Minutes — Planning Commission March 26, 2013 — Page 1 of 4
The City Council certified the Program Final Environmental
Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for
the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin along with its
Supplemental and Addendum. The FEIS/EIR evaluated the
environmental impacts of the reuse and disposal of MCAS-
Tustin, which included the adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (MMRP) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15097. The MMRP is a review of actions
performed by the City or other responsible agencies in
implementing mitigation measures identified in the FEIS/EIR.
The MMRP includes the monitoring and reporting
components as follows:
1. The monitoring component ensures that project
compliance is checked on a regular basis during and, if
necessary, after implementation.
2. The reporting component ensures that the City and/or
responsible agencies are informed of compliance with
mitigation measures required by the FEIS/EIR.
The disposal and reuse of MCAS Tustin is a long-term
program where mitigation measures may be applicable at the
individual development project level, overall program level, art
construction level, or operational level. To coordinate
implementation and reporting the completion of the MMRP,
an annual review of the progress of the program is
necessary.
This annual review and progress memorandum provides the
following:
A general description of the project's status, including
actual or projected completion dates, if known.
2. The current status for each mitigation measure.
That the Planning Commission review and authorize staff to
forward the Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status Report to
the City Council for consideration.
Hutter Gave a presentation on the item.
