Introduction
On February 1, 2012, the San Juan Capistrano Community Redevelopment Agency
(Redevelopment Agency) was statutorily dissolved under ABx1 26. On January 10, 2012, the San
Juan Capistrano City Council took the steps to designate the City of San Juan Capistrano as the
Successor Agency to the San Juan Capistrano Community Redevelopment Agency’s (Successor
Agency) pursuant to section 34173 of the Health and Safety Code, and the former
Redevelopment Agency assets were transferred to the Community Redevelopment Property
Trust Fund held by the Successor Agency on February 1, 2012.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34191.5, within six month after receiving a Finding of
Completion from the Department of Finance (DOF), the Successor Agency is required to submit
for approval to its Oversight Board and the DOF a Long Range Property Management Plan
(LRPMP) that addresses the disposition and use of the real property assets of the former
Redevelopment Agency. The Successor Agency’s Finding of Completion was issued on November
8, 2013.
The Successor Agency prepared and submitted to the Oversight Board an LRPMP, which LRPMP
was subsequently transmitted to DOF and which was reviewed and approved by DOF as
evidenced by a letter dated as of January 16, 2015, by Justyn Howard, Acting Program Budget
Manager of DOF, to Ms. Cindy Russell, Chief Finance Officer of the City. The form of LRPMP as so
submitted and approved is referred to herein as the “Original LRPMP.” The properties included
within the Original LRPMP included several properties formerly owned by the Agency and which
have been used as public parking lots. Such public parking lots were listed in the Original LRPMP
as: Site 4, Site 5, Site 6 and Site 7, respectively (and so referred to herein). The transfer to the
City of Sites 1 through 3 was approved by the Successor Agency, Oversight Board and DOF in
connection with the approvals of the Original LRPMP. Successor Agency staff has recently
determined that there are two additional properties with respect to which the Redevelopment
Agency had and the Successor Agency now holds an easement for public parking purposes; the
easement interests in such properties are referred to as Site 10 and Site 11, respectively.
At the time the Original LRPMP was approved, the position of DOF was that public parking lots
owned by redevelopment agencies would not be treated as governmental use properties for
purposes of provisions of the Dissolution Act which provided that governmental use properties
were eligible for transfer from successor agencies to host cities without payment of
compensation therefor. Subsequent legislation has been enacted in the form of Senate Bill No.
107, Chapter 325, Statutes of 2015 (“SB 107”) which provides, at subsections (b) and (c) of
Section 34191.3, in pertinent part:
(b) If the department has approved a successor agency’s long-range property
management plan prior to January 1, 2016, the successor agency may amend its long-
range property management plan once, solely to allow for retention of real properties

that constitute “parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking” for
governmental use pursuant to Section 34181. An amendment to a successor agency’s
long-range property management plan under this subdivision shall be submitted to its
oversight board for review and approval pursuant to Section 34179, and any such
amendment shall be submitted to the department prior to July 1, 2016; and
(c) (i) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 34181, for purposes
of amending a successor agency’s long-range property management plan under
subdivision (b), “parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public parking” do not
include properties that, as of the date of transfer pursuant to the amended long-range
property management plan, generate revenues in excess of reasonable maintenance costs
of the properties.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other law, a city, county, city and county, or parking district shall
not be required to reimburse or pay a successor agency for any funds spent on or before
December 31, 2010, by a former redevelopment agency to design and construct a parking
facility.
Sites 4 through 7, 10 and 11 constitute “parking facilities and lots dedicated solely to public
parking”. In the case of Site 8, Site 8 is devoted to other governmental uses (namely, community
theater); Site 8 is planned for public parking. In addition, there are not revenues produced by any
of the Sites 4 through 7; 10 or 11 (collectively, the “Public Parking Properties”) which exceed the
reasonable maintenance costs of such properties. In the case of Site 10 and Site 11, the interest
of the Successor Agency is an easement for public parking and was only recently found.
The Successor Agency desires to avail itself of the authority provided under SB 107 to amend the
Original LRPMP by this form of long range property management plan (referred to for
convenience herein as the “Amended LRPMP”, “Long Range Property Management Plan” or the
“LRPMP”), under which each of the Public Parking Properties will be accorded treatment as
governmental use properties which may be transferred to the City without payment therefor.
The Amended LRPMP addresses the disposition and use of the real properties of the former
Agency and includes the information required pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
34191.5(c) and implements the provisions of SB 107 concerning public parking facilities as
described above. Excepting for the modifications to address the treatment of public parking
facilities afforded by SB 107, the Amended LRPMP is substantially identical to the Original LRPMP.
This LRPMP is prepared in compliance with Health and Safety Code sections 34191.3 and
34191.5(c), particularly as the former is modified by SB 107.

EXHIBIT A
Permissible Options for the Disposition of Property under the Long Range Property Management
Plan pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34191.5(c)(2) are as follows:
1. The property may be transferred to the City pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 34181 if the property was constructed and used for a governmental
purpose.
2. The property may be transferred to the City for future development if the plan directs the
use or liquidation of the property for a project identified in an approved redevelopment
plan, community plan or five-year implementation plan.
3. The property may be sold by the Successor Agency.
4. The property may be retained by the Successor Agency to fulfill an enforceable
obligation.
If the plan directs the liquidation of the property or the use of revenues generated from the
property, such as lease revenues, for any purpose other than to fulfill an enforceable obligation
or other than that specified in paragraph 2, above, the proceeds from the sale shall be distributed
to the taxing entities. With respect to the properties described in paragraph 2, the City will enter
into agreements with the affected taxing entities for the distribution of any net sale proceeds if
and to the extent required by law.
Property Disposition Plan (as Amended); Summary
There are eleven (11) sites held by the Successor Agency and included in this Long Range
Property Management Plan.
Three (3) sites (Sites 1 through 3) will be conveyed to the City of San Juan Capistrano (“City”) for
their continued public and governmental intended purposes as parks, open space and roads
under the Los Rios Specific Plan and the Open Space Master Plan, as authorized pursuant to
Health Safety Code Section 34181(a). The transfer to the City of Sites 1 through 3 was approved
by the Successor Agency, Oversight Board and DOF in connection with the approvals of the
Original LRPMP; the transfer of Sites 1 through 3 is included in this Amended LRPMP for purposes
of maintaining a convenient record.
Seven (7) sites (Sites 4 through 8, 10 and 11) are located in the Historic Town Center area and
identified in the Historic Town Center Master Plan. These sites will be conveyed to the City and
retained for development in accordance with the Historic Town Center Master Plan. In 2009, the
former Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors began the process to update the Historic Town

Center Master Plan which was adopted in 1995. The revised Historic Town Center Master Plan
was adopted by the City Council on April 3, 2012. The implementation of the Historic Town
Center Master Plan furthers the planning objectives of the former Redevelopment Agency and as
such the Successor Agency.
Sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 will be conveyed to the City upon approval by the Oversight Board
and approval by the Amended LRPMP by DOF for continued use as public parking facilities and, in
the case of Site 8, use as a community theater and future use for public parking. In the case of
Site 10 and Site 11, the only interest of the Successor Agency is an easement for public parking
purposes. No revenues are generated to the City from current public parking uses.
The Lower Rosan Ranch property (Site 9) is to be conveyed to the City for its intended
development as outlined in the former Redevelopment Agency’s Five-Year Implementation Plan
dated January 2010.

(Los Rios Specific Plan)
Acquisition Value: $1,387,947 ($187,947 and $1,200,000)
Estimated Current Value: $148,540 ($79,715 and $68,825)
(market value)
Estimated Lease, Rental or Other Revenue Value: $0
Environmental History: Unknown
Transit-Oriented/Other Potential Development: None/Passive Park Uses
Background, Including Purpose of Acquisition and Potential for Development
APN 121-143-18 – This property was vacant land acquired by the City in 1984 with Federal Land
and Conservation Grant funds provided through the State (Los Rios Park Acquisition #06-100839)
and transferred to the former Redevelopment Agency to be assembled with other properties as
part of the Los Rios Park as identified in the Los Rios Specific Plan (Appendix A).
APN 121-143-09 – The former Redevelopment Agency acquired the property for the purpose of
relocating the existing use (the local solid waste disposal company) to a location outside the Los
Rios Historic District and assemble the property with the adjacent properties as part of the Los
Rios Park as identified in the Los Rios Specific Plan (Appendix A).

Los Rios Park – Phase I was completed in August 2009 and opened to the public. The Los Rios Park
properties (Phase I and II) along with other properties used for public street purposes were
conveyed to the City in August 2010. However, the Los Rios Park – Phase II properties were not
conveyed at that time due questions regarding property and legal descriptions. Los Rios Park –
Phase II has been conceptually designed and construction will commence when funding for park
and open space improvements becomes available.
Because of its land use designation and intended governmental use described above, the Los Rios
Park Phase II property does not have any potential for transit-oriented development or the
advancement of planning objectives of the Successor Agency beyond the second phase of the Los
Rios park improvements.
Estimated Value
The City’s General Plan and Zoning Designation as part of the Los Rios Specific Plan is intended to
ensure that the property is retained as a public open space/recreational amenity in the Los Rios
Historic District in perpetuity. Additionally, the provisions of the Federal Land and Conservation
Grant funds under which the former Redevelopment Agency purchased APN 121-143-18, require
its use for park purposes. Based on zoning and grant fund provisions, the true “market value” of
the property is something considerably less than the “book value”. Recent comparable sales
information obtained by the City in November 2013 indicated the market value of similar
property to be approximately $1 - $3 per square foot.
Long Range Property Management Plan Authorized/Directed Disposition Action
The Successor Agency shall transfer the property to the City of San Juan Capistrano without
charge as a governmental purpose property to complete the Los Rios Park improvements, and to
enable its continued use as a governmental purpose site. The transfer to the City of Site 1 and
Site 2 was approved by the Successor Agency, Oversight Board and DOF in connection with the
approvals of the Original LRPMP.

Environmental History: Removal of underground storage tanks

Transit-Oriented/Other Potential Development: None/Passive Park and Open Space Uses
Background, Including Purpose of Acquisition and Potential for Development
The entire agricultural parcel (approximately 56 acres) was acquired in 1991 by the former
Redevelopment Agency with tax-exempt promissory notes to reserve 10 acres of the parcel as a
potential site for the Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) Adult Education Program which
was required to be relocated by the Redevelopment Agency as part of the Amended and
Restated Agreement for Cooperation between the former Redevelopment Agency and the CUSD
dated as of January 7, 1986. The remaining approximately 46 acres was sold to the City of San
Juan Capistrano as part of the City’s open space acquisitions under Bond Measure D in order to
provide open space and recreation amenities and preserve the City’s agricultural heritage. Since
the exact location of the Adult Education Program was not known at that time, a 4/5 undivided
interest (approximately 45 acres) in the property was sold to the City for the implementation of
San Juan Capistrano Successor Agency
Long Range Property Management Plan November 1, 2015

EXHIBIT A
the Open Space Master Plan, approved in 1991 (Appendix B) and a 4/5 undivided interest
(approximately 11 acres) was retained by the former Redevelopment Agency. In 1998, the
Second Amended and Restated Agreement for Cooperation between the former Redevelopment
Agency and the CUSD eliminated the obligation to relocate the Adult Education Program and
created the obligations to sell approximately 7 acres of the parcel for the construction of
Kinoshita Elementary School. This left the Redevelopment Agency with an interest in
approximately 4 acres (an undivided 4/5th interest in the entire remaining property). The original
purchase and sale agreement acknowledges the understanding that the property was acquired
for park, open space, agricultural, and other public and quasi-public uses. Additionally, the
purchase and sale agreement for the original acquisition of the Site by the former
Redevelopment Agency identified the sale or transfer of all or any portion of the property for
private development uses, private commercial uses, or for-profit uses as prohibited uses unless
these uses were consistent with zoning at the date of the agreement.
As outlined in the 1991 Open Space Master Plan, approximately 28 acres of the property has
been maintained since its acquisition as an agricultural preserve (currently operated by South
Coast Farms). Additionally, the historic Congdon House (currently operated by the Ecology
Center) has been restored by the City and is currently part of the agricultural preservation area.
The improvements to the remaining property (approximately 21 acres, including the former
Redevelopment Agency’s undivided interest) were completed between 1996 and 2002 and are
currently in use as a public street (Via Positiva), the San Juan Capistrano Community Center and
Sports Park; Gymnasium; and Community Garden. The Capistrano Valley Boys & Girls Club and
Teen Center is also located on the property as part of the Community Center/Gymnasium
complex.
Because of its land use designation and intended governmental use described above, the San
Juan Capistrano Sports Park property does not have any potential for transit-oriented
development or the advancement of planning objectives of the Successor Agency beyond the
uses implemented to date.
Estimated Value
The City’s General Plan and Zoning Designation as part of the Open Space (Community Park) and
Agri-Business are intended to ensure that the property is retained as a public recreational, open
space and active agricultural amenity in perpetuity. Based on zoning provisions, the true “market
value” of the property is something considerably less than the “book value” and is estimated at
approximately $1 per square foot or $176,418 based on the estimated 1/5 undivided interest
(approximately 4 acres).
Long Range Property Management Plan Authorized/Directed Disposition Action
The Successor Agency shall transfer the property to the City of San Juan Capistrano without
charge as a governmental purpose property to complete the Los Rios Park improvements, and to

Transit-Oriented/Other Potential Development: Highly likely for transit-oriented and

Background, Including Purpose of Acquisition and Potential for Development
This parcel, located on the south side of Yorba Street, between Camino Capistrano and El Camino
Real was acquired for redevelopment as part of the Historic Town Center development. The
front or westerly half of the parcel (approximately 0.24) was improved as Veteran’s Park. The
park portion of the parcel was approved by the State Department of Finance as a governmental
use property on November 30, 2012.
The remaining 0.15 acre easterly portion of the parcel was held by the former Redevelopment
Agency to be developed as part of the Historic Town Center Master Plan. In the interim, the

property was improved and put into service by the City as a public parking lot in the early 1990’s
pending a permanent parking solution as part of the Historic Town Center development. The
property is currently operated and maintained by the City as a public parking lot. The City has not
charged for parking at Site 4 and does not presently contemplate imposing charges for parking at
Site 4. The City has absorbed the costs of overseeing and maintaining the parking area at Site 4,
including costs for ongoing landscape, regular surface sweeping, utility costs (water and
electricity) and pavement repairs resulting in an annual allocated costs of approximately
$3,300.00; The foregoing does not take into account insurance costs or the defense of liability
claims.
The El Camino Real and Historic Town Center Park area of the Historic Town Center Master Plan
(Section 2.2.5) identifies this property as mixed use buildings and envisions El Camino Real as a
full-fledged downtown street, with wide, comfortable sidewalks, street trees, curbside parallel
parking, and new mixed-use buildings fronting the Historic Town Center park with ground floor
shops and restaurants and offices above along its west side where the parking lots are now
located (See Appendix C). These described uses advance the planning objectives of the Successor
Agency. Additionally, the property is 0.2 miles from the Historic Capistrano Depot which provides
Metrolink and Amtrak service with several daily stops. Therefore, potential for transit-oriented
development is highly likely although there will be a continued need for parking to serve both
nearby commercial uses and tourism.
Estimated Value
The Successor Agency and the City have no recent appraisal or market value information on this
property; therefore, the book value is used as its estimated current value.
Long Range Property Management Plan Authorized/Directed Disposition Action
Upon approval of this Long Range Property Management Plan, the Successor Agency shall

Background, Including Purpose of Acquisition and Potential for Development
This parcel located on southeast corner of Ortega Highway and El Camino Real and was acquired
for redevelopment as part of the Historic Town Center development. The property was improved
and put into service by the City as a temporary public parking lot in the early 1990’s pending a
permanent parking solution as part of the Historic Town Center development. The property is
currently operated and maintained by the City as a public parking lot.
The Town Center Gateway area of the Historic Town Center Master Plan (Section 2.2.1) identifies
this property as a key component of creating a downtown gateway (See Appendix D). The
Historic Town Center Master Plan includes the construction of a major new municipal parking
structure at the southwest corner of the new Ortega Highway/Del Obispo intersection which
San Juan Capistrano Successor Agency
Long Range Property Management Plan November 1, 2015
Page 18
EXHIBIT A
includes this property and is identified as integral to the success of the overall vision of the Town
Center. It is thus contemplated that public parking will remain a use.
The new municipal parking structure would be lined on all sides with retail shops and other uses
to screen the parking structure from public view. Replacing the existing surface parking lots and
drive-through restaurants (on adjacent privately-owned parcels) on this corner, if feasible, with a
well-designed building fronting directly onto the street helps to form another distinct corner at
the gateway. The additional supply of parking provided by the new structure would replace the
need for the existing surface parking lots on the west side of El Camino Real (Sites 4-6), and allow
the construction of the new buildings around the Historic Town Center Park without requiring
each to have its own dedicated parking spaces. The construction of such a shared parking facility
would require the relocation of the Camino Real Playhouse (Site 8). At the present time, Site 7
continues to be used for public parking without charge. The City has not charged for parking at
Site 7 and does not presently contemplate imposing charges for parking at Site 7. The City has
absorbed the costs of overseeing and maintaining the parking area at Site 6, including costs for
ongoing landscape, regular surface sweeping, utility costs (water and electricity) and pavement
repairs resulting in an annual allocated costs of approximately $14,110.00; The foregoing does
not take into account insurance costs or the defense of liability claims.
This development advances the planning objectives of the Successor Agency. Additionally, the
property is 0.2 miles from the Historic Capistrano Depot which provides Metrolink and Amtrak
service with several daily stops. Therefore, potential for transit-oriented development is likely
although there will be a continued need for parking to serve both nearby commercial uses and
tourism.
Estimated Value
The Successor Agency and the City have no recent appraisal or market value information on this
property; therefore, the book value is used as its estimated current value.
Long Range Property Management Plan Authorized/Directed Disposition Action
Upon approval of this Long Range Property Management Plan, the Successor Agency shall
transfer the property to the City of San Juan Capistrano without charge as a governmental
purpose property.

development
Background, Including Purpose of Acquisition, Rental Income and Potential for Development
This parcel, located on the El Camino Real next to the Historic Town Center Park was acquired for
redevelopment as part of the Historic Town Center development. The existing building on the
property is currently in use as a community theater occupied and operated by the South Orange
County Community Theatre pending the development of the Historic Town Center Master Plan.
The rental income from this use is $100 annually under the license agreement dated October 7,
2008. The license agreement expired by its terms on October 31, 2015.
The Town Center Gateway area of the Historic Town Center Master Plan (Section 2.2.1) identifies
this property as a key component of creating a downtown gateway (See Appendix D). The
Historic Town Center Master Plan includes the construction of a major new municipal parking
structure at the southwest corner of the new Ortega Highway/Del Obispo intersection which
San Juan Capistrano Successor Agency

EXHIBIT A
includes this property and is identified as integral to the success of the overall vision of the Town
Center.
The new municipal parking structure, if feasible, would be lined on all sides with retail shops and
other uses to screen the parking structure from public view. Replacing the existing surface
parking lots (See pages 10-11) and drive-through restaurants (on adjacent privately-owned
parcels) on this corner with a well-designed building fronting directly onto the street helps to
form another distinct corner at the gateway. The additional supply of parking provided by the
new structure would replace the need for the existing surface parking lots on the west side of El
Camino Real (Properties #4-#6), and allow the construction of the new buildings around the
Historic Town Center Park (See pages 5-10 of this document) without requiring each to have its
own dedicated parking spaces. The construction of such a shared parking facility would require
the relocation of the Camino Real Playhouse.
The development of the Town Center Gateway advances the planning objectives of the Successor
Agency. Additionally, the property is 0.2 miles from the Historic Capistrano Depot which provides
Metrolink and Amtrak service with several daily stops. Therefore, potential for transit-oriented

Background, Including Purpose of Acquisition and Potential for Development
The easement was acquired for the purpose of continuing the availability of public parking at Site
10. The property was improved and has been maintained as a public parking lot. Under the
terms of the Grant of Easement, the easement area is to be available for public parking on a
continuous basis. In addition, the Redevelopment Agency, as grantee, was required to bear one
half of the cost of ongoing maintenance. The duties regarding maintenance cost are part of the
easement grant. The private property owner that granted the easement also has continuing
rights to use the parking lot. Given those circumstance together with the circumstance that there
have been no charges for parking, the value of the easement rights as to Site 10 are believed to
be zero.
Future use of the easement area is anticipated to be for public parking.

insurance costs or the defense of liability claims.
The continued use of the subject easement for public parking advances the planning objectives of
the Successor Agency. Additionally, the property is [0.2] miles from the Historic Capistrano Depot
which provides Metrolink and Amtrak service with several daily stops. Therefore, use of the
subject property (easement) for public parking supports the potential for transit-oriented
development of nearby properties as there will be a continued need for parking to serve both
nearby commercial uses and tourism.
Estimated Value
The Successor Agency and the City have no recent appraisal or market value information on this
property; therefore, the book value is used as its estimated current value. However, because the
rights are limited to an easement for public parking use, the use rights carry with them an
obligation to pay for ongoing maintenance, the adjacent private owner has rights to use parking
on the subject property and no charges have historically been imposed for parking at the subject
property (and no such charges are contemplated), it is believed that the value of the easement
rights is zero.

