POINSETTIA SHORES MASTER PLAN
1. INTRODUCTION
This introduction provides an overview of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. It sets forth the Master Plan's
purpose, project description, goals, legal and historical context.
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is to guide the orderly development of the property
while preserving and enhancing the site's unique amenities. For planning purposes, Poinsettia Shores
is divided into residential, non-residential, and open space areas. The Master Plan defines the
allowable type and intensity of land uses in each planning area and provides detailed planning area
development standards, requirements, development phasing and the method by which development of
the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan will be implemented.
Adoption of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan by the Carlsbad City Council, pursuant to Chapter
21.38 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and approved by the California Coastal Commission, will
establish the zoning and development standards applicable to the project as a whole with
consideration to individual planning areas, defining the permissible type and intensity of development.
Development within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan Area shall fulfill all requirements established
by the Citywide Facilities and Improvement Plan and the applicable Local Facilities Management
Plan (LFMP) for Zone 9, pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.90.
Development within the Master Plan shall be subject to all present and future Growth Management
plans, policies or ordinances adopted by the City Council or by Citizen Vote including but not limited
to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Growth Management). The residential
development potential for the Master Plan area has been established by applying the density ranges
and the "control points" of the General Plan Land Use designations which are applicable to the
property. The Master Plan complies with the Growth Control Point of the underlying General Plan
density of 6.0 du/net acres for RM areas, except where a density bonus is allowed pursuant to the
provisions set forth in the affordable housing ordinance.
The Master Plan implements the City of Carlsbad's General Plan and Municipal Code by providing
guidelines and standards for the full development of all phases of the project; by requiring facilities
and services consistent with the regulations and ordinances of the City's Local Facilities Management
Plan for Zone 9; and by ensuring that all City standards and requirements will be met in a consistent
and uniform manner.
Amended May 12, 1994
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 2 October 20, 1993
The Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Plan provides a detailed description and analysis of how
Zone 9 will develop from its current status to build out. The zone plan also demonstrates how and
when each facility and improvement will be constructed in order to accommodate development within
the zone. The zone plan also provides a brief description of how each facility and improvement will
be financed when mitigation is necessary. More specific information regarding financing is required
through the adoption of a Finance Plan for Zone 9, which must be approved prior to recordation of the
first final map, issuance of a grading or building permit in Zone 9.
No person shall use or develop any property covered by this Master Plan in a manner which is
contrary to the Master Plan as established by the City Council. All developers within the Master Plan
shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Unless specifically
discussed in this Master Plan, all City policies and ordinances apply to the Poinsettia Shores Master
Plan Area as they would apply to any property in the City of Carlsbad.
B. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. LOCATION
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan Area includes approximately 162.8 acres located in the
southwest portion of the City of Carlsbad. The Master Plan Area is bounded on the north by
the existing Lakeshore Gardens Mobile Home Park, on the east by I-5, on the south by
Batiquitos Lagoon and on the west by Carlsbad Boulevard. A Location Map is provided on
Exhibit 1 on page 3.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan will supersede the existing Batiquitos Lagoon
Educational Park (BLEP) Master Plan. The private school and research and development
uses currently allowed by the BLEP Master Plan on the east side of the railroad track will be
changed to allow for the development of single and multiple family dwelling units. The
impacts of the proposed land uses identified in the BLEP Master Plan will be significantly
decreased with the approval of the changes proposed in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan.
The amended Zone 9 LFMP and Chapter VI of this Master Plan will identify the facility
impacts of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan.
For planning purposes, the Master Plan land uses and planning areas are generally referred
to as either "east-side" or "west-side," dependent upon their location in relation to the
AT&SF Railroad Right-of-Way which bisects the property. The east side features nine
residential planning areas, a community recreational area, a recreational vehicle storage area,
as well as various open space areas. The west-side features a travel service/commercial area
and an open space area. In addition, one area of the west-side has been set aside as
unplanned. The ultimate uses for this area will be determined at a later date when more
specific planning is carried out for areas west of the railroad tracks. Possible future uses are
not being limited at this time and could include residential and/or non-residential uses. Prior
to approval of specific development plans for the unplanned area, a Major Master Plan
amendment will be required.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 3 October 20, 1993
Exhibit 1 Location Map
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 4 October 20, 1993
When built out, the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan will not exceed the maximum number of
dwelling units as allowed by the amended Zone 9 LFMP which analyzes and includes the
proposed density bonus which may be approved consistent with City ordinance for the
provision of affordable housing.
Amenities of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan include public and private pedestrian trails
which will be connected. They will take advantage of the views south and west to Batiquitos
Lagoon and to the Pacific Ocean from the bluff top as well as the open space corridor
provided through the heart of the project. A viewpoint will be provided overlooking the
lagoon in the portion of the project east of the railroad tracks.
The Master Plan has been designed to preserve the environmental resources located on the
site. This includes the bluff top and slope area north of Batiquitos Lagoon. A portion of the
pedestrian trail system will be constructed along the bluff top. The slope areas will remain
in their natural state with the exception of the existing desiltation basin on the east side of the
railroad ROW and the planned desiltation basin on the west-side. The approval of Coastal
Development Permit 6-85-482 required the preservation of the bluff slope areas as well as
80-100 foot buffers from the top of the slope to any structures on the east side of the railroad
ROW . This buffer is included in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Approximately 34.8
acres of designated Open Space, located in Planning Areas I, K and L, has already been
dedicated to the State Lands Commission as required by the Coastal Development Permit.
A common active recreational facility will be located north of and adjacent to Avenida
Encinas between Planning Areas A-1 and B-1 for the private use of residents within the
Master Plan. The recreational facility may include a swimming pool, tennis courts,
recreational building, outdoor basketball facilities, and other outdoor playing areas. The
facility complies with City requirements for providing recreation areas.
The number of future dwelling units allowed for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is
consistent with the preceding Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master Plan. A portion
of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan Area has already been developed under the provisions
of the previous Master Plan. Currently, 70 single family homes exist within Planning Area J.
In addition, five vacant buildable residential lots also remain in Planning Area J. For the
purposes of this Master Plan, the total of 75 will be used for the existing unit count.
Subtracting the existing dwelling unit count from the 526 future units allowed under the
BLEP plan leaves 451 future dwelling units allowable under the new Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan. In addition, per the provisions of the Affordable Housing Chapter on page 40,
this Master Plan proposes to implement its affordable housing program through a density
bonus which would allow up to 113 additional dwelling units, including 90 affordable
housing units and 23 market rate units. This density bonus is envisioned and planned for in
this Master Plan, and may be approved through an Affordable Housing Agreement
concurrent with the first final map for an individual Planning Area within the Master Plan.
The existing homes were developed to the standards of the previous Batiquitos Lagoon
Educational Park Master Plan.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 5 October 20, 1993
C. POINSETTIA SHORES MASTER PLAN APPLICATIONS
The following applications will be processed concurrently with the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan:
General Plan Amendment(GPA 91-05) - The GPA accompanying this Master Plan proposes to
revise the land use designations within the Master Plan area. The existing General Plan designations
facilitate the development of a large private school with associated amenities conducive to this use.
The proposed land use change will be compatible with the surrounding uses and existing
development. The GPA will change the existing land use designations of RM, RMH, RC, P, N,
TS/C, and OS to RM, NRR, TS/C and OS.
Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA 91-02) - The Master Plan area is located within
the Coastal Zone, thereby necessitating the processing of Coastal Development Permits. The West
Batiquitos Local Coastal Program Amendment is required in order to maintain its consistency with
the City of Carlsbad's General Plan, and reflect the land use changes proposed in this Master Plan.
Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment (LFMP 87-09(A)) - The Zone 9 LFMP
Amendment will reflect the land use designation changes and identify the new impacts of the
proposed land use changes. Per the requirements of the Carlsbad Growth Management Program, the
Zone 9 LFMP must be updated to be consistent with the General Plan designated land uses proposed
by the Master Plan Amendment. The Zone 9 LFMP Amendment addresses existing and future
projected adequacy of public facilities through build out of the Master Plan to City build out.
Master Plan Amendment (MP 175 (D)) - The proposed Master Plan Amendment (MP-175(D))
is the fourth Master Plan Amendment for this area. The three previous Master Plan Amendments
involved the BLEP Master Plan. The latest proposed Master Plan Amendment is to remove the
BLEP educational uses and provide new land uses and development standards for this area to be more
complimentary to the surrounding uses.
D. HISTORY The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan Area was previously known as the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park (BLEP) Master Plan Area. The BLEP Master Plan was originally approved by City Council on October 22, 1985. The BLEP Master Plan was prepared to facilitate the development of a private university with associated research and development facilities. The Master Plan also included a variety of housing types as well as recreational commercial, neighborhood commercial, travel service commercial, time-share units and a hotel with conference facilities. Exhibit 2 on page 7 shows the existing BLEP Master Plan Land Use designations. Since the approval of the BLEP Master Plan, the only development that has occurred is that which exists in Planning Area J. There are currently 70 single family homes built within the Master Plan Area in Planning Area J and an additional 5 custom home sites remaining vacant in Planning Area J.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 6 October 20, 1993
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan (MP-175(D)) is the result of a change of ownership from Sammis
Properties to the Kaiza Poinsettia Corporation. Kaiza Poinsettia has subsequently evaluated the
viability of the private school concept. Present and future projections indicate that the private school
could not be implemented on this site. Therefore, this proposal to amend the Batiquitos Lagoon
Educational Park Master Plan will change the land uses on the east side of the AT&SF Railway right-
of-way, where the school site had been proposed previously. Uses on the west side of the railway
right-of-way will remain substantially as approved under the BLEP Master Plan.
The following is brief summary of significant dates in the history of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan
Area. A more complete history is contained in Appendix A:
October 15 and October 22, 1985 - GPA/LU 85-10, ZC-319, MP-175, CT 85-14, PUD 90 and SDP
85-5 and EIR 84-3 approved. Approval of the original Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master
Plan included the following:
1) Full environmental review of the site
2) A General Plan Amendment to change the land uses from RM to RM, RMH, RC,
P, N, TS/C and OS
3) Local Coastal Program Amendment to change the land uses consistent with the
GPA
4) Zone Change to change the Zoning designation to PC (Planned Community)
5) The BLEP Master Plan
6) A Tentative Map and Planned Development Permit to allow for the development
residential dwelling units
7) A Site Development Plan dated November 22, 1985 - Coastal Development Permit

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 9 October 20, 1993
II. CIRCULATION AND ROADWAY ALIGNMENT
Existing and future roadways within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area help to define the logical planning
areas for the Master Plan. Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle, a Circulation Element roadway and an
existing collector street (respectively), serve as the main thoroughfares within the project. It is anticipated that
the construction of the future public roadways within this Master Plan shall be financed through an assessment
district, subject to approval of the City of Carlsbad. The facilities referenced in this chapter of the Master Plan
may be constructed in advance of meeting the prerequisite conditions for development approvals for Planning
Areas west of the railroad right-of-way, including the requirement for a Major Master Plan Amendment or
other development approvals required prior to development of the west-side.
Avenida Encinas exists currently from the eastern project boundary to its intersection with Windrose Circle.
Windrose Circle exists from the intersection with Avenida Encinas to the second intersection with existing
Navigator Circle. At the time this portion of Windrose Circle was constructed, right-of-way to the west of the
current terminus (entrance to Planning Areas A-2 and A-3) was also dedicated. The portion of both dedicated
and constructed Windrose Circle right-of-way west of the entry into Planning Areas A-3 and A-4 will be
vacated on the appropriate final map. Ponto Drive currently exists in the western portion of the Master Plan
and intersects as an interchange with Carlsbad Boulevard. Due to intersection spacing requirements, this
interchange will be closed and an interim (temporary) Ponto Drive will be reconfigured to connect through
Planning Area F. Carlsbad Boulevard currently exists as a four-lane highway along the western boundary of
the Master Plan area. These roadways are generally shown on Exhibit 3 on page 12. The following sections
describe improvements which will be provided for the Master Plan.
As shown on Exhibit 3, page 12, Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle will be public streets. All other streets
within the Master Plan boundary will be private and gated with the exception of internal streets associated with
Planning Areas A-3, A-4 and J. The location of gated entries is shown in the Community Theme Element
Chapter of this Master Plan on Exhibit 29 on page 63. In addition to these gate, additional gates within
Navigator Circle may be provided for the existing Planning Area J subject to all of the following: 1) approval
of design and gates by the California Coastal Commission through amendment of the existing Coastal
Development Permit; 2) conformance with the City of Carlsbad's engineering design standards; 3) completion
of successful negotiations between the homeowners' association of Planning Area J and the Poinsettia Shores
land owner regarding any additional right-of-way which may be required for additional street width, etc. and 4)
process an amendment to the existing PUD permit for Planning Area J (PUD 95).
A. Avenida Encinas
Avenida Encinas will be dedicated to 84 foot right-of-way width and constructed to include two lanes
of travel and two bike lanes in a 48 foot-wide roadway from Windrose Circle to the west end of the
bridge over the AT&SF railroad, including the bridge. The bridge will be constructed to include the
48 foot street section plus curbs, sidewalks and bike lanes as with the rest of the roadway. From the
west end of the bridge to then intersection with interim Ponto Drive, the roadway will make a
transitional flare from a 2-lane 48 foot roadway to a four-lane 64 foot roadway. Between Ponto Drive
and Carlsbad Boulevard the road will be a four-lane secondary arterial through the double intersection
with Carlsbad Boulevard.
Amended May 12, 1994
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 10 October 20, 1993
Construction of Avenida Encinas will occur prior to issuance of the first certificate-of-occupancy
within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area (excepting the 75 lots within existing Planning Area J),
unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. Prior to recordation of a final map, issuance of a
grading or building permit for any planning area requiring roadway improvements, a striping plan for
intersection improvements shall be provided to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This Master
Plan establishes the road alignment, intersection spacing and access points for the Master Plan are
shown at 1" = 100' scale on the Master Plan Circulation and Road Alignment Exhibit, Exhibit 4
(Pocket A). Lane configurations for Avenida Encinas are shown on Exhibit 5 on page 13. Future
development shall occur in conformance with this the alignments shown, unless otherwise approved
by the City Engineer.
B. Ponto Drive Once the Avenida Encinas connection with Carlsbad Boulevard and the interim Ponto Drive connection are operational, the existing Ponto Drive interchange shall be removed from service. Sufficient paving shall be removed and barricading installed in order to accomplish this removal from service. In the future, if a new Ponto Drive intersection with Carlsbad Boulevard is constructed further to the north of the interim connection with Avenida Encinas, then the interim Ponto Drive need not be connected to Avenida Encinas and can be removed and vacated within Planning Area F. The ultimate removal of the
existing Ponto Drive underpass at Carlsbad Boulevard will be addressed as described under
section C below.
C. Carlsbad Boulevard Carlsbad Boulevard adjacent to the Master Plan is designated on the City Circulation element as a four lane major arterial. The existing Carlsbad Boulevard roadway is built to four lanes; however, the existing improvements are not built to City standards. Carlsbad Boulevard lacks curb, gutter, sidewalk median and streetlight improvements. In addition, the median width significantly exceeds normal City standard requirements which creates design and operation problems for intersecting streets. Therefore, prior to construction of any new Carlsbad Boulevard improvements (except for the intersection of Avenida Encinas and Carlsbad Boulevard described under Section A of this chapter), the City may prepare and adopt a study report analyzing alternative Carlsbad Boulevard alignments. Development of the east-side (east of the railroad right-of-way) of the Master Plan shall not be subject to this study and report, and such a study and report is not a condition for development to occur on the east-side. Development of the west-side of the Master Plan (west of the railroad right-of-way) can occur prior to a City decision on realignment or completion of such study and report provided, however, the developer of the west-side shall be required to deposit an in-lieu cash deposit (or acceptable bond) with the City for frontage improvements in an amount equal to the value of the frontage and median improvements as described below. Any realignment or study of Carlsbad Boulevard shall not be a condition and an improvement requirement for either the east or west-side. The frontage improvements described above shall include, but not be limited to, installation of curb and gutter, sidewalk, median curbing, full landscape median treatment, streetlights and necessary utility relocations. In addition, the west-side developer shall be responsible for the demolition of the existing Ponto underpass structure and reconstruction of new north bound lanes in its place or shall
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 11 October 20, 1993
propose an alternative plan for redesign acceptable to the City Engineer and the Planning Director.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 14 October 20, 1993
III. LAND USE
A. GENERAL PLAN The General Plan designations of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan are shown on Exhibit 6 on page 15, and listed by planning area on the Land Use Summary Table, Exhibit 9, on page 21. These designations are: RM - Residential Medium 4-8 dwelling units per acre (Growth Control Point 6.0 du/ac) TS/C - Travel Service/Community Commercial NRR - Non-residential Reserve OS - Open Space All development within the Master Plan shall be consistent with these land use designations as well as complying with all other Master Plan and Planning Area Development Standards. It should be noted that Planning Area F carries a Non-residential Reserve (NRR) General Plan designation. As shown on Exhibit 9 (Land Use Summary Table), Planning Area F is an "unplanned" area, for which land uses will be determined at a later date when more specific planning is carried out for the areas west of the railroad right-of-way. A future Major Master Plan amendment and LCP amendment will be required prior to further development approvals for Planning Area F. The intent of the NRR designation is not to limit the range of potential future uses entirely to non-residential, however, since the City's current general plan does not contain an "unplanned" designation, NRR was determined to be appropriate at this time. In the future, if the Master Plan amendment has not been processed, and the City develops an "unplanned" General Plan designation, then this site would likely be redesignated as "unplanned". Future uses could include, but are not limited to: commercial, residential, office, and other uses. Planning Area F is further discussed on page 105.
B. ZONING REGULATIONS
The property within the boundary of this Master Plan is zoned Planned Community, (PC), as shown on Exhibit 7 on page 16. The PC Zone requires that a Master Plan be approved prior to any development on the site. The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan complies with all of the requirements of Chapter 21.38, the Planned Community Zone, of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and represents the zoning for the property within its boundaries. This Master Plan has been prepared in compliance with the four goals of the Intent and Purpose section, (21.38.010), of the PC Zone as described below:

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 16 October 20, 1993
Exhibit 7 Zoning
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 17 October 20, 1993
1. Provide a method for and encourage the orderly implementation of the General Plan and
any applicable specific plans by the comprehensive planning and development of large
tracts of land under unified ownership or developmental control so that the entire tract will
be developed in accord with an adopted master plan to provide an environment of stable
and desirable character;
2. Provide a flexible regulatory procedure to encourage creative and imaginative planning of
coordinated communities involving a mixture of residential densities and housing types,
open space, community facilities, both public and private and, where appropriate,
commercial and industrial areas;
3. Allow for the coordination of planning efforts between the developer and the city to provide
for the orderly development of all necessary public facilities to ensure their availability
concurrent with need;
4. Provide a framework for the phased development of an approved master planned area to
provide some assurance to the developer that later development will be acceptable to the
city; provided such plans are in accordance with the approved planned community master
plan.
C. LAND USES
For planning purposes, the Master Plan is divided into Planning Areas as shown on Exhibit 8 on page
20. Detailed land use information1 for each Planning Area is shown on the Land Use Summary
Table, Exhibit 9 on page 21. Specific design guidelines for each planning area are contained in
Chapter X. A general description of each land use is provided below.
1. RESIDENTIAL
The master plan area will provide a diversity of housing to include single family, clustered
single-family and multi-family homes.
In addition, this Master Plan provides a portion of the homes as affordable to lower income
families (see Chapter VII for complete information).
a. Single-family - Planning Areas A-1 through A-4 are designated for single-family
residential development. The single-family homes will be detached units. The lots
will be minimum 5,000 square feet.
1 It should be noted that all acreages shown on Exhibits 8, 9 and throughout the Master Plan are
approximate, based on planimeter measurement, and subject to further refinement as individual
development plans are reviewed, prior to tentative map.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 18 October 20, 1993
b. Cluster Single-family - Planning Areas B-1 and B-2 are designated for the cluster
single-family product type. The cluster single-family units are organized in groups
of four detached single-family units located on a common property owned by the
homeowners association. These units will be air space ownership units and will
share in a common courtyard and private driveway leading to the individual unit
garage. Outdoor private use areas will also be provided for each home, within the
common property. This allowed product type is discussed in detail on pages 85
and 91.
This product type may also be utilized in Planning Area D, if an offsite location for
affordable housing is provided for through an Affordable Housing Agreement.
Please see Chapter VII for details on affordable housing.
c. Multi-family - Planning Area C is designated for multi-family development. The
multi-family units will be developed per the Planned Development Ordinance and
the development standards/design criteria set forth in this Master Plan. The multi-
family units may include but are not limited to townhomes, stacked flats, carriage
units, apartments and duplexes.
d. Affordable Housing - Planning Area D is designated as the Master Plan's
affordable housing site, unless an offsite location is designated through an
Affordable Housing Agreement between the property owner and the City per the
provisions of Chapter VII of this Master Plan. These units will be either "for sale"
or rental units, subject to the discretion of the developer. For additional
information, see Chapter VII.
2. TRAVEL/SERVICE COMMERCIAL
The Travel Service/Commercial area will be located in Planning Areas G and H. The land
uses will consist of those permitted by the Travel Service and Commercial land use
designations as described in the City of Carlsbad General Plan and as specified within the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan.
3. NON-RESIDENTIAL RESERVE
Planning Area F is an "unplanned" area, for which land uses will be determined at a later
date when more specific planning is carried out for the west-side development areas. A
future Major Master Plan amendment and LCP amendment will be required prior to further
development approvals for Planning Area F.
4. OPEN SPACE
Preservation and enhancement of Open Space is an important aspect of this Master plan.
Open Space constitutes a major portion of the Master plan, approximately 46 acres or 28%
of the Master Plan area will be retained as Open Space. The Master Plan Open Space
program consists of recreation areas, natural slopes and trails. Additionally, the Poinsettia
Shores Master Plan will provide recreation areas where applicable per the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 19 October 20, 1993
requirements of Planned Development Ordinance. A more detailed discussion of Open
Space is provided in Chapter IV of this Master Plan. Exhibit 10 on page 23 shows the open
space areas.
5. MASTER PLAN RELATED USES
a. Community Recreational Facility
A private Community Recreational Facility will be developed within Planning Area
M. The community recreation facility will be approximately 2.3 acres in size. It
will be located between Planning Areas A-1 and B-1, north of and adjacent to
Avenida Encinas. The facility may consist of a swimming pool, spa, tennis courts,
basketball courts, children's play areas, picnic areas, club house facility, and several
flat grassy play areas. This planning area is further discussed on page 124 .
b. RV Storage Planning Area
Planning Area E is designated as the Recreational Vehicle Storage Area for the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. The Planned Development Ordinance requires that
a minimum of 20 square feet per unit of RV storage area shall be provided. The
RV storage area for this Master Plan will be approximately 21,780 gross square
feet in size, including but not limited to all entries, alleys, lanes and turn-arounds.
For additional details regarding the RV storage area, see the description for
Planning Area E on page 102.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 22 October 20, 1993
IV. OPEN SPACE AND RESOURCE PRESERVATION
A. INTRODUCTION Approximately 46.0 acres or 28% of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan consists of Open Space. Exhibit 10 on page 23 shows open space within the Master Plan. The open space provided within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan complies with all applicable City ordinances and standards. As identified in the Zone 9 LFMP and consistent with the Citywide Facilities Improvement Plan, the Growth Management Open Space standard is already met for Zone 9 through the earlier preservation of the sensitive bluffs and slopes. However, Per section 21.38.060 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the Planned Community Zone, all master plans must provide 15 percent of the total master plan area, in an integrated open space program which addresses: a) Open space for the preservation of natural resources; b) Open space for the managed production of resources; c) Open space for outdoor recreation; and d) Open space for
public health and safety. As a result, the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is required to provide a
minimum of 15%, 24.4 acres, of open space. The following subsections explain how the Poinsettia
Shores Master Plan complies with this requirement.
1. OPEN SPACE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Approximately 34.8 acres of bluff and slope areas exist north of Batiquitos Lagoon in the
southern portion of the Master Plan area. This portion of the Master Plan, Planning Areas I,
K and L, has been dedicated to and accepted by the California State Lands Commission in
fee title on September 11, 1986 and will be preserved in its natural state, with the exception
of the existing desiltation basin on the east side of the railroad ROW and the planned
desiltation basin on the west-side. The existing drainage desiltation basin will remain and be
maintained by the Master Homeowners Association.
The following design guidelines have been developed to ensure that future development in
the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area provides for the preservation of these sensitive
natural areas.
a. Development of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan Area shall provide for the
preservation of the Batiquitos Lagoon bluff area as a significant visual and wildlife
resource.
b. The Batiquitos Lagoon bluff areas shall be preserved and mitigated as directed by
the Department of Fish and Game, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Army
Corp of Engineers.
c. All development shall comply with the City's Hillside Development Ordinance and
Planned Development Ordinance.
d. All development shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 21.90 and the Zone
9 Local Facilities Management Plan.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 24 October 20, 1993
2. OPEN SPACE FOR THE MANAGED PRODUCTION OF RESOURCES
This area has not recently been used for agricultural purposes. No portion of the Master
Plan will be reserved for the production of resources.
3. OPEN SPACE FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION
a. Community Recreational Center
This area will consist of approximately 2.3 acres and may include a swimming
pool, spa, clubhouse, tennis courts and basketball courts.
b. Planning Area Recreational Facilities
Additional active and passive recreational facilities may be provided in the various
planning areas. These common recreational facilities will be in conformance with
the Planned Development Ordinance, chapter 21.45.090 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code. The size and location of each of these areas will be determined at the time
of tentative map approval for each Planning Area.
4. OPEN SPACE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
All slope areas over 15 feet in height will be maintained in open space. Each Planning Area
shall provide for the dedication of open space easements for slope maintenance purposes at
the time of final map or grading permit approval, whichever occurs first for that Planning
Area.
Where deemed necessary by the Fire Marshall, a fire protection plan shall be implemented.
Any irrigation system placed in the slope areas shall comply with the City of Carlsbad's
Landscape Guidelines Manual.
B. BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN TRAILS
1. INTRODUCTION
To encourage non-vehicular movement within the community, a system of pedestrian and
bicycle trails has been developed. These trails allow residents to move freely about the
Poinsettia Shores Community and access both the open space and recreation amenities
provided. The pedestrian trail around the southern perimeter of the Master Plan is
designated to take advantage of views of Batiquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. This
trail is also designated to tie into a future citywide trail system, if one is developed. Exhibit
11 on page 27 shows the location and types of trails which will be provided. Exhibits 12 and
13 on pages 28 and 29 provides cross sections of the proposed trails.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 25 October 20, 1993
2. DESCRIPTION There are three trail types which are interconnected and allow movement throughout the community: a. Bike Paths in Right of Way Bikeways shall be provided on Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle within this Master Plan. Bicycle racks and related facilities shall be provided at common recreational facility and commercial areas to encourage this mode of transportation. b. Perimeter Pedestrian Trail A pedestrian trail will be constructed around the southern perimeter of a portion of the project east of the railroad tracks. This trail will be open to the public as well as the residents of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Sitting areas and viewpoints will be located to take advantage of back country, lagoon and ocean views. The location and design of these facilities are shown by exhibits 11 through 16 on pages 27 through 32. A-4 with public parking provided. This trail shall be constructed to provide good drainage. A cross slope shall be maintained with a minimum two percent (2%) grade with berms and ditches utilized to prevent washouts of cuts and fills. Cut and Fill slopes created by the construction of the trail system will not exceed 2:1. Trail entrance signs will be posted at trail entrances and street crossings. A Trail Construction Plan shall be provided for all planning areas containing public trails. The public trails alignment shall be as shown on the attached exhibit. The plan shall indicate that all trail alignments will be atop of the lagoon or railroad slopes and shall be constructed in the least environmentally-damaging manner. The public trail shall be a minimum width of ten feet measured inland from the top of the bluff edge or railroad embankment. The trail improvements shall include a minimum 5 foot wide improved accessway, fencing, trash receptacles and interpretive signage. In addition to the existing trailhead at Windrose Circle, two additional trailheads shall be provided: one at the southwest corner of Planning Area A-4 adjacent to the railroad right-of-way and one at the northwest corner of Planning Area A-3, adjacent to Avenida Encinas. These trailheads shall include appropriate directional signage and identification. The plan shall also include construction specifications, maintenance standards, and specify what party(ies) shall assume maintenance and liability responsibilities. c. Internal Sidewalks and Trails A heavily landscaped sidewalk will be provided along Windrose Circle. The location of this sidewalk is shown on Exhibit 11 on page 27. In addition, a pedestrian trail will run through the center of the project between areas A-1 and B-1 and areas A-2 and A-3 for the private use of the residents. The design of this trail is shown on Exhibit 17 on page 33. 3. LINKS TO CITYWIDE TRAIL SYSTEM The bluff top trail could be linked to a future Citywide trail system if the City decides to develop such a system. The City has prepared a feasibility study of a Citywide trail system but has not approved its development at this time.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 26 October 20, 1993
C. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of open space and trails will be dependent upon whether the area in question is for the
use of the general public ("public") or the exclusive use of Poinsettia Shores homeowners ("private").
Exhibit 10 on page 23 (Open Space Plan) shows which areas of the Master Plan Open Space will be
public and which will be private. The Master Homeowners' Association shall be responsible for the
maintenance of all private open space. The required/approved bluff top trail within Planning Area J,
as well as all other common area open space and recreation facilities within Planning Area J, shall
continue to be maintained by the homeowners' association in Planning Area J, unless the residents of
Planning Area J vote to join the Master Homeowners' Association for Poinsettia Shores under the
procedure discussed on page 119 of this Master Plan. In the event that the residents of Planning Area
J vote to annex, then the Master Homeowners' Association shall provide for maintenance of the trail
in area J, but not Planning Area J open space or recreation facilities.
Maintenance and liability for all areas shown as public open space shall be the responsibility of a
Citywide Open Space Maintenance District, if formed. In the event no district is formed, then these
responsibilities shall be assumed by the Master Homeowners' Association. Maintenance of all
previously dedicated open space shall remain as provided for at the time of its dedication.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 34 October 20, 1993
V. GRADING AND EARTHWORK
A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to establish appropriate guidelines for grading in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area. Although most of the Poinsettia Shores area was previously graded under permits associated with the Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park project, some additional grading will be needed to complete the construction of Avenida Encinas and complete finish grading which will create building pads which drain properly. Only Planning Area C has hillside conditions per Chapter 21.95 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Hillside Development Ordinance) which will necessitate enough grading to require a Hillside Development Permit. This permit will be reviewed concurrent with individual development plans for that Planning Area. Estimated grading quantities for the Master Plan are shown on Exhibit 19 on page 37 (Grading Concept). Final grading quantities will be determined through review and approval of tentative maps, final maps, and grading plans.
Grading for areas of the Master Plan to the west of the railroad ROW is provided only for Avenida
Encinas construction. Planning Area F grading will be addressed with the Major Master Plan
Amendment for this area. All other areas on the west-side will be consistent with the BLEP Master
Plan grading guidelines.
B. GUIDELINES The following guidelines are hereby established to assure appropriate grading designs for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area. 1. Grading plans shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 21.95, 21.38.060, and Chapter 11.06 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the City of Carlsbad Design Guidelines Manual. Preliminary and final grading plans will be prepared in accordance with the Municipal Code for review by the City Engineer. 2. Grading shall be in compliance with the policies of the City's Hillside Development Ordinance. 3. All permanent manufactured slope banks in excess of three feet in height shall be constructed at a gradient of 2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) or less. Any exceptions to this gradient must be approved by the City Engineer and Planning Director. 4. In areas where space is available within the site plan, manufactured slopes shall be contoured where possible to simulate natural terrain, except where rounding will conflict with the soil engineer's recommendations. Artificial appearing slopes with rigid angular characteristics shall not be allowed. 6. Phasing of grading within each Planning Area shall provide for the safety and maintenance of other Planning Areas already developed or under construction. 7. Phasing shall preclude, where possible, hauling of earth over residential streets or developed areas.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 35 October 20, 1993
8. Grading permits may be issued after adequate review of grading plans by the City Engineer.
These permits may be issued and grading may commence after approval of the Master Plan
and Tentative Map but may not be issued prior to the recordation of the final map, unless
approved by the City Engineer, Planning Director and the Community Development
Director.
9. The developer shall include top-soil rollback and redisking on cut/fill slopes to ensure
stability and growth.
10. Runoff and erosion shall be reduced by the construction of temporary and /or permanent
desiltation basins identified within the Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Plan, or as
superseded by a subsequent update to the Carlsbad Master Drainage Plan. Provision for
maintenance and removal of deposited sediment must be made prior to final map approval.
The plans for these basins must be approved by the City of Carlsbad Engineering
Department.
11. Grading shall be phased so that all erosion control basins are installed with the grading
operation of that phase to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
12. Temporary runoff-control devices should be installed prior to any grading activities.
13. All graded areas shall have erosion control measures installed within 30 days after rough
grading is completed. If permanent vegetation can not be installed within the 30 day period,
temporary irrigation shall be installed, if required for the maintenance of the public health,
safety and welfare.
14. If grading activities are scheduled such that landscaping and irrigation can not be completed
prior to August 1 of any year, then in addition to hydroseeding or landscaping, the developer
shall additionally jute mat or straw punch all exposed slopes to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.
15. All temporary slopes or flat areas not scheduled for development within 60 days shall be
hydroseeded. Ninety percent (90%) germination is required by means of rainfall or with an
irrigation system if rainfall is insufficient.
16. The application for grading permits must provide assurance to the City Engineer that
manufactured slope banks will be properly landscaped consistent with the City's Landscape
Manual.
17. Prior to or concurrently with an application for a grading permit, the applicant shall file for a
National Pollution Discharge Elimination Permit (NPDES) with the Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
18. All grading and erosion control shall comply with the West Batiquitos LCP. A Coastal
Development Permit shall be obtained prior to the City issuing a grading permit.
19. No grading, modifications or alterations will be allowed to the lagoon bluffs or bluff tops.
20. No grading or manufactured slopes associated with adjacent private residential
developments shall occur within public open space and setback areas.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 38 October 20, 1993
VI. PUBLIC FACILITIES
A. INTRODUCTION The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan land area lies entirely within Local Facilities Management Zone 9. Concurrent with this Master Plan, the approved Zone 9 LFMP is being updated and amended. In particular, a new Circulation section in the LFMP amendment provides updated traffic analysis and conditions based on the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Facility requirements for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan are identified in the existing Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP), Zone 9 LFMP Amendment, or as superseded by a subsequent update to the Carlsbad Drainage Master Plan or the Zone 9 Finance Plan. Together these documents will address the eleven facilities and services required by the City's Growth Management Program.
B. FACILITIES BASIS of MASTER PLAN PHASING The Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Plan and Amendment were prepared pursuant to Section 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The Zone 9 LFMP Amendment requires that a financing program guaranteeing the construction of required facilities must be approved prior to recordation of any final map, issuance of a building or grading permit, whichever occurs first in the Master Plan Area (Zone 9). The finance plan will link specific facility improvements to the Planning Area requiring those facilities for development. Together the LFMP documents and the required Zone 9 Finance Plan will: (1) demonstrate how and when each required facility and improvement will be constructed to accommodate development within the Master Plan, and (2) provide a complete description of how each facility and improvement will be financed when mitigation is necessary. It is anticipated that the financing for construction of public improvements will be accomplished through an assessment district. The need for facilities will be determined as development occurs within the Mater Plan area. Any Planning Area or portion of the Master Plan may develop so long as adequate facilities are provided to serve that Planning Area. In addition, prior to recordation of a final map, issuance of a grading permit or building permit for each planning area, the applicant shall demonstrate the adequacy and availability of public facilities and services. Concurrent with the preparation of this Master Plan, a new Circulation section was prepared for the Zone 9 LFMP. The new Circulation section contained in the Zone 9 LFMP Amendment addresses changes to the Alignment and configuration of Avenida Encinas as discussed below. Circulation and roadway alignments for the Master Plan are discussed with exhibits in Chapter II. Avenida Encinas (Windrose Circle to Ponto Drive/Ponto Drive to Carlsbad Boulevard) Avenida Encinas from Windrose Circle to Ponto Drive shall be dedicated to secondary arterial right-of-way width (84 feet), with construction of the road segment to 2 lanes to include:
a. Construction of a bridge over AT&SF railroad;
b. Intersection improvements at temporary Ponto Drive and Avenida Encinas including the
installation of a traffic signal, if required by the City Engineer. The City Engineer may
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 39 October 20, 1993
approve an alternative intersection improvement upon the vacation of temporary Ponto
Drive, if required by the City Engineer. The City engineer may approve an alternative
intersection improvement upon vacation of temporary Ponto Drive.
In addition, the Zone 9 LFMP Amendment requires that Avenida Encinas from Ponto Drive to
Carlsbad Boulevard shall be constructed to 4 lane secondary arterial standards including intersection
improvements to Carlsbad Boulevard and Avenida Encinas.
The Zone 9 LFMP Amendment anticipates that these improvements will be needed by project build
out, prior to the year 2000. However, the timing for these improvements may be required by the City
Engineer to be accelerated in the form of conditions of approval on the first, or a subsequent, planning
area development proposal (excluding any lots in Planning Area J), in order to provide access for
future development in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area.
In addition to the facilities and services outlined in the LFMP documents, there is a Master Plan
requirement (as a condition of development on the west-side) involving frontage improvements to
Carlsbad Boulevard as discussed in Chapter II of this Master Plan, page 10. These frontage
improvements apply only to the Master Plan area west of the railroad right-of-way.
Regarding school facilities, the following condition will be placed on every tentative map within the
Master Plan:
"Prior to the approval of any final map or the issuance of any permits within the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan, the applicant for the final map or permit shall
submit evidence to the City that impacts to school facilities have been mitigated in
conformance with the City's Growth Management Plan to the extent permitted by
applicable state law for legislative acts. If the mitigation involves a financing
scheme such as a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District which is inconsistent
with the City's Growth Management Plan including City Council Policy Statement
No. 38, the developer shall submit disclosure documents for approval by the City
Manager and City Attorney which shall disclose to future owners in the project, to
the maximum extent possible, the existence of the tax and that the school district is
the taxing agency responsible for the financing district. At a minimum, the project
CC&Rs shall require maximum disclosure and signed statements for disclosures
upon transfer of residential property."
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 40 October 20, 1993
VII. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The intent of this chapter is to describe the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan's compliance with the requirements
of Carlsbad's adopted Housing Element and with applicable ordinances which implement the policies and
programs of the Housing Element.
A. AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS The City of Carlsbad's Housing Element as implemented through its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Chapter 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code), currently requires that at least 15% of the dwellings in a Master Plan be affordable to lower income households. For the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan, this equates to a minimum of 68 affordable units [(the base
or 451 future Master Plan units) x (.15) = 68]. The Housing Element and implementing
ordinances (Inclusionary and Density Bonus) allow the use of several alternatives and
incentives for providing affordable housing. The following section describes the
alternatives selected for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan.
B. POINSETTIA SHORES COMPLIANCE
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan proposes that additional affordable housing units be provided, over
and above the requirements of the Housing Element, through the granting of Density Bonus at time of
first tentative map approval for the Master Plan. Under the provisions of Section 21.86 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (Density Bonus Ordinance), a 25% density bonus may be granted through
review of discretionary permits for tentative maps, parcel maps, planned unit developments,
condominium permits, site development plans and redevelopment permits. Although the Density
Bonus will not be formally adopted until the time of first tentative map approval, for planning
purposes, the proposed density bonus has been incorporated into the maximum number of units
allowable under this Master Plan. This equates to 113 density bonus units, in addition to the 451 units
allowed per Growth Management. In order for the Density Bonus to be utilized, a minimum of 20%
of the Master Plan's 451 homes must be provided as affordable housing (rather than 15% as under the
Inclusionary Ordinance). Therefore, upon approval of the Density Bonus, the Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan will provide a total of 90 dwelling units (451 x .20 = 90) affordable to lower income
households. This will leave 23 units of the density bonus for use as market rate units within the Master
Plan area (113 - 90 = 23 units). These 23 units and the 90 affordable units are in addition to the 451
base units, so that the total Master plan unit count is 564 (excluding Planning Area J).
Planning Area D is designated as the Master Plan's affordable housing site. Consistent with the
provisions of Section 21.85.110 of the City's adopted Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, affordable
housing as required for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan may be provided at an alternative offsite
location, if an Affordable Housing Agreement between the City and the property owner is developed
and approved. If no alternative site is provided, then required affordable housing shall be provided
onsite in Planning Area D of Poinsettia Shores. Phasing of affordable housing shall be determined
through the Affordable Housing Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 21.86.020.
The 23 market rate units from the proposed Density Bonus would be utilized where possible in one or more of the following planning areas: A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, B-1, B-2, or C. If offsite affordable housing is provided for through an Affordable Housing Agreement, the 23 market rate units from the proposed Density Bonus would be located in Planning Area D. These would be developed as cluster single-family product type as described in Chapter XI, under Planning Area D. In this event, if all of the 23 units cannot be accommodated in Planning Area D, then the remaining units may be transferred to other Planning Areas (specified above) within the east-side of the Master Plan. Per the City's
Amended April 7, 1998
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 41 October 20, 1993
Density Bonus Ordinance, these units may exceed the Growth Management Control Point or the
maximum units allowed by the Master Plan for any given area.
In conjunction with the Density Bonus, additional incentives are also required to be granted to the
Density Bonus applicant. For the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan, one additional incentive will be
design modifications within any of the Planning Areas to the Planned Development Ordinance
standards and/or other City policies. The modifications shall be either as set forth in this Master Plan
or approved subsequently by the Planning Director, City Engineer and approved by the California
Coastal Commission.
C. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Notwithstanding the above noted affordable housing provisions of this Master Plan, the following
affordable housing conditions shall apply:
1. This affordable housing plan serves to implement the general plan in conjunction with
related affordable housing ordinances. Unless otherwise specified in the Affordable
Housing Chapter or the "Planning Area D" section of the Planning Area Development
Standards Chapter of this Master Plan, the requirements of Title 21.85 (Inclusionary
Housing) and Title 21.86 (Density Bonus) shall apply.
2. All projects proposed within the master plan shall be consistent with the policies and
programs contained in the City's General Plan and Housing Element and any related
municipal code sections including, Title 21.85 "Inclusionary Housing", and Title 21.86
"Density Bonus".
3. No building permit for any affordable housing project of any size shall be issued unless one
of the following occurs (See condition 6 below for additional detail):
1) A Site Development has been approved for the project. The Site Development
Plan shall be processed pursuant to Chapter 21.06 (Qualified Development Overlay
Zone) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
2) The affordable housing requirement is mitigated by an offsite project, as
demonstrated by an acceptable Affordable Housing Agreement or a Site
Development Plan.
4. Prior to approval of a final map or, where a map is not being processed, prior to the issuance
of building permits for any residential project subject to affordable housing requirements the
developer shall demonstrate compliance with this section of the master plan by the
preparation and approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement.
The Affordable Housing Agreement shall comply with all the requirements of Section
21.85.160 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The agreement shall be recorded, and the
relevant terms and conditions therefrom filed and recorded as a deed restriction on those
individual lots or units of a property which are designated for the location of affordable
housing units. The Affordable Housing Agreement may call for an offsite mitigation plan
instead of onsite mitigation.
5. The required affordable housing units shall be constructed concurrent with market rate units
unless both the final decision making authority of the City and developer agree within the
Affordable Housing Agreement to an alterative schedule for development of offsite
Amended April 7, 1998
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 42 October 20, 1993
mitigation.
6. Concurrent with submittal of the first Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned Development
Permit or Site Development Plan within the east-side of the Poinsettia Shores Master plan,
one of the following shall be submitted:
1) a Site Development Plan (SDP) for the Affordable Housing in Planning
Area D. If an SDP for onsite affordable housing in Planning Area D is
submitted, this SDP must be approved prior to or concurrent with the
approval of the Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned Development
Permit or Site Development Plan in question; or
2) an offsite Affordable Housing Agreement for conversion of existing
dwelling units to affordable housing. If this option is chosen, the
Affordable Housing Agreement must be approved prior to or concurrent
with recordation of a final map for the Planning Area in question.
3) A Site Development Plan (SDP) for a proposed offsite Affordable
Housing project. If an SDP for offsite affordable housing is submitted,
this SDP must be approved prior to or concurrent with the approval of the
Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned Development Permit or Site
Development Plan in question.
Submittal of a draft of one of these items is required in order to complete the Planning Area
Tentative Map application. The phasing of construction for affordable housing units shall be
determined through one of the three mechanisms identified above (See Affordable Housing
Chapter for additional details).
Amended April 7, 1998
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 43 October 20, 1993
VIII. LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM COMPLIANCE
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area falls within the Coastal Zone. The area falls within the West Batiquitos
Lagoon Local Coastal Plan (LCP) which provides policies and development guidelines for compliance with the
state coastal act.
All proposed development in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area shall be in compliance with the
requirements of the West Batiquitos Lagoon LCP policies and provisions, including guidelines for the
development of steep slopes covered with native vegetation, grading and the provision of erosion control
devices.
A Coastal Development Permit must be obtained prior to development of any Planning Area. Please see
Section B of Chapter XI and Exhibit 31 for details on timing and requirements for such permits.
The LCP Amendment which accompanies the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is required due to the land use
changes proposed by the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan proposes to change
the current land use designations from those approved with the Batiquitos Lagoon Education Park Master Plan.
The proposed land use designation changes involve the redesignation of the land uses east of the AT & SF
Railroad right-of-way from a private school with research and development to residential of varying product
types. In addition, the proposed land use changes require text changes to the LCP , specifically to the land use
descriptions. These proposed changes require a Major Local Coastal Program Amendment.
The development of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area will require the payment of the balance of the
Agricultural Mitigation Fees as required by the LCP. As identified in the local Coastal Program for West
Batiquitos Lagoon, a portion of the required fees were paid upon the development of Planning Area J
(Rosalina). There remains a balance due to be paid to the California Coastal Conservancy for the remaining 60
acres. Agricultural Mitigation Fees are required prior to be paid to the California Coastal Conservancy for any
further development on the east-side of the Master Plan, except for Planning Areas C, B-2 and J for which fees
equal to the conversion of 40 acres have been paid previously. In the applicable Planning Areas, these fees
shall be paid for the amount of land proposed for conversion within that Planning Area. Mitigation fees
collected shall be secured prior to final map recordation and paid prior to issuance of a grading permit.
This condition also applies to grading for roadway construction in that, prior to issuance of a grading permit for
any roadway in the Master Plan which is not specifically within a Planning Area for which Agricultural
Mitigation Fees have already been paid, payment of Agricultural Mitigation Fees shall be made for the portion
of land being graded and improved for the roadway. Please see the West Batiquitos Lagoon Local Coastal
Program Amendment, processed and approved concurrently with this Master Plan.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 44 October 20, 1993
IX. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND REVIEW
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan has complied with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
through completion of appropriate environmental documentation and disclosure to the public and decision
makers.
With the approval of the previous (BLEP) Master Plan, an environmental impact report was certified (EIR 84-
03) for the Master Plan property. All environmental impacts associated with BLEP have been identified and
mitigation measures are in place where appropriate. The new Poinsettia Shores Master Plan proposes the
elimination of the private school campus, including the associated recreational commercial uses, but retains the
residential uses. These uses are of lesser intensity than the previously approved educational park with less
traffic and public facilities impacts.
The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan applicant completed and submitted to the City a full Environmental Impact
Assessment, including up to date technical studies for noise and traffic impacts. Based on this information, the
City of Carlsbad issued a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed project which requires mitigation
for any potentially significant impacts to reduce them below a level of significance. The Mitigated Negative
Declaration incorporates analysis from the certified EIR and outlines the necessary mitigation on a Master Plan
level to offset any potential impacts to archaeological, paleontological, visual resources, and noise impacts.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration incorporates a Mitigation Monitoring Program, pursuant to applicable
state law, which is reprinted in Appendix B of this Master Plan to ensure compliance during the
implementation of the Master Plan. Implementation of this monitoring program assures Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 45 October 20, 1993
X. MASTER PLAN THEME ELEMENTS
This chapter addresses some common design elements that will be used throughout the Poinsettia Shores
community to provide visual cohesiveness and order, and to establish a strong sense of place and belonging.
Each element is defined through text and/or illustrations. The elements covered in this chapter are:
Landscaping, Entry Design, Fencing, Signs, and Lighting. Site-specific design criteria for each planning area is
established in Chapter X.
A. LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES
The purpose of the landscape plan is to visually reinforce the patterns established by the Master Plan
and communicate the overall landscape concept of the Poinsettia Shores community. This plan will
serve as a guide to assure that individual projects will be compatible within the comprehensive
landscape plan for the overall community. Landscape plans shall be submitted for each Planning
Area concurrent with applications for discretionary development approvals for that Planning Area.
All landscape plans shall be prepared in accordance with the City's Landscape Manual unless
specified otherwise in this chapter or the design criteria specified in Chapter XI of this Master Plan.
All new construction shall be landscaped in accordance with the City approved Landscape Plan for
that Planning Area and be subject to City inspection of adequate maintenance levels.
Trees will be one of the dominant thematic elements used to create a logical sense of order, continuity
and contrast throughout the community. Trees will be pre-selected to provide the necessary guidance
to the various parties responsible for implementing and administering the landscape program. Plant
lists are generally descriptive of the type and character of each planting community or zone.
Additional species may be included in final landscaping plans.
1. MASTER LANDSCAPE CONCEPT
The major components of the landscape design are the existing Batiquitos Lagoon bluff
areas, ocean view corridors, trail corridors, streetscape and accent plantings. The Master
Landscape Concept proposes the use of a specific list of trees designed to reinforce the
project's coastal setting and create a sense of neighborhood. Upon ultimate development,
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area will feature:
- A public trail system along the southern perimeter of the project with seating nodes
and overview areas to the Batiquitos Lagoon.
- A private trail system within the community as well as other recreational amenities.
- A streetscape on Windrose Circle and Avenida Encinas with focal palms and citrus
trees along with accent signage, flowering shrub masses, limited turf, and
meandering sidewalks.
- Buffering and screening of adjacent mobile home park by use of large shrubs
and/or trees.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 46 October 20, 1993
Visually strong avenues of trees will line the primary streets. Mexican Fan Palms and Citrus
Trees will provide additional focus along Windrose Circle and Avenida Encinas at the
community entries and at the community recreational facility. If Citrus Trees are utilized,
then they shall be placed out of the public right-of-way or maintained by the Homeowners
Association subject to City approval. Colorful plantings will also accent the entries, focal
areas, and provide visual relief along the streetscapes.
Streetscapes for General Plan roadways are prescribed by the City's landscape manual. A
landscape setback will be provided along all arterial roads within the Master Plan area. The
setback will buffer residential units and commercial areas from traffic through the use of
mounding, walls and landscaping, thus providing an area for a common community
landscape theme to mature. The setback distance measured from the right-of-way will be (at
an average) as follows:
Carlsbad Boulevard ......................................................................................................... 40 feet
Avenida Encinas .............................................................................................................. 25 feet
a. Streets (dominant, support trees)
Landscaping of streets will provide continuity throughout the community and
create the appropriate link with adjacent areas. Streets within the Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan area will reflect the "community design theme" and be selected from
the appropriate tree list and be located as a single species per street.
- Avenida Encinas will continue existing tree patterns established by the
City of Carlsbad.
- Windrose Circle will incorporate the palm and citrus theme as stated
previously.
b. Planning Area (theme trees)
Each Planning Area may have its own distinctive theme reflective of its plant
community location.
c. Entries (accent trees)
Entries are in two categories:
- Primary Project Entry (community entry)
- Primary Planning Area Entry
Accent trees will be used to contrast with designated street trees. Major entry
accent trees will be pre-selected; however, the primary and secondary entry trees
will be selected by the developer subject to approval by the City's Planning
Director.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 47 October 20, 1993
d. Focal Accent Points
Flowering accent trees will be used at these major and minor focal points to
provide distinctive contrast.
e. Slopes
Permanent Landscaping for slopes will be designed to soften the appearance of the
slope and to visually soften the transition between slope and pad areas (See Exhibit
21 on page 52). Plantings shall be chosen from the appropriate landscape zone
while complimenting the applicable plant community and maintaining view
opportunities.

3. LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION STANDARDS
All landscape installation and irrigation systems shall conform to the City of Carlsbad's
Landscape Manual.
4. MAINTENANCE
All landscape maintenance shall conform to the City of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual and
project CC&Rs. In general, the overall appearance of the landscape shall be neat, healthy
and free of weeds and debris. All new construction shall be landscaped in accordance with a
City approved Landscape Plan, and subject to City inspection of adequate maintenance
levels.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 48 October 20, 1993
Maintenance of landscaping will be dependent upon whether the area in question is for the
use of the general public ("public") or the exclusive use of Poinsettia Shores homeowners
("private"). Exhibit 10 on page 23 (Open Space Plan) shows which areas of the Master Plan
Open Space will be public and which will be private. The Master Homeowners' Association
shall be responsible for the maintenance of all private open space, except for that in Area J.
Open Space as defined here does not include individual lots owned by a single homeowner.
The required/approved bluff top trail and its open space within Planning Area J shall
continue to be maintained by the homeowners' association in Planning Area J, unless the
residents of Planning Area J vote to join the Master Homeowners' Association for Poinsettia
Shores under the procedure discussed on page 119 of this Master Plan. In the event that the
residents of Planning Area J vote to annex, then the Master Homeowners' Association shall
provide for maintenance of the trail in area J, but not its open space.
Maintenance and liability for all areas shown as public open space shall be the responsibility
of a Citywide Open Space Maintenance District, if formed. In the event no district is
formed, then these responsibilities shall be assumed by the Master Homeowners'
Association.
5. STREETSCAPE LANDSCAPING
The streetscape scene is comprised of the relationship between buildings, structures, street
scale, adjacent view/vistas, signage, landscaping and street furnishings.
6. PLANT SIZES
Streetscape trees shall be a 15 gallon minimum size with larger sizes planted on collector
streets and Windrose Circle. Specimen trees may be utilized at project entries and other
focal points. Five percent (5%) of the trees shall required to be 24" box specimens.
Groundcover shall be hand planted consistent with the City's Landscape Manual to insure
quick cover and to reduce erosion. Additional shrubs and trees shall be planted from a
minimum size of 1 gallon containers at no less than the minimum rate required by erosion
control standards. Larger sizes and quantities are anticipated in Zone 1 areas and in other
highly visible areas.
7. LANDSCAPE ZONES
The Landscape Communities have been assigned Landscape intensity classifications based
on the intensity of maintenance and water requirements per the City of Carlsbad Landscape
Manual. A brief description of each zone is as follows:
a. Zone One: Lush Landscapes
Lush Landscaping is used along the streets, around entry monuments and in the
recreation center where lush, green, flowering landscape are required. These are
high maintenance areas and will require significant amounts of irrigation.
Consideration will be given to water conservation measures where appropriate.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 49 October 20, 1993
b. Zone Two: Refined Landscape
Refined landscape are those which require less intensive maintenance practices
(such as mowing, pruning, etc.) and less water. Their appearance is unmanicured
but well kept. These areas are primarily slopes found in private rear yards and
along main streets.
c. Zone Three: Naturalizing Landscape
Naturalizing landscape shall be planted for low use areas that do not have a refined
appearance but are not native - a transition between the two. It should be able to
naturalize and become self sustaining once established.
d. Zone Four: Native Landscape
Areas of existing vegetation planned for low-level active use where existing
vegetation is retained with very little modification. It will require a minimal level
of maintenance (usually periodic control of debris and minor clearing for seasonal
fire protection) and no supplemental irrigation. This type of landscaping exists in
major open space areas along the Batiquitos Lagoon bluff.
e. Fire Protection Zone
This zone is designed to help resolve the potential dangers of development adjacent
to fire hazard areas. The fire protection program utilizes Landscape Zones Two,
Three and Four to create and maintain a fire control landscape, as shown on
Exhibit 20 on page 51. Plants used here are specifically selected for their fire
retardant and low fuel characteristics.
Landscaping Zones One through Four, plus the Fire Protection Zone will be
implemented.

B. ENTRIES
Entry monuments serve several important purposes. They identify the community, help establish a
hierarchal order within the community (from main entry to neighborhood entry to secondary entry)
and provide unifying design accents throughout the community. The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan
Area will have primary project entries located along Avenida Encinas and near the intersection of
Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle and may have similar entries located near Avenida Encinas and
the railroad right-of-way, subject to the approval of the Planning Director and City Engineer. Exhibit
23 and 27 on pages 57 and 61 show the location of these entries. These entries are characterized by
uniquely designed pilasters and accent plantings.
Entry monumentation will be incorporated into a Planning Area's required landscape plan and be
provided by the developer. There are two primary types of entries, Project Entries and Residential
Entries. The approximate location of these entries are depicted on Exhibits 23 and 27 on pages 57
and 61.
1. PROJECT ENTRIES
Project entries are those which provide access to the entire community. They consist of
special monumentation and landscape planting. These entries will be designed to create a
portal and convey a sense of arrival. They will inform the motorist that this is the entrance to
the Poinsettia Shores Community. They will include design features that are consistent with
community fencing materials. Entry design should flow with the terrain and appear to be an
extension of adjacent land forms.
2. RESIDENTIAL AND PLANNING AREA ENTRIES
These are the entries to the individual Planning Areas in Poinsettia Shores. They are to be
designed as an enhanced extension of the community fencing detail. These should be
limited to the one or two major entry points into a planning area and will provide visitors
with the project name identification.
The entries into Planning Areas A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, and C will be manned or electronically
guarded gates. This is intended to limit the access into the private portions of the Master
Plan development area.
C. WALLS AND FENCING
One of the most dominant visual elements of a community is its fencing. It is essential for this element to be aesthetically pleasing and provide continuity in design to unify the various architectural styles within individual neighborhoods into a single community theme.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 55 October 20, 1993
Fences and walls can serve many functions including security, identity, enclosure, privacy, noise
abatement, etc. However, care must be exercised in the design of fencing in order to avoid long,
boring or awkward sections of fencing. It is intended that the available fencing types be combined to
attract interest and provide variety. Using a combination of open and solid styles, changing angles
and directions is encouraged. Long straight runs of a single fence style is monotonous and
inappropriate.
The walls and fences for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area are divided into two categories:
Community Theme/View/Noise Attenuation Wall, and Production Fencing. Locations of these walls
and fences are shown on Exhibit 23 on page 57. All wall types combine community theme pilasters
in appropriate areas.
Community Theme Walls which also serve as noise attenuation walls shall be constructed as shown
on Exhibit 25 on page 59, with a height of not more than 6 vertical feet above finished grade, unless
otherwise approved by the City Engineer. Where a noise study indicates that additional barrier height
is needed to mitigate noise to an acceptable level, then the additional height shall be composed of a
berm constructed with maximum 2:1 slope at each side and of minimum width to support the wall on
top.
D. SIGNS
Appropriate signage is important in maintaining the community design theme, as well as providing a
system for identifying community development and giving directional information to residents and
visitors. Unless noted within this Master Plan, all residential and non-residential signs shall comply
with the requirements of the City of Carlsbad's Sign Ordinance, Chapter 21.41.075(a) of the
Municipal Code. The Sign Ordinance allows for the installation of permanent directional and
freestanding signs within a Planned Community not to exceed a square footage equal to 100 square
feet plus three square feet for each acre within the development area. The Poinsettia Shores Master
Plan consists of a total of 117.4 net acres. Therefore, by multiplying 117.4 by 3 (which equals 352.2)
and adding 100, the maximum square footage for all signs within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is
452.2 square feet.
Signs utilized in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan include both temporary and permanent types.
1. PERMANENT SIGNS
Permanent signs include:
a. Trail Head markers
b. Street signs
c. Vehicular Directional signs
d. Recreation Center signs
e. Planning Area Identity signs
g. Commercial Signage
The specific locations for each sign type are shown on Exhibit 27 on page 61.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 56 October 20, 1993
2. TEMPORARY SIGNS
Temporary signs which will be present until the completion of project construction include:
a. Information Center signs
b. Future Facility signs
c. Community Entry signs
d. Directional Signs
The specific locations for the temporary signs are shown on Exhibit 27 on page 61.

E. LIGHTING
The design issue of "lighting" includes street lighting, as well as building and landscape accent
lighting, and sign illumination. Three basic principles should be considered in the provision of
lighting:
1. Street lights should provide a safe and desirable level of illumination for both motorists and
pedestrians without intruding into residential areas. However, no sodium amber lighting
shall be used.
2. Lighting fixtures should relate to the human scale, especially in pedestrian areas.
3. Lighting and lighting fixtures should complement the design and character of the
environment in which they are placed.
All street lighting shall conform to the City standards or an approved theme lighting program, and
shall be approved by the City Engineer.
Lighting for the commercial areas and the common and recreation area shall be considered as an
element of site plan review for individual planning areas. Any such lighting which will illuminate a
residential area past the hour of 10:00 pm shall be clearly identified on the site plan for the Tentative
Map. Lighting of tennis courts and/or basketball courts shall be allowed subject to the approval of the
Planning Director as incorporated into the approval of Planning Area M.
Illuminated entries should direct lighting low to the ground and be limited to only the immediate
vicinity of the entry. Lighted entries should not be distracting, create visual hot spots, or glare, etc.
Suggested entry sign illumination techniques are illustrated in Exhibit 30 on page 65.
All lighting should be designed so that it is directed away from the adjacent existing mobile home
park residences and the existing residences in Planning Area J.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 65 October 20, 1993
Exhibit 30 Sign Illumination
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 66 October 20, 1993
XI. PLANNING AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
A. INTRODUCTION The Poinsettia Shores Master Plan has been divided into nine Residential Planning Areas, one Community Recreational Open Space Area, one Recreational Vehicle Storage area, two Travel Service/Commercial Planning Areas, and three Native Open Space Areas. In addition, a Non-residential Reserve Area has also been established. No residential development will occur in any of the Open Space Areas. Open Space Area M will contain the common recreation facilities. Additional recreational facilities may be provided on other Planning Areas as an option. Each Planning Area subsection of this chapter will contain exhibits and special design criteria applicable to that particular Planning Area. Unless otherwise specified in this Chapter or within this Master Plan, Development Standards for all residential planning areas shall be in accordance with the Planned Development Ordinance, Section 21.45.090 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
Planning Area J consists of a previously constructed single family project. This project was
developed under the original Batiquitos Lagoon Educational Park Master Plan.
All ownership residential units shall be developed in conformance with the requirements of Carlsbad's
Planned Development Ordinance Chapter 21.45, unless otherwise specified in this Master Plan. It
should be noted that all acreages in this section are based on planimeter measurement and further
refinement may be made during review and approval of individual planning area development
entitlement applications.
B. SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR PLANNING AREAS There are two types of mapping required for development of the east-side Master Plan areas. A Master Tentative Map (hereafter referred to as Master Tentative Map) is required in order to subdivide the east-side into Planning Areas. In addition, dependent upon the proposed product type for a given Planning Area , either a Tentative Map or a Site Development Plan is required to be processed for the individual Planning Area (hereafter referred to as Planning Area Tentative Map/Site Development Plan). More than one Planning Area may be combined on one map subject to the provisions of this Chapter. The Planning Area Tentative Maps/Site Development Plans may be processed concurrently with the Master Tentative Map. For each Planning Area in the Master Plan, use allocation, lot sizes, special development standards, design criteria, development review process, environmental conditions, and other special conditions are specified in Section C of this Chapter. Master Tentative Map conditions are specified below. 1. Master Tentative Map Requirements Three special conditions apply to this Master Tentative Map: a) Prior to or concurrent with recordation of a Final Map, a Financing Plan for Zone 9 shall be approved per the requirements of the Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Plan and Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 67 October 20, 1993
b) Prior to or concurrent with recordation of a Final Map, the applicant shall provide
proof that a Coastal Development Permit has been approved for the map by the
California Coastal Commission.
c) Prior to or concurrent with recordation of the Master Final Map, the applicant shall
deed restrict Planning Area 'D' for affordable housing development unless and until
an Affordable Housing Agreement for an offsite or combined site is entered into
that satisfies the master plan's obligations for providing affordable housing units.
All subsequent Planning Area Final Maps shall record a notice disclosing the intent
and designation of Planning Area 'D' to satisfy affordable housing requirements.
2. Planning Area Tentative Maps or Site Development Plans
There are certain conditions which are required to be met for all Planning Areas on the east-
side of the Master Plan (east of the AT&SF Railway right-of-way). These requirements
apply to Planning Areas A-1 through A-4, B-1, B-2, C, D, E, and M as described below and
summarized on Exhibit 31 on page 69.
a. Prior to or concurrent with processing and approval of any individual tentative
maps/planned development permits for any of the east-side Planning Areas, a
Master Tentative Map shall be processed and approved for the east-side Planning
Areas, creating Master Tentative parcels for each of the Planning Areas.
b. Concurrent with submittal of the first Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned
Development Permit or Site Development Plan within the east-side of the
Poinsettia Shores Master plan, one of the following shall be submitted:
1) a Site Development Plan (SDP) for the Affordable Housing in Planning
Area D. If an SDP for onsite affordable housing in Planning Area D is
submitted, this SDP must be approved prior to or concurrent with the
approval of the Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned Development
Permit or Site Development Plan in question; or
2) an offsite Affordable Housing Agreement for conversion of existing
dwelling units to affordable housing. If this option is chosen, the
Affordable Housing Agreement must be approved prior to or concurrent
with recordation of a final map for the Planning Area in question.
3) A Site Development Plan (SDP) for a proposed offsite Affordable
Housing project. If an SDP for offsite affordable housing is submitted,
this SDP must be approved prior to or concurrent with the approval of the
Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned Development Permit or Site
Development Plan in question.
Submittal of a draft of one of these items is required in order to complete the
Planning Area Tentative Map application. The phasing of construction for affordable housing units shall be determined through one of the three
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 68 October 20, 1993
mechanisms identified above (See Affordable Housing Chapter for additional
details).
c. Concurrent with the processing and approval of the first Tentative Map/Planned
Development Permit or Site Development Plan within the east-side of the Master
Plan area, a Site Development Plan shall be processed and approved for Planning
Area E (RV Storage site). Submittal of the proposed Site Development Plan for
Area E is required in order to complete the Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned
Development Permit or Site Development Plan application for the Planning Area
in question.
d. Concurrent with the processing and approval of the first Tentative Map/Planned
Development Permit or Site Development Plan within the east-side of the Master
Plan area, a Site Development Plan shall be processed and approved for Planning
Area M (Recreation Center site). Submittal of the proposed Site Development
Plan for Area M is required in order to complete the Planning Area Tentative
Map/Planned Development Permit or Site Development Plan application for the
Planning Are in question.
e. Agricultural Mitigation Fees are required prior to be paid to the California Coastal
Conservancy for any further development on the east-side of the Master Plan,
except for Planning Areas C, B-2 and J for which fees equal to the conversion of
40 acres have been paid previously. In the applicable Planning Areas, these fees
shall be paid for the amount of land proposed for conversion within that Planning
Area. Mitigation fees collected shall be secured prior to final map recordation and
paid prior to issuance of a grading permit.
This condition also applies to grading for roadway construction in that, prior to
issuance of a grading permit for any roadway in the Master Plan which is not
specifically within a Planning Area for which Agricultural Mitigation Fees have
already been paid, payment of Agricultural Mitigation Fees shall be made for the
portion of land being graded and improved for the roadway. (See Chapter VIII.
Local Coastal Program Compliance for additional details on payment of
Agricultural Mitigation Fees.)
f. Prior to recordation of a final map for any Planning Area within the east-side of the
Master plan, the applicant shall provide proof that a Coastal Development Permit
for that Planning Area has been approved by the California Coastal Commission.
g. Prior to or concurrent with recordation of a final map for any Planning Area,
CC&Rs for a Master Homeowners' Association shall be approved for the side of
the Master Plan in which the Planning Area lies (i.e. east or west side). Formation
of the HOA must occur prior to the first occupancy in any Planning Area (except
J).
Additional conditions for each Planning Area are listed under Section C of this Chapter.

Within the portion of the 80 foot setback which is between the mobile home park
perimeter wall and the collector street in Poinsettia Shore Planning Area A-1,
landscaping shall include primarily low level vegetation that does not exceed the
height of the wall. Trees and other taller vegetation may be utilized only where
they would not block views from the mobile homes. At the request of the adjacent
mobile homeowners, no vines shall be planted along the wall between the mobile
home park and Poinsettia Shores.
Lakeshore Gardens shall be consulted and review landscaping proposals within the
80 foot setback.
Sodium amber street lights shall not be used within the setback area and none of the
street or landscaping lighting shall illuminate the back yards of Lakeshore Gardens
residences.
Sight distance criteria at street corners shall be determined by AASHTO standards. Private streets shall be designed to include a minimum 50 foot curb radius on knuckle designs. Area drains for side yards, within 3 feet of the foundation, and drainage through curbs will be allowed subject to the requirement that a fail safe overflow is provided.
Gated entry turn-arounds will be designed to conform to AASHTO "P" (passenger)
design vehicles. Bus turn around criteria is not required.
Architecture will be reviewed for consistency with the Small Lot Architectural
Guidelines.
6. Development Review Process
a. TENTATIVE MAP/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
The following conditions identify the development process for this planning area:
A Tentative Tract Map processed pursuant to Title 20 and 21 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code shall be submitted and approved prior to the
development of any ownership units within this Planning Area. The
Tentative Map(s) shall be consistent with the concepts, goals and
standards specified in this Master Plan. After final map approval of the
planning area(s) grading, building and other ministerial permits for the
development of the site may be issued provided that all public facility
requirements have been satisfied per the Zone 9 Local Facilities
Management Plan.
If any Tentative Map creates lots less than 7,500 square feet in size or
ownership multi-family units, then the developer must process a Planned
Development permit pursuant to Chapter 21.45 of the Carlsbad Municipal
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 75 October 20, 1993
Code concurrently with the Tentative Map.
A Tentative Map and Planned Development Permit may cover more than
one Planning Area if the Planning Areas involved contain the same
product type (ie. all single family or all cluster development or all
townhome etc.).
Development of this Planning Area shall comply with the requirements
stated in Section B of this Master Plan Chapter beginning on page 66
b. ARCHITECTURAL / PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AMEND-MENTS
Prior to issuance of a building permit within a planning area, the applicant may
apply for an amendment to the Planned Development Permit to modify the
approved floor plans and elevations. This request shall be approved through a
Noticed Planned Development Permit Amendment. The Planning Commission's
review of the amendment to the Planned Development Permit shall be limited to
the floor plans and elevations being proposed. No new conditions shall be added
to the previously approved tentative map. New conditions may be added to the
Planned Development Permit, provided that any such condition is limited to
architecture and floor plans.
c. TENTATIVE MAP / PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AMENDMENTS
The Tentative Map/Planned Development Permit Amendments shall be processed
subject to Section 21.45.160 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the provisions of
this Master Plan.
7. Environmental Mitigation Conditions
A buffer is required from the existing mobile home park to the north. See the
"setbacks" section above.
Prior to approval of a tentative map for this Planning Area, a detailed noise study assessing compliance with the City's noise policy shall be prepared based on finalized pad elevations. Sound walls or wall/berm combinations shall be used, where necessary and to a height necessary as determined by the noise study required for this planning area (see "Special Conditions" below), to mitigate noise along Avenida Encinas. These walls and/or berms shall be shown, reviewed and approved on plans submitted as a part of any future Planned Development Permit for this Planning Area, prior to approval of the Planned Development Permit.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 84 October 20, 1993
5. Design Criteria: In order to address potential visual impacts to the lagoon, specific architectural standards or designs must be proposed concurrent with the review of a planned development permit/or tentative map for this planning area. These development standards shall address reduction of potential visual impacts through methods which may include but are not limited to: use of single-story elements in architecture, percentage of single-story or single-story elements adjacent to the lagoon or bluff-top setback area, height limitations adjacent to the lagoon or bluff-top setback area, and design considerations such as architectural offsets and varied
roof pitches. Building coloration will be subordinate to the adjacent lagoon hillside and building materials will be compatible with the adjacent lagoon environment.
