REPORT OF ACTIONS TAKEN AT THE NOVEMBER 6, 2007, CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Action Agenda -Planning Commission 11-13-07 -Page 4 Director reported The City Council heard the appeal of the items decided upon by the Planning Commission, the Hampton Village 77-unit condominium project; the Council approved the project with modifications, such as additional setbacks, height restrictions, windows restricted from opening and to be opaque; the Zone Change was approved for that project alone; if the developer does not take advantage of that project within two years, the City has the ability to rezone to an R-4 designation; the Council chose to put safeguards in place to ensure that what was approved would be constructed and no higher density project built if the property were sold to another developer. The City adopted a Negative Declaration for the Tustin Commuter Rail Station parking structure for a future project; when the City has plans and specifications for that, the plans will be brought to the Commission as an informational item. The Council held the first reading of the International Building Code and related construction codes Ordinance, required to be adopted prior to the end of the year; the Planning Commission will continue to be the Board of Appeals. The project that the Commission took action on this evening would be subject to the dense and tall building Ordinance that the Council considered earlier this year; that is a County-wide Ordinance that the Sheriff, Tustin Police Department, and Orange County Fire Authority asked be adopted. COMMISSION CONCERNS Thompson Reported that he attended the Tustin Preservation Conservancy neighborhood mixer at Quinn's Restaurant a couple weeks ago, a very nice event.

Noted he is looking forward to the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast this Thursday. Remarked that he received information regarding fire construction on buildings that abutted the areas where a neighboring community had potential fire damage; his understanding was that embers have the ability to enter the venting of the roofs, that some newer construction adds venting to tiles in the roofs; and, asked if that is something that is being passed on to builders in Tustin.

Action Agenda -Planning Commission 11-13-07 -Page 6 Puckett continued Noted he just returned from three weeks in Australia and New Zealand; it was a great time, but three weeks is a long time to be away from Tustin; Tustin has a sister city in New Zealand, Mata Mata, which is two hours south of Auckland, an area where Lord of the Rings was filmed; he intended to get down there but was unable to do so. Indicated the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast is sponsored by the Tustin Community Foundation; 7:00 a.m. this Thursday at Marconi Museum, and will be a great event; Chuck Devore is the speaker; everyone who can attend should do so.
