TUSTIN LEGACY CORNERSTONE I DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS TUSTIN LEGACY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered
into effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below) by and between the CITY OF TUSTIN,
a California municipal corporation ("City"), and FLIGHT VENTURE LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (as further defined in Section 1.1.28, "Developer"). The City and Developer are
collectively referred to herein as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party."
RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the
State of California adopted the "Development Agreement Statute," Section 65864 et seq., of the
Government Code. The Development Agreement Statute authorizes the City to enter into an
agreement with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property and to provide for
development of such property and to establish certain development rights therein. In addition,
Section 4.2.9 of the Specific Plan (as defined below) for MCAS Tustin states: "prior to issuance of
any permits or approval of any entitlements within the Specific Plan area, all private development
shall first obtain a Development Agreement in accordance with Section 65864 et seq. of the
Government Code and Sections 9600 to 9619 of the Tustin City Code." Pursuant to the
authorization set forth in the Development Agreement Statute, the City has enacted procedures for.
entering into development agreements which are contained in Tustin City Code Sections 9600 to
9619.
B. The City and Developer intend, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
to enter into the Tustin Legacy Disposition and Development Agreement Cornerstone I
(applicable to portions of Neighborhood E, also referred to as Planning Areas 9-12, of the Specific
Plan), as the same may be amended from time to time ("DDA") pursuant to which City shall agree
to sell, and Developer shall agree to buy and develop, certain real property, all as more specifically
set forth in the DDA.
Tustin Cornerstone I Development I City of Tustin/Cornerstone I
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
C. Pursuant to the DDA, Developer has an equitable and/or legal interest in the
Property (as defined below) in that it has the contractual right to purchase the Property from the
City for development of the Project (as defined below) in two phases, comprising Phase 1 and
Phase 2, as further described in the DDA.
D. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65864, the State Legislature has found and
determined that:
"(a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a
waste of resources, escalate the cost of... development to the consumer, and discourage
investment in and commitment to comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient
utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon approval of
the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in accordance with existing policies, rules
and regulations, and subject to conditions of approval, will strengthen the public planning process,
encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic costs of
development."
In accordance with the legislative findings set forth in Government Code Section 65864,
the City wishes to attain certain public objectives that will be furthered by this Agreement. This
Agreement will provide for the orderly implementation of the General Plan of the City ("General
Plan"), and the phased development and completion of the Project in accordance with the DDA
and the Specific Plan (as defined below). This Agreement will further a comprehensive planning
objective contained within the City's General Plan, which is:
"To promote an economically balanced community with complimentary and
buffered land uses to include industrial, commercial, professional, multi -family and single- family
development."
E. The DDA, the Specific Plan and the development under the DDA and the Specific
Plan require a substantial early investment of money and planning and design effort by Developer.
Without the protection provided by this Agreement, uncertainty that the Project may be completed
in its entirety could result in a waste of public resources, escalate the cost of public improvements,
and discourage Developer's participation in those certain public improvements specified in the
DDA and the Specific Plan. Developer's participation in the implementation of the DDA and the
Specific Plan will result in a number of public benefits. These benefits require the cooperation and
participation of the City and Developer and could not be secured without mutual cooperation in
and commitment to the comprehensive planning effort that has resulted in the DDA and the
Specific Plan.
F. Developer wishes to avoid certain development risks and uncertainties that would,
in the absence of this Agreement, deter and discourage Developer from making a commitment to
implement the DDA and the Specific Plan. These are as follows:
1. It is generally the law in California that, absent extraordinary
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 2 City of Tustin/Cornerstone I
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
circumstances or the approval of a vesting subdivision map, an owner of the land does not obtain a
vested right to improve land until the issuance of a building permit for the improvements and
commencement of substantial construction pursuant to that permit. The result is a disincentive for
landowners to invest monies in the early completion of major infrastructure and other public
improvements as part of any project or in early comprehensive planning and design studies.
2. Development under the DDA and the Specific Plan requires a substantial
early investment of money and planning and design effort by Developer. Uncertainty about City's
land use policies, rules and regulations could result in a waste of private resources, escalate the
cost of certain public improvements, and escalate costs of proposed commercial land uses.
G. The following assurances are of vital concern to Developer to offset or remove the
disincentives and uncertainties set forth in Paragraph F above:
1. Assurance to Developer that, in return for Developer's commitment to the
development of the Property that is contained in the DDA, any approved entitlements, and the
Specific Plan, the City will in turn remain committed to the Existing Entitlement Approvals (as
defined below);
2. Assurances to Developer that as Developer becomes obligated for the costs
of designing and constructing the public and private improvements included in the DDA and the
Specific Plan, and makes dedications, Developer will become entitled to rely upon the Vested
Rights (as defined below) in the development of the Property; and
3. Assurances to Developer that in the City's administration of the Existing
Entitlement Approvals, Developer will be allowed, consistent with the DDA and the Specific Plan,,,
to develop the commercial land uses and intensities identified in the DDA and the Specific Plan.
These assurances provide for cooperation and participation of the City and Developer and could
not be secured without mutual cooperation in and commitment to the comprehensive planning
effort that has resulted in the DDA and the Specific Plan.
H. The Development Agreement Statute authorizes local agencies to enter into
binding development agreements with persons having legal or equitable interests in real property
for the development of such property. The City wishes to enter into a development agreement with
Developer to secure the Public Benefits (as defined below) and additional consideration described
in this Agreement, and Developer wishes to enter into a development agreement with the City to
avoid the development risks and uncertainties and to obtain the assurances described above.
I. This Agreement is intended to be, and shall be construed as, a development
agreement within the meaning of the Development Agreement Statute. This Agreement is
intended to augment and further the purposes and intent of the Parties in the implementation of the
DDA and the Specific Plan. This Agreement, as a device for the implementation of the Existing
Entitlement Approvals and the Specific Plan, will eliminate uncertainty in planning for and secure
the orderly development of the Project, ensure a desirable and functional community environment,
provide effective and efficient development of public facilities, infrastructure, and services
appropriate for the development of the Project, assure attainment of the maximum effective
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 3 City of Tustin/Cornerstone I
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
utilization of resources within the City, and provide other significant public benefits to the City
and its residents by otherwise achieving the goals and purposes of the Development Agreement
Statute. In exchange for these benefits to the City, Developer desires to receive the assurance that
it may proceed with development of the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Applicable Rules, all as more particularly set forth herein.
J. The City has determined that this Agreement and the Project are consistent with the
General Plan and the Specific Plan and that this Agreement complies with the findings established
by Tustin City Code Section 9611, in that the Agreement:
1. Is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs
specified in the General Plan and the Specific Plan.
2. Is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the real
property is located (variously described as Planning Area 9-12 and Neighborhood E of the Specific
Plan). Note: the Project (as defined below) complies with the uses authorized by the Specific
Plan.
3. Is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general
welfare, and good land use practices. Note: the Project will enhance community development,
provide commercial and retail uses within walking distance of existing and planned housing,
support economic development and activity in the vicinity of the Project.
4. Will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare. Note:
compliance with the Specific Plan, Tustin City Code, and other regulations will ensure that the
Project will not be detrimental in any way.
5. Will not adversely affect the orderly development of property. Note: the
Project is orderly and well designed.
6. Will have a positive fiscal impact on the City. Note: the provisions of the
DDA will ensure that the Project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City.

