RESOLUTION NO. 91-44
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA REQUESTING AN EXTENSION
OF TIME TO REVISE THE CITY OF TUSTIN GENERAL
PLAN.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby
resolve as follows:
Whereas, the various elements of the General Plan of
the City of Tustin were adopted as follows: Housing,
1978; Land Use, 1973; Noise, 1975; Open
Space/Conservation, 1972; Recreation, 1972;
Circulation/Scenic Highways, 1970; Safety, 1978 and have
been expanded and amended from time to time to include
adopt(on of various state-mandated and discretionary
elements; and
Whereas, the City of Tustin faces significant and
continued growth pressures which require the updating of
the City General' Plan in order to maintain internal
consistency among the elements and to serve as a useful
tool to plan for and manage growth into the next century;
and
Whereas, recognizing that preparation of a General
Plan is a multi-year endeavor, 1990-91 costs for
preparation were budgeted at $102,500; and as part of the
City's three-year financial plan, the remainder of the
funding is to be allocated to the 1991-92 budget and
possibly the 1992-93 budget.
Whereas, the City Council authorized the City
Manager to execute a contract with Cotton-Beland
Associates, Inc. on February 4, 1991; and
Whereas, in spite of sufficient budgetary provisions
and substantial recruiting efforts, the city has not been
able to obtain necessary staff or consultant assistance;
however, with the assistance of consultant services the
City anticipates adopting an updated General Plan in
September, 1992; and
Whereas, pursuant to Section 65361 of the California
Government Code, the Director of the Office of Planning
and Research of the State of California has the authority
to grant extensions of time for completion or revision of
the mandatory elements of the General Plan,
Whereas, the City Council finds that, pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65361(a) (2), the
following reasons exist to justify extensions of time to

prepare timely revision to the elements of the General
Plan. The above has not been updated because:
ao
The City of Tustin is a city which has
experienced rapid growth through development
and annexations. Due to statutory-imposed
processing deadlines, and to avoid imposing a
development moratorium, a large part of the
City's available in-house staff resources have
been devoted largely to current planning.
Staff turn-over has affected the continuity of
general plan preparation activities in the
City.
Despite continued efforts by the City of
Tustin to update the General Plan over the
years to include various state-mandated
elements and to frequently revise the Housing
Element (City was first city in Orange County
with a 1989 Housing Element), the City did not
previously have the financial resources to
comprehensively update the General Plan.
de
Due to rapid growth, the General Plan is in
need of significant updating to maintain
internal consistency among the elements and to
serve as a useful tool to plan for and manage
growth.
Now, Therefore Be It Further Resolved By the City Council
of the City of Tustin as follows:
Based on the foregoing, the City of Tustin requests
that the Director of the California Office of
Planning and Research grant an extension of time
for a 12-month period to complete the revision of
all of the elements of the General Plan, as set
forth on the Request for General Plan Extension
attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
During the period of the extension, the City of
Tustin will follow the policies and procedures set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
