The main idea of the Specific Plan is to preserve what is good, improve what is not and allow growth where market forces are evident.

Most revitalization opportunities will occur in small, identifiable pockets,--4,mezm RFOspec e. The entry to El Camino Real offers a special historical streetscape element nearly in the middle of the project area, offering a central node of development for First Street. Prospect Street, the major north south traffic carrier through the project area is located in the center of the area, reinforcing the activity node provided by El Camino Real. First Street has identifiable east and west entry points at the Newport Freeway and IN- Newport Boulevard. Q I The present streetscape system on First Street contains good elements which can be incorporated into the proposed plan. The medians with turf and well-established olive trees compliment the existing Ficus nitida. The curbside amenities (street furniture) fulfill functional needs butEcm-iyde not add aesthetically to the streetscape scene. 7 e--ac-een- The project area has a series of equally spaced nodes or intersections that, when developed and enhanced, would help draw shoppers along its entire length. circulation: a 1""NIZZ'', a There is a lack of convenient inter-site circulation, in that vehicles must generally enter First Street to access the adjacent site. Mixed Land Uses: While a mixture of land uses can add excitement to an area, in the case of First Street there I ize no cohesive famik of uses which encourage spontaneous shopping or strolling, etc. In fact, many adjacent land uses are incompatible with one another. ID The existing retail uses which comprise the First Street Specific Plan area are too dispersed.

It is by no means inclusive or a final recommendation. This list is simply a compilation of some ideas that have been M Me successfully applied in situations similar to First Street. U in ■ Consolidate small lots (either through private land assembly or coordinated site planning), developing more efficient use of land, creating a more efficient building site, and providing a noni commercial atmosphere. Depth needs to be established where possible. Establish development incentives for providing off street parking with improved inter-property circulation opportunities. These development incentives could be the relaxation of certain development standards for more efficient parking design or streetscape amenities. Form a Business Improvement District to guide project-wide improvements. This could be similar in nature to a merchant's association in a mall or shopping center. It could be self policed, it could solve problems of who cares for shared parking lots; it could even sponsor promotional events. =�111111179 fro x- 4c) &v-,mla e Develop an improved streetscape program cr k with the established El Camino Real improvements.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The less-traveled First Street corridor developed from its early status as the primary gateway to the City into a more fragmented pattern of land uses that continues to include a varied mix of historic residential and commercial properties. Land use changes have been infrequent along First Street, and the existing mixture of uses share a low- scale, low-intensity commercial character that is in need of revitalization. Residential uses (including single family, multi-family, and mobile homes), auto-oriented service uses, office, and small retail buildings currently line First Street. Only the First Street properties located nearest to Newport Avenue are generally larger and more uniform in use and purpose. x 11 1 a 0 It K TITT—rcys-M-1 roT access to the Old Town Tustin historic district and, via Centennial Way, to the Ci Center. The First Street Planning Area is divided into three sub-areas as shown on Exhibits 2, 3 and 4. Over the years the First Street corridor has evolved into an area of considerably vari development The quality and condition of the existing built environment varies fro high quality projects to those that have not been well maintained with many exampl throughout the spectrum between these extremes. I The predominant uses existing within the First Street Planning Area are commercial retail, service, and office. Stimulated by a concern about the appropriate mix of these predominant uses as private development projects were proposed, the City Council established a moratorium on the issuance of new building permits on June 3, 1985 to allow time to establish overall guidance for further development The First Street Specific Plan (the "Plan") is the vehicle approved by the Tustin City Council to provide that guidance. 0 a MEN MO When adopted in 1985, the First Street Specific Plan was envisioned to be a 15-year plan. More than 25 years later, in 2011, the Tustin Planning Commission and City staff initiated an effort to update the Plan. As described in more detail in Appendix E, an intensive series of consultant/staff workshops, public meetings and Planning Commission/City Council work sessions and public hearings led to formulation of the original 1985 Specific Plan and its 2012 Amendment. The goal of the 1985 First Street Specific Plan was to identify an appropriate mix of commercial and office uses for the area. Tustin City Council was concerned about an . erosion of commercial potential" along this gateway street. The Plan was also intended to protect adjacent residential neighborhoods and establish consistent development standards. The purpose of the 2012 Plan is to continue to guide and stimulate the use of properties along First Street to the maximum mutual advantage of property owners and the City of Tustin. This is accomplished by a comprehensive set of regulations, incentives and Design Guidelines, along with other related actions to encourage optimum development. The Plan constitutes the legally established zoning for properties within the Planning Area. Moreover, it establishes certain important development policies within the First Street corridor. The Specific Plan is the major device for implementing the City of Tustin General Plan within the Planning Area. pqqppq�� l �Iii III 11� I ------------ 1 1 ASE De 7100prea Dy rne Elm IT Council to become effective. The adoption of this Specific Plan by the City of Tustin is authorized by the California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457. The First Street Specific Plan is a regulatory plan which serves as the zoning ordinance for the properties within its boundary, Proposed development plans or agreements, .............. tentative tract or parcel maps and any other development approvals must be consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects consistent with this Specific Plan are automatically deemed consistent with the General Plan. The regulations contained herein shall apply to the boundaries depicted on Exhibit I If. LAND USE PLAN wit ir; Specific Plan. The basis for this Plan lies in 1) the Tustin General Plan (see Appendix G for a summary of General Plan consistency)and 2) the analysis undertaken to prepare • amend the Specific Plan (embodied in the accompanying appendices). The following key points should be kept in mind in reading and using this Specific Plan: 1. The primary uses • the area are and should remain commercial retail, service, and office. Differences in uses and regulations within the area are based on the intensity and characteristics of each subarezz. 2. The City will depend primarily on private market decisions to stimulate developmerl and improvements in the area. 3. Diversity of appearance within certain broad quatity guidelines is desirable, as call out in the Design Guidelines (Appendix A). I The Plan is a conscious compromise between one extreme of doing nothing and the other • trying to completely change the area. The balance thus achieved will hopefully provide a stable and durable basis for decision making in the area. 5. In order for the area to work best, a creative partnership between the City, property owners and tenants is required. The Specific Plan is intended to be the foundation for that partnership and will support it more effectively than more traditional planning approaches. 6, City Council adoption of the policies, use regulations, site development standards and design guidelines constitutes the City's commitment to property owners and the development community that it will carry out its appropriate share of the effort to 0 MI9; IRS ND 11111 s Low M„* w 8 C CCEL q q Col- maintain the Planning Area as an asset to property owners, tenants and the City as a whole. S. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PLAN POLICY DIRECTION The following points, express the most essential ideas contained in the Plan and constitute the overall policy direction for the Plan. 1. Decisions about continuation, redevelopment or new development of uses on property within the Specific Plan shall rest with the individual property owner. 2. Decisions about development standards to be maintained or established shall rest with the City and shall be as prescribed in this Plan, as it may be amended from time to time. 3. The basic intent is for continuation of primarily commercial retail, service, and officn- uses, including some commercial mixed use projects at various scales. The Plan A may be expanded by Specific Plan Amendment and Zone Change. i 4, This Plan, as amended, provides guidance for development as it could occur withM approximately a 15-year time span, or • approximately the year 2027. 1 C. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The following statements represent the policy direction for the Planning Area as a whole, as well as the distinct sections of the subject area that exhibit particular use constraints or potentials. ISSUE: What is the most productive pattern of uses? GOAL- The best use of property within the Specific Plan area is development approaching maximum development potential while providing a compatible and monitored growth program. 1.1 Preservation of existing quality uses. 1.3 Maximum possible responsiveness to market opportunities for each sub-area (see Exhibits 2, 3, and 4). 14 Uses appropriate to each sub-area. 1 POLICIES: OEM Maintain and perpetuate a mix of commercial retail, service, and office uses in sub-area 1. The best use of property within the Specific Plan area balances maximum development potential with compatible uses and monitored growth. 2. Stimulate retail and service commercial uses in sub-area 2. 3. Preserve the dominant retail and service commercial uses in sub- area 3, retaining already established offices. 4. Promote development, expansion or redevelopment that.- permitted use; b. Meets prescribed development regulations, responsive to established design guidelines. ISSUE: How can the overall condition of development be improved? GOAL: A consistent quality of development throughout the area. OBJECTIVES: 2.2 Improvement of development that is deteriorated or inefficiently designed. Reinforce existing private property health and safety regulations by committing City enforcement efforts to this area. 2. Allow maximum site development through relatively liberal site development standards in return for well-conceived site plans. 3. Offer development incentives to property owners for projects that are highly responsive to plan objectives. 4. Establish and administer Design Guidelines to assist developers in NINE-- understanding and implementing the Plan's intent, 6 3. Visual Improvement ISSUE: How can the area's appearance and image be improved? GOAL: A quality physical appearance of both existing and future development. 3.1 Elimination of visible outside storage. 3.2 Compatible building elevations and materials. 3.3 High quality landscape treatments throughout the corridor. 3.4 Achievement • an overall positive identity for the area. I. Require responsiveness to Design Guidelines in plans for new development expansion or redevelopment. 2. Discourage parking in front of buildings. Buildings should be located as close to the street as possible. 3. When rear parking is not possible, screen parking areas with landscaping materials or treatment in excess of minimum standards. 4. Maintain the existing streetscape improvements. E-1111 4. Compatibility of Land Uses ISSUE: How can land uses within the specific Plan be kept compatible with each other and with adjacent uses? GOAL: Compatible land uses which do not interfere or create health and safety concerns for an adjacent use. 10100 X-d" rl=?;t ! 1! 1 1; 11 1 111 1 al i'i I! Il I l Ili I!

GOAL: A combination of standards and incentives which will stimulate quality development. M10413 5.1 Site development regulations which lead to efficient use of available space. 5.2 Design Guidelines which assist in defining and describing the level • quality intended. 5.3 Site development incentives which stimulate lot consolidation or cooperative site design and lead to more profitable and efficient parcel use. -S,4 Safe, effective and adequate access and parking for each business enterprise. M, 7- 2. Include responsiveness to Design Guidelines as a major consideration in site plan review and approval. IN ISSUE: What City assistance can be provided to encourage expedient implementation of this Plan? GOAL: To encourage rapid rehabilitation of poorly maintained structures and uses, 6.1 Rehabilitation of facades (including signage) of existing structures to comply with Design Guidelines of this Plan. 6.3 Maximization • pedestrian movement and access. POLICY. To make available to property owners, where possible, funding sources for rehabilitation of existing buildings and for new development. D. LAND USE CONCEPT The main idea underlying the First Street Specific Plan land use concept is to build upon the positive features already present. They include the following: 1. First Street is an attractive gateway to the City that has identifiable east and west entry points at the Newport Freeway overcrossing and at Newport Avenue. 2. The Specific Plan emphasizes "pedestrian-friendly" design and uses to preserve the existing human scale and character. 3. Setback and height restrictions appear compatible with nearby residential uses t* the north and soutilk. 5. Street improvements are well maintained. The Specific Plan corridor has a pleasant streetscape, which includes wide medians, mature trees, and close proximity to an attractive City Park. Street furniture, flags, planters, and bus shelters as recommended r in the Design Guidelines can improve the existing streetscape with a more cohesive appearance and further encourage pedestrian activities. A vision and plan for future improvements through the Design Guidelines with public and private incentives and funding will achieve the desired improvements along First Street. 10 6. There is little traffic congestion and ample parking along First Street f. 7. Property owners are encouraged to make positive changes, while maintaining a "human scale" environment along First Street • F The corridor is made up of three subareas, each characterized by a particular land use emphasis. Subarea 1, closest to the Newport (SR-55) Freeway, is a mixed use office-commerciai area (Exhibit 2). Subarea 21 either side of the El Camino ReaVProspect Avenue intersections, is a transition area with an emphasis on retail commercial and service development (Exhibit 3). Subarea 3, anchored by two relatively large shopping centers facing Newport Avenue, is predominantly a retail and service commercial area, but with a strong office enclave (Exhibit 4). 2. Preservation • Human Scale and Character Site development standards, with only a couple of exceptions, limit development to one or two stories directly along the corridor. Efforts are made through the Design Guidelines to achieve a low-profile "pedestrian-friendly" environment by making it possible to move freely within each subarea from business to business. Moreover, the visual image being sought is one of human scale, not dominated by large or high close-in building masses, with streetscape and the design of the public realm, adding to a sense • place for First Street, In summary, the concept seeks a balance between market responsive expansion on one hand and preservation of the basic existing scale and character on the other. 9 OQ& I W 92:4 X0111 These regulations constitute the primary zoning provisions for the First Street Sped Plan. These regulations are in addition to regular Zoning Code provisions (Article Land Use, Chapter 2 - Zoning) of the Tustin City Code. Where there is a conflict, t regulations herein will prevail.

Contribute to the improvement of both visual and functional attributes of First Street to help stimulate business activity. * Protect the traffic handling capacity of First Street while accommodating new development and rehabilitation. * Establish a sense of place, as well as continuity and consistency of development standards, within the Specific Plan Area. I . All construction and development within the Specific Plan area shall comply with applicable provisions of the Tustin City Code, California Building Code and the various related mechanical, electrical, plumbing codes, grading and excavation code and the Subdivision codes, as currently adopted by the City Council. Where there is a conflict, the regulations of the Specific Plan will prevail. Where direction is not provided in this Specific Plan, the Zoning Code shall prevail.

The Community Development Department shall review and comment on all matters of the application, and a final determination on the plan shall be rendered by the Community Development Department The Planning Commission may at their discretion suggest design modifications consistent with the Design Guidelines. Any project having development plans approved by building permit issuance or land use permit prior to the amendment of this Specific Plan shall remain approved without amendment. W K, I J 3. Site Plan Review a. Method and Purpose The First Street Specific Plan shall be implemented through the use of Site Plan Review. A Site Plan shall be required for all rehabilitation, redevelopment, expansion of existing uses or structures and new development within the Specific Plan area requiring a building permit This requirement is instituted for the following reasons: encourage innovative community design and development. 3. To assure substantial long-range compliance with the Redevelopment P14 and General Pl;z,*&. S. To adapt to specific or special development conditions that occur from time to time while continuing to implement the Specific Plan. 6. To facilitate complete documentation of land use entitlements authorized and conditions pertinent thereto. b. Applicability Approval of a Site Plan shall be required prior to or concurrent with a Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Tract Map, or Parcel Map for all proposed projects within the Specific Plan area. Where no Tentative Tract or Parcel Map is required, approval of a Site Plan shall rest with the Planning Commission except in the case of permitted uses. The Site Plan process shall be similar in its requirements and procedures to the Conditional Use Permit process in the City of Tustin. The primary difference between the two is the simpler administrative review procedure for development projects which consist of permitted uses. 9N Append!x A DESIGN GUIDELINES ES (Separate Document) F �r 4 Appendix B (Separate Documentl MISSION, APPENDIX C 1985 AND 2012 CONDITIONS SUMMARY To formulate what some of the opportunities and constraints of the Specific Plan Area were in 1985, certain basic mapping tasks were performed. These tasks ultimately assisted the study team to reach conclusions `. there and how it related to the goals of the study. The two 1985 conditions exhibits discussed here include: 1985 land use * 1985 zoning MINE. Existing (2012) Land Use .s The existing land use exhibit demonstrates that there is a mixture of commercial retail, service, office, and residential uses along the First Street corridor. As shown in Exhibit b, there is only one vacant lot within the Specific Plan area. In 2012, a Specific Plan Amendment was approved that corrected minor zoning inconsistencies created by the 1 985 adoption of the Specific Plan and its boundaries, r including restoring the zoning for large residential land uses to that previously established in 1985. Also, the less intensive built environment existing at the westerly end of First Street was preserved by revising the zoning designation to 111.

