GRADING PLAN MODIFICATION (GPM) 22-030
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN
CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA APPROVING OF GRADING PLAN MODIFICATION
(GPM) 22-030 AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO SECTION
15303(APPLICANT: MOHAMMAD MATAR)
Whereas, Mohammad Matar, 25951 El Segundo, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
(the "Applicant"), has requested approval of Grading Plan Modification (GPM) 22-030 to
modify the grade on an existing vacant parcel to accommodate a new single-family
residence and related accessory structures (the "Project") at 27921 Golden Ridge Lane
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 (APN 650-581-16) (the "Property"). The proposed
grading activities involve 1,770 cubic yards of cut and 2,250 cubic yards of fill and a series
of retaining walls up to 8' in height; and,
Whereas, the Property, generally south of Golden Ridge Lane, has a
General Plan Land Use Designation of Very Low Density and a Zoning Designation of
RSE-40,000/SP84-01A; and,
Whereas, Mohammad Matar is owner in fee of the Property; and,
Whereas, the proposed Project at the Property has been processed
pursuant to Section 9-2.301, Development Review of the Land Use Code; and,
Whereas, the City's Environmental Administrator has determined that the
project is categorically exempt from further review under the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures. Here, the entire Project is exempt under Section 15303
because it involves the construction of one single-family residence and related accessory
structures. Lastly, no exceptions to the exemption apply because there would not be any
potential significant effects on the environment due to unusual circumstances. If the
Project receives final approval, a Notice of Exemption would be filed with the County
Recorder's Office within 5 days of such approval; and,
Whereas, the Planning Commission conducted a duly-noticed public
hearing on September 13, 2023, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9-2.302. The
Planning Commission has considered all public testimony on the proposed Project and
all relevant public comments and all documents and evidence submitted, including but
not limited to the staff report, attachments, and materials submitted by the Applicant; and,
Whereas, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
PC Resolution 23-09-13-01 2 September 13, 2023
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of
the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby find that the entire Project is Categorically
Exempt from further review under CEQA per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Here, the entire Project is exempt per
Section 15303 because the project involves the construction of one single-family
residence and related accessory structures. Specifically, the Project include the following
qualifying Class 3 exemptions:
• One single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone; and
• Accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming
pools, and fences.
Lastly, none of the exceptions to the exemptions in State CEQA
Guidelines, section 15300.2, apply. Specifically, the project:
a. Is not located in a particularly sensitive environment. The site is in the center of an
existing residential neighborhood where nearly every surrounding lot has been
developed.
b. Once the sign is constructed, there is no possibility of a cumulative impact of the
same type of project in the same place over time. The project involves the
construction of a single monument sign for an existing single family residential
neighborhood. Once the sign is installed, the likelihood of a successive project
(i.e., tear down and rebuild) on this site is low and probability of a cumulative impact
is low.
c. Is not marked by unusual circumstances. There is nothing unusual about the
installation of a monument sign for a residential subdivision.
d. Would not damage scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic
buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially
designated as a state scenic highway.
e. Is not located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section
65962.5 of the Government Code.
The Planning Commission hereby directs staff to prepare, execute and file a Notice of
Exemption within five (5) working days of the Project's passage and adoption of this
Resolution, further described herein below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning
Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings
as established by Subsection (f) of Section 9-2.323, Grading Plan Review and
Modification of Title 9, Land Use Code of the City of San Juan Capistrano with respect to
Grading Plan Modification (GPM) 22-030, subject to the conditions of approval identified
in Exhibit A attached to this Resolution and incorporated herein by reference:
1. The proposed grading modifications are consistent with the General Plan, Land
Use Code, Specific Plan 84-01A for Hunt Club II, and Design Guidelines because
the project does not change the use, intensity, or density allowed for the project
site, which permits the development of single-family residential structures.
PC Resolution 23-09-13-01 3 September 13, 2023
Furthermore, the project has been designed to maintain natural landform grading
where possible, follows the natural conjures of the land through a stepped
development, minimizes the heights of all proposed retaining walls by adding tiers,
where possible, and providing an extensive landscape plan which ensures all
graded slopes can be secured from erosion as well as significant retaining walls
being screened from visibility.
2. The proposed grading modifications are generally consistent with the original
rough grading of the site because the overall site topography would not be
significantly altered from the original development, which was subdivided in 1988
through Tract No. 11753.
3. The proposed grading would remain consistent and compatible with adjacent lots,
including maintaining the existing slopes along the adjacent property boundaries
and a design which maintains to the greatest extent the natural contours of the
property and surrounding lots as shown on the plans, and do not affect the overall
topography of adjacent properties.
4. The proposed modified grading plan identifies the footprint of the proposed future
structures. The proposed improvements would meet all requirements as defined
in the applicable Single-Family 40,000 (RSE-40,000)/SP84-01A zoning district
development standards, including all other minimum setbacks for building and
minimum setbacks from the tops and toes of slopes as defined by Section 9-4.513
and SP84-01A.
5. The proposed grading modification would not cause adverse impacts to other
properties, including but not limited potential impacts on hydrology, water quality,
views, trail easements, or other aspects of development. The proposed grade
change is subject to Plan Check review by the City's Engineering Department; prior
to issuance of a grading or building permit, the Applicant must demonstrate, to the
satisfaction of the Public Works Director, or their designee, that the proposed
grading would not result in any negative impacts to hydrology and water quality as
required by local and state laws. Lastly, the grading modification would not impact
views or trail easements because the grading and retaining walls are proposed to
be substantially screened from visibility by the proposed residential structures and
substantial landscaping, and the grading does not encroach or alter any trail
system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning
Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby approves the Project subject to
those conditions of approval established by Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated
herein.
CUSTODIAN OF RECORDS: The documents and materials associated
with this Resolution that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings are
based are located at San Juan Capistrano City Hall, 32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan
Capistrano, California 92675. The Development Services Director is the custodian of
records for the record of proceedings.
