COUNCIL FIND THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL

UPDATE APPROVED ON FEBRUARY 4, 2002, IS

I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A,
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines
Section 15152, the City of Tustin staff completed an Initial Study and
determined that all effects associated with the implementation of the Revised
Housing Element Update were evaluated in the Program EIS/EIR for MCAS,
Tustin, that no new effects would occur, that no substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects would occur, that no new
mitigation measures would be required, that no applicable mitigation
measures previously not found to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and
that there are no new mitigation measures or alternatives applicable to the
project that would substantially reduce effects of the project that have not
been considered and previously adopted
On February 4, 2002, prior to adopting the Housing Element Update, the City
Council reviewed and considered the Program EIS/EIR for MCAS-Tustin, the
Initial Study for the Housing Element Update, the Planning Commission
minutes, and the comments and responses thereto. The City Council found
and certified that the Program EIS/EIR for MCAS, Tustin was adequate under
CEQA as an environmental document for the Housing Element Update and was
adequate, complete, and prepared in compliance with the requirements of
CEQA and the State Guidelines. The assessment that the Program EIS/EIR for
MCAS was adequate under CEQA for the Housing Element Update reflected
the City's independent judgment and analysis.
B,
On February 4, 2002, the City Council adopted the Housing Element Update.
The State Department of Housing and Community Development has
reviewed the Housing Element Update and recommended revisions. The
revision to the Housing Element Update makes clarifying and technical
changes that do not affect the prior environmental determination.
