A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN APPROVING AN INSTRUCTIONAL
FACILITY FOR DISABLED CHILDREN, WITH A MAXIMUM
OF SIX (6) INSTRUCTORS AND TWENTY-FIVE (25)
STUDENTS PROPOSED WITHIN AN EXISTING 2,500
SQUARE FOOT SUITE LOCATED AT 17251
SEVENTEENTH STREET, SUITE A, IN THE TUSTIN
FRENCH QUARTER SHOPPING CENTER.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I.
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A.
That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit 05-017 was filed by
Larry and Michelle Kerin, requesting authorization to establish an
instructional facility for disabled children, with a maximum of six (6)
instructors and twenty-five (25) students proposed within an existing 2,500
square foot suite located at 17251 Seventeenth Street, Suite A, in the Tustin
French Quarter Shopping Center.
B.
That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan "Community
Commercial Business" land use designation which provides for a variety of
commercial uses such as retail businesses and service businesses including
tutoring and/or instructional facilities with the approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. In addition, the project has been reviewed for consistency with the
Air Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been
determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element.
C.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application
on August 8, 2005, by the Planning Commission.
D.
That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of a tutoring facility will
not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare
of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, nor be injurious or
detrimental to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the
subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin, in that:
1) As conditioned, the use would be limited to a tutoring facility with no
more than six (6) instructors and twenty-five (25) students on-site at any
given time.
2) As conditioned, the days and hours of operation would be consistent
with other businesses located within the center. The hours of operation
will be approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and
closed on Saturday and Sunday.
3) As conditioned, the proposed use would not result in a parking impact to
the site since the total number of parking spaces required for the
Resolution No. 3987
Conditional Use Permit 05-017
Page 2
proposed tutoring facility is the same as the previously permitted retail
use at that location, and that all students would be picked up in a
school-sponsored van and dropped off in a designated parking space
on-site adjacent to the entrance. Pick-up and drop-off hours would
occurfrom 8:15-8:30 a.m. and 3:30-3:45 p.m., respectively.
4) The Traffic Engineer has determined that while the tutoring facility would
generate additional trips in the AM and PM peak hours, the increase can
be accommodated by the existing street system capacity with no impact
to existing levels of service.
E.
This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 of
Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act).
II.
The Planning Commission hereby approves Resolution No. 3987 authorizing an
instructional facility for disabled children, with a maximum of six (6) instructors
and twenty-five (25) students proposed within an existing 2,500 square foot suite
located at 17251 Seventeenth Street, Suite A, in the Tustin French Quarter
Shopping Center, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A, attached
hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin, at a regular
meeting on the 8th day of August, 2005.