Agreement, made certain findings and determinations with respect thereto, and recommended to

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
3.1 Public Benefits. This Agreement provides assurances that the Project described by
this Agreement will be achieved and developed in accordance with the Applicable Rules and this
Agreement, and subject to the City's Reservation of Authority. The Parties believe that such
orderly development of the Project will provide the benefits to the City and additional regional
public benefits, including: increased tax revenues, installation of on-site 'and off-site
improvements, and creation and retention of jobs. In addition Developer will provide the
following additional Public Benefits which constitute specific additional consideration for this
Agreement for the benefit of the City:
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 21
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
City of Tustin/Cornerstone I
3.1.1 Community Facilities District Formation. The City has previously
established a Community Facilities District for Tustin Legacy ("AD/CFD") that includes the
Property within its boundaries. -
(a) Capital Facilities. Developer acknowledges and agrees that its
development plan for the Project will not require use of community facility district proceeds,
including proceeds from the AD/CFD and that neither assessment district nor community facilities
district proceeds will be used to reimburse Developer for its development costs in connection with
the Project, including Project Fair_Share Contribution or Project specific construction or
infrastructure costs. Accordingly, Developer waives its right to fund all or any portion of the
development of the Project pursuant to a Community Facilities District, including pursuant to any
Special Tax for the development of facilities within the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
Program pursuant to the existing AD/CFD ("Tax A"), and the City agrees that Tax A shall not be
applicable to the Property or the Improvements thereon and Developer shall have no obligation or
liability on account thereof. The City agrees that neither the Property nor the Improvements shall
be subject to or encumbered by Tax A because Developer's obligation to pay the fair share of the
Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program shall be satisfied by payment of the Purchase
Price under the DDA and Section 3.1.2 below (which Purchase Price is inclusive of the obligation
to pay the Developer's fair share of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program with
respect to the Project).
(b) Tax B. As part of the AD/CFD the City has previously established
Special Tax `B" pursuant to AD/CFD 13-01 ("Tax B"), the proceeds of which shall be used by the
City to fund a portion of the City essential services, including police and fire protection,
ambulance and paramedic services,_ recreation programs and services, street sweeping, traffic
signal maintenance and the maintenance of City -owned. parks, parkways and open spaces, lighting,
flood control and storm drain services and other City services and facilities at Tustin Legacy. Tax
B is and shall be a tax and lien upon the Property and the Improvements in accordance with the
terms of the instruments governing the AD/CFD and Tax B and the term of Tax.B imposed upon
the Property and the Improvements is and shall be perpetual and shall not be time limited in any
manner unless determined by the City in its sole discretion. Developer and each Successor In
Interest of Developer shall pay the Tax B amounts due with respect to the Property when due to the
City. Tax B shall be in lieu of any other assessments,.special taxes, fees or charges that may
otherwise be charged on account of the types of services covered thereby. Developer
acknowledges that the term of Tax B imposed upon the Property and the Improvements thereon
does not contain a fixed termination date, and that the City ordinance adopting Tax B provides that
it shall continue as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Service set forth in
the City ordinance adopting Tax B.
. (c) No Further Restrictions. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 3.1.1(a) and (b), the City shall not be prohibited by the terms of this Agreement from,
subjecting the Property and/or the Improvements thereon to any increase in ad valorem real
property tax pursuant to a City of Tustin -wide election, provided that nothing herein shall be
construed to constitute a waiver by Developer of its right or ability to dispute or oppose passage of
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 22 City of Tustin/Cornerstone I
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
a City of Tustin -wide bond or tax, the proposed formation or amendment of any special district or
taxing authority, or the imposition of any such tax by such special district or taxing authority, or
any amendment to the Rate and Method of Apportionment for Tax B, or its right to dispute the
assessed valuation of all or any portion of the Property owned by it.
3.1.2 Project Fair Share Contribution. The Purchase Price for the Property under
the DDA is inclusive of the obligation to pay the Project Fair Share Contribution with respect to
the Project and accordingly, upon payment in full of the Purchase Price under the DDA, Developer
shall be credited in full with payment of its fair share of the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
Program fees comprising the Project Fair Share Contribution and thereafter no further obligation
shall be imposed on Developer of the Project in connection with the Tustin Legacy Backbone
Infrastructure Program.
3.1.3 Public Benefit Improvements. Developer shall complete the Public Benefit
Improvements listed on Exhibit "C" within the time periods set forth therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment under this
Section is not made or any obligation requiring performance is not performed by Developer, the
City may withhold further issuance of building permits and other approvals, including final maps,
for the Project until such time as Developer has made the required payment or undertaken the
required performance.
3.2 Developer Objectives. In accordance with the legislative findings set forth in
Government Code Section 65864, the Developer wishes to obtain reasonable assurances that the
Project may be developed in accordance with the Applicable Rules and Existing Entitlement
Approvals and with the terms of this. Agreement and subject to the City's Reservation of
Authority. To the extent of Project deelopment, and as provided by Section 3.5.2, Developer
anticipates making capital expenditures or causing capital expenditures to be made in reliance
upon the DDA and this Agreement. In the absence of this Agreement, Developer would have no
assurance that it can complete the Project for the uses and to the density and intensity of
development set forth in this Agreement and the Existing Entitlement Approvals. This
Agreement, therefore, is necessary to assure Developer that the Project will not be (1) reduced or
otherwise modified in density, intensity or use from what is set forth in the Existing Entitlement
Approvals, (2) subjected to new rules, regulations, ordinances or official policies or plans except
for Future Rules made applicable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3.3 Mutual Objectives. Development of the Project in accordance with this
Development Agreement will provide for the orderly development of the Property in accordance
with the objectives set forth in the General Plan and the Specific Plan. Moreover, a development
agreement for the Project will eliminate uncertainty in planning for and securing orderly
development of the Property, assure installation of necessary improvements, assure attainment of
maximum efficient resource utilization within the City at the least economic cost to its citizens and
otherwise achieve the goals and purposes established by Government Code Section 65864.
Additionally, although development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement will restrain
the City's land use or other relevant police powers, this Agreement provides the City with
sufficient reserved powers during the Term to remain responsible and accountable to its residents.
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 23 City of Tustin/Comerstone I
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
In exchange for these and other benefits.to the City, the Developer will receive assurance that the
Project may be developed during the Term of this Agreement in accordance with the Applicable
Rules, Entitlement Approvals and Reservation of Authority, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
3.4 Applicability of the Agreement. This Agreement does not: (a) grant density or
intensity in excess of that otherwise, established in the Existing Entitlement Approvals;
(b) eliminate future discretionary actions relating to the Project that are either required by the
Applicable Rules or requested by Developer pursuant to applications initiated and submitted by
Developer after the Effective Date; (c), guarantee that Developer will receive any profits from the
Project; (d) amend the DDA, the Other Agreements, the Specific Plan or the General Plan or
(e) protect the Developer, the Project or the Property from the applicability of any increases in
development fees or City Processing Fees. In addition, except as specifically set forth in Sections
3.6.2 and 3. 10, this Agreement does not protect the Developer, the Project or the Property from the
applicability of any Future Rules (i) imposed pursuant to the City's Reservation of Authority or (ii)
if not imposed pursuant to the City's Reservation of Authority, adopted by the City and not in
conflict (as defined in Section 3.6.2) with Existing Land Use Regulations.
3.5 Agreement and Assurance on the Part of the Developer. In consideration for the
City's entering into this Agreement, and as an inducement for City to obligate itself to carry out the
covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to effectuate the premises,
purposes and intentions set forth in this Agreement, Developer hereby agrees as follows:
3.5.1 Project Development. Developer agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts, in accordance with its own business judgment and taking into account market
conditions and economic considerations, to undertake any development of the Project in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the DDA, this Agreement and the Existing
Entitlement Approvals.
3.5.2 Additional Obligations of Developer as Consideration for this Agreement.

