A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN
CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, INITIATING CONSIDERATION OF AN
AMENDMENT TO TITLE 8, CHAPTER 10 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
ENTITLED "SOILS WARRANTY PROGRAM"
WHEREAS, the City adopted Chapter 10 of Title 8 establishing a Soils Warranty
Program that is general in nature and does not provide specific criteria that individual programs are
to contain, nor does it provide definitions on what type of slope subsidence is to be fully covered;
and,
WHEREAS, due to the lack of specifics, each residential subdivider has submitted
various programs that do not contain a continuity of coverage among the various subdivisions that
have been subject to the provisions of the current regulations; and,
WHEREAS, in the last several years it has been determined that the present programs
do not create a funding mechanism that will cover a catastrophic failure; and,
WHEREAS, new methods have become available by recent legislation authorized by
the State of California, that will assist in providing a financial mechanism that will address the issue
of repairing a catastrophic slope failure; and,
' WHEREAS, a modification to the present regulations setting forth specific minimum
requirements that will provide for comprehensive coverage will assist in implementing the intent of
the City in the establishment of this program.
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 Municipal Code to create
a more comprehensive soils warranty program that will address both catastrophic and surficial slope
subsidence events.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that initiation of this amendment shall not be
construed as future approval, it merely creates the opportunity for the issue to be fully discussed after
conducting duly noticed public hearings to receive testimony on the merits of the proposed
amendment prior to a formal action by the City Council.
