or or
SECTION II - STAFF BACKGROUND REPORT:
Location and Description of Property:
The Phase 5 site is similar in topography to the other'residen-
tial phases of Rancho La Cuesta, in that it is characterized
by a rolling surface from El Camino Real westward. There are
a number of lateral valleys running from north to south through
the site.
There are 45 lots proposed for the Phase 5 portion of the
development. The parcel size is approximately 15 acres. This
yields about 3 dwelling units per acre, which is about average
for the total project. Approximately 100,000 cubic yards of
grading will be required to provide these lots and the public
street system to serve them.
Because Phase 5 has been designed to function as part of the
other 4 phases, the street system is an integral part of the
circulation layout for the total project. Phase 5 includes
Arena! Road, which will be a secondary arterial with an 84-foot
right-of-way. Arenal Road will run along the entire southern
tract boundary and connect to El Camino Real. In addition to
Arenal Road, there will be three residential collector streets
adn two residential cul-de-sac streets. The residential collec-
tor streets will connect Phases 1 through 4 and Phase 5 to
Arenal Road.
Existing Zoning:
Subject Property: R-l-7500
North: E-l-A (County)
South: P-C
East: El Camino Real/RDM-R-1
West: 'P-C
Surrounding Land Use:
The property across El Camino Real to the east of the subject
property is a portion of the La Costa development and accommo-
dates condominiums and single-family residences. The remainder
of the surrounding property is vacant.
Past History and Related Cases:
Carlsbad Tract 72-34 (Rancho La Cuesta) is essentially the same
map as CT-76-7 . CT-72-34 has been extended two times and can
no longer be extended under current ordinances. Its last exten-
sion was due to expire on August 7, 1976. The applicant cited
litigation with the Coastal Commission as the reason for the
delay, and for the necessity for extension requests.
Under the last extension approval, additional conditions were
imposed and, in addition, applicant was directed to instigate
a zone change to bring a multiple residential boundary shown
on the original CT-72-34 in alignment with the established
zoning boundary shown on City zoning maps. The applicant elected
to change the multiple-residential area to single-family density
in conformance with the other portion of the subdivision.
The_jCJ ty_£puncil approved the ^zone change in June of 1976.
cr or
Additionally, certain easements were necessary along the North
Shore of the Batiquitos Lagoon(to provide for a City trunk
sewer line from El Camino Real !to the west of Rancho La Cuesta.
The acquisition of the easements outside the Rancho La Cuesta
Subdivision was not controllable by the applicant; however, the
easements were necessary prior to the finalization of the map.
Environmental Impact Information:
The subject project has been covered by the certification of
Environmental Impact Report No. 106, with supplement.
Public Facilities:
School facilities have been assured for the entire subdivision
through the bonding by the applicant of $65,052 for the Carlsbad
Unified School District.
Park-in-lieu fees have been paid and the applicant has worked
with the Parks and Recreation Department to provide an open
space corridor along El Camino Real. The open space corridor
will run the entire length of the subdivision on El Camino Real,
and will be landscaped with benches for rest areas.
Because of the possible location of a regional park located
around the Batiquitos Lagoon, the Parks and Recreation Department
has not yet decided on a City park location to acquire with
park-in-lieu fees.
Sewer connection for the entire subdivision will be provided
by a City sewer trunk line to be constructed along the North
Shore of the Batiquitos Lagoon. The Coastal Commission, as a
condition of approval for the trunk line, allowed two trunk
line connections. Rancho La Cuesta and a subdivision adjacent
to 1-5 on the western portion of the Lagoon were the only sub-
divisions allowed to connect.
SECTION III - DISCUSSION:
Carlsbad Tract 72-34, Phases 1 through 4, was finalized by the
City Council on July 6, 1976; therefore, that portion of the
development has been established. As a result, the Planning
Commission should consider Phase 5 only, since it constitutes
the only difference between the finalized map CT-72-34 and the
currently applied for Map CT-76-7.
As a practical matter, Staff considers Phase 5 of the Rancho
La Cuesta Subdivision a "grandfather" tract. It seems that since
the majority of the project has been established by finalization
of the tract map for Phases 1-4, the development pattern has
been set. Street alignments should be maintained, and street
systems substantially determine lot configuration.

Gentlemen:
Per our telephone conversation today I wish to confirm to you that it
is our desire at this time to seek approval for Phase 5 only. If at
some future date we find the necessity for new approvals of any
additional land we will apply separately for them.
We thank you for your consideration and patience in this matter.
Sincerely,
NEWPORT SHORES BUILDERS