The next important step is the identification of physical opportunities and constraints against which the market opportunities can be measured. These factors, combined with public input and policy/technical direction from the City, are the ingredients used in shaping the content of the plan. This existing conditions summary and map were used in 1985 in part to identify the issues, goals, objectives and policies in Chapter It of the Specific Plan. The potential measures were evaluated for potential use in the regulatory guideline portions of the Plan. The First Street corridor is an area of distinct contrasts. On one hand, certain commercial properties have well designed, intensively used developments, particularly the ones located at the eastern terminus of First Street at Newport Boulevard, while a few blocks west of El Camino Real the buildings exhibit an older, less consistent image, where underutilized developments are more prevalent. Analyzing First Street at the Specific Plan level, it becomes apparent that the street should continue to be planned as a cohesive whole with concentrations of "families of uses" dominating certain sections of the street. In many revitalization situations similar in nature to First Street, the initial reaction might be to correct problems with long range, costly and controversial remedies. These remedies typically take the form of inflexible mandatory regulatory formats for new development. Such approaches do little to stimulate private commercial development. The City of Tustin was and is interested in providing catalysts for change by providing regulatory "opportunity" through the judicious use of revised site development standards and the stimulus of incentive or bonus provisions. It was the consultant team's goal in 1985 to prepare a pro-business, pro-economic strategy plan designed to solve immediate physical problems as well as offer long-range programs for ongoing project-wide improvements. Certain opportunities and constraints have been identified thus far and are summarized below. See Exhibit 8 for a visual depiction of the opportunities and constraints identified in 1985. V Opportunities * There are several large cohesively designed shopping centers in the area. - 0 * There are recent instances of quality redevelopment/development within the area. • Peppertree Park, although not within the specific plan boundary, contributes a special landscape atmosphere which relates to the corridor. e Most revitalization opportunities will occur in small, identifiable pockets. • The entry to El Camino Real offers a special historical streetscape element nearly in the middle of the project area, offering a central node of development for First Street. • Prospect Street, the major north-south traffic carrier through the project area is The present streetscape system on First Street contains good elements which can be incorporated into the proposed plan. The medians with turf and well-established olive trees complement the existing Ficus nitida. The curbside amenities (street furniture) fulfill functional needs but may not add aesthetically to the streetscape scene. The project area has a series of equally spaced nodes or intersections that, when developed and enhanced, would help draw shoppers along its entire length. • There appears to be little traffic congestion in the study area in relation to other commercial areas in southern California, with the most serious peak hour congestion occurring on the east/west peripheries. Constraints Circulation: There is a lack of convenient inter-site circulation, in that vehicles must generally enter First Street to access the adjacent site, Mixed Land Uses: While a mixture of land uses can add excitement to an area, in the case of First Street there is no cohesive family of uses which encourage spontaneous &I located in the center of the area, reinforcing the activity node provided by El Camino Real. k. First Street has identifiable east and west entry points at the Newport Freeway and "M (INE 1W Newport Boulevard. The present streetscape system on First Street contains good elements which can be incorporated into the proposed plan.

