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 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
IN
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.

Pollution Prevention pbm (3WPPP)to ensure grading and reclamation oodvhieo do not allow runoff from the site to carry
sediment during u storm event to impair the water quality. Any future project that ia considered a priority project will be
required to prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WOMP)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.

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 signcance, 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 er,
MEN
such, the project will not adversely affect, destroy or disturb human remains. Impacts related to any future project would be MOMM
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.

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 - c) No Impact. The projects involve the implementation of zoning code amendment for parking. There are no am
hazardous materials proposed as part of this project. Each individual development project will be subject to review on a
MIN
case-by-case basis for hazardous materials. Therefore, no impacts related to this issue will result from the praposed
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.

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
NONNI
part of these projects, there would be no impacts.
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.
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 VIIIA 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

a) Fire protection. No Impact. The Orange County Fire Authority provides fire protection for the City of Tustin on a
Ig
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
z:'
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
PIN
however; these impacts would be reviewed and considered on a case-by-ease 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.

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 oft - 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
M required to provide on -site connections from the existing seater and wastewater services to any new project. These minor
