7. CODE STREAMLINING AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The goal of Streamline Tustin is to evaluate the City's land use code and propose amendments to sections that lack clarity, are outdated, or do not reflect current regulations or adopted policy. The proposed Code Amendment 2025-0002 is a City initiated request to amend Tustin City Code Article 9 (Land Use) as part of the Community Development Department's ongoing code streamlining and improvement program. Specifically, Code Amendment 2025-0002 does the following: * Updates select provisions related to Housing Element implementation programs; * Clarifies and codifies the City's prohibition on short-term rentals; and * Includes minor technical and organizational corrections. On January 27, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4538 (Attachment E), recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1574 approving CA 2025-0002. The Planning Commission staff report is provided as Attachment D for reference.
