units and 51 patio homes (Attachment B). The patio home product would be under
condominium ownership and associations would be established for both products.
The site is bounded by Edinger Avenue on the north, Harvard Avenue and City of Irvine
medium high density and medium density residential areas on the east, the Peters
Canyon Flood Control Channel and Jamboree Road on the west, and Moffett Avenue
and existing former military housing on the south. The site is part of the approximately
977 acres initially conveyed to the City for redevelopment of the former Marine Corps
Air Station (MCAS) and is located within Neighborhood G and Planning Area 21 of the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (Attachment A - Location Map/Neighborhood Map).
In accordance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, adopted on February 3, 2003, by the
City Council, the project requires the following entitlements:
· Approval of Concept Plan 02-003 by the Planning Commission for the design of
.the site;
· Approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507 by the City Council for the
subdivision of the site;
· Approval of Design Review 03-018 by the Planning Commission for architecture
and site design; and,
· Approval of Conditional Use Permit 03-016 by the Planning Commission for
development of patio homes.
On August 25, 2003, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project and
adopted Resolution Nos. 3884 and 3886 approving Concept Plan 02-003, Design
Review 03-018 and Conditional Use Permit 03-016, and Resolution No. 3885
recommending approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507 to the City Council
(Attachment B).
The Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) 03-03 between the City and WL
Homes (John Laing Homes) for the sale and development of Parcel 34 is also
scheduled for City Council consideration on September 15, 2003.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507
As previously noted, the 36.84-acre project site would be subdivided into 143 numbered
lots and thirty-six (36) lettered lots for the purpose of developing a private residential
project with 189 residential units (Attachment C -Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507).
The map includes the following lots:
City Council Report
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507
Page 3 of 4
· Lots 1 through 138 will accommodate single-family dwellings.
· Lots 139 to 142 will accommodate condominium ownership of the patio home
product.
· Lot 143 will accommodate the park site, including a green field, swim center, and
recreational building.
· Lots A through G will accommodate private streets, drives, and alleys.
· Lots H through JJ will accommodate perimeter and common area landscaping.
Development of the site would require on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements,
including final design, alignment, and construction of Moffett Avenue from Harvard Avenue
to Peters Canyon Wash Bridge. Moffett Avenue would be aligned with the centerline of
Paseo West Park in the City of Irvine at the east end and the centerline of the columns of
the Jamboree Road Bridge on the west. Moffett Avenue would include backbone
infrastructure improvements including a Class II bike trail, a new domestic water line per
the requirements of the Irvine Ranch Water District, a new brine line, a new reclaimed
water line per the requirements of the Irvine Ranch Water District, a new sanitary sewer
line per the requirements of the Irvine Ranch Water District, and a storm drain with
adequate capacity to accommodate runoff from the proposed development. The
development would also require installation of new backbone underground dry utilities
(electric, gas, cable TV, telephone, etc).
As a result of the proposed development, the developer will be required to dedicate in fee
title corner cut-offs at intersection of Harvard Avenue and Edinger Avenue and Harvard
Avenue and Moffett Avenue, three (3) feet street right-of-way along Harvard Avenue for
street widening, and additional right-of-way along Moffett Avenue as may be required for
street alignment. Fee title dedications of necessary street right-of-way are consistent with
the Circulation Element Implementation Program as authorized by the City Council and the
MCAS-Tustin Specific Plan.
E NVI RON ME NTAL:
On January 17, 2001, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific
Plan (FEIS/EIR). The proposed density is consistent with development intensity
considered in FEIS/EIR. Staff has prepared a checklist that finds all potential impacts of
the project were addressed by the certified FEIS/EIR and no additional impacts have
been identified (Exhibit I of Resolution No. 03-112). In addition, a mitigation monitoring
program matrix was prepared by the Community Development Department that
identifies the specific mitigation measures or implementation measures identified in the
FEIS/EIR that are applicable to the project; all applicable mitigation measures in the
FEIS/EIR are included as conditions of approval.

homes.
BACKGROUND
The project site is part of the approximately 977 acres initially conveyed to the City for
redevelopment of the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin (Attachment A -
Location Map). The site is bounded by Edinger Avenue on the north, Harvard Avenue
and City of Irvine medium density residential areas on the east, the Peters Canyon
Flood Control Channel and Jamboree Road on the west, and Moffett Avenue and
existing former military housing on the south.
The site currently contains 278 units of military housing that are no longer habitable and
are proposed to be demolished. The project site is comprised of 36.84 (gross) acres
owned by the City. A Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) between the City
and WL Homes (dba John Laing Homes) for the sale and development of Parcel 34 is
scheduled to be considered by City Council on September 2, 2003.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval to construct 189 residential units in Planning Area
21, including 138 single-family detached units and 51 patio home units. Planning Area
21 is located within Neighborhood G, which is intended to be a Iow-density residential
enclave within Tustin Legacy and provide a desirable transition from the commercial

areas of Tustin Legacy to existing Tustin and Irvine residential areas (Attachment B -
Neighborhood Map).
Concept Plan
Concept plan approval is required for each Planning Area, except Planning Area 2
(Community Park) prior to or in conjunction with a new development proposal. The
purpose of the concept plan is to ensure that:
· Necessary linkages are provided between the development and the
Neighborhood/Planning Area in which it is located;
· The integrity and intent of the Specific Plan is maintained in each
Neighborhood/Planning Area; and,
· Other requirements that are not included in the Specific Plan are addressed.
As shown on Concept Plan 03-002 (Attachment C) and described in more detail in the
following discussion, the proposed project provides for continuity of vehicular,
pedestrian, and infrastructure facilities and linkages, including drainage facilities;
incorporates quality architectural and landscape design and urban design features such
as entry and edge treatments, streetscape and landscape concepts, site and
architectural design, provides for phasing of development; and, incorporates the
requirements of the Specific Plan and other requirements, such as the Uniform Building
Code and Construction Standards for Private Improvements.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507
To support the proposed development described in more detail in the following
sections, the project site would be subdivided into 143 numbered lots and thirty-six (36)
lettered lots for the purpose of developing 138 single family parcels and a private
condominium project with 51 residential units (Attachment D - Development Plans).
The tract would include the following lots:
Lots 1 through 138 will accommodate single-family dwellings.
Lots 139 to 142 will accommodate a condominium ownership for the patio home
product.
Lot 143 will accommodate the park site, including the green field, swim center,
and recreational building.
Lots A through G will accommodate private streets, drives, and alleys.
Lots H through JJ will accommodate perimeter and common area landscaping.
Development of the site would require on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements,
including final design, alignment, and construction of Moffett Avenue from Harvard
Avenue to Peters Canyon Wash Bridge. Moffet Avenue would include a Class II bike
trail, a new domestic water line per the requirements of the Irvine Ranch Water District,
a new brine line, a new reclaimed water line per the requirements of the Irvine Ranch
Water District, a new sanitary sewer line per the requirements of the Irvine Ranch

Water District, and a storm drain in Moffett Avenue with adequate capacity to
accommodate runoff from the proposed development. The development would also
require installation of new backbone underground dry utilities (electric, gas, cable TV,
telephone, etc). Moffett Avenue would be aligned the centerline of Paseo West Park in
the City of Irvine at the east end and the centerline of the columns of the Jamboree
Road Bridge on the west.
Resolution No. 3885 includes conditions to ensure compliance with the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, the FEIR/EIS Mitigation Monitoring Program, the Subdivision Map Act,
and the City's Subdivision Ordinance.
Design Review 03-018 and Conditional Use Permit 03-016
The development of Iow density residential units is permitted and patio homes are
conditionally permitted; both types of units and their site design are subject to design
review. A total of 138 single family detached family units and 51 patio home units are
proposed, at a density of 7 units per acre as allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The site is designed with a park site at the center and two clusters of patio homes to the
north and south of the park site. Single family detached units comprise the remainder of
the site.
Development Standards
The site plan is included in Attachment D and a statistical summary identifying
compliance with applicable development standards is included as Attachment E. All
development standards identified in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan applicable to the
project have been met. In addition, Section 3.9.4.1.3 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
requires providing affordable housing units within Planning Area 21. A total of 40
affordable units, including 11 very Iow income units, 10 Iow income units, and 19
moderate income units are proposed to be provided within the patio home product within
the center of the site. Per the DDA, each unit will have an Affordable Housing Covenant
to ensure the unit remains affordable for a period of 45 years. If the original or
subsequent purchaser sells the unit before 45 years have elapsed, the unit must be sold
to a household that meets the applicable income level. In addition, development of the
site requires transitional housing accommodations for the homeless for the Salvation
Army. Condition 12.2 of Resolution No. 3886 requires the developer to satisfy this
obligation pursuant to the Reuse Plan and Specific Plan.
Access, Circulation, Traffic, and Parking
The site is designed with a main entrance from Edinger Avenue and a secondary
entrance from Moffett Avenue (Attachment D - Site Plan). Access to buildings and
garages would be provided from these two main private streets or from adjoining private
drives and alleys in a modified "grid" pattern with two cul-de-sacs, consistent with the
urban design guidelines. There would be a strong pedestrian orientation in that there are
interior sidewalks on both sides of all the private streets and through the common areas.

A pedestrian link to Harvard Avenue and Moffett Avenue would be provided from the site.
The development would include two paseos that would provide direct linkages to the
future trail planned along Peters Canyon Channel.
A joint traffic analysis was prepared for development of Planning Area 20 and Planning
Area 21. The study concluded that a traffic signal would be required for the project
entries at Edinger Avenue. The developer of Planning Area 20 is required to design
and install the traffic signal and the developer of Planning Area 21 would be responsible
for fifty (50) percent of the design and construction costs of the traffic signal and
associated improvements. The developer is also required to modify the traffic signal at
the intersection of Harvard Drive/Moffett Avenue/Paso West Park in the City of Irvine.
In addition, a warrant analysis will be required to determine whether a traffic signal is
needed at the intersection of Moffett Avenue and the project access. If the traffic signal
is needed, the developer would be responsible for fifty (50) percent of the design and
construction costs to be shared with a future developer of the site to the south.
All units are designed with an attached two-car garage; 378 enclosed garage spaces
would be provided. Based on the number of proposed units, 95 guest parking spaces
would be required, as follows:
Unit Type
Single Family
Total 138 units
Required Covered Space
2 Garage
276 garage spaces
Required Guest Parking
0.5 per unit
69 spaces
Patio Homes
Total (51 units)
2 Garage
102 garage spaces
0.5 per unit
26 spaces
Total (Project) 378 garage spaces
95 spaces
Consistent with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, guest parking spaces would be
provided on both sides of the private streets that are a minimum thirty-six (36) feet wide;
a total of 221 parallel guest parking spaces would be provided. In addition, twenty (20)
guest parking stalls would be provided on the north and south side of the park in
proximity to patio homes, where on-street parking may not be readily available due to
garage access and street layout. Condition 9.1 of Resolution No. 3885 would require
the developer to prepare CC&R provisions to ensure that garages are used for storing
vehicles and require the future homeowners association to adopt and enforce
provisions related to on-site parking and traffic.
Individual trash collection service would be provided. To ensure bins would not obstruct
circulation, the developer has prepared a "Curbside Trash Pickup Exhibit" showing
allowable bin locations on collection days. Condition 9.1 of Resolution No. 3885 would
require the homeowners association to enforce bin placement and Condition 10.1 of
Resolution No. 3885 would require homebuyer notification.

Open Space
A 1.7-acre recreational area, including a swim center and clubhouse and public multi-
purpose field area, would be located in the center of the site at the terminus of the main
entry streets. The site would also include 2.5 acres of commonly owned open space
within the site and perimeter landscaping. Since the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan process
included public conveyance of approximately 35 acres of City parks and 85 acres of
Urban Regional Park, individual developers were relieved of the requirement to
dedicate land for park purposes. However, developers are required to pay a parkland
dedication in-lieu fee subject to the provisions of the City's parkland dedication
ordinance, which permits a credit for public recreational open space if affordable
housing is being provided. The developer has elected to make a one (1) acre portion
of the park site accessible to the public and provide public easements to the site. The
requirements for parkland dedication and in-lieu fees will be included in the DDA to be
considered by the City Council. In addition, Condition No. 7.1A of Resolution No. 3885
would provide for recordation of public access easements to the park area that will be
accessible to the public, and Condition No. 10.1 of Resolution No. 3885 would require
homebuyer notification regarding the public use of the park. Site and architectural plans
for the park site would be provided as a separate submittal per Condition 9.2 of
Resolution No. 3888, which requires approval of the Community Development
Department for the park design.
Architecture
The site is designed with a park site at the center, two clusters of patio homes to the
north and south of the park site, and single family detached residential units
surrounding the park and patio homes. The architecture of the residential products
have been designed to be complementary in style, materials, and colors.
The two-story patio home product includes three (3) floor plans that range in size from
1,557 square feet to 2,327 square feet designed in Craftsman, Victorian, and Spanish
architectural styles (Attachment D - Submitted Plans). The single-family product
includes six (6) floor plans ranging in size from 2,549 to 3,387 square feet designed in
Craftsman, Monterey, Cottage, Spanish and Farmhouse architectural styles
(Attachment D - Submitted Plans). All of the plans include a variety of roof and
elevation designs to provide variety. In addition, the applicant has submitted enhanced
elevations for the units located along Edinger Avenue, Harvard Avenue, and Moffett
Avenue. Condition No. 9.1 of Resolution No. 3886 requires that these elevations be
designed with adequate articulation, subject to review and approval of the Community
Development Director. With the single family detached products, some of the side
elevations on private streets are designed with a straight wall and no architectural
articulation. Condition 9.9 of Resolution No. 3888 requires that wall off sets or
architectural articulation be provided on the side elevations facing streets to ensure
sufficient visual interest.

August 25, 2003
Page 7
The recreational area with a swim center and clubhouse and public multi-purpose field
area would be located in the center of the site. As noted under "Open Space", the
building and site design of the recreational facility would be reviewed at plan check and
subject to approval by the Community Development Director. Condition No. 9.2 of
Resolution No. 3886 would require the design to be reflective of the architectural styles
in the tract.
LandscapinR
A variety of vertical and broad dome trees are proposed to create the design mixture that
is required for the perimeter roadway streetscapes by Section 2.17 of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan (Attachment D - Landscape Concepts). The streetscape along Edinger
Avenue will feature a nine (9) foot meandering sidewalk and Chinese Flame, Canary
Island and Afghan pines, California Pepper, and Brisbane Box trees. Two (2) large entry
landscape areas of approximately 13,600 square feet are proposed at both sides of the
primary entrance from Edinger Avenue. Harvard Avenue will include a (5) foot wide
meandering sidewalk and Eucalyptus, Jacaranda, London Plane, and California pepper
trees. The Moffett Avenue streetscape includes a five (5) foot wide sidewalk with Blue
Gum, Brisbane Box, and Afghan Pine trees.
Since the project site is a significant entry to Tustin Legacy, the project corners of
Harvard Avenue and Moffett Avenue would be designed to meet the requirements of
Section 2.17 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and subject to final approval of the
Community Development Department and DDA for Parcel 34. The project corner of
Harvard Avenue and Edinger Avenue includes a decorative monument that will match the
approved tract north of the site (Attachment D - Preliminary Concepts). A portal entry
with an accent tree would be installed at the northeast corner of Harvard Avenue and
Moffett Avenue as required by Section 2.17 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. In
addition, the two entries to the site will feature a variety of trees including Camphor trees,
Goldenrain tree, Southern Magnolia, Chinese Pistache, and enhanced paving.
The interior of the site is designed with the park site as a focal point. The interior
streetscape includes a five (5) foot sidewalk and landscaping including 305 24-inch box
trees of a wide variety such as Orchid trees, Bottle trees, Crape myrtle, and African
Sumac. Three (3) pedestrian access is proposed from the site to Edinger Avenue, Moffett
Avenue, and the future Peters Canyon trail.
All perimeter and interior landscape and hardscape within common areas would be
installed by the developer and maintained by the homeowners association. The specific
location, species, and number of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers would be identified at
plan check, subject to review and approval of the Community Development Department.

Retaining Walls/Sound Walls
Perimeter sound and retaining walls would be installed parallel to Edinger Avenue,
Harvard Avenue, Moffett Avenue, and Peters Canyon Flood Control Channel (Attachment
D - Wall Diagram). Interior walls and fencing would be installed to define private open
space areas and the recreational facilities at the park site.
Sound attenuation measures are required to be included in the project in accordance with
Section 3.9.4.J of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and adopted mitigation measures of the
FEIS/EIR. To determine the types of measures, a noise analysis was prepared and
submitted that indicates a sound wall should be installed on all four perimeters of the site
(Attachment E - Submitted Noise Analysis). The sound walls will provide a maximum
exterior noise standard of 65 dB CNEL in outdoor living areas, and building construction
techniques will ensure an interior noise level of maximum 45 dB CNEL in all habitable
rooms, as required by Tustin City Code Sections 4614 and 4615 related to noise
standards for residential uses. Conditions 14.1 and 14.2 are included to ensure that these
requirements are reflected in the design of the project.
Along Edinger Avenue the sound wall would be five and half (5.5) feet in height and along
Harvard Avenue and Moffett Avenue the sound walls would be five (5) feet in height from
the top of the landscape sloped setback (Attachment D - Submitted Plans). Since the
site will be raised to drain to the southwest corner of the property, a retaining wall/sound
wall combination is proposed at the westerly property line along the Peters Canyon Flood
Control Channel that would result in a wall height of more than sixteen (16) feet at the
northwest corner of the site.
While a stepped keystone retaining wall design would improve the appearance of the wall
along the channel, it would require approximately five (5) to ten (10) feet of retaining
slope. Since the proposed residential units along the west of the site are designed with
minimum rear yard setback, the slope cannot be accommodated within the project site.
The slope design would need to be incorporated into the design of the future Peters
Canyon trail. However, there is sufficient area at the northwest corner of the project site
to include berming and landscape screening. Condition 10.8 of Resolution No. 3886
would ensure that the northwest corner of the site would have sufficient berming and
landscaping to screen the view of the wall from Edinger Avenue. In addition, for the
paseo connection from the interior of the project to the future Peters Canyon trail,
Condition 10.7 of Resolution No. 3886 would require a flared design with accent
screening trees to avoid a tunnel effect.
Model Home Sales Complex and Phasinq Plan
Two (2) model complexes for the two (2) products are proposed in the northeast portion
of the site (Attachment D - Phasing Plan). The single family detached units are proposed
to be built in six (6) phases and the patio home units are proposed to be built in four (4)
phases. The applicant would be required to close and convert the model homes to
occupancy within 90 days from the last home sale of the same style home.

Demolition
There are 278 military housing units that are no longer habitable on the project site.
These units are proposed to be demolished. Conditions 6.1 to 6.3 of Resolution No. 3886
require submittal of a demolition plan. The demolition plan will be required to include
provisions for the developer to manage the removal of any asbestos and lead-based paint
from the site as stipulated in the deed for the property including Finding of Suitability
(FOST) #3, satisfy any mitigation measures as required by the adopted EIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin, and comply with DDA 03-03 for Parcel 34.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
On January 17, 2001, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific
Plan (FEIS/EIR). The proposed density is consistent with development intensity
considered in FEIS/EIR. Staff has prepared a checklist that finds all potential impacts
of the project were addressed by the certified FEIS/EIR and no additional impacts have
been identified (Exhibit 1 of Resolution No. 3883). In addition, a mitigation monitoring
program matrix was prepared by the Community Development Department that
identifies the specific mitigation measures or implementation measures identified in the
FEIS/EIR that are applicable to the project; all applicable mitigation measures in the
FEIS/EIR are included as conditions of approval in Resolution Nos. 3885 and 3886.
A decision to approve the proposed project may be supported by the findings contained
in Resolution Nos. 3883, 3884, 3885, and 3886.

SUMMARY
PRELIMINARY EXTERIOR NOISE ANALYSIS FOR
PA-21, TENTATIVE TRACT 16507
CITY OF TUSTIN
EXTERIOR NOISE MITIGATION
The exterior living areas in the project must comply with the exterior noise standard of 65
CNEL. A number of rear yards in the project will be exposed to worst case traffic noise levels in
excess of the 65 CNEL, and therefore, mitigation measures will be necessary. The results of the
analysis indicate that in order to meet the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard, noise barriers
between 5.0 and 6.5 feet high will be required for the exterior living areas adjacent to Jamboree
Road, Edinger Avenue and Harvard Avenue. The required noise barrier locations and heights are
listed below in Table S, and shown in Exhibit S. The noise barriers should be relative to the pad
elevations of the lots. Lots adjacent to Moffett Drive will experience noise levels of less than 65
CNEL, and therefore, will not require noise barriers.

For paseo openings along Harvard Avenue and Jamboree Road, the required walls can be
wrapped around the sides of the lots next to these openings as indicated in the exhibit.
If there are any second floor balcony deck areas facing Jamboree Road, Edinger Avenue and
Harvard Avenue, additional noise analysis will be required to determine noise barriers necessary
to meet the 65 CNEL noise standard. This can be done when architectural plans are available.
INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS
The second floor exterior building surfaces will be exposed to maximum traffic noise levels of
approximately 66.0 CNEL along Jamboree Road, 68.0 CNEL along Edinger Avenue, and 64.9
CNEL along Harvard Avenue. In order to meet the City's 45 CNEL interior noise standard, the
buildings will need to achieve outdoor to indoor noise attenuations of at least 21 dB, 23 dB and
19.9 dB, respectively. Detailed engineering calculations are necessary for building attenuation
requirements greater than 20 dB. A future noise study will be required to address the interior
noise levels of the homes along Jamboree Road and Edinger Avenue when final architectural
drawings become available and prior to the issuance of building permits.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
Since the noise attenuation of a building falls to about 12 dB with windows ~all buildings
exposed to noise levels greater than 57 CNEL will meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standard
only with windows closed. In order to assume that windows can remain closed to achieve this
required attenuation, adequate ventilation with windows closed must be provided per the
California Building Code (2001 California Building Code, Section 1203.3).
Mechanical ventilation will be required for the homes in Lots 7 through 19, Lots 43 through 55
along Jamboree Road; Lots 1 through 7, 14, 51 and Lots 130 through 138 along Edinger
Avenue; Lots 107 through 129 along Harvard Avenue. Refer to Exhibit S for lots requiring
mechanical ventilation. (Mechanical ventilation should be installed prior to final inspection and
a buyer notification is required for these homes). Air conditioning units may be an adequate
substitute for mechanical ventilation as long as they meet the ventilation requirements specified
in the California Building Code. The acceptability of using air conditioners to meet the
mechanical ventilation requirement varies by municipality. Local jurisdiction and the
mechanical engineer for the project should be consulted.

PRELIMINARY EXTERIOR NOISE ANALYSIS FOR
TENTATIVE TRACT 16507 (PA-21)
CITY OF TUSTIN
1.0INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to assess compliance of Tentative Tract 16507 with the noise related
conditions of approval placed on the project by the City of Tustin. The project calls for the
development of single-family homes. This report addresses the future noise levels at the project
site in relation to the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard adopted by the City of Tustin.
The project is located in the City of Tustin (see Exhibit 1). The primary noise source in the
project area is traffic noise from Edinger Avenue, Harvard Avenue and Jamboree Road (see
Exhibit 2). Site plan information was provided by Hunsaker and Associates, Inc., June 23, 2003.
2.0 CITY OF TUSTIN NOISE STANDARDS
The City of Tustin specifies outdoor and indoor noise limits for residential land uses. Both
standards are based upon the CNEL index. CNEL or Community Noise Equivalent Level is a 24
hour time weighted annual average noise level based on the A-weighted decibel. A-weighting is
a frequency correction that correlates overall sound pressure levels with the frequency response
of the human ear. Time weighting refers to the fact that noise occurring during certain noise-
sensitive time periods is given more significance because it occurs at these times. In the
calculation process, noise occurring in the evening time periOd (7 p.m. to 10 p.m.)is increased
by 5 dB, while noise occurring in the nighttime period (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) is increased by 10 dB.
These time periods and increases were 'selected to reflect increased sensitivity to noise while
sleeping, eating and relaxing.
The City of Tustin (General Plan Noise Element) has adopted an exterior noise standard of 65
CNEL and an interior noise standard of 45 CNEL.
3.0 METHODOLOGY
The traffic noise levels projected in this report were computed using the Highway Noise Model
published by the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction
Model", FHWA-RD-77-108, December 1978). The FHWA Model uses traffic volume, vehicle
mix, vehicle speed, and roadway geometry to compute the "equivalent noise level". A computer
code computes equivalent noise levels for each of the time periods used in CNEL. Weighting and
summing these noise levels results in the CNEL for the traffic projections used.

4.0 ROADWAY NOISE EXPOSURE
The future (year 2020) average daily traffic (ADT) data for Edinger Avenue, Harvard Avenue
and Jamboree Road were obtained from Mr. Doug Anderson at the City of Tustin Engineering
Department on June 24, 2003. (ADT for Moffett Drive was not available). The roadway speed
limits are 60 mph for Jamboree Road and 50 mph for Edinger Avenue (as confirmed by Mr.
Doug Anderson on July 22, 2003). Table 1 presents the traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, and
roadway grades used in the CNEL calculations. Table 2 presents the traffic distribution used in
the calculations.
Table 1
Future Traffic Volumes, Speeds and Roadway Grades
Roadway Traffic Volume (ADT) Speed Grade (%)
Jamboree Road 86,000 60 <3%
Edinger Avenue 35,000 50 <3%
Harvard Avenue 14,000 45 <3%

Automobile 75.51 12.57 9.34
Medium Track 1.56 0.09 0.19
Heavy Track 0.64 0.02 0.08
The FHWA model used these assumptions to compute the future noise levels at the project site.
Table 3 reports the modeling results in terms of distances to the 60, 65, and 70 CNEL contours.
These represent the worst case distances from the centefline of the roadway to the contour value
shown. Note that the values given in Table 3 do not take into account the effect of intervening
topography that may affect the roadway noise exposure. Topographic effects are included in a
subsequent section of this report.

Based on the site plan information, the nearest rear yards are estimated to be .located
approximately 358 feet from the centerline of Jamboree Road, 80 feet from the centerline of
Edinger Avenue, and 65 feet from the centerline of Harvard Avenue. Based on these distances,
the nearest rear yards are projected to be exposed to worst case unmitigated traffic noise levels of
approximately 66.2 dBA along Jamboree Road, 69.6 dBA along Edinger Avenue, and 65.8 dBA
along Harvard Avenue. The noise analysis was based on softsite conditions which take into
account noise attenuation due to ground absorption.
5.0 EXTERIOR NOISE MITIGATION
The City of Tustin has adopted an exterior noise standard of 65 CNEL. For the exterior living
areas which are exposed to noise levels greater than 65 CNEL, some form of noise mitigation is
required. An effective method of reducing the traffic noise to acceptable levels is with a noise
barrier. Representative cross-sections along Jamboree Road, Edinger Avenue and HarVard
Avenue were analyzed utilizing the FHWA Model to determine the necessary noise barrier
locations and heights. The results of the analysis indicate that in order to meet the 65 CNEL
exterior noise standard, noise barriers of 5.0 to 6.5 feet high will be required for the exterior
living areas adjacent to Jamboree Road, Edinger Avenue and Harvard Avenue. The required
noise barrier locations and heights are listed below in Table 4 and Exhibit 2. '£he lots along
Moffett Avenue will experience noise levels less than 65 CNEL, and therefore, will not require
noise barriers.

If there are any second floor balcony deck areas facing facing Jamboree Road, Edinger Avenue
and Harvard Avenue, additional noise analysis will be required to determine any noise barriers
necessary to meet the 65 CNEL noise standard. This can be done when architectural plans are
available.
INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS
The nearest second floor exterior building surfaces will be exposed to maximum traffic noise
levels of approximately 66.0 CNEL along Jamboree Road, and 68.0 CNEL along Edinger
Avenue, and 64.9 CNEL along Harvard Avenue. In order to meet the City's 45 CNEL interior
noise standard, the homes in the project will need to achieve outdoor to indoor noise attenuations
of at least 21 dB, 23 dB and 19.9 dB, respectively. Detailed engineering calculations are
necessary for building attenuation requirements greater than 20 dB. A future study will be

~]Mandatory Findings of
Significance
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the envirOnment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. '
I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLAI~TION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one
effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and
2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated."
An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects 1) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
I. AESTHETICS - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
· b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining
whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997)prepared by the California Dept. of
Conservgttion as an optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which,
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
III. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality management
or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the
following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable
air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially
to an existing or projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air
quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number
of people?

PLANNING AREA 21 - MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN
BACKGROUND
The fom~er Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin was officially closed on July 2, 1999 as a
result of recommendations of the Federal Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The City
was designated as the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for the reuse of MCAS Tustin and,
acting as such, approved a Reuse Plan that provided for future land uses at the former MCAS Tustin
on October 1996 and subsequently amended on September 1998 ("the Reuse Plan"). The Reuse Plan
was subsequently reviewed and approved by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) as consistent w/th federal law regarding the homeless.
In accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") of 1969, as
mnended, and the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the federal government and
City prepared a Joint Final Program Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact
Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin. On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin
certified the Final Joint Program Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report
for the disposal and reuse of MCAS-Tustin (referenced as FEIS/EIR herein).
The project is within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, part of the approximately 1,153 acres
agreed to be conveyed to the City by the Department of the Navy for redevelopment of the
former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS). OnMay 13, 2002, 977 acres were conveyed to the
City and 176 acres were leased to the City.
The project site is comprised of 36.84 acres owned by the City and located within a portion of
Planning Area 21 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The project site is bounded by Edinger
Avenue on the north, the City of medium density and medium high density residential district
and Harvard Avenue on the east, Jamboree Road on the west, and existing fom~er military
housing on the south. Access to the site is currently provided fi:om Moffett Avenue.
The proposed project would develop 189 units as follows:
Single Family Detached
Patio Homes Detached
138 Units
51 Units
Total 189 Units
In accordance with the requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.9.3 (J), forty
(40) affordable units (19 moderate-income, 10 low income, and 11 very low income) are
required to be dispersed throughout the site. The affordable units would be located in the patio
home units in the center of the site.
The project includes development of a 1.7-acre recreational site including a minimum one (1)
acre public recreational area and facility improvements for which parkland credit will be
provided in accordance with the requirements of the Quimby Act and the City's Subdivision
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883

requirements. Access to the public park site would be provided by public access easements from
two entry points to the site with recordation of an easement on Tentative Tract Map 16507. A
portion of the site would also include private amenities available to the residents of the
development.
As part of the analysis of the MCAS Tustin FEIR/EIS for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan,
Planning Area 21 was identified as a Low Density Residential (LDR) site, with a development
potential of 1-7 dwelling units per acre. There were 711 existing units within Planning Area 21
(Table 3-1, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan). At the time, rehabilitation of these units were
considered and therefore the total number of 711 units was included in the land use analysis
included in the MCAS Tustin FEIR/EIS for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
Planning Area 21 includes 95.5 net acres with potential development of maximum 668 units at 7
units per acre. The net area of the project site is 27-acres that would allow development of 189
units in this site at 7 units per acre, consistent with the FEIS/EIR analysis. All related
environmental impacts were addressed in the FEIS/EIR and implementation and mitigation
measures were incorporated into the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, which are included in the DDA
or with conditions of approval for the other entitlement portions of the project as identified in the
Mitigation Monitoring Program Matrix (Attachment 2 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883).
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist.
AESTHETICS - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
' outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect
day or nighttime views in the area?
The project is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. The project
would be consistent with the permitted uses identified within the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. Development of low-density residential units within Planning Area 21 was
considered within the FEIS/EIR and will have no negative aesthetic effect on the site when
mitigation measures identified in the FEIS/EIR are incorporated with approval of the
project. All exterior design is required to be in compliance with Section 2.17.3(A) - Urban
Design Guidelines for Residential Development of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, and the
Landscape Concept Section 3.17.2 as they relate to design of Harvard Avenue south of
Edinger Avenue, Edinger Avenue from Jamboree Road to Harvard, Moffett Drive, and
primary street comers and project entries. Since the site is bounded by two arterials, the
Landscape/Screening standards noted in Section 3.11.12. The proposal includes a design
review, which requires that the design of the project is cohesive and in harmony with
surrounding uses. All exterior lighting would be designed to reduce glare, create a safe

night environment, and avoid impacts to surrounding properties in compliance with Section
2.17.3 (A) of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the City's Security Ordinance. The
proposed project will result in no substantial changes to the environmental impacts
previously eValuated with the certified Program FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR as identified in the Mitigation and Implementation Measures
matrix (Attachment 2); these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the
project.

II.
AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in
assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use?
The project would not convert prime farmland, unique farmland or farmland of statewide
importance as shown on maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Managing and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. Also, the
property is not zoned for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract, nor does the
proposed use involve other changes in the existing environment that could result in the
conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. The project site is not zoned or used as
agricultural land; consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
As documented in the FEIS/EIR, the project is part of larger project that was projected to
result in air quality impacts. A Statement of Overrid'mg Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was
adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. Since the project will construct
189 units on an area that previously contained 278 units and will result in less density than
previously existed on the site, all environmental impacts related to development of the
Specific Plan were considered in the adopted FEIS/EIR. The project would not add any
impacts beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR. However, the FEIS/EIR also concluded that
Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant and impossible to fully
mitigate. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the
Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.

IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: - Would the project:
a)
Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department offish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or

by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
c)
Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal
pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or
other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Ir) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state
habitat conservation plan?
The FEIS/EIR found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered plant or animal
species. The proposed project is within the scope of development considered with the
analysis of the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR determined that implementation
of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (including the proposed project) could
impact jurisdictional watts/wetlands and the southwestern pond turtle or have an impact on
jurisdictional waters/wetlands. The project site is not located in an area that would affect the
southwestern pond turtle or have an impact on jurisdictional waters or wetlands. No
substantial change is expected fi:om the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Require& No mitigation is required.

CULTURAL RESOURCES: - Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as
defined in §15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological
resource pursuant to § 15064.5?
e) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal cemeteries?
Numerous archaeological surveys have been conducted at the former MCAS Tustin site. In
1988, the State Office of Historic Preservation (SItPO) provided written concurrence that all
open spaces on MCAS Tustin had been adequately surveyed for archaeological resources.
Although one archaeological site (CA-ORA-381) has been recorded within the Reuse Plan
area, it is believed to have been destroyed. It is possible that previously unidentified buried
archaeological or paleontological resources within the project site could be significantly
impacted by grading and construction activities. With the inclusion of a mitigation measures
that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to cultural resources can be reduced
to a level of insignificance. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the State Geologist
for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer
to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
Strong seismic ground shaking?
Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
· Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CLIP 03-016
Page 7
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform BUilding
Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for' the
disposal of wastewater?
The FEIS/EII~ indicates that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of
the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan would "include non-seismic hazards (such
as local settlement, regional subsidence, expansive soils, slope instability, erosion, and
mudflows) and seismic hazards (such as surface fault displacement, high-intensity ground
shaking, ground failure and lurching, seismically induced settlement, and flooding
associated with dam failure." However, the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin concluded that
compliance with state and local regulations and standards, along with established
engineering procedures and techniques, would avoid unacceptable risk or the creation of
significant impacts related to such hazards. No substantial change is expected for
development of the project bom the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS/EIR, compliance with existing
rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is
required.

VII. I-gZggDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERL6&S: - Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine
transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
b)
Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonable
foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials,
substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed schooL?
d)
Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it
create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?

e)
For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public use airport,
would the project result in a safety hazard for' people residing or working in the
project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
h)
Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or
where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The project will not create a significant hazard to the public through the transport, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials, nor are there reasonably foreseeable upset and accident
conditions at the property. In addition, construction and residential uses would not emit
hazardous emissions within a quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The Navy has
approved a Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) determining that the Quitclaim
portions of the project are suitable for reuse as planned within the Reuse Plan for MCAS
Tustin and as shown in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. In addition, the project site is
located within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan; however, it is at least
four (4) miles fi:om John Wayne Airport, and does not lie within an flight approach or
departure corridor and thus does not pose an aircraft-related safety hazard for future
residents or workers. The project site is not located in a wildland fire danger area.
Compliance with all federal, state and local regulations concern/rig handling and use of these
hazardous substances will reduce potential impacts to below a level of significance. No
substantial change is expected fi:om the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS/EIR, compliance with existing
roles and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is
required.

HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: - Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater suPplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge, such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume
or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of
pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing
land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which
would result in flooding on- or off-site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including
through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially
increase the rate' or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in
flooding on- or off-site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources
of polluted runoff?.
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood
hazard Boundary of Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard
delineation map?
h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or
redirect flood flows?
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
The proposed project includes construction of 189 residential units that would increase
runoff. However, the project will not result in additional impacts beyond what was analyzed
in the adopted FEIS/EIR. The project design and construction of facilities to fully contain
dra'mage of the site would be required as conditions of approval of the project. No long-term
impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated for the proposed project. The
proposed projects will not impact groundwater in the deep regional aquifer or shallow
aquifer. The proposed project would not include groundwater removal or alteration of
historic drainage patterns at the site. The project is not located within a 100-year flood area
and will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury and death
involving flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam, nor is the proposed project
susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
Construction operations would be required to comply with the Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for the Newport Bay watershed that requires compliance with the Drainage Area
Master Plan (DAMP) and National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 10
the implementation of specific best management practices (BMP). Comphance with state
and local regulations and standards, along with established engineering procedures and
techniques, would avoid unacceptable risk or the creation of significant impacts related to
such hazards. Consequently, no substantial change is expected tkom the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS/EIR, compliance with existing
rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is
required.

IX.
LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency
with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited, to the general plan,
specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the
purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan?
The City of Tustin is the controlling authority over implementation of the Reuse Plan for the
former base, such as land use designations, zoning categories, recreation and open space
areas, major arterial roadways, urban design, public facilities, and infrastructure systems.
On February 3, 2003, the Tustin City Council approved the Specific Plan for MCAS Tustin
that established land use and development standards for development of the site. The
proposed project meets the density requirements of Table 3-2 of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan and development standards of Planning Area 21 as they relate to Single Family
Residential Units and Patio Homes as noted in Sections 3.9.4 of MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan, Compliance with state and local regulations and standards would avoid the creation of
significant land use and planning impacts. Also, the proposed project will not conflict with
any habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Consequently, no
change is expected fi:om the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS
Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The proposed project is consistent with the development
standards of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan as identified by the adopted FEIS/EIR. No
mitigation is required.

X. MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a
value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery
site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Chapter 3.9 of the FEIS/EIR indicates that no mineral resources are known to occur
anywhere within the Reuse Plan area. The proposed project will not result in the loss of
mineral resources known to be on the site or identified as being present on the site by any
mineral resource plans. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XI. NOISE: Would the project:
Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards
of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground borne vibration or
ground borne noise levels?
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above levels existing without the project?

Page 12
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, Where such a plan has
not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport,
would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose
people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
The proposed project could result in implementation activities that generate noise. The
FEIS/EIR indicates that full build-out of the base will create noise impacts that would be
considered significant if noise levels experienced by sensitive receptors would exceed those
considered "normally acceptable" for the applicable land use categories in the Noise
Elements of the Tustin General Plan. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. However, the City of
Tustin will ensure that construction activities comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and
the housing units are designed with adequate noise attenuation (i.e., window design, sound
walls) to meet the allowable noise levels as required by Tustin City Code for residential use.
The project would be sound attenuated against present and projected noise so as not to
exceed an exterior noise standard of 65 dB CNEL in outdoor living areas and an interior
standard of 45 dB CNEL in all habitable rooms to reduce noise-related impacts to a level of
insignificance. Compliance with adopted mitigation measures and state and local regulations
and standards, along with estabhshed engineering procedures and techniques, will avoid
unacceptable risk or the creation of significant impacts related to such hazards.
Mitigaa'on/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval
for the project.

POPULATION & HOUSING: Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
The proposed project would construct 189 new residential un/ts on a site that includes 278
existing military housing traits that have been vacant since mid-1997. The current condition
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CUP 03-016
Page 13
of the housing requires significant improvements prior to occupation. The proposed project
will not displace people or necessitate construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The
proposed number of residential units is consistent with the density than was previously
considered in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. The project will remove vacant military
housing units; however, it is anticipated that the total number of units for Planning Area 21
upon completion of the entire planning area would be consistent with the number of units
considered in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. No substantial change is expected from the
analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

Tustin General Plan
XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with
the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new
or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could
cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service
ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public
services:
The site coma'ms military housing which has been vacant since mid-1997. Development of
the site would require public services such as fire and police protection services, schools,
libraries, recreation facilities, and biking/hiking trails.
Fire Protection. The proposed project will be required to meet existing Orange County
Fire Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding demolition, construction materials and
methods, emergency access, water mains, fire flow, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems,
building setbacks, and other relevant regulations. Adherence to these regulations would
reduce the risk of uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire
protection services to the site. The number of fire stations in the areas surrounding the
site will meet the demands created by the proposed project.
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population est'unates, square footage of non-residential uses, etc. Development of
the site would increase the need for police protection services. The developer as a condition
of approval for the project would be required to work with the Tustin Police Department to
ensure that adequate security precautions such as visibility, lighting, emergency access,
address signage are implemented in the project at plan check.
Schools. The proposed project is located within Irvine Unified School District (IUSD).
The implementation of the Reuse Plan would provide for a 20-acre school site to IUSD to
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CUP 03-016
Page 14
serve the growing student population within its district. As a condition of approval for the
project, the developer would be required to pay applicable school fees prior to issuance of
the building pemfit.
Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Implementation of the entire Reuse Plan would only
result in a library demand of up to approximately 2,500 square feet of library space. This
relatively small mount of space is well below the library system's general minimum size of
10,000 square feet for a branch library and would not trigger the need for a new facility.
General Implementation Requirements: To support development in the reuse plan area, the
Reuse Plan/Specific Plan requires public services and facilities to be provided concurrent
with demand. The proposed project will be required to comply with FEIS/EIR
implementation measures adopted by the Tusfin City Council.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previousiy completed in the approved
FEIS/E[R for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigatz'on/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval
for the project.

XIV. RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks
. or other recreational facilities, such that substantial physical deterioration of the
facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?
The Reuse Plan provides for a new 84.5-acre Regional Park, a 24-acre Community Park and
three (3) Neighborhood Parks of more than five-acres, and five (5) community r/ding and
h'hking paths through the property connecting to the regional bikeway/trail system, a
privately owned 159-acre golf course, play areas associated with schools, and child care
facilities.
Since the Reuse Plan process included public conveyance of approximately 35 acres of city
parks and 85 acres of Urban Regional Park, individual developers were relieved of the
requirement to dedicate land for park purposes. However, pursuant to the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, the developers are required to provide in-lieu fees or public accessible park
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CUP 03-016
Page 15
space (where approved by the City). This requirement will be included in the conditions of
approval for the project.
The proposed project would not generate an increase in the use of existing neighborhood
parks since a park s~te would be included in the site. However a negligible increase in the
use of regional parks or other recreational facilities may be experienced prior to
development of the entire MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Consequently, no substantial
change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS
Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the. FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval
for the project.

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC: Would the project:
Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic
load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either
the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads
or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic
levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?.
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
The project site is accessed from Edinger Avenue and Moffett Drive. Internal circulation
of the site would be managed through private streets designed in compliance with the
roadway standards of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 2.5.2(B) related to major
arterials and private streets standards.
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CUP 03-016
Page 16
The FEIS/EIR indicates that transportation and circulation impacts would be created
through the phased development of the approved Reuse Plan and MCAS Tnstin Specific
Plan. A projected 216,445 Average Daily Trips (ADT) would be generated by full
redevelopment of the base by year 2020 that, if left unmitigated, would overbUrden
existing roadways and intersections surrounding the base property. The FEIS/EIR
indicates that traffic circulation activities at MCAS Tustin generated a baseline of 12,400
ADT when the base was fully operational (1993). As a military facility, the FEIS/EIR
considered the traffic impact and developed a mitigation program to reduce potential
impacts to a level of insignificance. This site will be conditioned to participate in its fair
share responsibility for both on-site and off-site circulation mitigation and implementation
measures. In addition, construction activities are required to be meet all Transportation
related FEIS/EIR Implementation and Mitigation Measures (e.g., lane closures, street/utility
construction, construction vehicle traffic, etc.). The FEIS/EIR implementation and
mitigation measures will reduce potential impacts to' the traffic and circulation system to a
level of insignificance. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measUres would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water
Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects?
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing
entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CUP 03-016
Page 17
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or
may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's
projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste?
The FEIR/EIR analyzed low-density residential development on the proposed site, which
is consistent with the proposed project. Development of the site would require on-site
improvements and off-site: infrastructure improvements to utilities and roadway systems,
including final design and construction of Moffett Avenue from Harvard Avenue to
Peters Canyon Wash Bridge. Improvements to Moffett'Avenue would.include design
and installation of a Class II bike trail, a new domestic water line if required by the Irvine
Ranch Water District, a new brine line, a new reclaimed water line if required by the
Irvine Ranch Water District, a new sanitary sewer line if required by the Irvine Ranch
Water District, a storm drain with adequate capacity to accommodate runoff from the
proposed development, and new backbone underground dry utilities (electric, gas, cable
TV, telephone, etc). In addition, development of the site is required to meet federal,
state, and local standards for design of wastewater treatment. The number of proposed
units can be supported by the Irvine Ranch Water District for domestic water and sewer
services. Improvements to Peters Canyon Channel will be installed at a later date
through an implementation agreement between City of Tustin and the Orange County
Flood Control District (OCFCD) as previously required by the adopted FEIS/EIR. No
substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval
for the project.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3883
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
TT 16507, DR 03-18, CUP 03-016
Page 18
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below serf-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects
of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Based upon the foregoing, the proposed project does not have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitats or wildlife populations to
decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. With the enforcement of
FEIS/EIR mitgafion and implementation measures approved by the Tustin City Council,
the proposed project does not cause unmitigated environmental effects that will cause
substantial effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the proposed
project does have air quality impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of the reuse and redevelopment of
the former MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR previously considered all environmental impacts
associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The
project proposes no substantial changes to environmental issues previously considered with
adoption of the FEIS/EIR. Mitigation measures were identified in the FEIS/EIR to reduce
impact but not to a level of insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the
FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR previously considered all environmental
impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR
and would be included in the project as applicable.

CONCLUSION
The summary concludes that all of the proposed project's effects were previously examined in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin, 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

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE
VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP '16507, TO SUBDIVIDE 36.84
ACRES FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING 189 RESIDENTIAL
UNITS WITHIN PLANNING AREA 21 OF THE MCAS-TUSTIN
SPECIFIC PLAN
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
That a proper application for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
16507 was submitted by WL Homes LLC (dba John Laing Homes)
requesting subdivision of a 36.84 acre area owned by the City of
Tustin, into 143 numbered lots and 36 lettered lots for development
of 189 residential units (138 single family units and 51 patio homes)
within Planning Area 21 of the MCAS-Tustin Specific Plan,
generally bounded by Harvard Avenue to the east, Edinger Avenue
to the north, the Peters Canyon Flood Control Channel to the west,
and Moffett Avenue to the south;
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, a nd held for said
map on August 25, 2003, by the Planning Commission;
That the proposed subdivision is in conformance with the Tustin
Area General Plan, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, State Subdivision
Map Act and the City's Subdivision Code;
That the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan process included public
conveyance of approximately 35 acres of City parks and 85 acres
of an Urban Regional Park and individual developers were relieved
of the requirement to dedicate land for park purposes; however, the
developer is required to pay a parkland dedication in-lieu fee
subject to the provisions of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the
City's parkland dedication ordinance (Section 9331 of the Tustin
City Code), which permits a credit for public recreational open
space if affordable housing is being provided. The subdivider is
providing 1.7 acres of parkland in the proposed subdivision and has
requested a waiver of parkland dedication fees pursuant to Section
9931 d. of the Tustin City Code for the forty (40) affordable housing
units to be provided in the subdivision and a credit for a minimum of
one (1) acre parkland that will be provided and accessible to the
public on the park site through public easements on the
development site;
Resolution No. 3885

That the proposed subdivision would not have an impact on school
district facilities within the Irvine Unified School District in that
school impacts for development were considered in the MCAS
'Reuse Plan and in a 1996 "Agreement between the City of Tustin
and Irvine Unified School District Regarding Transfer of School Site
and other Mitigation Measures" which identified a school facility site
that will be conveyed to the Irvine Unified School District by the
Federal Department of Education to serve development of property
at the former MCAS Tustin. The Agreement, the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, and the Final Joint Program Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) and conditions
of approval of the proposed subdivision also require proof of
payment of appropriate school fees as adopted by the Irvine Unified
School District prior to issuance of certificates of use and
occupancy, which will be collected prior to issuance of building
permits in accordance with the City's procedures;
That the site is located in Planning Area 21 of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, which is designated for Low Density Residential (7
units/acre) development and as conditioned will be physically
suitable for the type of development and proposed density of
development;
Go
That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements
are not likely to'cause substantial environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife in their habitat;
The proposed subdivision is not located within a 100-year flood
plain according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
map for the area dated August 9, 2002. The applicant is required to
pay fair-share contribution as part of the Tustin Legacy Backbone
infrastructure Program to satisfy the obligations identified in
Agreement No. D02-119 between the Orange County Flood Control
District and the City of Tustin related to the improvements required
of the Peters Canyon Channel adjacent to the project site.
The applicant will be required to provide funding towards the
project's fair share of Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
Program pursuant to the Disposition and Development Agreement
03-03 (DDA 03-03) for Parcel 34 to be tentatively considered by the
City Council on September 2, 2003;
That development of the site will require fee dedications along
Edinger Avenue and Harvard Avenue for improvements in the
public right-of-way for street improvements. There is a reasonable
relationship between the need for the dedications and the type of
development proposed as the dedication' area would provide direct
benefit to the future residents of the development by providing
Resolution No, 3885
TTM 16507
Page 3
access to the project and mitigating individual and cumulative traffic
impacts as identified in the FEIS/EIR that could be created by
development; and,
That a Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental
Impact Report for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific Plan
(FEIS/EIR) was prepared and certified, which considered the
development of Iow density development within Planning Area 21.
A checklist was prepared that finds all potential impacts of the
project were addressed by the certified FEIS/EIR and no additional
impacts have been identified; all applicable mitigation measures in
the FEIS/EIR have been included as conditions of approval. The
Planning Commission has adopted Resolution No. 3883
recommending that the City Council find that the FEIS/EIR for the
MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific Plan adequately addressed
all potential impacts related to the subdivision.
II.
The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council
approve Tentative Tract Map 16507 for the subdivision of a 36.84 (gross)
acre site into 143 numbered lots and 36 lettered lots for the purpose of
developing 189 residential units (138 single family units and 51 patio
home units), subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit A attached
hereto.

VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 16507, TO SUBDIVIDE 36.84 ACRES FOR
THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING 189 RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITHIN
PLANNING AREA 21 OF THE MCAS-TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
That a proper application for Tentative Tract Map No. 16507 was
submitted by John Laing Homes (WL Homes LLC) requesting
subdivision of a 36.84 acre (gross) area, owned by the City of Tustin,
143 numbered lots and 36 lettered lots for development of 189
residential units (136 single family detached units and 51 patio homes)
within Planning Area 21 of the MCAS-Tustin Specific Plan, generally
bounded by Edinger Avenue to the north, Moffett Avenue to the south,
Harvard Avenue to the east, the Peters Canyon Flood Control Channel
to the west, and;
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said map
on August 25, 2003, by the Planning Commission and the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 3884 approving Concept Plan 03-
002 for development of 189 Iow density residential units (138 single
family detached and 51 patio homes), and Resolution No. 3886
approving Design Review 03-018 for architectural/site design of the
project and Conditional Use Permit 03-016 for patio home
development, and Resolution No. 3885 recommending that the City
Council approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507;
That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for said
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16507 on September 15, 2003, by the City
Council;
That the proposed subdivision is in conformance with the Tustin Area
General Plan, MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, State Subdivision Map Act
and the City's Subdivision Code;
That the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan process included public
conveyance of approximately 35 acres of City parks and 85 acres of an
Urban Regional Park and individual developers were relieved of the
requirement to dedicate land for park purposes; however, the developer
is required to pay a parkland dedication in-lieu fee subject to the
parkland dedication requirements (Tustin City Code Section 9331),
which permits a credit for public recreational open space if affordable
City Council Resolution No. 03-113
September 15, 2003
Page 2
housing is being provided. The subdivider is providing 1.7 acres of
parkland in the proposed subdivision and has requested a waiver of
parkland dedication fees pursuant to Section 9931 d. of the Tustin City
Code for the 40 affordable housing units to be provided in the
subdivision and a credit for a minimum one (1) acre of parkland and
park facility improvements that will be provided and accessible to the
public through public easements on the development site;
That the proposed subdivision would not have an impact on school
district facilities within the Irvine Unified School District in that school
impacts for development were considered in the MCAS Reuse Plan
and in a 1996 "Agreement between the City of Tustin and Irvine Unified
School-District Regarding Transfer of School Site and other Mitigation
Measures" which identified a school facility site that will be conveyed to
the Irvine Unified School District by the Federal Department of
Education to serve development of property at the former MCAS
Tustin. The Agreement, the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, and the Final
Joint Program Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact
Report (FEIS/EIR) and conditions of approval of the proposed
subdivision also require proof of payment of appropriate school fees as
adopted by the Irvine Unified School District prior to issuance of
certificates of use and occupancy, which will be collected prior to
issuance of building permits in accordance with the City's procedures;
Go
That the site is located in Planning Area 21 of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan, which is designated for Low Density Residential (1-7
du/acre) development and is physically suitable for the type of
development and proposed density of development;
Ho
That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are
not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, cause serious
public health problems, or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife in their habitat;
The proposed subdivision is not located within a 100-year flood plain
according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency map for the
area dated August 9, 2002;
The applicant will be required to provide funding of the project's fair
share of Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure as required by
Disposition and Development Agreement 03-03 approved by the City
Council on September 15, 2003;
City Council Resolution No. 03-113
September 15, 2003
Page 3
That development of the site would require fee title dedications for
corner cut-offs at the intersection of Harvard Avenue and Edinger
Avenue and Harvard Avenue and Moffett Avenue, three (3) feet of
additional street right-of-way along Harvard Avenue for street widening,
and additional right-of-way along Moffett Avenue as may be required
for street alignment. There is a reasonable relationship between the
need for the dedications and the type of development proposed as the
dedication area would provide direct benefit to the future residents of
the development by providing access to the project and mitigating
individual and cumulative traffic impacts as identified in the FEIS/EIR
that could be created by development; and,
That a Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact
Report for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific Plan (FEIS/EIR)
was prepared and certified, which considered the development of Iow
density development within Planning Area 21. A checklist was prepared
that finds all potential impacts of the project were addressed by the
certified FEIS/EIR and no additional impacts have been identified; all
applicable mitigation measures in the FEIS/EIR have been included as
conditions of approval. The City Council by adopting Resolution No.
03-112, has approved the checklist and evaluation that finds all
potential impacts of the project were addressed by the certified
FEIS/EIR, no additional impacts have been identified, and all applicable
mitigation measures for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific
Plan adequately addressed all potential impacts related to the
subdivision and are included as conditions of approval of the
entitlements.
