MODULAR HOME - CALLE LUCANA (430.80)
Mark Welsh, 26362 Calle Lucana, advised that three homes had been destroyed and two
others impacted due to a landslide which occurred five years ago on Calle Lucana. He noted
that the hillside had now been reconstructed and the vacant lots re -graded. He addressed
concerns regarding a proposal to place a manufactured home on one of the vacant lots. He
expressed alarm at the deterioration of the neighborhood, including conditions on Via
Belardes. The City Manager indicated that he would meet with Mr. Welsh to discuss his
concerns, particularly regarding the conditions in the neighborhood. He advised Mr. Welsh
that State law on manufactured homes preempts the City regulations.
Robert Bavier, 29621 Fairglen Court, the owner of the vacant lot, expressed concern at the
complaints about his proposed manufactured home, noting that it was two years old and
appraised at $235,000. He noted that the former structure had been removed only because
the hill itself had to be rebuilt. He stated that he could not rebuild the house as it had been
due to changes in City zoning regulations, and that the current plan for the manufactured
home had met all regulations and all permits had been acquired. He indicated that if costs
' increased due to delays, he risked losing his home to the contractor, who would proceed to
build and sell the home on that site.

AUTO DEALERS ASSOCIATION) (440 24)
Applicant:
San Juan Capistrano Auto Dealers Association
P. O. Box 7543
Capistrano Beach, CA 92624
Written Communication:
1. Report dated August 19, 1997 from the Planning Director recommending adoption
of a Resolution to initiate consideration of an amendment to the General Plan to study
the merits of the request from the San Juan Capistrano Auto Dealers Association.
The Association had requested consideration of an amendment to allow a freeway
visible sign that would identify the various brands of vehicles sold and serviced in San
Juan Capistrano.
2. Memorandum dated August 19, 1997, advising that although only one member of the
Association would be present to address Council, the request was supported by the
Association membership.
Mr. Tomlinson made a oral presentation noting that initiation of the amendment did not
indicate future approval.
Al Parajeckes, Co-owner of Barwick Motors and Vice President of the San Juan Capistrano
Auto Dealers Association, spoke in favor of the study. He made the following Statement,
included verbatim herein at the request of Council Member Campbell:
"I am here tonight on behalf of the San Juan Auto Dealers Association to ask you to favorably
consider our request for a General Plan Amendment to study and consider whether a freeway -
visible sign to simply identify the brands of the vehicles sold and serviced by the San Juan
Auto Dealers can be developed in a manner consistent with the values of this community. We
believe that such a sign will greatly assist in helping to identify the San Juan Auto Dealers and
San Juan Capistrano as a viable sub -regional automobile sales and service center. We also
believe that working together through the process that the general guidelines and specific
controls for such a sign can be developed in a manner that is not only reflective of the need
for the cautious evolutionary change envisioned by the General Plan, but beneficial to the City
and respectful of the residents of this community. And again, we understand that initiating
this General Plan Amendment process is a commitment, and not an approval of the sign,
rather it is an opportunity to work together with staff and City Council Members and the
public to move forward and we thank you for your consideration."
Initiation of General Plan Amendment:
Upon motion of Council Member Jones, seconded by Council Member Campbell, the
following Resolution was adopted:
