Plan Description - City of Tustin

Chapter 4 • Specific Plan Administration
B. Purpose
An interim use contributes to the continued productivity of the land even
though it is not intended to be permanently part of the development
pattern. Some interim uses are a continuation of uses similar to existing
uses at the time of plan adoption and will eventually phase out. Others
may be established in the future to respond to certain site conditions (e.g.,
toxic clean up), offset operations and maintenance costs, capture
worthwhile market opportunities, or allow for an incremental transition to
a permanent use.
C. Requirements:
1. Authority - The City and Federal authority under which the
interim use operates must be documented as part of the approval
records (if different from or in addition to the general authority
contained in the Specific Plan).
2. Time Limit - Establishment of an interim use shall be
accompanied by a time limit (which may be extended) or a
description of the circumstances under which it is intended to be
replaced by a permanent use.
3. Clean Up - Adequate provisions shall be included in the approval
of any interim use so that the property will either be returned to
its original condition or that it will otherwise be discontinued in
such a way that there is no impediment to subsequent use of the
property in accordance with this Specific Plan.
4. Bonding - Sufficient bonding or security shall be in place to
assure that all obligations of maintenance and discontinuance of
the interim use can be met.
5. Existing Uses - Existing uses which are not identified as
permanent uses under this Specific Plan may continue until they
are replaced by a permanent use or superseded by approval of
another interim use. Existing interim uses shall be subject to
requirements of this Specific Plan and provisions of the Tustin
City Code or Irvine City Code, as applicable, regarding
protection of the public health, safety and welfare where not
superseded by the Federal Government. This may require
improvements not now in place on the part of interim uses as
surrounding uses develop.
