WHEREAS, the property owners, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff
Vasquez, are constructing a residence located at 31891 Los Rios
Street; and,
WHEREAS, plans for the residence were conditionally
approved by the Planning Commission on February 26, 1985, in
accordance with the adopted Los Rios Precise Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the property owners submitted a request to
modify the approved building plans on January 20, 1986; and,
WHEREAS, the Los Rios Review Committee considered the
request at their meeting of February 27, 1986, and forwarded a
recommendation to the Planning Commission to deny the proposed
modification; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request
and partially approved the request by allowing the attic area to
be converted to habitable space and denying certain changes to
the exterior elevations, including a gable over a porch, round
window, skylight, and balcony off the attic; and,
WHEREAS, the appellant, Vicki Ryan, 32742 Alipaz
Street, Space 23, San Juan Capistrano, California, appealed the
decision of the Planning Commission to allow conversion of the
attic area to habitable living space; and,
WHEREAS, the property owners subsequently appealed the
decision of the Planning Commission regarding changes to the
exterior building elevations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
does hereby take the following actions on the appeal:
1. Approve the proposed round window in that the Los
Rios Precise Plan requires the restoration of the
structure's authentic architectural details, in
which case the original windows for the residence
were square.

2.
Approve the proposed gable above the front
entrance based upon the finding that Section
3.4.3(B)(2) of the Los Rios Precise Plan states
that there shall be no additions or alterations to
the front of the building that are not in keeping
with the historic character of the structure.
This proposed modification would not be consistent
with the design of the original porch/front
entrance for the building.
3.
Approve the second level balcony based upon the
finding that the exterior elevation changes the
appearance of the originally approved plans.
4.
Approve the interior modifications to convert the
building's existing attic space to a livable loft
area, including a bathroom and large closet.
5.
Confirm the action of the Planning Commission to
approve a proposed deck and stairway, subject to a
reduction in size of the deck and stairway so that
it is in scale with the building and surrounding
residences, said revised plan to be reviewed and
approved by the Director of Community Planning and
Development.
6.
Confirm the action of the Planning Commission to
approve the revision of the proposed
basement -level entrance to the rear elevation as
submitted.
7.
Confirm the action of the Planning Commission to
approve the removal of the retaining wall on the
south side yard and conform to the existing grade
on the left building elevation.
