DECLARATION AS ADEQUATE FOR GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT 99-003 AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
The City Council of the City of Tuslin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The City Council fines and determines as follows:
That General Plan Amendment 99-003 and [he related applications
for Conditional Use Permit 99-026 and Design Review 99-033 are
considered "projects" pursuant to Ihe terms of the California
Environmenlal Qual;ty Act; and
A Negative Declaration has bgen ~ - '~
pr_pa,e,., for th~s project and has
been distributed for public review.
The Planning Commission of the Cily of Tustin has considered
evidence presented by the Community Development Director and
other interested parties with respect, to the subject Negative
Declaration, and on June 12, 2000 recommended that the City
Council certify the Negative Declaration.
The City Council of the City of Tustin has reviewed and considered
the Final Negative Declaration and has determined that the Final
Negative Declaration ~s adequate and complete.
II.
A Final Negative Declaration, attached hereto as Exhibit A, has been
completed in compliance with CEQA and State guidelines. The City Council
has received and considered the information contained in the Negative
Declaration prior to approval of the proposed project, and found that it
adequately discusses the environmental effects of the proposed project.
On the basis of the initial study and comments received during the public
hearing process, the Council finds that although the proposed project could
have impacts, there will not be a significant effect bemuse mitigation
measures identified in the Final Negative Declaration have been
incorporated into the project which mitigate any potontial significant effects
to a point where clearly no significant effect would occur. The mitigation
measures are identified in Exhibit A and are conditions of approval in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3734 for Conditional Use Permit 99-
026 and Design Review 99-033.
In addition, the City Council finds that the project involves no potential for
any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife resources
as defined in Section 7! 1.2 of the Fish and Game Code.

On tile basis t)i' this initial evaluation:
,i~ I lind that tile proposed project COUI.D NO-l' have a significant effect on thc environment, and a
NEGATIVE DI!CLAIL-VI'ION will be prepared.
I find that although tile proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a s~gnificant effect ill this case because thc mitigation measures described on an atlached sheet
have been added to the project. A NI~.GA'I'I\"E I)I'~C1..ARATION will be prepared.
find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on tile enviroriment, and an
FMVIRONMI£NI'AL IMPACT RI:~PORT is required.
I lind that the proposed project SlAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but ~-t least one
eft'eot 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 earlic,' mlalysis as described on attached
sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Miff oared."
An ENV1RONMENTAI~ IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must mmlvze only the effects tlC'at
remain to be addressed.
I find that although tile proposed project could have a sigrfificant 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 EI R pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier Fl R, iilc!uding revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project.

Dirt't; lioIl.~;
A brief explanation is required for all ansx~ers except "No hnpact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a lead agency ciles itl the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects
like the one invoh'ed (e.g., tile project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No hnpact"answer should be
explained where it is based on project-specific factors and general standards (e.g., the project will not expose
sensitive receptors to polhllants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
A!I answers must take into account the whoie action involved, including off-site, on-site, cumulative project level,
indirect, direct, constnmtion, and operational impacts.
Once ~he lead agency has determined that a particnlar physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers mu:;t
indicate whether the impact is potentiaily significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant.
"Potentially Signiticant Impact" is appropriale if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If
there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, and EIR is
required.
"Negative Declaration: l,ess Than Sigm~.ic;mt \V~th Mitigation Incorporated" applies ;,~here the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significar. t Impact" to a "Less than Significant
hnpact." The lead agency must describe lhe mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce tile effect
~o a less titan significant level (miligation measures fi'mn Scctior~ XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-
referencetP,.
Earlier anah'scs may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 {lc) (3)([)). In tills case, a brief
discussion should identity, the .~bllowing:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b)
Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the at)ore checklist were within the scope of
and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and staie whether
such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation .Measures Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the prqject.
Lead auencies are e. ncouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential
e° ~
impacts ( .=., ,2eneral plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
Supporting hdbrmalion Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or indMduals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats;however, lead agencies
normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in
whatever fi)rmat is selected.
The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) tile significance criteria or threshold, if an)', used to evaluate each question; and,
b) the mitigation measure identified, if an3', to reduce tile itnt'/act to less than significance.

!. 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 characler or

1I. AGRICULTURE IIESOURCES: In determining
whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
Calitbrnia Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997) prepared by tile California Dept. of
Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prbne Farmland. Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmhmd), as shown on tile maps
prepared pursuant to tile Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of tile Cali£ornia R. esources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict v, iLi~ existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson .Act contract?
c) Invoh'c other changes in tile existing environment whicil.
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
I!!. Alii QtJALITY: Where available, tile significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality ~nanagetnent
or air pollution connol district may be relied upon to make the
following dctermhmtions. Would the project:
a) Cortflict with or obstruct implementation oftbe applicable
air quality plan?
b) Violate rely air quality standard or contribute substantially
to an existing tlr projected air quality :ioiation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase ofany

XVii. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does tile project ha,~e tile potemial to degrade the quality
of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat ora fish or
wildlife species, cause a fish or x~ ildlife 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 t:iiminate important
exatnples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are indMdually
limited, but cutnulatively 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 tile project have environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on hunmn beings, either

Item a. d & g -- Less Than Sianificant Impact: The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed
the proposed project and found that the project, as compared to the vacant site, will result in
an increase in traffic. However, the proposed project will not generate more traffic than the
previous service station that was demolished on the site in 1993. A ly'pical service station.
similar to the previous development, generates approximately 1000 daily trips. '['he traffic
generated from the'previous service station development did not negatively affect the level of
service for the adjacent arterials and intersections. Therefore, even with the increase of trips
as colnpared Io the vacant site, lhe proposed project is not anticipated to impact the planned
level of sen, ice for the adjacent arterials and intersections. No sali~t,,,' hazards or barriers for
pedestrians, bicyclists or vehicles or conflicts with bus turnouts are proposed. Adequate
access is provided from tv~'o driveways off of lrvine Boulevard and the adjacent alley,.
Automobiles accessing the site could create a hazard to vehicular and pedestrian traffic if
stacking occurs within the public right-of-way.
