C. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
o I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a siillificant effect on the environment, and a
NEOA TIVE DECLARA nON will be prepared.
o I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project A NEOA TIVE DECLARA nON will be prepared.
o I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
o I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but atlwt one
effect I) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and
2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the ewer analysis as described on attached
sheets, if the effect is a "potential1y Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated."
An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
[8J I find that although the proposed project could have a siillificant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a signifIcant effect in this case because all potentially siillificant effects I) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR p\ll'suant to applicable standards, and 2) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR. including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project.
o I flOd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL
NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potelltially significant effects I) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and 2) have

TENTATIVE TRACT MAPS 17026
PLANNING AREAS 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14, AND 15 - MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC
PLAN
BACKGROUND
The project site is comprised of 805.5 acres (gross) within Planning Areas 7,8,9,10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
and 15 of the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and generally bounded by Edinger A venue to the north,
Jamboree Road to the east, Barranca Parkway to the south, and Red Hill Avenue to the west.
On January 16, 2001 and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report and Addendum, respectively, for
the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEIS/EIR). An environmental check list was prepared
for the development of the site that concluded no additional environmental impacts for the
project than the impacts considered and addressed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum.
The proposed project includes subdivision of the 805.5 gross acre area into thirty-six (36) parcels
for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development is proposed with the project and
therefore no environmental impacts are anticipated.
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) SubstantiaUy damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and bistoric buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) SubstantiaUy degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect
day or nighttime views in the area?
The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development
plan is proposed with the subdivision and therefore the project will have no substantial
adverse effects on a scenic vista. The proposed project has no potential for substantially
damaging scenic resources, degrade the existing visual character, or create a new source of
substantial light or glare. Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis
previously completed in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: None

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in
assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use?
The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development
is associated with the project. The project would not convert prime farmland, unique
farmland or farmland of statewide importance as shown on maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Managing and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultura1 use. Also, the property is not zoned for agricultural use or a Williamson Act
Contract, nor does the proposed subdivision involve other changes in the existing
environment that could result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultura1 use. The
project site is not zoned or used as agricultural land; consequently, no substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISIEIR and Addendum for
MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

III. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the signifieance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or
projected air quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for
which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions that exceed
quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?

Tentative Tract Map 17026
Page 3
e) Creat e objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for ftnancing and conveyance
purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The conveyance
tentative tract map has no potential to violate air quality standards, or contribute to a
cumulatively considerable increase of any criteria pollutant for the project region. The
project will not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentration or create
objectionable odor. On January 16, 2001 and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certifted the
Program Final Environmental Impact StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report and
Addendum, respectively, for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEISIEIR).
Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in
the FEISIEIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEISIEIR and Addendum; these measures were included as conditions of
approval for development of the site. No mitigation measures are required for subdivision of
the site for conveyance purposes.

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 dermed by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal
pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, fdling, 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?
Resolution No. 06-76

e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources,
such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
t) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state
habitat conservation plan?
The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance
purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The project has
no effect on riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities identified in local or
regional plans, or a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined
by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The conveyance map will not interfere with
movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or conflict with any
local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. The FEISIEIR and Addendum
found that implementation of the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan would not
result in impacts to federally listed threatened or endangered plant or animal species.
Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in
the FEISIEIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: No mitigation is required.

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?
e) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal cemeteries?
The proposed proj ect is a request for subdivisilln of the site for financing and conveyance
purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The project has
no potential to change the significance of a historical resource, or destroy a unique
paleontological resource. On January 16, 200 I and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin
certified the Program Final Environmental Impact StatementlEnvironmental Impact
Report and Addendum, respectively for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin
(FEISIEIR). Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously
completed in the FEISlEIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
CoWlcil in the FEISIEIR and Addendum; these measures were included as conditions of
Resolution No. 06-76

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: - Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including tbe
risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the State Geologist
for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer
to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
. Strong seismic ground shaking?
. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
. Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss oftopsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become
unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building
Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance
purposes only. No development is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The FEISIEIR
and Addendum indicates that impacts to soils and geology resulting from implementation of
the Reuse Plan and MCAS Tustin Specific Plan would "include non-seismic hazards (such
as local settlement. regional subsidence, expansive soils, slope instability, erosion, and
mudflows) and seismic hazards (such as surface fault displacement, high-intensity ground
shaking, ground failure and lurching, seismically induced settlement, and flooding
associated with dam failure." In addition, since no development is proposed, the project has
no potential to result in soil erosion, development on expansive soil, or expose people to risk
of loss or injury involving rupture of an earthquake fault or liquefaction. On January 16,
200 I and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental
Impact StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report and Addendum, respectively, for the
Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEISIEIR). Consequently, no substantial change is
expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISIEIR and Addendum for
MCAS Tustin.

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 heen 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) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in
a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or
where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development
is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. On January 16, 2001 and April 3, 2006, the
City of Tustin certified the Program Final Environmental Impact
StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report and Addendum, respectively, for the Reuse and

The proj ect will not create a significant hazard to the public through the transport, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials, nor are there reasonably foreseeable upset and accident
conditions at the property. In addition, the project site is located within the boundaries of the
Airport Environs Land Use Plan; however, it is at least four (4) miles from John Wayne
Airport, and does not lie within a flight approach or departure corridor and thus does not
pose an aircraft-related safety hazard for future residents or workers. Consequently. no
substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in the FEISlEIR and
Addendum for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEISIEIR; these measures were included as conditions of approval for

parking capacity. On January 16, 200 I and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certified the
Program Final Environmental Impact StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report and
Addendwn, respectively, for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEISIEIR).
Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in
the FEISlEIR and Addendwn for MCAS Tustin.
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEISIEIR and Addendwn; these measures were included as conditions of
approval for development of the project. No mitigation measures are required for
subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water
Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects?
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could caulIe significant
environmental effects?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing
entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serve. or
may .erve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project'.
projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the
project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulation. related to solid
waste?
The proposed subdivision is for financing and conveyance purposes only. No development
is proposed and no impacts are anticipated. The proj ect has no impacts on waste water
treatment facilities, nor does the project require construction of new water, waste water and
storm drain facilities. On January 16,2001 and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certified
the Program Final Environmental Impact StatementlEnvironmental Impact Report and
Addendwn, respectively, for the Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEISIEIR).
Consequently, no substantial change is expected from the analysis previously completed in
the FEIS/EIR and Addendwn for MCAS Tustin.

XVII. MANDA TORY 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?
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?
The proposed project is a request for subdivision of the site for financing and conveyance
purposes only. No impacts are anticipated and no impacts are anticipated. On January 16,
2001 and April 3, 2006, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final Envirorunentai
Impact StatementlEnvirorunental Impact Report and Addendum, respectively, for the
Reuse and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEIS/EIR).
Mitigation/Monitoring Required: Mitigation measures have been adopted by the Tustin City
Council in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum; these measures were included as conditions of
approval for development of the project. No mitigation measures are required for
subdivision of the site for conveyance purposes.

CONCLUSION
The swmnary concludes that the proposed financing and conveyance map will have no
environmental impacts and all environmental effects of the development project were previously
examined in the FEIS/EIR and Addendum for MCAS Tustin, and that no new effects would occur,
that no substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects would occur,
that no new mitigation measures would be required, that no applicable mitigation measures
previously not found to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and that there are no new mitigation
measures or alternatives applicable to the project that would substantially reduce effects of the
project that have not been considered and adopted.
