A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 03-
001 AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE
DESIGNATION FROM PUBLIC/INSTITUTIONAL TO HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR THE 3.23 ACRE PARCEL
SITE LOCATED AT 14552 NEWPORT AVENUE
The City Council does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
That a proper application has been filed for General Plan Amendment 03-
001 to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation from
Public/Institutional to High Density Residential for the site located at 14552
Newport Avenue and known as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 84-1029.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application
on November 10, 2003, by the Planning Commission and was
recommended for approval.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application
on December 1, 2003, by the City Council.
The proposed amendment to the City's General Plan Land Use
Designation Map is in the best interest of the public in that:
1)
The proposed general plan amendment is consistent with Zone
Change 03-001, if approved by the City Council.
2)
Amending the existing land use designation to High Density
Residential provides an opportunity to create additional affordable
housing units to accommodate Tustin's share of regional housing
needs identified by Southern California Association Government
(SCAG).
3)
The proposed High Density Residential land use designation is
compatible with the character and uses of adjacent districts and
consistent with existing High Density Residential uses located to
the east of the site.
4)
The proposed general plan amendment would accommodate the
development of a for-sale condominium project and provide
housing ownership opportunities in an area that is concentrated
with rental housing.
5)
The proposed general plan amendment is compatible with and
implements the objectives, policies, and goals of the General Plan
as follows:
(1)
Land Use Policy 1.1: The project is accessible through the
City's current street system and the project could be
supported with existing transportation and public facilities.
(2)
Land Use Policy 1.5: The project would provide a
complementary infill for-sale residential development in an
area that is concentrated with rental housing.
(3)
Land Use Policy 2.2: With the approval of Zone Change 03-
001, the land use designation of a High Density Residential
Resolution No. 03-131
Page 1 of 4
will be consistent with the zoning designation of Multiple
Family Residential (R-3).
(4)
Housing Goal 1: The project will be for for-sale housing to
provide ownership opportunities.
(5)
Housing Policy 1.1: The site is identified by the General Plan
as an underutilized land suitable for housing development
where potential affordable housing units could be created,
and the project includes ten (10) affordable housing units to
accommodate the City's share of regional housing needs
identified by SCAG.
(6)
Housing Policy 1.12: The project includes the use of tax
increment housing set aside funds through the execution of a
Housing Assistance Agreement by and between the Tustin
Community Redevelopment Agency and the site developer
(The Olson Company) to assist in the creation of ten (10)
affordable units for a period of not less than forty-five (45)
years.
A Final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been adopted by Resolution
No. 03-130 for this general plan map amendment and related entitlements
in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and the City Council finds, on the basis of the whole record
before it (including the initial study and any comments received), that there
is no substantial evidence that the general plan amendment will have a
significant effect on the environment and that the negative declaration
reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis.
II. The City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment 03-001 amending the
General Plan Land Use Designation of the property located at 14552 Newport Avenue
from "Public/Institutional" to "High Density Residential," as identified in Exhibit A attached
hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Tustin, at a regular
