BACKGROUND
The earliest City records indicate that the following buildings and uses existed on the 4.77
acre parcel at 1301 Sycamore Avenue on January 7, 1964 when the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 245 and annexed the property to the City:
. A 12,169 square foot St. Cecilia Church building and associated assembly use;
. An 18,874 square foot preschool to eighth grade school building for instructional
use; and,
. A 7,481 square foot preschool to eighth grade school building for instructional use.
On August 25, 1975, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1462 approving
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 75-18 for the construction of a 7,664 square foot parish hall.
On December 13, 1993, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3211
approving CUP 93-031 for the temporary placement and use of a 2,490 square foot
modular classroom building on the property until December 13, 2000. The modular
classroom remains on the property, and the applicant is requesting that it be allowed to
remain permanently.
The property is located in the Public and Institutional Zoning District where churches and
schools are conditionally permitted uses. The Public and Institutional Zoning District
states "the development standards and requirements for development and changes in
use shall be those contained in the general section of the zoning ordinance and as
specified and approved by the Planning Commission as conditions of the use permit"
The Planning Commission has the authority to consider conditional use permits while
the Community Development Director has the authority to consider design review
applications. The Director has deferred the design review to the Planning Commission
for concurrent consideration with the conditional use permit
Site and Surroundina Properties
The site is located on the northerly side of Sycamore Avenue between Newport and Red
Hill Avenues. Surrounding uses include two-story single-family residential dwellings to the
west, multiple-family residential dwellings to the north and east, and the AG. Currie Middle
School and Jeane Thorman Elementary School to the south across Sycamore Avenue.
Project Description
Proposed Building
The applicant is proposing to construct a 5,950 square foot two-story building to
accommodate administrative offices and meeting rooms to serve St. Cecilia Church. The
existing school will use the building. The proposed building will function with 1,603
square feet of meeting room area, 2,423 square feet of offices, and the remaining 1,924

square feet dedicated to restrooms, corridors, and storage which is considered office
support space and calculated at the office rate for parking requirement purposes.
The building will be located twelve (12) feet west of the parish hall, 110 feet east of
Sycamore Avenue, ten and one half (10.5) feet south of the north property line abutting
the rear yards of single family dwellings, and approximately thirty (30) feet north of the
Church. The building would be placed in an area with existing landscaping and four (4)
disabled parking spaces. Some of the removed landscaping will be replaced around the
perimeter of the building and the four (4) parking spaces will be replaced west of the
proposed building adjacent to where they are currently located. Overall, the site will
continue to retain sixteen (16) percent landscaping.
The building will be rectangular with a flat roof and approximately thirty (30) feet tall, which
is consistent with the height of the existing parish hall and Church. The building would be
constructed primarily of orange brick which is consistent with brick on the existing
adjacent Church and parish hall buildings. The secondary exterior building material
would be a cream-color rough plaster. Windows would be framed in brown anodized
aluminum and the glass would contain a bronze non reflective tint.
The west building elevation that faces onto Sycamore Avenue would be broken by a
stucco step-like protrusion that encloses an interior stairwell. The east building
elevation that faces the parish hall would contain elevation relief by adding brick in
Flemish bond with a protruding header. The south building elevation that faces the
Church would be entirely brick. The north building elevation that faces the single family
residences would primarily be treated with rough plaster. To provide privacy for the
adjacent residences, Condition 4.1 would require the applicant to install a sufficient
amount of appropriate landscape screening between the building and the residences to
the north. In addition, Condition 3.1 would require the applicant to install translucent
second story windows on the north building elevation.
Modular Classroom
The applicant is also requesting to permanently use an existing forty-one and one-half
(41.5) by sixty (60) foot, 2,490 square foot, one-story, prefabricated, modular building
for classrooms. The building is approximately 11 feet tall. As indicated in the
background section of the report, this building was only allowed temporarily. The
modular building is proposed to remain at its existing location forty (40) feet east of the
Church and twenty (20) feet south of the parish hall. This location is not readily visible
from Sycamore Avenue since it is located behind the Church building and to the side of
a row of regularly spaced dense trees. The building is not visible to the residences to
the west because it is obscured by the parish hall.
The building is a flat-roof rectilinear structure constructed of cream color synthetic siding
that presents a rough trowel finish. The six windows are bronze glass in an aluminum

frame and the doors are brown within a bronze metal frame. A covered walkway exists
over the sidewalk connected to the building on the west elevation. The covered
walkway consists of wood support beams attached to a corrugated sheet metal cover.
A dense row of regularly spaces trees partially screens building on the north, south, and
west elevations.
Modular classroom buildings are regulated by the State of California, Division of the State
Architect, who provides certification of a modular classroom plan. Once the plan is
certified and a modular unit is constructed to plans, subsequent permitting is all that is
required from the state. The existing modular would have received approval from the state
at the time it was placed on the property. However, the Building and Safety Division will
require disabled access if it does not already exist per Condition 2.2.
For all existing and proposed buildings, the total floor area ratio of the site will be twenty
three (23) percent which is within the acceptable twenty (20) to sixty (60) percent range
established in the General Plan Land Use Element for the zoning district.
Parkina
The site will continue to maintain 227 parking spaces. The Church requires 219.67
parking spaces. Based on previous entitlements, the existing parish hall and Church
offices are considered to be accessory uses to the Church because they operate at the
same time as the Church and because sufficient on-site parking exists for the Church. A
summary of parking spaces for the existing Church, parish hall, and Church offices is
provided as follows:
Existin Church
Existing Parish Hall
With Offices
Existing Church
Offices
1/3 seats for 659 seats 219.67
Pursuant to previous entitlements, the parish hall is and has always
been considered an accessory use to the Church. No additional
parking spaces are required, but the parish hall may not operate at the
same time as the uses in Grou 2.
Pursuant to previous entitlements, the existing Church offices are and
have always been considered an accessory use to the Church. No
additional parking spaces are required, but the existing Church offices
may not operate at the same time as the uses in Group 2.

Total Provided 227
Sur Ius 7.33
As identified in CUP 93-031, the existing school maintains 330 students and 18 instructors
and requires 59.25 parking spaces. The proposed 5,950 square foot Church office and
meeting room building would require 53.06 parking spaces, which would be available on-
site when Church assembly is not occurring. A summary of parking required for the

Sur Ius 114.69
Pursuant to Condition 5.5, the uses indicated in Groups 1 and 2 may not occur at the
same time so that parking demand will not exceed that which is supplied. Therefore, the
proposed Church building and the existing school would require a total of 113 parking
spaces. When Group 2 uses are operating, the site would maintain a parking space
surplus of 114.69 parking spaces.
The Engineering Division reviewed the project and determined that there will be no
additional weekday and weekend peak trip hours for the proposed permanent use of the
modular classroom. The proposed office/meeting room would generate 55 daily weekday
trips, four (4) of which would occur during a.m. and p.m. peak hours. On Sunday the
office/meeting room would generate an additional 220 daily trips and 60 peak hour trips if it
were in use. However, as previously discussed, the office/meeting room may not be used
at the same time as the Church to ensure that parking supply does not exceed demand.
Therefore, no additional Sunday trips should result. The Engineering Division states that
the net increase in traffic at the project site during the weekday a.m. or p.m. peak hours
and/or Sunday peak hour is not anticipated to generate significant traffic impacts. Based
upon the projected traffic and the adjacent street system, it has been determined there is
sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed project. If in the future the City
determines that a parking or traffic problem exists, Condition 5.3 would require the
applicant to provide mitigation measures approved by the Community Development
Department.

ANAL YSIS
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
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 can be supported by the following findings:
1 )
That operation of additional Church offices and meeting rooms and the continued
operation of a modular classroom, as conditioned, will not 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, as evidenced by the following findings:
a) The proposal is consistent with the Public and Institutional Zoning District
standards in that religious assembly, schools, and school administrative offices
require a conditional use permit and the development standards are determined
through the conditional use permit and design review process by the plans
approved by the Planning Commission. The uses are appropriate under
General Plan Land Use Element Public/lnstitutional designation in that the
school and Church function as quasi-public uses.
b) The project maintains all legal non-conforming rights (establishment of the
Church and school without a CUP prior to annexation) and is consistent with
prior conditions of approval for the parish hall under CUP 75-18. While
additional square footage is being proposed, no new uses are being added to
the site in that a school currently exists on the property and the use of the
modular classroom will be for the school. Church offices and meeting rooms
currently exist in the parish hall, and the proposed Church offices and
meeting rooms will continue to support the Church.
c) Sufficient parking would be available for the 5,950 square foot Church office and
meeting room use since, pursuant to Condition 5.5, Church assembly in the
worship or parish hall would not be operating at the same time as the school,
Church offices, and Church meeting room.
d) The continued use of the modular classroom would not increase parking/traffic
demand because required parking spaces are currently provided on-site, and
no increase in students or teachers is requested or approved under CUP 04-
011 and DR 04-009.

e) As determined by the Public Works Engineering Division, the net increase in
traffic at the project site during the weekday a.m. or p.m. peak hours and/or
Sunday peak hour is not anticipated to generate significant traffic impacts, and
there is sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed project.
f) Pursuant to Condition 5.4, all activities associated with CUP 04-011 and DR
04-009 are required to take place within the buildings.
g) The project would be compatible with adjacent uses in that a block wall
surrounds the 4.77 acre property, the property would maintain a floor area
ratio of twenty-three (23) percent which is lower than the sixty (60) percent
maximum General Plan floor area ratio for the site, the proposed building will
be setback ten and one-half (10.5) feet from the residential property to the
north, will be setback in excess of fifty (50) feet from Sycamore Avenue, and
pursuant to Conditions 3.1 and 4.3, landscaping and window treatments on
the north elevation of the building shall mitigate intrusion to privacy into the
adjacent residential yards and shall obstruct direct views of the building. The
modular classroom building is surrounded by the Church to the west, the
parish hall to the north, existing school classroom buildings to the east, and a
row of trees to the south. As a result, the building is buffered from view to
uses off the property. As conditioned, all uses under the subject entitlements
must occur inside their respective buildings.
h) Increased pedestrian activity to the site as a result of the project will be
accommodated in that the applicant and/or property owner would be required
to provide sidewalk and drive aprons along Sycamore Avenue in front of the
project property that are constructed to meet current Federal Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
i) Pursuant to Section 9272(c) of the Tustin City Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and general
appearance of the proposal will not impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development therein, or the
occupancy as a whole. In making such findings, the Planning Commission
finds that the mass and appearance of the project will not impair the orderly
and harmonious development of the area, the present or future development
therein, or the occupancy as a whole and has considered at least the
following items:
1.
Height, bulk, and area of buildings: The thirty (30) foot height of the
new building is consistent with the maximum height allowed for a
single family dwelling and the modular classroom shall remain at
under twelve (12) feet. Therefore, the height is appropriate for a
quasi-public building that is adjacent to residential buildings.
Planning Commission Report
CUP 04-011 and DR 04-009
October 25, 2004

2.
Furthermore, the Church and parish hall are of corresponding
heights to the new building. The size of the buildings is less than
existing on-site buildings and the overall floor area ratio is twenty
three (23) percent which is within the range allowed by the General
Plan.
Setbacks and site planning: Setbacks are adequate for the project in
that the new office/meeting room building is setback in excess of fifty
(50) feet from Sycamore Avenue, is setback ten and one-half (10.5)
feet from the side property line, maintains the same line as the existing
parish hall first story setback, and the proximity of the second story to
the property line shared with the single family residences is mitigated
with translucent windows and landscaping. The modular classroom
will remain in its existing location distanced thirty (30) feet behind the
Church and twenty (20) feet south of the parish hall toward the center
of the property. The modular building is buffered from view from
Sycamore Avenue because it is behind the Church and the south
elevation is screened by a dense cluster of regularly spaced trees.
Exterior materials and colors: The project colors and materials would
be consistent with existing on-site development as described in Item
No.8.
Type and pitch of roofs: Both buildings exhibit flat roofs which is
consistent with other on-site buildings.
Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings: The
windows and doors of the proposed and existing buildings are
consistent with those on buildings that exist on the property. All
windows and doors to be constructed shall be in compliance with City
building code standards.
Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flag poles, radio and television
antennae: None of these additions are proposed.
Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in
the neighborhood: The structures are adequately located on the
property and will provide for privacy on adjacent properties as
described in Item No.2.
Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to existing
structures and possible future structures in the neighborhood and
public thoroughfares: Design of the new building includes orange
brick, cream-colored rough plaster, bronze tint windows, and brown
anodized window frames, all of which are consistent with the building
materials existing on the Church and parish hall. The modular
classroom building exhibits cream color synthetic siding with a faux
rough trowel finish. The building color matches the stucco on the
proposed building, accents on the parish hall, and the existing school
classroom buildings. The modular building's bronze tint windows,
brown framing, and brown doors are also consistent with trim colors on
the existing buildings.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 3935
RESOLUTION NO. 3935
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 04-011 AND
DESIGN - REVIEW 04-009 FOR THE CONTINUED USE OF A 2,490
SQUARE FOOT TEMPORARILY PERMITTED MODULAR BUILDING
AS A PERMANENT CLASSROOM BUILDING AND TO CONSTRUCT
A 5,950 SQUARE FOOT FREE-STANDING TWO-STORY CHURCH
OFFICE AND MEETING ROOM BUILDING AT 1301 SYCAMORE
AVENUE ALSO KNOWN AS THE NORTHWESTERLY HALF OF LOT
FIFTY IN BLOCK ELEVEN OF IRVINE'S SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A
That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit 04-011 and Design
Review 04-009 was filed by St. Cecilia Church requesting approval to use a
2,490 square foot temporarily permitted modular building as a permanent
classroom building and to construct a 5,950 square foot free-standing two-
story Church office and meeting room building.
B.
The proposed project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan
"Public/Institutional" designation which allows schools and churches. 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. The project complies with
the Public and Institutional (P&I) zoning district regulations because
schools and churches are conditionally permitted, as is requested. The
development standards would be established in the conditional use
permit.
C.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said
application on October 25,2004, by the Planning Commission;
D.
That operation of additional Church offices and meeting rooms and the
continued operation of a modular classroom, as conditioned, will not 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, as evidenced by the following findings:
a)
The proposal is consistent with the Public and Institutional Zoning
District standards in that religious assembly, schools, and school
administrative offices require a conditional use permit and the
development standards are determined through the conditional use
permit and design review process by the plans approved by the
Planning Commission. The uses are appropriate under General Plan
Resolution 3935
Page 2
Land Use Element Public/Institutional designation in that the school
and Church function as quasi-public uses.
b)
The project maintains all legal non-conforming rights (establishment
of the Church and school without a CUP prior to annexation) and is
consistent with prior conditions of approval for the parish hall under
CUP 75-18. While additional square footage is being proposed, no
new uses are being added to the site in that a school currently exists
on the property and the use of the modular classroom will be for the
school. Church offices and meeting rooms currently exist in the
parish hall and the proposed Church offices and meeting rooms will
continue to support the Church.
c)
Sufficient parking would be available for the 5,950 square foot Church
office and meeting room use since, pursuant to Condition 5.5, Church
assembly in the worship or parish hall would not be operating at the
same time as the school, Church offices, and Church meeting room.
d)
The continued use of the modular classroom would not increase
parking/traffic demand because required parking spaces are currently
provided on-site, and no increase in students or teachers is requested
or approved under CUP 04-011 and DR 04-009.
e)
As determined by the Public Works Engineering Division, the net
increase in traffic at the project site during the weekday a.m. or p.m.
peak hours and/or Sunday peak hour is not anticipated to generate
significant traffic impacts, and there is sufficient roadway capacity to
accommodate the proposed project.
f)
Pursuant to Condition 5.4, all activities associated with CUP 04-011
and DR 04-009 are required to take place within the buildings.
g)
The project would be compatible with adjacent uses in that a block
wall surrounds the 4.77 acre property, the property would maintain a
floor area ratio of twenty-three (23) percent which is lower than the
sixty (60) percent maximum General Plan floor area ratio for the site,
the proposed building will be setback ten and one-half (10.5) feet
from the residential property to the north, will be setback in excess of
fifty (50) feet from Sycamore Avenue, and pursuant to Conditions 3.1
and 4.3, landscaping and window treatments on the north elevation
of the building shall mitigate intrusion to privacy into the adjacent
residential yards and shall obstruct direct views of the building. The
modular classroom building is surrounded by the Church to the west,
the parish hall to the north, existing school classroom buildings to the
east, and a row of trees to the south. As a result, the building is
buffered from view to uses off the property. As conditioned, all uses
Resolution 3935
Page 3
under the subject entitlements must occur inside their respective
buildings.
h)
Increased pedestrian activity to the site as a result of the project will
be accommodated in that the applicant and/or property owner would
be required to provide sidewalk and drive aprons along Sycamore
Avenue in front of the project property that are constructed to meet
current Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
i)
Pursuant to Section 9272(c) of the Tustin City Code, the Planning
Commission finds that the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of the proposal will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, the present or future
development therein, or the occupancy as a whole. In making such
findings, the Planning Commission finds that the mass and
appearance of the project will not impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development therein,
or the occupancy as a whole and has considered at least the
following items:
1.
Height, bulk, and area of buildings: The thirty (30) foot height of
the new building is consistent with the maximum height allowed
for a single family dwelling and the modular classroom shall
remain at under twelve (12) feet. Therefore, the height is
appropriate for a quasi-public building that is adjacent to
residential buildings. Furthermore, the Church and parish hall
are of corresponding heights to the new building. The size of
the buildings is less than existing on-site buildings and the
overall floor area ratio is twenty three (23) percent which is
within the range allowed by the General Plan.
Setbacks and site planning: Setbacks are adequate for the
project in that the new office/meeting room building is setback in
excess of fifty (50) feet from Sycamore Avenue, is setback ten
and one-half (10.5) feet from the side property line, maintains
the same line as the existing parish hall first story setback, and
the proximity of the second story to the property line shared with
the single family residences is mitigated with translucent
windows and landscaping. The modular classroom will remain
in its existing location distanced thirty (30) feet behind the
Church and twenty (20) feet south of the parish hall toward the
center of the property. The modular building is buffered from
view from Sycamore Avenue because it is behind the Church
and the south elevation is screened by a dense cluster of
regularly spaced trees.
Exterior materials and colors: The project colors and materials
would be consistent with existing on-site development as
described in Item No.8.
2.
3.
Resolution 3935
Page 4
4.
