RANCH ROAD AND INTERSTATE 5 FREEWAY
The applicant, EBS Realty Partners, LLC, on behalf of The Irvine Company, is
requesting a zone change to assign a Planned Community Industrial zoning
designation to an unclassified remnant parcel. This zone change is necessary to
facilitate a lot consolidation with the adjacent industrial property at 2441 Michelle
Drive. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 12, 2024, and
adopted Resolution No. 4509, recommending City Council adoption of Ordinance No.
1557 approving the zone change.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
Section 15061(b)(3) as there is no possibility that the proposed zone change would have
a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The action has no fiscal impact as it does not involve development at this point in time.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
This zone change aligns with Strategic Plan Goal A — Economic and Neighborhood
Development by supporting industrial land use and facilitating efficient land consolidation
for future development.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY:
Pursuant to TCC 9295 regarding municipal code amendments, the City Council shall hold
a public hearing upon receipt of the recommendation of the Planning Commission. After
the conclusion of such hearing, the City Council may, within one (1) year, adopt the
proposed amendment or any part thereof in such form as the Council deems desirable.
BACKGROUND:
The project site is a triangular -shaped remnant parcel (APN 432-391-59) located adjacent
to Tustin Ranch Road and the Interstate 5 Freeway. Tustin Ranch Road is to the
northwest, the Interstate 5 Freeway is to the northeast, and a developed office/industrial
warehouse property is to the south. The industrial property to the south (2441 Michelle
Drive) is zoned PC-IND and is within the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community
District. The parcel was initially intended to be dedicated to Caltrans for a freeway on -
ramp project, but this dedication never occurred, and the site remains under the
ownership of The Irvine Company.

Figure 1 — Vicinity Map and Surrounding Properties
Prior to City annexation, the project site and the surrounding areas were located in
unincorporated County area and zoned for agricultural uses. The following is a brief
history of the City's zoning of the subject parcel and surrounding area:
• In 1971, a large undeveloped property owned by the Irvine Ranch (The Irvine
Company) was pre -zoned for residential uses and concurrently annexed into the
City of Tustin. This area included the subject parcel and a large area that envelops
it.
• The land west of Tustin Ranch Road maintained a residential zoning designation
and was developed with residential uses in 1972 and 1973.
• In 1974, the City Council approved a rezoning of the undeveloped properties east
of Tustin Ranch Road to PC -Industrial, principally because this area was, at that
time, under the flight path of the Marine Corp Air Station (MCAS). However, the
Docusign Envelope ID: DOB94D56-5F89-4420-A351-755B72C60AE7
City Council Agenda Report
ZC-2024-0002, Remnant Parcel
January 21, 2025
Page 4
rezoning effort did not include the subject parcel because the property was
intended to be dedicated to Caltrans for a southbound on -ramp, which was
anticipated as part of a freeway widening (c. 1980-81). However, the Caltrans
project was designed so as not to require the subject parcel, as the on -ramp was
constructed to the north, looping under the Tustin Ranch Road bridge.
The site is currently unclassified on the City's Official Zoning Map but is designated as
Planned Community Commercial/Business (PCCB) in the General Plan. The PCCB
designation allows for a mixture of Community Commercial, Professional Office, and
Industrial uses. The proposed PC-IND zoning is consistent with this designation and
matches the adjacent industrial zoning. Separately, the property owner is in the process
of obtaining a Certificate of Compliance in regard to the parcel's conformance with the
Subdivision Map Act.
DISCUSSION:
The requested zoning designation would facilitate the sale and merger of the remnant
parcel with the adjacent industrial property at 2441 Michelle Drive. This consolidation
requires both properties to have the same zoning designation. While no development is
proposed at this time, any future development would require City review and compliance
with applicable regulations.
General Plan Consistency
Although the property does not have a zoning designation on the City's Official Zoning
Map, it is designated in the City's General Plan Land Use Element as Planned Community
Commercial/Business (PCCB). The PCCB land use designation provides opportunities
for a mixture of the uses permitted within the Community Commercial, Professional
Office, and Industrial designations. A General Plan amendment is not proposed or
required as part of this application, as the proposed PC-IND zoning is a zone that is
consistent with the site's PCCB designation.
Zone Change 2024-0002
The subject site currently does not have a zoning classification, is vacant and no
development is proposed with the request. The subject parcel is bounded by Tustin
Ranch Road and Interstate 5 Freeway to the northwest and northeast, and by an industrial
property developed with an office/warehouse building to the south. The industrial property
to the south (2441 Michelle Drive) is zoned PC-IND (Irvine Industrial Complex Planned
Community), and it is contiguous with the project site. The proposed zone change
application would incorporate the same zoning designation for the project site as is
currently applied to the adjacent properties to the south.

