Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS /EIR) for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin
On December 6 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No 04 -76 approving a Supplement to
the FEIS /EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and the future
alignment of Valencia North Loop Road On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No
06-43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS /EIR The FEIS /EIR along with its Supplemental and
Addendum is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) The
FEIS /EIR, Supplemental and Addendum considered the potential environmental impacts
associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin
An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed project that concluded no additional
environmental impacts would occur from approval of the project The Environmental Analysis
Checklist concludes that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in
question may have a significant effect on the environment because all potentially significant effects
1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have
been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures
that are imposed upon the proposed project
Further Government Code Section 65457 subdivision (a), establishes a statutory CEQA
exemption for any residential development project including any subdivision, or zoning change
that is undertaken to implement and is consistent with a specific plan for which an EIR was
certified after January 1, 1980 the City has alternatively determined that the proposed project

Concept Plan 2012 002 /Design Review 2012 004
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan requires all projects proposed within Planning Area 13 to obtain
City Concept Plan and Design Review approval The Concept Plan process is intended to
permit a developer to obtain early input on a project's design, site layout, etc prior to creating
more detailed plans that would be subject to Design Review However, the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan permits a developer to concurrently submit a Concept Plan and Design Review
application The project's compliance with the City s Concept Plan and Design Review
requirements is discussed below
Concept Plan 2012 -002
The proposed project is a medium high density apartment project that has incorporated
Italianate design elements that includes technically sophisticated horizontal design elements
and colors that visually reduce the scale of the structure to a residential pedestrian level, add
warmth, and increase the residential feel of the project The project also includes a resort
quality pool and spa facility, fitness center business center, leasing offices and other satellite
resident amenities located throughout the apartment community The project has sufficient
access to surrounding public and private roadways which the developer has agreed to construct
as part of the DDA

developments in Chapter 3),
• Conformity with the Non - Residential Land Use/Trip Budget including authorized
adjustments (Note this criteria is not applicable since the project is a multi- family
residential use) and
• Compliance with other Specific Plan provisions (Note project compliance with MCAS
Tustin development requirements is documented on the attached Land Use Fact Sheet
provided as Attachment B except as identified within the Concessions and Incentives"
section of this report)
Design Review 2012 -004
The proposed project includes
• Six 3 -story buildings and eight, 4 story buildings totaling 533 apartment units
• Several ancillary buildings including a community recreation building, carports, etc
• 342 1- bedroom units (589 -766 square feet)
• 191 2 bedroom units (928 -1,171 square feet)
The Commercial Core area of Planning Area 13 in Neighborhood D of Tustin Legacy is intended
to be developed as a very urban place with taller commercial, office, and residential structures
oriented toward the streets Consequently, the proposal's 4 -story structures are oriented along
the perimeter of the site facing the adjacent streets and sidewalks with the 3 -story structures,
pool and common area oriented in the center of the site The juxtaposition of the 4 -story
buildings along the site s perimeter against the 3 story central structures creates visual interest
in the buildings and views of the site utilizing a variety of horizontal and vertical changes in
plane but also creates an inviting and peaceful central living space, intentionally placed apart
from the surrounding urban uses and activities The project has Italianate design elements
including concrete roof tiles earth tone stucco, a variety of aesthetic enhancements including
window treatments balconies cornices, trim elements, and incorporating varied colors,
materials and finishes The project is proposed to utilize two driveway access points one from
the future Park Avenue and one from the future Warner Avenue 1,062 parking spaces are
being provided including 724 covered parking spaces
The proposed project's design satisfies the following general architectural and site design
principles in that
• The buildings define and relate to the street edge with architecture to face the streets
• The buildings frame and define public space with an especially strong relationship
between the building and street
• The architecture is technically sophisticated in detailing
• There is a rich palette of natural materials and textures

In addition, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3 6 2 J identifies the following development
guidelines for Planning Area 13 (Disposition Package 2A) as follows
1 View windows into the Planning Area from Warner Avenue and Tustin Ranch Road are
incorporated into the site planning for the project
2 Creative site planning is accomplished for this site given its prominent location within the
Specific Plan Careful consideration has been given to building site location, attention to
views, relationships to surrounding uses and open spaces
The project complies with the requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (except as
authorized by any approved Concessions and Incentives discussed later in this report) In
addition, the proposed project s location, size, architectural features and general appearance is
orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or future development therein, the
occupancy thereof, or the community as a whole, based upon a consideration of the following
criteria
(1) Height bulk and area of buildings
(2) Setbacks and site planning
(3) Exterior materials and colors

at Tustin Legacy, and surrounded by streets on all sides A condition of approval has been
included to ensure Police and Fire personnel ease of access Section 3 13 1 G of the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan provides specific design criteria that must be considered before approving a
community gate which staff believes have been met by the proposed project
"Gates which limit or control access to parking areas require special consideration as their
design can significantly impact the parking demand and usage and the vehicular circulation
on a site Gates shall be designed in accordance with City standards and guidelines and
shall require approval through the Design Review process The applicant shall submit to the
City a plan addressing the following issues
1 Type and operation of the gate including location of visitor call box
2 Adequacy of vehicle stacking area at gate including vehicle turn - around area
3 Effect of gate on parking usage and distribution on -site
4 Effect of gate on parking for surrounding or adjacent areas
5 Effect of gate on street operations at the entrances to the gated street

The proposed project requests City Council approval of a density transfer The Irvine Company,
LLC has worked with St Anton Partners, LLC (a respondent - developer approved by the City of
Tustin to develop 225 apartments within Disposition Package 1A -North in Planning Area 15
Neighborhood G of Tustin Legacy) in this effort The St Anton /Irvine Company proposal
requests the transfer of 120 of 157 affordable housing units from Disposition Package 2A to
Disposition Package 1A -North with 120 market rate units to be transferred from Disposition
Package 1A -North to Disposition Package 2A If the request to transfer units is approved by the
Tustin City Council, Disposition Package 1A -North would ultimately result in the development of
225 affordable residential apartment units (88 very low income, 73 low income, and 64
moderate income), and Disposition Package 2A would ultimately result in the development of
533 residential apartment units, including 37 moderate - income units and 496 market rate units

The Irvine Company has extensive experience owning and operating large apartment
communities Staff believes that the currently proposed Density Transfer is an innovative
approach to providing a significant number of affordable units at Tustin Legacy Density
Transfers may only be approved by the Tustin City Council Consequently staff is
recommending that the City Council approve the requested Density Transfer with a condition
that St Anton Partners and The Irvine Company enter into an Affordable Housing /Regulatory
Agreement with the City of Tustin to ensure availability of the 225 and 37 affordable apartment
units (respectively) for 55 years City Council approval of Resolution No 12 -93 would authorize
the Tustin City Manager to execute the Affordable Housing /Regulatory Agreement on behalf of
the City (Attachment H)
Density Bonus, Concessions and Incentives
The Irvine Company and St Anton Partners are cumulatively proposing the development of 262
Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income affordable units representing 46% of the total proposal
(568 units pre - Density Bonus) and 306 market -rate units Pursuant to state density bonus law
(California Government Code Section 65915(1)) the applicants have requested City of Tustin
approval for 190 density bonus units as summarized below

MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3 6 2 1 requires the development of affordable housing units
within Planning Area 13, including Disposition Package 2A The Specific Plan currently requires
196 affordable units within Neighborhood D The proposed project is the first development
within the Neighborhood D and proposes a significant portion (157 units) of the 196 -unit
requirement (Note 120 affordable units /120 market -rate units are proposed to be exchanged
between Disposition Package 1A North and Disposition Package 2A respectively) If the current
proposal is approved future development projects in Neighborhood D would be required to
address the remaining 39 -unit affordable housing requirement Affordable housing units are
also required to be reasonably dispersed and located in attached projects only In addition
affordable units must be compatible with the design and use of market rate units in appearance
use of materials, and finished quality As noted previously an Affordable Housing Covenant
and Regulatory Agreement is required to ensure that the affordable units remain available to
low- income households for a minimum of 55 years
Tustin City Council approval of the previously discussed Density Transfer request would result
in 120 affordable units being constructed at Disposition Package 1A -North The 37 affordable
units proposed to remain at Disposition Package 2A -North are intended for moderate - income
households When considered in the context of the overall reuse project at Tustin Legacy and
Planning Area 13 as a whole and given St Anton's expertise in operating large affordable
communities for Disposition Package 1A -North staff recommends that the proposed project
should be supported
Density Bonus
California Government Code Section 65915(1) established regulations concerning the granting
of a density bonus, and associated incentives and concessions in order to eliminate zoning
constraints or restrictions that inhibit the production of affordable housing In compliance with
Section 65915(1) the proposed project is also subject to Tustin City Code Section 9121(a)
which states The City shall grant one (1) density bonus , and a concession(s) or
incentive(s) when an applicant seeks and agrees to construct [an affordable] housing
development "
Tustin City Code Section 9122(1) provides a formula for calculating the amount of density bonus
to which an applicant is entitled which varies by the percentage of affordable housing units
proposed However Tustin City Code Section 9122 authorizes the City to grant a maximum
density bonus only up to 35 percent The formula calculation for the proposed density bonus is

As previously noted, the proposed project is subject to Tustin City Code Section 9121(a) which
states The City shall grant one (1) density bonus and a concession(s) or incentive(s) when
an applicant seeks and agrees to construct [an affordable] housing development " Incentives
and concessions are also intended to facilitate the development of affordable housing by
eliminating zoning constraints or restrictions etc that inhibit affordable housing Incentives or
concessions may include a reduction of site development standards or a modification of zoning
code requirements or architectural design requirements including, but not limited to
• Reduced minimum lot size
• Reduced minimum setbacks
• Reduced minimum street standards such as reduced minimum street width
• Increased maximum lot coverage
• Increased building height
• Reduced ratio of vehicular parking spaces that would otherwise be required
• Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the applicant or the City
that result in identifiable, financially sufficient and actual cost reductions
Tustin City Code Section 9123b provides a formula for calculating the number of concessions
and incentives that may be granted to a proposed project Pursuant to Section 9123b, any
proposal that includes over 15% Very Low Income units may request up to the three (3)
incentives The cumulative project proposes to construct 88 Very Low Income units out of 568
total units (16 percent rounded up) which qualifies the project for three (3)
incentives /concessions Also, Tustin City Code Section 9125 permits the City Council to grant
additional assistance to ensure that the development of affordable housing is facilitated
including the granting of additional incentives

Parcel Map 2012 -136
Section 66426 of the Subdivision Map Act requires a parcel map for proposed divisions of land
containing four or Tess parcels The Irvine Company is proposing to reduce the parcel
configuration of Disposition Package 2A from four parcels to two parcels and has submitted
Tentative Parcel Map 2012 -136 for City action The City's Engtneenng Division has reviewed
Parcel Map 2012 -136 and determined that it is technically correct
The City of Tustin has established standards for determining land requirements for future park
sites within the Conservation /Open Space /Recreation Element of the General Plan and in
Tustin's City Code For typical residential developments, a developer has the option of
dedicating parkland, providing an equivalent value of park improvements, and/or paying in lieu
fees based on the formulas contained in the City Code However the City of Tustin has
previously obtained all of the property necessary for future community and neighborhood
parklands through conveyance from the federal government following closure of the base
Therefore, as a condition of approval for a final tract map or parcel map, a developer will
typically be required to pay fees or provide park improvements for the conveyed parkland, in
accordance with the Tustin City Code or improvements as may be negotiated pursuant to a
Disposition and Development Agreement The Disposition and Development Agreement
between the City of Tustin and The Irvine Company will include a requirement for the applicant
to fund its Fair Share Contribution of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program,
including any park related fees

APPLICATION FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 2012 -136 TO CONSTRUCT 533
MULTI - FAMILY RESIDENTAIL APPARTMENT HOMES WITH RELATED AMENITIES
AT DEVELOPMENT PARCEL 2A, WITH IN THE TUSTIN LEGACY SITE
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your submitted of the
Parcel map for the above - mentioned project. The following project description is stated in
your letter:
The project involves construction of 533 multi - family residential homes (Medium —High
Density Residential) with related amenities at Development Parcel 2A.
Based on the review of the submitted document DTSC has the following comments:
Parcel 2A where Irvine Company is proposing to build 533 multi - family residential
apartments and homes is part of the original Parcel 14, which the Navy transferred to the
City of Tustin. This parcel is located south of the south hanger. Two Areas of Concern
MWA -19 and TOW -17 received regulatory concurrence and received no further action
(NFA). One Former Underground Storage Tank (UST -543) also received NFA. Building
543 is demolished.
During grading or other construction activities Irvine Company may encounter additional
contamination at Parcel 2A. Irvine Company should identify the mechanism to initiate
any required investigation and /or remediation at the site, and the government agency to
provide appropriate regulatory oversight. If necessary, DTSC would require an oversight
agreement in order to provide oversight. Any additional contamination found should be
cleaned up to residential standards before residential development could occur.

Dear Mr. Ogdon:
Thank you for your letter of August 29, 2012, in regard to tentative parcel map 2012 -136. We
appreciate the recent staff discussions regarding alternatives to provide grades K -12 school facilities
for generated students within and relating to the build -out of Tustin Legacy.
Our concern is that this specific development will generate approximately 150 K -12 students and
the impact it will have on our current facilities and the District. Any additional details in regard to
this project and any other development(s) that may impact the District in the immediate future
would be appreciated.
District staff is looking forward to discussing this timely project and other future development(s) at
Tustin Legacy.
Please feel free to contact us as to any additional information desired.
Very truly yours,

John Wayne Airport:
The proposed Project will consist of 533 multi - family residential apartment homes with related
amenities for the Tustin Legacy site. The Project is located within the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR)
Part 77 Notification Surface and the Obstruction Imaginary Surfaces for 1WA. Prior to the initiation of
any construction on the property, the applicant should file FAA Form 7460 -1 with the FAA Regional
Office in order for that agency to determine any potential impact by the Project upon navigable airspace
surround 1WA. In addition, once building heights are established for the proposed Project, they should
be reviewed to ensure that structures erected on the property do not penetrate the conical surfaces for
1 WA.

INCLUDING 37 MODERATE- INCOME AFFORDABLE
UNITS, AT DISPOSITION PACKAGE 2A, TUSTIN LEGACY
(THE IRVINE COMPANY, LLC). AND THAT THE CITY HAS
ALTERNATIVELY DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED
PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM FURTHER CEQA REVIEW
PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65457.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. That The Irvine Company and City of Tustin have completed and desire to
enter into Disposition and Development Agreement 2012 -001, and The
Irvine Company has submitted a proper application for DA 2012 -001, CP
2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and
Concessions or Incentives authorized under Tustin City Code Section
9123, and Tentative PM 2012 -136 requesting authorization to develop 533
multi - family residential apartment homes, including 37 moderate - income
affordable units in compliance with California Government Code Section
65915(1), at Disposition Package 2A, Tustin Legacy, to be implemented
by The Irvine Company or its affiliate as may be approved by the City of
Tustin.
B. That the site is zoned as Planning Area 13, Community Core,
Neighborhood D in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (SP -1); and designated
MCAS Tustin (MCAS) by the Tustin General Plan. In addition, the project
City Council Resolution No. 12 -95
Page 2
has been reviewed for consistency with the Air Quality Sub - element of the
City of Tustin General Plan and has been determined to be consistent with
the Air Quality Sub - element.
C. That on January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin Certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS /EIR)
for the disposal and reuse of MCAS Tustin pursuant to, among other
things, the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan /Reuse Plan. On December 6,
2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 04 -76 approving the
Supplement to the FEIS /EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road
between Walnut Avenue and the future alignment of Valencia North Loop
Road. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06 -43
approving an Addendum to the FEIS /EIR for modifications to the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan /Reuse Plan. The FEIS /EIR, Supplement to the
FEIS /EIR, and Addendum are collectively referred to as the "Prior
Environmental Review."
D. That the City prepared an environmental checklist and determined that the
proposed project is within the scope of the Prior Environmental Review.
There are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions
to the Prior Environmental Review, substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will
require major revisions to the Prior Environmental Review, or any new
information which was not known and could not have been known at the
time the Prior Environmental Review was certified showing that: (1) the
project will have any new significant effects; (2) significant effects
previously examined will be substantially more severe; (3) mitigation
measures or alternatives previously determined to be infeasible will now
be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
of the project but the City declined to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative; or (4) mitigation measures or alternatives considerably
different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce one or
more significant effects on the environment, but the City declined to adopt
the mitigation measure or alternative. (Public Resources Code § 21166;
Cal. Code Regs., Tit. 14, §§ 15168, 15162.) The City has therefore
determined that no further environmental review is required.
E. That Government Code Section 65457, subdivision (a), establishes a
statutory CEQA exemption for any residential development project,
including any subdivision, or zoning change that is undertaken to
implement and is consistent with a specific plan for which an EIR was
certified after January 1, 1980. The exemption does not apply if an event
specified in Public Resources Code Section 21166 occurs, unless and
until a supplemental environmental impact report is certified. Here, the
proposed project implements and is consistent with the MCAS Tustin
City Council Resolution No. 12 -95
Page 3
Specific Plan / Reuse Plan. The FEIS /EIR for the reuse of MCAS Tustin
pursuant to, among other things, the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan /Reuse
Plan, was certified January 16, 2001. And, as set forth above, the City
prepared an environmental checklist and determined that none of the
events specified in Public Resources Code Section 21166 have occurred.
On this basis, the City has alternatively determined that the proposed
project is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to Government
Code Section 65457.
F. That in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the checklist provided as Attachment 1 to Resolution
No. 12 -95 has been considered and found to be complete and adequate
prior to approving the project as proposed.
G. That on October 16, 2012, the Tustin City Council continued the matter to
an adjourned regular meeting on October 30, 2012.
H. That on October 30, 2012, the Tustin City Council continued the matter to
a regular meeting on November 6, 2012.
II. The Tustin City Council hereby finds the Project is within the scope of the
previously approved MCAS Tustin Final Program EIS /EIR previously certified on
January 16, 2001, as amended by Supplement and Addendum and that no new
effects could occur and no new mitigation measures would be required and an
additional environmental analysis, action or document is not required by the
CEQA. The City has alternatively determined that the proposed project is exempt
from further CEQA review pursuant to Government Code Section 65457.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Tustin at an adjourned regular
meeting held on the 6th day of November, 2012.

D. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
See Attached
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
L 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 anew source of substantial light or glare which
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:
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?
III. AIR OUALITY: 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

quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number
of people?

DEVELOPMENT OF TUSTIN LEGACY DISPOSITION PACKAGE 2A - 37 MODERATE UNIT
INCOME UNITS AND 496 MARKET RATE UNITS (FOR A TOTAL OF 533 RESIDENTIAL
APARTMENT UNITS)
BACKGROUND
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS /EIR) for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin.
On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06 -43 approving an Addendum to the
FEIS /EIR. And, on December 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 04 -76
approving a Supplement to the FEIS /EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road between
Walnut Avenue and the future alignment of Valencia North Loop Road (collectively, 'Prior
Environmental Review "). The FEIS /EIR along with its Addendum and Supplement is a program
EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS /EIR, Addendum and
Supplement considered the potential environmental impacts associated with development on
the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin.
The FEIS /EIR, Addendum and Supplement 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 (referred to in this document as the Specific 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.
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan proposed and the FEIS /EIR analyzed a multi -year development
period for the planned urban reuse project (Tustin Legacy). When individual discretionary
activities within the Specific Plan are proposed, the lead agency is required to examine the
individual activities to determine if their effects were fully analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. The agency
can approve the activities as being within the scope of the project covered by the FEIS /EIR. If
the agency finds that pursuant to Sections 15162, 15163, 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 EIR is
required.
The project site is approximately 21.735 acres (gross) located within the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan boundaries affecting only Disposition Package 2A, which is an irregular parcel within
Planning Area 13 of Neighborhood D. The project site is bounded by future Warner Avenue on
the north, future Park Avenue on the south, and existing Tustin Ranch Road on the east.
The proposed development of Tustin Legacy Disposition Package 2A is to construct 533 multi-
family residential apartment homes ('Project'). The proposal requests City of Tustin
consideration of Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) 2012 -001, Development
Agreement (DA) 2012 -001, Concept Plan (CP) 2012 -002, Design Review (DR) 2012 -004,
Density Transfer, Density Bonus, Concessions or Incentives authorized under Tustin City Code
Section 9123 related to the provision of affordable housing units in compliance with California
Government Code Section 65915(1), and Parcel Map (PM) 2012 -136.

The Project proposes to develop 533 multi - family residential apartment homes including 157
affordable units (53 very low income, 53 low income and 51 moderate income), which qualifies
the Project for a density bonus concessions or incentives authorized under Tustin City Code
Section 9123 related to the provision of affordable housing units in compliance with California
Government Code Section 65915(1). In addition, the Project applicant has partnered with St.
Anton Partners, LLC, an affordable housing provider approved by the City of Tustin to develop
Disposition Package 1A -North in Planning Area 15, and requested the transfer of 120 of the 157
affordable housing units from Disposition Package 2A to Disposition Package 1A -North with 120
market rate units requested to be transferred from Disposition Package 1A -North to Disposition
Package 2A. Should the Tustin City Council approve the transfer request, the proposed
development of Disposition Package 2A would include 37 moderate unit income units and 496
market rate units (for a total of 533 residential apartment units), and the proposed development
of Disposition Package 1A -North would include a total of 225 affordable residential apartment
units (88 very low income, 73 low income, and 64 moderate income). The proposed use is
consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The final propose allocation of units is as follows:

In accordance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Planning Area 13 allows Medium -High
Density Residential at 16 -25 dwelling units per acre. The Project proposes a density of 25
dwelling units per acre. Due to the fact that the Site 2A/Site 1A -North projects propose 262 of
758 total units as affordable rental units (35 %), the combined projects include (and qualify for) a
request for density bonus, concessions or incentives authorized under Tustin City Code Section
9123 related to the provision of affordable housing units in compliance with California
Government Code Section 65915(1).
An Environmental Analysis Checklist has been completed and it has been determined that this
Project is within the scope of the Prior Environmental Review and that pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21166 and Title 14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15162
and 15168(c), there are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions to the
Prior Environmental Review , substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions to the Prior
Environmental Review, or any new information which was not known and could not have been
known at the time the Prior Environmental Review was certified showing that: (1) the project will
have any new significant effects; (2) significant effects previously examined will be substantially
more severe; (3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously determined to be infeasible will
now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project but
the City declined to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (4) mitigation measures or
alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the City declined to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative.. Accordingly, no new environmental document is required by CEQA.
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist.

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 proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The project
is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. The development of
residential apartment units within Planning Area 13 were considered within the FEIS /EIR
and will have no negative aesthetic effect on the site when mitigation measures identified
in the FEIS /EIR are incorporated with approval of the project. All exterior design is
required to be in compliance with Section 2.17.3(A) — Urban Design Guidelines for
Residential Development of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, and the Landscape Concept
Section 2.17.2 as it relates to Warner Avenue, Park Avenue, and existing Tustin Ranch
Road on the east. and primary street corners and project entries. The proposal includes a
design review and concept plan application, which requires that the Planning Commission
and City Council review and ensure the design of the project, if approved, is found to be
cohesive and in harmony with surrounding uses. All exterior lighting would be designed to
reduce glare, create a safe night environment, and avoid impacts to surrounding
properties in compliance with Section 2.17.3 (A) of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the
City's Security Ordinance. The proposed project will result in no substantial changes to
the environmental impacts previously evaluated with the certified Program FEIS /EIR, the
Supplemental and Addendum.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to aesthetics. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR,
the Supplemental or Addendum were certified as completed.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts nor substantially more severe aesthetic
impacts would result from the adoption and implementation of the Project; therefore, no
new or revised mitigation measures are required for aesthetics and visual quality. No
refinements related to the Project are necessary to the FEIS /EIR mitigation measures
and no new mitigation measures are required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the

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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. As
documented in the FEIS /EIR, the project site is part of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan that
contained 702 acres of farmland. The FEIS /EIR concluded that there would be no viable
long -term mitigation to off -set the impact of converting farmland on MCAS Tustin to urban
uses.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to agricultural resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR, the Supplemental or Addendum were certified as completed.
MitigatiorVMonitoring Required. Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS /EIR. However, the FEIS /EIR also concluded that
Reuse Plan related impacts to farmland were significant and impossible to fully mitigate. A

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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. As
documented in the FEIS /EIR, the project is part of a larger reuse project at Tustin Legacy
that was projected to result in air quality impacts that cannot be fully mitigated. A
Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001. The site is presently not in use. The project applicant
proposes to construct within the maximum allowable density of the site (16 -25 dwelling
units). Therefore, no significant impact beyond what was analyzed in the adopted
FEIS /EIR is anticipated. Although the project is within the maximum density, the project
(St. Anton's proposed development of Disposition Site 1A -North and The Irvine Company's
proposed development of Disposition Site 2A) is proposing 262 affordable units and
qualifies for density bonus and concessions or incentives. The City must support density
bonus requests, concessions or incentives when projects provide affordable housing
units in compliance with California Government Code Section 65915(1), as authorized
under Tustin City Code Section 9123.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to air quality. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project
is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial

importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives that was not
known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Mondoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS /EIR. However, the FEIS /EIR also concluded that
Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant and impossible to fully
mitigate. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by the
Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.

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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The
FEIS /EIR 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. The proposed project is within the scope of development considered with the
analysis of the FEIS /EIR, the Supplemental and Addendum for MCAS Tustin. The

FEIS /EIR determined that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan (including the proposed project) could impact jurisdictional waterstwetlands and the
southwestern pond turtle or have an impact on jurisdictional waters/wetlands. The project
site has been surveyed, and turtles were captured and moved off the site to another
location as directed and overseen by the California Department of Fish and Game. Since
that time, all former Marine Corps base drainage channels in the area were removed and
graded by the former owner of the property with the required 401, 404 and 1601 permits
issued by Fish and Game, Army Corps of Engineers, and Regional Water Quality Control
Board. Consequently, the proposed project would not affect the southwestern pond turtle
or have an impact on jurisdictional waters or wetlands. No substantial change is expected
from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other

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 proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.

It should be noted that the former MCAS Tustin contained two National Register listed
blimp hangars, and several concrete or asphalt blimp landing pads that were considered
historically or culturally significant, pursuant to the federal Section 106 process
conducted at the site. Through the Section 106 process, these facilities were identified as
part of a discontiguous Historic District. The Navy, State Office of Historic Preservation
(SHPO), and Advisory Council executed a Memorandum of Agreement (attached as part of
the EIS /EIR) with City of Tustin and County of Orange as invited signatories that allowed for
the destruction of the blimp pads. The EIS /EIR noted that it may not be financially feasible
to retain the blimp hangers and there may be irreversible significant impacts. A Statement
of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on
January 16, 2001. Consistent with the above referenced agreement, the previous owner of
the property removed the blimp pad from the project site and leveled the property.
However, no portion of the previously existing blimp landing pads nor the existing blimp
hangars are located within the project site boundary.
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 grading and construction activities. With the inclusion of
mitigation measures 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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to cultural resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the
Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified as
complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS /EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
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 insubstantial 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 (1994), 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 proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The
FEIS /EIR 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 lurching, seismically induced settlement, and flooding
associated with dam failure." However, the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin also 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. No substantial change is expected for
development of the project from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for
MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to geology and soils. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously

the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or

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?
Q 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 proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. 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. In addition, construction and residential uses would not emit hazardous
emissions within a quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The Navy conveyed the
property in 2002 as unrestricted and suitable for residential reuse.

In addition, the project site is located within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land
Use Plan; however, it is at least four (4) miles from John Wayne Airport, and does not lie
within a flight approach or departure corridor and thus does not pose an aircraft - related
safety hazard for future residents or workers. The project site is also not located in a
wildland fire danger area. Compliance with all federal, state and local regulations
concerning handling and use of household hazardous substances will reduce potential
impacts to below a level of significance. No substantial change is expected from the
analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to hazards and hazardous materials. Specifically, there have not been: (1)
changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR, the Supplemental or Addendum were certified as completed.
Mitigation Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS /EIR, compliance with existing rules
and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is required.

Page 12
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?
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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The
project design and construction of facilities to fully contain drainage of the site would be
required as conditions of approval of the project and submitted /approved Water Quality
Management Plan. No long -term impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated for
the proposed project. The proposed housing project will also not impact groundwater in the
deep regional aquifer or shallow aquifer. The proposed project would not include
groundwater removal or alteration of historic drainage patterns at the site. The project is
not located within a 100 -year flood area and 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 the proposed project susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or
mudflow.
Construction operations 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). 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. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section

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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable Medium -High Density residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income
units and 496 market rate units) on 21.735 gross acres, at 24.52 dwelling units per acre,
which is less that the allowable density of the site (16 -25 dwelling units) as identified in the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific
Plan, and the number of dwelling units proposed by the Project is under the maximum
development threshold for Planning Area 13, which contemplates the development of
891 dwelling units in total. The City of Tustin is the controlling authority over
implementation of the Reuse Plan for the former base, such as land use designations,
zoning categories, recreation and open space areas, 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 complies with
Planning Area 13's development standards for multiple family residential units as noted in
Sections 3.6.2.G of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Although the Project is within the
maximum density, when combined with St. Anton's proposed development of Disposition
Site 1A -North the two projects collectively propose 262 affordable units and qualify for
density bonus and concessions or incentives. The City must support density bonus
requests, concessions or incentives when projects provide affordable housing units in
compliance with California Government Code Section 65915(1), as authorized under
Tustin City Code Section 9123. 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. Consequently, no change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to land use and planning. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR, the Supplemental or Addendum were certified as completed.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The proposed project is consistent with the development
standards of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan as identified by the adopted FEIS /EIR. No
mitigation is required.

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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. Chapter 3.9
of the FEIS /EIR indicates 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

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?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The
proposed project could result in implementation activities that generate noise. The
FEIS /EIR indicates that full build -out of the base will create noise impacts that would be

considered significant if noise levels experienced by sensitive receptors would exceed
those considered "normally acceptable" for the applicable land use categories in the Noise
Elements of the Tustin General Plan. The applicant has submitted a Noise Impact Study
for the project that indicates that additional mitigation will not be required (Source: see
Attachment 1). However, the City of Tustin will ensure that construction activities comply
with the City's Noise Ordinance and that the proposed multi - family housing units are
designed with adequate noise attenuation (i.e., window design, sound walls) to meet the
allowable noise levels as required by Tustin City Code for residential use. The applicant
has also prepared a noise analysis for the project to ensure that the residential units would
be sound attenuated against present and projected noise so as not to exceed an exterior
noise standard of 65 dB CNEL in outdoor living areas and an interior standard of 45 dB
CNEL in all habitable rooms to reduce noise - related impacts to a level of insignificance.
Compliance with adopted mitigation measures and state and local regulations and
standards, along with established engineering procedures and techniques, will avoid
unacceptable risk or the creation of significant impacts related to such hazards.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to noise. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require
major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the
Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR,
the Supplemental or Addendum were certified as completed.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS /EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

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 development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). Although the project is the maximum density, the project (St. Anton's proposed
development of Disposition Site 1A -North and The Irvine Company's proposed
development of Disposition Site 2A is proposing 262 affordable units and qualifies for
density bonus and concessions or incentives. The proposed use is consistent with the
approved Specific Plan, and the number of dwelling units proposed is under the
maximum development threshold for Planning Area 13, which contemplates the
development of 891 dwelling units in total. The City must support density bonus requests,
concessions or incentives when projects provide affordable housing units in compliance
with California Government Code Section 65915(1), as authorized under Tustin City
Code Section 9123. Additionally, the proposed project site is vacant and will not displace
people or necessitate construction of replacement housing elsewhere. No substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR for MCAS
Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to population and housing. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of

FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the

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 development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The site is
currently vacant. Development of the site would require public services such as fire and
police protection services, schools, libraries, recreation facilities, and biking /hiking trails.

Page 18
Fire Protection. The proposed project will be required to meet existing Orange County
Fire Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding demolition, 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 fire stations existing and planned in the
area surrounding the site will meet the demands created by the proposed project.
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population estimates, square footage of non - residential uses, etc. Development of
the site would increase the need for police protection services. The developer as a
condition of approval for the project would be required to work with the Tustin Police
Department to ensure that adequate security precautions such as visibility, lighting,
emergency access, address signage are implemented in the project at plan check.
Schools. The proposed project is located within Tustin Unified School District (TUSD).
The implementation of the Reuse Plan would provide two 10 -acre sites for elementary
schools and a 40 -acre high school site to serve the growing student population within its
district. Based on the student generation factors of 0.29 per unit for grades K -5; 0.127
student per units for grades 6 -8; 0.153 student per unit for grades 9 -12, and the potential
of 2,585 dwelling units developed within the TUSD boundaries, the adopted EIS /EIR
noted that reuse development would generate approximately 750 students for grades K-
5, 328 students for grades 6 -8, and 395 students for grades 9 -12 for a total of 1,473
students.
The total number of units approved in the Specific Plan for Planning Area 13 is 891
units. The applicant is requesting approval of 533 units (representing 60% of the total
number of units allowed in Planning Area 13). No other residential units have been
previously built in Planning Area 13. The TUSD will receive its statutory school impact
fees per Senate Bill 50 from the proposed residential development of the site. As a
condition of approval for the project, the developer will be required to pay applicable
school fees prior to issuance of the building permit. In summary, no new additional
students are anticipated beyond what was considered in the FEIR/EIS for the Disposal
and Reuse of MCAS, Tustin, and in any event, City required mitigation is limited by State
law to requiring payment of the SB 50 school impact fees.
Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Implementation of the entire Reuse Plan would only
result in a library demand of up to approximately 2,500 square feet of library space. This
relatively small amount of space is well below the library system's general minimum size of
10,000 square feet for a branch library and would not trigger the need for a new facility.
General Implementation Requirements: 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 proposed project will be required to comply with FEIS /EIR
implementation measures adopted by the Tustin City Council.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to public services. Specifically, there have not

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 development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. Since the
Reuse Plan process included public conveyance of city parks and an Urban Regional Park,
individual developers were relieved of the requirement to dedicate land for park purposes.
However, the proposed project includes a request for City approval of Parcel Map 2012-
136. Projects that propose the subdivision of property are subject to the provisions of the
Quimby Act and are required to provide in -lieu fees or publicly accessible park space
(where approved by the City). In this case, the Disposition and Development Agreement
between the City and the developer will require that payment of park in -lieu fees will be
collected from the private developer as part of the conveyance transaction process.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to recreation. Specifically, there have not been: (1)
changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the

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 result 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 proposed development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan, and the
number of dwelling units proposed is under the maximum development threshold for
Planning Area 13, which contemplates the development of 891 dwelling units in total.
The FEIS /EIR indicates that transportation and circulation impacts would be created
through the phased 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. The FEIS /EIR
indicates that traffic circulation activities at MCAS Tustin generated a baseline of 12,400
ADT when the base was fully operational (1993). As a military facility, the FEIS /EIR
considered the traffic impact and developed a mitigation program to reduce potential

impacts to a level of insignificance. This site will be conditioned to participate in its fair
share responsibility for both on -site and off -site circulation mitigation and implementation
measures. In addition, construction activities are required to be meet all Transportation
related FEIS /EIR Implementation and Mitigation Measures (e.g., lane closures, street/utility
construction, construction vehicle traffic, etc.). The FEIS /EIR implementation and mitigation
measures will reduce potential impacts to the traffic and circulation system to a level of
insignificance. In addition, certain public infrastructure is required to be constructed by the
developer as a requirement of the DDA. Also, a parking assessment and gate design
analysis was submitted by the applicant which indicates that the project will not adversely
impact parking and circulation within or outside the project area (See Attachment 2).
Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed
in the approved FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.

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?
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?

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 development of Disposition Package 2A would include a total of 533
affordable residential apartment units (37 moderate unit income units and 496 market
rate units). The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. The
FEIR/EIR analyzed medium -high residential development on the proposed site, which is
consistent with the proposed project. Development of the site would require on -site
improvements and off -site infrastructure improvements to utilities and roadway systems,
including design and construction of improvements on Tustin Ranch Road, Warner
Avenue Road and Park Avenue. In addition, certain public infrastructure will be
constructed by the applicant which may include storm drain, domestic water, reclaimed
water, sanitary sewer, and dry utility service systems necessary to serve the site, and
landscape and irrigation on in the public right -of -way. Also, development of the site is
required to meet federal, state, and local standards for design of wastewater treatment.
The number of proposed units can be supported by the Irvine Ranch Water District for
domestic water and sewer services.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or

changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial importance

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?
Based upon the foregoing, the proposed project does not have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitats or wildlife populations to
decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. With the enforcement of
FEIS /EIR mitigation and implementation measures approved by the Tustin City Council, the
proposed project does not cause unmitigated environmental effects that will cause
substantial effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the proposed
project does have air quality impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of the reuse and redevelopment of
the former MCAS Tustin. The FEIS /EIR, the Supplemental and Addendum previously
considered all environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse
Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The project proposes no substantial changes to
environmental issues previously considered with adoption of the FEIS /EIR. Mitigation
measures were identified in the FEIS /EIR to reduce impact but not to a level of
insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by
the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.
MitigatiorVMonitoring Required: The FEIS /EIR previously considered all environmental
impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS /EIR
and would be included in the project as applicable.

CONCLUSION
The summary concludes that all of the proposed project's effects were previously examined in the
FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin, that no new effects would occur, that no substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects would occur, that no new mitigation measures
would be required, that no applicable mitigation measures previously not found to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and that there are no new mitigation measures or alternatives applicable
to the project that would substantially reduce effects of the project that have not been considered
and adopted. A Mitigation and Monitoring and Reporting Program and Findings of Overriding

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPT
Veneklasen Associates (VA) has completed our noise study of Tustin Legacy Parcel 2A in Tustin California This
report represents the results of our findings
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted to determine the impact of the exterior noise sources on the proposed
residential development and to provide mitigation recommendations required to reduce interior and
exterior noise levels to acceptable limits as set forth in the City General Plan and California State
Building Code Exterior noise levels were predicted at the site Based on these levels interior noise
levels were calculated for proposed residential development Several different types of glazing were
evaluated and the results are presented in this report
The project site is a portion of the Tustin Legacy project The site is bounded by Warner Avenue to the
north, Tustin Ranch Road on the each, Park Avenue to the south, and Legacy Road to the west
2.0 NOISE CRITERIA
CNEL (community noise equivalent level) is the 24 hour equivalent sound pressure level in which the
evening (7 pm — 10 pm) and nighttime (10 pm — 7 am) noise levels are weighted by adding 5 and 10 dB
respectively CNEL is commonly used to evaluate community noise impact in California
The Noise Element of the City of Tustin General Plan, Table N 3 states that the exterior noise standard
is CNEL 65 For multifamily projects, this standard is limited to patios and balconies with a depth of 6
feet or more, and common recreation areas
The Noise Element of the City of Tustin General Plan Table N 3 states that the Interior noise standard
is CNEL 45 This requirement is consistent with the California State Building Code (CBC) section 1207
Mechanical ventilating system or other means of natural ventilation shall be provided per applicable
codes but cannot compromise the acoustical isolation
3.0 EXTERIOR NOISE EXPOSURE
31 Computer Model
To predict exterior noise level due to future traffic volumes VA utilized the California Department of
Transportation Model published by the State of California ( "California Noise Emission Levels" FHWA
CA TL 87/03, January 1987) The model uses traffic volume vehicle mix, vehicle speed, and roadway
geometry and site conditions to compute noise exposure

Exterior Noise Mitigation
The common recreation areas are located in the center of the project and shielded from traffic by
surrounding buildings The noise level at the common areas will be less than CNEL 60 and will
therefore satisfy the City noise standards
Units in Zones A and B have private balconies which may be exposed to noise levels exceed CNEL 65
However these balconies are less than 6 feet in depth and therefore the noise standards do not apply
No exterior noise mitigation is required

4.0 INTERIOR NOISE CALCULATION
4.1 Exterior Facade Construction
VA assumes the exterior wall to be a 2x4 wood stud wall with batt insulation Interior finish will be
one layer of 5/8 inch type x gypsum board and exterior finish will consist of stucco VA s calculations
include the exterior wall construction for the building but indicate that the interior noise levels are
determined by the acoustical Performance of the glazing system
VA utilized the window assemblies shown in Table 4 below The transmission loss values were based
on typical glazing units The actual construction and STC ratings shown may differ Note that the STC
ratings presented are for the entire window assembly including frame and seals

VA also evaluated the noise through the roof of the buildings but found this acoustical path to be
insignificant to the resultant interior noise level
4.2 Average Noise Level (DNL)
VA calculated the interior level within the residential units given the measured noise environment and
the exterior facade construction described above The calculations were based on the floor plans and
elevations provided The results for each location are presented in the Table 6
Table 6— Calculated Future Interior DNL Noise Levels
* Sound rated construction is not required as typical construction practices are sufficient to
satisfy interior noise criteria STC 30, minimum, is recommended but not required
4.3 Mechanical Ventilation Requirement
Because the windows and doors must be kept closed to meet the noise requirements at some
locations, mechanical ventilation is required All units in Zones A and B will require mechanical
ventilation The mechanical ventilation shall meet all Code requirements including the capability to
provide sufficient fresh air exchanges without depending on open windows or leakage through
windows and doors The ventilation system shall not compromise the sound insulation capability of
the exterior facade assembly

