Proposal:
Consideration of an appeal of the Planning Commission's action of November 24,1992, which required
the applicant to secure a lot line adjustment to consolidate two lots prior to the construction of a tennis
court. The applicants proposed construction of a tennis court on a lot adjacent to and separate from
the primary residence. The project did not meet Municipal Code standards since tennis courts are

allowed only as accessory uses. The hearing was continued from the meeting of January 5, 1993, at the
request of the appellant.
Applicant/Procerty Owner/Appellant:
Bob and Beth Rohe
26212 Calle Roberto
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated February 2, 1993, from the Planning Director, recommending that the Planning
Commission's condition be upheld.
(2) An alternative condition submitted by staff requiring the applicant to secure a grant deed
restriction on the tennis court parcel (Parcel 3). The document would state that the tennis
court was an accessory use for the adjacent lot and not a principle use, and that the court shall
be removed upon sale or other conveyance of Parcel 3 unless it became an accessory use to a
new residence on the lot. The deed restriction would be in favor of the City, with any sale of
the tennis court lot subject to notification of the City prior to close of escrow.
Mechelle Lawrence, Assistant Planner, made an oral presentation. She discussed the alternative
condition to require a grant deed restriction for Parcel 3, which staff recommended be approved if the
lot line adjustment was not desired by the Council. She noted that the grant deed restriction would
bring Parcel 3 into compliance with the Municipal Code and would alert future buyers of Parcel 3 that
the tennis court must be removed or a residence built on the parcel. She noted that the applicant
supported the condition for a grant deed restriction.
Public Hearin¢:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing, and the following
person responded:
(1) Stephen Coontz, attorney for the appellants, stated that the condition for a grant deed
restriction was acceptable.
There being no further input, the hearing was declared closed with the right to reopen at any time.

2. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION OF DECEMBER 8. 1992. RELATING
TO OUTDOOR LIGHTING OF AN EXISTING ATHLETIC FIELD CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 92-02 (PATRICK MEEK) (460.70)
Proposal:
Consideration of an appeal of the Planning Commission's action of December 8,1992. The Commission
had approved night lighting at an existing athletic field on the Rancho Capistrano property located at
29251 Camino Capistrano; however, the Commission also required that prior to the issuance of any
electrical permits a master plan for the Rancho Capistrano Religious Facility be submitted.
Properly Owner:
Rancho Capistrano
34118 Pacific Coast Highway
Dana Point, CA 92629
Architect:
Patrick Meek
34118 Pacific Coast Highway
Dana Point, CA 92629
Written Communication:
Report dated February 2,1993, from the Planning Director, recommending that a Resolution be adopted
approving the outdoor night lighting and deleting the condition recommended by the Planning
Commission. Staff felt that submission of a master plan was unnecessary for this application as the
project represented a minor expansion of the existing facility and did not represent a new use for the
site.
Exhibits were on display, and Mr. Tomlinson made an oral presentation. He noted that several
community athletic groups raised funds to use a field which would no longer be unavailable when the
congregate care facility approved at that location was constructed. The application was to provide
lighting at the field immediately north of the present site which would simply replace the field currently
in use. He further advised that the City had been working with Rancho Capistrano in the development
of a master plan for both the area in the City's sphere of influence and the area located on the old
Bathgate ranch area in the City.
Public Hearin ¢:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing, and the following
person responded:
(1) Steve Warner, manager of Rancho Capistrano, explained that because of the loss of the old
field, Rancho Capistrano requested that the athletic groups raise funds for lighting of a new
field. He noted there is no master plan for the site at this time nor in the immediate future,
which would delay the installation of lighting at the new field for a considerable length of time.
He requested that the lighting be approved to accommodate local athletic groups. He stated —
he supported the other conditions recommended by staff.
There being no further input, the hearing was declared closed with the right to reopen at any time.
Council Discussion:
Council Member Hausdorfer noted the increasing demand for athletic fields in the area and felt that
Rancho Capistrano should be commended for allowing this type of use on its property. Council
Member Vasquez felt that the lighting at ball fields in San Clemente and Laguna Niguel were
unattractive and recommended that the aesthetics of the lighting be considered for the new field.

of the City's desire to have a Master Plan prepared prior to the processing of any discretionary
approvals for Rancho Capistrano within the City's sphere of influence.

