BUILDING OUR FUTURE
HONORING OUR PAST
The property is improved with a residential structure in the tract ranch style and has
a National Register Historic Preservation (NRHP) Status Code: 5D1 per the Update
to the Tustin Historical Resources Survey (2003). The Survey notes that the
building may be significant as an example of the transition to tract ranch
architecture as the dominant form in Tustin.
On June 30, 2008, the City of Tustin Zoning Administrator adopted Zoning
Administrator Action No. 08-008, approving Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 08-011
to permit an accessory building to be used as a guest room at the subject property.
Approval of CUP 08-011 was to permit an existing garage/guest room; however,
the property owner has decided to construct a new garage/guest room due to the
economic infeasibility of renovating and maintaining the existing dilapidated
structure. The existing detached garage/guest room is not mentioned in the Tustin
Historical Resources Survey and does not appear to be a significant to the
property.
The proposed work involves the demolition of an existing detached two story
garage/guest room and replacement with a new detached two story garage/guest
room. The existing garage/guest home has a total square footage of 1,310 square
feet and the proposed garage/guest room would have a total square footage of
1,308 square feet. The structures would be similar in scale and massing with the
new structure to match the main dwelling unit in terms of materials and finishes.
In accordance with Ordinance No. 1001 which was adopted June 20, 1988, by the
Tustin City Council, the Community Development Director has the authority to
approve, approve with conditions, or deny Certificates of Appropriateness for
improvements requiring a City building permit for property located within a Cultural
Resource District.
The Community Development Department finds and determines as follows:
A. The proposed work conforms to the Municipal Code and any applicable
design standards in that the proposed project meets zoning code and
building code requirements.
B. The proposed work does not adversely affect the character of the District or
Designated Cultural Resources within the District in that: the proposed
construction will replace an existing structure with one of a similar

appearance and massing. The new structure will be an improvement to the
property by replacing the existing dilapidated structure.
C. The proposed work is harmonious with existing surroundings in that the
proposed building replaces an existing building in the same location and of a
similar design, scale, and massing. The structure would be located over one
hundred feet from the public right-of-way and screened by existing
landscaping.
The proposed work is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. Prior to the start of any work, the applicant shall obtain a building permit and
pay all applicable plan check and permit fees.
2. All new utilities shall be placed underground.
3. Prior to project final and occupancy, field inspection shall be conducted to
verify consistency with the approved set of plans.
