PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Adopted Resolution 3. SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 2012-002 (ORDINANCE
No. 4215 NO. 1426), MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN.
The proposed amendment will not “substantially alter” the
current adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and is intended
to: 1) clarify, consolidate, simplify, and update current
Specific Plan language, tables, and regulations; 2)
implement the City Council-approved disposition strategy,
and reflect recently approved entitlements; and 3) make
other minor text or exhibit/graphic improvements to the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed Amendment is
consistent with the current overall development potential,
intensity, and/or residential capacity allowed by the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed
project that concluded no additional environmental impacts
would occur from approval of the project (Attached to
Resolution No. 4215). The Environmental Analysis
Checklist concludes that it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the activity in question may have
a significant effect on the environment since the proposed
refinement would not increase the overall development
potential or residential capacity currently allowed by the
adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and that the FEIS/EIR,
Addendum and Supplement are sufficient for the proposed
project.

recommended for City Council approval.
The public hearing opened and closed at 7:28 p.m.
Kozak Stated the Specific Plan Amendment updates given this evening are
adaptive and consistent with the General Plan, with the City
Council’s Disposition Strategy, and that there is not an increase in
the total units or allowable square footage in the Specific Plan.
