Council approves template for small lot development MEGAN SMITH Daily Titan
In an effort to streamline the process of residential development, the Fullerton City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday night to approve new zoning that gives developers a template for small sites. The new plan, Planned Residential Development, applies to infill — sites that are surrounded by developed properties — that is less than 40 acres and gives direction on the types of buildings developers can build. The zoning also applies to sites on the edge of Fullerton. Mayor Jennifer Fitzgerald said it’s helpful for developers and property owners to have a basic direction when they begin drawing up a plan. “It is very inefficient for a developer to come in with a specific plan and then start the community outreach process and see if that might work,” Fitzgerald said.

Dancers will spring to the stage for final production KATE JOLGREN Daily Titan
With a couple of weeks left in the semester Cal State Fullerton’s Department of Theatre and Dance presents its bi-annual, nationally acclaimed event, “Spring Dance Theatre.” The event is coordinated by CSUF dance professor
Gladys Kares and is meant to showcase original choreography by students, faculty and guest artists who were selected through auditions. The program will consist of nine original pieces featuring a variety of dance styles, including jazz/rhythm tap,
modern and contemporary. In this semester’s showcase, there are four student works, five faculty works and a premier of a new work by College of the Arts Dean Dave Merrill, titled “At Last,” which will be performed to music by Etta James.
While the event does not have an overall theme, many of the works are based on specific ideas, with some inspired by particular quotes from which choreographers stem their movement. SEE SPRING

Local boutiques create an eccentric oasis for buyers
Fullerton shops offer an alternative retail experience IMAN LATHAN Daily Titan
Among the endless row of brightly lit trees and lively bars in downtown Fullerton is a diverse selection of exceptional thrift stores and storefront boutiques that offer locals an alternative to the shopping mall. Stores such as Beatnic, Stitch and Feather, Wander Outfitters, Buffalo Exchange and Memo’s Vintage Clothing all personify the great shopping opportunities downtown — which prides itself in its uniqueness — has to offer. Beatnic is a destination boutique dedicated to exclusivity and rare, selective brands, said Gary Matthews, store manager. The shop carries limited-edition merchandise of common brand names such as Nike, Adidas and Vans; however, its harder-to-find merchandise like Aape,
Stussy and Raised By Wolves draws people into the boutique. The store has a selection of apparel and footwear that stores in the mall will not have in stock, coinciding with Beatnic’s mission of providing customers with streetwear, shoes and the latest apparel in fashion, Matthews said. “Considering the fact that we are one of the very few (streetwear) boutiques in OC, it makes us that much more exclusive,” Matthews said. Stitch and Feather is a women’s clothing store on the corner of Wilshire Avenue and Harbor Boulevard that keeps up with current women’s apparel and shoes trends. Upon entering the boutique, the ambiance resembles Urban Outfitters’ quirky home-decor vibe, but with cheaper price tags. Dedicated to exceptional customer service, the store has rave reviews on Yelp about its customer service and uniqueness. SEE TRENDS
