DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS FOR BEAR BRAND RANCH PARCEL 5/RIDGELINE AREA (85) Proposal: Development of a planned subdivision to create 59 residential lots on the southern 75 acres of Parcel 5 of the Bear Brand Ranch. The request submitted to the County included a rezone of the property from Al (Agricultural) to RHE 15,000 (Residential Hillside Estates, minimum 15,000 square -foot lot size); and, a change in the Community Profile Plan from Medium Low/Medium Density to Low Density Residential. The current Community Profile Plan in the County's General Plan shows the entire ridgeline for Open Space Uses; the property owner's request would reduce the amount of ridgeline designated for Open Space Uses. The item was reviewed by Council on June 5, 1984, and referred to the Planning Commission with the notation that there was a consensus of Council that the City's position be to maintain the integrity of the ridgeline. Applicant: Robert Hill, One Upper Newport Plaza, Newport Beach, property owner. Written Communications: (1) Report dated July 3, 1984, from the Director of Community Planning and Development, providing background information, a project description, staff findings, and the Planning Commission recommendation to support the tentative map development concepts, provided the four houses on the San Juan Capistrano side of the ridgeline are eliminated and that no houses silhouette above the ridgeline. The Commission further recommended input to the County regarding the rezone and Community Profile Plan Amendment and that City staff work with the property owner on deed restrictions that will protect the ridgeline. Letters were received in opposition to development on the ridgeline from the following: (1) Barbara Adams, Past Town Hall Secretary, 25602 Mariner Drive, dated June 27, 1984; (2) Raymond C. Camero, 970 East Third Street, Los Angeles, 90012, dated June 27, 1984; (3) Michael W.

Exhibits were on display and the Director of Community Planning and Development noted that the item was under consideration by the City to provide input to the County's processing of the request. Sara Pashilides, Associate Planner, made an oral presentation, citing actions leading to development of the County's Community Profile Plan, which designated the entire ridgeline for open space uses; and, the Capistrano Valley General Plan Amendment, approved in 1974, which provided for higher density residential development on the western side of the ridgeline and preservation of the ridgeline itself. She discussed the view impacts, the location of the homes proposed on the east side of the ridge, and the Planning Commission's concerns and recommendations. Public Hearing: Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Hausdorfer opened the Public Hearing and the following person responded in support of the project: (1) Robert Hill, One upper Newport Plaza, Newport Beach, spoke in favor of the zone change and tentative tract map 12026, citing the number of studies done for the development. He stated a desire to mitigate as many concerns as possible. He discussed grading, stressing that there would be no grading of the ridgeline; that with the exception of the back cut, all grading would be behind the ridge; and, that the knoll, which will be graded and which appears as part of the ridgeline, is actually part of a secondary ridge. He stated he had no problem with staff recommendations for open space zoning of the ridgeline as shown on the tract map and for site plan review processing, advising that a building envelope matrix could be developed. However, he stated that the four lots on the east side of the ridge were necessary to make the project viable, but CC&R's could be developed with the City as beneficiary to mitigate concerns. The following persons responded in opposition to ridgeline development: (1) Doug Nash, former Council Member, 32906 Avenida Descanso, stated that a strong stand should be taken against visible ridgeline grading and any roads over the hill; that the principle of the County's 1974 action to preserve the ridgeline should be upheld; and, -4- 7/3/84 205 that development and access for the lots between the project and the Peppertree Bend development should be addressed. The Director of Community Planning and Development advised that there are nine large parcels between the project and the Peppertree Bend area; that the City had received copies of the deeds naming the City as beneficiary and prohibiting further subdivision. He advised that access would be through the saddle areas to Old Ranch Road. (2) Barbara Davies, 29391 Edgewood Road, read the letter dated July 3, 1984, in opposition to any precedent -setting development on the ridgeline. (3) Yvon Heckscher, former Council Member, 32341 Del Obispo Street, stated that all efforts should be made to preserve the ridgeline. (4) Anne Parker, 31861 Peppertree Bend Road, stated opposition to silhouetting of roofs in the project. (5) Dudley Brand, 31585 Sacarama Lane, stated he also represented the majority of homeowners in his neighborhood. (6) Carolyn Nash, representing the Planning Commission, stated that the Commission had not discussed, nor would she support, construction of the retaining wall and grading to accommodate the road. Rebuttal was presented as follows; (1) Robert Hill, stated that when the Peppertree Bend project was before the City, the University of Southern California was owner of the nine lots above Peppertree Bend and the project property. There being no further response, Mayor Hausdorfer closed the Hearing with the right to re -open at any time. Council Discussion: There was a consensus of Council in opposition to altering the ridgeline and to basically uphold the Planning Commission recommendations. Councilman Bland stated concerns with development in the saddle areas; view impacts on areas of the City not represented by the analyses; and, depiction of the roof tops on the view analyses. He suggested continuance of the item to allow discussion of actions that may be necessary depending on the County's decision. Mayor Hausdorfer expressed appreciation that the item had been brought to the City and stated that while he could not oppose the project itself, he did oppose the ridgeline development. He further stated that the action taken by the County in 1974 should be honored. -5- 7/3/84 206 Continuance of Item: It was moved by Councilman Bland, seconded by Councilman Friess, and unanimously carried that, for legal reasons, the item be continued to an adjourned meeting to be held on July 10, 1984, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chamber. 2.
