A new Gas Station at Tustin Ranch Costco
Date:
Thursday, October 10, 2019 2:01:02 PM
Dear Council Member:
I think having a new gas station at the Costco Tustin Ranch will be a great thing to happen.
It will relive the congestion at the current Costco at the District, Tustin.
The traffic around around the Gas Station at Tustin District Costco is terrible, even the lanes have been expended
this Summer.
I think the new Gas Station at Costco Tustin ranch will relieve traffic at Tustin District Costco, it will reduce wait
time to pump gas, and it will bring additional tax revenue to the City and the State.
I strongly support approving this new Tustin Ranch Costco gas station.
Would you please support the building and approval of this new Costco Gas Station at Tustin Ranch.
Regards
Jackie Cheng

Dear Costco Member,
Costco Wholesale strongly believes that the addition of a gas station at the Tustin
Ranch Costco will be of tremendous value to the community. We are proud of the
quality of the gasoline we sell, our environmental and safety record and the value we
offer our members.
As you may already know, we received approval for the Tustin Ranch gas station
addition at the Planning Commission hearing on July 9, 2019. This decision was
appealed on July 19.
It is a fact of life that individuals who oppose projects tend to make their objections
known, while those in favor do not express their views.
How can you help? We urge our supporting members to express their views to the
Tustin City Council. Please send an email to Tustin City Hall
at CityCouncil(o)tustinca.ora to express your desire for the addition of a Costco Gas
Station at the Tustin Ranch location. Emails should be sent no later than Monday,
Oct. 14.
The City Council hearing will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. at 300
Centennial Way, Tustin, CA.
Your time and support are greatly appreciated.

Dear Council members:
I strongly urge you to approve the Costco Gas station project. The current gas station I use,
like many Costco members in our area, is located in the District. This is the busiest Costco
gas station in Southern California. The lines are usually at least 15 minutes long during normal
hours. To get there I use Tustin Ranch road. The claim that opening a Costco gas station on
Tustin Ranch road will increase traffic does not make since most people that would go there
are already using Tustin Ranch road to get to the District gas station. The new gas station will
not affect Tustin Ranch Road traffic and it will improve our waits at the Costco gas station and
improve our local costco potentially reducing our drives to the District Costco.
Thank you,

Dear Tustin City Council,
As a longtime resident of the city of Tustin, I am writing in support of building a Costco gas station in
Tustin Ranch. The approved location on Bryan and Tustin Ranch Road is an ideal location for all the
residents in the Tustin Ranch/North Tustin/Tustin area. I truly believe that the design for the gas
station will take into account the traffic flow in that immediate area and will only provide a benefit
to the residents and to our city. The current location in the District area is a nightmare for those of
us that want to purchase gas at a fantastic rate compared to our typical chain gas stations. We have
so few gas stations in the area that our current options have no problem charging us ridiculously
overpriced rates compared to driving outside of Tustin Ranch.
I honestly cannot understand what the issues are in preventing this gas station plan from moving
forward. Please get this project moving!
Thank you for your consideration. We greatly appreciate all the work you do to make our city a
great place to live.

Dear City Council,
As a resident of Tustin Ranch, it would be very convenient for our community to approve the Tustin Costco to
proceed with the addition of a gas station. I have to drive down to the District Costco once a week to fill tip gas. This
is not always convenient as I live near the Tustin Sports Park and teach at Estock Elementary. I do most of my
errands at the Marketplace and then I have to make the additional drive to the District just to get gas. I know I can
get gas closer, like at the Shell and Mobil station, but I refuse to pay 5.30 more per gallon when Costco has more
affordable prices. Having a Costco gas station would be a benefit to the community members as well as other
shoppers at the Marketplace. Please approve the addition of a gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco location.

Costco Gas Station - Tustin Ranch Store
Date:
Thursday, October 10, 2019 4:16:43 PM
Dear Council Members:
We understand that the Planning Commission's decision to approve a gas station at
the Tustin Ranch Costco has been appealed, thereby delaying further action plans for
the station to be installed. My wife and I have been shoppers at the Tustin Costco
from the day it opened, and it remains our favorite location for shopping. We
occasionally travel to the District store, but only when we need to fill our gas tanks.
As I'm certain you know, the station at the District store is overwhelmed with
customers, usually causing traffic to be backed out onto the street in both directions.
If customers are not there by 7:00 a.m., it becomes a monumental effort and a test of
one's patience to gas up at the District. As that area continues its development, the
congestion at the station will only become worse.
As very long term and dedicated Costco shoppers, we encourage our Tustin council
members to address and ultimately reject the appeal that has been filed. The Tustin
Ranch store is an ideal location for another gas station, and we assure you it will be
most appreciated by local residents and Costco members alike.

Dear City Council,
The addition of a gas station at Costco would be a benefit to the surrounding businesses in the city of Tustin as well
as a huge new tax revenue source. I currently live in between the Tustin and Garden Grove Costco locations but
more frequently use the Garden Grove location because there is gas available even though the Tustin location is
closer. With having gas as the value added draw to Garden Grove I frequently end tip also going to other businesses
in the area because I'm already in the vicinity. I know there's a concern of Costco gas taking business from other
established businesses but I truly don't believe the long term impact will be that significant. People will avoid
Costco gas because they don't want to deal with the busyness or are just comfortable with their routine and the
current businesses they support. I truly think the draw of gas to get more people to the area and the increase in tax
revenue is worth it for the city. I hope you consider how the draw of gas at competitive rate gets people to spend
more money in the city of Tustin.
Thank you for your time

Hello,
We live in Tustin and our family is in favor of a new Costco gas station in Tustin Ranch. We
have been Costco members for over 15 years and Costco is a stand up business that supports our
community with good intentions. I shop twice weekly there and see that they are good neighbors
who are always friendly and service oriented.
I noticed at the Tustin District Costco they are utilizing a key fob which you wave in front of a
sensor linked to the Costco Visa card and it allows customer to fill by skipping credit card entry
info, zip code and receipt question. Essentially I can pump within seconds after waving my fob
and when I'm done I just replace the pump and go. This eliminated wasted time and improves
traffic line efficiency. I used it yesterday and it was very easy and the lines moved much faster.
I will assume this newer Tustin Costco gas will also offer the fob.
Thank you Costco!

I am writing to express interest in the building of a Costco warehouse gas station at the Tustin
Ranch Warehouse location. It is upsetting that there are members of the community that are
opposed to Costco, a huge and key staple of business in the community, who are opposed to
Costco serving it's community with the addition of a gas station.
Let me know if there is any further action that I can take as a member of the community.

Honorable City Council,
We strongly believe that the addition of a gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco will be of
tremendous value to the community. They have quality of the gasoline at a fair price that helps
families. The Costco environmental and safety record is at the highest level, and the layout has been
designed to minimize impacts.
Costco received approval for the expansion of a gas station at their Tustin Ranch store by the
Planning Commission on July 9, 2019. We understand that decision was appealed on July 19. Please
uphold the decision of the PC, denying the appeal, allowing the gas station to proceed.

does it allow consumers to get cheaper gasoline, but it can also help drive the local

Hello,
As someone who exclusively utilizes Costco Gas as my family's only gasoline services, adding a
station at the Tustin Location would greatly benefit us, as well as countless others. We are a
family that has many student loans together, so saving as much money when possible, is high
on our priority list. Costco gas has been instrumental in helping us easily saving money on
something we all must spend money on ... gas.
Please consider the amount the members of the community will save in time and money by
creating this new station. The affordability and accessibility are in itself reasons to shop at this
location more, and bring more revenue into the Tustin Community.

Hello City Council of Tustin,
I first want to thank you for your commitment to the city. I've been a resident here for nearly
two decades now and I would like to have a Costco Gasoline place on Tustin Ranch.
I strongly believe that the Costco Gas on Tustin Ranch will be a beneficial addition to the city
and actually increase the value of the surrounding residential area. This will help us stay
competitive especially w/ the surrounding cities.
I know one of the main concerns would be the traffic, but I use that intersection (Tustin Ranch
and Bryan) on a daily basis. The traffic in the morning is not as bad as people make it out to
be. Although, it might get busier at night on the way home, the flow of traffic can be
mitigated through surrounding roads. People naturally adapt towards the benefit of
themselves.
In addition to added value to the surrounding residential area, I'd like to advocate for the city
to stay competitive.
Here are the surrounding cities with a Costco Gas.
1. Irvine
2. Huntington Beach
3. Lake Forest
4. Anaheim
Tustin should follow suit.
Lastly, everyone knows that people who are opposed to a certain idea are the ones who
typically voice their opinions while those who agree and quiet. I believe this is an inaccurate
measure of what the city believe is. Image spending MILLIONS of dollars based off
inaccurate polling and data. Whoa.
The city of Tustin should go digital and create polls allowing for busy or home -bound citizens
to voice their opinions. Technology is very advanced and the uses of it are only limited to
imagination.
Please rethink the appeal on the Costco Gasoline on Tustin Ranch and Bryan.
Best Regards,

more traffic or congestion. It would stop Tustin Foothill and Orange residents from having to
travel to the District, which is what really causes the excess traffic on Tustin Ranch road

Hello,
We, my family, support the gas station in the Tustin location. It is much better off then the
big empty building that is there now and how it will sit vacant for many years like so many in
the Tustin area already have/do. At least it will be put to good use and the residents can enjoy
ease of getting gas that is more reasonable then other gas stations over all. Vacant buildings
draw homeless and problems. Tustin doesn't need any more of this.
What is Tustin going to do with all the vacant buildings? What is Tustin doing to get
companies here to rent the out?

I want to voice my support for the Tustin Ranch Costco gas station. It would be a great addition to our community.
There is a Chevron station on the other side of Costco, so the objection that there shouldn't be a station so close to
homes is mute as it isn't as close as the other station. Traffic shouldn't be affected much as the area is set tip to
accommodate traffic to the auto center and Costco already.
Please vote for the Costco station.

tremendous service to the residence of the City of Tustin and

Hello
I just heard about the great news of your approval for the Costco Tustin Ranch Gas Station.
But was later appealed.
I am writing to inform you of my support for the addition of the Tustin Ranch Gas Station.
As a frequent shopper of Costco, having a Grocery/Gas combo would be an ideal "one stop
shop" destination.
Consumers benefit from time saved and frustration from making multiple stops, convenience
of shopping in one location and not to mention reduced pollution from having to start and stop
at multiple locations. Additionally, I would imagine this would bring additional revenue for
the city from gas sales.
Your continued support is appreciated.

Dear City Council,
Thank you for denying a gas station at the Tustin Ranch location. The parking lot is already
crazy and seeing how bad it is at the District only reinforces my desire to not have a station
there. I'm sure the argument is it would reduce the traffic at the District, but again the
parking situation is already bad at the current location.

Bringing a smart price gasoline station in our area will benefit many citizens. It will reduce traffic flow on Tustin
ranch road as that area is building an abundance of condos. That alone is outrageous. Can you imagine that traffic
these new condos will bring to south Tustin.
Build the Tustin Ranch gasoline station. We deserve and support this new venture
This will also bring more revenue to the other merchants at this location. And it's a dead center without Costco.

Dear Tustin City Counsel,
I am writing to urge that you allow the addition of a gas station to the Tustin Ranch Costco as approved by the
planning commission on July 9th. I am a patron at that Costco and believe that a gas station there is much needed
and will provide community members/store patrons with affordable and high quality gasoline. Costco is a great
company that takes good care of their employees and provides high quality products to its customers. We are
fortunate to have their business in our community.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

I have lived in Tustin for 12 yrs and I oppose putting a gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco. The traffic on Brian,
Tustin Ranch Road and El Camino would be Terrible. It's too close to all the existing businesses between jamboree
and Myford. I think it's pure greed on Costco's part. It would be better if Costco Tustin Ranch put some ovens in
that store so they can cook whole roasted chickens at that location.

Hello City Council Members,
I am a Tustin resident and frequent both the District as well as the Marketplace. I am a Costco
Member and also someone who purchases gas at the Costco District location. I would like to
let you know that I am strongly in favor of allowing Costco to build a gas station at the Tustin
Ranch location. There are not enough gas stations in this area and the one competing gas
station (Chevron) is overpriced so I avoid it. It would be very convenient to have a gas station
at the Tustin Ranch location as it would ease congestion at the District location, thus
encouraging me to frequent the District more without having to deal with the heavy traffic in
that area. In addition, with the gas station in Tustin Ranch, I would have even more incentive
to visit the Tustin Marketplace so that I can get gas and grab a bite to eat or do some shopping
while Pm at it. The Tustin Ranch area is not as popular as it once was with businesses closing
down and/or not renewing their lease. It's time to revitalize the area.
Thank you,

I am a resident of Tustin ranch. I would very much be in favor of Costco having a gas station at the

of Tustin and a member of Costco. I only buy gas outside of Costco if I have no other choice and am
low on gas. As such, having an additional Costco option closer to my home will afford me more
chances and opportunity to use Costco.
Please make the right decision for all residents of Tustin and members of Costco and approve once
again the Costco Tustin Ranch gas station.

I wanted to let you know that my entire family is in strong support and favor for the new proposed

big oil companies who charge a fortune for their gas. I travel to The District Costco location almost
90% of my time to get gas. The new FOB key, and the "red" and "green" lights to pull forward have
all helped in making the process speedier.

Tustin Council,
Though we are not officially in the city of Tustin, we identify with Tustin as our
community. We are completely in FAVOR of Costco adding a gas station at the
location on EI Camino Real. Currently, we do not have enough gas stations in the
Tustin area this direction with decent prices. The stations on 17th Street at the 55 fwy
are priced way too high. Right now we drive into Orange and get 95% of our gas
there. We realize there is a station at the other Costco in Tustin, but it's too far to
drive with too long of lines just to get gas, so unless we are already there we do not
utilize that station.
I have not personally talked to anyone opposed, though it seems no matter what good
could come to our area, some people will find a way to be negative.
Thank you for the consideration and we hope they can open it very soon!

Dear Council Member:
I am a Tustin home owner writing to express my support for the proposed Tustin Ranch
Costco gas station.
A gas station makes perfect sense to me because the exit of the old KMart and Good Year
have rendered that parking lot and its structures useless. Additionally, there is little to no
access to affordable/ competitively priced gasoline in this area, and we end up driving to the
Costco Gas Station at the District. Not only is that inconvenient and time consuming, but the
traffic is horrible crossing the freeway, and the set up at the District was not well done, and
causes extreme congestion in the area.
While I am critical of the layout of the District gas station, I would like to point out that the
Cypress Costco gas station has an incredibly successful model whose concept and logistics
have been totally dialed in and should absolutely be the model used for the Tustin Ranch
station. There is zero congestion, it is easy to get in and out. The wait is short and traffic flows
easily. The size of the space available in Tustin Ranch, and the multiple entry points to the lot
is absolutely setting the gas station proposal up for success if executed properly.
When the benefits are so great and there is no harm done to existing businesses, it makes
sense to move forward with a Costco gas station.
Thank you so much for your time.

Jerry and Christine Torres

OPPOSE Costco Gas Station
Date:
Thursday, October 10, 2019 3:40:09 PM
To Whom it May Concern,
I would like to voice my opposition to the proposed Costco Gas station.
Reasons-
-Traffic is already congested and difficult along Bryan, Tustin Ranch, and Jamboree.
Adding this station will further add to these issues.
-With the new development in Old Town Tustin, there will be increased traffic flow to
the area, causing extreme challenges for residents just to get home
-There are 3 Costco stations within 10 miles of Tustin that can easily be accessed.
One of which is less than 3 miles away.
-Parking, entering and exiting the current parking lot for the EI Camino Costco is
challenging and this will add to these problems.
Our small area cannot support additional traffic congestion. Please consider the
impact to quality of life in Tustin and those who live there, over the profits gained from
adding this to our community.

Costco Wholesale strongly believes that the addition of a gas station at the Tustin

As you may already know, we received approval for the Tustin Ranch gas station

appealed on July 19.
It is a fact of life that individuals who oppose projects tend to make their objections

How can you help? We urge our supporting members to express their views to the

Hello Tustin City Council,
I would like to state my strong support for the proposed new gas station at Costco Tustin Ranch.
As a long-time Costco member and long-time Tustin Ranch resident, I have seen our city grow in population and
homes. With nearby Irvine and Orchard Hills community growing rapidly, that adds to the growing number of
residents and automobile drivers. Currently there are not enough gas stations locally to satisfy the demand. There are
long lines at gas stations, especially the existing Tustin Costco gas station, which serves more to Irvine residents and
businesses.
The few gas stations in our Tustin neighborhood charge very high gas prices. It would benefit the local resident
more if the planned Costco gas station is allowed to open to meet the demand of Tustin drivers and to lower the gas
prices. It would make our lives better to save on gas money and have more savings. The City of Tustin will also
benefit in more jobs available and more tax revenues from the gas station.
Costco is a most admirable capitalistic enterprise. They are a socially and environmentally conscious business and
they nun their business the right way. They are responsible, and they take care of their employees and local
community. Furthermore, they will be more environmentally clean than any other gas station out there.
Please consider my vote to allow Costco to build a new gas station at the El Camino Costco. It will better serve the
Tustin community and its residents.
Thank you,

Camino Real and Tustin Ranch Road location
We are in support of this project!
With CA consumers in Orange County currently paying over $4 a gallon for gas
The citizens of Tustin will appreciate the City Council approving a lower cost gasoline station made available to us
The current Costco Gas Station located in Tustin Ranch is just too far away from where we live in North Tustin to
take advantage of
It defeats the purpose of driving so far to get cheaper gas
We would definitely take advantage of a much closer location to where we live
Please make it so
Sincerely
Elizabeth LeVin

I believe the new gas station actually will reduce the traffic by reducing the number of people who today will drive

It is a fact of life that individuals who oppose projects tend to make their objections

As a resident of Tustin for many years, I am writing to express my strong support

Addition of a new gas station at Tustin Ranch will not have any adverse or

I believe that the addition of a new gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco will

It will reduce our weekly commute to other Costco gas stations such as Market

There is always a long line of cars at those other Costco stations, plus the

City of Tustin,
One must wonder what precedent our wonderful City communicates to future businesses if
Costco is to be denied It's approved gas station in Tustin. Is that the reputation we want to
send? Is this how we thank Costco for their service to our community and all the money they
brought to Tustin? Take the Gas out of Costco and you are taking the gas out of our
community.
Many of us moved to Tustin for a reason. Not Irvine. I'm confident that resonates with the

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am writing this quick note to express my family's opposition to the proposed Costco gas station in Tustin
Ranch.
As a citizen, this gas station is a low priority for the community. We do not want more traffic, pollution,
atrocious ingress/egress, parking, and other social issues related to this proposed gas emporium.
There are ample gas stations in the area that provide quality gas with quality detergents. While Costco gas is
accepted as "top tier," its quality is profoundly lesser than other brand-name gasolines. Frankly, the placement
of Costco gas stations is famous for its lines of individuals idling their cars, not the quality of their gas. These
long lines are not only detrimental to area traffic and other shoppers attempting to visit other retail
establishments, but they also contribute to increased pollution that is unlike that of other gas stations where
lines are short or nonexistent.
In any event, Tustin is plagued by issues from increasing homelessness, vandalism, and other social issues. In
fact, along Edinger Avenue from Jamboree Plaza to Kensington Park Drive there is no sidewalk for pedestrians
to use. Instead, those wishing to walk must do so in active lanes of traffic. This is particularly sad given there is
senior apartments right on the corner and I regularly see senior citizens in walker's using the bike lane as they
locomote.
Tustin has enough issues and we do not need another Costco gas station to add to it.
Please let this letter reflect the strong opposition of myself and my household against the addition of a Costco
gas station in Tustin Ranch.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this e-mail.

Dear Tustin city council,
I am Jeonghun Noh, and here I am writing to support the proposal of Costco company adding a gas station to Tustin
Ranch Costco branch. I heard that it was approved, but later it was appealed. I understand that there are pros and
cons of the plan in the community, but as an Irvine resident that uses Costco gas more than 90% of the time when I
fill gas to my cars, I strongly believe that there are a lot to gain by adding a gas station to the site, including:
* Reduction of traffic to the Tustin District; I know that there are a huge number of Irvine residents who live in the
Northwood and Stonegate communities, located north to I-5. The proposal will reduce such traffic and route to the
new site, reducing their trips significantly.
* Competition; I am satisfied with the gasoline quality and the degree of service availability at Costco gas in
general. Sometimes I use other brands, but occasionally they are not available, and I feel like the price to quality
isn't worth using them. The proposal will bring competition to the area, encouraging local gas stations to provide
better service and prices to keep up with Costco.
I strongly believe that the benefit of the proposal exceeds the disadvantage that it may bring, so I would like to
expresse my support for the proposal.
Best,
Jeonghun

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to express my support for the proposed gas station at the Costco on El Camino
Real.
Costco has been a great neighbor, a stable part of our community, and has maintained two
locations in this City (the success of which this Council should encourage).
Moreover, the proposed location is in need of a competitively priced gas station. Anything that
encourages people to stay and spend money within the city is a good thing.
Finally, the empty K -Mart building is an eye sore and severely depresses an otherwise vibrant
area of our community. The gas station would be a boost to this area, and will drive a lot of
cars, eyes, and wallets closer to various retail outlets and car dealerships within the city.
As it is in most online or brick and mortar commercial environments, moving traffic closer to
our retail areas is in fact a good thing.
Please support Costco in this effort.

Hello Council members,
I am writing this email in support of opening a Costco gas station at Tustin Ranch. We have
observed since we moved to Tustin ( Columbus Grove) in 2007 the load on the only Costco gas
station at the District has ever been growing and with the new construction of apartments and
houses in Tustin ranch area around the blimps has further added to this.
Not only Tustin but all the new construction in Irvine too has brought in more cars and need for
a cheaper and clean fuel option like a Costco gas station is overdue . I strongly believe an
additional Costco gas station at Tustin ranch will not only provide convenience to Tustin
residents but also ease out the traffic snarls at the District, where because of the complicated
design of the complex it takes longer time to get in and out when gas lines get big . It will help
attract more customers who sometimes avoid going to District as well and help the business there

I am writing in support of the Tustin Ranch Costco Gas Station. We are frequent users and the only available station
is at the District. We are regular customers at Market Place and prefer Market Place over the District. Having this
gas station at Market Place would not only be convenient but allow us to spend more time in Tustin Ranch area
instead of planning trips out to other locations. Living in this area, I am not concerned about the additional traffic as
stated by others. There is already traffic due to Marketplace regardless. I hope you will approve the gas station

Dear City of Tustin,
I am in FAVOR of the proposed Tustin I Costco gas station and the reasons why follows!
I have lived in Irvine since 1976 and do the majority of shopping and eating out in Tustin.
I try to use the Costco Gas Station in the District but it is a total nightmare. It is the
ENTRANCE THAT DOESN'T WORK. You are trying to move the traffic through a
FUNNEL! Many cars and a tiny entrance. When the construction started I had hope but
adding a right turn lane & closing access from the Costco side was NOT SUFFICIENT! The
small, PITIFUL ENTRANCE needs to be OPENED!
If you did attentional construction that station would be able to handle many of the cars that
are sitting and waiting to ENTER!
I feel that with the cost of fuel, seniors like me need a source of reasonable gas prices!
I feel safe using the Costco pumps because the attendants open each pump DAILY looking for
credit card "skimmers" that thieves install to steal our credit card information!
This new gas station will bring piles of money into your city! My suggestion is to spend time
NOW and be sure the traffic flow has access and the fill ups can be done quickly and
efficiently!
Thank you for your time,
Linda Behrens

Hello,
My name is Alma Penalosa and I reside at 17396 Via Calma in Tustin. I am a 19 year
resident and home owner in Tustin and a long time Costco shopper. I exclusively
shop at the Costco in Tustin Ranch as it is more convenient and I prefer the smaller
size.
While I cannot attend the meeting next week, I wanted to express that I am strongly in
support of a gas station at this location. Yes, I know it might add to traffic in the
surrounding area but I strongly believe that a station here would be used by more
Tustin resident than the one at the District. The location of the District, adjacent to
Irvine and Santa Ana does NOT cater to Tustin residents except those who live at
that far south perimeter. A gas station at the EI Camino location would be far more
favorable for Tustin residents.
Thank you for all the work you do and I hope you will vote for the approval of the
Costco gas station at the Tustin Ranch store.

