Planning Commission Report
CUP 97-005- Extension
April 24',2000
Page 2
BACKGROUND
CUP 97-005 and DR 97-009 were requests to demolish an existing service station and
carwash and construct a new service station, carwash, and 5,500 square foot retail
building at the northwest comer of Newport Avenue and Main Street (Attachment A -
= Location Map). On November,10, 1997, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
No. 3534 conditionally. approving CUP 97-005 and DR 97-009 (Attachment B). On
December 1, 1997 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-115 upholding the
Planning Commission's approval of the project, and setting an expiration date for the
project of December 1, 1999. On October 11, 1999, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. 3695 (Attachment C) which extended the expiration date for CUP 97-005
and DR 97-009 from December 1, 1999 to June 1, 2000. Condition 1.1 of Resolution No.
3695 states:
"The subject project approval shall become null and void unless permits for the
proposed project are issued and substantial construction is underway by June 1,
2000."
DISCUSSION
On March 16, 2000, the applicant filed a request (see Attachment D) to extend the
expiration of the project approval by eighteen (18) months, from June 1, 2000 to
December 1, 2001.
Building Permit Activity
On March 29, 1999, 'the applicant initiated the plancheck process by submitting plans for
demolition permits. These would allow for the demolition of the existing carwash tunnel,
fuel/vacuum canopies and retail building. On April 8, 1999, the Building, Planning and
Engineering Divisions approved the proposed demolition plans. On April 9, 1999, the
applicant was notified that.the plans were approved and that permits could be issued.
However, the applicant did not obtain permits until June 17, 1999. On August 10, 1999,
the applicant obtained permits to remove the existing underground storage tanks, and the
removal work was completed shortly thereafter. However, no activity has occurred in
conjunction with the demolition permits and the permits.have subsequently lapsed.
1
To date;the applicant has not obtained building permits to construct the project. On June
2, 1999, the applicant entered into plancheck for the construction of the new carwash,
service station and retail building, indicating that construction was to begin immediately.
However, the plans were incomplete and lacked grading, mechanical, electrical and
plumbing plans. The applicant has submitted and resubmitted construction plans to the
Building Division five (5) separate times, with the most recent being submitted to the City
on January 26, 2000, and returned with corrections on February 2, 2000. Many of the
corrections noted by both the Building and Planning Divisions are corrections that date
back to the original plancheck submittal.
Planning Commission Report
CUP 97-005- Extension
April 24,2000
Page 3
In the request for an extension, the applicant has also cited delays in the construction of
the approved expansion to the Vons supermarket adjacent to the subject property and the
need to coordinate site improvements between the two projects. However, the Vons
plancheck has been approved and the, property owner has indicated that.-Vons will obtain
1 building permits shortly. Vons holds an access easement for an alley over a small portion
+, of the subject property, and their approved expansion will necessitate improvements to the
alley and easement area. These improvements will include removal of a low retaining wall
and grading on the two parcels to level the ground. However, given that the easement has
been granted to Vons, they can enter the site as necessary to construct improvements in
the event that the carwash project does not move forward.
Soil Contamination
In his request for an extension, the applicant has cited the need to delay the construction
of the project to accommodate remediation "of groundwater contamination on the project
site. According to documents provided by the applicant and the Orange County Health
Care Agency (OCHCA), a formal site assessment report was submitted to OCHCA on
February 28, 2000 (see Executive Summary - Attachment E). On March 24, 2000, Mr.
Anthony Martinez of.00HCA responded to that, assessment (Attachment F), citing the
need for quarterly groundwater monitoring, the installation of additional monitoring wells on
the site, and preparation of a corrective action plan to determine potential alternatives for
remediation of shallow groundwater contamination. However, on March 27, 2000 staff
received correspondence from Mr. Anthony Martinez regarding this issue (Attachment G).
In his correspondence, Mr. Martinez notes that remediation of the contamination would
only result_in minor impacts to the proposed development on site. Additionally, Mr.
Martinez states that the OCHCA would not object to the City issuing building permits for
the development.
