REORGANIZATION NO. 53 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adoption of Resolution No. 83-10 initiating reorganization procedures and scheduling a protest hearing for March 21, 1983 for the territory easterly and westerly of the new Myford Road known as Reorganization No. 53. BACKGROUND: The realignment of boundaries between the cities of Tustin and Irvine was proposed in Environmental Impact Report 78-3 in connection with Annexation No. 117 in May 1979. The proposal was further discussed in the City of Irvine Environmental Impact Report for the Walnut Village General Plan Amendment No. 7 in 1980. There was concurrence among the cities of Irvine and Tustin and the Irvine Company that the realignment of Myford Road and the establishment of a common boundary on the'center line of the road from the City of Tustin northerly to the southerly limits through the easterly portion of the MCAS (H) would be in the best interest of the total community. This proposal was discussed with representatives of the U.S. Marine Corps during numerous meetings since 1979 and during several changes of command. The City of Tustin filed a Sphere of Influence amendment and reorganization proposal with the Local Agency Formation Co~m~ission on November 5, 1980. LAFCO approved the Sphere of Influence by Resolution No. 81-6 on January 14, 1981 and continued the proposed reorganization to obtain the concurrence of the U.S. Marine Corps. The proposal was continued at regular intervals subsequently in order to obtain the concurrence of the U.S. Marine Corps with the realigned city boundaries. On January 26, 1983 the Local Agency Formation Commission approved the proposed reorganization and directed the City of Tustin to be the conducting authority. DISCUSSION: The reorganization transfers 147 acres southerly of Moulton Parkway to the City of Irvine. This area is inhabited and includes the Military Family Housig along Harvard Road. The effect would be to separate the military housing from military operations by City jurisdiction. The City of Irvine would provide urban services to the family housing residents. The residents would have access to Irvine parks and recreation facilities. Irvine emergency services can provide a quicker response to the area with less travel time than Tustin. The residents use the Irvine streets to travel to E1 Toro and the most convenient commercial facilities are in the City of Irvine. An analysis of the proposal indicates that it would be of benefit to the Marine Corps personnel. A 96 acre undeveloped parcel northerly of Moulton Parkway would be transferred to the City of Tustin and would be incorporated into the industrial ~ark westerly of the alignment of Myford Road. Since this reorganization contains an inhabited area, the registered voters of the area are the controlling factor. If a protest to the reorganization is filed by the U.S. Marine Corps, an election would be required. Although the cities and Irvine Company were unable to gain the consent of the Marine Corps Commanding General to this proposed reorganization, there is no known reason that would justify a protest. The proposed reorganization is considered by the Local Agency Formation Commission, City of Tustin, City of Irvine and Irvine Company to be in the best interest of the total community and the'residents of the area. A hearing on the proposal is scheduled by Resolution No. 83-10 to be held on March 21, 1983.
