RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO DECLARING ITS INTENT TO
ESTABLISH COMMUNITY GROWTH POLICY AND TO CREATE
A COMMITTEE ON THE IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, there is a continuing concern among the City Council
and many other citizens of San Juan Capistrano that rapid growth,
technological change, and the mounting burden of property taxes create
pressures which are both detrimental to effective planning and divisive
of groups within the community; and
WHEREAS, the City Council continues to believe that master
planning is an important factor in achieving the present and future
welfare of the citizens of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Council further believes that all master plans
should be dynamic instruments, subject to periodic review and updating
based: on the City's past experience, on the present and future needs
of its citizens, on recent developments in technology, and on modern
planning concepts and techniques; and
WHEREAS, the Council continues to seek ways to utilize the
many talents of its citizenry by involving them in the decision-making
process.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
1. That an additional full-time staff member with background
in urban economics be hired for the Planning Department as soon as
possible, using reserve funds if PEP funds are not available;
That as soon as the person assigned to this new position
is oriented, one of his duties should be an analysis of the cost of
extending City services in relation to the income to the City for
various types of development.
That further planning staff needs which may arise in the
near future be met by some other means than permanent staff.
2. That the Planning Commission be directed to give priority
consideration to an updating of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan.
3, That the City attempt to get written confirmation of the
nature and status of any improvements planned for the Ortega Highway,
4. That the Council delay any hearings on zoning or annex-
ation until after the voters of the City have had a chance to voice
their wishes on Council composition and the establishments of a parks
program at the April 11, 1972 municipal election.
5. That the City Council create a Committee on the Impact
of Development.
6. That the Council requests that all citizens of San Juan
Capistrano recognize the need for a balanced community, and that they
work with the Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups to strengthen

required by the residents of the City.
