Appendices
which would create an impact on SAUSD facilities. In
fact, the closest residential area to the proposed site at
MCAS, Tustin is approximately one and one-half to two
miles away. The Tustin Unified School District (TUSD)
and Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) requests for
conveyance were supported by the Tustin Base Closure
Task Force because proposed residential uses are within
both District boundaries at MCAS, Tustin. Since the
residential uses will impact TUSD and IUSD facilities,
those conveyances are appropriate.
• SAUSD will have under California law the ability to
adopt a School Facilities' Fee program within their district
boundaries at the base of approximately $.28 a square foot
for all new construction. With over a million square feet
of commercial and industrial space possible for
development within the SAUSD boundaries based on the
proposed Reuse Plan, SAUSD would see school facility
revenue in excess of $280,000 from proposed
development on the base in addition to actual property tax
revenue. Additionally, California law also provides that
SAUSD could acquire property within the City of Santa
Ana to meet their needs, serving the immediate residential
neighborhoods of Santa Ana.
• The requested 75-acre site is not the most suitable site for
a school given its adjacency to two major arterial
highways, its location within City of Tustin General Plan
roadway Noise Impact Areas that will exceed 65 dba's,
and the immediate interface with proposed industrial uses.
In addition, the subject site will be impacted physically by
the proposed widening of Red Hill Avenue which will
require at least 20 feet of additional right-of-way
dedication along Red Hill Avenue (the westerly portion of
the requested SAUSD site) and extension of Warner
Avenue which will require at least 100-120 feet of rightof-way
dedication (the northerly portion of the requested
75-acre site).
6. Native American Indian Cultural Center - The Native American
Indian Cultural Center submitted an application requesting
transfer of approximately 130 acres of base property for use in
creating a four-year university program for Native-American
students.
