Sixty people packed Tustin City Council chambers Tuesday to argue for or against a sweeping plan to develop the city's former Marine helicopter base into neighborhoods of luxury homes, a golf course and business parks. The issue, which has been debated for more than six years, drew impassioned testimony from opponents of the plan, chiefly two Santa Ana school districts that want a chunk of the base for a new kindergarten-through-college campus.
