Justina, I hope all is going well with you.
I am emailing you in regards to the above referenced CUP. I know that it has been postponed off of
the Planning Commission Agenda for tonight's meeting.
For the record as a former City Councilmember I wish to object to the proposed use so close to
residential areas and schools.This would, in my mind, certainly be an incompatible use since the
building is across the parking lot from a large condominium complex. Plus it is about a block away
from Columbus Tustin Middle School.The hours of operation for this proposed Center will be
operating as middle school children are walking to school, and certainly pose a potential safety risk.
There are also non-gated office buildings very close by, which could also be affected by participants
of this proposed use.
I would ask that the Planning Commission decline this CUP use as being incompatible to the other
surrounding uses.
Thank you.

Hi Raymond/Leila,
POD received a call from Leticia Padilla (sp?) re the item at 535 E. First Street on the 9/27/22 PC
Agenda. She asked if there were any changes to the agenda. I spoke with her briefly and stated that the public hearing
would be opened but then given that the applicant has submitted a reasonable accommodation request, that the staff
recommendation is to continue the meeting to a future date. I also informed her that the item would be re-noticed
prior to the date of that future meeting. She had further questions about the notification radius that was used and I
provided her with Raymond's contact details. She indicated she would be contacting him directly.
@Leila—just confirming, do you want the planners to track the calls received on this project? Please confirm.
Thanks,

Subject:Comment& Questions regarding Acadia Healthcare out-patient treatment and Counseling
Hello!
Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to attend the public hearing tomorrow as I had hoped to provide my
comments and questions in real time and would appreciate them being contributed to the hearing.
I was unaware of this project until some members in my community approached me about signing a petition against
this.They were not able to give me much information other than their concerns about the likelihood of an increase in
homeless people in the area and encampments coming to the city as a result of approving this facility. I believe in
providing resources and support for those suffering from drug addiction. We have a terrible drug epidemic in this
country and it only seems to be getting worse. So I did not sign the petition because I wanted to know more. My brother
recently completed his dissertation working with the drug addict community and some of the problems they face. I am
not the expert but the little I learned from him showed me how many misconceptions and fears many people have
about those suffering from drug addiction. I know the members in my community are good caring people and I can
understand their concern. But I want to do my part to make sure any concerns we have are based on fact and not any
misconceptions or unfounded fears. Below are some questions I have that could help us to better know the likelihood of
there being an increase of hornlessness or an encampment. I am not sure if these have already been asked or answered
in a previous hearing but I would appreciate the answers.
1. What acuity of substance abuse are you going to treat?What is the scope of work?
2. What policies will you have for people to stay in the program?
3. Will you have security? ( guards or cameras etc.?)
4. What kind of insurance will you accept? (Private or public or both?)
5. Will the people you treat come to you as a referral or will walk-ins be accepted?
6. Will medication be dispensed daily?
I have lived in Tustin for about 8 years and I love it here. I really hope that we can find a way to provide these much
needed resources and maintain or even improve the things we love about our city.Thank you!
-Tanya

Tustin, CA 92780
RE: Objection to Conditional Use Permit(CUP) 2022-0009
Dear Honorable Mayor Lumbard, City Council and Planning Commission:
Thank you for your past and present efforts to protect us, citizens of our City of Tustin.
We object to the granting of CUP 2022-0009 at 535 E. 1st Street, Tustin, California 92780, for a
dispensing drug or methadone clinic operated by California Treatment Services, et al, ("CTS")
next door to us, or anywhere nearby in our community.
I am personally informed by many colleagues, business associates, neighbors both residential and
business, all of whom express their alarm and concern at installation of such a drug dispensing
facility on our doorstep, all of whom are within less than three hundred (300) feet from the CTS
proposed drug dispensary.
We presently have substantial problems with drug induced incidents, homeless invading our
buildings on site, sleeping on our doorsteps, needles and all manner of paraphernalia and human
waste littered on our entrances and walkways, including destruction of our buildings, hardscape
and landscaping.
We now experience substantial cases of breaking and entering, destruction of our electrical,
telephone, Internet and security systems in our utilities rooms, prying eyes into our offices, and
accosting of our employees by drug induced individuals who exhibit erratic and frightening
behavior to our employees, clients,patients, customers and children. This already occurs on a
frequent basis to the residences and businesses which are within three hundred feet of the
proposed CTS drug facility, and beyond.
Crime is dramatically escalating in our own community directly due to drugs and homelessness
which are causing great local anxiety and distress. I am informed by owners of many nearby
businesses that they are increasing their security company personnel at great expense, security
measures and seeking to obtain CCW licenses in order to protect their families, employees,
customers, clients, as well as residential and business premises. I am also informed many owners
and tenants will seek to relocate out of the City of Tustin if this drug facility is opened.
Honorable Mayor Austin Lumbard
Members of the City Council
Tustin City Planning Commission

The Tustin Police are very familiar with these situations, which are legion. The Santa Ana Police
have extensive records of drug and other criminal activities at CTS's current location in Santa
Ana.
Our most recent incident being last week when three men shooting up with needles were
discovered in our trash dumpster at 3:OOpm., by an employee who was startled and frightened
when she opened the trash area doors. The Police Report should be on file indicating further
violations occurring during that incident.
I have already been informed if the applicant drug-methadone clinic is approved, many of my
clients will not come to our offices in the future out of fear for their safety. I have heard this
sentiment from nearby medical, dental, legal, financial, high-end retail, food services, other
businesses, and very importantly, from multiple families in immediate vicinity including the
apartment homes next door, many with young children.
You are in office to protect our City, its residents and businesses as you stated in your Oath of
Office, and as in the Honorable Mayor's Welcome Statement which states in part, "[ ] to improve
the quality of life for all who live and work here by promoting a healthy balance of safe
neighborhoods..."
Please reject the CUP 2022-0009 application, do not approve it.

Dear Ms. Carver,
Thank you for your information. Please be advised that the 40 owners, in addition to the tenants, at Wellington Plaza,
directly adjacent to the subject property for which the City Planning Commission is considering CUP 2022-0009, are
vehemently opposed to this use in our community. We want our rejection of all forty of our owners to the Planning
Commissions CUP to be documented in the body of your public report. You will be receiving a letter detailing our
objections as to why we are opposed to this CUP. We cannot believe that such a disastrous use would be considered for
one second by anyone in the city. We believe there are no businesses or residents within the city of Tustin that approve
this use in our city. We already have a homeless problem that the city cannot fix that is causing havoc with many
businesses. We do not want or need almost 1,000 active drug addicts per week walking unsupervised on the streets of
Tustin. We expect a flood of written rejections from residents and businesses alike to stop your considering such a
disastrous use in our city.
Sincerely,
Ian B. Carter

Dear Leila:
I left you a voicemail as a follow up to our letter objecting to approval of the subject Conditional Use Permit and to
obtain validation for some rumors we have heard. We plan to attend the Public Hearing on September 27, 2022. We
have heard that the attorney for California Treatment Services has asked for another delay to sometime in November
while they amend their petition. We see no reason to delay and see nothing they can say or do that will change the
position of the residents and business owners within Tustin that vehemently object to this use being in our city.
The Wellington Plaza Owners Association opposes such a delay and we want the public hearing to move ahead as
scheduled on September 27, 2022. The attorney has already asked for one delay because when they realized how great
the objections from the city toward this use was they decided that they needed more time for the objecting noise to
subside. We believe another delay is simply a ploy to try to get the uproar to go down in order for them to try to get
through this matter without a public hearing. Please let us know if we can expect the hearing to proceed as planned on
September 27, 2022 and please send me a copy of the Planning Commission's position.
Thank you,
Ian B. Carter

Subject: WE OPPOSE THE OPIOD CENTER
Please understand as a business owner in Tustin, and local residents, we do NOT want and do NOT support the Opiod
Center that is being proposed in the heart of Tustin on First Street.
The buildings behind the proposed buildings is a large pediatrician medical group, and a pediatric dentist. We do not
support the type of clientele this will bring to the heart of Tustin.
This is not going to serve local Tustin residents, it will be busing and dropping off a troublesome clientele.This should be
located by a hospital and one that has the appropriate security to deal with this.
This is going to cause issues for our city, our amazing police department, and Tustin should not allow this to happen.This
idea was rejected before when a center was proposed on Newport Ave.Tustin didn't want it then, and we don't want it
now.

Subject: Proposed drug treatment center
The location proposed for a drug treatment center is basically adjacent to Palmwood, a 98 unit condominium
complex. Next to Palmwood is an apartment complex. A 40 unit high density townhome project is being planned for the
Tustin Business Center land, 2-plus acres, next to Palmwood's Irvine Blvd. side. Columbus Tustin Middle School and
park are located across Irvine Blvd. from Palmwood and the proposed townhomes.
Students from the middle school who walk to school or, perhaps, use public transportation to and from Santa Ana, are
walking daily near the area proposed for this treatment center.

Drug treatment centers should NOT be located near schools, parks, and residential areas!!! There are available
locations, I am sure, in south Tustin out on Red Hill Avenue, near the Orange County Rescue Mission - or something in a
more commercial area of Tustin Legacy. I am sure these are on bus routes, too.
Please think of the safety factor for Tustin - our children, seniors, all of us. Relocate this project!

the city does not prioritize protecting its community. That is your responsibility. The proposed move of the OPIOD Clinic
to our city means more crime and violence. Being woke and progressive might be politically correct, but it does nothing

