would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
II. 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:

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?
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?

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'?
XVII. 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
Iimited, 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'?

ACQUISITION ADJACENT TO THE INTERSECTION OF TUSTIN RANCH ROAD
AND WALNUT AVENUE
PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCU MENTATION
ENTATION
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 EIS/EIR was prepared by the City of Tustin and the Department of the
Navy (DoN) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
National Environmental Policy (NEPA). 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 December 4, 2004, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 04-77 for the Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR. 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/EIR and Addendum analyzed a multi-year
development period for the planned urban reuse project as a program document and included
Tustin Ranch Road within the boundaries of the former MCAS Tustin (The "Tustin Legacy"
project). Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR specifically analyzed impacts associated with Tustin
Ranch Road extension between Walnut Avenue and Valencia Avenue, including the acquisition of
right-of-way adjacent to the intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, When
individual activities within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan are proposed, the planning agency is
required to examine individual activities to determine if their effects were fully analyzed in the
FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum. The planning agency can approve
the activities as being within the scope of the project covered by the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental
#1 to 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 the Tustin Ranch Extension project,
including the acquisition of right-of-way adjacent to the intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and
Walnut Avenue, 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, Supplemental #1 to
FEIS/EIR, and Addendum and if new effects would occur as a result of the project.
Mitigation measures and implementation actions adopted through Resolution Nos. 00-90, 04-77,
06-43 are attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 2
PR OJECT LOCATION
Tustin Ranch Road Extension project is an extension of the existing Tustin Ranch Road from
Walnut Avenue on the north to Warner Avenue on the south, including intersection treatments
that require the acquisition of right -of -way. The portion of the project between Walnut Avenue
and north of the southerly right of way limit of Edinger Avenue is located to the north of the
former MCAS Tustin property ( "Tustin Legacy project ") traversing established communities
consisting of residential uses and industrial business parks. The portion of the project between
south of the Edinger Avenue right of way to Warner Avenue is located within Tustin Legacy
project. Tustin Legacy project is the portion of the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS)
Tustin within the City of Tustin corporate boundaries.
The Tustin Legacy project is located in central Orange County and is approximately 40 miles
southeast of downtown Los Angeles. 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
Tustin Ranch Road extension has been planned and identified in the City's General Plan and in
the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan as a future major arterial connecting the existing Tustin Ranch
Road to Tustin Legacy. The northerly portion of the project site between Walnut Avenue and
the OCFCD right of way currently contains fill material. The man-made topography near the
OCFCD right of way is approximately thirty -five (35) feet higher in elevation than adjacent
residences and industrial uses. The man -made topography gradually slopes down to Walnut
Avenue. Approximately 4 to 5 residences are located directly adjacent to the most elevated
portion of the fill material. Most of this till material was placed on the project site in 1977 to
form the foundation of the Tustin Ranch Road bridge over the OCFCD right -of -way,
OCTA/SCRRA railway right -of -way and Edinger Avenue. The grading for this part of Tustin
Ranch Road was completed at the same time that the grading for the Peppertree Residential
Community (Tract Nos. 7813, 7954, 8088, and 8912) was completed. Currently, the portion of
the project site between Walnut Avenue and the OCFCD right -of -way and south of Edinger
Avenue is fenced off from public access and is under construction.
Land uses northwest of the project site include single family dwellings (Laurelwood Residential
Community) and northeast of the site are industrial uses. Single family dwellings ( Peppertree
Residential Community) are located immediately west of the project site between Walnut
Avenue and the OCFCD right -of -way. An existing church and industrial uses are located
immediately east of the project site between Walnut Avenue and the OCFCD right -of -way.
South of the OCFCD right -of -way is the OCTA/SCRRA railroad right -of -way and Edinger
Avenue. The portion of the site that is south of Edinger Avenue has historically not been used
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 3
for military purposes but used as interim agricultural uses (interim agricultural uses have ceased).
The proposed right -of -way in this area was identified as such in the Reuse Plan approved in
October 1996 and FEIS /EIR certified in January 2001. The City acquired the deed to the MCAS
Tustin portion of the Tustin Ranch Road right -of -way on May 13, 2002.
The portion south of Edinger Avenue was graded as part of the initial portion of mass grading
work for the master developer footprint, and construction is underway .
RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION
The acquisition of approximately 9,500 square feet of right -of -way in the vicinity of the
intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue at 2472 Walnut Avenue, 2472 Chambers
Road, and 14471 Chambers Road is required for the Tustin Ranch Road Extension project to
accommodate right turn lanes, a bus turnout area, and other related improvements.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
All related environmental impacts associated with the construction and use of the Project were
considered in the FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum and all applicable
implementation measures and mitigation measures are identified in the Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program approved by the Tustin City Council for the FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1
to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum. 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?
The construction of the Tustin Ranch Road will include soundwalls of varying heights
adjacent to the existing residential walls. These soundwalls were recommended as
mitigation to reduce noise levels to less than significant (see discussion under Noise
Impacts). The project will include landscaping along the slope of the earthen ramp.
The project is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. Short-term
and insignificant visual impacts may occur with the presence of heavy machinery during
construction and demolition activities, but would only be visible within the
construction/demolition zone, which is almost completely within the former MCAS Tustin,
a facility which is closed to public access and view. Construction of the project through the
site's existing antiquated private circulation system, vacant aircraft facilities, parking

aprons, and open areas of short gasses would establish a new cohesive and harmonious
circulation streetscape through the planned community.
The project will utilize street lighting designed to reduce glare and spill -over, create a safe
night environment, and avoid glare impacts to surrounding properties. The proposed
project is to be constructed so will not adversely impact day or nighttime views in the area.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR,
and Addendum. Consequently, the proposed project will result in no substantial changes to
the environmental impacts previously evaluated with the certified the FEIS /EIR for MCAS
Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum.
hlitigation/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations is not
mitigation under CEQA. Consequently, no mitigation is required.

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?
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.
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 5
The physical impact area for the proposed project is the same as that identified in the
FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1 to 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, Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum are still 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 significant unavoidable impact associated with the conversion of Farmland to
urban uses. Mitigation options identified in the FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR,
and Addendum 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 of project - specific and cumulative impacts to agricultural resources
beyond that identified in the FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1 to 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, Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum.
The proposed project , including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR,
and Addendum. Consequently, the proposed project will result in no substantial changes to
the environmental impacts previously evaluated with the certified FEIS /EIR for MCAS
Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum.
iWitigationlMonitoring Required: In certifying the FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1 to
FEIS /EIR, and Addendum, the Tustin City Council adopted Findings of Fact and Statement
of Overriding Consideration concluding that impacts to agricultural resources were
unavoidable (Resolution Nos. 00 -90, 04 -77, and 06 -43). No mitigation is possible or
required.

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) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
All air quality environmental impacts related to development of the entire Specific Plan area
(including the project site) were considered in the adopted FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin,
Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum. Development of the entire project
would: 1) be inconsistent with the 1994 and 1997 South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP); 2) exceed South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) thresholds of significance for CO, NO, and ROC from long -term
operation emissions from mobile (vehicular) and stationary sources; and 3) would exceed
SCAQMD thresholds of significance during some or all phases of the project for peak
reduced emissions of suspended particulates (PM10), reactive organic compounds (ROC),
and oxides of nitrogen (NO,,) due to construction activities. However, a Statement of
Overriding Considerations for the FEIS /EIR, Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum
was adopted by the Tustin City Council identifying specific justifiable economic, legal,
social, technological, or other considerations.
Construction air emissions are also anticipated and would result from the following four (4)
construction activities: 1) demolition (which may include asbestos removal); 2) grading; 3)
site preparation and utility installation; and 4) roadway construction. Construction of the
proposed roadway extension will increase short term air emissions during construction
activities. However as discussed in the FEIRJEIS, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR,
and Addendum, construction related impacts of the proposed project would be below the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds and is considered
less than significant. Appropriate control measure under Rule 403 will be implemented
to ensure short term impacts resulting from construction activity will be less than
significant.
The proposed project , including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR,
and Addendum. Consequently, the proposed project will result in no substantial changes to

