TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR (DOI) ADDENDUM TO APPLICATION
FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT TRANSFER OF SURPLUS FEDERAL REAL PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 94-43,
approving an addendum to the City's previous application to the
U.S. Department of the Interior (DoI) for the public benefit
transfer of surplus Federal real property (MCAS, Tu~tin) for
parks/recreational use by the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Public benefit transfer of this additional property would allow the
City to potentially obtain the land area at no or. below market
cost. The addendum application requesting the transfer of surplus
property from MCAS, TuStin for public benefit will not result in an
immediate fiscal impact to the City of Tustin.- Between the time of
application apprgval (estimated early 1995) to the time that formal
property acquisition would occur (estimated in mid-1997), a
complete fiscal analysis would be prepared for the Council's
consideration and approval.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
As Council is aware, Marine Corps Air Station .(MCAS), Tustin is
scheduled to close by July 1997- In compliance with federal base
closure law, the Navy has initiated the process of advertising the
property for future conveyance to military branches, federal
agencies, and state and local entities. On February 22, 1994, City
Council authorized the submittal of an application to the federal
Department of the Interior (DoI) to request the public benefit
conveyance of approximately 25 acres of property located in the
northwest portion of the base which currently serves as the
recreation area for military personnel.
Since the submittal of the City's original application, the Base
Closure Task Force has identified additional land areas that could
be transferred under the public benefit transfer regulations for
park and recreational use. As a result, staff has prepared an
addendum application to request the public benefit transfer of land
area for two 4-acre neighborhood park sites, right-of-way for

bicycle/ equestrian and hiking trails adjacent to and through the
site, and areas within the base for environmental remediation that
must remain in open space with the possibility of their use for
public environmental education programs. At their March 31st
meeting, the Base Closure Task Force formally took action to
recommend approval of this additional public benefit transfer on
behalf of the City.
Similar to the original DoI application request, an addendum to the
application requires City Council authorization for submittal and
designation of an individual to act on behalf of the City.
Resolution No. 94-43 has been prepared in accordance with DoI
requirements to indicate this support.
CONCLUSION
It is important for the City to participate in this phase of the
Federal screening process to ensure that base properties with
potential public parks/recreational re-use value are made available
for potential acquisition. Since. submission of the addendum
application request to the D°I does not obligate the City at this
time but provides an opportunity for future public benefit
conveyance at potentially no cost, it is recommended that the City
Council adopt Resolution No. 94-43, as submitted..?
