This item was continued from the Planning Commission meeting of April 8, 1981. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval of a tentative subdivision map and condominium permit to convert 40 existing apartment units to condominiums on 2.4 acres, located, as described above. The project site is a corner lot, deriving access from both Tamarack Avenue and Jefferson Street. The units are all 3 bedrooms, 1144 sq.ft. in size. A request for conversion was originally considered by the Planning Commission in December 1979. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the project on January 9, 1980, citing a lack of convenient and accessible storage. On March 4,, 1.9.8Q.., the City Council denied the subject request, without prejudice, due to the establishment of a moratorium on conversion of apartments to condominiums. A modified proposal for conversion was presented to the Planning Commission on April 8, 1981. Because of the project's lack of amenities and failure to meet design criteria and development standards of the Condominium Ordinance, the Planning Commission continued the item to allow the applicant time to redesign the project to meet the ordinance requirements. II. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Does the proposed conversion conform with the development standards of the Condominium Ordinance? 2) Does the proposed conversion conform with the design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance? III. DISCUSSION The applicant has revised the plans in an attempt to satisfy the Commission's concerns. As shown on Exhibit "A", dated April 20, 1981, more storage areas are proposed in the carports. Also, the fence surrounding the recreation area would be moved to increase the area to 9180 sq.ft. The applicant additionally proposes to repave the parking areas, relandscape, add additional recreation facilities and recondition the units. (Please see attached letter from E.F. Cook & Associates, dated April 21, 1981) . Staff's previous concerns were the lack of conformance with required development standards and design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance and the overall suitability of the project for conversion to condominiums. Staff feels that the revised proposal still does not comply with these standards, and viewed as an overall project, is not a good condominium development. As shown on Exhibit "A", approximately 128 cubic feet of storage/per unit is proposed in the new carports. Due to the size constraints of this area, (two feet deep), staff believes that some commonly stored items could not be accommodated by this space, (for example, bicycles). The remainder, and majority, of the storage space would be provided in the patio areas. These proposed storage areas would consist of a 4' - 9" projection from the building on the upper and lower levels. The second floor landing would be extended to provide access to the storage on this level. These projections, as proposed, would serve to block light and air to the units. The lower units would be particularly impacted by the storage areas and landing extension. These modifications would obstruct nearly all light to the lower patio area. To satisfy open recreation requirements, the applicant is proposing to move the existing fence to enlarge the area to satisfy minimum square footage requirements. Although this area is not presently suitable for recreational use, the applicant is proposing to add recreational facilities. No plans to this effect have been submitted, however, amenities suggested by the applicant include barbecue areas, basketball backboards and shuffle board courts. While these revisions may bring the project up the minimum square footage requirements of the development standards, staff does not feel that the project meets the intent of those standards which is to provide convenient, usable, and integrated open space and storage facilities. Further, staff does not feel that the project satisfies the design criteria pertinent to these and the overall amenities of ownership housing since the overall plan is not comprehensively designed embracing land, buildings, landscaping and their interrelationships. -2- o staff believes that the proposal before the Planning Commission consists of a compilation of minor remedies that attempt to correct the more significant deficiencies of the project. As such, the proposal is not comprehensively designed and not consistent with the design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance. Rather than a thoughtful comprehensive overall plan with well-integrated buildings & facilities, as directed by the Ordinance, the applicant is adopting a "band-aid approach" to rectify some but not all of the inadequacies of this project. Although the applicant has indicated that the project will be relandscaped and the units reconditioned, no plans showing how this will be accomplished have been submitted. overall, staff feels that this project does not conform with the Condominium Ordinance since the project does not provide the amenities required for ownership units, does not conform with the intent of the development standards and does not comply with the required design criteria for condominiums. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project is categorically EXEMPT from environmental review according to Section 19.04.070(8) of the Carlsbad Environmental Ordinance. V. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1791, recommending DENIAL of CT 81-2/CP-147 to the City Council based on the findings contained therein.

