Prior to hearing the matter;the Council considered adoption of the new Planned Com- munity Zone. Therefore, certain elements of the Proposed La Cos- Master Plan were not consistent with the new zone. Council actic directed Staff to return the Master Plan to insure cornpliance with the new Planned Community Ordinance. The Council further ci-irected Staff to proceed with a partial Vaster Plan Amendment which would allow three areas to be processed independent of the total revision. The Partial Amendment involved the areas known as Santa Fe Knolls, Rancheros de La Costa, and a resubdivision of a portion of La Costa Vale Unit No. 2. The City Council re- quested a Planning Commission report on the Partial Amendment. In addition, the Planning Commission recommended on September 22 1976 that a fourth area, a portion of Green Valley Knolls, be included with the proposed Partial Amendment. The Staff has reviewed the proposed Partial Amendment with the requirements of the new Planned Comnunity Zone and recommends th following report and recommendation to the City Council: SECTION I. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends a partial amendment to MP-l49(A) be approved fo the following reasons and subject to the following conditions: FI NDI PIGS - : 1, General Plan ConsLtency: The proposed amendment to the La Costa Master Plan is consistent with the General Plan becaus 4 0 e a.

SECTION 11: BACKGROUND REPORT Location and Description of Properties: 1. Santa Fe Knolls: Approximately 160 acres easterly of Rancho Santa Fe Road and La Costa Avenue intersection. 2. Rancheros de La Costa: Approximately 325 acres easter' of and adjacent to El Fuerte and southerly of proposed Alga Roal extensi on. 3.

Portion of Creen Valley Knolls: Subject Parcel - P-c North East, and South - P-c West - County of San Dieqo Past History and Related Cases: The Planning Commission recommended adoption of the Major Master Plan Amendment, May 19, 1976. However, at the June 15, 1976 Citj Council Hearinq, the Council adopted the new Planned Community Zone which then rendered the Proposed La Costa Master Plan non- conforming with the new zone. Therefore, at the request of the aDplicant, the Master Plan amenc ment was divided into two parts: 1. Partial Amendment to allow three areas to proceed (Santc 2. A Major Amendment that would insure the new Master Plan Fe Knolls, Rancheros de La Losta and La Costa Vale Unit No. 2). Amendment is consistent with the new P-C zone. The Council, therefore, requested Planning Commission Report on this criterion. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed re- subdivision of Lots 221-225 of CT 75-7, Green Valley Knolls. As .part of the hearing, the staff outlined a technical difference be tween the Adopted Specific Plan (provides for RDM development, lr 20 dwelling units per acre) and the proposed re-subdivision. In considering the re-subdivision, the Planning Commission felt that a fourth area should be added to the Partial Amendment to insure .that the General Plan and the proposed zoning are consistent. Therefore, the Planning Commission is recommending that the Porti of Green Valley Knolls involving4 Lots 221-225 of CT 75-7 be addea A -5- , 0 to the Partial Amendment report as requested by Council action of June 15, 1976. General Plan Information: The Land Use and Circulation Element of the General Plan were amended in April 1976. The April amendment made the following changes : 1. Santa Fe Knolls Area: Land use from Residential Medium density (R-PI), 4-10 dwelling units per acre, to Residential Low Medium density (RLM), included specific location for a High School site and a realign- ment of Mision Estancia east of Rancho Santa Fe Road. The major discrepancy is the Master Plan as adopted in 1973 is conflicting with the General Plan. The Master Plan pro- vides for Mobile Home Estates, Elementary and Junior High School! and a different alignment of the east-west thoroughfare, Mision Estancia. 2. Rancheros de La Costa: No significant change - major reduction in density from Residential Los density (R-L), 0-2 dwelling units per acre, to specific Master Plan density of minimum 1 dwelling unit per 2 acres, average 2 dwelling units per 5 acres. 3. La Costa Vale Unit No. 2: There was no change to residential density in the April General Plan amendment. The change that occurs involves a re- subdivision of the existing development, and a concurrent reduc- tion in density. Specific identification of proFosed La Costa neighbor- hood (Canyon Park) and the proposed 28 - acre community park sit and their general location and method of acquisition. This re- quirement was initially required by the La Costa Annexation Or- di nance of 1972. 4. 5. Portion of Green Valley Knolls: The proposed re-subdivision of approximately 7 acres in volves dividing existing Lots 221-225, averaging 1.6 acres, into 18 10,000 square foot lots. The purpose of the re-subdivision i .to provide 70,000 square foot 'lots for residential units that wi be used as a model compound for the Green Valley Knolls single family development. The inconsistency arises when considering t -l -6- j * -0 .. existing La Costa Master Plan and General Plan land use recom- mendations, multiple family residential 10-20 dwelling units per acre and the provision of the RDM zone which allows single family detached residential units. There is a total reduction in units proposed - 18, compared to a potential for 78 dwelling units, as allowed by the Master Plan. Staff and the Planning . cant and will not materially affect the requirements for public I Commission feel that the unit reduction on 7 acres is not signifi- facilities. Pub1 ic Faci 1 i ties: The projects fall within the general service boundaries of Leucad. County Water District (Sewer), Carlsbad Municipal Water District, Olivenhain Water District, San Dieguito Union High School, Encin- itas Elementary and San Marcos Unified High School. In each case, public facilities are currently provided to or adja cent to the three project areas. Off-site facilities are require i.e., road, sewer, and water for Santa Fe Knolls; the applicant a a condi-tion of approval, will be required to provide the facilit! concurrent with development. Fire service, police, library service is currently available al- though additional facilities and improvements will be addressed as part of the Major La Costa Amendment. Park sites have been identified in the entire La Costa Master Pla area and a parks agreement is currently being reviewed by the C-il to insure timely dedication and improvement to meet service demar Generally speaking, the park proposal involves one neighborhood park (Canyon Park), approximately 11 acres t in size and one Com- munity Park in the viciyity of Santa Fe Knolls which will be approximately 28 acres -in size. AS part of the proposed Partial Amendment, the locations of the above referenced parks and their method of dedication would be rf Major Planning Consideration: Does the proposed Partial Master Plan Amendment satisfy the re- quirements of the new Planned Community Zone? - SECTION 111.

