HISTORICiRI PERSPECIFIVE Street -Circa 1946 Tustin's agrarian past significantly influenced the pattern of commercial development in the community. The earliest development in Tustin was focused within Old Town, the community's original commercial center. As Tustin developed, transportation and commercial corridors evolved along First Street with small residential and commercial buildings. The subdivision of properties along First Street created an irregularly shaped streetscape, with most parcels being relatively small in size. Over the years, small parcel sizes limited the size and intensity of development that could occur along First Street. As freeway travel expanded and became easier, First Street patrons were willing to travel farther to find goods and services. Newer and larger retail and service providers were established in Tustin Ranch and along nearby Newport Avenue, creating strong competition for First Street commercial businesses. Although First Street and the Newport (SR-55) Freeway intersect, freeway on- and off-ramps were not provided on First Street, but occurred a block north at Irvine Boulevard. Vehicle traffic found the most direct route to the freeway, resulting in some drivers bypassing First Street. The less-traveled First Street corridor developed from its early status as the primary gateway to the City into a more fragmented pattern of land uses that continues to include a varied mix of historic residential and commercial properties. Land use changes have been infrequent along First Street and the existing mixture of uses share a iow- scale, low-intensity commercial character that is it need of revitalization. Residential uses (including single family, Multi-family, and mobile homes), auto-oriented service uses, office, and smaU retail buildings currently line First Street. Only the First Street properties iocated nearest to Newport Avenue are generally larger and more uniform in use and purpose, B. PLANNING AREA The First Street Specific Plan regulates a commercial corridor that extends approximately a mile along First Street from central Tustin at Newport Avenue to the Newport Freeway (SR-55), as depicted on Exhibit 1. This corridor varies in depth on either side of the street from as little as 0 feet where it abuts the First Stree-L, right-of-way, to almost a quarter of a mile along 1�Ie�mporz Avenue where the Larvon Square and Courtyard commercial centers are loceited cm sites of severai acres. Although the First Street Planning Area is relatively small (approximately 84 acres), it is significant in that it continues to serve as an entry to the City from the west and provides access to the Old Town Tustin historic district and, via Centennial Way, to the Civic Center. The First Street Plannln is divided into three sub-,qreps as si, and 4. Gw?,-, fjp �-;,hlbits 2, 3 C HACKGROUND Over the years the First Street corridor has evolved into an area of considerably variet, development. The quality and condition of the existing built environment varies frOrn high quality projects to those that have not been well maintained with many examples thr0Ug1hQUt the spectrum bet - careen these extremes. The predominant uses existing within the First Street Planning Area are corrimerciav rezar fl, service, and office. Stimulated by concern about the appropriate mix .-or,-,-1")ese prey crM1n,:,,,nt uses as private cleveloprnenit projects were proposed, the City co".'In(J eSZablished, a rnoratorium on the issuance of new building permits on -" un e 3, 3 9a time to establish overall guidance 'ccr furthrcr development. The Ffrsi Sired S.Pecill"Ic Plan (the "Plan") is the vehicle appmved by the Tustin GLIf tM UTOA1,51e that g,,,uidance. I When adopted in 1985, the First Street Specific P12,n was envisioned to be a 15 year plan. More than 25 years later, in 2011, the Tustin Planning Commission and City staff initiated an effort to update the Plan. As described in more detail in Appendix E, an intensive series of consultanVstaff workshops, public meetings and Planning Commission/City Council work sessions and public hearings led to formulation of the original 1985 Specific Plan and its 2012 Amendmert, 011, PURPORE The goal ofi- bete i985 First Street Specific Plan vjFs to identify an approp,,a 4ate mix of cCMInerCal emd, office uses for the area, Tustin -fty I "ouncil vvas 'Concerned about an erosiord 0i� commercial potential" along this gateway street.

If. LAND USE MN A INTRODUCTION The Land Use Plan contains the essential components of the Specific Plan and the policy direction which serve as the foundation for development regulations and guidelines which are used in reviewing and approving development projects within the First Street Specific Plan. There is a tendency to emphasize problems in planning documents because perceived problems are frequently the stimulus for undertaking a plan. While there certainly are some real challenges in the Planning Area, it is equally evident that these are unique attributes and considerable opportunities which combine to offer the potential for a balance between preservation, rehabilitation, and new development. The main idea of the Specific Plan is to preserve what is good, improve what is not and allow growth if,ihere market forces are evident through private market decisions, The basis for this Plan lies in I I the Tustin General Plan (see Append s' ;.: G for F� summary of General Plan consistency)and 2) the analysis undertaken to prepare or annend the Specific Plan (embodied in the accompanying appendices). '-,!hfe following 1ey points ShOLAId be kept an mind in reaOng and using thus .Specific Plan, E The primary uses of the area are eincul shcWd remain commercial retail, service, and, office. Differences in uses and regulations within the area are based on the intensft�a and characteristics of each subarea, 2. The City will depend primarily on private market decisions to stirnulate development and improvements in the area. 3. Diversity of appearance within certain broad quality guidelines ?s desorable, as called out in the Design Guidelines (Appendix A). 4. The Plan is a conscious compromise between one extreme of doing nothing and the other of trying to cornpletely change the area. The balance thus achieved will hopefully provide a stable and durable basis for decision making in the area. 5. in order for the area to work best, a c6reative partner-ship between the City, property a,v,fners and tenants is required. The Specific , Plan is intended to �e the foundation for that partnership and vAl support it more effectively than n7cTe traditional planning approaches. 6.

There is little traffic congestion and ample parking along First Street. 7, Property owners are encouraged to make positive changes, while maintaining a "human scale" environment along First Street. The plan concept consists of the following components: 1. Subareas The corridor is made up oi� three subareas, each characterized by a particular land use emphasis. Surbevea 11, closest to the Newport (SR-55) Freeway, is at mixec, t;jse c�,,qp-jcz- m e area (Exhibit 2). rcr�a,' Subarea 2, either side of the El Camino ReaVFTospect Avenue !1-3m'secJons, is 2, transition area with an ernphasis on retail commercial and senfte developmera (Exhibit 31, Stuobarea 3, anchored by two relatively large shopping centers faciiing j\,iewporl A�,,,enue, is predominantly a retail and service commercial area, but a, strong oMce enclave (Exhibit 4). 2, Preservation of 11-lumari Scale and Character Site developrrient strain lards, with only a Couple of exceptions, limit development to one or vivo stories directly along the corridor. Efforts are made through the Design Gujdeiines to achieve a low-profile "pedestrian-friendly" environment by making it po5sjbie to E ,nove freely within each sub;-14,rea ,7-orn business to business. Moreo%,er, ul ye Vi3L,,Fl image being sought is one of hurnenh scale, not dominated by large or hkgh close-in building masses, with stree?,scape Fnd the design of the public reaIrn, adc"ing to sense of place for First Street, In summa, the concept seeks as balance between market responsive expansion on the one hand and pTeServation of the basic existing scale and character or) the other.

(,,s a means to gnLggragI2 lot consolidation along First Street rather than requiring it by specii)(ing larger than presently existing lot sizes, the City Planning Commission may grant certain bonuses for consolidations exceeding a certain level. These bonuses may include relaxed height limitations, , parking reductions, relaxed setbacks or other such modiflication,sas may be determined to be appropriate. To quanlify for a lot consolidation bonus, the total area of the lots being combined or cohesively designed must surpass the minimum required lot size by at least 50 percent. If a minimum lot size is not stipulated, the lots being combined or cohesively designed are automatically eligible for bonus provisions. For example, two adjacent owners want to cohesively develop their properties as one development. Property owner A's property is 7,500 square feet and property B's lot is 9,000 square feet. The minimum lot size requirement under which they are developing is I O,OCG square feet. Combined, their development parcel(s) safely exceeds 15,000 square feet f50 percent over minimum of 15,000), therefore they may seek lot consolidation bonuses. It should be specifically noted here that this is a c-ornpletely discredonary ?,r-tiGn oti sine Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is under r;o obligration, to grant development bonuses. In addition to determining the degree of the bonus pro-&kon, they will also determine how vveH the development has addressed the Design Guidelines of this Specific Plan. Ar°y bonuses may be granted by the Planning Commission on a case -by -case basis � ,-,,eitln past actions not affeuing future direction. Each develops stands on its ovyr rnerit.

FL CON'SOUDATE'D PARKING/ACCESS BONUS Any development proposal which incorporates either consolidated parking or F reciprocal access agreement with an adjacent use may be eligible i"or the Consolidated Parking/Access Bonus. The bonus shall be an overall reduction of required parking spaces by up to 2C percent (20%). 1, General All regular administrative provisions of the Tustin Zoning Code shall apply to all properties within the First Street Specific Plan boundaries, including but not limited to Design Review, Zoning Permits, Conditional Use Permits, Appeals, Amendments, public notice and hearing provisions.

These tasks ultimately assisted the study team to reach conclusions about what was there and how it related to the goals of the study. The two 1985 conditions exhibits discussed here include- 1 985 land use 1. P;85 Lz, -id Use The 1985 land use exhibit confirmed much rof what the ,3ttijly ter- .1m ha I c�di generally been told abotit the a°,Ea. Land Uses were generally well rn!xed, with retail cOmmerdai and office develop iy-nent the most predomNnant, Also, the c-area generalt'y became less commercial in nalure as one traveled in a, westerly direction from Newport Avenue to the Newport Freeway (55 Freeway), A small fcarnify ofaL.qo- related uses on side 0� F;rst Street near El Camir3o Real was el so fount -1. Residential propem,'es �.4-ere t,,Iie predominant norF-onforming use along the coTTidior, See ExHbit 5, E;60ng 120 o 2) La,a -jd Use The existing land use exhibit demonstrates that there is a mixture of cornn nerd ".16 retail, service, of Ice, and residential uses along the Ffrs!

As S,"10'Ain JIrl Exhibit 6, there is only one vacant lot within the Spe,'-Hic Plan area. 2, 1985 ZoMrqi I'he Zoning Fl:!oT to vlje i 985 First Street Specific Plan exhibit coupled with the 1985 First Street Exivfnc � Land Use exhibit posed striking observations from the study tears. The one distinctive conclusion made was the proliferation of commercial zoning at the western end of First Street and the general lack of primary ,' uses located there, The other fairly obvious notation about the zoning configuraticn was the lack of depth presented by the commercial zonfing with medlurn, and 1'0= ,Af density residential zoning Immediately to the Tear of First Street properties.

In addition, auto repair, single family residences and other previously prohibited uses were reintroduced as permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the Specific Plan, iv N WE 5 5 � Costa s Mesa Fli y 5 Irvine Blvd N C1 C7 N G� Q Main Street €E v First Street Specific Ilan 1985 First street Existing Land Use Map EXHIBrr 5 Commercial Residential Vacant N ®+E Irvine ON4 Costa Mem .FWY m\. | _ ( 3 � Main Street � s ± � ~2 First Street Specific Plan y Commercial ffmVacant Residen" Oa 2012 First SeetExisting Land Use M2 = Mixm Use � oma.

