That, as part of the City's Community Park Master Plan, the City of Tustin is proposing to construct and maintain Veteran's Sports Park, a 31.5 acre sports park within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan; specifically, Planning Areas 1 E and 1J, and 2; B. That the proposed park is designed as a community park and will accommodate large group activities and offer a wide variety of community amenities; C. That the proposed park is consistent with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan; D. That the proposed park supports the following General Plan Land Use Element Goals and Policies: • Goal 1: Provide for a well-balanced land use pattern that accommodates existing and future needs for housing, commercial and industrial land, open space and community facilities and services, while maintaining a healthy, diversified economy adequate to provide future City services. • Policy 1.11: Where feasible, increase the amount and network of public and private open space and recreational facilities which will be adequate in size and location to be usable for active or passive recreation as well as for visual relief. E. MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Planning Area 1E and 1J permitted uses to include park related as adopted by Ordinance No. 1450 for SPA 2014-001. Planning Area 2 allows for Community Park as a permitted use; F. That a public meeting was held on said application on March 17, 2015, by the Zoning Administrator and continued to March 20, 2015; G. 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 Zoning Administrator Action 11-009 CP 2015-0011 2015-002 Exhibit A Page 2 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 MCAS, Tustin; H. That 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; and I. That the location, size and architectural features of the park will not impair the orderly and harmonious development of the area, the present or future development therein, the occupancy thereof or the community as a whole in that the following findings can be made: • The proposed project is consistent with the current overall development potential, allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The Urban Design Guidelines as set forth in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan including massing and siting of development has been incorporated into the design process of the sports park. • The Proposed Project would not cause aesthetic impacts that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. • The amenities and site layout of the park has been designed with passive area adjacent to residential uses to minimize noise and lighting effects of the sports park. All lights will be equipped w/shields to minimize potential glare to adjacent areas. In addition, the park has a 10:00 curfew in which all lights will be turned off and all activities will cease. These amenities, including landscape and hardscape theme and treatments, will create continuity and design quality of architecture and renovations. • The parking analysis included in the Tustin Legacy Master Community Park Master Plan determined that the proposed 450 parking spaces will accommodate the proposed sports uses. • Public Works Department has renewed potential traffic related to park use and has determined that there is adequate capacity to support the proposed use thereby creating conformity with the non-residential land use/trip budget. Zoning Administrator Action 11-009 CP 2015-00112015-002 Exhibit A Page 3 • Continuity and adequacy of all circulation systems, such as roads, access points, trails, pedestrian ways and other infrastructure systems needed to serve the project have been reviewed and found to be consistent with the impacts analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. • Pursuant to Sections 15162, 151631 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines no new effects would occur.
