AND COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDINGS AS PERMITTED
USES WITHIN PLANNING AREA 1 OF THE MCAS TUSTIN
SPECIFIC PLAN
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. 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.

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.

nMandatory Findings of
Significance
❑ I find that the proposed ,project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared,
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one
effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and
2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact' or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated."
An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
® I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects 1) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL

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.
The FEIS /EIR, Supplement, and Addendums analyzed the environmental
consequences of the Navy disposal and local community reuse of the Marine Corps Air
Station (MCAS) Tustin site per the Reuse Plan and the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan /Reuse Plan (Specific Plan). The CEQA analysis also analyzed the environmental
impacts of certain 'Implementation Actions" that the City of Tustin and City of Irvine
must take to implement the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan proposed, and the FEIS /EIR analyzed, a multi -year
development period for the planned urban reuse project (Tustin Legacy). When
individual discretionary activities within the Specific Plan are proposed, the lead agency
is required to examine the individual activities to determine if their effects were fully
analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. The agency can approve the activities as being within the
scope of the project covered by the FEIS /EIR. If the agency finds that pursuant to
Sections 15162, 15163, 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines no new effects
would occur, nor would a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects occur, then no supplemental or subsequent EIR is required.
Tustin Legacy is located in central Orange County and approximately 40 miles southeast
of downtown Los Angeles. Tustin Legacy is that portion of the former MCAS Tustin
within the City of Tustin corporate boundaries. Owned and operated by the Navy and
Marine Corps for nearly 60 years, approximately 1,585 gross acres of property at MCAS
Tustin were determined surplus to federal government needs, and MCAS Tustin was
officially closed in July 1999. The majority of the former MCAS Tustin lies within the
southern portion of the City of Tustin. The remaining approximately 73 acres lies within
the City of Irvine. Tustin Legacy is in close proximity to four major freeways: the Costa
Mesa (SR -55), Santa Ana (1 -5), Laguna (SR -133) and San Diego (1 -405). Tustin Legacy
is also served by the west leg of the Eastern Transportation Corridor (SR 261). The
major roadways bordering Tustin Legacy include Red Hill Avenue on the northwest,
Edinger Avenue and Irvine Center Drive on the northeast, Harvard Avenue on the
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan

southeast, and Barranca Parkway on'the southwest. Jamboree Road transects the
Property. John Wayne Airport is located approximately three miles to the south and a
Metrolink Commuter Rail Station is located immediately to the northeast providing daily
passenger service to employment centers in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San
Diego counties.
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. 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. The proposed Amendment is
consistent with the current overall development potential, intensity, and /or residential
capacity allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
An Environmental Analysis Checklist has been completed and it has been determined
that SPA 2014 -001 (Project or Proposed Project) is within the scope of the previously
approved FEIS /EIR and that pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations
Sections 15162 and 15168(c), no new effects could occur, and no new mitigation
measures would be required. Accordingly, no new environmental document is required
by CEQA.
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in
the Environmental Analysis Checklist.
AESTHETICS —Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to,
trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic
highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site
and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely
affect day or nighttime views in the area?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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

SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 3
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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
Specifically, the Proposed Project would not cause aesthetic impacts that were
not previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. The
Project proposes to permit Planning Area 2 uses within Planning Area 1. These
uses were previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. If adopted, the Proposed Project
would 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. The amendment would not change the future development condition that
was analyzed in the FEIS /EIR and there would be no change to development
intensity, building height restrictions, setbacks, signage, and other development
standards. There are no new or increased significant adverse project - speck or
cumulative impacts with regard to aesthetics and visual quality that would occur
as a result of the implementation of the Project. There is no new information
relative to aesthetics and visual quality that was not in existence at the time the
FEIS /EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Proposed Project and its implementation
are consistent with the FEIS /EIR. No new mitigation measures are required in
relation to impacts to aesthetics and visual quality.
The implementation of the Project would continue the visual change from the
abandoned military facilities onsite to residential, commercial, industrial and
institutional uses and development. This visual change, as part of the overall
visual change of the former base to the larger Tustin Legacy development was
not a significant impact in the FEIS /EIR. There are no designated scenic vistas in
the Project area; therefore, the Project would not result in a substantial adverse
effect on a scenic vista. The Project Site is also not located within the vicinity of a
designated state scenic highway. The Project would not change the conclusions
of the historical analysis of the historic blimp hangars from the FEIS /EIR relative
to visual changes since the Proposed Project would not affect these hangars.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts
or mitigation measures exist with regard to aesthetics. Specifically, there have
not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or
alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR were certified as complete.
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 4
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe
aesthetic impacts would result from the adoption and implementation of the
Project; therefore, no new or revised mitigation measures are required for
aesthetics and visual quality. No refinements related to the Project are necessary
to the FEIS /EIR mitigation measures and no new mitigation measures are
required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin City Council in the
FEIS /EIR, Addendums and Supplement; applicable measures will be
recommended as conditions of entitlement approvals for future development
within Planning Area 1.

