1.
Adopt Resolution No. 3932 approving Use Determination 04-001 to establish
bicycle fitness training with accessory outdoor stationary bicycle training as a
conditionally permitted use in the Commercial as Primary District of the First
Street Specific Plan; and,
2.
Adopt Resolution No. 3933 approving Conditional Use Permit 04-001 to

accessory use to a bicycle sales and repair shop, during two (2) classes a night,
two (2) nights a week from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. from September to April at 115
N. Prospect Avenue.
BACKGROUND
Site and Surrounding Properties
The applicant is requesting to establish an indoor and outdoor bicycle skills and training
facility at an existing bicycle sales and repair business, Santiago Cycling. Santiago
Cycling has been operating at the subject location since 1998. The existing business is
the largest tenant space of three (3) inline retail businesses, which include a beauty salon
and clothing store. Another bicycle shop is located in an adjacent tenant space in the
same center; however, it is located on a separate, independently owned and accessible
parcel.
The site is located along a commercial corridor on Prospect Avenue, north of First Street,
north of Old Town Tustin and the Cultural Resources Overlay District. The site is
bounded by residential condominiums to the north, multi-family residential apartments to
the east, retail uses, including restaurants and a tire shop, to the southeast, south, and
southwest across Prospect Avenue, and single-family detached homes to the west across
Prospect Avenue to the east (Attachment A - Location Map). Access to the site is
currently provided from an existing driveway on Prospect Avenue.
Public Noticing
A public hearing notice identifying the time, date, and location of the public hearing for the
proposal was published in the Tustin News on September 16, 2004. In addition, property
owners within 300 feet of the site were notified of the hearing by mail and notices were
posted on the site and at City Hall on September 16, 2004. The applicant was informed
of the availability of the agenda and staff report for this item.
USE DETERMINATION
The First Street Specific Plan (FSSP) does not currently list bicycle training classes as
a permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited use. Since Section III(D)(1)(a)(3)
allows the Planning Commission to determine whether an unlisted use is similar to
other listed uses and should be permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited, a Use
Determination is required to list the proposed use within the FSSP. For evaluation of
the request, the Planning Commission must consider whether or not the proposed use is:
Planning Commission Report
CUP 04-002, UD 04-001
September 27,2004
Page 3
a) consistent with the overall intent of the planning unit; and, b) consistent with other listed
permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the planning unit.
The FSSP is divided into three (3) sub-areas containing thirty (30) planning areas. Of the
thirty (30) planning areas, nineteen (19) are designated Commercial. The proposed
bicycling training facility could be considered a similar use in the FSSP area since it would
be accessory to a permitted retail use. It is also consistent with other training uses such
as martial arts studios, which are conditionally permitted in the FSSP. While uses
typically occur within a building, the applicant also requests that a portion of the training
activities occur outside the building. As a result, potential impacts to adjacent properties
may occur. As with any other conditionally permitted use, future proposals would be
reviewed on a case-by-case basis reviewing specific circumstances related to that project
to consider all possible impacts including, but not limited to, extent of outdoor activity,
hours of operation, parking, noise, etc.
An approval of the use determination could be supported by the following findings:
1)
The proposed use is consistent with the overall intent of the Commercial as
Primary Use designation for Sub-area 2 of the First Street Specific Plan, which is
to maintain and perpetuate a mix of commercial uses.
2)
The proposed use is consistent with other listed uses with the Commercial
designation in that bicycle training classes would be similar to other conditionally
permitted assembly uses in the First Street Specific Plan, such as martial arts
studios and driver training facilities.
3)
The outdoor training component is intended to be accessory to the primary indoor
fitness training use and be limited to the outdoor placement of stationary training
bicycles during infrequent and temporary class periods.
4)
As typically required for classroom or training facilities throughout the City, the
proposed training facility would be required to provide one (1) parking space per
(3) three students and one (1) parking space per instructor to ensure sufficient
parking.
5)
To ensure compatibility, proposals would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
and subject to the conditional use permit process and public noticing requirements.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Project Description
The 2,640 square foot building is currently used as a bicycle sales and repair business.
The applicant intends to conduct the Robert Kahler Cycling Academy on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. from September 1st to April 30th for up to
fifty-one (51) students and two (2) instructors at one time. Two (2) classes would be
conducted during the four (4) hour time period where cyclists ride two (2) training

Page 4
apparatus for each class with a lecture on various cycling techniques, nutrition, exercise,
and health. There would be a maximum of two (2) instructors during a class session; one
(1) indoors and one (1) outdoors. The indoor classes would consist of fourteen (14)
ergonometers and ten (10) rollers (Attachment B - Submitted Plans) and would include
the lecture portion of the class. The outdoor session would include up to twelve (12) wind
trainers on the walkway only, located immediately in front of the store front per Condition
3.1 of Resolution No. 3933. Condition 2.1 requires minimum disability access be
maintained at all times. The applicant is not proposing any new exterior lighting; however,
Condition 2.1 would require the applicant to obtain all necessary permits for any new
lighting to ensure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations; Condition 2.1 also
requires a minimum requirement of one (1) foot-candle lighting level throughout the site
while ensuring that the lighting is contained within the property.
Parking
A total of nineteen (19) off-street parking spaces provide parking for three (3) tenants on-
site: the cycle shop, an 880 square foot clothing store, and an 880 square foot beauty
salon. As a result of the bicycle training classes, the clothing store (per Condition 3.2)
and the beauty salon will be closed by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday to permit
. maximum use of all parking stalls (Attachment C - Letter from Carmen Gutierrez of Best
Cuts Salon, received via fax September 21,2004).
One (1) parking space per instructor and one (1) space for every three (3) students will be
required for the training classes. While the applicant is proposing a total of thirty-six (36)
pieces of training equipment inside and outside of the store, a maximum of two (2)
instructors and fifty-one (51) students could be permitted dependent upon complying with
minimum California Title 24 accessibility and exiting requirements. Condition 3.2 requires
the applicant to limit the total number of instructors and students to the available parking.
This condition would also allow the Community Development Department to permit an
increase in the maximum number instructors or students if sufficient parking is provided
and the occupancy load of the facility complies with the Uniform Building Code.
Condition 3.4 requires the applicant to ensure there is no overlap of classes or
participants and that students from the first class leave the property before students in the
second class arrive. Condition 3.7 is included to ensure all outdoor class activities do not
occur within parking spaces or drive aisles.
In addition to the Tuesday and Thursday training classes, the applicant coordinates
community bike rides on Saturday morning. Although no on-site training occurs, the
parking lot is used as a staging area for off-site rides and participants park their cars in
the parking lot. Since both of the other two (2) tenants are open Saturday mornings,
Condition 3.5 is included to require the applicant to limit the number of bike ride attendees
to the ten (10) available parking spaces on Saturday mornings, based upon a ratio of one
(1) parking space for each instructor and one (1) parking space for each participant.

