RESOLUTION NO. 13-33
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT (GPA) 2013-001 BY ADDING A NEW LOCAL
STREET (BELL AVENUE) TO SERVICE ADJACENT USES.
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. That the City of Tustin ( "City ") and the South Orange County Community
College District ( "SOCCCD ") propose a General Plan Amendment (GPA)
2013 -001 by adding a new local street (Bell Avenue) to service adjacent
uses; MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 2013 -001 by
incorporating text allowing private for - profit non - educational uses and
increase allowable building square footages within the education village
(Neighborhood A) of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and adding a new
local street (Bell Avenue); Development Agreement (DA) 2013 -002 to
facilitate the development, conveyance, and land exchange within the
boundaries of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan; and an Agreement for the
Exchange of Real Property.
That the project consists of an agreement between the South Orange
County Community College District (SOCCCD or District) and the City of
Tustin (City) which delineates the terms and processes associated with
the exchange of the ultimate ownership of approximately 90 acres of land
within the Tustin Legacy (Agreement for the Exchange of Real Property
Between the City of Tustin and South Orange County Community College
District). The objectives of the project are to rationalize property
boundaries to create larger, contiguous land areas for the City and
SOCCCD, provide for a broader range of land uses in support of the
objectives of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, and enhance circulation in
the Project area by improving east -west connectivity between the existing
Red Hill and Armstrong Avenues.
C. That to facilitate the exchange, several entitlements and implementation
documents are necessary. This includes a General Plan Amendment
(GPA) to add the Bell Avenue extension to the City's circulation plan and
correct preexisting inconsistencies with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on April 23, 2013, by the Planning Commission and the
Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4223 recommending that
the City Council approve GPA 2013 -001.

That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on May 13, 2013, by the City Council.
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS /EIR)
for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin. On April 3, 2006, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an Addendum to the
FEIS /EIR. On December 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
04 -76 approving a Supplement to the FEIS /EIR for the extension of Tustin
Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and the future alignment of Valencia
North Loop Road. The FEIS /EIR along with its Addendum and Supplement
is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The FEIS /EIR, Addendum and Supplement considered the potential
environmental impacts associated with development on the former Marine
Corps Air Station, Tustin.
G. An Environmental Checklist has been prepared and concluded that these
actions do not result in any new significant environmental impacts or a
substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified significant
impacts in the FEIS /EIR. Moreover, no new information of substantial
importance has surfaced since certification of the FEIS /EIR. However,
because some changes and additions were required to the FEIS /EIR, the
City has prepared an Addendum to the FEIS /EIR. The Planning
Commission will consider the Addendum along with the FEIS /EIR prior to
making a recommendation to the City Council on the GPA 2013 -001, SPA
2013 -001 and DA 2013 -002.
H. That the addition of Bell Avenue extension to the City's General Plan
Circulation Element and correction to preexisting inconsistencies with the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan are considered minor amendment and can be
supported since the addition of Bell Avenue would improve the City's
circulation system and would not have any significant negative impact.
II. The City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment 2013 -001 attached
hereto as Exhibit 1; provided that as a condition precedent to GPA 2013 -001
becoming effective, Ordinance No. 1432 shall become effective.
