PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL POLICY NO. 421, SLOPE DENSITY
FORMULA CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER 5 2000 610.30
Proposal: ..
Consideration of a Council Policy developed in response to the.newly-adopted General
Plan 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
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated October 3, 2000, from the Planning Director, recommending
adoption of the Policy and preparation of a code amendment to integrate the
contents of the proposed policy into the provisions of Section 9-3.505 (Hillside
Management Regulations). The Report outlined the previous public hearings
which addressed the proposed City Council Policy and advised that the
comments and recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee, which had been
appointed at the September 5, 2000 City Council meeting, had been reflected in
the revised Policy. The revisions were reflected in the proposed slope formula
for calculating residential units and in the inclusion of an exception to the Policy
provisions. The exception provisions specifically related to the establishment of
criteria for considering additional units due to exceptional project design or
identifiable community benefit.
City Council Minutes -4- 10103/00
199
(2) Letter dated October 2, 2000, from Mark Nielsen, Co -Chair of Citizens Against
Uncontrolled San Juan Expansion (CAUSE), endorsing the adoption of the Slope
Density Formula and requesting consideration of additional language to be
included in the Policy as follows:
(a) Add language in the policy to make explicit that "the formula does not
result in an entitlement, but only sets a maximum density"...
(b) Reduce the Exception Provisions to a maximum exception of 10%...
(c) Tighten the Exception Language to make sure it cannot always be
triggered...
The Planning Director made an oral presentation, describing the proposed Policy and
recommended revisions in detail.
Council Questions:
Council Member Swerdlin initiated discussion regarding the relationship between a
reduction in density and slope instability and failure. The Planning Director discussed
new design techniques and the use of specific language within the Hillside Management
Regulations and the General Plan. The concept of clustering was discussed which
would avoid specific geotechnical problems experienced in other developments in the
past. The City Manager advised that the issue of slope density was not uniquely
isolated to slope instability but also to protecting natural landforms and minimizing the
risk of geotechnical instability.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Campbell opened the public
hearing, and the following persons responded:
(1) John P. Erskine of Nossaman, Guthner, Knox & Elliott, LLP, representing
Concorde Development and Whispering Hills, presented a letter dated
October 3, 2000, outlining their objections to the proposed Policy. He urged the
City Council to follow the Planning Commission recommendation to take no
action and instead use those policies and ordinances currently in effect. He
stated that the policies adopted by the City subsequent to the Whispering Hills
applications being deemed complete could not be applied to the processing of
the Whispering Hills applications. He felt existing land use policies and the
General Plan and Hillside Management Regulations were more than adequate to
protect the hillside areas; that there was no factual basis for slope density
reduction to increase slope stability; that the Policy was discriminatory as applied
to Whispering Hills; and, that none of the seven study parcels would be so
drastically reduced in density as would Whispering Hills.
(2) Lisa Hosinski, 28692 Paseo Bahia, an executive member of the Committee
CAUSE, expressed her support of the Slope Density Formula and stated her
opinion that it would have been beneficial to the community if this Policy had
been in effect some time ago, and urged adoption of the Policy with the
language requested by CAUSE.
City Council Minutes -5- 10/03/00
200
(3) Thomas Larch, 819 Ave. Salvador, San Clemente, stated he owned property that
would be affected by the implementation of the Slope Density Formula. He
stated his opinion that this formula was significantly more restrictive on the
number of allowable dwelling units than those previously recommended by the
Planning Commission. He asked that if adopted, the Policy be modified to be
more flexible and less onerous to small developers. He stated his preference for
retaining the overall land use density which had been in place for many years,
and asked the City Council to find that existing policies and ordinances were
sufficient without overall density reduction.
(4) Will B. King, 20325 Bayview Avenue, Newport Beach, stated his opinion that
there should be no more development in the City and supported the proposed
Policy.
There being no further response, Mayor Campbell closed the Public Hearing with the
right to re -open at any time.
Council Discussion:
Council Member Bathgate stated that she and Council Member Greiner had performed
an in-depth review of the proposed Policy with Staff and that they had recommended
reduced densities in the flatter areas and more restrictive on the steeper slopes; and,
flexibility had been included in the Policy to allow the opportunity for an exception if
there was an exceptional design that would retain the natural form of the site, provide
open space or enhance the visual character of the site. Council Member Greiner
concurred, stating that the exception provision should be very specific in order to
achieve the stated goals of aesthetics, clustering and the unique design that reflects the
character of the community.
Council Member Swerdlin stated that there should be responsible development in a
controlled manner that resulted in residences that would be habitable without fear of
instability of soil. He stated his opinion that the proposed slope density formula did not
provide the nexus for that purpose and he could not support the proposed Policy.
