On the basis of this initial evaluation:
^ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
^ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
^ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
^ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one
effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and
2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact' or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated."
An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
® I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects 1) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project.
^ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
CONCEPT PLAN 06-001
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 17144
NEIGHBORHOOD E OF MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN
PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
A Final Joint Environmental Impact StatemenUEnvironmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the
Disposal and Reuse of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program for the EISBIR was prepared by the City of Tustin and the Department of the
Navy (DoN) in accordance with the California Environmental .Quality Act (CEQA) and the
National Environmental Policy (NEPA). The FEIS/EIR analyzed the environmental consequences
of the Navy disposal and local community reuse of the MCAS Tustin site per the Reuse Plan and
the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan. The CEQA analysis also analyzed the environmental
impacts of certain "Implementation Actions" that the City of Tustin and City of Irvine must take to
implement the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan. The FEIS/EIR and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program were adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. The DoN
published its Record of Decision (ROD) on March 3, 2001. On April 3, 2006, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR.
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the FEIS/EIR and Addendum analyzed amulti-year
development period for the planned urban reuse project. When individual activities with the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan are proposed, the agency is required to examine individual activities to
determine if their effects were fully analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. The agency can
approve the activities as being within the scope of the project covered by the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum if the agency finds that pursuant to Sections 15162, 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA
Guidelines no new effects would occur, nor would a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects occur, then no supplemental or subsequent environmental
document is required. For the proposed Concept Plan 06-001 and Tentative Tract Map 17144
project, the City prepared a comprehensive Environmental Checklist and the analysis is provided
below to determine if the project is within the scope of the FEIS/EIR and Addendum and if new
effects would occur as a result of the project.
PROJECT LOCATION
The Property is within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan also known as Tustin Legacy. Concept
Plan (CP) 06-001 and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 17144 consists of approximately 1,267,324
square feet of land at Tustin Legacy and is located within Neighborhood E of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan (Planning Area 9-12).
Tustin Legacy is that portion of the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin within the
City of Tustin corporate boundaries. Owned and operated by the Navy and. Marine Corps for
nearly 60 years, approximately 1,585 gross acres of property at MCAS Tustin were determined
surplus to federalgovernment needs and was officially closed in July 1999. The majority of the
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 2
former MCAS Tustin lies within the southern portion of the City of Tustin. The remaining
approximately 73 acres lies within the City of Irvine.
Tustin Legacy is also located in central Orange County and approximately 40 miles southeast of
downtown Los Angeles. Tustin Legacy is in close proximity to four major freeways: the Costa
Mesa (SR-55), Santa Ana (I-5), Laguna (SR-133) and San Diego (I-405). Tustin Legacy is also
served by the west leg of the Eastern Transportation Corridor (SR 261). The major roadways
bordering Tustin Legacy include Red Hill Avenue on the west, Edinger Avenue and Irvine
Center Drive on the north, Harvard Avenue on the east, and Barranca Parkway on the south.
Jamboree Road transects the Property. John Wayne Airport is located approximately three miles
to the south and a Metrolink Commuter Rail Station is located immediately to the north
providing daily passenger service to employment centers in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and
San Diego counties.
PRESENT CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY
Historically, the Property was used as a Marine Corps helicopter training facility. Currently, the
actual footprint of the Property is largely undeveloped land that was previously used for interim
agricultural out-leasing by the Marines and also improved with landing strips and tarmac areas.
Permits for demolition of abandoned buildings on the Property have been issued and existing
facilities are in the process of being removed, with obsolete infrastructure also programmed for
removal. The City has nearly completed a Phase I roadway project, the Valencia/Armstrong
project, which included some demolition of tarmac areas, landing strips, and demolition of some
obsolete utilities. The Valencia/Armstrong project also included the installation of water and
sewer Backbone Infrastructure on a portion of the Property and interim storm drain retention
facilities. Interim earth work and mass grading of the Property by the Developer has
commenced.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
The project evaluated in this environmental review includes two components described further in
sections below:
• Concept Plan 06-001
• Tentative Tract Map 17144
Concert Plan 06-001
Background
Pursuant to Section 4.2.2 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, a concept plan shall be prepared
and submitted for Zoning Administrator Approval concurrent with a new development proposal,
reuse project, or Sector B level map.
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 3
The purpose of the concept plan is to document and ensure that:
1. The necessary linkages are provided between the development project and the Planning
Area/Neighborhood in which it is located;
2. The integrity of the Specific Plan and purpose and intent of each Neighborhood is
maintained; and
3. Applicable consideration of City requirements other than those spelled out in the Specific
Plan are identified and satisfied.
Description of the Concept Plan
The Concept Plan for Neighborhood E of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan includes Planning
Areas 9-12. The following are components of the Concept Plan:
• Land Use (development uses and parks/open spaces)
• Circulation
• Design Guidelines
• Landscape Elements
• Infrastructure
The Land Use component of Neighborhood E includes a total of 1,267,324 square feet of non-
residential uses and encompasses Phases 1 and 2 of Neighborhood E. Phase 1 includes a total of
318,600 square feet of general office uses and 287,000 square feet of R&D Flex/Light Industrial
uses. Phase 2 includes 319,675 square feet of general office uses; 93,920 square feet of R&D
Flex/Light Industrial use; 229,997 square feet of office park use; and, 18,132 square feet of
neighborhood commercial (mixed) use.
A total of 38.6 acres of open space is also included and is to contain the following types of open
space:
• Linear Park (private)
• Focal Park (private)
• Red Hill and Edge Open Space (private)
• Detention Basin/Sports fields (public)
The Circulation component provides conceptual improvement plans for the proposed
infrastructure (streets, utilities, transportation planning, and traffic and circulation analysis) to
support the proposed Concept Plan.
The Design Guidelines provide in-depth details and conceptual design elements such as visual
character, planning, architecture, landscape, and hardscape.
The Landscape Elements component provides conceptual landscape plans for open space areas,
streetscapes, multi-use trail system, signage, decorative walls, park furnishings and lightings, and
bridge design.

The Infrastructure component identifies backbone infrastructure based upon the master roadway
network and Local Infrastructure system. This infrastructure component includes conceptual
plans for domestic water, well sites, reclaimed water, sewer, and storm drainage and water
quality.
Tentative Tract Map 17144
Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 17144 is a proposal to subdivide a 131-acre site into 12 numbered
lots and 28 lettered lots for the purpose of development of commercial business, open space,
public streets, and flood control facilities. TTM 17144 is a Sector B Map which is a subdivision
map that divides a larger parcel into additional parcels (development units) that will facilitate
conveyance of the property by a master developer to vertical merchant builders or other parties.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist.
I. AESTHETICS -Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect
day or nighttime views in the area?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not directly cause aesthetic impacts. Development activities proposed by
the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously considered within the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no demonstrable
negative aesthetic effect on the site.
There are no designated scenic vistas in the project area; therefore, the proposed Concept
Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
vista. Although the project site is not located within the vicinity of a designated state
scenic highway, the FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that the loss of both historic
blimp hangars would be a significant visual impact, the loss of only one hangar would be
less than significant. The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not
change the conclusions of the analysis from the FEIS/EIR and Addendum relative to these
visual changes since the status of the hangars would not be affected by the proposed
Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map.
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 5
No changes in original uses identified or permitted in the Specific Plan are being
requested; therefore, the types of uses to be developed are consistent and would result in
similar visual changes as those previously analyzed. All implementation of activities and
development at the project site could be subject to subsequent environmental review under
CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The mitigation measures applicable to the project have
been implemented with adoption.of original Specific Plan. No refinements need to be made
to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

Tustin General Plan
II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - In determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in
assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not directly cause Agricultural impacts. The project site was leased as
interim agriculture sites. All agricultural activities on the site and Navy out leases were
terminated in phases by the Navy prior to the closure of MCAS Tustin in July, 1999.
Development activities proposed by the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously
considered within the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been
found to have no new effects, nor would a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects occur as a result of the proposed project.
The physical impact area for the proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map is the
same as that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Implementation of the proposed
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 6
project would continue to impact areas mapped (though not used) as Prime Farmland.
Designated Farmland of Statewide Importance within the Specific Plan area is outside of
the Master Developer footprint and is located north of Barranca Parkway, west of Harvard
Avenue, and east of Jamboree Boulevard. Additionally, there are no areas subject to a
Williamson Act contract, and conservation of farmland in this area was deemed
unwarranted by NCRS. Implementation of the proposed project would not change the
impact conclusions presented in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. The loss of Prime
Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance would remain a significant and
unavoidable impact. The mitigation options previously identified in the FEIS/EIR are still
infeasible and would be ineffective to reduce the localized adverse effects associated with
the loss of mapped/designated farmland.
There are no new feasible mitigation measures that could be implemented that would
reduce the significant unavoidable impact associated with the conversion of Farmland to
urban uses. Mitigation options identified in the FEIS/EIR determined to be infeasible are
still infeasible and ineffective to reduce impacts to a level considered less than significant.
There would not be a substantial increase in the severity ofproject-specific and cumulative
impacts to agricultural resources beyond that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum;
however, these impacts would continue to be significant unavoidable impacts of the
proposed project. The Tustin City Council adopted a Statement of .Overriding
Considerations for the FEIS/EIR on January 16, 2001.
All implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required.• In certifying the FEIS/EIR, the Tustin City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and Statement in Overriding Consideration concluding that
impacts to agricultural resources were unavoidable (Resolution No. 00-90). No mitigation

