ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
CITY MANAGER
1. APPEAL OF CITY MANAGER'S ADMINISTRATIVE DETERMINATION
PURSUANT TO URGENCY ORDINANCE 639 - PACIFIC POINT (FORSTER
CANYON) PROJECT (TMC DEVELOPMENT INC.) (420.301
Written Communications:
Report dated March 21, 1989, from the City Manager
requesting that the' appeal to the City Manager by TMC
Development be continued until such time as a determination
is made relative to the use of Urgency Ordinance 639 due
to the fact that Measure X was found unconstitutional by
the courts.
Letter dated March 16, 1989, from Michael J. Schlesinger
of TMC Development indicating concurrence with the
continuation.
Continuation of Appeal:
It was moved by Councilman Buchheim, seconded by Councilman
Bland, and unanimously carried that the appeal of the City
Manager's administrative determination by TMC Development
to develop a piece of property was continued to the meeting
of April 4, 1989, so that clarification can be made

2. CONSIDERATION OF TWO RESOLUTIONS BY THE ORANGE COUNTY
DIVISION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES - RENTAL
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES (140.20)
Written Communication:
Report dated March 21, 1989, from the Assistant City
Manager forwarding two resolutions from the Orange County
Division of the League indicating support from the City for
the following two issues:
a. Rental Assistance Program - This Resolution supports
the continuation of the Section 8 Rental Assistance
Program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of _
Housing and Urban Development and provides low-income
families with decent, safe, and sanitary housing at
affordable prices. As Federal regulations will reduce
the Orange County Housing Authority's assistance by
2,700 units by 1990, the Resolution recommends that
-6-
3/21/89
r ®o7
HUD and the U.S. Congress take appropriate action to
continue the assistance provided through the Section
8 Rental Assistance Program.
b. Cable Television Services - This Resolution calls for
the National League of Cities to set a higher priority
in its efforts for cable revisions and to move the
issue to the forefront of their agenda since the Cable
Television Act of 1984 and the Post -Cable Act court
decisions severely restricted local governments'
abilities to ensure consumer protection. Main issues
of concern are greater protection from First Amendment
claims of operators, clarification of jurisdictional
boundaries between federal, state, and local
authorities, a broader definition of effective
competition allowing local regulation of basic rates,
and broader standards for local governments regarding
renewals and basic technical standards which are now
preempted by the FCC.
Support for Resolutions:
It was moved by Councilman Bland, seconded by Councilman
Buchheim, and unanimously carried that the City support the
following Resolutions:
RESOLUTION P-5-89 - RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE
COUNTY DIVISION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA
CITIES IN SUPPORT OF THE CONTINUATION OF SECTION
8 RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
RESOLUTION P-4-89 - RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE
COUNTY DIVISION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA
CITIES CALLING FOR THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES

-7-
3/21/89

soliciting vital public opinion and input regarding the

ascertaining the public's support for various proposals,
and to ensure that the community is kept abreast of the
progress being made on a regular basis. As the item was
not included in the 1988-89 fiscal budget, a budget
appropriation is required.

agreement with Ellis/Hart Associates, Inc. to provide
public affairs consulting services regarding the
acquisition of agricultural and other lands for park, open

DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
1.
Written Communication:
Report dated March 21, 1989,
Community Planning and Development
the Planning Commission's decision
to deny the color modification
Corporate Plaza.
from the Director of
regarding the appeal of
on February 28, 1989,
request for San Juan
The City Planner gave the staff presentation. The color
palette proposed by the applicant and the color palette
originally approved by the Planning Commission were on
display. Mr. Tomlinson stated that it was the Planning
Commission's concern, at their meeting of February 28,
that the white color proposed for the building by the
3/21/89
010
applicant was too stark in appearance, not compatible with
adjacent buildings in the area, and not consistent with
the general color palettes of other buildings in the City.
It was noted that the building was already painted with
the applicant's proposed colors prior to the applicant
requesting approval for the color modification from the
Planning Commission, but this fact did not influence the
Planning Commission's decision to deny the color
modification.
Walter Gayner of Republic Commercial Company, 22952
Alcalde Drive, Laguna Hills, pointed out the differences
between the original rendering of the project -and the
colors that presently exist. Mr. Gayner emphasized that
the reason for the color modification was his desire to
create a more traditional -looking building and based his
color scheme on historical buildings of the Santa Barbara
area, which staff informally supported. He explained that
because of numerous unforeseen obstacles which occurred on
his property during construction (e.g. groundwater
problems) and to speed up the construction process after
being five months behind on the project, he went ahead and
painted the buildings without review and approval by the
Architectural Board of Review and the Planning Commission.
Gil Jones, 31791 Los Rios, clarified the position of the
Planning Commission that when the colors were originally
approved by the Planning Commission, it was specifically
indicated at that time that any modification to the color
palette required another review and approval process.
Approval of the modifications after they have been
completed is not appropriate and upsets the development
process and is not fair to other developers who adhere to
the process.
It was the general feeling of the Council that the
applicant should be severely admonished for violating the
development process and that the applicant's decision to
move ahead was technically incorrect. However, due to the
many favorable comments that were received by individual
Councilmen regarding the appearance of the Plaza, it was
decided that returning to the original color palette at
much expense to the developer did not seem warranted. It
was also felt that the white paint used for the building
would weather with time and tone down in brightness.

Upholdina of Anneal:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by
Councilman Buchheim, and unanimously carried that the
appeal of the Planning Commission's decision regarding the
color modification to the site plan, AC 85-3, for the San
Juan Corporate Plaza, be upheld, with the colors to remain
as presently existing on the building.
HISTORIC DEPICTION PROGRAM - AC 87-9 (SELIGMAN) (610.30)
Written Communication:
Report dated March 21, 1989, from the Director of Community
Planning and Development regarding the proposed historic
depiction program for Capistrano Business Center, a mixed-
use office, light industrial, and service commercial
business park located near the westerly terminus of Paseo
Espada within Planning Sector B of the Ortega Planned
Community.
The City Planner gave a brief staff presentation,
summarizing the reviews of the Architectural Board of
Review, Cultural Arts and Heritage Commission, and the
Planning Commission, with all three recommending approval.
As President of the Sister Cities Association, Councilman
Schwartze suggested that the city in Argentina to which
the swallows depart San Juan Capistrano be changed from
Buenos Aires to the correct city of Goya.
Approval of Historic Depiction Program:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by
Councilman Buchheim, and unanimously carried that the
historic depiction program for AC 87-9 be approved, subject
to the following condition:
The proposed bronze plaque at the edge of the
pool honoring the Swallow of San Juan Capistrano
shall include a brief summary as recommended by
the Cultural Arts and Heritage Commission, as
follows:
"The legend of the swallows' return to San Juan
Capistrano was passed down through generations
of the early Indians that once inhabited this
region. The earliest documentation of the
swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano was
-11-
3/21/89
012
recorded by Father Fermin Fuster on March 19,
1777. The swallows arrive at the Mission of San
Juan Capistrano yearly on March 19 and depart to
Goya, Argentina, on October 23. San Juan
Capistrano is a designated bird sanctuary."
3. CONFIRMATION OF TREE INSPECTOR'S DECISION TO APPROVE THE
REMOVAL OF 21 EUCALYPTUS TREES ADJACENT TO SAN JUAN CREEK
ROAD AT CAMINO LACOUAGUE (LACOUAGUE RANCH) (410.90)
Written Communications:
Report dated March 21, 1989, from the Director of
Community Planning and Development, forwarding the report
of the tree inspector, Robert B. Nesbitt, Jr. of Nesbitt
and Associates, which recommended removal of 21 eucalyptus
trees from an existing windrow along San Juan Creek Road
adjacent to the Lacouague Ranch property and requested a
drip irrigation system be installed in order to improve
the health of the remaining trees, with the property owner
to remove the illegal fill adjacent to the trees. In
accordance with the maintenance agreement with the City,
the property owner is to install 21 replacement trees.
The removal of trees and installation of a drip irrigation
system was estimated at $6,000.
Letter to the City Council from the property owner, Jean
P. Lacouague, regarding the inspector's proposal.
Jean Lacouague, 28612 San Juan Creek Road, read his letter
aloud regarding the detrimental effects of pruning the
subject trees in July 1988; earth fill around certain tree
trunks; negative impact on trees from severe winters of
1978-81 and beetle infestation; license agreement with the
City; question of low rainfall effect on trees; plantings
of oleanders, California live oaks, and Canary Island
pines (at property owner's expense); care of the trees,
and his requests for the removal of the trees. He stated
that if Dividend Development continues the grading along
San Juan Creek Road and construction of a perimeter wall,
the City's cost for the removal of the trees will be much
higher since the trees could not simply be bulldozed out.
Mr. Lacouague requested that all 42 trees be removed due )
to the Borer Beetle infestation and potential liability
therefrom, that the oaks and pines be allowed to grow
-12-
3/21/89
r 0T 02
unimpeded with proper care, and that he will try to
withhold the construction of the perimeter wall in order
to decrease the cost of removing the trees.
Approval of Tree Removal:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by
Councilman Buchheim, and unanimously carried that:
(1) All 42 trees be removed;
(2) Oak and pine trees to grow unimpeded, with
Mr. Lacouague providing proper care;
(3) Mr. Lacouague to try to delay the perimeter wall
construction by Dividend Development;
(4) The license agreement between the Mr. Lacouague and
the City to become void upon removal of trees; and