Noise
The applicant has submitted an acoustical analysis performed by John Koval, Senior
Engineer for Linear Acoustic Labs of Santa Ana, California, to analyze exterior noise
impacts generated from outdoor wind trainer classes (Attachment D - "Sound Pressure
Levels in Bicycle Wind Trainer Sprints," dated July 19, 2004). As proposed, twelve (12)
wind trainers operating at a maximum intensity would generate noise levels of 69.6
dB(A) at a distance of sixty (60) feet, which is approximately the same distance from the
proposed outdoor class location to the front property line. As identified by the City
Noise Ordinance, the exterior noise standard for commercial districts is 60 dB(A) at the
property line; however, pursuant to Tustin City Code Section 4614c, the maximum
allowable noise level may be increased to reflect the maximum ambient noise level.
The Tustin General Plan Noise Element identifies the Community Noise Equivalent.
Level (CNEL) Contours for Prospect Avenue as 70 CNEL in the center of Prospect
Avenue. Therefore, since Condition 3.1 would restrict the maximum number of outdoor
wind trainers to twelve (12), the proposed project would comply with the Tustin Noise
Ordinance. Condition 3.8 would prohibit the use of any outdoor music or public address
system, including a handheld amplification device, and Condition 3.9 would also require
the applicant to be responsible for any necessary future monitoring and implementation
of mitigation measures.
Hours of Operation
The applicant is proposing operating hours from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Tuesday and
Thursday, September 1 to April 30. Since Tustin City Code Section 4614(a) (Noise
Ordinance) and the Tustin General Plan identify 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. as a distinct
time period for sensitivity to noise levels in residential areas and this time period is
accepted as "quiet hours" in residential zone by the Tustin Police Department,
Condition 3.3 limits the months, days, and hours of operation and Condition 3.4
requires the site to be cleared by no later than 10:00 p.m. or within thirty (30) minutes of
class completion, whichever is sooner. These hours of operation are limited in nature
and do not extend beyond the business hours of other businesses within the surrounding
vicinity.
Public Comments
Two (2) letters have been submitted from the adjacent property and business owner,
Robert Ruth, of Don's Schwinn Cyclery at 121 N. Prospect Avenue. The letters, dated
and received on September 20 and 21, 2004, outline Mr. Ruth's concerns primarily
regarding parking issues as a result of Santiago Cyclery's training classes on Tuesday
and Thursday, Saturday morning rides (Attachments E and F, Letters from Robert Ruth of
Don's Schwinn Cyclery). Conditions of approval have been included in Resolution No.
3933 to address all applicable concerns.
In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, 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
Planning Commission Report
CUP 04-002, UD 04-001
September 27, 2004
Page 6
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, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to surrounding
properties in that the use would be accessory to the primary retail use of the
building and would be limited in frequency and duration to four hours from 5:30
p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on two nights each week between September 1 and April 30.
The number of instructors and students and scope of operations for the proposed
facility can be supported by the on-site facilities and, as conditioned, would be
compatible with the uses on the surrounding commercial properties.
2)
The outdoor training component would be limited to twelve (12) stationary bicycles
on the sidewalk in front of the bicycle store only, no outdoor speakers or public
address system would be allowed, and pedestrian and disabled access across the
sidewalk would be provided.
3)
The proposed use is not anticipated to result in parking impacts since the total
number of instructors and students in the classes would be limited to the available
on-site parking by providing one (1) space for every three (3) students and one (1)
space per instructor, which is the typical ratio used for classroom and training
facilities throughout the City. In addition, the property owner and operator would
be required to ensure that all parking related to the use occurs in designated
parking spaces on the property and does not encroach into adjacent properties or
on the public right-of-way.
4) The proposed use, as conditioned, would not create a noise impact on the
surrounding neighborhood since the outdoor classes would be limited to twelve
(12) "windtrainers" to comply with the Tustin Noise Ordinance and General Plan
Noise Element.
5) The proposed use will not be detrimental to the surrounding properties in that the
hours of operation of the classes do not extend beyond the general business hours
of other businesses within the surrounding vicinity.

Subject:
Conditional Use Permit 04-002 and Use Determination 04-001
Response to your letter dated January 29, 2004
Dear Mr. West,
The following is a response to the comments contained in your letter dated January 29, 2004
pertaining to the subject conditional use permit and use determination.
I would respectfully request that in your review of this project that you keep in mind the scope and
scale of the classes that Mr. Kahler offers. The classes are offered from October to April
spanning 23 weeks, for two nights per week averaging three and a half hours per night. This
represents 161 hours per year or 4.9 percent of the typical commercial business year. The
Robert Kahler Cycling Academy is clearly a low impact business.

"Sound Pressure Levels in Bicycle Wind Trainer Sprints",
dated July 19,2004
p. 1'. ~ce,¥ ~ EIUJÜI"'U
Sound Pressure Levels in Bicycle Wind Trainer Sprints
A sound pressure level study was perfonned on July 19, 2004 with a maximum of ten
(10) wind load simulators (trainers) attached to bicycles, and each ridden by an
experienced cyclist. .
John Koval, senior engineer for Linear Acoustic Labs of Santa Ana, California,
perfonned the study in a quiet cul-du-sac in North Tustin at 11521 Cielo Place, 92705.
At a distance of sixty (60) feet sound pressure levels were measured of repeated 30-
second sprint bouts on the trainers, at both medium and high intensity levels. The highest
of these readings were recorded in decibels using the "A" weighted spectral sound curve
(the most universally required and accepted weighted sound curve in noise analysis).
The sprint protocol was set up by first using one trainer (with bike and rider), then
continuing with two, four, eight and finally ten riders, all groups respectively sprinting
simultaneously. This protocol was perfonned fITSt with the medium intensity sprints
using approximately 60 to 70 percent of maximum effort. Next the same protocol was
perfonned, but this time using high intensity - 85 to 95 percent effort.

During protocol one at medium intensity, the sound pressure level readings increased
from 51.0 decibels with one rider sprinting, to a maximum of 61.4 decibels with ten
riders sprinting, an increase of slightly more than twenty (20) percent. During protocol
two at high intensity, the sound pressure level readings increased from 60.0 decibels with
one rider sprinting, to a maximum of 68.0 decibels with ten riders sprinting, an increase
of slightly more than thirteen (13) percent.
When the results are extrapolated for Db readings for 12 wind trainers (the maximum
number that will be used during the Cycling Academy clinics), the levels reach a peak of
69.6 Db, given a similar percent increase (2.4%) as the previous (actual) highest
measured level.

RE: CUP 04-001 and UD 04-001 Santiago Cycling Outdoors Fitness Classes
Dear Matt,
I appreciate you taking time with me this morning to discuss the CUP 04-002 and the Use
Determination 04-001 that the adjacent property owners have applied for to establish
outdoor bicycle skills and fitness training classes.
PRIMARY CONCERN #1- SA TURD A Y RIDES
There has been no mention of the Fitness Class Saturday morning rides that leave from
the applicant's parking lot that ends at 9:30 - 10:30 AM. The ride isn't a concern,
however other businesses in the center open up at 8:00 AM (sometimes the beauty parlor)
so their customers cannot use any parking and then choose to park in front of my store,
Between the clothing store and beauty parlor their customers can take up all my front
store parking. The beauty parlor's morning customers and employees stay in front of my
store until the mid-afternoon. This problem has been an on going situation that has
caused me financial loss, My Saturday business is frequently cut in half as these
employees and the customers of the other business are using my parking.
PRIMARY CONCERN #2 - LEASEE'S STORE HOURS
The store hours that are kept by the other two businesses are from 9 AM to 7 PM. Since
Tuesday and Thursday nights fitness classes take up all the available parking plus spaces
on my private property; then when patrons of the clothing store and beauty parlor need
parking they also park in front of my store, My customers again are unable to find
parking on my private property to shop at my store, The clothing store and the beauty
parlor use orange colored cones to reserve parking stalls in front of their businesses.
¿
\
\
RECOMMENDATION TO MITIGATE PARKING ISSUES
\L
I don't believe that the Kahlers can limit store hours 0/ the two businesses
they lease to and that the only way to have a meaningful resolution to this
parking issue is to assign parking stalls to the beauty parlor and the
clothing stores for at least the first classes on Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday bases on the stores' square/ootage.
Page 2 of 2
PRIMARY CONCERN #3 - CONFUSION OF LEASEE
STATING STORE HOURS
The beauty parlor and clothing store are under the belief that they can maintain any store
hours with or without the approval of the leasor. The fact is that the operators of the
beauty parlor and clothing store maintain hours of operation other than what the City of
Tustin has been told by the applicant.
-
"\
PRIMARY CONCERN #4 - Street Congestion in front of
Santiago Cycling and Don's Schwinn Cyclery
During the evening classes because of the excessive parking along Prospect Ave., it is
extremely difficult to ingress and egress from the adjacent (Don's) parking lot. The view
of the cars leaving the parking lot cannot see the traffic coming from the First Street
intersection and my customer's have complained about this difficulty. Several times last
year there has been a few near misses of cars colliding.
,,'
~
l
PRIMARY CONCERN #5 - PARKING ON PRIV ATE
PROPERTY
At no time does the adjacent property owner at 121 N Prospect allow Tuesday, Thursday
or Saturday Fitness Class parking or any other parking other then parking by Don's
customers. Employees of adjacent business or their customers cannot park on Don's
parking during or after business hours.
./"
.-
PRIMARY CONCERN #6 - Handicap Parking
I believe the handicap-parking stall is not properly sized and needs to be reviewed.
../'
-
CONCLUSION - FINAL COMMENTS
In conclusion, I feel as the adjacent property owner the only way do mitigate this parking
problem is for me to build the separation wall that was started a year ago, but was halted
by the Kahler's bringing a law suit against Don's Schwinn Cyclery. This issue would
have been settled by a jury trial if the Kahler's didn't withdraw their suit.

RE: CUP 04-001 and UD 04-001 Santiago Cycling Outdoors Fitness Classes
Dear Matt,
CITY'S CONDITION FOR APPROVING CUP & UD - NOT LEGAL
During our phone conversation today we discussed the City's Staff condition for
approving the CUP & UD by having Mr. Kahler submit in writing that he will require his
two tenants to close at 5 PM. You were under the assumption that store hours of the
tenants were part of the lease agreement, however when I pressed you to show me where
in the lease it stated the store hours you admitted to me that there was no reference to
store hours.
IF THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH IS TRUE THEN,
The written guarantee by Mr. Kahler is illegal and unenforceable without seeing an
addendum to both leases stating hours of operations signed and notarized by both parties
to the lease. I do not think it is enforceable legally to have the property owner
unilaterally add to the tenDS of the lease without a written document approving the
changes to the lease.

