PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
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. On May, 13, 2013, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 13-32 approving a second Addendum to the FEIS/EIR. On July
5, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 17-23 approving a second Supplement to the
FEIS/EIR in conjunction with Specific Plan Amendment 2016-01 (Ordinance 1482) for the Tustin
Legacy Specific Plan (formerly MCAS Tustin Specific Plan), The FEIS/EIR, along with its
addendums and supplements, is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The FEIS/EIR, addendums and supplemental considered the potential environmental
Impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin. 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 Marine Corps Air
Station, Tustin.
The FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement analyzed the environmental consequences of the
Navy disposal and local community reuse of the MCAS Tustin site per the Reuse Plan and the
Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (referred to in this document as the 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 Tustin Legacy Specific Plan.
The Tustin Legacy 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, 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.
PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is approximately 20 gross acres located within the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan
(Tustin Legacy) boundaries affecting Disposition Parcel 613. The project site is bounded by
future Moffett Drive to the north, Park Avenue to the east, Victory Road to the south, and Tustin
Ranch Road to the west within Planning Area 15 of Neighborhood G, Tustin Legacy Specific

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
An Environmental Analysis Checklist has been completed and it has, been determined that this
Project is within the scope of the Prior Environmental Review and that pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21166 and Title 14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15162
and 15168(c), there are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions to the
Prior Environmental Review, no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions to the Prior
Environmental Review, or any new information which was not known and could not have been
known at the time the Prior Environmental Review was certified showing that: (1) the project will
have any new significant effects; (2) significant effects previously examined will be substantially
more severe; (3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously determined to be infeasible will
now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project but
the City declined to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (4) mitigation measures or
alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the City declined to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative. 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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
Evaluation of E=nvironmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012, and TTM 18125
Page 4
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
The project is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. The
development of residential units within Planning Area 15 were considered within the
FEIS/EIR and will have no negative aesthetic effect on the site when mitigation measures
Identified in the FEIS/EIR are incorporated with approval of the project. All exterior design
is required to be in compliance with Section 3.19 — Urban Design Guidelines of the Tustin
Legacy Specific Plan. The proposal includes Design Review application, which requires
that the Planning Commission and City Council review and ensure the design of the
project, if approved, is found to be cohesive and in harmony with surrounding uses. All
exterior lighting would be designed to reduce glare, create a safe night environment, and
avoid impacts to surrounding properties in compliance with Section 3.19.3d of the Tustin
Legacy Specific Plan and the City's Security Ordinance. The proposed project will result
in no substantial changes to the environmental impacts previously evaluated with the
certified Program FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental and Addendums.
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 effects or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR,
the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
Mkigation/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
and no new mitigation measures are required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplemental; and applicable
measures will be required to be complied with as conditions of entitlement approvals for
future development of the site.

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:

Page 5
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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. As
documented in the FEIS/EIR, the project site is part of Tustin Legacy Specific Plan that
contained 702 acres of farmland. The FEIS/EIR concluded that there would be no viable
longterm mitigation to off -set the impact of converting farmland on MCAS Tustin to urban
uses.
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 effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
MidgationlMonitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR. However, the FEIS/EIR also concluded that
Reuse Plan related impacts to farmland 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.

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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012, and TTM 18125

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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. As
documented in the FEIS/EIR, the project is part of a larger reuse project at Tustin Legacy
that was projected to result In air quality impacts that cannot be fully mitigated. A
Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001. The site is presently not in use. The project applicant
proposes to construct within the maximum allowable residential units in Planning Area 15
of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. Therefore, no significant impact beyond what was
analyzed in the adopted FEIS/EIR is anticipated.
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 altematives that was not
known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Speck mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in certifying the FEIS/EIR. However, the FEIS/EIR also concluded that
Reuse 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.

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?
e) Conflict with any, local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Q Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural

The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story, attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Speck Plan.
The FEIS/EIR found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and Tustin Legacy Specific
Plan would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered plant or animal
species. The proposed project is within the scope of development considered with the
analysis of the FEIS/EIR, the Supplementals and Addendums for MCAS Tustin, The
FEIS/EIR determined that implementation of the Reuse Plan and Tustin Legacy Specific
Plan (including the proposed project) could impact jurisdictional waters/wedands and the
southwestern pond turtle or have an impact on jurisdictional waters/wetlands. The project
site has been surveyed, and turtles were captured and moved off the site to another
location as directed and overseen by the California Department of Fish and Game. Since
that time, all former Marine Corps base drainage channels in the area were removed and
graded by the former owner of the property with the required 401, 404 and 1601 permits
issued by Fish and Game, Army Corps of Engineers, and Regional Water Quality Control
Board. Consequently, the proposed project would not affect the southwestern pond turtle
or have an impact on jurisdictional waters or wetlands. No substantial change is expected
from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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

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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan. It
should be noted that the former MCAS Tustin contained two National Register listed
blimp hangars, and several concrete or asphalt blimp landing pads that were considered
historically or culturally significant, pursuant to the federal Section 106 process
conducted at the site. Through the Section 106 process, these facilities were identified as
part of a discontiguous Historic District. The Navy, State Office of Historic Preservation
(SHPO), and Advisory Council executed a Memorandum of Agreement (attached as part of
the EIS/EIR) with City of Tustin and County of Orange as invited signatories that allowed for
the destruction of the blimp pads. The EIS/EIR noted that it may not be financially feasible
to retain the blimp hangars and there may be irreversible significant impacts. A Statement
of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on
January 16, 2001. Consistent with the above referenced agreement, the previous owner of
the property removed the blimp pad from the project site and leveled the property.
However, no portion of the previously existing blimp landing pads nor the existing blimp
hangars are located within the project site boundary.
Numerous archaeological surveys have been conducted at the former MCAS Tustin site.
In 1988, the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) provided written concurrence that
all open spaces on MCAS Tustin had been adequately surveyed for archaeological
resources. Although one archaeological site (CA -ORA -381) has been recorded within the
Reuse Plan area, it is believed to have been destroyed. It is possible that previously
unidentified buried archaeological or paleontological resources within the project site could
be significantly impacted by grading and construction activities. With the inclusion of
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012, and TTM 18125
Page 9
mitigation measures that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to cultural
resources can be reduced to a level of insignificance. No substantial change is expected
from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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 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.
MitlgatiorVWnftoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012, and TTM 18125
Page 10
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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Speck Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
The FEIS/EIR indicates that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of
the Reuse Plan and Tustin Legacy Specific Plan would "include non -seismic hazards (such
as local settlement, regional 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." However, the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin also 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 such hazards. No substantial change is expected for
development of the project from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin,
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 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

VII, GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: —Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may
have a significant impact on the environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose
of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?

The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan,
which also areas for commercial, retail and institutional uses. These uses currently
generage greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas used for energy, heating and
cooking, electricity usage, vehicle trips associated it heach land use areas sources such
as landscaping equipment and consumer cleaning products from water demand,
wastewater generation and solid waste generation. The FEIS/EIR did not evaluate
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impacts because, prior to SB 97, which went into effect
January 1, 2010, it was not included in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist and the
City of Tustin did not have adopted thresholds at the time of preparation. The City has
prepared the Final Supplemental EIR (FSEIR), which was adopted in June 2017 in
conjunction with the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan Amendment (Modified Project). The
FSEIR analyzed the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (Adopted Specific Plan) would have
generated GHG emissions at levels that would exceed the thresholds established by
Southern California Air Quality Management District. The FSEIR concluded that the
Modified Project would contribute to global climate change through direct emission of GHG
from onsite area sources and vehicle trips and indirectly through offsite energy production
required for onsite activities, water use and waste disposal. However, the Modified Project
would generate GHG emissions at a reduced rate than the rate GHG emissions would
have been produced under the Adopted Specific Plan.
Mkigatiori/Monitoring Required Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

VIII, 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?
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 "frisk of loss, injury or death
involving wildiand fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized
areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of.the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The 'proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
The project will not create a significant hazard to the public through the transport, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials, nor are there reasonably foreseeable upset and accident
conditions at the property. In addition, construction and residential uses would not emit
hazardous emissions within a quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The Navy
conveyed the property in 2002 as unrestricted and suitable for residential reuse.
In addition, the project site is located within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land
Use Plan; however, it is at least four (4) miles from John Wayne Airport, and does not lie
within a flight approach or departure corridor and thus does not pose an aircraft -related
safety hazard for future residents or workers. The project site is also not located in a
wildland fire danger area. Compliance with all federal, state and ' local regulations
concerning handling and use of household hazardous substances will reduce potential
impacts to below a level of significance. No substantial change is expected from the
analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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 envSronmental 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 effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
MitigationlMo0oring Required. As identified in the FEISIEIR, compliance with existing rules
and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is required.

a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge, such that them 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 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?
Q 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?
1) 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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
The project design and construction of facilities to fully contain drainage of the site would be
required as conditions of approval of the project and submitted/approved Water Quality
Management Plan, No long-term impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated for
the proposed project. The proposed housing project will also not impact groundwater in the
deep regional aquifer or shallow aquifer. The proposed project would not include
groundwater removal or alteration of historic drainage patterns at the site, The project is
not located within a 100 -year flood area and will not expose people or structures to a
significant risk of loss, injury and death involving flooding as a result of the failure of a levee

mudflow.
Construction operations would be required to comply with the Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for the Newport Bay watershed that requires compliance with the Drainage Area
Master Plan (DAMP) and National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and
the implementation of specific best management practices (BMP). 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
such hazards. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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

IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project: Physically divide an established
community?
a) 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

Page 15
the number of dwelling units proposed by the Project is under the maximum
development threshold for Planning Area 15, which contemplates the development of
2,814 dwelling units in total. The City of Tustin is the controlling authority over
implementation of the Reuse Plan for the former base, such as land use designations,
zoning categories, recreation and open space areas, major arterial roadways, urban
design, public facilities, and infrastructure systems. On July 18, 2017, the Tustin City
Council approved the Tustin Legacy Speck Plan for Tustin Legacy project area that
established land use and development standards for development of the site. The
proposed project complies with Planning Area 15's development standards for residential
units as noted in Section 3.13.2 of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. Compliance with state
and local regulations and standards would avoid the creation of significant land use and
planning impacts. Also, the proposed Project will not conflict with any habitat conservation
plan or natural community conservation plan. Consequently, no change is expected from
the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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 land use and planning. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the

Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan,
Chapter 3.9 of the FEIS/EIR indicates that no mineral resources are known to occur
anywhere within the Reuse Plan area. The proposed project will not result in the loss of
mineral resources known to be on the site or identified as being present on the site by any
mineral resource plans. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the
analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
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

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

The FEIS/EIR indicates that full build -out of the base will create noise impacts that would
be considered significant if noise levels experienced by sensitive receptors would exceed
those considered "normally acceptable" for the applicable land use categories in the Noise
Elements of the Tustin General Plan. For interior noise, N-3 identified in the FEIS/EIR
requires plans demonstrating noise regulation conformity be submitted for review and
approval prior to building permits being issued. Compliance with adopted mitigation
measures and state and local regulations and standards, along with established
engineering procedures and techniques, will avoid unacceptable risk or the creation of
significant impacts related to such hazards.
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

XII1. 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:
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan.
The site is currently vacant. Development of the site would require public services such as
fire and police protection services, schools, libraries, recreation facilities, and biking/hiking
trails.
Fire Protection, The proposed project will be required to meet existing Orange County
Fire Authority (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 would reduce
the risk of uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire protection
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012,, and TTM 18125
Page 19
services to the site. The number of fire stations existing and planned in the area
surrounding.the site will meet the demands created by the proposed project.
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population estimates, square footage of non-residential uses, etc. Development of
the .site would increase the need for police protection services. The developer as- a
condition of approval for the project would be required to work with the Tustin Police
Department to ensure that adequate security precautions such as visibility, lighting,
emergency access, address signage are implemented in the project at plan check.
Schools. The proposed project is located within Tustin Unified School District (TUSD).
The Implementation of the Reuse Plan would provide two 10 -acre sites for elementary
schools and a 40 -acre high school site to serve the growing student population within its
district. The 2001 FEIS/EIR determined that the project would generate 1,473 students
within the TUSD. The 2006 Addendum determined that the modified project would result
in a reduction of 497 students within the TUSD and analyzed the impact of expanding
the Heritage school by 5 acres to accommodate a combination elementary/middle
school instead of the two elementary schools and one high school contemplated in the
2001 FEIS/EIR. Utilizing the 2006 Addendum student generation factors of 0.465 for K-
8 in single family detached residences and 0.219 for K-8 in attached single family homes
and 0.135 for grades 9-12 in single family homes and 0.077 for grades 9-12 in single
family detached homes, the project would result in 84 students within the TUSD. The
FSEIR for Tustin Legacy Specific Plan Amendment (Modified Project) determined that
the Modified Project would in the construction of 6,813 total residential units in the
Specific Plan area, resulting in the potential addition of 1,250 students to the TUSD, The
TUSD will receive its statutory school impact fees per Senate Bill 50 from the proposed
residential development of the site. As a condition of approval for the project, the
developer will be required to pay applicable school fees prior to issuance of the building
permit. In summary, no new additional students are anticipated beyond what was
considered in the FEIR/EIS for the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS, Tustin, and in any
event, City required mitigation is limited by State law to requiring payment of the SB 50
school impact fees.
Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Implementation of the entire Reuse Plan would only
result in a library demand of up to approximately 2,500 square feet of library space. This
relatively small amount of space is well below the library system's general minimum size of
10,000 square feet for a branch library and would not trigger the need for a new facility.
General Imolementation Requirements: To support development in the reuse plan area, the
Reuse Plan/Specific Plan requires public services and facilities to be provided concurrent
with demand. , The proposed project will be required to comply with FEIS/EIR
implementation measures adopted by the Tustin City Council.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. 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 public services. 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

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?
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? .
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed project includes common areas such as paseos,
swimming pool area and outdoor barbeque as well as a pedestrian plaza which would be
accessible to the residents of the project and the public as a whole. The proposed
project not only provides recreational to its future community residents. Additionally, the
Reuse Plan process included public conveyance of city parks and an Urban Regional Park;
as such individual developers were relieved of the requirement to dedicate land for park
purposes. The project is not anticipated to increase the use of other existing neighborhood
or regional parks such that substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or
be accelerated.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in

XV. TRANSPORTATIONITRAFFIC: 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 result 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)?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential condominium
units consisting of 57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes,
and 60 two and three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan and
the number of dwelling units proposed is under the maximum development threshold for
Planning Area 15, which contemplates the development of 2,814 dwelling units in total.
The FEIS/EIR indicates that transportation and circulation impacts would be created
through the phased development of the approved Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan,
The FEIS/EIR and Supplements identified the trip generation resulting from implementation
of the original Speck Plan and Addendum to create an overall Average Daily Trip (ADT) of
216,440 trips. The Specific Plan also established a. trip budget tracking system for each
neighborhood to analyze and control the amount and intensity of non-residential
development by neighborhood. The tracking system ensures that sufficient ADT capacity
exists to serve the development and remainder of the neighborhood. The proposed project
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012, and TTM 18,125
Page 22
would not exceed the trip budget analyzed in the FEISIEIR and its Supplemental and
Addendums.
According to the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan, a maximum of 2,814 residential dwelling
units are permitted within Planning Area 15 (Neighborhood G) with an established trip
budget of 38,936 ADTs. The proposed project has a total of 218 units with projected 1,614
ADTs. Given this comparison, the proposed project is well within the trip budget
established for the project site.
The analysis has shown that the proposed project has not resulted in new significant
impacts that would require mitigation. Moreover, the proposed on-site circulation system is
found to provide adequate capacity in accordance with'the performance criteria applied to
the project. The City's Traffic Engineer has analyzed the proposed project and the
associated trip generation and determined that it is within the traffic budget for the project
site.
No substantial change is expected from the, analysis previously completed in the approved
FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin. 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 traffic. 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 effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
MitigafioNMonitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 23
c) 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?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing
entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
e) 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?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid
waste?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 218 residential units consisting of
57 three-story detached homes, 101 three-story attached townhomes, and 60 two and
three story attached flats within the residential core of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan
area. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Specific Plan, The FEIR/EIR
analyzed residential development on the proposed site, which is consistent with the
proposed project. Development of the site would require on-site improvements and off-
site infrastructure improvements to utilities and roadway systems, including payment of
fair share contribution related to the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program
and construction of landscape and Irrigation on the public right-of-way Also,
development of the site is required to meet federal, state, and local standards for design
of wastewater treatment. The number of proposed units can be supported by the Irvine
Ranch Water District for domestic water and sewer services.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS/EIR for MCAS' Tustin. 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 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 effects or mitigation measures or alternatives that were not known
and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums
were certified as completed.

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?
Based upon the foregoing, the proposed project does not have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitats or wildlife populations to
decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. With the enforcement of
FEIS/EIR mitigation and implementation measures approved by the Tustin City Council, the
proposed project does not cause unmitigated environmental effects that will cause
substantial .effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the proposed
project does have air quality impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of the reuse and redevelopment of
the former MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental and Addendums previously
considered all environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse
Plan and Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The project proposes no substantial changes to
environmental issues previously considered with adoption of the FEIS/EIR. Mitigation
measures were identified in the FEIS/EIR to reduce impact but not to a level of
insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by
the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001,
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR previously considered all environmental
impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR
and would be included in the project as applicable.

CONCLUSION
The summary concludes that all of the proposed project's effects were previously examined in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin, that no new effects would occur, that no substantial increase in the
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DA 2017-001, DR 2017-012, and TTM 18125
Page 25
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 July 5, 2017 and shall apply to the proposed
project, as applicable.
