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.

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. She noted that projected costs had not yet been
determined, and it would be at the Agency's discretion when
funds should be budgeted.
Public Hearincx:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor/Director
Friess opened the Public Hearing, and the following persons
responded:
(1) Kathy Holmes, 31851 Paseo La Branza, Vice Chairman of
the Parks and Recreation Commission, expressed
appreciation for the revision to the condition regarding
the relocation of existing recreational facilities.
(2) Mark Clancey, 31982 Via de Linda, representing Friends
of Historic San Juan Capistrano, voiced his strong
support of the concept project and the relocation of the
basketball courts on-site.

There being no further response, the hearing was declared
closed with the right to reopen at any time.
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:
