Recitals. The above recitations are true and correct and are adopted as the findings of the City Council. SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council on May 15, 2018, adopted the Final IS/MND, along with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, for the Project, as fully set forth in Resolution No. 18-05-15-01. That Resolution is incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Further, the requirements of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are hereby imposed as conditions of approval on the Development Agreement. The documents and other materials that constitute the record are located in City Hall at 32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano, California and the custodian of record of proceedings is the Development Services Department Administrative Specialist. SECTION 3. Findinas, The City Council of the City of San Juan Capistrano makes the following findings: 1. The proposed Development Agreement is authorized and consistent with the provisions of Government Code Sections 65864 et seq. and related City ordinances and policies. 2. The proposed Development Agreement is consistent with the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan and complies with its objectives and policies. Specifically, the Development Agreement and the development contemplated therein are consistent with and implement the following objectives and policies of the General Plan: The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the overall goals and policies of the General Plan because it establishes a land use designation governed by a specific plan, and the proposed land uses, development standards and design elements of that Specific Plan (SP 18-001) are consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan including: Land Use Element Land Use Goal 1: Develop a balanced land use pattern to ensure that revenue generation matches the City's responsibility for provision and maintenance of public services and facilities. 2 01057 Changing the designation of the site to Specific Plan to accommodate residential development that can accommodate up to 180 units would allow residents of a future development to contribute to an increase in retail sales revenue and related City sales tax receipts at local dining, shopping and tourist-oriented venues. This increase in sales tax revenue would allow for the City to maintain and improve public services and facilities within the City. Furthermore, the General Plan recognizes that the City has an oversupply of commercial uses serving the local community. The General Plan states that some of the centers are underutilized due to "the small local population", and that many are not well maintained, which has a negative visual impact on the community. Future residents of the new development would help to facilitate Land Use Goal 1. Policy 1.1: Encourage a land use composition in San Juan Capistrano that provides a balance or surplus between the generation of public revenues and the cost of providing public facilities and services. The proposed project would contribute to the project's fair share of public facility and utility costs through payment of Development Impact Fees. Additionally, property taxes generated as a result of project implementation would go to the City's General Fund, from which the City utilizes revenue to fund public services and utilities. Furthermore, the accompanying Development Agreement assures that the maintenance of the proposed 0.5 acre public park and trail will be maintained by the future Home Owners Association (HOA). This will benefit the public as the maintenance costs of the public amenities will be covered by the developer and/or HOA. GOAL 2: Control and direct future growth within the City to preserve the rural village-like character of the community. The proposed project would develop the site with single-family residential uses that would be developed at a maximum of 180 dwelling units with a minimum lot size of 4,000 square feet and would be a maximum of two stories in height. Residences proposed as part of the project would be consistent with the density and nature of residential uses adjacent to and nearby the site. The project would also include a multi-use trail (i.e., pedestrian, bicycling, and equestrian uses) that would connect Del Obispo Street to Via Positiva. The provision of the multi-use trail would encourage bicycle, equestrian, and pedestrian uses, avoiding 3 01057 transportation by automobile, and serve to preserve a more rural character on the site. Policy 2.1: Continue controlling growth through the implementation of the City's residential growth management program. The project-related increase in population would represent less than 2 percent of the City's existing and projected population through the year 2040. New development facilitated as a result of project approval would be required to comply with the City's Residential Growth Management Program (1976). Specifically, new building permits issued following the approval of Subdivision and Development applications would be reviewed by City staff for consistency with the growth program, which currently limits new residential building permits to 400 per year. Therefore, the proposal would be consistent with said policy. Policy 2.2: Assure that new development is consistent and compatible with the existing character of the City. The project would allow for the development of a residential community that would be consistent in use and character with surrounding development, including surrounding residential uses. The proposed Specific Plan would also include design guidelines that would ensure consistency in visual character between the proposed project and surrounding development. For example, the proposed residences would be developed in the Classic California Spanish architectural style to ensure consistency with the City's landmark architectural heritage. GOAL 3: Distribute additional population within the City based on risk factors. The project site is located within a valley area and is not located within a high-risk fire, geologic, or flooding area. The General Plan recognizes that future densities of population could be allocated to the valley areas of the City outside of the floodplain. Policy 3.1: Confine higher density land uses to the valley areas outside of the floodplain. The proposed project would allow for the development of single- family residential uses with a medium density. The project site is located within FEMA Flood Zone X, which is an area determined to be outside of the 0.2 percent annual chance (500-year) floodplain. 4 01057 As such, the project would not develop the site with high-density land uses in areas prone to flooding. GOAL 4: Preserve major areas of open space and natural features. The project site has previously been considered for purchase and permanent retention as open space or agriculture and was twice eliminated from further consideration during the City's evaluation process associated with the passage of general obligation bonds for the purchase of open space. The permanent retention of the site for open space was in conflict with the surrounding development and with the City's goals for orderly and balanced land use development as buildout occurs, including the City's General Plan Land Use Element Policy 7.2, which encourages new development to be compatible with the physical characteristics of its site, surrounding land uses, and available public infrastructure. Furthermore, the project site is not designated or considered open space. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with Goal 4 of the Land Use Element. Policy 7.2: Ensure that new development is compatible with the physical characteristics of its site, surrounding land uses, and available public infrastructure. The proposed Specific Plan includes development standards and design guidelines, which would ensure that new development on the site would be cohesive with existing surrounding development. Additionally, the development of single-family residential uses on the site would be consistent with existing residential uses adjacent to and nearby the site. Circulation Element GOAL 1: Provide a system of roadways that meets the needs of the community. The proposed Specific Plan includes an internal roadway that would connect driveways off Del Obispo Street and Via Positiva to ensure adequate connectivity between other internal project roadways and the surrounding arterial system. New internal roadways included as part of the Specific Plan would be laid out at the time Subdivision and Development applications are proposed. Furthermore, a traffic impact analysis, which is part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration finds that the project would result in less than significant impacts on the local roadway system, and no mitigation 5 01057 would be required. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with Goal 1 of the Circulation Element. GOAL 3: Provide an extensive public bicycle, pedestrian, and equestrian trails network. Implementation of the proposed project would allow for a network of lighted pedestrian walkways and a multi-use trail that would support pedestrian, equestrian, and bicycle users. The proposed project multi-use trail would connect the proposed residential community with local public recreation amenities, including the existing Ecology Center off Alipaz Street. Housing Element Policy 2.1: Consistent with the Land Use Element, encourage the construction of a variety of housing types and sizes of housing throughout the community. The proposed project would allow for the development of a medium-density residential community on the project site, which would serve to add to the variety of housing types available throughout the City. Conservation and Open Space Element GOAL 5: Shape and guide development in order to achieve efficient growth and maintain community scale and identity. The proposed project would allow for the development of up to 180 single-family residential units on the project site that would accommodate population growth in the City. All residences developed on the site would be developed in a manner that would be consistent with the character and scale of existing development surrounding the site, be constructed in the Classic California Spanish architectural style, and be consistent with the development standards and design guidelines in the proposed Specific Plan. Furthermore, future development applications will be subject to the City's Architectural Control (AC) procedures involving extensive review of proposals by the City's Design Review Committee followed by the Planning Commission to ensure future development proposals meet Goal 5. Public Services and Utilities Element GOAL 6: Provide sufficient levels of water and sewer service. 6 01057 The City's Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) indicates that there are sufficient water resources to meet full service demands through the year 2040. Specifically, the project-related demand for water would represent an incremental increase in water demand through the year 2040 (1.2 percent of current and projected water supplies through the year 2040. Additionally, wastewater generated as a result of project implementation would represent 0.7 percent of the remaining treatment capacity of the J.B. Latham Wastewater Treatment Plant. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with Goal 6 of the Public Services and Utilities Element GOAL 7: Work effectively with providers of natural gas, electricity, telephone, cable television and solid waste disposal to provide sufficient levels of these services. The proposed project would be served by existing natural gas, electricity, telephone, cable, and solid waste facilities. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with Goal 7 of the Public Services and Utilities Element. SECTION 4. Approval and Adoption.

In connection with any subsequently imposed Development Approvals and except as specifically provided otherwise herein,CITY may exercise its discretion in accordance with the Land Use Regulations then in effect, as provided by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Reservation of Rights. CITY shall accept for processing, review, and action, all applications for subsequent development approvals,and such applications shall be processed in the same manner and the CITY shall exercise its discretion, when required or authorized to do so, to the same extent it would otherwise be entitled in the absence of this Agreement. 3.3 Reservation of Rights. 3.3.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following regulations shall apply to the development of the Property: (a) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by CITY to cover the estimated actual costs to CITY of processing applications for Development Approvals or for monitoring compliance with any Development Approvals granted or issued.

(d) Regulations imposing Development Exactions; provided, however, -10- 10306-0005\2192642 A doc that no such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall be applicable to development of the Property unless such Development Exaction is applied uniformly to development,either throughout the CITY or within a defined area of benefit which includes the Property. No such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall apply if its application to the Property would physically prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in the Development Plan. (e) Regulations that may be in material conflict with this Agreement but that are reasonably necessary to protect the residents of the project or the immediate community from a condition perilous to their health or safety. To the extent possible,any such regulations shall be applied and construed so as to provide OWNER with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement. (f) Regulations that are not in material conflict with this Agreement or the Development Plan. Any regulation,whether adopted by initiative or otherwise,limiting the rate or timing of development of the Property shall be deemed to materially conflict with the Development Plan and shall therefore not be applicable to the development of the Property. (g) Regulations that are in material conflict with the Development Plan; provided OWNER has given written consent to the application of such regulations to development of that Property in which the OWNER has a legal or equitable interest.

This Agreement shall be construed, contrary to its stated terms if necessary, to reserve to CITY all such power and authority that cannot be or is not by this Agreement's express terms so restricted. 3.4 R"=Iation [y Qther Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of CITY may possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or j ointly with CITY and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies. 3.5 Timing of Development. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo,37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984),that the failure of the parties in that case to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties' agreement,it is the specific intent of the Parties to provide for the timing of the Project in this Agreement. To do so,the Parties acknowledge and provide that OWNER shall have the right,but not the obligation, to complete the Project in such order,at such rate, at such times, and in as many development phases and sub- phases as OWNER deems appropriate in its sole subjective business judgment. 3.6 Conditions,Covenants and Restrictions. OWNER shall have the ability to reserve and record such covenants, conditions, and restrictions(CC&Rs) against the Property as OWNER deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such CC&Rs may not conflict with this Agreement, the General Plan,or The Farm Specific Plan. Before recording any CC&Rs, OWNER shall provide a copy of the CC&Rs to the CITY for review and approval by the City Attorney. The City Attorney's review shall be limited to determining if the CC&Rs substantially comply with this Agreement. Within thirty(30)days after receiving a copy of the proposed CC&Rs from OWNER,the City Attorney shall provide OWNER with either(i)a statement that the CC&Rs comply with this Agreement("CC&R Approval")or(ii)written comments identifying each aspect of the CC&Rs which the City Attorney believes not to be in compliance with this Agreement(a"Statement of Non-Compliance"). If the City Attorney fails to provide OWNER with either CC&R Approval or a Statement of Non-Compliance within thirty(30) days following a written request by OWNER, CITY shall be deemed to have approved the CC&Rs and OWNER may record the CC&Rs against the Property. If the City Attorney provides a Statement of Non-Compliance, OWNER shall have thirty(30) days in which to respond to the Statement of Non-Compliance. Upon submittal of OWNER's response, the procedure described above for the initial submittal and City Attorney review of proposed CC&Rs shall again be followed. This procedure shall be followed until OWNER either(1)receives CC&R Approval, (2) submits the compliance issues to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, (3)files an action for declaratory relief in Orange County Superior Court seeking a judicial determination of the compliance of the proposed CC&Rs, or (4)agreement is otherwise reached between the Parties allowing for the recording of the CC&Rs. The CC&Rs may run with the land and bind OWNER's successors and assigns. Except as provided above, any dispute between the Parties regarding the CITY's approval or rejection of the CC&Rs shall be subject to immediate and binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. -12- 10306-0005\2182642A.doc 4.

OWNER may propose,and if requested by CITY shall cooperate in, the formation of any special assessment district, community facilities district or alternate financing mechanism to pay for the construction and/or maintenance and operation of public infrastructure facilities required as part of the Development Plan. To the extent any such district or other financing entity is formed and sells bonds in order to finance such reimbursements,OWNER may be reimbursed to the extent that OWNER spends funds or dedicates land for the establishment of public facilities.Notwithstanding the foregoing,it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring CITY or the City Council to form any such district or to issue and sell bonds. 6.

Introduction I.I. Purpose and Scope of the Specific Plan The City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan was adopted by the City Council in 1999. The General Plan Land Use Map (2002)designates the 35-acre Spieker/Vermeulen property site as "Agri-Business,"a component of the"Industrial"land use grouping.The site is zoned Specific Plan/Precise Plan. In order to accommodate The FARM project,the General Plan land use designation is being modified to"Specific Plan/Precise Plan". Similarly,the existing zoning for the site is already "Specific Plan/Precise Plan"to accommodate the project. Adoption of The FARM Specific Plan, this revision for The Farm 180 unit residential plan will implement the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan and make compatible the City's Zoning Ordinance, as amended. Section 65450 et. seq. of the California Government Code(Title 7, Division 1,Chapter 3,Article 8)authorizes cities to"...prepare specific plans for the systematic implementation of the general plan for all or a part of the area covered by the general plan." Section 65451 of the California Government Code specifies content requirements for Specific Plans as follows: (a) The specific plan shall include text and a diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail: (1) The distribution,location,and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan. (2) The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage,water,drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. (3) Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. (4) A program of implementation measures including regulations,programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs(1), (2),and(3). (5) The specific plan shall include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan. The FARM revised Specific Plan has been prepared based on the Specific Plan content requirements of Section 65451 of the California Government Code. The boundaries of the Specific Plan area are shown on Exhibit 1-1: Specific Plan Area Boundaries. ,5386.00001 4/557o1_ 1-3 The FARM Specific Plan Section 1: Introduction Exhibit 1-1: Specific ,n Area Boundaries rt� �ti ! � ' 'fir,%r� {1� f • l_•`r f, ���. �•�.t i �°cif ��5� 55396.00001\8755767.7 ' The FARM Specific Plan Section I: Introduction I.2. General Plan Consistency A detailed analysis demonstrating the relationship of The FARM Specific Plan to the San Juan Capistrano General Plan is included as Appendix A. The analysis discusses how the project relates to the goals and policies of the City General Plan. The FARM Specific Plan furthers the City's General Plan economic goals by providing fiscal stability,particularly through stimulus to the neighboring Farm Market and the nearby downtown. It furthers the General Plan goal of providing a desirable community for citizens to work,shop,reside and recreate.The architectural design of the project will be consistent and compatible with the existing character of the city and its development will help meet the City's housing goals, including providing up to 180 new housing options.The project is located in close proximity to public transportation access points. In addition,the project provides passive and active open space uses for its residents and their guests,including walking paths. The project is compatible with neighboring public institutional and residential land uses and employs responsible environmental measures. I.3. City Adoption Process A Specific Plan is adopted by the City Council after review and recommendation by the Planning Commission. Both the Planning Commission,in its advisory role,and the City Council,in its approval role,may approve,deny, or modify a Specific Plan. Upon approval, a Specific Plan replaces the project site's zoning and General Plan land use designation.This Specific Plan is a revision to the existing adopted Specific Plan. I.4. Project Background The approximately 35-acre"The FARM"project site is located at 32382 Del Obispo Street in San Juan Capistrano. From approximately 1938 to 1975, the land was used for citrus and other agricultural production. In approximately 1975,the site began a transition from traditional in- ground agriculture production to use as a plant and material warehousing, growing and distribution center. In 1994,the then current tenant paved large portions of the site to facilitate construction of commercial glass greenhouses and loading docks for tractor trailer distribution vehicles. No portion of the site has been used for in-ground agriculture production since 1998. In 2014 the Agricultural tenant relocated to another County where agricultural uses were more productive and infrastructure of both water and work force was available. See Exhibit I-2: Specific Plan Area Existing Uses. 55386.00001\9755767.7 1-5 The FARM Specific Plan Section I: Introduction Exhibit I-2: Specific Plan Area Existing Conditions i The City and its agents evaluated Vermeulen property for permanent open space preservation merit in both 1990(in connection with Measure D)and again in 2008 (in connection with Measure Y). In both instances,the City,elected not to acquire and convert the site from an industrial use to publically owned open space use but instead acquired other properties both within and outside the City. In 1975, a retail center was constructed on 8 acres adjacent to the 35-acre parcel. The center was expanded to its current size in 1989. The proposed The FARM project does not propose to alter the existing retail land uses or improvements. I.S. Project Definition The Spieker/Vermeulen development plan,The FARM,provides for a master-planned community with up to 180 comfortable homes and a large walking/riding trail that leads from Del Obispo Street to Via Positiva which will than connect to a future trail leading to the Ecology Center. • 55386.00001\8755767,7 1-6 The FARM Specific Plan Section I: Introduction I.6. Project Objectives The FARM residential development project objectives include: Establish appropriate General Plan land use and compatible zoning designations to optimize the potential of the project site and facilitate achievement of project objectives. • Provide an opportunity to create a mixed-use environment integrating existing adjoining commercial and institutional uses with a new residential community and community serving pedestrian trail. • Provide a positive financial impact on the neighboring Farm Market and nearby downtown Mission District. • Create a high quality residential community. ■ Generate additional revenue for the City and Capistrano Unified School District(CUSD) through significantly increased property values with minimal increases in enrollment at local schools. • Create a residential community within walking distance of an elementary and middle school,Community Center,Public Park, Sports Park and Ecology Center. • In addition,resident spending at local restaurants and retail centers will contribute to increased retail sales and associated tax revenue. • Promote the efficient use of water and energy through incorporation of conservation measures,including a comprehensive water quality management plan. 55386.00001\8755767.7 1-7 The FARM Specific Plan Section II: Project Description/Land Use and Grading Plan II.

The surrounding area also includes publicly owned land consisting of the San Juan Capistrano Community Center and Sports Park(25925 Camino del Avion)which carries a Community Park land use designation and South Coast Farms(32701 Alipaz St.), a private farm and retail operator currently leasing land acquired by the City in 1990. This property includes the noted Ecology Center. South Coast Farms carries an Agri-Business land use designation. The Specific Plan area currently consists as vacant land with both paved and unpaved surfaces. No portions of the Specific Plan area remain undisturbed,in a natural condition. See Exhibit I-2: Specific Plan Area Existing Conditions. A Phase I Assessment,conducted on the Specific Plan area, did not reveal evidence of any recognized environmental conditions or environmental concerns("Phase I Environmental Site Assessment: Vermeulen Ranch Center",April 2013,prepared by GeoTek,Inc.). II.2. Land Use Plan The FARM project contains two defining elements. First,it provides up to 180 new residences of varying sizes and styles. See Exhibit II-2: Land Use Plan. The Specific Plan is designed to provide an integrated project with new single family housing and convenient access to retail and recreational uses. The plan,for The FARM,includes a large walking path,through the community, leading to the Ecology Center. See Exhibit II-6: Landscaping Plan for locations of passive and active open space and recreation uses. The Specific Plan and subsequent development plan are designed to significantly upgrade the site's hydrology and water quality by reducing storm flows to pre-development levels through detention and other measures designed to comply with state-of-the-art storm water and water quality regulations, all as described in Section III.3 of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan also includes water conservation features, including"purple pipes"available for use of reclaimed water,when available and as part of the development approvals.

Grading Plan The FARM Specific Plan Area is located near the Newport-Inglewood(offshore)and San Joaquin Hills faults, as zoned under the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act 1974-2007, and is considered a seismically active region of Southern California. However,the Hazard Zone Maps for the Dana Point quadrangle indicate that the Specific Plan Area is not located within a zone susceptible to earthquake-induced landslides. Topographically, the site is relatively flat with a slight slope to the east/southeast and a few minor slopes existing within and adjacent to the site. Exhibit II-4: Grading Plan for the Specific Plan Area shows an overall grading area of approximately 35 acres. Construction of water quality features such as planting media for bioswales and select gravel for infiltration areas will be part of the later development application approvals. Implementation of the Grading Plan includes approval of a Grading Plan Modification,since existing grades will be altered by more than two feet.

Each landscape component will contribute to the overall unity of the landscape character. To achieve the seamless integration of landscape materials throughout the entire Community several Landscape Zones will be defined as part of a future development application. Each landscape zone will define areas of similar landscape visual character and planting design. A plant palette will be established for each zone. The Farm Road: The streetscapes are a critical component in establishing the character of the community and neighborhoods and help to define the public realm, The selection of plant material is intended to promote walkability and pedestrian activity through tree lined streets and parkways that vary in width to create a more natural setting. The parkways will be rural in character and open in appearance. Groupings of large scale trees with drought tolerant shrubs, groundcovers and ornamental grasses will be reminiscent of the community's rural nature. Primary Street Trees: located closest to the street and provides each roadway with its scale and form. Spacing is 30' on-center maximum and drought tolerant when established. Shrubs: used in landscape easements and medians to soften the ground plane and visually link all landscape materials. Large massings of singular type shrubs will be selected according to maturity size, color, texture and seasonal interest and will be placed to not obstruct important pedestrian or vehicular sightlines or threaten the safety of pedestrians. Low growing shrubs will be used in combination with groundcovers and grasses in the medians, parkways and behind sidewalks Shrubs will be selected for their drought tolerant characteristics. Groundcove;rs and ornamemal grasses! drought tolerant groundcover species and grasses, including park turf will be low water usage types. as .wri err q.e+ r- it h+ e H Nr' 1 S • rt 14I.L T �j(f C Il1� I •rte. •,I.

Water and Sewer Service Water Service Plan The FARM project site, as with the majority of the City of San Juan Capistrano, receives domestic water service from the City of San Juan Capistrano Utilities Department. See Exhibit III-5: Utility Plan. Dexter Wilson Engineering,Inc.prepared an `Overview of Potable Water Service for the Spieker/Vermeulen property in the City of San Juan Capistrano' on February 4,2014. That plan shows the existing infrastructure available to fixture housing. See Exhibit-III-6: Water Quality Management Plan. The Specific Plan and subsequent development plans will include installation of"purple pipes" available for use of reclaimed water,when available. The Project may include up to three connections made to the existing 10"public water lines that are owned and operated by the City of San Juan Capistrano and are located in Del Obispo Street and Via Positiva. The existing water system can support the maximum expected fire flow of 3,000 gpm for the proposed project. The onsite potable water distribution system will be part of the improvements and plans contained in the approvals of the subdivision maps. The onsite potable water system is a public system constructed to the standards of the City of San Juan Capistrano. The on-site potable water service system will include 8"and 12"water distribution piping looped in a way that ensures reliability and redundancy for the water supply system. Ten inch piping will not be used as the City of San Juan Capistrano no longer accepts this pipe size. Exhibit III-5: Utility Plan i I ^op -R IS ?

See Exhibit III-7: Sewer Plan and Exhibit III-5: Utility Plan. Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. prepared an `Overview of Sewer Service for the Spieker CCRC"plan in the City of San Juan Capistrano' on January 29,2014. The existing sewer infrastructure near The FARM project includes a City of San Juan Capistrano 8"gravity sewer in Via Positiva on the south side of the project. This existing line runs east along Via Positiva and connects to an 18" trunk line in Alipaz Street. The 18"gravity sewer line flows south on Alipaz until it connects with a 21" line running along San Juan Creek. This line continues south adjacent to San Juan Creek until it is disposed of at the SOCWA Jay B. Latham Regional Treatment Plant in the City of Dana Point. The onsite sewer system for The FARM project is planned to collect sewer flows within the site and convey them toward the southeast entrance. This configuration follows the general slope of the topography and minimizes the offsite connection to a single location at Via Positiva. Since the minimum gravity sewer line size for the City is 8"diameter,most of the sewer collection system will be this size. III-27 55386.0000 N755767.7 The FARM Specific Plan Section III: Circulation and Infrastructure Eight-inch(8")gravity sewer lines are adequate for the onsite collection system up to the final segment exiting the site. The last segment is expected to be 10"in diameter in order to meet the City's flow depth design criteria, as described below. The onsite sewer collection system flows, depth of flow,and sizing will be a part of the final design of the onsite improvements for the subsequent development plans for up to 180 homes.

Drainage Plan—Hydrology and Water Quality Hydrology The City maintains storm drainage collection and conveyance facilities within the City. Regional flood control facilities(e.g.Homo Creek, San Juan Creek)are maintained both by the City and the Orange County Flood Control District. Three major creeks traverse through the City to the east of the Specific Plan area: San Juan Creek,Trabuco Creek, and Oso Creek. In addition,a tributary to San Juan Creek,Homo Creek, is also located east of The FARM Specific Plan area.The Specific Plan Area is not located within a flood hazard area, as identified on the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA)Flood Insurance Rate Map. Surface runoff and flows from the City are directed into San Juan Creek before being discharged into the Pacific Ocean to the south. A Hydrology Study was prepared for the Spieker CCRC development(Charles Hartman& Associates,November 2013). The hydrology calculations contained within the Hydrology Study were performed using the 1986 Orange County Flood Control District Hydrology Manual. An updated Hydrology study will be done for the development plan See Exhibit III-S: Hydrology Study. Natural drainage at the site is generally toward the southeast, conforming to the natural topography on and surrounding the project site. Exhibit III-5: Utility Plan shows on-site drainage patterns, as well as the existing and proposed drainage system for The FARM Specific Plan area. The site outfalls to an existing 78"drain line located in Alipaz Street at the southeast corner of the site. The Specific Plan area lies within Flood Zone X as designated by current FEMA Map (No. 06059C0506J). Post-development drainage patterns will substantially conform to the pre- development pattern. The Specific Plan area slopes to the southeast from Del Obispo Street at elevation 112 to Alipaz Street at elevation 68. Proposed storm flows exiting the site will be reduced to pre-development levels using appropriate facilities located near the downstream end of the storm drain system. An underground circular detention tank will be installed. This system will detain the peak flow while releasing flow at a rate equal to or less than the pre-development flow by the use of an orifice sized to release the required flow. The released flow will then be conveyed to the existing storm system at Alipaz Street and Via Positiva. See Exhibit III-6: Water Quality Management Plan. The Specific Plan area has emergency overflow available to the current drainage outlet located at the southwest corner of the project at Alipaz Street.

See Exhibit III-6: Water Quality Management Plan. It was prepared to comply with the requirements of the City of San Juan Capistrano's Local Implementation Plan and Water Quality Ordinance,as well as the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System(MS4)Permit,Order R9-2009-0002 which requires the preparation of a project WQMP for priority development projects(a designation which applies to The FARM project). The earlier WQMP identified a combination of Best Management Practices(BMPs)which includes Low Impact Development(LID) Site Design, Source Control and Treatment Control measures to be implemented for The FARM project and will be further detailed in an updated WQMP prepared as part of the development application. These proposed design and control measures will employ a multi-level strategy consisting of: 1)reducing or eliminating post- project runoff, 2)controlling sources of pollutants; and 3) treating storm water runoff before discharging it to the storm drain system or to receiving waters. The proposed project will minimize impervious areas by providing large landscaped areas including a small park and the traversing trail system.The streets, sidewalks and parking areas will be constructed to the minimum widths necessary. III.4. Utility Service Electrical service to the City of San Juan Capistrano is provided by San Diego Gas &Electric (SDG&E)through a grid of transmission lines and related facilities.Natural gas is also provided by SDG&E,which maintains a local system of transmission lines,distribution lines, and supply regulation stations. The City contracts with CR&R, a private waste hauler,to collect and dispose of the solid waste generated within the City, which is collected and transported to one of the three regional landfills operated and maintained by OC Waste and Recycling. The FARM project utilizes the following practices with respect to its Waste Management Plan: Waste is classified as both recycled and non-recycled with a targeted diversion rate exceeding 50%. Each home will have separate cans for recycled and non-recycled trash. Cans are emptied once a week on regularly scheduled pick-ups with the local provider using standard trash trucks.

