AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN AND DENSITY BONUS AND TRANSFER OF
AFFORDABLE UNITS
(MCAS TUSTIN REUSE DISPOSAL PARCELS 23 & 24)
PLANNING AREA 4 & 5 - MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN
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 Authonty (LRA) for the reuse of MCAS Tustin and,
acting as such, approved a Reuse Plan that provided for future land uses at the former 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 (BUD) 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 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 Statement/Environmental 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 105.5 acres (gross) within Planning Areas 4 and 5 of the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan and bounded by the Edinger Avenue on the north, North Loop Road on the
south, existing industrial park on the west, and West connector on the east. Access to the site is
provided mainly from Edinger Avenue
The proposed project would develop 1,077 residential units as follows:
84 single family detached units
199 carriage way units
552 multiple family residential
242 units (senior housing project)
Total 1,077 units
The project also includes a request for a density bonus to construct 63 additional units in
Planning Area 4 and 119 units in Planning Area 5 for a total of 182 units. In addition, since
Planning Area 4 and 21 are intended for low density development, the applicant has requested to
transfer twenty-five (25) of the required units for Very Low and Low income families from
Planning Area 21 to Planning Area 5 and eight (8) of Very Low and Low income units and
fourteen (14) of the Moderate income units from Planning Area 4 to Planning Area 5, which
allows medium density development.

In accordance with the requirements of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Section 3.4.2.G and
3.4.3.H a total of241 affordable units would be required as follows:
Planning Affordable Units RHNA Total Required

PA5 37 Very Low 37 Very Low
22 Low 38 Low 60 Low
34 Moderate 16 Moderate 50 Moderate
Total = 93 Total = 54 Total = 147
Total 134 107 241
The project includes development of 6.33 acres of parkland recreational sites including 3.66
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 sites would be provided by public access
easements in perpetuity from two entry points to the site with recordation of an easement on
Tentative Tract Map 16581. A portion of the site would also include private amenities available
to the residents of the development.
As part of the analysis of the MCAS Tustin FEIS/EIR for the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan,
Planning Area 4 was identified as a Low Density Residential (LDR) site, with a development
potential of 1-7 dwelling units per acre and Planning Area 5 was identified as a Medium Density
Residential (MDR) site, with a development potential of 8-15 dwelling units per acre. There
were a total of 274 military housing units within Planning Area 4 (Table 3-1, MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan). These units were in dilapidated and have been demolished.
In accordance with Table 3-2 of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Planning Area 4 includes 43.3 net
acres with potential development of 304 maximum units at 7 units per acre that was considered
for the FEIS/EIR analysis. However, the Planning Area 4 site includes only 39.1 net acres
(adjusted with adjustment of Severyns Road), and therefore potential for a maximum of 274
units. In addition a density bonus is requested for 63 additional units that would increase the
density to 8.62 dwelling units per acre.
In accordance with Table 3-2 of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Planning Area 5 includes 41.1 net
acres with potential development of 621 maximum units at 15 units per acre. The proposed
development includes 42.2 net acres (modified with adjustment of Severyns Road), and therefore
potential for a maximum of 633 units. In addition a density bonus is requested for 119 additional
units more than the 633 maximum units based on the net area of the site that would increase the
density to 17.54 dwelling units per acre.

The project includes 152 additional units more than the analysis included in the FEISÆIR for
number of units in Planning Area 4 and Planning Area 5. Potential impact on the increased
number of units will be discussed in each category.
All related environmental impacts of such development were addressed in the FEISÆIR and
implementation and mitigation measures were incorporated into the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan,
which are included in the DDA or with 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. 3949).

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 permitted uses identified within the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan. Development of low-density and medium-density residential units within Planning
Areas 4 and 5 were considered within the FEIS/EIR and will have no negative aesthetic
effect on the site when mitigation measures identified in the FEIS/EIR are incorporated
with approval of the project. All exterior design is required to be in compliance with
Section 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
Edinger Avenue, North Loop Road, and West Connector, and primary street comers 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
FEIS/EIR.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEISÆIR as identified in the Mitigation and Implementation Measures
matrix (Attachment 2); these measures would be included as conditions of approval for the
project.

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?
As documented in the FEIS/EIR, the project site is part of MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan that
contained 702 acres of farmland. The FEIS/EIR concluded that there would be no viable
long-term mitigation to off-set the impact of converting farmland on MCAS Tustin to urban
uses.
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 impacts to farmland were significant and impossible to fully mitigate. A
Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City
Council on January 16, 2001.

