Planning Commission Repo~ GenemlPlan Con~rmity Determination- Libra~ Expansion August25,2003 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 3891 determining that the location, purpose, and extent of acquisition of the site and vacation of a portion of Preble Drive between Main Street and Third Street for the Tustin Library Expansion Project is in conformance with the Tustin General Plan. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Section 65402(c) of the California Government Code (Planning and Development Law) requires a general plan conformity determination from local planning agencies prior to acquisition or disposition of real property by a local agency such as a redevelopment agency within the planning agency's jurisdiction or for a proposed street vacation or abandonment. The Tustin City Council has identified design and construction of the Tustin Library Expansion Project as a top priority and instructed staff to pursue property negotiation, acquisition, and street vacation for an expanded library site (Attachment A - Library Site Exhibit). The City will be applying for funding for design and construction of the project from State grant funds pursuant to the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Renovation Act of 2000. The Planning Commission is authorized to determine whether the location, purpose, and extent of the proposed acquisition and street vacation are consistent with the General Plan. The Tustin Library Expansion Project is a public institutional use. Public institutional uses which are compatible with and oriented to serving the needs of neighborhoods would be permitted within the High Density and Community Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. The location, purpose, and extent of the proposed acquisitions for the Tustin Library Expansion Project and the proposed vacation of a portion of Preble Drive between Main Street and Third Street are in conformance with the General Plan.

The City will be applying for funding for design and construction of the project from State grant funds pursuant to the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Renovation Act of 2000.
