The project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the Calavera Hills Master Plan since the proposed density of 1 du/acre is within the RL density range of 0 - 1.5 du's/acre specified for the site as indicated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan, and is at or below the growth control point of 1 du/acre. 2. The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropriate condition to this project, ensured building permits will not be issued for the project unless the City Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the Planning Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for this project. 3.

This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. 8. This project is consistent with the City's Growth Management Ordinance as it has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 7. 9. The granting of this permit will not adversely affect and will be consistent with Chapter 21.45, the Calavera Hills Master Plan, and all adopted plans of the City and other governmental agencies, because the project is consistent with Chapter 21.45, the Calavera Hills Master, and the General Plan because the Tentative Tract Map meets all the Planned Development standards, and single-family residential land use would be developed at the appropriate lot size and residential density. 28 PC RES0 NO. 3566 -2 - e 0 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 10. 11. 12. The proposed use is necessary and desirable to provide a service or facility whid will contribute to the long-term general well-being of the neighborhood and tht community because Village "H" is designated for single-family lots in the masta plan. The development of this planning area with larger custom estate type lot: would provide a better balance and mix of residential land uses within the maste; plan. A majority of the existing development within the master plan is multi-famill residential (condominiums and townhouses) or single-familyresidential developmen on smaller lots (5,000-7,500 square feet). Single-family residential land use i~ Village "H" would be compatible with the existing single family homes locatec directly west of this site. Such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of person! residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in tht vicinity because the project is designed to avoid most of the eucalyptus trees locatec: along the western property line. Where trees must be removed to gain access to thf property the trees would be replanted, onsite, at a 1 to 1 replacement ratio. A majority of the planning area will be placed into open space lots and easements and those areas would remain in open space in perpetuity. The northern and southern area of Village "H" would contain several links of the proposed Citywide public trail system that would connect with Hope Elementary School, Carlsbad Viage Drive, and Tamarack Avenue. Drainage facilities would be provided concurrent witk development of the project to reduce erosion and flooding. All manufactured slops would be landscaped to prevent erosion and to visually screen the slopes. Traffic noise impacts would occur to the single family lots along Carlsbad Viage Drive, therefore, a combination berm and noise attenuation wall would be provided. The proposed planned development meets all of the minimum development standards set forth in Section 21.45.090, the design criteria set forth in Section 21.45.080, and has been designed in accordance with the concepts contained in the Design Guidelines Manual for the following reasons: a. The project's private street would have curb and gutter on both sides of the street and a pedestrian sidewalk on one side. The street would have 32 feet of paving which would exceed the 30 foot minimum private street width standard. b. The project would provide custom single family homes of which the design and building placement would be controlled by the architectural design standards and building envelope requirements. c. Adequate recreational vehicle storage space would be provided in Viage "I" to serve this project. Village "C' was developed with RV storage to serve the entire master plan area. d. The single-family homes would have, at a minimum, a 20 x 20 foot, two car garage which would meet the parking and storage requirements of the ordinance, and guest parking would be provided on one side of the street. 28 PC RES0 NO. 3566 -3- 0 e 13. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 The proposed project is designed to be sensitive to and blend in with the natura topography of the site, and maintains and enhances significant natural resources 01 the site because the project meets all the requirements of the Hillside Developmen1 Regulations and Guidelines. The use of a narrower 32 foot wide private streel versus a wider public street minimizes and reduces the amount of grading and disturbance of the natural topography and helps preserve a large majority tht eucalyptus trees. The manufactured slopes would be contour graded to follow existing the canyon topography and they would be landscaped for erosion contm and visual screening. The lots also would terrace down the slope towards the soutl to conform with the natural grades. The future homes would have roof lines tha are varied and relate to the topography as required by the Village 'W desiB guidelines. 14. The project's circulation system is designed to be efficient and well integrated with the project and does not dominate the project because the private street in the project would have 32 feet of paving with curb, gutter, and on both sides of the street and a pedestrian side on one side. The private street connects to Victoria AVE which leads directly to Carlsbad Village Drive. Use of the private street minimizes grading and development impacts to the natural topography and vegetation. The 32 foot street is adequate to handle the vehicular traffic and accommodate emergency vehicles and the Fire Department has reviewed and approved the site Plan. 15. The proposed project's design and density of the developed portion of the site is compatible with surrounding development and does not create a disharmonious or disruptive element to the neighborhood because the proposed project meets all City standards and the proposed residential density is consistent with the General Plan (.3 dus/acre). The proposed single family residential land use is compatible with the single family residential development to the west and the multi-family residential to the east. Public street improvements would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 7, hcluding interim improvement of Carlsbad Village Drive. The recreational vehicle storage lot to the south is not a signiscant noise generating land use and would not impact the proposed residential neighborhood. The two land uses would be separated by an elevation difference of approximately 70 feet. The waste water treatment facility also located directly south of the project is not in operation and at this time there are no future plans to operate it. 23 25 1.
