Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Director of Engineering and Building, forwarding _
background information on the proposed project and more detail regarding the proposed
street light location on Country Hills Road at the side of the corner lot at 26351 Wildwood
Lane. The report noted that letters had been sent to all 35 property owners on Wildwood
Lane and Country Hills Road and, by March 16, 1998, 23 responses had been received, 20
of which concurred with the proposed street lighting and 3 opposed.
Public Comment:
Susan Jarvis, 26351 Wildwood Lane, asked the Council to reconsider the proposed placement
of the light by her home, noting that it was close to an existing light and was proposed to be
placed directly in front of her bedroom windows. She felt strongly that there was no need for
the proposed street light. She noted she could accept the proposed placement, but preferred
the light not be installed at all.
Mr. Huber advised that the placement had been relocated away from the house, closer to the
property line. He suggested that authorization be given to bid the project, noting that staff
would work with Mrs. Jarvis and report to Council prior to beginning the bid process.
Council Comments
In response to Council Member Hart, Mr. Huber advised that many residents of the area had
felt that the street was poorly lit and the project had been developed at their request; staff felt
the proposed street light locations were the most appropriate to provide the desired level of
lighting. The light could be eliminated or relocated, but to provide the level of lighting
requested, a street light was needed in that approximate area. Discussion ensued regarding

staff continue to work with Mrs. Jarvis regarding location and possible shielding of the street
light before proceeding with the bid process.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL 97-6. FOR A PROPOSED SELF -STORAGE
FACILITY NEAR INTERSTATE 5 AND VALLE ROAD_(VALLE ROAD SELF

Proposal:
Construction of a 107,358 -square -foot self -storage facility on a vacant parcel of land near the
confluence of Valle Road and Interstate 5. Because the parcel is currently restricted to a
combination of open space, commercial recreation and/or public institutional land uses under
the General Plan, a General Plan Amendment, together with a rezone from Growth
Management to Precise Plan is required. The Architectural Control application would be
subject to Council approval since the project design is specifically restricted by the Precise
Plan.

Applicant:
Mr. Dan Hunter, 31831 Camino Capistrano, Ste 150, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
Written Communication:
(1) Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Planning Director forwarding a recommendation
of denial, which would be consistent with recent Council findings regarding the
Resco/Shurgard project proposed near the southeast end of San Juan Creek Road.
The Report noted that both properties would provide a location for either commercial
recreation or public/institutional land uses. The Planning Commission had forwarded
a recommendation of approval.
(2) Letter dated April 1, 1998 from Dan C. Hunter, III, President, DanBerg
Development, in support of the proposal.
Mr. Tomlinson, Planning Director, gave an oral presentation, noting that site plans and
elevations were on display. He discussed the issues relating to the proposed General Plan
Amendment and rezone. He advised that the City Council had listed the types of criteria that
should be used when considering a change to the General Plan during earlier consideration
of a proposed self -storage facility; i.e., the existing General Plan was to be protected unless
there was a demonstrated benefit to community and a change should not be based on the
belief that a specific land use should be found compatible. He advised it was for those reasons
that staff had modified its previous recommendation of approval made to Planning
Commission. He stated that although the application would generally be compatible with
surrounding land uses, it would not carry forth the General Plan vision as reflected by the
current designation. Further, the application had not put forth any findings in support of the
request which would offer a benefit to the community, and had not demonstrated how loss
of potential private recreational uses might be offset.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing and the
following persons responded:
(1) Dan Hunter, 31831 Camino Capistrano, Ste 150, the applicant, asked for the support
of the City Council, stating his feeling that he had done everything possible to work
with staff and the planning commission.
(2) Mark Cannard, 204 Calle de Anza, San Clemente, representing the architect, pointed
out that the building design was integrated with the topography and the use was
highly compatible with the site which provided difficult terrain and limited visibility
' from the freeway.

