ATTY. \)t~~A DEPARTMENT. PLANNING CTY. MGR.^ Offr*w SUBJECT: /U UNIT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND CUNDUMINIUM PERMIT; NORTHWEST CORNER OF ALICANTE ROAD AND ALTISMA WAY, SOUTH OF CARINGA WAY. CASE NO: CT 81-21/CP-167 APPLICANT: CARINGA INVESTMENTS STATEMENT OF THE MATTER; This item is a request for approval of a 70 unit tentative tract map and condominium permit on 5.14 acres of land. The proposed density for the project is 13.54 dwelling units per acre, which is below the mid-range of the general plan density of 10-20 dwelling units per acre designated on this site. The Planning Commission found that this project meets all development standards and design criteria of the Condominium Ordinance. Also, the Planning Commission believed that the project's density of 13.54 dwelling units per acre could be justified based on the project's amenities and its compatibility with surrounding development. Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved. FISCAL IMPACT The applicant will provide all required public improvements to the project. Also, the applicant has agreed to pay a public facilities fee to offset the costs of providing all other public services. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated July 15, 1981, which was approved by the Planning Commission on August 12, 1981. A copy of the environmental documents is 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 APPROVING CT 81-21/CP-167, per Planning Commission Resolution No. 1847.

I.PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval of a tentative subdivision map and condominium permit to develop 70 units on 5.14 acres, located, as described above. The subject property is comprised Of four lots, previously graded to form one large pad. The project site is elevated approximately 20-30 feet above Alicante Road, 5-15 feet.above Altisma Way and relatively on-grade with Caringa Way. The applicant is proposing to construct 30 two-bedroom flats, 31 two bedroom townhouses and 9 three-bedroom penthouse units. Entrances on Alicante Road, Altisma Way and two on Caringa Way would provide access to four underground garages. The proposed density for the project is 13.54 dwelling units per acre which is towards the low end of the General Plan density of 10-20 dwelling units per acre. II. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Does the project meet all development standards of the condominium ordinance? 2) Does the project satisfy all aspects of the design cri- teria of the condominium ordinance? III. BACKGROUND The proposed development fulfills the basic development standards of the condominium ordinance. All resident and guest parking, in excess of code requirements, would be provided in four under- ground garages. Enclosed storage space would be located at the end of each.unit's respective parking spaces. Trash enclosures would be placed at each driveway entrance. ov each unit would have individual laundry facilities and a private deck and/or patio. A common recreation core would include two pools, Jacuzzis and recreation rooms located around a tennis court. Open recreation requirements would be satisfied by this combination of private and common areas; 260 square feet per unit would be provided. Additional seating areas would be provided along the concrete deck adjacent to the units. The proposed development also satisfies all aspects of the design criteria of the condominium ordinance. The overall plan appears well designed. The recreation area, buildings.and parking facil- ities are well integrated. The units are sited to maximize golf course views. The project would provide all pertinent amenities and be compatible with surrounding land uses. Also, staff be- lieves the project's proposed density of 13.54 dwelling units per acre can be justified because of the substantial amenities pro- vided. Staff is satisfied that all aspects of the development standards and design criteria of the condominium ordinance have been met, as shown on the attached exhibits. IV.
