Staff Presentation:
The Director of Community Planning and Development
summarized the proposed amendment, noting that the capital
projects were added as a result of an agreement with the
Capistrano unified School District; that although the San
Juan School site was included on the list, the decision to
redevelop the site could only be made by the School District
and the Agency's role would be to move forward with whatever
private uses might be proposed. He stressed that listing
the school site in the capital improvements does not mandate
development of the site.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor
Hausdorfer opened the Public Hearing and the following
person responded:
(1) Tim Campbell, 31574 Los Rios Street, read a statement
opposing the possible destruction of the San Juan
School and suggesting that Buchheim Field and the
school site not be included or considered in the
Redevelopment Plan. He expressed appreciation for the
cooperation extended to the Save Our School Committee
and requested they be kept apprised of developments
regarding the school.
There being no further response, Mayor Hausdorfer closed the
Hearing with the right to re -open at any time.
Council/Agency Discussion:
Council advised of their—awareness of the desires and needs
of the community with regard to the San Juan School, but
stated that inclusion of the site on the list of capital
improvement projects was a planning tool that would be
useful in dealing with the site should the School District
decide it is no longer needed as a school facility.
