(SAN JUAN hEADOWS) (440,25/460,20/420.4
Proposal:
Consideration of a proposed general plan amendment, zone change and subdivision tract map
for the San Juan Meadows development in the Forster Canyon Planned Community. The
General Plan Amendment would redesignate a portion of the "2.1 open space recreation area"
located along Forster Canyon Road near Pacific Point to "5.0 public institutional" for public
site dedication; redesignate the "2.1 open space recreation area" adjoining the senior site to
"1.4 medium density residential;" and, establish an alternate trail alignment along Forster
Canyon Road linking the Old Forster Canyon Road trail with the City's open space lands. The
zone change would revise the Forster Canyon Comprehensive Development Plan for
development consistency. Significant revisions would include changes to the land use plan,
revisions to the "Public & Institutional" District Regulations and "Village Residential Mesa"
District, and a reduction in the "General Open Space." The revised tentative tract map would
create 196 single-family, detached residential lots; a lot for the development of 79 single-
family, detached condominiums; a lot for the development of 165 senior housing units; 72
acres of open space; eliminate the dedicated public use site located along the north side of La
Novia Avenue; and, dedicate a 1.86 -acre public use site along Forster Canyon Road. The
subdivision waiver requests approval to grade manufactured slopes to 1'/2:1 instead of the
Municipal Code -required minimum 2:1 slope for manufactured slopes. Manufactured slopes
would be reinforced with Geogrid, a rigid, plastic material designed to maintain slope stability
and prevent surficial slope failure.

Written Communication:
Report dated November 4, 1997 from the Planning Director, providing background
information and a project description. The Report recommended that the City Council certify
the Mitigated Negative Declaration, approve General Plan Amendment 95-02, introduce Zone
Change 96-01 by title and conditionally approve Revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14343
and the Subdivision Exception to Section 9-4.112, Slopes.
The Tentative Tract Map plans were on display. Bill Ramsey, Senior Planner, described the
newly -proposed project and pointed out differences from the previously -approved tentative —
tract. He pointed out the former and newly -proposed public site dedication areas and
discussed the applicant's reasons for requesting the change. He further advised that even

' though the County had closed the landfill in 1976, State certification of the closure had not
been obtained. Closure standards have changed significantly and the new standards will have
to be met. He advised that the applicant had obtained approval of a Landfill Closure Plan and
intended to re -close the landfill and acquire the appropriate certification
Mr. Ramsey address questions from Council relating to the proposed exchange of an 8 -acre
public institutional site on the north side of La Novia for a 2 -acre site on the north side of
Forster Canyon Drive; location and visibility of 1'/2:1 geogrid slopes; and, clarified that the
slope exception areas were all within the commonly -owned and maintained association areas.
Mr. Ramsey indicated that while the previous project included 60% open space, the newly -
proposed project included 53% open space, which was significantly more than required by
the General Plan. He stated that a new traffic impact analysis had been done and outlined the
conditions of approval requiring participation in a number of road improvement projects and
institution of various mitigation measures.
Council Member Campbell asked Mr. Ramsey to indicate the placement of the equestrian
trails. Mr. Ramsey noted that the trails were not outlined on the Tentative Tract Map, and
indicated the three proposals considered by the Parks, Recreation and Equestrian
Commission. He indicated the Commission had preferred the alignment using the existing
road cut.
In response to Council Member Jones, the City Manager advised that the City had accepted
' the 1'/�:1 geogrid slopes on other projects, and that staff would provide documentation on
geogrid and its stability.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Swerdlin opened the Public Hearing, and
the following persons responded:
(1) Ray Poulter, representing the applicant, San Juan Meadows, 313 North Birch, Santa
Ana, California, stated that their proposal represented a solid project and expressed
appreciation to staff for the comprehensive, complete report. He advised Council
Members that the proposed public use site was a more useable site than the original
8 -acre site, which contained only 2 acres of usable space; in addition, the proposed
site included parking space on the landfill surface. He stated that the Life Church had
expressed an interest in relocating to the original public use site. He also told the
Council Members that there may not be any need for 1'/2:1 slope; there may be other
means of dealing with the slope stabilization.
(2) Mary Rose Winkler, 32802 Valle Road, Space 111, told of concern for the slope
stability and the effect of heavy equipment immediately adjacent to the mobile home
park. The residents were particularly concerned because they were investigating the
possibility of purchasing the park and would not want to continue if this project were
to have negative impacts on the mobilehome property. The City Manager agreed to
set up a meeting with the mobile home park regarding this project.

