SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL REVIEW OF PROPOSED REVISIONS TO SP-23A
Pacific Scene, Inc. is requesting the City to approve proposed changes in
elevation, height, and bulk of the town houses proposed on Phase C of
Alta Mira. Also being proposed is a net reduction of 39 units from the
original approved 118 dwelling units to 79 DU's. Planning Commission does
not view the change to be so significant in light of the overall project
as to require an amendment to the Specific Plan (SP-23B).
The Planning Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting of August 13,
1975, recommended to the City Council that the proposed revisions to Phase
C of the Alta Mira project were not so substantial as to require an amend-
ment to the Specific Plan.
The developer, Pacific Scene Inc., by letter of August 7, 1975, outlined
the proposed revisions and requested the Planning Director to determine
significance of the proposed changes outlined. The Staff did not feel the
changes proposed were significant and requested that the Planning Commission
concur in their recommendation.
Both the Staff and the Planning Commission feel that the City Council should
be similarly apprised of the proposed changes and would recommend the City
Council concur in the Planning Commission recommendation.

REQUEST: PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW OF PROPOSED SITE PLAN AND
ELEVATION REVISION FOR PHASE C, ALTA MIRA
In a letter dated August 7, 1975 (attached), Financial Scene has requested
the City's permission to modify their approved specific Plan for the third
phase of the Alta Mira Development on Lowder Lane. City approval is re-
quired by Condition 6 of the Specific Plan:
"The Specific Plan, Exhibit A shall be adopted and deviation
therefrom shall be subject to the approval of the City of
Carlsbad".
Staff feels that the modifications proposed are not significant in terms of
the total Alta Mira project and requests the Commission's concurrance in
it's interpretation prior to reviewing the revisions and proceeding with
building permits.
The applicant proposes to lower the density of the affected area from 118
units to 79 units, as shown in the attached site plan exhibit, with
corresponding modifications in building elevations (Exhibit Ys available
at Commission meeting). Modifications are also proposed in providing
covered parking adjacent the units and in the turnarounds at the ends-of the
cul-de-sacs.

RE: ALTAMIRA UNIT #3
Dear Mr. Agatep:
Financial Scene Incorporated is requesting your approval of a
proposed architectural change on the above referenced project.
The changes are shown on the previously submitted drawings and
involve the following:
1. A reduction in density from 118 to 79.
2. An increase in the size of each living unit at an average of
250 square feet.
3. Decreasing the number of stacked units (one unit over the
other) and introducing two new tri-level plans.
4. The reduction in density will also reduce the parking ration,
thereby making garages necessary on one side of the street
only. Each garage will be adjacent to each living unit.
5. As the submitted plans indicate, the elevations will remain
red tile and stucco and the architectural design will be similar
to the existing buildings in Unit #3.
6. Streets, parking, the existing grading, water lines, utility lines
will remain the same except for a few minor service connection
points.
7. Landscaping will remain the same.
"wMr. Donald A. Agatep Page 2 August 7, 1975
We are making these changes because we have found some buyers
resistance to stacked units and a high demand from buyers for
larger units.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. If you should have
any questions pertaining to the above, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Very truly yours,
PACIFIC SCENE, INC.