Dear Ms. Carver,
I am the COO of Americana Senior Care and the Property Manager of Americana Project One, the owner of
111 Fashion Lane.
We are located next door to the proposed opioid treatment center at 535 E. First Street.
Our building operates a senior day center with licenses from the Department of Public Health and Department
of Aging to provide health and care services for the elderly.
1
In our building are also a Physical & Occupational Therapy Center, a Medical Esthetics Office, and other
services to promote wellness.
Over the past seven years since our company operated this building, we have had to deal multiple times with
the homeless breaking in, loitering on our property, sleeping, littering, defecating, tampering and even
damaging our building (including smashing windows). We can only forsee things getting worse if this drug
treatment center opens.
It doesn't help that we are at the end of the bus line. But with the drug treatment center next to us, it is highly
worrisome that a loitering situation will arise from drug addicts and the homeless, whose excuse is that they
are undergoing treatment at this center. And with the clinic opening at 5 am, what better excuse than to hang
around our building after hours, waiting for the center to open.
We are all for recovery and wellness. However, this should be in a location that does not create problems for
neighboring businesses and their clientele, and we doubt the City, the Treatment Center and Tustin Police can
guarantee that no problems will arise from this operation.
Attached please find the petition against CUP-2022-0009 signed by the people working in our building.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Hello planning commission. I found out recently about plan for a methadone clinic near my neighborhood. It distresses
me greatly to think of attracting an unhoused, addicted population to Tustin. We are raising a family and primarily
concerned for the safety and well-being of our children (age 6 and 9). 1 like to encourage my children's independence,
but its hard to let them bike over to a friends house on their own or to the corner store if there are unsafe people
lingering around. Please send the methadone clinic to a different city, not Tustin.

Subject: "SpeakUp" Comments for CUP 2022-0009 Public Hearing on 09.27.2022
City of Tustin Planning Commission,
We are deeply concerned by the recent application for an outpatient treatment center for drug addiction, less than a
half mile away from our home and business. We oppose the application as it will be injurious and detrimental to the
surrounding area.
My wife and I moved to Tustin in July 1999.We raised our children in our home located at the cross streets of Irvine
Boulevard and Prospect. I started a business 12 years ago in 2010 in Tustin, a half mile away from our home at the cross
streets of Fashion Lane and 15t Street.
We, like many in our community, are saddened and troubled by the increase of drug addiction and homelessness. We
support local charities (such as OC Rescue Mission) and churches (such as Trinity United Presbyterian)to help with the
overwhelming need for those suffering in Central Orange County.
Healthy communities are the product of their people and the genuine interest they have for their neighborhoods and
each other.This balance can be disrupted by outside influences that do not share the same genuine interest for the
betterment of the community.
The application to open a treatment center for opioid addicts by Acadia Healthcare is an outside influence that will
disrupt our community. Acadia Healthcare is a publicly traded company with $2.3 billion in revenue and 20,000
employees nationwide.
They are not a local, non-profit, healthcare provider simply caring for those in need rather a public corporation meeting
the needs of their shareholders.Their revenue and profitability growth depends on the expansion of treatment centers.
They call this expansion a "lever of growth...operating in a highly attractive market" in their financial report. We are a
demographic that fits their profile for profitability.
There are 10 other treatment centers within a mile radius of this location and there is no need for another within
proximity of these homes and businesses.The biggest concern is the sheer number of drug addicts, up to 140 per day,
that will seek treatment in this location.
Drug addiction and homelessness often correlate with each other and several questions come to mind: How are they
transported to our area for treatment?Where do they go after treatment? How long does treatment last(days, weeks,
months, years)?What if they do not want to get sober?Will security be increased in all surrounding office complexes
and retail centers to prevent an increase in crime and loitering?
1
Over the past 5 years, I have experienced an increase in homelessness around my office building which is across the
street from the proposed location. We have had homeless sleeping outside our offices, bathing in our fountain, and
breaking into our bathrooms.This will only exacerbate the issue by adding more potentially homeless people to the
area.
I feel for our police department which have done an incredible job ebbing the tide of homeless that attempt to loiter in
our area. But there is a threshold where the balance swings and it's impossible to keep up with the tide and we find
ourselves overwhelmed.This treatment center, treating up to 140 addicts per day, could tip the scales.
I plead with the planning commission to not approve the CUP, it is in the best interests of our community.
Thank you for considering.

eComment: I'm a business owner in 161 Fashion Ln. I'm concerned this CUP will bring an
undesirable element to the area. I've been told that in places where treatment centers open there
is an uptick of theft and break-ins. The sheer amount of people (the proposed 700-800 per week)
being treated will bring a high traffic of drug use and related behaviors. This being so close to my
business, I would have to move so that my clients would feel comfortable coming to my office.

idea of this type of business moving into our area. Not only does it feel like a completely out of

creating a safe and comfortable environment for my clients to feel at ease. Needless to say, this
addition to our neighborhood would do the opposite.

Subject: Proposed opioid clinic
Good Morning, Ms. Carver—
Please be advised that as a resident of North Tustin, I am contacting you to voice my grave concerns and strong
opposition to the proposal facing the Planning Commission to relocate an opioid clinic from Santa Ana to Tustin.
I would think that the nearly 150 police reported incidents between January and August of this year at the Santa Ana
location would be adequate evidence for the Planning Commission to be dissuaded from giving any consideration to this
proposed relocation. This is a family oriented community; the local businesses serve families. The potential danger
posed to families and their children residing here is real.
There exist in the Santa Ana area a plethora of business parks and other neutral areas where the relocation of the
clinic would not pose the same sort of threat.
I suggest that the Planning Commission has a moral obligation to the Tustin community it serves to protect it from this
potential danger.
Thank you for your time.
