Introduction and Background
Section 1: Introduction and Background
1.1 Project-Location and Setting
The proposed project will implement improvements on the north side of Mitchell Avenue
between Newport Avenue and approximately .170 feet west of C Street within the City of
Tustin. Surrounding land uses include commercial and residential uses. The project
vicinity is shown. on Exhibit 1.
1.2 Project Description
The. proposed project includes acquisition of right-of-way and construction of asphalt
pavement for additional lane width, curb, gutter, sidewalk ddveway approaches, curb
ramps, and catchbasin(s) along the north side of Mitchell Avenue between Newport
Avenue and approximately 170 feet west of C Street. Relocation of utility poles will be
required to accommodate the project.
Right-of-way acquisition and construction will affect three properties, including a
commercial property located at 14111 Newport and two residential properties located at
14111 and 14112 C Street. A strip of approximately 120-lineal feet by 7 feet along the
south side of the commercial property and two triangular areas at the southerly comer of
the two residential properties will be acquired to accommodate the proposed street
improvements. No buildings will be affected, however, two sections of existing wood
fencing will require i-econstruction. Depth of pavement construction will be no more than
one foot.
The project limits are shown in Exhibit 2.
1.3 Project Construction Schedule/Phasing
Project construction is anticipated to occur in a single phase lasting approximately three
months. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin in August 1997 and be completed
in October 1997. '
1.4 Project Proponent ' '
The City of Tustin Public Works Department will acquire property and construct the
proposed improvements. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds were
allocated for property acquisition dudrig the 1995-1996 Fiscal Year. Construction
funding was allocated dudng the 1996-97 Fiscal Year.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Section 2: Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
As provided for in Section 15063 of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, the initial
study/environmental assessment format and checklist prepared pursuant to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development's procedures regarding implementation of the National
Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) is being used to evaluate potential impacts. The initial
study/environmental assessment checklist is included in Section 3.
2.1 Land Development
a. Conformance with Comprehensive Plans and Zoning
The proposed project will implement minor street improvements consistent with the
City's Standard Plans for local streets. The proposed improvements conform with
the existing General Plan and Zoning Code. No changes in zoning are proposed
or will be required to allow the roadway improvements.
The parcel at the comer of Newport Avenue and Mitchell Avenue is zoned Planned
Community-Commercial (PCC) district. No minimum lot area is prescribed by the
Planned Community District document which regulates development of the site.
A reduction in the lot size will not affect future entitlements at the site. The
remaining two parcels impacted by the improvements are zoned Multi-Family
Residential (R-3) District, but are developed with single-family residences. The
minimum lot area for such uses is 7,000-square feet; however, neither parcel
conforms with that standard. The portions of the parcels being purchased by the
City to facilitate the street improvements will slightly decrease the land area of the
parcels. However, the reductions will not alter the non-conforming status of the
properties and will not create a nuisance or threaten the health, welfare, or we!l-
being of City residents.
Impact Category: No Impact Anticipated

Tustin General Plan and Zoning Code.
b. Compatibility_ and Urban Impact
The proposed improvements are similar to other street improvements that.have
been made to the surrounding area. Installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk
facilities will create congruity between the unimproved areas on the project site and
other improved areas along Mitchell Avenue and Newport Avenue. The project will
improve the urban environment in the vicinity.

The site is relatively fiat and will be reconstructed with a minimal slope for improved
drainage. The slope will eliminate the ponding of water in the unimproved areas.

Gestine, February 1997. '
d. .Erosion
The area of construction is currently unimproved. The installation of curb, gutter,
and sidewalk facilities will minimize the existing Potential for erosion of soil.
Minor excavation will be necessary to install subsurface paving materials and two
catchbasins. The Plans, Specifications, and Estimates document requires the
contractor to clean adjacent streets of any dirt, settled dust, and excavated or
removed materials. With-implementation of this requirement, no impacts are
anticipated.

f- Hazards and Nuisances !'ncluding Site Safety
Construction activities may create temporary haZards or nuisances for rnotorists
and pedestrians. The Plans, Specifications, and Estimates document requires the
contractor. to provide safe and continuous passage for pedestrian and vehicular
traffic at all times. Specific measures include use of barricades, signage, flagmen
and lane closures in accordance with an approved traffic control plan. With
implementation of this requirement, no impacts are anticipated.

2.2 Noise
a. Effects of Ambient Noise on Project and Contribution to Community'Noise Levels
The property acquisition will not create any noise impacts; however, daytime
· construction activities may generate temporary, intermittent noise. All con struction
activities am subject to the Tustin Noise Ordinance. In addition, the Plans,
Specifications, and Estimates document requires the contractor to comply with City
noise standards. Compliance with those regulations will be dosely monitored by the
Public Works and Community Development Departments to ensure that no negative
noise impacts occur.
Increased fight-of-way will allow vehicular traffic to pass approximately five (5) feet
closer to the existing commercial building than the current roadway configuration.
A difference of 5 feet in lane width is not expected to measureably increase long-
term noise levels at the affected properties; however, an existing block wall will
remain on the site to minimize potential noise impacts.
Impact Category: No Impact Anticipated

staff; City of Tustin Noise OrdinanceL
2.3 Air Quality
a. Effects of Ambient Air Quality on Project and Contribution to Community Pollution
Levels
Ambient air qualib/is generally good in the City of Tustin; air quality will not
adversely impact the project. Conversely, the proposal will not adversely impact air
quality. Installation of additional !~ne width will improve the street to a modified local
street standard. Since the street is currently a local street, the' project will not
increase traffic capacity and will not result in air quality impacts typically associated
with street widening projects. !n addition, the project will replace unimproved land
with paved surfaces which will minimize the creation of dust and other airborne
particles in the long-term.
Clearing, grubbing, 'and excavating activities will result in disruptions to paved
surfaces and soil thereby creating dust and debris. The Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates document reqt~ires.the contractor to control air pollution by cleaning the

2.4 Environmental Design and Historic Values
a. Visual uali - Coherence Diversi Corn atible Use and Scale
Construction of additional land width, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on unimproved
!and will improve visual coherenEe of the area and increase compatibility with
existing land uses.
Impact Category: Potentially Beneficial
Source/Documentation: Visual site inspection, City of Tustin Community
Development Department staff.
b. Historic, Cultural and Archaeoloqical Resource:;
No above-ground histodc or cultural resources are present in the project area.
Excavating activities will be limited to no more than one foot in depth in previously
disturbed soil. !t is unlikely that underground resources will be encountered. A
""Quick Check" prepared by the Regional Information Center of the Califomia
Archaeological Inventory, University of Califomia'at los Angeles. indicates that
while there are four recorded archaeological sites within a one mile radius of the
project area, no archaeological work is needed prior to approval of the project. ,The
Center recommends that the City halt work in the event that cultural resources are
discovered during construction. in addition a Programmatic Agreement with the
State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO)'authorizes the City of Tustin to exempt
from SHPO review activities for which the City can make specific findings that there
will be no adverse impact to historic properties or sites. The City has found that the
proposed project is exempt from further review by SHPO and that the ability to issue
a halt-work order mitigates any potential adverse impacts to a level of insignificance.
