APPLICANT: City of Tustin 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92780 PROPERTY OWNER: City of Tustin Agenda—Planning Commission March 27, 2018—Page 1 of 3 ENVIRONMENTAL: General Plan Conformity determinations required by Government Code Section 65402 are not "Projects" requiring environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4362, determining that the conveyance of the residential unit located at 370 Flyers Lane managed by the Tustin Housing Authority (Housing Authority) and owned by the City of Tustin (City) to be sold at market rate is in conformance with the Tustin General Plan. PUBLIC HEARING: 4. ORDINANCE NO. 1491, INCLUSIONARY HOUSING (CONTINUED FROM THE FEBRUARY 13, 2018 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING) The Inclusionary Housing Program is proposed to enhance public welfare by establishing policies that foster the construction of affordable housing to households of extremely low, very low, and moderate. The program will be applicable to those instances where an application has been submitted to the City to (1) rezone a property from an industrial or commercial district to residential district, (2) change a property's zoning designation from one lower-density residential district to another higher-density residential district, or (3) to develop residential uses within the Red Hill Specific Plan Area, the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan Area or any other specific plan area that has a provision for Residential Allocation Reservations. ENVIRONMENTAL: Ordinance No. 1491 is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"; Cal. Pub. Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.). The proposed ordinance will not commit the City to approve any particular project, or any aspect of any particular project, now or any time in the future. Any project subject to the proposed ordinance will require its own review for CEQA compliance. As a result, the proposed ordinance does not have any reasonably foreseeable environmental consequences or commit the City to a definite course of action. Thus, the proposed ordinance is not a "project" subject to CEQA. (Public Resources Code § 21065; CEQA Guidelines § 15378(a); CEQA Guidelines § 15352(a).) Further, to the extent the proposed ordinance establishes the inclusionary housing fund, the proposed ordinance is, a government funding mechanism expressly excluded from CEQA's definition of "project." (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(4).) Even if the proposed ordinance were construed to be a project, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment for the foregoing reasons and thus falls within CEQA's "common sense" exemption. (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3).) Agenda—Planning Commission March 27, 2018—Page 2 of 3 RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4358, recommending that the Tustin City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1491, adding Chapter 9B to Article 9 of the Tustin City Code relating to Inclusionary Housing. Presented by: Jerry Craig, Deputy Director of Economic & Development REGULAR BUSINESS: 5. 2017 LEGISLATIVE HOUSING PACKAGE In 2017, Governor Brown signed into law fifteen (15) legislative housing bills into a "housing package" to address housing supply and affordability issues throughout the State of California. These bills provide for new and increased funding for housing, regulatory reform that streamlines local project approval processes and holds jurisdictions accountable for the lack of housing construction. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission receive and file the report. Presented by: Elaine Dove, Senior Planner STAFF CONCERNS: Elizabeth A.