Review of the Open Space Master Plan Implementation Report, including proposed project funding
recommendations and solicitation of bids for the preparation of site and architectural plans.
Aoolicant:
City of San Juan Capistrano
32400 Paseo Adelanto
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated February 2, 1993, from the Director of Community Services, forwarding the Open
Space Master Plan Implementation Report for acceptance and recommending approval of the
proposed project funding and solicitation of requests for proposals for the preparation of the
necessary site and architectural plans.
(2) Letter to the City Clerk dated February 1, 1993, from Marceile Pickhardt, 26172 Via Monterey,
requesting that plans for the Kinoshita Farm site include the removal of packing bones and old
cars located at the comer of Del Avion and Alipaz Street.
Mr. King presented an overview of the Open Space Master Plan process to date. He noted that
numerous letters in support of additional soccer fields and lighting for the fields had been received and
City Council Minutes -5- 2/2/93
224
would be submitted to the City Clerk. Mr. Tomlinson summarized the goals, objectives, and criteria
established by the Open Space Master Plan workshop participants and noted that staff made every effort
not to lead the process, direct the workshop participants, or make any recommendations. Mr. Ramsey
explained the difference between allocated and unallocated projects and noted the modifications made
by staff for funding of the community center and the rehabilitation of the Joel Congdon residence.
Regarding on-site parking at the Kinoshita Farm site, Mr. Tomlinson explained that the initial phase
of the parking would accommodate overflow parking from the proposed athletic facilities and community
center and would ease potential (and existing) problems with parking in nearby neighborhoods. He
stated that staff needs to establish the type of use, type of group, and ongoing maintenance of the
Congdon residence before rehabilitating the structure. He noted that because of IRS regulations, the
City could not operate the Swanner residence as a bed and breakfast establishment; however, staff is
currently investigating the possibility of moving the proposed nature center into the Swanner residence.
Mr. King commended the following Open Space Citizens Advisory Committee for their outstanding
efforts: Pauline Leonard, Vickee Donoho, Wilson Buckner, and Jerry Harris. He also expressed
appreciation to staff of the Sun Post, the Capistrano Valley News, and the Orange County edition of The
Los Angeles Tunes for the many articles published on the Open Space Master Plan which kept residents
informed of its progress.
Public Hearin¢:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the Public Hearing, and the following
persons responded:
(1) Mike Roy, commissioner of local soccer league Region 87, stated that he and other directors
of youth services in the local area decided to establish a task force to assist in the plans for
athletic fields at the Kinoshita Farm site, which he felt should be divided among soccer,
baseball, and football uses. He noted the poor condition of existing fields and the need for
additional fields to accommodate the growing number of local youth participating in soccer.
He felt that the City should develop fields similar to those in Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, and
San Clemente and noted that the World Cup of Soccer would be held in the area in 1994.
(2) Roy Nunn, 31011 Paseo Valencia, spoke as a Design Review Commissioner and an architect
who specializes in the design of recreational facilities. He commended the Open Space Master
Plan and inquired about the refurbishment of the Marco Forster field to accommodate soccer
play. He felt that efforts should be concentrated on improving existing facilities to make them
available as soon as possible.
Mr. Tomlinson explained that arrangements for the refurbishment and use of Marco Forster
field needed to be coordinated with the Capistrano Unified School District, and different types
of funding sources needed to be identified because of restrictions in the bond issuance.
(3) Jack Tarr, 27452 Calle Arroyo, requested that the Open Space Master Plan be amended to
include two additional soccer fields to accommodate local youths and felt that the fields could
be implemented at less cost than estimated in the Implementation Report.
(4) Larry Bingham, 31241 Via Cuartel, president of the San Juan Capistrano Little League, stated
that the league combined its efforts with the soccer leagues for the implementation of athletic
fields. He noted the poor condition of the fields in the City and the large number of youth
wanting to participate in local sports. He recommended that existing fields be improved to
provide athletic uses as soon as possible.
(5) Doug Lowe, San Juan Capistrano resident, spoke in favor of additional soccer fields at the
Kinoshita Farm site. He noted the need to provide soccer facilities for the under -privileged,
at -risk youth in the City and suggested that the City subsidize these youths to encourage their
City Council Minutes -6- 2/2/93
participation. He recommended that access to the fields be limited and that the uses be rotated
on a regular basis to prevent overuse. He felt that the City should reconsider the need for a
nature center at the North San Juan site because of the proximity of two other nature centers
to the City: Caspers Park and the Marine Institute in Dana Point.
(6) Mike Redding, 25775 Avenida Pedregal, spoke in support of the projects listed as unallocated
funds. He urged that implementation of the nature center move forward as soon as possible
and submitted photographs of the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens, upon which the nature
center could be modeled. He emphasized that the consensus of the workshop participants had
always been on the need for all types of uses for the City's open space areas, not just
recreational facilities, to demonstrate the City's values towards its history and open space areas.
(7) Tom Crane, general manager of Capistrano Dodge, 33301 Camino Capistrano, emphasized that
it was more important that the Plan be done in a quality way rather than trying to please
everyone.
(8) Tracy Stoltz, executive director of the Fran Joswick Therapeutic Riding Center, noted that her
center was included as an unallocated project and requested that the Open Space Master Plan
continue to include the center in its plans.
(9) Karen Noble, 28772 Calle Posada, member of the Region 87 soccer league, noted the loss of
two fields in the City for soccer play (Buchheim and Stone fields) and urged that the City
approve additional athletic fields to serve the growing number of youth in the area.
(10) Marlene Draper, 31141 Via Cristal, member of the School Board, stated that the School
District was in the process of redesigning the Buchheim and Stone fields and noted that
portable units that were placed on some of the fields have restricted some of the athletic uses.
Although funding was limited, she stated that the District was willing to work with the City
regarding the use of these fields.
There being no further input, the hearing was declared closed with the right to reopen at any time.
Council Comments:
Council Member Hausdorfer recommended that the City concentrate on the implementation of two
soccer fields and two baseball fields at the Kinoshita Farm site, with minimal improvements made at
the North San Juan site. He recommended that $1.5 million be spent on improvements, with $500,000
kept in reserve. He felt it was unfair to spent a substantial amount of funds at the North San Juan site
until adequate access has been provided to the site and noted that the site lends itself to a more natural
setting. He suggested that the community center be made a lower priority, that the creation of two
soccer fields and two baseball fields at the Kinoshita Farm site be made a higher priority, and that funds
be invested in a series of minimal improvements at the North San Juan site. He suggested that the City,
in conjunction with the Cities of Dana Point and Laguna Niguel, form a joint task force to review
recreational needs and funding resources for the region because of overlapping uses.
Council Member Campbell felt that the City's senior citizens were entitled to the center and felt that
the priorities set by the Open Space Master Plan workshop participants should be upheld. Council
Member Hausdorfer noted there were other locations in the City which serve the needs of a community
center, such as the Hot Springs Dance Hall and the Old Fire Station, and felt that priority should be
placed on addressing the needs of the City's youth first.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Nash, Mr. King explained that overuse and the installation
of portable units caused the loss of many athletic uses at the Buchheim, Stone, and Ambuehl School
fields. Council Member Nash noted that the soccer leagues had over three years in which to provide
their input to the Open Space Master Plan process and stated she supported the proposed Open Space
City Council Minutes -7- 2/2/93
226
Master Plan Implementation Report because of her belief in the importance of the Open Space Master
Plan process that has been conducted to date. She noted that the City already has two more athletic
fields than what is expected for this size of community and suggested that other cities be encouraged
to develop athletic facilities to share in the regional obligation to serve local youths. She felt that no
city should have to bear the brunt of the activity, noise, traffic, and lights associated with sports facilities.
Since the funds came from the community, she felt that no one organization should take priority. _
Council Member Vasquez indicated he would support the staff recommendation because of the balance
of proposed uses. Mayor Jones emphasized the importance of the proposed community center at the
sports park complex and noted the inadequacy of such facilities in the City.

Direction to Staff:
With the concurrence of the second, the motion was amended to include encouragement to staff to work

providing athletic facilities for the region.

written communication:
Report dated February 2, 1993, from the Planning Director, recommending that the City Manager be
authorized to execute the Agreement for Consulting Services with Keyser -Marston Associates, Inc. as
a land economist to assist with the preparation of the Historic Town Center Master Plan. On
November 20, 1992, the Planning Department solicited a request for qualifications for the assessment
of fiscal and feasibility impacts of different development scenarios for the Historic Town Center, and
five firms were interviewed.
Mr. Tomlinson made an oral presentation.

Council Discussion:
Council Member Hausdorfer expressed concern whether it was premature to hire a consultant until
there was a concept plan that the community agreed upon. Although he felt the firm was highly
qualified, he questioned whether the City should spend $40,000 to obtain answers already known and
before a concept plan is supported by the community. Mr. Tomlinson explained that as part of the
process, the consultant would identify various development standards and lending institutions to
determine whether certain uses would be economically viable, with a subconsultant to assist in
identifying various types of funding programs and qualification requirements. The consultant could also
perform initial testing of proposals that resulted from the workshop process to determine their
feasibility. Mr. Scarborough stated that the consultant would also address the various financial
constraints and opportunities of uses, such as square footage in terms of revenue to the City. The
community would then be able to review the financial feasibility of the various options considered. Since
the CRA already owned the property, the consultant could also determine how much the City would
underwrite the property value. Council Member Hausdorfer felt that the answers could be better
obtained from the marketplace.
Council Member Vasquez felt that the community should reach a consensus regarding the concept plans
for the Historic Town Center before hiving the economist. Council Member Nash felt that the hiring
of the economist to verify the economics of the entire plan was a reasonable step in the Historic Town
Center process since it was absolutely essential to understand the process and to determine whether
certain options were realistic. Council Member Hausdorfer felt that this step was premature in that the
community should invest time in the project before money is invested. Mr. Tomlinson explained that
the fust four workshops with the economist would be educational, followed by an investigation of various
types of funding sources and how the project financing could be leveraged. Very little money would be
spent in this fust phase. After consulting with various community groups, such as the Chamber of
Commerce, the economist would then test the options recommended by the workshop.
Council Member Hausdorfer recommended that "checkpoints" be included in the process and stated he
would support a process that would involve community meetings and education that would cost little
money initially.
Continuation of Item:
It was moved by Council Member Hausdorfer, seconded by Council Member Vasquez, that the item
be continued to the meeting of February 16, 1993, for staff to provide additional detailed information
explaining the importance of hiring the economist at this time in the process. The motion was carried
with Mayor Jones absent.
Mayor Jones returned to the podium and presided.