Dear City Council Members,
I would like to voice my strong support for the building of a Costco gas station in the Tustin Marketplace
area, near the Costco in Tustin Ranch. As you know, there is a currently a Costco gas station in Tustin's
The District. But there is tremendous crowding there because that is the only nearby Costco gas station
(which offers Tustin residents much better prices for gasoline).
I think that having a second Costco will be of great benefit to Tustin residents, who will then be able to
obtain reasonably -priced gasoline without tremendous wait times because Tustin residents will then have
two Costco gas stations to choose from. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear City Council of Tustin,
I believe the City of Tustin would be remiss if they did not allow the Tustin Ranch Costco to add a gas
station.
Adding a gas station would not only add a tremendous value to Tustin residents through much
cheaper gasoline but also tax revenue to the City of Tustin. This is clearly a win-win for everyone
involved.
Those opposed to this project may cite environmental or congestion issues. These opposing points
are very misguided. Gas stations will continue to exist regardless of whether Costco is allowed to
have one or not. Costco has the resources to not only install the latest and greatest technology, but
also to oversee the stations to make sure there are no issues for many years to come. In addition,
the shopping center was built and zoned for heavy commercial and retail traffic. How can you
oppose a project for traffic when that was the very purpose this land was set aside for.
I hope that the City Council of Tustin can objectively see and understand the benefits for everyone
by allowing the gas station to be added to the Tustin Ranch Costco.

center is, the person designing the layout should be able to accommodate an efficient line system that will avoid any
traffic to spill over onto the street! I mean ... come on, if In and Out on El Camino Real can have its line weave
through that parking lot, what would make Costco's gas line any different7777
And at the rate gas prices are increasing, Costco provides good petrol for reasonable prices, why not bring in some

Hello,
I have been a Tustin resident since 2009 and I fully support the new proposed Costco
Tustin Ranch gas station for the following reasons-
- This is a great investment in our community.
- We've had a revolving anchor store in that center. With the shrink in retail, age of
the building, and Marketplace right next door, do we really see a better choice of
tenant in that area? This building will most likely continue to stay empty and be a
blight in the community.
- The convenience factor is huge. The other Costco gas station is further away, and
the line is constantly challenging.
Yes, I do understand their will be more traffic. I do believe Costco should be held to a
traffic planning study to make sure that issue is managed. Traffic at The District is
bad, and part of that can be contributed to poor design.
Thank you for your time and listening to a fellow citizen.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am all for having another Costco Gas Station at the Tustin Ranch location off of EI Camino Real and
Tustin Ranch Road. For me personally it would be more convenient than driving over to The District
location which is always packed and congested.
In the long run it could also save my family money as my husband would then also purchase gas at this
location, as it will be more conveniently located and easy to get to. It would save me time and allow me a
little extra time to spend with my family as I am always on the road with my children getting them to all
their activities.

I am a Costco member and live by this particular Costco. I am extremely opposed to having a gas station part into
this area. Whenever you visit a Costco with a gas station there is nothing but congestion and problems getting into
and out of those areas. The marketplace is already busy and crowded enough that we don't need more issues with
people waiting to save a few cents per gallon on gas. Please don't allow this to happen. It isn't difficult to drive to a
few of the local Costco's that have gas stations to see the problems that they cause.
The one at the district was so bad that they had to make new lanes to help relieve some of the congestion caused by
the ennumerable amount of people that are constantly lined tip. It is bad enough that I won't go down that direction
on the weekend because you sit in traffic just to get to the stores.
The Costco near the spectrum is a similar problem. The back tip caused by the gas station in their own parking lot
spills out into the lanes outside of their parking lot. To visit that Costco it is so much easier to pair far away and
walk to it.
The congestion cheaper gas causes is huge and as much as Costco helps with burying in bulk and a bit cheaper the
impact on the community and shopping center will not be good.
Please block this from happening.

My family and I are looking forward to the upcoming Costco fuel station project.
Last week gas was noted at $4.47 near my husband's work. I paid $3.56 at Costco. What a blessing to be a Costco
member. I appreciate having the opportunity to receive my full benefits in my own neighbor. Others alike clearly
know this will curt down the District station lines.
The city of Tustin is also sure to benefit.
Others have complained about the traffic, however, I find it's the perfect neighborhood as we have so many small
alternative streets to choose from as another route choice
Cordially,

Dear Councilmembers,
Installing gas primps at the Tustin Costco would hopefully shorten lines at the Costco gas in The District. Waiting
in gas lines expends gas. The Tustin location would be closer for me, so it would save gas.
By driving a shorter distance to get gas and by having shorter lines to get gas would not only be convenient and time
saving for me, but would also be better for the environment because I would waste less fuel ... multiply that times
how many other gas customers. I also tend to shop at the store where I get gas.
And with all of the housing constriction in the past several years, there are more and more customers. The line to
get gas backs tip and makes it harder to get in to park to shop at the stores. You want to attract customers, you want
them to have clear passage to the parking lots, and you want them to have a positive experience so they will make
purchases, which generates sales tax for the city.
Thank you for your consideration.

The city planning and approvals for the traffic patterns in The District at the Legacy Project are terrible and have

Subject: Please allow the Costco gas station
I strongly support allowing Costco to open a gas station at its location near Tustin Ranch. It will benefit
thousands of consumers by creating a more competitive marketplace in a community where fuel prices are
now too high.
It has been my experience that wherever Costco opens a gas station, nearby petroleum retailers are forced to
lower their prices to compete. All of us win when the free enterprise system is allowed to work in this way.
In addition to all of the economic arguments in favor of free competition, there is a environmental argument
in favor of the gas station as well. It will allow many of us to purchase fuel at competitive prices much closer
to home, eliminating many needless car trips to a more distant Costco location to obtain fuel.
I am frustrated and angry that a vocal minority of residents might be able to prevail with a NIMBY argument
against a service that would benefit so many of us.

In Favor of Gas Station at Tustin Ranch Costco
Dear Councilmembers,
Thank you so much for approving Costco's proposal for a new gas station at Tustin Ranch and EI Camino. I know that
others in the community are concerned about the traffic this may cause; however, there is not another gas station in
that area. It would be a good idea to have a gas station at EI Camino as long as Costco contains the flow of incoming
gas station traffic through their own parking lot (they need more space for this than at the one in the District). Costco
also could be requested to install pump open/occupied lights like they just did here in the District, which has helped a
lot with keeping traffic moving through the gas station.
We tend to shop at the Costco in the District even if we have been over at the Marketplace because the District Costco
has a gas station. I have actually never shopped at the one on EI Camino despite passing it many times because it does
not have gas.
We hope that the project will move forward as planned. I was hoping that approving another Costco Gas station north
of the 5 freeway would help alleviate the jam up at the Costco in the District/Legacy area.
Thank you,
Jessica Moland

in that location (the other store closed) so it will not have any adverse impact on the traffic. In fact, the location

Third, I was in Colorado with a high volume of stations and the traffic was chaotic. Worst idea ever.
Fourth, why aren't you doing an environmental study, rather than shoving this down our throats?
Fifth, since all this new building is taking place where the Marine base is, why not do it there?
Sixth, do you believe in climate change? I'd. This idea won't help.

Support for Costco Gas Station Approval
Honorable Mayor Puckett and City Council Members:
We respectfully request your approval of the Costco gas station.
We are homeowners in the northern portion of Tustin Ranch, adjacent to Peters Canyon. We are also longtime Costco
members. We have found that the price of Costco gas is generally around 50 cents per gallon less than the amount
charged by the gas stations close to our home. This results in five or six dollars in savings every time we fill up. Because
of the savings, we almost always fill up at the Costco gas station at the District, approximately six miles from our
home. We are very excited about the proposed gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco, approximately three miles from
our home.
We're sure that there are many other residents of Tustin Ranch who would also welcome having a Costco gas station
closer to our homes. This will lead to a significant reduction in vehicle miles travelled, air pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions when we are able to get gas at the Tustin Ranch Costco. It should also result in less congestion at the Costco
gas station at the District, which can be gridlocked at certain times of day and disrupts the circulation of the entire
District shopping center.
It seems to us that the site of the gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco has been carefully located to avoid noise, traffic,
and other environmental impacts on both the residential areas nearby and the businesses in the Marketplace. We
believe this is an excellent use to be added to replace the vacancies at this shopping center, and we stringly urge your
support.

Hi there!
I'm writing in today to express my support for the new Costco gas station off Tustin Ranch Rd. and EI Camino
Real. If engineered and designed correctly, the gas station will add a much needed large fueling station to this
area. The newer pumps have a key fob to ensure a quicker purchase of gas, as well as lit signs that inform
drivers where an open pump is located. This will speed up the process for those waiting to fuel up I feel this will
alleviate the congestion over at the Costco gas in The District shooing center, making it easier for shoppers to

The revenue from taxes will also be a welcome addition to our economy, in addition to more jobs for those in

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you with respect to the proposed Gas Station by Costco at their Tustin Ranch location
which received approval from the Planning Commission but sadly the approval has now been
appealed.
I would like to express my view strongly in FAVOR of the gas station to go ahead as planned. It will
not only bring a top class service to the area but also save the entire community a great deal of money
and hassle for not traveling to far away locations to save money. You may or may not know this,
people(myself, our friends and colleagues) living in this area will travel all the way to Costco in
District area or the Costco on Technology drive to gas up their vehicles - it will be a service to the
environment also should these people chose not to travel io miles to and fro every time they want fuel
for their vehicle and stay local instead.
I know how good the quality of fuel is that is sold at Costco's gas stations and the lengths Costco goes
to in order to ensure safety & service standards are met at all times.
Having a Costco Gas Station will ultimately challenge other gas stations within the vicinity to improve
their standards of service at a competitive price - and the only winner I see in this case is the
community members or the end user. So why not let the consumer win?
I humbly request you to take the above into consideration and I am sure myself and a lot of local
people will feel very obliged.
Kind regards,

Support for Costco Gas Station at the Tustin Ranch Location
Hello,
I am a resident of Tustin Meadows, and I would like to express my support for adding a gas station to the Costco at Tustin
Ranch (near the Marketplace). The station at the District is terribly designed and always congested, to the point that I
often set my alarm very early to go get gas at the crack of dawn, when a reasonable number of cars are there. A gas
station at Tustin Ranch would help alleviate the congestion at the District and would certainly be in high demand. There's
also enough space at the Tustin Ranch location to make sure that the lanes going into the gas station are long enough to
accommodate cars, which would prevent the spillover into the street that I often see at the District location. Therefore,
building a gas station at the Tustin Ranch location is a great idea and I wholeheartedly support it.

Costco Gas station at Tustin Ranch.....
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to support the planned Costco gas station in Tustin Ranch.
As you know, the Goodear Tustin Ranch Tire had been closed for quite some time and Ansar Gallery had been
gone of over a year.
I have noticed some RV actually parked there for overnight stays.
I believe it is in the best interest of the neighbors and the businesses to have a gas station there since demand
is there.
Furthermore, had Tustin Ranch Tire and Ansar Gallery been very successful, there would have been a lot of
traffic. Therefore, I believe the location had been planned for more traffic than what we are currently seeing.
I hope you will vote for it.
Truly yours,
David Chang

Gas Station at Costco on EI Camino
I am in favor of having a gas station put in at the Tustin Costco on EI Camino. The city will truly benefit from the
tax base the ga station will bring. I have lived in North Tustin for 58 years. It is no longer the sleepy town it once
was. We need to change with the times and, frankly bring in a gas station with reasonable prices to help benefit
those of us that live in the area. Those that oppose the gas station do not seem to live in the present, they want
to go backwards, which is unreasonable. The cost of living is high enough. A Costco gas station provides people
with a cheaper alternative while also providing income to the city.
Please vote to allow the Costco gas station on EI Camino.

I totally support the notion of a gas station being added to the Costco at the marketplace. I have read the
"petition" of the groups opposing and I do not agree with the conclusion. I have lived in North Tustin for 25
years, and yes our town has grown up. Yes we have more traffic and more people than we ever did.
I am tired of having to drive out of the way to find a Gas Station with reasonable prices. Costco does not gouge
its members, frankly if the other local stations were more reasonable in their pricing there would have been no
incentive for a lower cost alternative.
And yes, the city will benefit from increased taxation, as will all members of the community that will benefit
from the city services these taxes will help fund.

The current gas station location at the District is VERY overcrowded, and I believe that another Tustin location would
significantly improve the service experience of Tustin Costco members. The Tustin Ranch location would be more
convenient for a lot of Tustin residents and workers, as the District is on the edges of Tustin city limits.

City Council,
Good afternoon, thank you for taking the time to read my correspondence. It is my understanding that the
addition of the Costco gas station was appealed in July. If any of the Council members have taken the time to
go to Costco any would see the traffic the gas station causes. Tustin is a growing city boarding Irvine. An
additional gas station is needed to keep to par with the growth.
At any given time our current Costco gas station is full. The addition will alleviate congestion as well as help
residence get to their destinations in a timely manner. We are all aware of the gas price incline, Costco makes it
affordable for residence. They again are trying to help by adding an additional gas station.
What is the harm of adding an additional station? What are the cons because from driving around town I see
an ample amount of living structures being built. That means more congestion and a larger population. Would
love to understand the reasoning behind the appeal. If there is land for living structures I am sure the City can
find a location in zoning an additional gas station.
Thank you for your time,

My name is Yoo Mi and I'm a Tustin resident residing on Champion Way. I'm writing to support the gas station for the
Costco at Tustin Ranch (EI Camino Real).
Gas price difference between the closest gas station and Costco gas is nearly $0.30/gallon difference. This is a
significant gap and one that would benefit the residents in nearby areas.
The space in the proposed location is underutilized. With closed businesses, the space could be used to bring a service
to benefit the community instead of just sitting there and not bring in any revenue/taxes. The other businesses can also
benefit from the additional flow of traffic.
It would distribute some traffic to the District location. The Costco gas station at the District will always have business,
but it would hopefully lessen the impact.
Please vote to deny the appeal and move forward in approving the gas station to be built!

Dear City Council,
My name is Jason Lu and I live in Tustin Ranch on Champion Way. I am writing to provide my
support to the new Tustin Ranch Costco Gas. If you think about the Costco Gas station in
Glendora, CA, the steady flow of traffic brought more businesses to that plaza. So much so that
they built additional buildings for business that were interested in being in this area.
The closure of the department store and Goodyear are prime reasons that a Costco Gas is
needed in this area. 2-5 years down the line we should see more economic development in this
area, and there is plenty of lot space that can be used for traffic flow. All the roads in this area
have sufficient flow and the recent improvements at the Park Ave. Costco Gas at the District
show that Costco is committed to improving the experience over time.
My friends and family all agree that this would be a great help to our community. Please deny
the appeal that is before you at the Tuesday, October 15 meeting.

work in Irvine (John Wayne) and I also owned 6 properties within 5 miles of Tustin Ranch. I have vested interest
on how the traffic in Tustin ranch area and I believe the costco gas location will ONLY help the surrounding
business and the improvement of flow of traffic as cars that usually clogged certain costco gas now has more
options. Imagine a large store with 1 cash register, the line will be quite long compared to opening a 2 cash
register.
Last, I wholeheartedly believe that Costco is one of the rarest company that take corporate responsibilities in
the highest standard. Employees love working there and customer are like cult members. Adjacent
Neighborhood Community are always better in surrounding Costco neighborhood. I can only imagine the tustin
ranch business are going to thrive even more and make more future tustin ranch residence find it more
appealing to live and maintain continued residence and thus further increase in future home value. In a very
hectic busy life in OC, time saving efficiency become everyone ultimate daily objective, and having an extra

It is our heartfelt request that you approve the application for operation of a gas station at the Tustin Ranch
Costco. Such availability of a reduced -price station would benefit all drivers in the Tustin/Irvine/Santa Ana area
and most likely drivers from other areas, as well.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.

We are strongly in support of the new gas station at Tustin Ranch Road and Bryan. Traffic will not be significantly
altered, and the footprint is unused. The infrastructure/traffic pattern at the District Costco station was not well-
planned, and we never go there, but we will definitely be regular customers at the new station.
We're sure that the new facility will bring significant tax revenue to the city of Tustin.

Hello Tustin Council Members,
My name is Dat Nguyen and I live in Tustin. I have shopped at both Costcos for many years and have many
friends who work for Costco. As a customer, I feel like Costco is a great store and resource for me as a home
owner. They save me money in the long run and offer wonderful customer service for all the products they
offer.
Speaking to me friends who are employed by Costco, they have told me how wonderful the company is. They
speak volumes about how Costco treats their employees with respect and dignity. They offer great wages and
benefits to rise a family.
Overall, Costco contributes to the community and I believe adding a gas station at the Tustin Ranch location will
benefit the community. It will continue to bring revenue in for the city as well as serve the citizens of Tustin.
I am in support of building the gas station at Bryan and Tustin Ranch!!!!

I use various Costco gas stations at different locations. The proposed addition of a Costco
gas station in this location will be beneficial to me.
However, I do not support the addition of a Costco gas station at Bryan/Tustin Ranch
because it will be create a traffic nightmare for this area. It will also change the tranquil nature of this area
to make it look overly commercial.
Please do not approve this gas station. I'd rather drive further to get my gas so that the character of this location
may be preserved.

Costco Tustin Gas Station
Dear Tustin City Council,
With the departure of Goodyear Tire & Ansar Gallery, that part of the mall is a dead area.?? You need to find new ideas
to rejuvenate the site and attract more shoppers.
We are Costco members and shop at the Tustin 1 store, the Tustin District, & the Irvine store , but we prefer the Tustin 1
store mostly because it is closer to our home. we get gas at the Irvine store or most often at the District store.
Adding a Costco gas station by the Tustin 1 store will do several things for the area:
• It will relieve some of the congestion at the District gas station.
• It will mean increased business to Costco & the surrounding businesses.
• It is a new incentive for people to join Costco who live too far from the District gas station in order to take
advantage of the gas.
• All this means increased revenue for the city of Tustin.

To: Mayor Chuck Puckett and the distinguished members of the Tustin City
Council.
am writing to you for the purpose of going on record in total support for
the addition of a Costco Gas Station at the Tustin Ranch location. I was
unable to attend the meeting at city hall regarding the addition of a gas
station to the Costco however I would like to show my support for it now.
I am a voting resident of Tustin and a retired FBI executive living a short
distance from that Costco. Since the previous bustiness has vacated from
that location the property has attracted homeless individuals living in their
vehicles in the parking lot which has created an eyesore in my community
and the lot has accumulated a large amount of trash. Not to demonize the
homeless, but I fear this will result in another Santa Ana river bed situation
which would be dangerous for the homeless as well as myself.
The addition of that gas station will contribute, I believe, economically to
our great city from a broad perspective as well as add an affordable gas
station to the immediate area for residence. Based on the previous designs
of other Costco gas stations I feel that any possible additional traffic will be
negligible and well managed in that location.
Thank you for your service to our community and your time and attention
to my email on this matter.

Council Members,
I am writing in support of the proposed gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco location. As you know this
proposal was already approved by you before some unhappy citizen made their grievances heard. 1, as a citizen
in support hope you listen to those of us in support of it as well.
Having a gas station at the Tustin Ranch location would be an asset to the community. Costco consistently
provides some of the best gas prices in the county. Many Tustin residences already shop at the Costco store in
the location and would benefit from being able to fill their gas tanks up as well. The city already receives tax
money from Costco, that would only increase with the addition of a gas station.
As it stands there are only 2 gas stations in the area immediate area. The one located behind the car
dealerships is incredibly expensive and hard to get into. The Shell on the corner of Jamboree is a nightmare to
navigate. Costco, having already done a land survey, would be able to alleviate any traffic issues. There is
sufficient space available to handle the residents who chose to purchase fuel there.

My name is Ching Kong and I moved to Tustin about 19 years ago, and still own the property there. I am a Costco

I am writing to you about the upcoming City Council meeting on Oct. 15, regarding the Costco proposal to build a gas
station there. I was not able to find much detail about the proposal on Costco website, but did find the meeting note on
City website. I very much appreciate the openness of our City Council and how it conduct municipal business. I have the
following suggestions that I feel the City should look into:
1, ask Costco to provide electric charging stations to their members at the proposed location, to encourage members to
use electric vehicle when shopping there, and nearby business.
2, request Costco members at gas station queue to shut off engine when there is a waiting line, and the vehicle can not
proceed forward right away. This assume that the members are courteous and not blocking traffic.
Costco is very service oriented, and if they do the above, I am sure the net result will be positive for both their members
as well as the neighbors around the location, both at the EI Camino location, as well as other locations thru out the US,
such as the other Costco at the District. By encouraging people to use electric vehicle, and not idling with engine on, it
greatly reduces pollution, noise, and make they a better business and neighbor.
Thank you very much for your time.

Tustin Marketplace - Costco Warehouse Gas Station addition
Honorable Council Members,
I'd like to extend my support for the proposed gas station addition at the Costco Warehouse located at the Marketplace.
My family have been Tustin residence for over 23 years and have continuously shopped and took advantage the
convenience of having some of the most successful retailers at the Marketplace. Unfortunately I have also seen the
departure or closure of some of these stores due to their inability to expand the store (IKEA) or inability to change with
retail trend (Toy's R Us, K -Mart).
We support the gas station addition for the following reasons:
1. The site is zoned commercial retail and is buffered by major roadways. There are already gas station users in the
Marketplace, so the use is not unprecedented.
2. The gas station itself will be buffered by the Costco Warehouse, the vacant K -Mart building, and the Automall, thus
there shouldn't be visual or noise concern.
3. Gas station users are Costco members. Most of the traffic are from Costco members shopping already at the
warehouse. In fact, having a gas station will reduce Costco members from having to make extra trips to other gas stations
or to the District Costco, thus reducing local traffic.
4. This gas station will probably help alleviate fuel traffic at the District, thus reduce current queuing issue.
5. They are actually reducing retail area by demolishing the existing Firestone store.
6. To me, EI Camino Real is a local street meant to access local business and the Marketplace shops. It's not meant to be
a speedy roadway to get from point A to point B quickly like Bryan Ave or Tustin Ranch Road, thus I don't understand the
concern about EI Camino Real being slow.
It's a great indicator Costco is committed to our City when they are investing a great amount of money and time on this
addition. Obviously they know what their customers need and how to keep ahead of market trend. Honestly when the
Costco at the District opened with all the bells and whistle services, I thought we'll have a vacant building at the
Marketplace.
I feel the city have a bird in the hand with Costco's gas station addition, or Costco will follow the IKEA route to find
someplace to build a new store like at the District.

Francis

Our household uses Costco gas exclusively. I am sure there are many

We drive past the "old" Costco to go to the District that has a gas station
which is always a zoo because of the number of cars filling up there.
How much gas would we save not driving the additional miles AND how
much better would traffic be if there was another location to use?
We are in FAVOR of the new gas station. No additional traffic from our
perspective as we use that Costco anyway and would fill up our vehicles
when there instead of driving to the District.

As someone who shops at the Costco weekly and has been a Tustin resident for over a decade I beg you to stop the
Costco gas station on EI Camino Real.
I won't go into great detail as I doubt you're actually going to read this far, or agree with me. Simply go to the Costco
gas in Garden Grove and remember that ALL Costco gas stations are very heavily trafficked; I can't imagine how anyone
besides Costco and those seeking cheap gas see this as being a good idea. Frankly, it will make leasing the former K-
Mart/Sears even more challenging as the congestion will be so bad.
That being said, I have full faith that the decision makers in Tustin will approve anything that means more dollars ... it's
sad but true.

I'm writing you to show my support for a gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco.
I've heard that there may be others who disagree, however having a Costco Gas Station at this location is in the best
interest of the citizens of Tustin as well as surrounding cities like Irvine and Santa Ana, considering they consistently sell
their gas cheaper than others with no loss of quality.
Again I implore you to allow Costco to sell gas at this location.
Thank you.

To whom it may concern:
My wife and I strongly oppose the new Tustin Ranch Costco gas station, I've seen the massive traffic jams that
occur at other such locations.
The traffic in the Tustin Marketplace area is already bad enough that I have to take back roads in order to get to
my favorite businesses there, one of these borders the spot where Costco wants to put it's gas station.
If this Costco gas station is approved, it will most certainly increase the traffic into the Tustin Marketplace to the
point where I'll have little choice but to take my business elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Rick and Margo Edwards

Sent from my Wad. I strongly favor having a station built and operated by Costco at the Tustin Ranch location,
it is an overdue addition. Costco has always behaved as a good neighbor, running their businesses in harmony
within the areas they are placed. Their stations are clean and neat and are run in an efficient manner. Yes,
there may/could/might be some impact, but with ANY change there is an impact of some degree. Schools bring
along traffic congestion with parents in cars spewing pollution and children moving around causing others to
slow down and be cautious, but they are necessary. And in the here and now, so are stations. I believe that
the opposition would prefer no forward movement, no commerce, perhaps even no cars. Please allow Costco
to build the station that most of the community wants and needs. Thank you, P.S.

Hello Sir/ Madam,
I'm a Tustin Ranch resident. I'm a home owner of 2 properties very close to the proposed Mega Costco gas station at
2541 EI Camino Real Ref: DR -2018-00026 and CUP -2018-00018.
The proposed project poses grave concerns to us - residents of Tustin Ranch including but not limited to those listed
below:
1) Air pollution, smoke, environmental impact resulting from all those hundreds of cars drawn to the gas station AND
most of them idling while waiting in long lines.
2) All the additional traffic jamming the "already crowded" roads. This poses major risk for accidents and a big
inconvenience. You should see the current traffic backlog during peak hours on Bryan between Jamboree and Tustin
Ranch.
3) There is absolutely no need for this gas station as we have at least 2 more within a mile radius.
Looking forward to a resident -favored decision made at the City Council meeting on 10/15.
Thanks,
Prasad Raghavulu

Dear members,
We are very much in favor of a local Costco gas station. For one thing, we see too many abandoned retail
spaces in our area and utilizing even a small part of them will help improve our city image. For another, local
gas prices are considerably higher than some neighboring towns --Tustin needs and deserves a more affordable
option.
Thanks,
Scott and Barbara Benedict

Dear Tustin City Council Members:
I'm writing to let you know that as a resident in the adjoining unincorporated area next to Tustin, I think It
would be a good addition to the services of the Tustin and nearby residents to allow Costco in Tustin Ranch to
have a gas station. The current station, that Tustin allowed many years ago, in The District has served that area
well, but is highly impacted and causes, as you know, traffic jams there. I believe it's time to offload that station
with one at the other Costco.
Thank you for your consideration.

