DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 04 -02 (RETAIL DEVELOPMENT)

Tustin and Vestar /Kimco Tustin, L.P. ( "the Developer ") as it relates to "The District" at
the Tustin Legacy project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
'1. Adopt Resolution No.12 -72 finding that the Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 ( "Sixth
Amendment ") is within the scope of the Final Joint Program EIS /EIR for the Reuse and
Disposal of MCAS Tustin, as amended by an Addendum, and that no additional
environmental impacts are anticipated and no further environmental analysis is required.
2. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Sixth Amendment, subject to
any modifications, including but not limited to completion of all schedules and
attachments as noted in the Sixth Amendment, as may be determined necessary and
which shall be approved by the City's Special Real Estate Counsel, and to carry out all
actions necessary to implement the Sixth Amendment including execution of all related
documents and instruments.
FISCAL IMPACT
Preparation of the Sixth Amendment has involved both legal service and staff costs.
Provisions contained in the Sixth Amendment require the Developer to reimburse the
City for all costs and expenses, including attorney fees, third party fees and staff costs
incurred by the City in connection with the Sixth Amendment and land exchange
between the Army and City.
Agenda Report
6th Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 2
BACKGROUND
The City Council previously approved DDA 04 -02 in July 2004, and subsequently
approved five amendments to the DDA in March 2005, June 2005, November 2006,
November 2007, and October 2010 (collectively, the "Original DDA ").
The Department of the Army is an owner of certain property immediately adjacent to the
Developer's project, "The District" at Tustin Legacy, which is currently largely used as
an Army Forces Reserve Center. The Army has previously licensed a portion of its
property for a temporary parking lot use immediately west of the AMC Theaters to the
Developer in an effort to assist the Developer in making parking more convenient for
theater and live style center patrons in the Developer's project. Recognizing that this
temporary parking lot was only available on a month to month license extension, the
Army and the Developer have been in negotiations on the exchange of certain real
property on the Developer's project. Pursuant to discussions, the Army would transfer to
the Developer certain property currently owned by it ( "Additional Property ") which would
permit the temporary parking area to be permanently incorporated into the Developer's
project in exchange for Developer's agreement to transfer certain property owned by the
Developer to the Army ( "Release Property ").
Provisions of the Original DDA restrict the Developer's ability to transfer ownership or
control of any portion of the Property prior to the issuance by the City of a Certificate of
Completion unless approved in writing by the City in its sole discretion. The 6th
Amendment to DDA 04 -02 permits the Developer to defer construction of certain
required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements which would have
otherwise been required to be completed in June 2010.
In order to accommodate the proposed land exchange, the Developer and the City are
required to modify certain terms of the Original DDA, including releasing the Developer
Exchange Parcel from certain terms and conditions of the DDA, the CC &R's and the
Special Restrictions affecting the Release Property and the agreement for the
Developer to impose certain DDA restrictions, CC &R's and Special Restrictions upon
the Additional Property that would be acquired by the Developer pursuant to the Land
Exchange.
The proposed Sixth Amendment to the DDA, will not be effective until approval by the
Army of a Land Exchange Agreement with the Developer. The following is a summary
of additional provisions of the 6th Amendment to the DDA.
1. Location and Size of Additional Property and Developer Exchange Property:
Agenda Report
6th Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 3
• New Vestar property ( "Additional Property ") will be approximately 3 acres. Army
and Developer are confirming final legal descriptions for this parcel but parcel is
as generally shown on Attachment 1 to this report with minor alterations of the
boundaries still being negotiated between the Army and Developer as will affect
siting of fencing and a potential corner cut -off at the northwest corner of the
proposed Additional Property and its adjacency to the New Army Property.
