MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 19, 2010
TO: DAVID C. BIGGS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
SUBJECT: FIFTH AMENDMENT TO TUSTIN LEGACY DISPOSITION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 04-02 (RETAIL DEVELOPMENT) AND
FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION AND
PAYMENT AGREEMENT
SUMMARY
Approval is requested of the Fifth Amendment to the Tustin Legacy Disposition and
Development Agreement ("DDA") 04-02 (Retail Development) and Fifth Amendment to
the Infrastructure Construction and Payment Agreement ("ICPA") between the City of
Tustin and Vestar/Kimco Tustin, L.P. as it relates to the "District" at Tustin Legacy
project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 10-95 finding that the Fifth Amendment to DDA 04-02 and the
Fifth Amendment to the ICPA is within the scope of the Final Joint Program EIS/EIR for
the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin, as amended by an Addendum, and that no
additional environmental impacts are anticipated and no further environmental analysis is
required.
2. Approve and authorize the City Manager, or Assistant City Manager to execute the
Fifth Amendment to DDA 04-02 and Fifth Amendment to the ICPA, subject to any non -
substantive modifications as may be determined necessary by the City Attorney, and to
carry out all actions necessary to implement the amendments including execution of all
related documents and instruments
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fifth Amendment to DDA 04-02 and the Fifth Amendment to the ICPA permit
certain delays in construction of portions of the Developer's responsibilities for
construction of certain improvements within the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
Program, which were previously required to be completed in June of 2010.
Atgenda Report
5Amendment to DDA 04-02 and ICPA
Page 2
DDA 04-02 and the ICPA, as previously amended, provide for the Developer to be
reimbursed by the City for any costs of the Developer Backbone Infrastructure Work
which exceed its Project Fair Share Obligation. Section 8.13.3 of the DDA capped
Developer's obligation in amount of $36,300,000, with the difference to be reimbursed
from the following sources pursuant to Section 4.2.1 of the ICPA:
• City's land sale proceeds from the initial Developer closing on the "District"
transaction not to exceed $7,500,000, provided that the City's obligation to
reimburse Developer utilizing these funds terminated if reconciliation under
procedures in the Agreement is not completed and funds paid to Developer
before May 13, 2004.
• City's land sale proceeds from any subsequent Developer closings on the
"District" transaction, provided that the City's obligation to reimburse Developer
utilizing these funds shall terminate if reconciliation under procedures in the
Agreement is not completed and funds paid to Developer before May 13, 2009.
• The City's receipt of land sale proceeds from the Master Developer footprint
which are in excess of the cost of Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure design
and construction costs for the Valencia North Loop Road and Armstrong
Infrastructure project (CIP NO. 7139).
• Any bonds issued by City covering all or any portion of Tustin Legacy with a plan
of work that specifically includes Developer's Backbone Infrastructure work.
• The City's receipt of reimbursement funds from IRWD for water and sewer
utilities constructed by Developer.
The current cost estimates for Developer Backbone Infrastructure Work as identified in
the ICPA is $82,510,692. Subject to all pre -conditions for reimbursement being met as
required by the ICPA, the City's reimbursement obligation to Developer is the amount
of $46,180,692. However, to date not all of the Developer's Backbone Infrastructure
has been completed. The City has determined eligible expenses for Developer's
installed Backbone Infrastructure to be in an amount of $54,497,760 and Developer
has received credit or reimbursements for its Backbone Infrastructure Work in the
amount of $52,788,155 (this includes the Developer's Project Fair Share Obligation).
Therefore, the City currently owes the Developer, once funds are available, $1,709,605
and would likely have an additional exposure of $28,012,932 if all improvements are
constructed consistent with the current estimated construction costs. To the extent that
any further adjustments or modifications to estimated construction costs for incomplete
or deferred facilities are approved by the City Council in the future, this obligation could
increase.
Agenda Report
5t Amendment to DDA 04-02 and ICPA
Page 3
Provisions of the proposed Fifth Amendment to the ICPA, have a number of other fiscal
implications:
• The Developer would maintain the opportunity to request City review of potential
future modifications to the improvement cost estimates for incomplete or deferred
projects that the City has not yet certified as complete. Any such requests for
modifications would require City Council approval in the form of an amendment
to the ICPA.
• Any unpaid reimbursement owed to the Developer under the current ICPA would
not have accrued interest until two years following completion of the Minimum
Project which included all Developer's Backbone Infrastructure Work. The
Amendment modifies the Minimum Project to remove the Deferred Backbone
Infrastructure Work and would require that interest start accruing upon
completion of all Deferred Backbone Infrastructure Work. The interest rate
remains unchanged, increasing annually on each anniversary date of the
completion, at the rate of five percent (5%) simple interest.
BACKGROUND
The City Council previously approved DDA 04-02 in July 2004, and subsequently
approved four amendments to the DDA in March 2005, June 2005, November 2006,
and November 2007 (collectively, the "Original DDA"). Provisions of the Fifth
Amendment to DDA 04-02 will permit Vestar/Kimco Tustin, L.P. (the "Developer") to
defer construction of certain required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements which would have otherwise been required to be completed in June
2010.
The ICPA is an implementing agreement required by DDA 04-02. The City Council
approved the ICPA June 8, 2005, and subsequent amendments in July 2007,
September 2007, January 2008, and in December 2008 (collectively, the "ICPA").
Provisions of the Fifth Amendment to the DDA will permit the Developer to defer
construction of certain required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements
and the Fifth Amendment to the ICPA would establish consistency with the proposed
DDA Amendments.
DDA 04-02
The Original DDA requires the Developer's design and construction of certain Tustin
Legacy Backbone Infrastructure and Developer's fair share contribution toward Tustin
Legacy Backbone Infrastructure. Pursuant to Section 8.1.5.a of the Original DDA, all
Agenda Report
5t Amendment to DDA 04-02 and ICPA
Page 4
Improvements, including all of the Developer's Backbone Infrastructure Work, was to be
completed by no later than five (5) years from the Initial Close of Escrow (the
"Improvement Completion Date") or by June 10, 2010.
Because of weak market conditions, Developer initiated discussion with the City on
proposed amendments requesting an extension of time at least past another Christmas
holiday (the 2010 Holidays) to ensure stabilization of the District and its tenants before
further construction of major infrastructure could be disruptive in the vicinity of the
District. Additionally, the Developer had anticipated an earlier availability of available
reimbursement funds from the City, which have not materialized such as land sales
from certain other property at Tustin Legacy. While the City made no specific time
commitment for such reimbursement funds in either the DDA or ICPA, the Developer
has claimed that there has been a heavy financial burden on it to complete all
outstanding Developer Backbone Infrastructure Work by June 10, 2010 as required by
the Original DDA. To assist the Developer based on the current economic environment
and to facilitate completion of all of the Developer Backbone Infrastructure Work
required under the Original DDA and ICPA, the Developer has requested postponement
of certain Developer Backbone Infrastructure Work not yet deemed complete which
would include the following:
1. Deferred Barranca Roadway and Channel Segments which involve the design
and construction of the Barranca Parkway Roadway Segment -Phase 2 and the
Barranca Parkway Channel Segment- Phase 2 and include the completion of the
full north side widening and improvement to Barranca Parkway.
2. Deferred Warner Storm Drain Facilities which includes the design and
construction of the required Warner Avenue Storm Drain from just west of
Jamboree Road to Peters Canyon Channel.
3. Deferred Barranca Storm Drain Facilities which include any property acquisition
of easement rights and the design and construction of a storm drain along the
north side of Barranca Parkway between Jamboree Road and Peters Canyon
Channel or an Alternative Improvement that may be approved by the City.
Attachment 7 (Schedule of Performance) of the Original DDA would be amended to
require the Developer to coordinate and specifically sequence the design, bidding and
completion of construction of the required improvements within specific time framed
trigger events specific to each of the above deferred improvements, but in no event later
than June 10, 2015.
Agenda Report
5t Amendment to DDA 04-02 and [CPA
Page 5
Infrastructure Construction and Payment Agreement
The Fifth Amendment to the DDA, permits the Developer to defer certain required
Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements that have yet to be started.
Accordingly, to assist the Developer under the current economic environment and to
facilitate completion of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Work as required, the
estimated costs for the Deferred Backbone Infrastructure have been isolated with
segments identified as either completed, incomplete or pending, and deferred. This
would continue to allow the Developer to receive reimbursement from reimbursement
funds when they are available in the form of progress or partial payments with respect
to work that has already been performed and for which payment requests are eligible
expenditures certified by the City Engineer.
The Fifth Amendment of the ICPA also permits, in the case of any balances available in
any infrastructure segment, the City to authorize transfer of Developer's unspent
estimated improvement costs to support costs for other facility segments not yet
completed, accepted or released by the City, subject to certain conditions. It will also
permit the City Council to review potential future modifications to the improvement costs
for deferred or incomplete facilities, subject to certain conditions being met.
Environmental Documentation
In considering approval of the Fifth Amendment to DDA 04-02 and Fifth Amendment to
the [CPA, the City has complied with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and the applicable state and local implementing guidelines (collectively
"CEQA") through the preparation of an initial study. The conclusion of the initial study is
that the amendments are consistent with the Final Joint Program Environmental Impact
Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin, as amended in April 2006 by a
Final Addendum (including minor Errata to the Addendum). City staff recommends that
the City Council adopt a resolution with applicable environmental findings supporting
this conclusion.

