B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commissior recommends APPROVAL of HDP 91-17, based on the following findings
and subject to the following conditions.
Findings:
1. Hillside conditions have been properly identified on the Constraints Map for thc
project. Proposed grading of Wo and greater slopes is in conformance with tht
exclusions allowed by Section 21.95.090 of the Hillside Development Regulations.
2. Undevelopable areas of the project have been propeily identified on tht
Constraints Map for the project as well as in EIR 91-04 for the Rancho Carrill(
Master Plan Amendment.
3. The development proposal and all applicable development approvals and permit
are consistent with the purpose, intent, and requirements of the Hillsid1
Development Regulations since the EIR identifies that the hillside alteration wil
not result in substantial damage or alteration of significant natural resource areas
wildlife habitats, or native vegetation areas.
4. No development or grading will occur in those portions of the property which an
undevelopable pursuant to the provisions of Section 21.53.230.
5. The project design and lot configuration minimises disturbance to hillside lands tc
the greatest extent feasible given the impact of three Circulation Element roadway
traversing the natural topography of the site.
6. The project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrata
in the hillside development guidelines manual in that contour grading, thi
screening of graded slopes by landscaping, buildings, and ~t~ral topographi
features is proposed, view preservation and enhancement is identified, anc
roadway design is not defined by wide straight alignments with the exception o
the Circulation Element roadways.
7. EIR 91-04 was prepared for this project and has been recommended fo
certification by the Planning Commission EIR 91-04 identified a number a
potentially significant impacts created by this project and possible mitigati01
measures to reduce these impacts to a level of insignificance. These mitigati01
measures have been incorporated into the project through redesign or condition
of approval.
8. The site has unusual geotechnical or soil conditions that necessitate correctiv
work that may require significant amounts of grading as indicated by a review c
the Geology/Soils section of the EIR.

9. The site requires extensive grading to accommodate circulation element roadway
Of the 6,950,700 cubic yards of cut, 3,148,400 cubic yards directly relate to th
circulation element roadways.
10. The proposed modification will result in significantly more open space c
undisturbed area than would a strict adherence to the requirements of 21.90.06(
while the intent is to minimize the amount of modification to hillside propertie
the measurement of relative sensitivity is accomplished by the grading volum
divided by the total area graded. This encourages grading of larger areas to low€
the overall grading volume per acre. Limiting slopes to thirty feet in height resdi
in greater horizontal areas required to cover the same vertical distances. B
allowing slopes over 30 feet the Master Plan provides more adequate buffers fro1
sensitive areas identified within the EIR as well as limits the physical extent of th
development.
11. Analysis of multiple alternatives for circulation element roadway alignmen1
indicates that due to both environmental and topographical constraints there is n
feasible alternative consistent with the Hillside Development regulations.
Conditions:
1. All conditions of EIR 91-04, MP 139(E), and GPA 91-06, as contained in Plannin
Commission Resolutions Nos. 3503,3504, and 3505, respectively, are incorporate

incorporated by reference and on file in the Planning Department. Developmer
shall occur substantially as shown unless otherwise noted in these conditions.

approval of GPA 91-06 and MP 139(E).

institution subject to regulation by the state or federal government, a certificat
of deposit or letter of credit made out to the City of Carlsbad or such othc
