5. 2023 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORT AND ANNUAL MITIGATION MONITORING STATUS REPORT FOR FEIS/EIR FOR TUSTIN LEGACY SPECIFIC PLAN The California Government Code requires that the Planning Commission provide an annual progress report to the City Council on the status of the City’s General Plan and the progress in its implementation, including the progress in meeting our share of regional housing needs and efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing development, maintenance, and improvement. 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 27, 2024, 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. Recommendation: That the City Council: Authorize staff to forward the General Plan Annual Report to the State OPR and HCD; and Receive and file the Tustin Legacy Annual Mitigation Monitoring Status Report and authorize staff to submit a subsequent report when considerable and significant activities occur.
