JOINT PUBLIC HEARING WITH CITY COUNCIL - PROPOSED CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN (400.20) Proposal: Consideration of the concept Civic Center Master Plan for the old Capistrano High School site, located on the east side of Camino Capistrano between La Zanja and Acjachema Street. The purchase of the Plan was to assess the existing features of the property, the potential for preserving historic elements, to provide direction on the location of potential new buildings, and to assess the compatibility of existing, proposed and new structures in relationship to the site. The plan was reviewed and forwarded by the appropriate boards and commissions with a recommendation of approval. Written Communication: Report dated June 4, 1991, from the Community Development Manager, summarizing the plan and the revisions recommended by the various commissions and boards. -3- 6/4/91 Cassandra Walker, Community Development Manager, made an oral presentation, discussing the requirement that the existing basketball courts to be relocated on-site and functional as soon as possible after their removal. She further discussed the inclusion of a Mitigation Program to address the impacts outlined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The concept site plan and an aerial photograph were on display. Paul Zafen of the IBI Group, the project consultant, stated that the proposed concept plan does not represent the exact architecture that will be used, but does represent the essential elements to maintain the quality and character of San Juan Capistrano. He discussed the need to address the history and architectural qualities of the Mission, the need for the public plaza, and the importance of using pedestrian scale in keeping with the residential aspect of the neighborhood. Director Friess requested that the Mitigation Program revise wording to require relocation of the existing recreational facilities elsewhere on-site. He stated his feeling that the Civic Center and the Historic Town Center should be treated as one large project and that design of the Civic Center should not proceed until financing has been established. Director Jones noted the letter received from Roy Nunn, member of the Design Review Commission, citing concerns regarding the process and financing for the project. Ms. Walker advised that the approved concept plan would be presented to the Capistrano Unified School District's Board of Directors.

Board Discussion: Director Vasquez questioned whether there was a need for a new Civic Center in the City and whether the project could be accomplished financially. Director Friess stated that although the Civic Center has not been a high priority for the City over the years, it was important to move forward with the project. He stated there are ways to finance both the Civic Center and the Historic Town Center projects, and empha- sized that the project's design would not commence until financing was established. Director Hausdorfer emphasized the importance of moving the public business toward the center of town. Director Jones and Chairman Buchheim concurred. Director Friess made the following additional suggestions: (1) With regard to the design of the Civic Center, the Civic Center's architecture should blend in with that of the surrounding library, church, and the school site. (2) The City should negotiate with the School District to allow a transition of some of the services into the school building so that City departments can gradually move into the new site as it is being built. (3) The possible establishment of a privately funded Boys and Girls Club, which may be located close to the new Civic Center, should be integrated with the recreational activities on-site. Approval of Civic Center- aster Plan, Confirmation of_Miti4ated Negative Declaration. and Approval of Mitigation Program: It was moved by Director Buchheim, seconded by Director Hausdorfer, that the following Resolution be adopted approv- ing the Civic Center Master Plan, confirming the issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, and approving the Mitigation Program, with the added condition that the existing recreational facilities shall be relocated elsewhere on-site and functional as soon as possible: ]RESOLUTION NO.
