Council Set to Revoke Market's Permit

A judge and an appellate court have ruled that San Juan Capistrano leaders erred when allowing Mercado El Rey to open with insufficient parking.

The San Juan Capistrano City Council is set to revoke the permit for a popular Latino goods market Tuesday.

Last month, a state appellate court decided the city abused its discretion in approving Mercado El Rey on Camino Capistrano without sufficient parking. The ruling upheld a lower court decision from earlier this year.

“[A]ssuming no further order of the court or other stay is issued to extend the stay before the City Council's meeting, the City Council should formally comply with the [court] by vacating and setting aside the permit for tenant improvements issued to Mercado,” a staff report says.
