The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. That development of the 17-acre community park is considered a "project" pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act. B. An environmental checklist has been prepared for this project and attached hereto as Exhibit A. Based on the checklist; the project will not result in additional impacts previously considered in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the East Tustin Specific Plan, which serves as a Program EIR for the proposed project. II. The East Tustin Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (85-2), previously certified on March 17, 1986, as modified by subsequently adopted supplements and addenda in 1986 and 1989, was considered prior to approval of this project. The City Council finds that all effects of this project including impacts related to air quality, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, and noise were examined in the Program EIR. No additional significant environmental effects will occur from the project. All feasible mitigation measures in the Program EIR are .incorporated into this project and no new additional mitigation measures or alternatives are necessary. The Final EIR is therefore determined to be adequate to serve as a Program EIR for this project and satisfies all requirements of Section 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act. PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Tustin held on the 6th day of May, 2008.

The physical address of the project site is 2910 Portola Parkway and the site is also known as Assessor's Parcel Numbers 501-095-01, 08, 09, and 19. Surrounding uses are predominantly residential, occurring on all sides of the community park and directly across Portola Parkway, Tustin Ranch Road and Jamboree Road. A portion of the westerly side of the project site abuts the Tustin Ranch Golf Course while directly to the north of the site across Tustin Ranch Road is the Pioneer Middle School. Currently the site is zoned as Community Park (CP) within the East Tustin Specific Plan and designated as Planned Community Public/Institutional by the Tustin General Plan Land Use Map. Continued use of the project site as a community park is consistent with the current zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation. The project includes improvements of on-site parking, restroom facilities, picnic areas, trails, a scenic overlook, trellises, and playgrounds in an existing park. Existing landform features such as the naturally occurring knoll will be maintained and panoramic viewing decks will enable visitors to view the natural panorama. A large portion of the park will remain undisturbed for passive uses and many of the existing citrus trees will remain as well. The existing regional trail system along Portola Parkway has been integrated into the perimeter of the park to provide greater access. This project was considered and analyzed through a previously certified Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 85-2), as amended, prepared for the East Tustin Specific Plan. Section 15150 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines permits an EIR or other environmental document to incorporate by reference all or portions of another document containing information relevant to that EIR. Therefore, in referencing EIR 85-2, this Environmental Checklist hereby incorporates East Tustin Specific Plan EIR 85-2, City of Tustin, December 1985 (State Clearinghouse #85052217), as well as the Technical Appendices, Response to Comments, Supplement (November 15, 1986), and Addenda (May 1989). In conformance with Section 15162 and 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, the purpose of this Environmental Checklist is to determine whether the proposed project would cause or create any significant new environmental impacts that were not previously considered in the Program EIR. EIR 85-2 identified several impact categories where a Statement of Overriding Consideration was adopted by the City of Tustin for the entire East Tustin Specific Plan area. EIR 85-2 also identified several impact categories where impacts could be lessened to a level of insignificance with the imposition of mitigation measur s. This Environmental Checklist provides an evaluation of the proposed prc~j~L~~~~'~° ~ ~f~at impacts previously identified in EIR 85-2 have not been intensified and t at no new Exhibit A Citrus Ranch Park Page 2 project impacts that were not identified and/or mitigated in the Program EIR would occur. Mitigation measures identified in the EIR are incorporated herein. 1. AESTHETICS 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? Items (a - d) - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: The community park project site has been previously considered within the Program EIR. Implementation of the proposed project was a part of the East Tustin Specific Plan and the park use has no demonstrable negative aesthetic effect on the site. The project site is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. In fact, the project's improvements which include proposed amenities such as picnic areas, trails, a scenic overlook, trellises, playgrounds, and new trees will enhance the surrounding neighborhood and complement the existing citrus grove. The existing park landforms will not be altered and have been incorporated into the design so as not to disturb the visual character and quality of the site. The proposed lighting for the site would be contained mostly to the interior pathways of the park. There is minimal proposed lighting in the vicinity of the park edge that directly abuts residential properties. All lighting for the site is required to meet the City's minimum standards prescribed in the Security Ordinance, and direct light rays will be confined to the project site so as not to shine on adjacent properties or produce glare for street traffic. Additional impacts are not anticipated beyond those addressed in EIR 85-2. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations is not mitigation under CEQA. Consequently, no additional mitigation measures required.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES 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? Items a, b & c - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: The community park project site has been previously considered within the Program EIR. The project will involve improvements to an existing park site that is not used for agricultural purposes. As such the project would not convert prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance as shown on maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Managing and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency to non-agricultural use. Also, the property is not zoned for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract, nor does the proposed use involve other changes in the existing environment that could result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in EIR 85-2. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required. Sources: Preliminary Master Plan Tustin General Plan Field Observation Certified EIR 85-2, as amended 3. AIR QUALITY a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? 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 thre hod f r e precursors)? ~eso~ulson Rlo. 8~~~ Page 15 of 29 Exhibit A Citrus Ranch Park Page 4 d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Items ~a - e) - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: Air quality impacts associated with the development of the park were previously addressed in the certified EIR 85-2. The proposed improvements will not alter air movement, moisture, temperature or cause any changes in climate, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentration, or create objectionable odors. The proposed improvements will not conflict with the applicable air quality plan, violate the air quality standard, contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation, or 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. The project, however, would temporarily increase the amount of short-term emission to the area due to the grading of the property and construction activities. Short-term emissions associated with grading, construction, and operation of the proposed project are subject to regulation by the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the City of Tustin Grading Manual which includes requirements for dust control. No additional impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Program EIR. Mitigation measures were identified in EIR 85-2 which are incorporated herein. EIR 85-2 also identified several impact categories where a Statement of Overriding Consideration was adopted by the City of Tustin for the entire East Tustin Specific Plan area. Mitigation Measures/ Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 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? Resolution No. 08-24 Page 161m~ 2s Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, Exhibit A Citrus Ranch Park Page 5 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? Items (a - f) - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: EIR 85-2 found that implementation of the East Tustin Specific Plan would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered plant or animal species. The proposed Citrus Ranch Park will involve improvements that will promote passive park use and will maintain a large portion of the existing site. Wildlife species will not be displaced by the proposed project and there will be no threat to sensitive or special status species. The project will not cause a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in the local or regional plans, or by the State Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Wildlife Service. The project is not located on federally protected wetlands and the project will not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. In addition there will be no conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources and the project is not located within any habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the EIR 85-2. No additional impacts beyond those addressed in EIR 85-2 are anticipated. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required.

CULTURAL RESOURCES (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 of formal cemeteries? Items (a - d) - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: The subject site is within the East Tustin Specific Plan area, and EIR 85-2 identified impacts related to the development of East Tustin and potential negative effects to cultural resources. According to EIR 85-2, the proposed site is located outside identified archeological sites. However, the project site is within an area of moderate paleontologic resources, but no significant paleontological impacts are anticipated due to lack of identified fossil sites. No additional impacts would be created beyond those identified in EIR 85-2. Mitigation measure related to Cultural Resources identified in the EIR 85-2 is incorporated herein. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required.

GEOLOGY & SOILS a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: • 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? Resolution No. 08-24 Page 18 of 29 . Landslides? Exhibit A Citrus Ranch Park Page 7 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 (1994), 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? Items (a - e) - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: EIR 85-2 has concluded that on the basis of the geotechnical study for the property, the entire East Tustin Specific Plan area has been determined to have no unmanageable geotechnical constraints. The project site is not located within an area identified as a fault zone on the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map. The improvement to an existing park site would not expose people to strong seismic ground shaking, seismic-related ground failure, liquefaction, or landslides. The project would be required to comply with the City's grading manual, thus would not subject the project site to substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. The project is not 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 an on- or off- site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. The project would utilize an existing sewer system that is readily available, thus will not necessitate the use of septic tanks or altemative wastewater disposal systems. The result of an expansion index test for the project site indicated a medium expansion potential, as defined in Table 1804.2 of the 2007 California Building Code. EIR 85-2 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. With the submittal of a precise grading plan, soils report, and compliance with the City Grading requirements and the California Building Code as identified as mitigation measures in EIR 85-2, no additional impacts beyond those previously identified in the Program EIR are anticipated.

Exhibit A Citrus Ranch Park Page 15 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? fl Result in inadequate parking capacity? g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? Items a b c d, e & f - No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis: Potential traffic and circulation impacts associated with the development of East Tustin, including the project park site, were previously addressed in EIR 85-2, as amended. The surrounding roads have been designed to accommodate peak traffic demands of East Tustin. Therefore, the proposed project would not have a substantial impact upon the level of service of the existing transportation systems, nor would it impact the present pattern of circulation or movement of people and/or goods. The project will not necessitate the construction of new roads and will not have a substantial impact on existing traffic loads or street capacity. New parking facilities will be provided to accommodate the expected increase in use of the park (presently there are no parking areas existing at the site). Proposed improvements to the park will provide approximately 98 parking spaces with six (6) of those being disabled accessible spaces. Vehicular access to the site will be located off Portola Parkway. The proposed project will also encourage the use of alternate modes of transportation such as walking and bike riding by providing a trail link to the regional trail system. EIR 85-2 identified several impact categories including transportation/traffic impacts where a Statement of Overriding Consideration was adopted by the City of Tustin for the entire East Tustin Specific Plan area. No additional impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Program EIR. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required.
