Wo. L Date: May 7y 1974 City Manager's Recommendation Considerable time has been spent by the staff and Planning Commission on this project. The primary concern is that a large section of the City is being planned for development which is not immediately adjacent to other developed portions of the City and therefore some distance from normal City services. This distance from services will increase the cost of these services beyond that normally provided in the core area of the .City. To help minimize this, the Planning Commission and the staff have insisted that as part of the first phase of development, the developer build the extension of either Elm or Kelly Drive. This is an extremely important condition and it is my recommendation that it not be approved without this requirement. Council Action 5-21-74 Ordinance #9388 was given a second reading and adopted -2- CITY OF CARLSBAD PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR January 22, 1974 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT ON: CASE NOS. APPLICANT: CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE OF ZONE CONSIDERATION OF MASTER PLAN EIS-230 ZC -138 MP -150 R. L. Farrow for Farrow Realtors 8550 Garden Grove Blvd. P.O. Box 247 Garden Grove, Ca. 92642 Since .these applications were filed, Staff has held a number of meetings with the developers regarding this project. The re- sult of these meetings has been a revision of the Master Plan to more realistically depict the maximum density allocations of the property in light of the General Plan. The changes are in two areas: 1) A determination has been made as to what is the net average of the property in question, it is presently written does discuss basis of a net acre, Staff is of the be adequately evaluated unless tt is Therefore, th.e applicant has revised land areas in net acres. It should Since the General Plan as land use allocations on the opinion that no project can presented in the same terms the Master Plan to reflect Be noted that only as a part of th.e actual development can the true net acreage be shown. There- fore, tfi.e final net acres will Be somewhat less as a part of actual development due to terrain and the final urban form. 2) Staff has required the applicant to present the proposed density allocations on the basis of the estimated final urban form rather than project- ing the development on the basis of generalized density allocations, The purpose of this requirement was to give the Planning Commission and City Council the ability to evaluate the project on the basis of what the ultimate project will be in terms of the mix of urban forms within the development and in terms of the impact of the pro- ject on the total community. I. REQUEST: That the Planning Commission consider and recom- mend approval to the City Council of the Final Environmental Impact Report, a change of zone from L-C (Limited Control) and R-A-10 (Residential Agricultural) to P-C (Planned Com- munity), and a Master Plan for a 3,452 residential develop- ment. II.STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: A- Re: EIR-230: That it be moved that the Planning Commis- sion recommend to the City Council that the Final Environ- mental Impact Report BE ACCEPTED to include: 1. The draft Environmental Impact Report contained in this report. 2. Staff's comments summarizing the Environmental Impact Report. 3. Any comments received from other agencies reviewing the Environmental Impact Report. 4. Any public input received as a part of the public hearing held on Environmental Impact Report. Justification is based upon the fact that the final Environ- mental Impact Report does comply with the Environmental Protection regulation of the State of California and the City of Carlsbad. In addition, the final Environmental Impact Report does adequately ex- press the effects of the proposed development on the environment. B. Re: Resource Management Permit: That it be moved that the Planning Commission GRANT a Resource Management Per- mit requiring that any development conform to the develop- ment standards of the RM-2, RM-3 and RM-4 District when applicable. C. Re; Change of Zone: That it be moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that a change of zone from L-C and R-A-10 to P-C BE APPROVED for the sub- ject property. Justification is based upon: 1. Conformance of the proposed P-C District to the adop- ted General Plan requirements. 2. Compatibility of the zoning designation to the exist- ing and proposed development in the area. 3. Compatibility of any development to the existing ter- rain through the application of the Open Space Ordi- nance. D. Re: Master Plan 150: That it be moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that MP-150 BE APPROVED subject to the conditions outlined below. Jus- tification is based upon: 1. Conformance of the Master Plan to all the requirements of the P-C Zone District. 2. Conformance of the proposed density of 5.69 DU's per net acre to the General Plan commitment. 3. Compatibility of the proposed development to existing and proposed development .in the area. 4.

