RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4177 recommending that the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map 17404 to subdivide a 627.9 acre site into 58 numbered lots and 119 lettered lots for financing and conveyance purposes only. DISCUSSION Site and Surroundings The project site is generally bounded by Edinger Avenue to the north, Jamboree Road to the east, Barranca Parkway to the south, and Armstrong Road to the west. The project area is located entirely within Tustin Legacy (Attachment A -Location Map). TTM 17404 consists of approximately 627.9 acres of land and is located within Neighborhoods B, D, and a portion of G of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (Planning Areas 7, 8, 13-15) as shown in Figure 1. Planning Commission Report TTM 17404 Page 2 Figure 1 Tentative Tract Map 97404 TTM 17404 is being proposed as a financing and conveyance map only and would subdivide the project site into 58 numbered lots and 119 lettered lots (Attachment B). No development in conjunction with this map is being proposed. Future development of the project site will be subject to approval of a Concept Plan and Design Review which will facilitate the development on the proposed lots consistent with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed TTM 17404 has been analyzed for conformity with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, applicable City of Tustin guidelines and standards, and applicable mitigation measures identified in the certified FEIS/EIR. In addition, the Public Works Department has reviewed the map and determined that the proposed map is in conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act and Tustin City Code Section 9323 et al (Subdivision Code). Planning Commission Report TfM 17404 Page 3 Review ofAffected Agencies In accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act, the City transmitted a copy of the TTM 17404 to affected agencies informing them of the proposed subdivision. Seven (7) agencies provided comments on the TTM 17404. Comment letters received and responses are included as Attachment C to this report. Generally, these agencies requested information related to future development and provided the City with information relating to their requirements once development occurs. All comments have been addressed. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR. An environmental check list was prepared for the proposed project that concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from approval of the project (Exhibit A of Resolution No. 4177). The proposed project is consistent with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and is determined not to result in any new significant environmental impacts, substantial changes, or a substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified significant impacts in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Moreover, no new information of substantial importance has surfaced since certification of the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. No mitigation measures are required for the proposed subdivision of the site for conveyance and financing purposes. A decision to approve the proposed project may be supported by the findings contained in Resolution No. 4177 (Attachment D). ~ ~ . J tina Willkom E izabeth A.

OCSD is the regional sewering agency for the project area; Irvine Ranch Water District is the local sewering agency. Although OCSD owns and operates a 24-inch VCP gravity sewer located in Edinger Avenue, north of the project site, new connections to the sewer system should be made to IRWD's sewer system. If a new or existing connection to OCSD"s regional system is necessary, plans showing the proposed modifications should be submitted to me for review and approval prior to the issuance of a connection permit. Also, if a modified connection is necessary flow information should also be provided so OCSD staff can verify that the increase inflow (if any) will not negatively impact the capacity of our system. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments for this project. If OCSD staff has provided comments on environmental documents in the past, Tustin staff should also take those comments into account. Thank you, Wendy Smith, P.E.

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 April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR. The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the FEIS/EII2 and Addendum analyzed amulti-year development period for the planned urban reuse project. When individual activities with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan are proposed, the planning agency is required to examuie individual activities to determine if their effects were "fully analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. The planning 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. For the proposed Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 17404 project, the City prepared a comprehensive Environmental Checklist 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 Property is within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan also known as Tustin Legacy. TTM 17404 consists of approximately 627.9 acres of land at Tustin Legacy and is located within Neighborhoods B, D, and G of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (Planning Areas 7, 8, 13-15). 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. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 2 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. PRESENT CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY Historically, the Property was used as a Marine Corps helicopter training facility. Currently, the actual footprint of the Property is largely undeveloped land that was previously used for interim agricultural out-leasing by the Marines and also improved with landing strips and tarmac areas. Demolitions of abandoned buildings, tarmac areas, and landing strips have substantially been completed. Interim earthwork and mass grading have commenced. Rough grading in the area of Red Hill Ave. and Barranca Ave. as well as the installation of storm drain pipelines and retention facilities have also commenced. The City of Irvine is currently widening Barranca Ave. near Red Hill Ave. and providing underground storm drain facilities in this area. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 17404 TTM 17404 would subdivide a 627.9-acre site into 58 numbered lots and 119 lettered lots for financing and conveyance purposes. only: The site is generally bounded by Edinger Avenue to the north, Jamboree Road to the east, Barranca Parkway to the south, and Armstrong Road to the west. The project area is located entirely within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/ Reuse Plan area (Tustin Legacy). No development in conjunction with this map is being proposed. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the Environmental Analysis Checklist. I. 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 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 3 No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development plan is proposed with the subdivision and therefore the project will have no substantial adverse effects on a scenic vista. The proposed project has no potential for substantially damaging scenic resources, degrade the existing visual character, or create a new source of substantial light or glare. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/MonitoringRequhed: None.