These improvements work together with uses and facilities proposed for the two major
community parks and lands designated for acquisition in Measure D. Together, these
establish an overall City-wide park strategy.
2.2 Community Park and Recreation Concept
The community parks and facilities proposed for the lands designated in Measure D are
referred to here as the Kinoshita Farm arid the Northwest Park Site. The Kinoshita Farm
is a 56 acre site and is to be a community park in the southern portion of the City. The
northern community park is anticipated to encompass approximately 120 acres at the
northwest boundary of the City.
Kinoshita Farm Site
The Kinoshita Farm is proposed as a community park and farm . Its central location within
the southern area of the City and its adjacency to the Marco Forster Junior High provide
great opportunity for making recreational facilities available to the community. Its historic
use as a farm is also important to the cultural identity of the City. The Open Space Plan
seeks to accommodate both interests in a fashion that integrates the two.
Chapter 2 Executive Summary 13
APPENDIX B -Page 2
San Juan Capistrano Open Space Plan
The site contains approximately 56 acres. Of that amount, 46 acres are currently
available for open space use. The City has been able to acquire the entire 56 acres of
the Kinoshita Farm through MeasureD and Redevelopment Agency funding. Ten acres
of the 56 acres were acquired through Redevelopment Agency funding. The remaining
46 acres were purchased through Measure D funding.
The plan for the park/farm evolved through a series of alternative concept plans which
were reviewed and evaluated within public workshops. From this process, a preferred
plan was selected. The plan is referred to here as Alternate 68.
Each of the alternatives incorporated similar features and land use program but, have
slight variations in agricultural acreage and different locations of facilities and layouts.
Overall development costs were similar to one another.
Alternative Plan -68
The concept of this plan is to cluster all new development to the west and retain
agricultural use to the east. This concept minimizes the visual impact of the change from
agriculture to park and recreational use. The new park and recreation facilities are to be
related to and coordinated with further development and expansion of the existing Marco
Forster school. Agricultural use is to be continued on the eastern portion of the site,
thereby retaining a significant area for this use.
Plan 68 was prepared in conjunction with plans of the Capistrano Unified School District
for conversion of Marco Forster Junior High School to a Middle School. Conversion of
the Junior High School to a Middle School will require additional classrooms, parking, and
additional play ground area. Plan 68 seeks to coordinate development of both the Park
and Middle School, and use of active sports fields (refer to Figure 2 -Kinoshita Farm -
Alternative 68).
Initial discussions with the School District determined need for a 1 00 car parking area and
additional classrooms and improvement to the school's vehicular access. This plan
illustrates additional area for hard courts and relocation of the school's tennis courts,
handball courts, and track to the north end of the school property.
With a coordinated plan, the existing number of ball fields are retained and development
of an additional lighted baseball field and two lighted softball/little league fields and three
lighted soccer fields is possible. These lighted fields are located away as far away from
adjacent residential areas as possible. The plan also allows for phased, future
development of two unlighted softball/little league fields and three practise soccer fields
adjacent to Camino Del Avion. The latter area is to be developed for these recreational
uses as needs and funding occurs, and therefore will be an agricultural use in the interim .
The Plan also features a major Community Center near the center of the park and
adjacent to the sports fields. The Community Center is to be a multi-purpose facility of
approximately 32,000 sq. ft. The Community Center will be able to se!Ve a variety of
14 Chapter 2 Executive Summary
APPENDIX B-Page 3
San Juan Capistrano Open Space Plan
recreational and community service needs, and contain a gymnasium, senior center,
kitchen facilities, crafts, and multi-purpose game/meeting rooms.
Adjacent to the Community Center, is a proposed community swimming pool, picnic area,
and tot Jot. Parking area for the Community Center will be shared with the adjacent
Sports Park parking area to maximize parking efficiency. The parking area is to
accommodate 230 cars spread along three parking areas surrounding this complex.
All these facilities will require a widened vehicular entry from Camino Del Avion that is to
·be coordinated with the entry into the school. The plan separates the farm area from the
Community Center facilities and Sports Park area with an access road that links Camino
Del Avion with Del Obispo. The road serves to facilitate access and egress from either
street and provides a barrier and buffer between the agricultural use and the park use. -
The Agricultural Preserve will encompass 31 acres of the 56 acre site. In addition, there
is to be an area of 6.2 acres that is to remain in agricultural use in the interim along
Camino Del Avion and to be utilized for recreational use when needed.
The agricultural portion of this plan includes the 31 acre agricultural preserve, which
incorporates Demonstration Garden, a Farmer's Market, a roadside vegetable and fruit
stand, farm equipment and storage buildings. The farm is expected to be able to grow a
variety of row crops, berries, pumpkins, melons, and the like. The farm is also to be a
community attraction as well, and its farmer's market and roadside stand are to be
designed to bring the public to the farm and enjoy the farm's fresh fruits and vegetables.
An area has also been set aside for restoration and a support garden for the historic, Joel
Congdon house and its related support buildings. The Joel Congdon house is to be
restored and rehabilitated to serve as a museum. There will also be an adjacent outdoor
garden to display historic farm equipment and crops. Visitors will be able to Jearn, and
gain a first hand understanding of the history of farming in the Capistrano Valley from
these elements.
The use of the ten acres acquired by the City Redevelopment Agency has yet to be
determined. These ten acres are subject to further study of use and site layout. In the
interim, the lands are anticipated to continue to be utilized for agriculture and function as
part of the existing farm.
This Plan has designated a area at the north central portion of the site as lands of the
Redevelopment Agency. This location allows for a separate use while maintaining the
integrity and efficiency of the agricultural use and community service and recreation uses.
Should it be determined that this site is suitable to meet the Capistrano School District
requirements for Adult Education programs, an opportunity for joint use of parking and
additional recreation facility use may be able to be provided on this site.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO HISTORIC TOWN CENTER MASTER PLAN
PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT : OCTOBER I I 20 I 0
2 2.5 El Camino Real and the Historic Town Center Park
