BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report
The General Plan, which serves as the blueprint for future growth, outlines goals and
policies for land use decisions, circulation improvements, housing development, open
space programing, public safety, and more. State law mandates that the City Council
receive an annual update on the City's progress in implementing these long-term planning
goals. The attached General Plan Annual Progress Report (GP APR) reflects the City's
progress during the 2024 calendar year (January 1 — December 31, 2024).
In addition to the GP APR, Section 65400(a)(2)(B) of the Government Code requires the
City to prepare an annual progress report specifically related to the implementation of the
General Plan's Housing Element. The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HE
APR), which is described in more detail below, is included in the General Plan Annual
Progress Report as Appendix A.
2024 Housing Element Progress Report
The Housing Element details the City's allocated share of housing for the Regional Housing
Needs Allocation (RHNA) planning period (June 30, 2021 to October 15, 2029). Table 1
below summarizes the the City's housing obligations across different income levels, with a
total fair share housing accomodation of 6,782 units.

INTRODUCTION
California State Law requires each City to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan
for its physical development and any land outside its boundaries which bears a
relationship to its planning activities. In essence, the City's general plan serves as the
blueprint for future growth and development. As a blueprint for the future, the plan
contains policies and programs designed to provide decision makers with a basis for all
land use related decisions.
Tustin adopted its first General Plan in 1966. The Plan was prepared as a joint effort
between the City of Tustin Planning Department and the County of Orange Advance
Planning Division. Major changes to State law led to the preparation of, and revisions to,
Tustin's General Plan during the 1970s and 1980s. During this period of time, General
Plan elements were developed and/or amended incrementally. Tustin's current General
Plan was comprehensively amended and adopted in January 2001 and subsequently
amended in 2005 (El Camino Real reclassification) and 2007 (Pacific Center East Specific
Plan boundary adjustment). In 2008, the General Plan was updated with minor text
amendments (clean up items reflecting current status) and in 2012, the
Conservation/Open Space/Recreation Element was updated regarding existing and
proposed parks and facilities inventory and other minor text amendments. In 2022, the
City updated its Housing Element in compliance with State law.
The General Plan incorporates all required elements as follows: Land Use, Housing,
Conservation/Open Space/Recreation, Noise, Circulation, Public Safety and a locally
mandated element, Growth Management. Upon the adoption or revision of two or more
General Plan elements, the City will adopt or review an Environmental Justice element in
compliance with State law.
The City's current Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on October 4, 2022
in compliance with State Law. Following the adoption of the Housing Element, HCD
provided the City with certification on October 10, 2022.
Section 65400 (b) of the Government Code requires that the City's planning agency
provide:
1) An annual report to the City Council on the status of the General Plan and progress
in its implementation;
2) Its progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs; local efforts to remove
governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of
housing; and
3) The degree to which the approved general plan complies with the guidelines
developed and adopted pursuant to Section 65040.2 and the date of the last
revision to the general plan.

This annual report covers activities between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024,
and is required to be provided to the City Council. Following the City Council's action, the
annual report will be forwarded to the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation
(LUCI, formerly the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR)).
HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRESS
Included in the Housing Element is the City's share of housing needs for the RHNA
planning period of June 30, 2021 to October 15, 2029 as determined by HCD. This is the
third report for the sixth cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). Table 1
identifies the City of Tustin's assigned share of regional housing needs.

Table 2 below provides a snapshot of the housing development pipeline in the City of Tustin
as of December 31, 2024, illustrating the number of units at each major stage of the approval
and construction process. Housing projects progress through three key phases: entitlement
approval, building permit issuance, and certificate of occupancy issuance (completion). To
prevent double counting, a unit is only reflected in the most advanced stage it reached by
the end of the year. For example, if a project was entitled, received building permits, and
completed construction within the same year, its units are recorded solely in the "Number of
Units Completed" column. This approach ensures an accurate representation of the number
of units that remain in the entitlement or construction phases versus those that have been
fully completed and are ready for occupancy. To determine the income level of each unit,
HCD developed criteria for the City to follow. These criteria are based on occupant annual
income, rent payment, or purchase price.

While entitlement approvals and certificates of occupancy are important milestones in the
housing pipeline, RHNA compliance is specifically measured by the number of building
permits issued. Table 3 provides a comprehensive overview of the City of Tustin's
progress in meeting its RHNA obligations for each income category by showing the total
number of building permits issued during each year of the 2021-2029 cycle.

