NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Pla1
Commission as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commi:
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Hillside Development Permit, HDP 9
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That hillside conditions have been properly identified on the constraints map which I
existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages;
2. That undevelopable areas of the project, i.e. slopes over 40%, have been pro]
identified on the constraints map;
3. That the development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose, and requiremer
the Hillside Ordinance, Chapter 21.95, in that onsite project grading, which is terr
from west to east consistent with existing topography, retains to the greatest el
possible a central ridgeline west of Aviara Parkway. Grading volumes of E
cy/acre are within the potentially acceptable range, and in accordance
permitted exclusions to the development and design standards, the site reqt
extensive grading including 25% dual criterion slopes and 40% sloper
accommodate a circulation element roadway requiring that manufactured cut
fill slopes will exceed 30 feet and rise to a total height of 65 - 70 feet (separate
mid-point by a drainage bench and swale) at one location. All cut and fill slopes
be visually screened with landscaping. The project is consistent with hill
architectural guidelines in that sufficient setbacks from adjoining downhill sll
will be provided, dominant roof and hillside slopes are parallel, exterior mate:
and colors are consistent with the natural landscape, and walldfences located a1
top of slopes will follow the hillside contour, be consistent in color with the hill
landscape, and be in scale and proportion to the hillside landform.
4. That the proposed development or grading will occur in the undevelopable portions oj
site, i.e. disturbance to 25% slopes containing coastal sage scrub habitat and 40
slopes, in conflict with provisions of Section 21.95.060(a) and 21.53.230 of
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC), that the site requires extensive grading
accommodate a circulation-element roadway, and that the site has unusual geotechr
or soil conditions that necessitate corrective work that may require significant amoun
grading, in that the project contains unusual soils requiring remedial grading
25%+ slopes and is conditioned to construct the only remaining segment of Avi
Parkway, a north-south circulation element roadway which bisects the cen
portion of the site. There is no feasible alternative to the vertical and horizo:
roadway alignments in that the roadway design has been set by previous pro

approvals, and the roadway currently terminates at the northern and sout
boundaries of the project. Therefore, pursuant to Section 21.95.090 of the CMC
project may be excluded from the Hillside Ordinance development and d8
standards.
5. That the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrai
the Hillside Development Guidelines Manual, in that roof lines along the ridgelin
parallel with hillside slopes, one and two story buildings are set back from tc
slope a minimum of 15 feet with 10 - 20 feet of separation between structures,
the project is designed with curvilinear local streets that follow contours
provide access to terraced lots.
6. That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside lanc
that the length and height of cut and fill slopes are limited and designed to e
straight, flat faces to the greatest extent possible and adequate landscape screc
of slopes is provided. View preservation and enhancement is ensured thrl
landscaping of manufactured slopes and conformance with architectural guide1
