PUBLIC HEARINGS:
2. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2011-01 AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
2011-04.
General Plan Amendment 2011-01 and Specific Plan Amendment 2011-04
involves amendments to the Conservation/Open SpacelRecreation element of
the General Plan by updating the Recreation Plan to reflect existing and future
parks and open spaces; and amendments to the approved MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan district regulations by increasing the allowable number of rental
units, allowing transfer of residential units and non-residential square footages
between planning areas, eliminating a 9-acre sports park form Neighborhood
E, requiring a Development Agreement prior to or concurrent with City approval
of any development project, and minor text clean-up. The total overall
allowable number of residential units and non-residential square footages will
remain the same. No change to the General Plan land use or zoning
designation is proposed.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed project that
concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from approval of
the project. The Environmental Analysis Checklist concludes that it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may
have a significant effect on the environment since the proposed refinement
would not increase the overall development potential or residential capacity
currently allowed by the adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and that the
FEIS/EIR, Addendum and Supplement are sufficient for the proposed project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4190 recommending that
the Tustin City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1413 approving General Plan
Amendment 2011-01 and Specific Plan Amendment 2011-04.
Presentation: Justina Willkom, Principal Planner
3. CODE AMENDMENT 2012-001, DRAFT ORDINANCE NO. 1411 -MINOR
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ORDINANCE.
Draft Ordinance No. 1411 would standardize the way Zoning Districts are
referenced throughout the Zoning Code to ensure additional consistency with
the Tustin Zoning Map. Ordinance No. 1411 would also make minor
corrections to the City's Zoning Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Ordinance No. 1411 is exempt from environmental review under CEQA
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4187, recommending that
the Tustin City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1411, approving Code
