Previous Environmental Documentation:
A Negative Declaration for the development of Jamboree Plaza was certified and adopted by the Tustin
City Council on June 3, 1991 through Resolution No. 91-75. Said Negative Declaration evaluated the
environmental impacts associated with Zone Change 90-01, Tentative Parcel Map 90-292, Tentative Parcel
Map 90-293, and Design Review 90-40 which were also approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council. This project implemented the Planned Community District Regulations for Jamboree Plaza as
well as approved the initial project design and subdivision.
On November 3, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-108 certifying a Tiered Negative
Declaration to amend the existing Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District Regulations and adjust the
project boundaries. Associated with this project were approvals for Zone Change 97-002, Tentative Parcel
Map 97-O16, and Design Review 97-016 for the further development of individual building sites and
additional uses within Jamboree Plaza.
On December I, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-111 certifying the Negative Declaration
for Zone Change 97-004 to allow for self-service carwashes within Jamboree Plaza. T'he Planned
Community District Regulations for Jamboree Plaza previously allowed full service carwashes as petmitted~
uses and this zone change amended the text to also allow self-service carwashes as permitted uses.

PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is located within the Planned Community Industrial (PC 1ND) zoning district and
designated as Planned Community CommerciaUBusiness by the General Plan. The project site is
within Jamboree Plaza and subject to the Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District Regulations.
Jamboree Plaza is a triangle shaped commerciallindustrial center of approximately 17.5 acres in
size and is bounded by Jamboree Road to the east, Edinger Avenue to the south and west, and the
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) railway to the north. The Tustin Metrolink
Commuter Station lies along the northern portion of Jamboree Plaza along the railway. Access
to the Tustin Metrolink Station is provided through Jamboree Plaza.
Jamboree Plaza consists of tour separate. land use areas that allow for various commerciaU
industrial activities some of which include: retail, commercial, otTice, automotive services,
warehousing, and light industrial uses. There is a total authorized building square footage of
163,200 square feet for Jamboree Plaza and the center is built out.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
'i'he project applicant, Tustin Field Gas & Food, Inc., is proposing to add an express self-service
carwash to an existing gas station/mini-mart. The applicant is also requesting to upgrade their
existing Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License. The project will involve the following
entitlements:
• Code Amendment 09-003 -The proposed caiwash does not meet the minimum building
setbacks as identified in the Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District Regulations. The
applicant has requested a code amendment to reduce the required building setback from
Edinger Avenue from thirty (30) feet to fifteen (15) feet.
• Design Review 09-004 -The proposed carwash requires design review to evaluate the
aesthetic impacts and site planning.
• Conditional Use Permit 09-004 - A request to upgrade an existing ABC License requires
approval of an amendment to the existing conditional use permit which allows for ofF site
alcohol sates.
Existing on the subject property is a 76 gasoline service station which provides twelve (12) Fueling
positions. Also existing on site is a 1,95 square foot food mart which includes a combined Circle
I ~ valuation of Environmental Impacts
C~~ U9-U03, CUP 09-U04, DR 09-004
I'a~e 2
K store as well as a Subway sandwich shop. The site is located on the southeast comer of the
5ibmaled intersection of Edinger Avenue and the private Jamboree Plaza Drive.
The proposed carwash would be located along the westerly elevation of the existing food mart
building adjacent to Edinger Avemte. The car wash would occupy as existing drive-through lane
that has been abandoned. A minimum building setback of thirty (30) feet from Edinger Avenue is
required per the Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District Regulations. Currently the existing
building is set back thirty-one (3I) feet from Edinger Avenue and the proposed carwash would be
set back fifteen (1 S) feet from Edinger Avenue. Therefore the applic~rtt has requested Code
Amendment U9-003 to reduce the minimum building setback from Edinger Avenue to 15 feet.
Placement of the proposed carwash would almost exactly overlay the existing abandoned drive-
through lane. Approximate dimensions of the proposed earwash tunnel are 17 feet by 75 feet with
the length of the tunnel matching up to the length of the existing building on that elevation. The
height of the proposed tunnel at 17 and a half feet would be lower than the existing building height
of 21 feet and tower element height of 28 feet. Minimal landscaping would need to be removed in
the planter area behind the sidewallc as a result of the car wash tunnel. The design of the tunnel
would mimic the Tustin blimp hangers which are located just across Edinger Avenue within Tustin
Legacy and currently visible from the project site. Materials, colors, and finishes would be
compatible with the existing structures on-site as well as those within Jamboree Plaza.
There is currently an ASC Type 20 License existing at the property for the sale of beer and wine for
utf site consumption. On August 10, 1998, the City of Tustin Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. 360b, approving Conditional Use Permit 98-013 authorizing the sale of off site beer
and wine at the subject location. Condition No. 2.2 of Resolution No. 3606 requires that CUP 98-
013 be amended prior to offering other types of alcoholic beverages for sale. The applicant is
proposing to operate with a Type 21 ABC License which would also allow for the sale of hard
liquor in addition to the beer and wine for ot~ site consumption. CLIP 09-004 has been submitted by
the applicant to amend Condition No. 2.2 and authorize a Type 21 License for the establishment.
PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
A Negative Declaration for the development of Jamboree Plaza was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on June 3, 1991 through Resolution No. 91-75. Said Negative Declaration evaluated the
environmental impacts associated with Zone Change 90-01, Tentative Parcel Map 90-292, Tentative
Parcel Map 90-293, and Design Review 90-40 which were also approved by the Planning
Commission and City Council. This project implemented the Planned Community District
Regulations for Jamboree Plaza as well as approved the initial project design and subdivision.
Various changes occurred in the development of Jamboree Plaza over the next few years including
the development of a commuter rail station on an adjacent parcel which is currently used by
yletrolink. On November 3, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-108 adopting a
Tiered Negative Declaration to amend the existing Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District
Regulations and adjust the project boundaries. Associated with this project were approvals for Zone
Change 97-002, Tc'tttative Parcel Map 97-016, and Design Review 97-016.

Un December 1, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-111 adopting the Negative
Declaration for Zone Change 97-004 to allow for salt=service caiwashes within Jamboree Plaza.
The Planned Community District Regulations for Jamboree Plaza previously allowed full service
carwashes as permitted uses and this zone change amended the text to also allow self-service
carwashes as permitted uses.
'T'he City Council can approve the activities as being within the scope of the project covered by the
Jamboree Plaza Negative Declarations if it is determined that pursuant to Section 15162 of the
CEQA Guidelines no new effects would occur, nor would substantial changes or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects occur. Eor the proposed project,
the City prepared the following comprehensive Environmental Checklist and the analysis below to
determine if the project is withia the scope of previous Negative Declarations and whether new
effects would occur as a result of the project.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist.
L AESTHETICS -Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited tq 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 tight or glare, which would adversely affect
day or nighttime views in the area?
No Sub~andal Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed project would not Gave any
additional impacts on aesthetics. All future projects would still be subject to the City's
design review process to control for aesthetics. Code Amendment 09-003 proposes to
reduce the required building setback offEdinger Avenue from thirty feet (30') to fifteen feet
X15'}, This should not have an overall impact on Jamboree Plaza as the center is built out
and still subject to the maximum building square footage thresholds identified in the
Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District Regulations. The proposed seduction in the
required building setback would not have a substantial effect on the existing landscape
terming along Edinger Avenue. The existing landscaping along Edinger Avenue meanders
with the existing sidewalk and is between approximately sixteen feet (1 b') and thirty feet
(30') in width. A maximum encroachment into this area by a building would still appear
uniform along Edinger Avenue as a minimum width of fifteen feet (1 S') of landscaping
would still be provided.
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
c: A 09-003, CUP 09-004. DR 09-004
Page 4
Many of the buildings within Jamboree Plaza are commercial condominium type units and
expansion is limited by the maximum square footage thresholds established for the center.
Expansion also requires approval of the Jamboree Plaza Association. Due to the orientation
~~f the Misting buildings along Edinger Avenue it is unlikely that additions to these buildings
would be proposed especially along the elevations fronting Edinger Avenue due to the
limited space. Nevertheless, aesthetic values regarding new development or additions to
existing structures along Edinger Avenue would be upheld through the City's and
Association's design review process which could control for massing, materials, finishes
and architectuore.
The proposed carwash addition to the existing service station is unique in the fact that it will
primarily overlay what was at one time an active drive-through lane that has since been
abandoned. Based on field observations and submitted plans it appears that only minimal
landscaping would be required to be removed as a result of the proposed carwash. Any trees
that would be displaced as a result of the project could be replaced or relocated elsewhere on
site, although it appears that only one tree may be required to be removed. The design of the
carwash would mimic the Tustin blimp hangers which are located just across Edinger
Avenue at Tustin Legacy and currently visible firm the project site. The carwash structure
would be composed of materials and finishes compatible with the existing building and the
center as a whole. The project is not located on a scenic highway and will not atyect a
scenic vista. No substantial change is expelled from the analysis previously completed in
the Negative Declarations.
A~fitigation/Monitoring Required: No new mitigation is required.