Re: Final Environmental Impact Report: !• Summary: The preliminary Environmental Report submit- ted by Environmetrics Development Planning, Inc. was accepted by the Department, and this Report includes the Environmental Impact Report which has been revised to provide for Staff's independent judgment of the impacts of the project. In addi- comments of the various reviewing included. full environmental tion, the relevant agencies have been -5- Environmentally, the proposed project is considered to have tremendous impacts since the ultimate project will result in the transformation of a 1.3 square mile portion of the community from a semi-agricultural area to a complete urban form. The provision of open space in the areas of critical environmental concerns does somewhat mitigate the impacts of the project. In ad- dition, the proposed planning of the project over a ten-year period would lessen the impacts of the pro- ject on public services. The location of the property on the fringe of the community does increase the con- cerns of the impacts of the project in the area of growth-inducing impacts. 2. Agencies Notified: The following agencies were sent copies of the Environmental Impact Report: a. LAFCO b. County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Depart- ment c. State of California Division of Highways d. San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board e. Comprehensive Planning Organization f. City of Carlsbad Engineering Department g. Carlsbad Unified School District h. City of Oceanside. Copies of the comments received are attached to this report and have been incorporated in the final re- vised draft Environmental Impact Report. 3. Draft Environmental Impact Report: The draft Environ- mental Impact Report does consist of the preliminary Environmental Impact Report submitted by the applicant which has been revised to include Staff's independent judgment of the environmental impact of the proposed project and any comments received from those agencies reviewing the Environmental Impact Report,(see attached) Change of Zone: The applicant is in the process of annex- ing approximately 760 acres of the subject 808.5 acres to the City of Carlsbad. The remaining portion was annexed to the City in 1962 as a portion of a 930.36 acre annexa- tion which included Lake Calavera. It is expected that this annexation will be completed before any final actions occur on these requests. The requested change of zone from L-C and R-A-10 to P-C, in terms of good planning practices, seems to be the logi- cal zoning for the subject property. -6- C. Master Plan: The applicant has submitted a Master. Plan which cons is t s o f : 1 . Exhibit C - Plan Map. 2. Exhibit D - Master Plan Narrative. 3. Exhibit E - Survey and Analysis. These materials indicate the information required to show the concept of development at the Master Plan stage. In terms of proposed development, the materials indicate the following uses: 1 . Residential : a~i D 4 DU per net acre - 149.4 acres - 597 units. b. D 6 DU per net acre - 425.4 acres - 2,552 units. c. D 10 DU per net acre - 30.0 acres - 300 units. 2. Commercial Center - 20 acres. 3. Public Uses: a. 2 park sites - 20 acres. b. 2 elementary school sites - 20 acres. c. Designated open space areas - 150 acres. d. Potential public safety center - approximately 4 acres (located within the Commercial center). It is Staff's opinion that the applicant, through this Master Plan application, has attempted to project the proposed development in realistic terms. While the emphasis of the residential develop- ment seems to be in the area of cluster housing, Staff is of the opinion that compatibility to existing terrain does require the em- phasis on cluster housing. It is the opinion of Staff that the Mas- ter Plan is well conceived and could be the beginning of a quality development for the community. However, it is felt that some em- phasis will have to be placed upon the locational factors by the Planning Commission and City Council in their deliberation on the request. The applicant's narrative (Exhibit D) on the last two pages does discuss the issue. If it is felt that these statements adequately mitigate the concern of prematurity, Staff is recommend- ing approval of the Master Plan. V. ATTACHMENTS: Affidavit, Robert L.