Council Member Hart stated his belief that the proposed Policy would be beneficial to
both the citizens and the community, as well as the developers.
Council Member Bathgate initiated discussion regarding including in the Policy
suggestions No. 1 and 3 as set forth in the fetter from CAUSE and dealing with
additional language to assure the formula did not result in an entitlement, but only set a
maximum density and a tightening of the Exception language. The City Attorney
advised that those items could be included for consideration with the future proposed
Municipal Code amendment.
Approval of Policy No. 421_
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Bathgate, that the
following Resolution be adopted:

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
CITY MANAGER
CARE ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER BUSINESS PLAN AND PROGRESS
REPORT (500.10)
Written Communications:
Report dated October 3, 2000, from the Principal Management Analyst, forwarding the
Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort's Business Plan for San Juan Capistrano Animal
Services, dated August, 2000, and noting that three potential sites had been identified
for an adoption center: the Swanner Ranch, Marbella Fire Station site and Southern
Open space at the terminus of Camino Las Ramblas, The Report provided an
evaluation of the sites and recommended that the City explore shelter -only services with
both Mission Viejo and Coastal Animal Shelter Authority.
The Principal Management Analyst made an oral report, noting that he hoped to return
to Council with a response from CASA and Mission Viejo within thirty days.
City Council Minutes -7- 10/03/00
198
Public Input
(1) Will B. King, 20325 Bayview Avenue, Newport Beach, stated his opinion that
although the shelter was a good idea, the City Council should observe the
distressing conditions at the shelter in Huntington Beach prior to reaching a final
decision in this matter. He felt this issue should be addressed at the County
level.
(2) Lon Uso, 31302 Via Las Palmas, stated his opinion that the City should proceed
with a plan to look after the animals. He outlined the Capistrano Animal Rescue
Effort's organizational achievements during the last three months; stated that the
staff recommendation did not go far enough and revisiting the Mission Viejo and
San Clemente shelter's was unwarranted. He urged the City Council to move
ahead immediately while a site is still available for the shelter, and requested
that staff be directed to work with CARE to determine if the Swanner House or
another site would be appropriate for a shelter site.
(3) Gil Jones, 31791 Los Rios St., stated that he would like to see a facility of this
type in the City without further delay. He expressed his confidence in CARE and
felt that the City Council should not wait for a response from Mission Viejo or
CASA.
The City Manager stated that he had advised CARE of his feeling that it was important
to know if sheltering services could be provided by CASA and Mission Viejo; that the
City had not previously asked for a proposal for sheltering services only and the costs
could be different. He further stated that if either Mission Viejo or CASA could provide
services, then the goal of attaining those services for the City would happen more
quickly than would be possible if the shelter were to be built in the City. Mr. Uso stated
he could support a one-year contract with either CASA or Mission Viejo, but did not
want that as a permanent situation and the process should continue forward.
(4) Marsha Swartze, 31211 Casa Grande Drive, described the accomplishments of
CARE. She felt the staff recommendation did not go far enough and asked that
staff be directed to proceed with whatever steps were necessary to establish a
humane animal shelter on one of the available sites in the City. She felt that
requesting proposals from San Clemente and Mission Viejo would only further
delay the City's shelter.
(5) Ruth Duncan, 27509 Paseo Toluca, referred to the option of CASA and Mission
Viejo and concurred with Lon Uso that this should only be a short-term solution.
She stated that the three potential locations may not exist in the future; that the
Swanner Ranch House was the most viable location; and, that the delay only
caused more animal deaths. Ms. Duncan stated that applying for grants and
fund raising were difficult without an identified site and urged the City Council to
move forward.
City Council Minutes -8- 10/03/00
201
— (6) Jessica Baker, 31682 Via Cervantes, stated strong support for the shelter, noting
that she was saddened that the City was not doing more to care for its animals.
She felt that animals were part of the culture of San Juan and that CARE's
efforts were not political, they were for the animals.
(7) Steve Estrada, 27665 Paseo Alondra, stated he represented a private enterprise
who was willing to assist in the building of a shelter and was pursuing meetings
with CARE and the City.
Council Discussion:
Council Member Hart requested clarification from the City Manager regarding moving
ahead with a site identification and working with CARE. The City Manager stated that
there were complex issues regarding the potential sites; that the concept was never that
staff would stop addressing site issues or working with CARE, it was that staff needed to
know what Mission Viejo and San Clemente represented as opportunities before the
Council could conclude what options were available and what, if any, site should be
chosen in the City. He indicated that staff would return within 30 days with a report on
the options that were available.
Council Member Bathgate requested a more detailed analysis of the sites available in
order to look at the constraints and opportunities, and expressed her support of
requesting a proposal from San Clemente and Mission Viejo. Council Member Greiner
concurred that in order to make the best and most informed decision the cities of San
Clemente and Mission Viejo should be consulted. Council Member Swerdlin suggested
that CARE include an educational aspect to their goals.
Approval of Business Plan:
It was moved by Council Member Swerdlin, seconded by Council Member Hart and
unanimously carried that CARE's business plan be received and filed, and that staff be
directed to solicit a proposal from CASA and Mission Viejo for sheltering services only.
Additional direction was given to staff to continue working with CARE on site availability
and selection and return to the City Council meeting on November 7th, 2000, with an
evaluation of potential sites.
2. CONSIDERATION OF CONCEPTUAL_ CITY ENTRY SIGN PROGRAM PHASE
1(410.40)
Written Communications:
Report dated October 3, 2000, from the Economic Development Manager, advising that
pursuant to Council direction, staff and volunteer resident Mike Imlay, had developed a
conceptual City entry sign program for Council consideration. The proposed location for
the Entry Sign was on Ortega Highway past the Del Obispo traffic signal, across from
the Jack in the Box Restaurant. The report advised that staff had compared the entry
sign programs in other California communities, including cities surrounding San Juan
Capistrano, and had moved away from the idea of identification markers at every major
intersection. The proposed program recommended evaluating opportunities as they
City Council Minutes -9- 10/03/00
202
arose and included consideration of bridge ornamentation, paintings, murals and a bold
concept for those arriving into the downtown from Ortega Highway.
The Economic Development Manager gave an oral presentation, advising that costs for
the proposed Phase I would be between $60,000.00 and $100,000.00. Mr. Mike Imlay,
the architect who developed the conceptual plan, gave an oral presentation and made
reference to the conceptual plans and drawings displayed in Council Chambers and
discussed the eclectic and historic style of the City which influenced the conceptual
plan.
Approval of Program:
It was moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin and
unanimously carried to approve the conceptual City Entry Sign Program and to direct
staff to proceed with developing Phase I working drawings.
RECESS AND RECONVENE
Council recessed at 9:25 p.m. to convene the San Juan Capistrano Community Redevelopment
Agency and the Capistrano Valley Water District, and reconvened at 9:27 p.m.

ASSOCIATES) (800.201600,
Written Communications:
Report dated October 3, 2000, from the Principal Management Analyst, providing
background leading up to the second -in homes sound study and advising that one home
had qualified the funding.
A map showing first- and second -in homes and contour lines indicating dbA levels was
on display and Douglas Dumhart, Principal Management Analyst gave an oral
presentation. He described how the noise monitoring had been accomplished and how
the noise levels had been averaged. He noted that many of the complaints about noise
could be due to noise "spikes."
Council Discussion:
Discussion ensued regarding providing assistance to the residents who were at this
location prior to the 1997 importation of trash and who would be among those who
would qualify for funding if the dbA level was dropped to 40. Council Member Bathgate
suggested consideration of other programs for funding for example pedestrian crossings
and or driveway con nectionslprotection and stated her support of revisiting this issue in
the future. Council Members Greiner and Swerdlin stated that they would like to see the
study continued and requested review of the number and duration of spikes.
City Council Minutes -10- 10/03/00
P11119
Approval of Sound Study:
It was moved by Council Member Greiner, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin, and
unanimously carried to accept the test results for second -in dwellings and authorize
funding for the second -in home that qualified. Staff was directed to: (1) check first- and
second -in homes to determine which residents were there prior to the 1997 when trash
importation began and to determine which of those residents would qualify for funding if
the dba level was dropped to 40; (2) describe what would be necessary in order to
perform testing to evaluate noise "spikes", haw to assess "spikes" and look at a possible
course of action; and, (3) look at other programs for funding such as pedestrian crossing
and driveway connections.
4. INITIATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO TITLE 9 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
GOVERNING THE USE OF BANNERS ALLOWED BY COMMERCIAL
SHOPPING CENTERS FOR ARCHITECTURAL PURPOSES (420.30)
Written Report:
Report dated October 3, 2000, from the Economic Development Manager, advising that
since there were no provisions in the Municipal Code to allow shopping centers to place
decorative light pole mounted banners in shopping centers, their use was limited. The
Report recommended that a code amendment be initiated to pursue some limited use of
non -text, non -advertising pole mounted banners. Upon initiation of the amendment,
Staff will develop specific guidelines regarding design standards, maintenance
requirements, a proposed maximum number of banners; and, will provide
recommendations on applicability and the use of architectural banners for future
