authorization to establish and operate a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio located
within an existing 2,124 square-foot tenant space located at 1542 Edinger
Avenue, Suite F, in the Tustin Business Park.

designation of Industrial (1) which provide a variety of industrial and
commercial service uses including schools for professional, instructional,
motivational, vocational and/or seminar uses with approval of a CUP. The
project is consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin
General Plan.
C. That in accordance with Tustin City Code Section 9299b3(f), the Zoning
Administrator is authorized to consider minor conditional use permits for
existing development where there would be no change of primary use,
there would be no expansion of floor area, and the request would not alter
the original intent of the project or site.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2017-01 on
March 7, 2017, by the Zoning Administrator.
E. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio will 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 nor
be a detriment 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 following findings:
1) The Industrial (M) District allows industrial uses such as
manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, laboratories, and other
light industrial uses. Uses such as offices and other support
commercial uses, including instructional schools, are conditionally
permitted subject to the approval of a CUP. The proposed Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu studio is similar to an instructional school in that the
proposed use operates in the same manner as other instructional
uses whereby each class is taught by an instructor and multiple
