Background and Record of Action On April 9, 2018, the Code Enforcement Division was made aware of a possible garage conversion and illegal construction at 525 West Second Street. In response, the following are records of action to date regarding the violations observed at the property: May 22, 2018: A Request to Inspect letter was mailed to the,property owners. July 2, 2018: The City inspected the property and illegal construction was confirmed.The unpermitted construction included the following: Detached garage than was illegally converted into a living unit (Figure 2); • 334-square-foot addition on the northwest comer of the main house; • 120-square-foot shed with electrical; • Recent model roof-mounted air A1C unit (Figures 4 and 5); • Tank-less water heater(Figure 7); and • Water softener(Figure 7). Agenda Report July 9, 2019 Appeal Request Page 3 The illegal garage conversion included the following unpermitted construction and safety issues: • Improper electrical line from the back of the main house to the detached garage; • Ungrounded 3-prong electrical outlet on the southwest comer of the illegal bedroom; • New window with non-tempered glass on the southwest elevation with a sill height of 14-inches; • No exhaust vent above the microwave and gas stove; and • Recessed lighting in the bedroom and living room installed by the current property owners. July 12, 2018: A Notice of Violation was issued directing the property owners to submit plans into Building Division Plan Check to permit the unpermitted work (Code Case No. CE-2018-0243).

Additional work includes restoring the illegal living unit back to a 573 square-foot detached two-vehicle garage. A bathroom addition to the front of the house was also added to the permit (Permit No. COMBR-2018-00299). October 18, 2018: Plan corrections were picked up along with a drafted Deed Restriction from the Planning Division. The Planning Division required a deed restriction to be recorded to the property due to various code violations, subsequent Code Enforcement action, and expenditure of City resources to gain compliance of the unpermitted construction.

Plans exhibiting no .corrections made were last resubmitted to Building Division. April 15, 2019: The property owners, Helen Lindgren and Erik - Lindgren, appealed Planning Division requirements and corrections for once Permit No. COMBR-2018-00299 (Attachment B). Project Site The site is in the Single Family Residential (R1) zoning designation and is within the Cultural Resource Overlay District (CR). The General Plan Land Use Designation is Low Density Residential (LDR). The project site is located on the north side of West Second Street, which is a residential neighborhood east of Pacific Street and west of South A Street. Surrounding properties to the east, south, and west are single family residences that all within the R1 and CR districts. The property to the north is a multifamily development and is zoned Planned Development(Pb). Agertida Report July 9, 2019 Appeal Request Page 5 M... ir ail�lll y M Detached garage . Unpermitted addition to the main house I ,. J = ; p . woo—W VIM- 11 4 �+- Figure 1- Site Plan West Second street is a single-family residential neighborhood in the CR Overlay District. One of the purposes of the CR District is to safeguard the heritage of the City by preserving neighborhoods that reflect elements of the City's cultural and architectural heritage. The City utilizes design review oversight when reviewing projects to ensure quality design and compatibility with the building and neighborhood in question. ANALYSIS Deed Restriction Policy Appeal 1 : The Appellants have appealed the Plannin Division requirement of a recorded Deed Restriction prior to permit issuance (Attachment B). Community Development Department policy requires a recorded deed restriction for entitlements and building permit applications when the proposed improvements include, but are not limited to, the following: illegal garage conversions, granny units, additions that may result in additional garage space, affordable housing, shared access or parking, etc. A recorded deed restriction is used as a tool to inform future property owners of any restrictions applicable to the subject property. This tool is also used when the City Agenda Report July 9, 2019 Appeal Request Page 6 observes repeat violations on a property and the recorded deed restriction gives the City the right of entry to inspect the property upon notice should the City observe future violations or to respond to complaints. Horrific events, some highlighted in the news, have occurred involving unpermitted and uninspected living area that has resulted in death. In 2016, a fire broke in an Oakland warehouse known as"Ghost Ship",which included living areas, that killed 36-people. The illegal,electrical work and makeshift rooms and stairways resulted in a lethal combination that did not account for fire safety or escape routes. Locally in 2010, the City of Long Beach passed "Aviles Law" in response to the deaths of three (3) children that lost their lives in a fire while sleeping in a garage that had been illegally converted into an apartment. The unpermitted conversion did not account for smoke detectors, an escape route, heating, and included multiple additional Building and Fire Code violations. Following this event, the City of Long Beach drafted a municipal code amendment, known as Aviles Law, to educate the public of the dangers of the illegal garage conversions and to identify and eliminate the use of illegally converted garages as livings spaces. The property owners indicated that the illegal living unit was present since the home was purchased from the previous property owner in 1974. According to latest Orange County Assessor's records, the property is listed as a single-family