Williams Planning Department City of Carlsbad 1200 Elrn Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 DEC 2t 1973 jCITY OF CARLSBAD .Planning Department Ref: Draft Environmental Impact Report for Lake Calavera Hills Dear Mr. Williams: Finding that the subject draft environmental impact report was well prepared,- we offer the following comments and those of our consultant as contributions to the evaluation process. Cornell, Bridgers, Troller and Hazlett, Landscape Architects, are responsible for preparing a Master Development plan for Lake Calavera Regional Park. Seemingly, too much confidence was placed in the County's Environmental Data System known as "Alert III" as a primary source of information. Since data gathered for a particular cell of little more than 22 acres may seem to be adequate, some data is deficient and other is not provided. For example, with reference to EIR 7 Unique^ Features, there are rather picturesque examples of sedimentary erosion which may be considered to be a redeeming feature of the land. It is noted on EIR 8 Susceptibility to Erosion, that 47 percent of the planning area is subject to adverse erosion. However, it was assumed that the soil is readily controlled when in fact very effective measures will have to be employed to insure against erosion. Stabilizing films, mulches, matting and excellent soil management methods will have to be employed to prevent washout of sandy soils until erosion control plants are well established. Much of the soil does not readily retain moisture, thus necessitating frequent watering which will also contribute to the erosion process. Many plants will be' smothered from soil movement requiring their replacement. Certain plants customarily used for erosion control planting are not satisfactory because their own weight will contribute to instability of the soil. Sandy soils pose innumerable problems requiring more attention than other soils. It seems that a more complete mitigating statement in this regard should have been provided. Several areas in the report are treated lightly. For example, on EIR 25 with reference to Water Supply and Distribution, Sanitary Sewer, Drainage and Roads Park Development Dlvition E. J- MOSES, director ,*>*>*\. Mr. Paul A. Williams - 2 - De center 20, 1973 26), the matter of construction impact is not considered, even though these projects also affect the environment. Whereas public and private agencies are required to provide in depth analyses of the impact such projects have upon en- ' vironment. Mitigation of such impacts should have been elaborated upon in the report. It seems that most environmental impact reports require substantive information or references relative to seismic, flora, fauna, archaeological, historical and other areas. An effort should have been made to identify the seismic zones and provide a description of their magnitude, for example. Because there are no known archaeological sites recorded in the vicinity does not mean that they do not exist. The butte is a prime candidate for artifacts representing several cultural periods. It is recommended that at least a preliminary archaeological survey be made of the entire site. Since a biological report was not provided, there is little validity to the state- ment that the development has little impact upon wildlife. The provision of open- space corridors within the development offers a slight opportunity for mainten- ance of wildlife in the area when the domestic predaceous feline (cat) will de- stroy the ecological balance of the food chain from the rodent to rapture bird life. The domestic canine (dog) will harass rabbits and other animals on the food chain, thus causing the territories of the coyote, deer, bobcat, fox, skunk and predatory birds to diminish until it will no longer be feasible for them to sustain themselves within the confines of the site. Openspace corridors are valuable areas, however, for animals and birds which are able to subsist in man's environment. Relative to ElR 26 Urban Form, it is assumed that upon adoption of Carlsbad's revised General Plan, an accompanying environmental impact report will be pre- pared. The report may lend a certain amount of justification to this develop- ment. For the time being, it must be assumed that this project is necessary for Carlsbad's viability, and therefore justifiable. With reference to EIR 33^Noise, this particular project offers a unique oppor- tunity to provide e f f e c tTve" coh tro 1 s on noise generated beyond the confines of the living unit with the introduction of landscaped buffers, openspace corridors, etc. However, with the provision of high density development, noise will tend to be concentrated, resulting in a higher level of ambient noise in the vicinity of the living unit, particularly within a clustered complex.- Likewise, concen- tration of living units will also cause a concentration of air pollutants. How- ever, with the introduction of open space corridors and abundant landscaping, plant absorption of certain gases will contribute to enrichment of air quality not available in traditional developments. Pages EIR 43-50 dwell on mitigating measures to minimize the impact, etc. These pages seem to place emphasis upon justification of the project, rather than ex- panding upon mitigative solutions to the impact of development. It may be concluded that the report was forthriqhtly presented representing a sincere desire to present the problems and citing established precedents or offering remedial alternatives.^-—K ; ^ ^,—«. /J}// ) /^\3-^f^jt£e*&*~***&&+>is ' /JAMES 0.

Williams Associate Planner City Planning Department 1200 Elm Ave. Carlsbad, CA 9200S Dear Mr. Williams: We have reviewed the Master Plan and Environmental Impact Report for Lake Calavera Hills and have found it to be com- prehensive in its content. Of concern to the City of Ocean- side is" the density it will bring to the area and the need for the use of the City of Oceanside's sewer service. The plan has been reviewed by our Staff and by the Public Works Director, who has discussed with the developer their proposal, and have found that the statements made concerning sewerage for the small part sewering to the north in Oceanside are substantially true. However, later review when plans are available will be necessary for full sewer capacity considerations. The actual physical layout is not shown in this plan. Locations of activities and their relationship to Lake Cala- vera should be graphically illustrated in order to fully determine the environmental impact upon Calavera Regional Park.

We can, therefore, endorse the proposed master plan in principle with the following reservations: Our endorsement in principle in no way is to be considered a commitment that the County will acquire all or part of the area identified on the proposed master plan as Regional Park Reserve or that the County will limit any future acquisition to the area so identified. The reservations above stated appear appropriate in view of the fact that all of the geological and engineering factors relative to the development of land acquisition and development plans have not been fully explored and accomodated. In general, we find the master plan referred to above is of good quality and well thought out. We offer, however, the suggestion that the area depicted as "Regional Park Reserve" should be retitled "Reservation for Open Space". Having just received a copy of the project's Environmental Impact Report we are not prepared to comment on that aspect. During your processing of the proposed Lake Calavera Hills Master Plan County staff will welcome opportunities to discuss with you and/or the developers his development plans and those of the proposed regional park as they evolve as they interface with each other.

The following comments have been generated by CPO staff and as such have not been reviewed by the CPO Board of .Directors. .^f j* /•? Y^ Open Space . ""* 1. The Lake Calavera Hills development was reviewed in relation to the CPO Open Space Plan which showed that the site encompasses several hundred acres pro- posed for acquisition as part of Calavera Regional Park. While the environ- mental impact analysis does indicate 100 acres is being proposed for sale to the County, a full discussion of the relative importance of the additional acreage to the west of the site to the overall park development plan, should be addressed. It is also noted that open space shown on the proposed development Master Plan would provide linkage along streams between the park and land adjacent to the north, south and west. Given appropriate public easement these streams could allow trails shown on the Calavera Lake schematic concept plan even though the land would not be part of the park. Staff believes that with proper treatment of the open space, the reduction of acreage originally proposed for Calavera Park is feasible from a regional open space perspective. 2. Schools The analysis of school needs presented in the draft EIR is the most compre- hensive we have reviewed to date. It gives a solid estimate of school needs both in terms of students generated and additional facilities that will be needed to service the increase in student population. Moreover, it emphasizes the overall school problem that could be encountered by the Carlsbad Unified School District and other school districts in the next 10 to 15 years. The twenty-five EIR's we have received from Carlsbad over the last nine months have in varying degrees addressed the problem of schools. This has in most instances taken the form of identifying sites for projected elementary Member Ac;.j;u;iHS - CAHLKUAD. CHULA VISTA. CORONADO, Dul.

None of the develop- ments discussed by the EIR's make any site provisions or adequately dis- cussed measures for alleviating the impacts associated with the projected increase in junior and senior high school student population. For example, the Carlsbad Unified School District does own a 40 acre high school site directly to the southeast of the Lake Calavera Hills development at the future intersection of College Blvd. and Cannon Road. As indicated below, financing new construction and land acquisition has become a major problem. Carlsbad's one high school is currently 150 students over capacity and the one junior high school and four elementary schools are at capacity. The Carlsbad Unified School District's remaining legal bonding capacity is pre- sently $8,138,244; however, no high school bonds have been voted since 1969 and no elementary school bonds have received voter approval since 1966. High School, Junior High School and Elementary School requirements in the Carlsbad area need further study and coordination to insure the timely development and staffing of the additional school facilities that may be needed. 3. Phasing Plan As with'the previous Environmental Reports studied, it is difficult to assess the impacts associated with a single development proposal such as Lake Calavera Hills without having a clear picture of the total level of development proposed for the Carlsbad area. The high levels of development pressure throughout the subregion points out the immediate need for the phasing of related public services for the entire North County subregion. Sincerely, KENNETH E.

