been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures
that are imposed upon the proposed protect

MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3 9 2 1 requires the development of affordable housing units
within Planning Area 15 including Disposition Package 1A -North The Specific Plan currently
requires 257 affordable units within Planning Area 15 The proposed protect is the first
development within Planning Area 15 and proposes a significant portion (105 units) of the 257 -
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 Planning Area 15 would be
required to address the remaining 152 -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 approved rental
affordable projects must also be restricted by agreements or covenants to ensure that they
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 a 225 -unit affordable housing proposal for Disposition Package 1A -North (100 percent
affordable) However, when considered in the context of the overall reuse project at Tustin
Legacy and Planning Area 15 as a whole, and given St Anton's expertise in operating
affordable communities staff believes that the proposed project should be supported as
meeting the reasonably dispersed requirement for the provision of affordable housing
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
summarized below
Proposal

MCAS Tustin Table 3 2 indicates that Planning Area 15 is authorized for up to 192 medium -high
density residential units (16 -25 dwelling units per acre) while the Irvine Company project in
Planning Area 13 is authorized for 376 medium -high density residential units St Anton has
requested a Density Bonus of 33 units and The Irvine Company has requested a density bonus
of 157 units (cumulatively a 33 percent density bonus) 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 The proposed St Anton residential development in PA 15 is for 225
Medium High Density units, which will generate 1 492 Average Daily Trips In comparison the
total number of residential units allowed in PA 15 is 1,214 units, which will generate a total of
10 287 Average Daily Trips Therefore, the proposed project is within the development
threshold for PA 15 and a Traffic Study or additional analysis is not warranted for this project
Concessions and Incentives
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 protect Pursuant to Section 9123b, any
proposal that includes over 15 percent Very Low Income units may request up to the three (3)
incentives The protect 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
Pursuant to Tustin City Code Section 9123, the City must grant the concession(s) or incentive(s)
requested by the applicant unless the City makes a written finding, based upon substantial
evidence of either of the following
(1) The concession(s) or incentive(s) is not required in order to provide for affordable
housing costs or for affordable housing rent for the target units
(2) The concession(s) or incentive(s) would have a specific adverse impact as defined in
Government Code Section 65589 5 subdivision (d) paragraph (2), upon public health
and safety or the physical environment or on any real property that is listed in the
California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to
satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the
development unaffordable to low and moderate income households
(3) The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law
Specifically, the applicant is requesting the following concessions and incentives for the
proposed project
Parking The applicant requests authorization to provide 434 parking spaces on site
instead of the 467 spaces required by the WAS Tustin Specific Plan The applicant
also requests the use of 88 compact spaces (compact spaces are prohibited from
meeting a residential parking requirement by the WAS Tustin Specific Plan) Also, 225
covered parking spaces are being provided instead of the 372 carports and garages
required by the code 210 parking spaces are proposed to be uncovered St Anton has
prepared a parking demand analysis (see parking study and gate analysis provided as
Attachment 2 to proposed Resolution No 12 -96 (Attachment E) that supports the 434
parking spaces provided will adequately meet the demand given the project's size and
bedroom mix
Common Open Space /Private Open Space The applicant requests authorization to
reduce the amount of on -site Common Open Space The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
requires 400 square feet per dwelling unit (90,000 square feet) The project proposes to
provide 87 822 square feet of common open space in designated recreational areas
The project also includes 14 595 square feet in private attached ground level patios and
balconies but the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan requires such space to be open on three

sides to count as common open space It should be noted that staff is recommending
that the proposed project be conditioned to require the project applicant to improve the
adjacent 4 706 acre public park site Upon completion of the proposed improvements,
staff believes that protect residents will be uniquely afforded the opportunity to utilize a
significant amount of nearby open space (Note while a reduction is being requested it
should be recognized that, through the DDA process, the developer is being required to
improve the adjacent 4 706 acre site for use as a public park (204,993 square feet of
common open space) which should be considered a part of the protect)
Setbacks The applicant requests authorization to reduce the required setback on Park
Avenue The applicant is requesting that proposed buildings and structures be allowed
to encroach 4 -12 feet into the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan required 30 foot building
setback Encroaching into the setback allows for larger and more functional primary
recreational area and more pedestrian connectivity throughout the site
Building Height The applicant requests authorization to exceed the 45 foot maximum
building height for Planning Area 15 Although a majority of the proposed buildings are
in conformance the four story recreation and mixed use building includes architectural
elements which exceed the standard On average the budding is 48 feet in height and
the architectural accent elements are 62 feet in height It should be noted that the four -
story structure is in the center of the project site and is surrounded by three story
buildings along the site's perimeter Staff believes that the four -story buildings site
placement and distance from surrounding lots and the right of -way diminishes the scale
of the structures and ensures a variety of vertical and horizontal architectural elements
that promotes visual interest in the project
Based upon the fact that the protect is proposing a very significant number of affordable units at
the site (262 of the 568 total units - 46 percent of the pre density bonus unit total), staff is
recommending that the City Council approve a fourth incentive Staff believes that the currently
proposed Density Bonus, Concessions and Incentives support the development of affordable
housing at Tustin Legacy and should be supported Density Bonus Concessions and
Incentives may only be approved by the Tustin City Council
Resolution 12 -94 has been prepared to support City Council approval of the requested Density
Bonus Concessions and Incentives with a condition that St Anton Partners and The Irvine
Company enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement and Regulatory Agreement with the City
of Tustin to ensure availability of the 225 and 37 affordable apartment units (respectively) for 55
years
Housing Authority Review and Approval
On March 15 2011, the Tustin City Council adopted Resolution No 11 -20 establishing the Tustin
Housing Authority pursuant to California Housing Authorities Law (Health and Safety Code section
34200 et seq ) On January 17, 2012, City Council adopted Resolution No 12 -08 stating that the
Housing Authority would assume all rights powers, assets, duties, and obligations associated with
the housing activities of the former Redevelopment Agency and authoring the City Manager to take
such other and further actions and sign such other and further documents, as are necessary and
proper to implement Resolution 12 -08

The Housing Authority has certain responsibilities for monitoring and enforcing provisions of the
City's affordable housing agreement — the Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants and
Regulatory Agreement (the 'Regulatory Agreement ") The Regulatory Agreement complies with
IRS guidelines involving tax credit - funded affordable housing projects and the circumstances under
which eviction of a very low income and low income tenant would be considered The Regulatory
Agreement allows moderate income tenants a one year review period after an initial determination
the tenant is no longer Income eligible If after one year the tenant is still over Income they would
be given six months to move Into market rate housing City Council approval of the proposed
project requires St Anton Partners and City of Tustin to execute such an Agreement City
Manager execution of the document is authorized by Resolution No 12 -99 Tustin Housing
Authority authorization Is requested to direct the Executive Director or City Manager to execute the

APARTMENT HOMES, TUSTIN LEGACY (ST. ANTON
PARTNERS, 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 St. Anton Partners and City of Tustin have completed and desire to
enter into Disposition and Development Agreement 2012 -002, and St.
Anton Partners has submitted a proper application for DA 2012 -002, CP
2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and Density Bonus requesting
authorization to develop 225 affordable residential apartment housing
units in compliance with California Government Code Section 65915(1)
required for the proposed development of Tustin Legacy Disposition
Package 1A -North, to be implemented by St. Anton Partners or its affiliate
as may be approved by the City of Tustin.
B. That the site is zoned as Planning Area 15, Community Residential,
Neighborhood G 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 Council Resolution No. 12 -96
Page 2
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
Specific Plan / Reuse Plan. The FEIS /EIR for the reuse of MCAS Tustin
City Council Resolution No. 12 -96
Page 3
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 -96 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

