HOESTEREY Mayor MARY E~WYNN 5 City C~el.k ~ EXHIBIT A ADDENDUM TO EIR 85-2 FOR EAST TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN (STATE CLEARINGHOUSE #B5052217) RESOLUTION NO. 88-8 February 1, 1988 INTRODUCTION On March 17, 1986, the Tustin City Council certified as complete the East Tustin Specific..Pl. an Final Environmental Imp.a. ct ~Report 85-2 (EIR 85-2). EIR 85-2 addressed t~j potential env~'ro~me~tai' ~mpacts associated with the" development of a +1,740-acre master planned community proposed in the City of Tustin. EIR 85-2 was prepared as a program EIR in accordance with Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to Sectlion 15188{c) of the CEQA Guidelines, all "subsequent activities in the program must be examined in light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared." In conformance with the provisions of CEQA, an addendum to EIR 85-2 covering Assessment District 85-1 was certified by the Tustin City Council on July 21, 1986. Subsequently, a Supplemental EIR to EIR 85-2, covering the East Tustin Specific Plan Development Agreement was certified by the Tustin City Council on October 22, 1986. In conformance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, this document is an addendum to EIR 85-2. An addendum can be prepared when changes are made to a proposed project and such changes do not create any new significant impacts, substantially worsen any significant impacts, or substantially lessen any significant impacts already addressed in the EIR prepared for the project. This is the case with the increase in light fixture height for the proposed project. Per Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, this addendum will be attached to the certified final EIR 85-2 for consideration by the decision-making body in its review of proposed development on the Mixed Use site in the East Tustin Specific Plan (the "Tustin Market Place"). PROJECT DESCR I PTION ~ .... , , The applicant for the "Tustin Market Place" has requested a variance to utilize high-mast lighting fixtures to illuminate 60+ acres of parking lot {pursuant to the East Tustin Specific Plan, light fixtures in th6-Mixed Use District {Sector 12} have a 35 foot height limit). Said light fixtures are proposed to be placed on a total of eight (8) 90 foot high towers with a maximum of four (4) fixtures per side of each tower (10' X 10' square). The justifications for this proposal are summarized as follows' · The ability to provide the high levels of illumination required of a major shopping mall while keeping the source brightness to acceptable level.s is not practical at low mounting heights. (The high lighting level would require a bright-source, directly visible at the low mounting heights, even with sharp cut-off fixtures,m) ® The desired method of providing high overhead, thus placing the source out of levels of illumination is directly from the area of visual use. Sharp cut-off lighting fixtures mounted at low levels even when closely spaced, leave considerable dark areas between cars and behind landscaping° The prevention of vandalism, theft, etc. is a major component in the elimination of dark areas to a minimum by providing vertical illumination of the area between cars, etc. Exhibit A Resolution No. 88-8 Page two ® The reduction in source glare, high uniform lighting levels (in I.E.S. standards) and the vertical illumination between objects visible parking and walking area that substantially improves the in relation to traffic concerns. accordance wi th leads to a more safety of people IMPACTS The environmental impacts from incident light trespass from shielded lighting fixtures mounted above the thirty-five foot level is less than or equal to the thirty-five foot poletop lighting method. The use of sharp cut-off lighting fixtures with visors aimed to limit the incident light to the property line will not have a significant impact when compared to the approved lighting criteria. Calculations have demonstrated that the ability to reduce spillover is greater with high-mast lighting than low-mast due to the greater ability to focus the bulbs. This will result in a reduced impact on future residents in thelmultiple family residence to the north of Bryan Avenue. Viewed from hillside residences, the two forms of lighting would have a similar impact; that of a large, illuminated site. Lastly, the reflective quality of both systems off surfaces such as asphalt, c.ars, glass, leaves, etc. is the same. ALTERNATIVES _ _ No_Project- Under this alternative, the project would be illuminated with light ¢ixt~res at a maximum height of 35 feet. Spillover from this type of fixture would be greater than the .high-mast fixtures due to the inability to move and "focus" the fixture head. Shadow areas would also result, creating more opportunities for vandalism, theft, etc. R~d,u,.ced~Hl~ei g~ht - Under this al ternati ye, the 1 i ght fi xtures could be mounted above 35 feet, but less than 90 feet. The benefits of high-mast lighting would diminish as the fixtures were lowered below 90 feet, thereby necessitating more towers on which to mount lights. MITIGATION MEASURES The high-mast light fixtures shall be turned off no later closing of the last tenant in either the hard or soft goods than one (1) hour after section of the project. 2. Spill lighting shall be controlled by optical, cut-off shielding, directional and vertical aiming methods. STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF ORANGE ) § CITY OF TUSTIN ) MARY E.
