Figure 2 (right) defines the zoning districts and the stand- ards for site development, design and land use. 2.2 -Zoning Districts and Intended Physical Character The properties subject to the HTC Master Plan are regulat- ed by one of the following zoning districts. Existing and/ or intended rights-of-way are subject to section 4.0, Block and Street Standards, of this code. A. Town Center (TC). The Town Center zoning district is applied to areas generally in the core of the HTC Master Plan area for the purpose of being the cultural, shopping, entertainment and civic core of San Juan Capistrano. B. Town Center Edge (TCE). The Town Center Edge zoning district is generally applied to areas along Avenida Del Obispo and to east boundary of the HTC Master Plan area. The Downtown Edge zoning district serves as the transition from the more intense Down- town to adjacent neighborhoods and corridor retail gaining access from Avenia Del Obispo. An important intention of this code as it relates to imple- menting the HTC Master Plan is to ensure that development and revitalization of the plan area results in positively add- ing to San Juan Capistrano's unique and distinctive physical character. Certain parcels are located such that they have two widely varying frontages. For example, one frontage is along a pedestrian -oriented street with village -scaled build- ings and the other is along either the railroad or Interstate 5. The frontage along the railroad or Interstate 5 is of a distinct character while required to present a visually pleasing en- vironment compatible with the area's village -scale. Sepa- rately and combined, the elements of this code define and guide the attainment of this goal. To ensure that this goal Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 is attained, a series of overlays have been identified. Each overlay has a particular purpose as described below: A. Railroad Overlay. The Railroad overlay is applied to areas approximately 150 feet east of the railroad right- of-way between Verdugo Street and approximately 500 feet north of Avenida del Obispo for the purpose of locating larger structures such as public garages that serve the Town Center and that are compatible with being located adjacent to the railroad while serv- ing as a transition to the scale of Camino Capistrano. B. Freeway Overlay. The Freeway overlay is applied to areas generally between of Avenida Del Obispo for the purpose of providing additional development poten- tial that is compatible with being located adjacent to Interstate 5 while serving as a transition to the scale of Avenida Del Obispo. C. Town Center Edge Overlay. The Town Center Edge Overlay consists of the Town Center Edge Zone and is applied to areas east and south of Avenida Del Obispo and interstates that are to remain in the General Com- mercial Zoning District until such time that one of the provisions in Section 2.3C applies as follows. 1. Cumulative expansion of floor area by 10% from the date of the adoption of this code, 2. Modification of property access; 3. The property is rezoned to remove the overlay and apply the Town Center Edge zoning. page 11 Figure 2.0- Regulating Plan: Zoning Districts and Overlays ■ Town Center District Town Center Edge District Community Park Zone See Table 2A for Zane/Overlay purpose state- ments.

Physical Character A variety of village -scale buildings shape the public street- scapes and private interior spaces. Buildings are 1 and 2 stories while only hotel uses may be up to 3 stories, mixed and single use, and are near or at the sidewalkto spatially define the streetscape. Camino Capistrano and Ortega Highway are the primary street frontages with new and revitalized street frontage east toward Avenida del Obispo. Streetscape / Public Realm The streetscape is in support of high pedestrian activity and consists of a range of permanent shade frontages such as ar- cades and galleries as well as shopfronts with wide awnings and shade trees. Wide sidewalks accommodate outdoor dining while providing for comfortable strolling. Land Use A variety of land use activities are allowed with a focus on specialty retail, restaurants, civic/cultural, hotels and confer- ence facilities, office and housing. Parking Parking is provided through a shared system of on -street and off-street spaces. Off-street spaces are a combination of grouped surface parking and strategically located public ga- rage spaces. Businesses using the shared system have lower parking requirements and contribute more developable building area than those businesses using private parking.

In addition, this section identifies the corresponding parking requirement for each use as allowed in the zoning districts. A. Allowed land uses. A parcel or building within the NTC Master Plan boundaries can be occupied by only the land uses allowed byTable2B of this code. Defi- nitions of listed land uses or'land use types' are in Appendix 1 of this code. If a land use is not defined in this section or in the SJCMC, the Director of Com- munity Development can determine the correct definition, giving deference to common usage. At the Director's discretion, the matter can be referred to the Planning Commission for direction. b. A land use that is listed in Table 2B but not within a particular zoning district is prohibited within that zoning district, except as otherwise allowed by subsection A.3 below. 3. Similar and compatible land use maybe allowed. The Director may determine that a pro- posed land use not listed in Table 2B is allowable as fallow,5-subject to the provisions of Title 9. 0 �G r 1. Establishment of an allowed land use.�� a. Any one or more land uses indentified by?ble 2B as being allowed within a specific zoning dis- trict may be established on any parcel within that zoning district, subject to the approval/permit requirement listed in Table 213, and in compliance with all applicable requirements of this code. b. If a parcel is proposed for development with two or more allowed land uses at the same time, the overall project is subject to the highest permit level required by Table 2B for any individual use. For example, a new mixed-use building proposed with a permitted use (P) on the second floor and a use requiring a conditional use permit (CUP) on the ground floor would require a conditional use permit approval for the entire project. 2. Land Use not listed. a. A land use not listed in Table 2B that is deter- mined by the Director to not be included in the definitions as a listed land use, is deemed pro- hibited within the HTC Master Plan boundaries, except as otherwise allowed by subsection A.3 below. €iodings-i writing: Tflhe !a,-- -'iSti�l PSIS etre ap 4. Permit -requirements and development stan- dards. When the Director determines that a pro- posed, but unlisted, land use is similar to a listed land use, the proposed land use will be treated in the same manner as the listed land use in determining where it is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and require- ments of this code apply. Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 page 19 B. Permit Requirements. Table 2B provides for land uses that are; 1. Permitted subject to compliance with all appli- cable requirements of this code. Permitted uses are identified in Table 2B as "P"; 2. Allowed subject to the approval of a Temporary Use Permit, subject to compliance with all applica- ble requirements of this code. Temporary permit- ted uses are identified in Table 2B as "TUP"; 3. Allowed subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, subject to compliance with all appli- cable requirements of this code. Conditionally permitted uses are identified in Table 2B as "CUP"; 4. For allowed land uses, Table 213 may identify addi- tional requirements based on how a particular land use is allowed in a zoning district. Such addi- tional requirements are identified in Table 2B by a number in parentheses (2) that is keyed to the notes in table 2B. 5. Prohibited in particular zoning district(s). Prohib- ited uses are identified in Table 2B as "X". C. Parking Requirements. Table 213 provides the require- ments for the quantity of parking each land use must provide in order to be approved by the City. Depend- ing upon the land use, this information is identified in terms of the number of parking spaces required per specified amount of floor area (,eg,1 space/350 CSF) or per dwelling (g .1s ace w Ilin unit), D. Additional Approvals and Requirements. Additional City approval requirements. Any land use that is identified as allowed in Table 2B may require other City permits, licenses, and approv- als, such as a building permit. It is the applicant's responsibility to comply with all applicable requirements and approvals. ' Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 2. Initiation of non-residential land use. The initia- tion of a non-residential land use in a mixed-use or five -work type of occupancy requires that a business license be obtained from the City. Before issuing the business license, the Director must determine that: a. the nature of the business, the goods being pro- duced, and the services being provided on the premises will not create an adverse impact on adjoining properties; b. the number and location of required parking spaces complies with the requirements of this code. page 20 2.0 Zoning Districts (CONTINUED) Table 2B LAND USE TYPE 1 PERMIT AND PARKING REQUIRED BY ZONE PARKING PARKIN( AGRICULTURAL USE TYPES Fruit/Agriculture Stand(s) AUTOMOTIVE / VEHICLE -RELATED USETYPES TUR 1/500 X NA F x 1/5ao E44F X960, Parts, sales, without installation X NA P 1/500 Parts, sales with installation X NA CUP. 1/500 Repair (minor) - lube/tune, window tinting x NA CUP 1/500 Vehicle leas! ng/rental x NA CUP 1/500 Vehicle storage, including RV's and Boats X NA CUP 1/1000 BOARDING AND LODGING 115ETYPES P 1/5100 P 1/3150 Bed and Breakfast Inn P 1/unit P 1/ unit Congregate Care Housing Facility CUP 1/3 units CUP 1/3 units Hotel (10) CUP I/ unit CUP 1/unit Conference Facility (10) CUP 1/350 CUP 1/350 EATING / DRINKING USE TYPES (2) P 1/250 �+ 1 Cafe, Delicatessen (no alcoholic beverage sales) P 1/5100 P 1/3150 Restaurant (without drive-through) P 1/5100 P 1/3150 Restaurant (with drive-through) X NA CUP(5) 1/100 Restaurant (can 41 V500 P 1/359 Brewpubs P 100 P Y-70-0 ENTERTAINMENT / RECREATION USETYPES (2) _ Adult oriented-bttstnes Auditorium, convention, a11,ki heat&.00) CHP CUP 1/100 x NA r NA x NA Billiard/Pool Hall`ai, ` -- CUP 1/200 P 1/200 Bowling Alley p; '` X NA P 1/504 Cultural Center P 1/500 X NA Health/Athletic Club P 1/250 P 1/250 Indoor Recreation Center xc_u P NAi 500 CUP 1/500 Library orMuseum (10) P 1/500 kP NA7 500 Ma3sage, Th, eranv` '-;E XCU_P— f4AIZ350 P 1/350 Skate Park or Rink TUP 1/500 CUP 1/500 Siot Car� x NA P a�359 Theater, Cinema (movie) P 1/100 SEP NAt 100 Theater, Stage P 1/100 1FP NAT 100 Live Entertainment Ci4P 1 100 CUP 1/100 Key to Table 2B Town Center Town Center Edge P Permitted Land Use Type Notes: CUP Conditionally Permitted Land Use Type (1) All land use types are subject to the applicable TUP Land Use Type permitted only as a temporary requirements of this code.

