SUBJECT: HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT - 89-18
CAZADERO MEADOWS APN: 215-400-02
The City has completed a review of the application for a Hillside Development Permit to
allow grading for the construction of a single family dwelling unit on Lot 743 of La Costa
Meadows Unit No. 4 in the City of Carlsbad.
It is the Planning Director's determination that the project is consistent with the City's
Hillside Development Ordinance Chapter 21.95 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and,
therefore, APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. Hillside conditions have been properly identified on the constraints map which shows
existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages.
2. Undevelopable areas of the project, i.e., slopes over 40%, have been properly
identified on the constraints map.
3. All development is designed to minimize grading and the placement of the house
will reduce impacts on slopes over 25%.
4. No development will occur in the undevelopable portions of the site.
5. Grading design minimizes disturbance of hillside areas.

6. The project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrated
in the Hillside Guidelines Manual as follows:
a) Grading volumes per acre are within acceptable limits.
b) The slopes are contoured and where walls are necessary , crib walls that can
be planted are used predominately and do not exceed a height of six feet.
c) The site is not highly visible as it is below the street elevation and is within
an infill area.
d) Walls were necessary in the northern area of the site due to an existing sewer
easement which further constraints the site. Crib walls not to exceed a height
of six feet will be utilized.
e) Landscaping at the downslope area of the site has been required to further
screen crib walls from view.
f) The proposed building mass is not of concern due to the close proximity of
the site to a duplex neighborhood.
Conditions:
1. Approval is granted for HDP 89-18, as shown on Exhibits "A"-"H", dated December
19, 1989, incorporated by reference and on file in the Planning Department.
Development shall occur substantially as shown unless otherwise noted in these
conditions. Any proposed grading and/or development substantially different from
this approval as determined by the Planning Director, shall require an amendment
to this Hillside Development Permit.
2. The applicant shall prepare a detailed landscape and irrigation plan which shall be
submitted to and approved by the Planning Director prior to the issuance of grading
or building permits, whichever occurs first. The landscape plan shall include:
a) Slope planting in accordance with the City of Carlsbad Landscape Guidelines
Manual.
b) Planting of all crib walls.
c) Screening of the crib wall from down slope properties by low branching trees
or shrubs such as the following:
