The City was designated as the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for the reuse of MCAS Tustin and, acting as such, approved a Reuse Plan that provided for future land uses at the fonDer MCAS Tustin on October 1996 and subsequently amended on 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 ("NEP A") of 1969, as amended, and the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the federal government and City prepared a Joint Final Program Environmental Impact StatementlEnvironmental 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 StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report for the disposal and reuse of MCAS- Tustin (referenced as FEIS/EIR herein). The project is within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The land was purchased by the developers directly from the Department of Navy through a land auction. The project site is comprised of 86.26 acres (gross) within a portion of Planning Area 21 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and generally bounded by the Moffett A venue to the north, a local drainage channel and Warner A venue in the City of Irvine to the south, Harvard A venue and City of Irvine residential developments to the east, and Peters Canyon Flood Channel and Jamboree Road to the west. The proposed project would develop 465 residential units including 211 single family detached, 68 carriage way units, and 184 condominium units on two parcels. Parcel 35 is located within City of Tustin and contains 326 units and Parcel 36 is located within City of Irvine and contains 139 units. Three of the units traverse city boundary lines. Parcel 36 is proposed to be annexed to City of Tustin. The annexation request and the Specific Plan Amendment/Zone Change to adopt land use and development standards for Parcel 36 will be considered separately by the City Council. In accordance with the requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.4.2.G and 3.4.3.H a total of 59 affordable units would be required as follows: Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 2 Planning Affordable Units RHNA Total Required Area (15%) 21 20 Very Low 6 Low 20 Very Low Parcel 35 11 Low 12 Moderate 17 Low 18 Moderate 30 Moderate 21 Subject to Parcel 36 requirements of City of Irvine Total 41 18 59 * Required number of Very Low, Low, Moderate Income units, and Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) units subject to requirements of City of Tustin for Parcel 35 and City of Irvine for Parcel 36. Twelve (12) of the Very Low Income units required for Parcel 35 are required to be transferred by the developer to two homeless service providers (Human Options and Orange County Interfaith Shelter) pursuant to the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan requirements. The project includes development of 6.19 acres of parkland recreational sites including 2.35 acres accessible for public and facility improvements for which parkland credit is eligible and recommended in accordance with the requirements of the Quimby Act and the City's Subdivision requirements. Access to the public park site would be provided by public access easements from Moffett A venue and Harvard A venue with recordation of an easement requiring public access in perpetuity to the park site for the general public on Tentative Tract Map 16582. A portion of the site would also include private recreational amenities available to the residents of the development. The subject site is located in Planning Area 21. As part of the analysis of the MCAS Tustin FEIRIEIS for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Planning Area 21 was identified as a Low Density Residential (LDR) site, with a development potential of 1-7 dwelling units per acre and authorized for up to 861 units (Table 3-2 of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan). With development of Parcel 34 (Tract 16507) within Planning Area 21, 189 residential units have already been approved by the City within Planning Area 21. The currently proposed project includes construction of 465 units, which combined with the 189 units on Parcel 34 is 207 dwelling units less than the 861 units assumed for Planning Area 21 in the FEISIEIR. All related environmental impacts of such development were addressed in the FEISÆIR and implementation and mitigation measures were incorporated as conditions of approval for the other entitlement portions of the project as identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Program Matrix (Attachment 2 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943). The following information provides background support for the conclusions identified in the Environmental Analysis Checklist. TI.

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 is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a scenic vista. The project would be consistent with the pennitted uses identified within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Development of low-density within Planning Area 21 that were considered within the FEISIEIR and will have no negative aesthetic effect on the site when mitigation measures identified in the FEISIEIR are incorporated with approval of the project. 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 2.17.2 as they relate to design of Moffett A venue, Harvard A venue, and primary street corners and project entries. The proposal includes 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 FEISIEIR. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEISIEIR as identified in the Mitigation and Implementation Measures matrix (Attachment 2); these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the project.

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? Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 4 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 project would not convert prime farmland, unique farmland or farmland of statewide importance as shown on maps prepared pursuant to the Fannland 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 environment 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. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

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 FEISIEIR, the project is part of larger project that was projected to result in air quality impacts. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEISIEIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. Since the project will construct 207 fewer units than previously analyzed in the FEISIEIR, no significant impact beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEISÆIR is anticipated. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Specific mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in certifying the FEISIEIR. However, the FEISÆIR also concluded that Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant and impossible to fully Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, TT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 5 mitigate.

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 FEISÆIR 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 project is within the scope of development considered with the analysis of the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. The FEISÆIR determined that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (including the proposed project) 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.

Tustin General Plan 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? 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. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEISÆIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the project.

Tustin General Plan 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. Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 7 . 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 FEISÆIR 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 FEISÆIR 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 development of the project from the analysis previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEISÆIR, compliance with existing rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is required.

Tustin General Plan 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? Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, 'IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 8 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 sucþ 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? 0 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, construction and residential uses would not emit hazardous emissions within a quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. 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 colTidor 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 FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEISIEIR, 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 interfere 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 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? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? g) Place housing within a tOO-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 tOO-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? The proposed project includes construction of 465 residential units that would increase runoff. However, the project will not result in additional impacts beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEISÆIR. The project design and construction of facilities to fully contain drainage of the site woulq be required as conditions of approval of the project. No long-term impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated for the proposed project. The proposed project will 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 1DO-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 proposed project susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.

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 FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: As identified in the FEISIEIR, 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 fonner 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 project meets the density requirements of Table 3-2 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and development standards of Planning Areas 21 to Single Family Residential Units and Multiple Family residential Units. New development standards are proposed for development of the Carriage Way units and development of condominium units on parcels less than 10 acres that will be considered as part of Specific Plan Amendment/Zone Change 04-002. The carriage way units are similar to the single family detached product with the exception of the rear yard setback since access to the garage is proposed from a rear alleyway. The new standard would create an appealing streetscape with elimination of driveway approached on the main roads. Compliance with state and local regulations and standards would avoid the creation of significant land use and planning impacts. Also, the Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, TT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 11 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. MitigationIMonitoring Required: The proposed project is consistent with the development standards of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan as identified by the adopted FEISÆIR. 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 FEISIEIR 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 FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin. MitigationIMonitoring Required: No mitigation is required. Sources: Field Observation FEISÆIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin (Page 3-91) MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (pages 3-145 through 3-154). Tustin General Plan 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? c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 12 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? The proposed project could result in implementation activities that generate noise. The FEISÆJR 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. A noise analysis was prepared for the project site that includes sensitive receptors along Moffett A venue, Harvard A venue and Peters Canyon Channel/Jamboree Road. The noise analysis concludes that special building construction will be required to achieve a 45 dB interior noise level for units along these areas. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved FEISÆJR for MCAS Tustin. However, the City of Tustin will ensure that construction activities comply with the City's Noise Ordinance and the housing units are designed with adequate noise attenuation (i.e., window design, sound walls) to meet the allowable noise levels as required by Tustin City Code for residential use. The 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 FEISÆJR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the project.

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 project would construct 465 new residential units on a site that previously contained military housing units that were vacant since 1997 and have been demolished. The proposed project will not displace people or necessitate construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The proposed number of residential units is consistent with the density than was previously considered in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

Tustin General Plan 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 site contains military housing which has been vacant since mid-1997. Development of the site would require public services such as fire and police protection services, schools, libraries, recreation facilities, and bikinglhiking trails. Fire Protection. 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 Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 14 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 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 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 project, the developer would be required to pay applicable school fees to IUSD prior to issuance of the building permit. 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 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 FEISÆIR implementation measures adopted by the Tustin City Council. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin for fire protection, police protection, and other public facilities. MitigationIMonitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEISÆIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the project. Sources: Field Observation FEISÆIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin (pages 3-47 to 3-57, 4- 56 to 4-80 and 7-21 to 7-22) MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (Pages 3-145 through 3-154). Tustin General Plan 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? Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 15 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.S-acre Regional Park, a 24-acre Community Park and two (2) Neighborhood Parks of at least five-acres each, and bike and hiking paths traversing the property connecting to the bikeway/trail system, play areas associated with schools, and child care facilities. Since the Reuse Plan process included 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). This requirement will be included in the conditions of approval for the project. 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. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEISÆIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the project. Sources: Field Observation FEISÆIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin pages 3-47 to 3-57, 4-56 to 4-80 and 7-21 to 7-22 Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (pages 3-145 through 3-154) Tustin Parks and Recreation Services Department Tustin General Plan xv. TRANSPORTATIONffRAFFIC: 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? Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, TT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 16 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 FEISÆIR 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 FEISIEIR 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 FEISIEIR considered the traffic impact and developed a mitigation program to reduce potential impacts to a level of insfgnificance. This project 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 FEISÆIR Implementation and Mitigation Measures (e.g., lane closures, street/utility construction, construction vehicle traffic, etc.). The FEISÆIR 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. Based upon the Traffic Study for Columbus Grove project (planning Area 21, the traffic generation identified for the 465 residential units is less than the Trip Budget identified in the Specific Plan. When compared with the Trip Budget contained in Chapter 3 of the Specific Plan, the proposed project ADT is decreased by 1,427. The development is also required to pay its fair share contribution to the Tustin legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program which includes major arterial and secondary roadway systems. Therefore, there would not be additional impacts associated with the proposed project's traffic. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEISÆIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the project.

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? 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 FEIRÆIR analyzed low-density 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 funding for 50 percent of the design and construction of Moffett A venue 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, a storm drain with adequate capacity to accommodate runoff from the proposed development. The developer will be responsible for its fair share contribution to Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Improvement Program which includes but is not limited to roadways, water, sewer, 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 proposed units can be supported by the Irvine Ranch Water District for domestic water and sewer services. Improvements to Peters Canyon Channel will be installed at a later date adjacent to Parcel 35 through an implementation agreement between the City of Tustin and the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) as previously required by the adopted FEISIEIR. Improvements adjacent to Parcel 36 will be the responsibility of the developer including all jurisdictional wetland mitigation subject to 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 FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin.

MANDA TORY 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 èffects 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 of wildlife populations or decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. With the enforcement of FEISÆIR 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 FEISÆIR previously consídered 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 FEISÆIR. Mitigation measures were identified in the FEISÆIR to reduce impact but not to a level of insignificance. A Statement of Overnding Consideration for the FEISÆIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEISÆIR previously considered all environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3943 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts ZC 04-002, CP 03-004, IT 16582, DR 04-004, Density Bonus Page 19 Plan. Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR and would be included in the project as applicable. Sources: Field Observations FEISÆIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin (pages 5-4 through 5-11) Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan (pages 3-145 through 3-154). Tustin General Plan CONCLUSION The summary concludes that all of the proposed project's effects were previously examined in the FEISÆIR 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 Oveniding Considerations were adopted for the FEISÆIR on January 16,2001 and shall apply to the proposed project, as applicable.
