Channel. The Planning Commission is authorized to determine whether the location,
purpose, and extent of the proposed conveyance are consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed overcrossing of Edinger Avenue, existing railroad tracks, and the Santa Ana
— Santa Fe Channel is associated with the extension of Tustin Ranch Road from its
present terminus at Walnut Avenue to Warner Avenue. The extension of Tustin Ranch
Road will improve traffic flow in the area and is a critical link to the Tustin Legacy
development at former Marine Corps Air Station — Tustin. The extension of Tustin Ranch
Road is identified in the County's Master Plan of Arterial Highways and in the Circulation
Element of the Tustin General Plan.
Therefore, the location, purpose, and extent of the proposed conveyance are in
conformance with the General Plan.
