Council approves first reading for zone change of remnant parcel at Tustin Ranch Road and I‑5
Summary
The council approved first reading by title only of an ordinance to apply planned-community industrial zoning to a vacant remnant parcel at the southeast corner of Tustin Ranch Road and Interstate 5, following a staff presentation that said the parcel was omitted from a 1974 rezoning and is owned by The Irvine Company. The Planning Commission recommended approval (Res. No. 4,509).
The Tustin City Council voted unanimously to give first reading by title only to an ordinance that would apply a planned-community/industrial zoning designation to a vacant remnant parcel at the southeast corner of Tustin Ranch Road and Interstate 5.
Justina, Director of Community Development, told the council the parcel had been left without a zoning designation after a planned reclassification in 1974 because it was at the time intended for dedication to Caltrans as a southbound on-ramp. The parcel remains owned by The Irvine Company, which plans to consolidate it with adjacent office/industrial property for future redevelopment; no development was proposed tonight.
The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4,509 on Nov. 12 recommending approval of the zone-change request (staff identified the change as zone-change 2024-2) and staff recommended the council undertake the first reading of Ordinance No. 15,57 to approve the request.
No members of the public spoke during the public-hearing portion of the item. The council moved, seconded and approved the motion to advance the ordinance (roll call vote 5–0).
The ordinance will return for a subsequent hearing/second reading and any additional required steps prior to final adoption and any associated development proposal will require separate review and approvals.