the environmental impacts previously evaluated with the certified FEIS /EIR for MCAS
Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEISIEIR, and Addendum.
MitigatiotVMonitoring Required: Specific Mitigation and Implementation Measures have
been adopted by the Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1
to FEIS /EIR., and Addendum for operational and construction activities (Mitigation
Measures AQ -1 through AQ -4). However, the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to
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, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum was
adopted by the Tustin City Council (Resolution Nos. 00 -90, 04 -77 and 06 -43).

IV. 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?
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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 8
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?
The FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to 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, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum determined
that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (including the
construction of the proposed project) could have an impact on jurisdictional
waters/wetlands. Mitigation measures were included in the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum to require the
relocation of the turtles and establishment of an alternative off-site habitat, and requires the
City as the project proponent to obtain Section 401 (Regional Water Quality Control
Board), 404 (California Department of Fish and Game), Section 1601 (Army Corps of
Engineers), and other permits as necessary for areas on the project site affecting
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or vegetated wetlands. The City of Tustin received these
permits. The proposed project , including the acquisition of right-of-way adjacent to the
intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development
considered with the analysis of the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to
FEIS/EIR, and Addendum. Therefore, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to
FEIS/EIR, and Addendum.
itfitigationlMonitoring Required: Mitigation and Implementation measures have been
adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR,
and Addendum; these measures (Bio-I through Bio-4) are included in the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program.

V. 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?
The portion of the project site located north of Edinger Avenue and south of Walnut
Avenue has previously been disturbed during grading activities associated with the
Peppertree Residential Community, flood control channel, and the railroad tracks. An
archaeological review of known archaeological sites for the portion of the project site
located south of and adjacent to Edinger Avenue was conducted in 1990 as referenced in
the FEIS /EIR and Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR. The archaeological review
included a review of surrounding areas for archaeological resources. This literature
review which was completed at the Archaeological Survey University of California Los
Angeles encompassed the entire Tustin Ranch Road project site. According to the
review, no known archaeological resources were found in the area of the Tustin Ranch
Road project site.
A portion of the project site that is south of Edinger Avenue and on the Base property
was evaluated for archaeological resources in the FEIS /EIR. The surveys resulted in the
recording of only one site (CA -ORA -381) which located at the northwestern part of the
former Air Station near Red Hill Avenue. This archaeological site (CA -ORA -381) has
been recorded within the Reuse Plan area; it is believed to have been destroyed. Numerous
archaeological surveys also 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.
It is possible that previously unidentified buried archaeological or paleontological resources
within the project site could be significantly impacted by proposed grading and construction
activities. With the inclusion of mitigation measures identified in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS
Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum and their respected Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program that require construction monitoring, potential impacts
to cultural resources can be reduced to a level of insignificance.
The proposed project , including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR,
and Addendum. Therefore, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and
Addendum.

VI. 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 1 8-1 -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?
The FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum indicates 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
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 11
lurching, seismically induced settlement, and flooding associated with dam failure.
However, the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, 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 such hazards. The proposed project, including the acquisition
of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is
within the scope of development considered with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. Therefore, no substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
MitigatioruMonitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is required.

