BUILDING OUR FUTURE
HONORING OUR PAST
The property is currently vacant and the proposed improvements (C09-0204)
involve the construction of a new three-story mixed-use building comprising 7,605
square feet. Parking will be located to the rear of the building and accessed
through the rear alley which allows for a full width fagade along EI Camino Real.
The ground floor of the building will consist of retail uses with 2nd floor office use
and residential use will occupy the 3rd floor. The architectural design of the building
is similar to other buildings located within Old Town Tustin in terms of exterior
materials, massing, and details. Exterior materials consist of brick, stucco, and
concrete with details such as light sconces, awnings, and cornices. There is
repetition and consistency in fenestrations which gives the building balance. Entry
at the sidewalk and orientation towards EI Camino Real serve to enhance
pedestrian access and complement the streetscape.
