Plan Description - City of Tustin

Appendices
6. Society of St. Vincent de Paul - The Society of St. Vincent de
Paul submitted an application which proposed that a Food
Distribution Center be located within an existing 66,000 sq. ft.
warehouse building at the installation.
The Task Force denied the proposal for reasons which include:
• The proposal (food distribution) did not fill a critical need
gap identified in Tustin or Irvine's Consolidated Plan, nor
would the proposal serve existing or planned homeless
food distribution needs that weren't currently being filled
by the existing food distribution center located in the City
of Orange. In addition, the proposed program was
intended to replace this existing service.
• The program is a duplication of available support services
at another location (similar facilities are leased by the
applicant within the City of Orange).
• It did not balance the economic and other needs of the
community as it appeared that there would have been a
negative impact on the property's ability to generate
needed tax revenue resulting in the annual loss to the
community of approximately $52,400 in redevelopment
tax increment and $16,500 annually in interim lease
payments for use of an existing building at the site. With
the Fiscal Impacts in the early years of the Reuse Plan
expected to be significant to the local community, transfers
of significant portions of the base off the tax roll would
create even more severe impacts and impede reuse efforts.
7. Orange County Development Council - The Orange County
Development Council submitted an application which proposed
that a Food Bank be located within an existing helicopter
hangar on the installation near Warner Avenue and Red Hill
Avenue.
The Task Force denied the proposal for reasons which include:
• The proposal (food distribution) did not fill a critical need
gap identified in Tustin or Irvine's Consolidated Plan, nor
would the proposal serve existing or planned homeless
food distribution needs that weren't currently being filled
by the existing food distribution center located in the City
of Garden Grove. In addition, the proposed program was
intended to replace this existing service.
