THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED NORTH OF BARRANCA PARKWAY, EAST OF RED HILL AVENUE, WEST OF (FUTURE) ARMSTRONG AVENUE AND SOUTH OF (FUTURE) WARNER AVENUE. GENERAL PLAN: MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN ZONING: MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA), AN ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST WAS PREPARED FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT THAT CONCLUDED NO ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS WOULD OCCUR FROM APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT. PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 151629 151639 151649 AND 15183 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES NO NEW EFFECTS WOULD OCCUR REQUEST: TO CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN LINEAR PARK WITHIN THE MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN Zoning Administrator April 23, 2015 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: That the Zoning Administrator adopt Zoning Administrator Action (ZAA) No. 15-003 approving Concept Plan 2015-002 and Design Review 2015-001 for Tustin Legacy Linear Park within Neighborhood E, Planning Area 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. APPROVAL AUTHORITY: In accordance with MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.7 (Neighborhood E, Planning Areas 9, 103 11, 12) of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan district regulations, recreation uses such as public or private parks, and cafes are permitted uses. Section 4.2.2 of the MCAS Tustin SP requires a concept plan to be prepared and submitted or updated for Zoning Administrator approval concurrent with the submission of a new development proposal. Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9272, Design Review is required for review of building design, site planning and site development. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The MCAS Tustin was decommissioned in the 1990s and the facility is still largely underdeveloped land with the two aircraft hangars, base related structures, landing strips, and tarmac areas. Currently, the project site for Tustin Legacy Detention Basin/Linear Park on the corner of Red Hill Avenue and Barranca Parkway is bare and empty of vegetation. In 2007, the Tustin Legacy Detention Basin was required and approved as part of the tract map for that portion of the Tustin Legacy development near the corner of Barranca Parkway/Red Hill Avenue. The environmental documents were approved along with tract map approval. The City has completed conceptual design and preliminary engineering, and has rough graded the basin. Inlet and outlet structures have been constructed and the basin is fully functional in its current temporary status. Design and construction of the Tustin Legacy Detention Basin/Linear Park will be overseen by the City of Tustin. Under this proposal the basin/park will be designed as a naturalized setting using native and naturalized plants. Upon completion of the project, the Public Works Field Services Division will maintain and operate the park and ensure that the stormwater detention basin functions as designed. Project Description The 1,600 acres of the former Tustin MCAS is in the process of development for a planned community of parks, schools, homes and businesses. The City of Tustin is Zoning Administrator April 23, 2015 Page 3 proposing to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and stormwater detention basin (Project). The Project is located in Neighborhood E of Planning Areas 9 through 12 (see Figure 1) and consists of a Linear Park which will diagonally bisect the community. Neighborhood PA 9-12 Figure 1 — Linear Park Planning Area In the southwest corner of the park will be the sculpted stormwater detention basin, vegetated with native and naturalized plants and a botanic walk which emphasizes water wise planting. The park will be designed as somewhat "organic" intended to encourage exploration of the outdoor environment and appreciation of our native plants. The growth habitat and subtle seasonal change of native plants will be the underlying beauty of this section of the park. The proposed park will provide public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a cafe/restroom building. When the park is opened to the public, kiosks will be placed strategically in the park to explain the significance of the detention basin and the intrinsic quality of plants to act as water treatment processes. Additional amenities and improvements include landscaping and hardscape improvements to the detention basin (with planting and irrigation), a resin trail with a decomposed granite shoulder; picnic tables; trash receptacles; decorative concrete and seatwalls at the entry nodes; benches; trash receptacles; a concrete amphitheater a cafe/restroom building and parking lot (Figure 2).

