Hi Raymond,
I got a public comment through the POD phone on the CUP 2022-0009. Greg Morris called on behalf of the owners
association at Wellington Plaza, 505 15t,Tustin, CA to state their opposition to the CUP. Mr Morris stated that the
association wanted to hand deliver letters of opposition to each planning commissioner and city council member. I told
him I would take the comment and have someone contact him back regarding commission information. Here is his email

Subject: Clinic
To Planning For OUR City,
Please do not allow the "Clinic" on First Street in Tustin to move in. Please.
My 102 pound daughter walks right by this proposed clinic to go to the donut shop, Goodwill and
Chipotle. She is safe right now because it is a "good part of town"-that's why I moved here 7 years ago.
Having desperate people that are (20%?)homeless, addicted to something-so not quite in control of
themselves, and at least 40%have criminal records.There is a huge medical building on 805 Tustin Ave-
Global, it has strip malls with X-ray, ultrasound-MEDICAL BUSINESSES.The residents in homes do not
need that element waiting outside, even waiting for the bus that my helpless daughter would walk past.
I would have to stop her walking there.This is not fair to the residents to put a medical clinic with
unfortunate clients near people who are fortunate and look like good "marks". Again, criminal records in
these clientele.There is a perfect place for a homeless camp behind Big 5, Sally's, and Goodwill.They
won't just get their portion/meds done, they will hang around, the businesses will loose customers. I will
stop frequenting that area if you do this.This is unacceptable when there are medical areas that make
better sense and have bus assistance. I am just as close to Global as I am to Goodwill (138 North B Street
is my Address).The difference is the walk ability will leave one of Southern California's "walkable" cities.
Old Town is known for this. You will take away what all the work of City of Tustin's Plannings
Department put in place year after year for DECADES.Just one swipe of unintelligent planning and
placing a medical clinic to ruin at least a quarter mile circumference. Please reconsider and find a
medical area for the patients.
Many Thanks & Kind Regards,
Jennifer Lipking Dimas

Item: PUBLIC INPUT:
eComment: Hello, I must strongly oppose the proposed opioid-disorder treatment facility at 535
E. 1 st Street. My wife and I live in the Palmwood complex, which is directly next door to the
address in question. The complex hosts about a hundred units and is easily accessible from the
street. I have serious safety concerns related to the treatment center's influx of"approximately
140 total clients...per day" into the area, including as early as Sam in the morning on weekdays,
when it is dark and residents are heading to work. Without more information about the proposed
security at the new facility, if even 1-2% of the patients decide to stick around after treatment and
wander into Palmwood, severe safety issues could occur...particularly for residents who are
elderly or of a young age. We have no 2417 on-site security, as there has previously not been a
need. I think it must also be considered that some of the patients will remain in the area before or
after treatment. Even if not accessing our next-door residential neighborhood, several hundred
people per week would be showing up Monday- Saturday with no clear plan for what happens
afterward. addiction is an often-desperate situation and I would anticipate further safety issues in
the immediate area, which features restaurants, shopping centers, and business offices. Thank
you for your consideration of this input.

Dear Mesdames and Messrs.,
V/1'strongly object to the proposed establishment of the Opioid Dispensary in our neighborhood. In our multiple housing
project, there are numerous school children, and barely 2,000 ft away or within half a mile from 535 E First Street, there
are 3 schools, Estock Elementary, Columbus Middle and Tustin High School.
I do not have to remind you that growing children are impressionable and influenced by what they see or hear
especially by direct exposure in their life. Please do not degrade the neighborhood with such a facility as the Proposed
Opioid Dispensary.Thank you.

Please don not being those clinics anywhere near residential areas or anywhere close to any school or playgrounds,
parks, malls, or anywhere where kids especially teenagers hang out.
The Clients linger around until they open the clinic and stuck around in the neighborhood.This is true for the one that's
off of first street in Santa Ana.The parks and neighborhoods are flooded with homeless addicts and crime rates went up.
It's good that they get help they need but not near our neighborhoods or near children please. Maybe somewhere in an
Industrial area would be better for our community.
We cannot allow this to be around our children.

