PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 88-2 .AND REZONE 88-1 TO ALLOW
EXPANSION OF AREA AND ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT FACILITY
Proposai:
Consideration of a General Plan Amendment and Rezone to expand an existing
recreational vehicle storage facility from 544 spaces to 1,192 spaces and to establish
the facility as a permanent use. The proposed General Plan Amendment would
change the land use designation from 1.5 Medium Density Residential (8 dwelling
units per acre) to SS (Special Study). The proposed Rezone would change the
classification from AG (General Agriculture) to SP (Special Precise Plan). The
facility is located at 32532 Alipaz Street. The proposed use would encompass
approximately 15 acres. Approximately 7.25 acres of the site house the existing
use. Surrounding uses include agriculture to the west; multi -family residential and
future self -storage to the north; San Juan Creek to the east; and, a mobile home
park to the south. The property is located with the AG (Agriculture) District. The
current temporary use was granted by Conditional Use Permit 80-5 (Ehler) and 84-4
(Forster). The Conditional Use Permit will expire in 1989.
Applicant/Property Owners:
Thomas A. Forster, et al., P. O. Box 146, San Juan Capistrano.
Charles and Irene Vermeulen, 11591 Cielo, Santa .Ana.
Martin and Marion Scalzo, 522 South EI Camino Real, San Clemente.
Written Communications:
Report dated August 2, 1988, from the Director of Community Planning and
Development, setting forth concerns of the Planning Commission and adjacent
residents and forwarding the Commission's recommendation of denial based on
impacts on neighboring properties, appropriateness of the land use, and past history
of disregard for landscaping and conditions of approval. The report advised that the
applicant had since requested that the project be considered under a conditional use
permit application to allow the operation and proposed expansion as a temporary
use.
An Exhibit was on display and the Assistant Planner made an oral report, noting that
there is concern related to the permanency of use in approving a General Plan
Amendment and Rezone for this area. The Planning Commission and staff feel a
conditional use permit would give the City better control of maintenance and
development standards. The Director of Community Planning and Development
indicated that if a conditional use permit were approved by the Planning
Commission, the item would be returned to Council for a code amendment.

overcome. He concurred with the recommendation of staff for a conditional

facility, citing the need for facilities of this type and the difficulties he had in

(3) Mike Kelley, 32552 Alipaz, #3A, Valle Pacifica Homeowners Association,
spoke in opposition to the storage facility even on a temporary basis stating

commercial uses.

storage facility would not be beneficial for property values.

Association, stated that changing the zoning of the land in question from
residential to commercial would make Valle Pacifica a residential island.

describing the storage facility and reiterated that no complaints had been
received regarding the storage facility prior to the Planning Commission
hearing and that traffic should not be a problem.
