STATEMENT OF THE MATTER:
This item is a request for approval of a six lot tentative tract map on 2.5
acres located as described above. The lots would vary in size from 11,640 to
18,200 square feet and one of these would be a panhandle lot.

approval of this item.
Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter
have been satisfactorily resolved.

significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative

Commission on August 26, 1981. A copy of the environmental documents is on file
in the Planning Department.
FISCAL IMPACTS
This project, as conditioned, will provide all necessary public improvements.
Also, the developer has agreed to pay a public facilities fee to offset the cost
of providing all other necessary public services.
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 81-23, per Planning Commission Resolution No. 1852.

The site is physically suitable for the type and density of
the development since the site is adequate in size and shape
to accommodate residential development at the density proposed
and still meet all of the requirements of the Carlsbad Subdi-
vision Ordinance.
The project is consistent with all city public facility poli-
cies and ordinances since:
a) The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropri-
ate condition to this project, insured that the final map
will not be approved unless the City Council finds that
sewer service is available to serve the project. In addi-
tion, the Planning Commission has ad(5ed a condition that a
note shall be placed on the final map that building per-
mits may not be issued for the project unless the City
Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and
building cannot occur within the project unless sewer ser-
vice remains available, the Planning Commission is satis-
fied that the requirements of the public facilities ele-
ment of the General Plan have been met insofar as they
apply to sewer service for this project.
b) School facilities will be available to this project as
indicated by the Carlsbad Unified School District per
letter dated August 12, 1981.
c) Park-in-lieu. fees are required as a condition of
approval .
d) All necessary public improvements have been provided or
will be required as conditions of approval.
e) The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion
of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities
fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee
will enable this body to find that public facilities will
be available concurrent with need as required by the
The proposed subdivision is compatible with surrounding and
future land uses since it is being developed- as residential
property and the surrounding properties have been or will be
developed for residential purposes.
This project as conditioned will not cause any significant
environmental impacts and a Conditional Negative Declaration
has been issued by the Planning Director on August 13, 1981,
and approved by the Planning Commission on August 26, 1981.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 26, 1981
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: GT 81-23, A&W VENTURES, INC. - Request for a six lot
Tentative Tract Map on the east side of Park Drive bet-
ween Calavo Drive and Hillside Drive in the R-1- 10,000
zone.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to subdivide three parcels with a combined
area of 2.5 acres into six lots, one of which will be a panhandle
lot. The lots created by this subdivision will vary in size from
11,640 to 18,200 square feet. Whitey Drive, an existing driveway
serving a panhandle lot to the east of the proposed subdivision,
will be improved and widened to public street, standards to serve
the lots created by the proposed subdivision. Exhibit "B" shows
the three existing lots that will be subdivided by the proposed
tentative map. Although two of the three lots have substantial
frontage on Park Drive, significant regrading of the property
would be required to gain access to these lots from Park Drive.
At the present time, the westerly edge of these properties is
approximately 15 feet above Park Drive.
The subject property has been rough graded in the past and is
partially covered with weeds at the present time. The site
slopes down from an elevation of approximately 130 feet in its
easternmost corner to approximately 70 feet on the west edge.
Along the west edge of the site, a nearly vertical cliff over-
looks Park Drive. Most of the surrounding properties have been
developed with single family homes on larger lots.
II. ANALYSIS
1. Does the proposed tentative tract map meet the requirements
of the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance?
2. Does the proposed tentative tract map meet the requirements
of the Carlsbad Subdivision Ordinance and the State Subdivi-
sion Map Act?
IV. DISCUSSION
All of the lots created by this subdivision will have more than
the 10,000 square foot minimum lot size required by the R-1-
10,000 zone. Lot 5, the panhandle lot, will have a buildable
area greater than the 10,000 square foot minimum required by the
Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance. All of the lots created by this sub-
division will have frontage on and gain access from Whitey Drive,
which will be a public street.
As proposed, this subdivision meets all of the requirements of
the Carlsbad Subdivision Ordinance and the Subdivision Map Act.
The proposed map and improvements are consistent with the Carls-
bad General Plan.
Whitey Drive is a private street presently owned by the property
owner located east of the subject site. The applicant would be
required to enter into an agreement with the property owner to
the east to obtain dedication of the panhandle portion of his lot
to allow for the improvement of Whitey Drive to public street
standards. The site is physically suited for the type and den-
sity of development proposed by the applicant and the proposed
subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage
or serious health problems. The design of the subdivision does
not conflict with any easements. An existing 12' wide SDG&E
easement across lot 4 will be abandoned prior to final map re-
cordation.
The building pads created by this subdivision will allow the
future owners to construct homes with excellent views of Agua
Hedionda Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. Since the proposed tenta-
tive tract map meets all of the requirements of the Carlsbad
Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance, as well as the State
Subdivision Map Act, staff recommends that the Commission approve
CT 81-23.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that as conditioned this
project will not have a significant impact on the environment and
therefore has issued a Conditional Negative Declaration dated
August 13, 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. 1852, recommending APPROVAL of CT 81-23 to
the City Council based on the findings arid subject to the condi-
tions contained therein.