[L AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - In determining whether impacb 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 impacb 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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

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?
1Vo Substantial Change from Pretrious Analysis. The proposed project will not directly
cause Agricultural impacts. The project site is located within an urban area where no
farmland is present. Jamboree Plaza is a built out commerciaUindustrial center that does
not c:ontlict with any agricultural uses. The site is consistent with the site's General Plan
[.and Use Designation of Planned Community CommerciaUBusiness and the zoning
designation of Planned Community Industrial. No new effects to agricultural resources
from the previous Negative Declarations would resulE fiom the proposed project being
implemented.
The proposed 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 or used for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract, nor does
the allowed use involve other changes in the existing environment that could result in the
conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. The prior Negative Declarations identified
no impacts related to agricultural resources. No substantial change is expected from the
;uialysis previously completed in the Negative Declarations.

[II. AIR QUALITY -Where available, the slgniflcance 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?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an e~dsting or
projected air quality violation?

c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is noo-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed
~luantitatlve thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
.Yo Substantial Change from Previous Analysis; The proposed project would not have an
effect on air quality as a result of project implementation. The project proposes to alter a
development standard in regards to building setbacks. No change in use is being requested
and the impacts associated with aself-service carwash have already been reviewed in a
previous environmental review since self-service carwashes are permitted uses within the
Jamboree Plaza Planned Community District Regulations. The project will not alter any of
the maximum building square footages as previously approved for Jamboree Plaza. The
prior Negative Declarations identified potentially significant impacts to air quality unless
mitigated. Short term impacts may have been experienced in relation to grading while long
term potential impacts could result from future tenant uses. Mitigation requires dust control
during grading and construction activities as well as specific tenant compliance with all
;applicable South Coast Air Quality Management District permitting and regulations. No
substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Negative
Declarations.

[V. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES -Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identiffed 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, reguistlons, or
by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service'!
c) Have a substantial adverse etI'ect on federally protected wetlands as defined by

d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species or with estabUshed 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) ConfUct with fife provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state
habitat conservation plan?
No Substantial Change frons Previous Analysis. The project site is located within an
urbanized area that is free of any significant population of animals, fish or wildlife as well as
migratory wildlife There is no wildlife habitat or wetlands at the project site. The proposed
project would not result in impacts to federally listed, threatened, or endangered plant or
animal species The prior Negative Declarations identified no impacts related to biological
resources. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
Negative Declarations.

