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.
Figure 1
Tentative Tract Map 17404
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
City Council Report

TTM 17404
Page 3
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).
Review of Affected 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.
On August 30, 2011, a supplemental letter was received from Mr. Alexander Bowie on
behalf of the Tustin Unified School District (TUSD) in addition to their email received on
January 6, 2011 (Attachment D). Although in their email dated January 6, 2011,
Superintendent at the time, Mr. Richard Bray, indicated that TUSD does not have
substantive comments on the proposed TTM 17404, the letter dated August 30, 2011, in
general indicates that substantial changes in the project have occurred and substantial
increases in the severity of previously identified significant adverse impacts of the project
have occurred; thus, Supplemental Environmental Proceedings prior to approval of TTM
17404 was requested. The City Attorney is reviewing Mr. Bowie's current assertions and
will provide a response to the City Council.
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. 11-60).
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. 11-60 (Attachment E).

Subject: Review of Tustin Legacy Tentative Tract Map 17404
Dear Mr. Jones:
The City of Tustin has received your review comments of Tustin Legacy Tentative Tract
Map 17404. As you are aware this map is being processed for Conveyances Purposes
Only, at this time. No development is proposed at this time with this map. However, as
development proceeds and other mapping actions are proposed, they will be submitted
to the City of Irvine for review as appropriate.
The City of Tustin has not developed a phasing plan for future development under
Tentative Tract Map 17144, nor has the City prepared a phasing plan for the
construction of internal roadways to serve future development. At this time, the City is
moving forward with the Tustin Ranch Road Extension Project to provide the circulation
gap closure between Warner Avenue and Walnut Avenue. Final plans and
specifications are being prepared to proceed to public bid in the spring of 2011.
Thank you for your review comments. Please contact me at (714) 573-3172, if you
have any questions.

SUBJECT: Tentative Tract Map 17404
Dear Ms. Willkom:
SEC > 3 1010
,Cf~!r,~;;,V17Y ~EVELOPMEhTGEPT
We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 20, 2010 regarding the proposed
Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 17404, a 555-acre subdivision lot into 43 numbered lots within the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan area (Tustin Legacy) for financing and conveyance
purposes.
We have no comment on the conveyance of the subject TTM 17404. This area is part of the
overall approved Runoff Management Plan (ROMP) dated December 2004 for the Tustin
Legacy development area and as such, all flood control improvements need to be implemented
per the Tustin Legacy ROMP which includes Barranca Channel.
Should you have any questions, please contact me or Robert Young at (714) 834-5657 or (714)
834- 5060 respectively.
Sincerely,
M~ ~ t ~o~

Hi Justina,
I apologize for the delayed response regarding the subject project, it took a little while for the notice you sent to find
me.
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.

Subject: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP - 17404
Message being sent on behalf of Richard Bray, Superintendent, Tustin Unified School District:
Dear Ms. Willkom:
Thank you for informing TUSD about the City's proposed adoption of Tentative Tract Map No. 17404.
However, based on the representation in your letter of December 20, 2010, that TTM 17404 is "for
financing and conveyance purposes only," our District will reserve comment on the proposed map.
Although we have no substantive comments to submit regarding this particular financing and
conveyance map, we would greatly appreciate it if the City would keep our District timely apprised of
any future land use decisions made by, or any development or construction activities undertaken by,
the City, or any of its grantees, successors, or assigns, relating to any parcels of land in the vicinity of
any proposed or existing school sites located within the Tustin Legacy project.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this regard.
Sincerely,
Richard Bray

Attention: Pamela Stoker, City Clerk
Re: Supplemental Comments re: Tentative Tract Map No. 17404
Dear Council Members:
On behalf of Tustin Unified School District ("TUSD"), thank you for the "Notice" from
the City of Tustin ("City") in regard to the above, received on August 23, 2011, relative to
proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 17404 (""1'"I~M 17404"). The following comments, requests,
and suggestions are respectfully submitted in addition to the comments submitted on January 4,
2011, in response to the City request dated, December 20, 2010.
I. It is respectfully submitted on behalf of "TUSD, that substantial changes have occurred in
the "Project" relating to TTM 17404, subsequent to the approval of the "FEIS/EIR" and the
described "Addendum" ("Prior CEQA Documents"). These substantial changes have resulted in
new additional and significant adverse environmental impacts, as well as substantial changes and
substantial increases in the severity of previously identified significant adverse impacts, and
significant changed circumstances under which the Project will be undertaken(collectively,
"Change Impacts").
2. As you are aware, TUSD and Moffett Partners ("Lennar" and "Lyon") executed a
"Mitigation Agreement" to seek to establish a "K-8 School" and "High School" on the former
"MCAS/Tustin" property (collectively, "Proposed MCAS/Tustin School Facilities"). Legacy
Partners ("Centex" and "Shea") declined to similazly execute the necessary Mitigation
Agreement that would have made the Proposed MCAS/Tustin School Facilities a realistic
R[i. OUR i1LE

possibility. This occurred after the completion of the Prior CEQA Documents and is a new
substantial change creating new significant adverse environmental impacts as to onsite and
offsite, construction impacts as to interim and permanent school facilities, including traffic,
noise, and other impacts that need to be addressed by the City as the successor "Master
Developer" in a "Supplemental Environmental Proceeding" prior to approval of TTM 17404.
3. In regard to the foregoing, we respectfully bring to your attention the recent decision of
Chawanakee Unified School District, et al. v. County of Madera, et al., (2011) 196 Cal. App.
4`h 1016 ("Chawanakee Decision") which, together with other applicable law, necessitates, SB-
50 notwithstanding, that the above-described impacts be addressed prior to approval of TTM
17404 in a Supplemental Environmental Proceeding. In order to do so, this necessitates a
revised plan for on site, off site, permanent and interim school facilities in order that such new
significant adverse impacts can be identified, quantified, and mitigated to a level of
insignificance.
4. Also, the Project CEQA Documents identified a "CFD" by TUSD as a means of funding
the herein described necessary school facilities. Such a CFD has been formed and implemented
as to the Moffet Partners portion of the Project, but the failure of such a CFD to be established as
to the remaining area of TTM 17404 subsequent to completion of the Project CEQA Documents
is an additional change in the Project, and a subsequent change in circumstances which must be
addressed in the requested Supplemental Environmental Proceeding prior to approval of TTM
17404.
5. On the basis of the foregoing, it is respectfully requested that approval of TTM 17404 be
deferred pending a Supplemental Environmental Proceeding to address all the herein described
relevant issues, particularly as related to the the Chawanakee Decision.
On behalf of TtJSD, we request that the City designate the proper persons to interface
with TUSD in order to formulate a mutually acceptable plan for interim and permanent school
facilities for the Project, and a mutually acceptable plan for timely funding thereof to provide
such school facilities as sale of property to third parties and development of additional homes
occurs. "Phis will allow all such significant adverse impacts to be mitigated to a level of
insignificance. It is noted that in regard the desired joint future efforts that State Funding for
new construction has been exhausted by approved unfunded new construction projects. This
now deferred source of funding may occur at a later than assumed date.
The City and TUSD serve the same community and families, and TUSD looks forward to
initiating a collaborative, mutually-acceptable "Win/Win" approach to making development of
this portion of our community, a model of cooperation and good will in these challenging times,
which the City of Tustin and Tustin Unified School District are facing.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS - V~'ould 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 adversel}~ affect day or nighttime views in the area?
11. 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?
Ill. AIR OUAI.ITY: 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:
al 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 which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number
of people?

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 of a
public airport or public use airport, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project

would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing
or working in the project area?

FOR CONVEYANCE PURPOSES
NEIGHBORHOODS B, D, AND G OF MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN
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 EISiI?lR was prepared by the City of Tustin and the Department of the
Naw (DoN) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
National Environmental Policy (NEPA). The FEIS,~EIR analyzed the envirorunental consequences
of the Navy disposal and local community reuse of the MCAS Tustin site per the Reuse Plan and
the MCAS Tustin Specific PlarvReuse 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 "hustin City Council on .Ianuary 16, 2001. "I~e 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 Specitic flan and the FEIS/EIR and Addendum analyzed amulti-vear
development period for the planned urban reuse project. When individual activities with the
'~ MCAS "Tustin Specitic Plan are proposed, the planning agency is reyuired to examine 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 signiticant ettects occur, then no supplemental or subsequent
environmental document is reyuired. 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 ot~icially closed in July 1999. The majority of the
former MCAS Tustin lies within the southern portion of the City of "Dustin. "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 m close proxtmity 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 transacts 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. [nterim 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. ,

"fENTA'1'IVE TRACT MAP 17404
"1'"CM 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 fur the conclusions identified in the
T;nvironmental 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
1Yo Substantial ClranRe 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 datnaging 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;l~fonitoring Required: None.

Tustin General Plan
Il. 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 Vlodcl (1997)
prepared by the California Uept. 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 Clrange from Previous Analysis. The proposed subdivision is for fiinancing
and conveyance purposes only. No development is associated v,~ith 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. "I~he loss of Prime Farmland and
Farmland of Statewide Importance would remain a significant and unavoidable impact.
The mitigation options previously identified in the I~EIS/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
4
the loss of mapped,'designated farmland.
There are no new feasible mitigation measures that could be implemented that would
reduce the significant unavoidable impact associated with the com~ersion 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
tiICAS Tustin and Addendum.
:Lfitigatiorv~l~lonitoring Required: In certifying the FEIS/EIR, the Tustin City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and Statement in Ovemding Consideration concluding that
impacts to agricultural resources were unavoidable (Resolution No. 00-90). No mitigation
is required.

Tustin General Plan
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?
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) F,xpose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Pabe 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 StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report and Addendum, respectively, for the
Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FINS/EIR). Consequently, no substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for
MCAS Tustin.
Mitigatinrr/~b~onitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEISiEIR 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 signiticant 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.

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?

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?
1Vo 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 found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and 1V1CAS
Tustin Specific Plan would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered
plant or animal species; however, the FEIS/EIR and Addendutn 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 ofd=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.
MNigation~'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.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES -Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as
defined in §15064.5?
h) 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?
e ;:.
r,
No Substantial Clrange 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 FEISiEIR 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 he significantly impacted by grading and construction activities.
With the inclusion of mitigation measures identified in the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR 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 "I"1'M 17-101 (for conveyance only), future development within the Masser
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.
Fq~
Mitigatiorr/A~lonitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the `Tustin City
Council in the FEISIEIR and Addendum; these measures are included in the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for future developments or a_s conditions of approval for titture

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

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 unly. No development is
proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 'I~he 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 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

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
la 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?

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 Subs/anturl Change from Previnus 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 itnplement 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. "1'he project

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY -Would the project:
C,
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 heen 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?
Nn Substantial C'liange 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, injur}~ 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 hom 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 :ACAS 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 insi6nificance. 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.

,'Lfitigation/Monitoring Required.' Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
reduce any potential impacts related to water quality and ~oundwater to a level of
insignificance and no tnitigation 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.

IX. LAND USF, AND PLANNING -Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict R'ith 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
consen'ation plan?
,No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed project is a request for
subdivision of the site for financing and com'eyance 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.

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?
iYo Suh.stantial 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 aze known to
~: occur anywhere within the Specific Plan area. The proposed project ~~~ll 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. ('onsequently, no substantial change is expected from the
analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.

Xl. 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?

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?
1Vo Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed project is a request for
subdivision of the site for financing and com~eyance purposes only. No development is
proposed and no noise impacts are anticipated. The proposed subdivision will not increase
the severity of the long-tenor tratTic-related noise impacts more than previously identified in
the FEIS/EIR 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.
.~~itigation/ttilonitoring Reguired.• The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded that with
implementation of identified mitigation measures, there would be no impacts related to
noise. The "I"I'M 17404 dots 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 purposes.

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)?

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

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 ser~~ice
ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public
servues:
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 FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin requires developers of the site to contribute
to the creation of public services such as fire and police pmtection 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 project.
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 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 expansion of the library is a capital improvement of a public
facility that w111 directly benefit development activities within the Specific Plan area.
[)evelopers 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. "I~he 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/rL~onitoring 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

would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to public services beyond
I` that identified in the ITIS/EIR and Addendum. Therefore, no refinements or new
mitigation measures are required for a subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

XIV. 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
1- 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 anal}~sis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
~fitigation/.A~fonitnring Required: The FEIS/EIR and Addendum concluded shat 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 identited in the FEIS/CIR 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?
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.l 2-6 of the FEISi7rIR 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.
~Lfitigation/Monitoring 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.

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) leave 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 otily. 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 wa_5 evaluated in the FE[SiEIR
and Addendum.
Mitigation/.~I~lonitoring 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.

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 iq
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 TZ~M 17404 is for conveyance only and 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 FEISBIR for MCAS
Tustin and Addendum. No new effects will occur, no substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified signiticant effects will occur, no new mitigation measures will be

required, no applicable mitigation measures previously not found to be feasible would in
fact be fcasiblc, 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 envirorunental review under CEQA as may be required by law. No substantial
change is expected from the anal}~sis previously completed in the Program FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
