EPD Solutions is proud to support the City of Tustin on the Compass at Red Hill Project, an infill residential development in Orange County. 

Project Description

Located on a 3.39-acre site along Red Hill Avenue, the project includes 73 townhome-style condominium units across nine multifamily buildings, achieving a smart net density of 21.53 dwelling units per acre. In addition to private recreation areas for residents, the community will also enjoy a public plaza designed to encourage connection and walkability. 

EPD Services: 

With deep expertise in navigating CEQA, EPD prepared an Addendum pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, building on the previously certified Red Hill Area Specific Plan EIR and 2021 Addendum. Our approach streamlined the environmental review process while maintaining full compliance and supporting the City’s housing goals.  

Our team worked efficiently and quickly without compromising the quality of the CEQA documentation and obtained approval in just five months. 

EPD managed the following technical studies for the project that included: 

• Health Risk Assessment 

• Biological Resources Memo  

• Traffic Assessment  

• Phase I & II Environmental Site Assessments  

Projects like Compass at Red Hill demonstrate how a well-executed CEQA strategy can do more than check a regulatory box. It can actively support much-needed housing while protecting environmental resources and building community trust. 

At EPD Solutions, we help our clients anticipate and address environmental challenges, craft defensible documentation, and streamline the path to approval. Our team works as a true partner from start to finish—ensuring that projects stay on track, align with local priorities, and move forward with confidence.