• New Army Property ( "Release Property ") will be approximately 3 acres. Army and
Developer are confirming final legal descriptions for this parcel but parcel is as
generally shown on Attachment 1 to this report with minor alterations of the
boundaries still being negotiated between the Army and Developer as will affect
siting of fencing and a potential corner cut -off at the northeast corner of the
proposed Release Property and its adjacency to the Additional Property.
2. Additional Conditions Precedent to City Exchange Approval:
• Approval by the Army of a Lot Line Adjustment application and legal descriptions.
• Approval by the City of required entitlements to effectuate the land exchange
including site plan and design review.
• City approval of form deeds for conveyance of properties.
• Insurance coverage for new Developer Additional Property, or adequate
alternative protection of City risks.
• Approval and signature of partial releases and spreaders, and amendments as
may be necessary to the DDA, the Special Restrictions, Subdivision Agreement,
and Landscape Maintenance Agreement.
• Approval of any mortgage holder to the Army and the Developer land exchange
and Sixth Amendment to the DDA, partial release of the mortgage from the
Additional Property and placement onto the Developer Exchange Property.
Subordination of the lien of the mortgage to the DDA and all amendments,
special restrictions, CC &R's, Subdivision Agreement, And Landscape
Agreement.
• Any required releases from existing tenants and leases.
• No lien on the Additional Property.
3. Additional conditions tied to execution of Sixth Amendment
• The Developer shall reimburse the City for all costs and expenses incurred by
the City in conjunction with the Sixth Amendment and the Land Exchange and its
implementation, regardless of whether the transactions are finalized or not.
Agenda Report
6th Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 4
• The Developer shall be responsible for certain improvements as shall be
approved in conjunction with any required entitlements associated with
Developer improvements on the Additional Property.
• As a condition tied to any completion of the District at Tustin Legacy Project and
City's issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, Developer is required to complete
certain steps to address Traffic circulation and parking concerns at the District
including the following:
o Within 30 days of approval of the Sixth Amendment to DDA, the
Developer shall retain a traffic engineer to prepare a Traffic Analysis that
reviews and evaluates the existing traffic circulation and parking
conditions within The District to address complaints and concerns
regarding on -site circulation and provide proposed mitigation measures to
alleviate the concerns.
o Within 90 days after execution of the Sixth Amendment to the DDA, the
Developer shall deliver a Traffic Analysis to the City which will be subject
to City review and approval by the City. The City and The Developer shall
meet and agree to negotiate solutions to be made by The Developer to
improve adverse traffic and parking conditions as identified in the Traffic
Analysis and any costs for said improvements. Upon agreement to
improvement and costs, the Developer shall be required to enter into a
written Traffic Agreement with City and implement agreed upon
improvements within 12 months from the City Council's approval of the 6th
Amendment to the DDA.
One staff concern should be pointed out related to provisions of the Sixth
Amendment regarding the Traffic Analysis: the proposed provisions in the
Sixth Amendment do not require the Developer to actually make any traffic
improvements, but merely to undertake the Traffic Analysis and then to
meet and agree to negotiate solutions to be made by Developer to
improve traffic conditions at The District. However, the City will be able to
hold back issuance of a Certificate of Compliance for the Project, in the
event, that the Developer is not responsive and agreeable to making traffic
improvements as may be required for the project.
It should be identified that there are a number of anticipated attached documents to the
Sixth Amendment (as identified in the attached Sixth Amendment, including but not
limited to, such documents as legal descriptions) that are still awaiting approval by the
Developer (i.e., legal descriptions, etc.), Army and City. City staff are requesting City
Council approval to allow the final completion and modifications, as may be necessary,
to these documents to be subsequently approved by counsel prior to execution of the
Agenda Report