Certain accessory uses may be allowed within the rear portion of the residential lots
associated with the private open space of the blufftop structural setback area (as shown on Exhibit 10). Allowable accessory uses shall be identified with the tentative map/planned unit development approval for this planning area. Private streets shall be designed to include a minimum 50 foot curb radius on knuckle designs. Sight distance criteria at street corners shall be determined by AASHTO standards. Area drains for side yards, within 3 feet of the foundation, and drainage through curbs will be allowed subject to the requirement that a fail safe overflow is provided. Gated entry turn arounds will be designed to conform to AASHTO "P" (passenger) design vehicles. Bus turn around criteria is not required. This planning area shall provide a bluff-top pedestrian trail pursuant to the specifications on page 25 under "Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail" in the Master Plan Theme Elements Chapter. This Planning Area shall only be conditioned to
construct the portion of such bluff-top pedestrian trail which is within its boundaries. Construction of trail portions outside the Planning Area boundaries
shall be a condition of those Planning Areas in which such other portions of the trail are identified.
Architecture will be reviewed for consistency with the Small Lot Architectural
Guidelines. 6. Development Review Process (See same item under Planning Area A-1, p. 74) 7. Environmental Mitigation Conditions
This planning area is subject to special design criteria for the lagoon bluff-top area.
See the Design Criteria section above for mitigation conditions to address visual
impacts.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 85 October 20, 1993
Prior to approval of a tentative map for this Planning Area, a detailed noise study
assessing compliance with the City's noise policy shall be prepared based on
finalized pad elevations.
Sound walls and/or berms shall be used, where necessary, to mitigate noise along
Avenida Encinas, Windrose Circle and the railroad. These walls and/or berms
shall be shown, reviewed and approved on plans submitted as a part of any future
Planned Development Permit for this Planning Area, prior to approval of the
Planned Development Permit. Preliminary Landscape Plans submitted for any
future Planned Development Permit shall show landscaping along noise walls
which reduces the visual impacts of the walls.
Prior to issuance of a grading permit for this planning area, an archaeologist shall
be retained by the developer for participation in a pre-grading conference and to
perform monitoring during grading operations where, and if, cultural resource sites
are located in this planning area. Compliance with the City's standard
paleontological mitigation is also required.
8. Other Special Conditions
The portion of the lagoon bluff top trail which is within this Planning Area shall be required as a condition of Planning Area Tentative Map/Planned Development Permit approval for this Planning Area. Prior to the issuance of building permits for any home within this planning area, construction of that portion of the public trail which is within this Planning Area shall be completed.

shall occur upon recordation of the final map.
PLANNING AREA B-1
1. Description:
Planning Area B-1 is located north of Avenida Encinas and south of Lakeshore Gardens
Mobile Home Park. It has a gross planning area of 20.9 acres and a net developable area of
20.2 acres. Planning Area B-1 shall be developed with clustered single family detached
residences.
The cluster single-family units are organized in groups of four detached, air space ownership
units located on common property owned by the homeowners association. These units will
share in common a courtyard and private driveway leading to the individual unit garage,
front yard area and the area fronting the adjacent street(s). Outdoor private use areas will
also be provided for each home, within the common property.
Amended May 12, 1994
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 86 October 20, 1993
This product type provides many of the amenities found in standard single-family residential
design including: no common walls between units, private rear yards (within common
property), garages, and increased privacy. The shared common property and shared
driveway allow for clustered placement of the units around a central driveway/courtyard.
This effectively reduces the number of units requiring direct street frontage and provides
additional spacing between units across the drive. This results in a street scene which
exhibits only two units in a row spaced ten feet apart in contrast to standard design practice
under the Planned Development Ordinance which allows an unlimited number of units
spaced ten feet apart with certain design criteria for single story elements. This product type
will be approved through this Master Plan separately and on its own merits. However,
development within this Planning Area may be apart of additional Density Bonus incentives
as discussed on page 41.
An exhibit showing conceptual building layouts, setbacks and site design for each cluster is
shown on Exhibit 37 on page 85.
2. Use Allocation:
General Plan Land Use: RM (4 - 8 du/ac)
Growth Control Point: 6.0 du/ac
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan: allows 161 single-family cluster homes (plus any
density bonus units as provided on page 40 of this
Master Plan)
3. Lot size:
No individually owned residential lots; lots owned in common (see description above)
4. Special Development Standards:
Setbacks:
Garages shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet from private driveways.
Minimum distance between homes on common lots shall be 10 feet excluding
architectural feature intrusions as allowed by Section 21.45.090(b)5 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code (Planned Development Ordinance).
Driveways for clustered single family serving four or less units may be 24' in width.
An 80 foot structural setback shall be provided between Planning Area B-1 and the existing mobile home park to the north. No structures shall be allowed within this setback, however, streets, landscaping, parking, a private trail and associated uses are allowed. All utilities shall be underground in this setback. Landscaping design criteria within this setback are discussed below.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 102 October 20, 1993
PLANNING AREA E
1. Description:
Planning Area E is located east of and adjacent to the AT&SF Railway right-of-way and
north of and adjacent to Avenida Encinas. Planning Area E has a gross area of 0.9 acres and
a net developable area of 0.5 acres. This Planning Area is intended to provide recreational
vehicle storage for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan residents.
Per the requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance, 20 square feet per unit of
recreational vehicle storage space shall be provided for all units. The Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan allows for 451 market rate dwelling units, plus an additional 23 market rate
units with the proposed density bonus for a total of 474 market rate units. The 90 affordable
housing units are not included in this total since the residents of these units would be less
likely to own luxury recreation vehicles. Therefore, the total requirement for the Master Plan
is 9,840 square feet of recreational vehicle parking (20 x 474 = 9,480). The proposed RV
site is approximately 0.5 net developable acres or 21,780 square feet in size. This will more
than satisfy the required minimum.
This RV storage area shall be operated and maintained by the Poinsettia Shores Master
Homeowners' Association. Recreational Vehicle storage shall be available by use of a paved
access road prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any residential unit in
the Master Plan. If there is space available within the RV storage area, nonresidents of the
Master Plan may be allowed to store their recreational vehicles in this area. The fees charged
to these nonresidents shall be used to pay for the maintenance of the RV storage area. As
the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan is developed, residents of the Master Plan area shall have
priority over nonresidents for storage space within the Recreational Vehicle Storage Area.
2. Use Allocation:
General Plan Land Use: RM (4 - 8 du/ac)
Growth Control Point: 6.0 du/ac
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan: allows for the storage of recreational vehicles.
3. Design Criteria:
All open parking areas shall be screened from adjacent roadways and structures
through a combination of planting, berming and low walls.
Private streets shall be designed to include a minimum 50 foot curb radius on
knuckle designs.
Sight distance criteria at street corners shall be determined by AASHTO standards.
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 103 October 20, 1993
4. Development Review Process
A Site Development Plan is required to be processed and approved prior to
development within this Planning Area. For additional detail and special
conditions, see Section B of this Chapter of the Master Plan on page 66.
5. Environmental Mitigation Conditions
Prior to issuance of a grading permit for this planning area, an archaeologist shall
be retained by the developer for participation in a pre-grading conference and to
perform monitoring during grading operations where, and if, cultural resource sites
are located in this planning area. Compliance with the City's standard
paleontological mitigation is also required.
6. Other Special Conditions
Development of this Planning Area shall comply with the requirements stated in
Section B of this Master Plan Chapter beginning on page 66.

Poinsettia Shores Master Plan 105 October 20, 1993
PLANNING AREA F
1. Description:
Planning Area F is located at the far northwest corner of the Master Plan area west of the
AT&SF Railway right-of-way. This Planning Area has a gross area of 11.3 acres and a net
developable area of 10.7 acres.
2. Land Use Allocation:
General Plan Land Use: NRR (Non-Residential Reserve)
Planning Area F carries a Non-residential Reserve (NRR) General Plan designation. As
shown on Exhibit 9 (Land Use Summary Table), Planning Area F is an "unplanned" area,
for which land uses will be determined at a later date when more specific planning is carried
out for areas west of the railroad right-of-way. A future Major Master Plan amendment and
LCP amendment will be required prior to further development approvals for Planning
Area F.
The intent of the NRR designation is not to limit the range of potential future uses entirely to
non-residential, however, since the City's current general plan does not contain an
"unplanned" designation, NRR was determined to be appropriate at this time. In the future,
if the Major Master Plan amendment has not been processed, and the City develops an
"unplanned" General Plan designation, then this site would likely be redesignated as
"unplanned". Future uses could include, but are not limited to: commercial, residential,
office, and other uses, subject to future review and approval. For residential uses to be
approved in planning area F, or any planning area west of the railroad tracks, there would
have to be a determination that residential dwelling units could be available through the
southwest quadrant to this property consistent with the City's Growth Management Plan as
part of the Major Master Plan Amendment.
3. Special Development Standards:
All structures shall be set back a minimum of 40 feet from the AT&SF Railroad
Right-of-Way. Allowable uses within this setback include streets, parking and
landscaping.
All structures shall be set back a minimum of 40 feet from Carlsbad Boulevard.
The setback shall include a link of the Citywide Trail System, if adopted.
Allowable uses within this setback include streets, parking and landscaping.
Special development standards for this planning area will be developed through the
future Major Master Plan Amendment.
As part of any future planning effort, the city and developer must consider and document the need for the provision of lower cost visitor accommodations or recreational facilities (i.e., public park) on the west side of the railroad.

4. Approval Process:
Prior to approval of a tentative map or Site Development Plan for this planning
area, a Major Master Plan Amendment and LCP Amendment shall be required to
address any proposed use and design criteria for this site. Based on the proposed
use and design criteria, additional discretionary applications may be required
including but not limited to a General Plan Amendment and Local Facilities
Management Plan Amendment.
Prior to approval of further development approvals for this area, the applicant must
submit one of the following:
a. An economic impact study for Planning Area F; or
b. Justification showing how the proposed use in Area F has either an equal
or lower economic impact on the City than was estimated in the original
Kaiza Poinsettia Master Plan Economic Impact Study. This study must
be reviewed and approved the Planning Director. If the Planning Director
finds that the justification does not clearly show an equal or lesser impact
than previously estimated, then a full economic impact report shall be
prepared as in Item "b" above.
5. Environmental Mitigation Conditions
Prior to approval of further development approvals for this area, additional
environmental review shall be conducted to determine whether any significant
environmental impacts will occur as a result of the proposed use, beyond those
originally anticipated in EIR 84-3.
6. Other Special Conditions
For residential uses to be approved in planning area F, there would have to be a determination that residential dwelling units could be available through the southwest quadrant to this property consistent with the City's Growth Management Plan as part of the Major Master Plan Amendment. Development of this Planning Area shall comply with the requirements stated in Section B of this Master Plan Chapter beginning on page 66. PLANNING AREA G 1. Description: Planning Area G is located west of the AT&SF Railway right-of-way, east of Carlsbad Boulevard, north of Planning Area H and south of the Avenida Encinas extension.