opening of traffic on Warner Avenue from Tustin Ranch Road west towards
Armstrong Avenue, or (iv) within twelve (12) months after opening to traffic of
the Tustin Ranch Road Extension Segment from Warner Avenue to the Valencia
Loop Road (future northerly portion of Park Avenue) , or; (v) in no event later
than June 10, 2015.
Deferred Barranca Parkway Storm Drain Facilities. Developer shall coordinate
and specifically sequence the work with the reasonable cooperation from the City
by completing any necessary right-of-way acquisition, design, bidding and
completion of construction of required improvements within the specific time
frames identified herein. As an alternative to the original Barranca Parkway
Storm Drain, Developer may also design and request City approval for a more
cost efficient solution ( "Alternative Storm Drain Facilities") rather than the
Original Barranca Storm Drain project provided Developer is able to demonstrate
to the City the following: the alternative project will be at least equivalent to the
functional equivalency of storm drain capacity that would have been provided
under the Original Barranca Storm Drain project; the alternative project is a
viable and definitive project that will be a cost saving solution that would not
necessitate acquisition of right-of-way adjacent to Barranca Parkway between
Jamboree Road and the Peters Canyon Channel; a contractual agreement can be
reached with any applicable developer of property within the master drainage area
west, north, or northwest of the District site where the Alternative Improvements
are proposed (the "Adjacent Property), including the City, if the City owns all
right-of-way necessary for such Alternative Storm Drain Facilities, and; the
location and design of the Alternative Storm Drain Facilities is acceptable and
approved by the City, in its sole discretion (and, if necessary, the County of
Orange Flood Control District as it may affect revisions necessary to the Tustin
Legacy Runoff Management Plan). Either the Original Barranca Storm Drain
facilities or the Alternative Storm Drain Facilities time frames for completion of
design, bidding, and construction shall be completed by earliest of the following
trigger events: (i) within twelve (12) months after the City approves construction
plans, specifications, and bid documents for that portion of Warner Avenue west
0
of Tustin Ranch Road, or (ii) in no event later than June 10, 2015. City agrees
that it will maintain the necessary Warner Avenue right-of-way to reserve the
option of accommodating the installation of the Alternative Storm Drain
Facilities.
5. Modifications to Scope of Development
5.1 Attachment 8, paragraph five of Section 2.1.5(f) is hereby amended and restated
to read as follows:
"Storm drain improvements will also include construction of the San Joaquin
storm drain at a capacity and in a location approved by the Director of Public
Works and necessary wetlands and Southwest Pond Turtle mitigation required by
the Final EISIEIR and the Department of Fish and Game (all of which will not be
considered part of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program
Improvements but required Developer Horizontal Improvements). It is expected
that San Joaquin storm drain improvements would be dedicated to the City as an
easement, with landscaping, surface parking and loading areas permitted within
the easement. Storm drain improvements will also include removal and
replacement of the existing 72 -inch RCP with a minimum 84 -inch RCP in
Barranca Parkway from the San Joaquin Channel to the vicinity of Construction
Circle in the City of Irvine (the "Original Barranca Storm Drain Facilities"),
except for any Alternative Storm Drain Facilities as may be approved by the City
subject to any conditions contained in Section 6.0 of the Schedule of Performance
(Attachment 7). In the event the City in its sole discretion determines that an
amendment to City's Tustin Legacy Runoff Management Plan is necessary or
appropriate to accommodate any Alternative Storm Drain Facilities as may be
approved by the City, Developer shall be responsible for any costs incurred by
the City of Tustin for such revisions, subject to a not to exceed cap of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000). All storm drain improvements shall comply with
the City's ROMP. The Developer shall also be responsible for retaining on-site
water from the Project in below -grade structures constructed on the Project Site
unless other interim storm drain water detention facilities attributable to the
Project are approved by the Director of Public Works (this will not be a
reimbursable part of the Developer's Backbone Infrastructure Work, but will be
Developer's sole responsibility and will be a required Developer Horizontal
Improvement). Developer shall also be required to accept upstream storm that
might cross the Property and detain/retain on the Property such upstream water so
that the release of said water into downstream regional flood control systems does
not exceed historical flow rates or the downstream capacity of such systems. With
the exception of the design and construction of the San Joaquin storm drain, other
off- site storm drain improvements or additional sizing or modifications required
by any and all upstream conditions, including retention/detention on the Property
of upstream waters shall be considered Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
Program Improvements"