Zoning Administrator April 23, 2015 Page 4 SITE FUMIUSEs *HTING Figure 2 — Tustin Linear Park Concept Plan ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS: Tom. Legacy Bam an Lire Paris City of Tustin 'k2C, 21715 The 26 acre Linear Park/Detention Basin proposal is consistent with the City Council approved MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed stormwater detention basin will use landscaping and its capacity to aid in the treatment of runoff from nuisance flows and small storms and provide flood flow attenuation. This will have the effect of reducing runoff volumes associated with these smaller storms, and to this extent, will help mitigate the effects of runoff on hydro -modification of downstream receiving waters. This basin, which is already rough graded, is required to remain in place until ultimate downstream channel improvements are constructed. The proposed constructed detention basin will use natural processes to remove these contaminants from urban runoff. The detention basin is also planned to capture sediment and trash from first flush rain events. Plants such as bulrush and cattails and the beneficial bacteria within the soils will provide natural cleanup of pollutants that would otherwise flow to the Newport Bay and the ocean. Secondary benefits include habitat creation and enhancement, aesthetics, recreation, and education. Parking for the park was analyzed in the conceptual design and engineering review. It was determined based on analysis of each of the proposed passive park uses, that Zoning Administrator April 23, 2015 Page 5 approximately 136 parking stalls would provide adequate parking for the park. Further, the Public Works Traffic Engineering Division has determined that the development for the park would not result in any new traffic impacts. Monumentation is proposed at the corner of Barranca Parkway and Red Hill Avenue (Figure 3). This will include the signature Legacy arches, letters (Tustin Legacy) and blue accent piece with illumination. These monuments are consistent with Legacy identification that is located throughout the Legacy project. Additional wayfinding and kiosk signs will be located throughout the Project site to provide direction to park users. Figure 3 - Monumentation A facilities storage and cafe building (approximately 2,700 sq ft) is proposed to be located north of the parking lot at the south east end of the park. Access to the building will be off of Barranca Parkway. The building is in the conceptual design phase and is proposed to house facilities storage, bike rental room and a small cafe tenant space with indoor and outdoor seating (Attachment 1). General Plan Consistency The site has a General Plan Land Use designation of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, which includes park facilities as an acceptable use within the designation. Therefore, the Linear Park/Detention Basin use is consistent with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan General Plan Land Use Element designation. In addition, 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. Zoning Administrator April 23, 2015 Page 6 Findings 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 park. • The Proposed Project would not cause aesthetic impacts that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EI R, Addendums, and Supplement. • The amenities and site layout of the park has been designed to serve the surrounding community as a detention basin, community facilities storage and cafe building and park which is part of a larger green belt potentially connecting the Metrolink station. Trails and paths will have native grasses and shrubs to enhance the experience of the users and provide linkages between the development and surrounding uses. • The proposed park and stormwater detention basin is consistent with the current overall development potential, intensity, and/or residential capacity allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. • Public Works Department has reviewed potential traffic related to park use and has determined that there is adequate capacity to support the proposed use. • Monuments and additional wayfinding and kiosk signs will be located throughout the Project site and are consistent with identification for the Legacy project. • Continuity and adequacy of all circulation systems, such as roads, access points, trails, pedestrian ways, parking and other infrastructure systems needed to serve the project pursuant to Concept Plan review criteria have been reviewed and found to be consistent with the integrity of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. • Pursuant to Sections 15162, 15163, 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines no new effects would occur. ENVIRONMENTAL: On January 16, 2001, the City 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 Zoning Administrator April 23, 2015 Page 7 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 MCAS, Tustin. An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed project that concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from approval of the project (Attached to ZAA 15-003). The Environmental Analysis Checklist concludes that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment since the proposed project would not increase the overall development potential or residential capacity currently allowed by the adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and that the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement are sufficient for the proposed project. Furthermore, the park use for Planning Areas 9, 101 11, and 12, is permitted in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the checklist should be considered and found to be complete and adequate prior to approving the project as proposed.

