E.I.S.-167, SP-116 & CT 73-20 This matter was continued from the Planning Commission meeting of July 24, 1973 at the request of the applicant. Based upon recent discussions with the applicant, proposed revisions to the potential development is to occur in the very near future.

I , CITY OF CARLSBAD PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS fOR August 28, 1973 TO: PLANNlNG COMMISSION REPORT ON: CONSIDERATION OF E.I.R. II OF SPEClFJC PLAN II Of TENTATIVE MAP CASE NOS : E.I.S. -167 SP-119 CT 73-20 APPLICANT: B. L. KRAMER FOR LA COSTA LAND COMPANY COSTA DEL MAR ROAD CARLSBAD, CALfFORNIA I. GENERAL INFORMATION: This item was continued at th_e request of tf1_e applicant from the Planning Commission meeting of July, 24, 1973. NQ cftanges haye occurred during the continuance. • A. Request: -That the Planning Commission recommend approval to the City Council of an E.I .R., a Specifi'c Plan for a 4 lot condominium development wi.th a total of 727 d.u. and a Tentative Map wi'th 6 lots on a portton of SectiQn 35 & 36 T.l2S, R4W and Sec. 2, Tl3S, R4W, San Bernardtno Meridian . B. Background: As Tentative Map No. 72-24, the Planning Commission and City Council did, in late 1972 and early 1973, approve the development of a 140 acre parcel in the La Costa area. As a part of that approval, a 36 acre single-family development known as Spanish Village Unit No. l was approved, that project is presently being developed. The applicant is now requesting to develop the second unit of the overall development which is to be 100 acre parcel located southerly of and adjacent to La Costa Avenue, westerly of the present westerly most extension of Levante Street. Said property, some - what irregular in shape, does have a small frontage of approximately 606 ft. on El Camino Real. C. Zoning and General Plan: l. Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Adjacent: P-C P-C (SP & TM) North -P-C East -R-2, RD-M & P-C South -County -A-1(8) ~Jest -C-2 & County A-l • (8,) 2. General Plan: The La Costa Master Plan as approved by Planning Commission Resolution 808 and City Council Resolution 2058 and Ordinance No. 9322, '. ) indicates a majority of the property to be potential medium high density residential with 14 d.u./acre. Another small portion adjacent to El Camino Real is indicated to be potential high density residential ~•1ith 20 d.u./acre. In addition, an elementary school site and park site is indicated on the subject parcel. The proposed density of 12.08 d.u./net acre in the medium high density area and the 15.00 d.u./net acre in the high density area does conform to the La Costa Master Plan. D. Public Notification: The required public notices have been published and mailed regarding these items. II. CONSIDERATION OF E.I.R. NO. 167 A. Surrrnary: The draft E.I.R. v1as received on May 8, 1973. ·A letter v1as sent by staff to the Applicant's consultant indicating certain deficiencies. An amendment letter providing additional information was presented in June. The final draft E.I.R. should be considered to include both these items. In that the immediate indicated development is the preparation of the land for sale as condominium lots with the potential number of units, staff can not evaluate the ultimate project in terms of the total effects on the environment. Therefore, it is recommended that the environmental consideration be divided into two stages. At this time, as many environmental considerations as possible should be completed. As each lot developes in the future, the specific impacts of the precise development be presented as an amendment at that time. The draft E.I.R., as amended, does adequately express the full range of environmental impacts as can be possibly known at this stage. Any concern expressed by staff in the specific discussion will be with regard to the matter of emphasis or further elaboration rather than completely rewriting the draft E.I.R. In reviewing the draft E.I.R., the relevant issues that should be kept in mind are: l. The impacts of the development in terms of grading and drainage. 2. The mitigating measures proposed to preserve the sites between its initial preparation and the specific development. 3. The development, in terms ~f street and pad locations, did receive an approval as a part of the consideration of Spanish Village Unit No. l (CT 72-24). Therefore, in terms of drainage and public utilities, the two developments are dependent upon each other.· B. Acceptability of Draft Report: The draft, as amended, titled 11 Spanish Village Hest 11 , proposed by the La Costa Land Company and prepared by Rick Engineering Co., was acdepted by the Planning Director as a preliminary E.I.R. This report was forv1arded to the following agencies for comments: l. Department of Agriculture. 2. L.A.F.C.O. 3. County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Dept. 4. Comprehensive Planning Organization 5. State of California, Dept. of Fish and Game 6. San Diego County Air Pollution Control District 7. San Diego County Sanitation and Flood Control At this time, no written response has been received. Any late responses will ) be included in the mailing. C. Final E.I.R.: The final E.I.R. will include the draft E.I.R. as amended and the staff comments below. Rather than repeating the information contained in the draft E.I.R., staff will only comment to enlarge upon or to correct the draft E.I.R. as amended. l. Corrections: The total number of condominium units proposed in the project is 727 on a total of 100 gross acres, not the indicated 816 d.u. and the 106 acres in the draft E.I.R., as amended. The overall gross density is 7.27 d.u./acre, not the 7.7 d.u.indicated. 2. The Environmental Setting: The environmental survey for the total La Costa Area should be utilized as a part of this consideration. This survey is included in the Planning Commission packets as an information item. 3. Mitigation Measures: The mitigating measures should have included · the immediate landscaping and irrigation of all slopes created, to guarantee their preservation. In addition, wherever possible, all slopes of 25% or greater could have been preserved. 4. Alternatives: The po ten ti al a, lternq tty ES are 1 imited far the parcel in that a previous commitment for the extension of Levante Street and Anillo Way, require that a majority of the grading proposed to be done whether the indicated unit 2 is developed or not. Therefore, the potential lot layout is limited. However, this does not limit the range of densities within the established lot pattern. In that the previously approved La Costa Master Plan has further invited the land use alternatives to residential and specific densities, even the densities possible .are limited. D. Staff Recommendation on the E.I.R. l. That the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the Final E.I.R. BE APPROVED to include: a. the draft E.I.R. b. The amendment letter dated June 7, 1973 c. Any response received from those agencies notified. d. any publit input received as a part of the public hearing held regarding this E.I.R. Justification is based upon: a. In that a land sales program is proposed, the development to occur is only estimated, these materials do adequately express the total effect of the proposed development on the environment. 2. That the Planning Commission require that an amendment to this final E.I.R. be provided for each lot when the precise development has been determined .. III. CONSIDERATION OF SPECIFIC PLAN NO.

As has been explained by this office before, school facilities of the San Dieguito High School District are operating on an extended day basis with double sessions being a distinct possibility sometime during the next school year. The district is currently building a second high school, however, current information would indicate that the present rate of building in the district will make even these facilities overcrowded as ear~y as the fall of 1975. •. At present there is no high school site in the portion of the San Dieguito Union High School District that is .located within the boundaries of the city limits of Carlsbad. A study is currently-underway to determine the number and location of additional sites to accommodate the anticipated influx of new students from housing developments ·currently under construction or proposed. The absence of sites or written agreements by which to acquire them in the Carlsbad area compels us to oppose any additional dwelling units within that area of our district that is within the city limits of Carlsbad.
