2. GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY DETERMINATION.
In 1988, The Irvine Company offered a portion of land adjacent to the Tustin
Market Place shopping center for dedication to the City for future extension of
Myford Road. Since the extension of Myford Road is not foreseen in the near
future, the area in the interim has been used for the Auto Center overflow parking
of new vehicles.
The Irvine Company recently approached the City and offered to dedicate the
future Myford Road parcel and the adjacent remaining parcel in fee title due to
the fact that the land has been offered to dedicate for street purposes and the
remnant parcel is impractical to develop. The grant of the land to the City is to
be used for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of public
roadway/right-of-way purposes; and in the interim may include landscaping,
fences, gates, lighting and parking of new vehicles for Tustin Auto Center
dealerships. The area will be granted via a Grant Deed to be accepted by the
City Engineer as authorized in the recent amendment to the Subdivision Code
(Ordinance No. 1430).
