Past History and Reflated gases:
City Council approved CT 72-20 and SP-38, Vale Units 2 and 3, on
June 5, 1973 (Resolution 3128 and 3129). Final maps for both Units
were subsequently approved. The present proposal is a resubdivision
of a portion of Unit 3. The existing La Costa Master Plan, adopted
by City Council, January 15, 1974, designates the site for residential
use, 6.2 dwellings per acre.
Environmental Impact Information:
EIR-35 was certified at the time of approval of CT
EIR identified the following adverse environmental

1. To decrease the amount of natural, undeveloped land in the City '
of Carlsbad by 290 acres, of which.42 acres will be retained as
natural one-half acre lots and 13 acres as a park lot.
2. A minimal decrease in water quality associated with runoff
from urban areas (fertilizer from lawns, hydrocarbons and
metals from streets, and others).
3. To increase traffic on La Costa Avenue, Rancho Santa Fe Road
and other roads.
4. A minimal increase in ?.ir and noise pollution associated with
the increased traffic.
•
5. A temporary increase in noise associated with construction of
the. project.
6. A minimal increase in demand for public utilities.
7. To decrease the available wildlife habitat'in the area and to
displace wildlife from the graded portions of the project site.
EIR-35 is available for review in the Planning Department.
The applicant submitted with his application Supplemental Environ-
mental Information for La Costa Vale Unit 4, which is attached. That
document identified one environmental impact not fully covered in the
original EIR - noise from Rancho Santa Fe'Road. Mitigation of that
impact has been made a condition of .Specific Pl.an approval.
The project therefore conforms with the Carlsbad Environmental Pro-
tection Ordinance by Prior Compliance (Section 19.04.15J).
General Plan Information: . •
The Vale Subdivision was priginally approved under the old General
Plan, which allowed a higher density than the City's new General
Plan. The new Land Use El'ement designated the project site for
Residential Medium-High density (10-20 dwellings/acre). The amend-
ments to the Land Use Element recently recommended for approval
by the Planning Commission designate the site for RLM use, 0-4
dwellings per acre. The Project's density of 3.2 dwellings per
acre is within this range.
PUblic Facilities:
The project is within the water and sewer service areas of the Oliven-
hain Municipal and Leucadia County Water Districts, respectively.
Both Districts have indicated that service capacity is -available.
The project is within the Encinitas Elementary School and San Dieguito
Union High School Districts. Both Districts have assured Staff that
capacity is available for students living in the project area.

COPY
Incidental Information:
The applicant's recent request to. dispose of rock from Vale #3
excavation onto Lot 115, which has been approved by the Engineer-
ing Department, may limit use of this lot.
Major Planning Considerations:
Is the change in development program appropriate in terms of land
usage?
Are the substandard frontage lots (panhandles) acceptable in terms
of ,ti ty pol icy?
DISCUSSION
Open Space:
Lot 117, as designated on Exhibit "B", is covered by the San Marcos
Canyon Agreement between the City and the applicant. Staff, therefore,
recommends that it be reserved for open space and maintained as
outlined in the recommended conditions of approval. The lot is an
open space, as opposed to a private park and therefore is not eligi-
ble for the potential 25% park fee credit.
Open Space Maintenance:
The project includes three typical open space maintenance situations:
the SDG&E open space corridor, man-made slopes adjacent public rights-
of-way, and a portion of San.Marcos Canyon. As outlined in Specific
Plan Condition 8, staff recommends that the first two situations be
maintained through an Open Space Maintenance District. These areas
are generally of community-level interest and are therefore suitable
for maintenance by a District. •

City-wide interest and should therefore be
Panhandle Lots
The Commission should note that Lots 11, 28, 30, 31, 36, 48 and 89
have substandard street frontage. Given the alignments of Espera
and Cadencia Streets from CT 72-20, the proposed map appears to
make the most efficient use of the land. Staff feels that the seven
panhandle lots included are therefore appropriate.
Satisfactionof Parks Requirement:
The applicant satisfied the Parks requirement for Vale Units 2 &
3 together at the time their final map was approved. The require-
ment (9.85 acres) was satisfied through the dedication of 12+ acres
of Park land in Unit 2.
°l
The Subdivision Ordinance requires satisfaction of the Parks require-
ment for any subdivision. Therefore, Vale #4 will be. required to
satisfy the Parks requirement even though park land was dedicated
for Vale #4 when Vale #4 was a portion of the Vale 2 & 3 final map.
To avoid this inequity, staff proposes that that portion of Vale #3's
final map now known as Vale #4 be reverted to acreage. With reversion
to acreage, the City can credit La Costa with that portion of the park
land dedication attributable to Vale #4 (1.69 acres). The new sub-
division of Vale #4, if given final map approval before a Master
Parks Agreement is adopted, will require the payment of park fees since
only park land within the boundaries of a subdivision may be used to
meet the parks requirement.
When a Master Parks Agreement is adopted, the 1.69 acre "credit" can
be applied to a subsequent subdivsion, as can the balance of the 12 +
acres dedicated over the original 9.85 acres required.
Development Requirements: •
At its hearing of this matter on April 28, 1976, the Commission dis-
cussed several development requirements with the applicant and staff.
Staff has prepared a memorandum on these issues as a separate report
for further Commission discussion.
