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amendments to sections that lack clarity, are outdated, or do not reflect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.
Recommendation: That the City Council introduce and have a first
reading, by title only, of Ordinance No. 1574, amending various sections
of Article 9 (Land Use) of the Tustin City Code relating to the Streamline
Tustin program to provide clarity, consistency of terms and definitions,
implementation of select Housing Element programs, clarification of the
prohibition on short-term rentals, and minor technical and organizational
corrections. DRAFT ORDINANCE NO. 1574 AN ORDINANCE OF THE
