SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND (SLESF) In 1996, AB 3229 established the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant program. Proceeds from the program can only be used for front line law enforcement services that may include the purchase of new equipment, hiring of additional personnel and increasing the opportunity for training of safety personnel. This year, we have been notified that the Police Department is to receive no less than $102,000 and no more than $110,000 in SLESF funding. This year, the allocation for SLESF/COPS grant funds for all law enforcement agencies is being coordinated through the Orange County Sheriff's Department and all agencies have been directed to move forward with expenditure authorization while City Council Meeting Action Agenda September 5, 2006 Page 7 of 19 waiting for the final grant amounts to be determined. We are proposing that this year's entire allocation be used to create a new position of Crime Analyst and equip this position with related hardware and software. This bill requires both a public hearing and a special fund established for these monies. Staff report presentation by Police Chief Scott Jordan The public hearing opened at 7:21 p.m. There were no public speakers and the hearing closed at 7:22 p.m. Motion: It was moved by Councilmember Amante, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Hagen, to authorize usage of the funds as recommended by the Police Department. Motion carried 5-0. 2. URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (UASI) GRANT The City of Tustin, acting through the City of Santa Ana Police Department in its capacity as the Core City for the Santa Ana Urban Area under the FY-05 Urban Areas Security Initiative, has applied for, received and accepted a federal homeland security grant. The grant is entitled the "FY05 Urban Areas Security Initiative." The grant is from the Federal Department of Homeland Security, Office of Domestic Preparedness, through the State of California Office of Homeland Security, and is intended to enhance countywide emergency preparedness. The terms of the grant require that the City of Tustin use certain grant funds for the hardening of specific identifiable targets within the City of Tustin. The Tustin Police Department has identified the City Hall/Police Department parking structure as an area of security concern and recommends the installation of both vehicle and pedestrian access-controlled gates to control the public access to areas housing critical equipment and resources, as well as provide a safe and controlled employee parking area. Staff report presentation by Police Chief Scott Jordan The public hearing opened at 7:24 p.m. There were no public speakers and the hearing closed at 7:25 p.m. Motion: It was moved by Councilmember Bone, seconded by Council member Amanteto authorize usage of the funds as recommended by the Police Department. Motion carried 5-0. 3. CODE AMENDMENT 06-004: OFFICE USE PROVISION Code Amendment 06-004 would restrict and regulate the installation and establishment of office uses only to those parcels fronting onto Main Street and EI Camino Real and provide criteria for approving office uses when fronting onto City Council Meeting Action Agenda September 5, 2006 Page 8 of 19 Main Street and EI Camino Real. On August 14, 2006, the Planning Commission considered Code Amendment 06-004 and adopted Resolution No. 4032 recommending that the City Council approve Ccide Amendment 06-004. Applicant: City of Tustin Community Development Department Staff report presented by Community Development Director Elizabeth Binsack: Background . Office Use provision was adopted in 1983. The intent and purpose of the office use provision was to encourage retail establishment on ground floor particularly in Old Town. . Code Amendment 02-002 adopted in May 2002 clarified the process and criteria for considering office uses within C-2 zone. . On June 14, 2004, and June 26, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted workshops, discussed issues related to implementation of the Office Use provision, and provided staff with directions on possible amendments to the office use provisions. Current Code Requirements . An office use is permitted to locate within the C-2 zoning district if: . the use is located on any floor above the ground floor; and, . occupies less than fifty (50) percent of the total floor area. . An office use may also be permitted anywhere in a building where a Conditional Use Permit was granted. . An office use can be conditionallv permitted if : . it is located on the ground floor or in more than fifty (50) percent of the total floor area of a building; and, . the Planning Commission determines that the office use would be more beneficial than a retail establishment. . These provisions apply to construction of new office buildings and new office occupancies in existing buildings. Issues with Current Ordinance . Location of Office Uses . While most of the C-2 zoning districts are concentrated in the Old Town Tustin area, there are a number of properties zoned C-2 located outside of Old Town Tustin. . These areas are freestanding developments that are not particularly conducive to pedestrian activity. . The majority of inquiries to establish offices on ground floors have been in areas outside of Old Town Tustin. . There are a number of properties located in Old Town but do not contribute to pedestrian activities. These properties do not front onto Main Street or EI Camino Real. Configuration of Existing Office Buildings . Some buildings built as office buildings are not configured to accommodate retailing activity (without traditional retail storefronts). City Council Meeting Action Agenda September 5, 2006 Page 9 of 19 . While some of these buildings may be easily converted to retail space, some would require more significant modifications. Quasi-Office and Incompatible Uses . Quasi-office uses are classified as either "retail businesses" or "service businesses" and are outright permitted. . Types of retail businesses that are outright permitted include a variety of retail shops as well as real estate offices. . Examples of service businesses that are permitted include barber shops, beauty parlors, interior decorators, restaurants, photograph galleries, travel agencies, telephone answering services, etc. . There has been some confusion about why certain uses that appear to be office uses are permitted. In addition, upon studying the office use provision, the Planning Commission identified uses contained in the C-1 and C-2 District regulations that are not compatible with the intended retail environment Proposed Amendment Permitted Office Uses . Professional and general offices that are not fronting onto Main Street or EI Camino Real or located outside the Old Town Commercial General Plan land use designation would be outright permitted. . Conditionallv Permitted Office Uses . Professional and general offices that are fronting onto Main Street or EI Camino Real would be conditionally permitted provided that: . Professional and general offices proposed at the ground floor level or that are greater than fifty (50) percent of the total building floor area shall not be approved unless the approving authority finds, based on supporting documentation and evidence that an office use would be more compatible with the existing and planned uses in the vicinity than a retail commercial use on the subject property and that an office use would be more beneficial in implementing applicable land use policies such as the Tustin General Plan, Tustin City Code, and any Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency Project Area Redevelopment Plan than a retail commercial use on the subject property. Approval of professional and general office uses shall meet one or more of the following criterion: . The proposed use is to be located in an existing building originally designed, built, and occupied as offices or converted to office use pursuant to an approved building permit. . The proposed use is to be located in an existing building that because of its design and orientation is impractical to modify or alter to accommodate retail establishments. . The proposed use is to be located in an existing building requiring significant reconstruction that is not economically feasible or practical to accommodate retail establishments. . The proposed use is to be located in a multi-tenant retail center and is ancillary but complimentary to the remaining mixed uses with respect to type of use, hours of operation, convenience, and parking demand. City Council Meeting Action Agenda September 5, 2006 Page 10 of 19 . The proposed use is determined to be beneficial, complementary, and compatible with surrounding neighborhood and nearby retail establishments. Proposed Amendment The following uses are proposed to be removed from the district regulations: . Business School . Interior Decorator . Job Printing . Telephone Answering Service . Typing and Addressing Service Proposed Amendment Approvinq Authoritv . Section 9299.b(3)(k) of the Tustin City Code would be added to authorize the Zoning Administrator to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a Conditional Use Permit application for professional and general office uses fronting onto Main Street and EI Camino Real. . In addition, Section 9232a and Section 9233a of the Tustin City Code would be amended to authorize the Community Development Director and/or the Planning Commission to determine if certain unlisted uses are considered to be similar to those listed uses and would be allowed in the commercial districts. Recommendation . Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing; introduce and have the first reading of Ordinance No. 1317 approving Code Amendment 06- 004; and, set for second reading at the Council's next scheduled meeting. The public hearing opened at 7:31 p.m. There were no public speakers and the hearing closed at 7:32 p.m. Motion: It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Hagen, seconded by Councilmember Kawasima, to introduce and have first reading by title only of the following ordinance: ORDINANCE NO. 1317 - An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Tustin, California, approving Code Amendment 06-004 amending the Tustin City Code relating to Office Use Provisions within Commercial Districts Motion carried 5-0. 4. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF MINOR ADJUSTMENT 06- 001 (2650 DAVIS DRIVE, PRESIDIO TRACT) On July 10, 2006, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4029, denying Minor Adjustment 06-001 to authorize the height extension up to twenty percent (20%) above the maximum permitted height of the perimeter fence around the Presidio Tract pool located at 2650 Davis Drive. The Planning Commission found that the applicant did not provide the necessary findings to approve a minor adjustment. On July 17, 2006, the applicant appealed the Planning Commission's City Council Meeting Action Agenda September 5, 2006 Page 11 of 19 decision. Applicant/Appellant: John Tkach, President Presidio HOA Staff report presentation by Community Development Director Elizabeth Binsack: Background . The Presidio Tract Home Owner's Association (HOA) operates and maintains the common area pool within the community. . In response to repeated trespassing and vandalism complaints, the HOA has increased the height of the existing perimeter pool fence above the maximum allowable height limitations in the zoning district without the benefit of permits. . The HOA is now requesting to permit the fence extension with a minor adjustment which would allow for a fence height extension of not more than 20%. Minor Adjustment . California Government Code Section 65906 and the Tustin City Code require the City to make two positive findings to approve a minor adjustment. . There would need to be a special circumstance unique to the land based on hardship where the strict literal interpretation of the zoning code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the area. . It must also be determined that any granting of a minor adjustment would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations placed on other properties in the area. Findings . The applicant has identified trespassing as the major justification for the fence height extension, however the Tustin Police Department has no records of police reports filed at the subject address. . Various residents of the Presidio Community are in opposition of the fence height extension and have submitted complaints to the City's Code Enforcement Division. . The proposed minor adjustment does not identify any special circumstance unique to the site based on hardship. The varying topography of the site is not a special circumstance since the height of the fence is measured from grade level and would allow for the same height limitations as flatland. . The project site is not deprived of any of the privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and a granting of the minor adjustment would constitute a special privilege. Surrounding properties experience the same limitations and will have to comply with the zoning code. Planning Commission Meeting · On July 10, 2006, the City of Tustin Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4029 denying Minor Adjustment 06-001. The Planning Commission came to this conclusion upon consideration of the staff report and after reviewing public testimony from the applicant and other members of the audience. City Council Meeting Action Agenda September 5, 2006 Page 12 of 19 Then on July 17, 2006 the Planning Commission's decision was appealed by the applicant. Recommendation · Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 06-109 upholding the Planning Commission's action denying Minor Adjustment 06-001 to extend the height of an existing perimeter pool fence located in the Presidio Tract at 2650 Davis Drive by up to 20% above the maximum allowable height. The public hearing opened at 7:36 p.m. The following people spoke in support of Minor Adjustment: John Tkach, Dr. Lydia Randall, Frank Lindquist, and Bob Stock. Council discussion ensued. The hearing closed at 7:50 p.m. Motion: It was moved by Councilmember Bone, seconded by Councilmember Amante, to adopt resolution. Motion carried 5-0.