In most of California's mission towns, El Camino Real was originally and remained
one of the most important streets in town In San Juan Capistrano, it was
super3eded fairly early by Camino Capistrano, which became State Highway I 0 I,
connecting San Diego to Los Angeles and San Francisco ,
However, El Camino Real remains a centrally located street that connects the
Historic Town Centerto the Mission, the Miss1on Basilica, the San Juan Capistrano
Library, and the fine neighborhoods north of downtown, South of Ortega Highway
it is currently characterized by a lack of sidewalks, frontages without buildings,
parking lots on the west and a large open park area on the east, Hoping to draw
people to this area, the City in recent years has organized a number of special
events that are staged in the parking lots and the park that line El Camino Real, and
those events have become 1mportant to the community despite the rather bleak
setting. A key goal of the Plan is to improve the quality of the setting for existing as
well as new community events,
The 1995 Town Center Master Plan recognized the opportunity to revive El Camino
Real as an important place within the downtown, but conceived it to be a small
pedestrian mall . To enable the block-making strategy recommended by this Plan, it
is important that El Camino Real be both a first-class pedestrian environment and a
street that connects the Mission to the rest of the Downtown, providing on-street
parking to help support the construction of new buildings and the success of new
businesses along this key central street.
This Plan envisions El Camino Real as a full-fledged downtown street, with wide,
comfortable sidewalks, street trees, curbside parallel parking, and new mixed-use
buildings fronting the Historic Town Center, park with ground noor shops and
restaurants and offices above along its west side where the parking lots are now
located. On the east side, the existing park would be significantly improved, with
new tree groves, open play areas, comfortable seating area, and other amenities
typical of a downtown park. Among such amenities should be design elements
or displays that present and interpret the historic resources-including Miss1on
era building foundations and trash pits from a number of eras-that lie below the
suriace within this park. This park ......as created in this location to honor those
historic resources, and this Plan recommends adding a range of above-ground
design elements that, in addition to making it a significant civic space and a pleasant
town center park, can also make visitors aware of the presence, nature, and historic
meaning of these buried treasures.
Along the east edge of the Park-currently an undeveloped area between the lawn
and parking lots-a new City Hall is proposed, a public-serving use that would bring
approximately 100 City worker3 and I 00 daily visitor3 into the center of town, and
spur a demand for adjacent office and retail space The location of the new City Hall
will also give the Park a strong civic presence Similar to many of the great central
parks and squares of towns all over the country and the world . This three-story
structure would not impact the current size of the existing lawn .
Forster Street Extension
While the new segment of Yorba Street connecting El Camino Real to Del Obispo
Street will bound the north edge of the Park, the eastward extension of For3ter will
bound its south edge.
Ironically th1s street-named after one of the founder5 of San Juan Capistrano, a
former owner of the Mission and at one time the largest landowner in the State
of California-is the shortest street in town, with no properties using it as their
address. This Plan proposes to extend For3ter Street through to Del Obispo to
the east, creating a very useful cross-street connecting Del Obispo, El Camino Real
and Camino Capistrano, and providing an additional very convenient right turn from
southbound Del Obispo into the middle of the Downtown core.
Along the north side of this new segment would be the renovated City Park, and
the new City Hall. On the south side, existing commercial property that currently
has no visible street address will now have a prominent downtown address, facing
the Park and City Hall, with convenient access to Del Obispo Street.
At Del Obispo, a new traffic signal is recommended, as the Forster extension and
the existing major driveway to the shopping center east of Del Obispo are aligned
(with any curb adjustments necessary to made in the design phase). This will then
function as a safe and convenient intersection for automobiles and pedestrians
entering the Downtown Core or shopping center from Del Obispo, as well as for
pedestrians seeking to move from one side of Del Obispo to the other in the cour5e
of their visit to the Town Center District, The addition of this traffic signal would not
impede on the flow of traffic if it is synchronized with adjacent signals to move car3
at a pedestrian-friendly speed.
This new cross-connectivity for pedestrians will allow Downtown visitor3 to shop
and dine at eastside establishments while remaining pedestrians, which can increase
total sales on both sides of Del Obispo. It will also enable potential parking sharing
36
Santa Barbara tawn square with civic building
Interior view of live-work loft
arrangements between blocks and businesses on both sides of Del Obispo Street,
and over time will encourage owners of east-side properties to update their facilities
to share in the growing success of the Downtown District ,
The new cross connections that Yorba and For5ter will provide through the
Downtown core will enable periodic closures of Ortega Highway or El Camino
Real for speCial events. The block between Yorba and Forster in particular-in
front of the renovated park, could be closed to traffic for weekly or less frequent
events, expanding the space of the park to accommodate larger crowds. This could
become the new home of the weekly farmers' market, which is currently staged
on Yorba Street and in the adjacent parking lots. For major events, both Ortega
Highway and El Camino Real north of Forster could be closed to traffic, with access
to the new parking structure preserved via the Yorba extension, and traffic between
Del Obispo and Camino Capistrano accommodated by For5ter Street.
El Camino Real Extension
It is also recommended that El Camino Real be extended southward to connect
to Del Obispo Street. As with the Forster and Yorba extensions, this will require
the acquisition of new right of way from private property owner3. But unlike the
proposed Yorba and Forster extensions, the El Camino Real extension will also
require the removal of an existing building and some challenging grading design, and
thus may require a longer period of time to realize than the other two extensions.
This extension should provide significant value to the owner3 of the currently
landlocked property south of the park, to the owners of the commercial center5
south of Del Obispo who will thus be connected directly to the Downtown core
and the Mission, and to the District as a whole. That value will come at some cost
in time, eHort and money. This small segment of street has the potential to provide
great addresses for high-quality residential, office or live-work buildings, which may
take advantage of the grade change in that property to insert lower level parking
facilities at a reasonable cost,

