INTRODUCTION
California State Law requires each City to adopt a comprehensive, long -term general
plan for its physical development and any land outside its boundaries which bears a
relationship to its planning activities. In essence, the City's general plan serves as the
blueprint for future growth and development. As a blueprint for the future, the plan
contains policies and programs designed to provide decision makers with a basis for all
land use related decisions.
Tustin adopted its first General Plan in 1966. The Plan was prepared as a joint effort
between the City of Tustin Planning Department and the County of Orange Advance
Planning Division. Major changes to State law led to the preparation of, and revisions
to, Tustin's General Plan during the 1970s and 1980s. During this period of time,
General Plan elements were developed and /or amended incrementally. Tustin's current
General Plan was comprehensively amended and adopted in January 2001 and
subsequently amended in 2005 (El Camino Real reclassification) and 2007 (Pacific
Center East Specific Plan boundary adjustment). In 2008, the General Plan was
updated with minor text amendments (clean up items reflecting current status) and in
2009 and 2013 the City updated its Housing Element in compliance with State's law. In
2012, the Conservation /Open Space /Recreation Element was updated regarding
existing and proposed parks and facilities inventory and other minor text amendments.
The General Plan incorporates all required elements as follows: Land Use, Housing,
Conservation /Open Space /Recreation, Noise, Circulation, Public Safety and a locally
mandated element, Growth Management. The City's current Housing Element was
adopted by the City Council in October 2013 in compliance with the State Law.
Following the adoption of the Housing Element, HCD provided the City with certification
on November 6, 2013.
Section 65400 (b) of the Government Code requires that the City's planning agency
provide:
1) An annual report to the City Council on the status of the General Plan and
progress in its implementation;
2) Its progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs; local efforts to
remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and
development of housing; and
3) The degree to which its approved general plan complies with the guidelines
developed and adopted pursuant to Section 65040.2 and the date of the last
revision to the general plan.
This annual report covers activities between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013,
and is required to be provided to the City Council. Following the City Council's action,
the annual report will be forwarded to the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and the State Office of Planning and Research.

2013 General Plan Annual Report Page 2
Beginning with 2010 Annual Report, HCD requires that each city prepare an annual report
using forms and definitions adopted by HCD. Appendix A to the General Plan Annual
Report includes Table A (Annual Building Activity Summary — New Construction), Table
A2 (Annual Building Activity Report — Units Rehabilitated, Preserved, and Acquired), Table
B (Regional Housing Need Allocation Progress), and Table C (Program Implementation
Status).
PROGRESS REPORT
The City's General Plan implementation progress report has individual sections
organized by element (Table 3). Each section includes a brief description of the scope
of the element and a discussion of program accomplishments relevant to each goal.
Program accomplishments include: ordinances, programs, guidelines, specific plans,
general plan amendments, and discretionary actions adopted or implemented during the
reporting period. Often these program accomplishments meet several goals that are
interrelated to various elements of the General Plan. To avoid redundancy, the
implementation programs are described under the primary goal they implement and are
listed by name only under secondary goals.
EFFORTS TO REMOVE GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
TO THE MAINTENANCE, IMPROVEMENT, AND
DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING
The City has taken the following steps to remove governmental constraints that hinder the
development of affordable housing:
1. Continued implementation of the City's General Plan;
2. Continued to update General Plan as needed to ensure internal consistency and
consistency with State and federal law;
3. Continued processing of development plans to include affordable housing
components through entitlements and Development Agreements;
4. Continued to grant density bonuses by providing developer incentives for the
production of affordable housing as provided by State Law and City Ordinance No.

