landscaping for the proposed Lots are consistent with the adopted
Architectural Design Guidelines of the City because the project has been
designed to incorporate architecture which relies on the use of varied roof
lines, varied building massing, side entry garages, courtyards, loggias,varied
color palettes and materials consistent with eclectic style encouraged for
single family residential neighborhoods;

private drive with gated access at Del Obispo Street which allows for safe
traffic access and flow consistent with Public Facility Standards maintained
by the Public Works & Utilities Department;

INTRODUCTION
The City of San Juan Capistrano (City) has adopted this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP) in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Statute (Public Resources
Code§21081.6) and Section 15097 of the CEQA Guidelines. This MMRP is designed to ensure that the
mitigation measures outlined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)for the Tentative Tract Map No.
17655(TTM 17655 or Project)are implemented.
This MMRP describes the implementation and mitigation requirements for each mitigation measure
Identified in the MND for the Project. The MMRP provides each mitigation measure, the timing of
Implementation, the actions indicating compliance, the monitoring agency, and allows for the signature by
a representative of the monitoring agency to verify compliance. Specifically, the MMRP provides the
following information.
Mitigation Measures: Each mitigation measure (MM)outlined in the MND for the Project and adopted by
the City is provided.
Timing of Implementation: The appropriate time for the implementation of the mitigation measures (i.e.
pre-construction,during construction, or post-construction)is specified.
Actions Indicating Compliance: Specifies the mean by which the monitoring agency will verify that the
mitigation measure has been appropriately implemented.
Monitoring Agency: Lists the implementing party or the party responsible for directly implementing the 1
mitigation measures, monitoring,and reporting (as applicable).
The MMRP also provides a column for documenting compliance with the date and signature of the
