9/4/2012
The proposed design alterations to the existing use of the mobile home park are
consistent with the maps and policies of the General Plan because the residential
mobile home park use is not proposed to be changed but rather modified to include
two additional mobile homes.
2. The proposed use and design is consistent with the purpose, intent, and standards
of the Land Use Code because the proposed design alterations to the clubhouse
will complement the existing architectural style and because the new mobile homes
will complement the existing homes with respect to size and location on the
individual spaces.
3. The site for the proposed mobile homes is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate all yards, open spaces, setbacks and parking areas, fire and building
code considerations because the two proposed spaces will provide for designated
parking within the space, setbacks that complement the adjacent spaces, and
building codes will require review and permitting by the City's Building & Safety
Division.
4. The proposed use and the on-going operation of the use are compatible with
abutting properties and the permitted uses thereof, and will not generate excessive
light, noise, vibration, odors, visual blight, traffic, or other disturbances, nuisances,
or hazards because the mobile homes will be designed to complement the existing
homes with respect to color and site area landscape; and because the new laundry
facility will be located within the club house facility building.
5. The site for the proposed use has adequate access and parking to support the use
because the new spaces will be served via existing access streets and 2 parking
spaces are proposed for each space. The club house has existing parking spaces
that will serve the new laundry room.
Section 9-2.313 of the Title 9, Land Use Code establishes the following findings required
for approval of an Architectural Control:
1. The proposed use and design of the project comply with all applicable provisions of
Title 9 of the San Juan Capistrano Municipal Code and any applicable specific plan
or comprehensive development plan because the mobile homes are proposed to be
located on individual spaces, adhere to setbacks as required under the State
Housing and Community Development Departments Title 25, and the alterations to
the interior of the club house will be subject to review and approval of a building
permit.
2. The proposed use and design of the project is consistent with the goals, policies
and objectives of the General Plan, including the Community Design Element
because the project proposes to install new mobile homes to complement the
existing setbacks and development standards for the community and will not result
in a deviation from the design and uses within the mobile home park.
2 9/4/2012
3. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate all yards, open spaces,
setbacks, parking, access, and other features pertaining to the application because
both mobile homes are proposed to adhere to the HCD Title 25 regulations.
4. Although mobile homes are not regulated by the adopted Architectural Design
Guidelines of the City, the proposed mobile homes are designed in character, scale
and quality of the architecture, site design and landscaping consistent with existing
mobile homes located within the park.
5. The site plan provides functional and safe vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access
and circulation because the two new mobile homes will utilize existing streets for
access and pedestrian access is achievable via the street network.
6. The proposed use and design of the project is compatible with surrounding existing
and proposed land uses and community character, including scale, intensity,
massing, architectural design, landscape design, and other development
characteristics because the new mobile home spaces will be designed to HCD Title
25 standards and regulations.
Section 9-2.321 of the Title 9, Land Use Code establishes the following findings required
for approval of a Floodplain Land Use Permit:
1. The application complies with all of the location and land use standards for uses or
structures as set forth in Section 9-3.405 of this Code because the new mobile
homes are proposed to be installed at a grade elevation consistent with the existing
units and with the respective setbacks mandated by HCD Title 25.
2. Approval of the application will not result in a discernible net increase in water
surface elevation, will not create or exacerbate erosive velocities within special flood
hazard areas, and will not contribute to flooding of other properties not previously
inundated by the 100 -year storm event because the new mobile homes will be
installed within the park and will not alter the existing surface elevation of the site.
3. Development and use of the property as proposed are consistent with General Plan
policies regarding flood control, public safety, aesthetics, and resource protection
because the new mobile homes will complement the existing aesthetics of the park
and will utilize the existing vehicular circulation, and existing grade elevations.
4. The proposed use and development of the property are consistent with all other
applicable requirements of the Municipal Code and of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, California Fish and Game Department, United States Army
Corps of Engineers, and Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements in
effect at the time the application was deemed complete.