residence; therefore, the subject property has not been taxed for the illegal second unit and the addition to the main house. No school fees have been assessed and no associated utility and/or infrastructure fees have been made. if a recorded deed:restriction had existed at the time of purchase, the current property owners would have been on notice that the property did not have a legal second living unit and would be aware of the use restrictions. As a result of Code Case No. CE-2018-0243, which involved extensive illegal construction, the City is requiring a recorded deed restriction with the associated Permit w No. COMBR-2018-00299 to prevent a repeat occurrence and inform future property owners. The Director's decision regarding the modified, current Deed Restriction and the previously drafted Deed Restriction, dated April 8, 2019, is included as Attachment A. The Appellants' written appeal, dated April 15, 2019, is included as Attachment B. The Appellants have stated the following implicit concerns with the drafted Deed Restriction and staff responses are provided below: 1. Appellants' Concern: Unannounced and "illegal" search of the subject property. The Appellants' architect indicated that they would only allow inspections during the permitting process and that this provision should terminate after permit and works have been signed off. City's Response: A recorded deed restriction is a precautionary tool used in instances of repeat violations. If a complaint or suspicion of further illegal construction is made at the subject property, the recorded Deed Restriction would allow the City to inspect the property. However, an inspection would not Agenda Report July 9, 2019 Appeal Request Page 7 be made without proper notice, in this case at least 48-hours' notice before entry, except in emergency situations. 2. Appellants' Concern: There is no sunset clause. The Deed Restriction would apply indefinitely. City's Response: The recorded Deed Restriction would be applicable until such time that the City finds that enforcement of such condition is no longer equitable unless permits are issued for a legal accessory dwelling unit and/or guest quarters. 3. Appellants' Concern: Future owners will have to adhere to the recorded Deed Restriction. City's Response: Yes, current and future property owners would adhere and abide to the restrictions contained in the recorded documents unless the City decides that the restrictions are no longer applicable to the property (See City Response No. 2). 4. Appellants Concern: The Deed Restrictions would impact property value. City's Response: The City does not have any records that indicates a recorded deed restriction would impact property value. On the contrary, a recorded deed restriction is a tool for future buyers to understand what is permitted and/or restricted on the property. On-Site Parking Requirements (Garage Dimension) The Appellants have appealed the Planning Division correction to convert the detached -garage into a standard 20 feet by 20 feet two-vehicle QaraQe (Figures 2 and 3) Two (2) parking spaces within a fully enclosed garage 'are required for single-family housing for each unit with four(4) or fewer bedrooms. Pursuant to TCC Section 9266(d), minimum interior dimensions of a residential garage space shall be a minimum of twenty (20) feet by ten (10) feet for each space, resulting in a minimum interior dimension requirement of twenty (20) feet by twenty (20) feet clear. Garages that do not meet the number of enclosed parking spaces or the minimum interior dimensions are considered nonconforming structures. Pursuant to TCC Section 9273(b)(1), any lawfully established structure which is legal nonconforming either in use, design, or arrangement, shall not be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered unless such enlargement, extension, reconstruction, or alteration is in compliance with the regulations set forth in the TCC.

From aerial photographs and Orange County Assessor's Office data collection, the City has determined that the subject 573-square-foot detached structure was previously a garage. From the roof form and construction, it is evident that this structure may have been constructed as a two-vehicle garage that was later illegally expanded and converted into a living unit. As the garage was enlarged and reconstructed, the structure lost its legal nonconforming status and must meet the on-site parking standard for single-family residences, which is two (2) parking spaces, twenty (20) feet by twenty (20) feet clear, within a fully enclosed garage. The applicant has submitted plans that demonstrate minor alterations to the garage that would achieve the twenty (20) foot by twenty (20) foot minimum standards for a two-vehicle garage (Figure 3). Equipment Screening The Appellants have appealed the Planning Division correction to screen the roof- mounted air conditioning unit (Figures 4 and 5). When reviewing new applications for mechanical equipment on single-family residences, the City encourages the units to be installed on the ground at the rear of the residence. Agenda Report July 9, 2019 Appeal Request Page 10 In situations where this is not ideal, the Planning Division will consider placement in the side yard if the nearest window or door opening on the adjacent neighbor's residence is at least ten (10) feet away from the proposed equipment. In addition to the ten (10) separation, the City enforces exterior noise standards pursuant to TCC Section 4614. Roof-mounted mechanical equipment is strongly discouraged because of visual blight to the neighborhood as it typically cannot be attractively screened from view. This is particularly critical in the CR district, in which the subject property is located, because the City strives to maintain the integrity of historic resources and the area as a whole. A situation where roof-mounted mechanical equipment is allowed would be in new construction in which the mechanical equipment is pre-planned. This would typically involve integrated construction of a roof parapet that would screen the mechanical equipment or on a roof equipped with a mechanical well. Generally, roof-mounted equipment is commonly seen on multifamily, commercial, and industrial development. in such cases, roof-mounted mechanical equipment is fully screened from view. Pursuant to TCC Section 9271(ii), equipment screening is required in the event of roof- mounted equipment. Additionally, the screening element must appear visually integrated with the architecture of the building. IExposed A/C Unit UZI Figure 4- Front Elevation with Roof-Mounted Mechanical Equipment Agenda Report July 9, 2019 Appeal Request Page 11 lt4'` lfffffff 111 I Y l 1 II}} r ena - 1 Figure 5- Rear Elevation Mechanical Equipment The subject property features an unpermitted A1C unit and ducting in plain view of the street (Figures 4 and 5). Permitting this equipment will result in permanent visual blight for the foreseeable future as replacement equipment would likely be located in the same place unless the property owner elects to ground-mount the equipment. If the property owners had come to the City for original permitting, the City would not have permitted any mechanical equipment on the roof. In the current situation, the City has been working with the current property owners to allow the mechanical equipment to remain with equipment screening pursuant to TCC Section 9271(ii). The City had previously agreed to allow the A1C unit to remain on the roof, provided that the A1C unit is screened to mimic the existing stucco chimney (Figure 4). Staff feels that this is a compromised approach in meeting the TCC. The applicant in response submitted equipment screening plans that staff has agreed upon. The method of screening the AIC unit proposed by the applicant is shown in Figure 6; however, the applicant has now contested the requirement for screening in their appeal letter. p rrie;VT, WOMOpparr ra tiwru+ D457 Sr,CGO A/C R.GrWFi NN QV &L SM � O p.6r oASRIkM ——————— — =W A/G MF !

The subject property features an unpermitted tankless water heater and water softener (Figure 7). These types of equipment are typically installed inside a building or structure, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for weather protection. While the tankless water heater does not have to be screened, Staff had required equipment screening of the adjacent water softener. Upon further review of the location of the water softener and the fact that this equipment is blocked from the street-view by a 6-foot high fence. Staff is removing this condition from the Planning Division corrections for Permit No. COMBR-2018-0299.

PLEASE ATTACH THE APPROPRIATE ACKNOWLEDGMENT.) 3 ATTACHMENT B APPELLANTS' WRITTEN APPEAL RECEIVED CommunityPlanning Department APR, ZQ�9 Ms Elizabeth Binsack COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 300 Centennial Way t3Y, Tustin,CA 92780 April 10,2019 Re:525 West 2"d Street,Tustin,92780 Appeal Planning Department Letter Ms,Elizabeth Binsack, on behalf of Hellen and Erik Lindgren I am writing this letter to Inform the City of Tustin the following: The proposed conditions Imposed set forth by the Declarations of Covenants Conditions Restrictions are arbitrary,unrelated,and unnecessaryto achieve the underlying permit violations. The City's effort and City's exercising undue force and the conditions are unwarranted. The City's techniques are not supported by case law and by typical compliance issues. Continuously during this process,we have objected to the DCCR. We have put forth numerous attempts to suggest more reasonable outcome but have met continuous opposition from the City. DCCR suggested by the City are usurious and not justlfied.at any level. We have attempted to meet and or telephonically communicate with the City and have been rebuffed and denied access. The City has an arbitrary condition of screening the air conditioning andAuct work on the roof. This Is not supported by the community or necessary to achieve a good architectural solution. The neighbors have all signed petitions supporting the Lindgren's not having to do this work. The City's position is not supported by the comm unity therefore we are proposing that this condition be removed from the planning department's obligation in this instance. The city has imposed a condition to screen the existing tankless water heater and water softener on a side yard that is not visible from the street nor the neighboring property. This condition is again is not supported by the building department's obligation to obtain retroactive permits. I I The City Is Imposing a criterion to make the garage a 20'by 20'clear when the existing garage is 197'by 20' clear. This condition can be overlooked and should be overlooked In this instance because it is causing significant financial harm with no public benefit, These collective modifications that we are seeking from the Planning Commission should have been dealt with face to face or by telephonic communications but the City's use of levying the fines and the use of creating artificial timellnes to 1 impose their will on the property owner are unfair and unjust We would appreciate some consideration from the planning,commisslon In support of our efforts to bring the property Into compliance. The City has been causing ugnecessary delays in our effort to commence construction because of the City's lack of cooperation and forced the Issue of us filing this appeal. Please find a check for$175,00 for filing an appeal to the City Planning Commission. If you have any questions,please contact Erik Lindgren at 714-390-8031.

