160 SOUTH B STREET
The project site is zoned Single Family Residential (R1) and is located within the Cultural
Resource Overlay (CR) District. The property is listed on the City of Tustin Historic
Resources Survey 1990 (erroneously identified as 160 B St (N)) and 2003 Historic
Resources Survey (HRS) and was constructed in 1909 in the Colonial Revival
architectural style. It has a "C rating in the 1990 HRS and a "5D1" rating in the 2003
HRS, both of which indicate it is a contributor to a district that is listed or designated
locally. The property is significant as one of the few examples of Colonial Revival
architecture in Tustin and for its association with John and Alice Dwyer, early residents of
Tustin.
The property is improved with a 1,008 square foot single-story residence, and the following
unpermitted construction: a 342 square-foot carport, a 500 square-foot enclosed storage
room and a 490 square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU). There is no garage for
vehicular parking on the property.
The project is to demolish the unpermitted carport and storage room, legalize the
unpermitted 490 square-foot ADU through issuance of a building permit, and construct a
new 526 square-foot garage attached to the ADU (Building Permit #COMBR-2019-00377).
The ADU/garage structure is located at the rear of the property.
Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9252, prior to construction of improvements
requiring a building permit within the CR District, a Certificate of Appropriateness is
required subject to specific findings.
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 CR District.
The Community Development Department finds and determines as follows:
A. The proposed improvements conform to the TCC and any applicable design
standards in that the proposed project meets Zoning Code and Building Code
requirements, and CR District Residential Design Guidelines.

B. The proposed work does not adversely affect the character of the CR District or
Designated Cultural Resources within the district. There are no proposed changes
to the main residence and its character defining features will be preserved. The
ADU and attached garage would be located to the rear of the main residence
approximately one hundred twenty-six(126)feet from the front property line and will
be minimally visible from the public right-of-way. The proposed two-car garage will
provide required on-site parking for the main residence in compliance with the
Zoning Code. No parking is required for the ADU as it is located within one-quarter
mile of public transportation in compliance with State law.
C. The proposed work is harmonious with existing surroundings in that the proposed
ADU and attached garage are sufficiently separated so as not to detract from the
original 1909 residential structure. The proposed work would not cause a
substantial change in the visual appearance of the site as the architectural features
reflect, but do not duplicate, similar features on the main residence. The new
structure is detached from the main residence and is subordinate in size and clearly
differentiated so that the identity of the main residential structure is unimpaired.
The proposed roof pitch, doors, windows, materials and color range are consistent,
compatible and harmonious with the main residential structure.
The proposed work is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall record a Deed Restriction to ensure that no part of the property
may be subdivided or sold separately, that the accessory dwelling unit shall remain
ancillary to the primary residential use and that the.accessory dwelling unit shall not
be used as a short-term rental property. If rented, the accessory dwelling unit must
have a minimum rental term of thirty (30 days).
2. The applicant shall pay for costs associated with necessary code enforcement
action, including attorney's fees, subject to the applicable notice, hearing and
appeal process as established by the City Council by ordinance. At the date of
approval, costs associated with code enforcement action total $1,680.58 and shall
be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit.
3. The new attached two-car garage shall be used for parking and storage of vehicles
per Section 9297 of the TCC.
4. Prior to the start of any work, the applicant shall obtain a building permit and pay all
applicable plan check and permit fees.
