A RESOLUTION OF THE TUSTIN PLANNING
COMMISSION, ACTING AS THE HISTORIC AND
CULTURAL RESOURCES ADVISOR, ADOPTING THE 2021
CITYWIDE HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY UPDATE
REPORT.
I. That on November 6, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 18-78 affirming
the Planning Commission as the HCRA to the City Council pursuant to Tustin City
Code 9252c and establishing a program defining the Commission's roles,

include a reconnaissance level survey of properties constructed through
1976 and an intensive level survey of previously identified structures listed
in the 2003 Historic Resources Survey.
B. That the ARG, whose principal personnel meet the professional
qualifications of the Secretary of Interior Standards, has worked for two (2)
years on the preparation of a draft Historic Resources Survey Report in
accordance with the Secretary of Interiors Standards for Preservation
Planning, Identification, Evaluation and Registration; National Register
Bulletins No. 24 (Guidelines for Local Surveys); No. (A Basis for
Preservation Planning), No. 15 (How to Apply the National Register Criteria

contexts and themes identified in the 2021 Tustin Historic Context
Statement.

community members with specialized knowledge of historic resources and
provided guidance on conducting local and regional archival research.
E. That the Community Development Department had also scheduled a
public workshop for March 12, 2020, to kick off the survey update efforts,
provide information on the survey process and to gather input from the
community. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of
City Hall and other meeting places, the public workshop was cancelled.
However, ARG was able to commence the field survey work and
background research. During June 2020 through June 2021, ARG
conducted direct outreach via email and phone to the targeted community
members, and focused on specific properties of which these individuals
had specific knowledge and the discourse between ARG and individuals
in the community continued throughout the survey project.
F. That on October 13, 2020, the HCRA conducted a public workshop and
made a presentation with an update as to the status of the survey project
including the consultant's progress in conducting background research,
conducting the reconnaissance survey and drafting the Historic Context
Statement.
G. That the public workshops in March and October 2020, were noticed and
publicized by the Community Development Department, and the City also
hosted a dedicated webpage and invited individuals with historic
knowledge to provide information to City.
III. The HRCA finds that:
a. The Historic Resources Survey Update furthers the objectives of the Tustin
General Plan.
b. The Historic Resources Survey Update assists the City in compliance with
CEQA and the review of improvements, alterations, and/or addition that
may affect cultural resources.
c. The inventory provides a complete and accurate listing of the City's cultural
resources including properties constructed through 1976.
d. That the Planning Commission acting as the HRCA hereby adopts the
Citywide Historic Resources Survey Update Report and authorize the
Community Director to make minor clean-up to the Final Report.
IV. That Citywide Historic Resources Survey Update is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 6 — Information Collection in that it
consists of basic data collection, research and resource evaluation activities which
do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.
