FROM THE EXTENDED MORATORIUM
The City Council of the City of Tustin, California, does ordain as follows:
I. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. The Community Development Department is currently conducting a
study to determine the feasibility of establishing architectural
guidelines, zoning requirements and regulations to maintain the
existing single family character and to preserve historic
resources located in the residential area of "Old Town" as shown
on Exhibit A attached hereto.
B. Many existing properties and structures within the "Old Town"
residential area are of substantial historical character and
absence of proper zoning and architectural historic preservation
guidelines is injurious to the public health, safety and
welfare.
C. The Community Development Department has received a preliminary
subdivision proposal which could significantly impact the
character of the "Old Town" residential area.
D. The integrity of the planning process and any resulting
recommendation for the residential area of "Old Town" could be
significantly jeopardized if individual development proposals
within the residential area are processed before new zoning
provisions are negotiated and adopted.
E. Properties originally included in the initial 45 day moratorium
in the vicinity of Yorba Street have been studied and reviewed
and it has been determined that no immediate threat exists and
the moratorium should be amended to exempt these properties
based on the following information:
1. Precise land uses have been delineated for a portion of the
area in the vicinity of Yorba Street as authorized by
Specific Plan No. 9 as adopted on June 10, 1985.
2. The remaining portions of the area have been delineated
within a professional office zone classification.
3. Architectural guidelines established as part of Specific
Plan No. 9 require that the style of architecture be
compatible with the surrounding area.
