Council selects bidder to enter negotiations for 11-acre Pacific Center East site
Summary
On a unanimous vote the Tustin City Council approved selecting a recommended bidder to enter negotiations for an 11-acre parcel in the Pacific Center East specific plan; the selection authorizes negotiations but is not a final agreement.
The Tustin City Council on Jan. 20 approved a motion to select a recommended developer to proceed to negotiations for an 11‑acre competitive offering in the Pacific Center East specific plan. Council member Fink pulled item 6 from the consent calendar to explain the selection process and expressed support for moving the recommended bidder into negotiations; the council voted 5–0 to authorize negotiations.
What happened: Council member Fink described narrowing the bidders down to two light-industrial proposals and said the recommended bidder appears to be an appropriate fit for the site. The mayor clarified that the council was selecting a bidder to move into negotiations, not approving a final agreement.
Why it matters: the action advances the city’s effort to develop a high-profile site near a primary city entry point; council members thanked ad hoc committee members for their review work.
Vote and next steps: the motion to move forward was approved on a unanimous roll-call vote. Staff will enter negotiations with the selected bidder; any final agreement will return to the council for review and formal approval.