Developer in this Agreement and the resulting construction of the Project will result in the
following:

3.6 Agreement and Assurances on the Part of City. In consideration for Developer

permitted by law, as to each Phase, Developer has the vested right for the Term applicable to such
Phase to develop the Project subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Applicable
Rules, state and federal law, and the Existing Entitlement Approvals and any Subsequent
Entitlement Approvals approved by the City, in each case subject to the City's Reservation of
Authority and subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in the DDA and the Other
Agreements. Other than as expressly set forth herein, during the Term applicable to each Phase,
the terms and conditions of development applicable to such Phase of the Property, including the
permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, maximum height and size of
proposed buildings, the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications
applicable to the development of the Property, including any changes authorized pursuant to
Section 3.6.2, the subdivision of land and requirements for infrastructure and public
improvements, other terms and conditions of the Project, and the provisions for the reservation and
dedication of land as needed for public purposes pursuant to Governmental Requirements, shall be
those set forth in the DDA and the Other Agreements, the Applicable Rules, and the Entitlement
Approvals. In connection therewith and subject to the terms of this Agreement including the
Reservation of Authority, Developer shall have the Vested Right to carry out and develop the
Property in accordance with the Applicable Rules and the Entitlement Approvals and the
provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3.10.4..
3.6.2 Changes Authorized by the CitX. To the extent any changes in the Existing
Land Use Regulations, or any provisions of future General Plans, Specific Plans, Tustin City Code
or other rules, regulations, ordinances or policies of the City (whether adopted by means of
ordinance, initiative, referenda, resolution, policy, order, moratorium, or other means, adopted by
the City Council, Planning Commission, or any other board, commission, agency, committee, or
department of the City, or any officer or employee thereof) following the Effective Date
(collectively, "Future Rules") are not in conflict with the Vested Rights, such Future Rules shall be
applicable to the Project. For purposes of this Section 3.6.2, the word "conflict" means Future
Rules that would (a) frustrate in a more than insignificant way the intent or purpose of the
Applicable Rules in relation to the Project; (b) materially increase the cost of performance of, or
preclude compliance with, any provision of the Vested Right; (c) delay in a more than insignificant
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 25 City of Tustin/Cornerstone I
Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
way development of the Project; (d) limit or restrict the availability of public utilities, services,
infrastructure of facilities (for example, but not by way of limitation, water rights, water
connection or sewage capacity rights, sewer connections, etc.) to the Project; (e) impose limits or
controls in the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development of the Project; (f) limit the
permitted uses of the Property from those permitted by the Existing Entitlement Approvals, the
DDA and the Other Agreements; (g) reduce ' the maximum height or size of any permitted
buildings; or (h) impose additional obligations in connection with the reservation or dedication of
land for public purposes beyond the requirements identified in the DDA from those permitted by
the Entitlement Approvals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Future Rule that conflicts with the Applicable Rules
shall nonetheless apply to the Property if, and only if one of the following apply: (i) it is consented
to in writing by Developer; (ii) it is determined by the City and evidenced through findings
adopted by the City Council that the change or provision is reasonably required in order to prevent
a condition dangerous to the public health or safety as set forth in Section 3.10.2; (iii) it is required
by changes in State or Federal law as set forth in Section 3.10.1; (iv) it consists of revisions to, or
new building regulations permitted by Section 3.10.3; or (v) it is otherwise expressly permitted by

Agreement 9-15-2016 (PC) final
3.7 Effect of Agreement on Subsequent Entitlement Approvals. The City shall accept
for processing and review and take action on all applications for Subsequent Entitlement
Approvals as provided in Section 3.9. In connection with any Subsequent Entitlement Approval,
the City shall exercise discretion in the same manner as it exercises its discretion under its police
powers, including the Reservation of Authority; provided however, that such discretion shall not
prevent development of the Project as set forth in this Agreement.
3.8 Timing of Development. The timing of development will be as set forth in the
DDA. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo
(1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of
development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail
over such parties' agreement, it is the Parties' intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and
providing that Developer will adhere to the terms of the DDA regarding the timing of
development.
3.9 Subsequent Entitlement Approvals; Changes and Amendments.
3.9.1 The Parties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the
Project may require Subsequent Entitlement Approvals and may demonstrate that changes are
appropriate and desirable in the Existing Entitlement Approvals. Entitlement Approvals (except
for this Agreement, the amendment process for which is set forth in Section 2.5) may be amended
or modified from time to time, but only at the written request of Developer or with the written
consent of Developer (at its sole and absolute discretion). All amendments to the Entitlement
Approvals shall automatically become part of the Applicable Rules.
3.9.2 In the event Developer finds that a change in, or addition to, the Existing
Entitlement Approvals is necessary or appropriate, Developer shall apply for a Subsequent
Entitlement Approval to effectuate such change or addition and the City shall process and act on
such application in accordance with the Applicable Rules, except as otherwise provided by this
Agreement, including the Reservation of Authority. If approved, any such change in, or addition
to, the Existing Entitlement Approvals shall thereafter be deemed to be an Existing Entitlement
Approval and a Vested Right for all purposes of this Agreement without requiring an amendment
to this Agreement and may be further changed, or added to, from time to time as provided in this
Section.
3.9.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Developer
acknowledges that the Concept Plans and Design Review granted with respect to the Project prior
to the Effective Date are applicable to Phase 1 only. The Concept Plans and Design Review as to
Phase 2 are illustrative in nature; accordingly, Subsequent Entitlement Approval comprised of
Design Review approval shall be required as a condition precedent to Phase 2 development. The
City Community Development Department shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether
consideration of such approvals shall be made by director's determination or by referral to the City
Planning Commission. In all cases, such approvals shall be subject to the provisions of the Tustin
City Code regarding appeal.
Tustin Cornerstone I Development 27 City of Tustin/Comerstone I

3.10 Reservation of Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the Future Rules described in this Section 3.10 shall apply to and govern
development of the Property and Project to the extent set forth herein.
3.10.1 Overriding State and Federal Laws. The City shall not be precluded from
adopting and applying Future Rules to the Property and the development of the Project to the
extent that such Future Rules are required to be applied by State or Federal laws or regulations and
which would override Developer's Vested Rights as set forth in this Agreement, provided
however, that (a) Developer does not waive its right to challenge or contest the validity of such
State or Federal rules or regulations; and (b) such Future Rules, if otherwise in conflict with the
Vested Rights (as described in Section 3.6.2) shall only be applied to the Project and development
of the Project to the extent necessary to comply with such new State or Federal law or regulation.
In the event that such State or Federal law or regulation (or Future Rules undertaken pursuant
thereto) prevents or precludes substantial compliance with one or more provisions of the Existing
Land Use Regulations or this Agreement, the Parties agree to consider in good faith amending or
suspending such provisions of this Agreement as may be necessary to comply with such State or
Federal laws (or Future Rules), provided that no Party shall be bound to approve any amendment
to this Agreement unless this Agreement is amended in accordance with the procedures applicable
to the adoption of development agreements as set forth in the Development Agreement Statute and
Tustin City Code and each Party retains full discretion with respect thereto.
3.10.2 Public Health and Safety. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the
City Council from adopting and applying Future Rules that the City Council finds are reasonably
necessary to protect persons on the Property or in the immediate community, or both, from
conditions dangerous to their health or safety notwithstanding that the applications of such Future
Rules or other similar limitation would result in the impairment of Developer's Vested Rights
under the Agreement or the Existing Land Use Regulations. In determining whether any such
Future Rules are reasonably necessary to protect persons as set forth above, the City Council shall
make findings, based on evidence presented to and accepted by the City Council that the changes
are reasonably necessary to protect the public health or safety. The provisions of this
Section 3.10.2 do not apply to any measure adopted by initiative.
3.10.3 Uniform Construction Codes and Regulations. Policies and rules governing
engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and private
improvements, including all uniform codes adopted by the City and any local amendments to those
codes adopted by the City in the future shall apply to the Project and Property.
3.10.4 Police Power. In all respects not provided for in this Agreement, the City
shall retain full rights to exercise its police powers to regulate development of the Project and
Property. Any uses or development requiring a concept plan, design review, tentative tract map,
conditional use permit, variance, or other Entitlement Approvals in accordance with Existing Land
Use Regulations shall require a permit or approval pursuant to this Agreement and
notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to vest
Developer's right to issuance of such permit or approval.

3.11 Processing.
3.11.1 Subdivisions. A subdivision, as defined in Government Code
Section 66473.7, shall not be approved unless a tentative map for the subdivision complies with
the provisions of said Section 66473.7. This provision is included in this Agreement to comply
with Section 65867.5 of the Government Code.
3.11.2 Subsequent Entitlement Approvals. The City shall employ all lawful
actions capable of being undertaken by the City to promptly (a) accept all complete applications
for Subsequent Entitlement Approvals (collectively, "Applications") and (b) process and take
action upon Applications in accordance with the Applicable Rules with a goal of completing the
review within time frames identified in the DDA; provided however, that the City shall not be
deemed in default under this Agreement should such time frame(s) not be met. To the extent that
Developer desires that the City plan check or process an Application on an expedited basis and to
the extent that it requires an additional expense beyond the customary expense applicable to the
general public, the City shall inform Developer of such additional expense, including the cost of
overtime and private consultants and other third parties. If acceptable to Developer, Developer
shall pay the additional cost and the City shall use good faith efforts to accelerate the processing
time utilizing overtime and the services of private consultants and third parties to the extent
available. Upon the written request of Developer, the City shall inform Developer of the necessary
application requirements for any requested City approval or requirement relating to the Project.
3.11.3 Filings. Developer shall exercise reasonable efforts to file applications for
Development Permits and Entitlement Approvals within the time frames and schedules as
generally outlined in the DDA and shall exercise reasonable efforts to attempt to obtain
Development Permits and Entitlement Approvals within the time frames identified in the DDA;
provided, however, that failure solely to comply with such time frame(s) shall not be deemed to be
a default under this Agreement.
3.11.4 Cooperation. The City and Developer shall cooperate in processing all
applications for permits and approvals for the Project, provided, however, that such cooperation
shall not include any obligation of the City to incur any un -reimbursed expense, and the City shall
be entitled, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the DDA and Developer's rights hereunder, to
exercise all discretion to which it is entitled by law in processing and issuing any permits and
approvals for the Project.
3.11.5 Approvals. Notwithstanding any administrative or judicial proceedings,
initiative or referendum concerning any of the Entitlement Approvals, the City shall process
applications for permits and approvals as provided herein to the fullest extent allowed by law and
Developer may proceed at its sole risk with development of the Project pursuant to the DDA, the
Other Agreements, the Applicable Rules and Entitlement Approvals to the fullest extent allowed
by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City reserves
its discretion to approve or disapprove all Subsequent Entitlement Approvals with respect to the
Project and that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as circumventing or limiting the

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Flight at Tustin Legacy
BACKGROUND
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the program Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the reuse and disposal of MCAS Tustin.
On December 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 04-76 approving a Supplement
to the FEIS/EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and the future
alignment of Valencia North Loop Road. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 06-43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR and, on May 13, 2013, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 13-32 approving a Second Addendum to the FEIS/EIR. The FEIS/EIR
along with its Addendums and Supplement is a program EIR under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement considered the potential
environmental impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station,
Tustin.
The FEIS/EIR, Supplement, and Addendums analyzed the environmental consequences of the
Navy disposal and local community reuse of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin site
per the Reuse Plan and the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan (Specific Plan). The CEQA
analysis also analyzed the environmental impacts of certain "Implementation Actions" that the
City of Tustin and City of Irvine must take to implement the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan proposed, and the FEIS/EIR analyzed, a multi-year
development period for the planned urban reuse project (Tustin Legacy). When individual
discretionary activities within the Specific Plan are proposed, the lead agency is required to
examine the individual activities to determine if their effects were fully analyzed in the FEIS/EIR.
The agency can approve the activities as being within the scope of the project covered by the
FEIS/EIR. If the agency finds that pursuant to Sections 15162, 15163, 15164, 15168 and 15183
of the CEQA Guidelines no new effects would occur, nor would a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects occur, then no supplemental or subsequent
EIR is required.
Tustin Legacy is located in central Orange County and approximately 40 miles southeast of
downtown Los Angeles. Tustin Legacy is that portion of the former MCAS Tustin within the City
of Tustin corporate boundaries. Owned and operated by the Navy and Marine Corps for nearly
60 years, approximately 1,585 gross acres of property at MCAS Tustin were determined surplus
to federal government needs, and MCAS Tustin was officially closed in July 1999. The majority
of the former MCAS Tustin lies within the southern portion of the City of Tustin. The remaining
approximately 73 acres lies within the City of Irvine. Tustin Legacy is in close proximity to four
major freeways: the Costa Mesa (SR -55), Santa Ana (1-5), Laguna (SR -133) and San Diego
(1-405). Tustin Legacy is also served by the west leg of the Eastern Transportation Corridor
(SR 261). The major roadways bordering Tustin Legacy include Red Hill Avenue on the
northwest, Edinger Avenue- and Irvine Center Drive on the northeast, Harvard Avenue on the
southeast, and Barranca Parkway on the southwest. Jamboree Road transects the Property.
John Wayne Airport is located approximately three miles to the south and a Metrolink Commuter

serve local commercial developments. The balance of the Project is expected to be constructed
in one future phase, which may be further broken out into two sub -phases. The buildings will
range from three to five stories. The Project will be fully consistent with the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan and is within the Specific Plan Planning Area 9-12's authorization of 1,267,324
buildable square feet of commercial floor area. The Project will include biofiltration planter
boxes and/or basins placed along the perimeters of buildings and in other appropriate areas
throughout the project site in order to detain and treat stormwater. A Modular Wetland System
will also be placed along streets to provide for additional biofiltration treatment.
Project approvals will include: vesting tentative tract map; development and building permits
(including, without limitation, grading, mechanical, electrical and plumbing permits); conditional
use permits for joint -use parking, on-site alcoholic beverage sales / ancillary live entertainment,
and added height for screened mechanical equipment; a concept plan; design review; minor
modification for reduction in parking and increased building height; all required approvals by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board and the County of Orange Health Department; a
Development Agreement; and a Disposition and Development Agreement. An Environmental
Analysis Checklist has been completed and it has been determined that the Project is within the
scope of the previously approved FEIS/EIR and that- pursuant to Title 14 California Code of
Regulations Sections 15162 and 15168(c), no new effects could occur, and no new mitigation
measures would be required. Accordingly, no new environmental document is required by
CEQA.
The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the
Environmental Analysis Checklist.
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?

No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. Specifically, the Proposed Project
would not cause aesthetic impacts that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR,
Addendums, and Supplement. The Project proposes to permit uses that were previously
analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. Therefore, the Project would not change the future
development condition that was analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and there would be no change
to development intensity, building height restrictions (including allowed minor
modifications of 10% pursuant to the terms of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan), setbacks,
signage, and other development standards compared to that analyzed in the FEIS/EIR,
and the Project will comply with all requirements of the MCAS Specific Plan governing
project design. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific or
cumulative impacts with regard to aesthetics and visual quality that would occur as a
result of the implementation of the Project. The minor modification and conditional use
permit to allow additional building height and mechanical equipment represent de
minimis changes that would not be visible from off-site public locations and, additionally,
mechanical screening would be screened to further ensure there are no adverse visual
impacts. There is no new information relative to aesthetics and visual quality that was
not ,in rexistence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Proposed
Project and is implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. No new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to aesthetics and visual quality.
The implementation of the Project would continue the visual change from the abandoned
military facilities onsite to residential, commercial, industrial and institutional uses and
development. This visual change, as part of the overall visual change of the former base
to the larger Tustin Legacy development was not a significant impact in the FEIS/EIR.
There are no designated scenic vistas in the Project area; therefore, the Project would
not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. The Project Site is also not
located within the vicinity of a designated state scenic highway. The Project would not
change the conclusions of the historical analysis. of the historic blimp hangars from the
FEIS/EIR relative to visual changes since the Proposed Project would not affect these
hangars.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to aesthetics. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR were certified
as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. No new impacts or substantially more severe aesthetic
impacts would result from the adoption and implementation of the Project; therefore, no
new or revised mitigation measures are required for aesthetics and visual quality. No
refinements related to the Project are necessary to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

and no new mitigation measures are required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement; applicable measures
are included as conditions of entitlement approvals.