bject: CLIP 2022-0009-Opioid Clinic 535 E. First St
Hello,
I am a Tustin resident who lives in the Palmwood Condo Complex right next door to the proposed Medical Clinic. I am
very concerned to learn that the city is thinking of approving the implementation of an Opioid Clinic so close to my home
and that of my neighbors.
am not against helping folks with Opiold addiction issues but I am also not naive to the consequences of opening a
clinic in this area.This should be done in an industrial business area away from homes, schools (CT), restaurants,
shopping centers, and city hall.
Tustin is already dealing with issues of homelessness and drug use.The California Treatment Services organization
already has a clinic on 1st St Just on the other side of the 55 freeway away from homes.
My wife and I walk our dog past 535 1st St every morning and we are expecting our first child in the coming months. I've
seen these clinics in other cities and know that while needed they do bring unintended consequences.
This would surely louver home values, bring more homeless people to the area, and affect the neighborhood negatively.
I strongly implore the city of Tustin to not approve this clinic.. I will do my part to make my family,friends, and neighbors
aware of the situation.
Thank you.

Members of the City Council
300 Centennial Way
Tustin,CA 92780
RE: Conditional Use Permit(CUP) 2022-0009
To the esteemed members of the City of Tustin,and specifically the Planning Commission:
Please accept this correspondence from the Wellington Plaza Owners Association Board and the forty
owners that comprise the Wellington Plaza Association as our opposition and objection to the granting of
Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") 2022-0009 for 535 E. lit Street, Tustin, California 92780. We are
forwarding this correspondence to not only the Planning Commission but also to the Development
Department and to the City Council in order to put on notice all city elements within this decision-making
process regarding our desire to not have this use anywhere within the city of Tustin. The purpose of this
letter is to inform all levels of city government of the legitimate and significant concerns of neighboring
landowners, residents, business owners and tenants to advise the city on matters of safety, noise,
increased crime, and the corresponding diminution in property values if the proposed new use is
permitted. Wellington Plaza is a condominium office project located in five separate buildings at 505 to
515 East First Street,Tustin. The Association represents forty(40)individual assessor parcel owners who
work in Tustin with many of them living in Tustin. Wellington Plaza is located contiguous to the subject
property, 535 East First Street, Tustin. All forty(40) of the owners at Wellington Plaza request that the
Commission deny CUP 2022-0009.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On August 23,2022,the Planning Commission met to address CUP 2022-0009. The applicant, California
'treatment Services, a subsidiary of Acacia Healthcare, a public company traded on the NASDAQ and
Atomic Investments,LLC(owner of the building at 535 f. Ist Street,Tustin, CA)requested additional time
to respond to staffs questions and their public hearing was rescheduled to September 27, 2022.
Objections to the CUP were minimal since the City did not, properly notify all those located within the
required distance from the subject location. In Wellington Plaza only one owner out of 40 received
notification. Most residents and businesses affected by the approval of this CUP heard about it by word
of mouth and not from the city as they should have. If the residents and businesses in the city are properly
noticed we expecta considerable number of objections from the communityat large to include residential
areas all over Tustin. We expect an outflow of objections from businesses in the Downtown Commercial
Core Specific Plan (DCCSP)and elsewhere in Tustin.
WELLINGTON PLAZA ASSOCIATION
17662 Irvine Blvd,Suite 5,Tustin, CA 92750
The applicant seeks to operate a methadone treatment clinic in 10,610 sf of space consisting of the second
floor at 535 E. 1lt Street,Tustin,to provide active drug addicts with either a liquid or pill treatment,either
option given to the addict at the time of treatment and in some cases, they are allowed to take their
treatment home with them. The applicant is proposing to operate six(6)days a week,while treating close
to 1,000 active addicts per week. California Treatment Services is currently operating the same facility at
2101 E. 1st Street, Santa Ana, CA. Their lease has not been renewed and therefore they desire to move
their operation into Tustin.
THE PROPOSED FACILITY IS IN NONCONFORMANCE WITH TIME INTENT OF THE DOWNTOWN
COMMERCIAL CORI=SPECIFIC PLAN (DCCSP)
The Executive Summary of the DCCSP reads as follows- "The DCCSP sets a planning and regulatory
framework to preserve and enhance the planning area (in which this facility would be located) as a vital,
pedestrian-friendly, and attractive commercial core in Tustin. The DCCSP seeks to attract more patrons
to support and strengthen businesses in Old Town through shopping, dining, and entertainment
opportunities to foster community interaction and pedestrian activity. To bring additional patrons to the
planning area, the DCCSP also introduces the opportunity for mixed use residential developments in
selected areas,which requires a discretionary approval process to ensure projects are high quality."
The key phrase in the Vision Components of the DCCSP is"high quality". Putting 1,000 drug addicts on
the streets of the Did Town of Tustin a weekly basis does not represent high quality. This facility slips
through the cracks of the intent of the DCCSP by being considered part of a group in the general zoning
as a medical clinic for outpatients. This clinic for drug addicts is put on the same consideration as a dialysis
clinic, a heart clinic and any other medical clinics. The plan should differentiate between medical clinics
and drug addict clinics.A clinic such as this is so obviously detrimental to the entire community, not just
those 300 feet from the property,that it should never even get this far in the decision process. The specific
plan should carve out uses such as porn stores, sex stores and methadone drug addict clinics and other
uses that shouldn't be allowed under any circumstances within the specific pian. The Planning
Commission should deny the request for this CUP since it does not conform to the intent of their own
DCCSP and would be a detriment to the entire city of Tustin and specifically the Old Town area.
THE CREATION OF A REVOLVING DOOR OF ACTIVE DRUG ADDICTS AND MENTALLY INSTABLE CLIENTS
PUTS THE OLD TOWN IN TUSTIN AND ALL RESIDI=NTS&BUSINESSES WITHIN THAT AREA IN DANGER
As articulated above, the Commission's chief responsibilities when evaluating a request such as this are
the health,safety,and general welfare of the residents of Tustin,the businesses in Tustin,the children of
Tustin, and all the people working anywhere near this property. It is the city's responsibility, no matter
which agency, to protect those who are already within the confines of'Tustin. That is their sacred duty
and to do anything less is gross negligence.
The applicant anticipates pushing close to 1,000 active drug addicts through this facility on a six-day week
schedule. These are unsupervised active drug addicts that will walk around the Tustin community each
and every week. This is not a supervised program. They come to the clinic on their own and they leave
the clinic on their own. They are not supervised to and from the clinic. This allows active drug addicts to
wall(the street of Tustin at will. What could possibly go wrong? This system does not get the addict clean
of the substance they are using, it simply substitutes another substance. The clinic substitutes for the
drug addicts drug dealer and the addict continues to be an active addict. We already have more than
WELLINGTON PLAZA ASSOCIATION
17662 Irvine Blvd,Suite 5,Tustin,CA 92780
sufficient of these clinics in Orange County or close by. By a quick count on the internet there are at least
16 such clinics to include several in Long Beach. This is more than enough by any count. No medication
that this clinic uses is safe for these addicted addicts. Medications come with a potential for risk of abuse
and addiction by the addicts.The success ratio for methadone clinics is not high, in many cases less than
50%. This means after a twelve-month program the active addict is still an addict. That failed group of
active addicts will be an even greater burden on the Tustin community. If the city approves this clinic in
the location proposed,it will be grossly negligent in its duty to the citizens of Tustin by allowing a potential
problem of major proportions to grow and fester within the community. By approving this CUP, the
Planning Commission would be placing a huge liability on all the residents and businesses within the
DCCSP. If any of these active drug addicts conducts an act of violence or hurts themselves within this area
it is highly likely they will sue existing businesses and residents for damages, they inflicted upon
themselves.
It is not an exaggeration to state that allowing active drug addicts into the area will significantly reduce
the quality of life within the area. The Computer Aided Dispatch Report(See Addendum A to this letter)
specifically prepared for the current clinic operated by California Treatment Services located at 2101 E. V
Street, Santa Ana, CA (only a short distance east of the proposed facility) for the period 1/1/2021 —
8/11/2022, the report shows there were 140 incidents related to their clinic in this area. These are only
the reported incidents on which the police acted. Many of the incidents were Narcotic Activity; also
included were transient disturbance, robbery,silent robbery,commercial burglary, hit and run,transient
trespassing, theft from a vehicle, indecent exposure and terrorism. Does the city need to allow any of
these criminal acts to take place on the streets of Tustin? Why would the city of Tustin promote criminal
activity such as that already associated with this specific clinic in its current location not far from Tustin?
in Oceanside they allowed a clinic similar to the one being proposed for Tustin. Oceanside had a huge
homeless encampment that came about because a clinic such as this was allowed in the area. It took
Oceanside years to clean up the area. Does the city of Tustin really want to take these risks with the
health and welfare of those who live and work in Tustin by allowing unsupervised active drug addicts
wandering around our streets and neighborhoods?
Within the city we already have considerable crime from the homeless community. Our police force is
tasked with the burden of trying to control this problem and they are losing the battle. The police are
reactionary,acting after the fact,and they do not have a solution to control the problem. Just in the last
week alone in Wellington Plaza,at the intersection of 11 Street and Centennial,we have had one man set
himself on fire in the trash container area. In another incident three men tied the inside of the trash
container doors closed (essentially locking it) and were doing drugs. Another man was living inside a
utility closet and yet another person was living on an elevated trellis balcony that is cosmetic only and
surrounds the building;to walk on it is very dangerous and in no way was intended to support a human.
This is the homeless activity in one week that we know of in Wellington Plaza exactly next door to 535 E.
1St Street. Females,and all people,working in the area are very nervous and continually on the lookout
in this area for homeless trouble. They are very waryof what is already occurring in this area and installing
an active addict clinic will only heighten all of our concerns and bring even more criminal activity to the
area. With the homeless issue out of control it is hard to imagine why the city of Tustin would bring in an
even worse problem of active drug addicts and allow them to wander around our city at will and add
criminal activity similar to what they are already causing in Santa Ana on a daily basis. The homeless
services system in Tustin is broken and allowing almost 1,004 active drug addicts per week to walk
WELLINGTON PLAZA ASSOCIATION
17662 Irvine Blvd,Suite 5,Tustin,CA 82780
unsupervised on our street every week will attract more homeless to the area and will create a
humanitarian crisis within our city. This approval will create additional criminal activity that our police are
not equipped to Dandle or resolve.
THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT NEARBY BIJSINESSE &RESIDENTS
The heading for this paragraph is only partially true. Actually,approval of this facility will negatively impact
all of Tustin,to include all its residents,its businesses, all its restaurants and all of its landowners. There
are already enough of these types of facilities with Orange County, in fact the parent company already
operates two drug related facilities in the County. There is more than sufficient clinics to support this type
of issue and we certainly do not need another one,we definitely do not need one anywhere in Tustin.
Once this facility is up and operating,we will experience loitering of active drug addicts in the area. Many
of them will still be using drugs and they will inflict their addiction on the community. This will place the
patrons of local restaurants in harm's way when they have to wade into potentially dangerous situations
in order to eat,shop,or take a walk around the neighborhood. This will have the effect of causing people
to stay clear of the area and people will refuse to come to restaurants in the neighborhood. The entire
service industry in Tustin will be affected.
The potential of active drug addicted people, some who are mentally unstable, will create a negative
reputation for the area, which will soon cause current individuals in the area to stop coming to the area
and will cause existing businesses to lose customers. Tustin promotes itself that people should work
where they must, but Tustin wants them to live and play in Tustin. That will no longer be the case. If
people are scared to come into an area because the area has become drug infested,businesses will suffer
with a drop in sales and may even have to close or move. We are certain the City of Tustin would not
want to see that happen in a city that is beautiful and is building our future while honoring our past. If
this CUP is approved,it will damage Tustin's future and will certainly not honor our past by putting those
of us who have worked hard to help make Tustin a desirable community at risk.
Within the immediate vicinity is Columbus Tustin Middle School. Many of the children have to walk by
the proposed clinic on the way to and from school. Does the city really want to accept the liability of
exposing children to the existence of active drug addicts on our street among the children trying to get to
and from school? There are many residential communities within a few hundred yards of this proposed
facility. To name just a few there is Town Center Apartments, Tustin Plaza Apartments, Pickwick Manor
Apartments, and Stonegate Apartments within a stone's throw of the proposed active drug addict clinic.
Of the hundreds of businesses within this area,there are dozens of restaurants that relyon the foot traffic
in the area. Over time that foot traffic will disappear, and those potential customers will find other
restaurants to enjoy. The city approval of an active drug addict clinic in this area will negatively affect the
lives of literally thousands of Tustin children, residents, and businesses and for this reason alone should
be denied by the Planning Commission.