and every term, covenant and condition of the Original DDA as amended is
hereby ratified and shall remain in full force and effect. Each and every
reference to the "Agreement" in the Original DDA shall be deemed to refer to
the Original DDA as amended by this Amendment.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO
INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION AND PAYMENT AGREEMENT
This FIFTH AMENDMENT TO INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION AND
PAYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Fifth Amendment") is entered into as of October 19, 2010
(the "Effective Date") by and between the CITY OF TUSTIN ("City") and VESTAR/KIMCO
TUSTIN, L.P., a California limited partnership ("Developer"). The City and the Developer are
sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
PV iTAIN
A. City and Developer entered into that certain Infrastructure Construction and
Payment Agreement dated June 8, 2005 ("Original Agreement", to which reference is made for
the meaning of each capitalized term used, but not defined herein), pursuant to the Tustin Legacy
Disposition and Development Agreement ("Retail Development") dated as of June 21, 2004, as
amended ("DDA") pursuant to which, among other things, the Developer agreed to: (i) pay the
Project Fair Share Contribution (as defined in the DDA) with respect to the Tustin Legacy
Backbone Infrastructure Program, and (ii) to design and construct "Developer's Backbone
Infrastructure Work" (as defined in the DDA), and (iii) to maintain the same until completion
of Developer's Backbone Infrastructure Work. The physical infrastructure improvements which
are a part of Developer's Infrastructure Backbone Infrastructure Work under the DDA are
referred to as the "Facilities" and were set forth in Exhibit A of the Original Agreement and
further broken down by "Segments" as described in Exhibit A, as subsequently amended.
B. City and the Developer entered into the First Amendment to Infrastructure
Construction and Payment Agreement dated July 26, 2007 ("First Amendment"), in order to
amend and modify Exhibit A to the Original Agreement, which sets forth the description of the
Segments and the Estimated Release Price for each Segment.
C. City and the Developer entered into the Second Amendment to the Infrastructure
Construction and Payment Agreement dated September 1, 2007 ("Second Amendment") to
provide for the City's acquisition of one of the Segments identified in the First Amendment from
the Developer and the payment to Developer of the purchase price for such Segment, which
purchase price was payable solely from proceeds of Community Facilities District No. 07-01
(Tustin Legacy/Retail Center) Special Tax Bonds, Series 2007 (the "CFD No. 07-01 Bonds").
D. City and the Developer entered into the Third Amendment to the Infrastructure
Construction and Payment Agreement dated January 2, 2008 (the "Third Amendment") to
provide for a modification to the definition of "Completion" in the Agreement and to provide the
Developer with some relief for reimbursements of certain Segments in Irvine under certain
conditions.
E. City and the Developer entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Infrastructure
Construction and Payment Agreement dated December 2, 2008 (the "Fourth Amendment") to
provide for certain progress reimbursement payments with respect to work for portions of
specific Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Work that had been certified complete and
eligible for a progress payment commensurate to the work completed consistent with conditions
contained in the Fourth Amendment.
F. The Original Agreement, as amended and modified by the First Amendment,
Second Amendment, Third Amendment, and Fourth Amendment are referred collectively to as
the "Amended Agreement".
G. Under Section 4.2.1 of the Amended Agreement, the Developer is entitled
subject to certain conditions being met to reimbursement of any costs of the Developer
Backbone Infrastructure Work which exceed the Project Fair Share Obligation but only to the
extent of the availability of specific sources of funds and terms for payment of such sources as
defined in Section 4.2.1 of the Amended Agreement, such as but not limited to the City
receiving land sales revenue generated from land sales of certain other property at Tustin
Legacy. Because of weak market conditions, availability of specific sources of funds such as
land sales from certain other property at Tustin Legacy have not occurred as anticipated. This
has imposed a heavy financial burden on the Developer to complete all remaining Developer
Backbone Infrastructure Work by the required Completion Date in the Amended Agreement of
June 10, 2010. To mitigate the financial burden on the Developer and to facilitate completion of
all of the Developer Backbone Infrastructure Work required under the DDA and Amended
Agreement, the Developer has requested postponement of certain Developer Backbone
Infrastructure Work not yet deemed complete. .
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are hereby
incorporated in the operative provisions of this Fifth Amendment by this reference and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,

C. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
❑Hazards and Hazardous Materials
❑Noise
❑Public Services
❑Utilities and Service Systems
❑Aesthetics
❑Cultural Resources
❑Recreation
❑Mandatory Findings of
Significance
❑ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one
effect 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 earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact' or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated."
An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
® I find that although the proposed project could have a significant 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 EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant 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 NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have
been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

Fifth Amendment to the Infrastructure Construction Reimbursement Agreement between
the City of Tustin and Vestar/Kimco Tustin, L.P.
PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
A Final Joint Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the
Disposal and Reuse of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program for the EIS/EIR was prepared by the City of Tustin and the Department of the
Navy (DoN) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
National Environmental Policy (NEPA). The FEIS/EIR analyzed the environmental consequences
of the Navy disposal and local community reuse of the MCAS Tustin site per the Reuse Plan and
the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan. The CEQA analysis also analyzed the environmental
impacts of certain "Implementation Actions" that the City of Tustin and City of Irvine must take to
implement the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan. The FEIS/EIR and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program were adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. The DoN
published its Record of Decision (ROD) on March 3, 2001. On December 6, 2004 the City certified
a Supplement to the FEIS/EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and
Warner Avenue. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an
Addendum to the FEIS/EIR related to Zone Change 05-002 and a Master Development Plan for
the Tustin Legacy Project. The original FEIS/EIR and the Supplement and Addendum are
collectively referred to herein as the FEIS/EIR.
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the FEIS/EIR analyzed a multi-year development period for
the planned urban reuse project. When individual activities with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
are proposed, the agency is required to examine individual activities to determine if their effects
were fully analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. The agency can approve the activities as
being within the scope of the project covered by the FEIS/EIR and Addendum if the agency finds
that pursuant to Sections 15162, 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines no new effects would
occur, nor would a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects
occur, then no supplemental or subsequent environmental document is required.
The proposed "Project' is the proposed Fifth Amendment to the Tustin Legacy Disposition and
Development Agreement (Retail Development) -04-02" (the "DDA 04-02"). An implementation
requirement of the DDA, is the preparation of an Infrastructure Construction Reimbursement
Agreement ("ICRA"). In conjunction with the Fifth Amendment to DDA 04-02, a Fifth
Amendment to the "Infrastructure Construction Reimbursement Agreement' (the "ICRA"),
between the City of Tustin and Vestar/Kimco Tustin, L.P. is also being concurrently prepared for
review and approval of the Tustin City Council. The 5`h Amendment to DDA 04-02 and the 5th
Amendment to the ICRA are collectively referred to in this document as the "Agreements". The
Amendments to the Agreements would modify several sections of the original DDA 04-02 and to
the ICRA, as amended, as it generally relates to the Schedule of Performance for completion of
certain required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure. No changes to the Scope of Work
would be anticipated with the exception that an alternative location for the Barranca storm drain
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5`h Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 2
may be implemented based on the adequacy of any alternative to be both cost efficient and
adequate to handle the storm drain capacity required to be accommodated in the project by the
developer.. The City prepared a comprehensive Environmental Checklist for the Project and the
analysis is provided below to determine if the Project is within the scope of the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum and if new effects would occur as a result of the Project.
PROJECT LOCATION
The Project site is within portions of Barranca Parkway and Warner Avenue adjacent to the retail
shopping center, The District at Tustin Legacy, which is within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
area and also known as Tustin Legacy. Tustin Legacy is that portion of the former Marine Corps
Air Station (MCAS) Tustin within the City of Tustin corporate boundaries. Owned and operated
by the Navy and Marine Corps for nearly 60 years, approximately 1,585 gross acres of property
at MCAS Tustin were determined surplus to federal government needs and was officially closed
in July 1999. The majority of the former MCAS Tustin lies within the southern portion of the
City of Tustin. The remaining approximately 73 acres lies within the City of Irvine.
Tustin Legacy is also located in central Orange County and approximately 40 miles southeast of
downtown Los Angeles. Tustin Legacy is in close proximity to four major freeways: the Costa
Mesa (SR -55), Santa Ana (I-5), Laguna (SR -133) and San Diego (I-405). Tustin Legacy is also
served by the west leg of the Eastern Transportation Corridor (SR 261). The major roadways
bordering Tustin Legacy include Red Hill Avenue on the west, Edinger Avenue and Irvine
Center Drive on the north, Harvard Avenue on the east, and Barranca Parkway on the south.
Jamboree Road transects the Property. John Wayne Airport is located approximately three miles
to the south and a Metrolink Commuter Rail Station is located immediately to the north
providing daily passenger service to employment centers in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and
San Diego counties.
The Project is located within portions of Barranca Parkway and Warner Avenue generally within
Planning Areas 16, 17, and 19 of the MCAS -Tustin Specific Plan. Construction of all on-site
improvements within The District at Tustin Legacy, and a majority of the associated public
infrastructure are complete. The portions of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
associated with the Project are comprised of storm drain and channel improvements within
Barranca Parkway and Warner Avenue, which were previously considered, and which will be
phased as a result of these Amendments. This phasing has been found by City engineering staff
to be acceptable and not of any risk to the project at this time given that no upstream
development is yet occurring.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist.
I. AESTHETICS — Would the project:
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5 1 Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 3
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of the required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements.
Development activities associated with the Project have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no
demonstrable negative aesthetic effect on the site.
There are no designated scenic vistas in the project area; therefore, the proposed Project
would not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.
No change in original uses identified or permitted in the Specific Plan is being requested;
therefore, the type of use to be developed is consistent and would result in similar visual
changes as those previously analyzed. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The mitigation measures applicable to the project have
been implemented with adoption of original Specific Plan. No refinements need to be made
to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES — In determining whether impacts 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 impacts 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
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5`h Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 4
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project will not directly
cause agricultural impacts. The proposed Project would continue to allow for the
construction of the required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
The Project site is not currently used for agricultural purposes and would not impact 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. Development activities proposed by the City
of Tustin have been previously considered within the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin
and Addendum and have been found to have no new effects, nor would a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects occur as a result of the
proposed project. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: In certifying the FEIS/EIR, the Tustin City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and Statement in Overriding Consideration concluding that
impacts to agricultural resources were unavoidable (Resolution No. 00-90). No mitigation
is required.

