The multi-family residential land use would b developed at an appropriate scale to achieve the allowed residential density. 11. The proposed use is necessary and desirable to provide a service or facility whic: will contribute to the long-term general well-being of the neighborhood and th community because Village "U" is designated for multi-fdy units in the mast€ plan. The development of this planning area with multi-family units will furthc build out the master plan as approved and will be separated from adjacent existin or approved single family villages by College Boulevard or open space areas. l 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 12. Such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persor residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in th vicinity because the project is not proposing any development in the norther. portion of the village adjacent to College Boulevard which has an Open Spacl General Plan designation. In addition the project has been designed and/o conditioned to implement the master plan's EIR (EIR 90-05) as applicable Approximately 39 acres of the planning area's 62 total acres will be placed intt open space lots and easements and those areas would remain in open space i perpetuity. The northem area of Village "U" can accommodate a link of th proposed Citywide public trail system along an existing water easement access roac that would extend east from the terminus of Carlsbad Village Drive toward Lak Calavera. Drainage facilities would be provided concurrent with development of th project to reduce erosion and flooding. All manufactured slopes will be landscapel to prevent erosion and to visually screen the slopes. Traffic noise impacts woul~ occur to the residential units adjacent to the east side of College Boulevarc therefore, a noise attenuation wall will be provided per the recommendations of th project's noise study. 13. The proposed planned development meets all of the minimum developmer standards set forth in Section 21.45.090, the design criteria set forth in Sectio 21.45.080, and has been designed in accordance with the concepts contained in th Design Guidelines Manual for the following reasons: a. The project's private street would have curb and gutter on both sides of th street and a pedestrian sidewalk system. The street will have 32 feet c paving which would exceed the 30 foot minimum private street widti standard. One section of the private street will be 36 feet wide in order tl provide more on-street guest parking spaces near the pooVrecreation area 24 25 26 27 b. The project will provide multi-family units with contemporary architecm design that will comply with all applicable development standards. c. Adequate recreational vehicle storage space would be provided in Village "I to serve this project. Village "I" was developed with RV storage to serve th entire master plan area. 28 PC RES0 NO. 3588 -3- -. 11 0 0 1 2 d. The multi-family units will meet all parking requirements for covered spaces resident spaces and guest spaces. Forty-four parking spaces would bc required with this project; 107 guest parking spaces will be provided botl on-street as well as parking bays dispersed throughout the project. 3 14. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ~ 15. 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 Developmen Regulations and Guidelines. The use of narrower private street widths (32 and 3( feet) versus a wider, standard public street minimizes and reduces the amount a grading and disturbance of the natural topography. The integrity and quality of th open space areas adjacent to the developable portions of the Village "U" will b8 preserved by the establishment of open space easements to transition betweel development and natural open space. In addition, manufactured slopes will b contour graded to follow existing the hillside topography and will be landscaped fa erosion control and visual screening. The location and orientation of the propose1 buildings will comply with hillside development guidelines by maintaining adequat building separation and setbacks from tops of slopes. The project's circulation system is designed to be efficient and well integrated wit the project and does not dominate the project because the private street in th project would have 32 or 36 feet of paving with curb, gutter and a pedestria sidewalk system. The private street internally connects the northern half of Villag U with the southern half of the village without requiring access onto Colleg Boulevard. This allows Village "U" to ultimately develop out as a distinc neighborhood with all residents having access to all portions, amenities an recreational areas of the village. Use of the private street minimizes grading an development impacts to the natural topography and vegetation. The proposed strec system is adequate to handle the projected vehicular traffic and accommodate emergency vehicle access. The Fire Department has reviewed and approved th project subject to standard Fire conditions. 19 20 21 22 23 16. The project's design and density is compatible with surrounding development an does not create a disharmonious or disruptive element to the neighborhood becaus the project meets all applicable City standards and the proposed residential densit is consistent with the General Plan (3.2 dus/acre). Public street improvemenl would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the projec must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Locz Facilities Management Plan Zone 7. Village "U" is buffered from adjacent existin or proposed uses by either the College Boulevard roadway or open space areas. 24 26 1.
