CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2017-01
1542 EDINGER AVENUE, SUITE F
r
The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
i. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2017-01 was
filed by Ernesto Roco on behalf of Carlson Gracie Irvine, LLC., requesting
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. -
B. That the property is zoned Industrial (M) and a General Plan land use
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

students and that the traffic and parking needs are similar with such
use.
2) The proposed Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio is located in a large multi-
tenant industrial office complex and potential conflicts between the
use and other tenants is not anticipated because adequate parking
is provided, and the conditions to be imposed. As conditioned, the
number of occupants, types of activities and hours of operation
would be compatible with the neighboring light industrial and office
uses, and the applicant would be required to notify the City of any
changes to the use of the facility.
3) As conditioned, no noise impacts are anticipated in that all training
activities shall be conducted entirely within the building and would
be required to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance.
4) As conditioned, CUP 2017-01 may be reviewed by the Community
Development Director, if necessary, to ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses. If the use is not operated in accordance with
CUP 2017-01 is found to be a nuisance or negative impacts are
affecting the surrounding uses, the Community Development
Director would have the authority to impose additional conditions to
eliminate the nuisance or negative impacts or may initiate
proceedings to revoke the CUP.
5) The proposed use would not have any aesthetic impacts to the
area since no exterior modifications are proposed.
6) The City's Public Works Department, Police Department and
Building Division have reviewed and support the development of
the proposed project, as conditioned.
7) The applicant understands that the Industrial (M), zoning of the
property allows uses such as manufacturing, assembly,
warehousing, laboratories, and other light industrial uses and does
not object to these more intensive uses operating, in close proximity
to the training facility
F. That this project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301, (Class
1 — Existing Facilities) of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of
Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act) in
that the project site is an existing facility and involves no expansion of an
existing industrial office center.
II. The Zoning Administrator hereby adopts Zoning Administrator Action No. 17-004
approving CUP 2017-01 authorizing the establishment and operation of a
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio located within an existing 2,124 square-foot tenant
