In addition, the City Council certified the Program Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin along with its Supplemental and Addendums. The FEIS/EIR evaluated the environmental impacts of the reuse and disposal of MCAS-Tustin, which included the adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15097. The MMRP requires annual review to ensure compliance with required mitigations. On February 28, 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed the General Plan Annual Report and the Tustin Legacy Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status Report and authorized staff to forward the reports to the City Council. With Council authorization, staff will forward the General Plan Annual Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Office of Planning and Research (OPR) in fulfillment of the State's requirement, and receive and file the Tustin Legacy Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status Report.
