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 PC RES0 NO. 4189 -2- 8 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 e 0 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.
