Station (MCAS) Tustin Specific Plan district regulations by adding uses
such as acute care/rehabilitation uses and skilled nursing uses as
conditionally permitted uses and increase building height limits to fifty-
five (55) feet for medical centers and sixty (60) feet for acute
care/rehabilitation facilities within Planning Area 7 of the MCAS Tustin
Specific'Plan. Planning Area 7 is located between Edinger Avenue and

specialized medical services for patients needing regular monitoring and
rehabilitation therapy. Patients managing and/or recovering from
conditions such as, but not limited to, surgery, stroke, neurological

services.
D. That the proposed development consists of a Medical Center building that

concluded no additional environmental impacts would occur from
approval of the project (Resolution No. 15-57). 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.