Code Enforcement Issues
The project site has a history of code violations, rangingi from non-permitted signage to
building and property maintenance issues dating back to January 6, 1993. As part of the
approval of the previous six-month extension, Condition'No. 1.3 required the applicant to
abate code violations identified in 'correspondence dated September 30, 1999, or face
court proceedings. Those violations include:
• Cracked, peeling and chalky paint surfaces on the main building, carwash tunnel
and pump canopy;
• Two non-conforming, painted plywood wall signs located at the carwash tunnel
ends; and,
• Deteriorated asphalt'throughout the parking lot with loose gravel and significant
. potholes.
Planning Commission Report
CUP 97-005- Extension
April 24, 2000
Page 4 •
The paint and sign violations were abated by October 14, 1999, as required by the
September 30, 1999 correspondence. The parking lot repair was to have been completed
by October -25, 1999. While some minor repair and light slurry sealing has been
completed, full repairs to the parking lot have yet to be completed. In addition, Condition
1.8 required the applicant to return the "Agreement to Conditions Imposed" Form by
s October 18, 1999, however, the form was submitted on March 14, 2000.
1
Because the applicant has not submitted complete plans for the plancheck process, it is
not possible to determine compliance with all of the conditions of approval at this point. A
number of corrections are outstanding regarding the grading and improvements, including
corrections to the Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical and Photometric plans.
ANALYSIS
While the applicant is seeking an eighteen (18) month extension, staff recommends that
the project approval be extended for a maximum of six (6) months, from June 1, 2000 to
December 1, 2000, for the following reasons:
® Granting an extension of six (6) months would likely spur the applicant to complete
the plan check process in a timely manner. While the applicant began the building
permit plan check process in June 1999, the plans remain incomplete after five (5)
plan check reviews.
• Granting an extension of six (6) months would spur demolition and construction
activity to commence in a timely manner and promote coordination with the Vons
expansion project which is scheduled to begin shortly. While the Vons expansion
project and the carwash project are not required to be constructed concurrently, the
applicant has cited a desire to coordinate construction activities
• . Construction can proceed despite potential contamination.- The applicant cites the
need to delay the project to address potential remediation" of groundwater
contamination on the site. However, representatives from .the Orange County
Health Care Agency_(OCHCA) have stated that any needed remediation would not
adversely impact the proposed development on site. Furthermore, the OCHCA has
stated that they would not object to the City issuing building permits for the
development.
• Granting an exterision of six (6) months would likely spur remediation of existing
property maintenance code violations.
If construction did not begin until Fall 2001, the original environmental
documentation for the project may be outdated. Typically, environmental
documents that approach five years should be reviewed and, if necessary, revised
to reflect current conditions.

t 2 A' RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
3 TUSTIN, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITION 1.3 OF
RESOLUTION NO. 3534 FOR CONDITIONAL:USE PERMIT 97-005 AND
4 DESIGN REVIEW 97-009 EXTENDING THE DATE OF EXPIRATION OF
s THE PROJECT APPROVAL TO JUNE 1, 2000
6 The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
_. ' 1. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
s
A. That a proper application to amend Condition 1.3 of Conditional Use Permit
9 97-005 and Design Review 97-009 was filed_ by Greg Bennett on behalf of
10 the property owners, Howard Ferrand, Ramesh Bajada, and Rekha Bajada
requesting-an, extension of the expiration date for Conditional Use Permit
1 97-005 and Design Review 97-009 from'.December 1, 1999, to December
lz 1, 2001..
13 B. That a -public hearing was duly called, noticed and held. on said application
on October 11, 1999, by the Planning Commission.
14
15 C. That according to Condition 1.3 of Resolution No: 3534, approved by the.
_Planning Commission. oil November 11, 1997 and upheld by the City
16 Council on December 1, 1997, substantial construction was to be underway
by December 1, 1999, or the project approval would be null and void.
17
18 D. As'of the date of this resolution, the applicant has not obtained building
pen-nits for construction of the project and substantial construction is not
14 underway.
zo
E. , That.on September 22,, 1999,,the applicant submitted a request for an
71 extension of-the expiration date for Conditional Use, Permit 97-005 and
Review 97-009 from December 1, 1999, to December 1, 2001,
22 Design
pursuant-to Condition 1.3 of Resolution No. 3534.
23
F. That the extension of the-project expiration date by.twenty-four (24) months
24 _ to December1, 2001 would, under the circumstances of this case, be
` detrimental to-Ahe health,;.safety, or general welfare of the persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of such,proposed use, and be injurious or
26 detrimental to the property and improvements_ in the neighborhood of the
subject property, or to the general: welfare of the City of Tustin,' as
2' evidenced by thefollowing findings:
28
-1. That granting a two year extension.may,result in a lengthy period of
24
inactivity on the site. While the Planning Commission originally
_granted a two year period to commence construction, the applicant
has not.yet begun construction.
1 •Resolution No. 3695
z Page 2
3
4 2. If construction did not begin until Fall 2001, the original
environmental documentation for the project may be outdated.
5 Typically, environmental documents that approach five years are
b considered outdated and must be revised to reflect current
conditions.
7 3. Although the applicant cited fin ancial'constraints as the justification
for a two year extension, development activity is strong throughout
8 the City and the County. Staff has worked with the applicant to
9 minimize the interruption of commercial activities during the
demolition and construction of the project to ensure the continuation
10 of a viable revenue stream.
11 4. The applicant initiated the plancheck process in June 1999 for
demolition.and construction of the project and removed the existing
12 underground storage tanks in September 1999. During plan check,
the applicant requested• expedited plan checks leading staff to
13 believe that construction would begin immediately. While the plans
14 have required corrections, the applicant will be able to obtain a
building permit shortly. In addition, building permits are considered :•
1s "active" for a period of six .months. If building activity does not
16 proceed during those six months, the permit is considered inactive
and the applicantwould be required to renew the permit. Granting a
17 two year extension when the building permit is ready to be issued
may create an inconsistency between the life of the building permit
18 and the extension.
19 5. There are property maintenance violation's on the property (i.e.:
illegal signage and inadequate building and site maintenance).Since
20 the approval of the discretionary applications, the owner has
indicated, a desire to rectify the violations through site
71 redevelopment. Even though the City has granted numerous
22 extensions of time,the owner has not corrected the violations.
23 _ ` G. That the extension of the project expiration'date by six (6) months to June
24 1, 2000 will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or
25 working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be injurious or
detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of,the
26 subject property, or to the general 'welfare of,-the City of Tustin, as
27 evidenced by the following findings:
28 1. That granting a six' month -extension would encourage timely
29 construction of the project.
2. That the approved environmental documentation for the .project
-would remain adequate for the project.
3. That granting a six month extension would revitalize the project site.

EXIrCIITIYI? SUMMARY
J&B Environmental, Inc, was contracted by Mr, Ramesh Bajarla to conduct an environmental.- - -
site assessment at the Tustin Auto Wash, located at 535 East Main Street In Tustin, California. The
purpose of the Investigation was to evaluate groundwater conditions beneath the site.
On December 27 and'28, 1999,J&B Environmental, Inc. drilled five soil borings (MW-1 through
MW-5) to evaluate groundwater conditions beneath the site. The borings were drilled to
depths ranging from 73 to 75 fbg. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 57 fbg
during drilling, Groundwater levels later stabilized at approximately 54 fbg. Wells MW-1 and
MW-3 through MW-5 were screened from 40to 70fbg and well.MW-2 was screened from 45 to
75fbg to allow for fluctuations In static water levels and in accordance with the requirements of
the OCHCA.
Sediments encountered during drilling from grade to 'approximately 75 fbg consisted
predominantly of interbedded sand and salty sand, with lesser amounts clay and silt.
Laboratory analytical results of soil samples indicated TPH as gasoline concentrations ranging
from below the detection limit to 23,6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), benzene concentrations
ranging from below the detectlon limit to 0.575 mg/kg, and MTBE concentrations ranging from
below the detection limit to 23.2 mg/kg. The presence of MTBE was confirmed using EPA
Method 8260.
Laboratory analytical results of groundwater samples collected from wells MW-1 through
MW-5 indicated TPH as gasoline -concentrations ranging from below the detection limit to
29,800 micrograms per liter (ug/1), benzene concentrations ranging from below the detection
limit to 21.6 ug/l, and MTBE concentrations ranging from .4.3 to 29,700 ug/1. The presence of
MTBE was confirmed using EPA Method 8260._
OnJanuary 4, 2000, the groundwater flow direction for the site was toward the south-southeast,
With a gradient of approximately 0.004.
The lateral extent of dissolved-phase,hydrocarbons above regulatory action levels has been
dellneated to the north and west of the former gasoline USTs. The lateral extent of dissolved
phase hydrocarbons and MTB E has not been dellheated.to the south of well M W-3 or the east
of well MW-2.
Executive Summary
Page 2 of 2
Based on.the results previous and current.Investigations,J&B Environmental, Inc. recommends:
�F. Installing atleast one additional groundwater monitoring Well south of the site and one well
to the east of the site to delineate the lateral extent of'dlssolved-phase hydrocarbons:
• InItlating a quarterly groundwater monitoring program at the site to document dissolved-
phase hydrocarbon trends In the groundwater beneath the site; and ,
x; Forwarding a copy of this report to Mr. Anthony Martinez of the Orange County Health Care
.; Agency.

OCHCA Case 499UT49
Dear Mr.Bajaria:
This office has reviewed the site assessment report referenced above. We concur with the
recommendations-presented in the report that quarterly groundwater monitoring be conducted at this
site and that additional assessment is required to assess the lateral extent of groundwater
contamination. Therefore,you are required to address the following items:
L Quarterly groundwater monitoring must be conducted at this site until you are directed otherwise
by this office.
2. A workplan for the installation of additional wells to assess the extent of the shallow groundwater
contamination to the south and east of the size must be submitted to this office for review and
approval by April 28,2000.
Groundwater supply wells are located less than 1000 -feet west of the subject site. Significant
concentrations of MTBE have also been discovered at this site. Therefore, this is considered a high-
priority case and you will be required to conduct a characterization of the vertical extent of the
groundwater contamination. A workplan for this assessment activity will be required upon submittal
of the report for the next phase of site assessment. Also,upon completion of the vertical groundwater
assessment, the locations and elevations of all wells must be.surveyed by'a Professional Licensed
Surveyor to a nearby benchmark.A corrective action plan will also be required for this site and should
be prepared as soon as your consultant determines that enough data is available to conduct a feasibility
study to evaluate potential remedial alternatives.•

Subject: Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Case Requirements
Re: Tustin Car Wash
535 East Main Street
Tustin, California
OCHCA Case#99UT49
Dear Ms.Peterson:
This office has reviewed a letter from the City of Tustin dated March 22, 2000. In that letter, you
request information regarding the underground storage tank(CYST) cleanup case for the site referenced
above. At this time, the OCHCA has an active cleanup case for this site because of contamination
discovered during UST removal activities. Upon removal of USTs,.the responsible party,.Ramesh
Bajaria, was directed to characterize the extent of the subsurface contamination beneath the site.
Several soil borings were drilled and sampled and five groundwater monitoring wells have been
installed.
This office received the most recent site assessment report on March 6, 2000. Based on the findings
presented in this report it appears that additional assessment will be required to assess the full extent of
the groundwater contaminant plume, which appears to extend south and east of the site. Additional
groundwater monitoring wells are required off site.
With regard to the specific questions posed in the March 22,2000 letter-
1. Remediation is required.
2. Remediation may include the excavation of a small volume of shallow soil;however,the majority
of the remediation will likelybe accomplished by vapor and/or water recovery and treatment.
3. It will probably be necessary to conduct active remediation at this site several years, followed by
two years of post-remediation monitoring.
4. A remedial schedule has not been established for this site. Approval of a corrective action plan
usually requires the responsible party to achieve particular results over a specified period. The
state niay be issuingguidelines this year mandating cleanup times based on the priority of the site.