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 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 subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is associated with the project. The proposed TTM 17404 will not directly cause Agricultural impacts. The project site was leased as interim agriculture sites. All agricultural activities on the site and Navy out leases were terminated in phases by the Navy prior to the closure of MCAS Tustin in July, 1999. The physical impact area for the proposed TTM 17404 is the same as that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Although not proposed at this time, implementation of the proposed project would continue to impact areas mapped but not used as Prime Farmland. Additionally, there are no areas subject to a Williamson Act contract, and conservation of farmland in this area was deemed unwarranted by NCRS. The loss of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance would remain a significant and unavoidable impact. The mitigation options previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum are still Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 4 infeasible and would be ineffective to reduce the localized adverse effects associated with the loss of mapped/designated farmland. There are no new feasible mitigation measures that could be implemented that would reduce the signif cant unavoidable impact associated with the conversion of Farmland to urban uses. Mitigation options identified in the FEIS/EIR determined to be infeasible are still infeasible and ineffective to reduce impacts to a level considered less than significant. There would not be a substantial increase in the severity ofproject-specific and cumulative impacts to agricultural resources beyond that identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum; however, these impacts would continue to be significant unavoidable impacts of the proposed project. The Tustin City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR on January 16, 2001. All 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. MitigationlMonitoring 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.

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? 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 5 No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The conveyance tentative tract map has no potential to violate air quality standards, or contribute to a cumulatively considerable increase of any criteria pollutant for the project region. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentration or create objectionable odor. On January 16, 2001 and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report and Addendum, respectively, for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEIS/EIR). Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. 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 mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

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 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 6 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 is a request for subdivision of the site for fmancing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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 (including the proposed project site) 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 and Addendum to require the relocation of the turtles and establishment of an alternative off-site habitat, and to require the applicant to obtain Section 404, Section 1601, and other permits as necessary for areas on the project site affecting jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or vegetated wetlands. Appropriate permits have been obtained and are subject. to conditions listed in the respective permits. Future 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 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 future developments. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The project has no potential to change the significance of a historical resource, or destroy a unique paleontological resource. Future development activities have been previously considered within the Program FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. 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 grading and construction activities. With the inclusion of mitigation measures identified in the MCAS Tustin FEISBIR and Addendum that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to cultural resources can be reduced to a level of insignificance. There is no new technology or methods available to reduce the identified significant unavoidable project-specific and cumulative impacts to historical resources associated with the removal of Hangars 28 and 29 to a level considered less than significant. Although these unavoidable project-specific and cumulative impacts would not occur with the proposed TTM 17404 (for conveyance only), future development within the Master development footprint could present impacts to these resources. A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001, to address potential significant unavoidable impacts. to historical resources resulting from the removal of both blimp hangars. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. All 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. Mitigation/Monitoring Re yuired.• Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program for future developments or as conditions of approval for future developments.

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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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/E1R for MCAS Tustin and Addendum 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 9 such hazards. No substantial change is expected for development of the project from the analysis previously completed in the FEISBIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. All 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. Mitigation/Monitoring Required.• Compliance with existing rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) 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 Fi~evious Analysis. The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The FEIS/EIR and its Addendum include a detailed discussion of the historic and 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. 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 TTM 17404 does not propose changes to height limitation included in the Specific Plan, nor do they pose anaircraft-related safety hazard for future residents or workers. The project site is not located in a wildland fire danger area. 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. Mitigatiot~/Monitoring Required: Implementation of activities and development at the project site could be subject to subsequent environmental review under CEQA as may be required by law.

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 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 Substantiat Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The proposed project will not impact groundwater in the deep regional aquifer or shallow aquifer. The project is not located within a 100-year flood area and will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury and death involving flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam, nor is the proposed project susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. As concluded in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, preparation of a 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 TTM would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts to water quality than what was previously identified in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 12 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. 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. 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; these measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program or as conditions of approval for future projects. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The proposed subdivision 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 surrounded by existing development and future 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. 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 FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR anal Addendum concluded that there would be no significant unavoidable land use impacts. The TTM 17404 for conveyance purposes Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 13 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 and Addendum mitigations and no new mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

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 subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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.

