CASE NAME: CALAVERA HEIGHTS CASE NO: MP 150 (GI WHEREAS, a verified application for certain property, to wit: Portions of Lots D, E, and J of the Rancho Agua Hedionda in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to the map thereof no. 823 on file at the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County. has been filed with the City of Carlsbad, and referred to the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, said application constitutes a request as provided by Title 21 0: the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on the 16th day of June, 1993, holc a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimon! and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered al factors relating to MP 150(G); and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commissio~ as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commissio~ recommends APPROVAL of MP 150(G), according to Exhibit "X", dated Junl 16, 1993, based on the following findings and subject to the followin; conditions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 0 FindiIlES: 0 1. AU necessary public improvements to implement Master Plan Amendment 150(G) have been provided or are required as conditions of approval. 2. The master plan will serve as the zoning ordinance for the property. Where the plan varies from ercisting city regulations, specific policy statements are presented to clarify the intent and purpose of the proposed regulation. 3. The master plan is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan and an4 applicable specific plans, because the Calavera Hills Master Plan would be amended to change the permitted land use in Village *'H" from multi-family residential tc single-family residential. The General Plan Land Use designation for the village E Residential Low (E) which allows a density of 0-1.5 dus/acre. In addition, 2 majority of Vige "H" contains steep slopes, therefore, changing the land use tc single-family residential in Viage '9"' would be more compatible with the slop constraints, and more consistent with the low density General Plan Land Ust designation of RL. The Master Plan Amendment would also permit single-familj residential land use in Village '2-2", in addition to the currently permitted multi. family land use. The General Plan Land Use designation for Viage "L-2" E Residential Medium (RM) which allows a residential density of 4-8 dus/acre. Tht General Plan states that the RM designation will provide for medium densiq residential areas characterized by small lot single-family homes or townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, and low density apartment developments, therefore, allowiq a single-family land use in Viage '2-2" would be consistent with the General Plan 4. All necessary public facilities can be provided concurrent with need and adequatt provisions have been provided to implement those portions of the capita improvements program applicable to the subject propexty, because the master pla has language in the text stating that all future development shall comply with tht public facility performance standards and phasing requirements of the Loca Facilities Management Plan Zone 7 (LFMP]. Public facilities are required to bl constructed as subsequent development in the master plan creates demand fa additional facilities, therefore, a shortfall or negative impact to public facilitie would not result. A financing plan for LFMP Zone 7, approved by the City Council provides the mechanisms for the financing of the required public facilities. 5. The residential and open space portions of the community will constitute a environment of sustained desirability and stability, and that it will be in harmoq with or provide compatible variety to the character of the surrounding areas, an( that the sites proposed for public facilities, such as schools, playgrounds and parks are adequate to serve the anticipated population and appear acceptable to the publil authorities having jurisdiction thereof, because the open space plan provide approximately 340 acres of open space within the master plan which is categoriza into open space for the protection of biological habitat, steep slopes and othe environmentally constrained areas, for recreation, and for visual aesthetics. Thl open space areas provide corridors for the migration of wildlife and buffers tha separate the developed planning areas and adjacent properties. In addition, trail would be provided for use by bikers and bicyclists within some of the open spa0 areas.

Hope Ezementary School has been constructed in Village W' and land has been reserved for another school site in Village "S', therefore, educational facility planning is being provided for in the master plan This Master Plan Amendment would not affect any of these existing or planned public and institutional facilities. 6. The proposed commercial and industrial uses will be appropriate in area, locatior and overall design to the purpose intended. The design and development standad are such as to create an environment of sustained desirability and stability. Suck development will meet performance standards established by this title, becaw Village '8-1" has been designated as a fiture 11 acre community commercial sit€ within the master plan. The site would be adequate in size to serve the commercia needs of the master plan residents. This Master Plan Amendment would not affecr this existing designate commercial site. Before the site is developed wid commercial land uses a Site Development Plan (SDP) must be approved by thf Planning Commission This SDP would ensure that the commercial land use i! compatible with and an asset to the surrounding neighborhood, and that al necessary public improvements are provided, including dedicated public n&td way, sidewalks, etc. 7. In the case of institutional, recreational, and other similar nonresidential uses, sud development will be proposed, and surrounding areas are protected from an] adverse effects from the development, because the Calavera Hills Community Par1 and Hope Elementary school have already been constructed, and the Vi "S' school site has been reserved for future development. Village "S" is adjacent to 2 recorded Final Subdivision Map for Village T'. The only remaining non-residentia land use to be constructed in the master plan is the community commercial site ir Viage '8-1". This site is located at the comer of two major roadways, futurt Carlsbad Viage Drive and College Boulevard and these roadways would be capablc of handling the increased traffic. 8. The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry tht anticipated traffic thereon, because traffic studies have been completed for the Loca Facilities Management Plan Zone 7 and EIR 90-05. Compliance with the mitigati01 conditions required by these studies and plans would ensure that all circulatio~ infrastructure is in place to serve the traffic demands generated by buildout of thf master plan. 9. Any proposed commercial development can be justified economically at the locatio1 proposed and will provide adequate commercial facilities of the types needed at sucl location proposed, because the master amendment does not impact or affect thf proposed commercial site in Village 'E-1". The site is 11.3 acres which qualifies i for a community commercial site under the commercial criteria in the Land Usc Element of the General Plan. This site is also located at the comer of two majo roadways, future Carlsbad Village Drive and College Boulevard, therefore, access tc roads capable of handling the additional traffic would be provided. PC RES0 NO. 3517 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 10. The area surzounding the development is or can be phed and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the development, because changiq the land use in Vie "H" from multi-family residential to single-family would be compatible with the existing single-family neighborhood located directly west of the village boundary and the Master Plan. Where Viges W, X, and Y" abut the southeast comer of the Master Plan boundary there are areas of designated open space. GPA 90-05 and MP 15O(G) would increase the amount of open space aloq this boundary and provide additional open space buffering between residentia development in the Master Plan and surromding future development. t5 )I 11. Appropriate measures are proposed to mitigate adverse environmental impacts a! 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 noted in the adopted environmental impact report for the project, because tht Master Plan Amendment would not significantly change the land use patterns of tht master plan or increase the projected population and average daily trips. h addition, the update of the master plan would not incorporate any new poliaes tha would result in significant impacts to the environment. Conditions of approval fo~ the Master Plan Amendment and the Tentative Tract Map for Viiages W, X, ant Y" would include the approp~ate mitigation requirements of EIR 90-05 as outline< in the Mitigation Monitoring and kporting Program attached to Planniq commission Resolution No. 3515 as Exhibit "A" dated June 16,1993. 12. The proposed Master Plan Amendment, which proposes approximately 8% 1s dwelling units than the current Master Plan, through application of the 1992 Stat( Implementation Plan, will reduce cumulative impacts to Air Quality to less tha~ significant.
