The proposed amendment to the IHCL is consistent with the policies and
objectives of the San Juan Capistrano General Plan, specifically, the Cultural
Resources Element because the project will designate, preserve and protect
buildings of historical importance; and,
2. The proposed amendment to the IHCL complies with the City Council Policy
601 definition of a historic resource because the buildings at 31319 Andres
Pico Road, 31491 La Calera Street, and the rear building at 31501 La
Matanza Street embody the distinctive characteristics of the Spanish
Colonial Revival, Craftsman Bungalow and Minimal Traditional architectural
styles, respectively.

minor modifications that enhance the original Modern influences and do not
detract from the original design and massing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Cultural

add the above -referenced properties within the Mission Hill -Mission Flats neighborhoods.