III. AIR QUALITY — Where available, the significance 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 existing or
projected air quality violation?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5" Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 5
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 thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements. No changes to the allowed physical development of the site are proposed.
Development activities for the proposed Project have been previously considered within the
Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no new
effects, nor would a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects occur as a result of the proposed Project.
A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001, to address significant unavoidable short-term, long-term, and
cumulative air quality impacts.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for operational and
construction activities. However, the FEIS/EIR and Addendum also concluded that the
Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant and could not be fully
mitigated. A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the
Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001 (Resolution No. 00-90). No new mitigation
measure is required.

IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES — Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5th Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 6
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, 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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project will not directly
cause impacts to Biological Resources. The proposed Project would continue to allow for
construction of the required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered
plant or animal species; however, the FEIS/EIR and Addendum determined that
implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan could impact
jurisdictional waters/wetlands and the southwestern pond turtle, which is identified as a
"species of special concern" by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), or
have an impact on jurisdictional waters/wetlands. Mitigation measures were included in the
MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR to require the relocation of the turtles and establishment of an
alternative off-site habitat, and to require Section 404, Section 1601, and other permits as
necessary for areas affecting jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or vegetated wetlands.
There are no waters or wetlands within the Project site.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES — Would the project:
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 formal cemeteries?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project will not directly
cause impacts to Cultural Resources. The proposed Project would continue to allow for
the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
Numerous archaeological surveys have been conducted at the former MCAS Tustin site. In
1988, the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) provided written concurrence that all
open spaces on MCAS Tustin had been adequately surveyed for archaeological resources.
Although one archaeological site (CA -ORA -381) has been recorded within the Reuse Plan
area, it is believed to have been destroyed. It is possible that previously unidentified buried
archaeological or paleontological resources within the project site could be significantly
impacted by construction activities. With the inclusion of mitigation measures identified in
the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to
cultural resources can be reduced to a level of insignificance. No substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program
for the Project or as conditions of approval for the Project. No refinements need to be made
to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS — Would the project:
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?
• Landslides?
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 (2001), 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 Project would continue to
allow for the construction of the required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements.
Development activities associated with the proposed Project have been previously
considered within the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been
found to have no demonstrable negative geology or soil effect on the site. The FEIS/EIR
and Addendum indicate that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of
the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan would include non -seismic hazards (such as
local settlement, regional subsidence, expansive soils, slope instability, erosion, and
mudflows) and seismic hazards (such as surface fault displacement, high-intensity ground
shaking, ground failure and lurching, seismically induced settlement, and flooding
associated with dam failure. However, the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5"' Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA

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.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
avoid the creation of potential impacts. No new mitigation is required.

VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS — Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonable
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it
create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public use airport,
would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the
project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?

Page 10
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or
where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements.
The FEIS/EIR and its Addendum include a detailed discussion of the historic and then -
current hazardous material use and hazardous waste generation within the Specific Plan
area. The DoN is responsible for planning and executing environmental restoration
programs in response to releases of hazardous substances for MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR
and Addendum concluded that the implementation of the Specific Plan would not have a
significant environmental impact from the hazardous wastes, substances, and materials on
the property during construction or operation since the DoN would implement various
remedial actions pursuant to the Compliance Programs that would remove, manage, or
isolate potentially hazardous substances in soils and groundwater. The Project site is not
within any area previously known to contain contaminants of any kind.
As identified in the FEIS/EIR and the Addendum, the Project site is within the boundaries of
the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) and is subject to height. restrictions. The
proposed Project does not propose changes to height limitation included in the Specific Plan,
nor does it pose an aircraft -related safety hazard for future residents or workers. The
proposed Project will consist of at -grad and subsurface improvements. The Project site is
not located in a wildland fire danger area.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new or modified mitigation is required for the Project.