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: in determining whether impacts to
agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies
may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation
as an optional model to use In assessing impacts on agriculture and
farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert! Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non - agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act
contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-
agricultural use?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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 Speck
Plan. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan

SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 5
There were no agricultural uses on the Site in the recent past. There are currently
no agricultural uses on the Site. The Proposed Project would not cause impacts
to agriculture and forest resources that were not previously analyzed in the
FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. There are no new or increased
significant adverse project - specific or cumulative impacts with regard to agricultural
resources that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the
Project. The impacts of the implementation of the Speck Plan are already
analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. There is no new information relative to agricultural
resources that was not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR was prepared. As a
result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to
agricultural resources.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to agricultural resources. Specifically, there
have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2)
substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is
undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information
of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or
alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: In certifying the FEIS /EIR, the Tustin City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations on January
16, 2001 concluding that impacts to agricultural resources on other areas of
MCAS Tustin were unavoidable (Resolution No. 00 -90). No mitigation is required.

III. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be
relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 6
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
or projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not cause impacts to
air quality that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and
Supplement. There would be no change to development intensity, building height
restrictions, setbacks, signage, other development standards or vehicle trips that
would lead to increased air emissions from vehicle trips. There are no new or
increased significant adverse project - specific or cumulative impacts with regard to
air quality that would occur as a result of the adoption and implementation of the
Project that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. There is no new
information relative to air quality that was not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR
was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with
and previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. As a
result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to air quality.
The Tustin City Council adopted Findings and a Statement of Overriding
Considerations for the FEIS /EIR on January 16, 2001 to address significant
unavoidable short -term (construction), long -term (operational), and cumulative air
quality impacts for the Specific Plan. The City also adopted mitigation measures to
reduce these unavoidable adverse impacts.
Consistent with the findings in the FEIS /EIR, implementation of future development
on the Project Site could result in significant unavoidable short-term construction
air quality impacts because it is part of the "project" analyzed in the FEIS /EIR for
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 7
which this finding was made. Construction activities associated with the Project
Site were previously addressed in the FEIS /EIR. There is no substantial new
information that shows there will be different or more significant short-term air
quality impacts on the environment from the Project than described in the
FEIS /EIR. There is no substantial new information that shows there will be
different or more significant long -term and /or cumulative impacts on the
environment as a result of the Project than described in the FEIS /EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to air quality. Specifically, there have not
been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial
importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives that
was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified
as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement; applicable measures
will be recommended as conditions of entitlement approvals for future
development of the site. However, the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement
also concluded that Speck Plan related operational air quality impacts were
significant and impossible to fully mitigate. A Statement of Overriding
Consideration for the FEIS /EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January
16, 2001.

IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations,
or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 8
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans,
policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited
to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or
migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or
migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery
sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
fl Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional
or state habitat conservation plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not cause impacts to
biological resources that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR,
Addendums, and Supplement. The Project proposes to develop the same areas as
proposed in the Specific Plan and previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. There are
no new or increased significant adverse project - specific or cumulative impacts with
regard to biological resources that would occur as a result of the adoption and
implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to biological
resources that was not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR was prepared.
Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with the FEIS /EIR. As
a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts on
biological resources. Based on current delineations of wetlands and jurisdictional
waters, the Project will not affect wetlands or jurisdictional waters. The impacts
resulting from the implementation of the Project, if any, would be those identified in
the FEIS /EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
waluauun vi "nvnun11crn01 unNa"o
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan

supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to biological resources. Specifically, there
have not been: (1) changes to the Project that'require major revisions of the
previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2)
substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is
undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information
of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or
alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES: -Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical
resource as defined in §15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site
or unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal
cemeteries?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not cause impacts to
cultural resources that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums,
and Supplement. The Project proposes to develop the same areas as proposed in
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 10
the Specific Plan and previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. The impacts of the
Specific Plan on cultural resources, including any that may be present on the
Project Site, were considered in the FEIS /EIR.
It is possible that previously unidentified buried archeological or paleontological
resources within the Project Site could be discovered during grading and other
construction activities. Consequently, future development is required to perform
construction monitoring for cultural and paleontological resources to reduce
potential impacts to these resources to a level of insignificance as found in the
FEIS /EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger -the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to cultural and paleontological resources.
Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major
revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the
availability of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect
or mitigation measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have
been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation /Moniforing Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement; applicable measures
will be recommended as conditions of entitlement approvals for future
development within Planning Area 1.

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: —Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects,
including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
• Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most
recent Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the
State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence
LVOIVOIIVII VI "IIVIIV11111G11LO11111�1"VW
SPA 2014 -001, WAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 11
of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
• Strong seismic ground shaking?
• Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction?
Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would
become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on-
or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -1 -B of the Uniform
Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of wastewater?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
Implementation of the Project would not cause any direct impacts to geology and
soils. The Project proposes to develop the same areas as proposed in the Specific
Plan and previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement.
There are no new or increased significant adverse project - specific or cumulative
impacts with regard to geology and soils that are identified as a result of the
adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to
geology and soils that was not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR as prepared.
Therefore, the Proposed Project and its implementation are consistent with the
FEIS /EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to
impacts to geology and soils.
The FEIS /EIR found that impacts to soils and geology resulting from
implementation of the Specific Plan would include non- seismic hazards (such as
local settlement, regional subsidence, expansive soils, slope instability, erosion,
and mudflows) and seismic hazards (such as surface fault displacement, high -
intensity ground shaking, ground failure and lurching, seismically induced
settlement, and flooding associated with dam failure). The FEIS /EIR concluded
that compliance with state and local regulations and standards, along with
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 12
established engineering procedures and techniques, would avoid unacceptable
risk or the creation of significant impacts related to geotechnical issues. No
substantial change is expected during implementation of the Project from the
analysis previously completed in the certified FEIS /EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to geology and soils. Specifically, there have
not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial
importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives that
was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified
as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement; applicable measures
will be recommended as conditions of entitlement approvals for future
development within Planning Area 1.

VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: —Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonable foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the
release of hazardous materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or
proposed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials
sites compiled pursuant to Government code Section 65962.5 and, as a
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 13
result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public
use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project
area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? .
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving wildland fires, Including where wildlands are adjacent to
urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildiands?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The entire MCAS Tustin site was reviewed for hazardous materials prior to start
of redevelopment activities. Federal regulations require the Navy to complete
remediation of hazardous materials prior to conveyance of properties to other
landowners.
The FEIS /EIR included a detailed discussion of the historic and then - current
hazardous material use and hazardous waste generation within the Specific Plan
area. The Navy is responsible for planning and executing environmental
restoration programs in response to releases of hazardous substances for MCAS
Tustin. The FEIS /EIR concluded that the implementation of the Specific Plan
would not have a significant environmental impact from the hazardous wastes,
substances, and materials on the property during construction or operation since
the Navy would implement various remedial actions pursuant to the Compliance
Programs that would remove, manage, or isolate potentially hazardous substances
in soils and groundwater. As identified in the FEIS /EIR, the Project Site is within
the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) and is subject to
height restrictions. The Proposed Project does not propose changes to the 100 -
foot height limitation included in the Specific Plan. The Project Site is not located in
a wildland fire hazard area.

Implementation of the Project will not cause any direct impacts to hazards and
hazardous materials. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -
specific or cumulative impacts with regards to hazards and hazardous materials
that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project.
There is no new information relative to hazards and hazardous materials that was
not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and
its implementation are consistent with the FEIS /EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts from hazards and hazardous
materials.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to hazards and hazardous materials.
Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major
revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the
availability of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect
or mitigation measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have
been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified as complete,
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. No mitigation is required.

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: - Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially
with groundwater recharge, such that there would be a net deficit In
aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g.,
the production rate of pre- existing nearby wells would drop to a level

which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which
permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a
manner which would result in flooding on- or off -site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or
substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner,
which would result in flooding on- or off -site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of
existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide
substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
Q Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a
federal Flood hazard Boundary of Flood Insurance Rate Map or other

h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures, which would
impede or redirect flood flows?
Q Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee
or dam?
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
k) Potentially impact stormwater runoff from construction activities?
1) Potentially impact stormwater runoff from post - construction activities?
m) Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater pollutants from areas
of material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment
maintenance (including washing), waste handling, hazardous materials
handling or storage, delivery areas, loading docks or other outdoor
work areas?
n) Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater to affect the beneficial
uses of the receiving waters?
o) Create the potential for significant changes in the flow velocity or
volume of stormwater runoff to cause environmental harm?
p) Create significant increases in erosion of the project site or surrounding
areas?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would amend
Section 33.2 (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
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 16
buildings as permitted uses within Planning Area 1 of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not cause impacts to
hydrology and water quality. There would be no change to development intensity,
building height restrictions, setbacks, signage, and other development standards.
There are no new or increased significant adverse project - specific or cumulative
impacts with regard to hydrology /water quality that are identified as a result of the
adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to
hydrology /water quality that was not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR was
prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with the
FEIS /EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to
impacts to hydrology /water quality.
As concluded in the FEIS /EIR, preparation of a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) for future development projects on the Project sites in compliance with all
applicable regulatory standards would reduce water quality impacts from
development activities to a level of insignificance. The Project would not result in
new or substantially more severe impacts to water quality than what was
previously identified in the FEIS /EIR. No increase in development intensity is
proposed as part of the Project. Future development will be required to comply
with Specific Plan development standards, including FAR and landscaping and
would require preparation of a WQMP. The Proposed Project would not result in
an increase of impervious surface area from the amount that was previously
analyzed in the Specific Plan. The Project proposes no change to the drainage
pattern and water management systems previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. The
drainage pattern and water management systems in the Project Site vicinity would
remain consistent with the Tustin legacy Master Drainage Plan. Therefore, the
analysis and conclusions in the FEIS /EIR relative to impacts related to
groundwater supply, groundwater levels, or local recharge have not changed. In
addition, no change to the backbone drainage system is proposed. Therefore, no
new or more severe impacts related to drainage patterns, drainage facilities, and
potential flooding would result from the Project.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to hydrology and water quality. Specifically,
there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the

a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an
agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited, to
the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning
ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?

The SPA does not substantively change the Specific Plan and does not increase
development intensities or introduce incompatible uses. Implementation of the
Project would not physically divide any Specific Plan land use, conflict with the
Specific Plan, -or conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan.

There are no known mineral resources located at the site. The Project would not
cause new impacts to mineral resources that were not previously analyzed in the
FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. There are no new or increased
significant adverse project- specific or cumulative impacts with regard to mineral
resources that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the

XI. NOISE: Would the project:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of
standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or
applicable standards of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne
vibration or ground borne noise levels?
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 20
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in
the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public
use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive
noise levels?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The ambient noise environment on the site is influenced by the surrounding
roadways, existing uses, a rail line located north of Edinger Avenue, and
construction and remediation activities on surrounding parcels.
Implementation of the Project will not cause any direct impacts to noise. There
would be no change to development intensity, traffic generation building height
restrictions, setbacks, signage, and other development standards. No new or
increased significant adverse project- specific or cumulative impacts with regard to
noise are identified as a result of the approval and implementation of the Project.
There is no new information relative to noise that was not in existence at the time
the FEIS /EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Proposed Project and its
implementation are consistent with the FEIS /EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to noise.
The Project would not modify the noise - related land use distribution within the
Tustin Legacy site. All proposed land uses were included in the Specific Plan.
Consequently, long -term traffic- related noise impacts associated with
implementation of the Project have previously been identified and analyzed in the
FEIS /EIR. Short -term noise impacts were also analyzed in the previously certified
FEIS /EIR; implementation of any future project would be required to comply with
applicable adopted mitigation measures and state and local regulations and
standards, along with established engineering procedures and techniques, thus
avoiding significant short-term construction- related noise impacts.

