SUBJECT:
STATEMENT OF E+T _-” VATTEf. .- -_.. -
\
The subject site is located at the southwest corner of Alga Road and Santa Isabel
Street in the La Costa area. The request is for an eight unit condominium on
0.59 acres of land.
The Planning Commission amended the staff recommendation by modifying Condition 9
by requiring the applicant to build a five foot fence rather than the forty-two
inch decorative wall and deleting the term “block“ from the decorative wall.
This will allow t.he applicant.to build a stuccoed wall more in keeping with the
design of the buildings.
The Planning Cormnission has added a Condition No. 6 requiring the applicant to
submit plans for a trash enclosure. These modifications are to the satisfaction
of the planning staff.
Through the staff review and Planning Commission hearing all issues on this matter
have been satisfactorily resolved.

Findings
The project is consistent with the City's General Plan Land Use Element since the project conforms to the land use designation for this area and qualifies for an increased density based on the on-site amenities provided.
The site is physically suitable for the type, density and design of the development since the property is adequate in size and topography to accommodate the project and still meet all of the city's condominium and subdivision regulations without any significant environmental impacts.
The project is consistent with all city public facility
policies and ordinances since:
The applicant is on the Leucadia County Water District's
sewer allocation list, and eisht sewer hookups have
been reserved for the project.
The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and
payment of the fee will enable this body to find that
public facilities will be available concurrent with need
as required by the General Plan.
School rees to mitigate conditions of overcroivding are required at the time of building permits pursuant to Chapter 21.55 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
All necessary public improvements have either been
provided or will be required as conditions of approval.
The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an
appropriate condition to this condominium permit and tentative subdivision map, insured that the final map will not be approved unless the City Council finds
that sewer service is available to serve the project.
In addition, the Planning Con-mission has added a condition that a note be placed on the final map that building permits may not be issued for the condominium project unless the City Engineer determines that sewer service is available. Since the final nap cannot be approved unless sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, the Planning Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the public facilities element of the General Plan have been met
insofar as they apply to sewer service for this condominium permit and tentative map approval.

The design of the project grid all required improvements
will not cause any significant environmental impacts, and
a Declaration of Negative Environmental Impact has been issued by the Planning Director on March 4, 1980, Log No, 653.
The proposed condominium project meets the criteria of
Chapter 21.47 (Condominiums) since:
a) The condominiums meet the design criteria of Chapter 21.47.110 since the overall plan is comprehensive, embracing land, building, landscaping and their relationships, the driveways are not dominant
features, and sufficient circulation and on-site amenities are provided.
b) Storage space, laundry facilities, open recreation
areas, parking facilities, refuse areas, separate
utilities and requirements of Section 21.47.130
have been met or will be conditions of approval.
The design of the subdivision and type of improvements
will not cause any serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not conflict with easements for public use of public access through the subject property.

STAFF REPORT
DATE : April 9, 1980
TO : Planning Commission
FRO14 : Bill Hofman, Associate Planner 6,~.
SUBJECT: CT 80-4/CP-52 - EGIFJTOX - Reauest for an 8 unit
condominium. permit and tentative airspace subdivision located on the southwest corner of Mga Road and
Santa Isabel Street in I,a Costa.
I.
'. 11.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting ar, 8 unit condominium permit and tentative airspace subdivision at the above described location. The site has been previously graded and the building pad is elevated approxiKately
10' above Alga Road. One driveway off of Santa Isabel
Street will provide access to the units as shown on Exhibit "A". Each unit is two stories in height and! has a two car garage. The units range in area from
1064 to 1947 square feet.
ANALY S I S
Planning Issues
1. Does the project provide suffi.cient amenities to justify the proposed density of 15 d.u's/acre?
2. Does this project meet all design criteria?
Discussion
The major issue associated with this project is whether
sufficient amenities have been provided to justj-fy the proposed density of 15 du/s/acre. The General Plan designates this site as medium-high density residential which allows 10 dwelling units per acre, and up to 20 Cwelling units per acre if certain criteria are met. The criteria include such things as slope of land, soil stability, corqmtibility with surrounding lar,d uses and on site amenities. The applicant has provided on site amenities over and above the requirements of the
Condominium Ordinance. Specifically, he has prcvided a
1500 square foot common recreational area which includes
a 336 square foot swinming pool and spa. Also, private
patios have been provided for every unit. Staff feels
that thc amount and type of on site amenities provided justify the proposed density of 15 du's/ncre.
In terms of design criteria, staff’s major concern is the buffering of the recreational area from Alga Road
and the driveway. Since the level of the recreational
area is 10’ above Alga Road, the visual inpact of a major street will be minirriized. Staff is recopmending
a condition, however, requiring a 42 inch decorative
wall along the entire perimeter of the recreational
area to serve both as a visual screen and noise buffer.
Further, staff is recommending a condition requiring a detailed landscape and irrigation plan indicating planting materials to visually screen the recreational area from both the driveway and Alga Road. Vith these modifications, staff is satisfied that the recreational area is sufficiently buffered from any traffic impacts
and that the project meets all design criteria.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1620 reconmending APPROVAL - of CT 80-4/CP-42 to the City Council based on the findings and conditions
contained therein.
