3002 DOW AVENUE, SUITE 138
The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit 03-011 was filed by Jeff
Williams on behalf of Paula J. Long, requesting authorization to establish a
furniture sales warehouse within an existing building in the Dow Business
Center at 3002 Dow Avenue, Suite 138, Tustin.
B. That the proposed use is allowed within the Irvine Industrial Complex, with
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and within the Planned
Community Commercial/Business land use designation of the City of Tustin
General Plan which provides for a variety of industrial and commercial uses.
In addition, the project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air
Quality Sub-element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been
determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element.
C. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application
on July 16, 2003, by the Zoning Administrator.
D. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of a furniture sales
warehouse will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or
general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood, nor
be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the
neighborhood of the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of
Tustin, in that:
a. As conditioned, the use would be limited to furniture warehousing and
sales and the type of merchandise that may be stored and sold would be
limited to furniture and furniture accessories.

entirely within the existing building area and would not be permitted to
have outdoor storage, display, or activities (except loading and
unloading) without prior approval from the Community Development
Director. All loading and unloading would occur at the loading door in an
area that does not impact drive aisles or parking spaces.
c. The days and hours of operation would be consistent with the
operational characteristics of the other businesses located within the
center.
