AND RELATED USES
RECOMMENDATION
Pleasure of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The discussion by the City Council on this issue will not result in
any direct fiscal impact to the City.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On June 20, 1994, Councilmember Thomas requested that the
initiative being sponsored by the Committee for 21,000 New Jobs
entitled an."Initiative to Amend the Orange County General Plan to
Designate Marine Corps Air Station E1 Toro for Civil Aviation and
Related Uses" be agendized for City Council discussion. A copy of
the subject initiative measure has been provided as Attachment A.
The initiative measure will be considered by the County's
registered voters on November 8, 1994. If adopted, the initiative
measure would amend the current Orange County General Plan
designation for the property commonly known as Marine Corps Air
Station (MCAS) E1 Toro, including areas surrounding the base
property to provide for an airport and related uses. A portion of
the initiative measure would also provide for an interim condition
at MCAS E1 Toro whereby air cargo carriers could jointly use the
runways with the military, until base closure becomes effective
(estimated to be 1999).
The City of Tustin has previously expressed formal opposition to
the use of MCAS E1 Toro for commercial aircraft. City Council
Resolutions Nos. 88-65, 91-122 and 93-29 have all been previously
adopted conveying Tustin's opposition to any form of joint or full
commercial airport use of MCAS E1 Toro. Specifically, the Council
has stated that the increase in noise, air and vehicle traffic,

land use, 'and aesthetic impacts of a commercial airport at the E1
Toro site would seriously degrade the quality of life in the entire
Saddleback'region. Copies of these re~olutions have been provided
as Attachment B, C and D. At this time, staff do not believe that
we should interfere with the MCAS, E1 Toro Reuse planning effort.

MCAS, E1 Toro had been included on the list of base
properties to considered by Congress for closure and

WHEREAS, the direct economic impact to Orange County
resulting from the closure of MCAS E1 Toro (the main