Existing Zoning — Unzoned Proposed Zoning — PC IND
Figure 2 — Existing and Proposed Zoning
The request was submitted on behalf of The Irvine Company (existing property owner) to
facilitate the sale of the subject site to the owner of the adjacent property to the south,
who intends to merge the two properties into one. Establishing a zoning designation is
necessary because a lot consolidation requires both properties to have the same zoning
designation. The applicant has expressed that there are no set development plans for the
property after the parcels are merged, and that any potential development cannot occur
until the lease of the existing tenant on the southern property expires in 2026. However,
should a project be proposed in the future, the development proposal would be subject to
City review and analysis.
Although no development is proposed as part of the subject project, the Irvine Industrial
Complex Planned Community District Regulations (Regulations) requires that the site
size for all industrial parcels be a minimum of 30,000 square feet. As proposed, the parcel
size is 93,218 square feet, which complies with the District regulations.
Planning Commission Action
On November 12, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider Zone
Change 2024-0002 and adopted Resolution No. 4509, recommending that the City
Council approve the zone change and adopt Ordinance No. 1557.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Mailers were sent to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property, and a public
notice was published in the Tustin News on January 9, 2025, informing the public of the
City Council meeting. In addition, the public notice was posted at Tustin City Hall, the
Tustin Library, and the Tustin Area Senior Center.

CONCLUSION:
As proposed, the project complies with the objectives of the requested zone change and
would establish a zoning designation that is consistent with the established General Plan
land use designation. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council conduct first
reading by title only of Ordinance No. 1557, approving ZC 2024-0002, and schedule
second reading for the next available City Council meeting.

read the staff report and recommendation, and he was in agreement with the
Conditions of Approval.
Kozak Kozak asked about the number of entrances into the proposed facility.
Minutes — Planning Commission Meeting — November 12, 2024 — Page 2
Docusign Envelope ID: DOB94D56-5F89-4420-A351-755B72C60AE7
Shiveley In response to Kozak's question, Mr. Shiveley stated the entrance to the proposed
facility would be from Red Hill Avenue and Edinger Avenue. Cars will drive up to
the queueing lane, which is to the north of the property, into the car wash. The
cars would then enter the tunnel from Edinger Avenue, parallel with Red Hill
Avenue.
Higuchi Higuchi asked the applicant where the primary point of ingress/egress would be.
Applicant Mr. Shiveley stated the ingress/egress would be 50/50 at both locations (Red Hill
Avenue and Edinger Avenue). He also explained, in great detail, the path of travel
from the exhibit shown in the PowerPoint.
Mello Mello asked why the applicant would not have access off of Red Hill Avenue and
primarily have access off of Edinger Avenue. He also voiced his concern with
traffic backing up from the rail road track and Edinger Avenue.
Shiveley Mr. Shiveley's response to Mello's previous question generally included: over
time the consumers will find the easiest patterns to enter the car wash; the tunnel
is capable of processing of approximately 40-50 cars an hour, which allows traffic
to flow quicker; there will not be a queing issue at this location; if ever there is a
queuing issue, there are systems in place to block off the entrance while
attempting to remedy the issue; and once issue is fixed, queuing will resume.
Douthit Douthit's questions included: the number of Quick Quack locations; membership;
and he referred to the vehicle path of travel with regard to the parcel line to the
rear of the proposed project area lot.
Shiveley Mr. Shiveley stated Quick Quack has approximately 250 locations in California
(currently five in Orange County) and each membership program can be used at
all locations.
Ron Guthrie In response to Douthit's question regarding the parcel line, Ron Guthrie, owner of
the property, spoke, in great detail, on the shared driveways between the existing
offices and the proposed project and he confirmed the project site is a land lease
and the parcel line is for tax purposes.
Higuchi Higuchi asked if a parcel map were to be recorded, would there be a requirement
or a condition to record a reciprocal easement agreement?
Barragan Barragan confirmed there would be a requirement or a condition to record a
reciprocal easement agreement.
Mello Mello inquired on the hours of operation being 7am-9pm. He asked if there were
any public comments received from the property owners across the street from
Minutes — Planning Commission Meeting — November 12, 2024 — Page 3
Docusign Envelope ID: DOB94D56-5F89-4420-A351-755B72C60AE7
Mello the project location. Mello also asked about the status of Citrus Cafe, the current
business at the project location site.
Shiveley In response to Mello's previous questions, Mr. Shiveley mentioned Quick Quack's
peak traffic hours would be before and after work and during the lunch hour.
Eastman Eastman stated notices were sent out prior to the meeting, as required by the
TCC, and the site was posted as well. He confirmed no public comments had
been received on this item.
Guthrie Per Mr. Guthrie, he has been searching fora potential tenant at the project location
for two years. Citrus Cafe will be closing due to declining customers and the
property owner has waived the monthly lease and only requires the restaurant to
pay for utilities. Citrus Cafe's move -out date is January 2025.
Higuchi Higuchi asked for the number of employees working for Quick Quack. He also
asked if Quick Quack's revenue is subject to the City of Tustin's sales tax.
Shiveley Per Mr. Shiveley, there will be approximately 15 employees on staff. At any given
time, there will be two to four employees on -site. He added that the revenue
Quick Quack generates is not subject to the City of Tustin's sales tax.
Public Public comments generally included: Ms. Lana Clay, resident - efficiency of car
Comments. wash, the City should consider mitigating the speed change on Edinger Avenue
for those drivers entering the car wash; Bob Pflomm - fan of Citrus Cafe, and there
being a large number of car washes currently in Tustin; Marie Lluebers — do not
need another car wash in the area, need to conserve water/energy, and is also a
fan of Citrus Cafe.
Shiveley Per Mr. Shiveley, washing a car at home uses more water than when washing a
car at a Quick Quack facility (i.e. approximately 120 gallons (home) vs. 28 gallons
(Quick Quack)). They recycle approximately 98 percent of the water with the
systems used at their facilities.
Commission's The project site is a challenged site/corner; self-service car washes are in high
final demand; ensure signage is appropriate in size (i.e. no large rubber ducky); concern
comments: with access point on Red Hill Avenue; need to look at residential opportunities or
some alternative use for the remainder parcels; and the aesthetics of Citrus Cafe
will be missed.
Motion: It was moved by Mason, seconded by Higuchi, to adopt Resolution No. 4508, as
provided. Motion carried: 4-1. Mello dissented from the vote.

PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS AND REPORTS:
Mason Mason shared with the Commission the recent public workshop that took place
at Zov's restaurant, led by the potential developers for the Enderle Center. The
developers discussed their plans and how they plan to communicate and work
closely with the City, with regards to their intention with the Enderle Center. She
appreciated the update, and suggested the City recruit the public to be more
involved. Mason also suggested the City continue making public engagement a
priority annually or finding ambassadors or advocates to engage the public. She
voiced her concern with the 17t" Street Corridor Plan and would like to receive
updates, as well as get educated on this plan.
Higuchi Higuchi added that the prospective buyer of Enderle Center is Burnham Ward.
Bryon Ward spoke at the workshop and they are contemplating less than 100
for -sale residential units. Zov's, along with some othertenants, will be staying at
the Enderle Center. Burnham Ward's developments include SoCo (Costa Mesa
and Dana Point Harbor).
Kozak Kozak attended the Veterans Day event at Veterans Park on November 9, 2024.
Mello Mello thanked staff for answering all of his questions. He asked if there are plans,
in the near future, to discuss parking in the City. He also asked if there are any
plans for the Pacific Center East Specific Plan (PCESP).
Willkom In response to Mello's previous questions, Willkom stated thatthe overall parking
study would be a big undertaking for the City and requires hiring a consultant.
Currently, there is no timeline. As for the PCESP, there should be more activity in
the future, with the new City Manager in place, but there is currently no timeline.
Douthit Douthit recently attended a Tustin Area Historical Society annual meeting and the
City's 100th Anniversary is only two years away.
Higuchi Higuchi's final comments were related to the community engagement strategy:
his suggestions included: looking at social media as a strategy for public outreach;
there should be a design charette on any controversial project or project in Tustin
Legacy; the public deserves transparency; Higuchi helped set up the Veterans Day
event; and staff should collaborate with the Parks & Rec commissions on future
events.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT
THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 1557,