The next important step is the identification of physical opportunities and constraints against which the L market opportunities can be rneasured. These factors, combined with public input and policy /technical direction from the City, are the ingredients used in shaping the content of the plan. This existing --onditions summary and map were used in 19,95 in part to identify the issues, goals, objectives and policies in G`�apter 11 of the Specific Plan. The potential measures were evaluated for powintial use ir', the regulatory guideline portions of the F'Jan. The First Street corridor is an area of distinct contrasts, On one hand, certain commercial properties have well designed, intensively used developments, particularly the ones located at the eastern terminus of First Street at Newport Boulevard, while a few blocks west of El Camino Real the buildings exhibit an older, less consistent image, where underutilized deveiap ments are more prevalent. Analyzing First Street at the Speclfgc Plan level, it becomes ap pa- rent That the street should continue to be planned as a cohesive whole with concentrations of "farn,,'Iies of uses" domina'tir;g certain sections of the street, In many revitalization situations similar in nature to First Street, the initial reaction mV-,',' be to correct problems with long range, costly and controversial remedies. These remedies remedies It lypically take the form of inflexible mandatary regulatory formats for or development. Such approaches do little to stimulate private commercial development, The City of Tustin was and is interested in providing catalysts for change by providing regulatory "opportunity" through the judicious use of revised site development standards and the stimulus of incentive or bonus provisions. It was the consultam team's goal in 1985 to prepare a pm-business, pro-economic strategy plan designed to. solve immediate physical problems as well as offer long-range programs for ongQlng project-wide improvements. Certain opportunities and' Constraints have been identified thus Far an-_" are summarized below. See Exhibit 8 for a visual depiction of the 00130rtl-lnitfesand? constraints identified in 1985, V • There are several large cohesively designed shopping centers in the area. • Relatively few buildings are in poor condition. • There are recent instances of quaNy redevelopment/development within the area. • Pe ppertree Park, althouqi"3 not within the specific plan boundary, contributes a 3pec,,al landscape atmosphere which relates to the corridor, 0 AAosl revi-Paiizadon cpportunities will occur in small, iden'lff4abie pockets. ro Fhe entry to El Camino Real offers a special N-5terical 5reetscape element nearly in the r ddlie of the pro , ject ire a, c,EF(eri,ng a central node of development for First Street. • ffrier project are � a s Prospect Street, the majunr north­sout�' t�afflfc ci -' located in the center of the area, rein!t)r(JrfIc Real. i The ejcV'Aly nodre provided by El Canni,,qo First Street has identifiable east and )A,,esl entry points at the Newport Froeway anc�' Newpoa'� present streetscape system on First Street contains good elements ivhich c,:-?n be incorporated into the proposed plan. The medians with turf and well-established olive trees complement the existing Ficus nitida. The curbside amenities (street furniture) fulfill functiona,; needs but may not add aesthetically to the streetscape scene. • The project area, has a series of equalij spaced nodes or intersections that, when developed and enhanced, would help draw shoppers along its entire length. • There appears to be little traffic congestion in the study Fine?, in relatio,7, Zm other commercial areas in southern California, with the most serious peak, hourrongestion occurring on the easVwest peripheries, cunzra'i'nFz Circulation; There is a Jack o,0,7 convenient inter-site circulation, Jn that vehicles j­'qust general,'y enter First Street to access the adjacent site. Mixed Land Uses: While a mixture �f lancill usesr.,'ein add excitement to an area, in the case cf';First Street there is no corqerlve farnrieiiy of uses which encourage spontaneous M shopping or strolling, etc. In fact many ad,,acerl land uses <)T'e incompatible with one another. Scattered Retail Uses: The existing retail uses which comprise the First Street Specific Plan area are too dispersed. The area exhibits the physical characteristics of strip commercial development but without enough truly auto-related retail uses to capitalize on its linear shape. 10 Poorly maintained buildings: Some properties within the Specific Plan area are in need of maintenance. Along First Street,, there are non-conforming uses, vacancies and older, poorly maintained buildings. Lack of Freeway Entry (Newport (SR-55) Freeway), One ct,' i -_first Streets -na* jar constraints is its lack of direct Freeway access, both vehicuiar atncf ',V!5L!e-7L Nioreover, entry at Newport Avenue doesn't offer .a Small, shailo,,& development parcels: Commercial development' on single, shallow g lots does little to promote viable larger commercial centers on "irst Street (such as Larwin Square or The Courtyard), The most successfu,7 commercial and office developments have assembled and consolidated lots along and behind, Fsrst Street. inconsistent Development Standards: The inconsistent mixture of architectural styles, parking conflgurcations, setback canf� landscape rep juiremews, while offering a variety of individual site conditions ladks any cc)icsjveness which could tie all of these varietai" standard's ',.ogether. This gives First Street no sense of cohesiveness or commercial !d`entity, Potential Measures The following analysis outlines programs which might be able to take advantage of the area's opportunities to improve some challenging conditions. It is by no means inclusive or a final recommendation. This list is simply a compilation of some ideas that have been successfully applied in situations similar to First Street. • Consolidate small lots (either through private land ass.ernbiy or coordinated site planning), developing more efficient use of land, creating a more efficient building site, and providing a non-strip commercial atmosphere. Depth needs to be established where possible. • I J Establish development incentives for prove ding off street parking , rAl '�th improved inter-property circulation opportunities, These development incentives could be the relaxation of certain development standards for rnwe efficient parking design or streetscape amenities. Vii • Form a Business Improvement District to guide project-wide improvements. This could be similar in nature to a merchant's association in a mail or shopping center. it could be self policed; it could solve problems of who cares for shared parking lots, it could even sponsor promotional events. • Provide alternatives to front setback parking lots. 0 Establish new, comprehensive site development standarc),Is unique to the area.

October 23, 2012 Tustin Planning Commission adopts Resolution No, 4209 recommending that the Tustin City Council approve Specific !darn Amendment 2012 -001. The process, highlighted by these key dates and events, was accompanied throughout the project life by a very close and constructive staff /consultant communication that resulted in clarifying a great number of technical questions as needed so that policy issues could be focused upon by the public, the Planning Commission and the City Council, The quality of this working relationship was the major ingredient in completing the plan In an unusually short period of time. 91 FLAN' CCNq'SISTENCY Section 65860 of the California Government Code requires that zoning be consistent with ajurisdiction's General Plan. The dominant element of the City of Tustin Genera.', i-`IFn relevant ,"o the First Street Specific Plan Area is the Land Use Element. The City's General Plan Land Use Element designates the area as PC Commercial/Business, Under this land use designation, a mix of commercial and office uses such as hoteVmotels, commercial centers, research and development, and professional offices are permitted. The First Street Specific Plan is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies: ,GOAL 1: Provide for a well balanced land use pattern that accommodates existing and future needs for housing, commercial Fn.d industrial land, open space and community facilities and services, while maintaining a healthy, diversified economy adequate to provide future City services. Policy ti .8: Provide incentives to encourage lot consolidation and parcel assemblage to provide expanded opportunities for coordinated development and redevelopment. GOAL, 5: Revitalize older commercial, industrial and residential uses and properties Policy 5.2: Provide development incentives to facilitate the consolidation of individual parcels along the City's commercial corridors. GOAL 7: Promote expansion of the City's economic base and diversification of economic activity, illoiicy 101.6: Encourage the integration of retail or service commercial uses on the street level of office projects through flexibility in site development standards. F �90 I 1q, y 1'0.7: Encourage the consolidation of individual parcels /consolidated site planning and parking and access (long First Street and in Old Town throug,,11 utilization of development incentives such as reduced parking, height bonus, lot coverage relaxation, allowance for secondary uses, fee waivers, and/or financial assistance in land acquisition and/or infrastructure improvements. Policy 103: Review the First Street Specific Plan including modifications to the Plan which would consider issues associated with eliminating and prohibiting future automobile service-related uses and restrictions on the expansion of existing automobile service related uses. Xi The Plan responds directly to these goals and policies by providing for appropriate commercial retail, service, and office uses. It responds indirectly by reinforcing successful development and stimulating both economic growth and aesthetic improvement on First Street. The Plan effects a change not so much in the nature of uses along First Street but the balance, arrangement, development standards and design characteristics of office, commercial and specialized uses so that they will be more responsive to market opportunities and enhance the First Street corridor, The First Street Specific Plan is therefore consistent with the City of Tustin General Plan. xii APPENDIX G FINDINGS I. The proposed commercial and office development is consistent in intensity and character with the City's adopted General Plan. 2. Reasonable alternatives to the plan and their implications have been considered, 3. The scope and depth of plan analysis are commensurate with the level of detail contained in the plan and the specificity of land use entitlement its adoption authorizes, 4. The various components of the plan as well as the plan in it's entirely are sensitive to the environmental and public Policy impacts Of the proposed development. 5. Appropriate mitigation measures are incorporated in the plan to insure that concerns identified at this level of planning are resolved as part of the more detailed site plan review which must be completed before private development may proceed. 6, Administration of the plan is thoroughly integrated into the City's development processing system. 7. All subjects required in a specific plan by the California Government Code and applicable City ordinances are appropriately and adequately covered. 8. Adequate time and opportunities have been afforded interested organizations and members of the public to comment on or propose changes to the plan if they so desired. 9. The level of development direction established by the plan is sufficient to eliminate the need for a continued development moratorium in the First Street corridor. 2012 First Sheet Specific Pian SP t0-2072Fim Street Specific Plan Proposed Zoning Map -.

