REPORT
A request for MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Amendment 2015-01 to allow 2,212
additional homes and 1,755,306 fewer square feet of nonresidential building space at
Tustin Legacy and to introduce new mixed-use urban and mixed-use transit land
uses in the project area. General Plan Amendment 2015-02 would include minor text
amendment to ensure consistency with the proposed Specific Plan Amendment.
APPLICANT: City of Tustin
300 Centennial Way
Tustin, CA 92780
LOCATION: Tustin Legacy (Formerly MCAS Tustin)
ENVIRONMENTAL:
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 addenda and supplement, is a Program EIR under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS/EIR, addenda and
supplement considered the potential environmental impacts associated with
development on the former MCAS, Tustin.
A Final Supplemental EIR #2 (FSEIR) for the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan
Amendment and General Plan Amendment has been completed. The FSEIR
analyzed impacts to eight environmental topical areas: air quality, greenhouse gas
emissions, land use and planning, noise, population and housing, public services
(schools), transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines, the changes proposed
by the project would not result in any new environmental impacts, or increase the
severity of environmental impacts.
Agenda—Planning Commission June 13, 2017—Page 3 of 5
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission-
1.
ommission:1. Adopt Resolution No. 4339, recommending that the City Council finds the FSEIR
for General Plan Amendment (GPA) 2015-02 and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Amendment (SPA) 2015-01 is adequate.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 4340, recommending that the City Council approve GPA
2015-02 for minor text amendment to ensure consistency with the proposed
Specific Plan Amendment 2015-01;
3. Adopt Resolution No. 4341, recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance
No. 1482 for Specific Plan Amendment 2015-01 by changing the mix and layout
of land uses, introducing mixed-use transit and mixed-use urban, and allowing
2,212 additional homes and 1,755,306 fewer square feet of nonresidential
building space.
Presented by: Justina Willkom, Assistant Director- Planning
6. CONTINUANCE OF CODE AMENDMENT 2017-004
On June 18, 2015, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in Reed v.
Town of Gilbert, AZ, and determined that categorizing signs based on their content
violated the First Amendment. In response to this decision, most cities nationwide
have reviewed their existing sign codes to determine if they are in violation of the
First Amendment.
Code Amendment (CA) 2017-004 proposes to amend Article 9 Chapter 4 of the
Tustin City Code, related to temporary signs on private property and in the public
right-of-way, in accordance with a 2015 United States Supreme Court decision.
CA 2017-004 was properly noticed for a June 13, 2017, public hearing. However,
based on the complexity of this issue and the potential legal ramifications, a
continuance is requested.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission table their consideration of CA
2017-004 to provide sufficient time for staff to conduct additional research and to
provide public hearing notification for a re-noticed public hearing to those most
potentially impacted by the proposed CA.
REGULAR BUSINESS:
7. TUSTIN HISTORIC REGISTER NOMINATION —WILSON HOUSE — 148 NORTH B
STREET
Owners of historic homes or commercial buildings in Tustin are eligible to participate
in the City's plaque designation program, called the Tustin Historic Register Plaque
Agenda—Planning Commission June 13, 2017—Page 4 of 5
Program. The current property owners, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Alas, are nominating
the property at 148 North B Street for addition to the Tustin Historic Register Plaque
Program. The property owner nomination is being brought forward to recognize that
the building is a significant example of the Colonial Revival architectural style in the
City of Tustin and was constructed in 1923. The Wilson House is an appropriate
name based on the original owners, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wilson, who purchased the
property on August 29, 1923. The Conservancy and Historical Society have both
indicated their concurrence with the proposed name and date of the property.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve the nomination of 148 North B Street to the
City's Historic Register Plaque Program and select "Wilson House - 1923" as the
most appropriate historical name and date of construction of the property.
