SUBJECT: CT 81-8/CP-151 - WALTON: CONDOMINIUM PERMIT 10 UNIT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND STATEMENT OF THE MAT This item is a request for approval of a 10 unit tentative tract map and condo- minium permit located on the west side of Santa Isabel Street, south of Alga Road in the RDM Zone. The Planning Commission found that this project meets all design criteria and development standards of the Condominium Ordinance. Also, the Planning Commission felt the project's proposed density of 18.2 dwelling units per acre was justified based on the project's recreational amenities, ocean views and compatibility with adjacent developments. Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved. FISCAL IMPACT The applicant is required to provide all necessary public improvements prior to development of the site. Also, the applicant has agreed to pay a public facil- ity fee to offset the cost of providing public services to the project. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not cause any signi- ficant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated March 25, 1981, which was approved by the Planning Commission on April 22, 1981. The environmental documents for this project are on file in the Planning Department. RECOMMENDATION Both the Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend that this application be APPROVED and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare documents APPROV- ING CT 81-8/CP-151 per Planning Commission Resolution No. 1799.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes to construct two buildings providing a total of 10 dwelling units on a previously graded .55 acre parcel located as described above. Construction of this project will require approximately 750 cubic yards of grading. The project will result in a net density of 18.2 dwelling units-per acre which is towards the high end of the General Plan designation of 10-20 du/ac for this site. The properties to. the south and north have approved tentative tract maps for similar condominium projects while the property to the west-is occupied by condominiums. A Catholic church is located on the property to the east. 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? III. DISCUSSION The subject property is located on top of a hill that slopes steeply to the west providing excellent views of La Costa and the Pacific Ocean. The applicant has designed this project so that all of the units in the westerly most building will take advantage of this view. Also, this property is somewhat higher than the property to the east and the applicant has located the other building so that the residents will have a view of the back county and a partial ocean view from'their balconies. Each of the units will have a two car garage with automatic garage door openers. Three of the five required guest parking spaces will be provided adjacent to the recreation area while the other two will be located on Santa Isabel Street, adjacent to the site. Each of the units will have at least 480 cubic feet of storage space accessible to the outdoors as required by the Condominium Ordinance. As proposed this project will have approximately 347 square feet of recreation area per unit. The main recreation area will be centrally located and consist of a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, cabana, barbeque facilities and picnic tables. In addition, a 320 square foot common patio with barbeque facilities will be constructed along the westerly edge of the property. Each unit will have four balconies with a total area of approximately 220 square feet. As shown on Exhibit "C", the trash area will be centrally located. Staff feels that this project me'ets all the development standards of the condominium ordinance. Design Criteria' As designed, staff feels the proposed project meets all of the design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance. The proposed project will be compatible with similar condominium projects under construction along Santa Isabel Street. This project has been designed to minimize the amount of paving required to serve the 10 dwelling units. The recreation 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 18.2 dwelling units per acre which approaches the maximum density designated for this site (1020 du/ac). Staff feels that this density is justified for the following reasons: 1) The project will have a substantially greater amount of recreation area than the 200 square feet per unit required by the Condominium Ordinance? 2) all of the units in one of the buildings will have an ocean view, while the other units will have partial ocean views and back country views; 3) the density of the project is compatible with the zoning and previously approved condominium projects on Santa Isabel Street. IV. 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, dated March 25, 1981. V. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Resolution No. 1799 Recommending APPROVAL OF CT 81-8/CP-151 to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. . -2- ATTACHMENTS PC Resolution No. 1799 Background Data" Sheet Location Map Disclosure Form Environmental Documents Exhibits "A"&"D" dated March 5, 1981 MH:ar -3- BACKGROUND DATA SHEET CASE NO: CT-81-8/CP-151 APPLICANT: LOCATION: Tentative tract map and major condominium permit to construct ten units on the west side of Santa Isabel Street, La Costa LEGAL DESCRIPTION: •'-0*- ^^ °* Lacost??feddows Unit No. 2 according to map No. 6905 filenpril 21, 1971 Assessors Parcel Number: 215 - 330 - 03 Acres .55 No. of Lots 1 GENERAL PLftN AND ZONING General Plan Land Use Designation Density Allowed 10-20 du/ac Density Proposed 18.2 du/ac Existing Zone RD-M Proposed Zone N/A Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: • Zoning Land Use North RP-M Tentative Map for condos South HD-M Tentative map for Condos ...•'.. • - ' - - .-. • . • ' v>> .