VI-42 55386.00001\9755767.7 Appendix INTRODUCTION This Appendix to The FARM Specific Plan discusses how The FARM project relates to the goals and policies contained in the various elements of the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan. Section 65450 et. seq. of the California Government Code(Title 7,Division 1,Chapter 3, Article 8) authorizes cities to"...prepare specific plans for the systematic implementation of the general plan for all or a part of the area covered by the general plan." The California Government Code identifies content requirements for Specific Plans(Section 65451). Among those is a requirement that"...the specific plan shall include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan". The following is an analysis of The FARM Specific Plan's consistency with the City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan. The City of San Juan Capistrano General Plan includes the following twelve topical elements: • Land Use Element • Circulation Element • Housing Element + Conservation/Open Space Element ■ Safety Element • Noise Element • Cultural Resources Element • Community Design Element ■ Growth Management Element ■ Parks and Recreation Element • Public Services and Utilities Element • Floodplain Management Element LAND USE ELEMENT Land Use Goal 1: Develop a balanced land use pattern to ensure that revenue generation matches the City's responsibility for provision and maintenance of public services and facilities. Policies: 1.1: Encourage a land use composition in San Juan Capistrano that provides a balance or surplus between the generation of public revenues and the cost of providing public facilities and services. 1.2:Encourage commercial,tourist-oriented, and industrial development that is compatible with existing land uses within the City to improve the generation of sales tax,property tax,and hotel occupancy tax. 1.3: Encourage mixed commercial and residential use projects in the Mission District downtown area to conserve land and provide additional housing opportunities and population to support commercial services and retail sales. Consistency Discussion: Development of The FARM project will provide a significant increase in city property tax receipts associated with the Specific Plan area. Residents of the community and their visitors will contribute to an increase in retail sales revenue and related city sales tax receipts at local dining, sh022ing and tourist oriented venues. Land Use Goal 2: Control and direct future growth within the City to preserve the rural village- like character of the community. Policies: 2.1: Continue controlling growth through the implementation of the City's residential growth management program. 2.2: Assure that new development is consistent and compatible with the existing character of the City. 2.3: Ensure that development corresponds to the provision of public facilities and services. Consistency Discussion: Detailed design guidelines have been provided in the Specific Plan to ensure the project is consistent and compatible with the existing character of the City. The FARM Specific Plan is located adjacent to roadway and utility infrastructure to support its development. Section III of the Specific Plan provides detailed information on infrastructure provisions associated with The FARM project. Land Use Goal 3: Distribute additional population within the City based on risk factors. Policies: 3.1: Confine higher density land uses to the valley areas outside of the floodplain. 3.2: Limit density of development in the hillsides, floodplains, and other high-risk areas. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan Area is situated within a valley area and is not located within a high- risk area. The site is located outside of designated floodplains. The "Geotechnical Due- Diligence Evaluation, Proposed Retirement Community, Armstrong Nursery/Del Obispo Property, Gi of an Juan Capistrano", prepared by GMU Geotechnical Inc. dated August 1, 2013), determined that the project is "feasible and practical from a geotechnical engineering perspective." This determination is valid for the FARM Specific Plan. Additional studies will be provided as part of the development application approvals to reconfirm the geotechnical stability of the area. Land Use Goal 4: Preserve major areas of open space and natural features. Policies: 4.1: Preserve areas of natural hazards, such as landslides and floodplains,which would jeopardize the public health and safety. 4.2: Implement land and open space rights acquisition programs to allow for the long-term preservation of open space resources. 4.3: Preserve designated ridgelines and the immediate adjacent area to maintain the open space character of the community. Consistency Discussion: As discussed under Land Use Goal 3, above, the geotechnical evaluation prepared for the earlier project did not determine that there were any geotechnical hazards associated with the Specific Plan Area that would jeopardize public health and safety. The General Plan does not identify any ridgelines on or adjacent to the Specific Plan Area, nor does it identify open-space resources associated with the Specific Plan Area. Land Use Goal 5: Encourage commercial development which serves community needs and is located in the existing central business district. Policies: 5.1: Encourage the location and retention of businesses within the downtown Mission District. Consistency Discussion: Residents of The Farm community and their guests will provide economic stimulation to restaurants and other businesses in the downtown district, located just minutes from The FARM project. Land Use Goal 6: Enhance or redevelop underperforming commercial centers. Policies: 6.1: Allow for the transition of the oversupply of commercial land use to other economically viable revenue producing land uses. Consistency Discussion: The immediate proximity of The FARM project to the existing Vermeulen shopping center will provide revitalization to the center's existing commercial uses. Land Use Goal 7: Enhance and maintain the character of neighborhoods. Policies: 7.1: Preserve and enhance the quality of San Juan Capistrano neighborhoods by avoiding or abating the intrusion of non-conforming buildings and uses. 7.2: Ensure that new development is compatible with the physical characteristics of its site, surrounding land uses, and available public infrastructure. 7.3:Utilize programs for rehabilitation of physical development, infrastructure and undergrounding of utilities within the City to improve community neighborhoods. 7.4: Protect the existing population and social character of older areas subject to rehabilitation and redevelopment. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan establishes new development standards for the Specific Plan Area. It also contains detailed design guidelines, the implementation of which will help to preserve and enhance the quality of San Juan Capistrano neighborhoods and ensure that The FARM is compatible with the physical characteristics of the Specific Plan Area, the surrounding land uses, and the available public infrastructure (refer to Section III of the Specific Plan for a detailed discussion of infrastructure provision associated with Specific Plan im lementation.

The FARM Specific Plan { represents a diverse employment producing development where public transit is convenient and , desirable. Circulation Coal 3: Provide an extensive public bicycle,pedestrian, and equestrian trails network. Policies: 3.1: Provide and maintain an extensive trails network that supports bicycles,pedestrians, and horses and is coordinated with those networks of adjacent jurisdictions. Consistency Discussion: Pedestrian access within The FARM includes a network of lighted pedestrian walkways. These walkways and expanded traversing trail system connects the residences to the local public recreation amenities, the Ecology Center and will provide access throughout The FARM for residents, guests. Circulation Goal 4: Minimize the conflict between the automobile, commercial vehicles, pedestrians,horses, and bicycles. Policies: 4.1: Provide sufficient right-of-way widths along roadways to incorporate features that buffer pedestrians,horses,and bicycles from vehicular traffic. 4.2: Provide traffic management improvements within areas where through traffic creates public safety problems. 4.3: Install additional street improvements within areas where necessary to improve vehicular and non-vehicular safety. 4.4: Apply creative traffic management approaches to address congestion in areas with unique problems, such as schools,businesses with drive-through access,and other special situations. Consistency Discussion: Section III of The FARM Specific Plan addresses both vehicular and pedestrian circulation associated with project. The plan includes a network of pedestrian walkways designed to provide safe and convenient access to and between community's amenities and residences. The Specific Plan Area is serviced by private roadways conforming to the standards found in the San Juan Capistrano General Plan. Circulation Goal 5: Achieve the development of regional transportation facilities. Policies: 5.1: Support the implementation of the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways and the south Foothill Tollway Segment(Segment CP). 5.2: Work closely with adjacent jurisdictions and transportation agencies to ensure that development projects outside San Juan Capistrano do not adversely impact the City or other providers of public transportation service within the City. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan does not identify considerations related to the development of regional transportation facilities. The implementation of The FARM Specific Plan will not impede the City's efforts with respect to Circulation Goal 5 for the—(;It of San Juan Ga istrano. HOUSING ELEMENT Housing Goal 1: To create and maintain"decent housing and a suitable living environment" for all households in the community.

Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan will be designed for residents of all ages and will not discriminate based on race, religion, sex, marital status,sexual preference, ancestry, national ori in, or color. CONSERVATION/OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Conservation/Open Space Goal 1: Preserve and enhance open space resources. Policies: 1.1: Identify remaining areas which should be preserved and enhanced as open space resources. 1.2: Continue to implement land and open space-rights acquisition of appropriate properties to allow for the long-term preservation of open space resources. 1.3: Identify and implement funding programs to maintain open space lands. Consistency Discussion: The General Plan does not identify open space resources associated with the Specific Plan Area. However, The FARM Specific Plan does include a number of outdoor amenities to enhance its open space, both passive and active, including a traversing walking path and a small park. Conservation/Open Space Goal 2: Protect and preserve important ecological and biological resources. Policies: 2.1: Use proper land use planning to reduce the impact of urban development on important ecological and biological resources. 2. 2: Preserve important ecological and biological resources as open space. 2.3: Develop open space uses in an ecologically sensitive manner. 2.4: Continue to designate the City as a bird sanctuary to preserve and protect the populations of all migratory birds which serve as a prime resource to the character and history of the community. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan Area does not contain important ecological and biological resources. Implementation of The FARM Specific Plan will not impede the City's efforts to protect and preserve its ecological and biological resources. The General Plan does not identify open space resources associated with the Specific Plan Area. Conservation/Open Space Goal 3. Preserve existing agricultural activity. Policies: 3.1: Implement economic programs that promote the long-term viability of designated agricultural parcels within the City. 3.2: Reduce the negative impacts resulting from urban uses and neighboring agricultural uses in close proximity. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan Area is currently identified as an Agri-Business site in the General Plan's Industrial land use category. However, no portion of the site is being used to grow in- ground agricultural products. Ten years ago, much of the site was paved with concrete and , asphalt to facilitate construction of warehouses, loading docks, greenhouses and related roadways in order to accommodate the site's previous use as a regional warehousing, distribution and growing center for plant material and container plants. A California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment was performed for an earlier proposed project, which evaluated the agricultural value of the project site using the accepted California LESA Model. This study assigned the project site a total LESA score of 63.45 out of a possible 100, with a SA subscore of 18.75. Based on the objective LESA scale, the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment concluded that "pursuant to the LESA model, the proposed conversion of the site from agriculture to non-agricultural uses would not be considered to be significant." Further, development of The FARM project will not negatively impact neighboring parcels currently being used for active agricultural purposes. _ Conservation/Open Space Goal 4: Prevent incompatible development in areas that should be preserved for scenic,historic,conservation,or public safety purposes. Policies: 4.1: Assure incompatible development is avoided in those areas that are designated to be preserved for scenic,historic,conservation,or public safety purposes. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan Area is located in an area characterized by public and institutional land uses including assisted living facilities, churches and both public and private schools. Additionally, various types of residential development, from low to high density, surround the project site. The project is compatible with the existing development in its vicinity. Implementation of the Specific Plan will not affect areas designated by the City for preservation for scenic, historic, conservation or public safety purposes. Conservation/Open Space Goal 5: Shape and guide development in order to achieve efficient growth and maintain community scale and identity. Policies: 5.1: Encourage high-quality design in new development and redevelopment to maintain the low- density character of the City. 5.2: Ensure that new development integrates and preserves areas designated for scenic, historic, conservation, or public safety reasons. 5.3: Ensure that no buildings will encroach upon any ridgeline designated for preservation. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan preserves the low-density character of the City while also conveniently , locating most residents near the services the community provides. No ridgeline is present, no historic structures are impacted. Section V of The FARM Specific Plan contains detailed design guidelines governing general design, site planning, architecture, outdoor lighting and landscaping. These guidelines will ensure a high-quality design that will maintain the identity and scale of San Juan Capistrano Conservation/Open Space Goal 6: Improve air quality. Policies: 6.1: Cooperate with the South Coast Air Quality Management District and Southern California Association of Governments in their efforts to implement the regional Air Quality Management Plan. 6.2: Cooperate and participate in regional air quality,management planning,programs, and enforcement measures. 6.3: Implement City-wide traffic flow improvements. 6.4: Achieve a greater balance between jobs and housing in San Juan Capistrano. 6.5: Integrate air quality planning with land use and transportation planning. 6.6: Promote energy conservation and recycling by the public and private sectors. Consistency Discussion: The IS/MND for The FARM Specific Plan includes a detailed Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis that analyzes the air quality impacts of the project. The Air Analysis concludes that The FARM project will not result in unavoidable or significant adverse impacts to air quality or generate greenhouse gas emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment. Chapter III of The FARM Specific Plan contains information on the community's Solid Waste Management Plan including descriptions of diversion rates exceeding 50%. Implementation of The FARM Specific Plan will not impede the City's efforts to participate in regional air quality, management planning, programs, and enforcement measures. Buildings within The FARM will exceed all Title 24 energy efficiency standards. Energy efficient measures will include energy efficient lamp technologies which will be implemented on interior and exterior lights. Conservation/Open Space Goal 7: Protect water quality. Policies: 7.1: Coordinate water quality and supply programs with the responsible water agencies. 7.2: Encourage the production and use of recycled water. 7.3: Conserve and protect watershed areas. Consistency Discussion: t Chapter III of The FARM Specific Plan describes the initial Conceptual Water Quality Management Plan prepared for the Specific Plan Area. All water collected in the storm drain system as a result of implementation of The FARM Specific Plan and subsequent development of the site will be filtered onsite using natural and mechanical methods. The Specific Plan Area on-site storm drain system will be designed to ensure the City storm drain system receives no additional impact as a result of the development of up to 180 home community, Conservation/Open Space Goal 8: Encourage active citizen involvement to establish and achieve community goals. Policies: 8.1: Solicit citizen participation during the early stages of major public and regulatory programs. 8.2: Develop appropriate vehicles, such as newsletters, information brochures,cable television programming and announcements, and other methods, to communicate important information to the population of San Juan Capistrano. Consistency Discussion: Implementation of The FARM Specific Plan will not impede the City's efforts to encourage active citizen involvement to establish and achieve community goals. The Specific Plan itself implements applicable community goals of the General Plan. SAFETY ELEMENT Safety Goal 1: Reduce the risk to the community from hazards related to geologic conditions, seismic activity,wildfires, structural fires and flooding.