Re: APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW 2012 -004, CONCEPT PLAN 2012 -002, DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT 2012 -001, PARCEL MAP 2012 -136, AND INCLUDING CONSIDERATION OF
REQUESTED DENSITY BONUS, CONCESSIONS OR INCENTIVES AUTHORIZED UNDER TUSTIN CITY
CODE SECTION 9123 RELATED TO THE PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65915(1).
Dear Mr. Ogdon,
In Response to your information regarding the gates we are proposing for our project at Tustin Legacy, I
offer the following for your consideration.
1. Exhibits are attached that identify the locations of the call boxes and document the stacking
distances provided for both our Park Avenue and Warner Avenue entries. In responding to
your request we determined that minor revisions to the gate locations and median
configurations were necessary. These exhibits reflect those revisions and supplement our
application materials.
2. Consistent with Orange County guidelines, and presumably City of Tustin guidelines, one
foot of stacking distance is provided for every unit in the project. 247 linear feet is provided
in two lanes at the Park Avenue entry and 287 linear feet is provided in two lanes at the
Warner entry. This creates a total of 534 linear feet of stacking distance. This is consistent
with other Irvine Company projects.
3. As indicated on the exhibits both gated entries provide a turnaround opportunity after the
call box but before the gates. The opening is 25 ft wide.
4. The two gated entries are located on each side of the project providing convenient and well
distributed access to the loop drive and various apartment buildings.
5. The Park Avenue entry gate will remain open during the leasing office business hours.
Typically 8:30am to 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday, Noon to 6:00 pm on Sundays. This
operating approach allows prospective tenants and visitors to easily enter and park in the
visitor parking spaces provided within the project, primarily on the loop drive. The City's
requirement for guest parking is 144 spaces. We are providing 167 spaces, 23 in extra
spaces. We do not believe parking will be allowed by the City an the adjacent perimeter
streets and none is required to adequately serve our project.
6. Since the Park Avenue entry gate will be open during the day, adequate stacking distance is
provided at both gates when they are closed, and the entries distribute the traffic entering
the project evenly, we do not believe that the gates will impact the operation of the
adjacent streets.
Hopefully this information is helpful and if you need anything further, please call me at 949- 720 -2724.
Thanks, i
Bryan

E. That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 4.2.2.A requires the submission
of a Concept Plan prior to or concurrent with the submission of a new
development proposal within Planning Area 13. The project has been
found to comply with the requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan (except as authorized by any approved Concessions and
Incentives). After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin City
Council has determined that the proposed project complies with the
following MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Concept Plan review criteria.
Specifically, the proposed project depicts:
1. Continuity and adequacy of all circulation systems, such as roads,
access points, trails, pedestrian ways, and other infrastructure
systems needed to serve the project;
2. Continuity and design quality of architecture and renovations
proposed, as well as landscape and hardscape theme and
treatments;
3. Satisfactory response to the urban design features specified in
Chapter 2 and under each Planning Area in Chapter 3 (Note: the
proposed project is not changing master planned circulation, utility,
traffic and related assumptions provided in Chapter 2 of the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan. No specific design features are provided for
multi - family developments in Chapter 3);
4. Conformity with the Non - Residential Land UselTrip Budget,
including authorized adjustments (Note: this criteria is not
applicable since the project is a multi - family residential use); and,
5. Compliance with other Specific Plan provisions (Note: project
compliance with MCAS Tustin development requirements is
documented within the November 6, 2012 staff report provided to
the Tustin City Council, (except as authorized by any approved
Concessions and Incentives)).
F. That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 4.2.4 requires the submission of
a Design Review application following or concurrently with submittal of a
concept plan, individual development and reuse projects within Planning
Area 13. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin City
Council has determined that the proposed project's design satisfies the
following general architectural and site design principles in that:
1. The buildings define and relate to the street edge, with architecture
to face the streets.
2. The buildings interface with adjacent residential uses.
3. The architecture is technically sophisticated in detailing.
4. There is a rich palette of natural materials and textures.
5. The architecture proposes visually interesting fagade treatments
with distinctive architectural elements and design details.
City Council Resolution No. 12 -93
CP 2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and PM 2012 -136
Page 3
6. The project utilizes varied setbacks, projections, roof lines, windows
and reveals, and elements that minimize the impact of the building
mass.
7. The buildings are designed with traditional forms, accented by
unique architectural shapes and details.
8. The buildings reflect high quality design through the incorporation
of coordinated architecture utilizing elements, materials, and colors
that complement the relaxed, informal style.
9. The buildings incorporate smaller -scale architectural details such
as porches, bays, recessed or projecting balconies, and dormers to
visually reduce the height and scale of the building.
10. The buildings utilize varied building heights.
11. Building fagade articulation is implemented.
In addition, the proposed project's location, size, architectural features
and general appearance will not impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development therein,
the occupancy thereof, or the community as a whole, based upon a
consideration of the following criteria:
1. Height, bulk and area of buildings.
2. Setbacks and site planning.
3. Exterior materials and colors.
4. Type and pitch of roofs.
5. Size and spacing of windows, doors and other openings.
6. Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flagpoles, radio and television
antennas.
7. Landscaping, parking area design and traffic circulation.
8. Location, height and standards of exterior illumination.
9. Location and appearance of equipment located outside of an
enclosed structure.
10. Location and method of refuse storage.
11. Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in
the neighborhood.
12.Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures and possible future structures in the
neighborhood and public thoroughfares.
13. Proposed signing (to be submitted for staff review following project
approval)
14. Development guidelines and criteria as may be adopted by the City
Council.
Also, the project applicant has proposed community gates for the
project. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin City
Council has determined that the proposed use of gates at the project is
supportable since the project is of a higher density, is in close
proximity to the District at Tustin Legacy, is surrounded by streets on
City Council Resolution No. 12 -93
CP 2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and PM 2012 -136
Page 4
all sides, and will not impact the parking demand, usage, or the
vehicular circulation on the site.
G. That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.2.3 permits the transfer of
residential units (density transfer) between parcels subject to review and
approval. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin City
Council has determined that the requested Density Transfer is an
innovative approach to providing a significant number of affordable units
at Tustin Legacy with the requirement that St. Anton Partners and The
Irvine Company enter into an Affordable Housing /Regulatory Agreement
with the City of Tustin to ensure availability of the 225 and 37 moderate -
income affordable apartment units (respectively) for 55 years.
H. That Tustin City Code Section 9141(b) authorizes the submission of an
application for a Density Bonus and /or Concession or Incentive to be
processed concurrently with any other permit application(s) which require
entitlements. The City must support density bonus requests, but must
make findings for any concessions or incentives requested for projects
that provide affordable housing units in compliance with California
Government Code Section 65915(1), as authorized under Tustin City
Code Section 9123. The Irvine Company has requested City Council
approval of the requested Density Bonus, Concessions and Incentives
including:
Development Authorization to:
Regulation 1. Increase the number of units served by a
private "loop" drive (MCAS Tustin Section
2.5.2.6.8.1b) beyond the current limit of 87 units.
I. That on October 9, 2012, the Tustin Planning Commission held a duly
called, noticed, public hearing on the matter and adopted Resolution
No. 4206 recommending that the Tustin City Council approve CP
2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and PM
2012 -136.
J. That on October 16, 2012, the Tustin City Council continued the
matter to an adjourned regular meeting on October 30, 2012.
K. That on October 30, 2012, the Tustin City Council continued the
matter to a regular meeting on November 6, 2012.
L. That a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on November
6, 2012 by the Tustin City Council.
M. That on November 6, 2012, the Tustin City Council adopted Resolution
No. 12 -95 finding that the Project is within the scope of the previously
approved MCAS Tustin Final Program EIS /EIR previously certified on
City Council Resolution No. 12 -93

January 16, 2001, as amended by Supplement and Addendum and that
no new effects could occur and no new mitigation measures would be
required and an additional environmental analysis, action or document
is not required by the CEQA. The City has alternatively determined that
the proposed project is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to
Government Code Section 65457.
II. The City Council hereby approves CP 2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density
Transfer, Density Bonus, and Concessions or Incentives authorized under
Tustin City Code Section 9123, and Tentative PM 2012 -136 for 533

Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
G. The Density Bonus Law and the Density Bonus Ordinance, among other matters,
provide for the following:
(1) Pursuant to City Code Section 9122, the City must, upon the request of an
applicant, grant a density bonus of up to thirty -five percent (35 %) (the "Mandatory Density
Bonus ") when an applicant proposes to restrict twenty percent (20 %) of the Base Unit Count to
Low Income Units. In the aggregate, there are 161 Very Low Income Units and Low Income
Units proposed to be constructed on the Parcel l A North Property, thus exceeding the percentage
of Affordable Housing Units required to obtain the maximum Mandatory Density Bonus.
(2) The maximum residential density that is permitted by the Specific Plan to
be constructed on both the Property and the Parcel 1 A North Property, on a combined basis, is
375 residential units on the Property and 192 residential units on the Parcel IA North Property
(in the aggregate, the 567 residential units permitted on the two properties are the "Base Unit
Count "). With application of the 33.7% Mandatory Density Bonus a total of 191 additional
residential units may be constructed on the combined parcels of the Property and the Parcel 1 A
North Property.
(3) Accordingly, after application of the Mandatory Density Bonus, the
Property and the Parcel 1 A North Property, on a combined basis, may contain an aggregate of
758 residential units.
(4) The City has allocated the total residential units between the Property and
the Parcel I North Property as follows: (i) the Property may contain up to 533 residential units
as further described in this Housing Agreement, (ii) provided that 225 residential units developed
on the Parcel I North Property are restricted to Affordable Housing Units.
(5) The City has also allocated the total affordable residential units between
the Property and the Parcel IA North Property as follows: (i) the Parcel IA North Property shall
contain 88 Very Low Income Units, 73 Low Income Units, and 64 Moderate Income Units and
(ii) the Property shall contain 37 Moderate Income Units.
(6) When an applicant seeks a density bonus on a project that proposes to
restrict fifteen percent (15 %) of the Base Unit Count to Very Low Income Households, pursuant
to Section 9123 of the Tustin City Code the City must, upon the request of an applicant, grant a
total of up to three (3) incentives or concessions. The project proposed for the Parcel I A North
Property will include 88 Very Low Income Units, out of a total of 567 residential units that are
the Base Unit Count on the Property and the Parcel I North Property. Thus, sixteen percent
(16 %), rounded up, of the Base Unit Count will be Very Low Income Units and the projects are
entitled to three (3) concessions. In addition, Section 9125 of the Tustin City Code the City
provides that the City Council may grant additional assistance to a project to ensure that the
development of affordable housing is facilitated, including the granting of concessions. The City
Council has authorized Owner to increase the number of units served by a private "loop" drive
(MCAS Tustin Section 2.5.2.B.8.b) beyond the current limit 87 units.

Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
H. In accordance with the allocated affordable dwelling units described above, and in
connection with density bonus for the Property and the Parcel 1 A North Property granted to the
City (as the prior owner of those parcels) the City has received approval for a housing incentive
agreement required by Section 9142 of the Density Bonus Ordinance, which includes approval of
the following: (i) up to 533 dwelling units in the Project at the Property, of which 37 units will be
reserved for Moderate Income Units.
I. Resolution No. CC requires that prior to recordation of the first final map
including, conveyance map, or first building permit, whichever occurs first, the City (and Owner
as the successor in interest to the City pursuant to the Quitclaim Deed) is required to enter into a
Housing Agreement with Tustin to ensure implementation of the Affordable Housing
Requirements of the Specific Plan, the City's Density Bonus Ordinance, the City- approved
"Affordable Housing Plan, Density Bonus Application," the City's "Affordable Housing Policy ",
compliance with California Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2), and that the entire
Project remain a rental apartment project for the entire Qualified Project Period.
J. Tustin and Owner enter into this Housing Agreement pursuant to and in
accordance with the Density Bonus Law and the Density Bonus Ordinance. This Housing
Agreement constitutes the housing incentive agreement required by Section 9142 of the Density
Bonus Ordinance. The City has determined that the provisions of this Housing Agreement
comply with the Specific Plan, the Density Bonus Ordinance, California Government Code
Section 65915, and California Health and Safety Code Sections 33334.3, 33413(b) and
33334.14, and that this Housing Agreement fully satisfies the above - mentioned ordinances and
State statutes.
K. Conditions of the DDA and the Entitlements require that Owner agree to enforce
certain affordable housing restrictions to ensure the affordability of the Affordable Housing
Units in the Project.
L. In consideration of Tustin's agreement to support the Project pursuant to Owner's
commitments under the Development Agreements and subject to the Special Restrictions and the
Entitlements, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Tustin and Owner now desire to enter into this Housing Agreement to
set forth their agreement regarding the affordable housing restrictions for the Project and to cause
said affordable housing restrictions to run with the land for the benefit of Tustin.

requirements in Section 2.2.3.
City of Tustin / Legacy Villas
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
2.3.5. If multiple households apply to Owner to occupy a vacant
Affordable Housing Unit, and if such prospective tenants are all Qualified Households, then
Owner shall lease the Affordable Housing Unit to one such Qualified Household on a first -come,
first- served, and non - discriminatory basis, which may be determined by the interest list
maintained by Owner.
2.3.6. During the first year of the Qualified Project Period, Owner shall
notify the Program Administrator of any Affordable Housing Unit that either (a) fails to be
leased to a Qualified Household within thirty (30) days after the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy for the Affordable Housing Unit (the "Initial Leasing Period "), or (b) becomes
available as a result of a tenant vacating the premises.
2.3.7. During the Initial Leasing Period, Owner shall create and
maintain an "interest list" which includes all those potential tenants who have expressed an
interest in leasing an Affordable Housing Unit within the Project and who are Qualified
Households. The interest list shall be maintained with an order of priority based on a first -come,
first- priority basis. Pursuant to Section 2.9.10, the interest list shall also designate whether a
Qualified Household is eligible under the City of Tustin's Local Preference Policy.
2.3.8. During the Initial Leasing Period, to the extent permitted by law,
Owner shall first offer Affordable Housing Units to persons on the interest list and with any
preferential status that may be applicable pursuant to Section 2.9. 10 under the City of Tustin's

Affordable Housing Unit for a period of one (1) year, beginning on the first day after the
expiration of the Qualified Project Period; provided that the annual rent increase during such one
(1) year period shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) the rent for such unit on the

Project Period, the Affordable Housing Units shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this

City of Tustin / Legacy Villas
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
2.3.11. Prior to entering into a lease with a tenant for an Affordable
Housing Unit, Owner shall first make a determination that such tenant is a Qualified Household
in accordance with Section 2.9.
2.4. Rental Rates and Changes to Rent.
2.4.1. Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent. Each Affordable Housing
Unit shall be leased to a Qualified Household for monthly Rent Consideration in an amount not
to exceed the applicable Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent for such Affordable Housing Unit,
calculated in accordance with the definition for "Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent' in
Exhibit `B" and as described in Section 2.4.2. The Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent for each
Affordable Housing Unit shall be calculated initially as of the date an Affordable Housing Unit
is leased to a tenant, and annually thereafter, but not later than the Outside Rent Calculation
Date. The "Outside Rent Calculation Date" for each calendar year means the date that is sixty
(60) days after the date on which the California Department of Housing and Community
Development publishes its list of maximum affordable rents (the "HCD List') during such
calendar year. Owner shall deliver to the City their proposed list of Maximum Monthly
Affordable Rent for each Affordable Housing Unit in the Project (the "Proposed List') no later
than the Outside Rent Calculation Date. The City shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the
Proposed List to approve the Proposed List or to provide Owner with suggested corrections to
the Proposed List so that the Proposed List will comply with the maximum affordable rents
permitted under this Housing Agreement. Owner shall modify the Proposed List and resubmit
the same to the City for approval to address any corrections suggested by the City. If the City
fails to approve or provide corrections to a Proposed List within thirty (30) days after receipt of
the same, then the Proposed List shall be deemed to be approved on the thirty-first day after
receipt by the City; but only to the extent the Proposed List otherwise complies with the
maximum affordable rents that would be permitted under the HCD List. Owner shall not charge
Rent Consideration for an Affordable Housing Unit that exceeds the applicable Maximum
Monthly Affordable Rent for such Affordable Housing Unit set forth on the most recently
approved (or deemed approved) Proposed List.
2.4.2. Adiustments to Rent. Owner shall, in accordance with
Section 2.9, re- examine the income of each Qualified Household that is a tenant living in an
Affordable Housing Unit at least annually to confirm that such tenant household remains a
Qualified Household. The Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent shall be recalculated by Owner
and reviewed and approved by the Program Administrator annually, and may change as changes
in the applicable gross rent amounts, the income adjustments, or the monthly allowance for
utilities and services warrant. Owner shall not impose on a tenant an increase in rent approved
by the Program Administrator if that increase is not permitted to be imposed under the lease
between Owner and the tenant. Owner shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to affected tenants before implementing any increase in rents. In establishing Maximum
Monthly Affordable Rent for each household, Owner shall not exceed the rental amounts
specified on the City Maximum Rent List, unless such list is not published on or before the date
City of Tustin / Legacy Villas
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
that is 45 days following the publication of the HCD List, in which event Owner shall not exceed
the rental amounts specified on the HCD List.
2.5. Minimum Rents. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2,
the Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent for each Affordable Housing Unit shall not be less than
the Maximum Monthly Affordable Rent for such Affordable Housing Unit that Owner would
have been permitted to charge for such Affordable Housing Unit on the date of this Housing
Agreement, assuming that such Affordable Housing Unit was occupied by a Qualified
Household of a size equal to one person per bedroom in such Affordable Housing Unit.
2.6. Rent Schedule and Utility Allowances The Program Administrator shall
annually review and approve rents proposed by Owner for the Moderate Income Units to
determine that Owner has properly applied the restrictions contained in this Section 2. The
Program Administrator shall from time to time provide Owner with a schedule establishing the
monthly allowances for utilities and services to be paid by the Qualified Households who occupy
the Affordable Housing Units.
2.7. Increases in Tenant Income.
2.7.1. Over- Income Moderate Income Units. If, as a result of the
annual re- examination of incomes required pursuant to Section 2.9.5, Owner determines that the
income of a tenant in an Affordable Housing Unit exceeds the income to qualify as a Moderate
Income Household, then the dwelling unit occupied by such household shall remain an
Affordable Housing Unit until the next annual Verification of Income. If, at the subsequent
Verification of Income, the income of the tenant occupying the unit again does not qualify, then
Owner shall request that such tenant vacate the Affordable Housing Unit within sixty (60) days
after the Verification of Income date. If such tenant fails to consensually vacate the Affordable
Housing Unit within such sixty -day period, then Owner shall commence eviction proceedings
and shall prosecute such proceedings to completion, causing the tenant to vacate the Affordable
Housing Unit.
2.7.2. Vacant Units. At all times, Owner shall attempt to lease vacant
Affordable Housing Units so that the number, income level, and number of bedrooms in all of
the Affordable Housing Units in the Project most closely match the requirements in
Section 2.2.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, at all times during
the Qualified Project Period, there shall never be fewer than 37 Affordable Housing Units in the
Project either (a) rented to Qualified Households in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2 or (b) available for rent pursuant to Section 2 and of a type and in a location consistent
with Section 2.2. A vacant Affordable Housing Unit will continue to be treated as an Affordable
Housing Unit provided that Owner continues to make reasonable attempts to rent the dwelling
unit to a Qualified Household.
2.7.3. Allocation of Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, it
is the intent of this Housing Agreement that all 37 of the Affordable Housing Units shall be
City of Tustin / Legacy Villas
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
Moderate Income Units and positioned within the Project, and containing the number of
bedrooms as provided in Section 2.2. In the event the application of the provisions in this
Section 2 result in there being fewer than 37 Moderate Income Units in the project, then Owner
shall lease the next available dwelling unit in the Project to a Qualified Household as a Moderate
Income Unit.
2.8. Rental Agreements for Affordable Housing Units.
2.8.1. Rental Agreement.
2.8.1.1. The rental agreement for an Affordable Housing
Unit must be for an initial term of not less than six (6) months, unless the Program Administrator
provides prior written approval.
2.8.1.2. The rental agreement for an Affordable Housing
Unit shall prohibit the tenant from subleasing or licensing the premises and shall prohibit the
tenant from allowing any persons who are not members of the Qualified Household that is the
tenant from occupying the unit.
2.8.1.3. The rental agreement for an Affordable Housing
Unit shall include the right of Tustin to inspect the interior of the Affordable Housing Unit with
prior notice of not less than forty -eight (48) hours.
2.8.2. Tenant Protections The rental agreement for an Affordable
Housing Unit may not contain any of the following provisions:
2.8.2.1. Any agreement by the tenant to admit guilt or to a
judgment in favor of Owner in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease.
2.8.2.2. Any agreement by the tenant that Owner may take,
hold, or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court
decision on the rights of the parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement
by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the Affordable Housing
Unit after the tenant has moved out of the Affordable Housing Unit. Owner may dispose of such
personal property in accordance with applicable State law.
2.8.2.3. Any agreement by the tenant not to hold Owner or
its agents legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent.
2.8.2.4. Any agreement of the tenant that Owner may evict
the tenant or household members without notice to the tenant.
2.8.2.5. Any agreement by the tenant that Owner may evict
the tenant or household members without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant
has the opportunity to present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties.

City of Tustin / Legacy Villas
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
2.8.2.6. Any agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a
trial by jury.
2.8.2.7. Any agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's
right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease.
2.8.2.8. Any agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees
or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by Owner against the tenant.
The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses.
2.8.3. Termination of Tenancy. Owner may not terminate the tenancy
or refuse to renew the lease of a Qualified Household except for violation of the terms and
conditions of the lease; for violation of applicable federal, State, or local law; or for other good
cause. Any termination or refusal to renew without cause must be preceded by not less than
sixty (60) days by Owner's service upon the tenant of a written notice specifying the grounds for
the action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may terminate the tenancy or refuse to renew
the lease of a Qualified Household for cause upon three (3) day's notice to the Qualified
Household.
2.9. Qualified Households; Records and Reports
2.9.1. Certificate Regarding Affordability Commencement Date.
Within thirty (30) days after the Affordability Commencement Date has occurred, Owner shall
execute and deliver to the Program Administrator a copy of a certificate identifying the
Affordability Commencement Date and the last day of the Qualified Project Period, which
certificate shall be in the form provided by Program Administrator or otherwise approved by
Program Administrator. Owner shall record a copy of such certificate against title to the
Property in the Official Records.
2.9.2. Verification of Income. Prior to considering a household as a
tenant for an Affordable Housing Unit, Owner shall obtain from the applicant a complete
verification of income qualification, on a form that contains all of the information required by
IRC Sections 42 and 143 and the TCAC Procedures or in some other manner approved in writing
by the Program Administrator (the "Verification of Income "). Prior to the renewal or extension
of the term of any lease for an Affordable Housing Unit, Owner shall obtain from the Qualified
Household a current Verification of Income. The Parties agree that so long as the Verification of
Income is performed prior to the renewal or extension of the term of any lease, if Owner
complies with the income verification procedures established by TCAC from time to time as
contained in California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Division 17, Chapter 1, as amended from
time to time, and as set forth on the website (http: / /www. treasurer .ca.gov /ctcac /compliance.asp),
or any successor website or other published set of procedures, as may exist from time to time
(collectively, the "TCAC Procedures "), then Owner's compliance with the TCAC Procedures
shall be deemed to be compliance with the requirements in this Section 2.9.2.
City of Tustin / Legacy Villas
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants

verify that the information provided by an applicant in the Verification of Income is accurate by
taking the following steps, as a part of the verification process: (1) copy of driver's license or
Government issued identification card for all adult household members; (2) obtain pay stubs for
the most recent one -month period; (3) obtain income W -2 Wage and Earning Statements and tax
returns for the most recent tax year; and (4) obtain proof of legal residency. In the alternative, if

implement both the General Plan and the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan goals and

TUSTIN LEGACY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS TUSTIN LEGACY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ( "Agreement ") is
entered into effective as of the day of , 2012 by and between the CITY OF
TUSTIN, a California municipal corporation ( "CITY "), and THE IRVINE COMPANY, LLC,
a California and Delaware limited liability company ( "DEVELOPER "). CITY and
DEVELOPER are collectively referred to herein as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party ".
RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the
State of California adopted the "Development Agreement Statute," Sections 65864, et seq., of
the Government Code. The Development Agreement Statute authorizes CITY to enter into an
agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property and to provide for
development of such property and to establish certain development rights therein. In addition,
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 4.2.9 states: "prior to issuance of any permits or approval of
any entitlements within the Specific Plan area, all private development shall first obtain a
Development Agreement in accordance with Section 65864 et seq. of the Government Code and
Sections 9600 to 9619 of the Tustin City Code." Pursuant to the authorization set forth in the
Development Agreement Statute, CITY has enacted procedures for entering into development
agreements which are contained in Tustin City Code Sections 9600 to 9619.
B. CITY and DEVELOPER entered into that certain Tustin Legacy Disposition and
Development Agreement as of (the "DDA ") pursuant to which CITY agreed to sell, and
DEVELOPER agreed to buy and develop, certain real property, all as more specifically set forth
in the DDA.
C. Pursuant to the DDA, DEVELOPER has an equitable and legal interest in the
Property (as defined below) in that it has the contractual right to purchase from CITY for
development of the Property.
D. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65864, the Legislature has found and
determined that:
"(a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a
waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other development to the consumer, and
discourage investment in and commitment to comprehensive planning which would make
maximum efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon approval of
the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in accordance with existing policies, rules
and regulations, and subject to conditions of approval, will strengthen the public planning
process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic
costs of development.
(c) The lack of public facilities, including, but not limited to, streets,
sewerage, transportation, drinking water, school, and utility facilities, is a serious impediment to
the development of new housing. Whenever possible, applicants and local governments may
include provisions in agreements whereby applicants are reimbursed over time for financing
public facilities."
In accordance with the legislative findings set forth in Government Code Section 65864,
CITY wishes to attain certain public objectives that will be furthered by this Agreement. This
Agreement will provide for the orderly implementation of the General Plan of CITY, and the
phased development and completion of the Project in accordance with the DDA and the Specific
Plan. This Agreement will further a comprehensive planning objective contained within the
City's General Plan, which is:
"To promote an economically balanced community with complimentary and
buffered land uses to include industrial, commercial, professional, multi - family and single -
family development."
E. The DDA, the Specific Plan and the development under the DDA and the Specific
Plan require a substantial early investment of money and planning and design effort by
DEVELOPER. Without the protection provided by this Agreement, uncertainty that the Project
may be completed in its entirety could result in a waste of public resources, escalate the cost of
public improvements, and discourage DEVELOPER's participation in the comprehensive public
improvements in the DDA and the Specific Plan. DEVELOPER's participation in the
implementation of the DDA and the Specific Plan will result in a number of public benefits.
These benefits require the cooperation and participation of CITY and DEVELOPER and could
not be secured without mutual cooperation in and commitment to the comprehensive planning
effort that has resulted in the DDA and the Specific Plan.
2
F. DEVELOPER wishes to avoid certain development risks and uncertainties that
would, in the absence of this Agreement, deter and discourage DEVELOPER from making a
commitment to implement the DDA and the Specific Plan. These are as follows:
1. It is generally the law in California that, absent extraordinary
circumstances or the approval of a vesting subdivision map, an owner of the land does not obtain
a vested right to improve land until the issuance of a building permit for the improvements and
commencement of substantial construction pursuant to that permit. The result is a disincentive
for landowners to invest monies in the early completion of major infrastructure and other public
improvements as part of any project or in early comprehensive planning and design studies.
2. Development under the DDA and the Specific Plan requires a substantial
early investment of money and planning and design effort by DEVELOPER. Uncertainty about
CITY's land use policies, rules and regulations could result in a waste of private resources,
escalate the cost of required public improvements, and escalate costs of proposed housing and
other uses.
G. The following assurances are of vital concem to DEVELOPER to offset or
remove the disincentives and uncertainties set forth in Paragraph F above:
I. Assurance to DEVELOPER that, in return for DEVELOPER'S
commitment to the development of the Property that is contained in the DDA, any approved
entitlements, and the Specific Plan, CITY will in turn remain committed to the DDA and the
Specific Plan;
2. Assurances to DEVELOPER that as DEVELOPER becomes obligated for
the costs of designing and constructing the public and private improvements included in the
DDA and the Specific Plan, and makes dedications, DEVELOPER will become entitled to
complete the private development portions of the DDA and the Specific Plan that justify those
obligations; and
3. Assurances to DEVELOPER that in CITY's administration of the DDA
and the Specific Plan, DEVELOPER will be allowed, consistent with the DDA and the Specific
Plan, to develop the housing types and intensities identified in the DDA and the Specific Plan.
These assurances provide for cooperation and participation of CITY and DEVELOPER and
could not be secured without mutual cooperation in and commitment to the comprehensive
planning effort that has resulted in the DDA and the Specific Plan.
H. California Government Code Sections 65864 et seq. authorize local agencies to
enter into binding development agreements with persons having legal or equitable interests in
real property for the development of such property. CITY wishes to enter into a development
agreement with DEVELOPER to secure the public benefits described above, and DEVELOPER
wishes to enter into a development agreement with CITY to avoid the development risks and
uncertainties and to obtain the assurances described above.
I. This Agreement is intended to be, and shall be construed as, a development
agreement within the meaning of the Development Agreement Statute. This Agreement is
intended to augment and further the purposes and intent of the parties in the implementation of
3
the DDA and the Specific Plan. This Agreement, as a device for the implementation of the DDA
and the Specific Plan, will eliminate uncertainty in planning for and secure the orderly
development of the Project, ensure a desirable and functional community environment, provide
effective and efficient development of public facilities, infrastructure, and services appropriate
for the development of the Project, assure attainment of the maximum effective utilization of
resources within CITY, and provide other significant public benefits to CITY and its residents by
otherwise achieving the goals and purposes of the Development Agreement Statute. In exchange
for these benefits to CITY, DEVELOPER desires to receive the assurance that it may proceed
with development of the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Existing Land Use Regulations, the DDA, and the Development Plan, all as more particularly set
forth herein.
J. CITY has determined that this Agreement and the Project are consistent with the
CITY's General Plan and the CITY's MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan, as amended, and
as the same maybe further amended from time to time, and that the Development Agreement
complies with the findings established by Tustin City Code Section 9611 in that the Agreement:
(a) Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs
specified in the General Plan and the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (except
for any Concessions and Incentives authorized for the project by the
Tustin City Council).
(b) Is compatible with the uses authorized in district in which the real property
is located (Planning Area 13). Note: the proposed apartment project
complies with the uses authorized by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
(c) Is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general
welfare, and good land use practices. Note: the proposed provision of 37
moderate income affordable apartment units meets this goal.
(d) Will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare. Note:
compliance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Tustin City Code, and
other regulations will ensure that the project will not be detrimental in any
way.
(e)
(f)
Will not adversely affect the orderly development of property. Note: the
proposed project is orderly and well designed.
Will have a positive fiscal impact on the City. Note: the provisions of the
proposed DDA, DA and conditions of approval will ensure that the project
will have a positive fiscal impact on the City.
K. On October 9, 2012, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
Agreement, made certain findings and determinations with respect thereto, and recommended to
the City Council of CITY that this Agreement be approved. On , the City
Council held a public hearing on this Agreement, considered the recommendations of the
Planning Commission, and adopted Ordinance No. , approving this Agreement and

DDA and this Agreement. In the absence of this Agreement, DEVELOPER would have no
assurance that it can complete the Project for the uses and to the density and intensity of
development set forth in this Agreement and the Existing Entitlement approvals. This
Agreement, therefore, is necessary to assure DEVELOPER that the Project will not be (1)
reduced or otherwise modified in density, intensity or use from what is set forth in the Existing
Entitlement Approvals, (2) subjected to new rules, regulations, ordinances or official policies or
plans which are not adopted or approved pursuant to the City's Reservation of Authority.
3.3. Mutual Objectives. Development of the Project in accordance with this
Development Agreement will provide for the orderly development of the Property in accordance
with the objectives set forth in the General Plan. Moreover, a development agreement for the
Project will eliminate uncertainty in planning for and securing orderly development of the
Property, assure installation of necessary improvements, assure attainment of maximum efficient
resource utilization within the City at the least economic cost to its citizens and otherwise
achieve the goals and purposes established by Government Code Section 65864. The Parties
believe that such orderly development of the Project will provide Public Benefits, as described in
Section 3.1, to the City through the imposition of development standards and requirements under
12
the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation: increased tax
revenues, installation of on -site and off -site improvements, and creation and retention of jobs.
Additionally, although development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement will
restrain the City's land use or other relevant police powers, this Agreement provides the City
with sufficient reserved powers during the term hereof to remain responsible and accountable to
its residents. In exchange for these and other benefits to City, the DEVELOPER will receive
assurance that the Project may be developed during the term of this Agreement in accordance
with the applicable rules, project approvals and Reservation of Authority, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
3.4. Applicability of the Agreement. This Agreement does not: (1) grant density or
intensity in excess of that otherwise established in the Existing Entitlement Approvals;
(2) eliminate future discretionary actions relating to the Project if applications requiring such
discretionary action are initiated and submitted by the DEVELOPER of the Property after the
effective date of this Agreement; (3) guarantee that Property Owner will receive any profits from
the Project; or (4) amend the DDA, the Specific Plan, or the City's General Plan.
3.5. Agreement and Assurance on the Part of the DEVELOPER. In consideration for
the City entering into this Agreement, and as an inducement for the City to obligate itself to carry
out the covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to effectuate the
premises, purposes and intentions set forth in this Agreement, DEVELOPER hereby agrees as
follows:
3.5.1 Project Development. DEVELOPER agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts, in accordance with its own business judgment and taking into account market
conditions and economic considerations, to undertake any development of the Project in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the DDA, this Agreement and Existing Entitlement
Approvals.
3.5.2 Additional Obligations of DEVELOPER as Consideration for this
Agreement. In addition to the obligations identified in Section 3.5.1, the development
assurances provided by this Agreement and the resulting construction of the Project will result in
the following:
a. Construct a 533 -unit residential apartment complex at Disposition
Package Site 2A, Tustin Legacy, including 37 moderate income
rental units and 496 market rate rental units, consistent with the
DDA, this Agreement and Project approvals.
b. Construct all of the vertical, horizontal, and local Developer
improvements identified in the DDA.
c. Comply with the DDA, Housing/Regulatory Agreement, Tustin
City Code, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, state and federal law,
required mitigation measures, and all conditions of approval.
d. The Developer acknowledges that the City has elected to fund
certain portions of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
13
Program through imposition of a landscape and lighting district,
master maintenance association, assessment district, or any other
method or means determined by the City necessary for funding of
the maintenance of the public right -of -way, landscape easements,
public parks or of the various municipal services and operating
expenses associated with Tustin Legacy. Developer agrees that it
will not oppose a determination by the City to form an assessment
district or community facilities district including all or any portion
of the Property subject thereto or any assessments by such
assessment district or community facilities district provided that
the City, the assessment district or community facilities district,
and such assessments comply with Section 8.5.3 of the DDA.
e. Pay all required development related fees, including but not limited
to any required Backbone Infrastructure fee, etc.
3.6. Agreement and Assurances on the Part of the City. In consideration for
DEVELOPER entering into this Agreement, and as an inducement for DEVELOPER to obligate
itself to carry out the covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to
effectuate the purpose of this Agreement, the City hereby agrees as follows:
3.6.1 Applicable Regulations; Vested Right to Develop. To the maximum
extent permitted by law, DEVELOPER has the vested right to develop the Project subject to the
terms and conditions of the DDA, this Agreement, the Specific Plan, Tustin City Code, state and
federal law, and Entitlement Approvals pursuant to the City's Reservation of Authority. Other
than as expressly set forth herein, during the Term of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of
development applicable to the Property, including but not limited to the permitted uses of the
Property, the density and intensity of use, maximum height and size of proposed buildings, the
design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to the
development of the Property, including any changes authorized pursuant to Section 3.6.1, and the
provisions for the reservation and dedication of land as needed for public purposes pursuant to
Governmental Requirements, shall be those set forth in the DDA, Existing Land Use
Regulations, and Entitlement Approvals. In connection therewith and subject to the terms of this
Agreement including the Reservations of Authority, DEVELOPER shall have the Vested Rights
to: (1) carry out and develop the Property in accordance with the DDA (which includes the
Development Plan), Existing Land Use Regulations, Entitlement Approvals and the provisions of
this Agreement; (2) to receive from CITY all future entitlement approvals for the Project that
CITY finds are consistent with and implement the DDA (which includes the Development Plan),
Existing Land Use Regulations, Entitlement Approvals and this Agreement, and (3) not have any
Entitlement Approvals conditioned or delayed for reasons inconsistent with the DDA (or as
contemplated in the DDA which includes the Development Plan), Existing Land Use
Regulations, Entitlement Approvals or this Agreement.
To the extent any changes in the Existing Land Use Regulations, or any provisions of future
General Plans, Specific Plans, Zoning Ordinances or other rules, regulations, ordinances or
policies (whether adopted by means of ordinance, initiative, referenda, resolution. policy, order,
moratorium, or other means, adopted by the City Council, Planning Commission, or any other
14
board, commission, agency, committee, or department of City, or any officer or employee
thereof, or by the electorate) of CITY (collectively, "Future Rules ") are not in conflict with the
Vested Right, such Future Rules shall be applicable to the Project. For purposes of this
Section 3.6.1, the word "conflict" means Future Rules that would (i) alter the Vested Rights, or
(ii) frustrate in a more than insignificant way the intent or purpose of the Vested Rights in
relation to the Project, or (iii) materially increase the cost of performance of, or preclude
compliance with, any provision of the Vested Right, or (iv) delay in a more than insignificant
way development of the Project, or (v) limit or restrict the availability of public utilities, services,
infrastructure of facilities (for example, but not by way of limitation, water rights, water
connection or sewage capacity rights, sewer connections, etc.) to the Project, or (vi) impose
limits or controls in the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development of the Project. To
the extent that Future Rules conflict with the Vested Rights, they shall not apply to the Project
and the Vested Rights shall apply to the Project.
3.6.2 Availability of Public Services. To the maximum extent permitted by law
and consistent with its authority, City shall assist Developer in reserving such capacity for sewer
and water services as may be necessary to serve the Project.
3.7. Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided
under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservations of Authority (and notwithstanding
any future action of CITY or its citizens, whether by ordinance, resolution, initiative or
otherwise), the rules, regulations, and official policies governing the Project, including, without
limitation, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the
maximum height and size of proposed buildings, the design, improvement and construction
standards and specifications applicable to the Project, including any changes authorized pursuant
to Section 3.6.1, the subdivision of land and requirements for infrastructure and public
improvements, and other terms and conditions of the Project, shall be the DDA, Existing Land
Use Regulations, and the provisions of this Agreement. CITY shall accept for processing and
review and take action on all applications for Subsequent Entitlement Approvals as provided in
Section 3.9 below. In connection with any Subsequent Entitlement Approval, CITY shall
exercise discretion in accordance with the same manner as it exercises its discretion under its
police powers, including the Reservations of Authority; provided however, that such discretion
shall not prevent development of the Project as set forth in this Agreement.
3.8. Timing of Development. The timing of development will be as set forth in the
DDA. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo
(1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of
development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail
over such parties' agreement, it is the parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging
and providing that DEVELOPER will adhere to the terms of the DDA regarding the timing of
development.
3.9. Changes and Amendments. By approving the Entitlement Approvals, City has
made a policy decision that the Project is in the best interests of the public health, safety and
general welfare. Accordingly, City shall not use its discretionary authority in considering any
application for a Subsequent Approval, including, but not limited to, the City's administrative
consideration of planned unit development permits, conditional use permits and subdivision
15
maps, within the Project Site to change the policy decisions reflected by the Entitlement
Approvals or otherwise to prevent or delay development of the Project as set forth in the
Entitlement Approvals. Instead, the Subsequent Approvals shall be deemed to be tools to
implement those final policy decisions and shall be issued by City so long as they comply with
this Agreement and Applicable Law and are not inconsistent with the Entitlement Approvals as
set forth above. The parties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the Project
will require Subsequent Entitlement Approvals and may demonstrate that changes are
appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing Entitlement Approvals. In the event
DEVELOPER finds that a change in the Existing Entitlement Approvals is necessary or
appropriate, DEVELOPER shall apply for a Subsequent Entitlement Approval to effectuate such
change and CITY shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land
Use Regulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement including the Reservations of
Authority. If approved, any such change in the Existing Entitlement Approvals shall be
incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, shall thereafter be deemed to be an
Existing Entitlement Approval for all purposes of this Agreement and may be further changed
from time to time as provided in this Section. Unless otherwise required by law, as determined
in CITY's reasonable discretion, a change to the Existing Entitlement Approvals requested by
DEVELOPER or an approved assignee shall be deemed "minor" and shall not require an
amendment to this Agreement.
In an instance when CITY has reasonably determined that a proposed change to the Existing
Entitlement Approvals constitutes a minor change pursuant to this Section 3.9, CITY and
DEVELOPER shall cooperate to ensure the preparation of any environmental analysis deemed
appropriate and necessary pursuant to CEQA. Furthermore, CITY and DEVELOPER shall
cooperate to ensure the filing of a notice of determination in this regard.
3.10. Reservations of Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the laws, rules, regulations and official policies set forth in this
Section 3.10 shall apply to and govern development of the Property and Project to the extent set
forth herein.
3.10.1 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions, and
official policies, including initiative measures, adopted or approved after the Effective Date
pursuant to procedures provided by law which are applied on a City -wide basis ( "New CITY
Laws ") shall apply to and govern development of the Property, provided that any New CITY
Laws which reduce the density or intensity of the Project below that permitted by the Existing
Land Use Regulations, the Existing Entitlement Approvals or the DDA, alter the permitted uses
of the Property, reduce the maximum height or size of any permitted buildings, impose
additional obligations in connection with the reservation or dedication of land for public
purposes beyond the requirements identified in the DDA, or limit the rate, timing, or sequencing
of development of the Property from that required in the DDA or in any Entitlement Approvals,
shall be deemed inconsistent with this Agreement and shall not be applicable to the development
of the Property and Project.
3.10.2 Overriding State and Federal Laws. CITY shall not be precluded from
adopting and applying New CITY Laws to the Project and development of the Project to the
extent that such New CITY Laws are required to be applied by State or Federal laws or
16
regulations and which would override DEVELOPER's Vested Rights as set forth in this
Agreement, provided however, that (i) DEVELOPER does not waive its right to challenge or
contest the validity of such State, Federal, or New CITY Laws or regulation; and (ii) such new
CITY Law shall only be applied to the Project and development of the Project to the extent
necessary to comply with such new State or Federal law or regulation. In the event that such
State or Federal law or regulation (or New CITY Laws undertaken pursuant thereto) prevents or
precludes substantial compliance with one or more provisions of the DDA, the Existing Land
Use Regulations or this Agreement, the Parties agree to consider in good faith amending or
suspending such provisions of this Agreement as may be necessary to comply with such State or
Federal laws (or New CITY Laws), provided that no Party shall be bound to approve any
amendment to this Agreement unless this Agreement is amended in accordance with the
procedures applicable to the adoption of development agreements as set forth in the
Development Agreement Statute and Tustin CITY Code and each Party retains full discretion
with respect thereto.
3.10.3 Public Health and Safety. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the
City Council of the CITY from adopting and applying New CITY Laws which the City Council
of the CITY finds are reasonably necessary to protect persons on the Property or in the
immediate community, or both, from conditions dangerous to their health or safety
notwithstanding that the applications of such New CITY Laws, or other similar limitation would
result in the impairment of DEVELOPER'S Vested Rights under the Agreement or the Existing
Land Use Regulations. In determining whether any such New CITY Laws are reasonably
necessary to protect persons as set forth above, the City Council shall make findings, based on
evidence presented to and accepted by the City Council that the changes are reasonably
necessary to protect the public health or safety. The provisions of this Section 3.10.3 do not
apply to any measure adopted by initiative.
3.10.4 Uniform Construction Codes and Regulations. Policies and rules
governing engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and
private improvements, including all uniform codes adopted by CITY and any local amendments
to those codes adopted by CITY in the future shall apply to the Project and Property.
3.10.5 Police Power. The Parties acknowledge and agree that CITY can not
contractually limit its own police power, its power to address actual or potential threats to public
health or safety, including but not limited to environmental regulations (including without
limitation NPDES) or its emergency authority or powers. The foregoing limitations,
reservations, and exceptions are intended to reserve to CITY all of its powers that cannot be
limited. In all respects not provided for in this Agreement, CITY shall retain full rights to
exercise its police powers to regulate development of the Project and Property. Any uses or
development requiring a concept plan, design review, tentative tract map, conditional use permit,
variance, or other Entitlement Approvals in accordance with Existing Land Use Regulations
shall require a permit or approval pursuant to this Agreement and notwithstanding any other
provision set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to vest DEVELOPER'S right to
issuance of such permit or approval.
17
3.11. Processing.
3.11.1 Subdivisions. A subdivision, as defined in Government Code Section
66473.7, shall not be approved unless a tentative map for the subdivision complies with the
provisions of said Section 66473.7. This provision is included in this Agreement to comply with
Section 65867.5 of the Government Code.
3.11.2 Subsequent Entitlement Approvals. By approving the Entitlement
Approvals, City has made a final policy decision that the Project is in the best interests of the
public health, safety and general welfare. Accordingly, City shall not use its discretionary
authority in considering any application for a Subsequent Entitlement Approval, including, but
not limited to, the City's administrative consideration of planned unit development permits,
conditional use permits and subdivision maps, within the Project Site to change the policy
decisions reflected by the Entitlement Approvals or otherwise to prevent or delay development
of the Project as set forth in the Entitlement Approvals. Instead, the Subsequent Entitlement
Approvals shall be deemed to be tools to implement those final policy decisions and shall be
issued by City so long as they comply with this Agreement and Applicable Law and are not
inconsistent with the Entitlement Approvals as set forth above. CITY shall employ all lawful
actions capable of being undertaken by CITY to promptly (i) accept all complete applications for
Subsequent Entitlement Approvals (collectively, "Applications ") and (ii) process and take action
upon Applications in accordance with applicable law with a goal of completing the review within
time frames identified in the DDA; provided however, that CITY shall not be deemed in default
under this Agreement should such time frame(s) not be met. To the extent that DEVELOPER
desires that CITY plan check or process an Application on an expedited basis and to the extent
that it requires an additional expense beyond the customary expense applicable to the general
public, CITY shall inform DEVELOPER of such additional expense, including the cost of
overtime and private consultants and other third - parties. If acceptable to DEVELOPER,
DEVELOPER shall pay the additional cost and CITY shall use best efforts to undertake the most
accelerated processing time as lawfully possible utilizing overtime and the services of private
consultants and third parties to the extent available. Upon the written request of DEVELOPER,
CITY shall inform DEVELOPER of the necessary application requirements for any requested
CITY approval or requirement relating to the Project. CITY may deny an application for a
Subsequent Entitlement Approval only if such application does not comply with the DDA, this
Agreement or Existing Land Use Regulations or is materially inconsistent with the Existing
Entitlement Approvals.
3.11.3 Filings. DEVELOPER shall exercise reasonable efforts to file
applications for permits and Entitlement Approvals within the time frames and schedules as
generally outlined in the DDA and shall exercise reasonable efforts to attempt to obtain permits
and Entitlement Approvals within the time frames identified in the DDA; provided, however,
that failure solely to comply with such time frame(s) shall not be deemed to be a default under
this Agreement.
3.11.4 Cooperation. CITY and DEVELOPER shall cooperate in processing all
applications for permits and approvals for the Project, provided, however, that such cooperation
shall not include any obligation of CITY to incur any un- reimbursed expense, and CITY shall be
entitled, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the DDA and DEVELOPER's rights hereunder,
18
to exercise all discretion to which it is entitled by law in processing and issuing any permits and
approvals for the Project.
3.11.5 Approvals. Notwithstanding any administrative or judicial proceedings,
initiative or referendum concerning any of the Entitlement Approvals, CITY shall process
applications for permits and approvals as provided herein to the fullest extent allowed by law and
DEVELOPER may proceed with development of the Project pursuant to the DDA, Existing
Land Use Regulations, and Entitlement Approvals to the fullest extent allowed by law.
3.12. Infrastructure and Public Facilities. Construction of infrastructure and public
facilities will be as set forth in the DDA.
3.13. Dedications. DEVELOPER acknowledges and agrees that it is required (and will
be required) to dedicate to CITY and other public agencies on the approved parcel map, or in
conjunction with Entitlement Approvals, certain required dedications as required by the DDA,
and Existing Land Use Regulations, or by DEVELOPER pursuant to the FINAL EIS/EIR for the
MCAS Tustin Project, as amended by either supplemental documentation or addendum and as
required by DEVELOPER pursuant to DEVELOPER'S assumption of CITY MCAS Tustin
obligations under the "Agreement Between the City of Irvine and the City of Tustin Regarding
the Implementation, Timing, Funding of Transportation/Circulation Mitigation for the MCAS
Tustin Project" and the "Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Between the
City of Santa Ana and the City of Tustin Regarding the Tustin -Santa Ana Transportation
Improvement Authority ".
3.14. Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other
public agencies not within the control of CITY possess authority to regulate aspects of the
Project and development of the Property separately from or jointly with CITY and this
Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. CITY agrees to cooperate
fully, at no out of pocket cost to CITY, with DEVELOPER in obtaining any required permits or
compliance with the regulations of other public agencies provided such cooperation is not in
conflict with any laws, regulations or policies of CITY.
3.15. Tentative Tract Map Extension. The tentative parcel map, heretofore or hereafter
approved in connection with development of the Property, shall be eligible for extensions of time
as provided in Government Code Section 66452.6, except that any extension shall be consistent
with any applicable performance schedule as provided or established in the DDA and shall not
be deemed or considered in any way an extension of any DEVELOPER obligations under the
DDA.
19
4. ANNUAL REVIEW. Timing and Annual Review. The Tustin City Council shall review
DEVELOPER's performance under this Agreement at least every twelve (12) months from the
Effective Date until expiration of the Agreement. In connection with such review, both the
CITY and DEVELOPER shall have a reasonable opportunity to assert matters which either
believes have not been undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, to explain the basis for
such assertion, and to receive from the other party a justification of its position on such matters.
4.1. Review Procedure. CITY shall provide notice to DEVELOPER and deliver to
DEVELOPER or it successor in interest a copy of all public staff reports, documents and related
exhibits concerning CITY's review of DEVELOPER's performance hereunder at least 30 days
prior to any date proposed for City Council review of performance under the Agreement.
4.1.1 DEVELOPER or its Successor in Interest shall demonstrate good faith
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and shall furnish evidence of good faith
compliance, as CITY, in its reasonable exercise of its discretion, may require. Evidence of good
faith compliance may include the following:
(a) conformance with the DDA and its scope of development and
schedule of performance;
(b) conformance with the requirements of the Specific Plan; and
(c) conformance with provisions of this Agreement identified by the
CITY.
4.1.2 DEVELOPER or its successor in interest shall have the opportunity to
respond to CITY's evaluation of DEVELOPER'S performance, either orally or in a written
statement, at DEVELOPER's election.
4.1.3 The City Council may refer the matter to the Planning Commission for
further proceedings or for a report and recommendation.
4.2. Notice of Non - Compliance. If on the basis of the annual review, the CITY
determines, based upon substantial evidence, or at any other time during the term of this
Agreement, either Party concludes that the other party has not complied in good faith with the
terms of this Agreement, then such Party may issue a written "Notice of Non - Compliance"
specifying the grounds therefore and all facts demonstrating such non - compliance. The Party
receiving a Notice of Non - Compliance shall have forty -five (45) days to respond in writing to
said notice by specifying either how its non - compliance has been cured (or is diligently being
cured) or the grounds upon which it believes that it is complying with this Agreement. The time
frame to respond to a Notice of Non - Compliance may be extended by mutual agreement of the
Parties. If the response to the Notice of Non - Compliance has not been received in the offices of
the Party alleging non - compliance within the prescribed forty -five (45) days, or within such
other period of time as mutually agreed, the Notice of Non - Compliance shall be conclusively
presumed to be valid, and if the non - complying Party is DEVELOPER, the CITY may
commence proceedings on termination or modification of the Agreement pursuant to the Tustin
City Code and Section 4.3 of this Agreement. If the party receiving a Notice of Non - Compliance
responds within the time period provided above, the parties agree to meet in good faith at
20
reasonable times and from time to time for a period of at least sixty (60) days to arrive at a
mutually acceptable resolution of the matters) asserted in the Notice of Non - Compliance and
disputed in the response. If after sixty (60) days, or any extension of time as mutually agreed to
by the Parties, the Parties have failed to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such
matter(s), either Party may pursue any remedy at law or in equity, and the CITY may commence
proceedings on termination or modification of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9617 and
9618 of the Tustin City Code and Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
4.3. Modification or Termination. If the City Council determines to proceed with
modification or termination of this Agreement after following the procedure for a Notice of Non -
Compliance under Section 4.2 of this Agreement, the City Council shall give notice to
DEVELOPER or successor in interest thereto of its intention to do so. The Notice shall contain
all information required by Tustin City Code Section 9618. At the time and place set for the
hearing on modification or termination, the City Council may refer the matter back to the
Planning Commission for further proceedings or for a report and recommendation. The City
Council may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the interests of the CITY,
including but not limited to, the receipt of additional evidence as to DEVELOPER'S compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the City Council shall be final, subject only to
judicial review pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5(b).
4.4. Certificate of Agreement Compliance. If, at the conclusion of a periodic review,
DEVELOPER is found to be in compliance with this Agreement, CITY shall, upon request of
the DEVELOPER, issue a Certificate of Compliance (the "Certificate ") to DEVELOPER stating
that after the most recent periodic review and based upon the information known or made known
to the City Council that: (1) this Agreement remains in effect, and (2) DEVELOPER is not in
default. The Certificate shall be in recordable form, shall contain information necessary to
communicate constructive record notice of the finding of compliance, and shall state the
anticipated date of commencement of the next periodic review. DEVELOPER may record the
Certificate with the County Recorder.
5. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION.
5.1. Default Procedure. In addition to procedures identified in Section 4.2 and/or 4.3
of this Agreement, a non - defaulting party (the "Non- Defaulting Party ") at its discretion may
elect to declare a default under this Agreement in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set
forth for any failure or breach of any other Party ( "Defaulting Party ") to perform any material
duty or obligation of said Defaulting Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
provided the Notice of Non - Compliance procedures in Section 4.2 have first been exhausted.
However, the Non - Defaulting Party must provide written notice to the Defaulting Party setting
forth the nature of the breach or failure and the actions, if any, required by the Defaulting Party
to cure such breach or failure. The Defaulting Party shall be deemed to be in "default" of its
obligations set forth in this Agreement if the Defaulting Party has failed to take action and cure
the default within ten (10) days after the date of such notice (for monetary defaults) or within
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice (for non - monetary defaults). If, however, a non -
monetary default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, as long as the Defaulting
Party does each of the following:
21
(a) notices the Non - Defaulting Party in writing with a reasonable
explanation as to the reasons the asserted default is not curable within the thirty (30) day period;
(b) notifies the Non - Defaulting Party in writing of the Defaulting
Party's proposed course of action to cure the default;
(c) promptly commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day
period;
(d) makes periodic written reports to the Non - Defaulting Party as to
the progress of the program of cure, and:
(e) diligently prosecutes such cure to completion,
then the Non - Defaulting Party shall grant in writing the Defaulting Party such additional time as
determined by the Non - Defaulting Party as reasonably necessary to cure such default.
5.2. Default Remedies. After complying with Section 5.1, in the event of an uncured
default, the Non - Defaulting Party, at its option, may institute legal action to cure, correct or
remedy such default, enjoining any threatened or attempted violation, enforce the terms of this
Agreement by specific performance, or pursue any other legal or equitable remedy.
Furthermore, CITY, in addition to or as an alternative to exercising the remedies in this Section
5.2, in the event of a material default by DEVELOPER, may give notice of its intent to terminate
or modify this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3, in which event the matter shall be scheduled
for consideration and review by the City Council in the manner set forth in Tustin City Code
Section 9618. The decision of the City Council shall be final, subject only to judicial review
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5(b).
5.3. DEVELOPER'S Remedies. In the event that the CITY is in material default
under this Agreement, the DEVELOPER shall be entitled to any or all of the following remedies:
(1) Seeking mandamus or special writs, injunctive relief, or specific performance of this
Agreement; (2) Modifications or termination of this Agreement; or (3) Seeking any other remedy
available at law or in equity, provided, however, except as provided in Section 8.10 below, the
DEVELOPER agrees and covenants on behalf of itself and it successors and assigns, not to sue
CITY for damages or monetary relief for any breach of this Agreement or arising out of or
connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or effect of this
Agreement, or for consequential damages arising out of or connected with any dispute,
controversy, or issues regarding the application or effect of the Existing Land Use Regulations,
or any Development Permits or Entitlement Approvals sought in connection with development or
use of the Property or Project, or any portion thereof. DEVELOPER acknowledges that the
CITY would not have entered into this Agreement if the CITY could be held liable for general,
special or compensatory damages for any default or breach arising out of this Agreement and
that DEVELOPER has adequate remedies other than general, special or compensatory damages,
to secure the CITY's compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore,
DEVELOPER agrees that the CITY, its officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any
general, special or compensatory damages and that this section shall apply to any successor,
assignee or transferee of the DEVELOPER.
22
5.4. Third Party Legal Challenges. In the event of any legal action instituted by a third
party challenging the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, the Existing
Land Use Regulations, the DDA (including without limitation the Development Plan), or
Entitlement Approvals for the Project ( "Third Party Challenge "), DEVELOPER shall have the
right but not the obligation to defend any Third Party Challenge, at its expense. DEVELOPER,
in defending any Third Party Challenge shall further have the right to settle such Third Party
Challenge, provided that nothing herein shall authorize DEVELOPER to settle such Third Party
Challenge on terms that would constitute an amendment or modification of this Agreement, the
Existing Regulations, or Development Plan unless such amendment or modification is approved
by the CITY in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and CITY reserves its full
legislative discretion with respect thereto. CITY shall not incur any costs or take any actions to
defend such Third Party Challenge without DEVELOPER's approval. DEVELOPER shall also

thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device

Force Majeure Delay and which directly affects the ability of the claiming Party to meet its non -
monetary obligations under this Agreement, including the deadlines imposed by the DDA

of more than two years, the Parties shall meet and confer on mutually acceptable ways or
modifications to the Project to proceed with development thereof notwithstanding such lawsuit,
referendum or initiative. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree, the question of whether
the extension of such period of Force Majeure Delay beyond two years is reasonable under the
circumstances will be presented to the City Council (with reasonable notice to and an
opportunity to be heard by the DEVELOPER). The City Council may then decide based on its
good faith deliberations to either permit the extension of such period of Force Majeure Delay or
proceed with its remedies under this Agreement. The decision of the City Council shall be final,
subject only to judicial review pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5(6).
8.11.3 If any Party (the "First Party ") believes that an extension of time is due to
Force Majeure Delay, it shall notify the other Party (the "Second Party ") in writing within thirty

Majeure Delay, describing the Force Majeure Delay, when and how the First Party obtained
knowledge thereof, the date the event commenced, the steps the First Party anticipates taking to
respond to such Force Majeure Delay, and the estimated delay resulting from such Force

the benefits of this Agreement shall inure to, all Successors in Interest to the parties to this
Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and
constitute covenants running with the land. Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act
hereunder with regard to development of the Property: (a) is for the benefit of and is a burden
upon every portion of the Property; (b) runs with the Property and each portion thereof; and,
(c) is binding upon each party and each successor in interest during ownership of the Property or
any portion thereof.
8.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts,
which counterparts shall be construed together and have the same affect as if all of the parties
had executed the same instrument.
8.14. Jurisdiction and Venue. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 above, any action
at law or in equity arising under this Agreement or brought by a party hereto for the purpose of
enforcing, construing or determining the validity of any provision of this Agreement shall be
26
filed and tried in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or the United
States District Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, and the parties
hereto waive all provisions of law providing for the filing, removal or change of venue to any
other court.
8.15. Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed by and
between the parties hereto that the development of the Project is a private development, that
neither party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that each party is an
independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in

Agreement. The only relationship between CITY and DEVELOPER is that of a government
entity regulating the development of private property and DEVELOPER of such property.

MAP (PM) 2012 -136, FOR 533 RESIDENTIAL
APARTMENTS, INCLUDING 37 MODERATE - INCOME
AFFORDABLE UNITS, AT DISPOSITION PACKAGE 2A,
TUSTIN LEGACY (THE IRVINE COMPANY, LLC).
The Planning Commission does hereby resolve as follows:
The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for DA 2012 -001, CP 2012 -002, DR 2012-
004, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and Concessions or Incentives
authorized under Tustin City Code Section 9123, and PM 2012 -136,
was filed by The Irvine Company, LLC, requesting authorization to
develop 533 multi - family residential apartment homes, including 37
moderate - income affordable units in compliance with California
Government Code Section 65915(1), at Disposition Package 2A,
Tustin Legacy, to be implemented by The Irvine Company or its
affiliate as may be approved by the City of Tustin.
B. That the site is zoned as Planning Area 13, Community Core,
Neighborhood D in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (SP -1); and
designated MCAS Tustin (MCAS) by the Tustin General Plan. In
addition, the project has been reviewed for consistency with the Air
Quality Sub - element of the City of Tustin General Plan and has been
determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub - element.
C. That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 4.2.9 requires all private
development at MCAS Tustin to obtain a Development Agreement in
accordance with Section 65864 et seq. of the Government Code and
Sections 9600 to 9619 of the Tustin City Code. In compliance with Tustin
City Code Section 9611, the Tustin Planning Commission must make a
recommendation on the proposed Development Agreement to the City
Council. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin Planning
Commission supports Tustin City Council approval of the proposed
Development Agreement with the following findings that the project:
Resolution No. 4206
Page 2
1. Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and
programs specified in the General Plan and the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan (except for any Concessions and Incentives
authorized for the project by the Tustin City Council).
2. Is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the
real property is located (Planning Area 13). Note: the proposed
apartment project complies with the uses authorized by the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan.
3. Is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience,
general welfare, and good land use practices. Note: the proposed
provision of 37 moderate - income affordable apartment units meets
this goal.
4. Will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare.
Note: compliance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Tustin City
Code, and other regulations will ensure that the project will not be
detrimental in any way.
5. Will not adversely affect the orderly development of property. Note:
the proposed project is orderly and well designed.
6. Will have a positive fiscal impact on the City. Note: the provisions of
the proposed DDA, DA and conditions of approval will ensure that
the project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City.
D. That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 4.2.2.A requires the submission
of a Concept Plan prior to or concurrent with the submission of a new
development proposal within Planning Area 13. The project has been
found to comply with the requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan (except as authorized by any approved Concessions and
Incentives). After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin
Planning Commission has determined that the proposed project
complies with the following MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Concept Plan
review criteria. Specifically, the proposed project depicts:
1. Continuity and adequacy of all circulation systems, such as roads,
access points, trails, pedestrian ways, and other infrastructure
systems needed to serve the project;
2. Continuity and design quality of architecture and renovations
proposed, as well as landscape and hardscape theme and
treatments;
3. Satisfactory response to the urban design features specified in
Chapter 2 and under each Planning Area in Chapter 3 (Note: the
proposed project is not changing master planned circulation, utility,
traffic and related assumptions provided in Chapter 2 of the MCAS
Resolution No. 4206
Page 3
Tustin Specific Plan. No specific design features are provided for
multi - family developments in Chapter 3);
4. Conformity with the Non - Residential Land Use/Trip Budget,
including authorized adjustments (Note: this criteria is not
applicable since the project is a multi - family residential use); and,
5. Compliance with other Specific Plan provisions (Note: project
compliance with MCAS Tustin development requirements is
documented within the October 9, 2012 staff report provided to the
Tustin Planning Commission, (except as authorized by any
approved Concessions and Incentives)).
E. That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 4.2.4 requires the submission of
a Design Review application following or concurrently with submittal of a
concept plan, individual development and reuse projects within Planning
Area 13. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin Planning
Commission has determined that the proposed project's design satisfies
the following general architectural and site design principles in that:
1. The buildings define and relate to the street edge, with architecture
In addition, the proposed project's location, size, architectural features
and general appearance will not impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development therein,
the occupancy thereof, or the community as a whole, based upon a
Mn consideration of the following criteria:
1. Height, bulk and area of buildings.
2. Setbacks and site planning.
3. Exterior materials and colors.
to face the streets.
2.
The buildings interface with adjacent residential uses.
3.
The architecture is technically sophisticated in detailing.
4.
There is a rich palette of natural materials and textures.
5.
The architecture proposes visually interesting fagade treatments
with distinctive architectural elements and design details.
6.
The project utilizes varied setbacks, projections, roof lines, windows
and reveals, and elements that minimize the impact of the building
mass.
7.
The buildings are designed with traditional forms, accented by
unique architectural shapes and details.
8.
The buildings reflect high quality design through the incorporation
of coordinated architecture utilizing elements, materials, and colors
that complement the relaxed, informal style.
9.
The buildings incorporate smaller -scale architectural details such
as porches, bays, recessed or projecting balconies, and dormers to
visually reduce the height and scale of the building.
10.
The buildings utilize varied building heights.
11.
Building fagade articulation is implemented.
In addition, the proposed project's location, size, architectural features
and general appearance will not impair the orderly and harmonious
development of the area, the present or future development therein,
the occupancy thereof, or the community as a whole, based upon a
Mn consideration of the following criteria:
1. Height, bulk and area of buildings.
2. Setbacks and site planning.
3. Exterior materials and colors.
Resolution No. 4206
Page 4
4. Type and pitch of roofs.
5. Size and spacing of windows, doors and other openings.
6. Towers, chimneys, roof structures, flagpoles, radio and television
antennas.
7. Landscaping, parking area design and traffic circulation.
8. Location, height and standards of exterior illumination.
9. Location and appearance of equipment located outside of an
enclosed structure.
10. Location and method of refuse storage.
11. Physical relationship of proposed structures to existing structures in
the neighborhood.
12.Appearance and design relationship of proposed structures to
existing structures and possible future structures in the
neighborhood and public thoroughfares.
13. Proposed signing (to be submitted for staff review following project
approval)
14. Development guidelines and criteria as may be adopted by the City
Council.
Also, the project applicant has proposed community gates for the
project. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin Planning
Commission has determined that the proposed use of gates at the
project is supportable since the project is of a higher density, is in
close proximity to the District at Tustin Legacy, is surrounded by
streets on all sides, and will not impact the parking demand, usage, or
the vehicular circulation on the site.
That MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.2.3 permits the transfer of
residential units (density transfer) between parcels subject to review and
approval. After consideration of the proposed project, the Tustin Planning
Commission has determined that the requested Density Transfer is an
innovative approach to providing a significant number of affordable units
at Tustin Legacy and supports City Council approval of the request with a
condition that St. Anton Partners and The Irvine Company enter into an
Affordable Housing /Regulatory Agreement with the City of Tustin to
ensure availability of the 225 and 37 moderate - income affordable
apartment units (respectively) for 55 years.
That Tustin City Code Section 9141(b) authorizes the submission of an
application for a Density Bonus and /or Concession or Incentive to be
processed concurrently with any other permit application(s) which require
entitlements. The City must support density bonus requests, but must
make findings for any concessions or incentives requested for projects
that provide affordable housing units in compliance with California
Government Code Section 65915(1), as authorized under Tustin City
Code Section 9123. Consequently, the Tustin Planning Commission
supports Tustin City Council approval of the requested Density Bonus,
Concessions and Incentives including:
Resolution No. 4206
Page 5
Development Authorization to:
Regulation 1. Increase the number of units served by a
private "loop" drive (MCAS Tustin Section
2.5.2.B.8.b ) beyond the current limit of 87 units.
G. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for DA 2012-
001, CP 2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and
Concessions or Incentives authorized under Tustin City Code Section
9123, and PM 2012 -136 on October 9, 2012 by the Planning
Commission.
H. That on January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report
(FEIS /EIR) for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin. On December
6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 04 -76 approving a
Supplement to the FEIS /EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road
between Walnut Avenue and the future alignment of Valencia North
Loop Road. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 06 -43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS /EIR. The FEIS /EIR
along with its Supplemental and Addendum is a program EIR under
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS /EIR,
Supplemental and Addendum considered the potential environmental
impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air
Station, Tustin.
An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed project that
concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from
approval of the project (Attachment 3 of Exhibit A). The
Environmental Analysis Checklist concludes that it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may
have a significant effect on the environment because all potentially
significant effects 1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.
Further, Government Code Section 65457, subdivision (a), establishes a
statutory CEQA exemption for any residential development project,
including any subdivision, or zoning change that is undertaken to
implement and is consistent with a specific plan for which an EIR was
certified after January 1, 1980. the City has alternatively determined
that the proposed project is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant
to Government Code Section 65457.
II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council
approve DA 2012 -001, CP 2012 -002, DR 2012 -004, Density Transfer,
Density Bonus, and Concessions or Incentives authorized under Tustin City
Resolution No. 4206
Page 6
Code Section 9123, and PM 2012 -136 for 533 residential apartment units,
including 37 moderate - income affordable units, at Disposition Package 2A,
Tustin Legacy, with the findings noted above and subject to the conditions
contained within Exhibit A attached hereto.
