PROJECT·· DESCRIPTION· AND· BACKGROUND
Project·Description
This project involves the request for the adoption of the Rancho
Carrillo Master Plan Amendment (139-A). The current request will
amend the existing, non-conforming, Master Plan for the 758 acre
Carrillo Ranch, adopted by the city in 1972. The current pro-
posal calls for a range of housing densities and types, totaling
2,998 units. Additional uses include 136 acres of open space, 70
acres of planned industrial, 27 acres of commercial uses, and 2
elementary school sites.
This request was initiated by the five owners of the Carrillo
Ranch property. City staff has been working with the project
applicants for approximately 18 months. During that time, envi-
ronmental concerns and city staff input resulted in a major pro-
ject redesign.
B. Project·Location
The Rancho Carrillo property is located at the extreme eastern
boundary of the city, adjacent to Palomar Airport Road, bounded
on the north by Carlsbad Raceway and on the south by La Costa.
The proposal currently under consideration encompasses 758 acres
of land. The rancho totals 868 acres, 100 acres were developed
residentially under the original master plan, and this area along
with the existing 10.5 acre city park site, are not within the
scope of the current proposal.
c. Background
In October 1972, the Carlsbad City Council approved Ordinance
No.9332 changing the zoning on the Carrillo Ranch from R-1-
10,000 to PC (Planned Community), and adopted a Master Plan for
the property. The original Master Plan allowed for the develop-
ment of about 4,400 dwelling units, 2 school sites, open space
areas and commercial facilities. 100 acres of the ranch were
developed with single family homes under the original master
plan. The balance of the site remains undeveloped.
The original Carrillo Master Plan is now a non-conforming docu-
ment. Subsequent to the original approval, the city amended the
General Plan Land Use Element lowering the allowable maximum den-
sity on the property from 4,400 units to 3,800 units. The Plan-
ned Community (PC) Ordinance was amended in 1976, making the ori-
ginal master plan non-conforming. The amended Master Plan is in
conformance with the requirements of the current Planned Commun-
ity (PC) Ordinance.
In order to process the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan request, an
amendment to the Carlsbad General Plan Land Use Element was re-
quired. On October 28, 1981, the Planning Commission reviewed
and recommended approval of the Rancho Carrillo General Plan
Amendment (59-D), and the City Council approved the General Plan
Amendment on November 17, 1981. This action makes the current
Master Plan request consistent with the Carlsbad General Plan
Land Use Map and Element.
II. ANALYSIS
Planning·Issues:
Major planning issue areas against which the amended Master
Plan is being analyzed, include the following:
A) Does the proposed Master Plan comply with the technical
requirements of the Planned Community zone?
B) Is the proposed Master Plan consistent with existing
and proposed development in adjacent areas?
C) Is the proposed Master Plan consistent with the
Carlsbad General Plan?
D} What are the major components, and unique features of
the Master Plan?
E} How does the Master Plan mitigate environmental impacts
identified as significant concerns in the environmental
impact report?
F) Will the proposed Master Plan and subsequent
development provide a positive fiscal impact on the
community?
G) Summary of primary findings (items A -F, above)
III. DISCUSSION
A. Compliance with Technical Requirements of the·Planned Com-
munity·Zone
The basis for accepting the Master Plan application currently
under consideration, is it's fulfillment of the PC zone require-
-2-
ments. Staff prepared a check list of code requirements against
which the Master Plan document was judged. Master Plan 139(A)
was not accepted for processing until the minimum requirements of
the PC code were met. The current application adequately meets
the minimum code requirements, and incorporates additional envi-
ronmental, fiscal, land use and design criteria and graphics.
B. Is -the -Proposed -Master --Plan -Consistent -With -Existing and
Proposed -Development -in·· Adjacent· Areas?
Staff has analyzed the relationship between the Carrillo Ranch
proposal, surrounding existing development, and development pro-
posed for adjoining areas. This is broken down into general geo-
graphic areas:
1 )
2)
3)
4)
North of-Ranch. The northerly portion of the ranch is pro-
posed for Planned Industrial/commercial development. This
fits well with the current Carlsbad raceway operations and
the general plan designation of the raceway property as
"non-residential reserve". Carlsbad Raceway has been con-
sidered for industrial development and adjacent areas in the
city of Vista have been approved for additional industrial
uses.
The industrial orientation of this portion of the ranch is
also consistent with the proximity to Palomar Airport.
East of Ranch. The easterly portion of the ranch is planned
for lower-density residential development. The Master plan
also provides for maintaining two major canyons/stream
courses and the preservation of major geographical features.
This is consistent with the existing very-low density de-
velopment about 1/2 mile east of the property and conforms
to major topographical constraints.
South-of Ranch. The southerly portion of the ranch is pro-
posed for low to medium density residential development.
The area abuts the La Costa Master Plan area. Adjacent
areas in La Costa are developing primarily with single-fam-
ily homes and proposed development in this area consists of
single family attached and detached housing. These areas
are consistent with the proposed ranch development.
West-of Ranch. The western portions of the ranch are plan-
ned for a range of residential development. Adjacent areas
include the unincorporated Bressi Ranch agricultural lands
(generally planned for low to medium density residential),
and La Costa northwest, which is master planned for residen-
tial uses. These areas are compatible with the Carrillo
Master Plan proposal.
-3-
C Is the Proposed Master Plan Consistent with the Carlsbad
GeneraI·Plan?
The Carrillo Master Plan proposal appears to fulfill relevant
requirements of the Carlsbad General Plan. Elements of the Gen-
eral Plan particularly relevant to the Carrillo Plan are summar-
ized as follows:
1 }
2)
3)
Land-use. The Rancho Carrillo Plan required an amendment to
the General Plan Land Use Element. The General Plan Amend-
ment was approved by the city on November 17, 1981. The
Land Use designations and location of various land use acti-
vities, fulfill the requirements of the Land Use Element
text and map.
Circulation. The Carrillo Plan meets the requirements of
the Circulation Element. The Plan provides for and encour-
ages alternative transportation modes including provision
for bicycle ways, hiking trails and mass transit facili-
ties.
As a result of city staff input and impacts identified in
the environmental review process, major roadways, existing
and proposed, were realigned in the Master Plan proposal.
These included the realignment of Palomar Airport Road along
the northern property boundary, eliminating an identified
traffic hazard and improving intersection spacing. Also,
future Melrose Avenue was realigned to the west to improve
intersection spacing and internal traffic flow, to alleviate
intersection congestion and to align with Melrose Avenue
being built from Vista to an area north of Carlsbad
Raceway. The roadway realignment also allowed for the
preservation of riparian habitats.
The Circulation Element provides for general major street
locations, and states that alignments are general, not in-
tended to portray a specific location and that precise
street alignment can be made after complete and detailed
design studies. Circulation in the Carrillo Ranch Master
Plan, including arterial realignments, are consistent with
the General Plan Circulation Element.
Housing. The Housing portion of the Carrillo Master Plan
incorporates the provisions and requirements of the Carlsbad
Housing Element. The Housing Element provides that the city
utilize master plan areas for the provision of affordable
housing. The Carrillo Master Plan designates certain plan-
ning areas as appropriate for affordable housing, establish-
es a minimum number of affordable units, provides for con-
tinued affordability and utilizes the development incentives
outlined in the Housing Element. The Plan further allows
for the development of rental housing in all residential
medium and medium-high density planning areas.

9)
Open Space/Conservation. The Carrillo Plan meets the re-
quirements of the Open Space/Conservation Element by preser-
ving major drainage courses and riparian habitats in a
natural state; preserving open space areas for visual and
aesthetic impact; providing for recreation amenities; and
preserving historic and archaeological resources. The his-
toric Carrillo Ranch house site and out buildings will be
preserved as part of a 10.5 acre public park. Approximately
20% of the ranch area will be devoted to open space uses.
Geologic and-Seismic-Safety. The Carrillo Plan provides for
a thorough program of precisely identifying, delineating and
correcting all potential geologic problems on the ranch
site. Future levels of development approval will be based
on the findings and recommendations of subsequent geologic/-
hydrologic investigations.
Noise. The Carrillo Master Plan fulfills the requirements
of this Element through the identification, control and
mitigation of existing and potential noise sources. The
Plan requires a complete acoustical analysis and sound at-
tenuation study for all planning areas that have been iden-
tified as being potentially sound impacted. Implementation
of adequate sound-attenuation measures will be a requirement
of future development approvals (tentative tract maps).
Scenic-Highways. The Rancho Carrillo Plan fulfills the re-
quirements of the Scenic Highways Element through the pro-
vision of special landscape and setback treatment of Palomar
Airport Road. Palomar Airport Road will be buffered by a
minimum 35' landscaped setback, free of structures, parking
and private open space areas. Further, the Plan calls for
common landscape and perimeter wall treatment along Palomar
Airport Road, Melrose Avenue and Carrillo Way.
Public-Safety. The Plan fulfills this element by identify-
ing potential public safety hazards, and proposing specific
programs aimed at mitigating these. Specific provisions of
the plan in this area include required 30' brush control
setbacks between structures and natural areas for fire con-
trol; the use of retention basins to control possible flood
hazard; requiring security systems and "defensible space"
concepts in commercial and industrial areas to assist in
crime prevention; and specific provisions limiting the num-
ber of units constructed before an additional fire station
facility is provided in the area.
Parks and·Recreation. The Carrillo Plan meets the provi-
sions of this element by providing a comprehensive open
space and park plan. The city has an existing 10.5 acre
park site which contains the historic ranch buildings. Al-
though the developers offered an additional 7.5 acres of
-5-
D.
1 )
park dedication adjacent to the existing Carrillo Park, the
Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Commission voted to accept
park-in-lieu fees rather than additional park dedication.
The Plan provides for about 135 acres of open space area
which, with the park site, include about 20% of the total
ranch area. The open space contains existing riparian habi-
tats and provides for continuous pedestrian trails across
the property connecting major public-activity areas. The
proposed 20 acre Alga Norte Park will be located approxi-
mately 1/2 mile west of the ranch property.
What·are the·Major Components,·and·Unique Features of the
Pan?
Overall Design-Concept (Section III-A)
The overall design of the Rancho Carrillo community empha-
sizes the unique topographical and historical significance
of the site. Major public use areas, comprising the elemen-
tary school site, park site, recreation/commercial uses and
open space areas form a community "core" for the Carrillo
area. These are linked by pedestrian trails and bikeways to
an open space corridor, which runs east to west through the
project. The overall design concept orients residential
areas/and views towards the central valley and historic
ranch site. Historic ranch structures will be preserved as
part of a 10.5 acre public park.
The Rancho Carrillo Master Plan provides for a self-con-
tained, readily identifiable neighborhood-community. The
ranch will provide for commercial, recreation and industrial
activities as well as a full-range of residential densities
and types. A uniform landscape setback and perimeter wall
treatment program for areas adjacent to all major/secondary
arterials will identify Carrillo Ranch as a distinct
"place". The Master Plan also incorporates a sign program,
providing for uniform sign treatment. The sign program pro-
vides for major and secondary community identification signs
at key intersections and controls the location, number, type
and size of signs through the application of standards and
criteria.
2) Review·Process (Section III-B)
The Rancho Carrillo Plan proposes two alternative develop-
ment review processes. This is based on the approach util-
ized in the La Costa Master Plan. The two approaches pro-
vide for (1) traditional zoning or (2) site development
plan. In the traditional zoning approach, development pro-
posals would be required to meet the relevant zone code re-
quirements, and processing procedures. In the site develop-
ment plan approach, the developer would utilize the general
-6-
development standards and the planning area development
guidelines contained in the Master Plan. This alternative
provides for greater design flexibility on the part of the
developer and allows for a wider range of discretionary
review on the part of the city.
3) Format
The format of the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan was based on
that of the La Costa Master Plan. This will provide a basis
of consistency in format and scope for future master plans
and will facilitate the implementation of this and other
master plans. The Rancho Carrillo plan contains some addi-
tional programs and graphics not included in the La Costa
Plan and refines other aspects of the La Costa format.
4) Land-use
The Rancho Carrillo Master Plan provides for a full range of
land use activities and attendant services. The following
provides a statistical land use summary:
Residential
RLM (0-4 du/acre)
RM (4-10 du/acre)
RMH (10-20 du/acre)

Residential uses comprise approximately 65% of the Master
Plan area and provides a maximum of 2998 dwelling units.
The Plan provides for a wide range of housing types. The
eastern and southern portions of the ranch are primarily RLM
(0-4 du/acre), providing for single-family attached and de-
tached housing types. Higher density areas are concentrated
in the central and northerly neighborhoods, in areas close
to community services and employment opportunities.
About 13% of the ranch area is devoted to commercial and
industrial uses. Uses proposed include a recreation/commer-
cial area adjacent to the existing city park site and a
-7-
5}
community commercial area at the intersection of Melrose
Avenue and Carrillo Way. Seventy acres of planned indus-
trial development is proposed for the northerly portion of
the ranch, north of existing Palomar Airport Road.
The Plan indicates two elementary school sites, one each in
the Carlsbad and San Marcos School Districts. Open space,
comprising nearly 18% of the ranch area {excluding the exis-
ting park site}, makes up the balance of the ranch acreage.
Staff feels that the land uses proposed for the Carrillo
Ranch provide a full-range of housing-type densities and
community services. All uses are compatibly sited and re-
spect the environmental limitations of the site. Proposed
land uses also relate well to existing and proposed sur-
rounding development.
Special·Land·Use Regulations {Section III-E}
In order to assure that commercial and industrial uses are
compatibily sited with adjacent residential development,
specific site plan review criteria are included in the Car-
rillo Plan. Site plan review is required for all commercial
and industrial planning areas. Other specific requirements
include visual screening and buffering; lighting and glare
protection; siting of structures for view opportunities and
architectural harmony; screening of loading areas and trash
enclosures; provision of minimum 20' landscaped setbacks;
minimum 15% landscaping for parking areas; and, perimeter
screening of parking facilities.
6} Affordable Housing {Section III-K}
As required by the Carlsbad Housing Element, a portion of
the Carrillo Master Plan Area has been designated for af-
fordable housing. Consistent with the Housing Element, af-
fordable units shall meet the city's "fair-share" allocation
and shall provide for continued affordability to the satis-
faction of the city. A minimum number of affordable units
has been established and a "benchmark" established, requir-
ing the provision of these units no later than the approval
of 1500 units on the Carrillo Ranch. The Carrillo Plan also
allows for the construction of rental units in all RM (4-10
du/acre} and RMH (10-20 du/acre} planning areas.
7} Open·Space (Section IV}
The Carrillo Master Plan designates 137 acres of open space
in addition to the existing 10.5 acre city-owned park. To-
gether these comprise nearly 20% of the total ranch area, in
excess of the 15% open space requirement of the Planned Com-
munity Ordinance. The primary open space area consists of 2
-8-
east/west natural canyons which converge east of proposed
Melrose Avenue. West of Melrose, the open space area fol-
lows the alignment of the natural steam-bed, and forms an
open space corridor crossing the property from east to west.
This "open space corridor" also contains pedestrian hiking
trails which follow the general stream-course and connects
major public activity areas with residential neighborhoods.
Other open space areas on the property consists primarily of
hillside areas, and smaller canyons.
Approval of each "planning area" will include an offer to
dedicate to the city an open space easement over the respec-
tive open space areas. This dedication does not obligate
the city to improve or maintain open space areas; this is
clearly the responsibility of the developer and the homeown-
ers association.
Improvements in open-space areas, including installation and
type of planting materials, irrigation and maintenance, are
the responsibility of the developer and shall meet the re-
quirements of the Master Plan. The Plan emphasizes the use
of low-water consuming, drought resistant and fire-retardant
plant materials. Landscape plans for all open space areas
shall be submitted to the city for review and approval.
Additionally, in the case that the appropriate developer or
association does not properly maintain open-space areas, the
city may undertake necessary maintenance and assess the
homeowners for the cost.
8. Public·Facilities {Section V)
All major public facilities, utilities, roadways and related
improvements will be provided by the developers. Improve-
ments required of development include all roadway systems,
including Melrose Avenue, Palomar Airport Road, Carrillo Way
and El Fuerte, within the property boundaries. Other public
facilities required of development include provision of all
necessary utilities, bikeways and pedestrian trails and sig-
nalization of designated intersections. Major arterial
streets will be designed to accommodate public transit and
bus stop locations shall be provided as necessary.
Flood control facilities will utilize existing drainage
courses and include detention basin to control storm runoff.
