Whereas, the Planning Commission conducted a duly -noticed public
meeting on October 23, 2007 pursuant to the provisions of Title 9, Land Use Code, Section
9-2.339, Public Meeting Procedures, Administrative Policy 409, and Planning Department

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of
the City of San Juan Capistrano does hereby make the following findings:
(a) The project plans comply with all provisions of Title 9 of the San Juan Capistrano
Municipal Code because Title 9 establishes the basis for the "SP" (Specific
Plan/Precise Plan) and Specific Plan 85-01, Kinoshita Farm provides that the City
will establish development standards as part of the development plan review
process, and the project has been designed to be compatible with the community
center complex; and,
(b) The architectural and general design of the project is generally consistent with the
-goals, policies and objectives of the Community Design Element and all other
applicable provisions of the General Plan because the project has been designed
consistent with the applicable provisions of the Architectural Design Guidelines;
and,
(c) The site plan is compatible with surrounding existing and proposed land uses
because proposed conditions of approval will require that operational provisions be
added to the Memorandum of Understanding to address the operational impacts of
the project; and,
(d) The general design considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the
design are consistent with the adopted Architectural Design Guidelines because the
proposed design incorporates building massing, roof plan, and color and materials
that are compatible with the design of the existing community center complex; and,
(e) The site plan is functional and safe in regards to existing or mitigated off-site
conditions as they relate to adequacy of vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation
because the site plan accommodates pedestrian walkways, provides for bicycle
storage, and the traffic report prepared by the City determined the project would
have no significant impact on the service levels of the two main intersections, Del
Obispo Street/Camino del Avion and Del Obispo Street/Alipaz street; and,
(f) The general landscape design, including the location, type, size, color, texture and
coverage of plant materials has been considered to insure visual relief to
complement buildings and structure and the project will provide for re -landscaping
the existing median at the southwest corner of the addition, and will prepare and
implement a landscape plan for the existing community center courtyard.
