El Camino Specific Plan Amendment

The City of San Juan Capistrano is amending its El Camino Corridor Specific Plan to expand the designated area to 7.3 acres, enabling the development of the Forster & El Camino Mixed-Use Project on approximately 3.17 acres. This project includes a residential component with 95 apartment units, a 3,895 square foot restaurant, a 3,100 square foot fitness center, and a 48,235 square foot Performing Arts Center featuring a 350-seat main theater and a 100-seat studio theater. The development will be constructed on eight adjacent parcels identified by assessor parcel numbers 124-160-08 through -52, located between 31806 El Camino Real and 31882 Camino Capistrano in Orange County, California. The amendment requires a suite of land use approvals including a General Plan Amendment, Area Change, General Plan Map update, Specific Plan revision, Transportation Tolerance Map adjustment, and a Tentative Tract Map. All actions are governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which mandates the preparation and certification of an Environmental Impact Report, adoption of binding mitigation measures, and implementation of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. An overriding considerations statement was also approved to justify residual environmental impacts. The project is administered by the City of San Juan Capistrano as the lead agency under CEQA, with all approvals finalized through formal City Council resolutions and filings with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder and the State Clearinghouse. No federal acquisition regulations or standardized contract clauses apply; the process is entirely local and regulatory, not a procurement under federal rules. No contract value is established because this is not a competitive solicitation with defined line items or pricing schedules. Fees paid by the applicant, Camino Capistrano OZ, LLC, relate solely to environmental review permits and do not constitute contract pricing. The primary point of contact is Paul Garcia, Principal Analyst, reachable through the city’s offices at 32400 Paseo Adelanto. There are no specified performance periods, delivery schedules, invoicing systems, COR/COTR assignments, or federal compliance requirements such as UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications. All documentation and approvals are handled via paper-based submissions with clear handwriting or typewritten content required, and no electronic platforms or digital submission methods are used. The project’s legal and environmental compliance constitutes the
