Item: 11. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP /SUBDIVISION,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, DESIGN REVIEW, AND DENSITY BONUS REQUEST FOR THE
CLEARWATER AT TUSTIN LEGACY SENIOR LIVING PROJECT This item is consideration of
the proposed Clearwater at Tustin Legacy project, a senior living community on a vacant, 6.14-
acre City -owned site at the southeast corner of Warner Avenue and Armstrong Avenue, within
Neighborhood D South of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The project consists of a 172-unit
residential community for active, independent seniors, of which 26 units would be affordable to
Lower Income households, and an approximately 143,000 square foot assisted living and
memory care facility containing 103 units and 134 beds. The development proposal includes
applications for design review, request for a density bonus incentive and waivers, a conditional
use permit, a tentative parcel map, a development agreement, and associated environmental
analysis.
eComment: City Council, This is a beautiful -looking project that I think bodes well for the future of
the Legacy. Senior living is a new use for the area, and a variety of uses will ensure that the
Legacy grows into a neighborhood with distinct character and life, and not just a bedroom
community. I love that development is happening along the linear park, which I think has real
potential to be a gem of Tustin in the future. However, I think it's important that this project does
a bit more to integrate with the adjacent linear park. The plan as -is has crossings at either
corner, roughly 700 feet apart. A raised crossing halfway down the block would be a great
benefit for permeability. The Clearwater front doors are mid -block, so any resident who wants to
go for a walk in the linear park would be better served with a mid -block crossing. Raising the
crossing to level with the sidewalk makes it easier for the mobility -impaired to cross safely and
ensures people don't use John Johnson Way at high speeds, which would make it safer and
more pleasant for those living in Clearwater and anyone enjoying the park. Thank you, Gabriel
Groen
