CASE NAME: VILLAS AT EL CAMIN0 REAL CASE NO: HDP 93-08 WHEREAS, a verified application for certain property, to wit: Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 1188, in the County of San Diego, State of California, according to map thereof filed in the Office of County Recorder of San Diego County, December 20, 1972. 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 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on the 1st day of September, 1993, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Hillside Development Permit; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. €3) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES HDP 93-08, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions. 26 Findbp: 27 28 1. The hillside conditions and undevelopable areas of the project have been properly identified on the project site's hillside slope conditions and undevelopable areas have been identified on the Constraints Exhibit "0" dated, September 1, 1993.

The project design is in conformance with the development and design standards of the Hillside Development Regulations and the Hillside Development Guidelines. The project site contains several small isolated areas of 40% slopes that are less than fifteen feet in slope height and less than 4,000 sq. fi. in area. The Planning Commission finds that these 40% slope areas have been Nly identified and arc excluded from the requirements of the ordinance per Section 21.95.090 of thc Municipal Code. 3. The development proposal and all applicable development approvals and permits an consistent with the purpose, intent, and requirements of this chapter and that the project design substantially confoms to the intent of the concepts illustrated in the hillside development guidelines manual for the following reasons: a) All manufactured cut and fiIl slopes would be contour graded and would no1 exceed a height of 30 feet; b) The project's grading volumes of 8,530 cubic yards/graded acre and would fall within the "potentially acceptable range" of 8,0OO-10,000 cubic yds/acre. The Planning Director and City Engineer concur that the written findings contained on Exhibit 'W, dated September 1, 1993 are adequate to jus* the proposed grading volumes; c) Landscaping in conformance with the Citfs Landscape Guidelines Manual would be provided on all manufactured slopes to visually screen the slopes and to reduce erosion; d) The apartment buildings within the project would have varying roof lines and sloping roofs; e) Structures would be setback from the top of manufactured slopes from 10 to 20 feet; 4. No development or grading will occur in those portions of the property which are undevelopable pursuant to the provisions of Section 21.53.230 of this code, because all undevelopable areas have been identified and no development or grading would occur in the areas containing 40%+ slopes (except for small isolated areas of 40% slope which are exempt). 5. The project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside lands, because the proposed grading would create building pads that are terraced for views and would step down the slope. The local streets and manufactured slopes would be curving and are aligned to follow the natural contours. The street alignments and curving landform graded slopes would reduce visual impacts created by the grading and help simulate the natural slope conditions.
