RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 93-9-7-10
WHEREAS, the applicants, Lorna Ross and John Hankey, 9152 Loma Street, Villa Park,
California 92667, have submitted an application requesting approval for a Demolition Permit or relocation of
the Hankey Cottage located at 28232 Ortega Highway as part of an application for Tentative Parcel Map 92-107
to subdivide an approximately one -acre parcel into four separate parcels; and,
WHEREAS, the "Hankey/Rowse Cottage" is listed on the City's Inventory of Cultural and
Historic Landmarks based on its architectural and historical importance to the community and has been
determined to be potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places; and,
WHEREAS, this project has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined by the City's Environmental Review Board to require the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report to determine whether there will be a significant impact to the
environment if the cottage is demolished. It was determined that the demolition of the cottage would result in
potentially significant impacts, and mitigation measures to reduce those impacts were identified. On July 6, 1993,
the Cultural Heritage Commission certified the Environmental Impact Report; and,
WHEREAS, the Cultural Heritage Commission, at their July 6, 1993, meeting, denied the
application for a demolition permit (Cultural Heritage Commission Resolution 93-7-6-1) for the Hankey Cottage
due to its historic and architectural significance and recommended three alternatives to its demolition; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant subsequently appealed the Cultural Heritage Commission's denial
of the demolition permit to the City Council. On August 17, 1993, the City Council reviewed the proposed
project, held a duly -noticed public hearing, and continued the public hearing to September 7, 1993; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93-9-7-10 on September 7, 1993,
conditionally approving the demolition permit; and,
WHEREAS, subsequent to the City Council's adoption and signing of Resolution No. 93.9-7.10,
the applicant requested a change to the language to reflect that the demolition permit is at the option of the
property owner.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Juan
Capistrano does hereby find and determine that:
1. The adoption of this resolution rescinds the previously -adopted City Council Resolution
No. 93-9-7-10.
2. Compelling the applicants to preserve the house could cause a financial hardship for
them.
