west of the area known as Hidden Valley and is proposed as

on Lot 6.
Applicant:
James W. Diffley, #1 San Mateo Way, Newport Beach 92625.
Written Communications:
Report dated March 21, 1979, from the Director of Community
Planning and Development forwarding the recommendation of
approval with conditions made by the Planning Commission on
February 27. Those conditions include constraints on
ridgeline development, landscape treatments and grading
impacts. The Environmental Review Board has determined
that the project meets minimum standards of the General
Plan and Land Use Management Code.
-3- 3/21/79
260
Exhibits were on display and the Director of Community
Planning and Development made an oral presentation and
advised that the Environmental Impact Report disclosed
visual impacts at the north end of the tract which could
be mitigated by re -design; however, the applicant wished
to present the plan for review without further change or
delay.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Friess
declared the Public Hearing open, and the following persons
responded:
(1) James Diffley, applicant and owner, advised that
changes can be made which are acceptable to all,
the development provides for protection of the
ridgeline and maintains a rural atmosphere with
biking and equestrian trails, provides road improve-
ments and will add to the City tax rolls.
Mr. Diffley urged approval of the project.
(2) Elmer Christiansen, Civil Engineer, 31882 Camino
Capistrano, spoke in support of the subdivision
and advised that the San Diego Gas and Electric
easement consists of 8.44 acres without structures
and may accommodate gardens, stables and low shrubs.
Discussion of water and sewer service and traffic
circulation ensued.
(3) Dale Smith, 31515 Paseo Christina, stated that
citizen concerns were not addressed with regard
to flow of storm water onto adjacent properties,
geology and hydrology studies, and visual impact
to the ridgeline. Mr. Smith also expressed concern
with future City follow-up on restrictions since the
proposal is for a lot sale project and suggested a
field trip be undertaken.
(4) William Munson, 31505 Paseo Christina, recommended
that the project be denied based on geotechnical
considerations and construction on the ridgeline.
(5) Bill Gardner, 30231 Silver Spur Road, representing
the Committee for the Preservation of Ridgelines,
spoke in opposition to the project based on visual
impacts and geology.
(6) Carolyn Munson, 31505 Paseo Christina, read a prepared
statement citing concerns with Planning Commission
and staff decisions, landslides, drainage, ridgeline
construction and grading, and recommended that the
project consist of 6 lots with a road along the
utility easement.
(7) Elmer Christiansen stated that the project is a
reasonable use of the land in accordance with the
General Plan, that 5% of the land area will be covered
with 25 acres predominently unchanged.
(8) Pat Lederer, 31487 Paseo Christina, cited problems
with year-round water runoff from the project area.
There being no further response, Mayor Friess declared the
Hearing closed.
Council Discussion:
Councilman Buchheim requested that a condition be added to
preclude any construction without a total geology study and
-4-
3/21/79
261
concurred with the suggestion of a field trip to view
visual impacts. Councilman Thorpe stated that the
Environmental Impact Report is inadequate since it does
not contain sufficient information to make a decision
and answer questions of geology; further, the graphic
designations of residences appear smaller than existing
residences. Mr. Thorpe also expressed concerns with a
proposed road through a saddle in the ridgeline, water
runoff and future sprinkler systems, possible landslide
conditions, and ridgeline encroachment and noted that
alternatives to this project may produce higher densities.
Mayor Friess advised that the project does not impact his
residence, which is located at the east City boundary.
Mr. Friess recommended that additional information be
included in the EIR regarding geology and drainage and
that housing distribution alternatives be presented to
alleviate view impacts and cited concern with controlling
future building and future lot splits.
Mr. Christiansen noted that preparation of the EIR is
contracted by the City, that it addresses the geology and
should be accepted as adequate since it identifies problem
areas that can be resolved. Councilman Hausdorfer and
Mayor Friess concurred in the adequacy of the Report.
Mayor Friess inquired if the applicant would agree to a
continuance of the matter. Mr. Diffley responded that
he had waived the time limits twice before and could not
agree to a continuance at this time without a decision from
the City and some indication that the project will proceed.
Adequacy of Environmental Impact Report:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze and seconded by Councilman
Hausdorfer to determine that the Environmental Impact Report
is adequate, noting that the Report has been prepared for
informational purposes and its acceptance should not be
construed as approval of denial of the project nor as
concurrence with all the information submitted. The motion
carried by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmen Hausdorfer, Schwartze and
Mayor Friess
NOES: Councilmen Thorpe and Buchheim
ABSENT: None
Denial of Rezone and Tentative Tract Map Without Prejudice:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by Councilman
Thorpe and unanimously carried to deny Rezone 78-2 and
Tentative Tract 10134 (Diffley) without prejudice which
would permit the applicant to resubmit the tract map with
Council concerns resolved.

everything on the property may be removed. The Director
of Community Planning and Development advised that if the

before the Environmental Review Board for a tree removal
permit; existing trees are usually noted on the maps.
Mayor Friess suggested that the wording on maps be changed
from "Data Required to "It shall be established that .
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Friess
declared the Public Hearing open, and the following persons
responded:
(1) Marilyn Williams, 29931 Camino Capistrano, noted pest
control problems in commercial citrus groves caused
by backyard citrus which is not cared for and stated
that the City should be responsible for problems in
agriculture preserve areas if developers are required
to retain existing citrus trees; developers should be
given the option of removing such trees.
There being no further response, Mayor Friess closed the
Hearing.
Approval of Tentative Parcel Map:
It was moved by Councilman Schwartze and seconded by Councilman
Buchheim that the following Resolution be adopted with amendments

CITY MANAGER
1. PROPOSED REDUCTION OF DEVELOPMENT FEES - SYSTEMS
DEVELOPMENT TAX
(86) Written Communications:
Report dated March 21, 1979, from the City Manager
responding to Council direction that fees paid by
developers be reduced, since the Systems Development
Tax will generate more funds than the revenue loss
caused by the passage of Proposition 13. Repeal of
Ordinances Nos. 211 and 204, which produce an average
annual revenue of $54,800, is recommended with a transfer
of accumulated funds into the Civic Center Reserve Fund.
Discussion:
Coun�man Thorpe noted that there may be a test of the
legality of the Systems Development Tax and that the City
May be required to fund a larger share of the Arterial
Highway Financing Program. The City Manager advised that
the State may require that the County assume fire protection
services after January 1, 1980.
Marilyn Williams, 29931 Camino Capistrano, spoke in
opposition to the repeal of any pre -Proposition 13 revenue
producing ordinances until the legality of the Systems
Development Tax is ascertained, since the Tax was imposed
to fund capital projects that other fees do not support.

With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Friess directed that
further consideration of reductions in development fees
be deferred until upcoming budget discussions.
