NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning

as established by Section 9-2.317 of Title 9, Land Use Code of the City of San Juan
Capistrano:
PC Resolution 13-09-10-01 2 September 10, 2013
1. The proposed valet parking use and design are consistent with the maps and
policies of the General Plan because the use would facilitate efficient parking for
established commercial businesses within the downtown, which are consistent with
the General Plan Land Use Element's "M General Commercial" Land Use
designation; and,
2. The proposed valet parking use and design are consistent with the purpose, intent,
and standards of the Land Use Code and any applicable specific plan or
comprehensive development plan, except as otherwise approved, because the use
would facilitate parking for existing commercial businesses within the "TC" (Town
Center) Zone District; and,
3. The site for the proposed valet parking use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate all yards, open spaces, setbacks, walls and fences, parking and
loading areas, fire and building code considerations, trash and recycling enclosures,
and other features pertaining to the application because the existing delivery zone
can safely and sufficiently accommodate vehicle drop-off and pick-up with the
implementation of the proposed management plan. The management plan would
ensure adequate accessibility for delivery vehicles, as well as maintain existing
traffic flows; and,
4. The proposed valet parking use and the on-going operation of the use are
compatible with abutting properties and the permitted uses thereof, and will not
generate excessive light, noise, vibration, odors, visual blight, traffic, or other
disturbances, nuisances, or hazards because the proposed valet parking will
facilitate parking for patrons of the downtown business, and will not cause any
additional traffic impacts beyond existing conditions; and
5. The site for the proposed valet parking use has adequate access and parking to
support the use because the parking structure will adequately accommodate the
proposed vehicle path of travel and parking locations used by valet parking
attendants, and vehicle drop-off and pick-up will be adequate by using the proposed
methods of parking management; and the use would not add additional parking
demand to the existing parking inventory, and would more efficiently use the existing
parking inventory.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning
Commission of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby approves the project subject to
those conditions of approval established by Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated
herein.