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
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?
The FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to 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 project is proposed through areas known to
contain possible soil and ground water contamination. The Department of Navy (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.
The Engineering and Design Plans and Specifications include specially designed elements
and provisions that are intended to be protective of human health and the environment by
implementing construction techniques, design and materials that will prevent the transmittal
of existing VOC contaminated groundwater away from its current locations while not
interfering with on -going Navy remediation activities in the area. The Project Specifications
require the selected contractor to manage any small amounts of hazardous substances that
are likely to be identified during demolition, construction and dewatering activities.
Appropriate coordination with the DoN will occur to address construction and construction
related dewatering that may be needed in these areas to avoid any potential impacts. All
project activities will be conducted in accordance with federal, state and local regulations
governing the use, handling, transportation, and storage of hazardous materials, thereby
reducing the potential of an unauthorized release to the environment. Also, adherence to
federal, state and local regulations will ensure that the project will not create a significant
hazard to the public through the transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, nor are
there reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions at the property.
As identified in the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to 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 proposed project does not propose changes to height
limitation included in the Specific Plan, nor do they pose an aircraft- related safety hazard for
future residents or workers. The project site is not located in a wildland fire danger area.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered

VIII. 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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 14
0 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?
The project site is partially developed with several existing buildings and ancillary site
improvements such as former military aircraft tarmac and parking areas. The remainder of
the site is vacant. Project construction could lead to temporary silt -laden runoff due to storm
events and watering to reduce dust related air emissions. No long -term impacts to
hydrology and water quality are anticipated for the proposed project. In fact, the proposed
project involves the construction of a new public storm drain system that will improve site
drainage. Construction of the project will not impact groundwater in the deep regional
aquifer or shallow aquifer. Other than temporary utility construction related de- watering
activities, no groundwater removal (construction of wells) is proposed. The project is
consistent with drainage master plans prepared by the Orange County Flood Control District
and the Runoff Management Plan (ROMP) prepared for the former MCAS Tustin by the
City of Tustin. In addition, in accordance with implementation measures in the FEIS /EIR,
Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum, the City of Tustin and County of
Orange entered into Cooperative Agreement D02 -119 and an amendment to the agreement
to ensure the improvement of regional channel facilities through the Tustin Legacy site to
mitigate development runoff through appropriate backbone infrastructure to accommodate
issues of urban drainage, flood protection, and stormwater quality.
The project 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 susceptible to
inundation by seiche, tsunami or mudflow.
The proposed project would cross a 100 -year flood zone north Edinger Avenue at the
Santa Ana/Santa Fe Channel. The proposed project is not expected to add new runoff
into the channel because storm water would be conveyed to Walnut Avenue or the
drainage facilities south of Edinger Avenue that are proposed as part of the Reuse Plan.
As indicated on page of the FEIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEISIEIR, and Addendum,
the Santa Ana Santa Fe Channel is currently undersized and experiences over flow during
major storm events (i.e. 100 -year storm events). The proposed project will include bridge
piles within the area that experiences overflow. The installation of the bridge piles is not
expected to alter existing Santa Ana Santa Fe Channel.
Also, as previously noted, the project involves potential impacts to existing drainage
channels at MCAS Tustin that have been determined to contain jurisdictional waters and/or

Department of Fish and Game), Section 1601 (Army Corps of Engineers), and other permits
as necessary for areas on the project site affecting jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or
vegetated wetlands. The City of Tustin has previously applied for and received these
permits.
Temporary construction related activities would be required to comply with the Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Newport Bay watershed that requires compliance
with the Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) and National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) and the implementation of specific best management practices (BMP).
The use of established engineering and construction practices i.e. Best Management
Practices (BMPs) will ensure compliance with the City's NPDES permit. A Water
Quality Management Plan (WQMP) would be prepared for the project to identify BMPs
and ensure compliance with the NPDES permit. 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 such hazards.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for
MCAS Tustin. Therefore, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS
Tustin.
VJitigationfMonitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations including
the WQMP would reduce any potential impacts related to water quality and groundwater to
a level of insignificance and no mitigation is required. Specific Mitigation and
Implementation Measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in certifying the
FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for temporary construction
activities.

