DISCUSSION Warner Avenue is classified as an East-West Major Arterial in the City's General Plan Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Improving the one -mile segment of Warner Avenue from Main Street to Wright Street has been a long-term priority project that is being constructed in several phases. Improvements include widening the street from a four -lane roadway to a six -lane arterial to address safety issues, provide adequate vehicular capacity, installing parkways, raised median landscaping, storm drains, protected bike lanes, sound walls, street lights, and traffic signals. The City is acquiring properties for the development of Phase 2 of the Warner Avenue Improvements project, bounded by Oak Street and Grand Avenue. Construction is anticipated to begin in winter 2021. The proposed improvements for the project originated as a mitigation measure for the Tustin Legacy project, which involves the redevelopment of the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station as a mixed -use commercial, residential, and industrial project. As such, the City of Tustin agreed to partially fund the improvements on Warner Avenue between Main Street and Grand Avenue. The recommended partial property acquisition (Exhibit 1) is necessary to accommodate the street improvements for Phase 2. The purchase offer was determined based on the Real Property Purchase Agreement — Warner Avenue Improvements, Phase 2 September 21, 2021 Page 2 appraised value prepared by a California State licensed appraiser and accepted by the property owner (Exhibit 2). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT On September 1, 2015, City Council approved the Warner Avenue Final Environmental Impact Statement (SCH No. 2012101004).
