FISCAL IMPACT
The increased need for city capital facilities resulting f development will be offset by the payment of the public fa fee. Any capital facilities related directly to this dev
will be constructed and paid for by the developer.
Increased operating expenses related to this development
offset to some extent from increased tax or fee revenue g
by the development. No detailed economic impact analysis development has been conducted at this time so prediction
portion of operating expenses covered by additional c
revenue created as a result of this project cannot be made.

SlJBJEC'I: CT 84-32/PUD-73/SP-195 - CARLSBAD LAND INVESTORS -
Request for approval of a tentative subdivision map for a planned development for 225 detached single-f residential units. The site is located on a ridget
south of Palomar Airport Road and just east of the
future alignment of College Boulevard.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolut
Nos. 2425 and 2426 Recommending APPROVAL of CT 84-32/PUD-73
SP-195 to the City Council, based on the findings and condit contained therein.
11. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is situated on 85 acres, in a virtually
undeveloped area of the City. This area was recently pre-zo
from a county agriculture zone to the City's R-1-7500 and Or Space Zones.
Over half the site is considered topographically Constrained
western portions of the property. The southern and central portions of the site consist of a relatively flat plateau.
is on this plateau area that the development is proposed. 1 site is presently covered with native scrub brush.
In mid-1984, the property was the subject of a General Plan
amendment which increased its density potential. Densities much cif the site were changed from RL (0-1.5 du/ac) to RLM (0-4 dulac). As a trade-off, the developer agreed to clustc development on the southern portion of the property, since 1 northern portion is considered constrained for residential development due to its close proximity to the airport. The property was subsequently zoned 0-S on the north and R-1-75
on the south.
As shown on Exhibit "A", the project proposes two points of access off future College Boulevard. College Boulevard is
antici-pated as a major arterial roadway, providing an impor
link between Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane. Fut
traffic projections are high for each of these three roadwa

The suhject development Droposes 225 units resulting in a grc
density of 2.65 du/ac. square feet and would contain sinale-family detached housing.
The project is proposed as a private, qated community (incluc
private! streets). recreat.ion lots proposed on the site, (includinq a recreatior
clubhouse, tennis courts, and pools). An approximately five- graded pad, near the north end of the property, is restrictec open space uses. The developer has not indicated specific
improvements to this area.
A specj.fic plan is required for this site because it is locat
in the Airport Influence Area. The specific plan is short
because one was not submitted by the applicant for neqotiatic

by the proximity of the airport. The specific plan calls fo- special, mitigation measures to help reduce noise impacts.

111. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Does the project justify the proposed density?
2) Is the property suitable for residential use due to its
proximity to Palomar Airport?
3) Does the proposed project meet the requirements of the
Planned Development Ordinance?
DISC USIS I ON
The subject project is proposed at a density of 2.65 du/ac. figure is based upon gross acreaae, which includes all areas (buildable and unbuildable) of the property. Based on the General Plan adopted criteria for determining density of spe projects within the allowable range, the project would tend
justify this place in the range (0-4 du/ac) for this area.
analysis of the criteria as it relates to this project is as follows:
A) Site Constraints and Design - Topography is a substantj
constraint to development of the property. The site consists of a north-south trending ridge with steep nal
hillsides descend steeply to the west, north, and east Proximity to the take-off flight pattern from Palomar Airport (restricting units to the southern portion of property) further constrains design. The applicant ha:
done a good job keeping development away from the slop a.nd south of the 65 CNEL noise line.

