DEPARTMENT: Planning Department SUBJECT: : PROPOSED CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT OF LA COSTA Statement of the Matter Architect Dale Naegle, on behalf of the La Costa Land Company, wishes to discuss questionable effects of the recent condominium ordinance on a particular condominium proposed in La Costa. This is a 48 unit condominium which was designed prior to the condominium ordinance being adopted. The City cannot accept the plans for processing at this time due to the planning moratorium. This site is on Casa del Mar Road near the Spa. It is our understanding that the proposal is a part .-of a 96 unit complex to be developed later. Most of the units are to be studios with some one-bedrooms. The units are to.be privately owned, but can be used by the Spa as reserve hotel rooms. Evidently the units were designed to the R-D-M zone; parking is at a ratio of 1.5 spaces per unit, whereas the condominium ordinance requires two spaces plus visitor parking. Also, the units or garages do not contain storage area. The problem of resort oriented condominiums was discussed by the Planning Commission at their hearings on the condominium ordinance. Staff, at the Planning Commission's request, prepared an alternative that would have provided for reduction in parking requirements for those condominiums oriented to outdoor recreation such as at La Costa or the beach. However, the Planning Commission rejected this alternative because they did not wish double standards. From staff's review it appears that relatively minor modifications to the plan could bring it into conformance to the condominium ordinance. This could be done by combining some of the bachelor units into larger units, thus reducing the amount of required spaces.
