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.