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 8.073 acres for multi - family development and 4.706 acres for park
development (12.779 acres gross) located within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan boundaries
affecting only Disposition Package 1A -North, which is an irregular parcel within Planning Area
15 of Neighborhood G. The project site is bounded by future Tustin Ranch Road on the east,
future Legacy Road on the north, future Park Avenue on the west, and a vacant parcel to the
south.
The proposed development of Tustin Legacy Disposition Package 1A -North is to construct 225
multi - family residential apartment homes ("Project"). The proposal requests City of Tustin
consideration of Development Agreement (DA) 2012 -002, Concept Plan (CP) 2012 -003, Design
Review (DR) 2012 -005, Density Transfer, Density Bonus, and Concessions or Incentives
authorized under Tustin City Code Section 9123 related to the provision of 225 affordable
residential apartment housing units in compliance with California Government Code Section
65915(1).
The Project proposes to develop 225 multi - family residential apartment homes includes 105
affordable units (35 very low income, 20 low income and 50 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 The
Irvine Company, LLC, a developer approved by the City of Tustin to develop Disposition
Package 2A in Planning Area 13, 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 final proposed
allocation of units is as follows:

In accordance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Planning Area 15 allows Medium -High
Density Residential at 16 -25 dwelling units per acre. The Project proposes a density of
approximately 17.6 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 the
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

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 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 project is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. The project
would be consistent with the permitted uses identified within the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. The development of residential apartment units within Planning Area 15 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 they relate to design of Tustin Ranch Road, Legacy
Road, Park, Park Avenue 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
Tustin City Council in the FEIS /EIR, Addendum and Supplement; and applicable measures

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 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. 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.
Mitigation/Monitoring 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
Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001.

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 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. 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 225 units on 12.779 acres (17.6 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. Therefore, no significant impact beyond what was analyzed in the
adopted FEIS /EIR is anticipated. 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 altematives that was not
known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring 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

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 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 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 waters/wetlands and the
southwestem 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
882601.1

Page 7
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 southwestem 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
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to biological 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: No mitigation is required.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES: - Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource
as defined in §15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
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 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 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.
A portion of the previously existing blimp pads are within the project site boundary that,
through the Section 106 process, 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
882601.1
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2012 -002, CP 2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and Density Bonus
Page 8
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.
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 altematives
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.

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: — Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including
the risk of Toss, 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?

Page 9
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -1 -B of the Uniform
Building Code (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 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 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
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.

VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: — Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonable foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of
hazardous materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or
proposed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government code Section 65962.5 and, as a result,
would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public use airport,
would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the
project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized
areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The 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 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
conceming 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
882601.1

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.

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: - Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge, such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume
or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of
pre - existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support
existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which
would result in flooding on- or off-site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially
increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result
in flooding on- or off -site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing
or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional
sources of polluted runoff?
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?
1) 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)

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 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
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 hydrology and water 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 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.

rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is
required.

IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency
with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited, to the general
plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the
purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
The proposed development of Disposition Package 1A -North would include a total of
225 affordable Medium -High Density residential apartment units (88 very low income, 73
low income, and 64 moderate income). 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 15, which contemplates
the development of 1214 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 15's development standards for multiple family residential units as noted in
Sections 3.9.2.G of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. 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.

X. MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project:
a) Result in the Toss 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 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.
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 known to be on the site or identified as being present on the site by any
mineral resource plans. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the
analysis previously completed in the FEIS /EIR 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 mineral 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.

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?

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2012 -002, CP 2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and Density Bonus
Page 15
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 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 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
Exhibit 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 project 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 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, and
the number of dwelling units proposed by the Project is under the maximum
development threshold for Planning Area 15, which contemplates the development of
1214 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

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 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 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.
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 Neighborhood G is 2,383
units; the total number of units approved in the Specific Plan for Planning Area 15 is
1214 The applicant is requesting approval of 225 units (representing 9% of the total
number of units allowed in Neighborhood G, and 18% of the total units allowed in
Planning Area 15). No other residential units have been previously built in Planning
Area 15. 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
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.

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 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 project includes improvement of an adjacent, 4.706 acre neighborhood park that will be
available to the public.

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, pursuant to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, the developers are
required to provide in -lieu fees or public accessible park space (where approved by the
City). Projects that do not propose the subdivision of property are exempt from the
provisions of the Quimby Act. In addition, the Disposition and Development Agreement
between the City and the developer will require that the private developer will improve the
adjacent park site.
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
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.

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?

Page 20
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 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, and
the number of dwelling units proposed by the Project is under the maximum
development threshold for Planning Area 15, which contemplates the development of
1214 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 Exhibit 2). Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the approved FEIS /EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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 traffic. 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

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?
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves
or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's
projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste?
The proposed 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 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 full width improvements on Tustin Ranch
Road, Legacy 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. In addition, 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
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to utilities and service systems. 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

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental
effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the
effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
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.

CONCLUSION
The summary concludes that all of the proposed projects 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 altematives 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
Considerations were adopted for the FEIS /EIR on January 16, 2001 and shall apply to the
proposed project, as applicable.

1.0 SUMMARY
This report documents the impact of road, rail and air traffic noise on the proposed Tustin Legacy
multifamily housing in the City of Tustin. Because the proposed apartments are part of the Marine
Core Air Station (MCAS) Redevelopment Project, few roads exist on the site. Road traffic will be the
major sound source at the project site when complete. Other sound sources include commercial flights
into and out of John Wayne Airport, heavy rail traffic to the north, activity at the commercial retail site
southwest of the project site and activity in the park to the east. The latter two sound sources are non-
transportation types. The heavy rail tracks are more than 3,000 feet away. John Wayne Airport is
approximately 2.5 miles southwest of the project site but departures are near the site. Road traffic is
expected to remain the dominant sound source at the project site to the design year of 2030. Sound
generated by activity in the park east of the site is expected to increase with time. Based on the pro-
posed layout, significant group activity is not expected to occur close to the common boundary. Sound
generated in the park will be heard and could become excessive at time. This is particularly true for
organized events or activities or for random individual events. Sound from commercial properties is
expected to increase slightly. The park and commercial property generate non - transportation sound
sources that are judged based on the hourly sound level. Sound reduction is difficult for both sources.
For park produced sounds, mitigation is limited to building sound walls at the common boundary,
monitoring park activity and restricting use near the boundary. The project will create non- transporta-
tion sources such as mechanical equipment, parking lot activity and general human activity. These are
not expected to adversely influence any nearby residential property. The project will generate road
traffic, but the day -night average, Lan, sound level will increase by less than 0.5 dB(A). This is consid-
ered insignificant.
The project site is on the former MCAS and includes a multi- family residential development and
the development of a park adjacent to it, to the northeast. The residential site is bounded by Tustin
Ranch Road on the west, Legacy Road on the north and Park Avenue on the east. Tustin Ranch Road
and Park Avenue exist, but not near the project site. Legacy will be a completely new street. All of
the 15 buildings will lie on Lot 20 and the park will occupy Lot MMM. Nine of the buildings will be
next to a street, one will be in the center of the other buildings, and five will be next to an adjacent
property or the park. All the apartment buildings will be three stories tall, except for the central build-
ing, which will be four stories.
Noise Requirements of City of Tustin are given in the Noise Element chapter of the City of Tust-
in General Plan [1]* and in the Noise Control chapter of the Health and Sanitation article of the City
of Tustin Code of Ordinances [2]. The California Building Code, CBC, [3] requires a noise study
when residential property is exposed to day -night average, Lan, sound level goal of 60 dB(A) or more
in outdoor activity areas. The City uses the Community Noise Equivalent Level, CNEL, as their met-
ric of choice for transportation sources. The CNEL divides the day into three parts, day, evening and
night with penalties for evening and night sound levels. The City sets an exterior La„ sound level limit
of 65 dB for multifamily residences in common recreation areas and patios or balconies of 6 feet or
more in depth. The CNEL is typically higher than the Lan sound level, but by no more than 0.5 dB.
The City and the State have an interior Lan sound level limit of 45 dB in habitable spaces such as bed-
rooms.

Existing plus project exterior L& sound levels are predicted to be 53 to 67 dB(A) when measured
at the buildings' exterior, on balconies, or in common recreation areas. Road traffic is the main source.
The impact of the change in exterior Ldn sound level from cumulative to cumulative plus project is
insignificant. The changes in all predicted exterior Lda sound levels are at or less than 70 dB(A), and
less than 65 dB(A) in the common recreation areas or on the balconies, the impact is considered insig-
nificant. Additional exterior sound reduction is not required.
The cumulative plus project exterior Lda sound levels were used to predict the interior Ldn sound
levels in habitable rooms closest to roadways. A 45 dB Lth, sound level design goal was used in the
evaluation of these spaces with the application of a 2 dB margin of safety. The margin of safety ac-
counts for inaccuracies in the model and the use of laboratory data that will not reflect field construc-
tion procedures and techniques. Interior Ldo sound levels will not exceed the City's 45 dB Criteria nor
the Design Goal of 43 dB(A). Predictions were done based on the proposed construction shown in the
architectural drawings [4]. Interior La sound level impacts will be insignificant relative to the City's
limit and the design goal. Special mitigation measures will not be required but certain minimums
material and construction techniques must be followed to comply with the assumption used in arriving
at these conclusions.
Non - transportation sound sources associated with the park could produce levels that exceed the
City's Noise Ordinance. The park is not set up for organized athletics or concerts and sound reinforce-
ment systems will not be allowed. The park has been designed maximize the distance between picnic
areas and play areas and the boundary common to the apartments. Spontaneous or unorganized events
such as birthday parties could generate excess sound if held close to the common boundary. Ideally,
people should be encouraged to hold such events in the designated areas and to be within 50 feet of the
common boundary during such gathers. The design allows visual access between the multifamily
dwellings and the park and a gate at one location allows access from the apartments. The proposed
wall separating the two uses provides both visual and acoustical views between the park and the apart-
ments. That is, the wall not stop people from looking into the opposite area and neither will it stop
sound from passing back and forth. Administrative action should be pursued first to prevent excess
sound generation by designing the areas closest to the common boundary to prevent any gatherings. If
a problem persists with excess sound from the park, building a sound wall along the common boundary
could be an option. This would only be undertaken after tests show that the City's limits are exceeded
and administrative options have been exhausted.
2.0 ACOUSTIC STANDARDS
Noise sensitive projects fall under the jurisdiction of two sets of acoustical criteria as published
by the City of Tustin. The first criterion is given in the Noise Element chapter of the City of Tustin
General Plan [1]. The second standards are contained in the Noise Control chapter of the Health and
Sanitation article of the City of Tustin Code of Ordinances [2]. These are described below.
2.1 Noise Element Standards
Acoustic criteria contained in the Noise Element of the City of Tustin General Plan are based on
the Community Noise Equivalent Level, CNEL, sound level. This criterion addresses the average
sound level over 24 -hours and is directed mainly at transportation sources. Table N -3 of the Noise
Elements sets an interior noise limit is CNEL 45 dB and the exterior noise limit is CNEL 65 dB. The
interior noise standard is with windows closed. For multifamily residences, the exterior requirement
2

The
applies on patios and balconies with a depth of 6 feet or more and in common recreation areas. For the
purpose of this project, common recreation areas are the courtyards of Buildings 8 and 9 and the recre-
ation/pool area.
Both the CNEL and Ld, metrics address the average sound level over 24 -hours and are directed
mainly at transportation sources. The day -night noise descriptor averages measured or predicted sound
levels over 24 -hours after applying a 10 dB penalty to nighttime sounds. Hourly average sound levels,
Leo are measured or predicted for each hour of the day or for each hour during which a sound source is
present. A 10 dB penalty is added to each hourly average sound level measured or predicted from
10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. The penalty is applied because people trying to sleep during these hours are
more sensitive to external sounds. The CNEL divides the day into three parts instead of two. Daytime
is defined as 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. while the evening is the hours between 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The same nighttime penalty is applied for the CNEL but the evening has a 5 dB penalty for sound
measured during these hours. The 10 dB nighttime penalty is equivalent to multiplying the number of
train, plane or road "events" by 10. That is, the volume is increased by a factor of 10. The evening
penalty used by the CNEL is equivalent to multiplying the number of "events" by 3. Typically, the
CNEL is about 0.5 dB(A) higher than the La, sound level at any site. This is within the prediction
error for these metrics. However using the CNEL is difficult for many sources because there is no
specific information for 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Therefore, the day -night average, La,,, is used instead
for many sources such as road traffic. Excluding or including only certain sources is possible. For
example, the sounds of aircraft flying over the site are included only during those hours when they
occur. If no events happen during the nighttime, no penalty would be applied. When some sources are
excluded from the analysis, it is called the Background La, or CNEL sound level.
2.2 Noise Control Ordinance
The second criteria, the Noise Ordinance [2], looks at the sound produced during shorter times by
sources not related to transportation equipment. The one exception is that sound produced by trans-
portation equipment while on private property may be regulated by the Noise Ordinance. This Ordi-
nance limits the amplitude and duration of sound produced over any given 1 -hour period. Sound limits
are based on the type of source, the duration of the sound, the time of day of occurrence, background
sound levels and the tonal content of sound. This is a City code and is enforceable with limited excep-
tions. The Noise Control Ordinance applies a 5 dB penalty to the limits when the sound comprises
mainly speech or music or if it contains pure tones or impact sounds. When background sound levels
equal the limits given in Table I for the individual categories, the limit of that category is raised to
reflect the background sound. The exact meaning of this is unclear. Table I summarizes limits of the
Noise Ordinance with and without a penalty but without regard to the background sound level. The
background sound level is that measured when the source or sources of interest are absent. Sound
generated at the project by people or mechanical equipment will be required to meet limits of the Noise
Ordinance at all nearby residential property. Sound generated at the park will be required to meet
these limits at the multifamily development.
The City also has a sound level limit for the interior of multifamily units. Again, the limits are
based on the sound measured over an hour. This standard is believed to apply to sources within adja-
cent units and for sources exterior to the building. Penalties apply for time of day and sound character-
istic. The influence of background sound on the limits is the same as for the exterior. Table II pro-
vides a summary of the interior noise standards for non - transportation sound sources.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION & SITE
The project site is on an undeveloped plot of land that was part of a Marine Corps Air Station.
The property has been turned over to the City of Tustin for redevelopment. The infrastructure will
have to be installed before residential development can begin. A 12.2 acre parcel that is to be bor-
dered on the west by Tustin Ranch Road, on the north by Legacy Road, and on the east by Park Ave-
nue in the MCAS redevelopment project (Lots 20 and MMM of tract number 17404 [5]) is proposed to
be developed for affordable multifamily housing (7.49 acres) and a park (4.71 acres). A total of 225
units is to be constructed at the site in 14 3 -story buildings and one 4 -story building. The latter build-
ing includes the rental offices, club room, and fitness facilities as well as several apartments on the
ground floor. Four of the buildings front Park Avenue, three front Tustin Ranch Road, one is on the
corner of Tustin Ranch Road and Legacy Road, one fronts Legacy Road, one fronts an adjacent lot
(Lot 21), four front the park, and one is in the center of the other buildings.
All land that is part of the MCAS redevelopment project is currently vacant. Single - family
homes may be built on land surrounding the project site but at this time no land uses are confirmed.
Southwest of the project is an existing commercial retail center bordered on the north by the existing
4
RI2135: SAP, MS and Recommendations to Meet Noise Limits; Tustin Legacy Apis, August 28, 2012
section of Tustin Ranch Road and an existing section of Warner Avenue. The Google Earth program
suggests that the property is currently about 45 to 47 feet above seal level (ASL) while the Tustin Leg-
acy civil engineering grading plans suggest that the finish floor elevations will range from 52 to 57 feet
ASL. The land will be fairly flat at the project site when complete.
Four basic apartment building designs are to be built with nine basic apartment layouts. All
apartments have 9 foot ceilings. The 3 -story buildings are designated at Types A (10), B (2), and C
(2). The 4 -story building is D and is the apartments cum recreation and rental office building in the
center of the development. Only four of the nine apartment layouts are evaluated as representative of
the worst case scenarios for this study. A typical exterior wall construction comprises 1 -coat stucco
over wire mesh, fastened to 1" thick insulation applied over 2- layers of building paper fastened to
7/16" shear plywood attached to minimum 2" x 4" wood studs. R -11 insulation is to be installed in all
stud cavities with 5/8" Type X gypsum board attached to the interior face of the studs. The ceilings of
all living units will be finished with gypsum board. Double glazed windows will be used throughout
all units.
4.0 SOUND SOURCES
4.1 Existing
The proposed development is part of the Marine Core Air Station redevelopment project. None
of this land tract has been developed at this point. This includes a lack of roads on the property. Cur-
rently, Tustin Ranch Road borders a commercial retail center southwest of the project site but does not
continue onto the MCAS redevelopment land. Once roads are built on the MCAS redevelopment site,
road traffic on Tustin Ranch Road, Legacy Road, and Park Avenue will be the dominant sound source
influencing the project site. Other sound sources are secondary in importance and include aircraft
flyovers, heavy rail traffic, dogs barking and general human activity.
Railroad tracks exist just north of Edinger Avenue, which forms the north border of the MCAS
redevelopment lands. These tracks are approximately 3,900 feet from the proposed project site. The
volume of traffic on the tracks is unknown. Table III provides the assumptions made regarding vol-
ume, number of engines, speed and percent of nighttime traffic.

John Wayne Airport in Irvine is approximately 2.5 miles southwest of the project site. The main
runway runs approximately southwest to northeast. Typical flight patterns carry the aircraft north of
the project site. The site is outside any standard noise contours generated by airport operations. The
airport maintains noise level monitoring sites including three north of the airport (8N, 9N, 10N) [6].
5
R12135: SAP, NIS and Recommendations to Meet Noise Limits; Tustin Legacy Apts, August 28, 2012
Sites 8N and ION are generally in line with the runway while 9N is offset to the west. This project site
is offset to the east further than 9N is to the west, so 2010 published aircraft noise levels for site 9N
were used to estimate the noise impact on the proposed project from John Wayne Airport. Standard
noise levels for heavy rail traffic moving through urban areas at the same distance were used to predict
the sound impacts on the proposed project site from the railroad traffic.
4.2 Existing + Project
Once roads are built on the MCAS redevelopment property, road traffic will be the dominant
sound source on the project site. Tustin Ranch Road will have 2 -lanes running each direction along
the west border of the property. Legacy Road will have a single lane running along the north border of
the property of both the apartment complex and the park. Park Avenue also will have a single lane
running along the east border of the property of both the apartment complex and the park. Road traffic
counts were based on data in Volume 2 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement /Environmental
Impact Report for the Disposal and .Reuse of MCAS Tustin, FEIS /EIR [71. This document provided
2005 and 2020 counts. The project has not started so the 2012 volumes were assumed to be the same
as for 2005 since the project has not progressed. Legacy Road was not included in the redevelopment
FEIS/EIR. The road was assumed to be the sam as Park Avenue. Table IV summarizes the data used
to model the existing plus project Lth, sound levels.

Rail and air traffic are not expected to change from existing to existing plus project. The infor-
mation given in the section on Existing Sound sources was used to find the exiting plus project La„
sound level.
4.3 Cumulative + Project
Road traffic on Tustin Ranch Road, Legacy Road and Park Avenue are expected to remain the
dominant sound source at the Tustin Legacy Apartments in the year 2030. Traffic generated by the
project will have a small impact on the total volume on these roads because the developments on the
other lots on Tract 17404 are expected to be built at approximately the same time as the proposed pro-
ject. Train movements and aircraft flights will remain sound sources of secondary importance. Very
little change is expected in the volume of traffic for these sources. The information in the section on
Existing sound sources will be applicable. Other secondary sound sources will include general avia-
tion flights, mechanical equipment and general human activity. Only vehicle volumes could be quanti-
fied.

1(12135: SAP, NIS and Recommendations to Meet Noise Limits; Tustin Legacy Apts, August 28, 2012
The project will potentially be impacted by non - transportation sound sources and will impact
other residential areas because of such sources. The project will add new non - transportation sound
sources including mechanical equipment, trash collection, vehicle movements in the parking lot and
general human activity. Commercial sites southwest of the site are potential sources of non- transporta-
tion sound. This includes public address systems, mechanical equipment body work tools, people
talking, vehicles moving in and out of parking lots and other general activity. Activity in the park will
be another source of non - transportation sound. Adults and children playing or yelling could generate
excessive sound. In general, quantifying these sources is difficult.
Traffic volumes will grow from existing plus project to cumulative plus project conditions as
shown in the FEIS/EIR for the redevelopment project[7]. That environmental study was based on the
year 2005 as existing and 2020 for the cumulative plus project. Traffic volumes on Tustin Ranch Road
were projected to grow at an annual rate of 4 percent to the year 2020. An assumption was made that
the 2020 projected volumes were still applicable and faster growth would occur from 2012 to 2020 to
give these volumes. Between the year 2020 and 2030, road traffic was assumed to grow at an annual
rate of 1.5 percent on this road. Park Avenue traffic volumes were not expected to grow from 2005 to
2020 in the FEIS/EIR. Then, the volume was assumed to increase at an annual rate of 3 percent per
year to the year 2030. Legacy Road traffic volumes were not available but were assumed to be compa-
rable to those on Park Avenue. The same growth rates were used also. The traffic mix and speeds
were assumed to stay the same on all roads. A summary of road traffic information used to compute
cumulative plus project Ld„ sound levels is given in Table V.

No changes were assumed in air and rail volumes or mixes to the year 2030. Information given

5.0 EXTERIOR ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT
5.1 Existing
As the MCAS redevelopment land is currently undeveloped, no measurements of existing sound
levels were made, nor were predictions of existing exterior sound levels completed. The existing
CNEL or La. sound levels are not important if there are no receivers to be impacted.
7
R12135: SAP, MS and Recommendations to Meet Noise Limits; Tustin Legacy Apts, August 28, 2012
5.2 Existing + Project
Predicted Ld, sound levels due to road traffic were made using the Federal Highway Administra-
tion (FHWA) Highway Noise Prediction Model [8]. The FHWA model was modified to include the
CalTrans noise emission levels [9]. Road visibility and ground conditions were considered in calcula-
tions of the hourly average sound levels at the worst case position outside each apartment or outdoor
area considered. The ground was assumed to be acoustically hard for all vehicle types.
The day -night average sound levels were predicted at the project site based on the data given in
Table IV for road traffic and for other background sources. Exterior sound levels were predicted for
ten positions: seven for the exterior of the apartment walls, three for balconies, and two for common
outdoor areas. Predictions for the seven apartments were done at the exterior wall of each of the seven
evaluated apartments in what was determined to be the worst position for each The courtyard and
pool were evaluated in what was determined to be the worst case spot in terms of exposure to road
noise. Three balconies were chosen, each representative of the worst case for each building. Accord-
ing to the Noise Element [1], exterior noise standards have to be met in common recreation areas and
patios or balconies with a depth of six feet or more. This requirement means that exterior noise stan-
dards do not have to be met on the balconies of apartment floor plans B 1, C 1, Al, or A2. Predictions
of the exterior Ldn sound level on the balconies were made for approximately three feet front the bal-
cony edge. Table VI gives the predicted day -night average sound levels for existing plus project con-
ditions at each of these nine positions.

Existing plus project Ls„ sound levels do not exceed the 65 dB limit in the pool, courtyard, or any
of the three balconies. These are the areas of primary concern to which the Noise Element's exterior
noise standard applies. The exterior Lm, sound levels are not excessive at any of the buildings also.

Road traffic is expected to remain the dominant sound source influencing the L6, sound levels at
the project site to the year 2030. The FHWA model was used to predict the Ldn sound levels for road
traffic for cumulative plus project conditions using information in Table V. Though the number of
trains and planes is not expected to increase significantly, each of these was increased by 1 dB to ac-
count for the worst case scenario. Similarly, the other sound from other secondary sources was in-
creased by 2 dB to account for increased activity and varied land uses in the future. Table VII presents
the predicted L,,, sound levels at the same nine positions outside the seven apartments and in the Build-
ing 8 courtyard and pool area.

Denotes outdoor areas to which the Noise Element's exterior noise standard applies.
The predicted Ls„ sound level for cumulative plus project conditions at the exterior varies from 56
to 70 dB(A). The Noise Element's 65 dB(A) noise standard applies to the two common recreation
areas and the three balconies. All of these spaces meet the noise standard, though the courtyard just
meets it with no safety factor. The exterior Ld, sound level at the face of the apartment reaches 70
dB(A).
Sound generated by people and animals using the park east/northeast of the Tustin Legacy apart-
ments could exceed the Noise Ordinance of the City. Predicting accurately sound levels for these
9

sources is not possible without complete knowledge of the people using the park, what they are doing,
where are they doing and the time of day they are doing the activity. If a typical group activity occurs
near the west boundary of the park, the sound limits will likely be exceeded. Noise making activity
that occurs farther from this boundary will result in little or no impacts. Organized sporting or musical
events could result in excess sound at the residences, especially if a sound reinforcement system is
used.
6.0 INTERIOR ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT
The State of California assumes that a 15 dB reduction can be expected from the building exterior
to the building interior with the windows open. Thus, any Ld„ sound level greater than 60 dB will
cause interior sound levels to be greater than the 45 dB limit [1 ] if the windows or doors are allowed to
be open. The Noise Element specifies that the interior noise standard of CNEL 45 dB is with the win-
dows closed. The 45 dB limit with a 2 dB margin of safety was used to evaluate the wall construction
of the Tustin Legacy apartment buildings. A margin of safety is used because the highway noise pre-
diction model is only good to ±1.5 dB(A) and because laboratory test data is used for construction
materials. The laboratory data is called the Sound Transmission Class, STC, ratings of building com-
ponents. Laboratory construction techniques can seldom be duplicated in the field. The State assumes
up to a 5 dB reduction in sound loss from the laboratory to the field. The STC rating of building prod-
ucts is used in the calculation of interior Ld„ sound levels.
Interior Ld„ sound levels were predicted for bedrooms on the second floor that were closest to the
street. Interior Ld„ sound levels are typically higher in smaller rooms, rooms with more than one exte-
rior wall, and rooms closest to Tustin Ranch Road which has the highest traffic volume and projected
speed. Because no sound measurements were made at the site, road traffic sound spectra measured at
another site with similar traffic volumes and speeds was used to calculate interior Ld„ sound levels
based on the exterior Ld„ sound level shown in Table VII. The wall construction described in the Pro-
ject Description Section was used in the prediction. A 5 dB reduction in the sound transmission was
assumed because of the source location outdoors with no reflecting surfaces nearby [ 10]. The sound
transmission loss of materials used in exterior constructions was taken from publications by the Na-
tional Institute of Tests and Standards [11] and the State of California [12]. Some data was taken from
literature published by manufacturers or computed from in house computer models.
Table VIII summarizes the predicted interior L1 sound levels for representative units closest to
each of the three roads. Exterior Ld„ sound levels shown in Table VII were used for these calculations.
Interior Ld„ sound levels are all less than the 45 dB required by the City and less than the re-
quired level with a 2 dB(A) margin of safety. Sound impacts will be less than significant and mitiga-
tion measures are not required. The predicted results are true assuming the construction materials and
practices meet minimum requirements. These general requirements are described in the mitigation
section of this report.
The influence of road traffic on sleep interference and speech interference was evaluated also.
The maximum sound levels in bedrooms will be less than 50 dB(A). This will be sufficient to prevent
speech and sleep interference.

7.0 ACOUSTIC IMPACT
7.1 Exterior Impact
Exterior La, sound level impacts for cumulative to cumulative plus project conditions due to
transportation sound sources are insignificant for multi - family residences. The noise impact due to the
absolute Ldo sound is insignificant because the predicted La, sound levels are at or less than 70 dB(A)
and because backyards do not exist. The La, sound level on the south side of the club house will be
less than 60 dB(A) and this was assumed to be the "backyard" for these units.
Sound levels produced by transportation and non - transportation sources associated with this pro-
ject could be significant. Sound reduction could be required, but too many unknowns exist. Both
administrative and physical sound reduction is possible.
7.2 Interior Impact
Interior La, sound level impacts are insignificant for cumulative plus project conditions based on
the County's limit 45 dB in habitable spaces. Impacts are insignificant relative to the design goal of 43
dB and the maximum sound level. These conclusions are based on the proposed floor plans and con-
struction. All walls and windows must meet minimum acoustical requirements in all areas for these
conclusions to be correct.
8.0 MITIGATION MEASURES
Exterior sound reduction is not required for this project for transportation sources. Non- transpor-
tation sound generated in the park could have a significant impact. Options are included for providing
relief for such sources, but they would be implemented only if it is determined that a need exists for
such measures. Interior sound reduction is not needed to meet noise limits for transportation sound

T
sources. General acoustical requirements must be met for any of the conclusions to be accurate. The
general requirements are given in the following outline.
I. General Requirements
A. All joints in exterior walls shall be sealed airtight around windows and doors, at the wall
perimeter and at major seams.
B. All above ground penetrations of exterior walls by electrical and plumbing components shall
include a I/4 to %2 inch airspace around the perimeter. This space shall be filled loosely with
fiberglass insulation. The space shall then be sealed airtight on both sides of the wall with a
resilient, non - hardening caulking or mastic.
C. Basic exterior wall construction for the main prayer hall shall include the following or an
equivalent:
1. Minimum 2" x 4" wood studs at a minimum 16 inches on center.
2. Minimum R -11 insulation in the stud cavities,
3. Minimum 5/8" Type X gypsum wallboard fastened to the interior face of the wood
studs. The wall shall be fully taped and finished including where perpendicular walls
intersect and where the wall meets the ceiling. The base of the walls shall be sealed
with a combination of backer rod and resilient, non - hardening caulking,
4. The exterior surface shall be finished with the following or with another product with
equal or greater surface weight.
a. Minimum 1 -layer of minimum 7/16" shear plywood with
b. 2- layers of building paper fastened over plywood.
c. I" thick dense insulation applied over building paper and fastened to studs or ply-
wood,
d. Minimum 20 gauge 1" wire mesh, and
e. 1 -coat stucco over wire mesh,
D. Windows shall have a minimum STC rating of 29 or better. Windows shall have an air infil-
tration rate of less than or equal to 0.20 CFM/lin. ft. when tested with a 25 mile an hour
wind per ASTM standards. A good quality window with I/8" float glass, 1/2" airspace, I /a"
float glass window should meet this requirement if the seals meet infiltration rates.
E. All exterior doors shall have a minimum STC rating of 29.
F. Sliding glass shall have a minimum STC 29 rating.
G. There shall be no need to open windows, doors or other exterior openings to provide ade-
quate ventilation.
II. Non - transportation Sound Sources in Park
A. Administrative
1. Ensure park is closed for general use by 10:00 p.m.
2. Encourage people to gather at the picnic areas and playgrounds that are farther from
the residential boundary.
3. Design park to limit gatherings such as birthday parties from being within 50 feet of
the west property line.
12
R12135: SAP, NIS and Recommendations to Meet Noise Limits; Tustin Legacy Apts, August 28, 2012
4 Enforce the restriction on the use of sound reinforcement systems in the park and do
not allow the use of such equipment after 8:00 p.m or dusk, whichever comes first.
B. Physical Mitigation Measures (If administrative efforts are insufficient. Use only as a last
resort)
1. Construction a minimum 6 foot tall sound wall along the boundary between the apart-
ments and the park where the current combination solid and open wall is to be built.
2. Any such wall shall have a minimum surface density of 3.5 to 4 lbs. /sq.ft.

Existing Parking Demand
When the City s (.'ode required packing rate foi condominium and multiple family is
applied to the proposed apartment project 468 parking spaces are required Howevei when
the State's Code required parking rate is applied '372 parking spaces are required Due to
the large difference in pai king requirements a pai king accumulation survey was conducted
to determine the actual parking utilization it similai sites The counts were conducted at
two similar affordable apartment projects in the ('itv of Irvine the Woodbury Walk
Apartments and the Monte into Vista Apartments on Wednesday Septcinbei 5 2012 and on
Saturday, Septeinbei 8 2012 These two existing apartment locations contain 100%
affordable units which is consistent with the proposed apartment project The count hours
were 6.00 AM to 9.00 AM and 8 00 PM to 11 00 PM on Wednesdays and 8 00 AM to 12 00
PM on Saturdays all at 30 minute intervals 1'hc Locations and count hours were

Gate Stacking
The site plan prepared by Fuscoe Engineering dated August 27 2012 shows that Anton
Legacy Apartments will share an access off of Park Avenue with the future park see
Attachment 1 Phis access will be a gated access with the entry /exit gates and call box
located past the future park parking drive aisles The gate stacking fin the proposed
apartment project is reviewed based on the Count\ of Orange Standard Plan 1107 which is
one foot of stacking per dwelling unit Therefore, a minimum of 225 feet of stacking is
required
All resident and guest parking spaces foi the proposed apartment proieet are located inside
the gated area There is an entry and exit gate separated by a 5 foot raised center median
Both the entry and exit gates are 2 piece swing gates Residents will access the gate with
entry devices (remote) while guests w ill use the call box to gain entia The gates will tike
approximately 30 seconds foi one full open close cycle but sensors will re open the gates
when additional vehicles are detected It is anticipated that rafter the initial lease period
the gates will remain closed during all hours In the event of a powei outage the gates will
automatically swing open and stay open until pow ea has been restored The call box is
located approximately halt w ay between the future. park drive aisles and the gates In
addition there is a turnaround area between the call box and the gates see Attachment 1
The project drive provides full access to the site and future pack and is approximately 10
feet wide at Park Avenue 11 feet wide at the call box and 38 feet at the gates (see
Attachment '1) The 4() foot wide cross section of the driv e consists of two inbound lanes and
two outbound lanes and a raised center median at the call box The inbound drive consists
of two 10 foot wide lanes at the entry and at the call box that narrows down to a single 20
toot wide lane at the gate fhe raised median at the call box is 5 feet wide The outbound
drive consists 01 one 1 3 toot wide lane at the gate and one 16 foot wide lane at the call box
that widens to one 10 foot wide shared through /left turn lane and a 10 foot wide right turn
lane Per Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) requirements the entry and exit lane at
the gates shrill be a minimum of 13 feet There is a secondary gated emergency vehicle
access west of the project drive along ark Avenue but it will not be accessible by residents
and guests The distance of the guest lane from the prolongation of the curb to the tall box
is 173 feet and the resident lane from the prolongation of the curb to the gate is 280 feet
l'he total stacking distance for both lanes is 453 feet which is more than the required 225
feet As a worst cast scenario the stacking distance is taken from the prolongation of the
exit Iane curb of the future park The distance of the guest lane to the call box is 61 feet and

the resident lane to the gate is 168 feet The total stacking distance under the worst case
scenario m 229 feet, which is still more than the required 225 feet
The proposed gates are located at the easterly portion of the project site The throat
distance from the proposed gates to the first on site drive aisle is 84 feet Pei OC1.A
requirements the nunnnum gate setbacks are 27 feet behind the gates and 56 feet in front
of the gates Therefore the operation of the gates will not negatively affect the on site
circulation The proposed on site garages, tuck under parking and surface parking are
distributed throughout the site to serve the fifteen buildings and none are located within
the throat area Therefo.re the operation of the gates will not negatively affect the on site
parking and distribution As detailed above, the gate stacking distance for tht proposed
apartment project is more than the required distance even under the worst case scenario
Therefore, the operation of the gates will not negatively affect vehicles utilizing the future
park the operation of the gates also will not negatively affect vehicles on Park Avenue
Conclusion
St Anton is proposing to develop the Anton Legacy Apartments in the City of Tustin w ithin
the MCAS Tustin Specific flan arca The proposed 225 multifamily dwelling units are
100% affordable and contain lou•Li income units, lou income units, and moderate income.
units The proposed project is providing a total of 135 parking spaces, which is less than the
468 paiking spaces required by Citv of Tustin but more than the 372 paiking spaces
required by State of California loo affordable housing developments St Anton is requesting
the (application of the State paiking requirements foi affordable housing developments
Therefore a parking accumulation study was conducted at two existing similai apartments
in the City of lrvinc on a weekday and one weekend day to establish the observed parking
ratio The Woodbury Walk Apartments and Montecito Vista Apartments are 100%
affordable and simile! sized Based on the results of the study the average observed
parking ratio tot both sites is 1 52 spaces per dwelling units whish is significantly different
than the parking ratio calculated from City requirements of 2 08 spaces per duelling units
However, this compares closely with the parking ratio calculated from the State parking
requirements of 1 6o spaces pei dwelling units Applying the State parking requirements
will result in a total of 372 parking spaces Therefore the proposed apartment project will
have a surplus of 63 parking spaces In addition the unit mix at the two existing
apartments suggest that more paiking spaces arc required compared to Anton Legacy
Apartments
A gate stacking analysis was also conducted foi the Anton Legacy Apartments based on the
County of Orange Standard Plan 1107 which is one foot of stacking per dwelling unit for a
total of 225 feet of stacking The separate entry and exit gates are 2 piece sing gates with
sensors to re open the gates if additional vehicles are detected The inbound drive consists
of one 10 foot guest lane and one 10 foot resident lane. which narrows down to a 20 foot
lane at the gate The distance of the guest lane from the prolongation of the entry curb is
171 feet and the resident lane to the gate is 280 feet The total stacking distance of 453 feet
Ms Rachel (.green

is more than the 225 fact of stacking required Hoti111e1 the project drat. is a shared drive
with,* future pal k and therefore a worst case scenario tot the stacking past the future park
paikink drive aisles w as conducted The distance of the guest lane to the call box is 61 feet
and the resident lane to the gate is 168 feet The total stacking distance under the worst
cast scenario is 229 feat, which is still more than the required 225 feet The location of the
entry and exit gates 1x111 not negatively affect the on site packing and circulation Since the
stacking distance is morc than the minimum required, the gates will not ncgativelh affect
vehicles utilizing the future park also the gates will not negatively affect vehicles on Park
Avenue
Please call me if you have any questions regarding the above analysis of 1f you need any
additional information
Sincerely

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 15. 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 facade 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.
City Council Resolution No. 12 -94
CP 2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and Density Bonus
Page 3
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 park, is surrounded by streets on 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
City Council Resolution No. 12 -94
CP 2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and Density Bonus
Page 4
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 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, 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. St. Anton Partners has
requested City Council approval of the requested Density Bonus,
Concessions and Incentives, including:
Parking
Authorization to:
1. Provide 434 parking spaces on site instead of
the 467 spaces required by the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan.
2. Utilize 88 compact spaces when compact
parking is not allowed within the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan.
3. Authorize 225 covered parking spaces instead of
the 372 carports and garages required by the
code.
Common
Open Space
Authorization to provide 87,822 square feet of common
open space instead of the 90,000 square feet required
by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Note: the
developer is being required to improve the adjacent
4.706 acre site for use as a public park (204,993
square feet of common open space) which should be
considered a part of the project).
Setbacks
Authorization to allow proposed buildings and
structures to encroach 4 -12 feet into the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan required 30 foot building setback.
Building
Height
Authorization to exceed the 45 foot maximum building
height for Planning Area 15 with one structure that is
62 feet in height.
I. That on October 9, 2012, the Tustin Planning Commission held a duly
called, noticed, public hearing on the matter and adopted Resolution
No. 4205 recommending that the Tustin City Council approve CP
2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and Density Bonus.

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.

