THIS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO
SECTION 15332, CLASS 32 OF THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT A 14,690 SQUARE FOOT
RETAIL CENTER
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission approve Design Review 03-016 by adopting Resolution
No. 3905.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Design Review application to construct a new
retail center at 137 W. First Street that would include three separate buildings and an
access from First Street. The site is currently vacant and is located within the "Commercial
Primary" land use designation of the First Street Specific Plan. Since the proposed retail
center is consistent with the primary uses of Commercial land use designation of the First
Street Specific Plan (FSSP), development of the site is subject to approval of a design
review by the Community Development Director in accordance with Section II1-1 of the
Specific Plan. However, this authority has been deferred to the Planning Commission. In
addi:tion, since the project site is adjacent to residential uses, a courtesy notice has been
mailed to the residents and property owners within 300 feet of the project site.

Site and Surrounding Properties
The project site is a vacant lot approximately 1.17 acres in size and is located at 137 W.
First Street, which is on the north side of First Street on the block between Prospect
Avenue and North C Street (Attachment A - Location Map). The site is bounded by
residential uses to the north, northeast and northwest and commercial uses to the east,
west and south. The site was previously occupied by Mullin Lumber Company for many
years and has been vacant since 1992.
Project Description
The project site is a rectangular shaped lot 1.174 acres in area, 280 feet deep with a 181
foot frontage on First Street. Three separate single-story buildings are proposed: a 8,684
square foot building situated perpendicular to First Street with storefronts facing the
parking area on the east, a 2,550 square foot building located approximately 150 feet from
First Street, and a 3,456 square foot building with a ten (10) foot setback from First Street.
Two of the buildings are connected with a pedestrian walkway and a brick faCade that
would contain the retail center sign facing First Street. In accordance with the First Street
Specific Plan Design Guidelines, two of the buildings are located along First Street to
encourage pedestrian circulation and setback more than sixty (60) feet from the rear
property line to be less intrusive to residential uses to the north. The project site is
bounded by Lockwood Park Place (a local residential street) on the north; however, no
access would be provided from the residential areas. The only access to the site is
provided from First Street (Attachment B - Submitted Plans). A trash enclosure is
proposed at the easterly portion of the parking area, more than eighty-five (85) feet from
nearest residential properties.
Parking
The site includes seventy-three (73) parking spaces to accommodate a variety of retail
and service uses with the exception of restaurants with seating and medical uses. Twenty-
two (22) of the parking spaces or a maximum of thirty (30) percent of the spaces are
compact stalls in accordance with Section Ill(E)(2) of FSSP. The compact stalls are mainly
at the rear of the site where they would be mostly used for employee parking. An adequate
turnaround space for emergency vehicles has been provided on-site. Since no excess
parking spaces are provided, Condition 5.2 is included to allow restaurant and medical
office uses only upon approval of the Community Development and Public Works
Department with review and submittal of a parking demand analysis.
Architecture
The three buildings are single story, eighteen (18) feet in height, and designed with brick
face, brick cornice, cast stone medallions that are compatible with the historic buildings of
Main Street and El Camino Real. The store fronts are accented with canvas awnings and
decorative lighting (Attachment B - Submitted Plans). As proposed, the building mass

and scale and materials and colors would result in a high quality design. The project
would also provide an attractive terminus for El Camino Real as noted in the "Visions of
Old Town" (R/UDAT), which encourages major anchor projects at the north and south end
of El Camino Real that incorporate the landscaping and architectural theme along El
Camino Real and reflect a small-town character. Condition 3.1 is included to require that
the quality of materials and colors are consistent with the submitted color/material board
and elevation drawings.
The site is currently separated by a seven (7) foot block wall from residential uses. The
applicant is proposing to enhance the appearance of the block wall with a soldier course
brick cap and brick pilasters on the interior of the site and along the east and west sides
where visible from the public right-of-way. No storefronts are proposed along the east and
west elevations. To enhance the blank wall appearance on the east and west elevations,
the brick pilasters are also included on the sides of the building with a brick geometric
pattern (Attachment B - Submitted Plans).
Landscaping
The project site in general would include eight (8) 24-inch box Crape Myrtles within the
parking area, two of which would be located at the main entrance to the project, twenty-
seven (27), 15-gallon Canary Island Pines along the east, north, and south of the
property, and a 36-inch box Jacaranda as an accent tree (Attachment B - Submitted
Plans). Development of the site would also result in replacing two (2) of the existing Ficus
trees along the First Street right-of-way with Trumpet trees. Condition 4.2 is included to
require installation of landscape areas in accordance with the submitted plans and on-
going maintenance and replacement of the landscaped areas as necessary.
Lighting
The parking area is proposed to include pole lights of ten (10) feet in height increasing in
height to fifteen (15) feet in height as they move away from residential uses to the north.
Based on the submitted photometric plan, no light spillage to adjacent residential
properties is expected (Attachment B - Submitted Plans). Condition 2.2 is included to
ensure that the final lighting design is in accordance with the minimum requirements of the
Tustin Security Ordinance and fully contained on-site with no spillage or visibility from
adjacent residential properties.
ANALYSIS
In determining whether to approve the project, the Planning Commission would need to
determine that the location, size, architectural features, and general appearance of the
project is compatible with the surrounding buildings and will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area. A decision to approve this request may be
supported by the following findings:
1) In accordance with Urban Design Policies 1 through 7 of the First Street Specific
Plan Design Guidelines, the project is a retail center that would promote and

encourage orderly and cohesive growth on First Street, enhance the environment
along First Street, be an appropriate scale in relation to other developments
along First Street, and provide a pedestrian orientation. The single-stoW
architectural style of the building is a similar height, mass, and scale to other
buildings along First Street and will use high quality materials, colors, and details
in a style that would complement Old Town Tustin. The project would promote
pedestrian circulation by locating the buildings and storefronts along First Street
while providing convenient vehicular access and parking.
2)
The project is consistent with the suggestions of the "Visions of Old Town"
(R/UDAT) in that the proposed retail center would establish desirable retail uses
on an anchor site at the terminus of El Camino Real in one-stow buildings with
face brick, brick cornices, and accent glazed brick that complement the scale,
massing and design of Old Town Tustin.
3)
The site design provides for adequate on-site circulation for patrons and
emergency vehicles; egress and ingress to the site is provided from First Street
and does not require access from the residential road to the north of the site.
4) The placement of the buildings at the front of the lot and use of ten and fifteen
foot tall lighting standards would minimize noise and lighting on adjacent
residential uses.
5) As conditioned, the project would be required to dedicate or grant easements for
facilities necessary to serve the project such as fire protection access and
disabled access.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW 03-016 AUTHORIZING SITE AND
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 14,690 SQUARE
FOOT RETAIL CENTER AT 137 W. FIRST STREET
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
Ao
That a proper application for Design Review 03-016 was filed by Forum
Capital LLC (John Coelho) requesting authorization to construct a
14,690 square foot retail center, at 137 W. First Street, also known as
(APN 401-532-08).
That the proposed retail uses are consistent with the Tustin General
Plan in that the property is designated as "Planned Community
Commercial" which provides for the establishment of commercial
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.
The project is located within the First Street Specific Plan (FSSP)
zoning district, Commercial as Primary land use designation where
retail and service uses are permitted.
That design review within First Street Specific Plan is subject to review
and approval of the Community Development Department, which has
been deferred to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission
considered Design Review 03-016 on January 12, 2004, in a public
meeting.
Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code, the Planning
Commission finds that 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, or the occupancy as a whole. In making
such findings, the Commission has considered at least the following
items:

existing structures and possible future structures in the
neighborhood and public thoroughfares;
Proposed signage; and,
Development guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City
Council.
In accordance with Urban Design Policies 1 through 7 of the First
Street Specific Plan Design Guidelines, the project is a retail center
that would promote and encourage orderly and cohesive growth on
First Street, enhance the environment along First Street, be an
appropriate scale in relation to other developments along First Street,
and provide a pedestrian orientation. The single-stow architectural
style of the building is a similar height, mass, and scale to other
buildings along First Street and will use high quality materials, colors,

project would promote pedestrian circulation by locating the buildings
and storefronts along First Street while providing convenient vehicular
