AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN
FOR THE CENTRAL R DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
PER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT 86-1
INTRODUCTION
The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Juan
Capistrano previously received a preliminary plan for the
Central Redevelopment Project. A redevelopment plan was
subsequently approved by Ordinance No. 488 on July 12,
1983. The plan was subsequently amended by Ordinance No.
509 on May 15, 1984, and by Ordinance No. 547 on July 16,
1985.
The new Redevelopment Plan Amendment under consideration
would include this Amended Preliminary Plan, which isLto be
effective for both the existing Project Area as well as the
area being proposed for addition ("the Added Area"). The
resulting total area is referred to as the "Amended Project
Area."
It is intended that this amended Preliminary Plan will
provide direction for the Redevelopment Agency in the
development of methods and procedures to satisfy the needs
of its residents and business people in the development of
viable and active land uses proposed to be included within
the Central Redevelopment Project.
The goal of the Redevelopment Plan Amendment is to assist
in the provision of public improvements and infrastructure
to permit reasonable utilization of the added area. The
overall goal of this Amended Preliminary Plan is to assist
in the replanning or redesign of redevelopment areas which
are presently stagnant or improperly utilized because of
inadequate circulation design or faulty lot layout in
relation to size, shape, accessibility, or usefulness. The
plan proposes to arrest economic dislocation within the
Project Area through the restoration and revitalization of
existing uses and the development of new uses.
The Amended Preliminary Plan outlines the circumstances
which have created the blighting conditions within the
expanded Project Area which are preventing the area from
achieving its full potential. It explores the ways to
protect and enhance the environment and focuses on means to
redevelop the stagnating and blighted areas in such a way
as to stimulate and attract private investment, thereby
improving the City's economic health, employment opportuni-
ties, and tax base.

I1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE AMENDED PROJECT AREA
The boundaries of the proposed Amended Central Redevelop-
ment Project Area (including the existing Project Area and
the Added Area, which shall collectively constitute the
"Amended Area") are illustrated on the map attached hereto
as Exhibit 1-A.
III. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAND USES
As a basis for the redevelopment of the area proposed to be
added to the Central Redevelopment Project, it is proposed
that the property be designated "SS," Special Study Area,
on the City General Plan in order to allow for detailed
study of appropriate land uses and site design for the
Added Area.
Uses shown for the Project Area as a whole shall remain as
shown on the General Plan. These uses include residential,
commercial, industrial, public institutional, recreation,
and open space classifications.
IV. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED LAYOUT OF PRINCIPAL STREETS
As a basis for the redeVelopment of the proposed amended
area, it is proposed that, in general, the layout of prin-
cipal streets in the Amended Project Area be as shown on
the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan. How-
ever, existing streets within the Amended Project Area may
be closed, widened, or otherwise modified, and additional
streets may be created for proper pedestrian and/or
vehicular circulation.
V. GENERAL STATEMENT/POPULATION
Residential uses are not permitted in the Added Area per
the City's General Plan. Since this amendment does not
propose a change to residential land use, there will be no
resulting changes in housing or population.
Within the overall Amended Project Area, population shall
reflect density of development in conformity with the
City's General Plan.

EXHIBIT 1 (continued) 2 3
VI. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING INTENSITIES
As a basis for the redevelopment of the Amended Project
Area, it is proposed that, in general, the building
intensity be controlled by some or all of the following
limitations:
A. A maximum percentage of ground area covered by build-
ings (land coverage) and/or a minimum percentage of
open area on each site.
B. The ratio of total floor area for all stories of the
buildings to areas of the building sites (floor area
ratio).
C. The size and location of the buildable areas on
building sites.
D. The heights of buildings.
The land coverage and sizes and location of buildable areas
should be limited as feasible to provide adequate open
spaces. The limits on building intensity shall be estab-
lished in accordance with the limits contained in the Land
Use Code and General Plan of the City.
VII. GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING STANDARDS
It is proposed that, in general, the building standards
should conform to the building requirements of applicable
state statutes and the City of San Juan Capistrano
Municipal Code.
VIII. ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW
The redevelopment of the Project Area, as amended to
include the added area, would attain the purposes of the
Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California.
The Amended Project Area is badly in need of, and particu-
larly suitable for, redevelopment under the provisions of
the California Redevelopment statutes.
The proposed Added Area continues to experience a complete
lack of productive utilization. The inclusion of the Added
Area to the project will assist in the resolution of this
problem by helping to provide the needed improvements and
infrastructure necessary for reasonable utilization.

IX.
EXHIBIT 1 (continued)
The Project Area as a whole exhibits blighting influences
due to the lack of adequate public improvements, public
facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be
remedied by private or governmental action without
redevelopment.
Benefits will accrue to the property owners within the
Amended Project Area, as well as to the residents and
taxpayers of the City at large, if the Amended Area is
redeveloped.
Redevelopment of the overall Amended Project Area would be
attained through the following:
A. The comprehensive planning, redesign, replanning,
development, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of the
area, which would facilitate a higher and better utili-
zation of the lands within the Project Area, thereby
contributing to the public health, safety, and
welfare.
B. Stimulating construction activity and increasing
employment in the commercial and office segments of the
community.
C. Assisting in the financing, reconstruction, and/or
construction of curbs,'gutters, sidewalks, street flood
control improvements, and other public facilities.
D. The attraction of land uses to stagnant, unproductive
areas, including the recycling of land uses into viable
productive uses consistent with the City's General
Plan.
E. Assisting the development of private and public con-
struction by financing such development in the Amended
Project Area in such a way which will make the develop-
ment economically feasible.
F. Assisting county, and state agencies' abilities to
provide services by street and parking improvements and
other public facilities.
CONFORMANCE TO THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY
The Preliminary Plan conforms to the City of San Juan
Capistrano General Plan. The Preliminary Plan proposes a
similar pattern of land uses and includes all highways and
public facilities indicated by the General Plan.

EXHIBIT 1 (continued)
IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT
25
The impacts upon residents near the Added Area will consist
of construction noise and dust during development, and then
noise, visual, and circulation impacts after development in
commercial use. These impacts will be mitigated by control
of construction hours, dust control, landscape screening,
and control of the operation of the developed use. A
detailed list of measures to mitigate the impacts of
development within the Added Area will .be provided in the
Environmental Impact Report required for the Redevelopment
Plan Amendment.
The impact of the overall Central Redevelopment Project
upon the surrounding neighborhoods within or near the
Project Area will, in general, be minimal. There may be
impacts upon the public in general in the areas of traffic
circulation, public facilities and services, parking,
environmental quality, employment opportunities, and
economic development. Traffic impacts will be mitigated by
circulation improvements required in conjunction with the
redevelopment project.
It is anticipated that direct Agency activity will occur
only when sufficient financial resources are available and
such action will praduce effective and immediate
redevelopment results. Thus, the redevelopment project is
intended to be phased, with a limited scope of direct
activity at any given time. This subject will be discussed
in depth by the Redevelopment Agency in the Report to
Council which will accompany the proposed Redevelopment
Plan for the Amended Area.
