REQUEST:
AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT A NEW CARWASH
BUILDING FOR AN EXISTING AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP
LOCATED AT 45 AUTO CENTER DRIVE AND TO REDUCE THE
REQUIRED FRONT YARD BUILDING SETBACK FROM SIXTY
(60) FEET TO NINE (9) FEET SIX (6) INCHES.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission approve Design Review 04-012 and Variance 04-001 by
adopting Resolution No. 3916.
BACKGROUND
Tustin Lexus has been in operation at the Tustin Auto Center since 1989. The auto
dealership provides auto sales and service which includes a free carwash upon
Planning Commission Report

completion of the service. Currently all carwashes are provided by hand in the service
area at the non-designated carwash area. Tustin Lexus proposes a new carwash building
exclusively for the dealership use that would not be available for use by the general public.
The carwash building complies with all development standards of the East Tustin Auto
Center Planned Community regulations with the exception of the front yard setback
requirement. Consequently, a variance is requested to reduce the front yard setback from
sixty (60) feet to nine (9) feet six (6) inches.
Tustin City Code Section 9292 authorizes the Planning Commission to grant or deny a
Variance application. While Tustin City Code Section 9272 authorizes the Community
Development Director to consider Design Review applications, this application is being
deferred to the Planning Commission to be considered concurrently with the Variance
req uest.
Site and Surroundina Properties
The project site is located at 45 Auto Center Drive in the Tustin Auto Center (Attachment 1
- Location Map.) The property is zoned Planned Community Commercial (PC-C) and is
located within the East Tustin Auto Center Planned Community District in which
automotive sales, leasing, and services are permitted.
Project Description
Site Plan and Elevations
The site is approximately 3.05 acres and is located at the end of a cul-de-sac at Auto
Center Drive (Attachment 2 - Submitted Plans). The existing Tustin Lexus automotive
dealership site is currently improved with a showroom, sales area, parking structure,
and service building that is located towards the rear of the property. The proposed
carwash building would be located to the front of the existing service building towards
the end of the cul-de-sac. The carwash building measures nineteen (19) feet four (4)
inches by fifty-four (54) feet four (4) inches and eighteen (18) feet in height. The
building will be setback nine (9) feet six (6) inches from the street frontage instead of the
required sixty (60) feet for a service building.
The carwash building will be made of split face blocks with foam cornice at the top and
accent banding around the building. The building will be painted beige to match the
existing service building.
Access and ParkinQ
Access to the existing service area and proposed carwash would be through the
existing service reception area to the service gate and the drive aisle leading to the
parking structure and the carwash building. Condition 2.22 requires the applicant to
provide a minimum twenty (20) foot clear drive aisle for access and circulation. The
proposal also includes the removal of an existing driveway apron to accommodate the
Planning Commission Report
DR 04-012 and VAR 04-001
May 24, 2004
Page 3
carwash building, the filling in of an existing access gate with walls to match existing
perimeter walls, and the relocation of an existing transformer to an area immediately
behind the service gate. Condition 2.20 is included to require the applicant to continue
the five (5) foot street landscape area in front of the new wall.
Based upon the East Auto Center district's parking regulation for an auto dealership, a
minimum of eleven (11) off-street parking spaces per net acre would need to be
reserved for employee parking. The site is approximately 3.05 acres; therefore, a total
of 34 employee parking spaces would need to be provided. The site provides 41
employee parking spaces. Since the carwash will be utilized exclusively by Tustin
Lexus, no additional parking space is required for the proposed carwash building.
The East Tustin Auto Center district's parking regulation also requires each auto
dealership to provide a minimum of six (6) on-site customer parking spaces. The site
provides at total of thirteen (13) customer parking spaces.
Variance
Although the East Tustin Auto Center district regulations do not require setbacks from
interior property lines, a minimum ten (10) foot setback from the interior loop road for
sales or display buildings and sixty (60) feet for service buildings is required. The Tustin
Lexus site is unique since it is one of the two lots (Tustin Lexus and Tustin Cadillac)
within the auto center that are located within a cul-de-sac. Due to the need to provide a
turn around at the end of the street and the bulb shape of the cul-de-sac, the lot is not a
typical square shape. This makes it difficult to comply with setback requirements. If the
lot were square, the carwash building would have the required sixty (60) foot setback from
the front property line.
In addition, one of the reasons service buildings are required to be setback at sixty (60)
feet from the street property line is to minimize activities related to auto service such as
testing, repair, and maintenance from sales activities. In this case, the lot is configured in
such a manner that the eastern end of the lot (the cul-de-sac) serves as the rear of the
property where auto service activities take place, and the proposed carwash building will
be located behind an existing service wall and gate away from the street and sales
activity. Therefore, while the location of the proposed carwash building does not meet the
required street setback, it does accomplish the intent of the district regulation.
FINDINGS
To approve the application, the Planning Commission must make the following findings:
1.
That the proposed use is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that the
property is designated as "Planned Community Commercial/Business" which
provides for a variety of commercial, office, and industrial uses. The
proposed use is consistent with the East Tustin Auto Center Planned
Planning Commission Report
DR 04-012 and VAR 04-001
May 24, 2004
Page 4
Community District Regulations in that the establishment of auto sales,
leasing, and service uses are permitted by the district regulations.
2.
That the use of the proposed carwash building which is authorized by Section
V.A of the East Tustin Auto Center Planned Community District Regulations is
to be used exclusively for Tustin Lexus customers and not be available for the
general public.
3.
That pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and general
appearance of the proposed structure will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, the present or future development
therein, or the occupancy as a whole in that the proposed carwash building
location, height, massing, and scale, and the proposed architectural design
and site amenities are consistent with the existing auto sales and service
buildings of the Tustin Lexus dealership. In addition, the use of split face
blocks, foam cornice at the parapet, and beige building color will match the
existing service building on the same property.
