Development Plan will govern the proposed uses and development standards. A

and Development, forwarding recommendations of approval from the
reviewing Commissions and Boards and discussing issues involving

areas; flood control improvements; and traffic improvements on Camino
Capistrano. The report advised that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission had recommended installation of a traffic signal at Camino

traffic signal. The report recommended approval of the project.

Proposal:
Consideration of a rezone and general plan amendment for 5.8 acres located west of
Via Pastoral and Aguacate Road. The property is currently zoned Small Estate (ES)
and designated Low Density Residential (1.2). The proposed rezone will change the
zoning to Large Estate (EL); the proposed general plan amendment will change the
designation to Very Low Density Residential (1.1), which permits one dwelling unit
per acre. The modifications will reduce the ultimate density of the area, which will
eliminate the need to provide a full 20 -foot -wide road to serve the area and allow
construction of a less expensive sewer line to connect to existing facilities in Via
Arboleda.

the year, since the proposed General Plan Amendment for the Via Pastoral area was
tied to the proposed General Plan Amendment for the Capistrano Valley Tennis
Club,
