RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that
City Council adopt the Notice of Prior Compliance issued by i
Planning Director and direct the City Attorney's Office to
prepare documents APPROVING CT 85-10/PUD-81. In addition, st
would request that the Council direct the Attorney's Office t
include the changes presented in the attached memorandum fron
Planning Director reflecting recent traffic and public facili
fee changes by the Council.
ITEM EXPLANATION
At its meeting of May 20, 1986 the City Council continued thj
matter for 30 days to allow for an additional report on the
traffic issue (See previous Agenda Bill No. 8633 with Exhibit
attached).
A concern was expressed by residents of an area in the County
(since voted to be incorporated as the City of Encinitas) lyi
westerly of the Rice Property between Rancho Santa Fe Road an
Camino Real. Fears were expressed that traffic from the Rice
Property and other future development in the City of Carlsbad
would adversely impact residential streets in the County.
In a letter to Michael Holzmiller, the County Department of
Public Works suggested three alternatives for mitigating prot
expressed by County residents. Staff and the City's consulti
Transportation Engineer have met with the County representati
investigated the situation, and make the following findings M
respect to the alternatives suggested:
County Suggestion No. 1
"Require the easterly leg (of Avenida La Posta at Rancho
Santa Fe Road) to be offset from the existing intersectio
accordance with your standards. VI
City Response
Our standards would require that the easterly leg be offs
2600 feet since Rancho Santa Fe Road at this point is on future alignment of Route 680, a prime arterial
classification. A 2600 foot offset would place the
intersection at Olivenhain Road. Even a 1200 foot offset
(for a Major Arterial) would be impractical for this
development. An offset of any less distance, say, 600 fe
would do more harm than good. Traffic could still use th
"bypass", and would then make a 600 foot jog through two intersections.

City Response
This has been done through proper transportation planninc

County Suggestion No. 3
"Require the developer to actively participate in and cat
to be completed the closure and construction of a cul-de-
with appropriate emergency vehicle access at an appropri;
location on Avenida La Posta."
City Response
It is staff's opinion that the complaints from County
residents are based more out of fear of what may happen 1
on what will actually happen. Most of the traffic generz
by Rice Property and wishing to go to the west will be
destined for 1-5 Freeway. Their logical means of doing I
will be, south on Rancho Santa Fe Road to Encinitas Boulc
or north on Rancho Santa Fe Road to Olivenhain Road to El
Camino Real to La Costa Avenue. It is very unlikely thal
such traffic will waste the time and fuel to wind througl
maze of narrow residential streets. However, if a streel
closure is deemed advisable by the County or City of
Encinitas in order to prevent such traffic flow, then it
within their authority to so implement.
At the May 20, 1986 City Council meeting, another alternativc
suggested, that being the placement of a median in Rancho Sal
Fe Road, across the new four-way intersection. It would prec
all left turn moves and all straight-across moves between ea!
and west.
In staff's opinion, such controls would merely serve to crea'
out-of-direction traffic movements and dangerous U-turns
elsewhere, instead of full right-of-way assignment at a stanc
well-understood four-way signalized intersection. In the mil
of the driving public, the median would be without logic. T1
would be violations and accidents.

TRAFFIC RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation, based on sound traffic safety
principles, that Avefiida La Posta be aligned to form a four-a
intersection at Rancho Santa Fe Road as proposed under the pl
approved by the Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project was reviewed for environmental impacts under a
previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR 82-3).

To: Michael Holzmiller
From: Marty Bouma
Subject: RICE PROPERTY - CT 85-10
I have met With Bill Hoben and Harry Crosley of the County Public Works Department. (Harry Crosley wrote the letter to you; Hal Sorlie signed it.)
In my opinion, the County is a victim of its own poor transportation planning, At one time, a well aligned collecto street was planned to provide cross-flow between El Camino Rea and Rancho Santa Fe Road. But according to the County staff, "the Board of Supervisors killed it". Now our City is being asked to perform more bad transportation planning to keep traffic off of a sub-standard circuitous route through local residenti a1 streets in the County.
I suggest a new staff report to the City Council for the June 17, 1986 Agenda which reads in part, as follows:
--- -.._- ---
Staff has reviewed three alternatives suggested by the
County for mitigating problems expressed by residents of the area west of Rancho Santa Fe Road.
1. Require the easterly leg to be offset from the existi intersection in accordance with your standards.
Our standards would require that the easterly leg be offset 2600 feet since Rancho Santa Fe Road at this poi is on the future alignment of Route 680, a prime arteri classification. A 2600 foot offset would place the intersection at Olivenhain Road. Even a 1200 foot offs (for a Major Arterial) would be impractical for this development. An offset of any less distance, say, 600 feet, would do more harm than good. Traffic could stil use the "bypass", and would then make a 600 foot jog

3. Require the developer to actively participate in and cause to be completed the closure and construction of cul-de-sac with appropriate emergency vebicle access a'
an appropriate location on Avenida La Posta.
It is staff's opinion that the complaints from County residents are based more out of fear of what may happe than on what will actually happen. Most of the traffi generated by Rice Property and wishing to go to the west will be destined for 1-5 Freeway. Their logical means of doing that will be, south on Rancho Santa Fe
Road to Encinitas Boulevard or north on Rancho Santa F Road to Olivenhain Road to El Camino Real to La Costa Avenue. It is very unlikely that such traffic will waste the time and fuel to wind through a maze of narrow residential streets. However, if a street closure is deemed advisable by the County in order to prevent such traffic flow, then it is within the County's authority to so implement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation, based on sound traffic safety principles, that Avenida La Posta be aligned to form a four-way intersection at Rancho Santa Fe Road.

ITEM EXPLANATION
The applicant is requesting a 196 lot/189 unit tentative map planned unit development on 91 acres located southeast of th intersection of Rancho Santa Fe Road and Olivenhain Road, T
General Plan designates the site as RLM (0-4 du's/ac) and th zoning is R-1-10,000. The project is proposed at 2.4 du's/a
This item was heard by the City Council on December 3, 1985,
February 18, 1986, The Council felt that the project had a of positive features including low density and a large lot s
family product type. This item was continued until the La C
Traffic Study was completed because of possible impacts on Olivenhain Road and La Costa Avenue. Following completion o
traffic study this project vas returned to the Planning Comm on April 23. The Commission is recommending approval with t addition of a condition requiring payment of a traffic impac
based on the La Costa Traffic Study.
The major concerns regarding this project were compatibility
the intent of the X-1-10,000 zone. The R-1-10,000 zone call minimum of 10,000 sq.ft. lots. The applicant has proposed development through the Planned (Unit) Development (PD) Ordi
which permits variation to lot sizes if the overall density within the General Plan range. Both staff and the Planning Commission felt this project was an example of how the PD Or was intended to be utilized. The property contains a number
environmental constraints including a floodplain, endangered
species and unstable slopes. These areas were leEt in open
but the lots in the developable area (7,500 to 12,000 sq-ft. designed to make the project appear as an X-1-10,000 subdivi
Lots abutting the large county properties to the south are a 12,000 sq.ft. in size.
If this project is approved by the City Council, development
this property could not occur until a Facilities Management Program is developed for the public facility zone in which t project is located. For further information please see the attached report to the Planning Commission.

I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Notice of Prior Compliance issued by the Land Use Planking Manager and ADOPT Resolution No. 2491 recommending APPROVAL t
CT 85-10/PUD-81 to the City Council based on the findings ant subject to the conditions contained therein.
11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a 196 lot/l89-unit tentative tract map and planned unit development, located as described above. The project proposes 189 single family dwelling units on a 91-acre site in the R-1-10000 zone. Approximately 12 acres are designated open space on the Gene Plan. The proposed density is 2.40 du/ac. This density is conformance with the General Plan residential designation fo the site which is RLM, Residential Low Medium 1-4 du/ac.
The project will consist of single family detached homes on ranging in size from 7,500 square feet to more than 10,000 square feet. Lots 1-54, located south of "A" Street, will
average 12,000 square feet since they are situated closest t large lot residences in Olivenhain. Lots north of "A" Stree
will transition to smaller sizes with a minimum of 7,500 squ feet. Floor plans for the units range from 1,350 to 2,520 square feet.
Access to the property is proposed from Rancho Santa Fe Road across from Avenida La Posta, crossing through the Daniel Shelley property. Secondary access is provided from the nor where "A" Street will connect into Calle Acervo which is bei extended south from the Vista Santa Fe subdivision.
Topographically, the site is characterized by a broad, flat
a large sloping area and several drainages. The major drain area is Encinitas Creek, which crosses the northwest corner the property. A small finger canyon of that creek crosses t northeast corner of the site and supports riparian vegetatio In recent months, the Rice property, as well as the adjoinin
Shelley property, have been graded, and are now largely in t fields. Dirt roads traverse the site.

The riparian area, several archaeological sites, and a ravine containing biological species of importance were not cleared i
the agricultural operations. North of "A" Street, the project will terrace into the ridge, providing views to the north acro Encinitas Creek, for some of the residences.
The properties adjacent to the proposed project on the east an west currently support agricultural operations. These properties are zoned similarly to the subject property, i.e. R-1-20000 and R-1-10000, respectively. To the south lie large lot single family homes in Olivenhain. North of the site are
the Encinitas Creek open space corridor and smaller lot
subdivisions currently under construction.

of the site?
DISCUSSION
General Plan
As mentioned earlier, the proposed density for the project is
2.40 du/ac. This density complies with the Residential Low Medium (RLM) range for the site, 1-4 du/ac, and does not incli the designated Open Space acreage.
Development Standards
The project, as proposed, will meet the standards of the Plan
Development Ordinance. The underlying zoning of R-1-10000 ha been met in the 54 lots south of "A" Street. The remaining 1 lots will average a minimum of 7,500 square feet. In exchang
for clustering smaller lots in the central portion of the sit several large areas will remain in open space, as shown on Exhibit "A". Of the 28.7 acres of open space shown, 16.7 acr are being left in open space for environmental reasons but do have the Open Space designation on the General Plan. The original tentative map was revised to preserve the riparian
vegetation in open space which staff feels will set a precede
for properties to the east.

. 3,
Other standards include setbacks, visitor parking, usable recreation areas, private streets and RV storage. Setbacks f front yards will be twenty feet to assure that no cars will overhang into the private streets. Visitor parking will be sufficient; 20-foot garage setbacks are designed and the priv
streets will allow parking on both sides. Each unit, having
minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet, will easily provide th 200 square feet of usable recreation area. Although not requ to provide common recreational facilities, the project has included three such areas which will have picnic tables, tot
and will be passive in nature (Lots 191, 192 and 193) . Strf
will be 36 feet wide cul-de-sac streets and 40 feet wide thrc streets which actually comply with public street standards.
RV storage, the project will be conditioned to provide a mini of 25 percent of the lots with adequate sideyard for storing
RV's. Finally, all of the units will have at least a two-car garage (many will have three-car garages) with a minimum dimension of 400 square feet, providing adequate storage spac well as parking for two cars.
Design Criteria
The project also conforms with the design criteria of the Plr Development Ordinance. As shown on the site plan (Exhibit B: the project has been designed to maximize the view potential
the Encinitas Creek open space corridor by terracing the unit the site.
Staff had concerns regarding Lots 176-189, which is the only development located on the northern slope adjacent to the
most fill (up to 30 feet) and had 40 foot high 2:l slopes.
Staff felt that the 14 lots were not sensitive to the site's topography, the 2:l slopes which would be quite visible woult look unnatural in the open space corridor; this could be
precedent setting for undeveloped property to the west. The tentative map was revised: the fill required at the western end has been reduced by about 10 feet and 3:l slopes will be
used instead of 2:l.
The internal street system has utilized private street width, and thus is not a dominant feature. Almost 29 acres will rei as open space and this does not include the manufactured slo. which will separate the terraced lots. These slopes will be backyards of the downhill lots which is desirable in terms o homeowner maintenance and privacy. The recreation lots prov visual relief and interest, especially lot 193 which will cr a corridor to the Encinitas Creek floodplain. Landscape
features include stamped paving at the entrance to private
streets, and 10 foot diameter planters at the end of each cu sac.

