The recommended conditions-con the pert-inent conditions necessary to ensure compliance with the EIR. General ?l an Information: The Land Use Element designates tile project site for Residential Low--FI (0-4 dwellings/acre), Open Space, and High School uses. The project c Toriils with these designations (residential. density 3.0 dwellings/acre). Pub1 ic Faci 1 i ties: The project site is located within the service area boundaries of the Olivenhain Mun-iciyal and Leucadia County Wa.ter Districts (water and sc respectively). It is within the Encinitas Elementary and San Dieguito Unio?' High School Districts. Incidenti a1 Information: -____ Exhibit. "A" includes a future.subdivision to the west of the High Scho site. That subdivision is not under consideration and has not been evaluated. -7- a -0 '" Major PI anriing ____- Considerations: (1) Have adequate High School and park sites been provided for? (2) Have adequate provisions been made to protect manufactured slope areas? DISCUSSION Park Site: The La Costa Master Plan has designated an area across Mission Estancia from the proposed subdivision for a 283- acre conimunity park site. The parks agreement between the applicant and the City requires the dedica of a 12.5 acre portion of that park site with this subdivision. (Note Exhibit "A" as printed shows a 5.5 acre site). Staff has inspected th 12.5 acre portion proposed for dedicat-ion at this time and believes it acceptable. The site includes the old adobe remains of the stage coac stop, a stand of larger trees and some flat areas for active recreatio High School Site: The San Dieguito Union High School District, in the attached letter of November 12,- 1976, has requested the inclusion of the high school site this tract map. The Public Facilities Element of the General Plan requires that public facilities, including schools, be available to developing areas concur with need. The affected High School District, through its letter, has indicated its need for the site with this subdivision. Planning Staff therefore recGmmends the inclusion of the site in the subdivision at t time. The State Map Act allows local government to require the dedication of elementary school sites as required by Boards of Education (Section 66 et seq.). The Act does not include High School sites in this section, however. In the absence of specific state enabling legislation, staff worded Condition 18 to reflect the same time constraints as the Map Ac puts upon elementary school sites. Should the High Schocl District not reach an agreement with the applic within 30 days of final council action on the tentative map, then the map would not need include the High School site. The site would remai cornmiLted to ultimate High School use through the General Plan Land Us Element and La Costa's Master Plan. Slope Maintenance: The proposed subdivision will require a fairly substantial amount of grading (approximately 3,200 cubic yards per residential lot). This grading wiil result in manUfdCtUred slopes adjacent public rights-of- way, and adjacent a future open space (lots 171-174). -8- e -0 Staff has included Conditions 3-8 to ensure a.dcquate slope maintcnancl The Planning Commission recommended approval of the formation of an Opr Space Maintenance District for Green Valley Knolls on October 27, 1976 (Resolution No. 1278). The Council ha.s not yet acted on th'at recommeni tion. The formation of such a district for the proposed subdivision ir complicated by the desire of the High School District tc be included ii the maintenance district. The High School District has requested inclusion because of the manufal slopes occurring on the H-igh Sc.hool slope as a result of the grading 0' the'subdivision. Staff is not at this time prepared to take a positioi on .the High School District's request, and has worded Condition 8 acco' ingly.