However, it is the intent of the owners of the above project to add amenities which are not required by said ordinance. These additional amenities will include, but not be limited to, repaving with asphalt both existing parking areas; investing approximately $20,000 in relandscaping; adding recreation facilities like barbecue areas, basketball backboards and shuffleboard courts; and each unit will be reconditioned to like new before sale. In addition, it is our understanding that the Coastal Commission will require that 1/3 of the 40 units will be required to be sold to low income families. This requirement will help the City Council resolve their problem with the loss of rental units in the Carlsbad area. The owners also wish to advise the Council that their project, with the low rents now received and with the last few years of inflation and high interest rates, is now running with a negative cash flow. Conversion is the only viable solution to their financial investment. Sincerely, E. F. COOK & ASSOCIATES, LTD. RI J'. Corrigan Project Engine cc: Mr. Thomas M.

He also requested the Commission direct Staff to establish some kind of a procedure to handle situations of this type ' in the future, and expressed the willingness to respond to ' any questions. „ Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 8:02 P.M. Following brief discussion, the Commission denied without prejudice V-321 and MS-515, and adopted the following Resolutions: RESOLUTION NO. 1774, DENYING THE CREATION OF ONE PANHANDLE LOT AS PART OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF VALLEY STREET IN THE R-1-7500 ZONE.

The Commission further directed Staff to research the problem and consider an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance if the investigation indicates that there are a significant number of lots faced with the same, or similar problem. ^- CT 77-5'(B) , PELICAN PROPERTIES. Request for an 8 lot tentative tract map located on the southeast corner of Walnut Avenue and Lincoln Street in the R-3 zone. As indicated earlier in the meeting, the applicant has requested a withdrawal on the item; hov;ever, Mike Holzmiller indicated the Commission would have to open the public hearing. Staff has no objection to the withdrawal. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:05 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. Since no one wished to speak on the matter, the public hearing was closed. The Commission accepted the withdrawal on CT 77-5 (B). RECESS Chairman Marcus called a recess at 8:08 P.M., and the Commission reconvened at 8:17 P.M., with all members present. CT 81-2/CP-147, NEVIN. Request for approval of a tentative subdivision map and condominium permit to convert 40 apartment units to condominiums on the north side of Tamarack Avenue, between Jefferson Street and Hibiscus Circle in the RD-M zone. Commissioners L'Heureux and Rombotis indicated they would abstain from the matter, as they were not satisifed with the disclosure that v.'as submitted to the Commission, and have no knowledge of who comprises the limited partnership. Following discussion with the Assistant City 7\ttornoy, and clarification by Douglas Jensen, Attorney for the appli- cant, that it is owned by Tamarack II, a Limited parntership.

He continued the staff report, essentially as contained in the Statement of the Matter. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:20 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized'Douglas Jensen, 530 "B" Street, Suite 1900, San Diego; Attorney representing the Tamarack II Limited Partnership. Mr. Jensen addressed the two concerns of Staff; storage and recreational areas. He then gave some background on the project. With the aid of a wall exhibit, he showed the units for proposed storage. Mr. Jensen continued the applicant is prepared to come back and revise the common storage areas into individual units, located next to each carport, in addition to the individual units located next to each unit. This would eliminate any free standing storage space, and the total cubic feet of each individual storage unit will then meet the ordinance requirement of 480 cubic feet. Along with the expansion of the recreational area, Mr. Jensen indicated he feels they will meet all the requirements of the ordinance. He then expressed willingness to respond to any questions. Staff reiterated to the Commission that the storage and recreational areas were not.the only concerns that Staff had with this proposal. The reason Staff revised the findings and brought same -back to the Commission, was to make the Commission aware that Staff's main concern related to the entire project as a v;hole. Staff does not feel it is well designed, or a good condominium project. If the storage and recreational areas were met, the design of the project still does not conform with the Condominium Ordinance, since the project does not provide the amentities required by the Ordinance, in order to convert the units from apartments to condominiums, and. offer them for home ownership. Commissioner Friestedt inquired what in the design does not , onform to the Ordinance, and requested Staff be more specific Bill Hofman responded that the findings, particularly Finding No. 3, outline the concerns of the Staff. He continued that the project was built as an apartment project, and in order to convert it to condominiums, there had to be additions such as storage increase and recreation, however, the way the apartments were designed, they can not facilitate a well integrated system. The Commission then recognized Cheri Sato, 1027 Malls, Carlsbad. Ms. Sato indicated she was a previous tenant in this apartment complex, and duo to the problems with storage, she requested the Commission deny the request; and spoke in opposition to the project. Mr. Jensen indicated that these units are 3 bedroom, very spacious living quarters; and they are planning to install individual water meters for each unit. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter. Chairman Marcus closed the public testimony at 8:42 P.M. MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION April 8, 1981 Page 6 COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Friestedt pointed out that at the time the project was built, the only guidelines for condominiums was the Apartment Ordinance, as there was no Condominium Ordinance at that time Bill Hofman indicated that there was no moratorium on condominiums at that time; therefore, the applicant did have the opportunity to build condominiums and subdivide at that time, and chose not to. Following brief discussion, the Commission continued this item to the meeting of May 27, 1981, to allow the applicant time to redesign the project in attempt to meet the Ordinance. 6, ZCA-133, CITY OF CARLSBAD. Amendment to the zoning ordinance to modify Section 21.44.160(6) of the parking requirements regarding the sideyard setback for uncoverec parking area. With the aid of the overhead projector showing the proposed change, the staff report was presented by Mike Holzmiller, essentia<lly as contained in the Statement of the Matter. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:57 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. Since no one wished to speak on the matter, the public hearing was closed. The Commission approved'the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and adopted the following Resolution, recommending approval of ZCA-133, based upon the findings contained therein: RESOLUTION NO. 1794, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A ZONE CHANGE AMELOMENT, AMENDING TITLE 21, CHAPTER 21.44, SECTION 21.44.160(6) BY REDUCING THE SIDEYARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT OF UNCOVERED PARKING AREAS. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Jim Hagaman reported on the Izbicki project .which was before the City Council on April 7, 1981. He referenced the letter to the Council from the Planning Commission, indicating concerns of how to deal with areas that did not fit the needs of findings required for a variance. The Council did approve the Izbicki project, and the variance with two parking spaces in the front yard, but did not allow any parking on the street Mr. Hagaman continued that Council indicated they were very pleased with the Planning Commission, in their concern with special circumstances such as this.

Condominium Permit to convert 40 apartment units to condominiums on the north side of Tamarack Avenue, between Jefferson Street and Hibiscus Circle in the RD-M zone. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting approval of a tentative subdivision map and condominium permit to convert 40 existing apartment units to condominiums on 2.4 acres, located, as described above. The project site is a corner lot, deriving access from both Tamarack Avenue and Jefferson Street, bedrooms, 1144 sq.ft. in size. The units are all 3 The apartment complex was constructed approximately three years ago under Specific Plan, SP-20 and SP-20(A). At that time, 34' of frontage along Tamarack Avenue was dedicated for future street widening. An application for conversion of this project was previously considered by the Planning Commission in December 1979- The Commission expressed concern regarding inadequate landscaping, location of parking, inadequate storage, insufficient refuse areas, lack of individual water meters, a need for recreation area for children and the noise impact from Tamarack Avenue. The public hearing was continued to allow the applicant time to resolve the problems noted. The Commission's primary concern pertained to st original design, submitted by the applicant, con underground storage facility to be constructed b carports in the parking lots. The applicant rev address the Commission's concerns. These modifi storage areas provided in a two-story building i area. The Planning Commission felt that this st would also be inappropriate as it would block li units and would be difficult to use. On January Planning Commission recommended denial of the pr lack of convenient and accessible storage. orage. The sisted of an eneath proposed ised the plans to cations included n the parking orage building ght and air to 9,1980, the oject based on The Planning Commission resolution was forwarded to the City Council for consideration on February 12, 1980. Accompanying the resolution was a letter from the applicant and revised plans. The applicant stated that he had again redesigned the plans to address the Planning Commission's concerns regarding storage. The revised storage arrangement presented is the same as that currently being proposed. In the letter, the applicant requested the Council to return the matter to the Planning Commission for consideration of the new proposal. At the time this conversion was originally proposed, the City Council was considering the establishment of a moratorium on conversion of apartments to condominiums to study the issue of diminishing rental stock. On March 4, 1981, the City Council adopted an urgency measure prohibiting the processing of conversions and denied, without prejudice, the subject request. The applicant is now reapplying for conversion of the apartment complex to condominiums. II. ANALYSIS 1 ) Does the proposed conversion conform with the development standards of the condominium ordinance? 2) Does the proposed conversion conform with the design criteria of the condominium ordinance? III. DISCUSSION The proposed condominium conversion satisfies some, but not all, of the development standards of the condominium ordinance. Resident and some guest parking would be provided, on-site, in two open parking areas. Carports are proposed to satisfy covered parking requirements. Three guest parking spaces would be located on Jefferson Street. Laundry facilities are included in each unit. Individual utility meters and enlarged refuse areas are proposed. Staffs' major concerns focused on the lack of compliance with two significant development standards; open recreation and storage areas. The open recreation consists of one common therapy and swimming pool. This area, on Exhibit "A", is shown as 8200 sq.ft. The pool area is presently fenced, and in reality includes only 7,000 sq.ft. The additional area, designated on the plan, includes a narrow strip of grass and concrete walkways outside the fence. Without this total area, the project cannot meet the minimum open/recreation requirements of 200 sq.ft. per unit. Staff feels that the area outside the fence does not constitute useable recreation space and, therefore, that the project does -2- not satisfy the open/recreation requirements of the condominium ordinance. Staff's second major concern pertains to storage. The applicant proposes storage, for each unit, divided in three areas. Two of the storage areas are shown on Exhibit "B", one existing and one proposed. The proposed storage area would consist of a 4' - 9" projection from the building on the upper and lower levels. The second floor landing would be extended to provide access to the storage on this level. These projections, as proposed, would serve to block light and air to the units. The lower units would be particularly impacted by the storage areas and landing extension. These modifications would obstruct nearly all light to the lower patio area and create an indefensible space. The existing storage area is quite small and could accommodate only limited storage. To supplement this storage, two free- standing storage buildings are proposed in the east parking lot. These buildings would provide open storage for items such as bicycles. The applicant proposes to "master-key" the buildings and provide bicycle racks inside. Staff feels that this would not provide safe storage and not meet the condominium ordinance requirement for storage space. The ordinance states, in part: "Separate storage space of at least four hundred eighty cubic feet in area shall be provided for each unit. This space shall be separately enclosed for each unit, meet building code requirements, and be conveniently accessible to the outdoors." Additionally, owners of the westernmost units would have to travel a distance in excess of 300' to utilize these buildings. Staff feels this storage arrangement does not satisfy the requirements for storage space. Lack of useable recreation and storage areas are not only significant deviations from the required development standards, but also conflict with the design criteria of the condominium ordinance. The design criteria include provision of adequate and well-integrated open recreational areas and other pertinent amenities. Due to these deficiencies, staff feels that the overall project was not comprehensively designed, and that the units are not suitable for conversion to condominiums. IV.

This time limit can only be extended by the mutual concurrance of the applicant and the City. By accepting applications for tentative maps concurrently with other applications; i.e., Environmental Assessment, Environ- mental Impact Report, Condominium Plan, Planned Unit Development, etc., the fifty (50) day time limit is often exceeded. If you wish to have your application processed concurrently, this agree- ment 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 fifty (50) days, therefore the undersigned agrees to extend the fifty (50) day processing limitation and fully concurs with any extensions of time up to one year from the date the application was accepted as complete, may be required to properly review all of the applications. 1 riria tiiTo' _ _ _ .

It is requested that an exemption from environmental action be granted for this conversion project. The project consists of an existing 40 units @ 662-670 Tamarack Avenue to be converted to 40 unit condominiums. The conversion will have no impact on the area since there will be no change in population, size or scope of the existing residence.

Hagaman, City Planning Director Gentlemen: Our district has reviewed the proposed conversion of apartments to con- dominiums generally located at the corner of Tamarack Avenue and Jefferson Street as referenced above and has evaluated the impact of that development on the facilities of our district. The Governing Board wishes to advise the City officials and the residents of Carlsbad that as residential units are added to the community, it is likely that many classes in the district will be crowded, resulting in possible impairment to the educational and transportational services offered to the students. It is also likely that school schedules may have to be changed, resulting in an increase in the year-round school program, or double sessions, or both. However, the district is able to assure you that school physical facilities will be available concurrent with need for this development as it is presently proposed. Very truly yours Robert A.