DESIGNATION AND SUBJECT TO THE IRVINE
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX PLANNED COMMUNITYDITSRICT
REGULATION FOR A 2.14-ACRE VACANT PARCEL
(ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBER (APN) 432-391-59)
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application has been submitted by The Irvine Company for
Zone Change (ZC) 2024-0002, establishing a Planned Community
Industrial (PC-IND subject to the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned
Community) zoning designation for a 2.14-acre parcel identified as
Assessor Parcel (APN) 432-391-59. The proposal does not include
development of the project site.
B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application
on November 12, 2024, by the Planning Commission.
C. That the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is in the best
interest of the public in that it establishes a zoning designation for the project
site that is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element land use
designation and establishes development standards should the property be
developed in the future.
D. That the subject parcel complies with the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned
Community District regulations relative to minimum industrial lot size.
E. That the subject parcel has an established Planned Community Commercial
Business (PCCB) General Plan land use designation that provides
opportunities for a mixture of all those activities permitted within the
Community Commercial, Professional Office, and Industrial land use
designations.
F. That the proposed zone change is consistent with the subject site's
established General Plan land use designation of Planned Community
Commercial Business (PCCB) and the policies of the General Plan, as
evidenced by the following findings:
(a) That the site has been undeveloped and does not have a zoning
Docusign Envelope ID: DOB94D56-5F89-4420-A351-755B72C60AE7
Resolution No. 4509
Page 2
designation; therefore, it has no development potential unless a
zoning district for the parcel is established.
(b) That a parcel with a PC-IND zoning district designation is more
beneficial to the existing and adjacent industrial uses than a vacant
unutilized parcel.
(c) That the project is adjacent and contiguous to an industrial uses and
zone to the South, particularly 2441 Michelle Drive (PC-IND; Irvine
Industrial Complex Planned Community), which has the same zoning
designation.
(d) That the proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan
in that the PC-IND (Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community)
zoning district allows for a combination of general industry,
business and professional offices, and commercial activities and is
consistent with the following goal and policies of the General Plan
Land Use Element:
1. 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.
2. Policy 2.2: Maintain consistency between the Land Use Element,
Zoning Ordinances and other City ordinances, regulations and
standards.
F. That the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), because it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed zone change
application would have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed
zone change would establish a zoning designation for an unzoned vacant
parcel with an established General Plan land use designation. No
development is associated with the subject zone change request.
II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt
Ordinance No. 1557 approving Zone Change 2024-0002, establishing a zoning
designation of Planned Community — Industrial (PC-IND) zoning district, as
identified in Exhibit A attached hereto.

(APN) 432-391-59. The proposal does not include development of the
project site.
B. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on November 12, 2024, by the Planning Commission.
C. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on January 21, 2025, by the City Council.
D. That the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is in the best
interest of the public in that it establishes a zoning designation for the
project site that is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element
land use designation and establishes development standards should
the property be developed in the future.
E. That the proposed zone change is consistent with the subject site's
established General Plan land use designation of Planned Community
Commercial Business (PCCB) and the policies of the General Plan, as
evidenced by the following findings:
(a) That the site has been undeveloped and does not have a zoning
designation; therefore, it has no development potential unless a
zoning district for the parcel is established.
(b) That a parcel with a PC-IND zoning district designation is more
beneficial to the existing and adjacent industrial uses than a
vacant unutilized parcel.
Ordinance No. 1557

Docusign Envelope ID: DOB94D56-5F89-4420-A351-755B72C60AE7
(c) That the project is adjacent and contiguous to an industrial use
and zone to the South, particularly 2441 Michelle Drive (PC-IND;
Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community), which has the
same zoning designation.
(d) That the proposed zone change is consistent with the General
Plan in that the PC-IND (Irvine Industrial Complex Planned
Community) zoning district allows for a combination of general
industry, business and professional offices, and commercial
activities and is consistent with the following goal and policies of
the General Plan Land Use Element:
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.
ii. Policy 2.2: Maintain consistency between the Land Use
Element, Zoning Ordinances and other City ordinances,
regulations and standards.
F. That the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), because
it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed
zone change application would have a significant effect on the
environment. The proposed zone change would establish a zoning
designation for a vacant remnant parcel with an established General
Plan land use designation. No development is associated with the
subject zone change request.
SECTION 2. That the City Council hereby adopts Ordinance No. 1557
establishing a zoning designation of Planned Community —
Industrial (PC-IND) zoning district, as identified in Exhibit A
attached hereto.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase,
or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City
of Tustin hereby declares that it would have adopted this
ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase, or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or
portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