III. AIR QUALITY -Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 7
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
C) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not directly cause Air Quality impacts. Development activities proposed by
the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously considered within the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no new effects,
nor would a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects
occur as a result of the proposed project.
Consistent with the conclusion reached in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, the proposed
project would result in significant short-term construction air quality impacts. Because the
proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map only involve a conceptual design
development and subdivision of land within the threshold of the Specific Plan and the
previously approved FEIS/EIR and its Addendum, the project would not substantially
increase the type or severity of construction related air quality impacts from those identified
in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001, to address significant unavoidable short-term, long-term, and
cumulative air quality impacts.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for operational and
construction activities. However, the FEIS/EIR and Addendum also concluded that the
Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant and could not be fully
mitigated. A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the
Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001 (Resolution No. 00-90). No new mitigation
measure is required.

IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES -Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or
by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal
pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or
other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state
habitat conservation plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The physical impacts resulting from
development uses proposed with the Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would be
similar to those identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Specifically, impacts to on-site
vegetation and loss of habitat for the loggerhead shrike, a CDFG species of special concern,
would be less than significant. It would be noted that project construction activities would
be completed in compliance with federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA). The
MBTA governs the taking and killing of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests.
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 9
plant or animal species; however, the FEIS/EIR and Addendum determined that
implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (including the proposed
project site) could impact jurisdictional waters/wetlands and the southwestern pond turtle,
which is identified as a "species of special concern" by the California Department of Fish
and Game (CDFG), or have an impact on jurisdictional waters/wetlands. Mitigation
measures were included in the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR to require the relocation of the
turtles and establishment of an alternative ofF site habitat, and to require the applicant to
obtain Section 404, Section 1601, and other permits as necessary for areas on the project
site affecting jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or vegetated wetlands. The Master
Developer has obtained these permits and is subject to conditions listed in the respective
permits.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project or as conditions of approval for the project.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES -Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as
defined in §15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal cemeteries?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not directly cause impacts to cultural resources. Development activities
proposed by the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously considered within the
Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. Numerous archaeological surveys
have been conducted at the former MCAS Tustin site. In 1988, the State Office of Historic
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 10
Preservation (SHPO) provided written concurrence that all open spaces on MCAS Tustin
had been adequately surveyed for archaeological resources. Although one archaeological
site (CA-ORA-381) has been recorded within the Reuse Plan area, it is believed to have
been destroyed. It is possible that previously unidentified buried archaeological or
paleontological resources within the project site could be significantly impacted by grading
and construction activities. With the inclusion of mitigation measures identified in the
MCAS Tustin FEIS/E1R that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to cultural
resources can be reduced to a level of insignificance.
There is no new technology or methods available to reduce the identified significant
unavoidable project-specific and cumulative impacts to historical resources associated with
the removal of Hangars 28 and 29 to a level considered less than significant. Although
these unavoidable project-specific and cumulative impacts would not occur with
implementation of the proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map (affects
Neighborhood E only), the future development of the Master development footprint could
present impacts to these resources. A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the
FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January I6, 2001, to address potential
significant unavoidable impacts to historical resources resulting from the removal of both
blimp hangars. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed
in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
All implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program
for the project or as conditions of approval for the project. No refinements need to be made
to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS -Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the
risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 11
• Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the State Geologist
for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer
to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
• Strong seismic ground shaking?
• Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
• Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building
Code (2001), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not cause any direct impact to geology or soil. Development activities
proposed by the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously considered within the
Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no
demonstrable negative geology or soil effect on the site. The FEIS/EIR and Addendum
indicate that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of the Reuse Plan
and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan would include non-seismic hazards (such as local
settlement, regional subsidence, expansive soils, slope instability, erosion, and mudflows)
and seismic hazards (such as surface fault displacement, high-intensity ground shaking,
ground failure and lurching, seismically induced settlement, and flooding associated with
dam failure. However, the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum concluded that
compliance with state and local regulations and standards, along with established
engineering procedures and techniques, would avoid unacceptable risk or the creation of
significant impacts related to such hazards. No substantial change is expected for
development of the project from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
All implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
avoid the creation of potential impacts. No new mitigation is required.

VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS -Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonable
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it
create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public use airport,
would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the
project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or
where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not involve the creation of a hazard or hazardous materials. Development
activities proposed by the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. The proposed Concept Plan and
Tentative Tract Map would result generally in the same types of land uses being developed
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 13
within the project area. As identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, these uses would
generate and use small amounts of hazardous materials for operation and maintenance
activities.
The FEIS/EIR and its Addendum include a detailed discussion of the historic and then-
current hazardous material use and hazardous waste generation within the Specific Plan
area. The DoN is responsible for planning and executing environmental restoration
programs in response to releases of hazardous substances for MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR
and Addendum concluded that the implementation of the Specific Plan would not have a
significant environmental impact from the hazardous wastes, substances, and materials on
the property during construction or operation since the DoN would implement various
remedial actions pursuant to the Compliance Programs that would remove, manage, or
isolate potentially hazardous substances in soils and groundwater.
As identified in the FEIS/EIR and the Addendum, the project site is within the boundaries of
the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) and is subject to height restrictions. The
proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map do not propose changes to height limitation
included in the Specific Plan, nor do they pose anaircraft-related safety hazard for future
residents or workers. The project site is not located in a wildland fire danger area.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Implementation of activities and development at the
project site could be subject to subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be
required by law. No new or modified mitigation is required for the project.

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY -Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge, such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume
or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of
pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing
land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which
would result in flooding on- or off-site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially
increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in
flooding on- or off-site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources
of polluted runoff?
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood
hazard Boundary of Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard
delineation map?
h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or
redirect flood flows?
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map will not cause direct impact to hydrology and water quality. Development
activities proposed by the TLCP and City of Tustin have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no
demonstrable negative hydrology and water quality effect on the site. The project site is
located within the Barranca Channel Master Drainage Area. A master drainage hydrology
study (San Diego Creek Flood Control Master Plan, Barranca Channel Update, dated
September 28, 2007) was prepared and approved by the Orange County Flood Control
District (OCFD). The study identifies a detention basin to be located within Lot H of
Tentative Tract Map 17144. The detention basin has been included in TTM 17144.
As concluded in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, preparation of a WQMP in compliance with
all applicable regulatory standards would reduce water quality impacts from the
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 15
development activities to a level of insignificance. Implementation of the proposed
Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not result in new or substantially more severe
impacts to water quality than what was previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum. The types of land uses proposed are substantially the same, with minor square
footage distribution among planning areas. The amount of impervious surface proposed for
construction would not change substantially; therefore, analysis and conclusions in the
FEIS/EIR and Addendum relative to impacts related to groundwater supply, groundwater
levels, or local recharge have not changed substantially. In addition, no change to the
backbone drainage system is proposed; therefore, no new or more severe impacts related to
drainage patters, drainage facilities, and potential flooding would result from the
implementation of the Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required.• Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
reduce any potential impacts related to water quality and groundwater to a level of
insignificance and no mitigation is required. Measures related to hydrology and drainage
were adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS
Tustin and Addendum; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program
for the project or as conditions of approval for the project.

IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING -Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency
with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited, to the general plan,
specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the
purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The project being evaluated involves an
amendment to the Original DDA, a new Development Agreement, and modifications to
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 16
parking standards. The proposed project would not alter the land uses proposed for
development or the location of the land uses in relation to communities within the Specific
Plan area, rather minor adjustments to development phases are proposed. The project site
area is surrounded by existing development and development on-site would not physically
divide an established community. Although the project only involves conceptual
development proposal, the implementation of this Concept Plan would result in the
continuation of similar uses.
Also, the proposed project will not conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan. Implementation of activities and development at the project
site could be subject to subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required
by law. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEISBIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable land use impacts. The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map do not increase the severity of the land use impacts previously identified in the
FEIS/EIR and Addendum; therefore, no refinements needed to be made to the FEIS/EIR
mitigation and no new mitigation measures are required.

