STAFF REPORT
October 8, 1974
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT '
REPORT ON: ZONE CHANGE #145 - Tempi in Heights
APPLICANT: INVESTOR'S DEVELOPMENT AND MORTGAGE CORPORATION
5850 Avenida Encinas
Carlsbad, California 92008
I. REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a Preannexational
zone change from County E-l-A to R-l-7500 and R-l-9000 on a 83.25 acre
piece of property located on the east side of El Camino Real between
Elm Avenue extended and Chestnut Avenue.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends ZC-145 be.APPROVED.for the
following reasons:
1. The proposed zoning meets the intent of the Adopted General Plan,
• including the Open Space and Conservation Element.
2. The zoning attempts to relate density concepts to the hillside
slopes. .
III. PUBLIC FACILITIES POLICY: The applicant has provided the necessary evidence
that there will be public facilities available to serve the project. A
copy of a letter from the Carlsbad Unified School District has been attached.
IV. EIR REQUIREMENTS: The Planning Commission recommended CERTIFICATION of
the EIR at their September 10, 1974 meeting. No other action is required
by the Planning Commission.
V. BACKGROUND: The application was continued from the September 10, 1974
Planning Commission meeting so that the applicant could meet with Staff
to explore alternate zoning proposals and subdivision design concepts.
The proposed zoning is a product of these discussions. The applicant has
also provided a conceptual subdivision design utilizing the R-l-7500 and
9000 zones, and attempted to mitigate grading impacts which were of major
concern with the former proposal.
VI. GENERAL INFORMATION:
A. Location and Description of the Property: The property is located
east of the El Camino Mesa Subdivision, south of the Leadership
Housing (Quail Ridge) property, and west of the Lake Calavera Hills
property.
The property is legally described as:
All that portion of Lot "J" of Rancho Aqua Hedionda,
according to Partition Map No. 823 filed with the San
Diego County Recorder.
B. Surrounding Zoning:
North: R-l0,000
South: E-l-A (County)
East: P-C
West: R-A-10,000
C. Surrounding Land Use:
North: Vacant, application on file for single-family
subdivision
South: Vacant land in the County
East: Vacant Lake Calavera Hills property master planned
for a planned community at a net density of 5.7
d.u.'s/acre.
West: The EVCamino Mesa Subdivision is separated from the
subject.property by a small slip of undeveloped
R-A-10,000 property. El Camino Mesa is zoned as
R-l-7500,-8,000,-9,000 and 10,000 and is developed
as single-family residential.
D. General Plan Recommendations:
1. Land Use Element: The existing Land Use Portion of the General
' Plan shows the subject property as low density residential
(3-7 d.u.'s/acre) with a north-south open space linkage trans-
versing a small portion of the property. The General Plan density
recommendation is intended to be a flexible range, with a guaran-
teed density of 3 d.u./acre. Additional density is allowable
only if services are available and the land is physically suited
to support the additional density.
Staff believes that R-l-7500 zoning is appropriate for only the
eastern portion of the site which is a relatively flat mesa area.
The rest of the site must necessarily have a larger lot size in
order to minimize grading. Staff believes that the R-l-9,000
zone, as regulated through the subdivision process, can provide
necessary control over recontouring of natural landforms.
The proposed Land Use Element shows a density of 0-4 d.u./acre
on the property. The proposed zoning is consistent with this
recommendation.
2. The Open Space/Conservation Element: The Open Space and Con-
servation Element specifically addresses the following guidelines
for development in hillside area's, such as the subject property:*
a) Grading for building pads and roadways should be accomplished
in a manner that would maintain the appearance of natural
hillsides.
b) Soil reports, plans for erosion and sediment control
measures and provisions for maintenance responsibilities
should be a requirement of any approval process.
c) Density and intensity of development on hillsides should
relate to the slope of the land in order to preserve the •
integrity of the hillside.
d) Proper design criteria should be utilized to preserve the
integrity of the hillsides and soil resources of the City.
These points should be specifically addressed with subdivision
and grading permit applications.
3. Housing Element: The Housing Element recommends that residential
developments retain natural topography, provide contiguous open
spaces and that all residents of Carlsbad have access to adequate
housing with a price range they can afford.
The foregoing statements can be justified if the intent of the
R-1-7500 zoning is to provide a density at which a subdivision
can be built and also meet the Housing Element goals. The
applicants intent is to provide good housing in the $28,000 -
$40,000 range, the majority of the units are to be less than
$30,000. However, since there are no guarantees that a subdivision
will sell for a given range, the Staff believes that the sub-
division should be designed so as to conform to the majority
. of the Provisions of the General Plan.
VII. MAJOR PLANNING CONSIDERATION:
A. General Plan Conformity: The General Plan indicates the need for
zoning on the Tempi in property which is more responsive to topographic
conditions than a straight R-1-7500 zone. The applicant chooses not
to utilize the Planned'Community zone for this project because of the
problems of applying the P-C zone to a single-family subdivision.
Maintenance of common slopes could be difficult in this instance.
Staff would prefer that the project meet the Housing Element goal
of providing middle and lower middle income families with adequate
housing.
There must also be some interface with the Open Space and Conservation
Element goal of minimizing earth moving and allowing subdivision
design to follow contours of the natural landform.
Staff believes that these goals are possible with the present zoning
proposal. The proposed subdivision, when submitted, should be care-
fully reviewed to ensure its compliance with General Plan goals.

III. BACKGROUND:
A. Legal Description: All that portion of Lot "J" of Rancho Aqua
Hedionda, according to Partition Map No. 823 filed with the San
Diego County Recorder.
B. Surrounding Zoning:
North: R-10,000 .
South: E-l-A (County)
East: P-C
West: R-A-10,000
C. Surrounding Land Use:
North: Vacant, application on file for single-family subdivision
South: Vacant land in the County
East: Vacant Lake Calavera Hills property master planned
for a planned community at a net density of 5.7
d.u. 's/acre.
West: The El Camino Mesa Subdivision is separated from the
subject property by a small slip of undeveloped
R-A-10,000 property. El Camino Mesa is zoned as
R-l-7500,-8,000,-9,000 and 10,000 and is developed
as single-family residential.
D. General Plan Recommendations:
1 . Land Use Element:
The Land Use Element of the adopted General Plan shows the
subject property as Residential Low Medium Density (0-4 du/acre)
and Open Space (in the northwest corner adjacent to the San
Diego Gas and Electric Easement.)
i
The proposed tentative map has a density of 2.8 du/acre. The
Open Space is shown as a corridor adjacent to the San Diego
Gas and Electric Easement.
2. . Housing Element: -
The Housing Element has a number of goals and recommendations
which relate to this project:
a) That all residents of Carlsbad have access to adequate
housing within a price range they can afford.
b) That environmental quality be established and enhanced to
provide the necessary amenities and services for the residents
of Carlsbad.
c) Expansion of the urban portion' of the City should:
(1) Preserve geographic and natural resources
)(2) Retain natural topography
(3) Provide contiguous open spac
(4) Encourage design flexibility
In this instance, there appears to be some compromise between
the goal of providing housing for middle income families and
retaining the natural topography. Staff believes that the
open space corridor adjacent to the San Diego Gas & Electric
easement is essential for adequate pedestrian/bicycle circulation
and providing a linear open space corridor joining the park
to the north.
3. Open Space and Conservation Element:
The Open Space and Conservation Element shows a park corridor
expanding up the San Diego Gas & Electric power!ine easements.
It also speaks to maintaining the integrity of the natural
hillsides.
The subject proposal will involve massive earthmoving. How-
ever, Staff believes there are two trade-offs which tend to
offset the effects of the grading:
a) The applicant's good faith in attempting to provide
housing at affordable prices for middle income families;
b) The provision of the Open Space Corridor, providing
a link to recreational amenities and a potential school
site to the north.
E. Public Facilities Policy: The applicant has met the City's
Public Facility Policy. Please see the attached letters from
Car-lsbad Metropolitan Water District "and the Carlsbad Unified
School District.
F. E.I.R. Requirements: The Commission has voted to certify an EIR
for the subject property. Thus, the tentative map has met all
EIR requirements.
G. Major Planning Consideration: The Exhibit B,which was a revised
Exhibit submitted by the applicant, has several faults:
1. It shows a road which would be connected to "G" Street through
. the Leadership Homes property. Staff prefers that the portion
of the Leadership property be left in Open Space Easement
and that "G" Street remain a cul de sac. The through street
is not necessary for general circulation'purposes. Connecting
the two streets would eliminate the open space corridor which
separates the two properties.
2. If the road on the Tempi in Property ("B" Street) were to be
cul-de-saced, it would exceed the League of California City's
Standards for safe and functional cul-de-sac length. This
standard states that cul-de-sacs should be no longer than
500', except when the number of,units served by the street
Is restricted. The revised plan*, Exhibit D, still exceeds
the 500' cul de sac length requirement, but has been brought
to a length which can be tolerated by emergency services such
as police and fire.
3. Exhibit B does not conform to the Open Space corridor shown
on the Land Use and Open Space and Conservation Elements of
the General Plan.

Dear Mr. Agatep:
Responding to your request by letter received on October 25, 1974,
this office has the following comments and recommendations regarding
the revised tentative map of the subject project:
1. The District has furnished to you a letter dated October 6, 1974,
at which time we commented upon the original tentative map, as
filed. Accordingly, all of the items that- were set forth in that
letter are applicable to the subject tentative map, inasmuch as
the revisions, as we interpret them, do not involve the overall
. matter of public water service.
2. We do note on Sheet No. 1 of the revised tentative map, that public
water service is the responsibility of both the City of Carlsbad
and the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. We want to advise you
that pursuant to the forma,! agreements between the City and the
District this subdivision is located within the retail service
area of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District and as such the entire
project will be served by the Water District.
3. There is currently discussion taking place for the consolidation
of this proposed subdivision with neighboring properties and
nei
sta
propert
that a complete master plan of public water system facilities can
be provided for the entire section of our Improvement District #3
this proposed subdivision with neighboring properties and
ighboring developments, which have approval in the tentative map
ages. Accordingly, the District .will recommend that all of the
operties become involved in a specific engineering evaluation so
If you have any questions regarding the project