CE-2018-0243 AND PERMIT NO. COMBR- 2018-00299 FOR THE PROPERTY AT 525 WEST SECOND STREET The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper request was submitted by property owners, Helen Lindgren and Erik Lindgren, requesting to appeal the Community Director's decision to require a recorded deed restriction in association with illegal conversion of a detached garage into a living unit. In addition, the appeal states opposition to the required twenty(20) feet by twenty (20) feet interior garage dimensions and the requirement of rooftop and side yard mechanical screening. B. That, on July 2, 2018, the City inspected 525 West 'Second Street and illegal construction was confirmed (Code Case No. CE-2018-0243). The unpermitted construction included the following: a 573-square-foot detached garage that was illegally converted into a living unit, a 334-square-foot addition on the northwest comer of the main house, a 120-square-foot shed with electrical, a recent model roof-mounted air conditioning (A1C) unit, a tank-less water heater, and a water softener. The illegal garage conversion included the following unpermitted construction and safety issues: an improper electrical line from the back of the main house to the converted, detached garage, ungrounded 3-prong electrical outlet on the southwest corner of the illegal bedroom, new window with non-tempered glass on the southwest elevation with a sill height of 14-inches, no exhaust vent above the microwave and gas stove, and recessed lighting in the bedroom and living room installed by the current property owners. C. That, on September 20, 2018, plans were submitted to Building Division Plan Check to legalize the following: a 334 square-foot addition to the rear of the main house, roof-mounted AIC unit, tank-less water heater, and water softener (Permit No. COMBR-2018-00299). Additional work included restoring the illegal living unit back to a 573 square-foot detached two-vehicle garage. A bathroom addition to the front of the house was also added to the permit. D. That the requirement of a recorded deed restriction prior to permit issuance is a Community Development Department policy. The requirement is necessary for ensure the properly remains as permitted and discourages repeat violations. In upholding this requirement, the Planning Commission has considered at least the following items: Resolution No. 4387 Page 2 1) Community Development Department policy requires a recorded deed- restriction for entitlements and building permit applications when the City observes repeat violations on a property. The City is requiring a recorded deed restriction for 525 West Second Street due to construction of an illegal living unit, addition to the home, and installation of equipment without proper permits. 2) The recorded Deed Restriction would allow the City the right of entry to inspect the property upon notice should the City observe future violations or respond to complaints. The City-would provide proper notice of at least 48-hours prior to.inspections. 3) The recorded deed restriction would provide future owners with information related to permitted construction and/or restrictions applicable to the property. 4) The deed restriction would be applicable until such time that the City finds that enforcement of such condition is no longer equitable unless permits are issued for a legal accessory dwelling unit and/or guest quarter. E. That the plan check correction to require a two-vehicle garage that has minimum interior dimensions of twenty(20)feet by twenty(20)feet is required by the TCC. In upholding this code requirement, the Planning Commission has considered at least the following items: 1) Pursuant to TCC Sections 9263(8) and 9266(d), two (2) parking spaces within a fully enclosed garage is required for single-family housing for each unit with four (4) or fewer bedrooms with minimum interior dimensions of twenty (20) feet by ten (10)feet for each space. 2) Pursuant to TCC Section 9273(b)(1), any lawfully established structure which is Iegal nonconforming either in use, design,or arrangement, shall not be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered unless such enlargement, reconstruction, or alteration is in compliance with TCC. F: That the plan,check correction to screen the roof-mounted A/C unit is supported by design review and development standards in the TCC. That the location, size, and general appearance of the mechanical equipment was considered. In making such findings, the Planning Commission has considered at least the following items: 1) Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9271(ii), equipment screening is required in the event of roof-mounted equipment. The screening element must appear visually integrated with the architecture of the building. 2) West Second street is a single-family residential neighborhood in the Cultural Resources (CR) Overlay District. Allowing roof top equipment without proper screening is in contrary to the goals and objective of the CR District which is to maintain the integrity of the historic resources and the area as a whole Resolution No. 4387 Page 3 3) The requirement to screen the rooftop A1C unit to mimic a chimney is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Design Review provision of the TCC. G. That the plan check correction to screen the water softener in the side yard has been reconsidered because the location of the equipment is not visible from public view. The permit correction will be revised to, permit the applicant to maintain the tankless water heater and the water softener at their current location without any screening. H. That a public hearing on the matter was duly called, noticed, and held,for said appeal on June 11, 2019, by the Planning Commission. 1. That the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to the Planning_ Commission meeting of July 9, 2019. J. That the appeal is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301(e) of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act); ll.
