TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT (GPA) 2015-02 FOR MINOR TEXT
AMENDMENT TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH THE
PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 2015-01
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The City Council 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 to facilitate the re -visioning and implementation of the remaining land
at Tustin Legacy through Specific Plan Amendment 2015-01, a General
Plan Amendment (GPA) for minor text amendment to ensure consistency
with the proposed Specific Plan is necessary.
C. That the proposed text amendments are minor in nature and involves
clean up items. The proposed General Plan Amendment does not change
the goals and policy of the Tustin General Plan.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on June 13, 2017, by the Planning Commission, The Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 4340, recommending that the City
Council approve GPA 2015-02.
E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held on said
application on July 5, 2017, by the City Council.
F. On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEISIEIR)
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
FEISIEIR 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
FEISIEIR and, on May 13, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No.

Transportation Designation
Transportation Corridor: The Transportation Corridor designation
applies to the land within the corridors for the Santa Ana Freeway
(Interstate 5), the Costa Mesa Freeway (State Route 55), the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway, and Circulation Element roadways.
Lands within these corridors are reserved for transportation purposes
as the primary use. Secondary uses, such as open space linkages and
landscaped areas, public and private parking areas, and other
transportation -related activities and facilities are also allowed.
IMPLICATIONS OF THE LAND USE PLAN
The implementation of the Land Use Plan contained in this Element
will permit additional development consistent with other General
Plan goals and objectives. Table LU -3 summarizes the distribution of
acreage within each land use designation in the City of Tustin and
within the City's Sphere of Influence.
Figure LU -3 delineates the boundaries of seven planning sub -areas
within the Tustin Planning Area, while Table LU -4 provides a
summary of land use distribution within each sub -area. Figure LU -3
delineates the boundaries of these sub -areas.
A Land Use Plan has definitive implications on the City's capacity to
support a given number of people. The development capacity
describes the level of development that could occur within the
parameters set by the density/ intensity standards of the Land Use
Plan.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES, NEEDS, OPPORTUNITIES AND
CONSTRAINTS
The Land Use Element establishes policy which is reflected in all the other General
Plan elements. The following land use issues, needs, opportunities, and constraints
have been identified in Tustin, and are addressed in the goals and policies which
follow in the next section.
BALANCED DEVELOPMENT IN TUSTIN
o There is a lack of commercial services in certain geographic
areas, such as the Irvine Business Center, which warrants
consideration of additional commercial designations.
o Land use patterns encourage Tustin residents to rely on the
automobile to commute to work and shopping.
o The City has the opportunity to purchase surplus freeway
parcels and develop them with uses which capitalize on their
freeway accessibility.
o The Tustin Legacy Specific Plan, formerly MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan/ Reuse Plan, will continue to guide future
development on approximately 1,533 acres in the City of
Tustin (Tustin Legacy).
o The annexation of certain areas in North Tustin could establish
more logical City boundaries.
a Hillside areas within the City's sphere of influence may be
subject to slope instability. In the event of annexation,
significant infrastructure deficiencies, where they exist, shall be
mitigated to the extent feasible.

compatibility of land uses permitted within the classification, with the
character of surrounding development and within a development
area itself, location, land use type, density and building intensity
standards will be specifically be governed by Planned Community
District provisions or adoption of a Specific Plan as authorized by the
California Government Code. The Planned Community
Public/ Institutional designation may also permit other uses (such as
residential for purposes of housing persons related to an institutional
use) which support this land use designation. The standard intensity
of development is a floor area ratio of 0.2:1 and the maximum
intensity of development is a floor area ratio of 0.6:1. The overall
population density range for residential use within the PC
Public/ Institutional designation is 2 to 54 persons per acre.
Tustin Legacy Specific Plan(formerly WAS Tustin Specific Plan)
Designation
The WAS Tustin Legacy Specific Plan designation is intended to
provide a framework for the continued conversion of the former
military installation to civilian uses by providing a mechanism for
flexibly accommodating a wide range of housing, employment,
educational and community support uses and opportunities. To
ensure compatibility of land uses permitted within this classification
with the character of surrounding development and within the
development area itself, the specific location of land use types, density
and building intensity standards is governed by the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan (formerly WAS Tustin Specific Plan, as authorized by
the California Government Code. The Specific Plan designation,
however, allows for a number of the following uses.
o Mixed -Use Transit: Provides for transit -oriented mixed-use
developments with commercial retail and/or office on the
ground floor and either residential units or office on upper

Examples of qualifying considerations include:
a. Final project design provides open space equal to or greater
than that designated in the Community Profile.
b. Detailed study identifies significant environmental features
unknown or inaccurately identified during planning
studies.
c. Significant public facilities such as parks, bikeways and
horse trails are provided which serve to define use areas,
but are not otherwise required by the Community Profile.
d. Expansion or modification of an existing use where impacts
are essentially unchanged (e.g., condominium conversion).
Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (formerly WAS Tustin Specific Planj:
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin closed in July 1999. Former
MCAS Tustin is approximately 1,602 acres in size, and is located
primarily within Tustin with the exception of 73 acres located within
the City of Irvine. One privately owned parcel of approximately 4.1
acres was immediately adjacent to the northeasterly boundary of the
base and was included in the planning for reuse of the base. Following
closure, the MCAS Tustin property is under the jurisdictional
authority of the cities of Tustin (approximately 1,533 acres) and Irvine
(approximately 73 acres), and is subject to requirements of a Specific
Plan/Reuse Plan for the former military base and the 4.1 acre
privately owned site.
The overall goal of the Specific Plan is to translate community values
into the most important qualities or characteristics of the future uses
and overall design and seek to create results that are very special,
worthy of the site's present and historical importance to the City of
Tustin and the region. A variety of land uses are permitted by the
Plan, including residential, commercial/ business, and institutional/
recreational activities. Through the federal disposition process, certain
portions of the property were made available to federal, state,
homeless, and local agencies through public benefit conveyances.
Property was also offered to the Local Reuse Authority (e.g., the City
of Tustin) in the pursuit of job creation and economic development.
Property not transferred as a public benefit conveyance or transferred

This is referred to as a "modified primary" on the City Arterial
Highway Plan,
Secondary: A four -lane undivided roadway, with a typical right-of-
way width of 80 feet and a curb -to -curb pavement width of 64 feet.
These roadways serve as collectors, distributing traffic between local
streets, and major and primary arterials. For the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan (formerly MCAS Tustin Specific Plan), 80 feet rig t of
way was modified to a 92 feet right of way to pfevide a paiRt
med of two way left turn lanes Class 11 lanes see
applicable cross sections included within Section 2.4 Mobility Plan.
Collector: A two-lane undivided roadway, with a minimum right-of-
way width of 66 feet and a minimum curb -to -curb width of 50 feet.
The width may be increased to accommodate roadway features such
as bicycle lanes, on -street parking, and turn lanes. At LOS "C," this
road type accommodates up to approximately 10,000 vehicle trips per
day. This road functions as a collector facility, however it tends to
move traffic between two arterials rather than between local streets, it
has been added to the City's arterial highway system because it
provides network continuity and is regionally significant, and may
serve through traffic demand where projected volumes do not
warrant a higher classification such as Secondary.
The Circulation Element roadway classification system does not
include private streets. Private street widths and cross-sections will
vary from those described for roadways in this Element. Standard
cross-sections represent the obvious and accepted answer to most
situations. However, the standard cross-sections do not always
provide the best solution to any given need or set of objectives.
Reasonable flexibility and variety is provided for in the City's private
street standards.
Figure C-1 shows schematic cross sections of each category of arterial
roadway. These sections represent desirable standards, but variation
in right-of-way width and specific road improvements will occur in
certain cases due to physical constraints and/or right-of-way
limitations. In particular, the median width in eight -lane, six -lane and
four -lane roadways will vary according to the area being served and
the available right-of-way constraints and turn lane requirements.
Hence, any of the arterial classifications may deviate from the
standards where physical constraints exist or where preservation of
community character dictates special treatment. Bikeway facilities are

demand in this area can be adequately carried by Jamboree Road and
the west leg of the Eastern Transportation Corridor (ETC), such a
finding is dependent on the capacity provided by the ETC west leg
operating as a free facility. The My£ord Road overcrossing should
continue to be a part of the City's Arterial Highway Plan until more
development plans are evaluated in the vicinity.
RELATIONSHIP TO COUNTY MPAH
The City's Circulation Element recognizes that the County of Orange's
Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) considers augmented
capacity arterials as those regionally significant arterials on the Smart
Street (formerly Super Street) Network with an enhanced traffic -
carrying capacity. Where such augmented capacity has been found
necessary on those streets within the City, then it has been included
on the City's Circulation Element. The Circulation Element further
recognizes that the opportunities for and the benefits of the
"Augmented Capacity" concept may also be realized at certain
locations on other arterial roadways as a capacity enhancement
strategy.
The highway component of the Circulation Element is consistent with
the County MPAH, and as discussed previously, with the augmented
qualifier in specific locations, is able to carry the projected traffic
volumes.
MCAS Tustin Amendment
The MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/ Reuse Plan identifies new Circulation
Element roadways, such as the southerly extension of Tustin Ranch
Road and the east west extension of Warner Avenue through the site„
as wel�ne-ad len of `ti loop readway within the site.

GENERAL PLAN 36 r e )t 2 2nrt UL� Y 2017
Proper grading, soil management, and open space standards will
work to preserve these resources. Sensitive locations will be
identified, and their preservation will be a high priority for the City
during any project review. As new resources are identified in the City,
they will be documented as features or resources the City desires to
preserve.
To further protect paleontological and archaeological resources, a
records search will be performed prior to a development. If no record
of resources exist, a field survey will be performed. Any proposed
project which is located within a sensitive area as defined by Figure
COSR-2, or is identified through a subsequent study, will require a
licensed paleontologist or archaeologist to be present on the site to
observe grading or other earthwork.
Historic Resources
Tustin's many fine historic buildings are very important resources to
the community. The City conducted historic surveys in 1990 and 2003,
and maintains an historic preservation district. Significant structures
outside the district are also protected by the City. In addition to City
recognition, the Orange County Historical Commission recognizes the
Hewes House and the First Advent Christian Church. The National
Register of Historic Places also designates the Lighter -than -Air
Hangars at the former MCAS Tustin. Prior to the closing of MCAS
Tustin, additional historic resource surveying of the facility was
completed. It was concluded that there existed two discontiguous
historic districts containing World War Il structures at former MCAS
Tustin, including heating plant buildings and blimp mooring areas.
In December 1999 a Memorandum of AgIeement MOA was entered
among the Department of the Navy (DON), the California State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation ACI -W) to address these historic resources.
Subsequent to the disposal of MCAS Tustin in 2001, the Department
of Navy, City of Tustinand Count of Oran e fulfilled all the
stipulations as set forth in the MOA. Based upon the completion of all
simulations and measures identified in the MOA, on November 3,
2009, the DON determined that the MOA is no longer in effect and the
future disposal of the property will not be encumbered by a historic

Cultural Resources District: The Tustin Cultural Resources District
was established in response to growing concerns over future
development in Old Town. The purpose of the Cultural Resources
District is to provide a framework for recognizing, preserving, and
protecting culturally significant structures, natural features, sites, and
neighborhoods within the City of Tustin. The District includes much
of the area within the original City boundaries.

Community Parks
Community parks are intended to serve an approximate population of 10,000.
No specific shape is required for community parks as they are intended to
incorporate both active recreational facilities and passive open space in the form
of unique physical features such as a ridgeline. Community parks should be a
minimum of eight acres. Community parks should encompass pedestrian and
bicycle paths and natural open space.
Community parks should contribute to the City's open space system by
connecting to neighborhood parks through open space linkages or connecting to
other recreational facilities. They should be located at or near the intersection of
an arterial near the center of their service area. Community parks should contain
space for active recreational facilities such as gamefields, game courts,
swimming pools or aquatic center, and play areas as well as community centers,
on-site parking, restrooms, and picnic areas. Amenities such as trees, shrubs,
groundcover, large open turf areas, hardscape, benches, trash receptacles, paved
and decomposed granite trails, club house with storage area, lighted parking
lots to meet facility and amenity demands, picnic tables, barbeques, shelter
structures, and restroom buildings should be provided.
Community Linear Park
A Community Linear Park is envisioned at Tustin Legacy. The Community
Linear Park would provide (private and public owned portions) trees, shrubs,
groundcover, turf, hardscape, benches, trash receptacles, lighting, small
structures (i.e. gazebos, shelters, trellis, sculptures, monuments), shallow
hardscape and/or riparian waterway, simulated streams and other water
features with connectivity, paved and decomposed granite trails for pedestrian
and bicycle trail connectivity across the parkland network in the Tustin Legacy
Project.
Regional Parks
The County of Orange owns and maintains many regional recreational facilities.
Policy for the development, maintenance, and improvement of these parks is
provided by the Orange County Recreation Element, which includes a Master
Plan for regional recreational facilities in the County.
The County currently operates the Peters Canyon Regional Park within the
northwesterly portion of East Tustin. The City also supports the County in
locating other regional park facilities in the City. A regional park of
approximately 84.5 acres (including 11 acres occupied by a blimp hanger) is
proposed to be transferred to and operated by the County within the Tustin
CITY OF TUSTIN CONSERVATION/OPEN SPACE/
GENERAL PLAN RECREATION ELEMENT
48 Marcw,�n�« 20 zoo 20 2 ULY 2017
Legacy MCAS S TusSpecific Plan area. Outdoor recreation activities and
adaptive reuse of existing buildings within this regional park location for
recreation -oriented uses is planned.
School Playgrounds/joint Agreements
Organized sports leagues such as those for baseball, soccer, and football utilize
school ballfields through a permit process with the School District. The City
includes school recreational facilities in which the City has a joint use agreement
with the School District to meet the overall standard of three acres per 1,000
population. At the time of the General Plan update, one school facility
(Columbus Tustin) is used jointly by the City and the School District. Up to 1.5
acres per 1,000 population can be provided through school recreation areas
provided the school recreation areas are open to the public.
Opportunities exist to maintain and enhance school/ recreation joint use
agreements with the Tustin Unified School District. Whenever feasible, the City
should work to improve agreements with schools to enter into a joint
school/ recreation use and maintenance program.
An educational college campus is proposed within the Tustin Legacy
development which could provide recreational facilities open to the public.
Biking/Hiking Trails
The County of Orange maintains a coordinated system of trails, including
bikeways, equestrian trails and hiking trails within the City. The Tustin Parks
and Recreation and Community Development Departments disseminate public
information regarding trail availability, and assists with design review of new
trails.
Bikeways comprise the most extensive part of the City's trail network. There are
three categories of bikeways:
o Class I: a paved path that is separate from any motor vehicle travel lane;
o Class 11: a restricted lane within the right of way of a paved roadway for the
exclusive or semi -exclusive use of bicycles; and
o Class Ili: a bikeway that shares the street with motor vehicles or the
sidewalk with pedestrians.
The biking network in Tustin connects with other trails and paths in adjacent
communities and throughout Orange County. The County of Orange has
required that a bikeway and hiking trail for connection within the Tustin Legacy
CITY OF TUSTIN CONSERVATION/OPEN SPACE/
GENERAL PLAN RECREATION ELEMENT