Tustin Ranch Costco Gas Station
Hi,
I am writing to express my concerns on the building of a Costco Gas Station at the Tustin Ranch site on Bryan Ave. I am
not opposed to Costco Gas Stations but I do not feel this is a needed or very well thought out project. First, an
environmental study should be mandatory for any gas station and Costco should not be exempt from this for any
reason. This is a busy residential and commercial area that backs up to a waterway that flows to the ocean. I spoke with
several other gas stations and they are required to do environmental studies if they want to make any changes to their
existing services and they have far less than the proposed 32 pumps that Costco is looking to add. This location is very
busy and will only compound the traffic issues, have you ever tried to travel on Bryan in that area during morning and
evening commutes which is when most people also purchase their gasoline? This is an area that people come to live and
shop and feel safe walking in but it has progressively become less so and something like this gas station will only cause
more congestion. The city of Tustin already has one Costco Gas Station, I really do not understand the necessity of
adding another. I work next to the one at The District and I assure you that the majority of those getting gas are not
shopping, they get their gas and leave just like any other gas station. It appears they are asking to have the station open
hours way before and after their normal store hours so it is not to drive shoppers to their location if they are not
open. We have many gas stations within a couple miles of each other so their is plenty of variety and pricing, not to
mention the Costco station just a few miles straight down the road from the proposed one. I happen to live adjacent to
the plaza and worry about how bad it will become with more traffic flow in the area. I do not welcome added
carcinogens from gas fuel and exhaust in my backyard, it is not good for my family or animals. Not everyone is also a
Costco member in the area so we are not serving all area residents but only the ones that elect to pay a membership,
seems we are making a decision for one group and not all. I'm sure if it is built that it will get used but is something like
this really necessary for our city? Is this something that will attract residents and other businesses to want to be in
Tustin? Our city is so unique compared to others in the surrounding area and I think we need to keep that in mind when
making decisions like this, it is not all about money and greed. Our city has a lot to offer, let's not ruin it by adding
another gas station!

I like to appreciate hard work that you are vesting in keeping our city safe and clean.
However as a member of community living in Tustin Ranch, I'd like to urge you to approve Costco Gas station in Tustin
Ranch where it used to K -mart then Middle Eastern grocery store which currently has been vacant for over a year.
Main reason being is that there are no gas station what so ever in Tustin Ranch Rd. with increasing population and
Jamboree Rd. traffic we need more gas stations.

Dear City Council Members,
As a resident of Tustin Ranch since 1988, 1 am in support of the gas station being proposed for the old Costco in Tustin
Ranch.
• 1 will enjoy not having to drive all the way down to the district to get gas that is less expensive than most of the
other local gas stations.
• I've read the traffic plans and reconfigurations and they seem reasonable to accommodate the additional
customers to the site.
• People have been talking about the additional air pollution from the gas station but in terms of the relative risk
compared to the amount of air pollution we get 24/7 from the Santa Ana freeway, the amount of additional air
pollution is next to nothing. Today's vapor recovery systems at the pump are measurably improved over some of
the old articles that people have been citing online.
I look forward to the tax revenues the city will receive from the additional gas sales. I'm sure you have a long list of
projects the revenue can be applied to.
Please vote in favor of the gas station at the old Costco.

Costco Gas Station
Dear Tustin City Council Members & Staff,
I understand there is going to have a public hearing on the approval for the gas station at the Costco
in the Market Place at your next council meeting. I'd like to support the new gas station.
Currently, I drive to the Costco in the District for my gas and wait in the long lines. I think this
additional station will reduce the lines in the District & reduce the traffic problems there. Since I take
Tustin Ranch Road to get to the District, it will reduce my impact on that road since I'll stop at EI
Camino rather than going to the District. I'm sure I'm not the only person who does the same.
Thank you for taking up this topic and I hope Tustin City Council will be adding another Costco gas
station to Tustin.
Best regards,

Hello council members,
I'm sending this email to express my support for the addition of a

My name is Sam Dolan and I've been a resident of Tustin for over
25 years. I lived in the Rancho Alisal apartments for 10 years and
now reside in the Maricopa community since 2004.
My community is literally caddy -corner from the shopping center
where this Costco is located and I don't believe the addition of the
gas station is going to negatively impact my quality of life. In fact, I
believe it will improve my quality of life since my wife and I
currently drive to the Costco location in the District for gas.
The addition of this gas station will be a great convenience for my
family.
Please approve and move forward with the plans.
Kind regards,

Subject: Please vote No on SECOND Tustin Costco Gas Station
Message Body:
Dear Tustin Council Members: My name is Kimberly Tsai. I am concerned about the second Costco gas station
being proposed for development in Tustin Ranch, immediately adjacent to my home and neighborhood. Most
importantly I am extremely disheartened that this proposal has gone so far, without consideration of the health
and environmental impact to local citizens such as myself and my family. The significant increase in car exhaust
volume and gas fumes will be detrimental to our health as it is well known that living near freeways or areas of
high traffic can cause cancer among other health problems. Based on the actions to favor this proposal at the
cost of health of local citizens, I have come to believe that those responsible for the decision do not have my
family's best interest in mind, and rather favor profits, and thus are not fit to be serving to represent myself and
the interests of Tustin citizens.
Additional concerns I have include: As you may already know, this already congested location is as close as 700
feet from residential homes. A mega 32 -pump gas station will negatively impact this area with an increase in
traffic, air pollution and noise. Despite recent improvements, these problems persist at The District, and we do
not want to repeat the same mistake here. This will diminish the quality of life for me and my neighbors, which
include Beckman students and staff who travel along EI Camino Real, and local families who currently live near
and enjoy shopping at the Marketplace. Please help to keep Tustin as our cherished City of Trees, and not the
City of Costco with a second Costco mega gas station! On October 15th, please vote to PROTECT TUSTIN
RANCH! Thank you for serving the Tustin community and for your consideration.

Subject: Concern About the Protect Tustin Ranch Group
Hell Erica,
Here's my input for the Costco Agenda item on Tuesday.
Hello City Council,
The groups actions have been frustrating and disingenuous. For the last month and a half they have been running a page
on face book and warping stories to fit their viewpoints. One of the most blatant was a story about a Freon leak and
then used it to say "what would happen if one of the gas lines got damage by a earth quake?"
When telling them the incident had nothing to do with a gas station they deleted my post and changed settings so that I
could not post anymore. Also noticed other inconvenient posts for them suddenly disappear.
get there is some concern about this project and not sure if the amount of pumps makes a difference. What I do know
is that on Bryan they have a 12 pump gas station literally across the street from residential units and its the only option
that people who live in that area have. Also if their concern was about the citizens of Tustin why is there no protest
about the Irvine Inn being next door to one? The only difference seems to be that it's low income housing.
When I post stating using the "Not in my back yard trick" Its a little frustrating to other members of Tustin that have
more problematic issues that they can do much about like increase air plane pollution from the FAA MetroPlex program,
to have them say that they are "David vs Goliath"
Thank you for your time..

Good evening
I am writing to submit my support of the Costco Gas station on EI Camino Real. I currently get my gas at the Costco in
the District as do many other residents in my area. I do a lot of my shopping and errands in the Marketplace area and
frequent the Costco on EI Camino Real for most of my Costco shopping. However I have to make a special trip to the
district Costco just for gas. I don't understand how this is adding more traffic. If anything having to make a special trip
adds more traffic and pollution. Gas prices are very high in Tustin and we need lower price options.

Hello,
I am writing this email in regards to the proposed Tustin Ranch Costco Gas Station. As a resident in Northern
Tustin having the Costco gas station at this location would be great for many reasons.
The congestion of traffic at the District Costco gas would be greatly improved giving customers another option
for gas at a low price. Plus the new customers to the Tustin Ranch would bring more revenue in hopes of
revitalizing this shopping center that has been going down hill for a while now.
I do not feel the new gas station would have any significant environment impact nor would it cause a
disturbance in traffic flow. Those opposing the gas station most likely are not club members and would see the
positives once the gas station is complete.
Please vote to have the gas station built making it easier for residents and visitors to get a great deal on gas in a
time when gas prices are skyrocketing.
Thanks,

Costco Gas Station in Tustin Ranch
Dear Tustin City Council:
I am a long-time resident and voter living in Tustin.
I am very concerned with the Costco Gas Station slated to be constructed without any environmental impact
or traffic studies. The traffic on Bryan Avenue and EI Camino Real is already fully congested during work
commute times. Furthermore, there is currently an unacceptably high number of traffic accidents at Bryan
Avenue and Myford Road, which will become even more dangerous with increased traffic.
More importantly, there are many residents, including children, that live in close proximity to Costco who will
be exposed to benzene, which causes leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (I live with my wife and young
children in the Travilla community in Tustin Ranch).
I respectfully demand that Tustin City Council undertake a minimal amount of due diligence and conduct
proper environmental impact and traffic studies before authorizing construction of the Costco Gas
Station. Not doing so would be reckless and a clear signal of total indifference to the health and well being of
your constituents.
Cordially,
Alvin Chang

My Name is Nicholas Timmer I live on Holt Ave in Tustin, and work on Myford in Tustin and have 2 kids 2years

I am okay with Costco building a 32 Pump Gas Station at Tustin Ranch.
The Proposed Tustin Ranch Costco Fueling Station is able to handle more vehicles than the Costco Gas Station at
the District (Which is too small) — and hopefully will help reduce how much people go to The District Costco Gas
Station.

