3.CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) 2021-0012, DESIGN REVIEW (DR)
2021-0010 AND SUBDIVISION(SUB)2021-0003 (TPM 2021-192)
What are the logistics of trash pick up? Will the bins be wheeled onto Old Irvine Blvd? Will the bins be wheeled
either east or west on the sidewalk and down the driveway apron onto the street? I don’t think I’ve ever come
across a trash enclosure that fronts immediately onto the public ROW.
As coordinated with CR&R, the truck will pull into the exit lane to service the containers as this avoids the truck
serving the containers from the street or blocking the lane, which could slow traffic. CR&R will service the
containers within 3 minutes or less and they advise that they already service several properties this way. CR&R
will evaluate the best time to service the property when it is open.
(1), (4) 2.3 The drive‐thru menu/speaker board shall utilize a lighted read‐back display, either integrated as a single
unit or two (2) separate units, or other alternative as a result of changes in technology, to the satisfaction of the
Community Development Director.
Why does this matter to the City?
This condition of approval is required to reduce noise and reduce transaction time so as to minimize any
stacking especially spillover on the street.
(1) 7.1 Preparation and recordation of a final subdivision map shall be required.
Why is a final subdivision map required? Why not just a quitclaim or offer of dedication the public ROW?
The subdivision map is required to officially subdivide the private property into two separate parcels and to
dedicate the right of way to the City. As indicated in the staff report, the property owner attempted to
subdivide the parcel into two parcels via a trust deed, which did not officially subdivide the parcel into two
parcels. The right of way for street purposes was never dedicated in fee to the City. The approval and
recordation of the Parcel Map will complete will not only create legal lots but also will formally dedicate the
right of way in fee title to the City. In addition, the Parcel Map will also identify and clarify easements on the
2
property including showing them in the title report. The City also needs permission for access to be granted by
the map for monitoring water quality as well as emergency access.
F. All developments are required to provide space for the collection of organic materials. Organics are collected in 35‐
gallon and 65‐gallon wheeled carts, and 2‐yard bins. The size of the organics container will be dependent upon the use
and size of the building. Organics can be collected six (6) days per week to minimize the space required for a
container.
Does the city have an organics, composting program?
Yes. AB 1826 requires that businesses arrange for recycling service for food waste, food soiled paper, green
waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste and organic waste. Additional information can
be found on the City website here: https://www.tustinca.org/381/AB‐1826
