The Planning Department has reviewed your development application no. ZC 98-09/LCPA 98-06 as to its completeness for processing. The application is complete, as submitted. Although the initial processing of your application may have already begun, the technical acceptance date is acknowledged by the date of this communication. The City may, in the course of processing the application, request that you clarify, amplify, correct, or otherwise, supplement the basic information required for the application. In addition, you should also be aware that various design issues may exist. These issues must be addressed before this application can be scheduled for a hearing. The Planning Department will begin processing your application as of the date of this communication. Please contact your staff planner, Elaine Blackburn, at (760) 438-l 161, extension 4471, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application. Sincerely, MICHAEL J. HOLZMILLER Planning Director MJH:EB:mh c: Gary Wayne Dennis Turner Jeff Gibson Mike Shirey Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide 2075 Las Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-I 576 - (760) 438-1161 l FAX (760) 438-0894 @ - No. ZC 98-09/LCPA 98-06 - Manzanita Apartments ISSUES OF CONCERN 1. 2. 3. 4. Planning: The project submittal identifies the project parcels as 215-020-l 2, 215-020-13, and 215-02 l-04. Parcel number 215-020-l 2 has been re-designated as parcel number 215- 020-22. In addition, it is unclear whether the portion of parcel 215-020-22 North of Cassia is a part of the project or not. The Site Development Plan drawing shows this area as within the project boundary. However, the 8X “xl 1 n drawing (for the zone change and local coastal program amendment) does not include that portion of parcel 22. Please correct and/or clarify this information. (Since this is relevant to the yield calculation, see also Item 4 below.) The 8% “xl 1 II drawing provided for the zone change/local coastal program amendment (identified as 500’ scale) is inconsistent with the Site Development Plan submitted with regard to the dimensions of the property by a considerable amount. The SDP identifies the East/West distance at the southern edge of the property as 1,348 feet, and the North/South distance at the Western edge as 1,641 feet. The 500-foot scale drawing scales to distances of 1875 feet and 2,275 feet, respectively. Since the two distances referenced on the SDP plan sheet are consistent with the assessors’ parcel map, we suggest you check and correct any inaccurate dimensions on the 500-foot scale drawing. When the City’s Habitat Management Plan (HMP) receives final approval, the City will likely initiate a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to change the designation of any portions of the subject site which are included in the HMP to Open Space. However, since the site currently has residential General Plan designations (RLM and RM) staff supports the requested rezoning to RD-M-Q at this time. The SDP plan sheet indicates that the project includes 47.6 total gross acres and yields a total of 165.7 dwelling units. Please demonstrate how this yield was determined. This should include an analysis of the gross and net developable acreages of all areas within the project boundary by General Plan category (RLM and RM). Since this analysis necessarily assumed a specific location for the General Plan RLM/RM boundary line, this line should be shown on your plans. (Note: The location of the General Plan boundary line should be consistent with its location as identified in the Zone 21 LFMP.) Staff suggests you provide a table like the one below. APN 2 15-020-22 215-020-l 3 GENERAL PLAN GROSS DEVELOPABLE ACRES NET ACRES UNIT YIELD RM RLM RM 215-021-04 RLM i 1. Is it your intent to split out the parcel on the East side of El Camino Real (e.g., a financial parcel map) ? If so, please note that the site will not be developable until a local facilities management plan for Zone 10 is approved and until any other required development permits are approved. (The Zone 10 LFMP is currently under review.) Also, please note that the amount of development allowed on the eastern parcel has not yet been finally determined. The pending Zone 10 LFMP assumes that the site will yield approximately 16 units. However, that number may change as constraints analysis is completed.
