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, 101 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, 151631 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.

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. Furthermore, the park use for Planning Areas 9, 10, 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. tl1�� d'q�, "; acw' S:>fi1?�R fKEF err rMw� Z= w+r •N. .�...,.�.. w... .«M..,..•�. �.�,.,_.,.. ......m,.,.,.,,... t ) r.r.w r ,.