McCabe, President McCabe Engineering, Inc. 607 Aldwych Road El Cajon, Ca. 92020 Gentlemen: I have reviewed your map and your letter of October 2 regarding your Lake Calavera Hills project. I did discuss this matter in a general way with Dennis O'Leary and I did tell Dennis that the City of Oceanside would cooperate with the City of Carlsbad, as requested, in serving that portion of Carlsbad which drains • naturally northward into the Buena Vista water shed at Lake Blvd. since we expect Carlsbad to serve some portions of Oceanside which drain to the Aqua Hedionda water shed. Of your 87 acres/ however,-only 38 actually drain to Lake Blvd., although the re- mainder could be sewered in that direction. I also told Dennis that, until the City's overall treatment and reclamation pro- ject v/as completed late in 1974, we are overloaded in the Buena Vista Water shed. In answer to your specific question, the City of Oceanside will cooperate to serve the 38 acres which drain northward on a per- manent basis provided the flow .of sewage does not commence 'until after completion of our force mains and pump station in 1974.. We might temporarily serve additional acreage that can sewer to Lake Blvd. until such time as Carlsbad facilities are available but this would, be up to the City of Carlsbad and the Oceanside City Council. This information is supplied you in a spirit of cooperation with a neighboring City and if you wish to proceed in this matter, your request should be made through the City of Carlsbad. The infor- mation contained in this letter is in conformance with the dis- cussion I had with Dennis O'Leary except that I don't believe the date or completion of our sewer project v/as discussed.

After analysis from a planning and economic standpoint we feel we can make the adjustments to our Master Plan that you have indicated will provide acceptance by the city. It is our understanding this is establishing density's on a basis of four D.U. per net acre for R-l design and six D.U. per net acre for PUD design. Net acreage to be determined by deducting major roads, schools, parks and 23% for interior roads R-l sub-divisions and 10% interior roads for PUD. In the case of Lake Calavera Hills this translates . specifically into the following: Gross Acreage - 808.5 Deduction - major roads - 51 acres Deduction - parks - 20 acres Deduction - school sites - 20 acres Deduction - commercial site - 20 acres Deduction - interior road based on 10% & 23% Net acreage - 605 acres Total number of units - Based on density's of 4 & 6 = 3,452 dwelling units. We are very aware that terrain is a major concern and in our specific plan submissions we will be giving maximum emphasis and consideration to design, layout, etc. PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES: RESIDENTIAL RESALES • INVESTMENT COUNSELING • NEW HOMES • PROPERTY MANAGEMENT MOTELS/HOTELS • MORTGAGE FINANCING • ESCROWS • INSURANCE • MARKETING • CONSTRUCTION * DEVELOPMENT \ Mr. Paul Williams December 28,;Pa'qe Two As you are aware we have met several times with the county regarding the Lake Calavera Regional Park. Because the county has made no definite decision at this point we have not set aside any specific acreage for regional park inclusion. We are, however, pledging our cooperation should they be able to bring the regional park into actuality and are not planning any immediate con- struction on those lands which might be included in the regional park. Under the new revision we have attempted to be fairly realistic not only in placing our anticipated density's where we feel they should be from a planning standpoint but also taking into consideration the terrain, etc. As we mentioned, though, we probably will be controlled geographically as to where the initial construction is started based on access of sewers, roads, etc. Gobar & Associates, a national recognized marketing firm, are in the process now of recommending what type of project our first unit should be. Should we find that product demand is other than what is intended in the specific geographic area of the Master Plan you have confirmed that we can transfer the density's between Planning Analysis Areas within the Master Plan as long as we do not exceed the total number of approved units. We will have the Master Plan Report completely redone reflecting the new # of units and a Master Plan Map of the planning analysis areas with gross acreage, net acreage, # of DUS and density per net acre, indicated. Hopefully this will be available prior to January llth. It is our understanding that the city will continue to follow up in all areas necessary regarding sewer service and other utilities to the project. Should this change or you wish us to participate directly in any way I would appreciate your letting me know as soon as possible. Thanks again for your time and if you have any additional comments please don't hesitate to make them. s Sincerely, /i. <s ^ Jerry F.

