The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. 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. B. 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 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 neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that: C. 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. Exterior materials and colors. Type and pitch of roofs. Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings. Resolution No. 3934 Page 3 E. 6. Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flagpoles, radio and television antennae. Location, height, and standards of exterior illumination. Landscaping, parking area design, and traffic circulation. Location and appearance of equipment located outside an enclosed structure. Location and method of refuse storage. Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in the neighborhood. Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to existing structures and possible future structures in the neighborhood and public thoroughfares. Proposed signage. Development Guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City Council. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. The project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32) of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Planning Commission hereby approves Design Review 03-017 and Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 99-018 to construct a permanent 7,076 square foot, two-story building, including preschool and elementary school classrooms and administration offices, and 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, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A attached hereto.