a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as
defined in §15064.3?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unlgae paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, Including those interred outside formal cemeteries?
;Vo Substantial Change from Previous Analysis There are no historical resources
associated with the project site or Jamboree Plaza No substantial excavation or grading
would be required in the future as a result of the project. The project site and Jamboree

b) Result in substandal soil erosion or the lose 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, Iquefacdon or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 1&1-B of the Uniform Building
Code (lOQI), 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 pmject would not result in
additional impacts to geology and soils. The project site is located within in an area subject
to liquefaction, however, minimal grading and/or excavation would result from the project
implementation. Prior Negative Declarations for Jamboree Plaza identified poteniially
significant impacts to geology and soils unless mitigated. Mitigations measures included
appropriate site preparation and methods in accordance with the City's Grading Manual and

a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requiremenb?
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 whfch would not support existing
land uses or planned uses for whlc6 permits Gave 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?

~Vo Substantial Change frons Previous .4nalysis The proposed project will not cause direct
impacts to hydrology and water quality. Carwashes have been previously analyzed for
envirormental impacts and are permitted uses within the Jamboree Plaza Planned
Community District Regulations. The proposed carwash would be subject to developing a
Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) and implementing Best Management Practices
(BMPs) required by state law. The prior Negative Declarations only identified drainage
patterns and absorption rates as posing a potentially significant impact unless mitigated.
These potential impacts were primarily associated with vacant land being converted to an
impervious surface and substantial grading activities at the time. Mitigation measuues
required compliance with the City of Tustin Grading Manual. These mitigations measures
would still be applicable to any future development at Jamboree Plaza.

would the project expose people residing or working in the project aces 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?
:Vo Substantial Change from Previous AnalysiR The proposed project would not generate
any long-term noise impacts. Short-term noise impacts may be observed during
construction phases, however, all construction activities would be required to meet the City
of Tustin Noise Ordinance and would be conducted consistent with City approved days and
hours for construction ac-tivities. No operational noise impacts are anticipated as the
proposed carwash would be required to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance. Jamboree
Plaza is also bordered by two major arterial highways in Edinger Avenue and Jamboree
Road as well as bordered by the OCTA railroad tracks.
The prior Negative Declarations identified noise as posing a potentially significant impact
unless mitigated. Mitigation measures included an acoustical analysis for Jamboree Plaza in
addition to compliance with the City Noise Ordinance and adhering to the City's
construction operations and permitted hours.
rKitigation/Monitoring Required: The prior Negative Declarations concluded that with
implementation of identified mitigation measures, there would be no impacts related to
noise. No new mitigation measures would be required.

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?

~'Vo Substantial Change from- Previous .-lnalysis. The project site is already developed and
located in an urbanized area where all utilities and services are existing. The proposed
project would not create the need for additional water or tand5ll facilities. The proposed
carwash would be required to comply with the regulations set forth by the Regional Water
Quality Contro113oard. The project is also required to develop a water quality management
plan and implement all best management practices. The prior Negative Declarations
iti~tified no impacts related to utilities and service systems. No substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the Negative Declarations.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required.• No mitigation is required.

YVII. 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 rho range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Doea the project have impacts that are indlvldually limited but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumnlatively 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 cnrrent projech, 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 indirectty?

The Negative Declarations previously prepared for Jamboree Plaza considered all
environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. All previously identified
mitigation measures applicable to the proposed project would be implemented. The
majority of the mitigation measures identified in the previous Negative Declarations
involve compliance with Federal, States, and local codes and regulations. The proposed
project would be requited to meet all applicable codes and regulations throughout the
development process and during operation. The project does not create any impacts that
have not been previously addressed by the Negative Declarations.

CONCLUSION
All potential et~ects of the proposed project were previously analyzed in the Negative
Declarations for Jamboree Plaza. No new effects will occur, no substantial changes would
occur, no intensification of impacts would occur, and no new mitigation measures will be
required.
Implementation of future 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 Negative Declarations for
Jamboree Plaza.