Sixth Amendment by the City. Unfortunately, City Council action supporting the Sixth
Amendment has been requested by the Army in order for the Army to continue
discussions and conclusion of negotiations on the Land Exchange Agreement with the
Developer. Despite Developer's inability to deliver all requested documents in a timely
manner, City staff does not want any inaction by the City to in any way deter the Army's
willingness to complete its negotiations with the Developer.
Environmental Documentation
In considering approval of the 6th Amendment, the City has complied with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the applicable state and
local implementing guidelines (collectively "CEQA ") through the preparation of an initial
study. The conclusion of the initial study is that the amendment is consistent with the
Final Joint Program Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS
Tustin, as amended. City staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolution 12 -72 with applicable environmental findings supporting this conclusion.
Staff will be available to respond to any questions that the City Council might have.

and all Claims that the Developer or any Releasing Party may now have
or hereafter suffer or acquire arising from or related to: (a) any condition
of the Additional Property or any current or future improvement thereon,
known or unknown by any Releasing Party or any Released Party;
(b) any construction defects, errors, omissions or other conditions, latent
or otherwise, including environmental matters, as well as economic and

treatment, transportation or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any
time on, in, under, from, about or adjacent to the Additional Property or
any current or future improvement thereon or any portion thereof;
(d) Claims of or acts or omission to act of any Governmental Authority
or any other third party arising from or related to any actual, threatened,

improvement thereon, including any Investigation or Remediation at or
about the Additional Property or any current or future improvement

representatives, agents or consultants arising after Exchange
Closing.. This release includes Claims of which the Developer is
07 -10 -2012 8 TustinNestar
Sixth Amendment to DDA
presently unaware or which the Developer does not presently suspect to
exist which, if known by the Developer, would materially affect the
Developer's release to the Released Parties. The Developer specifically
waives the provision of California Civil Code Section 1542, which
provides as follows:
"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 MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR."
In this connection and to the extent permitted by law, the Developer on
behalf of itself and the other Releasing Parties hereby agrees, represents
and warrants that (x) it realizes and acknowledges that factual matters
now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Claims
or controversies which are presently unknown, unanticipated and
unsuspected, (y) the waivers and releases in this Agreement have been
negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and (z) the
Developer, on behalf of itself and the other Releasing Parties,
nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit the Released
Parties from any such unknown Claims and controversies which might
in any way be included as a material portion of the consideration given

(RETAIL DEVELOPMENT) AND THAT ALL APPLICABLE
MITIGATION MEASURES WILL BE INCORPORATED
INTO THE PROJECT AS REQUIRED BY THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
A. That the Sixth Amendment to the Tustin Legacy Disposition and
Development Agreement DDA 04 -02 (Retail Development) is proposed by
and between the City of Tustin and Vestar /Kimco Tustin, L.P., a California
limited partnership (the Developer).
B. That the Sixth Amendment to the Tustin Legacy Disposition and
Development Agreement DDA 04 -02 (Retail Development) is considered a
"Project" pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act;
C. That on January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Final Program
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS /EIR)
for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin. On December 6, 2004, the City
Council certified a Supplement to the FEIS /EIR for the Tustin Ranch Road
project. On April 3, 2006, the City Council approved an Addendum to the
FEIS /EIR. The FEIS /EIR, its Supplement and Addendum are collectively,
herein referred to as the "FEIS /EIR Documents ". The FEIS /EIR Documents
are a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act
( "CEQA "). The FEIS /FEIR Documents considered the potential
environmental impacts associated with development on the former Marine
Corps Air Station, Tustin (the 'Tustin Legacy project');
D. The City prepared a comprehensive Environmental Checklist for the Sixth

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 6, 2004 the City certified
a Supplement to the FEIS /EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and
Warner Avenue. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06 -43 approving an
Addendum to the FEIS /EIR related to Zone Change 05 -002 and a Master Development Plan for
the Tustin Legacy Project. The original FEIS /EIR and the Supplement and Addendum are
collectively referred to herein as the FEIS /EIR.
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the FEIS /EIR analyzed a multi -year development period for
the planned urban reuse project. When individual activities with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
are proposed, the agency is required to examine individual activities to determine if their effects
were fully analyzed in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum. The 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 significant effects
occur, then no supplemental or subsequent environmental document is required.
The proposed "Project' is the proposed Sixth Amendment to the Tustin Legacy Disposition and
Development Agreement (Retail Development)- 04 -02" (the "DDA 04 -02 "). The Project consists
of the exchange of property between Vestar Development (the "Developer ") and the United
States of America through the Secretary of the Army (the "Army "). The exchange consists of
approximately 3.0 +/- acres of property within The District shopping center (New Army Property
or the "Release Property ") containing permanent parking, circulation, and landscaping
improvements for approximately 3.0 +/- acres of property within the adjacent Army Reserve
Center property (New Vestar Property or the "Additional Property ") containing temporary
parking, circulation, and landscaping improvements serving The District as shown in Attachment
1. The Project includes the land exchange and associated parking, circulation, and landscaping
improvements and associated Sixth Amendment to Disposition and Development Agreement 04-
02 to add certain property currently owned by the Army to The District shopping center and
constructing permanent parking, circulation, and landscaping improvements, and removal of
-1-

certain property currently owned by the Developer at The District and adding it to the Army
Reserve Center property.
In order to accommodate the Project, the Developer has requested and the City has agreed to
release the Release Property from the terms and conditions of DDA 04 -02, the CC &Rs and the
Special Restrictions and from various other documents affecting the Release Property pursuant to
certain terms and conditions in the Sixth Amendment subject to the Developer agreeing to the
imposition of certain restrictions set forth in the DDA, the CC &Rs and the Special Restrictions
upon the Additional Property to be acquired by the Developer. The City prepared a
comprehensive Environmental Checklist for the Project 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 Project site is within portions of property near Barranca Parkway and Tustin Ranch Road
within and adjacent to the retail shopping center, The District at Tustin Legacy, which is within
the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan area and also known as Tustin Legacy. 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 officially closed in July 1999. The majority of the former MCAS
Tustin lies within the southern portion of the City of Tustin. The remaining approximately 73
acres lies within the City of Irvine.
Tustin Legacy is also located in central Orange County and approximately 40 miles southeast of
downtown Los Angeles. Tustin Legacy is in close proximity to four major freeways: the Costa
Mesa (SR -55), Santa Ana (I -5), Laguna (SR -133) and San Diego (1 -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 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.
The Project is located within portions of Barranca Parkway and Warner Avenue generally within
Planning Areas 16, 17, 18, and 19 of the MCAS- Tustin Specific Plan. Construction of all on -site
improvements within The District at Tustin Legacy, and a majority of the associated public
infrastructure are complete. On -site improvements will consist of the Developer constructing
permanent parking, circulation, and landscaping improvements within the Additional Property

and other minor improvements within and adjacent to the Release Property to facilitate the land
exchange.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would result in a
relatively even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of
existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent
facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
Development activities associated with the Project have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no
demonstrable negative aesthetic effect on the site.
There are no designated scenic vistas in the project area; therefore, the proposed Project
would not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.
No change in original uses identified or permitted in the Specific Plan is being requested;
therefore, the type of use to be developed is consistent and would result in similar visual
changes as those previously analyzed. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The mitigation measures applicable to the project have
been implemented with adoption of original Specific Plan. No refinements need to be made
to the FEIS /EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

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:
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 Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project will not directly
cause agricultural impacts. The proposed Project would result in a relatively even land
exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of existing temporary
parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to better
facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
The Project site is not currently used for agricultural purposes and would not impact prime
farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance as shown on maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Managing and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency, to non - agricultural use. Development activities proposed by the City
of Tustin have been previously considered within the Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin
and Addendum and have been found to have no new effects, nor would a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects occur as a result of the
proposed project. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation /Monitoring Required: In certifying the FEIS /EIR, the Tustin City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and Statement in Overriding Consideration concluding that
impacts to agricultural resources were unavoidable (Resolution No. 00 -90). No mitigation
is 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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project would result in a
relatively even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of
existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent
facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
Development activities for the proposed Project have been previously considered within the
Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no new
effects, nor would a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects occur as a result of the proposed Project.
A Statement of Overriding Considerations for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001, to address significant unavoidable short-term, long -term, and
cumulative air quality impacts.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS /EIR and Addendum for operational and
construction activities. However, the FEIS /EIR and Addendum also concluded that the
-5-

Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant 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 new mitigation
measure is required.

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?
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis The proposed Project will not directly
cause impacts to Biological Resources. The proposed Project would result in a relatively

even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of existing
temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to
better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
The 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 and Addendum determined that
implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan 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 to require the relocation of the turtles and establishment of an
alternative off -site habitat, and to require Section 404, Section 1601, and other permits as
necessary for areas affecting jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or vegetated wetlands.
There are no waters or wetlands within the Project site.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation /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 the Project or as conditions of approval for the Project. No refinements need to
be made to the FEIS /EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

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?
-7-
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 8
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project will not directly
cause impacts to Cultural Resources. The proposed Project would result in a relatively
even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of existing
temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to
better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
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 be significantly
impacted by construction activities. With the inclusion of mitigation measures identified in
the MCAS Tustin FEIS /EIR that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to
cultural resources can be reduced to a level of insignificance. No substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation /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 the Project or as conditions of approval for the Project. No refinements need to be made
to the FEIS /EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are required.

