A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
2022-0012 AUTHORIZING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
VETERINARY SPECIALTY CLINIC AT 2937 AND 2945
EDINGER AVENUE.
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 20220012
was filed by Dr. Richard Pankowski on behalf of Veterinary Surgical
Specialists of Orange County (VSSOC) requesting authorization to
establish a veterinary specialty clinic use within a 10,400 square-foot
tenant space located at 2937 and 2945 Edinger Avenue.
B. That the subject properties are located within the Jamboree Plaza
Planned Community District and the Planned Community Industrial (PC
IND) General Plan land use designation where the proposed use is
authorized. Pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Jamboree Plaza Planned
Community District Regulations, veterinary specialty clinics are subject
to approval of a CUP.
C. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2022-
0012 on November 8, 2022 by the Planning Commission.
D. That in determining whether to approve the CUP the Planning
Commission must determine that the establishment, maintenance, and
operation of the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of this
case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general
welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such
proposed use, and 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:
1. The proposed veterinary specialty clinic, as conditioned, would not
be detrimental to, or have a negative effect on, surrounding
properties in that the proposed facility is located within a center
where on-site parking is satisfied as determined by the number of
spaces allotted to the tenant spaces and a parking study prepared
by a traffic engineering firm.
2. Operations of the veterinary specialty clinic would be regulated and
monitored by State and County regulatory agencies including:
Orange County Fire Authority, the Orange County Health Care
Agency, the Orange County Integrated Waste Management
Department, and the California Department of Health Services.
Resolution No. 4459

3. The proposed use would not have any aesthetic impacts to the area
since no major exterior modifications are proposed.
4. The proposed hours of operation are compatible with other uses and
would not cause any operational conflicts.
5. As conditioned, no noise impacts are anticipated in that all activities
shall be conducted entirely within the building and would be required
to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance.
6. The proposed operation includes animal care and storage of
biohazardous, medical, and sharps wastes would take place within
the interior of building.
7. As conditioned, CUP 2022-0012 may be reviewed on an annual
basis, or more often if necessary, by the Community Development
Director. If the use is not operated in accordance with CUP 2022-
0012 or is found to be a nuisance or negative impacts are affecting
the surrounding uses, the Community Development Director would
have the authority to impose additional conditions to eliminate the
nuisance or negative impacts or may initiate proceedings to revoke
the CUP.
8. That the parking demand study demonstrates that no substantial
conflict will exist in the peak hours of parking demand for any of the
uses within Phase III. The study concluded that the number of
parking spaces for the proposed use will not exceed the number of
spaces available during the peak hours of operation.
9. The proposed use, as conditioned, will not be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood in that all activities would
take place within the building. In particular, animals would be treated
and housed within the building, and as conditioned, dogs and cats
are the only animals that can receive treatment at the proposed
facility.
E. That this project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (Class
1) of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines
for the California Environmental Quality Act).
11. The Planning Commission hereby approves CUP 2022-0012, authorizing the
establishment of a veterinary specialty clinic at a 10,400 square-foot building
tenant space located at 2937 and 2945 Edinger Avenue.