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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
There were no agricultural uses on the Site in the recent past. There are currently no
agricultural uses on the Site. The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to
agriculture and forest resources that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR,
Addendums, and Supplement. There are no new or increased significant adverse
project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to agricultural resources that are
identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. The impacts of
the implementation of the Specific Plan are already analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. There is
no new information relative to agricultural resources that was not in existence at the time
the FEIS/EIR was prepared. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in
relation to impacts to agricultural resources.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with

regard to agricultural resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. In certifying the FEIS/EIR, the Tustin City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations on January 16,
2001 concluding that impacts to agricultural resources on other areas of MCAS Tustin
were unavoidable (Resolution No. 00-90). No mitigation is required.

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 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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
i
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 18
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to air quality that were not previously
analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. There would be no change to
the allowed development intensity, building height restrictions, setbacks, signage, other
development standards or vehicle trips that would lead to increased air emissions from
vehicle trips. An access analysis prepared for the project confirms that the Proposed
Project would generate fewer trips than the maximum allowed within Neighborhood E of
the MCAS Specific Plan and that were described and analyzed in Addendum 1. There
are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with
regard to air quality that would occur as a result of the adoption and implementation of
the Project that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. There is no new
information relative to air quality that was not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was
prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with and
previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. As a result, no new
mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to air quality.
The Tustin City Council adopted Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations
for the FEIS/EIR on January 16, 2001 to address significant unavoidable short-term
(construction), long-term (operational), and cumulative air quality impacts for the Specific
Plan. The City also adopted mitigation measures to reduce these unavoidable adverse
impacts.
Consistent with the findings in the FEIS/EIR, implementation of future development on
the Project Site could result in significant unavoidable short-term construction air quality
impacts because it is part of the "project' analyzed in the FEIS/EIR for which this finding
was made. Construction activities associated with the Project Site were previously
addressed in the FEIS/EIR. There is no substantial new information that shows there
will be different or more significant short-term air quality impacts on the environment
from the Project than described in the FEIS/EIR. There is no substantial new
information that shows there will be different or more significant long-term and/or
cumulative impacts on the environment as a result of the Project than described in the
FEIS/EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to air quality. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as
complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement; applicable measures are
included as conditions of entitlement approvals. However, the FEIS/EIR, Addendums,
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 19
and Supplement also concluded that Specific 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 of Fish 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?
s
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat
conservation plan?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to biological resources that were not
previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. The Project
proposes to develop the same areas as proposed in the Specific Plan and previously
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 20
analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -
specific or cumulative impacts with regard to biological resources that would occur as a
result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no new information
relative to biological resources that was not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was
prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with the
FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts on
biological resources. Based on : current delineations of wetlands and jurisdictional
waters, the Project will not affect wetlands or jurisdictional waters. The impacts resulting
from the implementation of the Project, if any, would be those identified in the FEIS/EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to biological resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that `require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required. No mitigation is required.

V. 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?
c) 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?

Page 21
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development allowed
by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to cultural resources that were not
previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. The Project
proposes to develop the same areas as proposed in the Specific Plan and previously
analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. The impacts of the Specific Plan on cultural resources,
including any that may be present on the Project Site, were considered in the FEIS/EIR.
It is possible that previously unidentified buried archeological or paleontological
resources within the Project Site could be discovered during grading and other
construction activities. Consequently, future development is required to perform
construction monitoring for cultural and paleontological resources to reduce potential
impacts to these resources to a level of insignificance as found in the FEIS/EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to cultural and paleontological resources. Specifically, there have not been:
(1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: — Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures -to potential substantial adverse effects, including
the 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?
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?
No Substantia/ Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
Implementation of the Project would not cause any direct impacts to geology and soils.
The Project proposes to develop the same areas as proposed in the Specific Plan and
previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. There are no new
or increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to
geology and soils that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the
Project. There is no new information relative to geology and soils that was not in
existence at the time the FEIS/EIR as prepared. Therefore, the Proposed Project and its
implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to geology and soils.
The FEIS/EIR found that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of
the Specific Plan would include non -seismic hazards (such as local settlement, regional
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 23
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). The FEIS/EIR 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 geotechnical issues.
No substantial change is expected during implementation of the Project from the
analysis previously completed in the certified FEIS/EIR.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental ER or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to geology and soils. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.

VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: — 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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 24
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The entire MCAS Tustin site was reviewed for hazardous materials prior to start of
redevelopment activities. Federal regulations require the Navy to complete remediation
of hazardous materials prior to conveyance of properties to other landowners.
The FEIS/EIR included a detailed discussion of the historic and then -current hazardous
material use and hazardous waste generation within the Specific Plan area. The Navy is
responsible for planning and executing environmental restoration programs in response
to releases of hazardous substances for MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR concluded that
the implementation of the Specific Plan would not have a significant environmental
impact from the hazardous wastes, substances, and materials on the property during
construction or operation since the Navy would implement various remedial actions
pursuant to the Compliance Programs that would remove, manage, or isolate potentially
hazardous substances in soils and groundwater. As identified in the FEIS/EIR, the
Project Site is within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) and
is subject to height restrictions. The Proposed Project does not propose changes to (or
exceedances of) the maximum 100 -foot height limitation included in the Specific Plan.
The Project Site is not located in a wildland fire hazard area.
Implementation of the Project will not cause any direct impacts to hazards and
hazardous materials. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific
or cumulative impacts with regards to hazards and hazardous materials that are
identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no new
information relative to hazards and hazardous materials that was not in existence at the
time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 25
consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in
relation to impacts from hazards and hazardous materials.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to hazards and hazardous materials. Specifically, there have not been:
(1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the