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:
me
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 9
• 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
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of the required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements. The proposed Project would result in a relatively even land exchange of
improved property and result in the replacement of existing temporary parking,
circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to better facilitate the
operation of The District shopping center.
Development activities associated with the proposed Project have been previously
considered within the Program FEIS /EIR for WAS Tustin and Addendum and have been
found to have no demonstrable negative geology or soil effect on the site. The FEIS/EIR
and Addendum indicate that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of
the Reuse Plan and WAS 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 such hazards.

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?
-10-

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 Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements. The proposed Project would result in a relatively even land exchange of
improved property and result in the replacement of existing temporary parking,
circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to better facilitate the
operation of The District shopping center.
The FEIS /EIR and its Addendum include a detailed discussion of the historic and then -
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.
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
proposed Project does not propose changes to height limitation included in the Specific Plan,
nor does it pose an aircraft- related safety hazard for future residents or workers. The
proposed Project will consist of at -grad and subsurface improvements. The Project site is
not located in a wildland fire danger area.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation /Monitoring Required: No new or modified mitigation is required for the Project.

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
11-
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 12
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?
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements. The proposed Project would result in a relatively even land exchange of
improved property and result in the replacement of existing temporary parking,
circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to better facilitate the
operation of The District shopping center.
Development activities associated with the Project have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum and have been found to have no
demonstrable negative hydrology and water quality effect on the site. The Project site is
located within the Peters Canyon Channel Master Drainage Area.
As concluded in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum, preparation of a required Water Quality
Management Plan (WQMP) in compliance with all applicable regulatory standards would
reduce water quality impacts from the development activities to a level of insignificance.
Implementation of the proposed Project would not result in new or substantially more
12-
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 13
severe impacts to water quality than what was previously identified in the FEIS /EIR and
Addendum. The proposed Project 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
amount of impervious surface proposed for construction would not change substantially;
therefore, analysis and conclusions in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum relative to impacts
related to groundwater supply, groundwater levels, or local recharge have not changed
substantially. In addition, portions of the Project within Barranca Parkway and Warner
Avenue will have a positive impact to the backbone drainage system by resulting in the
construction of required storm drain and channel facilities; therefore, no new or more
severe impacts related to drainage patters, drainage facilities, and potential flooding would
result from the implementation of the Project.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Compliance with existing rules and regulations would
reduce any potential impacts related to water quality and groundwater to a level of
insignificance and no mitigation is required. Mitigation 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. No new mitigation is required.

IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING— Would the project:
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure. The
-13-

Page 14
proposed Project would result in a relatively even land exchange of improved property
and result in the replacement of existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape
improvements with permanent facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District
shopping center consistent with the Specific Plan. The Project site area is within and
adjacent to existing development and 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. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. The FEIS /EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable land use impacts. The proposed Project does not increase the
severity of the land use impacts previously identified in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum;
therefore, no refinements needed to be made to the FEIS /EIR mitigation and no new
mitigation measures are required.

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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements. The proposed Project would result in a relatively even land exchange of
improved property and result in the replacement of existing temporary parking,
circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to better facilitate the
operation of The District shopping center.
The FEIS /EIR and Addendum indicated that no mineral resources are known to occur
anywhere within the Specific 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. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum.

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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project would continue to
allow for the construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure
improvements. The proposed Project would result in a relatively even land exchange of
improved property and result in the replacement of existing temporary parking,
circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent facilities to better facilitate the
operation of The District shopping center.
The severity of the long -term traffic related noise impacts would not be increased more than
previously identified in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum.

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 Project
would not involve the development of any uses that would expose people to excessive
noise related to aircraft operations.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS /EIR and Addendum concluded that with
implementation of identified mitigation measures, there would be no impacts related to
noise. The proposed Project does 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 mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures would be required.

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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The proposed Project will not directly
impact the population or housing. The proposed Project would continue to allow for the
construction of required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation /Monitoring Required: Because no significant impacts were identified, no
mitigation was included in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum related to population/housing. The
proposed Project does not change the conclusions of the FEIS /EIR and Addendum and no
new mitigation is required.

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 would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements. The proposed Project would result in a
relatively even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of
existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent
facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
The FEIS /EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin requires developers to contribute to the
creation of public services such as fire and police protection services, schools, libraries,
recreation facilities, and biking/hiking trails.
Fire Protection. The Project will be required to meet existing Orange County Fire
Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding construction materials and methods, emergency
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 will meet
the demands created by new development in Tustin Legacy.
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population estimates, square footage of non - residential uses, etc. Implementation of
the Project would not increase the need for police protection services in addition to what
was anticipated in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum.
Schools.
The impacts to schools resulting from the implementation of the overall development
proposed 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
-17-

Page 18
developers to pay applicable school fees to the TUSD, IUSD, and SAUSD to mitigate
indirect and direct student generation impacts prior to the issuance of building permits.
The proposed Project will have no impact on schools. As a public entity, the City of
Tustin is exempt from paying school fees associated with the proposed fire station.
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 new, larger library is a public facility that directly benefits
development activities within the Specific Plan area. Developers within the Specific Plan
area are required to make a fair share contribution to a portion of the development costs of
the library expansion. The proposed Project will have no impact on libraries.
To support development in the reuse plan area, the Reuse Plan/Specific Plan requires public
services and facilities to be provided concurrent with demand. The FEIS/EIR and
Addendum concluded that public facilities would be provided according to a phasing plan to
meet Projected needs as development of Tustin Legacy proceeded. The proposed Project
would not increase the demand more than what was already analyzed in the previously
approved FEIS /EIR and Addendum; therefore, no substantial change is expected.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS /EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable impacts related to public services. The proposed Project
would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to public services beyond
that identified in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum. Therefore no new mitigation measures are
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 proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements. The proposed Project would result in a

relatively even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of
existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent
facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center. hnpacts
associated with recreation facilities were analyzed and addressed in the FEIS /EIR and
Addendum.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the Program
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS /EIR and Addendum concluded that there would
be no significant unavoidable impacts related to recreation facilities. Additionally, the
proposed Project would not result in a substantial increase in the severity of impacts to
recreation facilities beyond that identified in the FEIS /EIR 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?
-19-
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 -02
Page 20
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
The proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements. The proposed Project would result in a
relatively even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of
existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent
facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
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 4.12 -6 of the FEIS /EIR 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 the development and remainder of the neighborhood. The construction of the
required Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements associated with this Project
will not result in added ADTs.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe impacts
would result from implementation of the Project 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?
-20-
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Sixth Amendment to DDA 04 -02

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?
The proposed Project would continue to allow for the construction of required Tustin
Legacy backbone infrastructure improvements. The proposed Project would result in a
relatively even land exchange of improved property and result in the replacement of
existing temporary parking, circulation, and landscape improvements with permanent
facilities to better facilitate the operation of The District shopping center.
Development activities associated with the Project have been previously considered within
the Program FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. 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 overall development of WAS Tustin Specific Plan, including
water, sewer, drainage, electricity, natural gas, telephone, cable television, and solid waste
management. In accordance with the FEIS /EIR and Addendum, most developers are
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 Project would not result in new or
substantially more severe impacts than what was evaluated in the FEIS /EIR and Addendum.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe impacts
would result from implementation of the Project; therefore, no new or revised mitigation
measures are required.

XVIL 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 and Addendum previously considered all environmental impacts
associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
and the proposed Project. With the enforcement of the FEIS /EIR and Addendum
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 overall development Project, including 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
Project does not create any impacts that have not been previously addressed by the
FEIS /EIR and Addendum.

CONCLUSION
The proposed Project's effects for construction of The District at Tustin Legacy shopping
center were previously examined in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin and Addendum. 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.
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.
