CT 82-5(A)/PUD-39(A) WESTANA/TELESCOPE POINT DEPT. HD. J^t CITY ATTY\3P£> CITY MGR. <?<£- RECOMMENDED ACTION: 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 82-5(A)/PUD-39(A), per Planning Commission Resolution No. 2229. ITEM EXPLANATION This item is an amendment to a 64 unit tentative tract map and planned unit development. The property is located west of Neblina Drive and south of Tamarack Avenue. The amendment is to add one additional unit and lower the grade elevation of the southerly one half of the project by 4 feet. By lowering the grade elevation, a stub street connection to the property immediately west of the subject site would be provided. No other changes are being proposed for the project. The Planning Commission found that the amended project was substantially the same as the previously approved project. All findings of the planned development and subdivision ordinance were made in approving this amendment. Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project will not cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated November 23, 1983, which was approved by the Planning Commission on December 14, 1983. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the Land Use Planning Office. FISCAL IMPACTS 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. § EXHIBITS Q_ ^ 1. Location Map 2. PC Resolution No. 2229 3.

APPLICANT: WESTANA/TELESCOPE POINT CASE NO; CT 82-5(A)/PUD-39(A) WHEREAS, a verified application for certain property, to wit: A portion of Lot 1 of Rancho Agua Hedionda according to Map No. 823 filed in San Diego County, November 16, 1896, has been filed with the City of Carlsbad, and referred to the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request as provided by Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 14th day of December, 1983, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Tentative Tract Map and Planned Unit Development; and 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 evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission recommends APPROVAL of CT 82-5(A)/PUD-39(A), based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Findings; 1) 2) 3) 4) The project is consistent with the City's general plan since the proposed density of 2.5 du's/acre is within the density range of 0-4 du's/acre specified for the site as indicated on the land use element of the general plan. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development. The project is consistent with all City public facility pol- icies and ordinances since: a) The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropriate 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 addition, the Planning Commission has added a condition that a note shall be placed on the final map that building permits 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 service remains available, and the Planning Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the public facilities element of the general plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for this project. b) The Carlsbad School District has written a letter, stating that school facilities will be available to this project. c) Park-in-lieu fees are required as a condition of ap- proval . 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 general plan. f) Assurances have been given that adequate sewer for the project will be provided by the City of Carlsbad. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding properties are designated for residential development on the general plan.

I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2229 recommending APPROVAL of CT 82-5(A)/PUD-39(A) to the City Council, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting an amendment to a previously approved 64 unit tentative tract map and planned unit development located as described above. This project was approved by the Planning Commission on August 11, 1982. The applicant is now proposing to add an additional lot and a grading revision to lower the elevation of the southerly one-half of the project approximately four feet. The site design, except for the additional lot, remains the same as that approved by the Planning Commission. Ill ANALYSIS Planning Issue 1) Is the revised project essentially in conformance with the previously approved tentative tract map and planned unit development? Discussion The applicant is proposing to add an additional lot at the end of Driveways B and C which would not significantly raise the approved density of 2.5 du/ac. The land use element of the general plan designates this site for residential development at 0-4 du/ac. The additional lot will maintain a density consistent with this range. The applicant is also requesting a grading revision which will remove 143,000 cubic yards of dirt and will result in lowering the elevation of the entire project approximately four feet. Apparently, the original engineering plans were incorrectly computed and resulted in the east end of Street A terminating at a point eight feet higher than the surrounding land. This revision will permit road construction consistent with existing terrain. By creating slightly larger buildable pads, the grading change will also eliminate the need for the two frontyard setback variances. Overall, the proposed revisions will create no significant changes in the nature of the approved project. Staff believes the plan is still consistent with the requirements of the general plan and the planned development ordinance. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project will have no significant environmental impact and issued a Negative Declaration on November 23, 1983.
