BACKGROUND
Two phases of the master plan for the development of the religious temple and
educational facility have been constructed at 2111 Bryan (Attachment A - Location Map).
Phase I was completed in late 1992 and included the construction of 10,969 square feet
including a multi-purpose room, offices and classrooms. Phase II was completed in July
1999 and included the construction of 11,408 square feet including a sanctuary with 350
fixed seats, offices, classrooms, and a retail/gift shop.
In accordance with the Master Plan, Phase III of the master plan could include the
construction of 13,382 square feet with additional classrooms; the applicant is proposing
7,076 square feet of classroom and administrative office area. Previous approvals are
shown below:

Site and Surrounding Properties
The site is located at the northwest corner of Bryan Avenue and Parkcenter Lane within
the East Tustin Specific Plan area. The 2.8-acre site is bordered primarily by residential
uses on the north, south, east, and west. In addition, a Southern California Edison
Company substation is located adjacent to the western property line and an Orange
County Flood Control District channel traverses the southern portion of the site.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval to amend Conditional Use Permit 99-018 to continue
to use the modular classroom building for one (1) year longer than five (5) years as
approved by CUP 99-018 to accommodate construction of a permanent classroom
building. The applicant is also requesting approval of Design Review 03-017 for site and
building review of the permanent 7,076 square foot classroom and administrative office
building, to be generally located within the same footprint of the existing modular
structure.
The 1,440 square foot modular structure is located east of the main building between the
trellis-covered patio and the parking lot and would be temporarily relocated in the parking
area immediately to the east of the current location (See Attachment B - Modular
Relocation Plan). The twenty-four (24) foot by sixty (60) foot structure is comprised of two
twelve (12) foot by sixty (60) foot modular units that sit approximately two (2) feet above
ground and are fully skirted. Access to the modular structure will continue to be provided
on a wooden ramp and deck system facing the existing building and playgrounds. Per
CUP 99-018, seventy-nine (79) pre-school children use the facility from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00
p.m.
Per Conditions 2.1 and 2.2 of Resolution No. 3689, the modular classroom was
permitted to be located at the current location for a period of five (5) years from
September 13, 1999, and when the permanent building was to eventually be built, a
temporary relocation plan for the modular structure was to be submitted to the City.
The applicant is requesting modification of Conditions 2.1 and 2.2 to accommodate the
proposed project while maintaining operational classrooms. The conditions would be
modified as follows:
2.1
The modular classroom structure shall be removed from the subject
property prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for Phase III
development or within five (5) six (6) years from the adoption date of this
resolution, September 13, 2004 2005, whichever occurs first. The modular
structure may be relocated along the southern boundary of the property
Planning Commission Report
Amendment to CUP 99-018 & DR 03-017
September 27,2004
Page 4
during construction and shall be removed prior to issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy for Phase III development. A relocation plan for the modular
structure shall be submitted to the Community Development Department
for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits for the
modular structure. A refundable bond for removal of the modular structure
in the amount of $1,500.00 shall be deposited with the Community
Development Department prior to issuance of building permits for the
modular structure.
2.2
If Phase III construction has not been undertaken within the five (5) six (6)
years from the date of this resolution, the modular classroom structure
shall be removed and the footprint area shall be landscaped. A landscape
plan for this area shall be submitted to the Community Development
Department for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits
for the modular structure.
The modular classroom area will be fenced from the construction area, will continue to
have access to the playground area, and will have approved hours of operation for the
preschool per CUP 99-018 from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to coincide with the typical drop-
off and pick-up hours.
Site Plan
The proposed 7,076 square foot, two-story structure will have two (2) preschool
classrooms for up to fifty (50) children, a reception area, office, and restroom on the first
floor with direct access along the west side of the building, and three emergency exit
doors along the east elevation; the second floor will have three (3) elementary school
classrooms with operable partitions for different classroom configurations for up to eighty
(80) children, a small kitchen, restrooms, and closets. Condition 5.4 is included to require
the applicant to obtain the necessary license(s) issued by the State Department of
Social Services for an elementary school with eighty (80) children and pre-school with
fifty (50) children and deliver to the Community Development Director prior to issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy. Access to the second floor will be via internal stairs
through the first-floor reception area at the north end of the building, and via an outdoor
deck and external stairs at the south end of the building immediately adjacent to the
Orange County Flood Control Channel.
