MONITORING STATUS REPORT FOR FEIS/EIR FOR MCAS TUSTIN SPECIFIC
PLAN
The California Government Code requires that the Planning Commission provide an
annual progress report to the City Council on the status of the City's General Plan
and the progress in its implementation, including the progress in meeting our share
of regional housing needs and efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing
development, maintenance, and improvement.
In addition, the City Council certified the Program Final Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the Disposal and Reuse of
MCAS Tustin along with its Supplemental and Addendums. The FEIS/EIR evaluated
the environmental impacts of the reuse and disposal of MCAS -Tustin, which included
the adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15097. The MMRP requires annual review to ensure
compliance with required mitigations.
On March 8, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed the General Plan Annual
Report and the Tustin Legacy Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status Report and
authorized staff to forward the reports to the City Council. With Council authorization,
staff will forward the General Plan Annual Report to the California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Office of Planning and Research
(OPR) in fulfillment of the State's requirement, and receive and file the Tustin Legacy
Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status Report.
Motion: The City Council:
1. Authorized staff to forward the General Plan Annual Report to the State OPR
and HCD; and
2. Received and filed the Tustin Legacy Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status
Report and authorize staff to submit a subsequent report when considerable
and significant activities occur.
6. POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLE PURCHASE - AMENDED
An agenda report was completed, submitted, and approved in January 2022. Due to
manufacturing issues and delays, the vehicles in the original report are no longer
available, and the associated quotes are no longer valid. Dodge Charger pursuit -
rated vehicles are not available for the 2022 model year; therefore, Staff is
recommending the purchase of four (4) 2022 Dodge Durango pursuit -rated vehicles
instead of the (3) Dodge Chargers and (1) Dodge Durango. Staff has already
confirmed that the 2022 Dodge Durangos are available at this time. Due to inflation,
there is also a related price increase on Dodge Durango pursuit -related vehicles. The
original agenda report has been attached to this document for reference.
