On June 30, 2025, an Offering Memorandum (OM) for the Site was released by CCP Real
Estate Advisors (CCP). The OM (included as Attachment 1) included a general overview of
the site, the proposed timeline and process for the offering, and submittal requirements. The
OM noted that the site is "currently zoned for retail, service commercial, entertainment,
hospitality, office, and research and development uses within the Tustin Legacy Specific

Specific Plan or General Plan amendments will be considered. "Acccordingly, many potential
developers expressed interest in a mixed -use residential component.
A total of twelve (12) responses were received by the offer deadline (September 12, 2025),
which proposed projects that varied in scope and land use. The proposed responses were
comprised of the following:
• Eight (8) responses proposed projects that utilize the full site area (approximately 52
acres) with a mix of retail, entertainment, office, hospitality, and residential (for -sale
as well as rental uses);
• Two (2) responses proposed projects that utilize the full site (approximately 52 acres)
for exclusively commercial use;
• One (1) response proposed a project that utilizes a portion of the site (approximately
11 acres) for entertainment use; and
• One (1) response expressed interest in the site for an entertainment use without
specific project details.
City staff, CCP and the Mayor appointed Ad -Hoc Committee composed of Mayor Austin
Lumbard and Council Member Ryan Gallagher (Ad -Hoc) met on October 15, 2025, to review
all responses. CCP identified six (6) of the twelve (12) responses received as being best
aligned with the City's vision for the site. After receiving feedback from CCP and City staff,
the Ad -Hoc is recommending that three (3) of those twelve (12) responses proceed to Round

consist of a mix of retail, entertainment, office, hospitality, and residential uses on the entirety