III.
AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Concept Plan 03-003, TT 16581, DR 04-006
Page 5
c) result i~ 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 project is part of 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 project will construct
only 152 additional units more than analysis in the FEIS/EIR, which is below the threshold
established for air quality impact for residential development (Table 6-2, 1993 South Coast
Air Quality Management District, CEQA Air Quality Handbook) no significant impact
beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEIS/EIR is anticipated.
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 Calüornia
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?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 6
d) Inteñere 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) . Confliét with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
1) 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 project is within 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 (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 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?
A portion of the existing blimp pads are within the project site boundary that were identified
as part of a Discontiguous Historic District. The Navy, State Office of Historic Preservation
(SHPO), and Advisory Council executed Memorandum of Agreement (attached as part of
the EIS/EIR) with City of Tustin and County of Orange as invited signatories allowed for
the destruction of the blimp pads. The EIS/EIR noted that it may not be fmancially feasible
to retain the blimp hangers and there maybe irreversible significant impacts. A Statement of
Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on
January 16,2001.

Numerous archaeological surveys have been conducted at the former MCAS Tustin site. In
1988, the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) provided written concurrence that all
open spaces on MCAS Tustin had been adequately surveyed for archaeological resources.
Although one archaeological site (CA-ORA-381) has been recorded within the Reuse Plan
area, it is believed to have been destroyed. It is possible that previously unidentified buried
archaeological or paleontological resources within the project site could be significantly
impacted by grading and construction activities. With the inclusion of mitigation measures
that require construction monitoring, potential impacts to cultural resources can be reduced
to a level of insignificance. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval for
the project.

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?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Concept Plan 03-003, TT 16581, DR 04-006
Page 8
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
development of the project from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR 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.

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?
t) 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?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Concept Plan 03-003, TT 16581, DR 04-006
Page 9
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. There are four
sites that have been classified as hazardous waste sites; IRP-16, IRP -13W, IRP-13S and
UST-268. The FEISÆIR notes that these sites would be remediated to residential standards
prior to conveyance from the Navy. The applicant has indicated that IRP-16, which
underlies the main entry to the site and is part of phase I (model home) development has
been released from the Department of Navy and no further action is required on that site.
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.

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: - Would the project:
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Concept Plan 03-003, TT 16581, DR 04-006
Page 10
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'.
t) 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 1,077 residential units 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 project. No long-term
impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated for the proposed project. The
proposed projects 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 100-year flood area
and will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury and death
involving flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam, nor is the proposed project
susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
Construction operations would be required to comply with the Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for the Newport Bay watershed that requires compliance with the Drainage Area
Master Plan (DAMP) and National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and
the implementation of specific best management practices (BMP). Compliance with state
and local regulations and standards, along with established engineering procedures and
techniques, would avoid unacceptable risk or the creation of significant impacts related to
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Concept Plan 03-003, TT 16581, DR 04-006
Page 11
such hazards. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEISÆIR 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
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 project meets the density requirements of Table 3-2 of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan and development standards of Planning Areas 4 and 5 as they relate to Single Family
Residential Units and Multiple Family residential Units as noted in Sections 3.4.2 and 3.4.3
of MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. New development standards were proposed for development
of the Carriage Way units that will be considered as a specific plan amendment. These 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 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.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The proposed project is consistent with the development
standards 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.

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?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the
project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
Attachment 1 of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949

Page 13
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?
1) 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
FEIS/EIR indicates that full build-out of the base will create noise impacts that would be
considered significant if noise levels experienced by sensitive receptors would exceed those
considered "normally acceptable" for the applicable land use categories in the Noise
Elements of the Tustin General Plan. A noise analysis was prepared for the project site that
includes sensitive receptors along Edinger Avenue, ValenciaINorth Loop Road, and West
Connector 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 FEIS/EIR 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 FEISÆIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval
for the project.

POPULATION & HOUSING: Would the project:
Attachment I of Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3949
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Concept Plan 03-003, TT 16581, DR 04-006
Page 14
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 1,077 new residential units on a site that included 274
existing 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 FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. The project will remove vacant
military housing units and include 155 additional units more than 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 site contains military housing which has been vacant since mid-1997. Development of
the site would require public services such as fIfe and police protection services, schools,
libraries, recreation facilities, and biking/hiking trails.
Fire Protection. The proposed project will be required to meet existing Orange County
Fire Authority (OCF A) 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.

Page 15
Police Protection. The need for police protection services is assessed on the basis of
resident population estimates, square footage of non-residential uses, etc. Development of
the site would increase the need for police protection services. The developer as a condition
of approval for the project would be required to work with the Tustin Police Department to
ensure that adequate security precautions such as visibility, lighting, emergency access,
address signage are implemented in the project at plan check.
Schools. The proposed project is located within Tustin Unified School District (TUSD).
The implementation of the Reuse Plan would provide two 10-acre sites for elementary
schools and a 40-acre high school site to serve the growing student population within its
district. Based on the student generation factors of 0.29 per unit for grades K-5; 0.127
student per units for grades 6-8; 0.153 student per unit for grades 9-12, and the potential
of 2,585 dwelling units developed within the TUSD boundaries, the EIS/EIR noted that
reuse development would generate approximately 750 students for grades K-5, 328
students for grades 6-8, and 395 students for grades 9-12 for a total of 1,473 students.
The total number of units considered in the EIR/EIS for Planning Areas 4 and 5 was 925
units. The applicant is requesting approval of 152 additional units as part of a density
bonus request. The total number of residential units will be increased to 1,077 units and
the additional 152 units would generate 87 additional students (5.9% increase). As part of
development of Columbus Square, a senior housing project is also proposed that includes
242 units. Using the student factors noted above, if these units were developed as family
units, they would have generated 138 students. Therefore, with consideration of the
senior housing units, the overall number of students are anticipated to decrease by 51
students (138 - 87 = 51) from the total number of students considered in the FEIR/EIS
analysis.
The proposed density bonus units will not increase the potential number of students
considered by the certified FEIRÆIS. The TUSD will receive its statutory school impact
fees per Senate Bill 50 from both residential and commercial development. As a
condition of approval for the project, the developer will be required to pay applicable
school fees prior to issuance of the building permit. In summary, no new additional
students are anticipated beyond what was considered in the FEIR/EIS for the Disposal
and Reuse of MCAS, Tustin, and in any event, City required mitigation is limited by
State law to requiring payment of the SB 50 school impact fees."
Other Public Facilities (Libraries). Implementation of the entire Reuse Plan would only
result in a library demand of up to approximately 2,500 square feet of library space. This
relatively small amount of space is well below the library system's general minimum size of
10,000 square feet for a branch library and would not trigger the need for a new facility.
General 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 FEIS/EIR
implementation measures adopted by the Tustin City Council.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.

XIV. RECREA TI ON
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 proj~ct 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 and
three (3) Neighborhood Parks of more than five-acres, and five (5) community riding and
hiking paths through the property connecting to the regional bikeway/trail system, a
privately owned 159-acre golf course, play areas associated with schools, and child care
facilities.
Since the Reuse Plan process included public conveyance of city parks and an 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 FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval

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 result in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
t) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
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 FEISÆIR
considered the traffic impact and developed a mitigation program to reduce potential
impacts to a level of insignificance. This 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 tra~c 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.
Based upon the Traffic Study for Columbus Square (PA-4 and PA-5), the traffic
generation identified for the 1,077 units is less than the Trip Budget identified in the
Specific Plan. The proposed project ADT is decreased by 726 trips (compared with the
Trip Budget) with the proposed development. 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 FEIS/EIR; 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?
1) 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 FEIR/EIR analyzed low-density and medium 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 design and construction of full width improvements on
Severyns Road; curb and gutter on project entries at Valencia Loop Road/Lot P and West
Connector Road/Lot T; sidewalk and curb ramps along both sides of Severyns Road, the
south side of Edinger Avenue, north side of Valencia North Loop Road, and west side of
West Connector Road; storm drain, domestic water, reclaimed water, sanitary sewer, and
dry utility service systems necessary to serve the site, landscape and irrigation on
Severyns Road, on the south side of Edinger Avenue and on the Edinger Avenue median,
on the north side of Valencia North Loop Road and on the west side of West Connector
Road; and traffic signals at Valencia North Loop Road/Lot P and West Connector
Road/Lot T. 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.

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 ¡ISh or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects
of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will. cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Based upon the foregoing, the proposed project does not have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitats or wildlife populations to
decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. With the enforcement of
FEIS/EIR mitigation and implementation measures approved by the Tustin City Council,
the proposed project does not cause unmitigated environmental effects that will cause
substantial effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the proposed
project does have air quality impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of the reuse and redevelopment of
the fonner 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 FEISÆIR. Mitigation measures were identified in the FEISÆIR to reduce
impact but not to a level of insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the
FEISÆIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.

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.
