of use as proposed within the immediate vicinity of the
