Both the Planning Commission and the Planning staff are
recommending that this application be APPROVED and that the '
Council direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare documen

ITEM EXPLANATION
This item is a request for a 136 unit tentative map and condl
permit for a 9.95 acre property located on the southeast cor
Alga Road and El Fuerte Street. This project was reviewed u
Council Policy 7872. The policy required projects to be bel,
mean density if there was a potential for traffic impacts. r
General Plan for the project site is RMH (10-20 du's/acre) ai
project is proposed at 13.7 du's/acre, below the mean densit.
du' s/acre.
staff feels that the project justifies the 13.7 du's/acre del
proposed because of the additional amenities provided and tht
overall design of the project. The only substantial issues
concerning the project was the amount of traffic that would 7
generated and the proximity to property designated RL (0-1.5
du's/acre) which is located to the south of the subject site.
Even though it is below the mean density, the project will in
certain intersections in La Costa, (La Costa and El Camino Rc
Olivenhain Road and El Camino Real). These intersections, a1
with several others have been projected by the Engineering
Department to have future congestion problems. The Engineer!
Department has proposed a traffic fee for projects in La Cos1
to exceed $250.00. This fee is based on traffic generation i
would be used towards intersection improvements when needed :
future. Staff feels that the project provides adequate buff(
from the RL property by providing a large setback from the
southerly property line.
All other issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resc

Planning Commission.

FISCAL IMPACT
The increased need for city capital facilities resulting fror
development will be offset by the payment of the public faci:
fee. Any capital facilities related directly to this develol
will be constructed and paid for by the developer.
Increased operating expenses related to this development will
offset to some extent from increased tax or fee revenue gener by the development. No detailed economic impact analysis of
portion of operating expenses covered by additional operatins
revenue created as a result of this project cannot be made.

and to the east and south by vacant land which is zoned PC and
designated by the general plan for single-farnily dwellings at density of 0-1.5 duls/ac.
The site, level with the street at the northwest corner, slope gently upward approximately 60 - 70 feet to the east. The lan vegetated primarily with native brush.
The applicant proposes to develop 68 one-bedroom and 68 two-
bedroom units in 17 two-story buildings. The dwelling units w range in size from 713 to 978 square feet. Fifty-four tuck-un garages are proposed. When viewed from the interior driveways locations, the buildings appear to be three stories in height.
From the street and other locations on the site, the buildings appear to be two stories in height.

111. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Does the proposed project satisfy all development
2) Does the proposed project comply with all design
standards of the Planned Development Ordinance?
criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance?
DISCUSSION
Staff believes the proposed project satisfies all development standards and design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance. The buildings are sited at 10 different pad levels
accommodate the sloping terrain and at the same time provide B
of the units with ocean views. Structures have been pulled ba
from both Alga Road and El Fuerte Street to provide greater privacy and reduce noise impacts. Setbacks on Alga Road have been increased to 35-45 feet and on El Fuerte Street they vary
between 40-70 feet.
Recreation area requirements would be exceeded by a combinatio of private and common areas. Each unit would have a private E or balcony. Common recreational facilities include nine barbe
areas, a recreation building, volleyball court, pool, spa,
walking/jogging path and observation deck.
A total of 310 parking spaces would be provided, 54 garages, 8
carports and 174 open spaces. Guest parking has been disperse throughout the site. Storage reauirements would be satisfied within the individual garages, storage units, or storage areas off the patios. Storage areas average 480 cubic feet per unit
Due to the location of the project at the intersection of a ma
arterial and a secondary arterial, the applicant has been
permitted only one access due to intersection spacing requirements. This drive is located at the southern property line on El Fuerte Street. To eliminate a violation of the cul sac policy of no more than 120 units off one access, Engineeri staff has required the applicant to provide an entry driveway which will accommodate four lanes of traffic. This will enhan
the flow of traffic on the project and mitigate circulation
concerns. The entry will feature a landscaped island dividing
the drive and stuccoed, terraced retaining walls acting as landscaped planters along both sides of the drive.
This project is below the mean density and is in conformance M
Council Policy 7872. Peak hour problems are anticipated at tk. intersection of El Camino Real and Alga Road some distance frc the project. Service levels were computed at the mean densit1
This project is below mean and will, therefore, improve the situation slightly

Overall, staff believes the project appears to be well-desiqne and sensit'ive to the existing terrain. Building setbacks have
been increased on all sides to reduce visual impacts on surrounding properties, The project will feature textured paving, extensive landscaping and a variety of recreational
opportunities.
Staff believes the proposed project satisfies all development
standards and design criteria of the Planned Development
Ordinance and justifies the requested density.
