1. APPROVING VACATION OF A PORTION OF AVENIDA LOS CERRITOS
BETWEEN ORTEGA HIGHWAY AND RANCHO VIEJO ROAD-
ARCIRTECTURAL CONTROL 89-2 (SOUTH COAST CHRISTIAN
ASSEMBL)0(670.50)
Proposal:
Public hearing held pursuant to Council action of May 16, 1995, initiating proceedings to
vacate a portion of Avenida Los Cerritos as part of the conditions of approval for the South
Coast Christian Assembly Church. Avenida Los Cerritos will no longer be open to public
access between Ortega Highway and Rancho Viejo Road. The southern end of Avenida Los
Cerritos will terminate in a cul-de-sac in the vicinity of the Shell Gas Station driveways. The
City will retain access for emergency vehicles and public utilities. The Church will provide
easements for a new public road connecting Avenida Los Cerritos to Rancho Viejo Road.
Applicant:
South Coast Christian Assembly, P. O. Box 4647, Mission Viejo, CA 92690
Written Communication:
(1) Report dated June 20, 1995, from the Engineering and Building Director,
recommending approval of the proposed street vacation and acceptance of the new
' street and utility easements for Avenida Los Cerritos.
(2) Letter dated June 13, 1995, from Gerald J. Miller, Administrator, Mission San Juan
Capistrano, P. O. Box 697, San Juan Capistrano, 92693, indicating that the proposed
street vacation would create unacceptable access and parking for the Mission San
Juan Cemetery. The letter suggested City staff participate in a meeting with
representatives of the Mission, the Honeyman Ranch, and Caltrans to resolve issues.
Exhibits were on display and Bill Huber made an oral presentation. He addressed the recent
concern expressed by the Mission that they would lose the use of Avenida Los Cerritos for
overflow parking during events at the Cemetery. He advised that a resolution of the issue had
been reached by adding an additional recommendation to allow the Mission to continue using
the portion of Avenida Los Cerritos proposed for vacation for overflow parking during
occasions at the Cemetery.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Nash opened the Public Hearing, and the
following persons responded:
(1) David Belardes, 31742 Via Belardes, Tribal Chairman of the Juaneno Band of Mission
Indians and Member of the Cultural Heritage Commission, expressed anger that he
had not been consulted on this project, since it would appear to deny access to their
City Council Minutes -5- 6/20/95
234
ancestors' remains. He advised that to deny access to their ancestors' remains or to
infringe on that access in any way was a violation of the Native American Religious
Freedom Act. He felt that his concerns could be resolved.
Mr. Huber advised there were two separate projects in the area: the City's proposed
street vacation and Caltrans' proposal to add a third lane along westbound Ortega
Highway. The Caltrans project would remove a portion of the hill and potentially
affect access into the Cemetery. The City's proposed street vacation would not affect
the access, which will remain in its current configuration. He noted that meetings will
be coordinated with the South Coast Christian Assembly Church, the Mission and
Caltrans to determine the impacts of the proposed project. Mr. Scarborough clarified
that the City would oppose any project that would result in denying access to the
Cemetery.
(2) Gerald Miller, Administrator, Mission San Juan Capistrano, P. O. Box 697, stated the
Mission was aware of the Caltrans' project proposals and felt that the Mission's needs
could be accommodated in any of the proposals. The Mission had been concerned
with the closing of Avenida Los Cerritos due to pedestrian and vehicular access to the
Cemetery and impacts on processions and events at the Cemetery. He advised that
after conversations with City officials he felt the concerns could be resolved.
(3) David Lurker, of Voss, Cook and Thel, 840 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach,
spoke on behalf of the South Coast Christian Assembly. He clarified that access to
the Mission Cemetery would not be impeded by the street vacation. He further
clarified that approximately 45 feet of the street would be vacated and only one end
of the street would be closed off. He expressed concern that the real issue appeared
to be parking, noting that the area to be vacated was currently posted for no parking.
He advised that under their agreement with the Romarco family, the area to be
vacated was to be available only for emergency access and did not provide for parking
in that area; further, the vacated area was ultimately to be available for development
as part of the Romarco property. He stated that once the access issues were resolved
the area could be reconfigured in a way that would be acceptable to all parties. He
felt the issues should be best addressed as part of the Caltrans' project. The Church's
major concern was that there be no delay in building their project.
There being no further input, Mayor Nash closed the Public Hearing with the right to re -open
at any time.
Council Discussion:
Council Member Swerdlin requested that staff assure that both Gerald Miller and David
Belardes receive notification on issues affecting the Mission Cemetery.

Proposal:
Consideration of amendments to Title 9 of the Municipal Code, as directed by the City
Council on February 21, 1995, in conjunction with adoption of the Housing Opportunities and
Empowerment Program and Plan. The proposed amendments will create specific
development standards to facilitate senior/family housing projects and institute a fee for all

over current permitted general plan densities, in accordance with State law, for projects
guaranteeing affordability for 10 or 30 years.
Applicant:
City of San Juan Capistrano, 32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano.
Written Communication:
Report dated June 20, 1995, from the Planning Director, forwarding an analysis of the
proposed amendments.
Exhibits were on display and Mechelle Lawrence, Associate Planner, described the proposed
regulations and advised that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of this
item.
Public Hearine:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Nash opened the Public Hearing, and the
following persons responded:
(1) Pauline Leonard, 27589 Brookside Lane, spoke in support of the proposed
amendments, but stated she was disturbed by the 10 -year reference for affordability.
She hoped to persuade developers to follow at least a 30 -year affordability plan and
suggested going further and including an option for renewing an affordability period
even after the 30 years. —
(2) Ken Friess, 31506 Paseo Christina, representing the Mary Erickson Foundation, noted
that the City had previously approved the Capistrano Pointe project with affordability
incentives for the developer; however, a good program to monitor and enforce the
affordability requirements did not exist and it appeared that the requirements were not
being well -followed at that project. He stated that when additional incentives were
given for the development of a project there needed to be a way to assure that those
incentives accomplished their intended goal.
There being no further response, Mayor Nash closed the Public Hearing with the right to re-
open at any time.
Council Comments:
Council Member Swerdlin cited concerns that guaranteeing affordability for 10 years was too
short a term and suggested trying to obtain a longer term. Mayor Nash suggested that issue
could be addressed by the consultant through the Request for Proposal process for initiating
the First Time Homebuyers Program and the Rental Securement/Subsidy Assistance Program.
Mr. Tomlinson advised that State law requires cities to offer a minimum of a 25% density
bonus in exchange for guaranteeing 10 years of affordability; that to obtain a longer term
additional inducements must be offered. Mr. Tomlinson concurred with the Mayor's
suggestion that the consultant review the various types of incentive programs available. In
City Council Minutes

response to Mayor Nash, Mr. Tomlinson explained that height restrictions, rather than
' number of stories, existed in residential districts. In other non-residential districts a height
limitation of two stories existed. Council concurred with Mayor Nasws suggestion to modify
the senior/household affordable housing program development standards to only allow two
stories in height as measured from average finished grade.

Written Communications:
Report dated June 20, 1995, from the City Manager forwarding the proposed five-year
agreement for Law Enforcement Services. The cost for the Fiscal Year 1995-96 Law
Enforcement Services Agreement will be $2,817,722, which is an increase of $210,231, or
eight percent, over Fiscal Year 1994-95. The Report noted that the Agreement provided for
an additional eight hours per week for commercial vehicle enforcement and for the addition
of a full-time Deputy Sheriff. The additional Deputy will be part of the Special Enforcement
Team, which will expand its operation to provide community-based policing in targeted areas.
The City Manager made an oral report. He advised that Laguna Niguel had withdrawn from
' the Commercial Enforcement Program and Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano would be
splitting the costs. In response to Council Member Hart, Lt. Sullivan advised that the
agreement reflected the fact that the salary increases that were supposed to be effective in
October, 1994 had been taken back by the County. If the County loses its bankruptcy status
and the employee associations get the salary increases, then there would be an increase in the
costs. He emphasized that this agreement did not reflect any Deputy salary increases.
Council Member Jones questioned what portion of the increased cost was the result of the
two cities splitting the Commercial Enforcement Program costs, noting that his preference
was to direct funds toward crime prevention. Lt. Sullivan advised that of the increased costs,
$17,000 was from the increase in the Commercial Enforcement Program. The City Manager
advised that the program generated revenue for the City. Council Member Campbell
questioned what percentage of revenue was generated by the program and whether it could
be raised by tougher enforcement. The City Manager stated that if the judges assessed all the
fines they were legally able to assess, the City would receive more revenue. In response to
Council Member Campbell, the City Manager stated a letter to the appropriate judges citing
the City's concerns would be prepared for the Mayor's signature, and additional revenue
information regarding the Commercial Enforcement Program would be provided.
In response to Council Member Swerdlin, Ms. Pendleton advised that the parking control
program generated approximately $65,000 to $70,000 per year. Lt Sullivan noted that the
City Council Minutes -11- 6/20/95

Associated Senior Action Program volunteers had been empowered to write citations since
November, 1994, which had also increased revenue.
Approval of Five -Year Law Enforcement Agreement:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin and
unanimously carried to approve the Five -Year Law Enforcement Agreement with the County
of Orange for the period ending June 30, 2000, at a cost of $2,817,722 for Fiscal Year 1995-

(600,50)
Written Communications:
Report dated June 20, 1995, from the Assistant to the City Manager, forwarding a one-year
Agreement with the County of Orange for Animal Control and Shelter Services. The Report
advised that the new agreement proposed no changes from services provided in Fiscal Year
1994-95, The Report advised that the estimated cost for services during Fiscal Year 1995-96
was $102,636, which would be offset by revenues credited to the City. The adjusted cost for
Fiscal Year 1995-96 was $33,212.
Jennifer Murray made an oral presentation, noting that this agreement related to domestic
animals issues as opposed to wildlife animal issues. She advised that an analysis would be
undertaken with the cities and Dana Point and San Clemente to consider whether contracting
with the County remained the most cost-effective option for the City. In response to Council
Member Jones, she advised that the State of California had sole jurisdiction over wildlife and
local agencies were not authorized to respond to wildlife issues.
Judy Maitlin, Director of Animal Control, advised that wildlife did not come under their
purview but they would make recommendations to homeowners. She advised there were
ways to discourage wildlife activity. Animal Control would refer wildlife problems to private
sector companies who would trap the animals. In response to Council Member Hart, she
advised that Animal Control would respond in emergency situations if the wildlife was
injured.
Approval of One -Year Agreement for Animal Control and Shelter Services:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin and
unanimously carried to approve the One -Year Agreement with the County of Orange for the
period ending June 30, 1996 to provide Animal Control and Shelter Services in the estimated
adjusted cost of $33,212.
