Taqueria Hoy (former Taco Bell building)
Tustin
Description
The applicant originally won approval in 2021 to demolish the old Taco Bell and build new, but pivoted for financial reasons to reuse the existing building — a legal nonconforming structure — with minor code-allowed changes and site rehabilitation. Now in plan check, with construction hoped for next year.
Impact summary
A long-vacant former Taco Bell corner gets a second life as a restaurant — though Chair Mason noted the building is currently in rough shape and wants the rehab done properly.