ADMINISTRATION 729-9291 CITY OF CARLSBAD PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR February 26, 1974 TO: REPORT ON: CASE NOS.: APPLICANT: PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE OF ZONE CONSIDERATION OF MASTER PLAN EIS-23Q ZC -138 MP -150 R. L. FARROW for Farrow Realtors 8550 Garden Grove Blvd. P. 0. Box 247 Garden Grove, Ca. 92642 These matters were continued from the Planning Commission meeting of January 22, 1974 to permit the Planning Commissioners sufficient tim to review all the materials presented regarding these requests. Rather than mailing all the materials presented to each of you again, staff does request that you bring the draft E.I.R. attached to the staff report dated January 22, 1974 to this meeting. During this period of continuance, staff has met with the appli- cant to discuss two issues which were: the recommended condition No. 16, regarding a direct connection from the development to El Camino Real, and the second issue which was that of pre- maturity of the development. As a result of this meeting and further evaluation, staff is of the opinion that the extension of Kelly Drive or Elm Avenue to El Camino Real as a part of the first plan of development necessary to provide what is to ba an adequate -level of service to the residents of initial and subsequent developments. The extension of and College Drive would not provide considered the Cannon is no longer recommended, since this extension a more direct connection to the developed part of Carlsbad than if the Route 78 and College Drive route would be considered as the connection. Such a connection in terms of standards of improvement would be on the basis of two travel lanes, minimum "shy" distance, and emergency shoulder parking access-rather than a fully improved street. With, regard to the issue of prematurity; staff believes that it can only be mitigated by appropriate phasing of the development in terms of location and size of such phase. For example, to start the development with some 20 dwelling units along the easterly boundary of the subject property would be considered premature; whereas, development initiated along the westerly boundary and 'continued easterly and/or southerly in 150 dwelling -1 - c unit increments to the completion of the project would not be. To provide public services to the former would be more costly than to service the latter. Since the master plan is considered to be a further refinement of the general plan land use commit- ment on the property; rather than an approval for immediate development of the property, staff believes that this issue of prematurity should be confronted as a part of this consideration of the first element of the precise development, i.e. the first specific plan. If sufficient consideration is given to the phasing program by the applicant, staff believes that the pre- maturity issue may be alleviated. I. REQUEST: That the Planning Commission consider and recom- mend approval to the City Council of the Final Environ- mental Impact Report, a change of zone from L-C (Limited Control) and RA-1Q (Residential Agricultural) to P-C (Planned Community), and a Master Plan for a 3,452 residential development.

Summary: The preliminary Environmental Report submitted by Environmetrics Development Planning, Inc. was accepted by the Department, and this Report includes the Environ- mental Impact Report which has been revised to provide for Staff's independent judgment of the full environ- mental impacts of the project. In addition, the relevant comments of the various reviewing agencies have been included. Environmentally, the proposed project is considered to have tremendous impacts since the ultimate project will result in the transformation of a 1.3 Square mile -6- portion of the community from a semi-agricultural area to a complete urban form. The provision of open space in the areas of critical environmental concerns does somewhat mitigate the impacts of the project. In addition, the proposed planning of the project over a ten-year period would lessen the impacts of the project on public services. The location of the property on the fringe of the community does increase the concerns of the impacts of the project in the area of growth-inducing impacts. 2. Agencies Notified: The following agencies were sent copies of the Environmental impact Report: a. LAFCO b. County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Depart- ment c. State of California Division of Highways d. San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board e. Comprehensive Planning Organization f. City of Carlsbad Engineering Department g. Carlsbad Unified School District h. City of Oceanside. Copies of the comments received are attached to this report and have been incorporated in the final re- vised draft Environmental Impact Report. 