Plan Description - City of Tustin

Appendices
• The program is a duplication of available support services at
another location (similar facilities are leased by the applicant
within the City of Garden Grove).
• 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.
2. Homeless Provider Applications Modified
1. Human Options (DOVE Housing) - Dove Housing originally
proposed to provide 20 emergency transitional housing
opportunities for homeless families distributed within various
portions of the installation's existing family housing (10
dwelling units in the base's Northeast (N/E) Housing Area, 10
dwelling units in the base's Southeast (S/E) Housing Area).
However, due to the type of multi-family unit (apartment-style)
configuration currently existing within the neighborhood, the
Task Force approved Dove's use of six units to be
accommodated in one 6-plex. Dove Housing is experienced in
owning and operating similar facilities, especially emergency
shelter programs elsewhere in the County. The proposal to serve
homeless families would fill a homeless need "gap" in the
continuum of care approach identified by the community. The
proposed program would promote coordination with support
service providers, school districts, etc., and encourages linkages
with job training, employment and education opportunities
provided within the proposed reuse plan and community at
large. The Task Force approved the request as modified with
conditions identified within the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan.
2. Families Forward (formerly Irvine Temporary Housing) -
Families Forward originally requested 13 transitional housing
opportunities for homeless families in the installation's
Southeast family housing area. However, due to the type of
multi-family unit (apartment-style) configuration currently
existing within the neighborhood the Task Force approved their
use of 14 units to be located in one 6-plex, and two 4-plexes due
