ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION 01-002
DESIGN REVIEW 01-003
The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin hereby resolve as follows:
The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application, Design Review No. 01-003, was filed by Barbara
Forbes of Galardi Realty requesting authorization to paint the roof color of
the building located at 105 EI Camino Real a bright yellow color.
B. That pursuant to Section 9272(c) of the Tustin City Code, the Community
Development Department finds that the architectural features and general
appearance of the proposal would impair the harmonious development of the
area, the present and future development therein, and the occupancy as a
whole. In reviewing the project, the Community Development Department
has considered the following items:
1. Exterior materials and colors: The building consists of wood siding
painted white with red trim accents and doors. The roof material is cedar
shake. The proposed color change of bright yellow is out of character and
not complementary to the style of the building or the existing white and
red exterior paint scheme. Other more integrated colors that compliment
the existing building exterior could be developed.
2. Appearance and desian relationships: The overall color palettes for
properties surrounding the project site consist of subdued and integrated
color schemes that compliment the building exteriors. The proposed color
is not sufficiently integrated into the building colors and is not subdued.
3. Tvpe and pitch of roofs: The architectural style of the building was
designed to create a roof area that comprises more than fifty (50) percent
of the view of the building. Since so much of the roof area would be
visible from the street and surrounding area, the use of a bright yellow
color is too discordant with the site and surrounding properties,
particularly since the proposed color is not a typical color for cedar shake
roof materials.
4. Location and appearance: The proposed roof color is not consistent with
the existing architectural design of the roof, the colors of the existing
building or existing development along First Street and EI Camino Real.
The proposed roof color would be visible from First Street and EI Camino
Real, and the color of bright yellow would impair the harmonious
appearance of the area.

5. Development Guidelines and criteria as adopted bv the Citv Council: The
proposed color is not compatible with the Design Review criteria in that
the use of bright yellow on such a large area of the building would impair
the orderly and harmonious appearance of the area.

6. First Street Specific Plan Site Plan Review Criteria: The proposed color is
inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the First Street Specific Plan
Design Guidelines, which indicate the use of subtle warm earthen tones,
pale pastels, and white colors.

7. Town Center Redevelopment Plan: The proposed color is not compatible
with the Town Center Redevelopment Plan which stipulates that
structures, which by reason of appearance are not compatible with the
surrounding uses, are not allowed within the project area. The use of
bright yellow on such a large roof area would be incompatible and
discordant with the area.

C.
That the proposed roof color conflicts with the following City of Tustin
General Plan Policies:

16
Policy 6.2: Encourage and promote high-quality design and physical
appearance in all development projects. The proposed roof color
does not promote high-quality design and physical appearance in that
the existing building utilizes wood siding painted white with red trim
accents and a cedar shake roof. The use of clashing colors and the
inconsistency with the white and red colors detracts from the aesthetic
quality of the development along First Street and EI Camino Real and
the surrounding area and does not present an integrated and subdued
appearance.

Policy 10.8: Encourage rehabilitation of existing facades and signage
to comply with the First Street Specific Plan Guidelines and any future
guidelines for Old Town. The proposed roof color does not maintain or
ensure consistency with the community design and development of
the First Street Specific Plan which encourages the use of subtle
warm earthen tones, pale pastels and white.

Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California
