GENERAL 76-1(A (46) Mayor Nash requested that consideration of the access study for Mission Hills Ranch Phase II, which appears later on the Agenda, be combined with discussion of the petition for a General Plan Amendment as presented uy Mission Hills Ranch, Inc. Council received copies of a report dated June 2, 1976, from the Director of Planning forwarding the recommendations of the Planning Commission that the petition be denied and the present land use designations, as shown in General Plan Amendment 75-1, retained. The present land use designations would result in approximately 180 units on the property; the applicant's petition would provide for approximately 274 units. Proposed methods for implementation of the General Plan ridgeline protection designation were also forwarded to Council. Council also received copies of a report dated June 2, 1976, from George Alvarez, Secretary to the Traffic and Trans- portation Commission, forwarding the Commission recommenda- tion with regard to access for the Phase II development of Mission hills Ranch. That recommendation is that Mission Hills Drive initially serve as access to an undetermined number of units and thereafter a primary access route is to be developed in conjunction with the closure of Mission Hills Drive; the precise alignment -and the closure of Mission Hills Drive are to be determined at the tentative map stage. -3- 6/2/76 117 The Director of Planning made an oral presentation using the Composite Land Use Map and density charts as exhibits. The densities requested by the applicant would require review of the General Plan for the entire 157 acre parcel. Mr. Merrell noted ridgelines are presently designated as open space and that staff had recommended that specific criteria be included in the Land Use Code to interpret, define and protect major ridgelines in the City. Matters of access should be considered at the time a specific tract map is presented. If the Planning Commission recommendation is accepted, access would be unchanged, density would allow 180 units, and ridgeline protection would be implemented by Land Use management Code amendments. Notice having been given as provided by law, Mayor Nash declared the Public Hearing open on the request of mission Hills Ranch, Inc., for a General Plan Amendment to provide for a change in land use designations and inquired if anyone in the audience wished to address the Council. The follow- ing persons addressed the Council: 1. Justus Gilfillen, 4300 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, representing the applicant, requested that all previous testimony and reports submitted with regard to General Plan Amendment 76-1 be included in this discussion by reference. He stated that the developer should be able to use the ridgeline property or as an alternative suggested acquisition by the City or incentives to landowners. He suggested a density bonus of 5 units per acre would be more appropriate than transfer density of 1 unit per acre on general open space. He stated that they have provided detailed maps for 10 alternative access routes and should not be denied use of Mission Hills Drive for access. 2. Carl Neuhausen of Haworth, Anderson and Lafer, consultants to Mission Hills Ranch, Inc. stated that there are discrepancies in General Plan Amend- ment 75-1 and questioned the validity of existing maps. He cited the.degree of slopes in various areas, existing cut and fill, and location of equestrian facilities. Justus Gilfillen addressed tbt Council regarding the recommendation of the Traffic and Transportation Commission and requested that the matter be returned to the Commission for further review and specific recommendations. He cited several reports and studies on the use of Mission Hills Drive for access. Mr. Gilfillen also stated that on behalf of Mission Hills Ranch, Inc., a proposal had been submitted to the members of the Mission Hills Ranch Homeowners Association for their consideration. Councilman Heckscher inquired if the proposal is an alternate to the petition for a General Plan Amendment currently under consideration. Mr. Gilfillen stated that the proposal would be an acceptable package to the developer and includes the following: density and land use are as in Exhibit II, limited to 221 units; land use would.be as proposed by staff; density in specific areas as shown in the Exhibit; Chart "A" ridgeline and use restriction would remain as is; Chart "B" open space restriction on height limitation would be placed so that Mission Hills Drive is closed and_a•cul-de-sac of the street would not be opposed; Route I would be alternate access; construction of an access route on adjacent property would be acceptable to that -4- 6/2/76 1 �•A yy land owner with the land being conveyed to the City and the road constructed by another party. Mayor Nash inquired if this proposal is what the developer wishes to have adopted by the City Council, and Mr. Gilfillen stated that it would be acceptable. 