In an effort to make sure visitors are informed of the many amenities San Clemente and the surrounding areas have to offer, we have produced the 7th Annual Visitors Guide with information regarding San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Dana Point. Information contained in the Guide will be included in the Chamber Website.
Visitor Guide
The Chamber receives approximately 125 visitors a week, to our office, seeking information on San Clemente and the adjacent vicinities. In addition, we send out over 40 Visitors & Tourism information packets through the mail, per week. Marketing the three cities together, guests realize that San Clemente is truly a destination municipality. As a result, visitors recognize the many features the area has to offer.
The Guide includes information pertinent to visitors and will feature member businesses that are relevant to the tourism market. This is a free member benefit.
Website & iPad
One of the elements of the Chamber website is “Visit San Clemente.” These pages contain information that is currently published in our Chamber’s Visitors Guide. In addition, the Guide was formatted to be utilized on the IPad.
The City of San Clemente and Council Members-Mayor Jim Evert, Mayor Pro Tem Tim Brown, Lori Donchak, Jim Dahl and Bob Baker, along with the City Manager George Scarborough are to be commended for seeing the vision and making this projects possible. In addition, special thanks to Shelly & Don Kindred, Kindred Associates for design, artwork & photos.

San Clemente homeless Shelter lease halted... For now
The San Clemente City Council has voted NO on the proposed homeless shelter in the Rancho San Clemente business park.
The unanimous decision received a 0-4 vote against the suggested 10-year lease at 950 Calle Negocio.
Tuesday, August 20th City Council meeting was standing-room-only. Local business owners, concerned citizens, an ACLU representative, housing advocates, and a current homeless resident were in attendance. In total, close to 40 individuals took the microphone to express their opinions on the hot-topic issue.
City Manager, James Makshanoff, voiced his disapproval of the homeless shelter. He also revealed new information from a previous lawsuit about the homeless issue. Makshanoff shared that once a shelter is full, the Sheriff’s Department would not be able to enforce anti-camping laws. The anti-camping laws are only enforceable if there are available beds at a local shelter. The City also could not restrict shelter services to only the local population. Any individual arriving from outside the city would have the same right to a San Clemente shelter bed. Ties to the area’s people or places are not required as a qualifier for City-provided services.
Regional Issue
Dan Bane, Mayor Pro Tem, stated this situation is a complex issue. He stated the City does want to do something for the homeless that have ties to San Clemente. Bane continued that the current solution was voted against because there would be no limit on “the folks that we are responsible for.”
Bane outlined that San Clemente should not be the “regional clearinghouse for all of the homeless people in Orange County.” A regional answer will be the next steps taken by the Council, Bane shared, earning applause from the audience.
Future Unknown
As a final note on the matter, Bane issued a word of caution to the business park occupants. He stated that the area is SB-2 zoned, allowing a homeless shelter of 35 beds or less without discretion from the city.
“If a private entity wants to pull a permit for a shelter anywhere in that (business) park, there could be a shelter there. There is nothing that you or the City can do about it by State law,” Bane warned.
CC&R’s To play A Role?
Andrew Fogg of the law firm Cox, Castle and Nicholson pointed out that the CC&R’s could play an important role in fu-ture decisions. The CC&R’s were City mandated upon the construction of the business park. They govern uses and require developmental committee approval before permit requests to the City.
Fogg said the addition of reasonable rules could allow the development committee to reject certain uses should they dis-rupt harmony.
Stay tuned for more updates.
Sincerely,Jim Wynne at kidder Mathews