I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
That a proper application for Use Determination 04-001 was filed by Robert
Kahler and Jill Koval-Kahler to request a use determination from the
Planning Commission for establishment of bicycle fitness training at 115 N.
Prospect Avenue, also known as Parcel 2, as shown on a map filed in
Book 2, Pages 33 of Parcel Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of
Orange County, California, and can be further described as Assessor
Parcel Number 401-141-05.
B.
According to the First Street Specific Plan (FSSP), bicycle fitness training
with outdoor fitness training is not a listed use in the Commercial as Primary
land use designation and requires a use determination by the Planning
Commission as stated in Section III C (6) of the FSSP.
C.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for Use
Determination 04-001 in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit 04-002 on

D.
The Planning Commission finds that approval of a use determination to
allow bicycle fitness training with accessory outdoor stationary bicycle
training as a conditionally permitted use in the First Street Specific Plan,
Commercial as Primary Use designation can be supported by the following
findings:
1)
The proposed use is consistent with the overall intent of the
Commercial as Primary Use designation for Sub-area 2 of the First
Street Specific Plan, which is to maintain and perpetuate a mix of
commercial uses.
2)
The proposed use is consistent with other listed uses with the
Commercial designation in that bicycle training classes would be
similar to other conditionally permitted assembly uses in the First
Street Specific Plan, such as martial arts studios and driver training
facilities.
Resolution No. 3932
September 27, 2004

3)
The outdoor training component is intended to be accessory to the
primary indoor fitness training use and be limited to the outdoor
placement of stationary training bicycles during infrequent and
temporary class periods.
4)
As typically required for classroom or training facilities throughout the
City, the proposed training facility would be required to provide one
(1) parking space per (3) three students and one (1) parking space
per instructor to ensure sufficient parking.
5)
To ensure compatibility, proposals would be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis and subject to the conditional use permit process and
public noticing requirements.
E.
That this project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (Class
1) of the California Environmental Quality Act.
II.
The Planning commission hereby approves Use Determination 04-001 to allow
bicycle fitness training with accessory outdoor stationary bicycle training as a
conditionally permitted use in the Commercial as Primary District of the First
Street Specific Plan with a minimum of one (1) parking space for every three (3)
students and one (1) parking space per instructor.

FROM SEPTEMBER TO APRIL AT 115 N. PROSPECT
AVENUE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
A proper application, Conditional Use Permit 04-002, was filed by
Santiago Cycling (Robert Kahler and Jill Koval-Kahler), requesting
authorization to establish an indoor and outdoor bicycle fitness
training facility, at an existing 2,640 square foot bicycle sales and
repair shop at 115 N. Prospect Avenue within the Commercial land
use designation of First Street Specific Plan and the Planned
Community Commercial/Business General Plan land use
designation.
B.
The General Plan Planned Community Commercial/Business land
use designation provides for a variety of commercial uses, including
instructional facilities. 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.
According to Use Determination 04-001, approved by the Planning
Commission on September 27, 2004, on-site bicycle fitness training
with accessory outdoor stationary bicycle training is conditionally
permitted in the Commercial as Primary Use designation of the First
Street Specific Plan (FSSP).
D.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for Use
Determination 04-001 and Conditional Use Permit 04-002 on
September 27,2004, by the Planning Commission.
E.
That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed
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

p.m. on two nights each week between September 1 and April
30. The number of instructors and students and scope of
operations for the proposed facility can be supported by the
on-site facilities and, as conditioned, would be compatible with
the uses on the surrounding commercial properties.
The outdoor training component would be limited to twelve
(12) stationary bicycles on the sidewalk in front of the bicycle
store only, no outdoor speakers or public address system
would be allowed, and pedestrian and disabled access across
the sidewalk would be provided.
The proposed use is not anticipated to result in parking
impacts since the total number of instructors and students in
the classes would be limited to the available on-site parking
by providing one (1) space for every three (3) students and
one (1) space per instructor, which is the typical ratio used for
classroom and training facilities throughout the City. In
addition, the property owner and operator would be required
to ensure that all parking related to the use occurs in
designated parking spaces on the property and does not
encroach into adjacent properties or on the public right-of-
