PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, California, held on the 10th day of September, 1980, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: EDWIN S. SCHICK, JR., Chairman CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION ATTEST: JAMES C. HAGAMAN, Secretary CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION PC RESO #1688 — 5— STAFF REPORT DATE: September 10, 1980 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: CT-8Q-2B/CP-110 - Pullman - Request for a 17 unit tenative tract map and condominium permit on property located on the east side of Gibraltar Street, La Costa. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing to construct a 17 unit condominium project on the eastern side of Gibraltar Street near its terminus,. The proposed project is located on an irregularly shaped .98 acre parcel in the RD-M zone. This project will result in a net density of approximately 17 dwelling units per acre which is slightly less than the General Plan designation of 20- 30 dwelling units per acre for this site. The site has been previously graded and is devoid of any significant historical or environmental resources. .The site consists of two parcels which have been graded at two different levels. The northern lot is approxi- mately fifteen feet higher than the southerly lot. To minimize the amount of grading, the applicants have located all of the parking under the southerly buildings in this project. This will allow the living quarters of all buildings to be located at approximately the same level. The surrounding property is vacant to the north, south, and west, while a few single family 'homes are located to the ea,st of the project. II. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Does the project conform with the development standards of the condominium ordinance? 2) Does the project conform with the design criteria of the condominium ordinance? 7 Discussion Deve 1 opinent Standards As mentioned, the two, lots have been graded at different levels with an approximately 15 foot high 1% to 1 slope between them. Also, the easterly 20 feet of the north- erly lot and the easterly 30 feet of the southerly lot consists of an existing 1h to 1 slope. In an effort to reduce the amount of grading, the applicant proposes to locate all of the resident parking for this project underneath buildings A and B which will be constructed on the southerly lot. The parking for each of the units will be assigned so that the distance from the parking spaces to each of the units will be minimized. Although it would be more desirable to locate parking closer to the units, a redesign of the project to accomplish this would require massive regrading of the site. The applicant proposes to locate all of the required guest parking on Gibraltar Street. Staff feels that the location of these visitor parking spaces along a public street will not cause any parking pro- blems at this location because Gibraltar Street is a cul-de-sac. Also, the relationship of the visitor parking to the pedestrian access points will not encour- age residents to park in these spaces. The required storage for-each of tho units will be located in three places. Approximately 160 cubic feet of storage for each unit will be located in storage lockers and cabinets in the garages. Each of the units will also be provided with 160 cubic feet of storage closets on the ground floor patio and second story balcony. A swimming pool and spa surrounded by a deck and lawn will be centrally located so as to be readily accessible to all of the residents of this project. Also, all of the units will be provided with-balconies and patios. Five of the units will 'have patios with an area of approximately 150 square feet. With the common recreation area and the five units with large patios, this project will have more than the 200 square feet per unit of recreation space required by the condominium ordinance. Each of the units has been designed to provide laundry facilities in accordance with the condominium ordinance. Also, a common trash container for this project will be located in the parking garage near the entrance. Coast Waste Management has reviewed the plans and has supplied a letter stating that location of the trash enclosure within the garage will be satisfactory for the efficient removal of trash. — 2—' ,,„ pesign Criteria As proposed this project meets all of the design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance. Adequate parking and recreation facilities have been provided. The common recreation area will be readily accessible to all of the residents of this project. Although the parking garage will be located underneath buildings A + B as shown on Exhibit A, staff feels, the parking will be adequately accessible to the dwelling units. The orientation of the buildings, the existing slopes and heavy landscaping will screen the dwelling units from Gibraltar Street and create a sense of privacy for the patios and balconies provided for each unit. Staff feels that all other design criteria have been met, by this project. III.' RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1688 recommending approval of CT-80- 28/CP-110 to. the City Council, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
