Resolution Number 92-1-7-6245
RESOLUTION NO. 92-1-7-6
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, INITIATING CONSIDERATION
OF A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE AND
PUBLIC FACILITY ELEMENTS REGARDING PUBLIC AND
INSTITUTIONAL SITE DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
FORSTER CANYON PLANNED COMMUNITY (SAN JUAN CREEK
ASSOCIATES/SAN JUAN MEADOWS)
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a Land Use Element to the General Plan
which establishes specific policies and objectives for the development of the Forster
Canyon Planned Community, specifically with regards to the dedication of public use
sites; and,
WHEREAS, San Juan Creek Associates, project proponents for the San Juan
Meadows project, have requested that the City Council initiate a General Plan
Amendment to the Land Use and Public Facility Elements regarding dedication of an
8 -acre public use site and consideration of additional public uses for such property; and,
WHEREAS, the Pacific Point/TMC project has been designed and approved to
provide for the reservation of a potential public school site within the "country
residential" component of the Pacific Point Planned Community consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Map designation; and,
WHEREAS, Section 9-2.102(a) of the Municipal Code grants sole authority to
the City Council to initiate any amendment to the City's General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
San Juan Capistrano does hereby find as follows:
1. Local land use circumstances have changed significantly since the
General Plan's Land Use Element and Public Facility Elements were
revised in 1982 regarding the Forster Canyon Planned Community.
Specifically, the Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) has
established specific facility design standards and the presently -proposed
location for the public school site does not meet minimum facility
planning standards. A school site situated at any location on the "Mesa"
tract would not meet the minimum landfill setback requirements.
2. The recently -approved Pacific Point/TMC project includes a provision
for reserving a portion of land for future dedication/conveyance to the
School District for public school purposes.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment possesses merit in that it could
potentially address affordable housing needs in the community and would
provide the City with the opportunity to re-examine long-term public
se
�!46
facility requirements and determine whether the senior housing is a more
compelling public objective.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Juan
Capistrano does hereby initiate consideration of a General Plan Amendment regarding
the Land Use Element and the Public Facility Element provisions for the Forster Canyon
Planned Community.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this
of January , 1992.
