BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin was closed on July 2, 1999. The Reuse Plan
for MCAS Tustin is comprised of approximately 1602 acres of federal property and a 4.1
acre privately owned parcel. The majority of the site or approximately 1 ,511 acres in the
Reuse Plan are located within the City of Tustin with approximately 95 acres within the
City of Irvine.
On January 16, 2001, the Tustin City Council approved General Plan Amendment
(GPA) 00-001 which adopted amendments to various Elements of the General Plan
needed to establish conformity with the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and which officially
established a new "MCAS Tustin Specific Plan" General Plan designation for that
portion of the Reuse Plan property within the City of Tustin.
On June 7, 2004, Moffet Meadows Partners, LLC, which purchased a portion of former
MCAS, Tustin from the Department of Navy, filed a landowner petition with the Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the reorganization of the boundary
between Tustin and Irvine. The proposed reorganization includes the following actions:

Page 3
. Detachment of approximately 21.6 acres from the City of Irvine and annexation
of the same 21.6 acres to the City of Tustin (MCAS Tustin Disposition Parcel
36)
. Amendment to City of Irvine Sphere of Influence
. Amendment to City of Tustin Sphere of Influence
The boundary reorganization would improve the delivery of public services such as law
enforcement and waste collection to the future residents of the annexed area. The
reorganization would also place a planned residential neighborhood entirely within one
city rather than split it illogically between two cities. Presently, the proposed annexation
area is somewhat isolated from the rest of Irvine because it is surrounded on three
sides by flood control channels or Southern California Edison property. Vehicular
access to the area is from the north through the City of Tustin. The boundary change
would eliminate this City of Irvine "island" and would improve the connectivity of the
proposed residential neighborhood.
On December 14, 2004, the City of Irvine adopted Resolution No. 04-181 supporting the
proposed boundary reorganization (Attachment G). Prior to taking action on the proposed
reorganization, LAFCO requires that the City of Tustin adopt a General Plan Amendment
and Prezone for the territory to be annexed. In addition, the applicant is requesting a Zone
Change (MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Amendment) for MCAS Tustin Disposition Parcel 36.
General Plan Amendment 04-001
General Plan Amendment 04-001 would establish the General Plan land use designation
of "MCAS Tustin Specific Plan" for the annexation of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
Disposition Parcel 36. The proposed general plan amendment also includes the revision
of some text and several maps and exhibits in the Tustin General Plan to adjust the City
boundary and increase the size of the City by approximately 21.6 acres. These revisions,
which are shown in Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3956, would maintain internal consistency
within the General Plan.
Prezone 04-001
Prezone 04-001 would prezone MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Disposition Parcel 36, which is
located within the City of Irvine (Attachment B), from the City of Irvine "2.3 Medium Density
Residential" zoning district to the City of Tustin "MCAS Tustin Specific Plan" zoning district
(SP-1 Specific Plan). The affected territory is currently undeveloped, but was previously
developed with military housing for Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin.

Zone Ctlanoe (MCAS Tustin Spec!.fl£..E!an Amendment) 04-001
Zone Change 04-001 would amend the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan to establish new site
development standards for Disposition Parcel 36. Under the current MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan, the site development standards from City of Irvine Planning Area 38 are applicable to
Disposition Parcel 36. The proposed zone change would specifically call out the
applicable development standards, which would be consistent with City of Irvine Planning
Area 38 development standards. Development standards pertaining to landscaping,
bicycle and pedestrian circulation facilities, and signage would be similar to existing MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan Planning Area 21 standards. The proposed standards and related
amendments to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan are shown on Exhibit A of Resolution No.
3958.
Annexation Process
The annexation is one component of the project and is addressed in the environmental
analysis to be considered by the Planning Commission. However, it should be noted that
the Planning Commission will not take any action on the actual annexation.
If the City Council approves General Plan Amendment 04-001 and Prezone 04-001,
LAFCO would proceed to schedule their public hearing for the boundary adjustment and
sphere of influence amendments. LAFCO staff anticipates that the public hearing will
take place on April 13, 2005. If the annexation is approved by LAFCO, the general plan
and pre-zoning designations would become official for these properties.
ENVIRONMENTAL
On January 17, 2001, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific
Plan (FEIS/FEIR). The proposed density for MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Disposition
Parcel 36 is consistent with development intensity considered in the FEIS/EIR. Staff
has prepared a checklist that demonstrates all potential impacts of the project were
addressed by the certified FEIS/EIR and no additional impacts have been identified
(Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3955). In addition, a mitigation monitoring
program matrix was prepared by the Community Development Department that
identifies the specific mitigation measures or implementation measures identified in the
FEIS/EIR that are applicable to the project; all applicable mitigation measures in the
FEIS/EIR will be recommended as conditions of approval in the entitlements for
development on MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Disposition Parcel 36.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 04-001, PREZONE 04-001, ZONE CHANGE (MCAS
TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT) 04-001, AND ANNEXATION 159
MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN DISPOSITION PARCEL 36
BACKGROUND
The former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin was officially closed on July 2, 1999,
as a result of recommendations of the Federal Base Closure and Realignment
Commission. The City was designated as the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for
the reuse of MCAS Tustin and, acting as such, approved a R~use Plan that provided for
future land uses at the former MCAS Tustin. The Reuse Plan was approved in October
1996 and was subsequently amended in September 1998 ("the Reuse Plan"), The Reuse
Plan was subsequently reviewed and approved by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as consistent with federal law regarding the
homeless.
In accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") of
1969, as amended, and the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the federal
government and City prepared a Joint Final Program Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin. On
January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Final Joint Program Environmental
Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the disposal and reuse of MCAS-
Tustin (referenced as FEIS/EIR herein).
Former MCAS Tustin is comprised of 1602 acres and is located within the boundaries of
Tustin and Irvine (Attachment A). The majority of the site, or approximately 1,507
acres, is located within the City of Tustin, and approximately 95 acres is situated within
the City of Irvine.
On June 7, 2004, Moffett Meadows Partners, LLC, which purchased a portion of former
MCAS Tustin from the Department of Navy, submitted an application to the Orange
County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to have approximately 22 acres
of property on former MCAS Tustin within the City of Irvine annexed to the City of
Tustin. The proposed annexation site is identified as Disposition Parcel 36 in the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan. The site is located within a portion of Planning Area 21 of the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and is bounded by the City of Tustin/City of Irvine boundary
to the north, an Edison property to the east, Peters Canyon Channel to the west, and a
flood control channel and Warner Avenue to the south. Access to the site is currently
provided from Moffett Avenue via the Tustin portion of Planning Area 21 (Attachment B).
Prior to LAFCO's consideration of the annexation, the City of Tustin must amend its
General Plan and prezone the site. The applicant is also requesting a zone change
consisting of an amendment to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan to establish new
development standards for Disposition Parcel 36. The proposed project is a general
plan amendment, prezone, zone change, and annexation that would allow for the
development of up to 150 additional dwelling units within the City of Tustin and result in
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3955
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
GPA 04-001, PZ 04-001, ZC 04-001, Annexation 159
Page 2
up to 150 fewer dwelling units in Planning Area 21 in the City of Irvine. The
development of the 150 dwelling units was analyzed in the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR.
As part of the analysis of the MCAS Tustin FEIR/EIS for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan,
the Irvine portion of Planning Area 21 was identified as a Low Density Residential (LDR)
site, with a development potential of 1-7 dwelling units per acre. There were 150
existing units within the Irvine portion of Planning Area 21 (Table 3-1, MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan). At the time, rehabilitation of these units was considered and therefore
the total number of 150 units was included in the land use analysis included in the
MCAS Tustin FEIR/EIS for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The proposed general plan
amendment, prezone, and zone change (MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Amendment)
would retain the Low Density Residential (LOR) designation of the site, pursuant to the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.
Related environmental impacts were addressed in the FEIS/EIR and implementation
and mitigation measures were incorporated into the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The
applicable mitigation measures developed in the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR will be
recommended as conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan Disposition Parcel 36.
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 project site is not located on a scenic highway, nor will the project affect a
scenic vista. The proposed general plan amendment, prezone, zone change, and
annexation would allow development that is consistent with the permitted uses
identified within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Development of low-density
residential units within the Irvine portion of Planning Area 21 was considered within
the FEIS/EIR and will have no negative aesthetic effect on the site when mitigation
measures identified in the FEIS/EIR are included as conditions of the entitlement
approvals for MCAS Tustin Disposition Parcel 36. All exterior design is required
to be in compliance with Section 2.17.3(A) - Urban Design Guidelines for
Residential Development of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and the Landscape
Concept Section 3.17.2 as they relate to the design of Harvard Avenue south of
Edinger Avenue and primary street corners and project entries. Since the site is
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3955
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
GPA 04-001, PZ 04-001, ZC 04-001, Annexation 159
Page 3
bounded by two arterials, the Landscape/Screening standards noted in Section
3.11.12 would apply. The development of the site would include a design review,
which requires that the design of the project is 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 2.17.3 (A) of the MCAS Tustin 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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as
conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Disposition Parcel 36.