3. Draft Environmental Impact Report: The draft Environ- mental Impact Report does consist of the preliminary Environmental Impact Report submitted by the applicant . which has been revised to include Staff's independent judgment of the environmental impact of the proposed project and any comments received from those agencies reviewing the Environmental Impact Report said E.I.R. was forwarded as a part of the staff report for January 22, 1974. B. Change of Zone: The applicant is in the process of annex- ing approximately 760 acres of the subject 808.5 acres to the City of Carlsbad. The remaining portion was annexed to the City in 1962 as a portion of a 930.36 acre annexa- tion which included Lake Calavera. The City Council did approve the annexation on February 19, 1974. The requested change of zone from L-C and R-A-10 to P-C, in terms of good planning practices, seems to be the logi- cal zoning for the subject property. C. Master Plan: The applicant has submitted a Master Plan which consists of: 1 . Exhibit C - Plan Map. 2. Exhibit D - Master Plan Narrative. 3. Exhibit E - Survey and Analysis. These materials indicate the information required to show the concept of development at the Master Plan stage. In -7 - terms of proposed development, the materials indicate the following uses: 1 . Resident! al : a. D 4 DU per net acre - 149.4 acres - 597 units. b. D 6 DU per net acre - 425.4 acres - 2,552 units c. D 10 DU per net acre - 30.0 acres - 300 units. 2. Commercial Center - 20 acres. 3. Public Uses: a. 2 park sites - 20 acres. b. 2 elementary school sites - 20 acres. c. Designated open space areas - 150 acres. d. Potential public safety center - approximately 4 acres (located within the Commercial center). It is Staff's opinion that the applicant, through this Master Plan application, has attempted to project the proposed develop- ment in real istic terms. While the emphasis of the residential development seems to be in the area of cluster housing. Staff is of the opinion that compatibility to existing terrain does require the emphasis on cluster housing. It is the opinion of Staff that the Master Plan is well conceived and could be the beginning of a quality development for the community. However, it is felt that some emphasis will have to be placed upon the locational factors by the Planning Commission and City Council in their deliberation on the request. The applicant's narrative (Exhibit D) on the last two pages does discuss the issue. If it is felt that these statements adequately mitigate the Concern of prematurity, Staff is recommending approval of the Master Plan. V. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Affidavit, Robert L.

CITY OF CARLSBAD PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT March 12, 1974 TO: REPORT ON: CASE NOS.: APPLICANT: PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION OF EIS CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE OF ZONE CONSIDERATION OF MASTER PLAN EIS-280 ZC-138 MP-150 R. L. Farrow for Farrow Realtors 8550 Garden Grove Blvd. P. 0. Box 247 Garden Grove, Ca. 92642 These matters were continued from the Planning Commission meeting-of .February 26, 1974 to permit one commissioner to listen to the tape of the Planning Commission meeting of January 22, 1974 regarding these matters. It is requested that the commissioners bring the staff reports on these items for the meetings of January 22, and February 26, 1974. DISCUSSION OF PHASING: At the meeting of February 26, 1974, - . membersof the commission indicated a concern regarding the ability to guarantee some logical planning of the proposed development. Staff, in the report, indicated that the actual phasing of the development would mitigate any concern of pre- maturity if it were done in an appropriate manner. If the commission desires, it is considered appropriate to impose a time limit for the commencement of the total development or its various phases. The applicant indicates in his master plan that he proposes to construct approximately 340 D.U. per year and that, on this basis, the total development would take approximately ten years to complete. To a city, the importance of phasing is based upon the opinion that the initial and each subsequent phase should be planned and related to surrounding existing and potential development and existing and planned public services and facilities, by so relating such phase, failure to develop subsequent phases will not adversely effect either the phases already completed or surrounding develop- ments. Based upon the recommended 17 conditions, the first phase of development would have to at least include portions of P.A.A. Nos. 1 and 10 and any portion of the P.A.A.'s (See applicants exhibit C to relate these numbers) which include either the extension of Elm Avenue or Kelly Drive. Therefore, logically, development 'should begin with P.A.A. #1 and the park site in P.A.A. #10 or with P.A.A. #10 and the park site in P.A.A. #1. A possible phasing program would be as follows: — "1 11 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 0. 1.

The commercial development would occur as a part of Phase 8 (1984) or could occur as a separate phase. In addition, any firm commitment-regarding the regional park would effect phases 9 (1985) and 10 (1986-87).