VIII. 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
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 26
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?
k) Potentially impact stormwater runoff from construction activities?
1) Potentially impact stormwater runoff from post -construction activities?
m) Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater pollutants from areas of
material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment maintenance
(including washing), waste handling, -hazardous materials handling or storage,
delivery areas, loading docks or other outdoor work areas?
n) Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater to affect the beneficial uses
of the receiving waters?
o) Create the potential for significant changes in the flow velocity or volume of
stormwater runoff to cause environmental harm?
p) Create significant increases in erosion of the project site or surrounding
areas?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to hydrology and water quality. There
would be no change to development intensity, building height restrictions (including
minor height modifications of .10% and 10% reduction in parking allowed by the MCAS
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 27
Tustin Specific Plan), setbacks, signage, and other development standards. There are
no new or increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with
regard to hydrology/water quality that are identified as a result of the adoption and
implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to hydrology/water
quality that was not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the
Project and its implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new
mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to hydrology/water quality.
As concluded in the FEIS/EIR, preparation of a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) for future development projects on the Project sites in compliance with all
applicable regulatory standards would reduce water quality impacts from development
activities to a level of insignificance. The Project has prepared such a WQMP.
Therefore, the Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts to
water quality than what was previously identified in the FEIS/EIR. No increase in
development intensity is proposed as part of the Project. Future development will be
required to comply with Specific Plan development standards, including FAR and
landscaping and would require preparation of a WQMP. The Proposed Project would
not result in an increase of impervious surface area from the amount that was previously
analyzed in the Specific Plan. The Project proposes no change to the drainage pattern
and water management systems previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. The drainage
pattern and water management systems in the` Project Site vicinity would remain
consistent with the Tustin Legacy Master Drainage Plan. Therefore, the analysis and
conclusions in the FEIS/EIR relative to impacts related to groundwater supply,
groundwater levels, or local recharge have not changed. In addition, no change to the
backbone drainage system is proposed. Therefore, no new or more severe impacts
related to drainage patterns, drainage facilities, and, potential flooding would result from
the Project.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to hydrology and water quality. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to
the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new
information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures
or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR
was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement; applicable measures are
included as conditions of entitlement approvals.

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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to land use and planning. There would
be no change to development intensity, building height restrictions (including minor
height modifications of 10% and 10% reduction in parking allowed by the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan), setbacks, signage, and other development standards. There are no new
or increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to
land use and planning that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation
of the Project. There is no new information relative to land use and planning that was
not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its
implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to land use planning.
Implementation of the Project would not physically divide any Specific Plan land use,
conflict with the Specific Plan, or conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other

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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
There are no known mineral resources located at the site. The Project would not cause
new impacts to mineral resources that were not previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR,
Addendums, and Supplement. There are no new or increased significant adverse
project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to mineral resources that are identified
as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no new
information relative to mineral resources that was not in existence at the time the
FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent
with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to
impacts to mineral resources.

XI. NOISE: Would the project:
a) 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?,
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The ambient noise environment on the site is influenced by the surrounding roadways,
existing uses, and aircraft noise from flight operations at John Wayne Airport. However,
none of these exterior noise sources would impact the project beyond levels analyzed
and described by the FEIR/EIS, and the project would be able to achieve the interior
noise standards set forth in Section 5.507.4 of the California Green Building Standards
Code.
Implementation of the Project will not cause any direct impacts to noise. There would be
no change to development intensity, traffic generation building height restrictions
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 31
(including minor height modifications of less than 10% allowed by the MCAs Tustin
Specific Plan), setbacks, signage, and other development standards. No new or
increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to noise
are identified as a result of the approval and implementation of the Project. There is no
new information relative to noise that was not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was
prepared. Therefore, the Proposed Project and its implementation are consistent with
the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to
impacts to noise.
The Project would not modify the noise -related land use distribution within the Tustin
Legacy site. All proposed land uses were included in the Specific Plan. Consequently,
long-term traffic -related noise impacts associated with implementation of the Project
have previously been identified and analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. Short-term noise impacts
were also analyzed in the previously certified FEIS/EIR; implementation of any future
project would be required to comply with applicable adopted mitigation measures and
state and local regulations and standards, along with established engineering
procedures and techniques, thus avoiding significant short-term construction -related
noise impacts.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to noise. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the. Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR were certified

XII. 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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to housing and any associated
population. There is no new information relative to population and housing that was not
in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Proposed Project
and its implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to population and housing.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other

measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.

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:
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not cause impacts to public services. There would be no
change to the permitted levels of development intensity, which would lead to an
increased demand for public services. There are no new or increased significant
adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to public services and
facilities that are identified as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project.
There is no new information relative to public services and facilities that was not in
existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared. Therefore, the Project and its
implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a result, no new mitigation
measures are required in relation to impacts to public services and facilities.
Fire Protection
Fire protection for the Tustin Legacy Site was discussed and analyzed in the FEIS/EIR.
The Project results in no changes to that previous analysis, and no increased or new
environmental effects on the environment from those previously analyzed in the
FEIS/EIR.
The Project will be subject to OCFA regulations regarding construction materials and
methods, emergency access, water mains, fire flow, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems,
building setbacks, and other relevant regulations. Adherence to these regulations will
reduce the risk of uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire
protection services to the Site. Pursuant to the FEIS/EIR, the existing fire stations in the
Project vicinity with additional firefighting personnel and equipment will meet the
demands created by the Project and other development within Tustin Legacy. No new
or expanded facilities were identified as being required and therefore no physical
impacts were identified.
Police Protection
Police protection for the project site was discussed and analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. The
Project results in no changes to that previous analysis, and no increased or new
environmental effects on the environment from those previously analyzed in the
FEIS/EIR. Implementation of the Project would not increase the need for police
protection services in addition to what was previously anticipated in the FEIS/EIR.