The hours of operation will be as follows per Condition 5.3:

There are two access driveways to the site; one on Bryan Avenue and one on Parkcenter
Lane (Attachment C - Site Plan). No changes to the existing drive aisle that extends
behind the sanctuary and connects the entrance on Bryan Avenue to the entrance on
Parkcenter Lane are proposed. No additional parking is proposed. In accordance with
the East Tustin Specific Plan, the off-street parking requirement for a preschool is one
space for every five (5) children and one space for each staff member, and two (2)
spaces for each classroom elementary schools. However, the total required parking for
the entire facility is based on the assumption that simultaneous uses will be limited.
Previous conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit 91-002, Design Review 97-
026, and Conditional Use Permit 99-018 limit the number of simultaneous events to that
which can be accommodated by the minimum number of required parking spaces. Only
uses for which parking is provided may operate simultaneously. These uses include the
social hall or the sanctuary or the preschool facility, office/administration area, gift shop,
classrooms, and the classroom.
The off-street parking requirement for the existing and proposed pre-school, offices, and
classrooms is 98 spaces. The social hall requires 114 off-street parking spaces;
however, the sanctuary requires 135 off-street parking spaces. The use of the sanctuary
generates the largest number of parking spaces which can be accommodated by the
existing 163 parking spaces. Conditions 5.1 and 5.2 of Resolution 3934 include
limitations for simultaneous uses and parking.
Arch itectu re/Landscapi na
The structure will have a plaster finish and light tan building color to match the existing
buildings. A second, darker tan color will be located along the first floor on the east
elevation, on the external stairs on the south elevation, and around the first floor windows
on the west and north elevations. The wood fascia canopy will be located along the west
elevation, over the classroom windows, and a smaller matching canopy over the top of
the stairs on the south elevation. The east, south, and west elevations will have a flat
parapet roof with a tile accent at the parapet cap; a low pitched roof (3: 12) with barrel tiles
to match the existing buildings will be located at the north end of the building.

The applicant will remove the temporary "greenscreen" that screened the modular
structure and will maintain the existing trees. In addition, the applicant will install a thirty-
six (36) inch box Magnolia Grandiflora tree at the northwest corner of the building and a
twenty-four (24) inch Tristania Conferta at the southeast corner of the building, and will
install perimeter landscaping along the north and east elevations, including: Yellow Daisy,
Photinia, Shiny Xilosma Japanese Boxwood, Heavenly Bamboo, India Hawthorne, Day
Lily, and Peacock Flower (Attachment D - Architectural and Landscaping Plans). Views
of the structure would be screened from residences to the north and east by existing and
proposed trees. Condition 7.1 is included to require the applicant to maintain the trees
and groundcover in a healthy condition.
Noise
The activities in the existing outdoor playground and patio area will generate background
noise that is not anticipated to exceed the standards of the Noise Ordinance. If the City is
advised that a noise problem exists as a result of the school, Condition 5.2 would require
the applicant to submit a noise analysis and implement mitigation measures.
ANAL YSIS
In determining whether to amend the Conditional Use Permit and approve the Design
Review, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed use will
be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons
residing in or working in the neighborhood or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to
property or improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City.
A decision to approve this request may be supported by the following findings:
1)
The proposed use is consistent with the East Tustin Specific Plan and the
City of Tustin General Plan in that the "Community Facility" zoning district
conditionally permits schools and the "Planned Community Residential"
land use designation provides for schools which are compatible and
oriented towards serving the needs of residential neighborhoods.
2)
The propose project for a 7,076 square foot classroom and administrative
office building is less than the 13,382 square feet authorized on the
conceptual master plan per Design Review 90-23 and Conditional Use
Permit 91-002.
3)
As conditioned, the temporary structure and proposed classroom building
will not have a negative effect on the surrounding property owners or impact
Planning Commission Report
Amendment to CUP 99-018 & DR 03-017
September 27,2004
Page 7
the availability of off-street parking in that the increase in enrollment and
staffing of the preschool and the proposed classrooms and administrative
offices will not increase the total number of required on-site parking spaces
(135) during operation of the preschool, offices, and classrooms. No
activities will be scheduled simultaneously that would require more parking
spaces than are provided. Should there be a problem with parking, the
applicant will be required to prepare a formal parking demand analysis and
implement mitigation measures required by the City.
4)
The proposed structure, use, and location, as conditioned, will not be a
detriment to the public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the
community since the structure will be constructed in the approximately the
same location as the existing modular structure, consisting of classrooms
as previously anticipated for Phase III facilities.
5)
The proposed temporary structure and proposed use, as conditioned, will
not be detrimental to the surrounding properties in that the structure is
placed near the southern property boundary at a distance from residential
properties to the north, east, and south. The structure will be screened with
landscaping that is required to be maintained in a healthy condition.
The proposed temporary structure and use will not be detrimental to the
surrounding properties in that the hours of operation of the preschool will be
limited to daytime Monday through Friday, except until 8:00 p.m. on
Wednesday and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. In addition, the
applicant would be required to submit a noise analysis and implement
mitigation measures if a nuisance is created by the level of noise generated
from the preschool playground area.

RESOLUTION NO. 3934
RESOLUTION NO. 3934
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-
018 TO EXTEND THE USE OF THE EXISTING MODULAR
BUILDING UNTIL CONSTRUCTION OF THE PERMANENT
BUILDING IS COMPLETED AND DESIGN REVIEW 03-017 TO
CONSTRUCT A 7,076 SQUARE FOOT CLASSROOM BUILDING
WITH ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AT 2111 BRYAN AVENUE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
B.
C.
A proper application, Design Review 03-017 and Amendment to
Conditional Use Permit 99-018, was filed by B'Nai Israel Congregation,
to construct a permanent 7,076 square foot, two-story building,
including classrooms and administration offices, and a request to
modify Conditions 2.1 and 2.2 of Resolution No. 3689 to extend the
use of the existing modular building until construction of the permanent
building is completed at 2111 Bryan Avenue within the East Tustin
Specific Plan Community Facility zoning district and the Planned
Community Residential General Plan land use designation.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said
application on September 27,2004, by the Planning Commission.
That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the propqsed
use will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be
injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the
neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the
City of Tustin in that:
1)
The proposed use is consistent with the East Tustin Specific Plan
and the City of Tustin General Plan in that the "Community
Facility" zoning district conditionally permits pre-schools and
elementary schools, and the "Planned Community Residential"
land use designation provides for schools which are compatible
and oriented towards serving the needs of residential
neighborhoods. .
2)
The propose project for a 7,076 square foot classroom and
administrative office building is less than the 13,382 square feet
authorized on the conceptual master plan per Design Review 90-
23 and Conditional Use Permit 91-002.
3)
As conditioned, the temporary structure and proposed classroom
building will not have a negative effect on the surrounding
property owners or impact the availability of off-street parking in
Resolution No. 3934
Page 2
D.
that the increase in enrollment and staffing of the preschool and
the proposed classrooms and administrative offices will not
increase the total number of required on-site parking spaces
(135) during operation of the preschool, offices, and classrooms.
No activities will be scheduled simultaneously that would require
more parking spaces than are provided. Should there be a
problem with parking, the applicant will be required to prepare a
formal parking demand analysis and implement mitigation
measures required by the City.
4)
The proposed structure, use, and location, as conditioned, will
not be a detriment to the public health, safety, welfare, and
aesthetics of the community since the structure will be
constructed in the approximately the same location as the
existing modular structure, consisting of classrooms as previously
anticipated for Phase III facilities.
5)
The proposed temporary structure and proposed use, as
conditioned, will not be detrimental to the surrounding properties
in that the structure is placed near the southern property
boundary at a distance from residential properties to the north,
east, and south. The structure will be screened with landscaping
that is required to be maintained in a healthy condition.
6)
The proposed temporary structure and use will not be detrimental
to the surrounding properties in that that the hours of operation of
the preschool will be limited to daytime Monday through Friday,
except until 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Sundays from 9:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m. In addition, the applicant would be required to
submit a noise analysis and implement mitigation measures if a
nuisance is created by the level of noise generated from the
preschool playground area.
Pursuant to Section 9272 of the Tustin Municipal Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of the proposed development will not impair the
orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or future
development therein, or the occupancy as a whole because the
building location will be in approximately the same footprint as the
existing modular building, and the building is designed to match
colors, materials, and style of the existing contemporary Spanish
Colonial buildings. In making such findings, the Commission has
considered at least the following items:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Height, bulk, and area of buildings.
Setbacks and site planning.