Improvement of flood control facilities will be the respon-
sibility of the developer and maintenance may be by assess-
ment district. Off-site public facility improvements and
improvements to community-wide service facilities {library,
police, fire, etc.) will be provided by public facilities
fees in accordance with adopted city policy.
-9-
9) Phasing {Section V-H)
Phasing of development on the Rancho Carrillo property is
primarily based on the availability of public services and
facilities. The Ranch phasing encompasses two levels of
development: (1) a planning area, which is the minimum area
of development that may be processed and may include one or
more subdivision maps and (2) phases, which include a group
of planning areas.
Development phasing will occur in the order indicated in
Table II of the Master Plan. However, if all public works
and facilities requirements for a given phase are provided,
the planning areas may develop randomly within that phase.
The Carrillo phasing plan requires that all planning areas
in a given phase must have tentative map approval prior to
initiating development in another phase.
The Carrillo phasing plan is not tied to any specific timing
requirement. The Ranch will develop as demand for housing
and market constraints dictate. The fiscal impact report
for the Carrillo proposal indicated that the entire project
could be constructed and marketed in approximately 16 years
from the commencement of construction.
10) Sign·Program {Section VI)
In accordance with the requirements of the Planned Community
zone, the Carrillo Master Plan includes a comprehensive sign
program. The Carrillo Plan designates the general location
of major and secondary community identification signs and
establishes general standards for directional and identifi-
cation signs.
The Plan also includes standards for signing in commercial
and industrial areas. These include the prohibition of
roof-top, free-standing, pole signs and illuminated signs.
The Plan emphasizes the use of monument and wall mounted
signs, and encourages the use of natural materials.
The sign program for Rancho Carrillo will enhance the iden-
tity of the area as a distinct "place" and reduce the clut-
ter and visual disorder that uncontrolled signs may create.
The Carrillo Plan sets standards generally more restrictive
than the city sign ordinance and refers to the sign ordi-
nance in areas not specifically addressed in the Master
Plan.
11) Grading {Section III-H)
Major alteration of existing land forms is a component of
the Carrillo Master Plan. The plan indicates that approx-
-10-
E.
imately 10 million cubic yards each of cut and fill will be
necessary to accomplish the required development. Areas of
significant cut and fill are indicated on the grading exhi-
bit, on page III-11 of the Master Plan. This exhibit also
shows those areas which will be preserved as natural ter-
rain. The Plan also provides general grading guidelines,
including requirements for contour grading and the planting
of slopes. Although the site will be significantly impacted
through grading, major canyons and drainage swales will be
preserved.
The Carrillo Ranch property also contains substantial areas
of geologic instability and ground-soils problems. The En-
vironmental Impact Report analyzed these problems and pro-
posed a mitigation program which resulted in geologic insta-
bility being reduced to an insignificant environmental im-
pact. All geologic, soils and ground water mitigation mea-
sures proposed by the environmental document have been in-
corporated into the Master Plan text, and will be required
prior to the commencement of any subsequent development.
How does the·Master Plan mitigate environmental·impacts
1dent1f1ed as·s1gn1f1cant·concerns·in·the Environmental Im-
pact·Report?
The Environmental Impact Report for Rancho Carrillo was certified
by the Carlsbad City Council on November 17, 1981. The EIR
identified several areas of significant environmental concern
and proposed an extensive mitigation program in response to
potential adverse impacts. The mitigation program has been
incorporated into the text of the Master Plan document.
Areas of significant environment concern are summaried as fol-
lows:
1. Grading Mass grading proposed for the site will irrevocably
alter the existing land form charactersitics of the site.
Significant grading will be confined to limited areas and
major canyons/riparian areas will be preserved. Grading
will be in conformance with the City's grading ordinance and
the general guidelines contained in the Master Plan. This
impact is partially mitigated, but remains a significant
adverse impact.
2. Geology The site contains numerous areas of geologic insta-
bility, expansive soils and groundwater conditions. The
program contained in the EIR and incorporated into the Mas-
ter Plan will mitigate this impact to an insignificant
level.
3. Natural Habitats Implementation of the Carrillo Plan will
result 1n the elimination of most nutural vegetation cur-
rently existing on the site and the attendent loss of habi-
-11-
4.
5.
6.