Written Communication:
Report dated February 2, 1993, from the Director of Engineering and Building, recommending that
funding be requested from the Orange County Combined Transportation Funding Program for
construction of the widening of Del Obispo Street on the west side from Paseo De La Paz to Calle
Aspero, and the design and construction of the realignment of Ortega Highway Realignment to align
Verdugo Street at Camino Capistrano.
Public Input:
David Swerdlin, 26172 Via de Toledo, commended Council Member Hausdorfer's efforts on the Orange
County Transit Authority. He asked the City Attorney whether the realignment of Ortega Highway
would require a public forum to address funding because of its impact on the historic downtown area.
Mr. Denhalter explained that grant funds are applied for during the two-year nomination process for
fiscal year 1995-96; once funding is received, the public process would begin to determine how the funds
are to be spent. If the community decides the fund should not be used for the Ortega Highway
realignment, the funds can be reallocated or returned to the State. Mr. Scarborough noted that the
project has been in the City's Capital Improvement Budget for several years, and that he had requested
staff to delay board/commission review of this project until the Historic Town Center project is further
along.

events; noted the free advertising from various publications, including Sunset magazine; and,

the promotion of the City and its businesses. She cited their goals for increased revenue, but
noted that unforeseen governmental regulations was making it difficult to continue operations.
She requested understanding and assistance from the City.
(2) Mike Darnold, 26022 Avenida Mariposa, noted that the event organizers have received no
complaints and requested the City's assistance to resolve issues regarding taxes and insurance
so that the event no longer operates in a deficit.
(3) Gil Jones, 31791 Los Rios Street, noted that the City Attorney advised that although the item
constituted a conflict of interest for the him, he could speak on the matter as a resident. He
spoke of the organizers' hardships to hold the event each month and expressed concern that
the event would not continue unless they received some assistance from the City. He felt that
the event has been very well received by the community and noted his participation in all of the
events to date. He stated his belief that businesses which benefit financially from the event but
who are not actual participants have an obligation to contribute to the event to keep it
successful.
Council Comments:
Council Member Hausdorfer stated the event should be a combination business/private partnership as
an investment in the community. He emphasized the importance of attracting people into the downtown
area. Council Member Vasquez noted the organizers' rule that prohibits competing businesses from
participating in the same event. He suggested that the number of participating businesses be expanded
to create additional revenue for the event, particularly if the City were to subsidize the event. He
suggested that some businesses be rotated out to let others participate. Council Member Nash
concurred and suggested that the fees for booths be raised to help offset the deficit. Council Member
Campbell noted attendance at the event by out-of-town visitors and felt that costs for the event would
continue to decline.
Ms. EMein noted that in 1992 they charged three times the amount for booths than other event
organizers, e.g. S2004300 for regular vending booths and $400 for food booths. Complaints were
received from some vendors regarding the high fees and their inability to recover their expenses;
therefore, the fees were lowered this year to attract more vendors. She stated that if there were too
many competing vendors in one event, the profits would be diluted and vendors would not recover their
expenses. She explained that since some vendors have been very loyal to the event and have helped to
support it from its inception, the organizers did not wish to exclude them.
Recommendations for San Juan Market Place:
It was moved by Council Member Hausdorfer, seconded by Council Member Campbell, and carried with
Mayor Jones absent, that:
(1) The Council fords that the San Juan Market Place has been a beneficial and exciting new
community event and that its operation be continued. The event organizers, Tricia Elflein and
Mike Darnold, were commended for their outstanding efforts.
(2) Staff was authorized to credit the Market Place for the differential between the cost of the
insurance provided to the Market Place by the City and the cost of new insurance obtained by
the Market Place organizers (up to $1,800).
(3) Staff and the event organizers were directed to conduct discussions for determining alternatives
to further reduce the event's direct and indirect costs to the City.
(4) Staff was requested to include funding support for the Market Place as part of the Fiscal Year
1993-94 community promotions budget request.

Council Member Campbell inquired whether it would be easier to refurbish existing fields for athletic
play than to construct new fields. Mr. King advised that although existing fields were being used for
practice, they were not suitable for play because of some portions being used for parking or structures

even if the fields could be refurbished, they could not be rotated enough to keep them in playing
condition.
