Project Description/Explanation
Condominium Permit
Tentative Tract Map
November 5, 2002
Introduction
This application is for a 10-unit condominium development, with units located in four buildings.
The discretionary approvals necessary for this project include a Condominium Permit and a
Tentative Tract Map. The property consists of 1.15 acres located along the north side of La Costa
Avenue, between El Camino Real and Viejo Castilla Way. This property was previously graded
into large, stepped pads, and the existing topography slopes downward from La Costa Avenue
towards the La Costa Golf Course. The property overlooks the first hole of the golf course.
The La Costa Fairways project has been specifically designed to follow the site topography. The
buildings are designed in three levels which allows for grade to be taken up within the structures
and the open space areas and building separations to be maximized throughout the site. The
buildings have been positioned to preserve the views of the golf course to the north from the most
number of units. The project design is compatible with the neighborhood and surrounding uses.
The General Plan designation is Residential High Density (RH) with a corresponding Zoning
designation of Residential Multiple (RD-M). The City's General Plan establishes a density range
of 15-23 dwelling units per acre, with a Growth Control Point of 19 dwelling units per acre. The
proposed density of the project is 8.7 dwelling units per acre. Surrounding land uses include
multi-family condominiums to the east and west, open space comprised of the La Costa Golf
Course to the north and multi-family condominiums on the south side of La Costa Avenue.
Subdivision and Grading
The existing 1.15-acre site includes 2 existing parcels, which were previously graded by a prior
owner. The proposed project will combine these two parcels into one underlying lot, with 10
residential condominiums within the four buildings.
The elevation differential across the property ranges from elevation 54 feet above MSL at La Costa
Avenue to 18 feet above MSL along the northern property line. The site plan is arranged so that
the four three-level buildings will be constructed in three horizontal tiers as the property slopes
downward from the south to the north, minimizing steepness in the driveway and open areas.
Grading for the project includes 3,935 cubic yards of cut and 2,590 cubic yards of fill, with a net
export of 1,345 cubic yards.

Wet Utilities
On site surface water will be directed toward storm drain inlets located on either side of the cul-de-
sac bulb at the terminus of the private driveway. It will then be carried underground beneath the
driveway where it will resurface amidst a boulder-lined streambed. The streambed, located
between the two buildings at the northern end of the site, is designed to slow the velocity of the
water and will give the impression of a waterfall during periods of heavy rain. It then gives way
to an on-site detention basin lined with turf, cobble and stone.
The project will be served by public water and sewer lines which will extend from south to north.
The sewer will tie into an existing main that falls within a ten-foot existing sewer easement running
in an east/west direction along the northern property boundary.
Access and Parking
A 24-foot private driveway provides access into the site from La Costa Avenue along the western
side of the property. The private driveway design is allowed since this project includes less than
12 units, and because it is slightly narrower, the amount of pavement within the project has been
limited. A five-foot wide sidewalk is proposed along the eastern side of the driveway, and has been
located to provide convenient pedestrian access to each building. Parking for each unit includes
a 2-car garage, all with automatic garage door openers. The five required visitor parking spaces
are distributed in bays between the buildings.
Architecture
The architectural theme for this project is Spanish Colonial Revival. It utilizes classic elements and
design features to provide the homes with a special, high quality sense of place, that will be
architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, and will make a aesthetically
pleasing contribution to the community. The design uses a variety of window styles and sizes,
recesses, massing and entries, as well as architectural and trim details which contribute to the
individuality of the proposed units. The architectural styling is further enhanced by the landscape
materials, which were selected and placed to complement the overall project.
There are four three-story buildings comprised of two different building types and unit types, as
shown on the table below.

setback area from La Costa Avenue to create an attractive entry statement and pleasing transition
into the site.
The plant pallette includes species that have been selected for their aesthetic value, as well as for
their ability to thrive on the existing solar, wind and water conditions within the four planting zones
of the site. Ground covers will be planted to fill in between the shrubs over time. All planting areas
will be prepared with soil amendments, and proper landscape maintenance will reduce water usage
and evapotranspiration.
The planting materials used for the site are in compliance with the provisions of the City's
Landscape Manual. A complete plant pallette can be found on the Landscape Concept Plan.
Inclusionary Housing
In conformance with the City's inclusionary housing requirements, this project proposes to
purchase two units offsite in the Villa Loma Affordable Housing Project.
Summary
The classic elements and design features of La Costa Fairways have been combined to express an
attractive, high quality project that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood development.
Views of the golf course and common landscape areas have been maximized and the topography
of the site respected in creating high quality units. The units themselves are spacious, offering
usable living areas and a variety of convenient amenities. The project is in compliance with all
applicable development standards of the PD regulations contained in Chapter 2145 of the Zoning
Ordinance.

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP
CITY OF CARLSBAD
The Subdivision Map Act and the Carlsbad Municipal Code sets a fifty (50) day time restriction on
Planning Commission processing of Tentative Maps and a thirty (30) day time limit for City Council
action. These time limits can only be extended by the mutual concurrence of the applicant and the
City. By accepting applications for Tentative Maps concurrently with applications for other
approvals which are prerequisites to the map; i.e., Environmental Assessment, Environmental Impact
Report, Condominium Plan, Planned Unit Development, etc., the fifty (50) day time limits and the
thirty (30) day time limits are often exceeded. If you wish to have your application processed
concurrently, this agreement must be signed by the applicant or his agent. If you choose not to sign
the statement, the City will not accept your application for the Tentative Map until all prior
necessary entitlements have been processed and approved.
The undersigned understands that the processing time required by the City may exceed the time
limits, therefore the undersigned agrees to extend the time limits for Planning Commission and City
Council action and fully concurs with any extensions of time up to one year from the date the
application was accepted as complete to properly review all of the applications.
