out the Redevelopment Plan ("Redevelopment Plan") for the Town Center
Redevelopment Project ("Project Area") which was adopted by the
Agency's legislative body, the City Council of the City of Tustin ("City
Council"), by Ordinance No. 701 on November 22, 1976, and thereafter
amended by Ordinance No. 855 on September 8, 1981 (Amendment No.

SB 1045 further provides that such ordinance may be adopted without

Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.)