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? 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 14 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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes on1y..No development is proposed and no noise impacts are anticipated. The proposed subdivision will not increase the severity of the long-term traffic-related noise impacts more than previously identified in the FEISBIR and Addendum. With respect to the short-term noise impacts, future development would be required to comply with adopted mitigation measures and state and local regulations and standards, along with established engineering procedures and techniques, thus avoiding significant short-term construction-related noise impacts. 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 TTM 17404 is for conveyance purposes only and would not 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 TTM 17404 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 and Addendum mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures for subdivision of the site for conveyance puuposes.

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)? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 15 b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts to population and housing are anticipated. No new housing, removal of existing housing, or displacement of any people to necessitate construction of additional housing are proposed with the TTM 17404. The proposed TTM 17404 would not have an adverse effect on population and housing. 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/I;IR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. MitigationlMonitoring Required: The proposed TTM 17404 does not change the conclusions of the FEIS/EIR and Addendum; no refinements need to be made to the FEIS/EIR and Addendum mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures for subdivision of the site .for conveyance purposes. Sources: Field Observations FEIS/EIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin (Pages 3-18 to 3-34, 4- 14 to 4-29, and 7-18 to 7-19) and Addenduun Pages (5-lOlthrough 5-112) MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan (Pages 3-35 through 3-62, pages 3- 70 through 3-81, pages 3-82 through 3-88, and pages 3-104 through 3-137) Tustin Caeneral Plan 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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts public services are anticipated. The FEISlEIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin requires developers of the site to contribute to the creation of public services such as fire and police protection services, schools, libraries, recreation facilities, and biking/hiking trails. New facilities will be provided within the Master Developer footprint upon development of the site. Fire Protection. Future development will be required to meet Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding construction materials and methods, emergency Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 16 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 to the site. The number of existing fire stations in the areas surrounding the site and a future fire station proposed at Edinger Avenue and the West Connector Road will meet the demands created by the proposed proj ect. Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of resident population estimates, square footage of non-residential uses, etc. Future implementation of the project site in compliance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan would not increase the need for police protection services in addition to what was anticipated in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. As a condition of approval, future development projects would be required to work with the Tustin Police Department to ensure that adequate security precautions are implemented in the project at plan check. Schools. The impacts to schools resulting from future implementation of the proposed Tentative Tract Map 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 future developer to pay applicable school fees to the TUSD to mitigate indirect and direct student generation impacts prior to the issuance of building permits (Neighborhoods B, D, and G is located within the TUSD boundary). The payment of school mitigation impact fees authorized by SB 50 is deemed to provide "full and complete mitigation of impacts" from the development of real property on school facilities (Government Code 65995). SB 50 provides that a state or local agency may not deny or refuse to approve the planning, use, or development of real property on the basis of a developer's refusal to provide mitigation in amounts in excess of that established by SB 50. Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Since certification of the FEISBIR, the Orange County Library (OCPL) entered into an agreement with the City of Tustin for the expansion of the Tustin Branch library. The expansion of the library is a capital improvement of a public facility that will directly benefit 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. 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 the site proceeded. The proposed TTM 17404 is for conveyance only and would not increase the demand of public services 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 TTM 17404 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (conveyance) Page 17 would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to public services beyond that identified in the FEISBIR and Addendum. Therefore, no refinements or new mitigation measures are required for a subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

RECREATION 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? Impacts associated with recreation facilities were analyzed and addressed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. The proposed TTM 17404 is for conveyance purposes only and no development is proposed. Therefore, the proposed Tentative Tract Map would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts related to recreation services compared to conclusions of the FEIS/EIR and Addendum. 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. Mitigation/MonitoringBequired: The FEIS/ElR and Addendum concluded that there would be no significant unavoidable impacts related to recreation facilities. Additionally, the proposed TTM 17404 for conveyance purposes would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to recreation facilities beyond that identified in the FEIS/E1R and Addendum. Therefore, no new mitigation measures are required.

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? 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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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 future development. MitigationlMonitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe impacts would result from TTM 17404 than were originally considered by the FEIS/EIR. and Addendum. Therefore, no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

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? e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's 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 is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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 the proposed development, including water, sewer, drainage, electricity, natural gas, telephone, cable television, and solid waste management. In accordance with the FEIS/EIR and Addendum, future development of the site is 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 TTM 17404 for conveyance only 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 the proposed TTM 17404; therefore, no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

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 TTM 17404. 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 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 TTM 17404 is for conveyance only and does not create any impacts that have not been previously addressed by the FEIS/E1R 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts TTM 17404 (Conveyance) Page 21 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/FIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