Karen Peterson

March 24,2000
Page 2-
. -5. Other than excavation, most of the required remediation can be accomplished with minor impact
;. to the proposed commercial/retail development at this site.
f 6. The OCHCA would require that the CAP.considers future site use, and includes appropriate
measures to minimize any interference between the remedial actions and the future site use.
7. This office would not object to the City issuing building permits for this site, but we would
r=
suggest that the responsible party get the corrective action plan approved by OCHCA before
construction begins.
If you have any further questions,please call Me at(714) 667-3716.

RESOLUTION NO. 3695. FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 97-005 AND
` 4 DESIGN REVIEW 97-009 EXTENDING THE DATE OF EXPIRATION OF
S THE PROJECT APPROVAL TO DECEMBER 1, 2000
iT 6 The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
7 I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application to amend Condition 1.1 of the amendment to
9 Conditional Use Permit 97-005 and Design Review 97-009 was fled by
10 Greg Bennett on behalf of the property owners, Howard Ferrand, Ramesh
Bajaria, and Rekha Bajaria requesting an eighteen (18) month extension of
11 the expiration date for Conditional Use Permit 97-005 and Design Review
97-009 from June 1, 2000, to December 1, 2001.
12
13 B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed and held on said application
on April 24, 2000, by the Planning Commission.
14
15 C. That according to Condition .1.3 of Resolution No. 3534, approved by the
Planning Commission on November 11, .1997 and upheld by the City
16 Council on December 1, 1997, substantial.construction was to be underway
17 by December 1, 1999, or the project approval would be null and void.
18 'D. That on October 11, 1999, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
No. 3695, conditionally approving a six (6) month extension,of the expiration
19 date for Conditional Use Permit 97-005 and Design Review 97-009 from
20 December 1, 1999, to June 1, 2000, pursuant to Condition 1.3iof Resolution
No. 3534.
21.
E. That on March 16, 2000, the applicant submitted a request to amend
zz Condition 1.1 of Planning Commission, Resolution No. 3695 to allow an
23 extension of the expiration date for Conditional Use,Permit 97-005 and
Design Review 97-009-from June 1, 2000, to December 1, 2001.
24
25 F. As of the date of this resolution,-the applicant has not obtained building
permits for construction of the project and substantial construction is not
26 underway.

G. That the extension of the project expiration date by eighteen (18) months to
4 December 1, 2001 may, under the circumstances of this case, be
s detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, and be injurious or
6 detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the
subject properly, or to the general welfare of the, City of Tustin, as
evidenced by the following findings:
s -
1. That granting an eighteen month extension may result in a lengthy
9 period of inactivity on the site. While the Planning Commission
10 originally granted •a six month extension period to commence
construction, the applicant has not yet begun construction.
2. The approved expansion to the Vons supermarket adjacent to the
subject property and the need to coordinate site improvements
1z between the two projects does not exist. The plan check for the
13 Vons project has been approved and permits may be issued.
3. That the need to delay the project to address remediation of soil and
14 groundwater contamination on the site does not exist. The Orange
is County Health Care Agency, which regulates soil contamination and
remediation issues, would not object to the City issuing building
16 permits for the development.
4. If construction did not begin until Fall 2001, the original
" environmental documentation for the project may be outdated.
18 Typically, environmental documents that approach five years should
be reviewed and, if necessary, revised to reflect current conditions.
19
20 H. That the extension of the project expiration date by six (6) months to
December 1, 2000 will not, under the circumstances of this case, be
21 detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor
zz be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the
23 neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of
Tustin, as evidenced by the following findings:
24 -
25 1. Granting an extension of six (6). months would likely spur the
applicant to complete the plan check process in a timely manner.
26 2. Granting an extension of six (6) months rather than eighteen (18)
months would spur demolition and construction activity to commence
27 in a timely manner and promote coordination with the Vons
28 expansion project which is scheduled to begin shortly.
3. Construction may proceed despite potential contamination.