Page 16
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?
The City of Tustin is the controlling authority over implementation of the Reuse and
Specific Plan for those portions of the former base within the City of Tustin, such as land
use designations, zoning categories, major arterial roadways, urban design, public facilities,
and infrastructure systems. On February 3, 2003, the Tustin City Council approved the
Specific Plan for MCAS Tustin that established land use and development standards for
development of the site.
The proposed project would be supportive of redevelopment activities at the former base
and complies with the Specific Plan, and compliance with state and local regulations and
standards would avoid the creation of significant land use and planning impacts. Also, the
proposed project will not conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan. The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent
to the intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of
development considered with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental 91 to
FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. Therefore, no substantial change is expected
from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to

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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension

The MCAS Tustin FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum
indicate that no mineral resources are known to occur anywhere within the Reuse 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.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for

XI. 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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Tustin Ranch Road Extension
Page 18
The proposed project would construct an extension to the Tustin Ranch Road as part of the
backbone infrastructure that includes roadways and utility backbone systems through the
former MCAS Tustin. The construction of this infrastructure system will enable access, and
provision of public utility systems will support the new development to occur at Tustin
Legacy. Construction of backbone roadways will result in additional traffic and vehicular
related noise impacts to project - adjoining properties as detailed in the FEIS /EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR and Addendum. The FEIS /EIR establishes noise contours
around 65 Community Noise Equivalent Levels (CNEL) based upon aircraft and traffic
levels.
The FEIS /EIR adequately evaluated the effects of full development of the Reuse Plan
with Tustin Ranch Road for the year 2020 on the roadways surrounding the project site.
No further analysis for the year 2020 is required; however, the noise study prepared for
the project identified the effects that are associated with the development of the Tustin
Ranch Road extension for the year 2020. The noise study prepared for the project
determined that the noise effects for the year 2020 on the roadways surrounding the
project site are consistent with the findings in the FEIS /EIR. In addition to the noise
analysis along the roadways surrounding the project site, the noise study for the proposed
project evaluated the potential noise impacts on adjacent residential, church, and office
uses from constructing and operating the extension of Tustin Ranch Road. Mitigation
measures such as installation of sound walls, forced air ventilations, installation of
acoustic -rated windows /door assemblies, and installation of sealed weather - stripping on
second story exterior doors in habitable rooms were included in the Supplemental #1 to
FEIS /EIR.
The proposed project is not anticipated to generate additional traffic noise beyond that
previously anticipated by the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR and
Addendum. Future development at Tustin Legacy will be required to use construction
techniques and materials that ensure compatibility with maximum community noise levels.
There will be construction related noise associated with the construction activities as
anticipated in the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental 91 to FEIS /EIR and Addendum.
Temporary construction activities will be required to comply with local regulations and
standards identified in the City's Noise Ordinance (i.e. restricted days and hours of
construction activities). These requirements have been included in the bid documents and
specifications for the project.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope evaluated with the analysis
of the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
Therefore, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
MitigationliVonitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would

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)?
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?
The proposed project will not add new housing, remove existing housing, or displace any
people to necessitate construction of additional housing. The extension of Tustin Ranch
Road as planned for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan will provide, access, amenities, and
infrastructures to uses included within the Specific Plan. Any population growth resulting
from the extension of the roadway has been analyzed and addressed in the FEIS/EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right-of-way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for

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 will not directly 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. The FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR,
and Addendum has determined that such impacts could only occur as a result with the
planned buildout of the Tustin Legacy project. The proposed project will in fact create a
beneficial impact for access for fire and police protection in the project area.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for
MCAS Tustin. Therefore, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for MCAS
Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
reduce any potential impacts related to public services and facilities to a level of
insignificance. Specific Implementation Measures (Implementation Measures for Utilities
and Facilities (m) through (x)) have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in certifying
the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum. No mitigation is
required.