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO HIS TORIC TO\IVI\I CENTER MAS TER PLAN
PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT I OCTOBER I I 20 I 0
2.2 Revitalization -Historic Town Center
2.2 I Town Center Gateway
One of the primary entries into the Town Center is via Interstate 5 and Ortega
Highway. This interchange, along with the related Ortega Highway/Del Obispo
inte~ection, is planned to undergo reconstruction that will shift the directionaJity
of approaching vehicles away from Ortega Highway and towards Del Obispo.
As the community has suggested, this may negatively affect wayfinding for the
Mission, and ror the downtown in general. Therefore extending the downtown
east to Del Obispo and establishing a gateway to downtown at this intersection
is critical. This can be accomplished by bringing buildings and activity dose to the
street, maintaining a continuous streeacape and view corridor down Ortega. and
introducing an iconic element at the intersection.
A primary component of the gateway is the proposed Plaza Ba11deras, which
includes a 124-room hotel fronting Ortega Highway along with mo small retail
and restaurant buildings fronting Ortega Highway and El Camino Real. In order to
improve traffic now generated by the proposed hocel, a new dedicated right tum
lane is required ror westbound traffiC on Ortega when turning on to El Camino ReaL
Although Plaza Band eras will likely be completed before the new interchange is
in place, it will ultimately find itselr set back a great distance from the intersection
of Ortega Highway and Del Obispo. separated rrom the street by a large residual
property resulting from che realignmem. While the ownership of this parcel is yet
to be determined, it is suggested that its furure not be limited to a large ambiguous
landscaped area, but instead comribute to the downtown environment by its use
as a development slce , The Master Plan proposes that the Plaza Banderas be
supplemented by an additional retail or restaurant building on me newly created
and highly visible parcel, establishing a distinct edge to the north side of Ortega and
creating a landmark for those entering downtown. All appropriately-sized plaza
with an iconic element such as a fountain, st:acue, or other piece of public art, ca11
also contribute to the gateway on this site while keeping the proposed retail building
a comfortable distance from the busy intersection.
The second key component of creating a downtown gateway is construction of a
major new municipal parking structure at the southwest corner or the new Ortega
Highway/Del Obispo intersection, lined on all sides with retail shops and other uses
to screen the parking structure rrom public view. Replacing the existing surface
parking lots and drive-through restauran~ on this corner with a well-designed
building fronting direcdy onto rhe street helps form another distinct corner at the
gateway.
Pedestrian circulation from this parking facility will be convenient to the Mission,
Camino Capistrano, and adjacent mixed-use, office, and civic buildings. The
additional supply or parking provided by the new structure would replace the need
for the existing surface parking lots on the west and east side or El Camino Real, and
allow the construction or the new buildings around the Historic Town Center Park
without requiring each to have its own dedicated parking spaces. Curbside parking
along El Camino Real would be managed, and generally be reserved for short-term
visitor parking.
The construction or such a shared parking facility -integral to the success of
the overall vision ror the Town Center, as described in more detail in Section
4 -would require the relocation of the Camino Real Playhouse , Retaining and
supporting that institution is clearly a community prioriry, but the structure in
which they are currently operating is a very undistinguished windowless former
telephone equipment building not well suited to the Playhouse's needs, nor any
other downtown use. Because it is a publicly funded institution, the most feasible
new location for the Playhouse would be in an existing building and/or on public
property, such as the Hot Springs Dance Hall, a potentially relocated historic
barn building in Los Rios Pari<, or an underperiorming retail center near the
Community theater located within an old barn structure in San Diego
26
Parking sttucture lined with ground floor retail and offices above
Three-/eve/ mixed use building of appropriate scale for parking liner
downtown~ Alternatively. the Playhouse might share a larger facility with another
local insti(ution, such as the new performing .ans center planned for the nearby St.
Margaret's Episcopal School
Yorba Street Extension
Extending the existing Yorba Street across the Town Center orte~ a key opportunity
to improve access, complete a simple street network, and create valuable new
addresses. This Plan recommends that a new segment of Yorba connect El Camino
Real to Del Obispo Street, running just to the south of the Bias Aguilar Adobe,
Along with providing vehicular access to the new parking structure described above,
this new street will be a prominent address for small new mixed-use buildings next
to the Bias Aguilar Adobe and facing the Historic Town Cemer Park.
The Plan illustrates the new segment of Yorba to be slightly offset from the existing
block of Yorba. This positioning simplifies the geometry of the blocks, does not
disturb old roundation walls, and preserves more of rhe Park than would be the case
if me new segment aligned directly with the existing street. It also allows tr.Jrric to
go through without encouraging excessive speeds, and allows a ruture building on
the west side or El Camino Real to terminate the view of a pe~on entering town
from the east.
This new intersection of Yorba at Del Obispo may or may not be signalized
depending on its ultimate proximity to the intersection or Ortega Highway and Del
Obispo, and is illustrated here at a conceptual level only. Similarly, allowable turning
movements between this street and Del Obispo will need to be determined by
traffic enginee~ during later design phases .