5. Complied with the affordable housing provisions under Community Redevelopment
Law as may be updated with recent passage and ruling of AB1X 26 and 27 and
consistent with the goals and objectives of the Housing Element;
2013 General Plan Annual Report Page 3
6. Allocated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for improvements
within the low- to moderate - income neighborhoods to encourage rehabilitation and
revitalization;
7. Provided various grants, loans, and down - payment assistance to assist the low- to
moderate - income households in purchasing and rehabilitating their homes; and
This General Plan Annual Report enables the City to assess the effectiveness of its
General Plan and provides guidance to the City in focusing on its future goals and policies.
As evidenced by this General Plan Annual Report, the City has implemented numerous
ordinances, programs, guidelines, specific plans, general plan amendments, and
discretionary actions in accordance with its General Plan goals. Many of these
implementation tools execute goals within several General Plan elements, demonstrating
the interrelationship among the elements and the comprehensive approach the City has
taken in implementing the General Plan. The City will continue its efforts in carrying out
the identified goals and policies of the General Plan.

policy guidance for local decision making related to housing. The City
has received correspondence from the State Department of Housing and
Community Development stating that Tustin's Housing Element has been
certified for the next eight (8) years.
• Downtown Commercial Core Plan: The City initiated visioning and planning
efforts for the development of a Downtown Commercial Core Plan. The vision
for the development of a Plan is to promote Downtown Tustin as the historic,
economic, and cultural heart of the City in such a way that enhances a strong
business climate. The plan would ensure implementation of coordinated
development in the area and enhance customer visitation to the commercial
corridors of Old Town, First Street, and the freeway interface. By adopting an
effective plan, private- sector reinvestment could be encouraged to develop,
redevelop and maintain a vibrant downtown commercial core.

abandoned carts throughout the City.
9. The administrative citations program has continued to assist Code
Enforcement Officers and Police Officers in resolving code violations in a
timely manner. A link on the City's website provides information and access
to online payment information for the public. Twenty (20) citations were
issued in 2013 with thirteen (13) cases closed at the end of the report period.
In addition, $7,650 was collected in administrative citation fees.
• Alcoholic Beverage Sales Guidelines: The City continues to implement the
Alcoholic Beverage Sales guidelines. These guidelines are to be considered
in conjunction with the conditional use permit process to promote and protect
public health, safety, and general welfare, and preserve and enhance the
quality of the City relating to establishments selling alcoholic beverages for

Successor Agency (formerly Redevelopment Agency) Programs: As a
result of the passage of AB1X 26 and the State Supreme Court's ruling in
December 2011, the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency began
the dissolution of the program. The Housing Rehabilitation Program and the

Agency had prepared have been placed on hold until alternative funding
sources are identified.

With the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, the City will experience
adverse effects on implementing programs due to a lack of funding.
On March 15, 2011, the City Council established a Housing Authority to
assist the City in increasing, improving and preserving its supply of affordable
housing. On August 1, 2012, the Successor Agency to the Tustin Community
Redevelopment Agency transferred the former Agency's housing assets to
the Housing Authority.
As a result of increased foreclosure activity, the City Council approved an
Affordable Housing Default Revolving Fund in order to cure homeowner
defaults under the City and Agency's Affordable Housing Program. The Fund
ensures the City has the opportunity to exercise its option rights to purchase
the home prior to the home being sold in a Trustee's Sale and the City losing
affordable housing supply. In 2012, the State of California Department of
Finance denied the transfer of redevelopment funds to the Default Revolving
Fund and the Fund was dissolved. The loss of a funding source will make it
difficult to purchase homes prior to foreclosure, resulting in the possible
reduction in the City's affordable housing supply.
• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES): The City
participates in the countywide efforts to minimize unwarranted discharge water
into the regional water system. The City requires the review and approval of a
Water Quality Management Plan for applicable projects to ensure no

• First Street Specific Plan: The First Street Specific Plan Amendments include
updates to parking, development, and use regulations; eliminates hopscotch
zoning pattern; and provide more consistency and applicability of regulations to
existing conditions. The City Council approved the First Street Specific Plan
Amendment in December 2012 and it went into effect in early January 2013.
Mills Act: Adopted by the California Legislature in 1976, the Mills Act is
legislation that provides for property tax relief on an eligible historic property if
the property owner agrees to maintain and preserve the property for a minimum
of ten years. The City participates in the Mills Act. Currently sixteen (16)
properties in Tustin participate in the Mills Act program.

PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT
The Public Safety Element identifies and addresses those natural or man -made characteristics which exist in or near the City
which represent a potential danger to the safety of the citizens, sites, structures, public facilities, and infrastructure. The
Element establishes policies to minimize the danger to residents, workers, and visitors and identifies actions needed to deal
with crisis situations. The following potential hazards are included in the Public Safety Element: flooding, seismically induced
conditions, including surface rupture, ground shaking, ground failure, and seiche; slope instability leading to mudslides and
landslides; subsidence and other geologic hazards; wildland /urban interface fires; evacuation routes, hazardous materials; law
enforcement; and aircraft overflights. The following is a listing of all Public Safety Element goals and implementation

Hazard Mitigation Plan: In 2009, as required by the Federal Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000, the City prepared a Hazard Mitigation Plan that
analyzed risks to community facilities and identified potential mitigation
strategies to protect those facilities. A seven year update to the Plan is now
required. A regional update to the Water System Hazard Mitigation Plan was
completed in 2012. An update of the Citywide Hazard Mitigation Plan will
commence in 2014.

• Emergency Exercise: Following staff refresher training in Emergency
Operations Center procedures, a functional Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) exercise was conducted in March of 2013. The exercise was focused
on the City's response during a major earthquake. Future annual exercises
will be conducted for a diverse pool of City staff to include various response
scenarios.
Emergency Plan: City staff completed a new Emergency Operations Plan in
January 2011. The Plan identifies City staff procedures and functional
responsibilities during an emergency. The Plan complies with the
requirements of the National Response Plan, the National Incident Command
System and the California Standardized Emergency Management
System. Plan maintenance is conducted periodically by the Police
Department to insure that the Plan remains current and relevant.
CERT: In cooperation with the Orange County Fire Authority, The Tustin
Police Department began offering a basic 24 -hour Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) training course in 2013. Two basic CERT courses
will be offered per year. The Police Department is also seeking to develop an
active City CERT Team and provide expanded training for Team members.
Emergency Management Coordinator: A full time Emergency
Management Coordinator position was established in the Police Department
in July of 2012. The position is responsible for City planning and

NOISE ELEMENT
The Noise Element is a comprehensive approach for including noise control in the planning process. It is a tool for achieving
and maintaining environmental noise levels compatible with land use. The Noise Element includes effective strategies to
reduce excessive noise in the community resulting from mobile sources such as traffic, aircraft, rail, and stationary sources,
such as construction activity and music. The following is a listing of all Noise Element goals and implementation measures:

GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
The Growth Management Element contains policies for the planning and provision of traffic improvements that are necessary
for orderly growth and development. The following is a listing of all Growth Management Element goals and implementation
measures:
GOAL 1: Reduce traffic congestion.
Growth Management Area Program: Under Measure M the City has
participated in inter-jurisdictional coordination by addressing infrastructure
concerns and by implementing needed improvement within the Growth
Management Area established by the City - County coordination Committee.
GMA projects include the Red Hill Avenue /SCRRA Railway grade separation
(planning stage), Seventeenth Street over crossing at the SR -55 Freeway
(completed), and intersection enhancements at Red Hill Avenue /Barranca
Parkway (construction stage). All of the above projects improve inter -
jurisdictional traffic flow and roadway capacity.
Under Renewed Measure M (M2), effective April 2, 2012, Growth Management
Areas have been eliminated and replaced with Traffic Forums. Under this
program, staff representatives from all Orange County cities are required to
meet in semi - annual roundtable sessions at which regional transportation issues
are presented and discussed. Under the Traffic Forums primary interest has
been placed on regional traffic signal synchronization under OCTA's Project P.
On December 7, 2010, the City Council approved the local Signal
Synchronization Plan (LSSP) in order to maintain eligibility for funding under
Measure M2. The City's LSSP conforms to OCTA's Regional Traffic Signal
Synchronization Master Plan.