X. MINERAL RESOURCES -Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a
value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery
site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The FEIS/EIR and Addendum indicated
that no mineral resources are known to occur anywhere within the Specific Plan area. The
proposed project will not result in the loss of mineral resources known to be on the site or
identified as being present on the site by any mineral resource plans. Consequently, no
substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XI. NOISE -Would the project:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards
of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels?
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,
would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose
people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map would slightly modify the land use distribution (redistribution among non-
residential areas and square footages) within the Specific Plan which would result in a slight
redistribution of the traffic generated by the implementation of the project. However, the
backbone circulation system identified for the implementation of the project is substantially
the same or less than Average Daily Trips as that presented in the original DDA and
Specific Plan. Consequently, the severity of the long-term traffic related noise impacts
would not be increased more than previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
With respect to the short-term noise impacts, implementation of the Concept Plan and
Tentative Tract Map would be required to comply with adopted mitigation measures and
state and local regulations and standards, along with established engineering procedures
and techniques, thus avoiding significant short-term construction-related noise impacts.
As discussed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, John Wayne Airport is located southwest of
the project site. Based on review of the Airport Land Use Plan for John Wayne, the project
site is not located within the 60 CNEL contour for airport operations. The proposed
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 18
Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not involve the development of any uses that
would expose people to excessive noise related to aircraft operations.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required.• The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that with
implementation of identified mitigation measures, there would be no impacts related to
noise. The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map do not increase the severity of
the noise impacts previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum; therefore, no
refinements need to be made to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation
measures would be required.

XIL POPULATION & HOUSING - Woiuld the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative
Tract Map provide a similar amount and type of commerciaUbusiness uses as that included
in the Specific Plan. No new housing, removal of existing housing, or displacement of any
people to necessitate construction of additional housing are proposed with the Concept Plan
and Tentative Tract Map consistent with the approved Specific Plan and previously
approved FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Similar to the conclusions reached in the FEIS/EIR,
the proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not have an adverse effect on
population and housing.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Because no significant impacts were identified, no
mitigation was included in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum related to population housing. The
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with
the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new
or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could
cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service
ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public
services:
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin requires developers of the site to contribute
to the creation of public services such as fire and police protection services, schools,
libraries, recreation facilities, and biking/hiking trails; however, new facilities will be
provided within the Master Developer footprint to which the applicant will contribute a fair
share.
Fire Protection. The proposed project will be required to meet existing Orange County
Fire Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding construction materials and methods,
emergency access, water mains, fire flow, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems, building
setbacks, and other relevant regulations. Adherence to these regulations would reduce
the risk of uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire protection
services to the site. The number of existing fire stations in the areas surrounding the site
and a future fire station proposed at Edinger Avenue and the West Connector Road will
meet the demands created by the proposed project.
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population estimates, square footage ofnon-residential uses, etc. Implementation of
the Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not increase the need for police protection
services in addition to what was anticipated in the FEIS/EIlZ and Addendum. The developer
as a condition of approval for the project would be required to work with the Tustin Police
Department to ensure that adequate security precautions are implemented in the project at
plan check.
Schools.
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 20
The impacts to schools resulting from the implementation of the proposed Concept Plan
and Tentative Tract Map would be similar to that identified in the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum. Consistent with SB 50, the City of Tustin has adopted implementation
measures that require the Master Developer to pay applicable school fees to the TUSD,
NSD, and SAUSD to mitigate indirect and direct student generation impacts prior to the
issuance of building permits (Neighborhood E is located within the SAUSD boundary).
The payment of school mitigation impact fees authorized by SB 50 is deemed to provide
"full and complete mitigation of impacts" from the development of real property on
school facilities (Government Code 65995). SB 50 provides that a state or local agency
may not deny or refuse to approve the planning, use, or development of real property on
the basis of a developer's refusal to provide mitigation in amounts in excess of that
established by SB 50.
Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Since certification of the FEIS/EIR, the Orange County
Library (OCPL) entered into an agreement with the City of Tustin for the expansion of the
Tustin Branch library. The expansion of the library is a capital improvement of a public
facility that will directly benefit development activities within the Specific Plan area.
Developers within the Specific Plan area are required to make a fair share contribution to a
portion of the development costs of the library expansion.
To support development in the reuse plan area, the Reuse Plan/Specific Plan requires public
services and facilities to be provided concurrent with demand. The FEIS/EIR and
Addendum concluded that public facilities would be provided according to a phasing plan to
meet projected needs as development of the site proceeded. The proposed Concept Plan and
Tentative Tract Map would not increase the demand more than what was already analyzed
in the previously approved FEIS/EIR and Addendum; therefore, no substantial change is
expected.
MitigationlMonitoring Required.• The FEISBIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable impacts related to public services. The proposed Concept
Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of
impacts to public services beyond that identified in the FEIS/EIlZ and Addendum.
Therefore no new mitigation measures are required.

Page 21
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks
or other recreational facilities, such that substantial physical deterioration of the
facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?
Impacts associated with recreation facilities were analyzed and addressed in the FEIS/EIR
and Addendum. The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would include a
relocation of the sports park to Lot 9 of TTM 17144 (southeast of the extension of Carnegie
and the linear park). The acreage of open space areas remain consistent with the Specific
Plan; thus the proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not result in new or
substantially more severe impacts related to recreation services compared to conclusions of
the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required.• The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable impacts related to recreation facilities. Additionally, the
proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map would not result in a substantial increase in
the severity of impacts to recreation facilities beyond that identified in the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum. Therefore no new mitigation measures are required.

XV. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC -Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic
load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either
the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads
or highways?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
CP 06-001 and TTM 17144
Page 22
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic
levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
t) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that traffic impacts could occur as a result of build
out of the Specific Plan. The FEIS/EIR concluded that there could be significant impacts at
18 arterial intersections (see Table 4.12-6 of the FEIS/EIR for a complete list) and the levels
of service (LOS) at two intersections would improve compared to the no-project condition.
The trip generation resulting from implementation of the original Specific Plan and
Addendum would create an overall Average Daily Trip (ADT) generation of 216,440 trips.
The original Specific Plan also established a trip budget tracking system for each
neighborhood to analyze and control the amount and intensity of non-residential
development by neighborhood. The tracking system ensures that sufficient ADT capacity
exists to serve the development and remainder of the neighborhood. The proposed Concept
Plan and Tentative Tract Map would result in a reduction in daily trip generation of 14
percent than the trip budget analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
No Significant changes to on-site circulation would occur with the proposed project. Austin
Foust Associates, Inc. has prepared the Legacy Park of Tustin Legacy, Neighborhood E
Internal Circulation Analysis -July 2007 (Exhibit A) to identify and evaluate how the traffic
impacts from the proposed project differ from the analysis presented in the approved Tustin
Legacy Park traffic analysis (March 6, 2007, Legacy Park of Tustin Legacy Traffic
Analysis, Austin Foust Associates, Inc), FEIS/EIR, and Addendum. The study has shown
that the proposed Concept Plan, Tentative Map, and arterial circulation changes within the
Neighborhood E have not resulted in new significant impacts that would require mitigation.
The proposed on-site circulation system is found to provide adequate capacity in accordance
with the performance criteria applied to the project. The City's Traffic Engineer also has
reviewed the analysis and concurs with the conclusion the revised analysis.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe impacts
would result from implementation of the Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Maps than were
originally considered by the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Therefore, no new or revised
mitigation measures are required.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS -Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water
Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects?
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing
entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or
may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's
projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste?
The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map will not directly cause impacts to
utilities and service systems. Development activities proposed by the TLCP and City of
Tustin have been previously considered within the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin
and Addendum. The FEIS/EIR and Addendum analyzed new off-site and on-site backbone
utility systems required for development of the site as necessary to support the proposed
development, including water, sewer, drainage, electricity, natural gas, telephone, cable
television, and solid waste management. In accordance with the FEIS/EIR and Addendum,
the applicant is required to pay a fair share towards ofF site infrastructure and installation of
on-site facilities. In addition, development of the site is required to meet federal, state, and
local standards for design of waste water treatment, drainage system for on-site and off-site,
and water availability. As concluded in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, no unavoidable
significant impacts would result. The proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map
would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts than what was evaluated in the
FEIS/EIR and Addendum.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects
of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum previously considered all environmental impacts
associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
and the proposed Concept Plan and Tentative Tract Map. With the enforcement of the
FEIS/EIR and Addendum mitigation and implementation measures approved by the
Tustin City Council in the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project or as
conditions of approval, the proposed project would not cause unmitigated environmental
effects that will cause substantial effects on human beings either directly or indirectly
nor degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitats or wildlife
populations to decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. To address
cumulative impacts, a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was
adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001 (Resolution No. 00-90) for
issues relating to aesthetics, cultural and paleontological resources, agricultural

CONCLUSION
The proposed project's effects were previously examined in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS
Tustin and Addendum. No new effects will occur, no substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects will occur, no new mitigation measures will be
required, no applicable mitigation measures previously not found to be feasible would in
fact be feasible, and no new mitigation measures or alternatives applicable to the project
that have not been considered are needed to substantially reduce effects of the project.
Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to
subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
