COMMISSION CONCERNS
Lee Indicated that he is attending the Citizens' Academy at the Police
Department; and, stated it has been an eye-opening experience
that provides a broad idea of what is happening within Tustin.
Menard No concerns.
Floyd Thanked staff for the presentations.
Pontious Echoed the thanks to staff for the work that went into the workshops
and staff reports for this project.
Menard Encouraged staff to provide similar workshops in the future in order
to accelerate the process for projects that come forward; it has
always been helpful for the Commission to be able to sit down with
staff to go over issues and thereby reach a better understanding of
the objectives of staff and the developer.
Agreed with Commissioner Pontious's comments regarding the
handling of the Specific Plan Amendment, a perfect model for the
future.
Asked that the Design Guidelines prepared by RTKL be shared
with the Commission just as soon as the Guidelines are available.
Director Indicated that no document is available at this time, and staff has
no idea when a draft will be forthcoming.
Pontious Suggested that the look of the Legacy development will depend on
the Design Guidelines; staff can be trusted to make sure all the
roads are wide enough and sewers are taken care of, but the
Planning Commission's focus is that the community will have a look
that distinguishes Tustin from other cities.
Nielsen Thanked staff for their hard work on the workshops and notification
regarding the Specific Plan Amendment.

The next regular meeting of the Planning Commission is