Schools
The Project will not directly result in any residential development. Therefore, the Project
does not generate K-12 students and there is no impact to K-12 schools.
Parks
Parks for the project site were discussed and analyzed in the FEIS/EIR. The Project
results in no changes to that previous analysis, and no increased or new environmental
effects on the environment from those previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR.
Other Public Facilities
The FEIS/EIR concluded that public facilities would be provided according to a phasing
plan to meet projected needs as development of the Specific Plan proceeded.
The FEIS/EIR does identify that the City will require certain conditions for individual
future development projects (identified as Implementation Measures on pages 4-67
through 4-70) to be complied with as appropriate.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to recreation. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as

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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 35
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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The Project will be adjacent to the Linear
Park and will facilitate access to the Park by tenants of the mixed-use commercial
development, consistent _with the levels anticipated by the previously certified FEIR /
EIS.
The Proposed Project would not result in an increase of development intensity or change
in uses that would result in increased use of existing parks or recreational facilities.
There are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts
with regard to recreation that are identified as a result of the implementation of the
Project. There is no new information relative to recreation that was not in existence at
the time the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement was prepared. As a result, no new
mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to recreation.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to recreation. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as
complete.

XV. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC: Would the project:
a) 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)?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not result in an increase of development intensity or change
in uses, building height restrictions (including minor height modifications of 10% and
10% reduction in parking allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan), setbacks, signage,
and other development standards. More specifically, the MCAS Specific Plan allocates
1,267,324 square feet of non-residential development to Planning Areas 9-12
(Neighborhood E), and allocates a unified trip budget to Neighborhood E of 17,516
average daily trips (ADT). These allowable development square footages and
neighborhood trip budgets were previously analyzed in the MCAS Specific Plan Final
EIR/EIS and the First Addendum thereto.
The 870,000 sf Project is located entirely within Neighborhood E and would utilize only
approximately 68% of the developable square footage in Neighborhood E under the
MCAS Specific Plan, and would utilize just more than half of the developable area in
Neighborhood E under the proposed MCAS Specific Plan Amendment. As documented
in an access analysis independently reviewed and approved by the City, the Project
would generate 9,484 ADTs, which is less than half of the Neighborhood E Trip Budget
under the MCAS Specific Plan. Therefore, the Project is less intense, generates fewer
trips, and (as explained further below) would have less effect on the circulation network
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Flight at Tustin Legacy
Page 37
than initially described and analyzed in the Final EIR/EIS and the First Addendum
thereto.
In short, there are no changes to the land use intensity or density and resulting trip
generation. There are no new or increased significant adverse project -specific or
cumulative impacts with regard to transportation and traffic that are identified as a result
of the adoption and implementation of the Project that were not previously analyzed in
the FEIR/EIS, Addendums, and Supplement.
Based on this analysis, there are no new or increased significant adverse project -
specific or cumulative impacts with regard to traffic and transportation that are identified
as a result of the adoption and implementation of the Project. There is no new
information relative to traffic and transportation that was not in existence at the time the
FEIS/EIR was prepared. As a result, no new mitigation measures are required in
relation to impacts to traffic and transportation.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to recreation. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as
complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures were adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement. However,
the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement, also concluded that Specific Plan related
traffic impacts were significant and impossible to fully mitigate. A Statement of
Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR, Addendums, and Supplement, was adopted
by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. Mitigation measures were adopted by
the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement; applicable
measures are included as conditions of entitlement approvals.

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?
d) 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?
e) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing
entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
f) 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?
g) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
h) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste?
i) Would the project include a new or retrofitted storm water treatment control
Best Management Practice (BMP), (e.g. water quality treatment basin, constructed
treatment wetlands), the operation of which could result in significant
environmental effects (e.g. increased vectors and odors)?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not result in an increase of development intensity or change
in uses cause any direct impacts to utilities and service systems. There are no new or
increased significant adverse project -specific or cumulative impacts with regard to
utilities/services systems that are identified as a result of the adoption and
implementation of the Project. There is no new information relative to utilities and
service systems that was not in existence at the time the FEIS/EIR was prepared.
Therefore, the Project and its implementation are consistent with the FEIS/EIR. As a
result, no new mitigation measures are required in relation to impacts to utilities and
service systems.

The FEIS/EIR identifies that the City will require certain conditions for future individual
development projects identified as "Mitigation" or "Implementation Measures" (pages
4-43 through 4-46) to be complied with as appropriate.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section

regard to utilities and service systems. Specifically, there ,have not been: (1) changes to
the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures were adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement; applicable measures are
included as conditions of entitlement approvals.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE:
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 self-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?
No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis. The Project would allow site-specific
development of a commercial mixed-use project permitted within Neighborhood E of the
MCAS Specific Plan. The Project would not increase the overall development potential
allowed by the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
The Proposed Project would not change development intensity, building height
restrictions (including minor height modifications of 10% and 10% reduction in parking
allowed by the MCAs Tustin Specific Plan), setbacks, signage, and other development
standards. The FEIS/EIR previously considered all environmental impacts associated
with the implementation of the Specific Plan, including mandatory findings of significance
associated with the implementationof the Project. The Project would not cause
unmitigated environmental effects that were not already examined in the FEIS/EIR; there
are no new mitigation measures required; and there are no new significant adverse
project -specific or cumulative impacts in any environmental areas that were identified,
nor would any project -specific or cumulative impacts in any environmental areas be
made worse as a result of the Project. All feasible applicable mitigation measures
identified in the FEIS/EIR are incorporated into the Project approvals.
Further, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would
trigger the need to prepare a subsequent EIR to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation
measures exist with regard to environmental impacts. Specifically, there have not been:
(1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.

CONCLUSION
The above analysis concludes that all of the proposed project's effects were previously
examined in the FEIS/EIR, Supplement, and Addendums, that no new effects would occur, that
no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects would occur,
that no new mitigation measures would be required, that no applicable mitigation measures
previously not found to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and that there are no new
mitigation measures or alternatives applicable to the project that would substantially reduce
effects of the project that have not been considered and adopted. A Mitigation and Monitoring
and Reporting Program and Findings of Overriding Considerations were adopted for the
FEIS/EIR on January 16, 2001, and shall apply to the Project, as applicable.
