STAFF REPORT
DATE: APRIL 5, 1995
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CP 94-02 - POINSETTIA SHORES PLANNING AREA "B-2" - A request for
approval of a Condominium Permit for 16 clustered single family homes
within the 2.4 acre P-C (Planned Community) zoned parcel of Planning Area
"B-2" in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan located north of the Batiquitos
Lagoon and east of the railroad right of way, in the Coastal Zone, within
Local Facilities Management Zone 9.
I.RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3759,
APPROVING CP 94-02, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II.PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
This project is proposing a Condominium Permit to develop Planning Area "B-2" in
conformance with the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan with 16 clustered single family homes.
Area "B-2" was mass graded as part of the existing Rosalena single family subdivision. A
Condominium Permit (CP) is required since the project addresses several components of
the intent and purpose of the Planned Development Ordinance as listed in Section 21.45.010
of the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically involved are: separate ownership of units upon a
parcel of land containing more than one unit (air space ownership), development in
accordance with the General Plan and applicable master plan, the allowance of flexibility
in project design while providing for essential development standards and the provision of
development which will be compatible with existing and permitted future surrounding
developments.

The Master Plan designates a specific clustered single family product for Area "B-2" as
conceptually depicted on Attachment "X", an excerpt from the Master Plan. The primary
components of this product type are as follows: (1) air space building ownership and
corresponding exclusive use area which total less than 3,500 square feet in area (average is
2,500 square feet); (2) a 15 x 15' minimum (225 square feet) or 10 x 30 minimum (300
square feet) area of exclusive use private passive recreation for each unit, and; (3) a 24 foot
wide courtyard serving a maximum of 4 units. These design standards are allowed via the
approval of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan which is the implementing zoning document
for the site and therefore may contain development regulations that are either not part of
the Zoning Ordinance (Title 21), or are acceptable modifications from Title 21 standards.
This innovative product type is one component of the residential product type diversity
incorporated into the Master Plan. The primary design benefits of this product type are:
the lack of long rows of garages facing onto and dominating a streetscape; and the ability
to achieve the allowed density while providing all required master plan amenities and
promoting an emphasis on pedestrian circulation. A typical 4-unit cluster layout (consistent
with the Master Plan) is depicted on Exhibit "B".
The site has a General Plan land use designation of RM (Residential-Medium). Per the
Master Plan and RM designation, Area "B-2" is allowed a density range of 4-8 dwelling units
per acre (du/ac). The proposed project with 16 units and a density of 6.7 du/ac, therefore,
is consistent with the Master Plan which designates 16 dwelling units for Area "B-2". The
site layout and overall project design is depicted on Exhibit "C".
The location for Planning Area "B-2" within the Master Plan is depicted on the attached
Location Map. It is an existing pre-graded lot associated with the earlier approvals of a
former master plan that once governed the site and at one time allowed the development
of 52 condominium units.
The site itself is essentially flat and has no unique topographic features or significant
environmental resources. North of the site is the roadway of Windrose Circle; south of the
site is the existing single family subdivision of Rosalena; east and west of the site are the
vacant planning areas of "C" and "A-4", respectively.
The master tentative map for Poinsettia Shores (CT 94-01) approved in August 1994 allowed
the mass grading of the master plan property, the construction of the Avenida Encinas
roadway and related infrastructure to allow the development of individual planning areas.
Only finish grading is required to the mass graded site for the development of Area "B-2".
The project's finish grading involves 1,900 cubic yards (CY) of cut, 1,100 CY of fill and 800
CY of export to another location on the master plan property.
The clustered single family homes will feature three floor plan types as shown on Exhibits
"D" - "F": Plan type 1 has approximately 1,665 square feet (proposed height 26 feet); Plan
type 2: 1,827 square feet (proposed height 26 feet), and; Plan type C: 2,130 square feet
CP 94-02
POINSETTIA SHORES PLANNING AREA "B-2"

(proposed height 27 feet). Elevations are depicted on Exhibits "G" - "I". No plan type
exceeds two stories. The proposed architecture is contemporary with roof tile, stucco
accented with wood trim and a variety of roof planes and articulation so that in combination
with the typical 4-unit cluster (Exhibit "B") a streetscape is created that is not dominated by
long rows of garages facing onto the internal street system. All garages face onto the
internal 24 foot wide courtyard. Every unit is served by a two car garage.
A shown on Exhibit "C", an internal 36 foot wide private street will serve the project with
guest parking allowed on both sides, that narrows to 32 feet wide to allow guest parking on
one side. Noise mitigation measures or trail segments are not required of this planning
area.
The project will take access from Navigator Circle via a private street. A gated entrance is
proposed and designed into the project consistent with Engineering Department and Master
Plan standards. The few amount of units proposed (16) does not require a secondary access
to the site per Engineering Department standards. The proposed landscape concept
(Exhibits "J" - "K") is designed to screen the development along the perimeter and from the
Avenida Encinas and Windrose Circle roadways; and to promote land use compatibility with
adjacent residential units.
III. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following land use plans and regulations:
A. Carlsbad General Plan
B. Poinsettia Shores Master Plan - MP 175(D)
C. Carlsbad Municipal Code, Title 21 (Zoning Ordinance), including:
1. Chapter 21.45 Planned Development
2. Chapter 21.85 Inclusionary Housing
3. Chapter 21.90 Growth Management
D. West Batiquitos Local Coastal Program (LCP)
A. GENERAL PLAN
The approval of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan involved several findings of consistency
with the City's General Plan. All development consistent with the master plan is therefore
CP 94-02
PODSfSETTIA SHORES PLANNING AREA "B-2"
APRILS, 1995
PAGE 4
inherently consistent with the General Plan. By providing a product type at or below the
approved density for the subject planning area, the master plan's implementation maintains
consistency with the General Plan.
By supplying residential market rate units per the master plan, the project is consistent with
the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan. The master plan was not
required to provide any additional open space beyond natural open space areas previously
dedicated by the master plan property. Since natural open space dedications are not
required of this planning area, this project is consistent with the Open Space Element of the
General Plan. By conducting a noise study and designing the project to comply with the
City's noise policy for new residential development, the project is consistent with the Noise
Element of the General Plan.
B. POINSETTIA SHORES MASTER PLAN - MP 175(D>
The proposal for Area "B-2" is in conformance with the governing master plan. The master
plan allows 16 units of the clustered single family/courtyard product type (16 units are
proposed). The master plan provides certain development standards and design criteria
which are complied with and summarized as follows: (1) an 85 foot structural setback is
maintained between the homes of Area "B-2" and the existing single family homes of
Rosalena to the south; (2) the proposed clustered single family product type is consistent
with the product type designated for Area "B-l" by the Master Plan; and, (3) no structures
will exceed the 30 feet/two story height limit associated with this planning area. In addition,
the Master Plan refers to the PD Ordinance (since a Condominium Permit is involved).
Compliance with the PD Ordinance development standards is discussed in Section D.I of
this report.
C. CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE - TITLE 21.
C.I. Chapter 21.45, Planned Development
In addition to the specific development standards established by the Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan (as discussed above) the Planned Development (PD) Ordinance is designated
as the implementing ordinance for Planning Area "B-2". All of the required findings for
the granting of a Condominium Permit (governed by the PD Ordinance) are contained in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3759 for CP 94-02. Below is an overview of the PD
standards compared against the proposed project.

The project also is consistent with the design criteria outlined in the PD Ordinance.
Findings relating to the project's conformance to these design criteria are contained in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3759 for CP 94-02. In summary, the plan is
comprehensive and innovative in that it accounts for the location, constraints (required
setback/buffer from existing single family units) and shape of the site. Adequate usable
open space and recreation areas are provided. Buildings are well integrated and the
provision for required parking areas and vehicular and pedestrian circulation is made. Being
a part of an approved master plan, there will be no disruptive elements introduced into the
community by the proposed project. The internal street system is functional while not
dominating the site and all common areas are accessible to the future residents and well
related to each other. Finally, architectural harmony will be obtained within the area
through appropriate building height limitations, perimeter screening/buffering and proper
planning of adjacent planning areas.

C2. Chapter 21.85, Inclusionary Housing
This project's inclusionary affordable housing requirement is satisfied by the approval and
development of Planning Area "D" within the Master Plan (CT 94-10/CP 94-03/SDP 94-08)
or the approval of an offsite Affordable Housing Agreement. Either case will result in the
provision of 90 affordable housing units, consistent with the Master Plan. A detailed
summary of master plan affordable housing provisions is contained in the staff report for
Area "D" (CT 94-10). While no units in the subject subdivision are required to be restricted
as affordable housing units, the project will be conditioned so that no final map approval
will be granted until the on-site project for Area "D" (CT 94-10) receives final map
approval; or an off-site Affordable Housing Agreement is approved by the Planning Director
and Community Development Director.
C3. Chapter 21.90, Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 9 in the
Southwest Quadrant of the City. Zone 9 has an approved Finance Plan which outlines the
provision of facilities and services for the buildout of the master plan, including the
allowable density of the proposed project. The impacts created by this development on
public facilities and compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized
as follows:

The project is 3 dwelling units below the Growth Management Dwelling Unit allowance, 0.7
units above the Growth Management Control Point, for the property as permitted by the
Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. This project can be approved above the growth control point
CP 94-02

since the quadrant cap for the southwest quadrant of the City will not be exceeded and
facilities serving the density in excess of the growth control point will be provided. All
required facilities and services will be available to serve the project and the anticipated
buildout of the master plan. All required Growth Management findings are contained in
Planning Commission Resolution No. 3759 for CP 94-02.
D. WEST BATIQUTTOS LCP
The approval of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan in January 1994 included a Local Coastal
Program (LCP) Amendment (LCPA 91-02) for the West Batiquitos LCP which was
approved by the California Coastal Commission on May 12, 1994. Coastal Commission's
certification of LCPA 91-02 established the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan as the
implementing ordinance/document for the West Batiquitos LCP. All development consistent
with the master plan, such as the proposal for this planning area, is therefore in
conformance with the West Batiquitos LCP and all applicable coastal regulations. A Coastal
Development Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission will be required prior to
final map approval.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
As discussed in the Initial Study for this project (Environmental Impact Assessment Form,
Part II), all potential environmental impacts associated with the development of this
planning area have already been identified and mitigated to a level of insignificance.
Environmental analysis and documentation for the master plan and subsequent planning
areas was conducted for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan (MP 175 (D)) and the master
tentative map (CT 94-01) resulting in the issuance and approval of Mitigated Negative
Declarations. Since all applicable mitigation measures have either been completed or
designed into the project (i.e. noise attenuation and noise policy compliance), no
environmental impacts will result from the proposed development of this planning area.
Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance was issued and duly noticed on January 30, 1995.
V. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The proposed project is in compliance with the Carlsbad General Plan, Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan, West Batiquitos LCP and Carlsbad Municipal Code, Titles 20 and 21 as
described in this report. Therefore, staff recommends approval of CT 94-04 and PUD 94-
03, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained within their respective
resolutions.

ACTION: Amended Motion was made by Commissioner Noble to adopt
Planning Commission Resolutions Nos. 3757 and 3758 recommend-
ing approval of CT 9408 and CP 94-01 respectively based on the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein and including
a new finding to Resolution No. 3757 to read as follows: "The
Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on
the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this
case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by
or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and degree of the
exaction is in rough proportionality to the impacts caused by the
project."

Commissioner Erwin explained that he thought this was a bad precedent by exceeding the
Growth Management Control Point in this area.
3. CP 94-02 - PQINSETTIA SHORES PLANNING AREA "B-2" - A request for approval
of a Condominium Permit for 16 clustered single family homes within the 2.4 acre
P-C (Planned Community) zoned parcel of Planning "B-2" in the Poinsettia Shores
Master Plan located north of the Batiquitos Lagoon and east of the railroad right of
way, in the Coastal Zone, within Local Facilities Management Zone 9.
Eric Muftoz gave the staff report on this Item. He showed two slides and described the
location of the project. He explained that it was a 16 unit project, maintained 85' of
structural setback from the existing Rosatena homes, and that it complied with the
innovative product type allowed by the Master Plan. He indicated that the project
exceeded the Growth Management Control Point and that the Master Plan allowed for a
maximum of 16 dwelling units in this area. Mr. Mufioz mentioned that if all the
development standards could be met, there was no reason why the proposed project
should not be allowed. He also reviewed the Errata Sheet dated April 5, 1995, and stated
that the following should be added:
"1. Add a new finding #18 to Resolution 3759 to read as follows:
"The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on
the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case,
that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably
related to the project, and the extent and degree of the exaction is in rough
proportionality to the impacts caused by the project.
2. On page 5 of Resolution 3759, Approval Condition #1, the reference to City
Council's final action will be changed to Planning Commission's final action
since the City Council will not review the B-2 project (less than 50 units),
unless appealed.

3. On page 5 of the staff report, in the Planned Development Ordinance
Compliance table, the proposed number of guest parking spaces will be
changed from 7 to 16 guest parking spaces to accurately reflect the
provision of guest parking spaces.
4. On page 4 of the staff report, underneath the Growth Management Table,
0.7 units above the Growth Management Control Point will be changed to
1.6 units above the Growth Management Control Point to correctly reflect
the units proposed above the control point."
Commissioner Monroy asked for a status of the trails in this project and how the trails will
fit with the City trail system.
Mr. Mufioz explained that the approved Master Plan has public and private trails in this
area. He referred to the slide showing Poinsettia Shores and discussed the public vs.
private trails, adjacent to the existing Rosalena subdivision, in detail. He indicated there
was only one outstanding public trail segment of the Master Plan and explained that the
developer had expressed willingness to build the outstanding trail segment. He added that
staff was working with the Coastal Commission to split the trails into two segments and
outlined the status.
Commissioner Compas pointed out that on #4 under B-2 of the Errata Sheet, the reference
to page 4 should be page 6 of the staff report.
Mr. Rudolf also pointed out that on Approval Condition #1 of Resolution No. 3759,
"recommended approval" should be deleted and "approve" should be substituted.
Chairman Welshons invited the applicant to speak.
Mr. Doug Avis, Project Director, 2300 Alga Road, Carlsbad, pointed out that there were
only 16 units in this project but it had more visibility because it was adjacent to the
Rosalena Homes. He briefly discussed the history of the trails and mentioned that he could
respond to it later.
Mr. Avis indicated that the biggest issue of the project was to create a level of sensitivity
for the backs of people's houses along Rosalena. He pointed to the project drawing and
indicated that there was originally a massive building scheduled but that this project was
being built instead. He explained that on the east side of the project sensitivity lessened
because of topographic changes and indicated that they were able to resolve the issue
with most of the people. Mr. Avis stated that they would put in a vertical separation by
the last two houses and discussed the history of the road and what they attempted to do.
He indicated that they now created a landscaped area between the back of the project and
those houses and said that he thought it solved the problem.
Mr. Avis mentioned that he would promise some additional consideration, by going into
the area and doing specific landscape design, although he was not sure what it would be.
He said that they would work with the people who lived there.
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 8
He asked that he be allowed to respond to specific questions, and reiterated that the
outstanding Rosalena trail segment should not be attached to the project.
Commissioner Monroy expressed concern that the trails had been discussed for a long time
and that perhaps the project could not be approved until the outstanding trail issue was
resolved.
Mr. Avis mentioned two historical points about the issue and said that his company was
willing to solve the outstanding problem. He mentioned that they had also accepted the
requirement for fences and trellis and explained that they had spent $70,000 designing the
trail, in addition to putting up a bond to guarantee the trail. Mr. Avis indicated that the
problem at the present time was that they could not get title and explained why he did not
feel there was a nexus between the outstanding trail and the approval of B-2.
Chairman Welshons asked if Commissioner Monroy proposed a new condition and Mr.
Wayne responded that the trail was a Master Plan issue. He stated that even though Kaiza
amended the Master Plan, Rosalena was still part of the Master Plan. He explained that
there was a requirement for that trail, and since the Planning Commission was considering
one of the planning areas, if the Commission believed that the Master Plan was not in
compliance, it could be discussed.
Mr. Wayne also stated that Mr. Avis did not feel there would be a nexus but Mr. Wayne
expressed his belief that it was not necessarily so.
Mr. Avis referred to the language of the Master Plan section under trails and mentioned
that this was discussed early in the planning of the project. He further stated that it was a
question of entitlement and the ability to construct the western point of the trail on the
east side of the desiltation basin. Mr. Avis mentioned that they could not get financing
until they received title on the property and that it was an issue that his company could
not individually resolve.
Commissioner Compas asked about the condition for landscaping and Mr. Munoz
suggested the following language:
"Prior to final map approval, the southwest corner of Planning Area B-2 adjacent to
the Rosalena homes to the south shall have a landscaping plan approved with
special emphasis given to screening any development to the north through the use
of mature landscaping, screening walls up to 42" in height or other means to the
satisfaction of the Planning Director."
Commissioner Erwin queried as to how much had been put up by the developer for the
Rosalena trail, and Mr. Avis responded that so far it was approximately $70,000 for the
planning and $102,000 for the bond.
Mr. Muftoz clarified that the City Engineer was holding $102,000 in the event the trail
construction was initiated but not completed.
Mr. Jeff McGee, 6060 Navigator Court, Carlsbad, stated that his house was the third
house on the left and pointed to his house on the drawing. He mentioned that when he
bought the property he was told that there would be a greenbelt behind his house. He also
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 9
said he was concerned about the extensive grading which took place over the past 5-6
months. He addressed the issue of the fence and indicated that he would prefer to see it
along the side.
Mr. McGee said that it was almost impossible to do landscaping to preserve his unit and
explained why. He indicated that lights would shine into his living and dining rooms and
that he was not looking forward to the potential of cars parking outside his fence while he
and his family were sitting in their yard. He mentioned he would prefer to see a retaining
wall at the location rather than an iron fence and explained that during the winter months,
shrubbery would not solve the problem. He stated that he was concerned about street
lamps and added that his immediate neighbors who could not attend the meeting were
also concerned about the road.
Commissioner Erwin asked Mr. McGee to point out his house again. Mr. McGee
mentioned that there was no space for mature shrubbery, and that when cars turned
around, the lights would go into his house.
Chairman Welshons pointed out that his questions would be answered after the public
testimony.
Commissioner Nielsen asked if Mr. McGee had discussed his concerns with the developer,
and Mr. McGee responded that although the homeowners association may have been in
contact with the developer, he was not notified or aware of any meetings to discuss the
potential problems.
Jim Gault, 7552 Navigator Circle, Carlsbad, expressed concern about the traffic pattern.
He described how the Rosalena homeowners maintained and controlled traffic on the
private road and added that there are a lot of children in the area. He stated that since
construction of the project, speed limits have increased and skateboarders were using the
road as a speedway. Mr. Gault also mentioned his concern about parked cars and how it
would cut down visibility, and also stated that there would not be enough parking places.
Commissioner Welshons pointed out that his questions would be answered after the public
testimony.
Mr. Larry Baker, 614 Navigator Court, Carlsbad, pointed out his house on the drawing and
discussed several issues. He indicated that he was pleased that the amount of units were
reduced substantially, but was disappointed in the aesthetic appearance of the units. He
also stated that he was disappointed that the developer had not advised the homeowners
and told them about the type of homes being constructed.
Mr. Baker requested that the developer answer questions regarding the exterior, type of
roof, and whether the exterior walls were framed. He explained that the lighting in the
entire project was a concern of the homeowners and discussed the grading of the project.
He continued that parking was another issue and mentioned that he did not feel the
Planning Commission should make a decision that evening until the developer set up a
meeting with the property owners.

PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 10
Mr. Avis responded to Mr. Baker's questions by indicating that the circulation issue was
the predominant issue and mentioned that the site was very limited. He explained how
they brought the recreation area to the other side of the project due to the request of the
Rosalena homeowners which resulted in a difficult property to develop.
Mr. Avis described other alternatives and why they would not work. He mentioned that
they put a limited amount of product on the property and worked out the separate issues
but that it was difficult to put a new project adjacent to an existing project. He pointed
out that there were more problems with the 16 units project than with the 158 project unit
heard earlier.
Mr. Avis also explained that they met with the homeowners and that his office was
available for comments from the homeowners. He stated that the project was good for
density and that it was necessary to look at the whole Master Plan. He added that the
landscape condition proposed would set up a process to work with some of the people in
order to attempt to gain satisfaction and demonstrate such satisfaction to the Planning
Director. He indicated that the project may end up in front of the Planning Commission
again on a separate issue.