Frontage zones provide the stand- ards for how buildings shape the streetscape along the portion of the parcel's frontage along a right-of-way. Each streetscape subject to this code has specific requirements that further articulate development potential beyond the overall development standards in Table 2C. Figure 3 identifies the frontages and the parcels within each frontage zone. The properties and new/modified rights-of-way subject to the HTC Master Plan are regulated by one of the following frontage zones. Existing rights-of-way are subject to sec- tion 4.0, Block and Street Standards, of this code. Frontage Zone 1: Camino Capistrano and Ortega Highway. Frontages in the FR -1 zone are pedestrian oriented and for the purpose of accommodating ,, ground floor shopping, restaurants and other side- walk -dependent land uses. Buildings are near or at the sidewalk with massing that spatially defines the streetscape. This frontage zone is the most intense of the four frontage zones in the HTC Master Plan area. Allowed frontages provide pedestrians and storefronts with shade and open views into ground floors. Frontage Zone 2: Camino Real, Verdugo, Forster. Frontages in the FR -2 zone are pedestrian -oriented and for the purpose of accommodating ground floor shopping, restaurants and other sidewalk -dependent land uses. The FR -2 zone does not include the Historic Town Center Park frontage. Buildings are near or setback from the sidewalk with massing that spatially defines the streetscape and/or public open space. This frontage zone is the second most intense of the four frontage zones in the HTC Master Pian area. Allowed frontages vary from providing pedestrians and storefronts with shade and open views into ground floors to providing active building facades along public open space. Public Review draft 2 November 2010 3. Frontage Zone 3: Avenida del Obispo, Camino Capistrano (south). Frontages in the FR -3 zone are pedestrian -oriented and for the purpose of accommo- dating ground floor shopping, restaurants and other sidewalk -dependent land uses. Buildings are near or setback from the sidewalk with massing that spatially defines the streetscape. This frontage zone is the third most intense of the four frontage zones in the HTC Master Plan area. Allowed frontages vary from provid- ing pedestrians and storefronts with shade and open views into ground floors to providing active building facades along public open space. 4. Frontage Zone 4: Camino Capistrano (north), EI Camino Real (north), Spring Street. Frontages in the FR -4 zone range from pedestrian -oriented and for the purpose of accommodating ground floor shop- ping, restaurants and other sidewalk -dependent land uses to defining the edges of the historic mission and nearby properties. Buildings and/or existing perim- eter walls are near or setback from the sidewalk with massing that spatially defines the streetscape. This frontage zone is the least intense of the four frontage zones in the HTC Master Plan area. Allowed frontages vary from providing pedestrians and storefronts with shade and open views into ground floors to enclosing the private gardens on the historic mission. This section of the code is intended to maintain.L generate the private property portion of streetscapes throughout the HTC Master Plan code boundaries. Table 3A identifies the requirements for each allowed front- age.

Storefront and Awning is the frontage type for buildings with ground floor commercial/retail uses. The frontage is made by insertion of large openings filled with transpar- ent windows at the ground level facades. The facade is located near or at the property line. Recessed storefronts are allowed. The building entrance is at the grade of the sidewalk, and provides direct access to the commercial/ retail uses on the ground floor. The basic architectural elements comprising the storefront are large windows, doors with glass, clerestory glass, and a solid base (bulkhead). Optional elements include awn- ings, cantilevered shed roof or canopy, signage, lighting, and cornices. Awnings, shed roofs, or canopies are op- tional and may encroach into the public right-of-way and cover the sidewalk within a few feet of the curb. Awnings, signage, and other encroachments shall comply with this code for minimum height above sidewalk grade for safety. See standards table this page.

Forecourts are open or semi -enclosed areas adjacent to the sidewalk made from setting back a portion of the building facade from the front property Iine.Typically the setback portion is the middle section, which creates a small entry court. This can also be achieved by setting back the facade when a building's neighboring structures have zero set- back at their respective property fines. Forecourts may be combined with other Frontage Types as allowed by this code. Forecourts may be further defined by low walls or land- scape between the sidewalkand adjacent property line. Forecourts may be landscaped or paved. Landscape may include lawn, grasses, small shrubs, and accent trees with sufficiently transparent canopies to allow views of the building facade.

Design Standards The Terrace (doory&d) frontage sets back the building facade back from the front property line, and places an elevated garden or terrace in that setback. Terraces are enclosed by a low wall at or near the property line with a stair or ramp from the sidewalk up onto the terrace. The building activities are slightly separated from the adjacent sidewalk by the terrace height, and the depth of the terrace provides a buffer. The buffer provides clear area distinctions for commercial uses such as dining patios, and provides private yards and residences secure buffers from public encroachment.

Front Yard frontages have the building facade set back from the front property line in a dimension large enough to create a front yard which is continuous with neighboring yards. These yards are unfenced, visually continuous within a block, and thus create a common landscape. Porch and Stoop frontages may encroach into the setback area as allowed by this code.

Figure 4 - Regulating Plan and Block/Street Standards. Figure 4 establishes the public frontage and street right-of- way required to shape the streetscape in combination with the building frontages in section 3.0 of this code. This section provides two types of standards to generate / maintain the walkable blocks, streetscapes and intended village -scale physical character: block standards and street standards. A. Block Standards. Table 4A identifies the require- ments for block size. In addition, these standards work in combination with Figure 4 where intended alignments for new or modified streets are identified. B. Street Standards. Table 413 identifies the new or modified street types to be used throughout the code boundaries, as specified in Figure 4. These street types are applied regardless of whether or not a par- ticular street is public right-of-way or if it remains in private ownership. Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 Block Perimeter Min: 400 feet Block Perimeter Max: 2,400 feet Blocks must be defined only by the allowed street types identified in Table 4B. Sites exceeding 5 acres in size priorto or upon their con- solidation shall be divided to create at least two blocks.

Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 page 52 6.0 Architectural Style Standards (CONTINUED) A. Description The Mediterranean Revival style is a part of the vast Ec- lectic movement of 1890-1940 in the U.S.. Mediterranean Revival is the broad term which includes several architec-` tural styles including the Spanish Colonial Revival, Mission Revival, and Italianate. Inspired by precedents from Clas- sical, Medieval, and Renaissance periods, Mediterranean Revival draws from those origin periods and cultural tradi- tions - Spanish, North African Moorish, Italian, Greek. It also incorporates these same cultures' later colonial efforts in North and South America (1690-1800), which adapted to new indigenous climates, materials, and cultures. Public Review draft 2 November 2010 Mediterranean Revival is distinguished by its restrained, horizontal massing. Smooth plaster walls, light earth tone or off-white colors, deeply set windows and doors, and red file roofs [or flat roofs] make up the signature palette. The gen- erally bulky mass of the building is punctuated by rhythmic placement of deeply set windows and doors, which can be regular or syncopated. A regular rhythm is typically varied by window type or window treatment to prevent repetition. Color and decoration are used sparingly as compared with other styles, these items being reserved fro such details as wrought iron railings, grilles, and gates, or stone and colorful tile surrounds at key doors, windows, and water features. Shading is provided by the deeply recessed openings, as well as devices [arcades, galleries, overhangs, balconies, awnings] which are arranged as counterpoints to the austere building forms. page 53 L 1 -�uiowL D. Openings M E. Roof F. Architectural Elements 6.0 Architectural Style Standards (CONTINUED) A, Description Main Street Commercial is the generic stylistic title for a multi -story building found on most U.S. main streets (hence the term), town squares, and plazas. The style is derived from a number of historic precedents, including Spanish Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Victorian, Victorian Italianate, and Richardsonian Romanesque. While varying in stylistic details, the basis of the style is found in a simple, rectangular building form made up of logical, repetitive, and legible structural framework which is expressed ex- ternally by the rhythmic placement of structural elements, doors, windows, and storefronts. original building frame- works were of load-bearing masonry, but the style is easily adapted to steel, poured concrete, or wood. The building type and style proliferated in the late nine- teenth century when cities began densifying and housing was built over ground floor store fronts. The Main Street Commercial style building stands adjacent to others of similar building type (flex block, lined block, row house), with little or no side setbacks, thus forming a solid enclo- sure for the street or square. This means that only one facade (or two if located on a corner) need detailed design attention. The plane of the facade wall is articulated by expression of the structural underlayment by means of vertical protru- sions or setbacks defining columns and lintels. The facade is articulated into a base, a body, and a top, with the ground floor base being the tallest of the individual floors. The style tops the building with a flat roof line which is stopped visu- ally by a projecting cornice or articulated parapet (protrud- ing or recessed). The ground floor houses commercial uses such as offices or retail businesses, and therefore is quite open visually with expansive storefront windows and doors. Upper levels are punctuated with relatively smaller openings which belie their purpose for offices or apartments. Substantial materials express the civic nature of the style, using brick, stone, or heavy cementitious plaster.

Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 page 59 mc --d A ppp� 6.0 Architectural Style Standards (CONTINUED) A. Description Agricultural Heritage style is based on structures built specifi- cally for agricultural purposes in the U.S. during the 19th century, This tradition is found in San Juan Capistrano and in California. Using the forms, materials and colors of these purposeful precedents in new buildings, where appropriate, helps maintain a continuum of the vernacular of the region. Buildings utilizing this style would be made of simple, limited forms (1 form for 1 use), typically rectangular, with a pitched metal roof, and sheathed in wood or metal siding. There is lit- tle architectural ornament, with functional building elements providing the detail to the building, These would include items such as roof, rafter tails, ridge beams (protruding), over- hangs & struts, lanterns, clerestories, exposed columns, and exposed foundations. Colors used for these structures were traditionally muted, as the paints were derived from milk and a minimal amount of pigment. Original agricultural buildings were single purpose-built for distinct agricultural processes, and hence, this was not a style. The buildings represent a distinct change in architecture for the region in the 1800's. Several factors changed the way Californians built, shifting from handmade masonry Span- ish Colonial buildings, to the more expedient wood "balloon framed" buildings. The Gold Rush of 1849, the Homestead Act of 1862, and the development of the rail roads brought property ownership for new waves of citizens, displaced na- tive peoples, and changed settlement patterns. Houses were made quickly of wood to establish the farming homestead, Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 3 ' e "IMP. . _ and were either placed in a rural pattern of isolated farmsteads, or in loose townships. This was in contrast to Spanish Colonial and Eastern US patterns of contained urban villages with farm- lands beyond. During the period of change, new -comers built from their memories of the East or Midwest, or used simple technical manuals called "pattern books". Both these manners changed the style and method of building, with pioneers using the "balloon frame" technique in the 1840's and 1850's. Buildings were made of wood which was mill -cut, in standardized board sizes, and fastened with standard, manufactured nails. This was a much faster way to build than using the traditional masonry. It allowed anyone to easily build the framework of the house which was then covered with siding. Along with the "pattern books" and balloon framing came the firm tradition of agricultural buildings and methods of farming in the East and Mid West. Farming there had established a tra- dition of purpose-built structures made with no adornment and with materials found readily at hand. Structures were pragmat- ic, and generally constructed for a distinct, single purpose, such as silos to hold grain, barns to house livestock, water cisterns to collect water, etc.. As most locations had access to trees, lum- ber became the primary material for agricultural out -buildings. Rail road development increased access to mechanized wood working tools, and to light metals, which helped create more standardized shapes/forms, more weather -tight techniques, and more long-lasting roofing/siding methods. page 61 € a wi vvkhout additional volurnes attached matefials kvHeh is in keeping with the funetion dFiven in a 1 volume, and L.......I c... at., rnanne..

He and the English Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society inspired U.S. architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Gustav Stickley, and brothers Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena, Cali- fornia who evolved the style. This style treated all parts of the home - both exterior and interior - as artwork, focusing on honest use and detailing of natural materials such as redwood, stone, brick, tile, and copper. Greene and Greene Architects designed the paradigmatic works which are located in Pasadena. They also designed modest, inexpen- sive and low -profile bungalow homes in the region. Popular magazines of the time (1904), such as Good House- keeping, made the style familiar to the general public. Pat- tern book makers, in turn, made the Craftsman style house the most reproduced style in the country. Pre-cut lumber packages soon became available as well to assist contrac- tors in building the style. Craftsmans' interior/exterior space relationship and its adaptability to varying weather conditions allowed regional variations to easily occur, thus increasing its popularity.

Roofs are large, low-pitched forms, and vary from 3:12 to 6:12. In larger two story versions, it is common for gabled roofs to have a high pitch as much as 10:12. Roof eaves project a minimum of 2' over the wall, and have exposed rafter tails. Gable roof projections are supported by large timber braces or extended beams. Walls receive horizontally oriented wood siding or shingles, and the foundation base is expresses with stucco, brick or river stone. Windows and doors are vertical in proportion, and are com- bined into horizontal patterns. They are trimmed in large scale wood. page 65 The Art Moderne is also called Streamline Moderne and American Deco. The style was utilized from 1920 to 1940. It derived from two sources: 1) Eliel Saarinen's competition design for the Chicago Tribune headquarters in Chicago which was largely of the precedent style Art Deco, and 2) the streamlined graphic arts and industrial design for ships, planes, autos, and even household appliances which evolved `Saarinen's designs. Smooth surfaces, curved corners, and horizontal emphasis gave the impression of smooth movement through a stream of air, hence the term streamlined. Initially, Art Moderne style was applied to commercial building types such as airport terminals, railroad depots, and other transportation -related buildings. It then became popular enough to grace public institutional buildings, and eventually single family homes. While not contributing any evolution to floor plans or construction technology, the style represents still a merging of the machine age in U.S. building styles. Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 B. Characteristics Building massing is a simple rectangle or square with horizontal proportions in one and two story volumes. The massing is asymmetrical. Additional volumes are sometimes attached to the main mass, which receive independent roof forms. There are no porches typically on this style. Roofs are flat and hidden by parapet walls. Parapet wall edges are usually defined by a small protruding ledge (cop- ing) at roof line. These are sometimes covered in metal with a striated, or linear pattern. Walls are smooth stucco, with rounded corners at main volumes. Horizontal grooves or lines are recessed into wall plaster. Details include steel pipe balustrades give additional hori- zontal emphasis. Windows and doors are horizontal in proportion, and are continuous around corners. They are made of metal. Glass blocks are used for windows or entire portions of walls, and occasionally round windows are found in elevational compositions. page 66 General Requirements This section provides standards for particular elements of buildings/sites as well as certain operational standards to ensure a consistent and high level of quality in building design, materials, and operations.

