General Plan Amendment 92-01
1. The proposed amendment to the General Plan, is consistent with all
the elements of the General Plan.
2. The subsequent development of the property under the proposed
General Plan Amendment will conform to the development
standards and other applicable provisions of Title 9 of the City
Municipal Code (Land Use).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
San Juan Capistrano does hereby take the following actions regarding General Plan
Amendment 92-01:
1. Certification of the Environmental Impact Report based upon a finding
that the document, including responses to comments, and a record of
public hearings, adequately addresses the impacts of the project.
2. That the General Plan not be amended to delete the requirement for a
dedicated Public/Institutional site.
3. That the General Plan Amendment be approved with the following
changes:
a. Add the following to the text of the Land Use Element on page 23
after the fifth paragraph under the heading "Forster Canyon
Planned Community".
There are a range of uses that would be appropriate for a Public
Institutional Site on this project, and the merits of a senior housing
project are also recognized. The City will receive dedication of
the 8.5 acres, which shall be designated Public/Institutional and is
located on the north side of La Novia Avenue. This location shall
become the dedicated Public/Institutional site, and the originally
-2-
designated Public/Institutional site adjacent to the landfill shall be
re -designated as a location for senior housing. This dedication shall
not be considered as fulfilling any other requirements for
dedications, fee credits, etc. that apply to the project.
Land use designations for the Mesa have been changed as a part of
General Plan Amendment 92-01. These changes are the result of
an updated assignment of development potential to these
development areas based on the most current information regarding
land fill closure requirements and circulation needs. The intent of
the 1.4 and 1.5 residential designations is to allocate the maximum
unit count of 275 units within the Mesa portion of the Forster
Canyon Planned Community, providing for a maximum of 120 units
in the 1.5 designated area and a cumulative total of 155 units in the
two 1.4 designated areas (94 units in the area adjacent to La Novia
and 61 units in the area to the south).
b. Add a new land use designation for Senior Housing by amending the
text and map as follows:
Add the following text to the Land Use Element of the General
Plan (page 16, final paragraph under the heading of Residential
Land Uses ): A special land use designation, 1.7 Senior Housing, has
been added by General Plan Amendment 92-01 for Senior Housing.
This designation recognizes the unique nature of this form of
affordable housing. Senior Housing allowed under this designation
are projects where qualifying elderly live independently, but also
have the benefit of common facilities and amenities tailored to the
special needs of seniors. Because the occupancy factor of such
housing is about one third of conventional housing, dwelling units
per acre can be higher than for conventional land use designations
or zoning without affecting population growth impacts anticipated
in the General Plan. Actual densities and standards for this land
use are to be established by controls made a part of a Planned
Community Comprehensive Development Plan or the adoption of an
amendment to the Land Use Code.
Add to the Legend on the Composite General Plan Map the
following designation: 1.7 Senior Housing
C. Amend the Composite General Plan Map to designate the north side
of La Novia within the project as "5.0 Public and Institutional,"
designate the Senior Housing site on the south side of La Novia as
"1.7 Senior Housing" and designate the "Valley" development area
-3-
of the Forster Canyon Planned Community with "5.2, Future Public
School Sites" as shown on Exhibit 1 attached to this resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 21st day
of July 1992.
