HomeMy WebLinkAbout03 Code Amendment 2012-03, Update to the City of Tustin Parking CodeAGENDA REPORT 11 111 IN 1111 1 1111 111 TO: PLANNING COMMISSIOU ITEM # 3 SUBJECT: CODE AMENDMENT 2012-03 (ORDINANCE 1418) UPDATE TO THE CITY OF TUSTIN PARKING CODE &11Vr7F07XTf_W Code Amendment (CA) 2012-03 includes amendments to the Part 6 Off-Street Parking section of the Tustin City Code. The text amendments involve revisions to parking requirements and regulations to strengthen and clarify the off-street parking standards and ensure consistency with the goals and objectives of the General Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4212 recommending that the Tustin City Council adopt a Negative Declaration and approve CA 2012-03 (Draft Ordinance No. 1418) amending Article 9 Chapter 2 of the Tustin City Code Off-Street Parking. On October 21, 2008, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1354 amending the Tustin Off-Street parking code. The 2008 amendments consolidated the City's parking requirements within one code section. This 2008 parking code has now been implemented over the last four (4) years. The proposed amendment addresses issues with the 2008 code and further clarifies parking standards and strengthens certain parts of the Code as follows: • Clarify maintenance requirements; • Establish parking requirements for new land uses never envisioned; • Establish parking criteria for small and large commercial centers; • Combine parking design standards for residential and non-residential uses; • Address loading spaces; • Update figures; and, • Add definitions. This report discusses the topical areas in which changes are proposed. Planning Commission Report Code Amendment 2012 -03 December 11, 2012 Page 2 Maintenance Requirements Parking lot maintenance or restriping typically involves patching, slurrying, and re- striping of an existing parking lot or paved area. The scope of work does not encompass parking lot reconfiguration or the removal of any paving material, asphalt, or concrete, with the exception of incidental removal of potholes. Parking lot maintenance work is considered minor in nature. Currently, prior to restriping of any parking lots, approval of a Design Review /Zoning Permit for parking lot restriping is required to ensure compliance with parking lot standards such as dimensions for parking stalls, aisle width (travel lane), overhang, vertical clearance if applicable, queuing distance, ADA requirements, etc. Efforts should be made to achieve compliance with the required number of parking spaces; however, reduction of the number of required parking spaces due to code required re- dimensioning of parking stalls, aisle width, overhang, etc. would be permissible if the new parking lot configuration would be more conforming in dimensions than the prior configuration. The proposed amendment clarifies maintenance requirements within the Off - Street Parking Code Section. With this provision, only reconfiguration of existing parking lots would be required to comply with current standards while restriping /maintenance may occur without further City review. Additions and Modifications to Parking Requirements The proposed amendments add new parking ratios for certain land uses such as body art facilities, tutoring facilities, automated self serve carwashes, and private elementary schools. Body art facilities and automated self serve carwashes have been established in the City; however, no parking standards for these uses were listed in the Off - Street Parking section of the Tustin City Code. The current parking requirements for private schools do not distinguish elementary schools or high schools. As elementary and middle school age children do not drive, the proposed amendment introduces a lesser parking ratio for private elementary and middle schools. All new parking requirements were derived from surveys from other cities, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Study, and ULI's shared parking study. Modification to retail centers parking ratios is also being proposed. Currently, retail centers would need to comply with the parking requirements for each use in the center, i.e. restaurants at 1 space per 100 square feet, retail stores at 1 space per 250 square feet, etc. This requirement makes it difficult for restaurants or other uses typically found in a shopping center to locate in an existing shopping center if their uses require more parking spaces than typical retail uses (note: existing shopping centers typically were built at minimum retail parking ratio). In this case, shopping centers would need to resort to Shared Parking study to justify that the center has adequate number of parking spaces to accommodate the variety of uses. This process takes time and money. Planning Commission Report Code Amendment 2012 -03 December 11, 2012 Page 3 The Code Amendment proposes a new approach to retail centers. Large retail centers (over 30,000 square feet in gross floor area) would be able to use 4.5 spaces for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area regardless of any change in use. This would allow for restaurants or any other more intensive uses to locate at Large Retail centers without the need to provide additional parking spaces. Retail centers with less than 30,000 square feet would still need to meet the individual parking requirement for each use. This new approach is consistent with the ULI's shared parking study and ITE's study and provides the most flexibility for large retail centers. Modifications are also proposed for day care centers in which a more flexible parking ratio may be utilized if adequate drop -off and pick -up areas are provided; and hotels and motels in which the parking ratio is simplified. The day care centers optional parking ratio was requested by an applicant wishing to establish a day care center in the City. Upon research of other cities and ITE's study, staff is in support of this request. As with the hotels and motels, no change to the parking requirement; however, the language is being simplified and clarified. Minor Text Amendments Minor modifications are also proposed throughout the draft ordinance. The modifications are as follows: • Combine parking lot design standards for residential and non - residential uses. Since parking provisions for residential and commercial are generally the same (exception for garage spaces), the proposed code amendment combines the design standards such as space dimensions, drive aisle width, and general design standards for parallel parking, compact spaces, overhang, wheel stops, etc. • Provisions for wider parking spaces when adjacent to physical barriers (i.e. walls). An additional two (2) feet will be required when a parking space is adjacent to a physical barrier such as walls or posts. • Provision for back -up area at dead -end drive aisles. When a drive aisle dead ends, an additional three (3) foot back up area would need to be provided (see Figure 4). • Dual use of loading spaces. A new provision is added to allow for dual use of loading spaces provided that signage is posted indicating hours approved for vehicle parking. • Updates to figures and additions to definitions. Several clarifications to a number of figures have been included in the proposed Code Amendment and new definitions have been added to further describe land uses and parking terms. These minor modifications are necessary to further clarify and strengthen the Off - Street Parking codes.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Directions City of Tustin 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project- specific factors and general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take into account the whole action involved, including off -site, on -site, cumulative project level, indirect, direct, construction, and operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made and EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross - referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and, b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. Issues I. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, tress, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? ❑ ❑ No Impact Discussion: The proposed projects will provide updated parking ordinance with minor text amendments for clarified implementation and enforcement of existing parking requirements and standards. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with this project. a) No Impact. The City of Tustin General Plan encourages protection of scenic views and resources through the Hillside Review process; monitoring and limiting development of Peters Canyon Ridgeline consistent with the requirements of the East Tustin Specific Plan; and through implementation of the Grading and Excavation Code and Grading Manual. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with this project. The parking ordinance updates do not exempt individual projects from review. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable specific plan or other review document and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, these projects will not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. b) No Impact. The General Plan Circulation Element does not identify any State scenic highways within the City. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable specific plan or other review document and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore no impacts are forecast from the implementation of the proposed project. c) No Impact. The parking ordinance amendment and updates do not exempt individual projects from review.

