Every house should have a coherent architectural style. All elevations of a house, including front, side and rear, should have the same design integrity of forms, details and materials. In addition to the previous requirements, design details should reinforce and enhance the architectural form and style of every house and differ from other elevations of the same floor plan. A minimum of 4 complimentary design details, including but not limited to those listed below, shall be incorporated into each of the front, rear and street side building facades) of the house. • • • • • • • • • • DESIGN DETAILS Balconies Decorative eaves and fascia Exposed roof rafter tails Arched elements Towers Knee braces Downers Columns Exterior wood elements Accent materials I.e.; brick, stone, shingles, wood or siding) Floor plans in a project shall exhibit a variety of roof ridges and roof heights within a neighborhood. Houses with both the same floor plan and elevation style shall not occur on adjacent lots. The project proposal includes 37 detached condominium units. There are 4 floor plans proposed with three distinct architectural styles for the elevations, Adobe Ranch, Andalusian and Santa Barbara. MARCH 2011 SU BM ITT AL: The project proposal includes 37 detached condominium units. There are 4 floor plans proposed with three distinct architectural styles for the elevations; "A" -Adobe Ranch, "8" - Andalusian, and "C" -Santa Barbara. The three architectural styles proposed for the project include Adobe Ranch, Andalusian and Santa Barbara. These styles incorporate the forms and detailing that are conducive with the styles of architecture. MARCH 2011 SUBMITTAL: There are three distinct architectural styles for the elevations; "A" -Adobe Ranch, "8" -Andalusian, and "C" -Santa Barbara. These styles incorporate the forms and detailing that are conducive with the styles of architecture. All elevation styles comply. Please refer to the attached "Building Elevation Design Elements" matrix. MARCH 2011 SUBMITTAL: See Revised Building Elevation Design Elements matrix. The following elements are incorporated into the architecture: • Balconies • Decorative eaves and fascia • Exposed roof rafter tails • Arched elements • Towers • Columns • Exterior wood elements • Accent materials (i.e.; brick, stone, shingles, wood or siding) • Window and door lintels, and window surround. • Varied window shapes All floor plans and elevation styles comply. Please refer roof plans of the enclosed architecture plans for details. MARCH 2011 SUBMITTAL: All floor plans and elevation styles comply. Refer to roof plans of the enclosed architecture plans for details. As shown on the enclosed site plan, units with the same floor plan and elevation style do not occur on adjacent lots. MARCH 2011 SUBMITTAL: Units 28 and 29 were originally approved with the same plotting occurring on adjacent lots. Due to site constraints Units 28 and 29 are still plotted with the same plan type on adjacent lots. However, to differentiate the units the following has been Page 1 Architectural Policy 44 Criteria Compliance Table Muroya Property Taylor Morrison Guideline Standard Comments proposed: 1) Each unit is plotted with a different elevation; 2) a porch is included on unit 29; 3) to further differentiate the houses, unit 29 has a greater front yard setback than unit 28; 4) unit 28 is plotted on a unique "lot'' size and shape; and 5) unit 28 is plotted with a 45 degree offset as compared to unit 29, which creates a unique street scene. 6 Reverse floor plans shall be included where possible to add variety Where possible reverse floor plans have been plotted. to the street scene. Single Story Requirements 7 8 A minimum of 15% of the total number of homes shall be single­ story structures.

Architectural enhancement modifications are proposed within the limits of policy 35. 2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood; • The request includes modifications to the architectural plans that upgrade the interior floor plans and enhance the exterior elevations. These items are specifically identified in the accompanying detailed written request and architectural tables. Additionally, the reconfiguration of the northern portion of the site has opened view opportunities to adjacent residents that were not available with the originally approved plotting. 3) The proposed revision does not change the density (i.e. the addition of units) or boundary of the subject property; • The request does not modify the density of the approval since it simply entails the rearrangement of the previously approved units. The boundary of the subject project and the approved lots have not changed. 4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown on the original permit ( e.g. adding a commercial use to a residential project, replacing single family units with attached residential units, vice versa for each example, etc.); • There are no additions of new land uses. All land uses as shown on the original permit remain unchanged. RECEIVED MAR 1 4 2011 CITY OF CARLSBAD PLANNING DEPT 5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development (e.g. it does not exchange the locations of the single family units with attached units); • The approved project included one single s~le family unit on an independent lot and 3 7 detached condominium units. The single family unit remains in the originally approved location. 6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent ( 10% ), provided that compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code as follows: Per individual lot or structure -yards, setbacks, coverage or height (height reductions of > 10% are permitted); On an aggregate project basis -parking, open space common area or landscaping: • All proposed revisions are within the 10% limits and comply with applicable development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Supporting detail is provided in the accompaning revised documents and tables. 7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require additional mitigation; • All changes are proposed within the originally approved grading envelop with the exception of a small area (1800 square feet) in a public easement in the extreme northwest portion of the site. This area is adjacent to the SDG&E easement and does not create any environmental impact or require additional mitigation. The purpose of the grading is to provide better access to public utilities located within the easement. 8) The proposed change will not result in any health, safety, or welfare impacts; • The modifications proposed will improve treatment of storm water runoff thereby improving the quality of health, safety and welfare and will also bring the circulation system into compliance with Carlsbad street design criteria. 9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would be exacerbated with the proposed change; and • Public testimony was provided by adjacent residents regarding concerns with unit placement along the common property line. The proposed revisions reduce viewshed impacts and improve architectural appearance beyond the original approval. 10) The proposed change would not be readily discernible to the decision makers as being substantially different from the project as originally approved. • The proposed changes to the plotting would not be discernible to decision makers as being substantially different since the basin location was originally approved in the northwestern portion of the site. The basin has simply been moved away from Nightshade creating more landscaped area. The basin remains at the extreme end of the project. The original architectural styles, materials and colors have been maintained. The changes have improved street exposure and enhanced the exterior appearance of the units. The proposed revision does comply with all of the above listed Consistency Determination findings, and a determination of consistency £!!! be made.
