The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows:
A. A proper application, Conditional Use Permit 03-005, was filed by Starbucks
Coffee, requesting authorization to provide 15 seats, five (5) tables, and three
(3) umbrellas outside in front of a 1,300 square foot restaurant (coffee house)
under construction at 1621 Edinger Avenue, Suite S, within the Planned
Community Industrial (M) zoning district and Industrial General Plan land use
designation.
B. The proposed use is consistent with the requirements of the Industrial (M)
zoning district in that a conditional use permit is required for restaurant uses
and for outdoor dining. Conditional Use Permit (CUP 02-026) approved the
restaurant (coffee shop) use and the subject application is appropriate for the
outdoor seating component of the business.
C. The proposed use is consistent with the policies of the Industrial General Plan
land use designation which, as indicated in Land Use Element Table LU-2,
provides for the establishment of light industrial and commercial uses. The
project has been determined to be consistent with the Air Quality sub-element of
the City of Tustin General Plan in that the project has no "Daily Thresholds of
Potential Significance for Air Quality" as indicated in Table 6-2 of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District's CEQA Air Quality Handbook.
D. The proposed use is compliant with the conditions of approval contained in
Conditional Use Permit (CUP 02-026) which approved uses for the center
(including coffee shops), center architecture, and center parking.
E. The outdoor seating area is consistent with Planning Commission Resolution
No. 2490 that established policies and requirements for outdoor seating areas
including the requirement for a conditional use permit in that:
1. Alcoholic beverages will not be sold at the business;
2. Parking spaces required for the coffee shop corresponds directly to the
number of seats provided;
3. As conditioned, a waste receptacle shall be placed near the seating
area and the area is required to be cleaned on a continual basis;
4. All outdoor furniture is placed out of the way of the required path of

7. The use is distanced away from any sensitive uses as defined in
Resolution 2490; and,
8. Conditions of approval have been placed on the property to ensure the
outdoor dining is compatible with the center.
F. 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 use is consistent with the zoning and development
standards for the property and will operate in accordance with policies
and requirements of the Guidelines for Outdoor Seating as
established by Planning Commission Resolution No. 2490.
2. As approved, Starbucks Coffee will have a maximum of 15 outdoor
seats, five (5) tables, three (3) umbrellas, fourteen (14) indoor seats,
and six (6) indoor tables. With 124 on-site parking spaces, Starbucks
Coffee is authorized to provide a total of 29 seats which requires 9.66
on-site parking spaces. The proposed outdoor seating can be
accommodated by the number of parking spaces provided in the
center.
3. Consistent with the City of Tustin's Guidelines for Outdoor Seating,
the outdoor seating area is not in close proximity to any residential,
school, or religious worship use in that it is located in a large commercial
center with a self storage facility to the east, an on-site retail building and
Edinger Avenue to the south, Red Hill Avenue to the west, and railroad
tracks to the north.
4. The proposed use will not have an effect upon the aesthetics of the
area in that the proposed chairs, tables, and umbrellas are
constructed of weather resistant materials and exhibit colors and
design characteristics that complement the building.
5. Operational hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for the coffee house, and
associated outdoor seating, are appropriate in that the hours coincide
with those of a typical retail center coffee shop use.
6. As conditioned, no live entertainment or amplified noise is permitted.
G. The application was reviewed by the Zoning Administrator on May 23, 2005.
