APPROVAL AUTHORITY: Section 9270b3. of the Tustin City Code (TCC) requires Planning Commission approval of a CUP for temporary uses for a period longer than one (1) year. The applicant proposes to continue the placement of the MRI trailer for hospital use until a permanent facility is constructed within the existing hospital for a period no longer that two (2) years. BACKGROUND: Site and Location The site is located in the Public and Institutional (P&I) zoning district developed with an existing four-story medical office building fronting Newport Avenue and a 171 bed hospital facility (Foothill Regional Medical Center) to the rear (Attachment A). Commercial properties are located to the north and southeast with residential uses surrounding the site. iI Y k 14642-14662 Newport Avenue a Al u., 7 r a tar h Figure 1 - Aerial Planning Commission Report February 12, 2019 Conditional Use Permit 2018-00016 Page 3 DISCUSSION: The temporary placement of the 408-square-foot mobile MRI trailer adjacent to the hospital facility was approved with a Temporary Use Permit, which was valid from September 27, 2017 through September 27, 2018. During the one (1) year period, the applicant submitted a CUP application to extend the temporary use for an additional two (2) years. The applicant is proposing to have the mobile MRI trailer in place for an additional period of two (2) years, during which time a permanent facility will be constructed within the existing hospital facility. The mobile MRI trailer is located in the medical parking lot adjacent to the hospital, and is situated horizontally in seven (7) parking spaces. It is screened from view by the parkway landscaping along Newport Avenue and the parking lot. A stairway and wheelchair lift are attached to the side of the trailer for patient access. On November 5, 1984, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. 84-16 for the construction of a 57,563-square-foot four-story medical office building. As part of the approval, a parking count survey was submitted to indicate a parking surplus of thirty-seven (37) parking spaces. No major modifications have been done to the site since this approval. The mobile MRI facility operates Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. by appointment only. There will be one (1) employee operating the mobile MRC facility. The hospital facility also utilizes the mobile MRI facility as needed for emergency purposes during and outside of normal operating hours. FINDINGS: In determining whether to approve the CUP for the long-term temporary placement of a mobile MR1 trailer at an existing medical office building and hospital, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, 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. A decision to approve this request may be supported by the following findings: 1. The site is suitable and adequate for the proposed use because it is an existing medical property, which can accommodate the mobile MRI trailer. 2. The mobile MRI trailer would not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons residing in the immediate vicinity, the neighborhood or the community at large because the use is entirely within the trailer and is screened from view from the public right-of-way. Planning Commission Report February 12, 2019 Conditional Use Permit 2018-00016 Page 4 3. The mobile MRI trailer is temporary while the permanent use is constructed within the building. The trailer will be removed upon permanent construction or the expiration date (February 12, 2021). Jessi6a"-AguiV Elizabeth A.
