APPLICANT: STRATA TUSTIN, LLC C/O STRATA PROPERTIES 4770 VON KARMAN AVENUE NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92660 ATTN: JEFF MAYHEW LOCATION: 14111 NEWPORT AVENUE ZONING: PLANNED COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: THIS PROJECT IS STATUARY EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 15270 OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT REQUEST: AUTHORIZATION TO BUILD A ONE-STORY COMMERCIAL RETAIL BUILDING 2,808 SQUARE FEET IN AREA APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) FEET FROM THE EXISTING NEWPORT AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH NINE (9) ON-SITE PARKING SPACES RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4033 denying the request to construct the proposed retail building at four (4) feet to the property line along Newport Avenue. That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4034 directing the applicant to work with staff redesigning the site to meet the required development standards. BACKGROUND The project site is 8,164 square feet and located at the northwest corner of Newport Avenue and Mitchell Avenue within Newport Avenue's commercial corridor south of the Interstate 5 Freeway. On January 17, 2006, the applicant submitted plans for development of the site with an approximately 2,800 square foot retail building located approximately four (4) feet from the property line along Newport Avenue. Construction of a retail building within a commercial district is typically reviewed and approved by Planning Commission Report DR 06-004 August 28, 2006 Page 2 staff. Staff reviewed the request and required a ten (10) foot irrevocable offer of dedication along Newport Avenue for future street-widening consistent with The Tustin General Plan and a twenty (20) foot setback from Mitchell Avenue right-of-way for parking stalls. The applicant is not desirous of providing the dedication and the setback and requested that the Planning Commission consider his request to allow construction of the retail building at the proposed location. In accordance with Tustin City Code Section 9272, consideration of this design review has been deferred to the Planning Commission. The project was originally scheduled for the August 14, 2006 meeting of the Planning Commission. The applicant was unable to attend the meeting and the request was continued to the August 28, 2006 meeting. Site and Surrounding Properties The site is located within the Planned Community Commercial (PC-C) zoning district and Community Commercial General Plan Land Use Designation. The site is bounded by commercial uses to the north, south and east and residential uses to the west (Attachment A - Location Map). DISCUSSION The project is the residual parcel of a commercial area between the 1-5 Freeway and Mitchell Avenue and is currently developed with an approximately 1,200 square foot office building that was converted from a residential use in 1982. The office building is currently vacant and the applicant is proposing to redevelop the site with a 2,800 square foot retail building. The adjacent northerly commercial site included a comprehensive planned community with two phases that was approved in January 8, 1990 (Attachment B - Resolution No. 2731). The initial phase which included a drive-through Carl's Jr. and a multiple-tenant commercial building along the freeway was completed in early 1990s. The second phase of the project was recently approved and constructed by Strata Properties which includes an approximately 10,500 square foot multiple-tenant building. The original conditional use permit approval did not have an expiration date for the entitlement, included more lenient parking standards for commercial development (1/250 instead of 1/200), and since at that time Newport Avenue was classified as a Primary Arterial on the City's Circulation Element and the County MPAH, required no dedications along Newport Avenue. The development standards applicable to the initial phase were honored with entitlement of the second phase of the project. However, since the project site (14111 Newport Avenue) was under separate ownership at the time and not included in the master site plan, the entitlement would not be applicable to this site. Planning Commission Report DR 06-004 August 28, 2006 Page 3 Site Plan/Access The applicant is proposing to situate the building at the corner of the site to create a focal point for the center. Access to the site is provided from Mitchell Avenue and Newport Avenue through the adjacent commercial site. Nine (9) standard parking spaces are proposed on the westerly portion of the site including a disabled stall with a loading area (Attachment C - Submitted Plans). Based on the approved parking ratio for this site (1/250), a total of eleven (11) parking spaces would be required. Since the on-site parking spaces are deficient to satisfy the parking requirement, the applicant is proposing to record a reciprocal access and parking covenant in order to use two (2) of the four (4) excess parking spaces provided on the adjacent site. In addition, the trash enclosure on the 14071-14091 Newport Avenue site also will be jointly used. A reduction in the number of off-site parking spaces is subject to approval of a joint-use parking approval by the Zoning Administrator which can be considered when the site plan design is finalized (Tustin City Code Section 9271aa). With the proposed site plan, the first parking stall along Mitchell Avenue is located nine (9) feet from the property line. The City's Parking Design Standards require a minimum twenty (20) foot setback for the first parking stall. The proposed site plan does not meet that requirement and the applicant has requested a deviation from the standard since the current configuration