Reduce the risk of fire to the community by coordinating with the Orange County Fire Authority. 1.5 All residential projects with more than 48 units should be required to provide a secondary access to the project site. The secondary access may be designated as emergency access only. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan will been designed with an internal circulation system that allows adequate fire access to all structures. The FARM Specific Plan Area is not located within a high risk area. It is located outside of a designated floodplain. The "Geotechnical Due-Diligence Evaluation, Proposed Retirement Community, Armstrong Nursery/Del Obispo Property, City of San Juan Capistrano", prepared by GMU Geotechnical, Inc. (dated August 1, 2013), determined that the CCRC project is "feasible and practical from a geotechnical engineering perspective." Although the above evaluation was prepared for the previously proposed CCRC project the analysis and conclusions are tied to the conditions of the site and surrounding area rather than I the project characteristics, which for geotechnical considerations are similar to the previous �coject_An updated Geotechnical Evaluation will be 2rOvided with the development alications. Safety Goal 2: Protect the community from hazards related to air pollution,nuclear power production,hazardous materials and ground transportation. Policies: 2.1: Work with responsible federal,state and county agencies to decrease air pollution emissions occurring within the air basin to reduce the risk posed by air pollution. 2.2: Coordinate with federal and state agencies and Southern California Edison to reduce the risks related to nuclear power production. 2.3: Cooperate with responsible federal, state, and county agencies to minimize the risk to the community from the use and transportation of hazardous materials through the City. 2.4: Reduce the per capita production of household hazardous waste in San Juan Capistrano in concert with the County of Orange plans for reducing hazardous waste. 2.5: Reduce the risk from ground transportation hazards, such as rail and roadway systems. Consistency Discussion: A "Phase I Environmental Site Assessment: Vermeulen Ranch Center" (prepared by Geotek, Inc., dated April 11, 2013) was prepared for the Specific Plan Area. With respect to hazardous materials, it concluded that there was "no evidence of a recognized environmental condition or environmental concern" within the Specific flan Area. Implementation of The FARM Specific Plan will not impede the City's efforts to protect the community from hazards related to air Dilution, nuclear power production, hazardous materials and ground transportation. Safety Goal 3: Protect citizens and businesses from criminal activity. Policies: 3.1: Coordinate with the Orange County Sheriff's Department to reduce the risk of criminal activity. 3.2: Apply design techniques and standards aimed at reducing criminal activity to new development and redevelopment. 3.3: Promote after school programs, volunteer programs and Neighborhood Watch programs to reduce the risk of criminal activity. 3.4: Improve public awareness of both the responsiveness of the Orange County Sheriff s Department and ways to reduce criminal activity within the City. Consistency Discussion: The FARM Specific Plan project incorporates a range of defensible space components, including outdoor lighting and landscaping, to help reduce the risk of criminal activity within the Specific Plan Area. Safety Goal 4: Improve the ability of the City to respond effectively to natural and human- caused emergencies. Policies: 4.1: Support the development of local preparedness plans and multi-jurisdictional cooperation and communication for emergency situations consistent with the Standardized Emergency Management System(SEMS). 4.2: Educate residents and businesses regarding appropriate actions to safeguard life and property during and immediately after emergencies. Consistency Discussion: Implementation of The FARM Specific Plan will not impede the City's efforts to respond effective) to natural and human-caused emergfncies, NOISE ELEMENT Noise Goal 1: Minimize the effects of noise through proper land use planning. Policies: 1.1: Utilize noise/land use compatibility standards as a guide for future planning and development decisions. 1.2: Provide noise control measures and sound attenuating construction in areas of new construction or rehabilitation.
