1 Findings;
2 1) The project is consistent with the city's General Plan since
the proposed density of 16.2 du/acre is within the density
3 range of 10-20 du/acre specified for the site as indicated in
the Land Use Elenent of the General Plan and can be justified
4 for the reasons stated in the staff report.
5 2) The site is physically suitable for the type and density of
the development since the site is adequate in size and shape
6 • to accommodate residential development at the density pro-
p6sed and still meet all of the requirements of the Condomin-
7 ium Ordinance.
8 3) The project is consistent with all city public facility poli-
cies and ordinance's since:
9 • - '
a) The Leucadia County Water .District has allocated suffi-
10 cient sewer connections for 'the project.
11 b) The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appro-
priate condition to this condominium permit and tenta-
12 , ' tive subdivision map, insured that the final map will
not be approved unless the City Council finds that sewer
13 service is available to serve the project. In addition,
the Planning Commission has added a condition that a
14 note shall be placed on the final map that building per-
mits may not be issued for the condominium project un-
15 less the City Engineer determines that sewer service is
available, and building cannot occur within the project
16 unless sewer service remains available, the Planning
Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the
17 public facilities element of the General Plan have been
met insofar as they apply to sewer service for this ten-
18 tative map and condominium permit approval.-
19 c. School facilities will be provided by the San Marcos
School District.
20 . .
d. Park-in-Lieu fees are required as a condition of appro-
21 val.
22 e. All necessary public improvements have been provided or
will be required as conditions of approval.
23
f. The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclu-
24 sion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facili-
ties fee. Performance of that contract and payment of
25 the fee will enable this body to find that public facil-
ities will be available concurrent with.need as required
26 by the General Plan.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 24, 1981
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: CT 81-18/CP-164 - G. R. CAPITAL, INC. - Request for a 28
unit tentative tract map and condominium permit on pro-
perty located on the north side of Unicornio Street
between Cacatua Street and El Fuerte Street in the RD-M
Zone. -
.1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 28 unit condominium
project involving five occupied buildings with six small multi-
garage buildings situated around the project perimeter on a 1.72
acre parcel as described above. Construction of this project
will require approximately 2f500 cubic yards of earthwork, pri-
marily for foundation purposes. The project will result in a net
density of 16.2 dwelling units per acre, slightly above the mid-
dle of the allowable density range for this area. The property
to the north, south, and east is vacant, while that to the west
is occupied by a 9 unit condominium. With the exception of pro-
perty to the north (R-1-7500), all surrounding parcels are zoned
for multiple-family residential development.
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
Development Standards •
The subject property is located near the crest gf a hill that
slopes mildly to the north, providing a pleasurable view for many
of the units. Additionally, as proposed, a large landscaped rec-
reation area dominates the center of the project. As shown on
Exhibit "B", the development has been designed around these two
features.
-,•„,„>
For many of the units, resident parking is provided directly be-"
low the living quarters. For the remainder, all covered parking
spaces are well within 150 feet (112 feet maximum) of their
respective unit. Four visitor parking spaces will be located on
site with six additional spaces available on Unicornio Street.
Buildings one and two will contain two stories, housing six flats
each. Two semi-underground garages will be located under the
outside units adjacent to the drives. Building four will contain
six flats within two stories, and buildings three and five will
each include five two-story townhouses over private garages.
Each building will conform to the 35-foot height limit for the
area.
As proposed, each unit will possess private laundry facilities, a
minimum of 480 cubic feet of storage space provided within the
garages, and approximately 237 square feet of recreation area
including private balconies, common pool, spa, cabana, and barbe-
que area. This common recreation area will be centrally located,
and essentially will act as the focal point of the development.
A decorative, six foot high block wall will confine each trash
enclosure, located to the front of the outside garage structures.
Staff feels that this project meets all the development standards
of the condominium ordinance.
Design Criteria
The proposed project also satisfies all design criteria aspects
as defined in the Condominium Ordinance. The project appears
basically well designed and will be compatible with similar exis-
ting projects in the area. The recreation area is well integra-
ted into the project, is easily accessible, linked to all build-
ings through a logical series of walkways, and is the single most
dominant feature of the development. Additionally, the project
has been designed to minimize the amount of paving by placing
parking areas towards the less conspicuous outside perimeter of
the project.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan specifies medium-high
residential density for this property (10-20 du/ac). Staff feels
that the proposed density of this development at 16.2 du/ac is
justified for the reason that the overall project is well de-
signed, utilities a maximum advantage of views', open spaces, and
recreation areas, and that this density is compatible with pre-
viously approved projects in the area.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will not
have a significant impact upon the environment and therefore has
issued a Negative Declaration on June 1, 1981.

.V. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Nega-
tive Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Plan-
ning Commission Resolution No. 1826, recommending APPROVAL of CT
81-18/CP-164, to the City Council based on the findings and sub-
ject to the conditions contained therein.
