provides for specific actions the City intends to undertake to achieve the goals and
policies of the Housing Element.

residential uses are allowed in the Planned Community Commercial/Business
(PCCB) land use designation when prescribed by a Housing Overlay (HO) or a
Specific Plan (SP).
D. That the proposed change to the General Plan land use designation would allow
for the development of high density residential development.
E. That pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), the City of Tustin, as lead agency,
determined that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to analyze
all potential adverse environmental impacts of the General Plan Amendment;
F. That all of the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines have been
satisfied by the City of Tustin in the EIR, which is sufficiently detailed so that all of
the potentially significant environmental effects of the proposed project have
been adequately evaluated; and
G. That the EIR prepared in connection with the proposed project sufficiently analyzes
both the feasible mitigation measures necessary to avoid or substantially lessen
the proposed project's potential environmental impacts and a range of feasible
alternatives capable of eliminating or reducing these effects in accordance with
CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.
