On December 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 04-76 Minutes — Planning Commission October 27, 2015 — Page 1 of 5 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 Addenda and Supplement, is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS/EIR, Addenda and Supplement considered the potential environmental impacts associated with development on the former MCAS, Tustin. An Environmental Checklist, has been prepared and concluded that these actions do not result in any new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified significant impacts in the FEIS/EIR. Moreover, no new information of substantial importance has surfaced since certification of the FEIS/EIR. That the Planning Commission adopt: 1) Resolution No. 4299, approving an increase to the transitional housing capacity and construct a new parking lot in a vacant parcel, and 2) Resolution No. 4300, establishing a church use at the Village of Hope transitional housing facility. Hutter Presentation given. Thompson Thompson had one clarification for the presentation as it related to Resolution No. 4299, Condition 2.6.

Altowaiji Altowaiji asked for the number of families and the number of singles currently using the facility. Mr. Jim Palmer, applicant, stated the numbers are 60% family members, 40% singles and that the numbers could change based on the needs of the facility. 7:19 p.m. Public Hearing opened.

Minutes — Planning Commission October 27, 2015 — Page 2 of 5 7:26 p.m. Public Hearing closed. Commissioners Smith, Lumbard, Kozak and Thompson's were in support of the item and their comments generally included: VOH is a great/positive, well-run project; thanked the audience for their positive comments; thorough staff report; and OC Rescue Mission's great "track record" and compliance with the City's regulations. Commissioner Altowaiji was concerned with the increase in density; he suggested increasing the capacity in increments and on a trial basis; Altowaiji was concerned there would be a negative impact with the number of people per bedroom as well as the parking arrangements; and he was concerned more people would be brought into the area. Mr. Palmer stated that in the past, the military operated with four (4) people per room prior to VOH using the facilities. He believed if it was done previously, then there should be no problem moving forward. Binsack Binsack clarified Mr. Palmer's statement with reference to the military accommodating four (4) marines per room. The City conducted a separate review of the facility as it is today to ensure there is enough room to accommodate additional individuals that are being proposed per the current Building Code. The facility complies. If there was any doubt the facility did not comply, then the City would not be making a positive recommendation to accommodate additional individuals at the location. With respect to Altowaiji's concerns, Binsack stated that as with all conditional use permits, City staff did include conditions related to the parking intensification as well as the church services. Also included in Resolution 4299 is Condition 1.8, which allows annual review by City staff, if necessary, should there be any concerns at the location. It was moved by Thompson, seconded by Lumbard, to adopt Resolution Nos. 4299 and 4300. Altowaiji opposed. Motion carried 4-1. Adopted Reso. 3.
