SUBJECT: ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION (ZAA) NO. 24-006;
CUP 2024-0001 (15020 KENSINGTON PARK DRIVE, UNIT 120)
SUMMARY: The Zoning Administrator will consider Conditional Use Permit (CUP)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Project Summary
The applicant, Kurt Kaiwei Chen, is requesting authorization to sell beer and wine for on-
site consumption (Type 41 ABC License) in conjunction with a 3,119 square foot
restaurant space. The restaurant "Ootoro Bar, LLC" will be a casual dining, Japanese
sushi restaurant.
The floor plan includes an indoor dining area, kitchen, office and restrooms (Figure 1).
The restaurant is located at a commercial shopping center on Kensington Park Drive,
within the first multi-tenant building north of the main drive aisle. The applicant intends
to use the Type 41 ABC license to offer patrons a selection of beer and wine with the
meal service. Service of any beer and wine will be restricted to the indoor dining area
only.
The indoor dining area can accommodate approximately 85 seats encompassed with
two large square sushi tables in the dining area. There are also two separate semi-
private dining rooms for patrons. (Attachment A: Submitted Plans).

Alcoholic Beverage Sales
The sale and consumption of beer and wine (Type 41 ABC License), in conjunction with
a restaurant, can be authorized in conformance with the City's Alcoholic Beverage Sales
Establishment Guidelines adopted by the Planning Commission on March 13, 2018, and
Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9271(dd). Pursuant to TCC Section 9271(dd), on-site
alcoholic beverage sales, that includes on-site sale of alcohol at restaurants for on-site
consumption, are exempt from distance separation requirements to sensitive uses and
other alcoholic beverage sales establishments. In conformance with the Conditions of
Approval and applicable regulations from the State Alcoholic Beverage Control

Department (ABC), the applicant is required to provide full menu food service when
alcohol is available for sale and consumption.
Hours of Operation
The proposed hours of operation are between 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM, Monday through
Sunday as shown in Table 1. The proposed hours of operation are consistent with the
hours of other similar businesses in the vicinity.
Table 1
Operating Hours
Opening Hour Closing Hour
Restaurant (indoor) Monday through Sunday
11:00 AM 1 12:00 AM
Public Convenience and Necessity
The project site is located in Census Tract No. 0755.18, and the ABC has confirmed that
the Census Tract is over-concentrated with establishments that serve alcohol. There
are currently 27 on-site alcoholic beverage sales licenses in the Census Tract.
Conversely, compliance with the ABC regulations and the proposed Conditions of
Approval would allow the proposed use to add to the diversity of uses within the area.
Furthermore, the Tustin Police Department reviewed the proposal and does not have
any concerns regarding the proposed hours of operation or the indoor sale and
consumption of alcohol in conjunction with a restaurant use.
Parking
The sale of alcohol is proposed as an accessory use within an existing restaurant tenant
space. The tenant space is located within Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (TLSP) area in PA-
7. The proposed sale of alcohol for on-site consumption is an accessory use to the
restaurant tenant (Ootoro); therefore, no additional parking is required.

CONCLUSION:
Analysis of CUP 2024-0001 has determined that the establishment, maintenance, and
operation of the proposed on-site alcoholic beverage sales, in conjunction with a
restaurant, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general
welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use, nor
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. Furthermore, the
proposed on-site sales and consumption of beer and wine (Type 41 ABC license) in
conjunction with a restaurant, as conditioned, is consistent with the Planning
Commission Guidelines for Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishments and TCC Section
9271(dd). Findings to support the request have been included in ZAA No. 24-006.
Based on this report and the findings and Conditions of Approval contained in ZAA 24-
006, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator adopt ZAA 24-006 approving
CUP 2024-0001 to authorize the sale of beer and wine (Type 41) in conjunction with a
restaurant located at 15020 Kensington Park Drive, Unit 120.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION 24-006
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2024-0001
15020 KENSINGTON PARK ROAD, SUITE 120
The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2024-0001 was filed
by Kurt Kaiwei, applicant for Ootoro Bar, LLC., requesting authorization to allow
the on-site sale and consumption of beer and wine (Type 41 ABC License) in
conjunction with a restaurant establishment located at 15020 Kensington Park
Drive, Suite 102.
B. That the project site is within the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (TLSP) in Planning
Area 7 (PA-7) where on-site alcoholic beverage establishments are listed as
conditionally permitted uses pursuant to TLSP Section 3.10 and subject to TCC
Section 9271(dd) and the Planning Commission's Guidelines for Alcoholic
Beverage Sales Establishments. Furthermore, TCC Section 9299b(3)(g)
authorizes the Zoning Administrator to review and approve CUPs for alcoholic
beverage sales licenses for restaurants.
C. That the restaurant use is an established and permitted use operating pursuant to
the TLSP regulations for properties.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2024-0001 on
March 26, 2024, by the Zoning Administrator.
E. 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, nor 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 on-site alcoholic beverages, in conjunction with existing
restaurant use, is allowed within the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (TLSP) in
Planning Area 7 (PA-7) which allows for local-serving commercial retail,
service commercial and office uses adjacent to residential neighborhoods.
2) As conditioned, the proposed on-site consumption of alcohol shall comply
with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines as adopted by
the Planning Commission on March 13, 2018, and TCC Section 9271(dd).
3) As conditioned, the on-site sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages
would operate in conjunction with a restaurant where food will be served at all
times that alcoholic beverages are sold and served.
Zoning Administrator Action 24-006
CUP 2024-0001 (Type 41 ABC License)
March 26, 2024
Page 2
4) The restaurant use is located within a commercial shopping center where a
variety of retail and food establishment uses are located. As conditioned, the
characteristics of the restaurant use and hours of operation of the restaurant
would be similar to other food establishments in the vicinity.
5) The proposed addition of alcohol sales will not result in any additional parking
requirements for the existing business since it will be an accessory use and
no expansion is proposed to the existing tenant space.
6) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns.
F. That the operational characteristics and features of the facility, such as the hours
of operation, are appropriate for the location and type of use proposed in relation
to surrounding residential areas, sensitive uses such as places of worship, parks,
schools, hospitals, clinics, convalescent homes, and other similar uses selling or
serving alcoholic beverages, in that:
1) As conditioned, business operations, including hours of operation, would be
conducted in a manner which does not create a public or private nuisance.
2) As conditioned, the owner or manager of the licensed premises would
maintain a written security policy and procedures manual on the premises.
The security policy would identify individuals who are responsible for the
premises.
3) The on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages would be in conjunction
with a restaurant where food will be served at all times when alcoholic
beverages are served.
4) The proposed restaurant is located within a commercial shopping center
where a variety of retail and food uses are located. The applicant requests
to operate the restaurant Monday through Sunday from 11 :00 AM to 12:00
AM. These hours are consistent with the characteristics of restaurant uses
and the hours of operation of the restaurant would be similar to other
restaurants in the vicinity.
G. That although the proposed establishment is located within an over-concentrated
area of alcoholic beverage sales licenses, the sales of alcoholic beverages would
not have a negative impact on the community, in that:
1) The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages is in conjunction with the
establishment of a restaurant.
Zoning Administrator Action 24-006
CUP 2024-0001 (Type 41 ABC License)
March 26, 2024
Page 3
2) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns, as the property, where the project is located, does not
have a high crime rate. As conditioned, the owner or manager of the
licensed premises would maintain a written security policy and procedures
manual on the premises.
3) The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has
confirmed that Census Tract No. 0755.18, where the project is located, is
an over-concentrated area. There are currently 27 on-site alcoholic
beverage sales licenses in the Census Tract. While the business is located
within an over-concentrated area for on-site alcoholic beverage sales, the
proposed on-site alcoholic beverage sales within a restaurant
establishment will not contribute negatively to the undue concentration of
alcohol establishments in Census Tract No. 755.18 in that the business
would add to the diversity of uses within this area and shall be required to
comply with ABC's license restrictions and the proposed Conditions of
Approval.
H. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1) of the
California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality
Act).
11. The Zoning Administrator hereby approves CUP 2024-0001 authorizing the on-site sale
and consumption of beer and wine (Type 41 ABC License) in 15020 Kensington Park
Road, Suite 120, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A, attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin, at a
regular meeting on the 26t" day of March, 2024.
