It is suggested that Condition 18 of Resolution 1301 be reworded as follows: (18) Recreational vehicle storage is to be provided for the use of the property owners who reside within the PUD. Recreational vehicle spaces required for this PUD shall not be used for another purpose. The storage site shall be maintained by the Homeowners Association of this PUD. This change is more in keeping with the Ordinance requirement (21.45.120(6)) and gives specific direction to the applicant as to what is expected for the use, maintenance and the relation of the site to the PUD. The added condition is suggested for both the CT and PUD approving Resolutions. They are: Add Condition (8) to Resolution 1300 as follows: (8) Prior to final map approval the applicant shall secure approval of amendment to SP-38 to allow development in accordance with CT 76-17. And add Condition 20 to Resolution 1301 as follows: (20) Approval of this request is not effective until the applicant has secured approval of amendment to SP-38 to allow development in accordance with PUD-7. These added conditions are necessary since there is a Specific Plan approved and effective on this site. Planning Staff did not note this until after the legal notice had been published. The Planning Commission noted in their approval that SP-38 needed an amendment; however, the City Attorney has advised that amendment to an S.P. requires full legal notice with public hearing. Staff will process this amendment as soon as possible using information and the property owner list supplied with the application for CT 76-17 and PUD-7.

A San Diego Gas and Electric power easement runs across the northern boundary of the project. A portion of a public dedicated park lies to the south of the San Diego Gas and Electric easement.

Final maps for both units were subsequently approved. The City Council approved CT 74-11 for a portion of the Vale II area to allow 48 condominium units of 4.4 acres (City Countil Resolution No. 3509 dated September 17, 1974). This approval has expired. A partial La Costa Master Plan amendment has been approved for the subject parcel that lowers the allowable Master Plan density, up to 6.5 dwelling units per acre. General Plan Information: The Vale subdivisions were originally approved under the old General Plan. The old General Plan allowed higher densitites than the current General Plan. The current General Plan designates the area for RM-H (10-20 dwelling units per acre). Environmental Impact Information: Environmental Impact Report No. 35 was certified at the time of approval of CT 72-20 and SP-38. Supplemental information has been supplied by the applicant to the satisfaction of staff. The project therefore conforms to the Carlsbad Environmental Pro- tection Ordinance by Prior Compliance (Section 19.04.153). Public Facilities: The site is within the water and sewer service areas of the Olivenhain Municipal and Leu cadi a County Water Districts. San Dieguito Union High School District and Encinitas Elementary School Districts provide school facilities for the area. Major Planning Considerations: 1. Does the proposal conform to the General Plan and Master Plan? 2. Does the proposal conform to the basic standards and intent of the PUD section of Title 21? SECTION III: DISCUSSION It has been established in previous requests that if a project density does not exceed the General Plan allowable density it can be approved. In the case of the subject subdivision, a specific amendment to the La Costa Master Plan was adopted by the City Council to allow for a lowering of density in the subject area. As a result, staff feels that the subject requests confrom to the General Plan and Master Plan. Staff finds that the project as proposed meets the basic requirements of the Planned Unit Development development criteria. The proximity of the project to the dedicated public park site and its provision to incorporate the public and private amenities (physical ly and visually) into the project design provide a basis for the PUD concept and intent. The project will provide single family detached dwelling units .on relatively small lots. The average lot size is about 5000 sq. ft. with 50 feet of street frontage. A zero-lot-line concept will be used in building location. This method provides one wide side yard (approximately 10 ft.) and one zero-side yard. The structure is built along one side lot line (see Exhibit B). This concept maximizes the usable portion of the lot width and also allows for adequate setbacks between structures. -8- Staff is concerned, however, about one aspect of the applicant's pro- posal under the PUD concept. The applicant has informed staff that a fee is intended for the Recreational Vehicle storage facilities. The ordinance does not specifically mention fees in relation to the required storage facilities, however, staff feels that because of the small lots, some off-site provision for storage should be guaran- teed to residents of the PUD without substantial cost. Because of the precedent setting nature of this question, staff feels that the Planning Commission should make a policy decision on this matter. If the Planning Commission wishes to approve the PUD with no-cost R-V storage, a specific condition of approval providing for this would be in order. The applicant has also requested the following in regard to parks requi rements: • -Parks: "Canon Parks Units 1 to 3 represents a resubdivision of part of the La Costa Vale II subdivision.' Technically, the dedication required for this park on the new subdivision, as we calculate it, would be 3.47 acres, less .87 acres because of a 25% credit for private amenities, or 2.6 acres. However, this property has already contributed r.35 acres, through the previous Vale II Canon Park dedication. As part of the applica- tion for this map, we inform you that we will request that the City Council waive any further park requirement for this project. Further, while we realize that under your Attorney's opinon, La Costa can re- ceive no specific credit for the 1.75 additional acres, we certainly think that in considering this total project that the facts above should be recognized." The Parks and Recreation Director has reviewed this request and concurs with the applicant. TH:mdp ' ' (12/3/76) '-. • Attachments: Exhibits B(l) - a, b, c and d.