No Substantial New More Change From Significant Severe Previous Impact Impacts Analysis SECTION D EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS CONCEPT PLAN 2015-002 AND DESIGN REVIEW 2015-001 MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN LINEAR PARK BACKGROUND 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. 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 (I-5), Laguna (SR -133) and San Diego (I-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, Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 2 Edinger Avenue on the northeast, Harvard Avenue on the 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. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The 1,600 acres of the former Tustin MCAS is in the process of development for a planned community of parks, schools, homes and businesses. Linear Park will diagonally bisect the community. In the southwest corner of the will be the sculpted stormwater detention basin, vegetated with native and naturalized plants and a botanic walk which emphasizes water wise planting. The City of Tustin is proposing to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The park will be designed as somewhat "organic" intended to encourage exploration of the outdoor environment and appreciation of our native plants. The growth habitat and subtle seasonal change of native plants will be the underlying beauty of this section of the park. The proposed park will provide public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. When the park is opened to the public, kiosks will be placed strategically in the park to explain the significance of the detention basin and the intrinsic quality of plants to act as water treatment processes. Additional amenities and improvements include landscaping and hardscape improvements to the detention basin (with planting and irrigation), a resin trail with a decomposed granite shoulder; picnic tables; trash receptacles; decorative concrete and seatwalls at the entry nodes; benches; trash receptacles; a concrete amphitheater a community facilities storage and cafe building and parking lot. The proposed park and public detention basin is consistent with the current overall development potential, intensity, and/or residential capacity allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. In accordance with MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.7 (Neighborhood E, Planning Areas 9, 10, 11, 12) of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan district regulations, recreation uses such as public or private parks, and cafes are permitted uses. Section 4.2.2 of the MCAS Tustin SP requires a concept plan to be prepared and submitted or updated for Zoning Administrator approval concurrent with the submission of a new development proposal. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS An Environmental Analysis Checklist has been completed and it has been determined that CP 2015-002 and DR 2015-001 (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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 3 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. I. 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. The Proposed Project would not cause aesthetic impacts that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. The Project proposes construction and maintenance of a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. These uses were previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. If approved, the Proposed Project would allow development of Linear Park within these planning areas of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan pursuant to the City's Community Park Master Plan. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific 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 park use would continue the visual change from the abandoned military facilities onsite to a park/detention basin use. The new park will provide beneficial impacts through development and improvement of the existing vacant land to benefit the community. Therefore, 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. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 4 Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe aesthetic impacts would result from the 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.

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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 5 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. The Project proposal is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. There are currently no agricultural uses on the Site and there were no agricultural uses on the Site in the recent past. The original site was operated by the Department of the Navy and the Marine Corps as part of the air station base. The MCAS Tustin was decommissioned in the 1990s and the facility is still largely underdeveloped land with the two aircraft hangars, base related structures, landing strips, and tarmac areas. Currently the site of the detention basin on the corner of Red Hill Avenue and Barranca Parkway is bare and empty of vegetation. Under this proposal the basin will be designed as a naturalized setting using native and naturalized plants. The facilities and cafe building is designed as a low -profile structure which will serve park users. 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 implementation of the Project. The impacts of the implementation of the Specific 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 6 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.

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: 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. The Proposed Project was analyzed in the FEIS/EIR within the planned activities at Tustin Legacy. It was determined that the park use impacts would not cause impacts to air quality 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 air quality that would occur as a result of the 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, Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 7 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 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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 Specific 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.

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? 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? f) 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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. In the area of the southern inlet that collects water from off-site a small wetlands will be created with bulrush and cattail. Grasses and wildflowers will be planted in the rest of the basin which will be selected on their ability to tolerate periodic flooding. Trees will be planted above the basin to provide habitat for native bird Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 9 species. The selection of trees to be planted include; oaks, cedars, sycamores, alders, and pines. The wetlands will provide a habitat for reptiles, amphibians and small mammals which will attract larger species such as herons, egrets, osprey, and hawks. As part of a larger parks project, the detention basin will become the ecosystem for a variety of wildlife. The project has the additional benefit of preventing pollutants from reaching the Newport Bay and the Newport Beach. Both are popular destinations for the local communities. The inlets into and out of the detention basin have trash grates to capture debris as the water flows in and out of the basin. After a rain event, crews will inspect the basin and remove any trash and debris collected by the system. By assisting in the removal of trash and harmful pollutants, the basin will aid in the efforts to keep the beach clean. The Proposed Project 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, City's Community Park Master 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 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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.

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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The Proposed Project 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 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures with regard to cultural and paleontological resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 11 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 conditioned as part of entitlement approval.

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 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 12 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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. 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 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 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 13 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 made as conditions of entitlement approval.

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 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 14 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 wildlands? No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. 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. Further, as set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring report, prior to issuance of building permits, the City shall work closely with OCFA to ensure that adequate fire protection measures are implemented in the project and eliminate any negative impacts on fire protection services (Mitigation Measures LU2(o)(p)). - This project will be treating stormwater that flows into three water bodies which have been included on the 303(d) list of impaired water bodies, Peters Canyon Channel, Upper Newport Bay and Lower Newport Bay. In the 2006 report, Peters Canyon Channel has been listed for DDT and Toxaphene. Upper and Lower Newport Bay have been listed for Chlordane, Copper, DDT, Metals, PCBs, and Sediment. TMDLs have been or are in the process of being established for these impairments. The proposed detention basin will use landscaping and its capacity to aid in the treatment of runoff from nuisance flows and small storms and provide flood flow attenuation. This will have the effect of reducing runoff volumes associated with these smaller storms, and to this extent, will help mitigate the effects of runoff on hydro -modification of downstream receiving waters. The proposed constructed detention basin will use natural processes to remove these contaminants from urban runoff. 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 regard to hazards and hazardous materials that are identified as a result of the 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. 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 15 Proposed Project is well within the 100 -foot height limitation included in the Specific Plan. The Project Site is not located in a wildland fire hazard area. The project site is not located within the 100 -year flood hazard areas (Zone X, Map No. 06059CO279J). The project will not impair or interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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.

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? f) 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 flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or redirect flood flows? i) 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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 17 p) Create significant increases in erosion of the project site or surrounding areas? No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The proposed detention basin will use landscaping and its capacity to aid in the treatment of runoff from nuisance flows and small storms and provide flood flow attenuation. This will have the effect of reducing runoff volumes associated with these smaller storms, and to this extent, will help mitigate the effects of runoff on hydro -modification of downstream receiving waters. The assessment of expected stormwater/urban runoff pollutants for the project is based on historic and proposed land uses. Based on guidance provided in the Orange County DAMP, the expected pollutants are pathogens, heavy metals, nutrients, pesticides, sediments, trash and debris, oil and grease, toxic organic compounds and oxygen demanding substances. All of these pollutants have been identified as being generated by streets, and are known to be existing in the watershed. The proposed constructed detention basin will use natural processes to remove these contaminants from urban runoff. The detention basin is also planned to capture sediment and trash from first flush rain events. Plants such as bulrush and cattails and the beneficial bacteria within the soils will provide natural cleanup of pollutants that would otherwise flow to the Newport Bay and the ocean. Secondary benefits include habitat creation and enhancement, aesthetics, recreation, and education. The project has the additional benefit of preventing pollutants from reaching the Newport Bay and the Newport Beach. Both are popular destinations for the local communities. The inlets into and out of the detention basin have trash grates to capture debris as the water flows in and out of the basin. After a rain event, crews will inspect the basin and remove any trash and debris collected by the system. By assisting in the removal of trash and harmful pollutants, the basin will aid in the efforts to keep the beach clean and may draw many annual visitors. The Proposed Project would not cause negative impacts to hydrology and water quality. 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 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. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 18 As concluded in the FEIS/EIR, preparation of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) for the Project site 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. 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures with regard to hydrology and water 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 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 made conditions of entitlement approval for the Project.

LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project: 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? c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The Linear Park will diagonally bisect the community. In the southwest corner of the park will be the sculpted stormwater detention basin, vegetated with native and naturalized plants and a botanic walk which emphasizes water wise planting. The feature will be designed as somewhat "organic" intended to encourage exploration of the outdoor environment and appreciation of our native plants. The growth habitat and subtle seasonal change of native plants will be the underlying beauty of this section of the park. When the park is opened to the public, kiosks will be placed strategically in the park to explain the significance of the detention basin and the intrinsic quality of plants to act as water treatment processes. Although the Tustin Legacy Detention Basin will serve as a BMP during storm events, it will serve the surrounding community and be part of a larger green belt, in an area dominated by industries and commercial businesses. This Linear Park will be the heart of the community, unifying the residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Trails and paths will have native grasses and shrubs to enhance the experience of the users. The paths will be composed of decomposed granite to minimize impervious areas. The ecological zone around the basin will contain amenity areas for passive uses such as seating and meeting spaces for the adjacent office complex. This feature will be coordinated with the adjacent office sites and provide a welcome respite from the daily grind. These features are anticipated to bring the community together through a passive park connection. The Proposed Project would not cause negative impacts to land use and planning. 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 land use and planning that are identified as a result of the implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to land use and planning that was not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 20 implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to land use planning. The Proposed Project is consistent with 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. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures with regard to land use and planning. 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. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. Mitigation measures require the City to provide evidence of compliance with all requirements and standards of the City of Tustin City Code; applicable measures will be required prior to building permit issuance.

MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a value to the region and the residents of the state? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 21 No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. 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 implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to mineral 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 to mineral resources. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures with regard to mineral resources.

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? Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 22 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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. Noise will be generated during project construction. The ambient noise environment on the site is influenced by the surrounding roadways, existing uses. After project completion, the project will not increase the ambient noise level. Implementation of the Project will not cause any direct impacts to noise. The Project site is located next to (existing and future) residential, educational and institutional uses to the west, east and south. The design where passive uses and parking lot are located closest to residential uses was intentional to minimize noise and provide better accessibility to the public park uses within the 26 acre site. The project is not located within two miles of airports. 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. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 23 Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures with regard to noise. 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. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. New development within the reuse area shall ensure that interior and exterior noise levels do not exceed those prescribed by state requirements and local City ordinances and general plans. Plans demonstrating noise regulation conformity shall be submitted for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits (Measure N-3).

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? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 24 The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to housing and any associated population. There is no new information relative to population and housing 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 population and housing. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures with regard to population and housing. 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.

PUBLIC SERVICES a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services: No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 25 The Proposed Project would require maintenance and operation management of the park. There would be no substantial 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 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 FEIS/EIR. Implementation of the Project requires 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. The City shall ensure that adequate fire protection measures are implemented in the Project, prior to issuance of a building permit (Mitigation Measure (p)). 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. The City and Tustin Police Department will ensure that adequate security precautions are implemented in the project (Mitigation Measure (s)). However, Tustin Police Department has reviewed the Proposed Plan and it is anticipated that implementation of the Project would not increase the need for police protection services in addition to what was previously anticipated in the FEIS/EIR. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 26 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. Therefore, there would not be a requirement to pay school fees for public uses on the Tustin Legacy site consistent with Senate Bill (SB) 50 of 1998. Pa rkq The Project is a permitted use in Neighborhood E, Planning Areas 9, 10, 11, 12 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 conceptual Project plans are consistent with the City of Tustin Park Code and construction plans will be reviewed for further compliance as set forth in Mitigation Measure (u). 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 Proposed Project would not cause impacts to hydrology and water quality. 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 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. 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 would not modify conditions or proposed development which was already analyzed in the previously approved FEIS/EIR; therefore, no substantial change is expected. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 27 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. Mitigation measures (m) through (x). No further mitigation is required.

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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The Proposed Project 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 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 28 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.

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC: 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? f) 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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 29 detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. There are no net changes to the land use intensity or density and resulting trip generation then what was analyzed previously. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to transportation and traffic that are identified as a result of the implementation of the Project that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. 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 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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: Specific 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 Specific 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.

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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The Proposed Project 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 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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 31 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. The Proposed Project 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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. 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.

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 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 32 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. The Proposed Project is to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a community facilities storage and cafe building. The FEIS/EIR previously considered all environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Specific 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 required; and there are no new significant adverse project -specific 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 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent EIR to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures 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. Evaluation of Environmental Impacts CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Page 33 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 as conditions of approval of the project.

