environmental impacts and that the environmental analysis checklist for
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 Marine Corps Air Station
(MCAS) Tustin Reuse and Specific Plan;
2.
Adopt Resolution No. 3975 recommending that the City Council approve
Tentative Tract Map 16857 to subdivide the 105.5-acre Columbus Square site
into fifteen (15) numbered lots and five (5) lettered lots for conveyance purposes
only.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The site is bounded by Edinger Avenue on the north and a future fire station site at the
southwest corner of Edinger Avenue and West Connector Road, West Connector Road
on the east, Valencia/North Loop Road on the south, and an existing industrial office
complex and Severyns Road on the west.
The project site is comprised of 105.5 gross acres owned by the Moffett Meadows
Partners LLC, who purchased the property directly from Department of Navy through a
land auction.
The development applications for the site which included subdivision and construction
of 1,077 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 conveyance of the proposed parcels to two home builders which include
Lennar South Coast Homebuilding Division and William Lyons homes.
Tentative Tract Map 16857 for Convevance Purposes
The subdivision request includes division of 105.5 acres into fifteen (15) numbered lots
and five (5) lettered lots for conveyance purposes. The proposed tract map would
include Lots 1 through 15, which contain areas that were previously approved for
residential development with Tentative Tract Map 16581; and lots A through E which
contain the park / recreational and the open space areas.
All of the proposed lots have direct access to a public street and meet the development
standards of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan for Planning Areas 4 and 5 and
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and City of Tustin Subdivision Ordinance.
While the Moffett Meadows Partners, LLC, has taken ownership of the majority of the
project site, there are areas that have been classified as hazardous waste sites (I RP-16,
IRP -13W, IRP-13S and UST-268) that have not yet been conveyed to Moffett Meadows
Partners, LLC by Department of Navy pending completion of environmental remediation
work. Recently, the applicant has indicated that the Department of Navy is in the process
Planning Commission Report
Tentative Tract Map 16857

of conveying two of the four parcels, IRP-16 and UST-268. The quitclaim deeds have not
been signed and recorded, but given that the Navy will be conveying the two parcels
within the next few weeks, the parcels are not depicted on the tentative tract map.
Condition 1.8 of Resolution No. 3975 requires that prior to final map recordation, the
quitclaim deeds for IRP-16 and UST-286 be executed and recorded.
The project site also includes a twenty-five (25) foot Edison easement that runs north
and south from Edinger Avenue to Valencia/North Loop Road recorded in 1922, which
has been abandoned. However, Moffett Meadows Partners LLC has requested that
Edison formally vacate the abandoned easement. Condition 1.9 requires that the
Edison easement be vacated prior to approval of the final conveyance map.
With approval of the development plans for the site, numerous conditions were included
to ensure compliance with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, the FEIS/EIR Mitigation
Monitoring Program, the Subdivision Map Act, and the City's Subdivision Ordinance. All
of the conditions of approval included in Planning Commission Resolution No. 3953 and
City Council Resolution Nos. 05-38 and 05-40 are applicable to parcels that are
included in Tentative Tract Map 16857 for conveyance purposes.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
On January 17, 2001, the City Council certified the FEIS/EIR for Reuse and Disposal of
MCAS Tustin. 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.
3974).
The proposed subdivision is for conveyance purposes only and no development is
proposed. No environmental impacts are anticipated.
A decision to approve the proposed project may be supported by the findings contained
in Resolution Nos. 3974 and 3975.

RESOLUTION NO. 3974
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 ("FEIS/FEIR") IS ADEQUATE TO SERVE AS THE PROJECT
EIS/EIR FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 16857 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 16857 for conveyance purposes (Planning
Areas 4 and 5) is considered a "Project" pursuant to the terms of the
California Environmental Quality Act; and,
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 Areas 4 and 5, which were considered by the City Council on
February 22, 2005, with the development application for the project area
(Tentative Tract Map 16581).
C.
That an environmental analysis study 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 05-38.
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.

TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS 16857 FOR CONVEYANCE PURPOSES
(MCAS TUSTIN DISPOSITION PARCELS 23& 24)
PLANNING AREAS 4 & 5 - MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN
BACKGROUND
The project site is comprised of 105.5 acres (gross) within a Planning Areas 4 & 5 of the MCAS
Tustin Specific Plan and generally bounded by the Edinger A venue 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
Tentative Tract Map 16581 for development of the site with 1,077 residential units was approved
by City Council on February 22, 2005.
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact
StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin
(FEISÆIR). 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 FEISÆIR.
The proposed project includes subdivision of a 1O5.5-acre site area into fifteen (15) numbered
parcels and five (5) lettered parcels for 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 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.

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 proposed subdivision is for 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 FEISÆIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state

ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for 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 FEISIEIR 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 FEISIEIR
for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEISIEIR; these measures were included as conditions of approval for
development of the site. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site for
conveyance purposes.

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) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife
corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?

e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
t) 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 conveyance purposes only.
No development is proposed and no impacts are anctiicpated. The project has no effect on
riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community 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

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 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
development of the project. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site
for conveyance purposes.

VI.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS: - Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the
risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the State Geologist
for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer
to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
. 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 conveyance purposes only.
No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. 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." 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 FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR; these measures were included as conditions of approval for
development of the project. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of the site
for conveyance purposes.

wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or
where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The proposed subdivision is for 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 fÌ'om the analysis previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for
MCAS Tustin.
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 fÌ'om John Wayne

VIII. 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?
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 is a request for subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes only.
No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The proposed project will not
impact groundwater in the deep regional aquifer or shallow aquifer. The project is not

CONCLUSION
The summary concludes that the proposed conveyance map will have no environmental impacts
and all environmental effects of the development project were previously examined in the
FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin, and 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.
