reduce significant impacts of the Project. Therefore, the Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines section 15097. The
MMRP shall be designed to ensure compliance with mitigation measures during
Project implementation in that changes to the Project and/or mitigation measures
will be incorporated into the Project and fully enforceable through permit
conditions, agreements or other measures.
SECTION 3. LOCATION OF DOCUMENTS. The Final EIR and Project-related
documents are on file and available for public review at San Juan Capistrano City Hall,
32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675. The City Clerk is the custodian
of these documents.
SECTION 4. TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS. After careful consideration of the
agenda report, including its detailed discussion of these findings, and all the other
evidence that was presented in connection with this Project, the Planning Commission of
the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings as required by
Section 9-4.223, Findings for approval of tentative maps, of Title 9, Land Use Code of the
City of San Juan Capistrano:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and the applicable specific
plan and comprehensive development plan because the land uses proposed are
allowed within the Ortega Planned Community, Comprehensive Development Plan
78-1, Sector B-3, and under the current General Plan land use designation of
Planned Community and the Project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Development Plan and General Plan goals, policies, and standards as discussed
above in connection with the Planning Commission's approvals for the Project.
Additionally, the project is not located within a specific plan area; and,
2. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
General Plan and the applicable comprehensive development plan because the
proposed subdivision has been designed to accommodate the Project, and the
Project design itself is consistent with those policy and regulatory documents, The
proposed project would establish a 132-unit residential community and has been
designed to meet all applicable development standards and provisions of Title 9 of
the San Juan Capistrano Municipal code including lot coverages, setbacks, height
requirements, use regulations, and affordable housing requirements which allow
for concessions and waivers to standards such as setbacks, floor to floor ratio, and
RV parking requirements. Furthermore, the project's character, scale and quality
of the architecture, site design and landscaping are consistent with the adopted
Design Guidelines of the City because the project incorporates materials and
colors consistent with the approved structures and signage on properties
surrounding the site along Calle Arroyo and similar residential uses located within
the City of San Juan Capistrano; and,
3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development because the General
Plan land use designation would allow for the development with a density of up to
61147.80018\32994672.1
PC Resolution 20-06-09-01 4 June 9 2020
30 dwelling units per acre the applicant is proposing to develop individual parcels
with a density of up to 14.6 dwelling units per acre. The project is an infill,
previously graded, largely unused site, with convenient access to Calle Arroyo and
located to provide a well-designed buffer between the proposed residential
development and the adjacent creek and commercial area. Furthermore, the
Ortega Planned Community, Comprehensive Development Plan 78-1, Sector B-3
would allow residential uses; and,
4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed intensity of development because
the existing topography and infrastructure provides suitable conditions sufficient to
accommodate the proposed improvements. Located generally along the same
grade as Calle Arroyo, the site is relatively flat and large enough to accommodate
the uses and development proposed. Additionally, the site will be served by
existing or extension of utilities from adjacent sources; and,
5. The design of the subdivision for the proposed improvements is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat because the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) includes
an assessment of the Project's potentially significant biological resource impacts
and concludes the Project's impacts to such resources would be sufficiently
mitigated through the proposed mitigation measures established by the Mitigation
Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP); and,
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision because the Project proposes to honor or extend
all public easements.
SECTION 6. FLOODPLAIN LAND USE PERMIT FINDINGS. After careful
consideration of the agenda report, including its detailed discussion of these findings, and
all the other evidence that was presented in connection with this Project, the Planning
Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings
as required by Subsection (e) of Section 9-2.321, Floodplain land use permit, of Title 9,
Land Use Code of the City of San Juan Capistrano:
1. The application complies with all the location and land use standards for uses or
structures as set forth in Section 9-3.405 of the Land Use Code because the site will
be graded to elevate the proposed buildings above the 100-year floodplain elevation,
and the applicant will pursue a CLOMAR and LOMAR or a CLOMR-F and LOMR-F
through the Federal Emergency Management Agency to adjust the FIRM Maps to
reflect current and proposed grades.
2. Approval of the application will not result in a discernible net increase in water surface
elevation, will not create or exacerbate erosive velocities within special flood hazard
areas, and will not contribute to flooding of other properties not previously inundated
by the 100-year storm event because in order to raise the existing grades above the
100-year floodplain elevation, the Project proposes to fill portions of the site with
61147.80018\32994672.1
PC Resolution 20-06-09-01 5 June 9 2020
approximately 17,950 cubic yards of import soil to raise levels one foot above the Base
Flood Elevation. Although the Project site is within a 100-year floodplain, the proposed
Project includes a Water Quality Management Plan specifying that proposed buildings
would be elevated above flood depths anticipated for site development well as plans
to process a CLOMAR and LOMAR or a CLOMR-F and LOMR-F through the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to adjust the FIRM Maps to reflect current and
proposed grades.
3. Development and use of the property as proposed are consistent with General Plan
policies regarding flood control, public safety, aesthetics, and resource protection
because the proposed Project will complement the existing aesthetics of the area and
existing grade elevations of the adjacent properties, while consistent with the following
General Plan Goals and Policies:
Land Use Element, Policy 3.2: Limit density of development in the hillsides,
floodplains, and other high-risk areas. The project is designed below the maximum
density of 30 dwelling units per acre.
Conservation and Open Space Element, Policy 5.2: Ensure that new development
integrates and preserves areas designated for scenic, historic, conservation, or public
safety reasons. The project has been designed to elevate proposed buildings above
the 100-year floodplain elevation and integrate an existing City trail along San Juan
Creek.
Floodplain Management Element, Goal 1: Protect life and property from floodwaters.
The development of the site will assist in managing floodwaters from the public by
raising the site above the 100-year plain elevation and providing best practices
methods to collect and appropriately discharge runoff into the creek.
4. The proposed use and development of the property are consistent with all other
applicable requirements of the Municipal Code and of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, California Fish and Game Department, United States Army
Corps of Engineers, and Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements in effect
at the time the application was deemed complete. The project is designed in
compliance with Title 9, Land Use Code for new development projects. The proposed
project is consistent with all other applicable requirements of the Municipal Code,
California Fish and Wildlife Department, United States Army Corps of Engineers, and
Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements in effect at the time the application
was deemed complete. Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the applicant
is conditioned to demonstrate that the proposed project complies with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
SECTION 6. ACTIONS. The Planning Commission of the City of San Juan
Capistrano hereby recommends that the City Council approve Tentative Tract Map (TTM)
20-001 and Floodplain Land Use Permit (FP) 18-001 for the Project, subject to the