4.
That the property is located on a cul-de-sac and due to the need to provide a
turn around at the end of the street and the bulb shape of the cul-de-sac, the lot
is not a typical square shape. This makes it difficult to comply with setback
requirements. The strict application of the applicable development standards,
particularly the front setback requirement, would deprive the property of the
ability to maximize development potential, which is a privilege enjoyed by
other properties within the same zoning district. If the lot were square, the
carwash building would have the required sixty (60) foot setback from the front
property line. In addition, the granting of this variance would not constitute a
special privilege that is inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the
East Tustin Auto Center Planned Community District in that the shape of the lot
creates a hardship that is not present on the majority of other properties within
the same zoning district.
5.
That although the proposed carwash building location will be located closer
than the required sixty (60) feet to the street frontage, the lot is configured
and developed in such a manner that the eastern end of the lot (the cul-de-
sac) serves as the rear of the property where auto service activities take
place. Locating the proposed carwash building in this area would accomplish
the intent of building setbacks for the East Auto Center planned community
district, which is to locate service-related activities away from street frontage
where sales activities occur.

RESOLUTION NO. 3916
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING DESIGN
REVIEW 04-012 AND VARIANCE 04-001 TO
CONSTRUCT A NEW CARWASH BUILDING AND
TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD
SETBACK OF A PROPOSED CARWASH BUILDING
FROM SIXTY (60) FEET TO NINE (9) FEET SIX (6)
INCHES AT THE EXISTING AUTOMOTIVE
DEALERSHIP (TUSTIN LEXUS) LOCATED AT 45
AUTO CENTER DRIVE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
That a proper application for Design Review 04-012 and V~riance
04-001 was filed by Dennis Muth on behalf of Tustin Lexus to
construct a new 1,089 square foot carwash building and to reduce
the required front yard of the proposed carwash building setback
from sixty (60) feet to nine (9) feet six (6) inches at the existing
automotive dealership (Tustin Lexus) located at 45 Auto Center
Drive.
B.
That the proposed use is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in
that the property is designated as "Planned Community
Commercial/Business" which provides for a variety of commerc;ial,
office, and industrial uses. In addition, the project has been
reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-Element of the City
of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent
with the Air Quality Sub-Element.
C.
That the proposed use is consistent with the East Tustin Auto
Center Planned Community District Regulations in that the
establishment of auto sales, leasing, and service uses are
permitted by the district regulations.
D.
That the Tustin City Code Section 9292 authorizes the Planning
Commission to grant or deny a Variance application and while Tustin
City Code Section 9272 authorizes the Community Development
Director to consider Design Review applications, this application is
being deferred to the Planning Commission to be considered
concurrently with the Variance request.
Resolution No. 3916
Page 2
E.
That the Planning Commission duly called, noticed, and held a
public hearing on the project on May 24, 2004.
F.
That pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin City Code, the
Planning Commission finds that the location, size, architectural
features, and general appearance of the proposed structure will not
impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the
present or future development therein, or the occupancy as a
whole in that the proposed carwash building location, height,
massing, and scale, and the proposed architectural design and site
amenities are consistent with the existing auto sales and service
buildings of the Tustin Lexus dealership. In addition, the use of
split face blocks, foam cornice at the parapet, and beige building
color will match the existing service building on the same property.
In making such findings, the Commission has considered at least
the following items:
1. Height, bulk, and area of buildings;
2. Setbacks and site planning;
3. Exterior materials and colors;
4. Landscaping, parking area, and traffic circulation;
5. Location and appearance of equipment located outside an
enclosed structure;
6. Location and method of refuse storage;
7. Physical relationship of proposed structure to existing structures
on the same property;
8. Appearance and design relationship of proposed structure to
existing structures and possible future structures in the vicinity
and public thoroughfares; and,
9. Development guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City
Council.
G.
That the use of the proposed carwash building which is authorized
by Section V.A of the East Tustin Auto Center Planned Community
District Regulations is to be used exclusively for Tustin Lexus
customers and not be available for general public.
H.
That the property is located on a cul-de-sac and due to the need to
provide a turn around at the end of the street and the bulb shape of
the cul-de-sac, the lot is not a typical square shape. This makes it
difficult to comply with setback requirements. The strict application
of the applicable development standards, particularly the front
setback requirement, would deprive the property of the ability to
Resolution No. 3916
Page 3
maximize development potential, which is a privilege enjoyed by
other properties within the same zoning district. If the lot were
square, the carwash building would have the required sixty (60) foot
setback from the front property line. In addition, the granting of this
variance would not constitute a special privilege that is inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties in the East Tustin Auto Center
Planned Community District in that the shape of the lot creates a
hardship that is not present on the majority of other properties within
the same zoning district.
I.
That although the proposed carwash building location will be
located closer than the required sixty (60) feet to the street
frontage, the lot is configured and developed in such a manner that
the eastern end of the lot (the cul-de-sac) serves as the rear of the
property where auto service activities take place. Locating the
proposed carwash building in this area would accomplish the intent
of building setbacks for the East Auto Center planned community
district, which is to locate service-related activities away from street
frontage where sales activities occur.
J.
This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15303,
.Class 3 of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations
(Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act).
II.
The Planning Commission hereby approves Design Review 04-012 and
Variance 04-001 to construct a new 1,089 square foot carwash building
and to reduce the required front yard of the proposed carwash building
setback from sixty (60) feet to nine (9) feet six (6) inches for the existing
automotive dealership (Tustin Lexus) located at 45 Auto Center Drive,
subject to conditions contained in Exhibit A attached hereto.
