(MCAS TUSTIN DISPOSITION PARCELS 35 & 36)
PLANNING AREA 21 - 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 Authority (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 (HOD) as consistent with federal law regarding the homeless.
In accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") ofl969, 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 StatementlEnvironmentai Impact Report
for the disposal and reuse ofMCAS- Tustin (referenced as FEISÆIR herein).
The project is within the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. The land was purchased by the developers
directly nom 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 Avenue to the north, a local
drainage channel and Warner Avenue in the City oflrvine to the south, Harvard Avenue 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:

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 nom Moffett A venue and Harvard Avenue 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
FEIR/EIS 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 FEISÆIR. 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.

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) SubstantiaUy 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 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 Avenue, Harvard Avenue, 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.

AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether Impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in
assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?

b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract?
C) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use?
The project would not convert prime farmland, unique farmland or farmland of statewide
importance as shown on maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Managing and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. Also, the
property is not zoned for agricultural use or a Williamson Act Contract, nor does the
proposed use involve other changes in the existing 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

III.
AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
As documented in the FEISÆIR, the project is part of larger project that was projected to
result in air quality impacts. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FElSÆIR was
adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. Since the project will construct
207 fewer units than previously analyzed in the FEISÆIR, 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 FEISÆIR. However, the FEISÆIR also concluded that
Reuse Plan related operational air quality impacts were significant and impossible to fully

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or
by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal
pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or
other means?
d) 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) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state
habitat conservation plan?
The FEIS/EIR found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan
would not result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered plant or animal
species. The proposed 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 FEISIEIR for
MCAS Tustin.

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 (8HPO) 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 nom 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.

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 evidenee of a known fault? Refer
to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.

. Strong seismic ground shaking?
. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
. Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that Is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building
Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
The 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 FEISIEIR 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 ÍÌ"om 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.

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 bas
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?
1) 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 witlùn 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 nom John Wayne Airport, and does not lie
witlùn 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 nom 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?
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?
b) 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 FEISIEIR. 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 project will not impact groundwater in the deep regional aquifer or shallow
aqlÙfer. The proposed project would not include groW1dwater removal or alteration of
historic drainage patterns at the site. The project is not located within a 1O0-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
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 FEISÆIR, 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 inftastructure 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 nom 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 nom the analysis previously
completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.

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 mineraI resource recovery
site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Chapter 3.9 of the FEISÆIR 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 nom the analysis
previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.

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?

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
FEISÆIR 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 Avenue, Harvard Avenue 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 ÍÌ"om the analysis previously completed in the approved
FEISÆIR 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.

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 nom the analysis previously completed in the FEISIEIR for MCAS
Tustin.

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-I 997. 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 rneet existing Orange County
Fire Authority (OCFA) regulations regarding demolition, construction materials and
methods, emergency access, water mains, fire flow, fire hydrants, sprinkler systems,
building setbacks, and other relevant regulations. Adherence to these regulations would
reduce the risk of uncontrollable fire and increase the ability to efficiently provide fire
protection services to the site. The number of fire stations in the areas surrounding the
site will meet the demands created by the proposed project.

Page 14
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 Reauirements: 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
FE1SÆIR for MCAS Tustin for fire protection, police protection, and other public
facilities.
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.

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?

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 84.5-acre Regional Park, a 24-acre Community Park and
two (2) Neighborhood Parks of at least five-acres each, and bike and lúking 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 FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin
City Council in the FEISIEIR; these measures would be included as conditions of approval
for the project.

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC: 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, tbe volume to capacity ratio on roads, or
congestion at intersections)?
b) Exceed, either Individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads
or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, Including either an increase in traffic
levels or a change In location that results in substantial safety risks?

d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
1) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs

supporting alternative
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 (ADI) 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 FEISÆIR
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 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.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water
Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or 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 FEIRIEIR 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 Avenue nom
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 win 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 FEISÆIR. 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 nom the analysis previously completed in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fISh or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project bave 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 of wildlife populations or
decrease or threaten, eliminate, or reduce animal ranges, etc. With the enforcement of
FEISIEIR 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 FEISIEIR 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 FEISIEIR. Mitigation measures were identified in the FEISIEIR to reduce
impact but not to a level of insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the
FEISlElR 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 FEISIEIR on January 16, 200 I and shall apply to the proposed
project, as applicable.
