ORANGEWOOD, #209 ORANGE, CA 92868 APPLICANT: ANDRADE ARCHITECTS ATTN: STAN ANDRADE 2880 SOUTH COAST HIGHWAY LAGUNA BEACH, CA 92651 LOCATION: 14092 BROWNING AVENUE ZONING: CURRENT: UNCLASSIFIED PROPOSED: MOBILE HOME PARK ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN PREPARED IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF CALIFORNIA PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE ARTICLE 6. REQUEST: AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND THE TUSTIN GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CODE TO CLASSIFY THE PROPOSED SITE AS MOBILE HOME PARK AND DEVELOP THE SITE WITH TEN (10) MOBILE HOME PADS AS AN EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING MOBILE HOME PARK (VILLA VALENCIA MOBILE HOME ESTATES) That the Planning Commission: Adopt Resolution No. 4039 recommending that the City Council adopt Final Negative Declaration for General Plan Amendment 06-002 and Zone Change 06- 001; and approve General Plan Amendment 06-002 and Zone Change 06-001; Adopt Resolution No. 4040 adopting the Final Negative Declaration for Conditional Use Permit 05-028; and, GPA 06-002, ZC 06-001, CUP 05-28 14092 Browning Avenue Page 2 of 6 • Adopt Resolution No. 4041 approving Conditional Use Permit 05-028 to develop the site with ten additional mobile home pads. BACKGROUND The project site is a 1.12 -acre site, which is a portion of the abandoned railroad easement south of the Interstate 5 freeway. This railway was owned and operated by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF) Railway Company until 1984, and the property owner purchased the land from the Irvine Company in June 1998 after the railroad use was abandoned. The site is bounded by Villa Valencia Mobile Home Estates to the north and east and Laurelwood Planned Community neighborhood to the south and west. The property north of the project site adjacent to the 1-5 freeway is currently owned by the Laurelwood Homeowners and is utilized as a Recreational Vehicle (RV) parking area (Attachment A — Location Map). Prior to transfer of ownership, in 1993, the Irvine Company submitted a lot line adjustment to merge this site with the adjacent mobile home park, which was approved on March 15, 1993. However, no official zoning or general plan designation was assigned to the site (Attachment B — Resolution No. 93-24). To assign the site a zoning and land use designation, a general plan and zone change need to be considered by the Planning Commission. The City Council is the final decision making authority for this portion of the request. In addition, mobile home park development is subject to approval of a conditional use permit in the Mobile Home Park (MHP) zoning district. The Planning Commission can take action on the conditional use permit pending approval of the general plan and zone change requests by the City Council. DISCUSSION General Plan Amendment and Zone Change Since the site is an abandoned railroad right-of-way, no general plan orzoning designation has been assigned to the site; therefore, a general plan and a zoning code amendment would provide the site with the required Mobile Home Park land use and zoning designation. Assuming that the project components are approved, the proposed use would be consistent with the adjacent land use and zoning regulations, which are residential uses (Attachment C — Partial Zoning Map). In addition, the proposed project would provide additional housing opportunities consistent with Goal 1 and Policy 1.3 and of the Housing Element, which encourage providing an adequate supply of housing to meet the needs of a variety of housing types. The proposed general plan amendment is not considered substantial in nature. The application was processed in accordance with Government Code Section 65352.3. An invitation for consultation for a period of ninety days was mailed to a list of seven Native GPA.06-002, ZC 06-001, CUP 05-28 14092 Browning Avenue Page 3 of 6 American tribes provided by the Native American Heritage Commission. No written request for consultation was received. There are no known archeological and paleontological resources within the proposed area; however, to ensure protection of any possible discoveries, Conditions 3.3 and 3.4 (Resolution No. 4040) are included requiring the applicant to hire an archeologist and to prepare a Paleontological Resources Management Plan (PRMP) prior to any grading on the site. Site /Development Plan The site is situated along the easterly property line of the existing Villa Valencia Mobile Home Estates. The existing park is developed with 148 mobile homes, a 0.22 -acre park, and a community center where the office for the property manager is located. The applicant is proposing to develop the vacant parcel with ten new mobile home pads that are typically 4,170 square feet in area (Attachment D - Submitted Plans). The pads will be located along a private street called Seville Street and would be owned and operated by New Villa Valencia Mobile Homes. There is no direct vehicular or pedestrian access to a public street; however, since the site will be developed as an extension of the mobile home park, the existing access from Browning Avenue is adequate to accommodate the additional ten homes. The proposed development would meet the development standards of the City's Mobile Home Park (MHP) zoning district as follows: Minimum Standard Proaosed Building Site = 5 acres 1.12 new and 16.84 existing = total 17.96 acres Individual Lot size = 2,800 sq. ft. 4,170 sq.ft. (average) Density = 10 du /acre 9 du/acre Site Coverage = 75 percent 58 percent Parking = 2 per unit double car garage Guest Parking= 1 per 10 units 3 spaces Front Setback = 5 feet 5 feet Individual Lot = 3 feet 4'-9" A six (6) foot tall. block wall separates the site from the Laurelwood neighborhood and the RV storage. Most of the wall area is currently covered by vegetation, and it is difficult to determine the structural integrity and aesthetic of the wall. Condition 1.9 is included to require that the existing wall be repaired and repainted or replaced with development of the site as may be necessary after site grading and removal of the existing weeds and vegetation. GPA 06-002, ZC 06-001, CUP 05-28 14092 Browning Avenue Page 4 of 6 Park Site The proposal to add ten mobile home pads will be part of an existing mobile home park which includes a 9,795 square foot park with a community pool, barbeque, and clubhouse. Tustin City Code Section 9227 requires that a minimum of 100 square feet of additional recreation open space be provided for each of the ten mobile home sites if more than 25 percent of the units are occupied with families with children under the age of fifteen, With the proposed development a new 6,379 square foot park site is also proposed, which exceeds the City requirements and provides for adequate on-site recreational opportunities. No detailed landscape plans were submitted for the new park. Condition 3.6 (Resolution No. 4040) requires that the applicant submit landscape and irrigation plans for the proposed park for review and approval of the Community Development Department. Conditional Use Permit The Office of State Architect is the authorized State agency to approve installation of additional mobile homes; however, the City of Tustin will be reviewing and approving utility connections, street improvements, and grading of the site. Conditions 3.11 and 3.12 are included to ensure that a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is submitted and approved prior to issuance of any site grading. The site is currently developed with 148 mobile home units with one access from Browning Avenue. With the additional units the total number of mobile home units would technically exceed the Orange County Fire Authority's threshold of 150 units that requires a secondary access. To mitigate any increased response time that may be experienced in an emergency response situation, the Orange County Fire Authority has requested the eight excess units to be equipped with a fire sprinkler system. However, since building permits for the additional mobile homes will be issued by the State, the City of Tustin is not the authorized agency to ensure implementation of any building related requirement. Mitigation Measure 6.1 (Resolution No. 4040) is included recommending that the applicant install sprinkler systems for the additional eight (8) units. Development of the site would also require installation of street lights and landscaping that would need to be submitted upon approval of the project. Condition 3.5 (Resolution No. 4040) is included to ensure that adequate landscaping is provided along the perimeter of the site adjacent to existing residences and that proposed lighting is designed to eliminate any glare or spillage to the adjacent properties. Noise The project site is located more than 300 feet from the freeway wall along the Interstate 5 freeway within an area with exterior Community Noise Equivalent (CNEL) contours within the 65 dB range (Figure N-1 of Tustin Noise Element). The provisions of the State of California Noise Insulation Standards and the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance require that the maximum level of indoor noise levels for residential living not to exceed GPA 06-002, ZC 06-001, CUP 05-28 14092 Browning Avenue Page 5 of 6 45 dB and exterior noise level not to exceed 55 dB. Table N-2 of the Tustin Noise Element identifies potential conflicts between the land uses and the noise environment. Per Table N-2, the proposed project falls within Zone B. Zone B implies minor soundproofing may be needed in the form of conventional construction, closed windows, and providing fresh air supply systems or air conditioning. There is an existing sound wall along the freeway; therefore, no additional barrier would be required along the northwesterly portion of the site. Building permits for installation of the mobile home units will be issued by the State, and the City of Tustin would not be reviewing and issuing building permits for the units. However, to maintain the required interior noise standard, staff is recommending upgrades for exterior walls, roof insulation, window glazing, and restrictive use of window and door openings along the northwesterly portion of the site to reduce interior noise levels. Mitigation Measures 6.2 and 6.3 (Resolution No. 4041) are recommendations included in the resolution of approval with the caveat that the building permits will be issued by the State; the City of Tustin is not the authorized agency to ensure implementation of these recommendations. ENVIRONMENTAL A draft Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed building and site improvements and were available for public review from September 1, 2006, to September 20, 2006 (Exhibit A of Resolution No. 4039). All potential impacts can be reduced to a level of insignificance through mitigation measures, which are included as conditions of approval for the project. Staff has received no written public comments. ANALYSIS A decision to recommend approval of the proposed general plan and zone change application to the City Council can be supported by the following findings: • The proposed project would provide additional housing opportunities consistent with Goal 1 and Policy 1.3 and of the Housing Element, which encourage providing an adequate supply of housing to meet the need of a variety of housing types. • The property is surrounded by residential uses and is appropriate for the proposed mobile home park use. • The proposed density of 8.9 units per acre meets the maximum density requirements of ten (10) units per acre of the Mobile Home Park General Plan Designation and zoning code requirements. • The proposed zone change would extend the existing mobile home park zoning onto the adjacent vacant site which can be accessed from the main entrance to the mobile home park and utilize the existing street system and utilities. GPA 06-002, ZC 06-001, CUP 05-28 14092 Browning Avenue Page 6 of 6 A decision to approve the proposed mobile home park development can be supported by the following findings: • If General Plan Amendment 06-002 and Zone Change 06-001 are approved, the proposed mobile home park expansion would be consistent with the required development standards for the Mobile Home Park zoning district. That the General Plan land use designation and zoning designation of Mobile Home Park (MHP) allow development of mobile home parks and trailer home parks with approval of a conditional use permit. In addition, the project has been reviewed and determined to be consistent with the Air Quality Sub -element of the City of Tustin General Plan. • The proposed mobile home park expansion will be accessed through existing public streets and existing utilities are available to serve the site. • The proposed development meets the density requirements and development standards for Mobile Home Parks as noted in Tustin City Code Section 9227. • The proposed ten (10) mobile home pads will be operated in conjunction with the Villa Valencia Mobile Home Estates and adequate parkland and guest parking will be provided in accordance with Tustin City code Section 9227. • As conditioned, an adequate landscape buffer will be provided along the Laurelwood neighborhood. • The proposed use will not be detrimental to the surrounding properties in that the proposed site is surrounded by other residential uses. • As conditioned, adequate fire protection will be provided as required by the Orange County Fire Authority. • An adequate park site will be provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 9227bh of Tustin City Code.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist in Section D below. ❑ Aesthetics ❑ Air Quality ❑ Cultural Resources ❑ Hazards & Hazardous Materials ❑ Land Use/Planning ❑ Noise ❑ Public Services ❑ Transportation/Traffic ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance C. DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Geology/Soils ❑ Hydrology/Water Quality ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Population/Housing ❑ Recreation ❑ Utilities/Service Systems ❑ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ® 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 revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑ I find that although the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described in the attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR OR NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR OR NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and no further documentation is required. Preparer: Minoo Ashabi Title Associate Planner �/ i ✓ — / Date J7',2 r a6� A. Binsack, Community Development Director D. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Directions 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors and general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to,pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take into account the whole action involved, including off-site, on-site, cumulative project level, indirect, direct, construction, and operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, and EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross- referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and, b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

Since the site was developed and used as a railroad easement, there is no zoning or general plan designation. Therefore, the proposed project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change request to change the land use and zoning classification from "Unclassified" to "Mobile Home Park." The existing mobile home park site is 16.84 acres in area and includes 148 home pads. With development of the proposed site, the park would include 158 home pads. Access to the site is provided from Browning Avenue, and the proposed expansion site is currently separated from the residential uses on the east by an approximately six (6) foot tall block wall. 1. AESTHETICS Items a & b — No Imnact The property is a 1.12 -acre undeveloped parcel which is an abandoned railroad right-of-way adjacent to an existing mobile home park. The property is not located on a scenic vista or within a State scenic highway, thus would not damage scenic resources such as trees, rock outcroppings, or historical buildings within a State scenic highway. Sources: Tustin General Plan Field Inspection Tustin City Code and Guidelines Items c & d - Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated: The property is currently vacant. Development of the site with ten (10) mobile homes would modify the visual character of the site and its surroundings. The site is surrounded by two- story residential buildings to the south and east, mobile homes to the west, and a RV storage facility to the north along the Interstate 5 freeway. The proposed mobile homes will be located five (5) feet from the easterly and southerly property lines. In addition, trees and heavy landscaping will be planted within the setback areas. Since the proposed structures are only single story in height and with installation of upright trees and significant landscaping, no visual impacts to adjacent properties is anticipated. The proposed new mobile homes would generate new light sources with installation of new exterior lighting. However, the new sources of light would not adversely affect day- or night-time views in the area since the amount of lights would be commensurate with a typical residential project and would be required to comply with the City's security standards and all ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A - Analysis Page 2 lights would be arranged so that no direct rays would shine onto adjacent properties. The proposal will not substantially degrade the existing visual character nor create a new source of substantial light or glare. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: • Provide significant landscaping buffer in the form of upright trees in 20-30 feet on center along the easterly property line. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, landscaping and irrigation plans in accordance with the City's Landscape and Irrigation Guidelines shall be submitted for review and approval of the Community Development Department. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall submit a photometric study for buildings and common area lighting and shall ensure that lighting be of a typical residential level and shall be arranged so that direct rays do not shine on adjacent properties, subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director. Sources: Tustin General Plan Field Inspection Tustin City Code and Guidelines 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES Items a, b & c — No Impact: The proposed project will be located on a site that is currently undeveloped and surrounded by developed residential properties. The proposed project is not located on a property designated as Prime farmland, Unique farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, nor is it located within a property zoned for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract; therefore, the project will have no impacts on any farmland, nor will it conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract. The proposed project will not result in conversion of farmland to a non-agricultural use. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required Sources: Tustin General Plan Field Inspection Submitted Plans Tustin City Code California Division of Land Resource Protection — Farmland Map 3. AIR QUALITY Items a, b, c, d & e — Less Than Significant Impact: The project will temporarily increase the amount of short-term emissions to the area due to grading of the property and construction activities. Since the site is relatively flat, only minor grading will be required. The proposed development of ten (10) mobile home pads on a 1.12 - acre parcel is well below the thresholds of significance established by Tables 6-2 (operation ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 3 thresholds) and 6-3 (construction thresholds) of the Air Quality Management District's CEQA Air Quality Handbook and is not anticipated to have a significant impact. Less than significant short-term emissions associated with grading, construction, and operation of the proposed project will comply with the regulations of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the City of Tustin Grading Manual, which include requirements for dust control. As such, the proposed project will not create a significant impacts related to air quality. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required Sources: South Coast Air Quality Management District Rules & Regulations City of Tustin Grading Manual Project Application Field Inspection 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Items a, b, c, d, e & f — No Impact: The site is an undeveloped parcel currently owned and maintained by the mobile home park on a regular basis for weed abatement. The site is also surrounded by properties that are developed with pavement and structures. The site is not inhabited by any sensitive species of animals and the project would have no impacts on animal populations, diversity of species, or migratory patterns. No wetlands exist within the project site. The project would include new trees and landscape materials will be provided in accordance with the Tustin Landscape and Irrigation guidelines. No impacts to any unique, rare, or endangered species of plant or animal life identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would occur as a result of this project. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required Sources: Field Inspection Submitted Plans Tustin City Code 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES Items a, b, c, d — Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated: The property is not located within the City's Cultural Resources Overlay District, nor is there any identified cultural historic resources identified on the site. The site is not located in an area of high paleontological sensitivity as illustrated in the City's General Plan. The site is an abandoned railroad right-of-way, previously improved and graded as a railroad easement, so it is not located in an untouched and undisturbed land. However, since excavation and grading is proposed for development of the mobile home park, additional protective measures for any potential paleontological resources will be required in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 15064.5. In addition, since rezoning and ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 4 reclassification of the site would require a general plan amendment, an invitation for consultation for a period of ninety (90) days was sent to a list of seven (7) Native American tribes provided by the Native American Heritage Commission as required by Government Code Section 65352.3. No written request for consultation was received. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: • Prior to issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall provide written evidence that a County -certified archaeologist has been retained. If buried resources are found during grading within the project area, a qualified archaeologist would need to assess the site significance and perform the appropriate mitigation. The Native American viewpoint shall be considered during this process. This could include testing or data recovery. Native American consultation shall also be initiated during this process. • Prior to issuance of a any grading permit, the applicant shall provide a Paleontological Resource Management Plan (PRMP) prepared for the site, which details the methods to be used for surveillance of construction grading, assessing finds, and actions to be taken in the event that unique paleontological resources are found. • Prior to the issuance of any grading permit, the applicant shall provide written evidence to the Community Development Department that a County -certified paleontologist has been retained to conduct salvage excavation of unique paleontological resources if they are found.

GEOLOGY & SOILS Items a -ii, a -iii, & d Less Than Significant Imnact The proposed buildings will be located on expansive soil and will be located within an area that may subject people or structures to strong seismic ground shaking and seismic -related ground failure including liquefaction. A soils report is required with submittal of the grading plans; however, no building permits or foundation permit will be issued by the City since mobile home parks are under State jurisdiction. No significant impact is anticipated since the project would be required by the State to comply with the 2001 Uniform Building Code related to Chapter 18. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required Sources: Tustin General Plan Tustin City Code Uniform Building Code Field Evaluation ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 5 Items a -i, a -iv, b, c, & e — No Impact: The project site is not located within an area on the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map. The project will not be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable and will not result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, or collapse. Since all new buildings in the City are required to operate on the existing sewer system, the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems will not be necessary. Sources: Tustin General Plan Tustin City Code 2001 Uniform Building Code Field Evaluation California Seismic Hazard Zone Map, Tustin Quadrangle, January 17, 2001 7. HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Items a through f and h — No Impact: The proposed project involves grading, utility installation and pad development for mobile home parks. No storage or transport of hazardous materials are anticipated to or from the proposed residential development. The project would not result in exposure to hazardous substances other than the possibility of household hazardous waste generation which residents could properly dispose of most unwanted items at approved County drop-off locations. Because the use is for residential purposes, the project is not anticipated to need or emit hazardous materials which could create a hazard to the adjacent school or the general public if released into the environment. The site is not listed as a hazardous materials site, is not located on any potential impact zones identified for John Wayne Airport, and there are no private airstrips nearby. The project has been reviewed by the Tustin Police Department which determined that the project will not interfere with any evacuation plans. The project has received preliminary review by the Orange County Fire Authority and since the total number of units is over 150, the additional units are required to be equipped with fire suppressant systems approved by the Orange County Fire Authority. All grading and construction is subject to compliance with all applicable Uniform Building and Fire Codes. As such, the project is not anticipated to result in any significant hazards. Sources: Uniform Building and Fire Codes Submitted Plans Tustin General Plan Item e — Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated: The site is currently developed with 148 mobile home units with one access from Browning Avenue. Since with the additional units the total number of mobile home units would exceed the Orange County Fire Authority's threshold of 150 units (requires a secondary access), the excess units are required to be equipped with a fire sprinkler system to mitigate any increased response time that may be experienced in an emergency response situation due to limited access. The Orange County Fire Authority's requirement for the fire master plan and ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 6 adequate fire flow would need to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit. Installation of fire sprinkler systems are only recommendations. Since the building permits will be issued by the State, the City of Tustin is not the authorized agency to ensure implementation of these recommendations. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: • Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the applicant shall submit a Fire Master Plan to obtain approval of the Fire Chief for all fire protection access roads to within 150 feet of all portions of the exterior of every structure on-site. This plan shall indicate the locations of all existing and proposed fire hydrants on the project and shall indicate the locations of all fire lane signs and/or red curbs in the existing park as well as the proposed new addition. The applicant may contact the OCFA at (714) 573-6100 or visit the OCFA website to obtain a copy of the "Guidelines for Emergency Access." • Along with the Fire Master Plan, the applicant shall provide evidence of adequate fire flow. The "Orange County Fire Authority Water Availability for Fire Protection" form shall be signed by the applicable water district and submitted to the Fire Chief for approval. Mitigation Measure Recommended: • The applicant is recommended to submit plans for the required automatic fire sprinkler system in all of the proposed structures to the Fire Chief for review and approval. Please contact the OCFA at (714) 573-6100 to request a copy of the "Orange County Fire Authority Notes for New NFPA 13 Commercial Sprinkler Systems." The system should be operational prior to occupancy. 8. HYDROLOGY & WATER QUALITY Items c, d, e, f, k,1, in, n, o, p — Less Than Significant Impact: The project site is relatively flat, and the proposed project will continue to maintain a relatively flat site with improved site drainage, including roads, curbs and gutters, and additional landscaping. With new construction, there is the potential to impact stormwater runoff from construction and post -construction activities with stormwater pollutants from the maintenance of landscape areas and the trash enclosures. There is also the potential for discharge of stormwater to affect the beneficial uses of the receiving waters and changes in the flow velocity or volume of storm water runoff. However, the project is required to comply with the City's Water Quality Ordinance and most recently adopted NPDES permit (Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order R8-2002-0010), thus reducing any potential impacts to a level of insignificance. Together, these regulations minimize water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into local waters. As such, the project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or degrade water quality in the area. Mitigation Measures: None Required. Sources: Field Verification ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 7 Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Items a, b, g, h, i, and i — No Impact: The project site is relatively flat, and the proposed project will continue to maintain a relatively flat site with improved site drainage and additional landscaping. A significant amount of stormwater received on-site will percolate into the soil where landscaping is provided, and remaining stormwater will be required to be conveyed through an approved filter prior to entering a City stormdrain. The City's stromwater infrastructure is able to accommodate additional water from the project. The applicant must provide a drainage and hydrology report to the City and demonstrate that the private stormwater drainage system will be able to able to handle the capacity of any wastewater directed into the system. Best Management Practices are required to be implemented for construction activity and would deter water from flowing off-site. As such, the project will not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or degrade water quality in the area. The project is located within Zone X (areas of 0.2 percent annual chance flood), as mapped on a Flood Insurance Rate Map. Accordingly, the project will be designed and graded with an appropriate drainage system to avoid any potential flood hazards. The project is not located within a 100 -year flood hazard area structure which will impede or redirect flood flows. The project site will not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death as a result of the failure of a levee or dam, or by inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Mitigation Measures: None Required. Sources: Field Verification Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Federal Flood Insurance Rate Map 9. LAND USE PLANNING Items a and b — Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed development would require approval of a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and a Zone Change to designate the unclassified site to Mobile Home Park (MHP). Mobile Home Parks are conditionally permitted in the MHP zoning; therefore, this proposal requires approval of a conditional use permit that will be considered by the Planning Commission and the City Council concurrently with the GPA and Zone Change applications. Assuming that the project components are approved, the proposed use would be consistent with the adjacent land use and zoning regulations, which are residential uses. The proposed development would meet the development standards of the City's Mobile Home Park (MHP) zoning district as follows: ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 8 Minimum Standard Proposed Building Site = 5 acres 1.12 new and 16.84 existing = total 17.96 acres Individual Lot size = 2,800 sq. ft. 4,170 sq.ft. (average) Density = 10 du /acre 9 du/acre Site Coverage = 75 percent 58 percent Parking = 2 per unit double car garage Guest Parking = 1 per 10 units (15) 