B) - Onsite Amenities - The overall design concept appears qc
with many units situated to take advantage of the panor:
vi.ew. Although it is unclear as to what recreational features are proposed at the vacant north end of the
property, the project is providinu a number of recreatic
areas and view corridors throuqhout the project.
- Location/Offsite Amenities - The proposed project is
siituated in the south-central portion of the City, surrounded by industrial property down the hillside to I north and east, and residential property to the west an(
south. This close proximity to the industrial (employmi corridor is considered a locational plus. The 1-1/2 mi distance to commercial facilities (1-5 and Poinsettia L
is considered average. The City anticipates a future
regional park/educational complex (far which the exact location has not been determined) in close proximity to property.
- Land Use Compatibility - The property abuts a vacant RL
(0-1.5 du/ac) site to the northwest. Other surrounding residential property (also vacant) is designated 0-4 du (similar to the subject site). The site's proximity to airport (2,700 feet from runway) must be considered a compatibility issue. Mitigation is reflected in the clustering of residential units toward the southern end the property. Also, conditions of approval include the recognition of flight easements on the deeds, and a reduction of interior noise levels to 45 decibels. Mitigation, however, does not eliminate the issue of cl
proximity to the airport. The proposed project meets t criteria provided by SANDAG for use around the airport.
was evaluated in 1974 and was considered when this prop
was rezoned in 1984. The lines established by these ac
still do not guarantee that there will be no noise impa to the project area. A change in land use would also F new problems in that it will be difficult to determine
another appropriate designation. Besides the airport,
traffic and compatibility with residential uses to the
are also a consideration. Since the land use for this
was reaffirmed by Council last year, staff would recomn
no change.
E) Public Facilities - Since few public facilities are on- in the area, the developer will be responsible for the]
construction. It should be noted that traffic congest:
presently exists on Palomar Airport Road, and is anticipated, at buildout (even with all proposed
improvements in place) at its intersection with Collegt Boulevard. Traffic impacts are discussed in more deta
later in this report.
Based on this analysis of the proposed plan, staff conclude:
that the project does justify the density as proposed at 2.1

Traffic Impacts
Although relatively little development has occurred in the
vicinity of the proposed project at this time, roadways in
area are already experiencing congestion. Palomar Airport '
is operating near capacity and its intersection with El Cam Real is operating at a low level of service, and the I-5/Pa
Airport Road interchange is severely conqested. The propost project would add incrementally to these problems.
In the long range, however , extensive improvements are plan to the circulation network in the area. Palomar Airport Ra
will be widened to six lanes, the Palomar Airport Road/El C Real intersection will be upgraded, and the 1-5/Palomar Air
Road bridge will be widened. In addition, College Boulevar
will be constructed as a four-lane divided highway, providi
link to Poinsettia Lane.
The Carlsbad Land Investors Environmental Impact Report Tr2
Study and SANDAG Traffic Model Estimates indicate, however, that, even with these improvements, traffic service levels be low. congested roadway in the City at buildout. The Palomar Air
Road/College Boulevard intersection (directly impacted by t proposed project) will operate (at best) at level of servic (tolerable but not desirable). The 1-5/Palomar Airport ROE
. 1-5/Poinsettia Lane interchanges are also projected to excc
capacity. These studies are generally based upon mid-poin' density range estimates.
The proposed project is below the mid-point of the density
At 2,,65 du/ac, the project will create slightly less impac traffiic than anticipated by the SANDAG study.
Planned Development Ordinance
As proposed, the project meets or exceeds all the requirem
I' of the Planned Development Ordinance. All residential lot have a minimum usable area of I5 feet, guest parkinq will
provided an-street and in several bays distributed through
project.
In summary, staff feels that the project is designed
appropriately for the site, meets the standards of the Pla
Development Ordinance and justifies the density proposed.
these reasons, staff is recommending approval of CT 84-321 and SP-195.
Palomar Airport Road is projected to be the most

measures sufficiently resolves these impacts. As a result,
is recommending approval of the proposed project.

ITEM EXPLAWTION
In April of this year the Planning Camission considered a generz amendment to change 85 acres of residential low (RL 0-1.5 duns/:
residential lcxwnedium density (RLM 0-4 du's/ac) to RLM and amnercial
acres. Staff and the Planning Comnission recarmeded denial of this
based on traffic, land use compatibility and noise. The City Council hc
appeal on June 5 and suggested an alternative land use which included RIJ southerly portion of the property and 20 acres of office (0) on the mT1
portion. They returned the item to the Planning Cmission for a report
At the Planning Corranission meting of June 27, the applicant proposed
alternative. Tkis alternative would change the entire 85 acre site to I? on the general plan. The zoning would be residential for the southern 1
and the Open space Zone on &e northern 20 acres (refer to Exhibit "4")

11. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
On April 25, 1984, the Planning Commission considered a Gene
Plan Amendment to allow increased acreages of RLM (29 to 79
acres) and 6 acres of commercial land uses, on 85 acres of property located south of Palomar Airport Road and east of
Laurel Tree Lane. Staff and the Planning Commission recommt
denial of this request based on compatibility, traffic, and
noise issues. On June 5, the City Council indicated that tl
could approve an alternative land use for the site. This alternative is being sent to the Planning Commission for a
report and is demonstrated in Exhibit "A". It includes the
following changes:

111. ANALYSIS
Planning Issue
1) Is the proposed land use compatible with the site
with the surrounding land use?
Discussion
Staff has closely analyzed both the existing general plan
uses and the revised uses suggested by the City Council, a continues to have planning concerns with the revised plan.
. 0 0
These concerns are as follows:
A) Land Use Compatibility -
Land uses in the Carlsbad Land Investors area, as delineated
the City's General Plan, closely follow the natural topograph layout of the land. The site is situated on a ridgetop. It along this ridgetop area (including adjacent properties soutl-
west of the site) that viewshed, circulation patterns, and overall community environment is interdependent upon neighbor properties. Staff finds the existing residential land uses
this area very compatible.
To the north and east, the subject site is separated from thi Planned Industrial uses (along the south side of Palomar Air
Road) by an existing 6O--foot slope which firmly defines the
ridgetop from the non-residential uses in the valley below.
slope provides an ideal land use buffer. Staff has repeated
advocated the concept of preserving this slope, which runs f two miles, to provide a buffer between the primarily industr uses in the Palomar Airport Road corridor, and residential u
atop the ridge. A transitional land use (such as office) at
the ridge is unnecessary, and will, in fact, provide an intr
of such use into a residential area, without a well-defined
use boundary. As stated in the previous staff report, stafi
concludes that the site Ifis most appropriate for residential
uses" which should be clustered on the south end of the pro1 Because of the proximity of the airport, the north end of tk property should be used only as vacant acreage for density computation. Density computed from the entire site (224 uni
would then be restricted to its southern half. Such would I: conformance with the intent of the Palomar Airport special treatment area guidelines.
B) Traffic
The revised project, as presented to the City Council, woull greatly increase the number of vehicular trips into and out
the site. Assuming 9 of the 20 acres of office property is
buildable (the remainder is slope), the revised land uses h generate an additional 3300 ADT (average daily trips). The trips will further congest College Boulevard and Palomar Ai
Road, particularly at the intersection of the two. Even un
the existing general plan, the EIR identifies this intersec as operating at level of service D, which is considered to
"tolerable" and "close to capacity". The recent SANDAG tr: model alternatives all project College Boulevard to operatc

office acreage. Assuming this property (approximately 9 acre
buildable) is eventually also redesignated to office uses, th
traffic generation factor increases to 6240 ADT over the exis
plan. Overall, staff is very concerned about future circulat
problems in this area, and recommends that land use
intensification not occur in areas that will generate traffic
intersections or roadways identified as problem areas unless
overriding considerations exist. Since this property can
adequately be developed without land use intensification, ste
does not find such considerations.
C) Noise
While staff is concerned about allowing office uses on the I
for compatibility and traffic reasons, staff is also concernc about increasing the higher density (RLM) acreage on the sit6
Higher density results in additional residential units subjec
to airport and helicopter noise impacts. It is apparent thai
existing low-density land use designations were placed on thi
site for the specific purpose that such land uses would sub]
less residents to aircraft noise and crash hazards. Staff
concludes that a low number of residential units (as allowed
the existing plan), clustered on the southern portion of the
(a greater distance from the airport), is, from an overall
planning perspective, the most desirable development pattern
the site. This is what would be allowed under the existing general plan.