I would like to extend my support for the addition of a Costco Gas Station at the Tustin Ranch location. That particular
area, including the Tustin Marketplace, is lacking enough gas stations to support the local population. In addition, Costco
gas is more reasonably priced for consumers. I also believe that this shopping center and parking lot are large enough to

We oppose to the decision to add a Costco gas station in tustin ranch. This is a poor choice to put a gas station
in this location. It's near to many residential areas, apartments, condos, shopping areas, restaurants, car

much more traffic if there's a gas station with long lines through out the day. Our Tustin Ranch community will
suffer. Our kids will be late to school. Tustin ranch residents will have to endure much more delay in their
commute. We already have a gas station a few miles away in the district. We don't want a gas station in the
tustin ranch location.
As you see that most people support this proposal are people living in Irvine. They are Not directly affected by
all these problems.
Please listen to our voice and say NO to this proposal of gas station in Tustin ranch Thank you for listening Jenny

Subject: Costco gas station
Dear Tustin City Council Members,
I would like to extend my support for the addition of a Costco Gas Station at the Tustin Ranch location. That particular
area, including the Tustin Marketplace, is lacking enough gas stations to support the local population. In addition, Costco
gas is more reasonably priced for consumers. I also believe that this shopping center and parking lot are large enough to
accommodate the gas station without impacting the surrounding area.
Thank you,

Please, allow them to expand. It is very important and convenience for us locals, so we are able to get gas at a

Dear Council Members,
I would like to take this opportunity to voice IN FAVOR of a new gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco. I try to
use the gas station at the Costco District but it is so impacted with over crowding, I feel it is unsafe to even try
to wait there. Park Ave. gets extremely backed up. When I go to south county, I never notice such crowding
near the Costco gas stations. If the new gas station is approved for Tustin Ranch, I'm sure it will alleviate the
crowding problem at the District.
I also feel we lack affordable gas near our area. It seems when Costco gas stations in the area it really helps
keep competition prices down. We definitely need the Tustin Ranch Costco gas station!
Thank you very much for your consideration on this matter,

As I understand the above situation, the Tustin Planning Commission approved the application on July 9, 2019 and then
that decision was appealed on July on July 19, 2019. My wife & I have lived in the Tustin area for 50 yrs and have lived in
our present home since 1980. We hsave raised our family here. I have watched Tustin grow over the past 50 yrs and
have been very pleased with the decisions the Tustin City Council has made. I served on the City of Tustin Audit
Committee aprox 25 yrs ago & was Chairman of that committee for one yr. At that time I authored two special reports:
1.Tustin City Water Co -why the City should continue to own it and 2. a report on Tustin City sources of revenue and why
it was important to keep at least a one year reserve fund to protect the City when the USA experienced a recession.
MY wife & I would be in favor of the Tustin Ranch Costco Gas Station Application for these reasons:
1. The space for this gas station is already there
2. Tustin Costco members would not have to drive so far to use the Costco gas facilities
3. The Tustin Ranch Costco Gas Station would be an additional revenue source for the city of Tustin

Costco Gas Station
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my support for opening an additional Costco gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco. The Tustin
District Costco gas station serves several surrounding cities including but not limited to Irvine, Santa Ana, Orange,
Newport Beach, and obviously Tustin. Most other Orange County cities have a Costco with a gas station to serve their
community, but several of the above-mentioned cities do not have a Costco let alone a gas station so these residents
come to the Tustin Costcos to shop and the District Costco to get gas. The demand is there so why not take this
opportunity to better serve the Tustin residents who are being impacted by the surrounding communities residents using
the Tustin Costcos and gas station.
As I am sure you are well aware, there are not many gas stations near the Tustin Ranch Costco with reasonable
pricing. The Chevron of Bryan and Myford is always very overpriced compared to other gas stations in Tustin and having
the Costco gas station at the Tustin Ranch Costco would help bring competitive pricing to make the Chevron more
affordable for non -Costco members to fill up!
Last, but not least, the Costco gas station at the Tustin District is extremely impacted to the point it is unsafe. Even with
the recent addition of turn lanes and through lanes, the gas station line continues to overflow onto Park Ave. Adding the
addition gas station at the Tustin Ranch location will help alleviate some of this congestion.
Thank you very much for your consideration of bringing another MUCH NEEDED Costco gas station to Tustin!

Hello,
I am writing to voice my opinion in favor of the proposed Costco gas station. As a longtime member of Costco
and a resident of the community I look forward to being able to purchase affordable gas in close proximity to
my home. I stress the word "affordable". Yes Mr. Mazza's Shell gas station is closer to my home however, his
prices are always at least 20 cents more a gallon than Costco and more than the other local gas stations as well.
It has been this way for over 20 years. Mr. Mazza always has the highest prices in town. I have read all of his
comments that he posts on Nextdoor. He is not trying to stop the Costco gas station for the "good of the people"
he is doing this to support his own bottom line. As the cost of gas continues to escalate in California many of us
rely on Costco gas prices.
Costco is located in a commercial area, in the Tustin Marketplace. The location of the gas station makes perfect
sense. It is located away from the nearby residences, right across from the dealerships and by the other retail
establishments.
I urge you to allow this gas station to move forward. Costco has done their due diligence and they have proven
time and time again to be a good neighbor.
Thank you for your time!

Dear Esteemed Council Members,
At this time, I would like to very strongly encourage and support favorable votes for the proposed Gas Station at the
Costco located in Tustin Ranch. This area is generally underserved, noting that the Costco in the District is always quite
crowded. Further, it creates an unsafe environment for those that are trying to wait in line.
If allowed to proceed, this new Costco Gas Station will reduce the number of vehicles at the District gas
station providing a safer experience for those customers and provide a much needed service to the Tustin Ranch
area. A secondary benefit would be the incentive of a more competition to keep prices in reason in an already high
priced gasoline market.

Please do not allow a Costco gas station to go in at the Tustin Ranch location; it would make traffic
horrible.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Dean Roess

Dear Tustin Council Members: My name is fenny . I am concerned about the second Costco gas station
being proposed for development in Tustin Ranch. As you may already know, this already congested location is
as close as 700 feet from residential homes. A mega 32 -pump gas station will negatively impact this area with
an increase in traffic, air pollution and noise. Despite recent improvements, these problems persist at The
District, and we do not want to repeat the same mistake here. This will diminish the quality of life for me and
my neighbors, which include Beckman students and staff who travel along EI Camino Real, and local families
who currently live near and enjoy shopping at the Marketplace. Please help to keep Tustin as our cherished City
of Trees, and not the City of Costco with a second Costco mega gas station! On October 15th, please vote to
PROTECT TUSTIN RANCH! Thank you for serving the Tustin community and for your consideration.

Tustin Council Members:
The question I have for the City Council members is why approving a second mega gas station a couple of miles
from the District station is beneficial for Tustin? The are ample gas stations in the area to fulfill the residents
needs.
If the approval is granted, residents will endure hideous traffic, air pollution, safety issues, and an overall
different feel to the "neighborhood" shopping experience.
In my option, an EIR must be completed prior to the Council approving Costco's proposal to build this mega
station. The residents of Tustin deserve your support. The EIR will provide the information needed to make an
educated decision. Not until such time as an EIR has been completed, will the Council have all the facts to
approve or disapprove Costco's proposal.
Please vote for the good of Tustin Ranch.

Dear Tustin Council Members: My name is Michelle. I am supportive of the second Costco gas station being
proposed for development in Tustin Ranch. Affordable gas is the best, Costco is the best. If anything I would
enjoy it near the marketplace, if the concern is being built at the district. Thank you for serving the Tustin
community and for your consideration.
