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.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
Commission as follows:
(A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
(B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing,
the Commission recommends APPROVAL of CT-81-21/CP-167, based
on the following findings and subject to the following
conditions:
Findings
1) The project is consistent with the city's General Plan since
the proposed density of 13.6 du's/acre is within the density
3 range of 10-20 du's/acre specified for the site as indicated
on the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
4
2) The site is physically suitable for the type and density of
5 the development since the site is adequate in size and shape
to accommodate residential development at the density pro—
6 posed.
3) The project is consistent with all city public facility pol-
icies and ordinances since:
8
a) The Planning Commission hasr by inclusion of an appro—
9 priate condition to this project, insured that the final
map will not be approved unless the City Council finds
10 that sewer service is available to serve the project. In
addition, the Planning Commission has added a condition
11 that a note shall be placed on the final map that build-
ing permits may not be issued for the project unless the
12 City Engineer determines that sewer service is available,
and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer
13 service remains available, the Planning Commission is
satisfied that the requirements of the public facilities
14 element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they
apply to sewer service for this project.
15
b) School fees will be paid to ensure the availability of
school facilities in the San Marcos Unified school dis-
trict.
17
c) The payment of park-in-lieu fees is required as a
18 condition of approval.
d) All necessary public improvements have been provided or
will be required as conditions of approval.
MW
e) The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion
21 of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities
fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee
22 will enable this body to find that public facilities will
be available concurrent with need as required by the
23 General Plan.
24 f) Assurances have been given that adequate sewer for the
project will be provided by the Leucadia Water District.
25
4) The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding
26 future land uses since surrounding properties are designated
for residential development on the General Plan.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 12, 1981
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: CT 81-21/CP-167 - CARINGA INVESTMENTS Request for ap-
proval of a tentative subdivision map and condominium
permit to develop 70 units on the northwest corner of
Alicante Road and Altisma Way, south of Caringa Way in
the RD-M zone.
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. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will not
have a significant impact on the environment because of mitiga-
tion measures agreed to by the applicant and, therefore, has
issued a Conditional Negative Declaration on July 15, 1981.
V. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Condi-
tional Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and
adopt Resolution No. 1847, recommending APPROVAL of CT 81-21/-
CP-167, based on the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
