DIV. . 0 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. ~-//- goo Date Applicant Name (Print) Relationship to Application (Property Owner-Agent) FORM: PLANNING 37. REVISED 3/80 at . \30 (k( •\ \ February 29, 1988 Planning Department City of Carlsbad 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad California 92009-4859 RE: Vista De La Valle *Reasons to support new density reduction *Tract Map No.. 84-33/PUD Development Corporation revised site plan and 74 (Final map recorded) Dear Sirs, Pursuant to your request, the following is proid to support our submission of a new site plan for the above-mentioned recorded map. The new submission seeks to substitute 35 single-family patio homes along the same street design as currently approved for the 75 attached apartment/condominium units in eight (8) cluster buildings. In the process of reviewing the acquisition of the approved 75 unit project from First Darthron Associates, our extensive marketing studies have indicated two important conclusions. First, the subject site has wonderful view and locational amenities which may be better utilized under our revised program. Second, in the time that has passed since the initial submission of the 75 unit project by First Darthron Associates, a number of significant market conditions have developed in the marketplace which now strongly support the proposed revision to the site development. The proposed revision to the site developmnt, if approved, would reduce the approved density by more than fifty percent (507.), and change the product design from bulky two-story cluster apartment/condominium buildings to high scale, spacious, view oriented two-story single family patio homes with extensive common and private area landscaping. The proposed lower density is below that which is pertitted, and this reduction we believe is supportable and appropriate 1 for the reasons stated below. These reasons encompass two . primary categories: site development conditions and economics. - - - 1. Our marketing studies indicate that the proposed 1 single-family, patio home style project would now be a more compatable transition from the higher density apartments below and adjacent to the site to the more rural single-family and zero-lot line patio homes to the west and above. We believe that this should result in a better quality product which has a stronger chance to succeed in this changing market. At this time, and in consideration of this particular market in Carlsbad, we also believe that the revised site development will simply provide a more desireable neighborhood for your community. We also believe that the revised project is more consistent with the surrounding vicinity as it is now developing, and would be more similar to the type of products, planned for the neighboring areas. The homes as proposed will permit the site to take on a more exclusive, well landscaped "single-family enviornment" which we believe to be superior to cluster rental or condominium housing at this site. This revised development will create greater permanance among the residents, a stronger economic base to the city, less overall transient problems associated with apartment areas, and a pride of ownership which will help maintainS.. the aesthetic value and appearance of an important area directly adjacent to the "Hosp forest." 2. In this same context, our marketing studies also indicate that there exists now and will continue to exist for some time, an overbuilt apartment market as evidenced by the current vacancy rate in the north county. Even the projects below and adjacent to our site are now experiencing less than projected rental rates and somewhat higher vacancy figures due in part to additional units having come into the market in north county. We believe that in comparison to existing and up-coming rental /condominium projects for neighboring areas, the approved building designs, unit sizes and amenities are not going to be as competitive. Consequently, given this site's high land cost, the particular building and unit design, current development fees, and the very extensive grading and construction costs required, the competitive rental market and vacancy factors have created a 'situation where we feel that the construction of 75 apartment or condominium units is not economically feasible. 3. It is our determination that, given this site's topography, our desire to leave the street and offsi tes essentially as designed, our desire to increase view advantages and establish a better overall visibility from the freeway and areas below the site, and our desire to build what we believe will be a superior product to maximize the amenities of this terrific site, we have proposed what will be a upper-medium priced, large, well designed single-family patio home project which by design reduces the density from 75 to 35 LIflitS In the 'final analysis, at a time when more and more communities are focusing on increased quality and lower density, it is our hope that the conversion of the approved land, use from multi--Family apartment or condominium units to single-family patio homes with associated amenities would be well received by the City.. We would also hope that the density reduction associated with this proposed revision would receive enthusiastic community support as well.. It is our goal to create a better quality residential community which can truly take advantage of one of the best remaining locations in in zone (1) and at the same time provide the developer an economically competitive product to integrate into a changing residential market.
