11. CODE AMENDMENT 2024-0007: RESIDENTIAL OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS The Community and Economic Development Department has prepared Objective Design Standards for multi-family and mixed-use residential projects. Objective Design Standards are prescriptive regulations that are intended to shape the design of residential development projects. The creation and adoption of Objective Design Standards implements Program 1.2a of the Housing Element Implementation Program and aligns with recent State laws that require cities to approve certain affordable housing projects without discretionary review. Objective Design Standards also provide housing projects an opportunity for a streamlined review process. From July to October 2024, City staff and the City's consultant, Placeworks Inc., developed draft Objective Design Standards, held stakeholder and Planning Commission workshops to discuss such standards, and worked to solicit feedback from local developers. On February 25, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the Final Draft Objective Design Standards and recommended City Council approval.

12. FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 2022-0002 – THE JESSUP AT 17802 – 17842 IRVINE BOULEVARD A request for the first amendment to Development Agreement 2022-0002, an agreement between the City of Tustin and Tustin 40 Development LLC (Property Owner) for “The Jessup” residential project. The proposed amendment is a request to eliminate the Property Owner’s requirement to pay the Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program In-Lieu Fee (“In-Lieu Fee”). On July 9, 2024, the City of Tustin Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed request and adopted Resolution No. 4492, recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1544, approving the first amendment to Development Agreement 2022-0002. On September 17, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the Property Owner’s requested amendment to Development Agreement 2022-0002. The City Council’s motion failed due to a 2-2-1 vote (Attachment 3). The Property Owner is now requesting that the City Council reconsider the matter and adopt Ordinance 1564, approving first amendment to Development Agreement 2022-0002 (Attachment 4).