Public Review Draft 2November 2O1O Al Definitions This appendix to the HTC Code provides definitions of terms and phrases used in the Code that are technical or special- ized, or that may not reflect common usage. If any of the definitions in this chapter conflict with definitions in Ap- pendix A of the San Juan Capistrano Municipal Code or other City provisions, these definitions shall control for all property and rights-of-way subject to the HTC Code. If a word is not defined in this appendix, or in other provisions of the San Juan Capistrano Municipal Code, the Development Services Director shall determine the correct definition through a writ- ten interpretation presented to the Planning Commission. 1. Terms and phrases. As used in the HTC Code, each of the following terms and B phrases shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this appendix, unless the context in which they are used clearly requires otherwise. 2. Land use type classifications. The land use types listed in Table 3 shall be defined as pro- vided in the City's Zoning Code (Use Type Classifications), except for use types that are defined in this appendix which are identified as"land use types." A Accessory Dwelling: an apartment not greater than 500 square feet sharing ownership and utility connec- tions with a principal building. An accessory dwelling may or may not be within an outbuilding. on the 5afne pafee�- (e.g,, nllee! a Few _1 .Fa��_ nted along a Thefetig� Walkway: h€are with one, shared iane and me p--. 1-H., _,;-d -A intended for servleeand/er5l eandary access purposes: Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 Bicycle Lane: an identified area, usually by white lines, that is part of the vehicular roadway that allows bicycle use. Bicycle Path: a dedicated area, paved in a variety of materials (e.g., asphalt to decomposed granite) that is non -traversable by vehicles and is often shared with, pedestrians. Building Function: the land use type(s) accommo- dated by a building and its lot, as allowed byTable 3. page 74 C Building Placement: the maximum horizontal enve- lope available for placing a building on a lot as identi- fied in Tables 4.1 and 4.2. Build -to Layer: the required location of a building facade as identified in Tables 4.1 and 4.2. Building Size: the specified length, depth, and height of any individual and combined volumes as specifed in Tables 4.1 and 4.2. buildings that align the space. Colonnade; a series of columns similar to an arcade but spanned by straight lintels rather than arches, linked together, usually as an element of a building. Commercial Recreation Facility, Indoor (land use type): establishments providing indoor amuse- ment and entertainment serv4ces for a fee or admission charge, including: • • bowling alleys • coin-operated amusement arcades • dance halls, clubs and ballrooms • electronic game arcades (video games, pinball, etc.) • ice skating and roller skating • internet/cyber caf6 • pool and billiard rooms as primary uses Four or more electronic games or coin-operated Bulkhead: A law paFtitiOM leeated between the side amusements in any establishment, or a premises walkadjaeent to a building and the building's glazed where 50 percent or more of the floor area is occupied epeR�M{.by amusement devices, are considered an electronic game arcade as described above; three or fewer ma- chines are not considered a land use separate from the S. primary use of the site. This use does not include adult Civic Building(s): a structure operated by not-for- profit organizations dedicated to arts, culture, educa- tion, recreation, government, transit, and municipal parking, or for use approved by the legislative body. Carriage House (also referred to as `accessory dwelling`): an attached or detached walk-up access dwelling which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and which is located or established on or adjacent to the garage of the same lot on which a single-family house is located. Such a dwelling may contain permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation. This defini- tion includes'grannyflats. Civic: the term defining not-for-profit organizations dedicated to the arts, culture, education, government, transit and municipal parking facilities. Civic Space: an open area dedicated for public use, typically for community gatherings, physically defined by the intended use(s), size, landscape and by the businesses which are regulated under SJCMC Chapter 27, Title 5. Commercial Frontage: the non-residential, ground floor frontage of a building. Non-residential activities subject to City approval are allowed within this space, which must be at least 25 feet in depth as measured from the adjacent public sidewalk or public space. Context: the particular combination of elements that create a specific physical environment. A zoning district in the NTC Code is administratively similar to the land -use zones in the SJCMC zoning ordinance, ex- cept that in addition to specifying the allowed height, required setbacks and building uses, all the relevant elements and characteristics of the intended physical environment are identified and integrated into the regulations. Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 page 75 Al Definitions C Curb: the edge of the vehicular pavement detailed as a raised curb or a swale. Design Speed: the velocity at which a Thoroughfare can be comfortably driven without the constraints of signage or enforcement. For the purposes of design speed, there are 4 general ranges of speed. Very Low: below 20mph, Low: 20-25mph, Moderate: 25-35mph and High: above 35mph. Design speed determines the character and context for a particular segment of the Thoroughfare system. Developable Lot Area: those areas of a site that are not required as building setbacks, driveway access or open space. Driveway:. a vehicular lane within a lot, usually lead- ing to a garage. Dwelling, Multi -Family (land use type): a build- ing designed for occupancy with 2 or more dwellings. Dwelling Unit Types: the individual dwelling configuration(s) within a building; , • Flat: A single -story unit. • Loft: A double -story height unit with a mezzanine. • Townhouse: A two to three-story unit. • Apartment: A rental or ownership version of a Flat, Loft, orTownhouse. Elevation (Building): the exterior walls of a building not along a frontage. Also referred to as'Facade' when the elevation is along a frontage line. Enfront: the placement of an element such as a build- ing facade. Entrance (Principal): the principal point of pedes- trian access to a building. The principal entrance is typically along the building's primary frontage, a public streetscape or open space. In the case of a paseo Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 which may be private, the principal entry may occur off such a space provided that the space is in compliance with Section 5.0. Entrance (Secondary); point(s) of pedestrian access to a building in addition to the principle entrance. Such entrances may occur anywhere along a build- ing's exterior when in compliance w1 aapplicable requirements. F Fabric Building: a building which is not civic or is otherwise typical of buildings in the overall context and which contributes to the forming of public space by being contextual to emphasize civic and commu- nity buildings. Facade; the exterior wall of a building that is set along a frontage line. Facades support the public realm and are subject to frontage requirements additional to those required of elevations which are not set along frontage lines. Forecourt: see'Frontage Types' Frontage Line (Streetscape): those lot lines that coincide with a right-of-way or a private easement for a street, paseo or open space. One frontage line shall be designated as the Principal Frontage Line. Facades along Frontage Lines define the public streetscape or adjacent open space and are therefore more highly regulated than the elevations that coincide with other lot lines. Frontage Type: the architectural element of a build- ing between the public right-of-way and the private property associated with the building. Frontage Types page 76 combined with the public realm create the perceptible streetscape. The frontage types used in the HTC Code are described below in the order that they appear in the Code: Gallery: this frontage is composed of a building where the facade is aligned on the principal front- age line, and includes an attached cantilevered shed or a roof or deck supported by a colonnade overlapping the sidewalk. Galleries may be two stories in height, with the upper portion of the gallery being open loggias or decks. Storefront and Awning: this frontage is made by insertion of large openings filled with transpar- ent windows at the ground level facades. The facade is located near or at the principal frontage line. The building entrance is at the grade of the sidewalk, and provides direct access to the com- mercial/retail uses on the ground floor. The basic architectural elements comprising the storefront are large windows, doors with glass, clerestory glass, and a solid base or'bulkhead'. Optional ele- ments include awnings, cantilevered shed roof or canopy, signage, lighting, and cornices. Awnings, shed roofs, or canopies may encroach into the public right-of-way and cover the sidewalk within a few feet of the curb.. Forecourt: this frontage consists of an open or semi -enclosed areas adjacent to the sidewalk made by setting back a portion of the building facade from the principal frontage Iine.Typi- cally the setback portion is the middle section, which creates a small entry court. This can also be achieved by setting back the facade when a building's neighboring structures have zero set- back at their respective property lines. Forecourts may be combined with other frontage types as Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 allowed by Section 5.0. Stoop: this frontage consists of exterior stairs with landings which provide access to buildings located near or at the principal frontage line. The ground floor of the building is raised to provide some privacy for the rooms facing the public street and passersby. This frontage is ideal for ground floor housing. Walled Yard: this frontage consists of decora- tive and thematic walls at or near a frontage line for the purpose of enclosing an open space near the frontage or for enclosing service areas along the rear of a lot near a frontage. Buildings or entries within 10 feet of this frontage are joined with the wall to visually extend the architecture of the building and to demarcate the property boundary while positively shaping the adjacent streetscape. • Terrace (dooryard) this frontage is made by setting back the building facade back from the principal frontage line, and placing an elevated garden or terrace in that setback. Terraces are enclosed by a low wall at or near the property line with a stair or ramp from the sidewalk up onto the terrace. The building activities are slightly separated from the adjacent sidewalk by the ter- race height, and the depth of the terrace provides a buffer. The buffer provides clear area distinc- tions for commercial uses such as dining patios, and provides secure buffers for private yards and residences from public encroachment. Porch and fence: this frontage consists of a building with a front set back from the principal frontage line, and a porch attached to it, and a low fence or wall at or near the property line. This frontage encroaches into the front setback. This frontage provides the necessary physical separa- tion for the private lot from the public sidewalk, while maintaining visual connection between buildings and the public space of the street. Front Yard: this frontage consists of the building facade being set back from the principal front- age line in a dimension large enough to create a page 77 Al Definitions G front yard which is continuous with neighboring yards. These yards are unfenced, visually continu- ous within a block, and thus create a common landscape. Gallery: see'FrontageTypes' R5 14ISTORICTOWN CENTER CODE San Juan Capistrano, California Public Review Graft 2 November 2010 Infill Development: a site seamlessly developed within an existing village -scale fabric, balancing, com- pleting and/or repairing the surrounding areas. Inside Turning Radius: the curved edge of a thor- oughfare at an intersection, measured at the inside edge of vehicular tracking. The smaller the turning ra- dius, the smaller the pedestrian crossing distance and the more slowly the vehicle is forced to make the turn. Control of the curb radius is an important variable in the fostering of a pedestrian -friendly environment. J (reserved) page 78 K (reserved) Liquor Store (land use type): a retail store that primarily sells wine, beer, and/or spirits, that may spe- cialize in one or more of the above, and may also sell convenience merchandise including food products. n�i f .,, that legally " ` r ly IP"_plan. _ FPW-% J i R9"W MTrl9 Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 "G)ffiiees T fefesj roval/Ac mist itivim Medical Serviices, Extended Care (land use health feiated"v5e with ri-n-patient HeFnesf ! extended Earefacolot"e5, and skilled nursing facilities. 1=ang term peFsanal EaFe "ties that do not emphasize medical N Neighborhood Market/Conven-ence Store of 5,099 square feet or le55 iM TeS5 f!E)E)F aFea, which beveFage sales ag allowed by the 1 ITC Code.

This approach is based on an accounting for parking spaces that are available to more than one function that varies accord- ing to multiple functions in close proximity unlikely to require the spaces at the same time. Paseo (also referred to as'passage','prom- enade'): a public place or path designed for walking. Pedestrian First: the practice of addressing the needs of people, once out of their automobiles, through a series of interdependent urban design and streetscape principles (e.g., traffic -calming, wide sidewalks, street trees and shade, on -street parking, outdoor dining, inviting storefronts, the feeling of page 80 being in an'outdoor room, short crosswalk distances, interconnected and short blocks). baitbef and beauty 5hep5 e ..- Fental pick Up Stffes with hmited equipment hefne electronics and 5mail ri pliance repaif - lock5rnith5 -fffWne e"ers -palrft ar�r3-rard-vers pet gfeeFninq with no boaFdiflg psyehies -5hee Pepair shop -sailers I-.. .-.,Jf...... ass (self service IaHn.lHes) PaWRShep,5 spas and het tubs foF heuf'y rentai -tattee and body pferciflg servit� tanning salons Planter: the portion of the streetscape which accom- modates street trees.

Public Review Draft 2 November 2010 Appendix Al: definitions Private Frontage:. the privately held layer between the frontage line and the principal building facade which includes the depth of the setback and the com- bination of architectural elements such as front yards, fences, stoops, porches; forecourts, shopfronts and galleries. Public Art: visual or performing art fortemporary or permanent display in a public place, within a public right-of-way or public building, subject to City require- ments. Public Frontage (also referred to as 'streetscape'): the area between the frontage line and the edge of a public open space, paseo or curb of the vehicular lanes which includes the type and dimension of curbs, walks, planters, street trees and streetlights. Public Garage ("park -once" facility): a parking lot or garage which provides the public with parking spaces for commercial, service and office uses. Public Realm ('streetscape'): the combination of building facades, building frontages, signage, land- scape, trees, sidewalks, streets and the activity within these areas that generate the physical character as viewed within the public right-of-way.

Streetscapes vary in response to their intended physical character and context. Streetwall: a term referring to the vertical mass of an individual building or the combination of several build- ings that shape the streetscape. Streetscreen: a hedge or an opaque, freestanding wall built along the frontage line, or coplanar with the facade, often for the purpose of masking a park- ing lot or service area from public view. Streetscreens are between 3.5 and 8 feet in height-, and constructed of a material matching the adjacent building facade. Streetscreens may have openings no larger than neces- sary to allow automobile and pedestrian access. Terminated Vista: as identified in Figure 5, an im- portant view at the end of a street / paseo or across an open space that provides additional visual interest. A terminated vista can be as simple as an enhanced area of the building facade at an intersection, a view down a Streetscape of surrounding hillsides, or as complex as modulated building heights and detailing in response to the vista being terminated. Terrace: see'Frontage Types' Thoroughfare (also referred to as'street'): a vehicular way incorporating moving lanes and parking lanes (except alleys/lanes which have no parking lanes) within a right-of-way or private easement.