Beginning with the 2010 Annual Report, HCD requires that each city prepare an annual
report using forms and definitions adopted by HCD. Appendix A to the General Plan Annual
Report includes Table A (Housing Development Applications Submitted), Table A2 (Annual
Building Activity Report — New Construction, Entitled, Permitted and Completed), Table B
(Regional Housing Need Allocation Progress), Table C (Sites Identified or Rezoned to
Accommodate Shortfall), Table D (Program Implementation Status), Table E (Commercial
Development Bonus Approved), Table F (Units Rehabilitated, Preserved and Acquired for
Alternative Sites Analysis), Table F2 (Above Moderate Income Units Converted to Moderate
Income), Table G (Locally Owned Lands), Table H (Locally Owned Surplus Sites), Table J
(Student Housing Development), and Table K (Tenant Preference Policy).
PROGRESS REPORT
The City's General Plan implementation progress report has individual sections organized
by element (Table 4). Each section includes a brief description of the scope of the
element and a discussion of program accomplishments relevant to each goal. Program
accomplishments include ordinances, programs, guidelines, specific plans, general plan
amendments, and discretionary actions adopted or implemented during the reporting
period. Often these program accomplishments meet several goals that are interrelated
to various elements of the General Plan. To avoid redundancy, the implementation
programs are described under the primary goal they implement and are listed by name
only under secondary goals.
EFFORTS TO REMOVE GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
TO THE MAINTENANCE, IMPROVEMENT, AND
DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING
The City has taken the following steps to remove governmental constraints that hinder the
development of affordable housing:
1. Continued implementation of the General Plan;
2. Continued to update the General Plan as needed to ensure internal consistency and
consistency with State and Federal law, such as the 2021-2029 Housing Element;
3. Continued processing of development plans to include affordable housing
components through entitlements and Development Agreements;
4. Continued to grant density bonuses by providing developer incentives for the
production of affordable housing as provided by State law and the Tustin City Code;
5. Continued plan review and processing of accessory dwelling units, as provided by
State law and Tustin City Code 9279;
2024 General Plan Annual Report Page 4
Docusign Envelope ID: 0430F470-9D70-4B51-AB19-8337C321903E
6. Established the Tustin Housing Authority in 2011 as a mechanism to seek other
affordable housing funding opportunities in response to the dissolution of
Redevelopment and the loss of an affordable housing funding source;
7. Adopted the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan and Red Hill Avenue Specific
Plan, which infused the potential for 887 and 500 new residential units, respectively,
into both specific plan areas. These specific plans are being updated to align their
policies with the real estate market to encourage development.
8. Allocated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for improvements
within the low- to moderate -income neighborhoods to encourage rehabilitation and
revitalization; and
9. Joined the Orange County Housing Finance Trust (OCHFT), which is a joint powers
authority between the County of Orange and cities throughout the county. OCHFT
was created for the purpose of funding housing specifically assisting the homeless
population and persons and families of extremely low, very low, and low income
within the county.
10. Participated in the State Housing & Community Development Grant Programs (SB2
Planning Grants and Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant), requesting
reimbursement of more than $600,000 in housing streamlining -related projects;
11. Amended the Zoning Code to update and clarify development standards and
requirements;
12. Updated the Zoning Code to comply with various State laws, covering topics such as
the Density Bonus and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU).
This General Plan Annual Report enables the City to assess the effectiveness of its General
Plan and provides guidance to the City in focusing on its future goals and policies. As
evidenced by this General Plan Annual Report, the City has implemented numerous
ordinances, programs, guidelines, specific plans, general plan amendments, and
discretionary actions in accordance with its General Plan goals. Many of these
implementation tools executed goals within several General Plan elements, demonstrating
the interrelationship among the elements and the comprehensive approach the City has
taken in implementing the General Plan. The City will continue its efforts in carrying out the
identified goals and policies of the General Plan.

the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan (DCCSP) with goals and
objectives to enhance Old Town; create a pedestrian oriented community;
revitalize the City's commercial core; protect community resources; improve
connectivity and access roads; and, attract new businesses. This plan
introduced mixed -use and infused the potential for 887 units into the area
through a Residential Allocation Reservation (RAR) review process. This plan
was reassessed, and on December 5, 2023, the Mayor's Economic
Development Ad -Hoc Committee gave staff direction to implement a variety of
policies to better align the specific plan with market trends with the intent of
encouraging development.

In 2024, the City Council temporarily suspended the affordable housing in -lieu
fee required for certain affordable housing projects in this specific plan, and set
the value of land for the purposes of park fee calculation to $2.5 million. Later in
2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of reducing multifamily
residential parking requirements and eliminating private storage requirements for
housing developments.
• Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan: In November 2018, the Red Hill Avenue Specific
Plan (RHASP) was adopted by the City Council with goals and objectives that
include improving the existing commercial corridor and the creation of a more
vibrant and unique pedestrian -oriented community. The RHASP introduced the
potential for mixed -use to the area and identified the potential for 500 new units
in conjunction with the RAR review process. To date, the City has issued one (1)
RAR to a mixed -use project located at 13751 & 13841 Red Hill Avenue.
This plan was reassessed, and on December 5, 2023, the Mayor's Economic

completed in 2025.
• Housing Development Streamlining (CA-2024-0004): On October 1, 2024, the
City Council adopted updates relative to the implementation of the Housing
Element, amending various sections to remove discretionary approval
requirements for residential uses such as triplexes, supportive housing, and
transitional housing.
• Zoning Administrator Streamlining (CA-2024-0005): On October 8, 2024,
the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council approval of
amendments to streamline projects requiring Zoning Administrator (ZA)
approval, including allowing the approval of Conditional Use Permits (CUPs)
for alcohol sales without a public hearing if no objections are received within
10 days of a public notice, removing the requirement for ZA approval for soil
remediation projects, clarifying language regarding mural and graphics,
and more. These amendments were ultimately approved by the City
Council in 2025.
• Voluntary Workforce Housing Incentive Program: On September 2018, the
City Council passed Ordinance No. 1491, a Voluntary Workforce Housing
Incentive Program which only applies to commercially zoned properties that
convert to mixed -use residential under the Downtown Commercial Core and
Red Hill Avenue Specific Plans. In October 2018, the Ordinance went into
effect requiring developers of residential or mixed -use developments that

2. Code Enforcement works with other agencies in abating substandard
housing conditions such as hoardings, illegal conversion of garage to living
units, lack of health and safety minimum standards, etc.
3. Code Enforcement officers, Police Safety Officers (PSOs) and the City's
graffiti removal contractor actively responded to 4,285 graffiti reports. The
implementation of the Countywide Tracking and Automated Graffiti
Reporting system or "TAGRS" has enabled City staff and police personnel
to track graffiti, calculates costs of removal, and ultimately prosecuting
graffiti crimes.
4. On a weekly basis, Code Enforcement Officers respond to unpermitted
temporary signs throughout the City. Proactive efforts from Code
Enforcement to inform residents and businesses have helped minimize the
number of unpermitted signs.
5. Code Enforcement, is part of the Neighborhood Improvement Task Force,
which is a committee based on a community governance work ethic where
the Police Department works in partnership with other city departments,
including Code Enforcement, to reduce crime, increase the sense of safety
and security within the City.
6. In conjunction with the City's Community Development Block Grant
program, the Code Enforcement officers work with Fair Housing providers
in educating residents of their equal housing rights through workshops, open
houses, tenant/landlord dispute resolutions, fair housing counseling, etc.
7. The shopping cart containment requirements have been in effect since
February 17, 2009. Code Enforcement has full compliance with retailers that
are subject to the requirements. In some instances, Code Enforcement
Officers had to open cases to enforce the ordinance with
existing retailers, but overall there has been a significant reduction in

which represent a potential danger to the safety of the citizens, sites, structures, public facilities, and infrastructure. The Element
establishes policies to minimize the danger to residents, workers, and visitors and identifies actions needed to deal with crisis
situations. The following potential hazards are included in the Public Safety Element: flooding, seismically induced conditions,
including surface rupture, ground shaking, ground failure, and seiche; slope instability leading to mudslides and landslides;
subsidence and other geologic hazards; wildland/urban interface fires; evacuation routes, hazardous materials; law
enforcement; and aircraft overflights. The following is a listing of all Public Safety Element goals and implementation measures:

disseminates flood zone information to the public, developers and builders.
• Hazard Mitigation Plan: Pursuant to the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of
2000, the City prepared and adopted a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) in 2009
that analyzed risks to community facilities and infrastructure and identified
potential mitigation strategies to protect those facilities that may be at -risk. An
updated HMP was completed in 2019. The updated HMP was approved by the
California Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. The City Council adopted the plan on September 17,
2019. The plan is currently being updated with an expected completion date of
Fall 2025.
GOAL 2: Minimize risk from upstream dam

mitigate these issues.
• Regional 800 MHz Communications System: The City contracts with the
County of Orange to operate and maintain this system. The system is utilized
by numerous public agencies for law, fire, medical and public works related
communications. The County is engaged in a multi -year effort to recapitalize
and modernize the system. The City's systems are managed by the Police
Department and were updated with the latest technology by the County
annually.
• In -Building Public Safety Radio System Coverage: City regulations require
builders, owners, and developers of non -exempted new and planned
construction of dense buildings and subterranean structures to field test radios
and install in -building coverage systems in areas of those buildings that impede
effective public safety radio communications.
• Police Department Substation: Improvements were recently completed for
the Legacy Annex Improvement Project, which established a new police
substation in the southern area of the City. The project consisted of
modifications to Building A and includes a rework of interior partition walls, new
building entry, interior finishes, mechanical and electrical alteration, building
signage, and ballistic protection at the Police Lobby. Site work for the project
included code compliant access to the new entries of Building A and a new
employee access into the proposed secure parking for Police Department
Vehicles. This facility will provide for a more efficient deployment of personnel
and provide residents will a more convenient location to access police services.
In January of 2021, the Community Resources Unit moved into the Annex,
15445 Lansdowne Rd., in preparation for the future substation location.
