ZONE CODE AMENDMENT TO REQUIRE A SITE DEPTm “Dm
DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR ALL MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.
TITLE:
CITY MGR. - Z&4-/f3
ITEM EXPLANATION
This item is an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to require a
site development plan for any multi-family residential project.
Presently, site plan review for multi-family projects is required
only if: 1 - the project involves a subdivision of land (i.e,
condominiums) and is then processed under the subdivision
ordinance (Title 20) and the planned development ordinance (Chapter 21.45); or 2 - the project is an apartment project and is proposed at a density that is above the minimum designated by
the General Plan in which case it requires a Planning Commission
Determination (PCD). Apartment projects that are proposed at or
below the minimum density, regardless of their size, do not
require site development plan review and only need a building permit to be constructed.
This ordinance amendment would require all apartment projects
over 4 units, not otherwise processed under the subdivision ordinance or planned development ordinance, to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. For apartment projects with more than 50 units, final approval would be needed from the City Council. A
site development plan will be required to allow the city to review items in addition to the normal development standards of the zone in which the project is located such as compatibility, and additional setbacks, landscaping and parking.
For additional information on this amendment, please refer to the
attached staff report to the Planning Commission, dated July 24, 1985. 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 amendment
will not cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated July 10, 1985, which was approved by the Planning Commission on July 24, 1985. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the Land Use Planning Office.
FISCAL IMPACTS
No fiscal impacts would be created by the approval of this amendment.

STAFF REPORT

DATE : JULY 24, 1985
TO : PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: LAND USE PLACTNING OFFICE
SUBJECT: ZCA-183 - CITY OF CARLSBAD - AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE PLANNING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL
APPROVAL (SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN) FOR MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.
I. RECOMMENDAT ION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the
Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and
ADOPT Resolution No. 2467, recornmending APPROVAL of ZCA-183, based on the findings contained therein. c
11. DISCUSS ION
This item is a city-initiated amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
to require a site development plan for any multi-family
. residential project. Presently, site plan review and
discretionary approval for multi-family projects is required only if: 1 - the project involves a subdivision of land (i.e, condominiums) and is then processed under the subdivision
ordinance (Title 20) and the planned development ordinance
(Chapter 21.45); or 2 - the project is an apartment project and
is proposed at a density that is above the minimum designated by
the general plan in which case it requires a Planning Commission Determination (PCD) . Apartment projects that are proposed at or
below the minimum density, regardless of their size, do not
require site development plan review and only need a building permit to be constructed. An apartment project of say 500 units could be approved without any review by the Planning Commission or City Council if it was proposed at the minimum end of the
density range.
Staff believes that all apartment projects over 4 units should
require a site development plan and review by the Planning Commission. For projects with more than 50 units, final approval should be given by the City Council. Staff is therefore
recommending that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to require all multi-family projects not otherwise processed under the
subdivision ordinance or planned development ordinance to require approval of a site development plan pursuant to the provisions of the Q-Overlay Zone. Requiriny a site development plan will allow
the city to review the following items in addition to the normal development standards of the zone in which the project is located:
Density of use;
Compatibility with surrounding properties and land
uses:
Parking standards;
Setbacks, yards, open space, and onsite recreational facilities;
Eleight and bulk of buildings;
Fences and walls:
Signs:
Additional landscaping;
Grading, slopes, and drainage:
Time period within which the project or any phases 6 of the project shall be completed:
Points of ingress and egress;
111. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this amendment
will not have a significant impact on the environment and,
therefore, issued a Negative Declaration on July 10, 1985.
