2.301, Development Review of the Land Use Code; and,

hearing to consider the provisions of this Ordinance and following receipt of all written
and oral public comments, the City Council closed the public hearing, considered the
evidence presented, and deliberated.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby finds
and determines that all of the above Recitals are true and correct and incorporates
such Recitals into this Ordinance as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION 2. CEQA:,
This project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The City's Environmental Administrator has determined that the
entire project is categorically exempt from further review under Section 15301, "Existing
Facilities" (Class 1). The entire project is exempt under Section 15301, because the use
proposed within the Code Amendment in this project will be within an existing restaurant
facility, with interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions,
plumbing and electrical conveyances. Further, the proposed code amendment allows for
banquet facilities with live entertainment only in conjunction with the restaurant use and
only with a CUP, so the City will review each banquet use proposal and determine
environmental impacts on a case-by-case basis.
SECTION 3. Findings
1. The proposed Land Use Code amendment conforms with General Plan Goal 1
and Goal 6 because- the amendment will diversify the land use composition,
enhance the performance of the Ortega Business Center by providing a destination
venue, generate sales tax (through venue rentals, and food and beverage sales),
and maintain balanced growth through the requirement of a Conditional Use
Permit. Additionally, the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit ensures each
proposed use remains compatible with the existing and future land uses and
character of the city, as well as ensuring adequate public facilities and services.
2. The amendment is ndcessary to implement the General Plan and to provide public
convenience because the locations where banquet facilities with live entertainment
can currently be established are limited to the Commercial Manufacturing, General
Commercial, and the Historic Town Center Master Plan zones, which are all
located on the west side of the City. Sector A-2, Subsector 1 of the Ortega Planned
Community CDP 78-01 offers appropriate opportunities for locations convenient to
the public and remain compatible with surrounding uses.
3. The proposed Land"Use Code amendment conforms with the intent of the
Development Code because the purpose of Sector A-2 is to provide for the
integration of a broad range of retail and services commercial, and public and
2 01063
semi-public institutional uses. The allowance of banquet facilities with live
entertainment would allow another commercial use similar to those currently
allowed within the center. Further, consistency would be ensured through the
�J review and issuance of a conditional use permit.
4. The proposed Land Use Code amendment is reasonable and beneficial at this time
because it encourages orderly development and requires banquet facilities with
live entertainment to be processed through a conditional use permit allowing
adequate review of potential impacts to surrounding areas. Furthermore, the
proposed use conforms to the intent of the development code and is consistent
with the intent to "realize the economic, social, and aesthetic advantages of
combining different types of land uses in a coordinated community design."

Community CDP 78-01 through Code Amendment 17-007, and bearing the file number
