A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE
TUSTIN CITY COUNCIL APPROVE SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT (SPA) 2015-01 TO FACILITATE THE
DEVELOPMENT, CONVEYANCE, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
TUSTIN LEGACY NEW VISION CONCEPT.
The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That as the economic climate improved in 2013, the City embarked on a
re-visioning effort to bring focus back to development of the remaining
City-owned lands. The re-visioning process resulted in a decision by City
Council to update the Specific Plan to address desired changes in the mix
of uses, development regulations and building form, and implementation
of open space, circulation, and other infrastructure for the remaining
project area.
B. That SPA 2015-01 calls for a range of residential product types and
education, commercial, commercial/business, entertainment/recreation,
and park land uses. The overall purpose of amending the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan is to provide comprehensive direction — in terms of revisions
to development regulations, design guidance, and implementation of open
space, circulation, and other infrastructure —for the remaining project area
owned by the City of Tustin, while implementing the goals and policies of
the City of Tustin General Plan.
C. That SPA 2015-01 would change the mix and layout of land uses to be
constructed in the project area. Land uses in Planning Areas 1-7 and 20-
22 would remain the same. The mix and layout of land uses in Planning
Areas 8-19 would change under the proposed project. Compared to the
Adopted Specific Plan, the Specific Plan Amendment would allow 2,212
additional homes and 1,755,306 fewer square feet of nonresidential
building space.
D. That SPA 2015-01 (Ordinance No. 1482) will be consistent with the Tustin
General Plan, as amended by GPA 2015-02. That the proposed SPA
2015-01 will further the goals and policies for the long-term growth,
development, and revitalization of Tustin, including the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area as follows:
Land Use Element:
1. Achieve balanced development.
2. Ensure that compatible and complementary development occurs.
3. Improve city-wide urban design.

E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and', held on said
application on June13, 2017, by the Planning Commission.
F. On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/El�R)
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. 016-43 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 FElS/EIR,
along with its Addenda and Supplement, is a program, EIR under the
California Environmental QualityAct (CAECA). The FEIS/ElR, Addenda and
Supplement considered the potential environmental impacts associated with
development on the former Marine Corps, Air Station (MCAS), Tustin.
A Final Supplemental #2 EIR (FSEIR) for SPA 2015-01 and GPA 2015-02
has, been completed, Pursuant to Public Resources Code and CAECA
Guidelines, the changes proposed by the projiect would not result in any new
environmental impacts, or increase, the severity of environmental impacts,
