PLANNING COMMISSION ISSUES - HOSP GROVE
The Planning Commission, in denying the Hosp Grove project at
their hearing on September 17, 1986 discussed a number of issues regarding the projects proposed for the undeveloped portions of
the grove. The first issue was adequacy of the EIR. The
Planning Commission felt that the EIR adequately addressed all
environmental issues and recommended certification of the EIR. The second major issue was the land use trade-off of allowing more intensive development in certain areas of the grove in trade for greater tree preservation and increased buffers for existing
residential use. The Planning Commission did not appear to have
more specifically on the projects. They felt that the original project proposed was superior to the commercial office project now located on Parcel E and that the driveway on Marron Road should be eliminated. They felt that the residential project on Parcel D was too tight". In an effort to preserve as much of the grove as possible, the Planning Commission felt the 108
condominium units were squeezed too tightly into their respective locations (too much development for the site size). Other specific concerns included driveway width and structure distance from existing residences on Parcel D. Based on the above concerns the Planning Commission denied all of the proposed development proposal.
Since the Planning Commission meeting the developer has been willing to work with staff to resolve the concerns of the Planning Commission. The plans on Parcel D have been modified to
units).
additional distance has been provided between the existing residential units and proposed structures.
The developer of Parcel E has been willing to add an additional condition requiring heavier landscaping and the use of more
specimen" size trees and plants to enhance the project. If the
City Council decides to approve the project, staff would propose that the following conditions be added to help satisfy the concerns of the Planning Commission:

11. BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION
85-23(A)/CP-320(A)/GPA/LU 86-10/ZC-348/SDP 86-10/GPA/LU 86-11/2
The proposed project involves development proposals for and
revisions to the remaining undeveloped portions of the Hosp Grc
Master Plan, (Parcels D, E, h F). Parcel D (16 acres) is locat
on the high bluff on the south side of the Plaza Camino Real
Shopping Center, next to Hosp Way. Immediately to the west of
Parcel E (25.5 acres) also is across the street from the shoppj
center and is bisected by Monroe Street. Further west, frontir
on Marron Road and Jefferson Street, next to Buena Vista Lagoor
(duck area), lies Parcel F (9 acres). The existing General P1z
for these parcels is RMH. The Zoning is PC which required the
preparation of the existing Hosp Grove Master Plan (MP-1).
Earlier this year, a residential development proposal for 216
units on Parcel E was heard before the Planning Commission and
City Council. The City Council directed that an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) be prepared for the project and the
undeveloped areas of the Master Plan, analyzing various projec
alternatives for the three parcels. The Master Plan also was t be reviewed and any recommended revisions were to be processed
concurrently when the project was reconsidered by the Council.
Finally, Council directed staff to explore the possibility Of acquiring Hosp Grove. A Council Committee, working in
w *
conjunction with the property owners and concerned citizens,
negotiated two alternatives that they felt would resolve the
issues associated with development in the Grove. The first
alternative is a ballot measure for a bond issue to purchase tl
approximately 50 acres of undeveloped property. If that measu.
is not passed by the voters, a second alternative was agreed u]
by the City and the property owners: Parcel D would be develo]
with 108 dwelling units; Parcel E would have a commercial
development of 96,000 square feet clustered at the corner of
Marron and Monroe; and, Parcel F would be purchased by the Cit:
for parkland. The second alternative although allowing some
development, would yield more overall open space than would th, proposed project or future development under the existing Mast1
Plan.
Based on that agreement between the City and the property owne
revised plans were submitted to the City for a 96,000 square fc
commercial center on Parcel E (versus the 216 unit residential
project) and a 108 unit condominium project on Parcel D (versur
128 units as originally proposed). Staff has worked within tht
parameters established by the above described negotiations , i.c
96,000 square feet of commercial and 108 dwelling units, in
analyzing these projects , with the understanding that the overi
benefit to the City will be increased areas of tree preservatic
and open space in Hosp Grove. Each of the proposals is descril
below -- the planning analysis which follows will be discussed
parcel by parcel, concluding with the proposed amendments to tl
Master Plan.
Parcel D
The proposal for Parcel D is a 1 lot/l08-unit tentative tract I
and condominium permit, located on 15.6 acres. The General P1,
designation for the site is Residential Medium High (RMHI, or I
15 du/acre. The density for Parcel D is 14.2 du/ac; General P
designated open space (7.3 acres) and 40% slope areas ( .7 acre:
are not included when figuring density.
The project will consist of four, eight and twelve unit
buildings, two and three stories in height. Carport and open
parking will be provided, as will a central recreation area wit
a pool, spa, barbeque area, and restrooms. The units are all
two-bedroom and range in size from 966 to 985 square feet.
Access will be taken from Hosp Way. As can be seen on the sitf
plan and tentative map, the proposed development is clustered i
closely as possible in the top, flatter portions of the site,
northern slopes will remain as open space. A walking trail anc
outlook point will be provided on the north slope.

noted earlier, this is one of the three remaining parcels of t
Hosp Grove Master Plan and together with Parcels E and F, it
comprises the last vestiges of the Hosp eucalyptus forest, whi
has been an aesthetic landmark in Carlsbad for many years. Th
to be built on Parcel D.
Parcel E
The proposal for Parcel E is a change of land use on the Gener
Plan, from residential (RMH) to Office (01, Commercial (C) and
Open Space (OS). The discretionary actions include general pl
and Master Plan amendments, a zone change, and a site developm
plan. The proposed project is a 96,000 square foot specialty
commercial center and office complex, located on 10.8 acres at
the intersection of Monroe Street and Marron Road. Office use
would be located entirely on the west side of Monroe (33,850
square feet), with retail commercial and some office on the ea
side (62,150 square feet). Up to three restaurants could loca
within the center east of Monroe; however, there would be no f
food or drive-thrus. Specialty commercial uses would be small
retail establishments, not grocery or drug stores.
Most of the center will be one-story buildings, except for one
building on the east side which will have a second level of
offices. A rural ranch architectural theme is proposed. The
larger buildings will be located against the rising slopes of
eucalyptus trees, with smaller buildings and parking areas
located next to the streets. The primary entrance will be off
Monroe Street, 600-feet south of Marron Road. Another right-
turn-in only entrance is further north on the west side of Monroe, and a right-turn-in, right-turn-out driveway in on Mar.
Road. ,
The commercial proposal allows more open space area to remain
than would the 21 6-unit residential project. Essentially, the
agreement was that the development was not allowed to encroach
any further south than the primary entrance location (600' sou
of Marron). About six acres more of the grove will be preserv
with this proposal versus the original residential project, fo.
total of almost fifteen acres to remain as open space.
Parcel F
This nine acre parcel is presently designated 8-15 du/ac on thc
General Plan and Local Coastal Program, and is allowed 180 unii
by the old Master Plan. The proposed project would redesignatt
.and rezone Parcel F to Open space and would allow the City to
purchase the property in conjunciton with the approval of
commercial use on Parcel E and 108 dwelling units on Parcel D.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 86-4
Certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is
requested. The EIR addresses the environmental impacts
associated with the Hosp Grove Master Plan in terms of two
former development proposals for Parcels D & E and also
alternatives that included the currently proposed pojects on D
E, and F. Major areas of possible environmental concerns are
discussed below:
1. Traffic Circulation
Development under the existing Master Plan would generated 4401
Average Daily Trips (ADT). The proposed alternative, i.e. a
combination of commercial, residential, and open space, would
generate 7854 trips, or an additional 3646 trips. The analysir
showed that the level of Service (LOS) for 8 road segments in
the vicinity remained the same with the alternative project as
with the existing Master Plan: 5 segments did not exceed LOS
IC”, 3 did, for reasons stated in the EIR, but neither short nl
long term significant impacts are expected.
Intersection LOS also was analyzed for the Master Plan which tf
alternative can be compared to -- with the exception of the
intersection of Marron Road and Jefferson Street, the LOS will
remain at ‘C” or above. An explanation for the Marron/Jeffersc
intersection is given later in this report under the zone than<
discussion for the commercial site. Short and long term impac?
are not expected to be significant overall. However, because (
increase in trips is obvious, mitigation is proposed in the
form of public improvements and has been incorporated into the
conditions of approval, as deemed applicable by City Staff.
Short term truck impacts caused by the export of dirt from
Parcel E can also be mitigated so that disruption of the
Marrion/Monroe intersection is minimized.
2. Topography and Visual Aesthetics
Significant impacts were identified for all three parcels if
development occurred in accordance with the Master Plan.
development an the edge of the high north facing slope and
providing a buffer of trees. The 108 unit project has
accommodated this mitigation. Parcel E, as a residential
project, mitigated impact to an acceptable level by landscapin?
and site design measures. As an alternative, the commercial
project was considered environmentally preferable to the
residential because of the larger overall area of trees that
would be retained which would help more so to maintain the
existing aesthetic character of the grove. Parcel F could only
mitigate impacts by a change in land use and the Open space
proposal will obviously acheive that.
Mitigation for Parcel D included not cutting into or putting

3. Archaeology
Redevelopment of Parcels D C E will impact several identified
archaeology sites. Further studies are required to mitigate
these impacts. Parcel F will not have significant impacts if
remains in Open Space.
4. Biological Resources
Although no direct impacts will occur to biological resources
with development of any of the parcels, the proximity to Buena
Vista Lagoon requires sedimentation and grading measures to be
incorporated into the proposed plans for Parcels D and E.
Parcel F, as Open Space, would not result in any impacts to tht
1 agoon.
5. Public Services
Police protection and library services will be incrementally
impacted by the increase in papulation: additional police equipment and future additions to the library will mitigate
these concerns. The school district will charge a developers
fee to ptovide future school facilities.
6. Hydrology and Water Quality
The greatest increase in erosion and sedimentation will occur
during grading and construction of Parcels D and E. In
addition, if upstream erosion is not adequately controlled by
the time the desiltation basin is removed, significant impacts
could occur to the lagoon. Measures will be included in the
conditions of approval to assure no significant impacts occur
the lagoon.
7. Geology and Soils
Development of Parcels D and E could result in impacts relatins
dewatering if adequate measures are not taken to assure that
proper geologic conditions exist before grading or constructior
begins. The conditions of approval reflect the concerns
identified by the report which will mitigate potential hazards
8. Air Quality
Any increase in air pollutant emissions are considered
significant in the San Diego Air Basin. The commercial land US
will increase the number of vehicle trips above what is
anticipated in the Master Plan, and thus, in the Regional Air
Quality Strategies. Mitigation measures that encourage public
transportation and minimize dust and air pollution during
construction are incorporated into the conditions of approval.

Development Standards and Design Criteria
For approval of the condominium permit, the standards of the

requirements, building setbacks from open parking areas,
screening of parking areas, streets t usable recreational spac
storage space, and refuse areas. As proposed, the project wi
meet these standards.

-6-
e a
The project is required to provide 216 resident parking spaces
and 30 guest spaces, totaling 246 spaces. One covered carport
space will be provided per unit. Guest parking has been
distributed equitably throughout the development. Building
setbacks from the parking areas are a minimum of ten feet (five
feet required) and typically more than that. Open parking area
will be screened by landscaping. Private streets will be
utilized, with 26 feet minimum street widths. As shown on the
site plan, two cul-de-sacs provide access to the units from the
driveway entrance on Hosp Way. Adequate turnarounds at the end
of the cul-de-sacs in the form of a hammerhead configuration,
will allow large vehicles to easily maneuver.
The proposed project exceeds the minimum requirements for usabl
recreational space. Every unit has a patio or balcony; there o
major recreation area with a pool, spa, and barbeque area; and
trail and lookout point on the north side. Each unit would be
provided with adequate storage space to meet minimum code requirements,
The design criteria used to formulate the site plan included
several constraints -- preservation of the existing landform
above Marron Road, retention of a tree buffer along that same
ridge top, and provision of and adequate setback from the sing1
family patio homes to the south. The intent of the plan is to
cluster the development in the interior of the site and thus
maintain an appearance of 'the grove" from offsite, especially
the north. As shown on the site plan and tentative map, the
basic criteria have been met. The height of the north facing
essentially slope will be retained. The areas of trees to be
preserved plus eucalyptus tree landscaping on the existing
slopes, and the location of parking -versus buildings on the
northern edge will provide opportunities to create another
eucalyptus grove to shield the development. Finally, the clost
distance between the buildings on Parcel D and the home to the
south is 60 feet, and more commonly 115-150 feet.
Working within the parameters established by City negotiations
(108 units) has caused two somewhat negative aspects of the
project: The development has been pushed out to the west, caus:
large fill slopes (up to 70 feet) and the subsequent removal 0:
some trees in the open space corridor; and, the site plan is
crowded with little openness and three-story buildings within
developed area. These concerns cannot be resolved without a
reduction in the number of units, however, these aspects of thl
project allow for increased open space in Parcels E and F. It
is acknowledged that while 8.5 acres were buildable, accordini
to the Master Plan, the proposed plan only has developed seven
acres.
The landscape plan will help to maintain the unique character
the site by using a eucalyptus (or otherwise Australian) tree
theme for landscaping. Landscape features will include specia

w e
planting treatment for the recreation area, the entry to the
project, entries to the building, outlook point and the perimeti
of the site. Crib walls will be used for retaining walls. The
project has been conditioned to plant the north facing slopes a
the ungraded areas on the ridge top, with eucalyptus trees with
five months after approval of the tentative map.
The architecture of the buildings is appropriately basic for th
purpose of blending into the grove. The buildings will use
stucco and wood and will be painted muted colors, i.e. beige,
brown and gray. Architectural features such as mouton windows,
varying roof lines, and balcony railings add interest to the
elevations. The three-story buildings are designed so that the
second story is basically level with the interior street, has a
catwalk going across, and looks like a two-story building from
10 are two-story.
Environmental Considerations
The proposed design addresses the environmental sensitivity of
the site as much as possible with the1 08-unit development.
Aesthetics and grading were identified as environmental issues.
In response to these issues, the project has been designed to
retain the existing north facing slope and a 50-foot buffer of
trees along the top. The tentative map shows five areas that
have significant clusters of trees -- identified in addition to
these areas, most of the remainder of the top of the slope will
not be disturbed, allowing for an intensive planting program to
occur.

ratios also reflect those uses. The office uses envisioned fol
the second story of the east side commercial center will be
afforded appropriate choices from the diverse uses allowed in 1

reflect these changes.
On the west side of Monroe Street 3.5 acres is shown as an off:

the east side, 7.3 acres are shown as Community Commercial (c),

The proposed Community Commercial and Office designations and
zones comply with the criteria established in the Land Use
Element of the General Plan. The proposed site development pli
includes specialty retail, office, financial and restaurant US<
all of which are considered appropriate and compatible within i
commercial and office categories. The site is located at the
intersection of two secondary arterials, i.e. Marron and Manrot

the land would be designated Open Space, which would provide a
large buffer between residential development located to the ea:

Physical Characteristics of Site
As with Parcel D, design parameters were agreed upon between th
City and the property owners. Not more than approximately 10.8
acres of gross site area (includes graded slopes) and 8.8 acres
of net site area (buildings, etc.. .I were to be disturbed, and
that area could not extend further south than about 600 feet fr
located. Slightly less than 96,000 square feet was the agreed
upon amount of commercial floor space allowed.
The area to be developed on the west side of Monroe Street is
relatively level. The proposed building locations would encroa
slightly into the east-facing slopes; the encroachment is
minimized by retaining walls that raise from 3.5 to 10 feet hig
The topography is quite different on the east side of Monroe.
The land slopes gently upward toward the east and includes a 90
foot high knoll which drops off sharply into a 40% slope. This
knoll and small ridgeline will be cut down 60 feet to accommoda
the commercial development. Also necessary are a cut slope of
about 40 feet behind the eastern buildings and a retaining wall
up to 13.5 feet high. These design features typically indicate
that too much development is proposed on a constrained site. A
reduction in square footage could have pulled the development
away from the slopes. Thus, with high cut slopes, retaining
accommodate the proposed use. The positive aspect of this,
however is the increased amount of undisturbed open space the
City and neighbors are obtaining in other parcels.
Street System
The EIR analyzed the traffic impacts created by a commercial
development in this location and concluded that the levels of
service (LOS) at six intersections in the vicinity would not
change significantly in comparison with residential development
under the Master Plan. The LOS at three of the intersections
remained the same; the other three dropped but not lower than
"C'. The intersection at Marron and Jefferson will operate at
LOS "D" with either residential or commercial development on
Parcel E. However, the EIR points out that a conservative
approach was used in analyzing that intersection by assuming t?
all additional traffic going to the new Hughes Commercial Cent€
would use the intersection of Marron and Jefferson, when in
reality traffic will use some of the other available entrances,
In computing the trip generation, the EIR assumed a separate
generation rate for each proposed use. That approach is
conservative in that some trips made to a specialty commercial
center would be combined, i.e. shopping and banking, banking ax
eating, etc... Thus, the trips generated are higher than what
would occur realistically. In summary, the street system is
adequate to handle the additional traffic generated by the
proposed commercial development.

Site Development Plan
Issues examined in .reviewing the site plan included driveway
architecture and fire safety. The primary entrance is located
Monroe Street 600 feet south of the Marron intersection; this
location meets intersection spacing policies for secondary
arterials. Two other entrances provide access to the center --
on the west side of Monroe, about 280 feet from the intersectio
is right-turn-in only driveway and on Marron a right-turn-in,
right-turn-out is located 360 feet from the intersection.
Because deceleration and acceleration lanes will be provided,
throats are long enough to get cars quickly and safely inside t
center before decisions have to be made by drivers as to where
park. Internal circulation is facilitated by several aisles
with parking bays in-between, which is a basic and functional
design.
Parking requirements were computed based on the two separate li
commercial on the east side, which is 1:200. The spaces needec
are 447 and that is exactly the number provided.
Setbacks were important at the corner of Marron and Monroe to
retain a feeling of visual openness. Therefore, the two
freestanding buildings are set back 40 feet from Monroe and 30
feet from Marron. In this way, there will be adequate space fc
a special landscape entry statement. The landscape plan, whick
is conceptual at this point, proposes a basic eucalyptus tree
theme with accent trees that compliment the eucalyptus. Bouldc
groupings and split rail fences will add interest to the
landscaping around the perimeter. A bermed, or undulating law1
will soften the appearance of the slopes along Monrore and
Marron. The graded slopes behind the center will be replanted
with eucalyptus trees in accordance with standards in the City'
landscape manual and with input from the Fire Department.
As mentioned earlier, the architecture for the proposed projecl
is "rural ranch". As seen on the elevations, the effect is qui
pleasing and blends well with the back drop of the eucalyptus
grove. Building materials will be wood or wood-like with the
design utilizing varying rooflines, open railways and wooden
columns and clerestary windows.
The Fire Department had several concerns which have been
incorporated into the site plan. A five-foot separation betwef
the buildings and the slope bank behind them was important, as
well as breaks in the buildings to allow convenient access beh.
the buildings. Specially marked service spaces for deliveries

addition to the required parking). Finally, a wood shingle roo
will not be allowed -- only Class A materials (for fire
prevention) will be permitted; the project has been conditioned
accordingly.
In conclusion, the site plan meets the requirements of the
applicable ordinances and has complied with the design paramete
originally agreed upon. With further refinement of the landsca
plan, architectural elevations , and sign program (see
conditions), the result should be high quality commercial
center.

Lagoon, is ideal for open space property. The site is used by
people who park their cars to visit the duck feeding area. Thc
ducks apparently sleep on Parcel F in the evenings.

