II ld, 15i 17 18 2O 21 22 23 2,t 28 RESOLUTION NO. 92-98 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 92- 025, AUTHORIZING THE PLACEMENT OF AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE USED AS GUEST ROOMS ON A R-1 LOT LOCATED AT 440 WEST MAIN STREET The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The city Council finds and determines as follows: That a proper application, Conditional Use Permit 92-025 has been filed by Donald Le Jeune requesting authorization to place an accessory structure used as guest rooms on an R-1 lot located at 440 West Main Street. A public hearing was duly called, noticed and held for said application on July 27, 1992. The Planning Commission authorized the project by approving Resolution No. 3063 with conditions. Ce That a proper appeal of Conditional Use Permit 92- 025 has been filed by Bill Collins requesting that the city Council reverse the Planning Commission's approval of a request to place an accessory building used as guest rooms on an R-1 lot located at 440 West Main Street. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held for said appeal on August 17, 1992. That the City Council has reviewed the request for an accessory structure used as guest rooms and finds that the establishment of the use applied for would 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 of such proposed use, as evidenced by the following findings: The subject historic Victorian cottage has been moved from its original location and is threatened by demolition. Tustin's Cultural Resources District was developing during the 1890's when the house was constructed in a similar residential neighborhood in Orange. The architecture of the Cultural Resources District is compatible with the Victorian cottage since there are several Victorian structures in the district, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19~ 22. Resolution No. 92-98 Page 2 and since there are many modest, single story structures from the same time period as the Victorian structure. There will not be excessive pedestrian or vehicular traffic associated with the project. The proposed ten foot side yard setback and proposed 52 foot front yard setback for the project is consistent with most properties in the District and exceeds the City's required development standards for a guest room. Adequate light and air are maintained for adjacent properties. The proposed placement of the structure on the lot will preserve existing trees on the site. The purpose of the Cultural Resources District is to preserve structures which reflect elements of the City's architectural heritage. The proposed accessory structure, a Victorian cottage with Queen Anne detailihg, does reflect the architecture in the neighborhood, as there are several Queen Anne style structures within the neighborhood of the project. The subject structure is compatible with the structures in the neighborhood as the cottage is a single story, modest building which is typical of the residential development in Tustin. Historically, many lots in the subject neighborhood have had guest rooms and more than one dwelling structure located on them, and the city has continued to allow the construction of second dwellings in the neighborhood where certain minimum standards are met. The proposed accessory structure would be used for a home occupation which is permitted by the Tustin City Code. The proposed project would meet the development standards for an accessory structure used as guest rooms thereby ensuring compatibility with surrounding development, ] 13. 14 15 1 ¢; 17 18 1.9 20 9.1 22 9-3 24. ~7 Resolution No. 92-98 Page 3 Fe Ge excepting the height requirement. A variance would be required to permit the project to exceed the maximum height requirement or the structure would be limited to 20 feet. That the establishment of the use applied for will not be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property, nor to the general welfare of the city of Tustin, as evidenced by the findings stated in Section E. The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3). II. The City Council hereby upholds the Planning Commission's approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 92-025 authorizing the request to permit the placement of an accessory structure used as guest rooms on a R-1 lot, located at 440 West Main Street, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit A of Planning Commission Resolution No. 3063, attached thereto and incorporated herein by reference; and as herein modified to read as follows: A.