122
(3) Phil Schwartze, 31682 El Camino Real, advised that he was present for questions.
(4) Richard Hill Adams, 33532 Forster Ranch Road, addressed the Council in support of
the application. He felt it would provide a non -intrusive, quiet use, with limited
hours, and would be a managed, controlled facility. He felt the architectural design
was visually pleasing, the proposed landscaping would mitigate any visibility
problems, and this type of facility would provide a needed service to residents.
There being no further response, the Public Hearing was declared closed with the right to re-
open at any time.
Council Comments:
Discussion ensued regarding potential hours of operation and access to stored property during
non-operating hours. Council Member Swerdlin asked if an approval would require the
setting of conditions such as hours of operation. The City Manager advised that the City
Council could approve the project conditionally. In that situation, a resolution would be
brought back to the Council establishing findings and placing conditions. The Council was
advised that there would be a manager on the site 24 hours a day.
Conceptual Approval of Project:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin to approve
the project in concept with direction that the appropriate documents be returned at a future
meeting to complete the approval.
The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Council Members Swerdlin, Hart and Mayor Jones
NOES: Council Member Campbell
ABSENT: Council Member Greiner

(930.40
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Northwest Equestrian Use Subcommittee noting
that four proposals for the Northwest Open Space had been received; interviews had
been conducted with all four applicants; and, after review and consideration, it had
been recommended that none of the proposals be accepted.
City Council Minutes -10- 4/7/98
123
(2) Letter dated April 7, 1998 from Deedee Gates, Creekside Equestrian Center, 28801
' San Juan Creek Road, indicating how the cost estimates listed in their proposal could
be reduced and requesting an opportunity to work with City staff to reduce or
eliminate City -borne capital costs.
(3) Letter dated April 2, 1998 from Allen and Lauren Horn and family, 31871 Via
Montura, opposed to increasing density at existing stables and encouraging the City
to assist in providing funding for infrastructure necessary to maintain the City's
equestrian lifestyle.
(4) Letter dated April 6, 1998 from Katherine Holman, Ortega Equestrian Center, 27252
Calle Arroyo, supporting the proposal to increase the density at existing stables.
(5) Letter dated April 7, 1998, from Victoria Joseph, 26505 Bay Tree Road, supporting
the proposed increase in density at existing stables.
Sharon Heider gave an oral presentation, advising that the Open Space Master Plan had
allocated up to 10 acres for equestrian use, and had envisioned that private development
could provide an equestrian facility in return for use of publicly -owned land. The Request for
Proposal package had specified development of up to 10 acres and had requested an
indication of community benefit in return for use of those 10 acres, such as revenue or in-kind
improvements to the site. Ms. Heider indicate that four proposals had been received. The
proposals projected using from 6 to 25 acres; two respected the boundaries shown on the
' Open Space Master Plan and two asked for additional space, which would require revision
to the Master Plan. The proposals also projected that the City provide significant
improvements to assist the development, ranging from approximately $100,000 to $400,000.
After thorough review, the Subcommittee had decided to recommend that none of the
proposals be accepted and instead existing commercial stables be allowed to expand.
Public Comments:
(1) Deedee Gates, 28801 San Juan Creek Road, representing the Gates proposal, thanked
the City and the Subcommittee for their diligent efforts and noted that the team she
was representing desired to continue working with the City to find a solution.
(2) Sandy Bike, 30552 Hunt Club Drive, expressed her dismay that the Subcommittee
had rejected all four proposals and strongly requested that the Council reconsider the
proposals offered. She objected to increasing density at existing stables, noted that
most existing stables would not accept trainers from Creekside; and, felt that if a golf
course could be considered for the southern Open Space, an equestrian facility could
also be considered for that site.
(3) Wendy Teddiman, 30552 Hunt Club Drive, thanked the City Council and staff for all
the time and assistance spent on the problem of the displaced horses. She too
expressed concern at the negative impact on the trainers at Creekside, noting that
clients would have to find new trainers; that it was nearly impossible to find a facility
' that would take a trainer and clients; and, that only two facilities in the area would

allowing outside trainers. She noted that as a trainer at Creekside she will lose her
livelihood and the problems needs to be resolved before any more facilities close.
(4) Lauren Orshansky, 18 Halsey, Laguna Niguel, advised that she had ridden at
Creekside for four years and was now scared for herself and her horse at having to
leave the facility and her trainer. She requested that the City find open land for the
horses.
(5) Susan Lawrence, P. O. Box 7268, Capistrano Beach, owner of four horses at
Creekside, reminded the Council of the economic benefits of keeping the non-resident
horse owners in the City, noting that they bring in a lot of revenue to local businesses.
Mayor Jones brought forward Item H2b, a related matter, on the Agenda to be discussed at this time
so that both items could be considered together.

APPROVAL OF AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE
SPECIFIC ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVALS TO ALLOW A MINOR INCREASE
IN EXISTING STABLE CAPACITY TO LOCALLY ACCOMMODATE THE
RELOCATION OF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF HORSES WITH THE
CLOSURE OF CREEKSIDE EQUESTRIAN CENTER (420.30/930.40)
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Planning Director, recommending adoption of
an Interim Urgency Ordinance authorizing specific administrative approvals to assist
in the relocation of a significant number of horses from the pending closure of
Creekside Equestrian Center. The City would authorize the capacity of existing stable
operations to increase by 12%, allowing 28 horses per acre rather than the current 25.
Improvement plans to accommodate those additional spaces would be subject to
administrative approval. Such an approach could create up to 155 additional spaces.
(2) Letter received April 7, 1998 from W. G. Weddington, 27942 Calle Belmonte,
supporting the proposed increase in stable density, noting his feeling that the City
should not be involved in the stable, or stable development, business
(3) Letter dated April 2, 1998 from Allen and Lauren Horn and family, 31871 Via
Montura, opposed to increasing density at existing stables and encouraging the City
to assist in providing funding for infrastructure necessary to maintain the City's

City Council Minutes -12- 4/7/98
12S
Mr. Tomlinson, Planning Director, advised that the proposed measures were a response to
an immediate need and would help resolve the immediate problem by increasing the maximum
Emit of horses per acre from 25 to 28. The Planning Director would be able to expedite the
permit process.
Public Comments:
(1) Sandy Bike, 30552 Hunt Club, advised the City Council that there was no room to
put additional stalls and horses at the other stable facilities; she felt that to do so
would dangerously overcrowd existing facilities.
Sharon Heider advised that staff had contacted stable owners regarding the proposed
measures. While not unanimous, the general response had been favorable and several stables
were already getting ready to accommodate additional horses.
Council Comments:
Mayor Jones, noting that he was a member of the Subcommittee, advised that the
Subcommittee had thoroughly reviewed each proposal and had interviewed each proposer at
length. He indicated the City's desire to find a solution and its sensitivity to the needs of the
horse owners; however, the interests of all the City's residents must be considered. He further
indicated it was important that the open space plan not be jeopardized prematurely and that
the integrity of the open space be kept. He felt the proposed interim measure would allow
more time to work out a full solution.
' Council Member Swerdlin also pointed out that it would be difficult for the City to fund and
construct the proposed infrastructure improvements in time to house the displaced horses.
He felt the City staff and the Subcommittee had done a wonderful job and their
recommendation was the best that could be done at this time under the present circumstances.
Council Member Hart expressed confidence in the present stable owners to address the
situation without jeopardizing safety. He indicated the need to consider the wishes of the
residents who had supported the bond measure to acquire the open space, as well as the needs
of the Creekside boarders. He indicated the City would continue to address the situation and
expressed the hope that all concerned would work with the City to make the interim plan
work on an emergency basis and to develop a long-term solution.
Mayor Jones pointed out that the process to establish a new facility of the desired quality
would take significant work should it be necessary to amend the master plan, and could not
be done in the emergency time frame. He felt the proposals were excellent and feasible given
enough acreage. Right now the City was trying to assist in the current emergency situation.
Richard Hill Adams, 33532 Forster Ranch Road, suggested use of the Forster Canyon
Landfill could be a long-term solution to the equestrian problem. Mr. Scarborough responded
that to provide infrastructure to the northwest open space property would be the least
expensive of the properties the City owns, or could own, including the landfill; that it would
take a substantial commitment of taxpayer monies to support the private stable facility.

of $1.2 million. Three proposals had been received. The proposal from Blue Sky reflected
' intentions of assembling the adjacent parcels; grading the entire site to Stonehill Drive street
level; and, developing a truck specialty store as an extension of the existing Capistrano Ford
operation, resulting in a purchase price of $735,000 with estimated annual tax generation of
$108,000. The Report indicated that although the Blue Sky proposal had not submitted the
highest purchase price, it represented an overall economic benefit in the long term.

Written Communication:
Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Planning Director recommending initiation of a General
Plan Amendment study to consider replacing the 4.3 Light Industrial designation with a 1.5
Medium High Residential designation and relocating a designated elementary school site to
' Camino Las Ramblas and Via California. The consideration was recommended because new
information received indicated that the proposed connection of Valle Road to Camino Las
City Council Minutes -15- 4/7/98

Ramblas at Via California would require removal of a major landslide and the subsequent road
realignment would isolate the light industrial designation, including its only means of access,
within a completely residential neighborhood. The Report also advised that the Capistrano
Unified School district had indicated that the site at Camino Las Ramblas and Via California
was a more desirable location than the current designation near the old Forster Canyon
Sanitary Landfill.
Adoption of Resolution:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin, that the
following Resolution initiating consideration of an amendment to the General Plan be
adopted, noting such action should not be construed as indicating future approval:

APPROVAL OF SPEED HUMPS ON VIA DE AQUA BETWEEN CALLE DE
BONANZA AND CALLE CONEJO (590.50)
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Director of Engineering and Building advising
that a petition had been received for installation of speed humps on Via de Auga
between Calle Conejo and Calle de Bonanza; the verified petition was signed by 100%
of the 24 residents adjacent to the identified roadway segment. —
City Council Minutes -16-

(2) Memorandum dated April 7, 1998, from the City Clerk indicating that postcards
' supporting the proposed installation had been received from 29 residents.
(3) Letter dated March 26, 1998, from Robert Skaggs, 27001 Calle Esperanza,
supporting the proposed installation.
(3) Letters in opposition to the installation were received from: David and Diane Cook,
33821 Avenida Calita; Dudley Martin, 27031 Calle Esperanza; Steve and Kathy Divel,
26851 Calle Canto; Franklin Jones, 26831 Calle Canto; Tony & Margie Saltikov,
33811 Avenida Calita; Gordon Cammell, 33611 Avenida Calita; John and Carolyn
Farley, 33641 Calle Miramar; and Robert Krebs, 26942 Calle Esperanza.
Mr. Huber, Director of Engineering and Building, advised that residents had requested the
installation of speed humps to slow traffic. He indicated that the major issues included a
possible diversion of traffic to other streets, which was considered unlikely. There was
concern that emergency vehicle response would be delayed, but the Fire Department had
indicated response time would only be minimally affected by a minor speed hump since the
equipment could not exceed the prima facie speed. Concern had been expressed regarding
potential negative impacts resulting from speed hump location, and he advised that staff
would work with affected residents. The last issue dealt with funding, which was to be
included in the 1998-99 Capital Improvement budget and constructed in combination with
a resurfacing project. The Transportation Commission had encouraged earlier funding. Staff
felt that miscellaneous engineering design funds of $3,000 could be allocated to develop the
' bid package this fiscal year; with the project going out to bid in June or July. He estimated
the total project cost at $12,000.
Public Comments:
(1) Peter Lawrence, 33752 Via de Agua, discussed the residents' traffic concerns on this
segment of roadway. He noted that the street was steep and curvy with no sidewalks
and urged the City Council to approve the request immediately and not delay for
further study as requested by the Meredith Canyon Homeowners Association. He
asked that additional police enforcement be provided until installation was completed.
(2) Marvin J. Rosen, 27052 Calle Esperanza, President of the Board of Directors of
Meredith Canyon Community Association, felt that the definition of "neighborhood"in
the speed hump policy should include all those who drive Via de Agua for ingress and
egress, not just the residents of that street. He requested that the City communicate
with all residents of the area before the City Council made any decision.
(3) Carol McPherson, 33775 Via de Agua, spoke in support of the installation, and
recalled the effort expended in trying to get the speeding problem resolved.
(4) Deane J. Shears, 33772 Via de Agua, strongly supported the installation, noting that
his vehicle had been rear-ended while he was trying to enter his driveway.
I(5) Bill Yates, 33785 Via de Agua, also supported the installation and urged an
immediate decision.

(6) Dorothy Shapiro, 33802 Via de Agua, felt that the neighborhood was held hostage
to speeders. She also pointed out that City staff had attended a Meredith Canyon
Homeowners Association meeting, therefore, its members had been directly advised.
(7) Kathy Divel, 26851 Calle Canto, spoke in opposition to the installation and advised
that the proposed location of one of the humps was immediately adjacent to her
property. She also expressed concern that her street, Calle Canto, could be used by
traffic trying to avoid the humps.
(8) Robana Stevenson, 33691 Via Cascada, spoke neither in support or opposition but
expressed her concern that the residents of Meredith Canyon would be impacted by
the installation and so should be consulted.
(9) Jan Siegel, 27201 Calle Delgado, a resident of Meredith Canyon, felt that there had
not been enough time allowed for the entire community to discuss the problem and
noted that Via de Agua was the access road for their community. She also felt that
some of the problems were caused by the on -street parking of residents' vehicles.
(10) Steve Haberfield, 33821 Via de Agua, advised that everything had been tried over the
years to reduce the speeding and running of the stop signs. He felt that the speed
humps would not necessarily cause traffic to divert to adjacent streets.
Council Comments:
Council Member Campbell sympathized with those in opposition but noted that speed humps
were effective in slowing traffic. Mayor Jones, Council Members Hart and Swerdlin
concurred.
Approval of Installation:
It was moved by Council Member Campbell, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin, and
carried unanimously, that the installation of speed humps on Via de Agua between Calle de
Bonanza and Calle Conejo be approved, with the project to be completed as rapidly as
possible; an appropriation of $12,000 from the systems development fund reserves was
authorized.
2. APPROVAL OF SPEED HUMPS IN ALLEY PARALLEL TO CAMINO
CAPISTRANO AND AVENIDA LOS AMIGOS FROM AVENIDA
GOLONDRINA TO AVENIDA PADRE (590.50)
Written Communication:
Report dated April 7, 1998 from the Director of Engineering and Building recommending the
installation of speed humps in the alley parallel to Camino Capistrano and Avenida Los
Amigos from Avenida Golondrina to Avenida Padre, in response to concerns expressed on
December 16, 1997, by Michael Hunn. Mr. Hunn had advised that traffic was diverting from
Avenida Golondrina to avoid the traffic signal at Camino Capistrano and Avenida Golondrina,
particularly between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
City Council Minutes -18- 4/7/98

Council Questions:
' Council Member Swerdlin inquired about the use of one-way signs and was advised that
because of the businesses on the west side, including the drive -up window of a bank, it was
felt that the one-way directions would be ignored and would not alleviate the problem.
Public Comment:
Ed Chermak, 322311 Avenida Los Amigos, a resident with access to his garage from the
alley, noted that drainage in the alley needed to be maintained, perhaps resulting in the
proposed speed humps not being effective. He further felt that a 3'/s -inch hump would not
slow traffic and another solution might be necessary. Mr. Huber noted that two
demonstration projects had been done to show the effectiveness. He advised that the speed
humps would be designed to accommodate the drainage.
Approval of Installation:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Campbell, and carried
unanimously, that the installation of speed humps in the alley parallel to Camino Capistrano
and Avenida Los Amigos from Avenida Golondrina to Avenida Padre be approved