Both t3rigible and intangible elements contribute to a person's perception of what First Street is and how its fits into the City's urban environment This section represents a careful analysis of the design princi ' ples that will mold a better First Street environment and,)ow they contribute to an, ',quality' experience. I R7tre-etscape, Vision, and__ Placemaking This document provides design direction, illustrations and photographs related to new and existing development as well as the street and public right-of-way. The following pages include streetscape, placemaking and landscaping as well as the building, how it is sited, parking lots, and rehabilitation. This manual addresses each of these elements in general terms and establishes the guidelines which can be used and expanded upon in more detail through the site planning process. Each guideline should be considered for how it applies to a given project The illustrated examples are intended as images of a vision which communicate ideas and should not be viewed as design solutions that are to be strictly adhered to. This document is not intended to limit the work of designers, but to provide a flexible framework to accomplish an overriding concept and to encourage quality development which will f=stablish First Street as a special place for work, shopping and rFcreation. These design guidelines will serve to preserve the unique character of First Street and create a vision for the future. The implementation of this plan will make a significant contribution to the quality of life of all users of First Street and those who dwell in the area. 5 I Fv " �6iunhs The 90�Is 07 thle First-SVeetSIreecscc-3,pePlan are as follows: I.

While moving vehicles is one of their purposes, streets are spaces, even destinations in and of themselves. Conceiving of a street as a public space and establishing design guidelines that serve multiple social functions involves several fundamental steps. We need to redefine whom the street ougit),j to serve. By approaching scree s- as public spaces, cities redirect their attention from creating traffic conduits to designing a place for the people who use the street. People put the place back in streets. The environmental and aesthetic quality of a street is a significant determinant in the perception, by both residents and passersby, of the image or identity of an area and the subsequent potential enjoyment of its use. A street can be a boring, chaotic, disoriented place of frustration, and a place of unpleasant experiences and associations. On the other hand, a street can be a coherent expression of form providing order and clarity to the organization of urban development providing enjoyable experiences of the variety and richness of tjhc ei-vii of iment.

While there are sidewalks and some street furniture both could be improved. Along several sections of the street the sidewalks narrow or disappear. When walking along First Street a pedestrian will have to navigate around a utility box, sign, or even a landscape planter. Additionally, the street is lacking uniform street 'furniture. Traffic along the street is not what it was 20 years ago. The 55 is no longer connected to First Street First Street now serves more as a neighborhood commercial corridor than a transportation Dortation corridor. Yet the entrance to Tustin from Santa Ana on the west side of the street is still an important link. The median entrance sign on this side is still an significant feature that Could be enhanced.

Lariclscapkv s7ano'-tanrjls Street Tree Man tinoL Tustin's street tree program of Tabebuia avellanedae should be applied to First Street. Many existing planting pockets contain no landscape materials whatsoever. These should be planted with a Tabebuia avellanedae and have a tree grate installed. In all new tree plantings, a mcc;-,: barrier box should be installed but only alongthe cunt and' sidewalk. This will lessen the damage done to curb and sidewalk due to invasive roots. Tabebuia avellanedae, Jacaranda Mimosifolia, Koelreuteria bipinniata and Ge4era parviflora are recommended trees for other areas, i.e., parking lots, alleys, etc., within the First Street area.