(3) Richard Hill Adams, 33532 Forster Ranch Road, spoke of the traffic congestion at the
intersection of San Juan Creek Road and Valle Road, and of concerns with the
alignment of the Valle Road/I-5 on -ramps. He inquired when improvements would
be completed. He also stated that he had been assured by the developers that the
equestrian trails will connect with existing trails. Mr. Tomlinson advised that the I-5
ramps on Valle Road would be realigned and signalized; Valle Road improvements
would be completed before any occupancy permits were granted.
There being no further input, the hearing was closed.
Council Comments:
Council Member Jones supported the recommendation of approval. He felt that the
differences between the previously -approved project and this project were relatively minor;
that there was still more open space than required by the General Plan; and, there was a
decrease in density. He liked the transfer of the public institutional lot from its former
location to the proposed 2 -acre site and that the potential for a church use on the former site
was a good idea.
Council Member Greiner indicated concerns about traffic impacts from various projects in this
area; however, as long as the traffic mitigations could be made the project would be
acceptable. He felt that if the documentation which will be provided by staff indicated that
the 1'/2:1 geogrid slopes were as stable as the 2:1 slopes he would have no objections. He
indicated he had no major problems with the project; that the 8 -acre public institutional site
might be preferable, but he had no strong objection to the transfer of designations.
Council Member Hart stated he was not opposed to the project; however, he had the
following concerns that needed to be addressed: the conversion of open space to residential;
the surface easement over the landfill and its final closure; review of traffic issues as they
inter -relate to other projects being approved and built in the surrounding area; impacts on the
adjacent mobile home park; and, a time frame for Valle Road/San Juan Creek Road
intersection improvements. He suggested the item be continued to allow staff time to answer
his concerns.
Mayor Swerdlin cited concurrence with many of the comments made. He also requested a
review of the townhome CC&Rs to assure that the homeowners associations have effective
tools to deal with potential problems. Council Member Campbell stated concerns that there
were 3 -story buildings proposed in the project; and further noted her concerns with the 11/2:1
slopes and the traffic situation. She concurred with the proposed continuance of the item.
Council Member Jones felt the newly -proposed project was in some ways a superior project
to the original one and emphasized that the closure of the landfill had always been a
prerequisite to development of the project. He stressed that the intersection improvements
were definitely needed and would not get done until development began.
Continuation of Item:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Campbell, and
unanimously carried to continue this matter to the Council meeting of December 2, 1997, to
allow consideration of issues relating to the conversion of open space to residential, the

landfill surface easement, traffic issues and intersection improvements, the impact on the
Capistrano Terrace Mobile Home Park, and CC&Rs concerns.
The City Attorney received clarification that the public hearing had been closed and that it
was Council's intent that the Hearing would not be re -opened when the item was returned to
Council for further review.

Written Communication:
Report dated November 4, 1997 from the Planning Director, advising that the United States
Supreme Court had stated that controlling the adverse secondary impacts of adult-oriented
businesses was a legitimate use of the police powers delegated to local jurisdictions; however,
regulations were not to be designed in a maturer that would preclude the establishment of such
businesses. The proposed Ordinance would allow adult-oriented businesses in the CM
(Commercial Manufacturing) and MP (Industrial Park) Districts.
Mr. Tomlinson made an oral presentation in which he noted that on November 19, 1996, the
City Council had established a moratorium on adult business permit processing to allow for
the preparation of a revised set of licensing, locational and operational standards for
controlling the secondary impacts of such uses. He advised that, in preparing the proposed
ordinance, previous studies on secondary adverse impacts had been reviewed, and the need
to preclude locations adjacent to sensitive land uses, such as schools, parks, churches, had
been considered. Licensing standards for both operators and performers had been prepared
to ensure that such individuals had not previously been convicted of one or more violations
of specific provision of the Penal Code. Specific facility design and operational standards had
been established to ensure that the operational characteristics would not contribute to
prohibited criminal activity, the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods,
nor the concentration or clustering of such businesses in any area. He indicated that the
amendment incorporated the comments and suggestions of the City Attorney and the Chief
of Police Services. He outlined the ordinance format, including a discussion of the purpose
and intent of each section. The ordinance also provided specific procedures for suspension
of permits and an appeal process. Mr. Tomlinson concluded by emphasizing that the
ordinance addressed the foundation requirements to control this particular type of use
consistent with protecting rights granted by the Constitution; its provisions were designed to
ensure that appropriate regulations had been instituted to protect the community from the
adverse secondary effects of such activities; and, the provisions of the ordinance provide at
least seven sites within the designated districts for such use.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Swerdlin opened the Public Hearing, and
there being no response, the hearing was declared closed with the right to reopen at any time.
Certification of Negative Declaration and Introduction of Ordinance Amending the
Municipal ode:
The City Clerk read the title of the Ordinance in order. Further reading of all Ordinances had
been waived earlier in the meeting. It was moved by Council Member Campbell, seconded

Report dated November 4, 1997 from the Planning Director, advising that the Los Rios
Precise Plan had been adopted in 1978 to guide development in the Los Rios Historic District.
Since that time several amendments had been approved and various land use issues have been
identified which require attention, including issues not originally addressed by the Plan. The
Report recommended adoption of a resolution establishing a strategy and public review
process for conducting an update study of the Los Rios Precise Plan
Mr. Ramsey made an oral presentation, advising that, since the Los Rios Precise Plan was
established in 1978, there had been five amendments to the Plan but no comprehensive
update. The original review process had taken two years; however, the update review should
take approximately eight months and would allow time for extensive public involvement.
Council Comments:
Mayor Swerdlin emphasized that the review was being undertaken to ensure that the City
protects the historic, rural, family-oriented neighborhood in the best way possible. He stated
that he would like two council members on the committee, in addition to the proposed
commission members, and would like to require that the Issues and Options Working Paper
be presented to the Advisory Committee rather than City Council.
Adoption of Resolution:
It was moved by Council Member Campbell, seconded by Council Member Hart, that the

of two Planning Commissioners, one member each from the Transportation, Parks,
