EXECUT¡VE SUMMARY
Taylor Morrison Homes, on behalf of Pacific Point Development Partners, LLC (PPDP)
has submitted a request and justification (Attachment 2) to extend the term of the
Amended and Restated Development Agreement between the City of San Juan
Capistrano and PPDP for an additional 60-month period ending on January 16,2022.
PPDP, the new owners of the project, are currently processing entitlements for new
home construction within five (5) of the six (6) remaining tracts, and although they plan
on beginning construction later this year, they anticipate that the build-out time will take
approximately 5 years, The extension would not materially change or expand the scope
of the development allowable under the original project approvals and the current
Amended and Restated Development Agreement. The project site is the 257-acre
Pacifica San Juan planning area and is subject to the provisions of the Forster Canyon
Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 81-01.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Pacifica San Juan Project was entitled in June 1992 for the development of 350
dwelling units on 257 acres including single-family residential and multiple-family
residential housing as well as ancillary uses. ln 2002, the City approved an Amended
Development Agreement, and in 2004, approved an Amended and Restated
Development Agreement with an allowance for the development of up to 416 dwelling
units. ln 2012, the project was purchased by LV Pacific Point LLC (LVPP), a Lehman
Brothers Holding, which in turn sold the project to PPDP on May 19,2015.
ln May 2014 the City Council approved an Amendment to the Development Agreement
requested by LVPP that extended the term of the agreement to January 16,2017. Since
then, LVPP and PPDP have addressed a wide range of outstanding project-related City
entitlement issues, including amending and restating eight Project Subdivision
lmprovement Agreements, the project's lmprovement and Reimbursement Agreement,
and the project's Special 4(d) lnterim Habitat Loss lmplementation Agreement. ln
addition, LVPP paid over $1.9 million of past due City impact fees,
Because Lehman Brothers Holdings is not a developer or in the business of building
homes, it was mutually understood by both the applicant and the City that the 2014
extension was for the purpose of allowing LVPP time to get the project to a point where
it could be sold to a builder that would complete the project. Furthermore, the Amended
and Restated Development Agreement does not prohibit extensions, nor did it place a
restriction on the maximum number of extensions the owners could request. lt is
anticipated that the development of the remaining tracts will extend beyond the
Amended and Restated Development Agreement's January 16,2017 expiration. Thus,
the applicant is requesting the additional 60-month period ending on January 16,2022,
to allow them to finish the project.

LV Pacific Point LLC and PPDP have also worked closely with the US Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and the City
to address the project's habitat mitigation obligations, including:
o Facilitating issuance of the project's Revised Special 4(d) Rule lnterim Habitat
Loss Permit for Tentative Tract 14196 (Pacific Point Project aka Pacifica San
Juan) by the USFWS and CDFW;. Executing a habitat restoration and conservation agreement with the Laguna
Heights Community Association related to the restoration of approximately 33
acres of off-site open space;. Preparing on-site and off-site habitat mitigation plans;
. Preparing on-site and off-site perpetual management plans;
o Executing and recording on-site and off-site conservation easement deeds;
o Executing a management and funding agreement with the Center for Natural
Lands Management; ando Funding $1,250,868 in non-wasting endowments. PPDP commenced the on-site
and off-site restoration work in late October 2015.
Furthermore, LV Pacific Point LLC and PPDP have worked closely with the City and the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to identify and permit a mutually
agreed upon design and improvement of the l-5/La Novia Avenue and Valle Road
intersection, including obtaining:
o Caltrans approval of the required lntersection Control Evaluation
o City approval of the proposed roundabout concept;
o City approval of a resolution adopting the required CEQA findings;
o City and Caltrans approval of the required Permit Engineering Evaluation Permit;
and. City and Caltrans approval of the improvement plans (currently pending).
Currently, PPDP is in the process of securing contractor proposals to construct the
intersection improvement and anticipates start of construction later this year, with
anticipated completion in 2017.