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?
The Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan provides for the future provision of a new
85.5-acre Regional Park, a 24-acre Community Park, two Neighborhood Parks of more than
five-acres and regional and community riding and hiking paths through the property. The
proposed project will not directly impact existing or planned recreational facilities other than
providing access and utility service to the planned Community Park and Urban Regional
Park site.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right-of-way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for

.W. TRAINSPORTATION/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 FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum indicates that
transportation and circulation impacts would be created through the phased
implementation and development of the approved Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. A projected 216,445 Average Daily Trips (ADT) would be generated by full
redevelopment of the base by year 2020 that, if left unmitigated, would overburden
existing roadways and intersections surrounding the base property. According to the
FEIS /EIR, development related traffic and circulation impacts will be mitigated and planned
roadways constructed on the facility as future development progresses at Tustin Legacy.
The proposed project is a required planned improvement and mitigation measure in the
FEIS /EIR before certain development levels can be authorized. The proposed project
would result in a redistribution of existing traffic volumes as well as provide access to the
vicinity of the project site.
The proposed project would cause temporary construction related traffic impacts.
Construction activities are required to comply with all transportation related FEIS /EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum Implementation and Mitigation Measures
(e.g., lane closures, street/utility construction, construction vehicle tragic, etc.) as identified
in the approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. With these mitigation
measures, potential temporary impacts to transportation and circulation resources can be
reduced to a level of insignificance.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered

The FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to 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 retail development, including water, sewer, drainage, electricity,
natural gas, telephone, cable television, and solid waste management. The FEIS/EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum concluded that no utility capacity issues
would occur from the ultimate buildout of Tustin Legacy, provided planned new
infrastructure backbone was constructed when required for the Tustin Legacy project. The
proposed project proposes to construct new public backbone utility services needed for
future redevelopment at Tustin Legacy. When completed, dry and wet utility components
(water, sewer, electricity, gas, etc.) will be supported by utility service that has been
previously committed to and designed by the responsible public and private utility
purveyors. The City has also planned for additional systems such as storm drainage, etc.
Construction activities are required to comply with all FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to
FEIS/EIR, and Addendum Implementation and Mitigation Measures (e.g., lane closures,
street/utility construction, construction vehicle traffic, etc.) as identified in the approved
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. With these Mitigation Measures in place,
potential temporary construction impacts can be reduced to a level of insignificance.
The proposed project, including the acquisition of right-of-way adjacent to the intersection
of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, is within the scope of development considered
with the analysis of the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for
MCAS Tustin. Therefore, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for MCAS
Tustin.
r1fitigationlMonitoring Required: The proposed p will only cause temporary
construction related traffic and circulation impacts that can be mitigated through enforcing
contractor compliance with existing rules and regulations would reduce any potential
impacts related to noise to a level of insignificance. Specific Implementation Measures
(Implementation Measures for Utilities (a) through (1)) have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for
temporary construction activities.

XVII. 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, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum previously
considered all environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse
Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed project is within the scope of
development considered with the analysis of the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to
FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. Therefore, no substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental
#1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. With the enforcement of FEIS /EIR,
Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum mitigation and implementation
measures approved by the Tustin City Council in the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (attached as Exhibit B) and their applicable incorporation into bid
and specification documents for the project, the proposed project would not cause
additional environmental impacts not covered by the FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1
to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin 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 Consideration for the
FEIS /EIR, Final Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum was adopted by the
Tustin City Council (Resolution Nos. 00 -90, 04 -77, 06 -43) for issues relating to air
quality, aesthetics, cultural and paleontological resources, agricultural resources, and
traffic/circulation. The proposed project, including the acquisition of right -of -way
adjacent to the intersection of Tustin Ranch Road and Walnut Avenue, does not create
any impacts that have not been previously addressed by the FEIS /EIR, Final
Supplemental #1 to FEIS /EIR, and Addendum.

