BACKGROUND
The site is improved with an existing single family home that was constructed in the
1930s. The home is a single-storied stucco-clad with Spanish Colonial Revival
architecture style and is listed on the City's Historical Resources Survey as an "A" rated
structure having a unique design with attention to detail and quality construction. The
site is surrounded by commercial offices to the east, medical center to the south, and
office complex to the west and north.
The site is zoned Specific Plan No. 9 which limits the conversion of existing structures
and/or the construction of new structures to professional office uses. The site is also
designated by the General Plan as Commercial Professional Office which provides for
areas of development of primarily professional offices and other supporting uses.
On January 26, 2004, the City discovered that the property was converted into a
professional consultant office without appropriate permits. Consequently, the City's
Code Enforcement Division issued a Notice of Violation and advised the property owner
to either convert the office back to a residence or obtain appropriate permits for the
conversion. The applicant elected to proceed with requesting approval of the conversion
into an office use.
The Design Review application is for the overall site planning and the Minor Adjustment
application is for the reduction of the required number of off-street parking spaces from
nine (9) spaces to eight (8) spaces. Section 9272(b) and (c) of the Tustin City Code
authorizes the Community Development Director to review and approve a Design
Review application. Section 9299.b of the Tustin City Code authorizes the Zoning
Administrator to approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application for a Minor
Adjustment. The Design Review application has been deferred to the Zoning
Administrator for concurrent consideration.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The project includes the conversion of the existing 1,820 square foot single family home
and its 528 square foot detached garage into a professional consultant office. As part of
the conversion request into an office, the applicant is required to provide site
improvements to support office use including customer parking area consistent with the
requirements of Specific Plan NO.9. In designing the new parking area, every effort
was made to preserve the existing mature trees while providing a safe backup area for
cars entering and exiting the site. The parking area will be created by replacing a
portion of the existing landscape area at the northern part of the site with a parking lot.
Access to the site will be provided from the existing driveway which would be required
to be widened to comply with the City's standards related to a commercial driveway.
New light posts will be installed in the parking area to comply with the minimum of one
(

(1) foot candle light as required by the City's security ordinance. In addition, consistent
with the architecture of the home, new and reinforced decorative pavers will be installed
to match the existing driveway. Other than adding two (2) windows to the side of the
existing garage, no changes to the exterior elevations of the home or the garage are being
proposed. Regarding the interior spaces, all bedrooms are to be converted into offices
and the kitchen and living room are to be converted into an employees' lunch and break
room. With the exception of parking, the project complies with all the development
standards of Specific Plan NO.9 including setbacks, building height, and lot coverage.
Minor Adjustment for Parking
Based upon gross floor area, a total of nine (9) parking spaces would be required at a ratio
of one (1) parking space for every 250 square feet of floor area to support the conversion
of the home into an office. However, without major alteration to the site (requiring a
second ingress and egress to accommodate more parking spaces), only eight (8) parking
spaces could be provided. Section 9299.b(1)(f) of the Tustin City Code authorizes the
Zoning Administrator to consider a minor adjustment for the reduction of the number of
required spaces for non-residential land uses by not more than ten (10) percent; the
proposed request meets this threshold.
Findings to approve this request are contained in Zoning Administrator Action 04-011.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION 04-011
DESIGN REVIEW 04-014 AND MINOR ADJUSTMENT 04-001
14891 YORBA STREET
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 Design Review 04-014 and Minor Adjustment
04-001 was filed by Joyce Altman, property owner, requesting
authorization to convert an existing 1,820 square foot single family
residence and a 528 square foot detached garage at 14891 Yorba Street
into a professional consultant office and reduce the number of required
off-street parking spaces from nine (9) spaces to eight (8) spaces to
accommodate the conversion.
B. That the site is developed with a single family residential structure and is
regulated by Specific Plan NO.9. The proposed conversion into a
consultant office is substantially consistent with the requirements and
development standards of Specific Plan No. 9 and General Plan
"Commercial Professional Office" land use designation which allows for
development of professional offices. In addition, the project has been
reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub-element of the City of
Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with the Air
Quality Sub-element.