PPDP has also recently started construction on two of the nine residential
neighborhoods within the Pacific San Juan development (see Enclosure 1), including
Tract 14196 "Belle Haven" (37 new homes) and Tract 16750 "Blue Harbor" (23 new
homes), and has made application for Architectural Control review of the recreation
center ("Splashes") and for all of the remaining neighborhoods within the project,
including:
. Tract 15609 "Peninsula" -23 single-family homes;. Tract 16751"Crystal Downs North" - 22 single-family homes;
o Tract 16752 "Crystal Downs" - 82 single-family homes;

. Tract 16747 "The Cove" -74 attached units; ando Tract 15687 "Pearl" - 59 single-family homes
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact resulting from the requested time extension of the
Amended and Restated Development Agreement. The Public Works and Utilities
Department is updating the required Subdivision lmprovement Agreements and
Performance Bonds for the project to ensure there are adequate sureties to insure
construction of the remaining public infrastructure.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
A previously certified environmental impact report (ElR No. 88-02) was prepared and
approved for the Pacifica San Juan project on August 20, 1991, and a Final
Supplemental EIR was prepared and certified by the City Council (Resolution 02-07-02-
05) on September 2, 2003 (SCH #2001061018). The Development Agreement and
subsequent amendments thereto are consistent with adopted EIR No. 88-02 and the
Supplemental EIR; therefore, the EIR/SEIR serves as the environmental documentation
for this Amended and Restated Development Agreement Amendment under provisions
of California Environmental Quality Act Section 21157.1.

PACIFIC POINT DEVELOPMEI{T PARTNERS LLC
February 9,2016
Mr. Sergio Klotz, Acting Development Services Director
City of San ]uan Capistrano
32400 Paseo Adelanto
San |uan Capistrano, CA 92675
Re: Pacifica San ]uan
Development Agreement
Dear Mr, Klotz:
paci-fic Point Development Partners LLC ("PPDP'), owner of PaciJica San ]uan (thc "Project"),
hereby submits this request to amend the Amended and Restated Development Agreement for
the pacifica San Juan Project Between the City of San Juan Capistrano and LV Pacific Point LLC,
last amended o¡ ¡¿ay 6,2014 (the "Development Agreemenf'), PPDP is the successor-in-
interest to LV Pacifió Point LLC in accordance with the Assigrrment and Assumption of
Development Agreement executed on May 5, 2A15, a copy of which is attached for your
reference.
Our only proposed revision to the Development Agreement is the extension of the Term of
Agre"-årri (the "Term") clescribed in Section 4.1' by five (5) years from January 1'6, 2017 lo
¡aiuary 1,6, Z0ZZ. This requestecl extension would modify Section 4'1 of the Development
Agreement to read:
"l.)n1ess otlærtuit* extenelecl, terminøterl or modified pursunnt to this Agreement, tl'te
term of tfuis Agreenrerú (tlæ "'lerfl'l') sh{tll comfiie'txce on tlæ Effectizte Døte a.nd sltctll
extend tltrough Januøry'16, 2022" .
As background, the city of san Juan capistrano (the "clty") city co_u-ncil approved an
Anrendnient to tl-re Develc,pment Agreement requested by LV Pacific Point LLC onMay 6,201'4
that exter1clecl the Term tó fanuary 1.6, 2017. LV Pacific Point LLC had taken control of the
project tn 2012 as successor-in-interest to SID Partners, Ltd., the previous dcveloper, after the
project was for all intents ancl purposes abandoned more than four (4) years due to the national
economic downturn and sgbsequent Project-related forcclosure and bankruptcy procecdings.
The City understood that, since i,V Pacific Point LLC was not a developer and intencled to sell
the project as soon as possible, granting the extension of the Term to January 16,2417 was an
interim measure ancl tire ultimate developer woulcl nrost likely request a further extension of
the Term i¡ order to have enough time successfully complete development of the Project' As
you are aware, PPDP purchased the lrroject from LV Pacific Point LLC on May 19' 2015.
Since May of 2014,LV pacific point LLC and PPDP have addressecl a wide range of outstanding
project-relatecl City entitlement issues including amending and restating eight (8) Project
1(X) Spectrum Centev Drive, Suite 1450
Irvine, CA 92618
(e49) 341-1200Page 1 ATTACHMENT 2
Subdivision Improvement Agreements, the Projecfs Improvement and Reimbursement
Agreement and thc Project's Special 4(d) Interim Habitat Loss Impleçnentation Agreement. In
addition, LV Pacific Point LLC paid over $1.9 Million of past due City impact fees.
LV Pacific Point LLC and PPDP have also worked closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlífe
Service ("USFWS"), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ("CDFW") and the Cify to
address the Projecfs habitat mitigation obligations inclucling: facilitating issuance of the
Prcrjecf s Revised Special a(d) Rule Interim Habitat Loss Permit for Tentative Tract 14196 (Pacific
Point Project aka Pacifica San Juan) by the USFWS and CDFW; executing a habitat restoration
and conservation agreement with the Laguna Heights Community Association related to the
restoration of approximately 33 acres of off-site open space; preparation of on-site and off-site
habitat mitigation plans; preparation of on-sitc and off-site perpetual management plans;
executing and recording on-site and off-site coÍìservation easement deeds; execuling a
managemcnt and funding agreement with the Center for Natural Lands Management; and
funding $1,250,868 in non-wasting endowments. PPDP commenced the on-site and off-site
restoration work in late October 20L5.
Furthermore, LV Pacific Point LLC and PPDP have worked closely with the City and the
California Deparfment of Transportation ("Calfrans") to identify and permit a mutually agreed
upon design and improvement of the l-llLa Novia Avenue and Valle Road intelsection
including obtaining: Caltrans approval of the required Intersecfion Control Evaluation; City
approval of ttre proposed roundabout concept; City approval of a resoiulion adopting the
required California Environmental Quality Act Mitigated Negative Declaration; City and
Caltrans approval of the requirecl Permit Engineering Evaluation Permit; and Cify anci Caltrans
approval of the improvement plans (currently pencling). PPDP is in the process of securing
conhactor proposals to construct the intersection improvement and anticipates a construction
start in April2016 with completion of construction anticípated in early 2017,
Finally, PPDP has becn working closely with the City related to the approval of updated
architecture for the two (2) partially complete neighborhoods and new architeclure for the three
(3) previously platted neighborhoods, along with site plan approval related to the two (2) un-
platted parccls. It is anticipated that initial home construction will conìmence in March 201,6,
with commencement of home construction on all currently platted neighborhoods later this
yeâr. It is anticipated that consf¡uclion of homes on the curently un-platted parcels will
corrunence rn early 2017,
Based upon the significant progress referenced above, we believe that PPDP has adequately
demonstrated its commitment to fulfill all Project obligations and complete development of the
Prcrject over the collrse of the next five (5) years. For that reason, we are requesting a five (5)
year extension of the Development Agreement Term.
We hope the Cify recognizes our progress and ongoing commitment to tl"re Project and
understands that our requested extension of the Development Agreement Term will benefit the
Cify by positioning the Project for its long-awaitecl successful compleLion'

PACIFICA SAN JUAN
CEQA PROIECT DESCRIPTION
FOR
AMENDMENT TO PRO}ECT DÉVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Pacific Point Development Partners LLC (the "Applicant") owns a portion of land (the
"property") within thc approximately 400-acre Forster Canyon Planned Community District
(the "'Planned Communiiy"¡ located in the City of San Juan Capistrano (the City")' The
ùoundaries of the Property are shown on Exhibit A to this Projcct Description' The Forster
Canyon Planned Co*mu.rlty Comprehensive Development Plan ("CDP 81-01") was originally
apptoved on March 3,1981, and has been amended several times since that date,
Within the Planned Community, the Property represents the remaining undeveloped portion of
a257-acre development project which ha.s been known as both "Pacific Point" and "Pacifica San
Juan" (the "Project"). ln f 9é1 and1.992, the Cily approved a series of land use actions, including
Rez<¡ne Bg-07, Vesting Tentative'fract Map ("VTT'M") 14196 and ameudments to CDP 81-01 for
the Project (the "Original Approvals"),
At the time of the Origirral Approvals, the City and Pacific Point Partners, L.P., one of the
Applicarrt's predecessors-in-interest, entered into a statutory Developrnent Agreetrrent (tire
"Óiiginal Developrnent Agreement")which became effective on August 6,1992.
Subsequently, on luly 2,2002, the City Council extencled the termination date of the Original
Development Agree-ent to November 6, 2005, On June 15, 2004, the City Council further
extendéd the term of the Original Development Agrecment to ]uly 1.6, 2014 (the "Amended
L)evelopment Agreement"), ın May 6,2014, the City Council further extended the term of the
Amencled Development Agreemenf to January 16,2017 (the "2014 DA Amendment"), l'he
Amencled Development Agreement as amended by tl're 201"4 DA Amendment will hereinafter
be referred to as the "Project Development Agreement'"
On September 16,2003, the City Council approved the development of 416 residential units
within the Project and conditionally approved VTTM 1"5609 for a portion of the Project, Since
that time finai tract maps have båen-recorded within the Project, including those recorded
underthefollowingTraciNumbers:14196,15609,15,687,16747,\6,748,16749,1'6750,16751and
16752 (the "Final Maps").
