The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. That the City of Tustin is proposing a text amendment to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed amendment will not substantially alter the current adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, but will amend Section 3.3.2 (Planning Area 1) of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin Specific Plan district regulations by adding uses such as ball fields, courts, playgrounds and other recreation facilities, private recreational facilities, public park, sports field lighting, nature center, and other civic and community center buildings as permitted uses within Planning Area 1 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Planning Area 1 is generally located between Red Hill Avenue and Armstrong Avenue and between Warner Avenue and Valencia Avenue, and along Lansdowne Road. B. That the proposed Specific Plan Amendment will allow park related uses within Planning Area 1 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan to accommodate a portion of the City's Community Park Master Plan, which encompasses 31.5 acres. C. That the proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the current overall development potential, intensity, and /or residential capacity allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said application on October 14, 2014, by the Planning Commission. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4269 recommending that the Tustin City Council approve SPA 2014 -001 by adopting Ordinance No. 1450. Ordinance No. 1450 Page 1 of 4 E. That on November 4, 2014, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held before the City Council concerning SPA 2014 -001 (Ordinance No. 1450). F. That 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 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 and, on May 13, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 13 -32 approving a Second Addendum to the FEIS /EIR. The FEIS /EIR along with its Addendums and Supplement is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS /EIR, Addendums and Supplement considered the potential environmental impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin. G. An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed project that concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from approval of the project (Exhibit A). The Environmental Analysis Checklist concludes that all of the proposed project's effects were previously examined in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums and Supplement, that no new effects would occur, that no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects would occur, that no new mitigation measures would be required, that no applicable mitigation measures previously not found to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and that there are no new mitigation measures or alternatives applicable to the project that would substantially reduce effects of the project that have not been considered and adopted. H. That many of the proposed additional permitted uses for Planning Area 1, such as ball fields, courts, playgrounds, lighted fields and buildings for civic, cultural and community centers are often associated with existing permitted uses in Planning Area 1, including public school, community college, and private school. SPA 2014 -001 is consistent with the Tustin General Plan. The Land Use Element includes the following City goals and policies for the long -term growth, development, and revitalization of Tustin, including the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan area. 1. Achieve balanced development. 2. Ensure that compatible and complementary development occurs. 3. Improve city -wide urban design. 4. Promote economic expansion and diversification. Ordinance No. 1450 Page 2 of 4 5. Implement a reuse plan for MCAS Tustin which maximizes the appeal of the site as a mixed -use, master - planned development. SECTION 2. The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan is hereby amended to read as provided in Exhibit B. SECTION 3. Severability If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Tustin hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