of the parking lot is similar to the proposed design. To provide for safe ingress and egress into this parking space and to maintain adequate on-site circulation, this requirement has been adhered to for new development and staff believes that reducing this standard to nine (9) feet could jeopardize on-site circulation and safety. General Plan Requirement The Newport Avenue arterial, south of the 1-5 freeway is noted as a modified major 6- lane arterial in the City's General Plan and the existing right-of-way is 100 feet. A major six to eight lane arterial is defined as divided roadway with a right-of-way width of 120 to 144 feet and a curb to curb pavement of 102 to 126 feet. The General Plan also states that when the traffic volumes warrant a major arterial highway in areas where a full 120 to 144 feet of right-of-way is not feasible due to existing structures or topography, a lesser right-of-way (no less than 100 feet) can be used to accommodate a six-lane facility, which is referred to as a "Modified Major." Therefore with the existing 100 foot right-of-way width, the existing structures contribute to the road classification of Newport Avenue south of the 1-5 freeway as a Modified Major facility. The proposed configuration of the building will encroach approximately six (6) feet into the ultimate Newport Avenue right-of-way. The right-of-way dedication was not required on the initial phases of the commercial development south of the freeway when the entitlement was approved over 20 years ago. At that time Newport Avenue was classified as a Primary Arterial on the City's Circulation Element and the County MPAH. Planning Commission Report DR 06-004 Augus128,2006 Page 4 However, it should be also noted that no buildings are constructed within these areas and the parking and landscaping improvements can be reconfigured if necessary. Construction of the proposed retail building within the ultimate right-of-way can have a significant effect and will not implement the circulation goals defined by the City's General Plan. Staff is not supportive of the proposed project based on the following findings: · At the project location Newport Avenue is classified as a 6-lane Major Arterial within a "modified" Right-of-Way on the Tustin Circulation Element. The "modified" qualifier is used in cases when projected traffic volumes dictate the classification, but physical constraints, such as structures or topography, restrict Right-of-Way (ROW). The road is presently constructed to a Primary Arterial standard within a 100 foot ROW (50 foot half section). · Since there are no existing physical constraints and the site will be cleared in preparation for construction of a new building. This will allow the dedication of Right-of-Way to meet the 6-lane Major Arterial classification, which is a 60 foot half section. Although physical widening of Newport Avenue will not be required at this time, dedication of an additional 10 feet of ROW at this time will eliminate the need for acquisition at this location when Newport Avenue is widened in the future. · On the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) Newport Avenue at this location is classified as a Major Arterial, which is a 6-lane divided road within a 120 foot ROW. As required by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), the City of Tustin Circulation Element is in conformance with the MPAH. · One of the fundamental findings associated with approving projects is consistency among the general plan, zoning and land use approvals. There are direct relationships between land use approvals, site development, circulation and traffic impacts. For the City to be eligible for combined transportation funding (i.e., Measure M funding), the City's Circulation Element must be consistent with the MPAH and hence consistency means that the Circulation Element must provide for the planned carrying capacity of the MPAH. In this case Newport Avenue is a Major Arterial which is a six-lane divided highway that will ultimately carry 50,000 average daily trips at Level of Service D. Each year the City Council adopts a resolution attesting no unilateral action has been taken that would reduce planned carrying capacity of the MPAH. Projects that are not found consistent with the General Plan should not be approved or conversely the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), the MPAH, and the General Plan should be amended which are greater considerations. These considerations include roadway capacity transferred to other arterial highways within the Master Plan and involvement of other cities and agencies to review and provide input on impact analyses on all other impacted arterials. The City receives approximately Planning Commission Report DR 06-004 August 28, 2006 Page 5 $1 million per year in local turn back funds. Lack of consistency will cause the City to become ineligible for these funds. Further, the City may not be eligible to compete for other competitive transportation funds that are applied for an annual basis. · As proposed eleven (11) on-site parking spaces are required. Joint-use parking approval by the Zoning Administrator can be considered when the site plan design is finalized and all requirements are met. . With the proposed site plan, the first parking stall along Mitchell Avenue is located nine (9) feet from the property line. The City's Parking Design Standards require a minimum twenty (20) foot setback for the first parking stall to provide for adequate ingress and egress into this parking space and to maintain adequate on-site circulation. This requirement has been adhered to for new development and reducing this standard to nine (9) feet could jeopardize on-site circulation and safety. ~~~ Minoo Ashabi Associate Planner &~~d{~~~ ,~ Elizabeth A.

AND NEWPORT AVE.) AT APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) FEET FROM THE EXISTING NEWPORT AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY I. The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin hereby finds and determines as follows: A. A design review application was filed by Strata Tustin LLC on January 17, 2006, to construct an approximately 2,800 square foot retail building located at 14111 Newport Avenue at approximately four (4) feet from the existing Newport Avenue right-of-way. B. The property is located at the northwest corner of Mitchell Avenue and Newport Avenue within a Planned Community Commercial (PC-C) zoning district and the Community Commercial General Plan land use designation where retail development is outright permitted. C. Due to General Plan, zoning and parking lot design requirements, the applicant was required to locate the building at (10) feet to the property line and provide an irrevocable offer of dedication for future Newport Avenue street widening, setback the first parking stall twenty feet from the property line along Mitchell Avenue, and provide a minimum of eleven (11) on-site parking spaces. The applicant is desirous of using two (2) of excess parking spaces in the adjacent property currently owned by Strata Tustin LLC through a deed restriction for reciprocal access, parking and trash facilities and requested deferral of the design review authority with regards to the Newport Avenue and Mitchell Avenue setback requirements to the Planning Commission. D. That the project is statuary exempt pursuant to Section 15270 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act). E. On August 14, 2006, the Planning Commission considered the applicant requests to construct a retail building at approximately four (4) feet from the existing Newport Avenue right-of-way and installing the first parking space at nine (9) feet from Mitchell Avenue right-of-way and denies his request based on the following findings: 1) The project is not consistent with the Tustin General Plan for the following reasons: Resolution No. 4033 Page 2 a) At the project location Newport Avenue is classified as a 6-lane Major Arterial within a "modified" Right-of-Way on the Tustin Circulation Element. The "modified" qualifier is used in cases when projected traffic volumes dictate the classification, but physical constraints, such as structures or topography, restrict Right-of-Way (ROW). The road is presently constructed to a Primary Arterial standard within a 100 foot ROW (50 foot half section). b) The proposed configuration of the building will encroach approximately six (6) feet into the ultimate Newport Avenue right-of-way. The right-of-way dedication was not required on the initial phases of the commercial development south of the freeway when the entitlement was approved over 20 years ago. At that time Newport Avenue was classified as a Primary Arterial on the City's Circulation Element and the County MPAH; therefore, no additional dedication was required. c) Since there are no existing physical constraints and the site will be cleared in preparation for construction of a new building. This will allow the dedication of Right-of-Way to meet the 6-lane Major Arterial classification, which is a 60 foot half section. Although physical widening of Newport Avenue will not be required at this time, dedication of an additional 10 feet of ROW at this time will eliminate the need for acquisition at this location when Newport Avenue is widened in the future. d) On the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) Newport Avenue at this location is classified as a Major Arterial, which is a 6-lane divided road within a 120 foot ROW. As required by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), the City of Tustin Circulation Element is in conformance with the MPAH. e) One of the fundamental findings associated with approving projects is consistency among the general plan, zoning and land use approvals. There are direct relationships between land use approvals, site development, circulation and traffic impacts. For the City to be eligible for combined transportation funding (I.e., Measure M funding), the City's Circulation Element must be consistent with the MPAH and hence consistency means that the Circulation Element must provide for the planned carrying capacity of the MPAH. In this case Newport Avenue is a Major Arterial which is a six-lane divided highway that will ultimately carry 50,000 average daily trips at Level of Service D. Each year the City Council adopts a resolution attesting no unilateral action has been taken that would reduce planned carrying capacity of the MPAH. Projects that are not found consistent Resolution No. 4033 Page 3 with the General Plan should not be approved or conversely the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), the MPAH, and the General Plan should be amended which are greater considerations. These considerations include roadway capacity transferred to other arterial highways within the Master Plan and involvement of other cities and agencies to review and provide input on impact analyses on all other impacted arterials. The City receives approximately $1 million per year in local turn back funds. Lack of consistency will cause the City to become ineligible for these funds. Further, the City may not be eligible to compete for other competitive transportation funds that are applied for an annual basis. 2) The project is not consistent with the Tustin City Code Section 9232 and City's Parking Design Standards for the following reasons: a) Eleven (11) on-site parking spaces are required. The applicant is desirous of using two (2) of the excess parking spaces in the adjacent property currently owned by Strata Tustin LLC through a deed restriction for reciprocal access. Joint-use parking requires approval by the Zoning Administrator which can be considered when the site plan design is finalized. b) With the proposed site plan, the first parking stall along Mitchell Avenue is located nine (9) feet from the property line. The City's Parking Design Standards require a minimum twenty (20) foot setback for the first parking stall to provide for safe ingress and egress into this parking space and to maintain adequate on-site circulation. This requirement has been adhered to for new development and reducing this standard to nine (9) feet along Mitchell Avenue would set an undesirable precedent for future projects and jeopardize on-site circulation and safety.

BINSACK, the undersigned, hereby certify that I am the Planning Commission Secretary of the City of Tustin, California; that Resolution No. 4033 was duly passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission, held on the 2811i day of August, 2006. ELIZABETH A. BINSACK Planning Commission Secretary RESOLUTION NO. 4034 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DIRECTING THE APPLICANT TO WORK WITH STAFF TO REDESIGN THE SITE MEETING THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE PROPOSED RETAIL BUILDING LOCATED AT 14111 NEWPORT AVENUE (NORTHWEST CORNER OF MITCHELL AVENUE AND NEWPORT AVENUE). I. The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin hereby finds and determines as follows: A. A design review application was filed by Strata Tustin LLC on January 17, 2006, to construct an approximately 2,800 square foot retail building located at 14111 Newport Avenue at approximately four (4) feet from the existing Newport Avenue right-of-way. B. The property is located at the northwest corner of Mitchell Avenue and Newport Avenue within a Planned Community Commercial (PC-C) zoning district and the Community Commercial General Plan land use designation where retail development is outright permitted. C. The twenty (20) foot setback for the first parking stall standard as required by the City's Parking Design Guidelines would provide adequate on-site and off-site circulation and should be adhered to for construction of new projects. Reducing this standard to nine (9) feet along Mitchell Avenue would set an undesirable precedent for future projects. D. The proposed location for the retail building does not provide for future street-widening on Newport Avenue which is designated as a Modified Major arterial in the Tustin General Plan. E. On August 14, 2006, the Planning Commission considered the applicant requests to construct a retail building at approximately four (4) feet from the existing Newport Avenue right-of-way and installing a parking space at nine (9) feet from Mitchell Avenue right-of-way and directed the applicant to work with staff to redesign the site to meet the required development standards.
