ENVIRONMENTAL:
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 the
former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin. 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. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-43 approving an
addendum to the FEIS /EIR. The FEIS /EIR along with its addendum and supplement is a
program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On May 13, 2013,
the City Council adopted Resolution No. 13 -32 approving a second addendum to the
FEIS /EIR. The FEIS /EIR addendums and supplement are considered potential
environmental impacts associated with development on the former MCAS, Tustin.
An environmental checklist has been prepared for the project and concludes that the
proposed project does 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.
