MAIN STREET The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That a City-initiated application for Conditional Use Permit 02-003 was filed requesting authorization to demolish the existing Tustin Branch library and construct a new Tustin Branch library at the following addresses: 280-284 and 300-304 E. Third Street, 320-324, 325-329, 330-334, and 335-339 S. Preble Drive, 285-295, 305, 315, 325, and 345 E. Main Street, and a portion of S.

That the General Plan Public/Institutional land use designation provides for a variety of public, quasi-public, and institutional uses such as libraries. 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. According to Section 9245.b(g) of the Tustin City Code, a library use is conditionally permitted in the Public &Institutional (P&I) zoning district. D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for Conditional Use Permit 02-003 on September 12, 2005, by the Planning Commission. E. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, 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) The proposed use is authorized pursuant to Section 9245.b(g) of the Tustin City Code with the approval of a General Plan Amendment 02-001 and Zone Change 02-001. 2) A library needs assessment has evaluated existing library services and the community's library needs and determined that the Tustin Library was limited in its collections, programs, and services by the size and inadequacies of the existing facility and the removal of the Resolution No. 3999 Page 2 3) 4) 5) 6) existing facility and construction of a new single story facility was the best approach. The location of the proposed library is ideal and desired by the community to allow for additional square footage and the provision of adequate parking and site amenities. The final project site and building design of the proposed library will be reviewed and coordinated between City departments and considered by the City through a separate Design Review process to ensure compatibility of the project with the design and operation of the Tustin Civic Center. The proposed use is not anticipated to result in parking impacts since the project would provide the number of required parking spaces and is located in close proximity to other available public parking spaces such as the Civic Center. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the surrounding properties in that the library hours of operation would be consistent with the general business hours of other businesses and municipal services within the surrounding vicinity. That a Final Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted on May 6, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). F. G. That pursuant to Section 15162 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), (1 ) No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions to the previous Final Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified environmental effect; (2) No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will major revisions to the previous Final Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified environmental effect; and, (3) No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the prior Final Negative Declaration was adopted shows (a) the project will have one or more effects not discussed in the previous Final Negative Resolution No. 3999 Page 3 Declaration; (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe that shown in the previous Final Negative Declaration; (c) mitigation measures or alternative previously found not be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the City declines to adopt such measures or alternatives; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous Final Negative Declaration would substantially reduce a significant effect, but the City declines to adopt the measure or alternative.
