COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMITS
4 APPLICATION CHECKLIST FOR SINGLE FAMILY
REGULAR & MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMITS
(Application checklist for Non-Single Family Regular Coastal Development Permits covered under separate handout)
This supplemental application is to be filed for any development requiring a Coastal
Development Permit issued by the City of Carlsbad.
I. GENERAL BACKGROUND
^A. Estimated Cost of Development:
Development costing $60,000 or more does not qualify as a Minor Coastal
Development Permit. The Planning Director shall make the final determination
regarding a project's cost of development.
The primary basis for determining cost of development will be the application of
dollar costs per square foot for different types of residential construction. These
costs are set by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) and
are applied throughout San Diego County.
Please complete the following information to assist in the determination of this
project's cost of development (Contractor proposals may also be submitted for
consideration by the Planning Director).
=> New Residential Square Footage:
217,336 square feet x $78.00/sq. ft. = $ 16,952,208
=> Residential Addition Square Footage:
square feet x $94.00/sq. ft. = $ ;
=> Any Garage Square Footage:
40,400 square feet x $22.00/sq. ft. = $ 888,800
=> Residential Conversion Square Footage:
square feet x $26.00/sq. ft. = $
=> For Non-Residential Uses, use the following figures for calculations:
Retail/Store @ $38.00/sq. ft.; Restaurant @ $69.00/ sq. ft.; Office @
S55.00/ sq. ft.; Manufacturing/Warehouse @ $24.00/sq. ft.:
square feet x $ /sq. ft. = $

Subject: Re: Kelly Ranch Apartments
Christer, the best I can gather from the team is that 495 units are simply too many as related to the
percentage of total housing units within Kelly Ranch. When I pressed for a number, the most common one
was 320 which I believe was the original proposal for D, G and H. However, Marty and Michael both said
during a recent meeting that they did not want to give a number and maybe the Council might be OK with
495 units. No one seems to be sure as to how to proceed. My feeling is that we simply need to look at the
density and determine if it is in line with other approved apartment projects. If it is, we maybe should not
request a change and let the Council decide. However, I did hear that to provide for an acceptable design,
they should provide for more articulation by dropping some end units on each building. My feeling is that
we should make them first really design the project well and see how many units they lose simply by
providing a better design. I personally think that maybe 400 units is a good number to shoot for, but that
was not an agreed upon number by the Housing Team. I will bring this issue up again at Marty's
Community Development Meeting tomorrow and see if I can get you some better direction. Thanks!
>» Christer Westman 06/30/98 01:56PM »>
Afternoon Debbie
I have read the letter dated June 15 and addressed to you from Larry Clemens. It is true that we have
gotten closer to an acceptable architectural design.
The still loomimg issue is the density, as I understand it. It seems as though the letter which was sent
from the Housing Committee was clear in stating that there may be too many units proposed.
Following the Housing Committee's lead, I will attempt to direct them into a reduction direction on the site
plan. But before I do that, I would like to get a better feel of how much of a density reduction is most
desired. Also if the Commmittee is looking for smaller buildings, fewer of the large ones, or a greater
percentage of two story elements on the proposed buildings.
If you have a feel, can you please sent me an e-mail or give me a call at 4448?

A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Item No.
P.C. AGENDA OF: July 7, 1999
Application complete date: October 29, 1998
Project Planner: Christer Westman
Project Engineer: Mike Shirey
SUBJECT: SDP 98-04/CDP 98-66 - KELLY RANCH APARTMENT PROJECT -
Request for approval of a 494 unit apartment project on 36.34 acres of land
generally located south of Cannon Road and east of Faraday Avenue in Local
Facilities Management Zone 8.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4567 and 4568
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Site Development Plan SDP 98-04 and Coastal
Development Permit CDP 98-66 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The project is the proposed site plan and architecture for 494 apartment units in multiple
buildings within the Kelly Ranch subdivision, CT 97-16. Earlier this year, the Planning
Commission and the City Council reviewed and approved the Kelly Ranch subdivision and the
associated legislative actions which created 5 large lots, approved the general grading concepts,
and designated the site for multi-family residential development.
The project proposes to satisfy the inclusionary requirements for the entire Kelly Ranch
subdivision by providing 132 "affordable" apartment units. The affordable units will not be
located in a single building, but will be spread throughout the apartment complex.
The project is located within the Mello II segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program and
therefore requires approval of a Coastal Development Permit consistent with the Mello JJ
policies.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The site is zoned Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) with a Qualified (Q) Overlay. The "Q"
Overlay adds the requirement of project review by Site Development Plan. The R-3 designation
is typically characterized by larger multiple unit residential buildings. The project is the proposal
of 494 apartment units within 26 buildings over a 36.34 acre area. There are four building types.
The project is predominantly a combination of 12 building types "A" and "B". This combination
has a total of 446 units. There are two type "D" buildings with a total of 40 units and a single
type "C" building with 8 units. The buildings are arranged at angles to each other on varying pad
elevations.
SDP 98-04/CDP 98-66 KELLY RANCH APARTMENTS
July 7, 1999

The architectural design of the buildings recalls elements of Mediterranean detailing. Design
cues include wrought iron, arches, columns, window surrounds, multiple building planes,
corbels, and trellises. A color pallet is proposed of varying colors and tones to assist the
architecture create a sense of multiple buildings within one structure.
Units are one, two and three bedroom. They range from 580 square feet for the one bedroom/one
bath Plan 1 to 1,340 square feet for the three bedroom/two bath Plan 8.
The project is subject to:
A. General Plan/Growth Management
B. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
C. City Council Policy 43
D. 21.53.120 (SDP) Affordable Housing Multi-family Residential
E. Q Overlay Ordinance
F. Mello II segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program
IV. ANALYSIS
A. General Plan/Growth Management
The site was recently designated in the General Plan as Residential Medium High (RMH). RMH
was chosen as the appropriate designation since under that designation the site could
accommodate the proposed project's number of market rate units under the growth control point
and not exceed the top of the 8-15 dwelling unit range, even when the required inclusionary units
are added to the project total. Designating the property as Residential High (RH) was considered
but was rejected since an RH designation would have allowed up to 625 market rate apartment
units under the growth control point (19 du/ac) and the potential of going up to 757 dwelling
units.
The RMH designation is characterized by urban multiple residential areas comprised of
condominium or apartment development. The density range for RMH is 8-15 dwelling units per
acre. Based on a net developable area of 32.94 acres, the project site can accommodate a range
of 263 to 494 residential dwelling units and be consistent with the RMH General Plan
designation.
The Growth Management Control Point for RMH is 11.5 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).
Applying the control point to 32.94 acres results in a maximum allowable dwelling unit count of
378. However, the project is proposed with 362 market rate apartments and 132 "affordable"
apartments for a total of 494. The gross number of proposed dwelling units is at the top of the
General Plan range.
B. Inclusionary Housing
The project has been designed to provide the required "affordable" units for all of the Kelly
Ranch except Planning Areas K and L. Based on a buildout assumption of 877 units for the
Kelly Ranch, 132 units (15%) are required to be affordable. The affordable units will include 14
with 3 bedrooms.
Km.SDP 98-04/CDP 98-66 KEv RANCH APARTMENTS
July 7, 1999
Page 3
The Kelly Land Company has entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement which will
guarantee that the required affordable units will be built concurrently with the availability of
market rate units within the Kelly Ranch.
C. City Council Policy 43: Excess Dwelling Unit Allocation
In the past year, land use changes have been made within Zone 8 which have resulted in a
reduction in the assumed number of residential units from 1,224 to 963. This is a reduction of
261 residential units. These 261 residential units are considered "excess".
City Council Policy 43 states that it is not mandatory that these excess dwelling units be
allocated if they become available in any quadrant and that it would be desirable to attain
development densities below the ultimate residential dwelling unit cap of each quadrant.
However, excess quadrant units may be considered for allocation subject to the required findings
of the Growth Management Ordinance and the order of priority established by Council Policy
No. 43.
Each of the required Proposition "E" findings can be made. Each required finding follows with a
brief comment regarding the project's compliance with the finding:
• FINDING: The project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in
excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public facilities plans
will not be adversely impacted.
The project is proposed to be developed at 116 dwelling units above the growth control point.
All of the required public facilities have been sized to meet or exceed the demand for the
additional units. In addition, fees will be assessed to accommodate the added demand for
services.
• FINDING: There have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at densities
below the control point to cover the units in the project above the control point so that
approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit.
Within Zone 8, there are 261 excess units. The project requests allocation of 116 of those units.
• FINDING: All necessary public facilities required by Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code will be constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the
need for them created by this development and in compliance with the adopted City
standards.
The project has been conditioned to provide all of the required public facilities for both the
market rate and "affordable" units.
Through the analysis of the different land uses within the Kelly Ranch, it was determined that a
Residential Medium High (RMH) designation would be more appropriate for Planning Areas D,
G, and H than a Residential High (RH) designation. An RH designation would have allowed up
to 625 units at a growth control point of 19 du/ac. This number of units on the site was
SDP 98-04/CDP 98-66 KE^LY RANCH APARTMENTS
July 7, 1999
Page 4
considered to be too intense. Therefore, the RMH designation was considered to be more
appropriate because it provided a cap of 494 apartment units at the top of the RMH density range
of 8-15 du/ac. This cautious application of density regulation considered the implementation of
Policy 43 priorities to allow the density of the project to reach the top of the density range.
Regarding Policy 43 priorities, projects which are eligible for consideration as first priorities
include lower-income residential projects and projects which cluster for the preservation of larger
areas of sensitive habitat. Lower income affordability is where allowable housing expenses paid
by the qualifying household do not exceed 30% of the gross monthly income, adjusted for
household size, at 80% of the county median income.
The project does have an affordable component as discussed in an earlier section, Inclusionary
Housing, and is also part of the overall Kelly Ranch development which has preserved
significant areas of sensitive habitat. The project therefore qualifies for excess unit allocation.
D. 21.53.120 (SDP) Affordable Housing Multi-family Residential
Pursuant to Section 21.53.120 (Carlsbad Municipal Code), multi-family apartment projects
and/or affordable housing projects are required to process a site development plan in
conformance with the development standards of the underlying zone. The project is subject to
the development standards of the R-3 zone (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.16). The
following table illustrates the required development standards and the project's compliance with
those standards.

The project has been designed with Mediterranean architectural elements which include wrought
iron, columns, pot shelves, and ceramic tiles. The project has been designed with multiple
building planes, corbels, arches, protruding window surrounds, tile roofs and multiple colors
which will contribute to building mass relief.
The building pads are at different levels. The differences in pad elevations range from six (6) to
thirty (30) feet. In addition to the pad height differences, the buildings have been sited at angles
to each other which creates opportunities for views from the project.and more interesting views
of the project from Cannon Road and from the north side of the lagoon.

E."Q" Overlay
Chapter 21.06 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is the Qualified Development Overlay Zone. The
intent and purpose of the overlay zone is to supplement the underlying zone by providing
additional regulations which promote orderly, attractive and harmonious development.
The overlay was applied to this site with the intention of guaranteeing that the architecture .and
site plan designs would be compatible with the surroundings and that the overall design would be
acceptable within a scenic corridor near a coastal resource. The overlay zone does not have
specific development criteria, however, the Planning Commission and City Council may impose
special conditions or requirements which are more restrictive than the underlying zone
regulations for the sake of ensuring neighborhood compatibility and harmony.
The project has been proposed within all of the regulations for the R-3 zone. Substantial
setbacks have been provided along Cannon Road in combination with elevation changes. The
project pads are approximately 10-15 feet above the road, setbacks vary because of the angle of
the building's relationship to the road with a minimum setback at any point of 45 feet. Double
and triple rows of trees will be planted along the slopes which separate the road from the
project's buildings. No special regulations beyond what has been designed into the project
already have been recommended.
F. Mello II segment: Carlsbad Local Coastal Program
The project is within the Mello II segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program and is
therefore subject to approval of a Coastal Development Permit.
The intent of the Local Coastal Program is to protect coastal resources. A Coastal Development
Permit CDP 97-43 was issued for the subdivision and grading of the property, and thereby
addressed the coastal resource issues.
As shown on the Coastal Development Compliance Table below, the proposed development is in
compliance with all applicable regulations of the LCP Land Use Plan.

Review of Required Coastal Findings
1. Conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies.
The project is located in the Mello II Local Coastal Program Segment.
The project proposes the construction of multi-family residences in an area designated for
multi-family development. The LCP Land Use Plan designates the subject site for RM
(Residential Medium) density development and is proposed for RMH (Residential
Medium High) density. As discussed below, the project complies with the applicable
LCP provisions.
The LCP Land Use Plan proposed designation for the subject site is RMH (Residential
Medium High) density development. Based on density of 8-15 du/ac, the project site can
accommodate up to 494 residential units. The proposed project will not obstruct public
views from designated view points or corridors nor will it otherwise damage the visual
beauty of the coastal zone. Sensitive resources existed previously, but were mitigated
through the approval of CDP 97-43. No agricultural uses exist on the site. Development
is not located in an area of known geologic instability. Public opportunities for coastal
resource (Agua Hedionda Lagoon) access are available from the subject site and public
access requirements in the form of Citywide trail segments are conditioned for the
project.
2. Coastal Overlay Zones.
The subject site is located in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone, however, all
issues regarding development within slope areas were addressed under CDP 97-43. The
project will not require a grading permit. Construction of the project will adhere to the
City's Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan and Grading
Ordinance to avoid increased run off and soil erosion.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that an EIR previously certified for a connected project is
sufficient for the present project. The impacts of the Kelly Ranch Apartment Project were
analyzed in the Kelly Ranch Environmental Impact Report. An initial study established, per the
State CEQA guidelines, that additional significant environmental impacts will not occur as a
result of the implementation of this project and therefore a notice of prior compliance has been
issued and published for public review. No comments have been received from the public at
large regarding the project.
In addition, the City has received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report.
The Report has recorded an unanticipated intersection "level of service" (LOS) failure at
Palomar Airport Road (PAR) and El Camino Real (ECR) during both the a.m. and p.m. peak
hours. This potentially creates a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous
environmental documentation. Pursuant to §15162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must
prepare a "Subsequent" environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded
intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has
SDP 98-04/CDP 98-66 KELLY RANCH APARTMENTS
July?, 1999
Page?
interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a "Subsequent
EIR" if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to a level of
insignificance.
A mitigation measure has been identified which, if implemented, will bring the peak hours LOS
into the acceptable range. The mitigation measure involves construction of two dual right turn
lanes-northbound to eastbound and westbound to northbound. This project has been conditioned
to pay its fair share of the intersection "short-term improvements," thereby guaranteeing
mitigation to a level of insignificance.
