existing structures and possible future structures in the neighborhood
and public thoroughfares.
m) Proposed signage.
n) Development Guidelines and criteria as adopted by the City Council.
U. That pursuant to Tustin City Code Section 9291, the proposed senior apartment
housing development with a parking ratio of 1.7 spaces per unit will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the
persons residing or working in the neighborhood, nor be injurious or detrimental
to the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property,
or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin, in that:
1. Multi-family residential apartment housing is a permitted use in Planning
Areas 4 and 5 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, subject to approval of a
conditional use permit;
2. The 240-unit senior apartment project is in conformance with the MCAS
Specific Plan, including the limitation of rental units to a maximum 25

design, operational characteristics, or intent of the project as previously

General Plan as a growing special needs population in the City. The
Housing Element identified Coventry Court as an implementation project to
meet the City's housing projections and goals;
5. The project as proposed remains an age-restricted senior project and will
benefit the target population as originally intended;
Resolution 10-33
Page 5
6. The 153 affordable housing units will be provided just as originally approved
in terms of number, location, size, bedroom counts and income level, in
conformance with the approved Housing Agreement and Affordable Housing
Plan for Columbus Square;
7. Approval of the project for rental tenure will allow for the project to progress
and deliver the affordable housing units to the market in a more timely
manner and in conformance with the requirement for reasonable
proportionality in development of market-rate and affordable housing units;
8. A parking demand analysis utilizing a parking ratio of 1.7 spaces per unit
was previously approved for senior condominiums as CUP 05-037 by

conjunction with the subject project, and has been determined to be
satisfactory, adequate and applicable to the project as proposed for senior
apartments.

of the subdivision of 105.5 acres and development of 1,075 residential units at
the Columbus Square site, including was approved under Concept Plan (CP)
03-003 by Planning Commission Resolution No. 3951, Tentative Tract Map
(TTM) 16581 by City Council Resolution No. 05-40, and Final Tract Map (FTM)
16581 by City Council Resolution No. 06-17. The project proposed as rental
units necessitates text amendments to CP 03-003, and TTM 16581 and FTM
16581 to ensure consistency of the approved housing tenure type from
ownership to rental senior units, and that the necessary amendments are
determined to be consistent with the intent of the approved Concept Plan and
Tract Map;
W. That should the proposed rental tenure not be carried out or instituted, the
project approval shall remain valid for the development of 240 age-restricted
senior condominium units, as was originally intended and approved for the
project site;
X. That this project is determined to be exempt from additional CEQA review
pursuant to California Government Code Section 65457, which provides that
once the EIR has been certified and the specific plan adopted, any residential
development project that is undertaken to implement and is consistent with the
specific plan is exempt from additional CEQA review.
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse
and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEIS/EIR), which evaluated the environmental
impacts of the reuse and disposal of MCAS-Tustin, in conjunction with the
adoption of a Specific Plan. On February 3, 2003, the Tustin City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 1257, which adopted the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an
Addendum to the FEIS/EIR for the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin. The
Resolution 10-33
Page 6
FEIS/EIR and its Addendum considered the potential environmental impacts
associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin.
The development of Coventry Court at Columbus Square is a residential
development project that is being undertaken to implement and is consistent
with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, as amended. No substantial changes in
the project or circumstances under which it is being undertaken have occurred
and no new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified
(or amended) has become available. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt
from additional environmental review under CEQA.
The City Council hereby approves Design Review 09-024 and Conditional Use
Permit 09-024 for development of a 240-unit senior housing project age restricted
for persons of 55 years or older for rental tenure utilizing a parking standard of
1.7 spaces per unit on Lot 265 of Tract 16581, including 153 affordable housing
units, recreation center, and associated infrastructure and site improvements,

project site;
Q. That this project is determined to be exempt from additional CEQA review
pursuant to California Government Code Section 65457, which provides that
once the EIR has been certified and the specific plan adopted, any residential
development project that is undertaken to implement and is consistent with the
specific plan is exempt from additional CEQA review;
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse
and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEIS/EIR), which evaluated the environmental
impacts of the reuse and disposal of MCAS-Tustin, in conjunction with the
adoption of a Specific Plan. On February 3, 2003, the Tustin City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 1257, which adopted the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an
Addendum to the FEIS/EIR for the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin. The
FEIS/EIR and its Addendum considered the potential environmental impacts
associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin.
The development of Coventry Court at Columbus Square is a residential
development project that is being undertaken to implement and is consistent
with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, as amended. No substantial changes in
the project or circumstances under which it is being undertaken have occurred
and no new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified
(or amended) has become available. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt
from additional environmental review under CEQA.
II. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager, or his designee to execute
the First Amendment to the Housing Agreement for Columbus Square on behalf
of the City of Tustin.
III. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager, or his designee to execute
the Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants on behalf of
the City of Tustin setting forth provisions for affordable rental housing restrictions
for Coventry Court project.
IV. The City Council hereby approves amendment to Resolution Nos. 05-40 and 06-
17, which approved Tentative Tract Map 16581, to reflect a change in tenure
from ownership to rental for the proposed 240-unit age-restricted senior housing
complex on Lot 265 of Tract 16581, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit
