-u the Rezone application:
PC Resolution 04-6-22-2 2 June 22,2004
. 1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and
objectives, in particular, the provisions of the Land Use Element and the Community
Design Element because the recommended development standards will allow office
development consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the property,
and the recommended development standards include appropriate criteria to assure
consistency with the purpose and intent of the R&D (Research & Development-
Office) District and the Pacific Point Design Guidelines.
The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan designation for the
project site because the text amendments will facilitate the development of office
use which is consistent with the General Plan's Planned Community designation
and the development of "light industrial" pursuant to Table LU-3, Planned
Communities, Allowable Use Guidelines; and,
The proposed zone change will result in the development of land uses suitable to
the property's unique situation including natural and man-made constraints because
the recommended text amendments will result in development standards which will
allow site development consistent with the project site's natural and man-made
constraints; and,
The proposed zone change will be compatible with the existing land uses and/or
zoning classifications of adjoining properties or properties in the vicinity of the
property being rezoned which could potentially be affected by development because
the recommended development standards will maintain compatibility of the
proposed project with existing and proposed adjoining land uses; and,
The proposed amendment to the building height standard from a maximum of 35
feet to 39 feet represents a policy issue which the Planning Commission defers to
the legislative discretion of the City Council; further, two Planning Commissioners
recommended no change to the existing height limitation of 35 feet, and two
Commissioners recommended an increase in the height limit to no more than 37
feet.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of
the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings with respect to
the Architectural Control application :
I. The project plans comply with all provisions of Title 9 of the San Juan Capistrano
Municipal Code and the provisions of the R&D (Research & Development-Office)
District established by the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 81-01 , Forster Canyon Planned Community subject to the conditions of approval contained herein
and the recommended amendments to the development standards; and,
2. The architectural and general design of the project is generally consistent with the
goals, policies and objectives of the Community Design Element and applicable provisions of the General Plan because the proposed project complies with the
Pacific Point Design Guidelines and the R&D (Research & Development-Office)
District development standards established to assure Title 9, Land Use Code
consistency and General Plan consistency; and,
PC Resolution 04-6-22-2 3 June 22,2004
3. The site plan is compatible with surrounding existing and proposed land uses
because existing residential land uses to the east on McCracken Hill are buffered
by substantial physical separation from the project, and immediately adjoining land
uses will consist of commercial offices; and,
4. The general design considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the
design are consistent with the adopted Architectural Design Guidelines of the City,
because the Pacific Point Design Guidelines were developed, in large part, from the
City's Architectural Design Guidelines; and,
The site plan is functional and safe in regards to existing or mitigated off-site
conditions as they relate to adequacy of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation
because off-site road improvements are required to be constructed by the project,
access has been designed from Valle Road consistent with City standards, and the
parking design and pedestrian circulation have been designed to minimize potential
conflicts; and,
5.
6. The general landscape design, including the location, type, size, color, texture and
coverage of plant materials provide visual relief to complement buildings and structures consistent with the Pacific Point Design Guidelines.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning
Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby recommends approval of
amendments to Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 81-01, Forster Canyon as
provided by Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein; and furthermore, that the
Planning Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby approves Architectural
Control (AC) 03-05 subject to the following conditions of approval:
