AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION III AND
SUBSECTION C OF SECTION VI OF, AND ADDING
PARAGRAPH 4 TO SUBSECTION I OF SECTION V OF,
THE IRVINE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX PLANNED
COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS ORDINANCE,
ESTABLISHING OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
(RV) STORAGE AS A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE
AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO
OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE
The City Council of the City of Tustin ordains as follows:
Section 1. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. An amendment to Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community District
Regulations related to outdoor recreational vehicle storage has been
prepared to conditionally permit the use in the district, and to establish
development standards and a definition for recreational vehicles.
B. A Negative Declaration has been prepared in conformance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), was available for review by
the public from May 29, 2003 through June 18, 2003, and adopted by
Resolution No. 03-89 by the City Council.
C. The proposed amendment is reasonably necessary to protect the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Tustin.
D. The proposed zone change to conditionally permit outdoor storage of
recreational vehicles is consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that the
site is located within a Planned Community Commercial/Business land use
designation. This land use designation provides for a mixture of uses and
activities such as warehousing, distribution, research and development,
commercial, and office uses.
E. Outdoor recreational vehicle storage, if adequately regulated, is appropriate
within the context of the industrial character of the Irvine Industrial Complex.
F. As shown in the Negative Declaration prepared for Zone Change 03-004
(Exhibit A of Resolution No. 03-89), adding outdoor recreational vehicle
storage to the Irvine Industrial Complex as a conditionally permitted use
would not result in any significant or potentially significant impacts.
Individual outdoor recreational vehicle storage facilities can have potentially
negative impacts on aesthetics, parking, traffic, water quality, and land use,
if not adequately regulated. As a conditionally permitted use, the impacts of
each outdoor recreational vehicle storage facility would be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis by the Planning Commission to ensure compatibility. In
addition, the proposed development standards will limit the area in which
these types of uses may locate, will ensure sufficient screening, and prohibit
undesirable accessory uses such as servicing or habitation by specifying
that outdoor recreational vehicle storage must be accessory to a primary
self-storage facility, must be located on the rear half of a lot, must not cover
more than twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area, must be screened on all
sides, not encroach into required parking spaces or landscape areas, not
obstruct access to any door, window, or other entrance to, or exit from, a
building, not involve servicing or maintenance of recreational vehicles, not
involve septic dumping, and not involve habitation of recreational vehicles.
