That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental
settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will
not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation, in that the subject site is currently subdivided into 36 single-family
residential lots with a minimum lot size of 11,000 square feet. The proposed
building floor plans, elevations and plotting plans are properly related to the site,
surroundings, and environmental setting, and are consistent with the objectives of
the General Plan as the proposed homes meet all the development standards of the
Villages of La Costa Master Plan.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the single-family residences proposed for the existing 36 lots meet all
development standards of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan.
That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested use to existing or permitted fbture uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, in that no adjustments are necessary to allow the proposed
single-family residences to be located on the subject site. The proposed building
floor plans, elevations and plotting are consistent with the development standards
contained in the Villages of La Costa Master Plan.
That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed project consists of single-family
residences with access to public streets. The street system for Neighborhood 1.12 was
analyzed with CT 02-21 and necessary improvements were required and made part
of the approval at that time.
The Planning Director has determined that:
a. the project is a subsequent activity of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan for
which a program EIR was prepared, and a notice for the activity has been given,
which includes statements that this activity is within the scope of the program
approved earlier, and that the program EIR adequately describes the activity for
the purposes of CEQA); [ 15168(c)(2) and (e)]; and

this project is consistent with the Master Plan cited above; and
the Villages of La Costa Master Plan EIR 98-07 was certified in connection
with the prior plan; and
the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant
in the prior EIR; and
none of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent EIR or a Supplemental EIR
under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15 162 or 15 163 exist; and
the Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Villages of La Costa Master Plan EIR 98-07,
which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project, have been incorporated into
this Subsequent Project.