II.
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:
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 general plan amendment, prezone, zone change, and annexation
would not convert prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide
importance as shown on maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Managing and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency to non-agricultural use.
Also, the property is not zoned for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract,
nor does the proposed use involve other changes in the existing ènvironment that
could result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. The project site
is not zoned or used as agricultural land; consequently, no substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.

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?
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?
As documented in the FEIS/EIR, the proposed general plan amendment, prezone,
zone change, and annexation will accommodate development that is part of a
larger project that was projected to result in air quality impacts. A Statement of
Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council
on January 16, 2001. Since the proposed actions would accommodate the
development of up to 150 housing units, which is consistent with the Specific Plan,
all environmental impacts related to the project and the development of the site
were considered in the adopted FEIS/EIR. The project would not add any impacts
beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation/Monitoring 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 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.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations,
or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans,
policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited
to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological 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?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional
or state habitat conservation plan?
The FEIS/EIR found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or
endangered plant or animal species. The proposed general plan amendment,
prezone, zone change, and annexation will accommodate development that is
consistent with the scope of development considered with the analysis of the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR determined that implementation of the
Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan could impact jurisdictional
waters/wetlands and the southwestern pond turtle or have an impact on
jurisdictional waters/wetlands. The project site is not located in an area that would
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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

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?
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 associated with future development of the site.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as
conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Disposition Parcel 36

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?
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 FEIS/EIR indicates that impacts to soils and geology resulting from
implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin 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 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 the future
development of the project site from the analysis previously completed in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS/EIR, compliance with
existing rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No
mitigation is required.

VII.
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 risk of loss, injury or death
involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to
urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
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, future construction and
residential uses resulting from the proposed project would not emit hazardous
emissions within a quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The Navy has
approved a Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) determining that the Quitclaim
portions of the project are suitable for reuse as planned within the Reuse Plan for
MCAS Tustin and as shown in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. 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 not located in a
wildland fire danger area. Compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations
concerning handling and use of these 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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS/EIR, compliance with
existing rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No
mitigation is required.

HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: - Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or inteñere substantially
with groundwater recharge, such that there 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 suñace 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?

f) 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?
i) 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?
k) Potentially impact stormwater runoff from construction activities?
I) Potentially impact stormwater runoff from post-construction activities?
m) Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater pollutants from areas
of material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment
maintenance (including washing), waste handling, hazardous materials
handling or storage, delivery areas, loading docks or other outdoor
work areas?
n) Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater to affect the beneficial
uses of the receiving waters?
0) Create the potential for significant changes in the flow velocity or
volume of stormwater runoff to cause environmental harm?
p) Create significant increases in erosion of the project site or surrounding
areas?
The proposed general plan amendment, prezone, zone change, and annexation
will allow development that would increase runoff. However, the project will not
result in additional impacts beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEIS/EIR.
The project design and construction of facilities to fully contain drainage of the. site
would be required as conditions of approval of the future development project. No
long-term impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated for the future
development of the project site. The proposed future development will not impact
groundwater in the deep regional aquifer or shallow aquifer. The proposed future
development would not include groundwater removal or alteration of historic
drainage patterns at the site. The project site is not located within a 1 OO-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 or dam, nor is the project
site susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
Construction operations associated with future development of the site 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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEIS/EIR, compliance with
existing rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No
mitigation is required.

LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) 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 purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan?
The City of Tustin is the controlling authority over implementation of the Reuse Plan
for the Tustin portion of 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 February 3, 2003, the
Tustin City Council approved the Specific Plan for MCAS Tustin that established
land use and development standards for development of the site. The proposed
general plan amendment, prezone, zone change, and annexation will allow
development that meets the density requirements of Table 3-2 ofthe MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan. The proposed general plan amendment, prezone, and zone
change would retain the Low Density Residential (LOR) designation of the site,
pursuant to the MCAS Tustin 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 co!'Tlmunity conservation plan.

Consequently, no change is expected from the analysis previously completed in
the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The proposed project is consistent with the density
requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan as identified by the adopted
FEIS/EIR. No mitigation is required.

MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would
be a value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource
recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other
land use 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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XI.
NOISE: Would the project:
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?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3955
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
GPA 04-001, PZ 04-001, ZC 04-001, Annexation 159
Page 13
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project
vicinity above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in
the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public
use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive
noise levels?
Future development allowed by the proposed project could result in implementation
activities that generate noise. The FEIS/EIRindicates that full build-out of the base
will create noise impacts that would be considered significant if noise levels
experienced by sensitive receptors wòuld exceed those considered "normally
acceptable" for the applicable land use categories in the Noise Elements of the
Tustin General Plan. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. However, the
City of Tustin will ensure that construction activities associated with future
development of the site comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and the housing
units are designed with adequate noise attenuation (Le., window design, sound
walls) to meet the allowable noise levels as required by Tustin City Code for
residential use. The future development project would be sound attenuated against
present and projected noise so as not to exceed an exterior noise standard of 65
dB CNEL in outdoor living areas and an interior standard of 45 dB CNEL in all
habitable rooms to reduce noise-related impacts to a level of insignificance.
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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as
conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Disposition Parcel 36.

POPULATION & HOUSING: Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for
example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere?
The proposed general plan amendment, prezone, zone change, and annexation
will allow development that would include up to 150 new residential units on a site
that once included 150 military housing units. The proposed project will not
displace people or necessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
The maximum number of allowable residential units is consistent with the density
that was previously analyzed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. It is anticipated
that the total number of units for Planning Area 21 upon completion of the entire
planning area would be consistent with the number of units considered in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XIII.
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 general plan amendment, prezone, zone change and annexation will
allow development of the site that would require public services such as fire and
police protection services, schools, libraries, recreation facilities, and biking/hiking
trails. If the proposed project is approved, police protection services and recreation
facilities for the area identified as Disposition Parcel 36 would be provided by the
City of Tustin rather than the City of Irvine. All of the other services listed below
would be provided by the same agencies.
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3955
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
GPA 04-001, PZ 04-001, ZC 04-001, Annexation 159
Page 15
Fire Protection. The development of the site allowed by the proposed project will
be required to meet existing Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) regulations
regarding demolition, 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
services to the site. The number of fire stations in the areas 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 accommodated by the proposed project would increase the
need for police protection services. The developer, as a condition of approval for
the future development of the site, would be required to work with the Tustin Police
Department to ensure that adequate security precautions such as visibility,
lighting, emergency access, and address signage are implemented in the project
at plan check.
Schools. The proposed project is located within the Irvine Unified School District
(IUSD). The implementation of the Reuse Plan provides for a 20-acre school site
to IUSD to serve the growing student population within its district. As a condition
of approval for the future development of the site, the developer would be
required to pay applicable school fees to IUSD prior to issuance of the building
permit.
Other Public Facilities (~. 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 Implementation 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 FEISIEIR 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 for fire protection, police protection, schools,
or other public facilities.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as
conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Disposition Parcel 36.

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 Reuse Plan provides for a new 84.5-acre Regional Park, a 24-acre Community
Park, two (2) Neighborhood Parks of at least five-acres each, and bicycle trails, and
riding and hiking paths traversing the property connecting to the regional
bikeway/trail system, play areas associated with schools, and child care facilities.
Since the Reuse Plan process included the accommodation of public conveyance
of approximately 35 acres of city parks and 85 acres of Urban Regional Park,
individual developers were relieved of the requirement to dedicate land for park
purposes. However, pursuant to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, the developers are
required to provide in-lieu fees or public accessible park space (where approved by
the City).
The future residential development allowed by the proposed project would not
generate an increase in the use of existing neighborhood parks since a park site
would be included in the site. However, a negligible increase in the use of regional
parks or other recreational facilities may be experienced prior to development of the
entire MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Consequently, no substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the.
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as
conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Disposition Parcel 36.

