development at Tustin Legacy to obtain a DA in accordance with Section
65864 et seq. of the Government Code and Sections 9600 to 9619 of the TCC.
The DA can be supported by the following findings:
1. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses
and programs specified in the General Plan and the Tustin Legacy
Specific Plan in that residential uses are permitted uses within Planning
Areas 8, 13 and 14 of Neighborhood D.
2. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which
the real property is located (Planning Areas 8, 13 and 14) in that similar
and compatible uses are envisioned within the close proximity of the
project site.
3. The project is *in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience,
general welfare, and good land use practices in that the project would
provide three (3) product types within the 400 new housing units for new
and existing Tustin residents thereby providing additional options for
housing to the City's housing stock.

C. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: See Attached.
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported
by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact"
answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does
not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No
Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general
standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific
screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,
or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that
an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less
Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain
how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses,"
as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).
In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a. Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on . the earlier
analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they, address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside
document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is
substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies
should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental
effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b. the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance

Issues:
I. AESTHETICS.
Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section
21099.
Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse
effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic
resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rocks
outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic
highway?
C) In nonurbanized areas,
substantially degrade the
existing visual character or
quality of public views of the site
and its surrounding's? (Public
views are those that are
experienced from publicly
accessible vantage point). If the
project is in an urbanized area,
would the project conflict with
applicable zoning and other
regulations governing scenic
quality?
d) Create a new source of
substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES.
In determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,
lead agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site

and farmland. In determining whether impacts to
forest resources, including timberland, are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies
may refer to information compiled by the
California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest
land, including the Forest and Range Assessment
Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment
project; and forest carbon measurement
methodology provided in Forest Protocols
adopted by the California Air Resources Board.
Issues:
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) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause
rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(g)),
timberland (as defined by Public Resources
Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by
Government Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion
of forest land to non -forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non -forest use?

PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report' (FEIS/EIR) for the reuse and disposal of MCAS
Tustin. On December 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 04-76 approving a
Supplement to the FEIS/EIR for the extension of Tustin Ranch Road between Walnut Avenue and
the future alignment of Valencia North Loop Road. On April 3, 2006, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 06-43 approving an Addendum to the FEIS/EIR. On May, 13, 2013, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 13-32 approving a second Addendum to the FEIS/EIR. On July
5, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 17-23 approving a second Supplement to the
FEIS/EIR in conjunction with Specific Plan Amendment 2016-01 (Ordinance 1482) for the Tustin
Legacy Specific Plan (formerly MCAS Tustin Specific Plan). The FEIS/EIR, along with its
addendums and supplements, is a program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The FEIS/EIR, addendums and supplemental considered the potential environmental
impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin. The
FEIS/EIR along with its Addenda and Supplement is a program EIR under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIS/EIR, Addenda and Supplement considered the
potential environmental impacts associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air
Station, Tustin.
The FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplement analyzed the environmental consequences of the
Navy disposal and local community reuse of the MCAS Tustin site per the Reuse Plan and the
Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (referred to in this document as the Specific Plan). The CEQA
analysis also analyzed the environmental impacts of certain "Implementation Actions" that the
City of Tustin and City of Irvine must take to implement the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan.
The Tustin Legacy Specific Plan proposed and the FEIS/EIR analyzed a multi-year
development period for the planned urban reuse project (Tustin Legacy). When individual
discretionary activities within the Specific Plan are proposed, the lead agency is required to
examine the individual activities to determine if their effects were fully analyzed in the FEIS/EIR.
The agency can approve the activities as being within the scope of the project covered by the
FEIS/EIR. If the agency finds that pursuant to Sections 15162, 15163, 15164, and 15183 of the
CEQA Guidelines no new effects would occur, nor would a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects occur, then no supplemental or subsequent EIR is
required.
PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is approximately 25.4 gross acres located within the Tustin Legacy Specific
Plan (Tustin Legacy) boundaries affecting Disposition Parcel 2C and 8. The project site is
bounded by future Airship Avenue to the north, Street 'D' to the east, Alley Grove Promenade to
the south, and Street 'B' to the west within Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14 of Neighborhood D,
Tustin Legacy Specific Plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for Disposition Parcels 2C and 8, General Plan
Conformity, Development Agreement 2019-00001, Design Review 2019-00009, and Tentative
Tract Map 19103 are development applications to construct 400 residential condominium units
comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached townhomes,
and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes in addition to common areas such as open
space and paseos, recreation facility including a swimming pool and outdoor barbeque area,
and necessary infrastructures and street system to support the proposed development. The site
is bounded by future Airship Avenue to the north, Street `D' to the east, Alley Grove Promenade
to the south, and Street 'B' to the west. The proposed project requires approval of General Plan
Conformity, a Development Agreement, Design Review and a Tentative Tract Map. The
disposition and conveyance of the project site requires a Disposition and Development
Agreement. The project has been designed to enhance livability by integrating three (3)
distinctive housing styles as follows:
Metro Flats. There are 154 attached flats and townhome condominiums ranging from 1,038 to
2,213 square feet with 1-3 bedrooms. Each of the seven (7) motorcourt flats buildings contain
twenty-two (22) residential units.
Townhomes. There are 129 attached row townhome condominiums ranging from 1,965 to
2,295 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms. Each of the forty-three (43) triplex townhome buildings
include three (3) residential units.
Single Family Detached. There are 117 single-family detached condominiums ranging from
2,432 to 3,330 square feet in size with 3-5 bedrooms.
Generally, the applications can be described as follows:
• Disposition and Development Agreement for Disposition Parcel 2C and 8:
The Disposition and Development Agreement for Disposition Parcels 2C and 8 (DDA) is the
agreement between the applicant and the City for the proposed disposition and conveyance
of the proposed project site.
• General Plan Conformity:
The General Plan Conformity is used to determine that the location, purpose, and extent of
the proposed disposition of an approximately 25.4 -acre site (Lots 2 and 5-10 of Tract 19103)
within Neighborhood D of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan for the development of 400
residential condominium units is in conformance with the approved General Plan.
• Development Agreement 2019-00001:
Pursuant to Section 4.2.7 of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan, prior to issuance of any
permits or approval of any entitlements within the Specific Plan area, all private
development shall first obtain a Development Agreement in accordance with the State's
Government Code and Tustin City Code. The purpose of the Development Agreement is to
strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive
planning, and reduce economic risk of development. Accordingly, Brookfield Residential
has submitted a Development Agreement to augment and further the purpose and intent of
the General Plan and Specific Plan, and Final EIS/EIR and will ensure the orderly
implementation of infrastructure and development. The Development Agreement also
includes schedule of performance, obligations, and phasing triggering mechanism that

ensure adequate local and Tustin Legacy backbone infrastructure program are in place to
support the proposed development.
• Design Review 2019-00009:
Pursuant to Section 4.2.2 of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan, individual development shall
require Site Plan and Design Review in accordance with the Tustin City Code. Design
Review 2019-00009 has been proposed for the project site planning and design. The
proposed project design and site layout are consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan
and complies with design review criteria prescribed in the Tustin City Code.
• Tentative Tract Map 19103:
The proposed Tentative Tract Map is a condominium subdivision of an approximately 25.4 -
acre site into 73 numbered lots and 10 lettered lots for the development of 400 residential
condominium units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story
attached townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes in addition to
common areas such as open space and paseos, recreation facility including a swimming
pool and outdoor barbeque area, and necessary infrastructures and street system to support
the proposed development.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
An Environmental Analysis Checklist has been completed and it has been determined that this
Project is witliin the scope of the Prior Environmental Review and that pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21166 and Title 14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15162
and 15168(c), there are no substantial changes in the project requiring major revisions to the
Prior Environmental Review, no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions to the Prior
Environmental Review, or any new information which was not known and could not have been
known at the time the Prior Environmental Review was certified showing that: (1) the project will
have any new significant effects; (2) significant effects previously examined will be substantially
more severe; (3) mitigation measures or alternatives previously determined to be infeasible will
now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project but
the City declined to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (4) mitigation measures or
alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects on the environment, but the City declined to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative. Accordingly, no new environmental document is required by CEQA.
The following information 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?
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DDA, GPC, DA 2019-00001, DR 2019-00009, and TTM 19103
Page 4
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium units
comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as mixed-
use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the
approved Specific Plan. The project is not located on a scenic highway nor will it affect a
scenic vista. The development of residential units within Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14
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 3.19 — Urban
Design Guidelines of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposal includes Design
Review application, which requires that the Planning Commission and City Council review
and ensure the design of the project, if approved, is found to be 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 3.19.3d of the Tustin Legacy 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, the Supplemental and
Addendums.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to aesthetics. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project
is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial
importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or alternatives that were
not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or
Addendums were certified as completed.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No new impacts or substantially more severe aesthetic
impacts would result from the adoption and implementation of the Project; therefore, no
new or revised mitigation measures are required for aesthetics and visual quality. No
refinements related to the Project are necessary to the FEIS/EIR mitigation measures and
no new mitigation measures are required. Mitigation measures were adopted by the
Tustin City Council in the FEIS/EIR, Addendums and Supplemental; and applicable
measures will be required to be complied with as conditions of entitlement approvals for
future development of the site.

II. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY 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. In determining whether
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DDA, GPC, DA 2019-00001, DR 2019-00009, and TTM 19103
Page 5
impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental
effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of
forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest
Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology
provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.
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) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined
in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public
Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as
defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non -forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location
or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forestland to non -forest use?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. As documented in the FEIS/EIR, the project site is part
of Tustin Legacy Specific 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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to agricultural resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
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

1111. 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) 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)?
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
d) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium units
comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as mixed-
use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the
approved Specific Plan. As documented in the FEIS/EIR, the project is part of a larger
reuse project at Tustin Legacy that was projected to result in air quality impacts that cannot
be fully mitigated. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted
by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001. The site is presently not in use. The
project applicant proposes to construct within the maximum allowable residential units in
Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14 of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. Therefore, no significant
impact beyond what was analyzed in the adopted FEIS/EIR is anticipated.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to air quality. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project
is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial
importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives that was not
known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.
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.

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 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?
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 proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. The FEIS/EIR found that implementation of the Reuse
Plan and Tustin Legacy 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, the Supplementals
and Addendums for MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR determined that implementation of the
Reuse Plan and Tustin Legacy 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 has been surveyed, and turtles were
captured and moved off the site to another location as directed and overseen by the
California Department of Fish and Game. Since that time, all former Marine Corps base
drainage channels in the area were removed and graded by the former owner of the
property with the required 401, 404 and 1601 permits issued by Fish and Game, Army
Corps of Engineers, and Regional Water Quality Control Board. Consequently, the
proposed project would not affect the southwestern pond turtle or have an impact on
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

jurisdictional waters or wetlands. No substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to biological resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation
measures or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR was certified as complete.

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) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal
cemeteries?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. It should be noted that the former MCAS Tustin
contained two National Register listed blimp hangars, and several concrete or asphalt
blimp landing pads that were considered historically or culturally significant, pursuant to
the federal Section 106 process conducted at the site. Through the Section 106
process, these facilities were identified as part of a discontiguous Historic District. The
Navy, State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO), and Advisory Council executed a
Memorandum of Agreement (attached as part of the EIS/EIR) with City of Tustin and
County of Orange as invited signatories that allowed for the destruction of the blimp
pads. The EIS/EIR noted that it may not be financially feasible to retain the blimp
hangars and there may be irreversible significant impacts. A Statement of Overriding
Consideration for the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16,
2001. Consistent with the above referenced agreement, the previous owner of the
property removed the blimp pad from the project site and leveled the property. However,
no portion of the previously existing blimp landing pads nor the existing blimp hangars
are located within the project site boundary.