C. That Sections 9272(b) and (c) of the Tustin City Code authorize the
Community Development Director to review and approve a Design Review
application. Section 9299.b of the Tustin City Code authorizes the Zoning
Administrator to approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application for
a Minor Adjustment. The Design Review application has been deferred to
the Zoning Administrator for concurrent consideration.
D. That pursuant to Section 9272(c) of the Tustin City Code, the Zoning
Administrator finds that the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of the proposal will not impair the orderly and
harmonious development of the area, the present or future development
therein, or the occupancy as a whole. In making such findings, the Zoning
Administrator has considered at least the following items:
1. Height, bulk, and area of buildings;
2. Setbacks and site planning;
3. Landscaping and parking area design and traffic circulation;
Zoning Administrator Action 04-011
Page 2
4. Size and spacing of windows, doors, and other openings;
5. Exterior materials and colors;
6. Location, height, and standards of exterior illumination;
7. Location and appearance of equipment located outside of an
enclosed structure;
8. Location and method of refuse storage;
9. Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in
the neighborhood;
10. Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures and possible future structures in the
neighborhood and public thoroughfares;
11. Development guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City
Council; and
In summary, the alteration includes the installation of two (2) new windows
to the side of the garage consistent with the style of existing windows at
the home elevations. No other changes to the exterior elevations of the
home or garage are proposed, and the project maintains the distinctive
architecture of the buildings and the site as noted in the City's Historical
Resources Survey Report. In addition, although the site improvements
will be constructed to accommodate ingress, egress, and a parking area to
accommodate the conversion, the majority of the existing landscaping and
the overall context of a residential setting would be preserved.
E. In accordance with Section 9299c(3)(a) of the Tustin City Code, the
Zoning Administrator finds and determines the following:
1. That special circumstances apply to the property in that the existing
home and garage are situated on the property such that the
creation of additional parking spaces and new driveway to comply
with 'the requirements of Specific Plan No. 9 would require
demolition of existing structures. The strict application of the Code
is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by
other property in the vicinity under identical zoning classification.
2. That while the site only provides eight (8) of the nine (9) parking
spaces required under Specific Plan No.9, the intent of the parking
regulations is preserved in that sufficient employee and customer
parking spaces will be provided for the proposed office use. As
conditioned, if at any time in the future the City is advised that
parking and/or traffic problems exist on the site or in the vicinity as a
result of the professional consultant office use, the Director of
Community Development may require the property owner and/or
Zoning Administrator Action 04-011
Page 3
applicant to prepare a parking demand analysis and/or a traffic study.
If said study indicates that there is inadequate parking or a traffic
problem, the property owner and applicant shall be required to
provide mitigation measures to be reviewed and approved by the
Community Development Department.
3. That the adjusted decrease in the number of parking spaces will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare or
materially injurious to the properties located in the general vicinity in
that the reduction of one (1) parking space is considered a minor
adjustment and that the City's Public Works Department has
reviewed the parking area and circulation of the site and has
determined that no impact to the public safety and welfare is
anticipated.
F. As conditioned, dedication of an appropriate corner cut-off at the drive
aprons and sidewalk would be required to facilitate safe pedestrian
movements in compliance with the Federal American with Disabilities Act
(ADA) reqtlirements.
G. As conditioned, the applicant would be required to satisfy dedication
and/or reservation requirements as applicable, including but not limited to,
dedication of all required street and flood control right-of-way easements,
vehicular access rights, sewer easements and water easements defined
and approved as to specific locations by the City Engineer and other
agencies to accommodate the conversion of the property from residential
to commercial.
H. That this project involves minor alteration of an existing property and 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).
II. The Zoning Administrator hereby approves Design Review 04-014 and Minor
Adjustment 04-001 authorizing the conversion of an existing 1,820 square foot
single family residence and a 528 square foot detached garage into a
professional consultant office and the reduction of the number of required off-
street parking spaces from nine (9) spaces to eight (8) spaces to accommodate
the conversion for the property located at 14891 Yorba Street, Tustin, subject to
the conditions contained within Exhibit A attached hereto.
