The Zoning Administrator opened the Public Comments section at 10:03 a.m.
Hurtado confirmed there were no phone calls or emails received, from the public,
for this item.
The Zoning Administrator stated she had reviewed the staff report and did not
need a presentation. She also summarized what was being proposed during the
meeting. She asked the applicant if he had an opportunity to review the
Conditions of Approval.
Mr. Rawlings confirmed he did review the Conditions of Approval, but he
requested language be added to Section F7 of the Conditions of Approval with
regards to the public convenience or necessity. He proposed a sentence be
added to Section F7 stating "therefore a public convenience or necessity would
be served" or something similar, in order to abide by the ABC Guidelines.
Justina referred to Section F7 of the Conditions of Approval and asked Mr.
Rawlings if the language was not clear enough. She agreed with Mr. Rawlings
proposal, therefore she proposed adding language to Section F7 of the
Conditions of Approval as follows, "the City is making the findings and will serve
a public convenience or necessity."
Mr. Rawlings did agree the finding was clear, but he did not have a chance to
review with ABC so he wanted to make sure the language follows the ABC
Guidelines. He also wanted to ensure the language was clearer.
Mr. Rawlings added that "the City of Tustin is a pleasure to do business with".