The parking ordinance amendment and updates addresses lighting for parking lots and loading areas consistent with the Security Ordinance. A photometric plan and additional review would be required on a case -by -ease basis for any lighting proposed. Therefore, there is no impact associated with these projects. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1. City of Tustin General Plan (January lb, 2008) 2. City of Tustin Zoning Code Issues: IL 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?

Since there are no improvements proposed in conjunction with this project, it will not result in any impacts to Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland). b) No Impact. Amendments to the parking ordinance will not result in conversion of farmland to a non - agricultural use. There are no areas subject to a Williamson Act contract, and conservation of farmland in the Tustin Planning Area. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with each specific project. Therefore, no impacts are forecasted to occur as a result of implementation of the proposed projects. c) No Impact. As described in Response II.b above, the proposed projects will not directly impact or result in the conversion of existing farmland uses to non - agricultural uses. Therefore, no impacts are forecasted to occur as a result of implementation of the proposed projects. Mitigation Measures/Mouitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1.

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 proj ect: a) Conflict with or obstruct El F1 implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or El El 0 contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? C) Result in a cumulatively considerable E El 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 which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? 6 CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin e) Create objectionable odors affecting a El substantial number of people? Discussion: The proposed projects will provide updated parking ordinance with minor text amendments for clarified implementation and enforcement of existing parking requirements and standards. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with this project. a) No Impacts. The proposed projects would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan, as prepared by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the South Coast Air Basin. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with the amendments to the zoning code. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with applicable specific plan(s) or other review document and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, no impacts are forecasted to occur as a result of implementation of the proposed projects. b -e) No Impacts. Grading and development activities are not associated with the proposed parking code amendments. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with applicable zoning specific plan(s) or other review document and may be subject to separate CEQA review and will be subject to the City's standard conditions of approval to minimize local nuisance from grading and construction activities. This condition is in conformance with the SCAQMD requirements and therefore, no impacts are anticipated to occur.

No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with this project. a, b) No Impact. The California Fish and Game Code was adopted by the State legislature to protect the fish and wildlife resources of the State. Special permits are required for any lake or stream alterations, dredging or other activities that may affect fish and game habitat. No physical improvements are currently proposed in conjunction with the amendment to the parking code. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the California Fish and Game Code and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, no impacts will result with implementation of the proposed projects. CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin c) No Impact. In accordance with the City's existing permit (Order No. R8- 2009 -0030 and NPDES No. CAS618030) with the Santa Ana Regional Quality Control Board, any future applicant may be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to ensure grading and reclamation activities do not allow runoff from the site to carry sediment during a storm event to impair the water quality. Any future project that is considered a priority project will be required to prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) to ensure runoff from the site due to ongoing operations do not impair water quality downstream. Therefore, no impact is anticipated as part of the parking code amendment that could cause a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. d) No Impact. As discussed in response IV.a,b, the parking code amendment does not propose any physical changes. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the California Fish and Game Code and may be subject to separate CEQA review and conditions of approval limiting grading activities. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated from the implementation of the proposed projects. e) No Impact. The City's General Plan Conservation/Open Space /Recreation Element encourage continued maintenance of significant tree stands. The parking ordinance requires landscaping, including trees and shrubs, in areas at the parking lot that are not used as part of the parking and circulation area. Future individual projects would be subject to further review for consistency with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. Therefore, there is no impact. f) No Impact. The City of Tustin is a participating member of the Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) and is within the Coastal Sub /Central Orange County NCCP region. No physical improvements are currently proposed in conjunction with the amendments to the parking code. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable NCCP /HCP plan or any other conservation plan and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, the projects have no impact. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1. City of Tustin General Plan (January 16, 2008) 2.

No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with these projects. a) No Impact. The City of Tustin General Plan sets out conservation goals to maintain and enhance the City's unique culturally and historically significant building sites or features. Specifically, Policy 12.1: Identify, designate, and protect facilities of historical significance, and 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. Since the parking code amendment will not change or alter the physical environment, and each individual proposal will be subject to the City's Goals and Policies of the General Plan, the project is not anticipated to create a substantial adverse change to historical resources and no impacts are forecasted from the implementation of the proposed project. b, c) No Impact. According to the City of Tustin General Plan Conservation/Open Space /Recreation Element (Goal 13), and the Standard Conditions of Approval, individual projects will be subject to site inspection by certified archaeologists or paleontologists for new development in designated sensitive areas. These conditions will be required on a case -by -case basis for individual projects; however the parking code amendment proposes no physical changes. Therefore, no impacts related to archaeological resources would result from the proposed projects. d) No Impact. No physical improvements are currently proposed in conjunction with the parking code amendments. As such, the project will not adversely affect, destroy or disturb human remains. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with a specific project and standard conditions of approval applied; however, no foreseeable impacts related to cultural resources are anticipated.

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. The Code Amendments propose no physical changes and individual proposals would be subject to individual review. Therefore, no impacts associated with rupture of a known earthquake fault are anticipated with the implementation of the proposed proj ects. a (ii) No Impact. 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 at 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 (CBC) 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, Safety Element). With application of the provisions of Chapter 16A Division IV of the 1998 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 parking code amendments and individual projects would be subject to the California Building Code and the SEAOC guidelines, no impacts will occur as part of these projects. a (iii -iv) No Impact. There is no development associated with the parking code amendments and individual 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 these projects. b) No Impact. 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 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Management Plan (RWQMP) for compliance with the Statewide NPDES for construction activity. The SWPPP would contain Best Management Practices (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. A standard condition of approval requiring BMP's as part of individual development plans will be required prior to issuance of a grading permit for any future project. Therefore, no impacts will occur as part of these proj ects. e -d) No Impact. As indicated in VLa(ii) above, there is no development associated with the parking code amendments and individual projects would be subject to the California Building Code 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 zoning code amendment, no impacts will occur as part of these projects. e) No Impact. The proposed code amendments do not involve the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems. On a case -by -case basis, any future proposed project will be subject to submit a site - specific geotechnical investigation for the site and preparation of a geologic and soils report prepared by a certified soils engineer. Therefore, no impacts will occur from the implementation of the proposed projects. Mitigation Measures /Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1.

