WHEREAS, Capistrano Valley Golf L.P. requests that the City Council initiate an
amendment to the General Plan Land Use Element by amending the designation of an
approximately 10.9 acre parcel located along the north side of San Juan Creek Road to
the east of Chateau San Juan. More specifically, the applicant requests that the City
amend the General Plan Land Use Element designation from "1.1, Open Space

Land Use Code grants the City Council sole authority to initiate consideration of General
Plan Amendments; and,

planning study and is expressly exempt from review under the provisions of California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and,
WHEREAS, the proposed project provides the City with an opportunity to further
implement the City's affordable housing objectives by providing a "senior affordable
housing" component as part of the City's density bonus provisions (§9-3.505, Affordable
housing requirements); and,
WHEREAS, the proposed project requests a lease of vacant, unimproved public
land that represents a unique opportunity for the City to create a revenue source to fund
planned park facility improvements and related capital improvements on existing
planned public park land while also maintaining a recreational open space use on the
leased parcel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San
Juan Capistrano does hereby initiate consideration of an amendment to the General
Plan Land Use Element subject to the following:
