8. CODE AMENDMENT 2024-0002 (ORDINANCE NO. 1536) – (CODE STREAMLINING AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM) The City’s Strategic Plan identifies development streamlining as one of its goals. The proposed Code Amendment (CA) 2024-0002 is a City-initiated request to amend Tustin City Code (TCC) Article 9 (Land Use) as part of the Community Development Department’s Code Streamlining and Improvement Program. The goal of the Code Streamlining and Improvement Program is to evaluate the City’s land use code and propose amendments to sections that lack clarity, are outdated, or do not respond to current market trends. The proposed CA also streamlines the entitlement process in order to increase effectiveness and efficiency. The Community Development Department will continue to evaluate land use related codes and practices on a regular basis and will introduce amendments when appropriate in the future. On February 27, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 4471 (Attachment A), recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1536, approving CA 2024-0002. The Planning Commission Minutes are provided as Attachment B for reference. - City of Tustin, CA
