The council denied the rezoning request. We saved the land and our views. Thank you for staying loud.

UPDATE: There is a San Juan Capistrano City Council Meeting at 6PM on May 3rd to discuss the Darmal Residence Rezoning. Please review the information below. The Planning Commission did not recommend the rezoning; however, it still goes before the City Council.
There is an agenda item from February 8th, 2011 for the San Juan Capistrano (CA) Planning Commission. “The Subject: Rezone (RZ) 10-003, Grading Plan Modification (GPM) 10-008; Darmal Residence; a request for approval of development plans for the construction of an approximate 4,906 square-foot single family residence, two stories and 25 feet in height with a basement level and incorporate the property into Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 81-01 Forster Canyon, on a vacant parcel located adjacent to the west side of Avenida California and east of Interstate I-5 (APN 675-081-11) (Applicant Arsalan Darmal, Owner) (Project Manager: Grant Taylor, Development Services Director).” We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge the Planning Commission to NOT adopt the resolution recommending City Council approval to Rezone (RZ) 10-003 and Grading Plan Modification (GPM) 10-008. We believe the development of the Darmal Residence will result in significant long term negative impacts as well as impact the unobstructed view of the Dana Point Harbor and Santa Catalina island enjoyed by the public. The development would destroy precious open space lands that should be preserved. We are also concerned of the potential for safety issues resulting from the development of the residence on a hillside slope above an Interstate Highway. Additionally, we urge the Planning Commission and City Council to DENY requests to rezone the parcel located adjacent to the west side of Avenida California and East of Interstate I-5 (APN 675-081-11) as well as other future requests to rezone open space land surrounding the Forster Canyon area as described in the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 80-01. Development of these open space areas would violate several specific development goals described in the CDP previously referenced.

The Planning Commission rejected the proposal but the City Council meeting is next. Our opposition is the only thing standing in the way of this development.

DARMAL RESIDENCE IS TOO BIG. The city council meetings are always a headache but we have to stop this one.
Enough with the mansion building already. That area is way too steep for a house that big and it ruins the view for everyone living up the hill.
Keep our open space open! We dont need more grading and construction on the canyon side. Traffic is already a nightmare.
if they build that giant house there it sets a bad precedent for the rest of the canyon. keep the vista clear and stop the rezoning.
the planning board got it right the first time. why are we even still talking about this project.

I oppose this construction, the hindrance and obstruction it would present the community, and particularly the loophole it presents out of PSJ HOA dues and Mello-Roos from use of infrastructure.
