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 conjunctio with the California Fish and Game Code and may be subject to separate CEQA review. Therefore, no impacts will resul-,—, with implementation of the proposed projects. CA 2012-03 & CA 2012-04 City of Tustin c) No Impact.

City of Tustin ❑ F-1 ® Iffiffi, NO I 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 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 he 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. A such, the project will not adversely affect, destroy or disturb human remains. Impacts related to any future project would b 101 identified and evaluated in conjunction with a specific project and standard conditions of approval applied; however, n foreseeable impacts related to cultural resources are anticipated.

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 mwith these projects. CA 2012 -03 & CA 2012 -04 City of Tustin a (i) No Impact. 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 suspecte0 potentially active faults identified within the Planning Area. The El Modena fault passes through the Planning Area 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 projects. 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- Prioio 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 N 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. S EMIR, b) No Impact. The City of Tustin is a co- permittee with Orange County in the NPDES program, which is designed t(111100- 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 projects. c -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 geoteehnical 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.

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 as4i�- INNER`- part of these projects, there would be no impacts. NINE c) 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 projects. 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 future 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. I) 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 approve�m""a Water Quality Management Plan will help to minimize polluted runoff into the storm drain. Since there is no developmen ULIN CA 2012-03 & CA 2012-04 City of Tustin associated with the parking code amendments and individual projects may }esubject to providing u WQMP on case basis, uu impacts will occur aa part m[these projects. i+ No Impact. As described in o:spoomu VUIg-h' runoff typically increases with parking, however, there is no development associated with the zoning amendment and individual projects would be subject to providing aWQMP on 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 (ie.: some trash and oil/grease from vehicles).

Any individual projects will be subject to review according to the Flood Insurance Rate Map. The map 915011% would indicate whether a project was subject to a flood zone. However, no development is proposed as part of theseI-11-1111 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 (June 17, 2008) 2.

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.

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 Canyon/Bowerman 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 Canvo it /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= EM placed catch basins with fossil filters, and catch basin stenciling. BMPs required as part of an individual project would I' not necessarily result in any significant environmental effect. No impact as part of these projects.
