THE PROPOSED TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FOR CONVEYANCE PURPOSES WILL NOT HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND NO ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS WILL BE PREPARED. PROJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 16792 SUBDIVIDING 86.26 ACRES INTO TWELVE (12) PARCELS FOR CONVEYANCE PURPOSES RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 3972 recommending that the City Council find that proposed Tentative Tract Map 16792 for conveyance purposes will have no environmental impacts and that the environmental checklist and analysis for Planning Commission Report Tentative Tract Map 16792 June 13, 2005 Page 2 development of the site was previously prepared and adopted by the City Council on February 22, 2005, which concluded that the development project was within the scope of the adopted FEIS/EIR for the MCAS Tustin Reuse and Specific Plan; and, 2. Adopt Resolution No. 3973 recommending that the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map 16792 to subdivide the 86.26-acre Columbus Grove site into twelve (12) parcels for conveyance purposes only. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The site is bounded by Moffett Avenue on the north, Harvard Avenue and City of Irvine medium density residential areas on the east, the Peters Canyon Flood Control Channel and Jamboree Road on the west, the future Moffett Road and low density residential areas to the north, and Warner Avenue on the south (Attachment A - Location Map) The project site is comprised of 86.26 gross acres owned by the Moffett Meadows Partners LLC, who purchased the property directly from Department of Navy through a land auction. Parcel 36 was annexed to the City of Tustin on April 13, 2005. The development applications for the site which included subdivision and construction of 465 residential units were approved by the City Council on February 22, 2005. The proposed tentative tract map is for conveyance purposes only. Moffett Meadows Partners LLC is the master developer for the site and the conveyance map would provide for financing and conveyance of the proposed parcels to the two home builder entities which include Lennar South Coast Homebuilding Division and William Lyon homes. Tentative Tract Map 16792 for Convevance Purposes The subdivision request includes division of 86.26 acres into twelve (12) parcels for conveyance purposes. The proposed tract map would include Lots 1,2,4,5,6,7,9, 10 and 11, which contain the previously approved residential development with Tentative Tract Map 16582; Lots 3 and 12, which contain the park sites and recreational areas; and Lot 8, which contains the area for future flood channel improvements. All the proposed lots have access to a public street and meet the development standards of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan for Planning Area 21 and requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and City of Tustin Subdivision Ordinance. With the City's February 22, 2005, approval of development plans for the site, numerous conditions were included to ensure compliance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, the FEIR/EIS Mitigation Monitoring Program, the Subdivision Map Act, and the City's Subdivision Ordinance. All of the conditions of approval included in Planning Commission Report Tentative Tract Map 16792 June 13, 2005 Page 3 Planning Commission Resolution No. 3947 and City Council Resolution Nos. 05-35 and 05-37 are applicable to parcels that are included in Tentative Tract Map 16792 for conveyance purposes. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION On January 17, 2001, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact StatemenVEnvironmentallmpact Report for the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan and Specific Plan (FEIS/EIR). The development plans for the project were approved by the Planning Commission on February 14, 2005, and the City Council on February 22, 2005. An environmental checklist and analysis was previously prepared for the proposed project, which concluded that all potential impacts of the project were addressed by the certified FEIS/EIR and no additional impacts have been identified (Exhibit 1 of Resolution No. 3972). The proposed subdivision is for conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no environmental impacts are anticipated. A decision to approve the proposed project may be supported by the findings contained in Resolution Nos. 3972 and 3973. ~~~ Minoo Ashabi Associate Planner ~/.dL A~)- E Izabeth A.

