be supported based on:

families, very low income households, female headed

developer footprint;
The park sites will be available to the general public through public
easements;
Upon implementation of these park sites, there will be a
approximate)yy i~.i acres of park sites above the gacres/i,ooo
persons standarchn the City;
The 9-acre ark site was once planned for a detention basin where
further refinement of Tustin Legacy infrastructure design has
rendered a new detention basin at the corner of Barranca Parkway

The g-acre park site is surrounded by proposed commercial and
industrial uses in which a park site is not conducive to the
surrounding non-residential uses.

Environmental Re~»v~
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 a 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.
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the checklist should be considered and found to
be complete and adequate prior to approving the project as
proposed
