the second floor, and 11 dock doors.
3. Provision of 144 on-site parking stalls; and
4. Provision of landscaping totaling 34,790 square feet.
B. That the Development Application requests Design Review (DR) 2023-
0009 approval for site layout and building design on a 6.17-acre parcel
located at 15621,15641 and 15661 Red Hill Avenue.
C. That the subject property is located within the Planned Community
Industrial/Business (PC IND/BUS) zoning district and regulated by
Ordinance No. 816 (International Rectifier Planned Community District
Regulations) and has a Planned Community Commercial Business
(PCCB) General Plan land use designation.
D. The project is consistent with Tustin General Plan Land Use Element
goals and policies related to commercial development including:
Resolution No, 4490
Page 2
Goal 1 : Provide for a well-balanced land use pattern that
accommodates existing and future needs for housing,
commercial and industrial land, open space and community
facilities and services, while maintaining a healthy, diversified
economy adequate to provide future City services.
Policy 1.6: Ensure an adequate supply of commercial and
industrial land within the City of Tustin for potential commercial
and industrial expansion and development.
Goal 5: Revitalize older commercial, industrial and residential
uses and properties.
Goal 6: Improve urban design in Tustin to ensure development
that is both architecturally and functionally compatible, and to
create uniquely identifiable neighborhoods, commercial and
business park districts.
Policy 6.2: Encourage and promote high quality design and
physical appearance in all development projects.
E. That the International Rectifier Planned Community District regulations
and the Planned Community Commercial/Business (PCCB) General
Plan land use designation provide for a variety of commercial and
industrial uses.
F. That pursuant to TCC Section 9272(b), DR is required to ensure that
new uses and structures enhance their sites and are harmonious with
the highest standards of improvements in the surrounding area which
includes a review of the site plan and building design.
G. That pursuant to TCC Section 9272(c), the Community Development
Department finds that the location, size, architectural features, and
general appearance of the proposed project 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 Community Development Department has considered at
least the following items:
1 . Height bulk and area of buildings. Buildings 1 and 2 would have a
maximum height of forty-nine feet and 6 inches (49'-6") , the bulk of
the proposed buildings is consistent with industrial developments in
the industrial district and is compatible with the surrounding uses. The
proposed site plan sets Building 1 dock doors to be oriented to the
northwest side of the building away from Bell Avenue and Building 2
Resolution No. 4490
Page 3
dock doors to be oriented to the northwest side of the building away
from Bell Avenue and Red Hill Avenue. Both street frontages would
include landscaping and parking areas as additional buffers to public
right-of-way and adjacent parcels.
2. Setbacks and site planning. The project site is surrounded by
commercial and industrial/office buildings to the north, northeast, and
west, and vacant land to the south and southeast. The buildings are
proposed to be developed on a single, L-shaped, parcel, measuring
approximately 6.17 acres in size, that is located immediately north of
the Red Hill Avenue and Bell Avenue intersection. The project site
would provide two full-access driveways on Bell Avenue (one each for
Building 1 and Building 2) and a single right-in/right-out driveway on
Red Hill Avenue. Both full access driveways along Bell Avenue would
be 35 feet in width, while the driveway along Red Hill Avenue would
measure 28 feet in width. Passenger vehicles would have the option
to access the project site via any of the three driveways, while trucks
would be restricted to accessing the project site from one of the two
35-foot-wide, full-access driveways on Bell Avenue.
3. Exterior materials and colors. The proposed building facades would
consist of painted concrete tilt-up panels with accent panels giving
metal appearance on street-facing elevations and a considerable
amount of glazing at building entrances. Walls will be painted off-
white and medium to dark gray and enhanced with form liners and
aluminum panels in dark gray. The proposed materials and colors are
consistent with existing industrial use in the vicinity of the project.
4. Type and pitch of roofs. The proposed building has a flat roof design
and incorporates a roof parapet, similar to existing industrial uses in
the vicinity of the project. As conditioned, the rooftop mechanical
equipment will be screened by a parapet wall as indicated in Condition
of Approval No. 2.8.
5. Size and spacing of windows, doors and other openings. The building
incorporates prominent amounts of glazing, accented with metallic
design elements on street-facing elevations and at building entrances.
6. Landscaping and parking area design. New landscaping is proposed
at the project frontages along Bell Avenue and Red Hill Avenue,
surrounding the building, and along the perimeter of the site, and
Resolution No. 4490
Page 4
parking area, Proposed landscaping would cover approximately
34,790 square feet of the project site, which equates to approximately
12.9 percent of the site area.The proposed landscaping palette would
feature trees, shrubs, and drought-tolerant accent plants in addition to
a variety of groundcovers, to enhance and, along the perimeter of its
interior property lines, screen the project site.
7. Location height and standards of exterior illumination. The project
includes the installation of new light fixtures throughout the site,
including a combination of building-mounted lighting and light poles
for site lighting. Illumination levels from the shielded light poles shall
fall to zero at the property line as required by TCC Section 8102 and
Ordinance 1529.
8. Location and appearance of equipment located outside of an
enclosed structure. New utility meters and electrical transformers will
be screened from public view by landscaping, as indicated in
Condition of Approval No. 2.11.
9. Location and method of refuse storage. A new trash enclosure will be
constructed and provided for each Building 1 and Building 2 at the
west elevation of each building. The trash enclosures shall comply
with Condition of Approval No. 8.2.
10.Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to existing
structures and possible future structures in the neighborhood and
public thoroughfares. The modern building design with accent
materials is compatible with other industrial uses in the area. The
building would meet the development standards as required in the
International Rectifier Planned Community District Regulations and
TCC.
11. Proposed signing. In conformance with the TCC, a Master Sign Plan
will be submitted to the Community Development Director for review
and approval as indicated in Condition of Approval No. 4.1.
12.The proposed project is consistent with the International Rectifier
District Regulations Part III: Industrial/Business, Section II for General
Development Standards, and the project is consistent with the Design
Review criteria outlined in TCC 9272.

H. That as proposed, the required number of parking spaces for the
operation of the industrial warehouse building is satisfied with the
provision of a total of 144 on-site parking spaces.
I. That 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.
J. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for DR 2023-
0009 on May 28, 2024, by the Planning Commission.
K. That the proposed project is considered a "project" subject to the terms
of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). A Draft Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared to identify and
mitigate any potential environmental impacts that would result from the
proposed project and the study found that, although there is evidence
that the proposed project may have an effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures
have been added to the project. Therefore, the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report is not required. The Draft Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was made available for public
review between April 12, 2024, to May 2, 2024.
L. That the Planning Commission considered the Initial Study and the
Mitigated Negative Declaration and finds it adequate for the proposed
project (Resolution No. 4489).

ENVIRONMENTAL! INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION ISIMND
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM (MMRP)
The project shall comply with the MMRP for the Platform Tustin project ISIMND dated
May 2024.
(2) 12.1 Mitigation Measure (MM) Biological Resources BRA: If tree
removal or construction commences between February 1 and
August 31 , within three days of tree removal or mobilizing
construction equipment to the Project Site, all on-site trees and
trees within 250 feet of the Project Site shall be inspected by a
qualified biologist for the presence of migratory nesting birds. If the
survey reveals no active nesting, construction may proceed. If the
survey identifies the presence of active sensitive migratory bird
nests, then the nests shall not be disturbed unless the qualified
biologist verifies through non-invasive methods that either (1) the
adult birds have not begun egg-laying and incubation; or (ii) the
juveniles from the occupied nests are capable of independent
survival. If the biologist is not able to verify these conditions, then
no tree removals or construction that would be disruptive to the
nest, as determined by the biologist, shall occur until the biologist,
with City concurrence, verifies that the nest(s) is no longer occupied
and/or juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests.
MM Cultural Resources CRA. Prior to the issuance of a
demolition permit or any permit authorizing ground-disturbing
construction activities, evidence shall be provided to the City of
Tustin that the construction contractors have been trained on how
to identify potential cultural, tribal cultural, and archaeological
resources. Construction personnel in charge of supervising
ground-disturbing activities must have received cultural resource
awareness training within 60 days of commencing work on the
Project Site.
MM CR-2. Upon discovery of any suspected cultural, tribal cultural,
or archaeological resources, construction activities within 100 feet
of the find shall pause until the find can be assessed by a Qualified
Archaeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior
Standards for archaeology, and a tribal monitor/consultant
representing the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians Kizh Nation
(if such tribal monitor chooses to participate in monitoring following
adequate written notice to the Tribe). If a resource is discovered
that the Qualified Archaeologist determines to be significant
pursuant to the definition given in CEQA Guidelines Section
15064.5, mitigation shall occur following the guidance given in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(b), and as approved by the City
Exhibit A
Resolution No. 4490
DR 2023-0009
Page 14
of Tustin, to reduce impacts to less-than-significant. Mitigation
methods include but are not limited to data recovery,
documentation, preservation in place, and removal for laboratory
processing and analysis, followed by either curation at a non-profit
institution or conveyance to a culturally affiliated Native American
Tribe. Work may continue on other parts of the construction site
while the evaluation takes place.
MM CR-3. Archaeological and Native American monitoring and
excavation during construction shall be consistent with current
professional standards. All feasible care to avoid any unnecessary
disturbance, physical modification, or separation of human remains
and associated funerary objects shall betaken. Principal personnel
shall meet the Secretary of the Interior standards for archaeology
and have a minimum of 10 years' experience as a principal
investigator working with Native American archaeological sites in
southern California. The Qualified Archaeologist shall ensure that
all other personnel are appropriately trained and qualified.
MM GEO-1. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the Project
Applicant shall provide written evidence to the City of Tustin
Community Development Department that a geotechnical engineer
has been retained to monitor the grading operation and assure
implementation of the soil settlement and expansion treatment
recommendations contained in the site-specific Geotechnical
Investigation prepared by Southern California Geotechnical and
dated June 7, 2023. All recommendations shall be implemented to
the performance standards specified in the Geotechnical
Investigation and to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer.
Evidence of implementation shall be provided to the Community
Development Department prior to issuance of a building permit.
MM GEO-2. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the Project
Applicant shall provide evidence to the City of Tustin that a qualified
paleontologist ("paleontologist") has been retained by the Project
Applicant or contractor to be on-call should any suspected
paleontological resources be encountered during Project-related
construction activities.
MM GEO-3. If a suspected paleontological resource is discovered
during earth disturbance activities, the discovery shall be cordoned
off with a 100-foot radius buffer by the construction contractor so
as to protect the discovery from further potential damage, and the
paleontologist shall be consulted to assess the discovery.
MM GEO-4. If a discovery is determined to be significant by the
paleontologist, the following shall occur:
Exhibit A
Resolution No. 4490
DR 2023-0009
Page 15
A. Monitoring of excavation activities in areas identified as likely to
contain paleontological resources shall be performed by a
qualified paleontologist or paleontological monitor for the
remainder of ground-disturbing construction processes.
Monitoring shall be conducted full-time in areas of grading or
excavation in undisturbed older alluvium deposits.
B. Paleontological monitors shall be equipped to salvage fossils as
they are unearthed to avoid construction delays. The monitor
must be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to
allow removal of abundant or large specimens in a timely
manner. Monitoring may be reduced if the potentially
fossiliferous units are not present in the subsurface, or, if
present, are determined on exposure and examination by
qualified paleontological personnel to have low potential to
contain fossil resources. The monitor shall notify the Project
paleontologist, who will then notify the concerned parties of the
discovery.
C. Paleontological salvage during trenching and boring activities is
typically from the generated spoils and does not delay the
trenching or drilling activities. Fossils shall be collected and
identified by field number, collector, and date collected. Notes
shall be taken on the map location and stratigraphy of the site,
which shall be photographed before it is vacated and the fossils
are removed to a safe place. If the site involves remains from a
large terrestrial vertebrate, such as large bone(s) or a mammoth
tusk, that is/are too large to be easily removed by a single
monitor, a fossil recovery crew shall excavate around the find,
encase the find within a plaster and burlap jacket, and remove
it after the plaster is set. For large fossils, use of the contractor's
construction equipment may be solicited to help remove the
jacket to a safe location.
