applicant and his engineer have discussed the impact of the density
limitation on the proposal. In all fairness to the applicant, when
he figured the density suffix he used the acreage figure of 38 acres"
for computation. The figure, as previously mentioned, should have
been 35.8 acres; thus his recommendation to the Planning Commission
might have been for a rezoning to R-1-2.7.
Mr. Dave Langlois, Vice President of Standard -Pacific Corp.,

ceive approval from the Flood Control Dist. & City Engineer with regard
to location of intermediate flood plain, & further, that they would

plain.

at anytime.

mended inasmuch as RZ 73-110 has been approved, that action be taken

The City Engineer reported that this development has been com-
pleted and accepted by the City and included in the work performed

of Alipaz Street between Del Obispo Street and the southerly
boundary of the subdivision. This portion of Alipaz Street fronts
upon property acquired by the City involving two real estate trans-
actions.
At the time of the approval of the subdivision there was a

the developer.

mination as to the "cash value" of the benefits to the City -owned

1. CAPISTRANO VILLAS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION #1 - REQUESTING
ORDINANCE PROHIBITING OVERNIGHT PARKING ON CERTAIN STREETS.
The City Manager stated that the Association is requesting City
assistance in eliminating commercial and recreational vehicle parking
on streets throughout their tracts. Because of limited on site
parking space on residential properties in these tracts, staff feels
it will be impossible to eliminate all vehicle parking on residential
streets in the Capistrano Villas area. Any attempt to eliminate
camper and recreation vehicle parking on any City street faces the
practical difficulty of insufficient parking areas for them on
residential lots. Without a clearly demonstrable traffic hazard or
obstruction to the flow of traffic, staff believes these kinds of
vehicles, while unpleasant in appearance to many people, are a sub-
urban fact of life which cannot be legislated out of existence by
City ordinance.
Three alternatives were presented for Council's consideration.
Following discussion, the City Manager was requested to convey
`c the As2^ociatior that doc_ to possible legal diffizulties and
enforcement the Council does not feel it can take any action in
favor of their request.

He outlined the specific proposal and stated that staff has
reviewed the Environmental Impact Report and has made a report to
the Planning Commission relative to same. At the Commission
meeting of September 4, staff was directed to prepare a report
detailing the items discussed at the meeting and forward said report
to the County of Orange for inclusion with the County Planning
Department staff report for the public hearing and, if necessary,
attend the public hearing and present the findings detailed in the
report.
He presented a copy of the report that shall be forwarded to
the Orange County Planning Commission, and recommended that Council

Moved by Councilman Gammell, seconded by Councilman Weathers,
and unanimously carried, to approve the foregoing Inter -Fund Transfers
as stated.