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 projects, and no mitigation measures are required. d) No Impact. These projects do not involve a specific hazardous materials site. Any new development project will be subject to review with the list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. A standard condition of approval will require a site - specific geotechnical investigation for the entire site and preparation of a geologic and soils report will be required as part of the project. Therefore, no impacts related to this issue will result from the proposed projects. e - I) No Impact. According to the City's General Plan Circulation Element, air travel is available from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, approximately five miles to the south by surface roadway. However, the Tustin Planning Area does not lie within any of John Way's safety zones. The former MCAS Tustin helicopter station is located in the southern portion of the City. A Specific Plan for reuse of the base has resulted in the elimination of aviation uses, with the exception of heliports individually permitted or blimp operations as an interim use. Any new development will be subject to review with the Airport Land Use Commission if necessary. Any conditions of approval will be incorporated into each individual project where necessary. Therefore, no safety hazards are anticipated related to this issue. g -h) No Impact. The proposed parking code amendments would not involve any uses that would interfere with the City's Emergency Operations Plan or with major emergency evacuation routes out of the area nor is it anticipated to expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this issue. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1.

Discussion: The proposed project will provide updated parking ordinance with minor text amendments for clarified implementation and enforcement of existing parking requirements and standards. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with this project. a - b) No Impact. 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 a development project, the applicant will 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 would 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 that there is no development proposed as part of these projects, there would be no impacts. e) No Impact. Construction of any future project may temporarily alter existing drainage patterns, as there would be areas of exposed soil during grading and excavation activities. If a storm event were to occur during these activities, exposed sediments may be carried off-site and into the local storm drain system increasing siltation. However, as discussed in Response No. VIII.a -b, any future project would be required, as part of the standard conditions of approval, to implement construction BMPs in compliance with the NPDES permit and Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with these proj ects. d -e) No Impact. The projects includes minor text amendments to the zoning code. Any future project would be subject to individual review and may be subject to CEQA review. To ensure off -site drainage does not result in flooding on or off -site, 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. This will ensure drainage improvements of any fixture project site will have a less than significant effect on the environment. However, there are no impacts associated with the implementation of the parking ordinance. f) No Impact. Compliance with the NPDES permit (refer to Response VIII.a -b) and BMPs (discussed in Responses VIII.a -b, VIII.c, and VIII.d above) would reduce potential water quality impacts to less than significant levels. There are no impacts associated with the implementation of the parking ordinance. g - h) No Impact. Future projects may generate runoff and may increase runoff and types of pollutants (i.e.: some trash and oil /grease from vehicles) that are typically associated with parking areas. However, adherence to an approved Water Quality Management Plan will help to minimize polluted runoff into the storm drain. Since there is no development CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin associated with the parking code amendments and individual projects may be subject to providing a WQMP on a case -by- case basis, no impacts will occur as part of these projects. i-j) No Impact. As described in response VIIIg -h, runoff typically increases with parking, however, there is no development associated with the zoning amendment and individual projects would be subject to providing a WQMP on a case -by -case basis. Therefore there are no impacts associated with the proposed project. k) No Impact. Any future project may generate and increase runoff and types of pollutants (i.e.: some trash and oil/grease from vehicles). As discussed in Response No. VIII a -b) and c), construction and operation of any new project will be subject to comply with the requirements of the Orange County NPDES program, which is designed to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff. Accordingly, any new applicant will be required to implement BMPs as identified in the Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff during and after construction of the proposed project. Adherence to an approved Water Quality Management Plan will help to minimize polluted runoff into the storm drain. There is no development associated with these projects and individual projects would be subject to providing a WQMP on a case -by -case basis. Therefore, no impacts will occur. 1) No Impact. There is no construction proposed as part of the proposed projects. There are no Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA's) or Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) identified on the San Diego Creek Watershed map. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this issue. m) No Impact. If a new development or redevelopment project involves the addition of 2,500 square feet or more of impervious surface and is located within, directly adjacent to (within 200 feet), or discharging directly to receiving waters within environmentally sensitive areas, then it qualifies as a priority project and is subject to additional requirements. Since there is no development associated with these projects and individual projects would be subject to providing a WQMP on a case -by -case basis, no impacts will occur. n) No Impact. There is no development associated with these projects and future projects would be subject to individual review on a case -by -case basis, no impacts will occur as part of these projects. o) No Impact. As discussed in response VIII 1, there are no Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA's) or Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) identified on the Sand Diego Creek Watershed map. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this issue. p - q) No Impact. As discussed in Response No. VIII a- c, any future construction of individual projects will be subject to comply with the requirements of the Orange County NPDES program, which is designed to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff. Accordingly, any individual applicant will be required to implement BMPs as identified in the Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff during and after construction of the proposed project. No impact is associated with the Code Amendments. r) No Impact. As discussed in Response No. VIII a- c, any future proposed construction and operation of an individual project will be subject to comply with the requirements of the Orange County NPDES program, which is designed to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff. Accordingly, individual applicants will be required to implement BMPs as identified in the Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff during and after construction of the proposed project. No impact areas are anticipated as part of this Code Amendments. s) No Impact. As discussed in Response No. VIII n, since there is no development associated with these projects and future projects would be subject to individual review on a case -by -case basis, no impacts will occur as part of these projects. 19 CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin t - u) No Impact. Any individual projects will be subject to review according to the Flood Insurance Rate Map. The map would indicate whether a project was subject to a flood zone. However, no development is proposed as part of these projects. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this issue. v) No Impact. In the unlikely event of flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam, the City has implemented an Emergency Preparedness Plan that addresses several hazard areas including flooding. This Emergency Preparedness Plan has been reviewed by State and Federal agencies which have their own roles in the event of an emergency. Any future development project would be subject to review on a case -by -case basis as to whether or not it is within a flood zone (as addressed in VIII t -u) and potentially subject to significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam. However, there are no impacts associated with these projects. w) No Impact. Any future development projects would be subject to review to determine whether the project is within an area that has been identified as susceptible to liquefaction or potential bedrock landslides. These areas are identified on Figure COSR -1 of the City's General Plan. When development is proposed within these areas, studies shall be performed as directed by the City to determine the potential for hazards and the amount of development which is supportable on the site. As described in VIII v, in the unlikely event of inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow an individual project would be part of the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan. Therefore, no impacts associated with this issue. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1. City of Tustin General Plan (January 16, 2008) 2.

No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with these projects. a) No Impact. The parking ordinance update will provide minor text amendments to clarify and strengthen regulations and will not divide an established community. Therefore, no impacts will occur. b) No Impact. The City's General Plan Circulation Element Implementation Program indicates the following: "Parking Ordinance Study: The City shall complete a Parking Ordinance study which will include issues such as guest parking standards, shared use of parking facilities, parking for smaller vehicles and necessary changes to City codes and regulations." This parking ordinance update will provide minor text amendments to the parking requirements to clarify and strengthen regulations. Therefore, the project is in conformance with the General Plan, and there are no conflicts related to this issue. e) No Impact. As indicated in response IV f, the City of Tustin is a participating member of the Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) and is within the Central /Coastal Orange County region. No physical improvements are currently proposed in conjunction with the amendments to the parking code. Impacts related to any future project would be identified and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable NCCP /HCP plan or any other conservation plan and may be subject to separate CEQA review.

The City of Tustin General Plan Noise Element, and the City's Municipal Code, Chapter 6 Section 4614, Noise Control (Noise Ordinance) establish noise standards for the City. The Safety and Noise Element addresses noise with respect to general land use compatibility, while the Noise Ordinance addresses noise from specific sources. The Noise Ordinance established exterior noise standards of 55 dBA during the daytime hours between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. and 50 dBA during the nighttime hours between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. These noise standards are adjusted further based on the cumulative duration of the noise occurrence, as well as the prevailing ambient noise levels near the project. Each future individual development project will be subject to review on a case -by -case basis. The proposed projects would not expose people to excessive noise, therefore, no impact will occur as a result of these projects. e-f) No Impact. As indicated in response VII e -f, according to the City's General Plan Circulation Element, air travel is available from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, approximately five miles to the south by surface roadway. However, the Tustin Planning Area does not lie within any of John Way's safety zones. The former MCAS Tustin helicopter station was located in the southern portion of the City. A Specific Plan for reuse of the base has resulted in the elimination of aviation uses, with the exception of heliports individually permitted or blimp operations as an interim use. New development could be subject to review with the Airport Land Use Commission if necessary as well as with the Noise Ordinance. Any conditions of approval will be incorporated into each individual project where necessary. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: No additional mitigation measures required Sources: 1.

The Orange County Fire Authority provides fire protection for the City of Tustin on a contractual basis. All water mains and fire hydrants must be constructed in accordance with Orange County guidelines and are subject to approval by the Orange County Fire Authority. Adherence to these guidelines will ensure that no significant impacts on fire protection services will occur. Future projects will be subject to individual review by the Fire Authority. Therefore, there are no impacts related to fire protection. Police protection. No Impact. The Tustin Police Department provides law enforcement services within the City of Tustin. Routine and scheduled patrolling is done throughout the City and would continue as they do under existing conditions. It is not anticipated that the proposed parking amendments would require additional officers. Rather, it is assumed that the Police Department will continue to assess and evaluate its crime statistics for problem areas within the City. No impacts associated with the implementation of the parking code. Schools. No Impact. The proposed project will not provide housing that would generate demand for additional schools. The project will not increase student population necessitating a need for new or expanded school facilities. No impacts are anticipated. Parks. No Impact. The proposed projects do not propose new construction and would not attract new residents to the area. Therefore, the project would not generate a demand for additional parks. No mitigation measures are required. Other Public Facilities. No Impact. The proposed parking ordinance update addresses parking requirements for future projects. The proposed project would not result in any substantial increase in demands on other government services or public facilities such as roads, libraries, hospitals, or post offices. Future projects may generate traffic however; these impacts would be reviewed and considered on a case -by -case basis and conditions of approval included as necessary to mitigate impacts. These projects would not increase the need for maintenance of these public facilities. No mitigation measures are required.

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? e) Result in a change in air traffic ❑ ❑ ❑ patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? 26 CA 2012-03 & CA 2012-04 City of Tustin Issues: Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significant Significant Impact Impact With Impact Mitigation Incorporated d) Substantially increase hazards due to a E-1 El El M design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency El El access? f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? 0 g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, El F1 or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? Discussion: The proposed projects will provide updated parking ordinance with minor text amendments for clarified implementation and enforcement of existing parking requirements and standards. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with these projects. a) No Impact. Construction and operation of future projects may generate traffic. These impacts would be reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis and conditions of approval included as necessary to mitigate impacts. The proposed project is not anticipated to impact traffic. No mitigation is necessary. b) No Impact. The City has adopted a Congestion Management Program (CMP) to reduce traffic congestion and to provide a mechanism for coordinating land use development and transportation improvement decisions. Any future project will require review and conformance with the requirements of the Tustin General Plan and the CMP. However, no improvements are proposed as part of these projects. Therefore, it would have no impact and no mitigation is necessary. c) No Impact. The projects would not produce any air traffic increases, nor would impact existing air traffic patterns. No impacts are anticipated from implementation of the proposed projects. d) No Impact. The parking ordinance update will provide minor text amendments to clarify and strengthen parking regulations. This will help to ensure that individual future projects are designed to avoid hazards and be compatible with surrounding uses. e) No Impact. The proposed projects do not include any new development and will not result in inadequate emergency access. Future projects will be reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis and conditions of approval included as necessary to mitigate impacts. No mitigation is necessary. f) No Impact. Individual uses and their required parking need will be updated to ensure that adequate parking capacity is provided for future projects. Therefore, there is no impact to this issue and no mitigation is necessary. g) No Impact. The projects will not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation in that the parking code update are minor text amendments to Tustin's existing parking regulations and help 27 CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin provide comprehensive parking regulations. These regulations are consistent with the City's Circulation Element which addresses the circulation improvements needed to provide adequate capacity for future land uses. The Element establishes a hierarchy of transportation routes with specific development standards. Future projects will be required to conform to the City's Circulation Element based on individual review. Therefore, there is no impact to this issue and no mitigation is necessary.

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? In making this determination, the City shall consider whether the project is subject to the water supply assessment requirements of Water Code Section 10910, et. Seq. (SB 610), and the requirements of Government Code Section 664737 (SB 221).

I) Be served by a landfill with sufficient El F permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? g) Comply with federal, state, and local El E statutes and regulations related to solid waste? h) Would the project include a new or retrofitted storm water treatment control Best Management Practice (BMP), (e.g. water quality treatment basin, constructed treatment wetlands), the operation of which could result in significant environmental effects (e.g. increased vectors and odors)? Discussion: The proposed projects will provide updated parking ordinance with minor text amendments for clarified implementation and enforcement of existing parking requirements and standards. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with these projects. a) No Impact. The Tustin Planning Area is located within the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Quality Control Board. Any wastewater generated by future projects would be subject to review for impacts on wastewater facilities. Typically, any increase in wastewater flows resulting from an off - street parking project would be minimal. Future projects would be required to comply with local and state regulations to minimize any potential impacts from hazardous materials use. As discussed in Section VIII. Hydrology and Water Quality, any future project would be required to implement standard BMPs to control storm water runoff at the project site. Therefore, no impacts are associated with these projects. b) No Impact. Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) provides water and wastewater services and the Orange County Sewer District provides wastewater services within the Tustin Planning Area. The amount of potable water needed and wastewater generated by a future project would most likely be nominal. Minor infrastructure improvements may be required to provide on -site connections from the existing water and wastewater services to any new project. These minor improvements would be reviewed on a case -by -case basis for any potential to cause significant environmental impacts. Since there are no new wastewater treatments facilities or potable water facilities will be needed as part of these projects there are no impacts. W CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin c) No Impact. As discussed in Response No. XVI a) above, future projects would be required to comply with local and state regulations to minimize any potential impacts from expansion of existing facilities. Any future project would be required to implement standard BMPs to control storm water runoff at the project site. There are no impacts from implementation of the proposed project. The project would also implement construction and post - construction BMPs in compliance with the NPDES permit and Orange County Drainage Area Master Plan (DAMP) to eliminate or reduce erosion and polluted runoff. Therefore, there are no impacts associated with this issue. d- e) No Impact. As discussed in Response No. XVI b) above, the increase in water demand from any future project is anticipated to be nominal. New project would be reviewed on a case -by -case basis for any potential to cause significant environmental impacts. No mitigation measures are required. f -g) No Impact. CR &R Waste Services provides solid waste collection and disposal services to the City of Tustin. Any solid waste generated a future project would be diverted to a transfer station and then to the Bee CanyonJBowerman Landfill located at 11002 Bee Canyon Access Road in Irvine. The parking code amendments do not propose any construction however, future projects would be reviewed on an individual bases. Parking is usually an accessory requirement to a main use and typically generates only a nominal increase in waste. This increase would be well within the 900 tons of waste that Bee Canyon/Bowerman Landfill can accommodate. Furthermore, any future project would be required to comply with local, state, and federal requirements for integrated waste management (i.e. recycling) and solid waste disposal. Waste Management provides recycling opportunities to businesses and institutions, although implementation of recycling programs by businesses and institutions is voluntary. The project is anticipated to have a no impact on landfill capacity. h) No Impact. A Standard Condition of Approval will be added to individual future projects requiring a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for the use of non structural and/or structural BMPs including but not limited to tenant education, activity restrictions, street sweeping, landscaped areas with efficient irrigation and limited run -off, strategically placed catch basins with fossil filters, and catch basin stenciling. BMPs required as part of an individual project would not necessarily result in any significant environmental effect. No impact as part of these projects.

Discussion: The proposed projects will provide updated parking ordinance with minor text amendments for clarified implementation and enforcement of existing parking requirements and standards. No physical improvements are proposed in conjunction with these projects. a) No Impact. The proposed parking code amendments will provide minor text amendments for clarified implementation of the parking requirements. The minor text amendments will better organize and supplement Tustin's existing parking regulations. There is no development proposed as part of these Code Amendments, therefore, the projects will not have the potential to significantly impact sensitive resources. b) No Impact. As discussed in response XVIIa, the parking code amendment will provide minor text amendments. The Amendments, as proposed, are consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan. Therefore, the project is not expected to have any cumulatively considerable impacts. 31 CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin e) No Impact. As demonstrated throughout this Initial Study, the proposed projects will not have any significant effects considered cumulatively considerable. d) No Impact.