XII. POPULATION & HOUSING: Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for
example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?

Plan. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the WAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not cause impacts to
public services. There would be no change to development intensity, which
would lead to an increased demand for public services. There are no new or
increased significant adverse project - specific or cumulative impacts with regard
to public services and facilities that are identified as a result of the adoption and
implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to public
services and facilities that was not in existence at the time the FEIS /EIR was
prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with the
FEIS /EIR. As a result, no new mitigation. measures are required in relation to
impacts to public services and facilities.
Fire Protection
Fire protection for the Tustin Legacy Site was discussed and analyzed in the
FEIS /EIR. The Project results in no changes to that previous analysis, and no
increased or new environmental effects on the environment from those
previously analyzed in the FEWEIR.
Implementation of any future project will require compliance with existing OCFA
regulations regarding construction materials and methods, emergency access,
water mains, fire flow, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems, building setbacks, and
other relevant regulations. Adherence to these regulations will reduce the risk of
uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire protection
services to the Site. Pursuant to the FEIS /EIR, the existing fire stations in the
Project vicinity with additional fire fighting personnel and equipment will meet the
demands created by the Project and other development within Tustin Legacy. No
new or expanded facilities were identified as being required and therefore no
physical impacts were identified.
Police Protection
Police protection for the project site was discussed and analyzed in the
FEIS /EIR. The Project results in no changes to that previous analysis, and no
increased or new environmental effects on the environment from .those
previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. Implementation of the Project would not
increase the need for police protection services in addition to what was
previously anticipated in the FEIS /EIR.
Schools
The Project will not directly result in any residential development. Therefore, the
Project does not generate K -12 students and there is no impact to K -12 schools.
Future developers would be required to pay school fees for public uses on the
Tustin Legacy site consistent with Senate Bill (SB) 50 of 1998.
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 24
Parks
SPA 2014 -001 would add park related as a permitted use in Planning Area 1 of
the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and would have potentially beneficial impacts by
providing additional opportunities for parkland. Parks for the project site were
discussed and analyzed in the FEIS /EIR. The Project results in no changes to
that previous analysis, and no increased or new environmental effects on the
environment from those previously analyzed in the FEIS /EIR.
Other Public Facilities
The FEIS/EIR concluded that public facilities would be provided according to a
phasing plan to meet projected needs as development of the Specific Plan
proceeded, The Project is administrative only and would not modify conditions or
proposed development which was already analyzed in the previously approved
FEIS /EIR; therefore, no substantial change is expected.
The FEIS /EIR does identify that the City will require certain conditions for individual
future development projects (identified as Implementation Measures on pages 4-
67 through 4 -70) to be complied with as appropriate. Proposed SPA 2014 -001 will
result in no changes to the environmental impacts previously evaluated by the
FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. There is no possibility that the activity in
question may have a significant effect on the environment.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to recreation. Specifically, there have not
been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial
importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives that
was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified
as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement; applicable measures
will be conditions of entitlement approvals for future development within Planning
Area 1.

XIV. RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and
regional parks or other recreational facilities, such that substantial
physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require . the
construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an
adverse physical effect on the environment?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not result in an
increase of development intensity or change in uses that would result in increased
use of existing parks or recreational facilities. There are no new or increased
significant adverse project - specific or cumulative impacts with regard to recreation
that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project.
There is no new information relative to recreation that was not in existence at the
time the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement was prepared. As a result, no
new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to recreation.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or

substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of

XV. TRANSPORTATIONITRAFFIC: Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing
traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial
increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio
on roads, or congestion at intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for designated
roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in
traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety
risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp
curves or dangerous intersections) or Incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
Q Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting
. alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis, SPA 2014 -001 would 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
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan

Plan. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential he
by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not result in an
increase of development intensity or change in uses, building height restrictions,
setbacks, signage, and other development standards.
There are no net changes to the land use intensity or density" and resulting trip
generation. There are no new or increased significant adverse project - speck or
cumulative impacts with regard to transportation and traffic that are identified as a
result of the adoption and implementation of the Project that were not previously
analyzed in the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement The future development
of an additional 7.5 acres of parkland within Planning Area 1 that would be
facilitated by the Proposed Project is expected to generate a maximum of 242
average daily trips (ADT) which is considered negligible and would not have any
impacts to traffic and transportation.
Based on this analysis, there are no new or increased significant adverse project -
specific or cumulative impacts with regard to traffic and transportation that are
identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no
new information relative to traffic and transportation that was not in existence at
the time the FEIS /EIR was prepared. As a result, no new mitigation measures are
required in relation to impacts to traffic and transportation.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to recreation. Specifically, there have not
been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial
importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives that
was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS /EIR was certified
as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. Speck mitigation measures were adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement.
However, the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement, also concluded that
Speck Plan related traffic impacts were significant and impossible to fully mitigate.
A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and
Supplement, was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.
Applicable measures will be conditions of entitlement approvals for future
development within Planning Area 1. Future projects will be evaluated to ensure
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 28
consistency with this EIS /EIR and subsequent studies to ensure there are no new
impacts.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional
Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction
of which could cause significant environmental effects?
d) Require or result In the construction of new storm water drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which
could cause significant environmental effects?
e) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from
existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded
entitlements needed?
f) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which
serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve
the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing
commitments?
g) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to
accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs?
h) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to
solid waste?
I) Would the project include a new or retrofitted storm water treatment
control Best Management Practice (BMP), (e.g. water quality treatment
basin, constructed treatment wetlands), the operation of which could
result in significant environmental effects (e.g. increased vectors and
odors)?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would amend

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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature and would not result in an
increase of development intensity or change in uses cause any direct impacts to
utilities and service systems. There are no new or increased significant adverse
project - specific or cumulative impacts with regard to utilities /services systems that
are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. There
is no new information relative to utilities and service systems that was not in
existence at the time the FEIS /EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its
implementation are consistent with the FEIS /EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to utilities and service systems.
The FEIS /EIR identifies that the City will require certain conditions for future
individual development projects identified as "Mitigation" or "Implementation
Measures" (pages 4-43 through 4-46) to be complied with as appropriate.
Proposed SPA 2014 -001 will result in no substantial changes to the. environmental
impacts previously evaluated by the FEIS /EIR, Addendums, and Supplement.
There is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on
the environment.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to utilities and service systems. Specifically,
there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2)
substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is
undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information
of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or
alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR was certified as complete.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history
or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that
the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in
connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current
projects, and the effects of probable future projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or
indirectly?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. SPA 2014 -001 would 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. The proposed amendment would not increase the overall development
potential allowed by the WAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project is administrative in nature. There would be no change to
development intensity, building height restrictions, setbacks, signage, and other
development standards. The FEIS /EIR previously considered all environmental
impacts associated with the implementation of the Speck Plan, including
mandatory findings of significance associated with the implementation of the
Project. The Project would not cause unmitigated environmental effects that were
not already examined in the FEIS /EIR; there are no new mitigation measures
LVOIYO11411 VI "IIVIIVIIIIIG111=I ....F.V..
SPA 2014 -001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Page 31
required; and there are no new significant adverse project - speck or cumulative
impacts in any environmental areas that were identified, nor would any project -
specific or cumulative impacts in any environmental areas be made worse as a
result of the Project. All feasible mitigation measures identified in the FEIS /EIR will
be incorporated into subsequent development project approvals.
Further, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that
would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent EIR to evaluate Project impacts or
mitigation measures exist with regard to environmental impacts. Specifically, there
have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS /EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2)
substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is
undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS /EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or
alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS /EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The - FEIS /EIR previously considered all
environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Specific Plan.
Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS /EIR
and would be included in future development within Planning Area 1, as applicable.

CONCLUSION
The above analysis concludes that all of the proposed projects effects were previously
examined in the FEIS /EIR, Supplement, and Addendums, 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. A
Mitigation and Monitoring and Reporting Program and Findings of Overriding
Considerations were adopted for the FEIS /EIR on January 16, 2001, and shall apply to
future development projects, as applicable.
