PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Windsong Shores project will consist of 150 condominium units located within six buildings on a 10.15 acre site (Figure 2). None of the proposed buildings will exceed a height of 35 feet (Figure 3). All of the resident and -guest parking will be located in underground parking garages beneath the buildings. There will be three major recreation areas with swimming pools and spas. Access to the site will be through an existing project to the north constructed by the developer of the subject property. The subject property is zoned P-C, Planned Community and has a General Plan designation of RMH, Residential Medium High Density, 10-20 du/ac. The Agua Hedionda Specific Plan also designates this site for Residential Medium High Density, 10-20 du/ac. As proposed this project will have a density of 14.7 du/ac. II. PROJECT LOCATION The Windsong Shores project is located in the City of Carlsbad on the north shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon, between Interstate 5 and the AT & SF Railroad (Figure 1). A portion of the subject property consists of Agua Hedionda Lagoon and steep slopes leading down to it. These areas will be left as they are except for the possible construction of a pedestrian trail along the slope. All of the residential construction will be confined to the flat previously graded portion of the property adjacent to the existing development. III. PROBABLE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT A.
