I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and. ADOPT Resolution Nos. 2132, 2133 and 2134, recommending approval of MP-107(A)/SP-161(A)/CT 82-24/PUD-49, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting the deletion of a portion of an existing Master Plan, MP-107 and the approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Unit Development for 288 units on 35.4 acres, located as described above. The City of Carlsbad is initiating the deletion of an existing Specific Plan, SP-161, and the deletion of the remainder of MP-107, affecting approximately 34 acres contiguous to the east of the project site. In May 1973 the City Council approved MP-107 establishing a density of 7 du/ac for the 79.4 total acreage. Subsequent to this action the City Council, in November 1974, approved Specific Plan, SP-161 and Carlsbad Tract, CT 74-17, for condominium development on the 35.4 acre subject parcel. The project site is roughly triangular in shape with Paseo Del Norte on the southern boundary, a drainage course on the eastern boundary and another drainage, Canyon De Las Encinas along the northern boundary. The property is characterized by a large plateau area, elevated above Paseo Del Norte, and steep slopes and riparian areas corresponding to the drainages^ Access to the site would be derived- from two driveways off Paseo Del Norte. III. ANALYSIS Discussion --MP-107(A) The existing Master Plan covers approximately 79.4 acres, as shown on Exhibit "X". The Master Plan established a density of 7 du/ac for the properties. The plan provided no development guidelines and no conditions of approval were applied. The Master Plan stated only that, "proper P-C development, at this density, would be the most logical way for this property to develop with residential uses". The P-C zone provides that properties of less than one hundered acres shall be developed by means of a planned development permit. Staff believes that the existing master plan is outdated and that utilizing the Planned Development Ordinance would be the most logical way to develop residential uses. Staff believes that the PD Ordinance would provide for suitable development standards while allowing maximum design flexibility. The applicant has requested that that portion of the master plan, affecting the 35.4 acres be deleted. Staff recommends that the entire Master Plan be deleted and that development occur pursuant to the Planned Development Ordinance. Discussion - SP-161(A) Specific Plan, SP-161, was adopted by the City Council in November 1974, to accompany Tentative Subdivision Map, CT 74-17, for the 35.4 project site, as shown on Exhibit "X". The Tentative Map has since expired and staff believes that the existing Specific Plan is no longer pertinent. Staff recommends that the Specific Plan be deleted and that development occur pursuant to the Planned Development Ordinance. Staff believes that the use of the Planned Development Permit process will provide suitable development standards and adequate review opportunities. ANALYSIS - CT 82-24/PUD-49 Planning Issue 1) Does the proposed project satisfy all design criteria and development standards of the Planned Development Ordinance? Discussion Staff believes that the proposed project would satisfy all basic development standards and design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance. The applicant is proposing 288 units, constructed in three different product types. The applicant -2- proposes 152 units developed in fourplexes and 58 units developed in eightplexes. The final product type is a U-shaped structure accomodating 10 to 14 townhouse units; 78 units would be developed utilizing this product type. The project would result in an overall density of 8 du/ac. A total of 653 parking spaces would be provided, 330 covered and 323 open. Each unit of the fourplexes is designed with a one-car garage. The second assigned space would be uncovered. Each eightplex would have six one car garages. The balance of required parking would be made up in carports and open parking. The townhouse units of the U-shaped buildings are designed with a combination of one and two car garages. The remaining spaces would be open. Guest parking would be provided in close proximity to each group of units. Storage requirements would be satisfied within individual garages or separate enclosures accessible to the outdoors. Storage areas range in size from 392 to 1050 cubic feet. Recreation area requirements are exceeded in a combination of private and common areas. Each unit in the project would have a private deck ranging in size from 76 to 240 sq. ft. Three common recreation areas would be provided. One area would contain two tennis courts; the other two would each include a pool, spa and cabana. Total recreation area provided would approximate 102,000 sq. ft. for an overall ratio of 350 sq. ft. per unit. Finally, staff believes that the proposed project would satisfy all design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance. The project appears well-designed. Buildings have been cited to maximize views and create open areas. Careful consideration has been given in site planning to leave sensitive biological slope areas largely undisturbed. Recreation areas are conveniently located and linked to pedestrian walkways. Overall, staff believes that the proposed project satisfies all development standards and design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager determined that this project will not cause a significant impact on the environment and therefore has issued a Negative Declaration on May 20, 1983.
