I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing to construct a 14 unit condominium development on the south side of Navarra Drive adjacent to the La Costa Country Club Golf Course on a .49 acre parcel. The project will result in a net density of 28.6 dwelling units per acre which is near the high end of the General Plan density range of 20-30 dwelling, units per acre for this site. The site has been previously graded and slopes gently to the north. Condominiums have been constructed on the adjacent property to the east. The property to the north and west is vacant while the La Costa Country Club Golf Course is located on the property to the south. +, 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? Discussion Development Standards The applicant proposes to construct this project as a total security building. Access to the parking garage which will be located underneath the condominiums will be via an electronically operated security gate with a security phone system to the units. As shown on Exhibit "C", 32 parking spaces will be provided in this parking area. Three of these spaces will be utilized to fulfill the guest parking requirements of the condominium ordinance. The guest parking spaces within the garage will be plainly marked and located near the entrance to the garage. Three additional guest parking spaces will be available on Navarra Drive in front of the project. People utilizing the parking 7 garage will be able to reach their dwelling units via an elevator or stairway. The garage has also been designed to allow for golf carts leading from the garage up to the golf course. As proposed, this project will have substantially more than the 200 square feet of recreation area per unit required by the condominium ordinance. Each of the nine two story units will have a private patio area. Each'Of these units will also have a second story balcony with an area of approximately 100 square feet. The five penthouse units will each have large decks in excess of 200 square feet. Also, a large community sunning deck with a bar will be located on the bridge level (third floor). The applicant proposes to construct a swimming pool and Jacuzzi adjacent to a large deck on the plaza level (first floor), Each of the units will also have at least 480 cubic? feet of storage accessible to the outdoors as required by the condominium ordinance. As shown on Exhibit "C" , a trash enclosure will be located adjacent to the entrance to the parking garage. Staff feels that this project meets all the development standards of the condominium ordinance. Design Cjriteria As designed, staff feels the subject project meets all of the design criteria of the condominium ordinance. The proposed project will be compatible with the surrounding high density residential development along Navarra Drive. The recreational areas are centrally located and are conveniently accessible to all of the units. The applicant is requesting that the Commission approve the project at a density of 28.6 dwelling units per acre which approaches the maximum density of the General Plan land use designation of the site (20-30 du/acre). Staff feels that this density is justified for the following reasons: 1) Substantial on-site amenities are being provided including underground parking and a substantially greater amount of recreation area than the 200 square foot per unit minimum required by the condominium ordinance; 2) the subject site is located near and the project will be designed to allow the residents to utilize the La Costa Country Golf Course; and 3) the density of the project is also compatible with existing and approved developments and' surrounding zoning. III. Environmental Review The Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a significant impact on the environment and therefore has issued a negative declaration on November 5, 1980. IV, RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the negative declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Resolution No. 1726, recommending APPROVAL of CT 80-41/CP-135, to the City Council, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
