They acquired a different parcel nearby, close to Interstate 5, where the current campus is located. The planned athletics fields, aquatics facilities, and performing arts center garnered stiff opposition from members of the Juaneño band of the Acjachemen people. The land was the site of the former village of Putiidhem. Patricia Martz, a professor at California State University, Los Angeles who joined the opposition, estimated as many as 175 bodies could be buried there. Others, however, like local archaeologist Henry Koerper at Cypress College, cast doubt on those estimates, noting that only seven burial plots had been discovered. David Belardes, designated by the state of California to represent the Juaneño, agreed to the plan so long as only fields, not buildings, were constructed, and that a monument be placed on the land. Other factions of Juaneños rejected Belardes' authority, however, and joined neighboring property owners and environmentalists in a group called Spirit of Capistrano to block the project.