CONCLUSION
The proposed project's effects were previously examined in the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #1
to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. No new effects will occur, no substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified significant effects will occur, no new mitigation measures
will be 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. A Mitigation and
Monitoring and Reporting Program and Findings of Overriding Considerations were adopted for
the FEIS/EIR, Final Supplemental #I to FEIS/EIR, and Addendum (Resolution Nos. 00-90, 44-77,
and 06-43), and will apply to the proposed project. Applicable provisions have been incorporated
into bid and specification documents to be monitored by the Public Works Department through a
construction manager and also oversight were required by the Community Development
Department.

from, or relating to the City's acquisition of the Property, the nature of which is fully
known by Seller and any and all other claim that Seller may have, whether or not
specifically mentioned herein, relating directly or indirectly to the acquisition by City of
the Property, including, but not limited to, the Temporary Construction Easement.
Except as otherwise specifically reserved in this Agreement, and conditioned
upon full performance of the rights, duties and obligations created by this Agreement,
Seller and City, and each and all of their individual and collective agents,
representatives, attorneys, principals, predecessors, successors, assigns,
administrators, executors, heirs, and beneficiaries, hereby release the other party, and
each of them from any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, costs, expenses, demands,
debts, controversies, damages, causes of action, including without limitation those
relating to just compensation, severance damages, loss of goodwill, relocation
assistance, interest, or any other claims for compensation whatsoever which any of

conditions, covenants, and agreements set forth herein shall apply to and bind the heirs,
executors, administrators, assigns and successors of the parties hereto. City and Seller
hereby acknowledge that each has been advised by their respective attorney
concerning, and is familiar with, the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542,
which provides as follows:
793043.1
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him or her must have
materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
Seller's Initials
City's Initials
Seller acknowledges that it may have sustained damage, loss, costs or expenses
which are presently unknown and unsuspected, and such damage, loss, costs or
expenses which may have been sustained may give rise to additional damage, loss,
costs or expenses in the future. Seller also acknowledges that changes in law may
occur in the future which may apply retroactively and may allow Seller to be entitled to
further claims for damage, loss, costs or expenses which are presently unknown and
unsuspected. Nevertheless, Seller hereby acknowledges that this Agreement has been
negotiated and agreed upon in light of that situation, and except as otherwise limited in
this Agreement, hereby expressly waives any and all rights which it may have under
California Civil Code section 1542, or under any statute or common law or equitable
principle of similar effect. This acknowledgment and release survives the Close of
Escrow.

or permitted hereunder or by law shall be validly given or made only if in writing and
delivered in person to an officer or duly authorized representative of the other party or

HONORING OUR PAST
SUBJECT: STATUS OF PROPERTY AT 2472 CHAMBERS ROAD, APN 432-471-24
Dear Mr. Birarn:
This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding the status of your property as it relates to the
City of Tustin's acquisition for public right-of-way purposes. It is our understanding that you
have been working with the City of Tustin's Public Works Department and that your property is
involved in a right-of-way acquisition which may subsequently result in a building setback along
Walnut Avenue that is less than the allowable area permitted by the Zoning Code and that will
reduce the existing parking by two spaces. Please note that Tustin City Code Section 9273(e)
states:
(e) Any use of land, building, or structure which is legal and conforming to all provisions of
this Zoning Code, as of the date of adoption of this "Ordinance," and made "non-
conforming" either in design or arrangement due to acquisition of public right-of-way by
the City, shall be exempt from a nonconforming status and the provisions of Section
9273, Nonconforming Structures and Uses, unless it is established by the Department of
Community Development that such use, building or structure creates a nuisance or is a
threat to the health, welfare or well being of City residents.
Said another way, if your use of land, building or structure, or parking area is legal and
conforming to all provisions of the Zoning Code, any nonconformity (e.g. reduced setback,
reduction in number of parking spaces, etc.) created as a result of a public right-of-way taking
shall be considered conforming, unless the use, building or structure, or parking area creates a
nuisance or is a threat to the health, welfare or well being of City residents.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (714)
573-3031 or Dana Ogdon at (714) 573-3109.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Bmsack
