ORDINANCE NO. 1297
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, ADOPTING ZONE CHANGE 04-003 TO
PERMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF DETACHED CARRIAGE
WAY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNITS IN PLANNING
AREAS 4 AND 5 AND ESTABLISH RELATED
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND AMEND THE
REQUIREMENT FOR A 10-ACRE MINIMUM
DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR CONDOMINIUMS AND
MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGS IN MCAS TUSTIN
PLANNING AREA 4
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1.
FINDINGS
The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A.
That Moffett Meadows Partners, LLC submitted a proper application for
Specific Plan AmendmenUZone Change 04-003 to allow development of
detached carriage way single family dwelling units within Planning Areas 4
and 5 for the purpose of providing an alternative to the traditional single
family detached product without compromising the density and
development standards for single family residences and to allow
development of condominium projects on development sites that are less
than ten (10) acres.
B.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on January 24,2005, and continued to February 14, 2005, by
the Planning Commission.
C.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on February 7, 2005, and continued to February 22, 2005, by
the City Council.
D.
That Zone Change 04-003 would apply to Planning Areas 4 and 5 of the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan within the City of Tustin.
That the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan does not set forth standards for
"carriage way units" and the standards for carriage way units are proposed
as an alternative to the traditional single family detached product and are
accessed from a rear alley instead of a street, which provides for a neo-
traditional streetscape of residences with garages to the rear of the
residences. These types of single family detached units should be permitted

within Planning Areas 4 and 5 since the development standards would be
identical to those for single family detached units, with the exception of the
minimum rear yard setback, which would be reduced from ten (10) feet to
seven (7) feet for living space and three (3) feet for garage space since
access to the garage for these units would be located at the rear of the
property.
That the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan sets forth a minimum development
site size of ten (10) acres for condominiums and multiple family dwellings.
However, it is appropriate to allow condominiums and multiple family
developments to contain numerous lots or sites and be designated as a
development unit on a tentative map with a minimum development unit
size of eight (8) acres. A development unit, as defined by the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan, consists of all building sites, their private open space,
common recreation and open space areas, and public andlor private
streets serving the project. A minimum of eight (8) acres in a development
unit would ensure that these types of products are located in
developments of substantial size and will result in orderly, rather than
fragmented, development.
The proposed zone change supports and is consistent with the Tustin
General Plan. The Land Use Element includes the City's goals and
policies for the long-term growth, development, and revitalization of Tustin.
Based on the summary of issues, needs, opportunities, and constraints
described in the Tustin Land Use Element, ten goals are identified which
include the following:
1.
2.
3.
Achieve balanced development.
Ensure that compatible and complementary development occurs.
Revitalize older commercial, industrial, and residential
development.
Improve City-wide urban design.
Promote economic expansion and diversification.
Coordinate development with provision of adequate public facilities
and services.
Implement a reuse plan for MCAS Tustin which maximizes the
appeal of the site as a mixed-use, master planned development.
4.
5.
6.
7.
These goals establish the framework for policies related to allocation of
land use in the City and the implementation policies reflect the direction
and image the City seeks for the future. The proposed Zone Change
supports several General Plan goals and policies, including the following:
1.
The project will implement policies under the goal to achieve
balanced development including:
Ordinance No. 1297

2.
a.
Policy 1.10 - Ensure that the distribution and intensity of
land uses are consistent with the Land Use Plan and
classification system.
Policy 6.2 - Encourage and promote high quality design and
physical appearance in all development projects.
Policy 6.4 - Preserve and enhance the City's Special
residential character and "small town" quality by encouraging
and maintaining Tustin's low density residential
neighborhoods through enforcement of existing land use and
property development standards and the harmonious
blending of buildings and landscape.
b.
c.
The project will implement policies under the goals and policies for
future development of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan including:
a.
Policy 13.2 - Encourage a development pattern that offers a
connectedness between buildings and uses, and has a
strong sense of place through architectural styles and
creative landscape design.
Policy 13.5 - Promote high quality architecture, landscaping,
signage, open space design, circulation patterns, and
landscape patterns distinct from surrounding areas.
b.
Section 2. The City Council hereby adopts Zone Change (MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Amendment) 04-003 ("Zone Change") to amend Sections 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 of the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan to establish new development standards for carriage way
units in Planning Areas 4 and 5 and minimum development site for condominium units
in Planning Area 4 of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
Section 3.
SEVERABILITY
All of the provisions of this ordinance shall be construed together to accomplish the
purpose of the regulations. If any provision of this part is held by a court to be invalid or
unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall apply only to the particular
facts, or if a provision is declared to be invalid or unconstitutional as applied to all facts,
all of the remaining provisions of this ordinance shall continue to be fully effective.
