Academy, requesting authorization to establish a private indoor
recreational facility (fencing academy) at 14701 Myford Rd, Unit C.

Commercial/Business.

operation of the proposed uses will not, under the circumstances of
this case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or

RESOLUTION NO. 4516
CUP 2024-0020
1. The PC-IND allows for a variety of general industry, business and
professional offices, and commercial activities. Private indoor
recreational facilities are allowed in the PC-IND with a CUP.
2. The proposed private indoor recreational facility (fencing academy)
is located within a multi -tenant industrial center where a variety of
Light industrial and commercial uses are located. As conditioned,
the characteristics of the proposed use and hours of operation
would be similar to other establishments in the industrial center
and the City.
3. Pursuant to TCC 9263, the parking requirement for "studios for
dance, art, martial arts, one-on-one fitness, and tutoring" is one
space per instructor and one space per three students. For two
instructors and 29 students, 12 spaces are required. However, staff
analysis concluded that the project is eligible for AB 2097 because
the project location is within one-half mile of the Tustin Metro Link
Station. Therefore, no minimum parking requirements apply.
F. 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.
G. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1
— Existing Facilities), as established by California Code of Regulations
II. The Planning Commission hereby approves CUP 2024-0020 authorizing
the establishment of an indoor recreation facility (fencing academy) at
14701 Myford Rd, Unit C, subject to the conditions contained within
Exhibit A attached hereto.