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 results 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 project site would be accessed from Moffett Drive and Harvard Avenue via
Planning Area 21 within the City of Tustin. Internal circulation of the site would be
managed through private streets designed in compliance with the roadway
standards of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 2.5.2(8) related to major
arterials and private streets standards.
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. A projected 216,445 Average Daily Trips (ADT)
would be generated by full redevelopment of the base by year 2020 that, if left
unmitigated, would overburden existing roadways and intersections surrounding
the base property. The FEIS/EIR indicates that traffic circulation activities at MCAS
Tustin generated a baseline of 12,400 ADT when the base was fully operational
(1993). As a military facility, the FEIS/EIR considered the traffic impact and
developed a mitigation program to reduce potential impacts to a level of
insignificance. The project site will be conditioned to participate in its fair share
responsibility for both on-site and off-site circulation mitigation and implementation
measures. In addition, construction activities are required to be meet all
Transportation related FEIS/EIR Implementation and Mitigation Measures (e.g.,
lane closures, street/utility construction, construction vehicle traffic, etc.). The
FEIS/EIR implementation and mitigation measures will reduce potential impacts to

the traffic and circulation system to a level of insignificance. Consequently, no
substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as

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 wa.stewater
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction
of which could cause significant environmental effects?
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?
h) Would the project include a new or retrofitted storm water treatment
control Best Management Practice (BMP), (e.g. water quality treatment
basin, constructed treatment wetlands), the operation of which could
result in significant environmental effects (e.g. increased vectors and
odors)?

Page 19
The FEIS/EIR analyzed low-density residential development on the proposed
site, which is consistent with the proposed project. Development of Planning
Area 21 would require Developer on-site improvements and off-site infrastructure
improvements to utilities and roadway systems, including final design and
construction of Moffett Avenue from Harvard Avenue to Peters Canyon Wash
Bridge. Improvements to Moffett Avenue would include design and installation
of a Class II bike trail, a new domestic water line if required by the Irvine Ranch
Water District, a new brine line, a new reclaimed water line if required by the
Irvine Ranch Water District, a new sanitary sewer line if required by the Irvine
Ranch Water District, and a storm drain with adequate capacity to accommodate
runoff from the proposed development. The developer will also be responsible
for their fair share contribution to the Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
Improvement Program which includes, but is not limited to, roadways, water and
sewer systems, and backbone underground dry utilities (electric, gas, cable TV,
telephone, etc). In addition, development of the site is required to meet federal,
state, and local standards for design of wastewater treatment. The number of
allowable residential units can be supported by the Irvine Ranch~.Water District
for domestic water and sewer services. Improvements to Peters Canyon
Channel adjacent to Parcel 36 will be the responsibility of the developer,
including all jurisdictional wetland mitigation, subject to the provisions of a
Cooperative Agreement between the developer and the City of Tustin. No
substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR; applicable measures will be recommended as
conditions of entitlement approvals for development on MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan Disposition Parcel 36.

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 range~, 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 previously considered all environmental impacts associated
with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin 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 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 January 16, 2001 and shall apply to the
proposed project, as applicable.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GENERAL PLAN
The City of Tustin is located in central Orange County and encompasses an area of ~
11.08 square miles. The City is bounded on the south by the cities ofIrvine and Santa Ana,
on the north by the unincorporated portions of the County of Orange and the City of Orange,
and on the east by unincorporated County territory and the City ofIrvine. Within the context
of the larger Southern California region, Tustin is located approximately two miles north of
Orange County's John Wayne Airport and is transected by two major regional freeways: the
1-5 (Santa Ana) Freeway, divides the City into north and south; and the SR-55 (Costa Mesa)
Freeway, divides westerly portions ofthe City. The City continues to be a discernible entity,
characterized physically by its strategic crossroads location, the former Marine Corps.Air
Station, Tustin, (closed in July 1999), hillside areas which offer sweeping panoramic views
of the Pacific Coast and Saddleback Mountains, prime commercial, industrial, and residential
development, and one of the oldest historical "old towns" in Orange County. These
signi.ficant natural and man-made characteristics provide a commonly acknowledged basis
for a "sense of place". Together, they act as a foundation for Tustin's Future...a functional
desirable and attractive community to live, work or visit.

TUSTIN PLANNING AREA
CITY OF TUSTIN
GENERAL PLAN
The Tustin Planning Area consists of approximately ~ 17.26 square
miles as shown on Figure I-I. This area includes all of the land within the
City's incorporated boundaries (~ 11.08 square miles), as well as the City
of Tustin's existing "sphere of influence" (an additional 6.2 square miles of
unincorporated county area) located immediately adjacent to the City's
northerly boundaries and approved by the Local Agency Formation
Commission as Tustin's probable ultimate physical boundaries and service
area. Two smaller additional areas of approximately 115 acres located
adjacent to the City of Tustin's southeasterly boundary are also included in
the Tustin Planning Area. Currently within the corporate limits of the City of
Irvine, a modification to the City's existing "sphere of influence" and a
municipal reorganization would be necessary to make them apart of the City
of Tustin.

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
0
There is a lack of commercial services in certain geographic areas, such
as the Irvine Business Center, which warrants consideration of additional
commercial designations.
0
Land use patterns encourage Tustin residents to rely on the automobile to
commute to work and shopping.
0
The City has the opportunity to purchase surplus freeway parcels and
develop them with uses which capitalize on their freeway accessibility.
0
Following the closure of MCAS Tustin the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan/Reuse Plan will guide future development on approximately ¥-l+
1.533 acres in the City of Tustin.
0
The annexation of certain areas in North Tustin could establish more
logical City boundaries.
0
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.
COMPATIBLE AND COMPLEMENTARY DEVELOPMENT

GENERAL PLAN
maximum pennitted density/ intensity all have an impact on the level or
intensity of development within a particular land use designation. However,
a maximum level of development may occur on individual parcels of land
where minimal constraints exist or where a project's exceptional design
quality or important public amenities/benefits warrant development at
maximum density/intensity.
The second concept of development capacity is referred to as "effective
development capacity" which assumes that under realistic circumstances, all
development will not be at maximum density or intensity based on appraisal
of development constraints in the City which would restrict development to
less than that shown by the maximum density/ intensity of the Land Use Plan.
For example, in some zoning districts, the level of development pennitted
may be based on the size of a lot; smaller lots may only be authorized to
develop at densities/intensities substantially less than pennitted by a
maximum density/intensity standard.
Table LU-3 provides a breakdown of land uses within the City and total
Planning area for purposes of identifying the effective development capacity
of the Land Use Plan for both dwelling units/population and square footage
of non-residential uses. In arriving at effective development capacity for
population growth and the number of units possible under build-out
conditions, the effective pennitted units by each specific residential land use
designation was multiplied by the average household size estimated for each
residential land use designation.
For non-residential uses, the effective level of intensity (the average floor
area factor shown in Table LU-2) was used to detennine the level of expected
future square footage of development.
The degree to which plan capacity exceeds projected population is referred to
as "overage". Some overage is desirable to make allowance for inevitable
small pockets of undevelopable land, to allow for difficulty in recognizing
development trends in completely vacant areas, to allow for an unforeseen
need for public utilities, and to recognize that some owners will maintain
their land in an undeveloped state beyond the time span of the Plan. The
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has recommended
that plan capacity overage not exceed approximately 20 to 25 percent of
the projected population. The measurement of overage is accomplished by
dividing the maximum population capacity of the plan by the projected
population. For the Tustin Planning Area, the maximum population capacity
of the Plan is 129,138 129.655. and the projected population is 103,795
104.312 resulting in an overage of approximately 24 percent.

CITY OF TUSTIN
GENERAL PLAN
is located primarily within Tustin with the exception of 9.s. 73 acres located
within the City of Irvine. One privately owned parcel of approximately 4.1
acres is immediately adjacent to the northeasterly boundary of the base and
will be included in any planning for reuse of the base. Following closure, the
MCAS Tustin property is under the jurisdictional authority of the cities of
Tustin (approximately ~ 1533 acres) and Irvine (approximately 9.s.- 73
acres), and will be subject to requirements of a Specific Plan/Reuse Plan on
the former military base and the 4.1 acre privately owned site.
The overall goal of the Specific Plan should be 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 will be permitted by the Plan, including residential,
commercial/business, and institutional/ recreational activities. Through the
federal disposition process, certain portions of the property will be available
to federal, state, homeless, and local agencies through public benefit
conveyances. Property will also be 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 to the Local Reuse Authority will be sold by the Department of
the Navy.
Future Specific Plan Study Areas
To achieve General Plan goals and objectives, other portions ofthe planning
area may be identified as Specific Plan study areas for specific plans.
If specific plans are adopted in these areas, amendment to the Special
Management Areas Policy Maps is not necessary.
Redevelopment Project Areas
State Redevelopment Law provides the mechanism whereby cities and
counties, through the adoption of an ordinance, can establish a redevelopment
agency. The Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency was created in 1976
and is made up of the City Council who are elected at large by popular vote.
Redevelopment law enables the Agency to undertake community projects
designed to improve certain areas within the City which have suffered
economic decline, deterioration of improvements, or which have been unable
to attract and promote new private investments to enhance the quality oflife
