Meeting: Regular Meeting of the City Council/Closed Session-4:30 pm/Regular Meeting-6:00 pm
Item: 11. CODE AMENDMENT 2024-0006, SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENTS 2024-0005 AND
2024-0006 - MODIFICATIONS TO THE MULTI -FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PARKING & PRIVATE
STORAGE STANDARDS CITYWIDE, AND IN THE DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CORE & RED
HILL AVENUE SPECIFIC PLANS On October 22, 2024, the Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council adopt amendments to the multi -family residential parking
and private storage requirements in the Tustin City Code, Downtown Commercial Core Specific
Plan and Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan. The subject amendments implement policy actions
addressing potential barriers to housing production identified in an assessment of the Downtown
Commercial Core Specific Plan and Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan, which were presented to the
City Council in December 2023. The proposed amendments would: 1. Implement a scalable
parking requirement for multi -family residential development based on the number of bedrooms
per unit, subject to the development standards within the Downtown Commercial Core Specific
Plan, Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan and Tustin City Code. 2. Allow tandem parking for resident
parking spaces citywide. Tandem parking would continue to be prohibited for guest parking. 3.
Remove the requirement for private storage areas within the Downtown Commercial Core
Specific Plan and Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan, and remove the citywide requirement for
private storage cabinets within carports.
eComment: Hi, We need to spur as much housing development as possible to avoid the young
middle class from being vulnerable to homelessness. We in Tustin actually have abundant
parking but scarce affordable housing. Please consider reducing parking minimums to let the
free market decide how best to utilize our limited land resources. As someone in late 20s in
Tustin, my only option for home ownership is if the council decides to not oppose new housing.
My American dream is dependent on you not preferring parking over an attainable roof over my
head. I am sure people my age who would like to start families think the same. If you give a
young person an option between a $3000 rent for 2BHK and 2 parking spots and a $2500 rent
for 2BHK with 1 parking spot, they will take the cheaper option almost always. Reducing parking
minimums will allow developers to build more housing on the same plot of land ensuring more
supply is available for those in need. Thanks