One remaining area of the Rancheros - lot 69 - 61.7 acres will be subject to subsequent action which will require an amendment to the proposed Master Plan. Special development of street sections in the Rancheros could provide for rural type streets instead of standard residential streets typical of normal R-1 subdivisions if a Planned Unit Development (PUD) process is used. The' Rancheros also will provide an internal, privately maintain equestrian system. Lot 69 and other internal facilities will b maintained by the applicant or his successor .in interest. Public services are available and the economic impacts will be balanced by the tax revenues generated from the development. ~~~~~~-reilt ~3 th the development of the Rancheros, wiil construct an of-; site east-west extension of Corintia Stre( from E] ~uerte Street to Rancho Santa Fe Road - thereby Providi' an additional east-west connection between major arterials, A1gi ~oad and Rancho Santa Fe Road. The deletion of the Junior High School site from the Rancheros wa accomplished during the General Plan Land Use Amendment in 1973. The Rich Man School District (extinct) indicated that a preferrec site would be east of Rancho Santa Fe Road. Therefore, the site the zPP1icant # -9- a -0 .. * has been deleted from the Master Plan Area. By letter from the newly formed San Marcos Unified School District (attached), the district has indicated the proposed Master Plan is consistent wit their school planning program. 3. La Costa Vale Unit No. 2: The Master Plan Change involves: Del e te Add Land Use: Elementary School Medium Density dential The deletion of the La Costa Vale eleinentary school site was re commended Originally, La Costa Vale was subdivided to provide for multiple family or condominium development. The proposal now involves .a . resubdivision of land and necesszry regrading to allow for the development of a modified single-family detached residential Planned Unit Development (PUD). All publid facilities are currently provided or insured as part of the previous subdivision; therefore, additional facilties are not anticipated. 4. Portion of Green Valley Knolls The Master Plan Change involes a reduction in density from Medium High Density 74 dwelling units per acre to low Density, 4 dwelling units per acre. Tge proposal provides for the re-subdivisfon of approximately 7- acres into 18 single family lots minimum 10,000 square feet. Originally p?anned to be a multiple family project adjacefit to - El Camino Real, the project now involves a re-subdivision to provide for a model sales compound. The Partial Amendment would state on Lots 221-225 of Green Val- ley Knolls; CT 75-7 that: development to be accomplished as a standard R-1 project with 10,000 square feet minimum lots. All other conditions of the Specific Plan for Green Valley Knolls (SP-171) will be retained. d -10- 0 0 Schools: The Partial Amendment includes only those school sites directly affected by a land use change. There are several other school and park sites shown on the 1972 Master Plan which will be deleted and replaced in new locations at such time the Over- all Amendment to the La Costa Master Plan is accomplished.