3. Michael Berns, 26921 Canyon Crest Road, as repre- sentative of the Mission Hills Community Relations Committee, stated that he was not aware of any new proposal. He recommended that the primary access should be Route 5 or a road entering front the east and that secondary emergency access could be Mission Hills Drive; that Mission Hills Drive should be closed now rather than at a later date and that it should not be used for construction traffic; he requested that the City re -affirm its intention of implementing the Master Plan of Equestrian Trails. Copies of a memorandum were provided to Council. 4. Bruce Church, 26851 Canyon Crest Road, requested that the area at the top of Mission Hills Drive be a greenbelt area with a link up to the equestrian trail system. 5. Bob Olson, 27065 Mission Hills Drive, stated that current traffic is a hazard for children and animals and that additional traffic volumes would worsen the problem. 6. Melinda Broder, Lariat Circle, noted the problems of street safety and traffic and stated that autos run over the curbs and damage property. 7. Frank Bell, 30112 Silver Spur Road, President of the Homeowners Association, stated that the Board of Directors is not aware of any new proposal from the developers; the Association had voted not to approve a previous proposal due to densities. There being no one else wishing to address the Council, Mayor Nash declared the Public Hearing closed with the right to re -open at any time. General Plan Amendment 76-1(A) - (Mission Hills Ranch Phase II): (46) Following discussion between Council and representatives of the developer, it was moved by Councilman McDowell and \ seconded by Councilman Sweeney that consideration of land use designations and density be referred back to the Planning Commission for consideration of the Planning staff submittal and for consideration of the proposal submitted by Mission Hills Ranch, Inc.

It was moved by Councilman Sweeney, seconded by Councilman Heckscher and unanimously carried to approve Division of Land 76-4, subject to the findings and conditions specified in Planning Commission Resolution of approval No. PC 76-5-25-4. 2. DIVISIONS OF LAND 76-1, 76-2. 76-3, and 76-6 (McCRACKEN HILL) (85) Councilman Sweeney stepped down from the dais at this point since he has an interest in property under consideration. Council received copies of a report dated June 2, 1976, from the Director of Planning forwarding background information on the requests for approval of Divisions of Land for McCracken Hill. Action on these requests had been deferred by the Council on April 7, 1976, pending receipt of further informa- tion on sewage disposal and access. Subdivision maps were displayed for Council review. The Director of Planning advised that additional information has been considered by the Planning Commission and Environmental Review Board and that approval of the subdivisions is recom- mended with the conditions that a sanitary sewer system�nd a 40' roadway be installed prior to recording of the final maps. He further advised that the information indicates that if the entire McCracken Hill area were developed at maximum densities allowed under the present zoning, private sewer systems would not create a public health or safety problem provided they are properly installed to soils engineering standards; and, a road system 40' in width would be required at the time there are 20 dwelling units. The area under consideration consists of 35 acres with a zoning capacity of 2 units per acre. Councilman Friess stated his concerns with the cumulative effects of development with private spetic tank systems. Mayor Nash stated his concerts with allowing private sewerage systems and resultant water seepage in an area underlain by a large landslide -prone bedrock; he further questioned allowing the private systems due to the amount of grading that would be required. Leon Chaulet of Westland Associates, engineering geologists, addressed the Council and cited their report on the geological history of the area. He suggested that property owners should enter into an agreement to join a sewer assessment -9- 6/2/76 district; certain lots will not be allowed private sewer systems due to ground instability. Councilman Heckscher stated that he is concerned with the factor of inducing growth by requiring a 40' roadway and a public sewer system. Councilman Friess requested clarifica- tion of the roadway and was advised that there would be some improvements made to the existing roadway but it would not accommodate more than 20 units. It was moved by Councilman McDowell and seconded by Councilman Heckscher to determine that the information submitted is adequate and to approve the divisions of land subject to the conditions of approval contained in Planning Commission Resolution PC 76-3-16-1, but deleting the first sentence of Condition 11 which requires a public sewer prior to approval of a final parcel map. Discussion ensued between Council members and Steve McMillan, representative of three of the apllicants.