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. ATTACHMENT 3 ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION 15-003 CONCEPT PLAN 2015-002 AND DESIGN REVIEW 2015-001 TUSTIN LEGACY LINEAR PARK The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows: A. That, as part of the City's MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, the City of Tustin is proposing to construct and maintain Linear Park, a 26 acre park and stormwater detention basin (Project) within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan; specifically, Neighborhood E, Planning Areas 9, 10, 11, and 12; B. That 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. C. That the Proposed Project would not cause aesthetic impacts that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. D. That, pursuant to MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.7 (Neighborhood E, Planning Areas 9, 10, 11, 12) of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan district regulations, recreation uses such as public or private parks, and cafes are permitted uses. Section 4.2.2 of the MCAS Tustin SP requires a concept plan to be prepared and submitted or updated for Zoning Administrator approval concurrent with the submission of a new development proposal. Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9272, Design Review is required for review of building design, site planning and site development; E. That a public meeting was held on said application on April 23, 2015, by the Zoning Administrator; F. That proposed park and stormwater detention basin is consistent with the current overall development potential, intensity, and/or residential capacity allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan; G. 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. Zoning Administrator Action 2015-003 CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001 Exhibit A Page 2 • 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. H. 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 park and stormwater detention basin. • 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 Project has been designed with to serve the surrounding community as a stormwater detention basin, community facilities storage and cafe building and ecological park which is part of a larger green belt. Trails and paths will have native grasses and shrubs to enhance the experience of the users and provide linkages between the development and surrounding uses. The proposed landscape and hardscape theme and treatments, will create continuity and design quality of architecture. I. Public Works Department has reviewed potential traffic related to park use and has determined that there is adequate capacity to support the proposed use thereby creating conformity with the land use/trip budget. J. Continuity and adequacy of all circulation systems, such as roads, access points, trails, pedestrian ways and other infrastructure systems, and parking needed to serve the project have been reviewed and found to be consistent with the impacts analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. K. That monuments and additional wayfinding and kiosk signs will be located throughout the Project site and are consistent with identification for the Tustin Legacy project. L. 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 Zoning Administrator Action 2015-003 CP 2015-002, DR 2015-001 Exhibit A Page 3 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 MCAS, Tustin; M. 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 N. Pursuant to Sections 15162, 151637 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines no new effects would occur. II. The Zoning Administrator hereby approves CP 2015-002 and DR 2015-001 authorizing the construction and maintenance of a 26 acre park and stormwater detention basin located within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan in Neighborhood E of Planning Areas 9 through 12 subject to conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B; PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin at a regular meeting held on the 23rd day of April, 2015.

COMMENTS (Continued from previous page) Brief Project Description: (Include details on the type of project; e.g. new construction [with square footage], demolition of existing buildings, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, zoning amendments, general plan amendments, conditional use for sale of alcoholic beverages, etc.) Concept Plan 2015-002(CP 2015-002) and Design Review 2015-001 (DR 2015-001): The City of Tustin is proposing to construct and maintain a 26 acre park and public detention basin within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed park is designed as a passive park, public detention basin, with public access, a parking lot, monumentation, and a cafe/restroom building. Amenities and improvements include landscaping and hardscape improvements to the detention basin (with planting and irrigation), a resin trail with a decomposed granite shoulder; picnic tables; trash receptacles; decorative concrete and seatwalls at the entry nodes; benches; trash receptacles; a concrete amphitheater a cafe/restroom building and parking lot. The proposed park and public detention basin is consistent with the current overall development potential, intensity, and/or residential capacity allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. COMMENTS (Continued from previous page) Justification of No Effect Determination [Explain how the proposed project has no effect on fish and wildlife consistent with 14 CCR § 753.5(d)]: An environmental checklist was prepared for the proposed project that concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from approval of the project (Attached to ZAA 15-003). The Environmental Analysis Checklist concludes that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment since the proposed project would not increase the overall development potential or residential capacity currently allowed by the adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and that the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement are sufficient for the proposed project.