Environmental Considerations
The proposed design also addresses the environmental sensitiv: of the site. The certified EIR for this property (part of tht Woolley Annexation in 1983) identified sensitive biological
habitat in the 7.8 acre ravine in the southeastern portion of site which is proposed as open space. .Several archaeological sites were found which currently are fenced off from the farm.
operation; they will be mitigated via a data recovery program
prior to approval of a final map. The north-facing slope
adjacent to Encinitas Creek has had landslide activity in the past and thus will be preserved as open space. earlier, the riparian vegetation and adjacent buffer slope ani
hillside also will remain in open space.
Some environmental concern was raised several months ago when the present agricultural operations began. City staff field- checked the site and found that cutting and filling were bein
done in excess of usual clearing for farming. In addition, t riparian creekbed was dammed up by a 10-foot fill for a road.
The topography was reflown and hence decided that the filling several of the smaller ravines was not that significant and t filled portion of the creek was offsite to the east. A site visit on August 28, 1985 showed that two small drain pipes ha been installed under the filled portion of the riparian strea allowing the water to flow through. Several conditions have
and that no further degradation of the creekbed will occur.
Of continuing concern to staff is the potential of erosion an sedimentation when the rainy season begins. Steep dirt roads traverse the north slope of the property as well as lead down and across the creekbed. In addition, a large unplanted, gra area lies at the top of the slope. If this project is approv strict erosion control measures are recommended in the condit for this project to De in place 30 days after the approval of project, which will coincide with the beginning of the rainy season.
Land Use Compatibility -
Staff believes the proposed project will be compatible with t existing large lot residences to the south. Lots 1-8 and 30
31 will abut these existing Olivenhain residences. Lot 1 is
corner lot and has 52,000 square feet: the rest of these lots average about 12,000 square feet. At the closest point, ther
will be approximately 110 feet between th,e closest existing k
and a proposed structure; this occurs at Lot 3. A small bern ranging in height from three feet at the end to nine feet at mid-point will create a visual buffer between the existing residences and the future homes on Lots 1-6.

Properties to the east and west are currently undeveloped but are designated similarly to the subject property.
Creek to the north will remain as an open space corridor. Sta
notes that the planned unit development concept developed for
the proposed project,
transition to smaller lots northward may set a precedent for adjacent properties.
In conclusion, staff believes that the proposed project confor' with the land use recommendations of the General Plan and with
the development standards and design criteria of the Planned
Development Ordinance. In addition, the proposed project is compatible with surrounding land uses and has been designed to adequately address the environmental sensitivities of the site
Therefore, staff recommends approval of CT 85-10/PUD-81.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Carlsbad Traffic Impact Fee Study
<’ .*
by
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc.
April, 1986
Transportation system improvements are needed and will be nee(
in the future based on development trends in the La Costa arel
the City of Carlsbad. The City retained Barton-Aschman
Associates, Inc. to determine the necessary roadway requiremel
to meet existing and future traffic demand, and to recommend
financing method to implement the improvements,
In sequence, the study determined appropriate area boundaries
identified short and long-range developments within the study
area, calculated present and future levels of service on the
transportation network, determined what improvements would be
needed to correct deficiencies, estimated how much money woul
needed to fund the improvements, and finally, evaluated
alternative funding mechanisms for raising the needed revenue
The geometrics of the existing roadway network were taken as
starting point, with all needed improvements to be added to t
existing street system. When so considered, some 46 differen
construction projects were recommended, The projects were pl
into two categories: (1) Those needed now or to satisfy alrea
approved or committed projects, and (2) those additionally ne
in the future as development proceeds to General Plan buildou
-_.

The study determined that projects in the first category tota:
$1 1.5 million, while those needed ultimately total an additioi
$22.5 million. Thus, the total street improvement needs, to
buildout of the General Plan, will cost $34 million.
A dollar assessment per trip generated, to be called a Traffic
Impact Fee, is the recommended financing mechanism. It provid
the most direct tie between new traffic generated by area
development and funds needed to improve roadways to accammodat
new traffic demand. The amount of the fee can be calculated t
dividing the number of future trips to be generated into the
amount of money to be raised. As an example, the $34 million
General Plan buildout could be divided by SANDAG's estimate of
141,242 future trips to be generated, and would result in a pe
daily trip fee of $240.
In setting the per trip fee, the City has several-'options:
7) The project list might be reduced depending on other fundi
sources that might be available.
2) There could be a differentiation between residential trips
and other trips such as commercial or industrial, due to t
phenomenon of "double-counting". -_.
3) The project list might be reduced through the City's
willingness to accept a level of service lower than
"average".

4) The future needs (and future trips generated) might be
reduced through a reduction Of allowable density in the
General Plan.
Because actual development may take place differently than
assumed under the General Plan, the analysis of the Traffic
Impact Fee should be frequently renewed, no less than once evf
two years.
Finally, this type of analysis could be expanded to determine
appropriate roadway improvements and financing mechanisms for
other areas in the City of Carlsbad. -

Michael Holzmiller, Planning Direct0 rJ
The Planning Commission Resolution approved for this project wa
drafted and sent to the Commission before the City Council made
their recent changes regarding the increase to the Public
Facility Fee and the La Costa Traffic Impact Fee. As a result, these actions are not reflected in the Planning Commission Resolution. Staff feels the changes listed below should be incorporated into Council's final documents. An additional