Since the Amended Development Agreement was approved in2004, developmerrt of tl"re Project
proceeded anrl a significant nunrbei of homes were constructecl and are now owner occupied.
idditionalty, signlficant infrastructure and amenities were completed. However, full
development of ihe Project was not cornpleted due to the economic downturn beginning in
approximately 2007.
ln 2008, LV Pacific Point LLC acquired title to the Property through a non-judicial foreclosure
proceeding and assumed the role of "Owncr" under the Project Development Agreement. '['he
Applicantþurchascd the Property from l,V Pacific Point LLC on May 19,2015.
Page 4
There ¡ow remain 318 units to be built within the Project on lots currently owneci by the
Applicant and shown on recorded final tract maps.
The Applicant's proposed project consists oÍ approaøl of an "Amended and Restøted
Oeaeloþment Agreement' (the "iroposed DA Amendment") to ømenil the Proiect Deuelopment
Agreement, ThðProposed DA Amendment would extend the end date of the term of the Project
Dãvelopment Agreement from January 1-6,2017 to |anuary 1.6,2022, Approval of the Proposed
DA Amendment would continue to ailow the Project to be developed pursuant to CDP 81--01
and any past or future changes to CDP 81-01 which are agreed to by the Applicant'
As with the past l)evelopment Agreement extensions, for which the City determined the
amendments were not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ('CEQA"; Cal, Pub,
Resources Code Sectiotr jfOOO et seq.) pursuant to Section 15061(bX3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines (Cal. Code of Regs., Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.), the proposed amendment to
extend the Project Development Agreement would also not be subject to CEQA because there is
no possibility that the extension would have a significant effect on the environment' The
proposed amendment to the Project Development Agreement merely extencls the duration of
iiru ZOf¿ DA Amendment and aisociated land use approvals for five additional years; it does
not authorize ncw or additional development not previously approved and studied'

implement specific land uses to provide public infrastructure and to generate revenues to the
City, all in promotion of the health, safety and general welfare of the City'
1.3.1 Achievement of General and Çomprehensive Developmenl Plan
Çoals. Achieving of the goals of CDP 81-01 as well as the City General Plan and important City

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitations are true and correct and are adopted
as the findings of the Planning Commission.
SECTION 2.
Aqreement.
Findings for Amendment to Amended and Restated Development
1. The proposed 60-month time extension for the Amended and Restated
Development Agreement provides for the continued development of Pacifica
San Juan consistent with the City's General Plan and as approved by the City
Council,
2. The proposed amendment makes no other changes to the 2004 Amended and
Restated Development Agreement and is consistent with the General Plan
Public Services Element because the project includes provisions for addressing
project-related capital facility impacts to the city's infrastructure.
3. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Development
Plan (CDP) 81-02, Forster Canyon, because the extension would not materially
change or expand the scope of the development allowable under the original
project approvals and the current DevelopmentAgreement and the project site.
4. Extending the Amended and Restated Development Agreement is in the public
interest because the applicant has made significant progress to finish the project
and has adequately demonstrated its commitment to fulfill all project obligations
and complete development of the project over the course of the next five years,
2
and complete development of the project over the course of the next five years,
and by not allowing the extension would jeopardize the completion of many on
and off-site improvements that are beneficial to not only the existing residents
within Pacifica San Juan, but the general public as well.
5. The proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated Development
Agreement is authorized and consistentwith the provisions of Government Code
Sections 65864 through 65869.5 and related City ordinances and policies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission
of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby recommends that the City Council of the City of
San Juan Capistrano find that the amendment to the Amended and Restated Development
Agreement is not subject to CEQA because it is not a "project" as defined in Title 14,
California Code of Regulations, Section 15378.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT FURTHER RESOLVED, thatthe Planning Commission
of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby recommends that the City Council of the City of
San Juan Capistrano approve, via ordinance, the Amendment to the Development
Agreement, as provided in Exhibit A, "Amendment to the Amended and Restated
Development Agreement for the Pacifica San Juan Project between the City of San Juan
Capistrano and Pacific Point Development Partners, LLC,' attached hereto and
