325 PASADENA AVENUE, A NON -RATED RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE
ADDITION OF 495 SQUARE FEET FOR A BEDROOM, FULL BATHROOM,
WALK-IN CLOSET, EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING DINING/LIVING ROOM,
ADDITION OF A FRONT PORCH, AND MODIFICATION OF THE ROOF RIDGE
In accordance with Ordinance No. 1001 which was adopted June 20, 1988, by the
Tustin City Council, the Community Development Director has the authority to
approve, approve with conditions, or deny Certificates of Appropriateness* for
improvements requiring a City building permit for property located within a Cultural
Resource District. The project includes the addition of a first -story bedroom, full
bathroom, and walk-in closet in the rear yard. The front yard portion of the project
includes the expansion of an existing living/dining room, addition of a front porch,
and modification to the roof ridge.
The Community Development Department finds and determines as follows:
A. The proposed work conforms to the Municipal Code including density and
setback restrictions. The project meets the design review criteria
established by the municipal code in that the addition of the bedroom, full
bathroom, and walk-in closet occur at the rear of the property and are not
visible from the front of the property. The expansion of the living/dining room
will eliminate angular irregularities at the front of the home and allow the roof
ridge to be established in a straight line which improves the design of the
dwelling as viewed from the street. The addition of the front porch will create
an architecturally intermediate feature on the dwelling and will be compatible
with porches on neighborhood dwellings. All exterior treatments shall match
the colors and materials of the existing building.
B. The proposed work does not adversely affect the character of the District or
Designated Cultural Resources within the District in that all but one structure
on the street are non -rated residential structures and the proposed additions
and modifications to the existing structure will intermingle with the eclectic
mix of architecture in the neighborhood rather than detract from it. The
proposed straight roof ridge and front porch addition are reflective of
architectural building styles in the Cultural Resource District in that the
Greek Revival, Italianate, Colonial Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, and
California Bungalow typically can have straight roof ridges and porches.

pay all applicable plan check and permit fees.
2. All building materials shall match the existing materials, finish, and colors of
the existing structure:
