NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves
Conditional Use Permit No. 3153-21, Design Review No. 3056-22, and Minor Site Plan Review
No. 1071-21, to remodel an existing 1,748 square foot tenant space and modify existing site paving
to accommodate a new drive -through restaurant, based on the following findings:
SECTION 1— FINDINGS
General Plan Finding:
1. The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's General
Plan.
The project is consistent with the goals and policies stated in the City's General Plan Land
Use and Economic Development Elements in that the renovation of an existing, vacant
tenant space with a newly constructed restaurant with drive -through service and site
Resolution PC 08-22
Page 3 of 10
improvements will increase the economic viability of the business through aesthetic
enhancement and the elimination of physical deterioration. In addition, reinvestment in the
site will not only support a revenue generating business, but will also allow it to be
competitive with other restaurants with drive -through service in the area, which will in turn
contribute to the economic vitality and jobs in the area.
Conditional Use Permit Findings:
1. A Conditional Use Permit shall be granted upon sound principles of land use and in
response to services required by the community (OMC 17.10.030.F.1).
The granting of this Conditional Use Permit is based upon sound principles of land use and
in response to services required by the community in that consideration has been given to
whether the proposed use will detrimentally affect adjacent land uses. The subject property
is presently developed as a commercial shopping center on a heavily traveled commercial
corridor that offers a wide variety of retail and restaurant services to City residents and
persons traveling to the area. The project site will remain a commercial shopping center
use and will provide a new restaurant with drive -through service with a sufficient queuing
and stacking of vehicles. The drive -through ordering systems speakers include an
automatic volume control feature to minimize noise. Also, placement of the order speaker
is over 200 feet from residential buildings to the west and the speakers are oriented to the
south toward the center's parking lot. New trees and landscaping will provide an updated
appearance to proposed outdoor seating areas. Granting a permit in this instance is
therefore based upon sound land use principles and responds to the needs of the community
at -large.
2. A Conditional Use Permit shall not be granted if it will cause deterioration of bordering
land uses or create special problems for the area in which it is located (OMC
17.10.030. F. 2).
The project is not expected to detrimentally affect adjacent land uses or create special
problems in the area. The site is surrounded by commercial development and a park to the
north, multiple family residences and commercial development to the south, State Route
55 and a Park & Ride parking lot to the east, and multiple -family 'residences to the west.
The proposed site layout will alter existing drive aisles but will not interfere with access
onto the property from existing driveway entrances or change fire or refuse service access
on any of the bordering properties. A queuing analysis for vehicle stacking for the project
has been analyzed and deemed acceptable by the City's Traffic Engineer. The applicant
has prepared a contingency plan that would be activated in the event the queue exceeds
eight vehicles, allowing for vehicle overflow within the parking lot, having employees
monitor vehicle queue stacking, and directing vehicles for mobile order pick-up to park on -
site. No spill over onto public streets is anticipated due to the drive -through entrance
location and orientation. The nearest residential property is over 200 feet to the west, sound
from the speakers is not anticipated to create a nuisance. The speaker board will be subject
to the noise level parameters of the Zoning Code.
Resolution PC 08-22
Page 4 of .10
3. A Conditional Use Permit must be considered in relationship to its effect on the community
or neighborhood plan for the area in which it is located (OMC 17.10.030.F.3).
The new restaurant with drive -through service will replace two vacant tenant spaces with
one that will better serve the community. The new detached patio and associated
landscaping improvements generally satisfy the development standards for the commercial
district. The project brings a contemporary character to an area comprised of commercial
buildings with various design styles yet retains a one-story scale along the street frontage
that takes into consideration pedestrians and adjacent commercial properties. The
proposed landscaping will complement the project design and will refresh and integrate
well with landscaping along Lincoln Avenue. All right-of-way improvements including
accessibility requirements have been satisfied. Therefore, the effects on the community
within this area of the City have been considered and appropriately addressed and any
specific requirements are included as conditions to be satisfied prior to permit issuance.
4. A Conditional Use Permit, if granted, shall be made subject to those conditions necessary
to preserve the general welfare, not the individual welfare of any particular applicant
(OMC 17.10.030.F4).
All project conditions maintain a purpose of preserving the general welfare of the City and
community. Conditions specifically serve to manage project construction impacts, provide
for site maintenance, address water quality, accommodate disabled person site access,
protect or improve the public right-of-way, protect or improve utilities and accommodate
aesthetics. In addition, conditions have been included to prevent drive -through queuing
impacts on Lincoln Avenue, and to ensure the noise associated with the drive -through
restaurant is in compliance with the City's noise regulations.
Design Review Findings:
1. The project design upholds community aesthetics through the use of an internally
consistent, integrated design theme and is consistent with all adopted specific plans,
applicable design standards, and their required findings (OMC 17.10.070. G. 3).
The project complies with the OMC and the Tustin Street Design Standards. The proposed
covered patio will complement the building's architectural design by utilizing similar
building elements for a high quality project with visual interest and by providing an outdoor
dining experience for the public. The proposed project reflects design standards of
Thematic District 2 where the architecture selected is consistent with the established design
theme but also provides addition materials that enhances pedestrian scale design and
provides varied and interesting places to attract people. Staff believes the proposed project
is appropriate and overall upholds community aesthetics through the use of an internally
consistent, integrated design theme and is consistent with Tustin Street Design Standards
Thematic District 2.
Resolution PC 08-22
Page 5 of 10
Minor Site Plan Review Findings:
1. The project design is compatible with surrounding development and neighborhoods OMC
17.10.060. H.1).
The surrounding development and neighborhood consist of commercial uses to the north
and south, multiple -family residential uses to the west and south and the State Route 55
and a Park & Ride parking lot to the east. The proj ect will provide a renovated architectural
and landscaped appearance to the center, consistent with surrounding development in its
massing, scale, design and function.
2. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project conforms to City development
standards and any applicable special design guidelines or specific plan requirements
(OMC 17.10.060. H. 2).
The project as proposed will conform to City development standards for the C-TR zoning
district and is consistent with Tustin Street Design Standards Thematic District 2. The
proposed patio cover, building material change and modification of the site to
accommodate the new drive -through lane creates a cohesive and integrated design theme,
compatible with the various architectural styles that exist within the shopping center.
3. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project provides for safe and adequate
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, both on- and off -site (OMC 17.10. 060.H..3).
The project provides safe and adequate access and circulation for vehicles and pedestrians
along North Tustin Street and East Lincoln Avenue. The on -site circulation has been
designed to accommodate all access needs for parking spaces and for emergency vehicles.
There is sufficient queue stacking for eight vehicles and no vehicles are anticipated to spill
out onto the public street. In addition, the queue study provides for a contingency plan to
be activated should there be periods where longer queues form that could impact the
center's internal circulation. The contingency plan would include monitoring of the queue
and utilizing an advance mobile ordering for customers and designating a parking space
near the pick-up window for larger orders requiring more time. Disabled parking and
access have been designed to accommodate building code requirements.
4. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if City services are available and adequate to
serve the project (OMC 17.10.060.H.4).
A review of the project with all City departments concludes that City services will be
available and adequate to serve this site, including water, sewer, police and fire services.
5. Minor Site Plan approval shall be granted if the project has been designed to fully mitigate
or substantially minimize adverse environmental effects (OMC 17.10.060.H.5).
No environmental effects have been identified for the project. The OMC will adequately
manage construction and use regulation needs of the project.
