3. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION OF DECEMBER 18. 1990 -
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL 90-7. TINY'S RESTAURANT AT ORTEGA/DEL
OBISPO PLAZA DEL ORTEGA (S. ALAN SCHWARTZ & ASSOCIATES)
(410.60)
Mayor Friess left the Chamber due to a conflict of interest.
Written Communication:
Report dated February 19, 1991, from the Director of Plan-
ning, forwarding the appeal submitted by The Friends of
Historic San Juan Capistrano opposing the approval by the
Planning Commission of a site development application for a
22,300 -square -foot retail/office complex on the Tiny Naylor Is
Restaurant site located at 27000 Ortega Highway. The appeal
was based on issues regarding the delegation of the build-
ing's mass and scale to the Design Review Commission and
aesthetic and cumulative impacts of the environmental review
not adequately reviewed by staff.
Exhibits were on display and Dick Bobertz, Interim Land Use
Manager, made an oral presentation. Mr. Bobertz noted that
the Design Review Commission has the authority to make minor
modifications to site plans, but that the condition to reduce
the building's mass and scale may require more than a 10%
reduction.
The Council and staff discussed various structures along Del
Obispo Street that have less of a setback than the one
proposed by the applicant (20 feet) and their visual percep-
tions.
Mark Clancey, the appellant, expressed concerns regarding the
project's visual aesthetics and setting a precedent for
future development in the area. He stated that the trans-
cript of the Planning Commission meeting did not include the
lengthy discussion among the Commissioners prior to the
motion being made regarding concerns of the building's mass
and scale. He felt that delegating these concerns to the
Design Review Commission was inappropriate and requested that
the application be returned to the Planning Commission to
obtain the exact modifications to be made to the project.
Council Discussion:
Since he could not support the project as proposed, Council-
man Hausdorfer felt that Mr. Clancey's appeal should be
-9-
2/19/91
upheld and the project returned to the Planning Commission
to address issues of mass and density.
Councilman Jones stated that although he supports the
project, issues regarding future impacts and setting of
precedent should be addressed by the Planning Commission.
Councilman Vasquez suggested that the building be set back
further to the rear of the property, which would also reduce
significant view impacts.
The applicant, Alan Schwartz, stated that the photo imaging
of the proposed project presented a distorted view of how the
building would actually appear, noting that elevation changes
on Del Obispo and the angle from where photographs were taken
affected the perception of the photographs. He stated that
the building setbacks are similar to others along Del Obispo
and noted that the two-story elevation is set back 45 feet
from the sidewalk.
Mayor pro tem Buchheim felt that the applicant offered a
reasonable explanation for the building layout.
Upholding of Appeal:
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer and seconded by
Councilman Vasquez and carried with Councilman Buchheim
voting in the negative and Mayor Friess absent that the site
development application for AC 90-07 be returned to the
Planning Commission and that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration not be certified. The Planning Commission was
directed to address general issues of mass and density and
Negative Declaration issues of cumulative effects,
circulation, and parking.
It was emphasized that the Council's direction requested that
the building mass be reduced and not just made to appear less
massive.
Mayor Friess returned to the Council Chamber.
DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND BUILDING SERVICES
1. REQUEST TO CONSIDER "NO PARKING STREET SWEEPING" IN THE
Written Communication:
Report dated February 19, 1991, from the Director of Engin-
eering and Building, forwarding the results of a petition
circulated by the residents of Dana Mesa and the follow-up
petition circulated by the City relative to a request for "No
-10-
2/19/91
053
Parking, Street Sweeping" days. Staff recommended that
parking regulations not be imposed since an insufficient
number of approvals were received from the residents.
Residential Comments:
(1) Robert Hutchinson, 25502 Via Inez Road, expressed
opposition to the proposed regulations due to the
imposition of penalties and suggested that residents
keep the streets clean themselves.
(2) John Marsden, 25522 Via Inez Road, spoke in opposition
to the proposed regulations.
(3) Ann Wood, 32501 Carreterra Drive, spoke in favor of the
proposed regulations, stating that a majority of the
residents voted in favor of them.
(4) Sylvester Obleas-Prado, 32551 Carreterra Drive, ex-
pressed opposition to the proposed regulations.
(5) Mrs. Charles Daly, 25561 Purple Sage Lane, expressed
opposition to the regulations, noting that it would be
an inconvenience for her family to move their cars.
She indicated that the streets were not that dirty and
suggested that the residents keep them clean.
Council Comments:
Mayor Friess suggested that the residents discuss the issue
at a later time and if so desired, the matter could be
brought up in June 1991 during the City budget hearings.
Councilman Jones spoke in favor of the parking regulations
and stated that moving cars to allow street sweeping would
not be an inconvenience for most residents.
Denial of Parking Request:
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer and seconded by
Councilman Buchheim and carried with Councilman Jones voting
in the negative that the request for signs indicating "No
Parking Street Sweeping" be denied based on the insufficient
number of affirmative votes received from all residents and
.based upon requirements of previous petitioners.

COUNCILMANIC ITEMS
1. LEGAL REVIEW OF CITY MANAGER'S CONTRACT AND LOANS (310.201
FINANCIAL REVIEW OF CITY MANAGER'S CONTRACT AND LOANS
(310.20)
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated February 19, 1991, from Councilman Jones
forwarding a proposed agreement for legal services with
the firm of Whitmore, Kay & Stevens to review written
and verbal employment agreements between the City and
the City Manager to evaluate the legal rights,
obligations, and enforceability;
(2) Report dated February 19, 1991, from Councilman Jones
recommending the firm of Coopers & Lybrand to perform
the financial audit.
-Mark Clancey, 31982 Via de Linda, felt that the issue to be
addressed is whether or not the no -interest loan and debt
forgiveness are legal and constitute a gift of public funds.
He questioned the reduction in the contract estimate for
Whitmore & Kay from $45,000 to $10,000 and how the City would
finance the audits. He suggested that the District
Attorney's Office conduct the municipal review to save money.
Mayor Friess explained that the Council's action only
authorized negotiations with the firms, not approval.
Regarding the issues that Mr. Clancey requested be addressed
in the contract, the City Attorney indicated that under the
proposed contract those issues would be reviewed as part of
the audit. However, Mayor Friess suggested that the issues
could be more plainly spelled out in the contract for public
benefit.
Councilman Jones indicated that his personal legal counsel
contacted the District Attorney's Office, and had been
advised they had no interest in reviewing the matter until
both the legal and financial audits are completed.
Councilman Jones noted that he conducted as much of the
negotiations with Whitmore & Kay as was possible by himself,
with minimal assistance from staff. The firm was the only
firm that had no prior affiliation with the City.
Susan Becraft, 28181 Calle San Remo, felt that the Council's
action to negotiate with Whitmore & Kay should have been made
-12-
2/19/91
earlier in the meeting of February S. Councilman Hausdorfer
stated that the purpose of the motion had been to move the
process along rather than to delay it any longer.
Commissioner Vasquez expressed concern regarding the reduc-
tion in the amount of the Whitmore & Kay contract and the
Scope of Work as outlined in the proposed contract. Because
of financial concerns, he suggested that a letter be drafted
to the District Attorney requesting that they perform the
audits.
Councilman Jones explained that the Whitmore & Kay scope of
work had been modified to delete the financial audit.
Approval of Contract with Whitmore. Kay & Stevens:
It was moved by Councilman Jones and seconded by Councilman
Hausdorfer that the contract with Whitmore, Kay & Stevens be
approved, in an amount not to exceed $10,000, with work to
be completed within 30 days. In response to Councilman
Vasquez, and with the consent of the second, the motion was
amended to include that prior to entering into the agreement
with Whitmore, Kay & Stevens, a letter shall be sent from the
City to the District Attorney inviting that office to perform
the review. A sense of urgency shall be included in the
letter, as well as a request for an immediate response to
this request. If the District Attorney's Office declines,
then the City shall proceed with the contract.
The motion carried unanimously.
Approval of Contract with Coopers & Lybrand:
It was moved by Councilman Jones, seconded by Councilman
Hausdorfer, and unanimously carried that the agreement with
Coopers & Lybrand of San Diego be approved, at an hourly rate
of $75 per hour, pending a response from the District
Attorney's Office.
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer, seconded by Councilman
Buchheim, and unanimously carried to find that the following item
was not available prior to publication of the Council Agenda and
consideration was necessary at this time.

a letter to the Agency Board stating his personal
perception of the views of San Juan Capistrano residents
regarding the Corridor, noting he would be willing to

that right as an elected official as long as the letter
