City of Tustin Planning Commission
Regarding 14232 Newport Ave,Tustin, Ca 92780
Dear Planning Commission,
I wanted to begin by thanking everyone in the City of Tustin for their continuing support
and guidance through this long process. We here at Taqueria Hoy are excited to become a part
of such a great city.
Throughout this process of construction, we have gotten to know a few of the neighbors
and have been able to hear their excitement and well wishes for the new restaurant as well as
their concerns. We would like to make it known that their worries have not fallen on deaf ears
and that they have been taken into consideration while designing this location. As mentioned
before, we are planning to construct an 8-foot reinforced concrete and block wall with shrubs
that are expected to grow between 8-12 feet (all of these measurements are subject to the
cities approval). The purpose of adding the plants as well as the wall is to limit the sound as
much as possible and to increase the privacy and security for the residents next to us. Adding to
the security of the property will be LED lights that will be reflected onto the parking lot and
video cameras which will be placed according to the recommendations of the Tustin Police
Department.
Our primary focus at this location is to have a 24-hour drive-thru.Two of our locations
are open 24 hours and one third (1/3) of our business is conducted between the hours of 10pm
and 3am; most of which comes from the drive thru. The quick late-night taco has become a
staple of our business and our customers expect us to always be open for them as we have
been since 1980. We have also noticed that within our locations with a 24-hour drive-thru,
people are spending less time on premise. They tend to grab their food and go instead of
staying in the restaurant or on the parking lot. Especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic, many
indoor and outdoor dinning has been closed. Because of the drive-thru, we have been able to
operate at almost normal capacity; therefore, we have been able to keep our staff and continue
to bring in revenue to the city.
I have attached a petition signed by a few of the neighbors who are in support of the
hours of operation and have not brought up any concerns.
Once again, we here at Taqueria Hoy are excited to become a member of the Tustin
community and are grateful to everyone in the city for listening to our concern.
Best regards,
Christian De Anda