RESOLUTION NO. 3972 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL FIND THAT THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT/FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF MCAS TUSTIN (UFEIS/FEIR") IS ADEQUATE TO SERVE AS THE PROJECT EIS/EIR FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 16792 FOR CONVEYANCE PURPOSES AND ALL APPLICABLE MITIGATION MEASURES HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED WITH RESOLUTIONS OF APPROVAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: A. That Tentative Tract Map 16792 for conveyance purposes (Planning Area 21) is considered a "Project" pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act; B. That the FEIS/FEIR was certified by the City Council on January 16, 2001. The FEIS/EIR is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The FEIS/FEIR considered the potential environmental impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin, including development of residential uses within Planning Area 21, which were considered by the City Council on February 22, 2005 with the development application for the project area (Tentative Tract Map 16582); and, C. That an environmental checklist, attached as Exhibit A hereto, was prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the Project. The environmental analysis checklist demonstrates that the proposed conveyance map has no potential for environmental impacts and all impacts for development of the site were addressed by the certified FEIS/FEIR, and all applicable mitigation measures in the FEIS/FEIR will be implemented through the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Project previously adopted with City Council Resolution 05-35. II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council find that the project is within the scope of the previously approved Program FEIS/FEIR and that pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15168 (c) and 15162, no new effects could occur and no new mitigation measures would be required. Accordingly, no new environmental document is required by CEQA.

D D ~ ATTACHMENT 1 TO EXHIBIT A OF RESOLUTION NO. 3972 EV ALUA TION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACTS TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS 16792 (MCAS TUSTIN DISPOSITION PARCELS 35 & 36) PLANNING AREA 21 - MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN BACKGROUND 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 Moffett Avenue 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. Tentative Tract Map 16582 for development of the site with 465 residential units (211 single family detached, 68 carriage way units, and 184 condominium units) was approved by City Council on February 22, 2005. On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEISIEIR). An environmental check list was prepared for the development of the site that concluded no additional environmental impacts for the project than the impacts considered and addressed in the FEISIEIR. The proposed project includes subdivision of the 86.26 acre site area into twelve (12) parcels for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed with the project and therefore no environmental impacts are anticipated. The following infonnation provides background support for the conclusions identified in the Environmental Analysis Checklist. I. AESTHETICS - Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? The proposed subdivision is for fmancing and conveyance purposes only. No development plan is proposed with the subdivision and therefore the project will have no substantial adverse effects on a scenic vista. The proposed project has no potential for substantially damaging scenic resources, degrade the existing visual character, or create a new source of substantial light or glare. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISIEIR for MCAS Tustin.

AGRICUL TURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use? The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is associated with the project. 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 subdivision 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. Sources: FEIS/EIR for Disposal and Reuse ofMCAS Tustin MCAS Tustin Specific Plan Tustin General Plan 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 Attachment I to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3972 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Tentative Tract Map 16792 Page 3 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? The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for fmancing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The conveyance tentative tract map has no potential to violate air quality standards, or contribute to a cumulatively considerable increase of any criteria pollutant for the project region. The project will not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentration or create objectionable odor.

No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes. Sources: FEISÆIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin MCAS Tustin Specific Tustin General Plan IV. 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 ofFish 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? Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3972 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Tentative Tract Map 16792 Page 4 e) Conflict 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 proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The project has no effect on riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities identified in local or regional plans, or a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The conveyance map will not interfere with movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. 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. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin. Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required. Sources: FEISÆIR for Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin MCAS Tustin Specific Plan 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? The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The project has no potential to change the significance of a historical resource, or destroy a unique paleontological resource. The environmental analysis for the development plans was prepared and adopted by the City Council on February 22, 2005. 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 were included as conditions of approval for Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3972 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Tentative Tract Map 16792 Page 5 development of 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? The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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." In addition, since no development is proposed, the project has no potential to result in soil erosion, development on expansive soil, or expose people to risk of loss or injury involving rupture of an earthquake fault or liquefaction. An environmental analysis for the development plans was prepared and adopted by the City Council on February 22, 2005. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.

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? 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 proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. Environmental analysis for the development plans was prepared and adopted by the City Council on February 22,2005. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of Resolution No. 3972 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts Tentative Tract Map 16792 Page 7 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, 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.