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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to cultural resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effect or mitigation measures or alternatives
that was not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR was certified as
complete.
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.

Vl. ENERGY — Would the project:
a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful,
inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project
construction or operation?
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy
efficiency?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan, which also allows for commercial, retail, and
institutional uses.
The main forms of available energy supply are electricity, natural gas, and oil. A
description of the 2016 California Green Building Standards Code (CBSC), otherwise
known as the CAL Green Code (CCR Title 24, Part 11), became effective on January 1,
2017. The purpose of the CAL Green Code is to improve public health, safety, and
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 10
general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of
building concepts having a reduced negative impact or positive environmental impact
and encouraging sustainable construction practices.
Construction of the proposed project would involve on-site energy demand and
consumption related to use of oil in the form of gasoline and diesel fuel for construction
worker vehicle trips, hauling and materials delivery truck trips, and operation of off-road
construction equipment. In addition, diesel -fueled portable generators may be necessary
to provide additional electricity demands for temporary on-site lighting, welding, and for
supplying energy to areas of the sites where energy supply cannot be met via a hookup
to the existing electricity grid.
Following implementation of the proposed project, Southern California Edison would
provide electricity and Southern California Gas Company would provide natural gas to
the project site. Energy use associated with operation of the proposed project would be
typical of residential uses, requiring electricity and natural gas for interior and exterior
building lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), electronic equipment,
appliances, security systems, and more. Maintenance activities during operations, such
as landscape maintenance, could involve the use of electric or gas -powered equipment.
In addition to on-site energy use, the proposed project would result in transportation
energy use associated with resident, guest, and employee vehicle trips generated by the
proposed project. ,
The Program EIS/EIR for MCAS -Tustin does not specifically provide an analysis of
energy usage, however, potential impacts are indirectly addressed, and the development
would not result in any impacts beyond those identified in the Program EIS/EIR for
MCAS -Tustin. Future development projects involving temporary increases in energy
consumption are likely to occur during construction which would be greater than those
typically experienced in the existing neighborhood. New construction will be required to
comply with the latest edition of applicable codes which include energy codes related to
efficiency. However, impacts associated with any future project would be identified
during the project review process and evaluated in conjunction with the applicable
discretionary or building permit process that may be subject to separate CEQA review.
The project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for
the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases and does not differ from the
existing standards within the City Code or General Plan.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No further mitigation measures would be required beyond
those identified in the Program EIS/EIR for MCAS -Tustin, which are hereby incorporated by
reference.

VII. GEOLOGY AND SOILS — Would the project:
a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial 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.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
iii. Seismic -related ground failure, including liquefaction?
iv. Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil or 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?
f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or
unique geologic feature?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. The FEIS/EIR indicates that impacts to soils and
geology resulting from implementation of the Reuse Plan and Tustin Legacy 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 also 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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to geology and soils. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the

substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR,
the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
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. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS — Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may
have a significant impact on the environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose
of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan, which also allows for commercial, retail and
institutional uses. These uses currently generate greenhouse gas emissions from
natural gas used for energy, heating and cooking, electricity usage, vehicle trips
associated with each land use areas sources such as landscaping equipment and
consumer cleaning products from water demand, wastewater generation and solid waste
generation. The FEIS/EIR did not evaluate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impacts
because, prior to SB 97, which went into effect January 1, 2010, it was not included in
the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist and the City of Tustin did not have adopted
thresholds at the time of preparation. The City has prepared the Final Supplemental EIR
(FSEIR), which was adopted in June 2017 in conjunction with the Tustin Legacy Specific
Plan Amendment (Modified Project). The FSEIR analyzed the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan (Adopted Specific Plan) would have generated GHG emissions at levels that would
exceed the thresholds established by Southern California Air Quality Management
District. The supplemental FSEIR concluded that the Modified Project would contribute
through direct emission of GHG from onsite area sources and vehicle trips and indirectly
through offsite energy production required for onsite activities, water use and waste
disposal. However, the Modified Project would -generate GHG emissions at a reduced
rate than the rate GHG emissions would have been produced under the Adopted
Specific Plan.
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.

