AGENDA OF: August 19, 2009 Application complete date: May 19, 2009 Project Planner: Greg Fisher Project Engineer: Steven Bobbett SUBJECT: CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS - Request for approval of a Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit, and Hillside Development Permit to allow for the development of an eight unit multi-family residential air-space condominium project on a .75-acre infill site generally located on the north side of La Costa Avenue between Gibraltar Street and Romeria Street, in Local Facilities Management Zone 6. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6569, 6570 and 6571 APPROVING a Tentative Tract Map (CT 08-01), Planned Development Permit (PUD 08- 01), and Hillside Development Permit (HDP 08-01), based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION The proposal includes the subdivision and development of an eight unit multi-family residential air-space condominium project on a .75-acre site. The proposed project consists of a two-story structure with private driveway and underground parking for 16 cars. The 0.75 acre project site is significantly constrained by an existing 1 1/2:1 gradient slope located within the rear portion of the property. The steep slope is undevelopable and requires a top of slope building setback further reducing the site's buildable area. The project was reviewed for consistency with the General Plan, applicable condominium development standards, neighborhood compatibility, and architectural design. The project is one of the first to be reviewed under the City's amended Planned Development (PD) Ordinance (originally approved by the City Council in February, 2007 and subsequently by the California Coastal Commission in January, 2009). The PD Ordinance was amended to better enable the development of high quality residential projects that achieve the minimum and Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) densities of the General Plan Land Use designations. There are no significant issues outstanding and staff is recommending approval. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Proposed Residential Construction: The applicant is requesting approval for the subdivision and construction of eight two-story residential air-space condominiums with a subterranean parking garage on a .75-acre site. The underground parking garage will have a single 24 foot wide access drive off of La Costa Avenue. Within the underground parking garage, each unit will have an individual 2-car garage area with private storage space and direct access to each of the units. The underground parking garage will also include an elevator, common trash enclosure o CT 08-01 /PUD 08-01 /HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19, 2009 and supplemental storage areas. Each unit will also have an entry way along the front of the building. The three required visitor parking spaces will be provided offsite as parallel parking along La Costa Avenue. A decorative walkway, providing direct access from the street to the front of the building, is provided. The proposed units range between 2,055 square feet and 2,276 square feet in size. A modern, contemporary style of architectural design is proposed and features varied building modules and roof planes. Building facades include horizontal hardwood siding, and split-faced masonry block accented by brushed aluminum railings and deck fascia. The modular building includes a variety of roof planes and off-set building projections. Each unit will have a north-facing rear deck ranging in size from 269 to 296 square feet and circular staircases providing exterior access. Rear (north) elevations also feature wide expanses of glass to maximize golf course views. Building height is proposed to be 35 feet along the northern top of slope and 33 feet along the southern elevation near La Costa Avenue. Although not required, a large, passive recreation area of 3,422 square feet is proposed at the front of the building. This area will consist of a grassy area (artificial turf), common patio with barbeque, and seat walls providing opportunities for common recreation activities. The project includes extensive landscaping with large box trees and a variety of plant materials. Landscaping will be provided along La Costa Avenue to enhance the visual appearance of the units and to create a sense of privacy for the residents. Project Site/Setting: The rectangular shaped 0.75-acre site consists of two lots and is located on the north side of La Costa Avenue between Gibraltar Street and Romeria Street. The project site abuts existing multi-family residential to the north and west, open space to the south, and two vacant high density residential lots immediately to the east. The applicant/developer, Legacy Development owns these adjacent vacant lots and is proposing to develop a similar eight unit condominium project on them (CT 08-02/PUD 08-02/HDP 08-02). Many of the surrounding residential projects within the neighborhood were built at a higher density, approximately 30 units per acre, under the jurisdiction of the County of San Diego. The proposed project will take access off of La Costa Avenue. Topographically, the project site consists of two generally level pads that are vertically separated by a six foot tall intervening slope. A steep 25 foot tall downhill slope is located on the rear one third of the property. The narrow, constrained site was previously graded in 1979 into two, stepped building pads that were never developed and remain vacant. Earlier grading included steep, 1 1/2:1 slopes along the northern property line. The two pads are predominantly vegetated with broad-leaf non-native annuals while the northern slope has some native vegetation (coastal sage scrub). The proposed pad areas are primarily underlain by undocumented fill soils up to 15 feet below existing grade that consist of soft sandy clay which exhibits a moderate expansion potential. Per the recommendations of the soils report prepared for the project by East County Soil Consultation and Engineering, Inc., the site is to be re-graded and caissons are proposed to address the undocumented fill soil issues. Required Permits: A Tentative Tract Map (CT), Planned Development Permit (PUD) and Hillside Development Permit (HDP) are required for the proposed project. A Tentative Tract Map is required for the subdivision of the property into airspace condominium ownership units and a Planned Development Permit is required to allow an air-space condominium subdivision. A Hillside Development Permit is required as the project site contains slopes equal to or exceeding 15 percent gradient and slope elevation differences greater than 15 feet. The infill CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19, 2009 Page 3 project is surrounded by multi-family developments and qualifies as a CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) Class 32 Categorical Exemption. IV. ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following regulations: A. Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation; B. Residential Multiple-Density (RD-M) Zone (Chapter 21.24 of the Zoning Ordinance), and Planned Development Ordinance (Chapter 21.45 of the Zoning Ordinance); C. City Council Policy No. 66 (Principals for the Development of Livable Neighborhoods); D. Hillside Development Regulations and Guidelines (Chapter 21.95 of the Zoning Ordinance); E. Subdivision Ordinance (Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code); F. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Chapter 21.85 of the Zoning Ordinance); and G. Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance) and • Zone 6 Local Facilities Management Plan. The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations is discussed in detail in the sections below. A. General Plan Residential High Density (RH) Land Use Designation The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is Residential High (RH) density. The RH Land Use designation allows for the development of two-family and multiple-family residential units within a density range of 15 - 23 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and at a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 19 du/ac. At the RH GMCP, 8.93 dwelling units (9 units when rounded up) would be permitted on this 0.47 net developable acre property. The proposed 8-unit project has a density of 17.02 du/ac, which is within the RH density range of 15 - 23 du/ac, but is 0.93 dwelling units below the GMCP of 19 du/ac. The GMCP is used for the purpose of calculating the City's compliance with Government Code Section 65863 (Discussed below). However, consistent with Program 3.8 of the City's certified Housing Element, all of the dwelling units, which were anticipated toward achieving the City's share of the regional housing needs that are not utilized by developers in approved projects, will be deposited in the City's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. This project will deposit 0.93 dwelling units into the Dwelling Unit Bank and these excess dwelling units are then available for allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity, including second dwelling units, adequate to satisfy the City's share of the regional housing need. The project complies with the Elements of the General Plan as outlined in Table A below: CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19, 2009 Page 4 TABLE A - GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM PROPOSED USES & IMPROVEMENTS COMPLIANCE Land Use Site is designated for Residential High density, (RH- 15-23 du/ac) with a GMCP of 19 du/ac. 8.93 dwellings units could be constructed on the site at the GMCP (.47 acres x 19 du/ac). Residential project density at 17.02 dwelling units per acre (8 DUs) is within the RH density range of 15 - 23 du/ac. .93 dwelling units will be deposited into the City's excess dwelling unit bank.

However, the project has been conditioned to implement the recommendations of a supplemental acoustical analysis to comply with the 45 dB(A) CNEL interior noise standard. All public facilities including curb, gutter and sidewalk have been constructed along the property frontage. COMPLIANCE Yes Yes B. Residential Multiple-Density Zone (RD-M) (Chapter 21.24 of the Zoning Ordinance) and Planned Development Ordinance (PD) (Chapter 21.45 of the Zoning Ordinance). The project is required to comply with all applicable use and development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) including the Residential Density-Multiple zone (CMC Chapter 21.24) and the Planned Development Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.45). The RD-M zone allows for the development of multi-family residential housing and the Planned Development Ordinance allows for the development of a condominium use in the RD-M zone. The PD Ordinance provides the development standards for an eight-unit residential airspace condominium (planned development) project. The proposed two story structure with basement level garage parking, and a building height of 35 feet, is compatible with the surrounding existing and proposed multi-family condominium projects. The eight-unit residential air space condominium project meets or exceeds the applicable requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance (21.45) as outlined in Table B below: CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19,2009 Page 6 TABLE B - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE REF.

City Council Policy No. 66 (Livable Neighborhoods) The proposed project complies with the applicable guidelines of City Council Policy No. 66, Livable Neighborhoods as shown in Table C below. CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19, 2009 Page 10 TABLE C - CITY COUNCIL POLICY 66 - LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS Principle Compliance Comments Building Facades, Front Entries, Porches Facades create interest and character and should be varied and articulated to provide visual interest to pedestrians. Clearly identifiable front doors and porches enhance the street scene and create opportunities for greater social interaction within the neighborhood. Building entries and windows should face the street. Front porches, bay windows, courtyards and balconies are encouraged. The project proposes a building fa9ade with interest and character by using a variety of roof heights and off-set building projections, and building materials such as horizontal hardwood siding, split- face masonry block accented by brushed aluminum railings and deck fascia. The project provides clearly identifiable front entry ways and windows from La Costa Avenue, as well as porches and balconies designed with decorative guardrails. Garages Homes should be designed to feature the residence as the prominent part of the structure in relation to the street. A variety of garage configurations should be used to improve the street scene. This may include tandem garages, side-loaded garages, front-loaded garages, alley-loaded garages and recessed garages. The project has been designed to feature the residence as the prominent part of the structure in relation to the street to the extent possible. The street scene is enhanced due to the absence of garage doors as parking has been provided within an underground parking structure not visible from La Costa Avenue. CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 August 19,2009 Pagell LA COSTA VIEWS TABLE C - CITY COUNCIL POLICY 66 - LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS CONTINUED Principle Compliance Comments Street Design An interconnected, modified (grid) street pattern should be incorporated into project designs when there are no topographic or environmental constraints. Interconnected streets provide pedestrians and automobiles many alternative routes to follow, disperse traffic and reduce the volume of cars on any one street in the neighborhood. Streets should be designed to provide both vehicular and pedestrian connectivity by minimizing the use of cul-de-sacs. The street network should also be designed to create a safer, more comfortable pedestrian and bicycling environment. Local residential streets should have travel and parking lanes, be sufficiently narrow to slow traffic, provide adequate access for emergency and service vehicles and emergency evacuation routes for residents and include parkways with trees to form a pleasing canopy over the street. Local residential streets are the public open space in which children often play and around which neighborhoods interact. Within this context, vehicular movement should be additionally influenced through the use of City-accepted designs for traffic calming measures. La Costa Avenue is a publicly dedicated roadway and no additional improvements or dedication of streets is required. This project does not include any new streets. Parkways Street trees should be planted in the parkways along all streets. Tree species should be selected to create a unified image for the street, provide an effective canopy, avoid sidewalk damage and minimize water consumption. La Costa Avenue is a publicly dedicated roadway and no additional improvements including parkways with landscaping is required. A minimum of 50% of the required front yard setback from La Costa Avenue is richly landscaped. CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19, 2009 Page 12 TABLE C - CITY COUNCIL POLICY 66 - LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS CONTINUED Principle Compliance Comments Pedestrian Walkways Pedestrian walkways should be located along or visible from all streets. Walkways (sidewalks or trails) should provide clear, comfortable and direct access to neighborhood schools, parks/plazas and transit stops. Primary pedestrian routes should be bordered by residential fronts, parks or plazas. Where street connections are not feasible (at the end of cul-de-sacs), pedestrian paths should also be provided. A pedestrian walkway with direct access to the . units has been provided along and visible from La Costa Avenue. Centralized Community Recreation Areas Park or plazas, which serve as neighborhood meeting places and as recreational activity centers should be incorporated into all planned unit developments. As frequently as possible, these parks/plazas should be designed for both active and passive uses for residents of all ages and should be centrally located within the project. Parks and plazas should be not be sited on residual parcels, used as buffers from surrounding developments or to separate buildings from streets. Although the project consists of only eight units and is not required to provide community recreation areas, a large, passive recreation area of 3,422 square feet is proposed at the front of the building. This area will consist of a grassy area (artificial turf), common patio with barbeque, and seat walls providing opportunities for common recreation activities. D. Hillside Development Regulation and Guidelines The project is subject to the Hillside Development Regulations because the site contains slopes of 15% gradient and slope elevation differences greater than 15 feet. The project meets all the requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations and Guidelines. Hillside conditions of the project have been properly identified on the constraints map, which show existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages. The development complies with the Hillside Ordinance and the Hillside Guidelines as discussed below: a) the proposed project is consistent with the Land Use and Open Space/Conservation Elements of the General Plan since the site has been previously graded, there exist no natural hillsides, and although the existing north facing slope is vegetated with coastal sage scrub, the project site has low value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; b) the project proposes grading quantities (parking basement excluded) at an "acceptable" quantity of 4,061 cubic yards per acre, will incorporate an aesthetically pleasing design with rich landscaping, a maximum six foot tall retaining wall along the western property line, and the new eight-unit condominium project will be compatible with the existing neighborhood; c) the project is consistent with the Hilltop Architecture and the Slope Edge Building Setback in that all of the units, including the balconies, are set back from the top of slope so that the building does not intrude into a 7:1 ratio view line (.7 foot horizontal to one foot vertical imaginary diagonal plane CT 08-01/PUD 08-01/HDP 08-01 - LA COSTA VIEWS August 19, 2009 Page 13 that is measured from the slope to the building); d) the existing north facing hillside is manufactured and accordingly, there will be no impacts to natural slope or resource areas, wildlife habitats or native vegetation areas that have not already been analyzed, anticipated and authorized by the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP); and e) there will be no impact on lagoons or riparian ecosystems in that the project has been conditioned to submit an erosion control plan consistent with the NPDES permit requirements as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the City of Carlsbad. E. Subdivision Map Act The project includes eight (8) residential airspace condominium units and is therefore subject to the regulations of Chapter 20.16 of the Subdivision Ordinance. These subdivision regulations require the project to include required street dedications and improvements (streets, sewer, water, and drainage) to serve the proposed subdivision. The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed tentative map and has concluded that the subdivision, as conditioned, complies with all the applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the City's Subdivision Ordinance. La Costa Avenue is a publicly dedicated roadway and no additional improvements or dedication of streets is required. All infrastructure improvements, including street frontage, drainage, sewer, and water facilities exist. General utility and access easements will be dedicated to allow for the construction of project drainage, sewer, and water facilities of the final map. No standards variances are needed to approve the project. Given the above, the proposed subdivision would provide all necessary facilities and improvements without producing land conflicts; therefore, the project is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance. F. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance The proposed project involves the creation of eight residential units through a subdivision and, therefore, must provide affordable housing to lower-income households as specified in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Chapter 21.85 of the Zoning Ordinance). For residential development of seven or more units, not less than fifteen percent of the total units approved shall be constructed and restricted both as to occupancy and affordability to lower-income households. Whenever reasonably possible, inclusionary units should be built on the residential development project site. However, based on the project's small size and distance away from employment opportunities, urban services, and transportation facilities, the Housing Policy Team has recommended the purchase of one housing credit within the Villa Loma Affordable Housing development to satisfy their inclusionary housing obligations. Therefore, the applicant has been conditioned to satisfy the inclusionary housing requirement for lower-income households by entering into an Affordable Housing Agreement to purchase one (1) credit of affordable housing in the Villa Loma project, subject to City Council approval. By entering into the agreement prior to final map the La Costa Views residential condominium development is providing its fair share of housing affordable to lower income households and, therefore, is consistent with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
