The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin ("City") does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Tustin Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
Ao
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin has been determined surplus to the
needs of the federal government and has been approved for disposal by the
United States Department of the Navy (DON) in accordance with the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment Act (DBCRA) of 1990 (10 USC 2687) and the
pertinent base closure and realignment decisions of the Defense Base
Closure and Realignment Commission approved by the' President and
accepted by Congress in 1991, 1993, and 1995; and,
S.
The City of Tustin has been approved by the Department of Defense as the
Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for MCAS Tustin and is responsible for
preparing a Reuse Plan describing the reuse of the installation and providing
recommendations to the DON for disposal of the former base to various
public agencies and the homeless. The goal of base disposal and reuse is
economic redevelopment and job creation to help replace the economic
stimulus previously provided by the military installation. The LRA submitted
the Reuse Plan for MC,AS Tustin to the Department of Defense in October
1996, and an Errata amending the Reuse Plan in September 1998; and,
Co
On January 16, 2001, the Tustin City Council adopted Resolution 00-90 that
certified the Joint Final EIS/EIR for the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin,
and adopted Resolution 00-91 that adopted General Plan Amendment 00-001
establishing a MCAS Tustin Specific Plan general plan land use designation
for the Tustin portion of the former MCAS Tustin and adjacent 4.1-acre
property in anticipation that Specific Plan zoning regulations would be
adopted for the site.
Resolution No. 3848

D,
California State law allows a City to adopt a specific plan for the systematic
implementation of the General Plan and to provide comprehensive direction for
the development type, location and intensity of uses, design and capacity of
infrastructure, design guidelines, and other planning activities. The closure of
MCAS Tustin and implementation of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
necessitates the amendment of the Tustin Zoning Map and Tustin City Code;
and,
Eo
The Tustin Planning Commission has received a request to consider and make
a recommendation to the Tustin City Council on the proposed Zone Change 02-
006 that is intended to amend the Tustin Zoning Map from Public and
Institutional (P&I) to MCAS Tustin Specific Plan District (SP-1 Specific Plan) and
amend the Tustin City Code to add Section 9246 establishing the MC^S Tustin
Specific Plan District (SP-1 Specific Plan) zoning regulations that will apply to
future development within the Specific Plan area.
Fo
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan project, evidenced by the proposed zone
change project was evaluated in the Program EIS/EIR. No additional
environmental analysis or action is required prior to City action on the
proposed project.
On October 28, 2002, the Tustin Planning Commission held a duly-noticed
public hearing to provide a further opportunity for the general public to
comment on and respond to the proposed Zone Change 02-006; and
H. The Tustin Planning Commission has received, reviewed and considered the
proposed Zone Change 02-006, the testimony, evidence and comments made
at the public hearing and has made the following Findings:
.
That closure of MCAS Tustin and completion of the federally mandated
Reuse Plan for MC^S Tustin necessitates that the current Tustin Zoning
Map and Tustin City Code be amended prior to implementing actions that
will result in the economic redevelopment of the base for civilian purposes.
.
That the City of Tustin has prepared Zone Change 02-006, an amendment
of the Tustin Zoning Map from Public and Institutional (P&I) to MC^S
Tustin Specific Plan District (SP-1 Specific Plan) and an amendment to
the Tustin City Code to establish the MC^S Tustin Specific Plan District
(SP-1 Specific Plan) zoning regulations in accordance with Section 65451
of the California Government Code.
.
That approval of the revisions proposed for Zone Change 02-006 will
result in the systematic implementation of the Tustin General Plan and will
serve as an effective guide for the orderly growth and development of
compatible uses of the subject property in a manner that will not be

detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of
persons residing or working in or adjacent to the former MCAS Tustin
property.
4. Reasonable alternatives to the project and their implications have been
considered.
,
That Zone Change 02-006 and establishment of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan District (SP-1 Specific Plan) conforms to the City's General Plan, as
most recently amended in February 2002 in accordance with Section
65454 of the California Government Code.
6. Administration of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan is thoroughly integrated
into the City's development processing system.
II.
The Tustin Planning Commission hereby recommends that the Tustin City Council
approve Zone Change 02-006, amending the Tustin Zoning Map and Tustin City
Code as identified in "Exhibit 1" attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission held
on the 28th day of October 2002.