To demonstrate haw poorly planned this decision is a spokesperson for the dialysis center on the ground
floor of 535 E 1�Street(the active addict clinic is proposed to occupy the 2114 floor of this building)did not
know that this use was being considered for the second floor of the building they are already renting in.
The city and the owner of the building had failed to notify them. They stated that they had moved to
Tustin from Santa Ana specifically to get away from this same methadone clinic that moved Into 2101 E.
1St Street near where the dialysis center used to be located_ The dialysis center left Santa Ana in order not
WELLINGTON PLAZA ASSOCiATiON
17662 Irvine Bivd,Suite 5,Tustin,CA 92780
to be in the same neighborhood as the methadone clinic. They felt the neighborhood would be negatively
impacted. They did not want their dialysis patients mixing every day with active drug addicts. it is bad
enough that people have to be subjected to dialysis treatment,but it should not be compounded by active
drug addicts surrounding people who are already weakened by their condition. The dialysis treatment
center felt that being around active drug addicts would be problematic for their patients. Based on the
Santa Ana Police Report(attached as an addendum)regarding the criminal activity surroundingthat clinic,
almost every day,the decision by the dialysis center to move was justified.
While we are all sympathetic to the mentally ill and drug addiction, the citizens of Tustin do not believe
that this location is appropriate for a drug treatment clinic. There are numerous alternatives in Orange
County that are already available to active drug addicted users. Putting an active unsupervised drug
addiction clinic in this location will result in changing the character of the neighborhood and eventually
the entire downtown area of Tustin. As such the Planning Commission should deny CUP 2022-0009
because of its negative impact on the area and specifically local business.
THIS DRUG TREATMENT CLINIC IS BEiNG CONSIDERED BECAUSE OF FLAVUS IN THE ZONING IN THE
DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CORE S?ECi1FiC PLAN
This specific plan is flawed. Within its general zoning criteria, it allows for the use of a medical clinic for
outpatient only. it does not differentiate between a methadone active drug addict clinic and any other
kind of clinic. The authors of that plan should have recognized this flaw in their plan and made corrections
that did not allow an active drug addicted clinic as a use under any circumstances. They cannot directly
get approval but according to the way the plan is written they can obtain approval through the CUP
process. The Planning Commission hands may be tied since they have no discretion but to follow the way
the zoning in-the specific plan was written. This DCCSP should specifically deny the approval of a drug
addict clinic, a methadone clinic, or any clinic that dispenses any medication to active drug addicts or
anyone else.
To point out how flawed this specific plan is in 2027 a sports physical therapist who had his office on El
Camino Real for many years,decided he wanted to move into Wellington Plaza. This was a use that was
compatible to the specific plan and to the Wellington Plaza CC&R's. This sports therapist had only himself
in the office at any time and one patient at a time. The Planning Commission worked on his request for
months and finally rejected it stating he impacted the parking in Wellington Plaza. His suite would have
been 700 sf and based on his program he and his patient would have been the only two people in the
suite at any given time, so they would be using two parking spaces. They strung his request along for so
long that he finally gave up and moved to Santa Ana. He was already operating a good business in the city
of Tustin, and they rejected him. There are many horror stories regarding perfectly good uses that have
been denied or delayed by the Planning Commission. It is hard to imagine how they can now be giving
serious consideration to an active drug addict clinic. A clinic that has no business even being considered
within the business area of Tustin. This shows the inconsistencies when small business owners with a
legitimate quality business are denied by the city while a multi-million-dollar operation is given
consideration that should never be forthcoming.
This is not simplya technical issue that can be approved or disapproved by the Planning Commission based
on the zoning allowed in the DCCSP. A more important aspect of the decision requires the city to use
some good judgment in deciding what is right and proper for those who already reside within the city
limits and those who work in Tustin and also those who own property within the city. Should the Planning
WELLINGTON PLAZA ASSOCIATION
17662 Irvine Blvd,Suite 5,Tustin,CA 92780
Commission ignore their responsibilities to the overall current population within Tustin and approve this
CUP then they will be guilty of gross negligence as it applies to the existing population already in Tustin.
The Planning Commission will be working against the best interests of the community and the city.
By allowing these clear flaws to exist in the DCCSP the city has placed the burden on the residents and the
business owners of Tustin to step up and point out to the city that what they are considering should never
even get this far in the planning process and should be denied. This is a tragedy that this is allowed to
happen because the DCCSP has flaws in it that is allowing this type of active addict clinic to be considered.
It should be in the same category as porn stores, sex shops, and other uses that should be immediately
rejected. The Planning Commission should not have to give any thought, consideration or time to this
type of use in our quality city. This type of use should never be considered under any circumstances,and
the Planning Commission should deny the CUP.
NOTICE
The City of Tustin's Municipal Ordinance is constitutionally deficient in terms of its notice period. Further,
the actual notice was not received by most of the businesses within 300 feet of the proposed facility,this
is a major deficiency in the cities notice procedures,since the same thing happened when they proposed
the DCCSP. It almost appears as if the Planning Commission is trying to sneak this CUP approval through
without the citizens of Tustin ever being aware of it. Hardly anyone within the designated area was
noticed as to the hearing. The Tustin city notice system is flawed and needs to be reviewed and fixed so
that every business within the control area is notified. In fact,an issue of this magnitude needs to have a
greater than 300 feet notification distance since a user such as this active drug addicted addict's clinic
affects the entire community, not just the small area of 300 feet surrounding 535 E 15s Street. The burden
is on the city to ensure people are properly noticed. 1t should not be on the citizens of Tustin. The actual
notice given to residents and businesses in the designated area failed to comply with both the Municipal
Code and the constitutional due process requirements.
CONCLUSION
Approval of the Conditional Use Permit 2022-0009 presents a serious dangerto the health,welfare,safety,
morals, comfort and the general well-being of people living within Tustin and residing or working within
proximity to this proposed location.
As such,the Wellington Plaza Association Board and all Forty(40)assessor parcel owners of Wellington
Plaza Office Condominium Association, owners of the property adjacent to the proposed property,
unequivocally state that the:
CUP 2022-0009 SHOULD BE DENIED IN ITS ENTlRErY.
Sincerely,
Wellington Plaza Association Board of Directors

Subject: Public Hearing on Opening of Out-Patient Opioid Clinic
To whomever it may concern,
Thank you for allowing this hearing to be public. As a work from home resident that uses the shopping centers in the
area of the proposed clinic, I would like to applaud the effort to help clean up the community.The war on drugs has
been a catastrophic failure and the resulting influx of the ill into our jails has led to violent criminals being released for
lack of space to house them. Addicts are not criminals for the act of addiction and drug policy that pushes addicts into
jail instead of getting the medical help they need to recover is an undue burden on the taxpayers and law enforcement.
Police should not be arresting the addicts but calling social workers or ambulatory staff to help them get the medical
attention they need.
Without clinics like these, our communities would be flooded by transients and addicts with nowhere to go and get help.
Unfortunately many residents in the area are opposed to this bastion of medical help for a number of reasons. Many of
the folks petitioning and protesting this clinic are behaving selfishly.We believe this position due to profiling and broad
assumptions from the fake news media. In many communities this is referred to as NIMBY(Not In My Back Yard) policy,
rather than working with the community,these folks choose to selfishly think only of themselves and are opposed to the
proactive steps being taken to help alleviate the ongoing addiction problem in this country.
Rather than reaching out to law enforcement to help encourage community policing and neighborhood watches, these
folks simply bury their heads in the sand and scream "not in my neighborhood" without understanding city planning and
community fellowship.The scarcity of available housing and real estate (commercial and otherwise) should mean that
free space be utilized as efficiently as possible. With that in mind the location is,while not perfect, sufficient to the
needs of such a clinic and community.
If the concern is that there will be transients and homeless encampments springing up in that area,why then does the
city not mandate that the clinic hire quality security to help manage the patient traffic? It's a basic human right to live
and denying folks that are actively seeking help for their addiction problems should not be punished or forced to seek
help far from their places of living. I feel that classism and perhaps even veiled racism is driving some residents to
oppose the proposed clinic. We must not allow this to continue to perpetuate, and we must make a concerted effort to
proactively help solve the addiction problem in our country, state, county, and city. I believe this community can come
together to help solve the problem and uplift those less fortunate and ill, it is the American way to protect the right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thank you for receiving my email.
