STAFF CONCERNS
REPORT OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE JANUARY 15 AND
FEBRUARY 5,2007, CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Director reported The City Council pulled the Planning Commission Action Agenda
for review of the 2006 projects, which staff provided in a
PowerPoint presentation at the following City Council meeting.
The City Council approved staff's draft letter to the City of Santa
Ana with comments regarding the Mixed Use Overlay Zone project,
and the letter was mailed to Santa Ana.
The City Council provided staff with some general direction
regarding the proposed Building Industry Association directional
sign program; staff will be bringing a master sign program to the
Planning Commission; any questions the Planning Commission
may have should be addressed at that time.
Floyd Asked what the issue was concerning the water meters.
Director Responded that a contract was approved for water meter reading
and customer service; there was a question whether or not there
was a way to upgrade that service, but the cost was prohibitive.
COMMISSION CONCERNS
Kozak Apologized for missing the January meeting.
Noted that he accessed the agenda packet on the City's website.
Indicated that he found the "2006 Year in Review" very impressive
with the vast number of projects in all areas of development,
residential, commercial, and industrial; however, the number of
graffiti removal cases is an ongoing concern.
Stated he noticed graffiti on the back of the garage that can be
seen from the Main Street bridge passing over the SR-55 freeway;
there is an even better view from the flyover from the southbound
SR-55 to the southbound 1-5; the graffiti appears to be gang-
related. .
Referred to the County's proposed raised median on Red Hill north
of Irvine; stated he has information on that proposal that he would
be willing to share with Public Works and Com~unity Development;
and, questioned the compatibility of that proposal with older and
future medians along Irvine Boulevard and the new work that has
been done and will continue to be done on Red Hill further south.

Kozak continued Thanked staff for their work on the agenda items this evening.
Puckett Indicated he attended the 2nd Annual Mayor's Inaugural Dinner
sponsored by the Tustin Community Foundation, a phenomenal
event.
Pointed out the new banner hanging in the Council Chamber
referring to the City's recognition of the City's 80th birthday and the
75 years of service by the Tustin Chamber of Commerce, Tustin
Area Man and Woman of the Year, and Tustin Tiller Days,
respectively; this is a big year in Tustin's history, and everyone
should keep an eye out for the special events.
Wished everyone Happy Valentine's Day.
Floyd Indicated he also enjoyed the Mayor's dinner; and, offered kudos to
the Foundation on a fantastic job coordinating this event.
Thanked staff for their presentations.
Commented that perhaps Tustin will need to change in order to
keep up with the times regarding new housing products or make a
policy decision to preserve the character of the Overlay District
using the current guidelines.
8:35 p.m. ADJOURNMENT
The next regular meeting of the Planning Commission will be held
February 26, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chamber at