IX. 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?
f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
g) 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 project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. 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. The Navy conveyed the property in 2002 as
unrestricted and suitable for residential reuse.
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 also not located in a
wildland fire danger area. Compliance with all federal, state and local regulations
concerning handling and use of household 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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to hazards and hazardous materials. Specifically, there have not been: (1)
changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DDA, GPC, DA 2019-00001, DR 2019-00009, and TTM 19103

involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
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.

X. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY — Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or
otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality?
b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge, such that the project may impede sustainable
groundwater management of the basin?
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 through the
alteration of the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site;
ii. Substantially in crease the rate or amount of surface runoff in flooding
on- or off-site;
iii. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of
existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff; or
iv. Impede or redirect flood flows?
e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or
sustainable groundwater management plan?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. The project design and construction of facilities to fully
contain drainage of the site, in addition to surrounding public streets, would be required
as conditions of approval of the project and submitted/approved Water Quality
Management Plan. No long-term impacts to hydrology and water quality are anticipated
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts

Page 15
for the proposed project. The proposed housing project will also 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.
A revised Tustin Legacy Specific Plan Sub Area Master Plan (TLSP SAMP) dated June 28,
2019 was submitted in conjunction with this project to serve as an addendum and provide a
hydraulic analysis relative to the proposed project's proposed changes to the potable water,
sewer and non -potable water systems. Materials have been reviewed for consistency with
the intent of the original SAMP and the project was determined to meet all Irvine Ranch
Water District (IRWD) operational criteria. Additionally, the off-site potable water, non -
potable water, and wastewater systems will not experience any adverse impacts due to the
project.
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 FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to hydrology and water quality. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to
the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.

rules and regulations would avoid the creation of potential impacts. No mitigation is
required.

XI. LAND USE AND PLANNING — Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use
plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan and the number of dwelling units proposed by the
Project is under the maximum development threshold for Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14,
which contemplates the development of 1,672 dwelling units in total. 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
July 18, 2017, the Tustin City Council approved the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan for
Tustin Legacy project area that established land use and development standards for
development of the site. The proposed project complies with Planning Areas 8, 13, and
14 development standards for residential units as noted in Section 3.11.2 of the Tustin
Legacy Specific Plan. 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 FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to land use and planning. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
Mitigation Monitoring Required: The proposed project is consistent with the development
standards of the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan as identified by the adopted FEIS/EIR. No
mitigation is required.

XII. 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?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific 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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to mineral resources. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project
that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR,
the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XIII. NOISE — Would the project:
a) Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise
levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other
agencies?
b) Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels?

Page 18
c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land
use plan or, where such a plan has not had not been adopted, within two miles
of a public airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. A Preliminary Noise Analysis Report dated May 15,
2019, and addendum dated July 8, 2019, were submitted in conjunction with this project.
Noise report analyzed project for compliance with Tustin's exterior and interior noise
standards for single-family and multi -family residential. Mitigation measures have been
included as conditions of approval for the project and an updated noise analysis shall be
provided to ensure compliance with the Tustin Noise standards at the time of plan
review.
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. For interior noise mitigation, N-3
identified in the FEIS/EIR requires plans demonstrating noise regulation conformity be
submitted for review and approval prior to building permits being issued. 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.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions, identified in 'CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to noise. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require
major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the
Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of
substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or
alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR,
the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
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.

XIV. POPULATION AND HOUSING — Would the project:
a) Induce substantial unplanned 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 people or housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan and the number of dwelling units proposed is under the
maximum development threshold for Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14, which contemplates
the development of 1,672 dwelling units in total. Additionally, the proposed project site is
vacant and will not displace people or necessitate construction of replacement housing
elsewhere. No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in
the FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin.
Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other
environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or mitigation measures exist with
regard to population and housing. Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the
Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplementals or Addendums were certified as completed.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XV. 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 proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. The site is currently vacant. Development of the site
would require public services such as fire 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 (OCFA) regulations regarding 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 existing and planned in the area
surrounding the site will meet the demands created by the proposed project.
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 increase was
analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and adequate police service will be provided. 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 the Tustin Unified School District
(TUSD) with one (1) unit proposed within the Santa Ana Unified School District
(SAUSD). Applicable fees will be paid to the SAUSD. 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 the TUSD. The 2001 FEIS/EIR
determined that the project would generate 1,473 students within the TUSD. The
amended FSEIR for Tustin Legacy Specific Plan Amendment (Modified Project)
determined that the construction of 6,813 total residential units in the Specific Plan area
would result in the potential addition of 1,250 students to the TUSD. Currently, there is
additional capacity to accommodate the proposed project. The TUSD and SAUSD will
receive its statutory school impact fees per Senate Bill 50 from the proposed residential
development of the site. 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.
Parks. The proposed project includes common areas such as pockets open space and
paseos, a recreation facility that includes a swimming pool and outdoor barbeque area,
as well as park areas which would be accessible to the residents of the project and the
public as a whole. Additionally, the Reuse Plan process included public conveyance of
city parks and an Urban Regional Park; as such individual developers were relieved of
the requirement to dedicate land for park purposes. The project is not anticipated to
increase the use of other existing neighborhood or regional parks such that substantial
physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or be accelerated.
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
Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
DDA, GPC, DA 2019-00001, DR 2019-00009, and TTM 19103
Page 21
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. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions
identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a
subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project
impacts or mitigation measures exist with regard to public services. Specifically, there
have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial importance
relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or alternatives that were not known
and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums
were certified as completed.
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.

XVI. RECREATION
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 project include recreational facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical
effect on the environment?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed project includes
common areas such as pockets open space and paseos, a recreation facility that
includes a swimming pool and outdoor barbeque area, as well as park areas which
would be accessible to the residents of the project and the public as a whole.
Additionally, the Reuse Plan process included public conveyance of city parks and an

Urban Regional Park; as such individual developers were relieved of the requirement to
dedicate land for park purposes. The project is not anticipated to increase the use of
other existing neighborhood or regional parks such that substantial physical deterioration
of the facilities would occur or be accelerated.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions
identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a
subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project
impacts or mitigation measures exist with regard to recreation. Specifically, there have
not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous
FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial importance
relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or alternatives that were not known
and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or. Addendums
were certified as completed.
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.

XVII. TRANSPORTATION — Would the project:
a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation
system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities?
b) . Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guideline section 15064.3, subdivision
(b)?
c) Substantially increase hazards. due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp
curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?
d) Result in inadequate emergency access?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan and the number of dwelling units proposed is under the
maximum development threshold for Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14, which contemplates
the development of 1,672 dwelling units in total. 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.

The FEIS/EIR and Supplements identified the trip generation resulting from
implementation of the original Specific Plan and Addendum to create an overall Average
Daily Trip (ADT) of 239,797 trips. The Specific Plan also established a trip budget
tracking system for each neighborhood to analyze and control the amount and intensity
of non-residential development by neighborhood. The tracking system ensures that
sufficient ADT capacity exists to serve the development and remainder of the
neighborhood. A focused traffic study, dated June 11, 2019, was provided for the Tustin
Legacy Neighborhood D South area, which includes the project area. This report was
reviewed by Tustin Public Works, Traffic Division for compliance with these requirements.
The proposed project would not exceed the trip budget analyzed in the FEIS/EIR and its
Supplemental and Addendums.
According to the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan, a maximum of 1,672 residential dwelling
units are permitted within Planning Areas 8, 13, and 14 (Neighborhood D) with an
established trip budget of 88,243 ADTs. The proposed project has a total of 400 units
with projected 2,996 ADTs. Given this comparison, the proposed project is well within the
trip budget established for the project site.
The analysis has shown that the proposed project has not resulted in new significant
impacts that would require mitigation. Moreover, the proposed on-site circulation system
is found to provide adequate capacity in accordance with the performance criteria
applied to the project. The City's Traffic Engineer has analyzed the proposed project
and the associated trip generation and determined that it is within the traffic budget for
the project site.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions
identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a
subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project
impacts or mitigation measures exist with regard to traffic. Specifically, there have not
been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR
due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase
in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the
previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability
of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or mitigation
measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the
FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums were certified as completed.
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.

