RESOLUTION NO. 78-8-16-3
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 78-1 (KING
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN FOR 479+ ACRES LOCATED
ON THE EAST SIDE OF INTERSTATE 5 BETWEEN
FORSTER CANYON ROAD AND CAMINO LAS RAMBLAS
WHEREAS, the City Council, at its regular meeting of
January 4, 1978, initiated a petition submitted by Mr. Chuck King,
26872 Calle Hermosa, Capistrano Beach, California, for
consideration to amend the City's General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the City's Environmental Review Board has
reviewed the petition and determined that it may have a significant
impact on the environment and has caused the preparation of an
environmental impact report which has been reviewed by the
Planning Commission and City Council and found to adequately
address the environmental impacts of the petition; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon reviewing and
receiving testimony at a duly advertised public hearing, has
forwarded a recommendation of approval for General Plan Amendment
78-1; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has conducted a duly advertised
public hearing to receive and review public testimony on the
petition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the General Plan
for the City of San Juan Capistrano, California, is hereby
amended as follows:
1. The General Plan Composite Land Use Map and
Circulation Map are amended as per Exhibit "A",
attached hereto.
2. The Land Use Element is amended to include the
following statement:
"As part of General Plan Amendment 78-1, a specific
study was conducted to analyze the development
impacts and environmental constraints present
within the study area, particularly as it relates
to residential densities and locations. The 2.0
General Open Space areas shown on the Composite
Land Use Map shall be maintained as open space,
the density credit of one dwelling unit per acre
has been taken into consideration in the designated
residential densities and shall therefore not be
used as a credit for calculation of units during
development review. The development potential of
the 2.0 General Open Space designation shall not
exceed one single-family dwelling unit per 5.0
acres. In such a situation, the applicant shall
be required to submit documentation that the
construction of such a dwelling meets all other
applicable requirements of the General Plan and
Land Use Management Code."
"Certain parcels located at the base of the area
known as 'McCracken Hill' (Overton/Bridges and
Kilbride parcels) have been designated SS (Special
Study) in order to provide the individual owners
-1-
340
sufficient time to submit detailed information on
the development potential of each of the parcels
in accordance with applicable policies of the
General Plan and provisions of Ordinance No. 293,
Land Use Management Code. Those portions of said
parcels located within the SS (Special Study)
area shall be rezoned to GM (Growth Management).
Upon submission and approval of any development _
concept said area will be rezoned to SP (Precise
Plan). The SS (Special Study) designation on the
Composite Land Use Map will provide the flexibility
to apply an appropriate development classification
upon submission and review of additional
information without the requirement for a separate
General Plan Amendment."
"The City in considering past development proposals
for the area commonly referred to as 'McCracken
Hill' has identified the need to provide full
public improvements (e.g. streets, sewers, etc.)
to serve the previous residential density.
Although, General Plan Amendment 78-1 reduces the
intensity of ultimate development, the need for
full public improvements is still recognized and
has not been waived by the amendment."
"The Composite Land Use Map provides for the
designation of a 5.0 Public Institutional use in
the general location of the area known as 'Window
Hill'. Said land use designation is not intended
to indicate a specific location but rather to
identify a need for an approximate 8.0+ acre
public facility. The developer, as a condition
of approval on future development proposals, will
be required to dedicate said land to the City for
a future public/institutional use.:'
"The burden to provide public improvements to
serve the area within General Plan Amendment 78-1
shall be the responsibility of the developer.
Said improvements shall include the construction
of the major backbone circulation, sewers, water
transmission lines and other public facilities
required to mitigate adverse environmental impacts
associated with ultimate development of the area.
The scope of said improvements shall be addressed
during preparation of a more precise environmental
evaluation assessment associated with a PC (Planned
Community) District zone change. Furthermore,
the first phase of development shall meet all
City requirements including dual access and
complete construction of the backbone circulation
system."
"The circulation and land use designations for the
area commonly identified as 'Window Hill' have
been determined to be appropriate and consistent
with other policies of the General Plan. This
determination was based upon a grading impact
analysis prepared for General Plan Amendment 78-1.
These exhibits depict the major landform alterations
which would be required to implement the intent
of the General Plan. The major ridgeline mass is
maintained as approximately 450-455 feet (current
elevation is approximately 460 feet). Rounding
and contouring have been used to blend the ridge
and graded areas into a concept similar to a
natural configuration. Route 'D' is aligned to
-2-
341
pass south of the ridgeline such that it will
not be visible from the McCraken Hill area.
Although each concept will require major landform
alteration to correct the existing geologic
situation, particular emphasis has been placed
upon the finished configuration to insure
consistency with the Hillside Management
Regulations. With the implementation of a PC
' (Planned Community) overlay designation on the
General Plan Composite Land Use Map, additional
design constraints and innovative techniques can
be further refined to insure a development
concept consistent with the Hillside Management
Regulations and intent and purposes of the
General Plan. The approved circulation and land
use plans for this area shall not be construed
and/or obligate the City to approve any future
development proposals which are not consistent
with the exhibits prepared for General Plan
Amendment 78-1."
"Alignments shown for Route 'D' and the commuter
road linking McCracken Hill area with the Forster
Canyon area to the north are based on minimum
grading and environmental impacts. Implementation
of other alignments will require evidence that
alternatives will further reduce adverse effects."
"In recognizing the adverse noise impact created
by the location of Interstate 5, the City has
developed a light industrial designation as a
specific land use adjacent to the freeway. The
light industrial category is intended to permit
limited manufacturing and industrial uses which
can be designed in such a manner as to be
compatible with adjacent very low and low
density residential development. Uses permitted
within this land use designation should not be
of a retail or commercial nature. Large single
industries which can occupy approximately 10
acres each without adverse environmental effects
should be developed. Examples are scientific
and research firms, corporate office facilities,
and clean electronic industries."
3. The Bikeway System Map of the Parks and Recreation
Element is amended to include a local City
bikeway which connects Camino Las Ramblas to San
Juan Creek Road as per Exhibit "B", attached hereto.
