Description: A portion of Lot "J" of Rancho Aqua Hedionda in the City of Carlsbad, according to Map 823 filed with the San Diego County Recorder. Appian Way and Marron Road. B. Location: On the east side of El Camino Real between C. Size: - i- 100 acres. D. Total Lots: 234 Single E. Proposed Phasing: Dwell i ng Units Area Unit 1 69 - f 40 Ac. Unit 2 87 - f 31 Ac. Unit 3 78 - + 29 Ac. F. Gross Density: 2.34 dwelling units/acre G. E.I.R. Finding: An Environmental Impact Report has bee prepared by City Staff, with the aid of reviewing agenc A copy of the Environmental Impact Report has been atta to this report. H. Existing Zoning: R-1-10,000. I. Adjacent Zoning: R-1-10,000 and P-C J. General Plan: The Land Use Element of the General Plan shows the property in question as Low-Medium Density . Residential at 0-4 dwelling units per acre and Open Spa -5- L1 0 a- The proposed development would have a density of 2.34 DU/acre. Areas with considerable slope have been left in Open Space, meeting the requirements of the Open Space and Conservation Element. The Open Space areas shown provide a continuous corridor which will connect with the San Diego Gas & Electric Easement and approved Park site on the Larwin Property. K. Parks Ordinance Requirements: The Parks and Recreation Department has recommended that Lot 72 (4 acres) be dedicated to the City in order to meet the requirements of the Park Dedication Ordinance. This park would be tied in to the Larwin Tiburon Park Site. Actual dedication required for the proposed subdivision is 5 1.34 acres. L. Public Facilities Policy: The applicant has provided evidence that public facilities will be provided to service the project. Copies of letters from the Carlsbal Municipal Water District and City Water Department have been attached. M. Circulation: The project will be accessed through Elm Avenue extended from the Larwin subdivision. 80th "A" Street and Elm Avenue will tie in to future subdivisions to the south and east. The looped street system proposed for the subdivision is to be built to City Standards (44' to 60' Row) and will be adequate for both general circulation, fire protection and service vehicle (i.e., trash) purposes. IV. - PIAJOR PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: A. Appropriateness of Zones: Concurrent applications for zoning and subdivisions can pose several problems. the applicant is proposing K-1-7503 zoning, only 28% of the lots witha'n the subdivision are less than 8,000 square feet. eight percent of the lots are between 8,000 - 10,000 square feet and 14% are in excess of 10,000 square feet. The subdivision, therefore, exceeds minimum R-1-7500 zone require. ments for most of the lots. A problem could arise, however, if the tentative subdivision map would be allowed to expire and the property would remain K-9-7500. Therefore, Staff believes that the only assurance that the proposed subdivision concept will be carried out is to approve a split '2-1-7500 and Open Space Zone. The Open Space Zoning will limit the boundaries of grading and development, and generally constrain any major subdivision redesi In this instance, althoug Fifty- -6- .. - * e- I, B,, Relationship to Surrounding Land Uses: Larwin subdivision, the surrounding developments are predominantly single-family residential. in this area are: 1.