D. Particularly small invertebrate fossils typically represent multiple
specimens of a limited number of organisms, and a scientifically
suitable sample can be obtained from one to several five-gallon
buckets of fossiliferous sediment. If it is possible to dry screen
the sediment in the field, a concentrated sample may consist of
one or two buckets of material. For vertebrate fossils, the test is
usually the observed presence of small pieces of bones within
the sediments.
E. In accordance with the "Microfossil Salvage" section of the
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology guidelines (2010.7), bulk
sampling and screening of fine-grained sedimentary deposits
(including carbonate-rich paleosols) must be performed if the
deposits are identified to possess indications of producing fossil
ifmicrovertebrates," to test the feasibility of the deposit to yield
fossil bones and teeth.
Exhibit A
Resolution No. 4490
DR 2023-0009
Page 16
F. In the laboratory, individual fossils shall be cleaned of
extraneous matrix, and recovered specimens shall be prepared
to a point of identification and permanent preservation (not
display), including screen-washing sediments to recover small
invertebrates and vertebrates.
G. Identification and curation of specimens into a professional,
accredited public museum repository with a commitment to
archival conservation and permanent retrievable storage shall
be conducted. The paleontological program should include a
written repository agreement prior to the initiation of mitigation
activities. Prior to curation, the Lead Agency (e.g., the City of
Tustin) will be consulted on the repository/museum to receive
the fossil material.
H. A final report of findings and significance shall be prepared,
including lists of all fossils recovered and necessary maps and
graphics to accurately record their original location(s). The
report, when submitted to and accepted by the City of Tustin,
shall signify satisfactory completion of the Project program to
mitigate impacts to any potential nonrenewable paleontological
resources (i.e., fossils) that might have been lost or otherwise
adversely affected without such a program in place.
MM HAZA. Prior to the issuance of any new occupancy permit for
a use/user within the proposed Project's warehouse buildings, and
to the extent hazardous materials are anticipated to be utilized or
stored on-site and a Hazardous Materials Business Emergency
Plan (HMBEP) is required by law, the Project Applicant/Developer
or Project Site owner shall provide a copy of its approved
Emergency Response Plan to the President of the Irvine Valley
College's Advanced Technology and Education Park outlining how
the building user will prevent or respond to spills or leaks of
hazardous materials related to its facility/facilities and use of the
Project Site. If so requested, the Project Applicant/Developer or
Project Site owner shall also meet with the President of the Irvine
Valley College's Advanced Technology and Education Park and
Fire Department officials to discuss emergency response
procedures as contained in the HMBEP for spills or leaks at the
Project Site in relation to the nearby school facilities. This measure
shall be implemented under the supervision of the City of Tustin's
Planning Division. All meetings shall be documented, and
documentation shall be provided to the City Planning Department
within 30 days of each meeting. Failure to abide by these
procedures may be grounds for revocation of any conditional use
permits or other discretionary approvals for specific warehouse
uses on the Project Site.

descriptions of the relevant ground-disturbing activities, the type
of construction activities performed, locations of ground-
disturbing activities, soil types, cultural-related materials, and
any other facts, conditions, materials, or discoveries of
significance to the Tribe. Monitor logs will identify and describe
any discovered tribal cultural resources (TCRs), including but
not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts,
remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, or "TCRs"),
as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human
remains and burial goods. Copies of monitor logs will be
provided to the project applicant/lead agency upon written
request to the Tribe.
D. On-site tribal monitoring shall conclude upon the latter of the
following: (1) written confirmation to the Kizh from a designated
point of contact for the project applicant/lead agency that all
ground-disturbing activities and phases that may involve
ground-disturbing activities on the project site or in connection
with the project are complete; or (2) a determination and written
notification by the Kizh to the project applicant/lead agency that
no future, planned construction activity and/or
development/construction phase at the project site possesses
the potential to impact Kizh TCRs.

decomposition or skeletal completeness. Funerary objects,
called associated grave goods in Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98, are also to be treated according to this statute.
B. If Native American human remains and/or grave goods are
discovered or recognized on the project site, then Public
Resource Code 5097.9 as well as Health and Safety Code
Section 7050.5 shall be followed.
C. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike
per California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98(d)(1)
and (2).
D. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner
of treatment for discovered human remains and/or burial goods.
Any discovery of human remains/burial goods shall be kept
confidential to prevent further disturbance.
