The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: A.

C. That these barriers are also present in the Tustin City Code (TCC), affecting the feasibility of multi-family development citywide under current zoning regulations. D. That CA 2024-0006 proposes to implement citywide modifications based on the findings of the DCCSP and RHASP assessment, including scalable parking requirements for multi-family residential units based on bedroom count, allowance of tandem parking for residents, and the removal of mandatory private storage requirements. E. That the proposed amendments comply with the Tustin General Plan in that they comply with the following goal and policy: Land Use Element Goal 2: Ensure that future land use decisions are the result of sound and comprehensive planning. Policy 2.2: Maintain consistency between the Land Use Element, Zoning Ordinances, and other City ordinances, regulations and standards.