The area exhibits the physical characteristics of strip commercial development but without enough truly auto-related retail uses to capitalize on its linear shape. • Poorly maintained buildings: Some properties within the Specific Plan area are in need of maintenance. Along First Street, there are non-conforming uses, vacancies and older, poorly maintained buildings. Lack of Freeway Entry (Newport (SR-55) Freeway): One of First Street's major constraints is its lack of direct Freeway access, both vehicular and visual. Moreover, entry at Newport Avenue doesn't offer a visual statement either. • Small, shallow development parcels: Commercial development on single, shallow lots does little to promote viable larger commercial centers on First Street (such as Larwin Square or The Courtyard). The most successful commercial and office developments have assembled and consolidated lots along and behind First Street. 111 • inconsistent Development Standards: The inconsistent mixture of architectural styles, parking configurations, setback and landscape requirements, while offering a variety of individual site conditions lacks any cohesiveness which could tie all of these varietal standards together. This gives First Street no sense of cohesiveness or commercial identity. Potential Measures The following analysis outlines programs which might be able to take advantage of the area's opportunities to improve some challenging conditions. It is by no means inclusive or a final recommendation. This list is simply a compilation of some ideas that have been successfully applied in situations similar to First Street. • Consolidate small lots (either through private land assembly or coordinated site planning), developing more efficient use of land, creating a more efficient building site, and providing a non-strip commercial atmosphere. Depth needs to be established where possible. Establish development incentives for providing off street parking with improved inter-property circulation opportunities. These development incentives could be the relaxation of certain development standards for more efficient parking design or streetscape amenities. NINE ON AMON- Form a Business Improvement District to guide project-wide improvements. This could be similar in nature to a merchant's association in a mail or shopping center. It could be self policed; it could solve problems of who cares for shared parking lots; it could even sponsor promotional events. • Provide alternatives to front setback parking lots. • Establish new, comprehensive site development standards unique to the area. Develop an improved streetscape program compatible with the established El Camino Real improvements. * Establish consistent, yet flexible, sign controls, • Create pedestrian points of interest to enhance a linear pedestrian route along First Street. Grant development bonuses to businesses which utilize storefront canopies and plazas to enhance the pedestrian movement from property to property. Develop means for drawing vehicles from nearby Freeway exits at Irvine Boulevard 110141 RESIN and Newport Avenue to First Street. Viii APPENDIX E FIRST STREET SPECIFIC PLAN PLANNING PROCESS This appendix documents the process by which the First Street Specific Plan was prepared and considered. Date Event July 2, 1985 Request for Proposal distributed by City to potential consultants. Contained a carefully worded scope of work and statement of objectives. August 23, 1985 The Planning Center authorized to begin work. August 28, 1985 Detailed scoping meeting between City Staff and consultant team. September 30, 1985 Progress review meeting with City Staff and consultant team. Focus on issues potentials and constraints. October 24, 1985 First public town hall meeting held to explain planning effort, share market and physical conditions information and gain insight from the public before beginning plan 1-11-11110111 WINE" M formulation. October 25, 1985 Consultant team began plan preparation. November 12, 1985 Planning Commission workshop to present findings, summarize public input and obtain commission comments. City Council members invited to hear briefing. November 25, 1985 Presentation of draft plan to joint City Council/Planning Commission workshop. Opportunity to expose them and interested public to details of the plan, provide council and commission members the opportunity to question consultants, and discuss possible resolution of issues embodied in the plan. December 9, 1985 Formal public hearing on plan by the Planning Commission. Direct testimony received from public, with responses by both consultants and staff. December 16, 1985 Formal public hearing on the plan by the City Council. Consideration of Planning Commission recommendation, public testimony and both consultant and staff reports and responses to questions. Plan adopted. ITV January 25, 2011 Planning Commission workshop to consider an update to the First Street Specific Plan. March 22, 2011 Continued Planning Commission workshop September 14, 2011 Public workshop on the First Street Specific Plan July 24, 2012 Draft First Street Specific Plan Amendment distributed to the Planning Commission. September 14, 2012 Public Workshop on the Draft First Street Specific Plan Amendment. October 23, 2012 Tustin Planning Commission adopts Resolution No. 4209 recommending that the Tustin City Council approve Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001. The process, highlighted by these key dates and events, was accompanied throughout the project life by a very close and constructive staff/consultant communication that resulted in clarifying a great number of technical questions as needed so that policy issues could be focused upon by the public, the Planning Commission and the City Council. The quality of this working relationship was the major ingredient in completing the plan in an unusually short period of time. x APPENDIX F GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY Section 65860 of the California Government Code requires that zoning be consistent with ajurisdiction's General Plan. The dominant element of the City of Tustin General Plan relevant to the First Street Specific Plan Area is the Land Use Element. The City's General Plan Land Use Element designates the area as PC Commercial/Business. Under this land use designation, a mix of commercial and office uses such as hotel /motels, commercial centers, research and development, and professional offices are permitted. The First Street Specific Plan is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies. GOAL 1: Provide for a well balanced land use pattern that accommodates existing and future needs for housing, commercial and industrial land, open space and community facilities and services, while maintaining a healthy, diversified economy adequate to provide future City services. I Policy 1.8: Provide incentives to encourage lot consolidation and parcel assemblage to 1417711 ME I provide expanded opportunities for coordinated development and redevelopment. GOAL 5: Revitalize older commercial, industrial and residential uses and properties. Policy 5.2: Provide development incentives to facilitate the consolidation of individual parcels along the City's commercial corridors. GOAL 7: Promote expansion of the City's economic base and diversification of economic activity. Policy 10.6: Encourage the integration of retail or service commercial uses on the street level of office projects through flexibility in site development standards. Policy 10.7: Encourage the consolidation of individual parcels/consolidated site planning and parking and access along First Street and in Old Town through utilization of development incentives such as reduced parking, height bonus, lot coverage relaxation, allowance for secondary uses, fee waivers, and/or financial assistance in land acquisition and/or infrastructure improvements. Policy 10,9: Review the First Street Specific Plan including modifications to the Plan which would consider issues associated with eliminating and prohibiting future automobile service-related uses and restrictions on the expansion of existing automobile MIN M IN H service related uses. I— Xi I A ,.Awl M-Affirs The Plan responds directly to these goals and policies by providing for appropriate I MINOR", commercial retail, service, and office uses. It responds indirectly by reinforcing successful development and stimulating both economic growth and aesthetic improvement on First Street. The Plan effects a change not so much in the nature of uses along First Street but the balance, arrangement, development standards and design characteristics of office, commercial and specialized uses so that they will be more responsive to market opportunities and enhance the First Street corridor. The First Street Specific Plan is therefore consistent with the City of Tustin General Plan. xii NOR PON J APPENDIX G FIRST STREET SPECIFIC PLAN FINDINGS I. The proposed commercial and office development is consistent in intensity and character with the City's adopted General Plan. Z. Reasonable alternatives to the plan and their implications have been considered. 3. The scope and depth of plan analysis are commensurate with the level of detail contained in the plan and the specificity of land use entitlement its adoption authorizes. 4. The various components of the plan as well as the plan in it's entirely are sensitive to the environmental and public policy impacts of the proposed development, 5. Appropriate mitigation measures are incorporated in the plan to insure that concerns identified at this level of planning are resolved as part of the more detailed site plan review which must be completed before private development may proceed. & Administration of the plan is thoroughly integrated into the City's development processing system. 7. All subjects required in a specific plan by the California Government Code and applicable City ordinances are appropriately and adequately covered. 8. Adequate time and opportunities have been afforded interested organizations and members of the public to comment on or propose changes to the plan if they so desired. 9. The level of development direction established by the plan is sufficient to eliminate the need for a continued development moratorium in the First Street corridor.

Project Sponsor's Name and Address: City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way, Tustin, CA 92780 General Plan Land Use Designation: Primarily - Planned Community Commercial Business (PCCB). Zoning Designation: Primarily — First Street Specific Plan (SP 10) Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: A variety of urban commercial and residential uses. Project Description: Project Description: The First Street Specific Plan was completed in less than four months and adopted by the Tustin City Council on December 2, 1985. The proposed update is needed to clarify and modernize the document's zoning regulations applicable to existing uses (Exhibits 2 and 3). No ground disturbance work is proposed, nor will such occur as a direct result of the City's planned approval of this project. The current First Street Specific Plan may be viewed at: hftp://www.tustinca.org/departments/commdev/index. html#planningZoning. Proposed General Plan Amendment 2012-001 would also incorporate minor text amendments requested by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission, reflect the City's current sphere of influence as approved by the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, and include a new General Plan Land Use Map which presents existing general plan designations in an updated format.

SPA 2012 -001, GPA 2012 -001 FIRST STREET SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT DESCRIPTION Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 (Ordinance No. 1414) and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 are intended to implement a general update to the First Street Specific Plan. The proposed amendments would update and modernize the First Street Specific Plan (originally adopted in 1985) to create regulations that reinforce the community's desires as expressed when the Specific Plan was originally adopted to promote economic development along First Street in a manner compatible with surrounding land uses. In addition, the document has been modernized to correct errors and inconsistencies that have occurred over the years since its adoption including: an update that eases the identification of land use designations; modernizing terms used in the Specific Plan's zoning regulations pertaining to the types of permitted and conditionally permitted commercial uses that may operate in the area; clarifying where such uses may or may not occur, providing modern parking regulations consistent with those used throughout the rest of the City; and updating and clarifying the document's maps and graphics. General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 also corrects General Plan Figure depictions of the City's jurisdictional boundaries to reflect areas incorporated into the City in the past and also a previously approved Sphere of Influence modification approved by the Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) involving an unincorporated area in the County of Orange. Proposed General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 also incorporates minor text amendments requested by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission and includes a new General Plan Land Use Map which presents existing general plan designations in an updated format. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not increase the overall development potential currently allowed by the First Street Specific Plan or previously allowed in the area, nor cause or create any direct environmental consequences that will not addressed through compliance with state and local regulations and standards that would avoid the creation of significant land use and planning impacts. This Initial Study is prepared to evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed project with respect to the following categories: I. AESTHETICS Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 (Ordinance No. 1414) and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 are intended to implement a general update to the First Street Specific Plan. General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 would also incorporate minor text amendments requested by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission, reflect the City's current sphere of influence as approved by the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, and include a new General Plan Land Use Map which presents existing general plan designations in an updated format. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not increase the overall development potential currently allowed by the First Street Specific Plan or previously allowed in the area, nor cause or create any direct environmental consequences that will not addressed through compliance with state and local regulations and standards that would avoid the creation of significant land use and planning impacts. a) No Impact. The City of Tustin General Plan encourages protection of scenic views and resources (including vistas) through site planning and architectural design; and through implementation of the Grading Manual. The proposed project is intended to update and modernize the General Plan Attachment B Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 Page 2 and First Street Specific Plan to promote economic development along First Street in a manner that is compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not directly affect any scenic vistas in that there are no physical changes proposed. As with the current Specific Plan, the proposed update would continue to require future development projects to be reviewed through an established Design Review process, and either modified or conditioned to address specific impacts to scenic vistas (if any). Therefore, this project will not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. In addition, the City of Tustin has been recognized by the State of California as a Certified Local Government (CLG). The Certified Local Government Program is a preservation partnership between local, state and national governments focused on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots level. Certification acknowledges that the City has adopted ordinances that protect important historic resources; that the City has appointed a qualified board (Planning Commission) to oversee and decide discretionary matters involving proposed changes to historic resources; and, that the City has employed staff members with significant experience or training in historic preservation matters. CLG designation also provides the City access to the expert technical advice of the State Office of Historic Preservation as well as the National Park Services Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Partnerships with the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, Preserve America, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the National Main Street Center are also networks that CLGs have an opportunity to tap into. When needed, staff has also employed the expertise of 30th Street Architects, an historic b) No Impact. The General Plan Circulation Element does not identify any scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rocks outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway within the City. Therefore, there are no direct impacts related to the proposed Specific Plan and General Plan amendment intended to update and modernize the General Plan and First Street Specific Plan to promote economic development along First Street in a manner that is compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not directly affect any scenic resources in that there are no physical changes proposed. As with the current Specific Plan, the proposed update would continue to require future development projects to be reviewed through existing regulations, and modified or conditioned to address specific impacts to scenic resources (if any). Impacts related to any future project may be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary process and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, this project will not have a substantial adverse effect on a will not detrimentally alter, destroy or adversely affect any scenic resource. v MOEN MEN c) No Impact. As proposed, Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 will continue to encourage that future development be compatible with the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings. In addition, the Specific Plan Amendment supports ongoing preservation of certain historic residences existing along First Street by recognizing these structures as conforming and allowing expansion/alteration of an identified historic structure in addition to continuing to support adaptive reuse of historic structures. Adaptive reuse preserves the important physical attributes of the historic resource for future generations to appreciate by adapting old structures for purposes other than what the building was originally designed. As with the current Specific Plan, the proposed project would continue to require future development projects to be reviewed through an established Design Review process, and either modified or conditioned to address specific impacts to the visual character or quality of the area (if any). Impacts related to any future project may be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary process and may be subject to separate CEQA review.

MIM Land Use Policy 6.2: Encourage and promote high quality design and physical appearance in all development projects. Land Use Policy 6.5: Preserve historically significant structures and sites, and encourage the conservation and rehabilitation of older buildings, sites, and neighborhoods that contribute to the City's historic character. Conservation Policy 12.1: Identify, designate, and protect facilities of historical significance, where feasible. Conservation Policy 12.3: Development adjacent to a place, structure or object found to be of historic significance should be designed so that the uses permitted and the architectural design will protect the visual setting of the historical site. In addition to allowing expansion or alteration of a designated historic structure, the City also supports adaptive reuse of historic structures. Adaptive reuse preserves the important physical attributes of the historic resource for future generations to appreciate by adapting old structures for purposes other than what the building was originally designed. In addition, the City of Tustin has been recognized by the State of California as a Certified Local Government (CLG). The Certified Local Government Program is a preservation partnership between local, state and national governments focused on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots level.

These conditions will be required on a case -by -case basis for individual projects subject to discretionary review; however the proposed project proposes no physical changes. c) Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 (Ordinance No. 1414) and General Plan Amendment 2012- 001 are intended to implement a general update to the First Street Specific Plan. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not increase the overall development potential currently allowed by the First Street Specific Plan or previously allowed in the area, nor cause or create any direct environmental consequences that will not addressed through compliance with state and local regulations and standards that would avoid the creation of significant land use and planning impacts. As such, Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 are administrative in nature and would not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. Impacts associated with any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary process that may be subject to separate CEQA review. d) For the reasons discussed previously, the proposed project will not disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries.

Impacts associated with any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary process that may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault. According to the City of Tustin General Plan, Public Safety Element (January 2001), the Tustin Planning Area (Planning Area) lies within a seismically active region. However, there are no known active or suspected potentially active faults identified within the Planning Area. The El Modena fault passes through the Planning Area's northern section; however, studies have not been conclusive about the active/inactive status of this fault. Specific Plan Amendment 2012-001 and General Plan Amendment 2012-001 propose no physical changes and future proposals would be subject to individual review. Therefore, no impacts associated with rupture of a known earthquake fault are anticipated with the implementation of this update project. ii. Strong seismic ground shaking. See previous discussion. There is no evidence of any active or potentially active faults within the Tustin Planning Area (Planning Area) and it is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. However, the Planning Area is located in the seismically active region of southern California. Slight to intense ground shaking is possible within the Planning Area if an earthquake occurs on a segment of the active faults in the region. Under current seismic design standards and California Building Code (CBQ provisions, new buildings would incur only minor damage in small to moderate earthquakes, and potential structural damage during a large earthquake, although new buildings are expected to remain standing during such events (City of Tustin General Plan, Attachment B Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -041 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 Page 11 Safety Element). With application of the provisions of Chapter 16A Division IV of the 1995 California Building Code and the Structural Engineers Association of California, ( SEAOC) guidelines, adequate structural protection in the event of an earthquake would be provided, thus reducing impacts from strong seismic ground shaking to a less than significant level. Since there is no development associated with the proposed project and future development projects would be subject to the California Building Code and the SEAOC guidelines, no impacts will occur as part of this project. iii. 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. There is no development associated with the proposed project and future projects would be subject to the California Building Code and the SEAOC guidelines. Furthermore, a standard condition of approval requiring a soils report will be required prior to issuance of a grading permit for any future project. Therefore, no impacts will occur as part of the proposed project. iv. Landslides. The First Street Specific Plan area is a level, flat site. There is no possibility that landslides could occur within the site. b) The City of Tustin is a co- permittee with Orange County in the NPDES program, which is designed to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff. Accordingly, during construction of any future project, the applicant will be required to develop and submit a SWPPP to the Santa Ana 110 RWQMP for compliance with the Statewide NPDES for construction activity. The SWPPP would contain BMPs as identified in the Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff. General BMPs applicable to construction ON include erosion controls, sediment controls, tracking controls, wind erosion control, non -storm water management, and materials and water management. Future development projects would be subject to a standard condition of approval requiring BMPs as part of individual development plans may be required as part of the discretionary review process prior to issuance of a grading permit for any future project. Therefore, this project will not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoi I. c) Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 (Ordinance No. 1414) and General Plan Amendment 2012- 001 are intended to implement a general update to the First Street Specific Plan. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not affect or be subject to 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. There are no hazardous materials proposed as part of this project. Each individual development project will be subject to review on a case -by -case basis for hazardous materials. Therefore, no impacts related to this issue will result from the proposed project, and no mitigation measures are required and the SEAOC guidelines. A soils report prepared by a certified soils engineer may be required as part of any project on a case -by -case basis. Since there is no development associated with the proposed project, no impacts will occur as part of this project. d) For the reasons discussed above, the proposed project would not affect or be subject to expansive soil, as defined in Table 15 1 B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks SUNNI to Life or property. Future development projects would be subject to the California Building El Code and the SEAOC guidelines. A soils report prepared by a certified soils engineer may be 1-2001 E � . required as part of any project on a case -by -case basis. Since there is no development associated with the proposed project, no impacts will occur as part of this project. Attachment S Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 Page 12 e) The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not affect or be subject to soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water. Future development projects may be required to submit a site - specific geotechnical investigation for the site and preparation of a geologic and soils report prepared by a certified soils engineer. Since there is no development associated with the proposed project, no impacts will occur as part of this project. Mitigationl1lonitoringRequired• No mitigation is required.

Future development projects may involve temporary increases in greenhouse gas emissions are likely to occur during construction which would be greater than those typically experienced in the existing neighborhood. New construction will be required to comply with the latest edition of applicable codes which include energy codes related to efficiency. However, impacts associated with any future project would be identified during the project review process and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary or building permit process that may be subject to separate CEQA review. Consequently, the proposed project would not generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. b) Through the proposed amendment process, if approved, the project would be in compliance with the Tustin City Code and General Plan. There is no development associated with the Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and the proposed project PENN, does not conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of ISO reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS TNIATERIAL,S Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 (Ordinance No. 1414) and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 are intended to implement a general update to the First Street Specific Plan. General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 would also incorporate minor text amendments requested by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission, reflect the City's current sphere of influence as approved by the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, and include a new General Plan Land Use Map which presents existing general plan designations in an updated format. The proposed project is administrative in nature and would not increase the overall development potential currently allowed by the First Street Specific Plan or previously allowed in the area, nor cause or create any direct environmental consequences that will not addressed through compliance with state and local regulations and standards that would avoid the creation of significant land use and planning impacts. a) The project site is located within an urbanized area characterized by commercial and residential SEEN- development. However, because the project is administrative in nature, no actual construction is proposed. Consequently, the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Future development projects would be subject to State and local code requirements, including the Building Code, and reviewed on a case -by -case basis for hazardous materials issues to be resolved. b) For the reasons described above, the proposed project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Future development projects would be subject to State and local code requirements, including the Building Code, and reviewed on a case -by -case basis for hazardous materials issues to be resolved. c) The proposed project is administrative in nature; no actual development is proposed. Impacts associated with any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary process that may be subject to State and local code requirements, including the Building Code, and reviewed on a case -by -case basis for hazardous materials issues to be resolved. It is possible that future projects would also be subject to separate CEQA review. Consequently, Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 will not cause hazardous emissions or the handing of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. d) Specific Plan Amendment 2012 -001 and General Plan Amendment 2012 -001 are administrative in nature. No actual construction is proposed.

The proposed project does not include construction of new facilities. Future development projects would be required to develop and submit a SWPPP to the Santa Ana RWQMP for compliance with the Statewide NPDES for construction activity. The SWPPP would contain BMPs as identified in the Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff. General BMPs applicable to construction include erosion controls, sediment controls, tracking controls, wind erosion control, non-storm water management, and materials and water management. By preparing a SWPPP for NPDES compliance in addition to the standard conditions of approval for water quality, any future project could potentially meet all applicable regulations to manage runoff from the project site. Pollutants in storm water would be substantially reduced by source control and treatment BMPs. In addition, the City of Tustin would review and approve a Water Quality Management Plan for any specific future project. Since there is no development proposed as part of this project, it would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. b) Specific Plan Amendment 2012-001 and General Plan Amendment 2012-001 are administrative MIME ROME PENN in nature. No actual construction is proposed with this update. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable discretionary process that may be subject to separate CEQA review. Discretionary review of future projects would avoid any project related impacts that would otherwise 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 (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). Since no development is proposed as part of this project, no impact is anticipated at this time. c) No actual development is proposed. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable Building Codes or discretionary approval process that may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, the project would not 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 substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -site. d) No stream or river is in close proximity to the First Street Specific Plan area. No actual development is proposed. Specific Plan Amendment 2012-001 and General Plan Amendment 2012-001 are administrative in nature. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable Building Codes or discretionary approval process that may be subject to separate CEQA review. In addition, any future applicant may be required, as part of the standard conditions of approval, to provide on-site hydrology and hydraulic calculations for the proposed development and hydraulic calculations for proposed connections to the existing storm drain system.

District boundaries currently do not follow property lines, but cut through existing properties, sometimes through existing structures built lawfully on the property. Proposed Specific Plan 2012-001 and General Plan 2012-001 would correct this problem and proposes to reestablish the First Street Specific Plan boundary so that it no longer physically divides the established community in the area. -01101% No- b) The City's General Plan indicates the following: Goal 2: Ensure that future land use decisions W are the result of sound and comprehensive planning. Specifically, Policy 2.1: Consider all General Plan goals and policies, including those in the other General Plan elements, in evaluating proposed development projects for General Plan consistency. Policy 2.2: Maintain consistency between the Land Use Element, Zoning Ordinances, and other City ordinances, regulations and standards. Proposed Specific Plan Amendment 2012-011 and General Plan Amendment 2012-001 are consistent with these goals and would not 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) The First Street Specific Plan area is an urban environment that is fully or nearly fully built out. There is no established habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan within the First Street Specific Plan area of the project site.