F.
tat area. This impact has been mitigated through the pre-
servation of limited natural vegetation/hillside areas and
riparian areas.
Traffic Although a number of traffic/circulation problems
were eliminated through the realignment of Melrose Avenue
and Palomar Airport Road, congestion of the Melrose/Palomar
Airport Road intersection remains a significant adverse
impact. Staff feels that this is a regional problem and not
a problem resulting solely from this project. Citywide
traffic studies currently underway should define and analyze
this and other traffic congestion problems and propose com-
prehensive treatment of the situation.
Air Quality/Energy The incremental increase in energy con-
sumption and air quality degradation which will result in
implementation of the Carrillo Plan has been identified as
a significant cumulative impact. The requirements for pro-
vision of transportation alternatives, accomodation of tran-
sit facilities and certain grading practices will reduce
the impacts on regional air quality. The inclusion of spec-
ific energy conservation measures in all residential, com-
mercial and industrial development will reduce the energy
consumptive patterns of the project.
Agriculture The Carrillo Ranch site includes approximately
178 acres of agricultural lands. Removal of this land from
production has been identified as a regionally significant
cumulative impact. The Master Plan incorporates provisions
for the buffering of adjacent agricultural lands from incom-
patible uses and requires the developer to make available
short-term leases for agricultural lands on the Ranch, prior
to development of those properties.
Will the proposed·Master·Plan·and sunsequent development
provide·a·positive·fisca!-impact-on·the·community?
As part of the Master Plan application, a fiscal impact analysis
was conducted under contract with the city. The fiscal impact
report, conducted by Newport Economics, indicates that the pro-
posed development will provide a positive impact on the city.
The impact report indicates that commercial and industrial devel-
opment will provide the major fiscal surplus, while the "break-
even" point for housing is approximately $135,000. Units priced
below that range will result in a negative fiscal impact, while
dwelling units above $135,000 will provide a positive impact.
Commercial properties provide about $5,500 to $8,500 per acre per
year in surplus revenues while industrial development provides
about $1,100 per acre per year in surplus funds. This indicates
that a master plan area such as Rancho Carrillo must include com-
-12-
mercial and/or industrial development if it is to provide a fis-
cal surplus for the city.
The fiscal analysis takes into account the amount of revenues
spent to provide services for various land use activities, fiscal
surpluses being revenues collected in excess of projected munici-
pal expenditures.
The Carrillo fiscal report indicates the residential component of
the plan could be reasonably expected to be fully marketed in
13-16 years. The industrial area could be absorbed into the re-
gional market in about 11 years.
In summary, it has been demonstrated that the Rancho Carrillo
Master Plan will provide a realistic, marketable development.
The Ranch developments will be absorbed by the regional market in
a reasonable period of time and the project will provide the city
with surplus revenues in excess of the municipal expenditures on
public services for the area.
Primary Findings-~-summary
1. The Rancho Carrillo Master Plan amendment meets and fulfills
all the technical requirements of the Planned Community (PC)
Zone Code Ordinance.
2. The proposed master plan is consistent and compatible with
existing and proposed development in adjacent areas.
3. The Rancho Carrillo Master Plan is consistent with the Carls-
bad General Plan and its respective elements.
4. The Carrillo Master Plan provides for a balanced, well-plan-
ned community offering a diversity of housing types, a full
range of community services and on-site employment opportuni-
ties. The Master Plan preserves unique historic and environ-
mental resources and will result in a self-contained, readily
identifiable and distinctive planned community.
5. The master plan document incoporates all mitigation measures
recommended in the Environmental Impact Report. The project
mitigates, to the fullest extent possible, any potentially
adverse environmental impacts.
6. The Rancho Carrillo community will, at completion, provide
the city with revenues in excess of municipal expenditures
for public services in the area.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The EIR for the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan was recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission on October 28, 1981, and
certified by the City Council on November 17. The EIR
identified a program of mitigation measures in response to
potential adverse environmental impacts. The full mitigation
program is included in the text of the Master Plan document.
The primary areas of significant impacts identified in the EIR
were traffic, noise, grading, biological resources,
visual/aesthetic concerns, agriculture, and enery conser-
vation.
V. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution
No. 1897, recommending APPROVAL of the Rancho Carrillo Master
Plan Amendment.
