Resolution Number 14-06-19-01 RESOLUTION NO. 14-06-19-01
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN
CAPISTRANO INITIATING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT STUDY TO
CONSIDER ESTABLISHING THE HISTORIC TOWN CENTER LAND USE
DESIGNATION AND CLASSIFICATION FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
WHEREAS, Municipal Code Section 9-2.307 requires that the City Council
initiate consideration of all General Plan Amendments; and
WHEREAS, there is a discrepancy between the intent of the HTC Master
Plan adopted in 2012; and
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution 12-04-03-02 amended the narrative
description of the "Historic Town Center Master Plan Area" to reflect the Master
Plan update process and it amended General Plan Figure LU-4 that defines the
boundaries of the Historic Town Center; and
WHEREAS, on pages 2 and 3 of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan, the Historic Town Center is identified as a "Related Plan and Policy"- not a
specific land use classification; and
WHEREAS, the prevailing General Plan Land Use Designation for the
Historic Town Center remains General Commercial; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan's General Commercial Land Use Designation
does not allow for residential uses; and
WHEREAS, the apparent intent of the Historic Town Center Master Plan
appears to allow for the potential development of residential uses, but as currently
adopted the General Plan Land Use Policy Map and Land Use Classification Table
prohibit residential uses within the General Commercial Land Use Designation.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
San Juan Capistrano hereby initiates a General Plan Amendment Study for the
Historic Town Center Master Plan area and refers the matter to staff for analysis
and to the Planning Commission for a recommendation.