EXHIBIT "X" a m SEPTEMBER 17, 19
The following items constitute the Planning Commission's
environmental findings for this project. The mitigation meas
listed below describe the project changes which reduce these
impacts to insignficant levels.
A. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
Impact: An increase in trips will result from the prop
alternative because commercial use typically h
higher generation rate than residential.
Mitigation: The additional trips can be accommodated with
(1) construction of Monroe Street as a seconda
arterial with additional deceleration/accelera
lanes serving the commercial center, (2) upgra of the sivnal light at MarronIMonroe intersect
(3) bond and prepare plans for a traffic siqnc
Street "A" of the commercial center entrance i
Monroe Street for when a future signal is
warranted.
Impact: Hosp Way, and Jefferson Street west of Marron
will have a level of Service F with the trips
generated by the proposed project.
Mitigation: These two roadway segments are classified as
residential streets with a maximum of 500 ADT
which is already exceeded by existing ADT. TI
streets can be reclassified as Collector stret
to accommodate existing and future ADT.
Impact: The grading operation for Parcel E will requi
export of 124,000 cubic yards of dirt which CI
have a short-term impact on surrounding stree
!
I Mitigation: The use of cutoffs and flagmen will help to
I
I
i minimize impacts at the Marron/Monroe
intersection. Such condition will be part of
final grading plan approval.
B. TOPOGRAPHY AND VISUAL AESTHETICS
Impact: Parcel D -- Adverse impacts would occur in th
the existing slope above Marron Road would be
down 30 feet, no buffer of trees would be
retained, and three-story buildings were with feet of the edge of the slope.
e .. Mitigation: The project was redesigned to maintain the
existing landform, provide a 50-foot tree buffe
plus tree planting on the slopes, and has locat
buildings in the interior of the site.
Impact: Parcel E -- The landform will be significantly
altered -- an existing 90 foot high knoll and
associated 40% slope will be cut down; and
regraded slopes up to 40 feet in height will be
created to accommodate flat pads necessary for
commercial development.
Mitigation; The proposed project allows preservation of 14.
acres of Hosp Grove. A vigorous landscape pro$
will be required to replant the graded slopes
behind the buildings and a compatible landscape
theme will be used in the commercial center. -
architecture and building materials will be
compatible with the surrounding grove.
Impact: Parcel F -- Residential development according
the Master Plan will result in significant
impacts due to the site's visible location and
its proximity to the lagoon.
Mitigation: The proposed open space use will mitigate all
visual impacts.
C, ARCHAEOLOGY
Impact: Archaeological sites are located on all three
parcels and will be affected by development on
Parcels D and E.
Mitigation: Appropriate conditions have been placed on the
project to satisfy state requirements for
archaeological mitigation, i.e. a data recover
program.
D. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Impact: As an indirect impact to the habitats in Buenz
Vista Lagoon, runoff and sedimentation could
potentially impact the lagoon.
Mitigation: Appropriate erosion-control and grading
procedures have been conditioned on the projec
-2-
e a
E. PUBLIC SERVICES
Impact: sehod facilities are at or near capacity.
Mitigation: Only one of the three parcels will be developec
residentially; school impact fees will be
required to be paid to allow the school ~istric
to provide temporary facilities for overcrowdi~
Impact: Police services will be incrementally impacted,
Mitigation: Additional personnel and equipment will offset
the increase in population and new areas of
patrolling.
Impact: The City Library is currently at book capacity
Mitigation: Additional Library facilities will be provided
part of the City's future Capital Improvement
P rogr am.
F. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Impact: Potential increases in erosion and sediment
production will occur during grading and
construction.
Mitigation: Erosion control measures must be shown on fina
grading plans and approved by the City. Drain
and sediment control facilities will be instal
prior to grading. Landscape conditions includ
5 year bond to ensure that tree plantings and
other landscape elements are growing successfu
Also, the city's street sweeping program will
include the project area after it develops.
Impact: Removal of the existing desiltation basin cou!
cause sedimentation impacts to the lagoon if
upstream problems are not controlled when it
removed.
Mitigation: A temporary desiltation basin will be built ii
the southern portion of Parcel E to control
existing offsite erosion problems. It will
remain in place until erosion of the adjacent
property is controlled satisfactorily to the
City.

G. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Impact: Portions of the property are encumbered by
geological constraints, including settlement,
slope instability, groundwater, dewatering, and
seismic shaking.
Mitigation: As part of the grading plan approval, the
recommendations of the geotechnical study will
implemented. The study will be updated as
necessary to reflect the proposed commercial
development instead of the former residential
project. Additional subsurface investigation l
engineering analysis also is required as part I
the final design.
H. AIR QUALITY
Impact: Development of Parcels D and E will contribute
air pollutant emissions to the San Diego Air
Basin.
Mitigation: Public transit facilities, i.e. a bus stop wil
provided. Sidewalk improvements will allow
pedestrian access to the commercial center fro
nearby residential areas. The Grading Ordinan
