2. CONTINUATION OF DRAFT CITY COUNCIL POLICY NO. 421, A PROPOSED
CITY COUNCIL POLICY ENTITLED "SLOPE DENSITY FORMULA," WHICH
WOULD ESTABLISH A GUIDELINE FOR DETERMINING RESIDENTIAL
DENSITY BASED UPON THE STEEPNESS OF A NATURAL SLOPE (610.30)
Proposal:
Consideration of a Council Policy developed in response to the newly -adopted General
Pian Land Use Element which requires the development of a slope density formula.
The primary purpose of the formula would be to provide a method to assist the City in
considering the intensity of development for hillside areas. Adoption of the Policy would
allow staff to gain experience in its implementation before adopting specific ordinance
requirements.
Applicant:
City of San Juan Capistrano, 32400 Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano.
Written Communications:
Report dated September 5, 2000, from the Planning Director, describing the proposed
policy and evaluating issues dealing with General Plan consistency, Hillside
Management District provisions, slopeldensity formula methodologies. the Report
advised that the Planning Commission had recommended that no action be taken on the
proposed Slope Density Formula because they felt there were sufficient regulations
already in place to consider the appropriateness of hillside residential development
applications. The Report recommended approval of the proposed Policy and direction
to staff to prepare an amendment to the Municipal Code to integrate the proposed policy
into the Hillside Management Regulations.
The Planning Director described the proposed Policy in detail.
City Council Minutes -8-

Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Campbell opened the public
hearing, and the following persons responded:
(1) Mr. Jess Frost, 26851 Mission Hills Drive, requested that the City Council
consider that existing laws already offer ridgeline protection. He described his
experiences in trying to subdivide his property on Mission Hills Drive. He felt that
people who had held their property would be penalized by the proposed
regulations, which amounted to a confiscation of property.
(2) Tom Lorch, 819 Avenida Salvador, San Clemente, presented letters dated
June 13, 2000 to the Planning Commission and September 5, 2000 to the City
Council, which questioned the potential cost impacts to small developers if the
proposed Policy was adopted. He stated the policy may be a little late since
there were only a small number of parcels that would be affected. He referred to
the public input at the General Plan Update Meetings held last year and felt that
perhaps the small number of individuals who had expressed concern had
dictated the policy. He referred to density transfers, stating they would make it
almost unfeasible to develop. He discussed the cost of mapping property and
asked for more flexibility in that regard. He suggested an allowance be made
with the density transfer to make some development feasible.
(2) Ed Richards, 31902 Paseo Segrado, Co -Chairman of CAUSE (Citizens Against
Uncontrolled San Juan Expansion), expressed support of the Slope Density
Formula and the non-linear approach discussed in the staff report, noting that
Method B would be closest to their preferred percentages. He urged the Council
to choose the formula that would do the most good in protecting hillsides.
There being no further response, Mayor Campbell closed the public hearing.
Mayor Campbell felt that the proposed Policy needed some additional work and
suggested Council Members Greiner and Bathgate work with staff regarding the issues
that had been raised.
Continuation of Hearing:
It was moved by Mayor Campbell, seconded by Council Member Hart, and unanimously
carried to appoint Council Members Bathgate and Greiner to work with staff regarding
the issues and report back to Council on October 3, 2000.

support for the ADA compliance and the modular unit designated for customer service
purposes, but felt that the City Council modular unit should be dismissed. Mayor

was constructed in 1970.

Capistrano and the City of San Clemente. She further advised that a 20% contingency
had been added to the contract price to accommodate any unforeseen restoration work.

APPROVAL OF REVISIONS TO ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY NO. 606:
REQUESTS FOR FEE REDUCTIONS OR WAIVERS FOR RENTAL OF CITY
FACILITIES (I.E. PARKS, BUILDINGS, ATHLETIC FIELDS, AND GYMNASIUM)
100.20
Written Communications:
Report dated September 5, 2000, from the Community Services Director, advising that
Administrative Policy 606 had been established to define how to qualify for a fee
reduction when renting City facilities. The proposed revision would define who is eligible
for consideration for fee reductions when using City facilities, since the policy currently
contains wording about how private individuals can apply for a fee reduction and it was
not the intent of the policy to allow private citizens to be eligible for a fee reduction.
Under the proposed Policy, City businesses would be eligible for a fee reduction when
using the City facilities to conduct an activity that would benefit the community.
Linda Evans, Community Services Manager gave an oral presentation, outlining the
significant revisions to the existing Policy and advising that the proposed changes would
bring uniformity across the board for fee reduction for all of the City facilities. The
proposed policy would assure that taxpayers' monies would not be used to subsidize
private citizens' usage of City facilities.
Approval of Revisions:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Greiner, and
unanimously carried to approve the revisions to Administrative Policy No. 606, entitled
Requests for Fee Reductions of Waivers for Rentals of City Facilities.