34 spaces Front Setback = 5 feet 5 feet Individual Lot = 3 feet 4'-9" In addition, the proposed project would provide additional housing opportunities consistent with Goal 1 and Policy 1.3 and of the Housing Element, which encourage providing an adequate supply of housing to meet the need of a variety of housing types and the diverse socio-economic needs of all community residents and preserving affordable housing by maintaining mobile home parks. The project is accessible through the City's current street system through the existing mobile home park, and the project could be supported with existing transportation and public facilities. The proposed project would not divide an established community since the vacant site is surrounded by residential uses on the east, south, and west side. The proposed project is not located in the conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. The proposed project would not conflict with any applicable conservation plan. Mitigation Measures: None Required. Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin General Plan Tustin Zoning Map Item c — No Impact: The project site is located within an urbanized area and does not conflict with any habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Mitigation Measures: None Required. Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin General Plan 10. MINERAL RESOURCES Items a & b — No Impact: The proposed project is not located on a mineral resource recovery site. The construction of ten (10) mobile home pads will not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 9 Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan 11. NOISE Item a - Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated: The project site is located more than 300 feet from the freeway wall along the Interstate 5 freeway within an area with exterior Community Noise Equivalent (CNEL) contours within the 65 dB range (Figure N-1 of Tustin Noise Element). The provisions of the State of California Noise Insulation Standards and the City of Tustin Noise Ordinance limits the indoor noise levels for multifamily residential living spaces not to exceed 45 dB and exterior noise level not to exceed 55 dB. Table N-2 of the Tustin Noise Element identifies potential conflicts between the land uses and the noise environment. Per Table N-2, the proposed project falls within Zone B. Zone B implies minor soundproofing may be needed in the form of conventional construction, closed windows, and providing fresh air supply systems or air conditioning. There is an existing sound wall along the freeway; therefore, no additional barrier would be required along the northwesterly portion of the site. Building permits for installation of the mobile home units will be issued by the State, and the City of Tustin would not be reviewing and issuing building permits for the units. However, to maintain the required interior noise standard, the City recommends upgrades for exterior walls, roof insulation, and window glazing and restrictive use of window and door openings along the north westerly portion of the site to reduce interior noise levels. These mitigation measures are only a recommendation. Since the building permits will be issued by the State, the City of Tustin is not the authorized agency to ensure implementation of these recommendations. Mitigation Measures Recommended: • Installation of air conditioners or fresh air supply system is recommended for all units to allow for closed windows and mitigating the freeway noise. • Installation of dual glazed windows is recommended. Use of limited window and door openings on the northwesterly property line along the freeway side to minimize noise exposure is also recommended. Sources: Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan Item b, c, & d — No Impact Although the grading and construction of the site may result in typical temporary construction noise impacts, the Tustin Noise Ordinance only allows construction activities to occur during the daytime on Monday through Saturday to eliminate construction noise during the nighttime hours. The proposed project will not create excessive ground vibrations, nor will it create a permanent increase in the existing ambient noise levels beyond the established standards. ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 10 Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan Tustin Zoning Code Item e & f—No Impact: The site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two (2) miles of a public or private airport. Although the project is not located within the John Wayne Airport flight path, it is in close proximity to the incoming flights over the State Route 55 freeway to John Wayne Airport. The City, County, and State criteria for Community Noise Equivalent (CNEL) for exterior residential uses is 65 dB consistent with the Tustin Noise standards. In accordance with the California Airport Noise Standards, John Wayne Airport performs quarterly noise monitoring at several locations. Based on the quarterly noise abatement reports, the project is not located within the 65 CNEL area/noise impact area. As a result, no specific method of construction would be required to mitigate the unanticipated aircraft noise impacts. The project, however, would be conditioned to meet City's noise standards. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required Sources: Orange County Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP) Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan 12. POPULATION & HOUSING Items a, b, and c — No Impact: The proposed project would increase the number of housing units in the area by 10 units, which is within the allowable housing units and population as identified in the City's General Plan. The increase in housing units and population would not be substantial in that new public streets or new public services would not need to be created. The proposed project would not displace any existing housing, but rather would provide for additional housing units. Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan 13. PUBLIC SERVICES Item a — Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project would provide for ten (10) mobile home units. The proposed project is in an existing urbanized area where fire and police protection are currently provided. Although the project would increase the number of housing units within the area, no new streets, public services, or infrastructure would need to be created. ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 11 Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan Adopted California Building and Safety and Fire Codes 14. RECREATION Item a — Less than Significant Impact Tustin City Code Section 9227 requires that a minimum of 100 square feet of recreation for each mobile home lot if more than 25 percent of the units are occupied with families with children under the age of fifteen (15). The project will be in compliance with the City requirements and provide for adequate on-site recreational opportunities. The proposed additional mobile home pads will be part of an existing mobile home park which includes an approximately 9,800 square foot park with a community pool, barbeque, and clubhouse. In addition, a new 6,379 square foot park will be provided with development of the new homes. The new park would be located on the vacant parcel, and development of a small neighborhood park will not have an adverse physical effect on the environment. The applicant will be required to submit landscape and irrigation plans for review and approval of the Community Development Department for development of the proposed 6,379 square foot park. By providing an on-site neighborhood park, there will be no substantial increase in use of existing neighborhood parks, and development of ten (10) units will not have the potential to substantially deteriorate existing park facilities. Items b — No Impact: While the residents of the project may use existing City parks, the increased use of existing parks would not be such that substantial deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated, nor would the project include recreational facilities that would have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan 15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC Item a, b, c, d, e, f, g — No Impact: The most representative trip rates for the project are provided in Trip Generation published by the Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE). The proposed ten (10) added mobile home dwelling units (and added park area) was compared to the abandoned railroad right-of-way (which generates no traffic), and it was concluded that the project has the potential to generate a total of 50 net daily trip ends, based upon the ITE rates. The net change in AM and PM peak hour generation is anticipated to be five and six trip ends. These findings were based on reference of trip generation rates found to be most representative of the proposed project. Based upon the projected traffic and the adjacent street system, it has been ZC 06-001, GPA 06-22, CUP 05-028 Attachment A — Analysis Page 12 determined there is sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed project. No significant AM or PM peak hour impacts are anticipated. The proposed project will not induce substantial population or growth wherein the project will not result in changes to air traffic patterns or conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation such as bus turnouts or bicycle racks. The project includes sufficient on-site parking including guest parking to comply with current parking requirements for the proposed use. As such, no impacts to parking are anticipated. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required. Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code 16. UTILITIES & SERVICE SYSTEMS Items a, b, c, d, e, f & e — No Imnact The proposed project will not exceed the requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board or require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities. The proposed project will utilize the existing sewer and storm drain systems and thus will not require construction of a new storm water drainage facility or solid waste facility. The project would be required to submit a hydrology report to ensure proper grading, drainage, and sewer systems. The project will utilize the City's existing trash hauler contract, thus not requiring a new trash hauler. Adequate water supply from existing resources will be available to serve the proposed project. Mitigation Measures/Monitoring Required: None Required. Sources: Submitted Plans Tustin City Code Tustin General Plan MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Items a, b & c —No Impact: The project design, construction, and operation will comply with applicable regulations. The project, by nature of its location and as designed, does not have the potential to: degrade the quality of the environment; reduce the habitat of 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. The project does not have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of the long-term. It does not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable or that would cause substantial adverse impacts on human beings.