XVIII. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES:
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as
either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in
terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with
cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:
i. Listed or is eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical
Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in
Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k), or
ii. A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and
supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria
set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code section 5024.1. In
applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources
Code section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of
the resource to a California Native American tribe.
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The project would not cause
substantial adverse change in a tribal cultural resource in that the project site does not
contain historical cultural resources and the proposed use and modifications would not
result impacts to historical or cultural resources.
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.

XIX. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS — Would the project:
a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water,
wastewater treatment or stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or
telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could
cause significant environmental effects?
b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project reasonably
foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years?
c) 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?

d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the
capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid
waste reduction goals?
e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and
regulations related to solid waste?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The proposed use is consistent
with the approved Specific Plan. The FEIR/EIR analyzed 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 payment of fair share contribution related to the Tustin
Legacy Backbone Infrastructure Program and construction of landscape and irrigation
on the public right-of-way Also, 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.
A revised Tustin Legacy Specific Plan Sub Area Master Plan (TLSP SAMP) dated June 28,
2019 was submitted in conjunction with this project to serve as an addendum and provide a
hydraulic analysis relative to the proposed project's proposed changes to the potable water,
sewer and non -potable water systems. Materials have been reviewed for consistency with
the intent of the original SAMP and the project was determined to meet all Irvine Ranch
Water District (IRWD) operational criteria. Additionally, the off-site potable water, non -
potable water, and wastewater systems will not experience any adverse impacts due to the
project.
No substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the
approved FEIS/EIR for MCAS Tustin. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions
identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a
subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project
impacts or mitigation measures exist with regard to utilities and service systems.
Specifically, there have not been: (1) changes to the Project that require major revisions
of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects
or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial
changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that
require major revisions of the previous FEIS/EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial importance
relating to significant effects or mitigation measures or alternatives that were not known
and could not have been known when the FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental or Addendums
were certified as completed.
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.

XX. WILDFIRE: If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very
high fire hazard severity zones, would the project:
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan?
b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks,
and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a
wildfire or uncontrolled spread of wildfire?
c) Require the installation of maintenance of associated infrastructure (such
as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, other
utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or
ongoing impacts to the environment?
d) Expose people or structure to significant risks, including downslope or
downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post -fire slope
instability, or drainage changes?
The proposed project is for a development of a total of 400 residential condominium
units comprising of 117 two- and three-story detached homes, 129 three-story attached
townhomes, and 154 three-story attached flats and townhomes and designated as
mixed-use urban by the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. According to the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Fire and Resource Assessment
Program, the project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. In
addition, the site is located on a relatively flat surface and in an urban area. The
surrounding area includes commercial and residential land uses. Thus, the proposed
project would not cause change in substantial risk or hazards related to wildfires.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

XXI. 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?

Page 27
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 former MCAS Tustin. The FEIS/EIR, the Supplemental and
Addendums previously considered all environmental impacts associated with the
implementation of the Reuse Plan and Tustin Legacy Specific Plan. The project
proposes no substantial changes to environmental issues previously considered with
adoption of the FEIS/EIR. Mitigation measures were identified in the FEIS/EIR to reduce
impact but not to a level of insignificance. A Statement of Overriding Consideration for
the FEIS/EIR was adopted by the Tustin City Council on January 16, 2001.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: The FEIS/EIR previously considered all environmental
impacts associated with the implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan. Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City Council in the
FEIS/EIR and would be included in the project as applicable.

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 July 5, 2017 and shall apply to the
proposed project, as applicable.
