WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly-noticed public hearing on

WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a duly-noticed public hearing on December
16, 2008 pursuant to the provisions of Section 9-2.335 of the Title 9, Land Use Code,
Administrative Policy 409, and Planning Department Policy 5'10 to consider public testimony.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Juan
Capistrano does hereby make the following findings:
1. The properties subject to subdivision and augmentation of lot lines are located
in the "2.0-Very Low Density Residential (0-1 du/acre)" General Plan Land Use
designation. The General Plan maximum density is 0-1 du/acre, with an average of 1
dwelling unit per acre. The proposed subdivision would split an existing undeveloped
2.232 acre lot into two 1 acre parcels and altering an existing lot line to add 10,105
square feet to the adjacent developed 1.0877 acre parcel. The result of the
Page 1 of 3 12-16-2008
the subdivision would create two one acre parcels which do not exceed the maximum
density permitted within the "2,0-Very Low Density Residential (0-1 du/acre)"
designation. Further the addition of approximately 10,105 square feet to the existing
1.0877 acre parcel would not result in a parcel which exceeds the permitted maximum
density. Because the proposed map does not exceed the maximum density permitted
within the "2.0-Very Low Density Residential (0-1 du/acre)" and the proposed
subdivision is consistent with adjacent and neighboring lots it is found to be consistent
with the General Plan.
2. The proposed map does not consist of any improvements to the land. The
applicant has suggested that in the future the subdivided sites would be developed as
single family dwellings, which would be consistent with the existing residential
character of the neighborhood. The site is adequately served by all utilities and has
appropriate vehicle access. Therefore the proposed design of the subdivision is
consistent with the General Plan.
3. As previously stated no development is proposed at this time. The sites would
potentially be developed as single family dwellings, however not at this time. The
topography of the land is relatively flat, is adequately served by utilities and has
appropriate access. While no development is proposed, the site would be physically
suitable for the permitted uses of residential dwellings and therefore is consistent with
this finding.
4. As previously discussed the parcels to be affected by this subdivision are
located within the "2.0-Very Low Density Residential (0-1 du/acre)" General Plan
designation. The General Plan maximum density is 0-1 du/acre, with an average of 1
dwelling unit per acre. The proposed map would create two one acre parcels and add
10,'105 square feet to the adjacent developed 1.0877 acre parcel. These densities are
in line with the General Plan's requirements. The proposed density would not result in
a change to neighborhoods character and proposes densities consistent with other
development in the adjacent community. Therefore the proposed subdivision is
physically suitable for the proposed density.
5. There are no fish or wildlife habitats adjacent or within proximity to the
proposed subdivision. Further no new development is proposed at this time. Due to
the lack of habitat adjacent or within proximity to the subject parcels, the proposed
subdivision would not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
6. The proposed subdivision will not cause serious public health problems
because the subdivision will create an additional lot which is consistent with the other
residential uses adjacent to the site. Therefore it is not anticipated that the proposed
subdivision would result in serious health problems.
7. The proposed subdivision has several public easements that are a part of the
current property. The subdivision would not result in a conflict with these easements
Page 2 of 3 12-16-2008
as they would remain in place. Further the Municipal Code establishes that
improvements could not be placed in easement areas, therefore any future proposed
improvements would not be able to block access through the property. Therefore
there is no conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through,
or the use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
8. The proposed subdivision is situated in a previously developed residential
community. In review of the General Plan Cultural Resources Element Figure CR1
Locations of Historic Buildings and Structures this site is not identified on the map.
Further in review of the General Plan Cultural Resources Element Figure CR2
Locations of Prehistoric and Historic Archaeological Resources, this site is not located
within the specified areas. Due to the subdivision not having direct impacts on existing
historic sites and not being located within the General Plan identified areas of
Prehistoric and Historic Archaeological resources it is determined to not interfere with
the maintenance or preservation of an historic site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby
approves the proposed project subject to the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit A,
attached hereto and incorporated herein.
PASSED, APPROV . AND ADOPTED this 16#x' day of December, 2008.
