Agenda Item 1

SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE 06-002, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 17096
BACKGROUND
The project is the proposed redevelopment of a 60-unit apartment complex on a 4.1-
acre (net area) site with 77 condominium units referred to as "Hampton Village." The
project site is located within the Suburban Residential (R-4) zoning district at 1972
Mitchell Avenue and 14251-14351 Browning Avenue at the southwest corner of Mitchell
Avenue and Browning Avenue (APN 432-342-30).
On August 28, 2007, and September 11, 2007, the Planning Commission conducted
public hearings. Numerous residents of the neighboring properties spoke in opposition
to the project at both meetings. On September 11, 2007, the Planning Commission, with
a three to one vote, denied the project and directed staff to prepare resolutions of the
project related to denial of Conditional Use Permit 06-024 and Design Review 06-020
and recommending denial of Zone Change 06-002 and Tentative Tract Map 17296, for
consideration by the Commission at the September 25, 2007, meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant has identified his intention to appeal Planning Commission's decision and
desire to take all the actions and requests before the City Council at one meeting.
Since the appeal process requires public noticing per Tustin City Code Section 9294,
staff recommends that this project be continued to the first practical City Council
meeting. This date will be determined upon receipt of an appeal. Adequate public notice
could likely be provided for the October 16, 2007, or November 6, 2007 meeting.
