2 Hotel Capistrano - Kimpton Inn 2 City of San Juan Capistrano The project is situated within the Historic Town Center (HTC) planning area and is subject to the City's Historic Town Center Form Based Code. In April 2012, the City Council certified a Program Environmental Impact Report, approved the Historic Town Center Master Plan and adopted the Form Based Code. The certified Program EIR for the HTC Master Plan provides significant technical analysis and information that may be incorporated into the Initial Study (IS) for the proposed project. On November 18, 2014, the City Council approved the adoption of the Urban Village project, including a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 17626, Conditional Use Permit 13-08, Architectural Control (AC) 13-23, Grading Plan Modification (GPM) 13-03, Tree Removal Plan, HTC Form Based Code Administrative Modifications to the Town Center Zone District standard, and an Amendment to the Historic District Town Center Master Plan to allow for 30 townhouse-style villas and a 136 guest room hotel and supporting commercial facilities. The project was never constructed, and was subject to two (2) legal challenges, one of which has been resolved, the other of which is still pending. Based on the project's location, the project does not require a determination from the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and California Department of Fish & Game (DFG) as to whether the project requires a Section 404 Permit, Section 1601/1602 Permit, and/or Section 8 approval pursuant to applicable provisions of Federal and/or State law (e.g. Federal Clean Water Act, Federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), and the California Public Resources Code, etc.). 2. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work requirements for CUP and AC are provided as a separate document (see Attachment 3). 3. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS Consultant proposals will include a transmittal letter including a statement of understanding of the scope of the project, the general methodology/approach to be used, a description of the firm's background and experience. The Proposal shall be signed by an individual authorized to bind the consultant and shall contain a statement that the proposal is valid for at least a 90-calendar day period. The proposal will also include the following: 3.1 A proposed scope-of-work (SOW), consistent with the City's S-0-W requirements, including a description of the specific work tasks that will be completed and work products that will be produced. 3.2 A list of similar projects completed by the project manager and key staff to be used on this project.