Commissioner Savary asked about the roof and exterior material, and Mr. Avis replied that
the roof material was cement tile or shingle. He mentioned that the quality would be
comparable to that of the Rosalena roofs. He indicated that the exterior would be stucco
and verified that it would not be frame.
Commissioner Erwin stated that it would be unusual for Mr. Avis not to talk to any of the
homeowners.
Brian Murphy, Project Director, responded that he or Mr. Avis had contacted the
homeowner's association officially about 8-10 times.
In response to Commissioner Erwin's query, Mr. Avis responded that there would be an
entry statement rather than a gated entrances for the project. Commissioner Erwin also
asked about the road, and Mr. Avis replied that it will generate 160 trips a day, resulting in
approximately 8-12 trips an hour going in and out of the project.
Commissioner Erwin asked for clarification of the elevations, and Chairman Welshons
responded that this would be addressed later after the public testimony was completed.
Mr. Muftoz pointed out that the project showed a gated entrance but that it could be
removed at the developer's discretion. He mentioned that all other planning areas except
Areas A-3 and A-4 were planning gated entrances. He added that if the gate went in, there
would be less concern for lost people having to turn their cars around, but if there wasn't
a gate, that may be a problem, but not a serious problem since only 16 units are proposed.
Rosalena currently has 70 units.
He referred to the Avenida Encinas roadway designated as a secondary arterial roadway
and how the original plans were changed, resulting in a major roadway being shifted away
from the Rosalena homes.
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 11
Mr. Mufioz described the history of the site again and mentioned that the previous project
proposed a green belt but this had been changed. He discussed the issue of parking on the
proposed street and indicated that parking was allowed for visitor parking on that side of
the street. He mentioned that there was still a separation roadway and that the proposed
roadway appeared to be the logical place to put the separation, as opposed to having
dwelling units abut the Rosalena property.
He addressed the 85' setback and passive recreation amenities and stated that perhaps
property values cannot be easily compared with the Rosalena project, for a variety of
factors.
Mr. Muftoz added that the two units to the south could be blocked by emphasizing
evergreen landscaping and the Planning Commission should feel comfortable that the
landscaping would be satisfactory.
Chairman Welshons asked about the grade separation and Mr. Wojcik explained that the
closest corner to Mr. McGee's rear fence would be 12' away from the street with the
farthest corner being 21' for an average of 16 1/2' away from the street. He further stated
that at the closest corner to the street, the 12' distance, there was a 3.2' high retaining
wall so there should be no car lights coming into Mr. McGee's rear yard.
He addressed Mr. Baker's concern about the effect of the traffic on Navigator Circle as a
private street and indicated that the public had access to the street. He stated that the
private homeowner's association may have some control over limiting parking, etc., since
they maintained that street.
Regarding the passive recreation area, Mr. Wojcik mentioned that the closest corner of the
property to the street was 35' and there was approximately 8' of the high slope. He stated
that the street lighting, and landscaping issues were already addressed in the conditions of
the approval.
Mr. Wojcik added that overall from the east end as Mr. Avis indicated, the home grades
were higher than the proposed street until the west end where they were the same. He
said that the east end of the street has a 9' elevation difference and that the overall
grading of the Area B-2 was in conformance with the approved master tentative map. He
pointed out that what Mr. Baker had referred to pertained to the old Master Plan.
Mr. Wojcik also mentioned that the green belt was part of the old Master Plan.
Mr. Wayne asked what was being done for guest parking at the Rosalena project, and a
member of the audience responded that parking permits were given out. Mr. Wayne
expressed concern that required guest parking was not available at the Rosalena project.
Commissioner Monroy asked for clarification on the private street in the entrances that
Rosalena maintained and controlled coming to the main street. He added that this project
would be using part of the street but that maintenance was being done by the Rosalena
homeowners association.
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 12
Mr. Bob Wojcik, Principal Civil Engineer, stated that as part of the Master Plan, this would
be part of the Master Plan homeowners association and that this subdivision would be
assessed with the homeowners.
Chairman Welshons asked if there was a provision in the CC&Rs and wanted to know if it
was necessary.
Mr. Avis responded that they were not able to get the Rosalena's homeowner's
association to agree or not agree to be part of the master homeowner's association and
that it was a question that needed to be resolve. He added that they were given a
timeframe based on entitlement and that at this time, it was unknown as to whether they
will be part of the association.
Mr. Wojcik referred to Resolution No. 3759, page 9, condition #29 which referred to
private streets, sidewalks and street lights and said that maintenance shall be included
with the CC&Rs subject to the approval of the City Engineer prior to issuing a building
permit.
Commissioner Erwin asked about the difference of the elevation between Mr. McGee's
property and the roadway, and Mr. Wojcik responded that there was a 3.2' retaining wall
and slight slope, about 4' between the lower roadway and yard. In answer to
Commissioner Erwin's query about street lights, Mr. Wojcik responded that the street
lights were not plotted since it was a private community and referred to Resolution 3759,
page 8, # 4 which required an exterior lighting plan to be approved by the Planning
Director prior to final map approval, including all lighting to be designed to reflect
downward and avoid any impacts on adjacent homes and properties.
Commissioner Erwin expressed concern about parking and asked if it would abut the side
of the new road, and Mr. Wojcik responded that it was correct.
Mr. Wayne discussed condition #29, page 9, and pointed out that the Item being
discussed was not a subdivision.
»
Mr. Avis mentioned the existing historical agreement and said that if the decision was not
to come into the master homeowner association, then the developer pays the fair share of
maintenance for that section of the road.
Chairman Welshons asked the audience if there were any comments on the condition read
by Mr. Munoz, and Mr. McGee reiterated that if additional landscaping was to be done, it
should be brought to the people, not the homeowner's association.
Mr. Muftoz restated the condition again which was as follows:
"Prior to final map approval, a landscape plan shall be prepared which provides
additional screening through planting and/or garden walls up to 42" for the
southwest portion of Planning Area B-2 emphasizing mature evergreen landscaping
to the satisfaction of the Planning Director.
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 13
Mr. Mufioz also recommended including an obligation that the developer consults the
appropriate homeowners as opposed to the homeowners association as requested by Mr.
McGee.
Chairman Welshons asked Mr. Avis if the consultation with appropriate homeowners
would be agreeable to Mr. Avis so that a new condition would not have to be added, and
Mr. Avis responded that it was.
Commissioner Monroy indicated that he would like to get past the issue of the trails and
Mr. Mufioz suggested that the Commission approve B-2 tonight and that when Areas A-3
and A-4 came to the Commission, tentatively scheduled for May 3, 1995, they would at
least see some physical construction of the trail and be satisfied.
Mr. Rudolf added that page 8 of Resolution No. 3750, condition 17 in the middle of the
page followed by a dangling bold sentence would become condition # 18, the new
condition would become condition #19, existing condition #18 would become condition
#20, and the rest of the conditions would be renumbered accordingly.
There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic. Chairman
Welshons declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among
the Commission members.
ACTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Compas with the additional four
items from the errata sheet as well as an additional item #5:
1. Add a new finding to Resolution 3759 to read as follows:
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions
imposed on the developer contained in this resolution, and
hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to
mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the
project, and the extent and degree of the exaction is in rough
proportionality to the impacts caused by the project.
2. On page 5 of Resolution 3759, Approval Condition #1, the
reference to City Council's final action will be changed to
Planning Commission's final action since the City Council will
not review the B-2 project (less than 50 units), unless
appealed. Also "recommended approval" would be deleted
from #1 under Approval Condition #1 and the word
"approved" would be substituted.
3. On page 5 of the staff report, in the Planned Development
Ordinance Compliance table, the proposed number of guest
parking spaces will be changed from 7 to 16 guest parking
spaces to accurately reflect the provisions of guest parking
spaces.
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1995 Page 14
4. On page 6 of the staff report, underneath the Growth
management able, 0.7 units above the Growth Management
Control Point will be changed to 1.6 units above the Growth
Management Control Point to correctly reflect the units
proposed above the control point.
5. Page 8, Resolution No. 3750, condition 17 in the middle of the
page followed by a dangling bold sentence would become
condition #18, the new condition would become condition
#19, existing condition #18 would become condition #20, and
the rest of the conditions would be renumbered accordingly.
VOTE: 6-1
AYES: Chairman Welshons, Commissioners Compas, Noble,
Monroy, Savary, and Nielsen