11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting approval for: 1)the certificati
an Environmental Impact Report on 101 acres (an 85-acre parc and a 16-acre parcel) Located south of Palomar Airport Road east of Laurel Tree Lane, and 2) a general plan amendment i preannexational zone change on the 85-acre parcel to increaE residential densities and to allow some commercial developmc
The subject property consists of a ridgetop and steep slopes
located just south of the planned industrial corridor that
parallels Palomar Airport Road. The slopes on the northern
eastern boundaries of the site presently form the land use
buffer between industrial and residential development as shc on the general plan. The entire site is presently designatc
for low (0-1.5 du/ac) and low-medium (0-4 du/ac) residential densities. While the 16-acre parcel located in the northwe:
corner of the site has been reviewed for purposes of the E11

acres. created on the north-central portion of the site. This land 1 pattern is slightly different than that described in the EIR.
It is so similar, however, that the identified impacts would t
cosidered closely comparable.
The applicant's intent is to develop a comprehensive planned
residential development flor approximately 300 attached dwellir units and 6 commercial acres, to be located on the flatter
portion of the ridgetop. Residential units are proposed towai
the southerly end of the site to reduce the impact of airport
noise. Most of the slope areas are proposed to remain in oper space, utilizing these areas for density credit only. Since 1
project is loated within the "airport influence area", a specific plan or site development plan is required.

road will be operating at or near capacity, and the futui intersection of Palomar Airport Road and College Avenue will operate at an undesirable level of service even without the proposed intensification of land use.
2) Land Use
The Environmental Impact Report states that the sitinq oj
large commercial site, with access off a local residentii
street, is not consistent with city policy for the sitinc
of such centers. The Land Use Element suggests that sucl
centers be developed at the intersection of arterial
streets. In addition, the project site is located beneai the Hughes Helicopter test flight pattern and would be subject to potential crash hazards from these testing
operations.
3) Noise
The northern portion of the project area is within the 1'
65 CNEL noise contour from Palomar Airport. There is thc additional likelihood that the residential area of the project would be within the 65 CNEL contour for helicopt(
generated noise, given the topography of the site and thc
relationship of the flight patterns to the property. In general, approval of the density increase would increase the number of residences that could be exposed to annoyii
single-event noise levels generated by aircraft and helicopters and, therefore, could result in increased no complaints.

4) Topography and Visual Aesthetics

Mitigation includes incorporation of design criteria su(
as restricting development to areas with less than 25 percent slope and setting commercial structures back frc
slope areas to minimize visibility from outside the pro:
area.
5) Biological Resources
The Environmental Impact Report identifies two sensitivc
plant species on the site. An increase in land use
intensity may result in additional hazards to these plai populations. Mitigation would include provision of an effective preservation plan for these plants.

Staff's concern with the applicant's request revolves primar
around three major issues: a) land use compatibility, b) tra circulation, and c) airport impacts.
The Environmental Impact: Report addressed the possibility of

identified as problem areas, unless overriding considerations exist. Staff is unable to find these considerations.
The proposed project is located 2700 feet from the take-off er of the Palomar Airport runway. As such, there are presently hundreds of take-offs per day, at full-engine speed, travellir close to the subject property.
The entire site is within the (airport influence area. Althouc only a small (northern) portion of the site is encumbered by i official crash impact zone for general aircraft, significant numbers of Hughes Helicopters transverse the site daily. The
Hughes Company has written a latter to the City asking the Cit not to increase residential density on this property.
It is apparent that the existing low-density land use designations were placed on the site for the specific purpose that such land uses would subject less residents to aircraft
noise and crash hazards. Staff concludes that this is sound reasoning and does not recommend any increase in residential intensity on the site. Finally, staff feels that the subject property should be developed through the Planned Development Ordinance. This is the perfect vehicle to use to transfer residential density from the entire property and cluster it or
the south side of the property away from the noise impacts.

Charles Novak, in response, indicated that parking was going from 16 current parking spaces to 39 parking spaces by rerrodeling the back area. Mr. Novak did not understand bw there can be an increase in traffic when there is rn &ange to the occupancy of the building and felt they were not penalizing the neighborhood by upgrading the neighborhood.
Mr. Novak asked the Conmission to direct staff to help them find the appropriate approach to file a subdivision map on
this property.
Comnissioner Schlehuber questioned why there has been a do
nothing maintenance apmoach on this property for a couple of
years.
Mr. Novak stated there is a new owner. Mr. Novak indicated
that they were not asking for an increase in density, change the munt of residents living there, increase occupancy but
only asking for the Owner of this property to make the
investment necessary.
Since no one else wished to speak on this item, public testimony was concluded.
