RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission and staff would recommend that the City Council UPHOLD
the Planning Cotmission decision to APPROVE CUP-255.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The applicant has requested approval of a conditional use permit for a 91 unit
professional care facility on 4.6 acres located just west of 1-5 between Laguna
Drive and Knowles Avenue. This item was appealed by a councilmerriber for council
review.
A professional care facility is defined in the ordinance as a facility in which
food, shelter and some form of professional service such as nursing is provided.
The project is located in the R-3 zone which permits this type of facility with
a conditional use permit.
The project is designed for active retired residents over the age of 55. A
clinic staff would be available for routine physical examinations and monitoring
of a 24-hour emergency call-bell system from the residents' rooms. The proposed
project would also provide an exercise room, recreation room, library, lounges
and common dining facilities. Outdoor recreational amenities would include a
pool and Jacuzzi, shuffleboard, barbegue facilities, a gazebo, horseshoe pits,
lawnbowling and a gardening area.
Both staff and the Planning Commission had concerns regarding the possible
conversion of this facility, if unsuccessful, to a residential use. With 91
units, the density would be at 19.65 du/acre, at the high end of the 10-20 RMH
range. The developer has been conditioned to enter into an agreement with the
city to operate the project as a professional care facility. In the event that
a conversion does occur, conditions have been added that would provide for
additional parking, so that the project would meet apartment standards.
At their hearing of January 9, the Planning Commission approved the project with
several additional conditions. They conditioned the developer to construct an
off site sidewalk on the north side of Laguna Drive between the project and Davis
Street. They also conditioned the applicant to install a signal or other device
at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Laguna Drive if the Traffic Safety
Committee determines that such a device is necessary.
For further information please see the attached staff report to the Planning
Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT
At the time of development, the applicant will provide all required public
improvements to serve the project. In addition, the applicant has agreed to pay
a public facilities fee to offset the cost of providing other public services to
the project.

Findings;
1) That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the
development of the community, is essentially in harmony with
the various elements and objectives of the general plan, and
is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically
permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be
citizens in close proximity to downtown Carlsbad
b) Provision of affordable rental housing for senior citizens
is consistent with the goals of the Housing Element of the
General Plan
c) The project is consistent with the City's General Plan
since the proposed density of 19.65 du's/acre is within the
density range of 10-20 du's/acre specified for this site as
indicated on the land use element of the general plan and
ensures compatibility with existing or future permitted
uses in the zone. If converted to an apartment project,
the development would justify the overall density based on
substantial recreation and open space amenities in excess
of those traditionally provided by a standard apartment
shape to accomodate the use, since all of the buildings,
parking, open space and other amenities can be provided on the
site without reduction of the required setbacks.
3) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping,
and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to
existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, since all of the setbacks would be
provided and landscaped
4) That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to
properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use,
since the project would generate relatively little traffic and
the developer would widen and improve Knowles Avenue and
Laguna Drive at the project frontage.
5) This project will not cause any significant environmental
impacts and a Negative Declaration has been issued by the Land
Use Planning Manager on September 26, 1984 and approved by
the Planning Commission on January 9, 1985.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 9, 1985
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Land Use Planning Office
SUBJECT: CUP-255 - VILLAS DE CARLSBAD - Request for approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for a Professional Care facility
on the north side of Laguna Drive, south side of Knowles
Avenue and west side of 1-5 in the R-3 zone.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the
Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and
ADOPT Resolution No. 2398, APPROVING CUP-255, based on the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit
for a Professional Care facility, on 4.6 acres, located as
described above. The subject property is a roughly triangular-
shaped, through lot fronting on both Laguna Drive and Knowles
Avenue. Access to the site would be derived from both streets.
The proposed project would be developed in three, three-story
buildings, interconnected by walkways. The project would consist
of 34 one-bedroom and 57 two bedroom units. The one-bedroom
units would have a floor area of 504 sq. ft. and the two-bedroom
units, 804 sq. ft. Each unit would include a small kitchen. All
of the two-bedroom units would have the capability of being
converted into two, one-bedroom units, one with a kitchen and one
without.
The project is designed for active retired residents over the age
of 55. A clinic staff would be available for routine physical
examinations and monitoring of a 24-hour emergency call-bell
system from the residents' rooms. The proposed project would
also provide an exercise room, recreation room, library, lounges
and common dining facilities. Outdoor recreational amenities
would include a pool and Jacuzzi, shuffleboard, barbeque
facilities, a gazebo, horseshoe pits, lawnbowling and a gardening
area.
The R-3 zone provides for consideration of professional care
facilities by conditional use permit. A professional care
facility is defined as a facility in which food, shelter and some
form of professional service is provided such as nursing,
medical, dietary, exercising or other medically recommended
programs.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Can all of the findings, necessary for approval of a
conditional use permit be made? Specifically:
a) That the requested use is necessary or desirable
for the development of the community, is
essentially in harmony with the various elements
and objectives of the General Plan and is not
detrimental to existing uses or to uses
specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located.
b) That the site for the intended use is adequate in
size and shape to accomodate the use.
c) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences,
landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested use to existing or permitted future
uses in the neighborhood will be provided and
maintained.
d) That the street system serving the proposed use is
adequate to properly handle all traffic generated
by the proposed use.
Discussion
Staff believes that all of the findings, necessary for approval
of the conditional use permit, can be made. Staff believes that
the project would provide a desirable service and housing
alternative to the community. The project would be essentially
in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the
General Plan including the Housing Element which establishes as
a major goal, assuring "...an adequate diversity of housing,
with types, prices, tenures and locations consistent with the
age and economic characteristics of present and future
residents."
At 91 units, the project would have an overall density of 19.65
du's/ac, at the high end of the RMH (10-20 du's/ac) density
range specified for the site by the Land Use Element of the
General Plan. Since the density of the proposed project is
consistent with the zoning and land use designation, staff
anticipates tha the project would not be detrimental to existing
or other permitted uses. Additionally, on-site parking would
far exceed the requirement based on the maximum number of beds.
Staff had initial concern regarding the potential conversion
from a professional care facility to an apartment project.
Although the two-bedroom units can be converted into two one-
-2-
bedroom units, for professional care purposes, they would not
comply with Uniform Building Code standards for habitable units.
Each unit, by code, is required to include a kitchen. The units,
therefore, would have to be rented as two-bedroom units. As a 91
unit project, the development would provide substantial
amentities and be consistent with the permitted density range for
apartments in this zone.
The applicant has also submitted a conversion plan to indicate
how additional parking could be provided to comply with apartment
standards. Staff is recommending, as a condition of approval,
that the applicant enter into an agreement with the City to
operate the project as a professional care facility. Should the
development be converted to a standard apartment project, the
developer would be required to provide the additional parking.
Staff believes that the site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed use. All setbacks would be observed and
landscaped. A large portion of the site would be left in open
space for active and passive recreation use. Staff anticipates
that the project would be compatible with existing and permitted
uses in the area. The neighborhood is currently in transition,
including single-family and some multiple-family uses. Although
the mass of the project would be greater than any existing
development, the amount of area left in open space is also
greater than a conventional multiple-family project.
Additionally its location at the end of cul-de-sacs and minimal
traffic generated should lessen any neighborhood impact.
Staff believes that the street system serving the site is
adequate to accommodate traffic generated by the proposed use.
The applicant would be required to dedicate and improve
additional property on both Laguna Drive and Knowles Avenue,
including half cul-de-sacs. Typically, this type of use
generates very little traffic. The applicant would also provide
shuttle service for the residents. Finally, staff believes that
the project is well located, within easy walking distance to the
downtown area and shopping. The project's proximity to these
services should encourage pedestrian circulation while de-
emphasizing vehicular traffic.
Overall, staff believes that the use is desirable, the project
would be well located and that all findings necessary for
approval of a conditional use permit can be made.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project
will not have an adverse impact on the environment and,
therefore, issued a Negative Declaration on September 26, 1984.
