CUP No. 2025-11 – Dutch Bros (1819 N. Tustin Avenue) <br />April 28, 2025 <br />Page 7 <br />4 <br />9 <br />5 <br />2 <br />in order to facilitate additional development, and promote a balance of community <br />benefits. Consistent with these goals the redevelopment of site to develop with a new pad <br />building that would be occupied by an eating establishment would create a more business <br />friendly environment along Tustin Avenue as it would deter any illicit activity and <br />encourage business operations at neighboring properties and other remaining <br />undeveloped properties in the corridor. Additionally, it would provide services to the <br />community and additional food service options through the drive-through in a manner that <br />is not anticipated to create on-site or off-site impacts to customers or the community <br />through careful site planning and operation practices. <br />Public Notification and Community Outreach <br />Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State <br />regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, <br />and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 11. The site is not located within a designated <br />neighborhood, but is adjacent to the Meredith Parkwood Neighborhood, on the west side <br />of Tustin Avenue. Being within the 1,000-foot radius, the Meredith Parkwood <br />Neighborhood Association was notified. At the time this report was printed, no additional <br />issues of concern were raised. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the <br />project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines <br />(Class 3 – New Construction). Class 3 exemptions consist of construction and location of <br />limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures, which includes commercial buildings <br />such as a restaurant use not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area. In urbanized areas, <br />the exemption also applies to up to four commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square <br />feet on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous <br />substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the <br />surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The project proposes to establish an eating <br />establishment within a new 1,025-square-foot commercial building with double drive-through <br />lanes in an urbanized area. The proposed size of the project is less than 2,500 square feet, <br />does not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, and the surrounding <br />area is not environmentally sensitive. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review <br />No. 2024-36, will be filed for this project <br />ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACTS <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBITS <br />1.
