SECTION II: STAFF BACKGROUND REPORT
October 15, 1975
CASE NO.: CT 75-8
APPLICANT: REGAN CONSTRUCTION CO.
*• REQUEST; The applicant requests approval of a 22 unit
condominium project.
II. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY; The southwest
corner of Washington Street and Pine Avenue (see attached
location map). A dwelling exists on part of the site.
The remainder is an uncultivated field.
III. EXISTING ZONING;
Subject Property: R-3
North: R-3
East: M
South: R-3
West: R-3
IV. EXISTING LAND USE:
Subject Property: Single Family Dwelling
North: Single Family Dwelling
East: Railroad right-of-way
South: Apartments; avocado orchard
West: Single Family Dwelling
V. PAST HISTORY AND RELATED CASES; CT 74-9, a 16 unit condo-
minium project on .9 acres located on the northwest corner
of Chestnut and the railroad right-of-way, was approved
by the City Council on September 17, 1974.
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT INFORMATION: An Environmental Impact
Assessment of the project was conducted and a negative
declaration (nonsignificant impact) issued September 5,
1975 for the following reasons:
1. The project is located in an existing urbanized
area with all utilities installed.
2. The project entails minimal grading.
-3-
VII. GENERAL PLAN INFORMATION: The project site is designated
for RH (residential high density use in the Land Use
Element, 20-30 dwelling units per acre). The density of
the proposed project is 21.7 dwelling units per acre.
The project site is within the noise contour of the rail-
road right-of-way adopted in the Noise Element. Attenuation
measures are therefore required. As described in the Noise
Element Action Program 2.3, these measures include setbacks,
construction of barriers and sound insulation.
VIII. PUBLIC FACILITIES; Sewer and water service will be supplied
by the City of Carlsbad. The project falls within the
Carlsbad Unified School District which has sent the City a
letter approving the project, and guaranteeing adequate
school facilities (attached).
U. MAJOR PLANNING CONSIDERATION: Are adequate public facilities
provided in conformance with the Public Facilities Element?
K. INCIDENTAL INFORMATION: This project requires approval
from the Coastal Commission.
All affected departments and agencies have contributed
Input to and reviewed this report.
SECTION III: DISCUSSION
Under the City's Subdivision Ordinance, review of condominium
projects is limited to the provision of public facilities. Since
the project is located in an urbanized area with all facilities
available, this consideration poses no problems.
Staff's major concern is that noise from the adjacent railroad
tracks be attenuated. The recommended condition that a further
noise study be made and its attenuation measures incorporated in
the project design should take care of this concern.