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY — Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
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
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5 1 Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 11
pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing
land uses or planned uses for which permits have 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?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially
increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in
flooding on- or off-site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources
of polluted runoff?
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood
hazard Boundary of Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard
delineation map?
h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or
redirect flood flows?
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements.
Development activities associated with the Project have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no
demonstrable negative hydrology and water quality effect on the site. The Project site is
located within the Peters Canyon Channel Master Drainage Area.
As concluded in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, preparation of a required Water Quality
Management Plan (WQMP) in compliance with all applicable regulatory standards would
reduce water quality impacts from the development activities to a level of insignificance.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in new or substantially more
severe impacts to water quality than what was previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and
Addendum. The proposed Project would not alter the land uses proposed for development
or the location of the land uses in relation to communities within the Specific Plan area. The
amount of impervious surface proposed for construction would not change substantially;
therefore, analysis and conclusions in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum relative to impacts
related to groundwater supply, groundwater levels, or local recharge have not changed
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5`h Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 12
substantially. In addition, portions of the Project within Barranca Parkway and Warner
Avenue will have a positive impact to the backbone drainage system by resulting in the
construction of required storm drain and channel facilities; therefore, no new or more
severe impacts related to drainage patters, drainage facilities, and potential flooding would
result from the implementation of the Project.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
reduce any potential impacts related to water quality and groundwater to a level of
insignificance and no mitigation is required. Mitigation measures related to hydrology and
drainage were adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR for Disposal and Reuse
of MCAS Tustin and Addendum. No new mitigation is required.

1X. LAND USE AND PLANNING — Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency
with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited, to the general plan,
specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the
purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure.
The proposed Project would not alter the land uses proposed for development or the location
of the land uses in relation to communities within the Specific Plan area. The Project site
area is adjacent to existing development and development on-site would not physically
divide an established community.
Also, the proposed Project will not conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.

Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable land use impacts. The proposed Project does not increase the
severity of the land use impacts previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum;
therefore, no refinements needed to be made to the FEIS/EIR mitigation and no new
mitigation measures are required.

X. MINERAL RESOURCES — Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a
value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery
site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements.
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum indicated that no mineral resources are known to occur
anywhere within the Specific Plan area. The proposed Project will not result in the loss of
mineral resources known to be on the site or identified as being present on the site by any
mineral resource plans. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XI. NOISE — Would the project:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards
of other agencies?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5'" Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 14
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels?
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,
would the project expose people residing or working in the project area 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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements.
The severity of the long-term traffic related noise impacts would not be increased more than
previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
As discussed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, John Wayne Airport is located southwest of
the Project site. Based on review of the Airport Land Use Plan for John Wayne, the Project
site is not located within the 60 CNEL contour for airport operations. The proposed Project
would not involve the development of any uses that would expose people to excessive
noise related to aircraft operations.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that with
implementation of identified mitigation measures, there would be no impacts related to
noise. The proposed Project does not increase the severity of the noise impacts previously
identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum; therefore, no refinements need to be made to the
FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures would be required.

XII. POPULATION & HOUSING — Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?

5`h Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 15
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction

c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project will not directly
impact the population or housing. The proposed Project would continue to allow for the
construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Because no significant impacts were identified, no
mitigation was included in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum related to population/housing. The
proposed Project does not change the conclusions of the FEIS/EIR and Addendum and no
new mitigation is required.

XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with
the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new
or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could
cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service
ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public
services:
The proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin requires developers to contribute to the
creation of public services such as fire and police protection services, schools, libraries,
recreation facilities, and biking/hiking trails.
Fire Protection. The Project will be required to meet existing Orange County Fire
Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding construction materials and methods, emergency
access, water mains, fire flow, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems, building setbacks, and
other relevant regulations. Adherence to these regulations would reduce the risk of
uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire protection services
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5`h Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 16
to the site. The number of existing fire stations in the areas surrounding the site will meet
the demands created by new development in Tustin Legacy.
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population estimates, square footage of non-residential uses, etc. Implementation of
the Project would not increase the need for police protection services in addition to what
was anticipated in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
Schools_
The impacts to schools resulting from the implementation of the overall development
proposed would be similar to that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Consistent
with SB 50, the City of Tustin has adopted implementation measures that require
developers to pay applicable school fees to the TUSD, IUSD, and SAUSD to mitigate
indirect and direct student generation impacts prior to the issuance of building permits.
The proposed Project will have no impact on schools. As a public entity, the City of
Tustin is exempt from paying school fees associated with the proposed fire station.
Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Since certification of the FEIS/EIR, the Orange County
Library (OCPL) entered into an agreement with the City of Tustin for the expansion of the
Tustin Branch library. The new, larger library is a public facility that directly benefits
development activities within the Specific Plan area. Developers within the Specific Plan
area are required to make a fair share contribution to a portion of the development costs of
the library expansion. The proposed Project will have no impact on libraries.
To support development in the reuse plan area, the Reuse Plan/Specific Plan requires public
services and facilities to be provided concurrent with demand. The FEIS/EIR and
Addendum concluded that public facilities would be provided according to a phasing plan to
meet Projected needs as development of Tustin Legacy proceeded. The proposed Project
would not increase the demand more than what was already analyzed in the previously
approved FEIS/EIR and Addendum; therefore, no substantial change is expected.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable impacts related to public services. The proposed Project
would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to public services beyond
that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Therefore no new mitigation measures are
required.

a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks
or other recreational facilities, such that substantial physical deterioration of the
facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?
The proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements. Impacts associated with recreation
facilities were analyzed and addressed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable impacts related to recreation facilities. Additionally, the
proposed Project would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to
recreation facilities beyond that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Therefore no
new mitigation measures are required.

XV. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC — Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic
load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either
the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads
or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic
levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
5`h Amendments to DDA 04-02 and ICRA
Page 18
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
The proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that traffic impacts could occur as a result of build
out of the Specific Plan. The FEIS/EIR concluded that there could be significant impacts at
18 arterial intersections (see Table 4.12-6 of the FEIS/EIR for a complete list) and the levels
of service (LOS) at two intersections would improve compared to the no -project condition.
The trip generation resulting from implementation of the original Specific Plan and
Addendum would create an overall Average Daily Trip (ADT) generation of 216,440 trips.
The original Specific Plan also established a trip budget tracking system for each
neighborhood to analyze and control the amount and intensity of non-residential
development by neighborhood. The tracking system ensures that sufficient ADT capacity
exists to serve the development and remainder of the neighborhood. The construction of the
required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements associated with this Project
will not result in added ADTs.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe impacts
would result from implementation of the Project than were originally considered by the
FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Therefore, no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS — Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water
Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment
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?

projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste?
The proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
Development activities associated with the Project have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS/EIR for WAS Tustin and Addendum. The FEIS/EIR and Addendum
analyzed new off-site and on-site backbone utility systems required for development of the
site as necessary to support overall development of WAS Tustin Specific Plan, including
water, sewer, drainage, electricity, natural gas, telephone, cable television, and solid waste
management. In accordance with the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, most developers are
required to pay a fair share towards off-site infrastructure and installation of on-site
facilities. In addition, development of the site is required to meet federal, state, and local
standards for design of waste water treatment, drainage system for on-site and off-site, and
water availability. As concluded in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, no unavoidable
significant impacts would result. The proposed Project would not result in new or
substantially more severe impacts than what was evaluated in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe impacts
would result from implementation of the Project; therefore, no new or revised mitigation
measures are required.

XVII. 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 the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
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 the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
The FEIS/EIR and Addendum previously considered all environmental impacts
associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
and the proposed Project. With the enforcement of the FEIS/EIR and Addendum
mitigation and implementation measures approved by the Tustin City Council in the
Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Project or as conditions of approval, the
proposed overall development Project, including the proposed Project, would not cause
unmitigated environmental effects that will cause substantial effects on human beings
either directly or indirectly nor degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitats or wildlife populations to decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce
animal ranges, etc. To address cumulative impacts, a Statement of Overriding
Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16,
2001 (Resolution No. 00-90) for issues relating to aesthetics, cultural and
paleontological resources, agricultural resources, and traffic/circulation. The proposed
Project does not create any impacts that have not been previously addressed by the
FEIS/EIR and Addendum.

CONCLUSION
The proposed Project's effects were previously examined in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS
Tustin and Addendum. No new effects will occur, no substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects will occur, no new mitigation measures will be
required, no applicable mitigation measures previously not found to be feasible would in
fact be feasible, and no new mitigation measures or alternatives applicable to the Project
that have not been considered are needed to substantially reduce effects of the Project.
Implementation of 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 Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