City of Tustin / St. Anton
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
(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 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 2A Property, on a combined basis, is 192
residential units on the Property and 375 residential units on the Parcel 2A 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 2A Property.
(3) Accordingly, after application of the Mandatory Density Bonus, the
Property and the Parcel 2A 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 2A Property as follows: (i) the Property shall contain 225 affordable residential units
as further described in this Agreement and (ii) provided that 37 units at the Parcel 2A Property
are restricted to Moderate Income Households, the Parcel 2A Property may contain up to 533
residential units.
(5) The City has also allocated the total affordable residential units between
the Property and the Parcel 2A Property as follows: (i) the Property shall contain 88 Very Low
Income Units, 73 Low Income Units, and 64 Moderate Income Units and (ii) the Parcel 2A
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 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 2A 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.
i. One concession requested by the applicant for the Property is an
increase in the maximum height of certain structures beyond the 45 foot maximum building
height for the Property under the Specific Plan.
City of Tustin / St. Anton
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
ii. A second concession requested by the applicant for the Property is
a reduction in the setback on Park Avenue, through an encroachment of 4.5 feet into the Specific
Plan required 30 -foot building setback.
iii. A third concession requested by the applicant for the Property is
the allowance of the following parking spaces for the Project: (A) 434 spaces instead of the 467
spaces required by the Specific Plan; (B) 88 compact spaces that are not permitted by the
Specific Plan for residential projects; and (C) 225 covered parking spaces instead of the 372
carports and garages required by the City Code.
iv. A fourth concession requested by the applicant for the Property is
the reduction in the gross area of on -site Common Open Space such that the Project would
contain 87,822 square feet of on -site Common Open Space instead of the 90,000 square feet of
on -site Common Open Space required under the Specific Plan.
H. In accordance with the allocated affordable dwelling units described above, and in
connection with density bonus for the Property and the Parcel 2A 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) 225 dwelling units in the Project at the Property, of which all 225 units will be
reserved for Affordable Housing Units as follows: 88 Very Low Income Units, 73 Low Income
Units, and 64 Moderate Income Units; (ii) the concessions described in Recital G above.
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 Term of this Housing Agreement.

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.

City of Tustin / St. Anton
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. 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 Workforce Housing 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

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

provisions of this Section 2.
2.3.10. Owner shall deliver written notice to all occupants of the
Affordable Housing Units within the Project stating each rent increase, and stating that such rent
increase has been made pursuant to all applicable Governmental Requirements, including the

holder of a certificate or voucher under 24 CFR Part 982 Section 8 Rental Certificate Program or
Section 8 Rental Voucher Program or to the holder of a comparable document evidencing
participation in a tenant -based assistance program, solely because of the status of the Qualified
Household as a holder of such certificate of family participation, rental voucher, or comparable
tenant -based assistance document.
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 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. Adjustments 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
City of Tustin / St. Anton
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
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
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 Affordable Housing 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 Units. If, as a result of the annual verification of
incomes required pursuant to Section 2.9.5, Owner determines that a household occupying a
Very Low Income Unit or a Low Income Unit has Income that exceeds 140% of the then
applicable income limit for such Unit, then such Unit shall be an "Over- Income Unit". An
Over - Income Unit shall remain an Affordable Housing Unit; provided that such Unit shall be
deemed to be a Low Income Unit or a Moderate Income Unit, as applicable, based upon the
actual Income for such household at the time of the Income Verification. In such event, Owner
shall lease the next available Affordable Housing Unit in the Project (regardless of its previous
characterization) to a Qualified Household that is a Very Low Income Household if the Over -
Income Unit was previously a Very Low Income Unit, or to a Low Income Household if the
Over - Income Unit was previously a Low Income Unit. As an example of the foregoing and not
in limitation thereof, if a tenant is a Very Low Income Household when such tenant first leased a
Very Low Income Unit, and such tenant subsequently provides an Income Verification that
shows such tenant to have the income of a Moderate Income Household, then the Affordable
Housing Unit occupied by such tenant shall be a and shall thereafter be deemed to be a Moderate
Income Unit.
2.7.2. Over- Income Moderate Income Units. If, as a result of the
annual re- examination of incomes required pursuant to Section 2.9.51 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 Income Verification. If, at the subsequent Income
City of Tustin / St. Anton
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
Verification, the income of the tenant occupying the unit again does not qualify, then Owner
shall request that such tenant vacate the Unit within one hundred eighty (180) days after such
subsequent Income Verification date. If such tenant fails to consensually vacate the Unit within
such 180 -day period, then Owner shall commence eviction proceedings and shall prosecute such
proceedings to completion, causing the tenant to vacate the Unit.
2.7.3. 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 Term of this Housing Agreement, there shall never be fewer than 225 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 (1) reasonable attempts are made to rent the
dwelling unit, and (2) no other Units of comparable or smaller size in the building are rented to
persons who are not Qualified Households.
2.7.4. Allocation of Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, it
is the intent of this Housing Agreement that all of the Affordable Housing Units shall be
allocated among Moderate Income Units, Low Income Units, and Very Low Income Units and
positioned within the Project, as provided in Section 2.2. In the event the application of the
provisions in this Section 2 result in an allocation of Affordable Housing Units different from
that provided in Section 2.2.3, Owner shall lease the next available Affordable Housing Unit to a
Qualified Household (whether Moderate Income Household, Low Income Household, or Very
Low Income Household, as the case may be), in order to correct the allocation.
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.

City of Tustin / St. Anton
Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants
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

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

satisfactory to the Program Administrator. The Parties agree that so long as Owner obtains proof
of legal residency as part of the Income Verification, then Owner's additional compliance with
the TCAC Procedures shall be deemed to be compliance with the requirements in this
Section 2.9.3; provided that if requiring proof of legal residency is prohibited by law, then
Owner's additional compliance with the TCAC Procedures alone shall be deemed to be
compliance with the requirements in this Section 2.9.3.

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 ANTON LEGACY TUSTIN
L.P.,, a California limited partnership ( "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 seg., 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 concern to DEVELOPER to offset or
remove the disincentives and uncertainties set forth in Paragraph F above:
1. 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 15). 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 225
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) Will not adversely affect the orderly development of property. Note: the
proposed project is orderly and well designed.
(f) 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
authorizing its execution.

65868 and Tustin CITY Code Section 9615. This provision shall not limit any remedy of CITY
or DEVELOPER as provided by this Agreement. Either party or Successor in Interest may
propose an amendment to or cancellation, in whole or in part, of this Agreement. Any
amendment or cancellation shall be by mutual consent of the parties or their Successors in
Interest except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, in Government Code Section 65865.1,
or in the Tustin City Code. Any amendment to this Agreement which does not relate to the Term
of this Agreement, permitted uses of the Project, provisions for the reservation or dedication of
land the conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements relating to subsequent discretionary
approvals of City, or monetary exactions of DEVELOPER, shall be considered an
"Administrative Amendment ". The City Manager or assignee is authorized to execute
Administrative Amendments on behalf of City and no action by the City Council (e.g. noticed
public hearing) shall be required before the parties may enter into an Administrative
Amendment. However, if in the judgment of the City Manager or assignee that a noticed public
hearing on a proposed Administrative Amendment would be required, City's Planning
Commission shall conduct a noticed public hearing to consider whether the Administrative
Amendment should be approved or denied, and shall make a recommendation to the City
Council on the matter. The Tustin City Council shall conduct a noticed public hearing to
consider the request and the Planning Commission's recommendation on the matter. At the
conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may approve, deny, or conditionally approve
the amendment. The Vested Rights may not be amended except by amendment of this
Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of amendments affecting portions of the Project,
only the consent of the owner of such portion shall be required so long as the amendment does
not diminish the rights appurtenant to or increase the burdens upon any other portion of the
Project Site. Any amendment of City land use regulations including, but not limited to, the
General Plan, applicable Specific Plan or City's zoning ordinance, shall not require amendment
of this Agreement. Instead, any such amendment shall be deemed to be incorporated into this
Agreement at the time that such amendment is approved by the appropriate City decision maker,
so long as such amendment is consistent with this Agreement.
10

have any further right or obligation hereunder except with respect to any obligation to have been
performed prior to such termination or with respect to any default in the performance of the
provisions of this Agreement which has occurred prior to such termination or with respect to any

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
3.1. Public Benefits. This Agreement provides assurances that the Public Benefits
identified below will be achieved and developed in accordance with the applicable rules and
Entitlement Approvals and with the terms of the DDA, the Specific Plan and this Agreement,
and subject to the City's Reservation of Authority (Section 3.10). The Project will provide local
and regional public benefits to the City, including without limitation: new jobs, housing in
immediate adjacency to employment, affordable housing for persons and families of moderate
incomes.
3.2. DEVELOPER Objectives. In accordance with the legislative findings set forth in
Government Code Section 65864, the DEVELOPER wishes to obtain reasonable assurances that
the Project may be developed in accordance with the applicable rules and project approvals and
with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the City's Reservation of Authority. To the
extent of Project development, and as provided by Section 3.5.2, DEVELOPER anticipates
making capital expenditures or causing capital expenditures to be made in reliance upon the
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.
12
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
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 225 -unit residential apartment complex at Disposition Package
Site 1A- North, Tustin Legacy, including 88 very low income, 73 low
income, and 64 moderate income rental units, consistent with the DDA,
this Agreement and Project approvals.
13
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

d. The DEVELOPER acknowledges that the City has elected to fund certain
portions of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure 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.
f. Focal Park: DEVELOPER shall be responsible for design, construction,
and associated costs of certain Local Improvement (Non- Tustin Legacy
Backbone Program Improvements) to include the following:
1. The full improvement of the 4.7 -acre Focal Park designed to City
public park standards to be located on Lot MMM at the southwest
corner of Legacy Road and Park Avenue. Full improvements
include all water lines, gas, storm drainage, telephone, electricity,
cable TV, sewage and reclaimed water, telemetry and any
necessary telecommunication systems and as shown in the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan and/or Irvine Ranch Water District Sub Area
Master Plan for Tustin Legacy, and/or as approved by the City and

focal park program as envisioned includes amenities such as:
a. Informal and open Turf area;
b. Shade trees and flowering accent trees;
c. Shrubs;
d. Groundcover;

Lot MMM of Tract Map 17404 and facilities, free and clear of all
monetary and non - monetary liens and encumbrances excepting
only those non - monetary liens and encumbrances approved by the
City, together with an ALTA title policy issued by the Title
Company, with policy amount equal to $10,000 or in such other
minimum policy amount that Title Company agrees to issue,
evidencing ownership of the Park Parcel by the City and showing
only those exceptions to title approved by the City. For purposes
of the foregoing, the City shall be deemed to have approved any
non - monetary liens and encumbrances listed in Exhibit B to the
Preliminary Title Report attached to the DDA that are not removed
by the Title Company in the ALTA Policy issued to Developer at
the Close of Escrow. In order to effectuate this provision, until
completion of the Park Facilities, Developer shall not encumber
the Park Parcel with any Mortgage unless such Mortgage and all
instruments recorded against the Park Parcel clearly provide for the
release of the Park Parcel from the lien of such Mortgage promptly
upon request therefor by the City and at no cost or expense to
15
Developer or the City, in form and substance approved by the City
in its sole discretion.
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
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.
16
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
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
17
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
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.
18
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.
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
19
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,
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
20
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.
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

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:
(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
23
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.
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
indemnify and hold harmless the CITY and its agents, officials and employees from and against
all claims, losses, or liabilities assessed or awarded against the CITY by way of judgment,
settlement, or stipulation.
6. INDEMNITY BY DEVELOPER. DEVELOPER agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless CITY, CITY's designees, and their respective elected and appointed officials, boards,
commissions, agents, contractors, and employees from and against any and all actions, suits,
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations and expenses (including but not limited
to attorney's fees and costs) which may arise, directly or indirectly, from the acts, omissions, or
operations of DEVELOPER or DEVELOPER's agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or
employees pursuant to this Agreement, but excluding any loss resulting from the intentional or
active negligence of the CITY, CITY's designee, or each of their respective elected and
24
appointed officials, boards, commissions, officers, agents, contractors, and employees.
DEVELOPER shall select and retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the CITY to defend any
action or actions and DEVELOPER shall pay the cost thereof. The indemnity provisions set
forth in this Agreement shall survive termination of the Agreement.

prevent or limit DEVELOPER, in any manner, from encumbering the Property or any portion
thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device
securing financing with respect to the Property, subject to any terms or provisions of the DDA to
the extent relating to the encumbrance of the Property by any mortgage, deed of trust or other
security device. Any Mortgagee of the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and
privileges:

or acceptance of title or any right or interest in or with respect to the Property or any portion
thereof by a mortgagee (whether pursuant to foreclosure, trustee's sale, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, lease termination or otherwise) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and any such mortgagee who takes title to the Property or any portion thereof shall be
entitled to benefits arising under this Agreement.
(b) Each Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the
Property, or any part thereof, shall upon written request in writing to CITY, be entitled to receive
written notice from CITY of results of the Annual Review and of any default by DEVELOPER
in the performance of DEVELOPER's obligations under this Agreement.
(c) If CITY timely receives a request from a Mortgagee requesting a
copy of any notice of default given to DEVELOPER under the terms of this Agreement, CITY
shall provide a copy of that notice to the Mortgagee concurrently with delivery of the notice of
default to DEVELOPER. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the
default during the remaining cure period allowed such party under this Agreement (including any
extended cure period necessary in order to allow the Mortgagee to obtain title to the Property and
cure the default).
(d) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any
part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or deed in lieu of such
foreclosure, shall take the Property, or part thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have
an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform any of DEVELOPER'S obligations or
other affirmative covenants of DEVELOPER hereunder, or to guarantee such performance;
except that (i) the Mortgagee shall have no right to develop the Property without fully complying
with the terms of this Agreement, the DDA, Existing Land Use Regulations and Entitlement
Approvals and (ii) to the extent that any covenant to be performed by DEVELOPER is a
condition precedent to the performance of a covenant by CITY, the performance thereof shall
continue to be a condition precedent to CITY's performance hereunder.
25
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section, any Mortgagee
shall be subject to all of the terms of the DDA, to the extent applicable pursuant to the DDA to
such Mortgagee. CITY's terms are subject to lender review.

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.
Resolution No. 4205

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 park, 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 affordable apartment units
(respectively) for 55 years.
G. 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, 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. After consideration of
the proposed project, the Tustin Planning Commission finds that there is
no substantial evidence that:
OF

Resolution No. 4205
Page 5
1. The concession(s) or incentive(s) is not required in order to provide
for affordable housing costs or for affordable housing rent for the
target units.
2. The concession(s) or incentive(s) would have a specific adverse
impact, as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5, subdivision
(d), paragraph (2), upon public health and safety or the physical
environment or on any real property that is listed in the California
Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible
method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact
without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and
moderate- income households.
3. The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law.
Consequently, the Tustin Planning Commission supports Tustin City
Council approval of the requested Density Bonus, Concessions and
Incentives including:
Parking
Authorization to:
1. Provide 434 parking spaces on site instead of
the 467 spaces required by the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan.
2. Utilize 88 compact spaces when compact
parking is not allowed within the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan.
3. Authorize 225 covered parking spaces instead of
the 372 carports and garages required by the
code.
Common
Authorization to provide 87,822 square feet of common
Open Space
open space instead of the 90,000 square feet required
by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Note: the
developer is being required to improve the adjacent
4.706 acre site for use as a public park (204,993
square feet of common open space) which should be
considered a part of the project).
Setbacks
Authorization to allow proposed buildings and
structures to encroach 4 -12 feet into the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan required 30 foot building setback.
Building
Authorization to exceed the 45 foot maximum building
Height
height for Planning Area 15 with one structure that is
62 feet in height.
H. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for DA 2012-
002, CP 2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer and Density
Bonus, Concessions or Incentives on October 9, 2012 by the Planning
Commission.
I. That on January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program
Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report
Resolution No. 4205
Page 6
(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 -002, CP 2012 -003, DR 2012 -005, Density Transfer, and
Density Bonus, Concessions or Incentives authorized under Tustin City
Code Section 9123 for 225 affordable residential apartment units at
Disposition Package 1A -North, Tustin Legacy, with the findings noted above
and subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin at a
regular meeting on the 9th day of October, 2012.

Residential (R3); and determine that the proposed use is
similar to social halls, lodges, clubs, etc. which are