project be provided along the Peters Canyon Channel as an obligation of the
Tustin Legacy project. The trail would be paved and also include a decomposed -
granite trail with landscaping, benches, trash receptacles, and low-level lighting
and directional signage. Direct connections from adjacent residential
developments at Tustin Legacy are to be provided. The trails would be
completed in conjunction with improvements that are to be made to the Peters
Canyon Channel.
A number of policies included in this Element are concerned with the expansion
of the City-wide system of hiking and biking trails. Precise development
standards for the various types of trails are difficult to establish since trail width
and gradient will depend on topography, surface features, and availability of an
easement. The City's trail system includes pedestrian and bike trails within open
space corridors and along regional trails which link to local and regional
parkland. The bikeways located along the City's street system are addressed in
the City's Circulation Element. The Tustin Legacy MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
also includes a Recreational Bikeway/Trail Concept Plan that provides an
opportunity to complete vital links to local and regional systems.
Other Recreational Facilities
In addition to its parks and trails, Tustin has many private recreational facilities.
While some private facilities (e.g., private parks, tennis courts, swimming pools)
are available only to the residents of the general particular complex in which
they are located, others are available to the public for a fee (e.g., Tustin Ranch
Golf Course). The City encourages the inclusion of such facilities in private
development, especially those open to the public.
The Tustin Legacy MCAS Tust:r Specific Plan should also offer opportunities for
other forms of commercial or privately operated recreation. These might include
commercial recreation uses, such as health clubs, bowling alleys, family
entertainment centers and other activities.
FUTURE RECREATION FACILITIES
Identifying areas which will be adequately served by existing park facilities and
areas for which new parks will be needed is possible by comparing projected
build -out for the City with the standards and criteria of this Element. The
implementation program for this Element includes a plan showing the
approximate number and location of additional park facilities, by category,
according to the specific criteria outlined in this Element. This information will
be used as a reference tool, along with the above criteria, for planning the
acquisition and siting of park facilities.

Another method that the City can use in the fight against crime is to
ensure that new construction is designed in a way that discourages
gang activity and other aggressive lawless behavior. Some examples
of "protective architecture" or defensible space are well lit entryways,
lack of convenient hiding places, entryways which are easily seen
from the street, and other similar concepts.
AIRCRAFT OVERFLIGHT HAZARDS
Large parts of Tustin's residential areas lie underneath the flightpath
of John Wayne Airport. While the City's power to limit the
operational activities of these facilities is extremely limited, the City
can participate in land use control within the flight paths and the
legislative process which regulates civilian and military air
operations. This includes coordinating land use planning and
emergency preparedness planning with the County's Airport Land
Use Commission and John Wayne Airport..
Flight operations involving blimps may occur as an interim use at
former MCAS Tustin. The Tustin Legacy MCAS S T,.s Specific Plan
also allows heliports as a conditional use. These operations may
require amendment of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP)
to address specific noise and safety factors associated with blimp and
helicopter flights.
