Environmental Review
The Tustin City Council certified the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) for the RHASP on October 16, 2018. The FPEIR is a Program EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FPEIR considered the potential environmental impacts associated with the development of the RHASP. The Project proposes the development of a site with uses that are consistent with the RHASP Program EIR pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq.) the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., CEQA Guidelines).
An environmental checklist has been prepared as the basis for an Addendum to the FPEIR. The checklist confirms that the project is within the scope of the FPEIR as provided in State CEQA Guideline Section 15168 and the Addendum augments the analysis in the FPEIR as provided in CEQA Guideline Sections 15162 and 15164 and provides the basis for the determination that no supplemental or subsequent EIR is require to evaluate the proposed project. Environmental analysis and mitigation measures from FPEIR have been incorporated into the Addendum (Attachment H).
