A
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending tha
City Council direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare
documents APPROVING GPA/LU 86-12.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The proposed amendment would add the following wording to t
Land Use Element of the General Plan:
,411 legally existing R-2 lots, as of December 1, 1986, be developed with a two-family residence regardless of
density allowed by their General Plan designation if th
can comply with all applicable development standards in effect at the time of their development and if the foil
findings can be made:
1. That the project will provide sufficient addiitiona:
public facilities for the density in excess of the
control point to ensure that the adequacy of the C: public facilities plans will not be adversely impac

2. That there have been sufficient developments appro!
in the quadrant at densities below the control- poir cover the units in the project above the control pc
so the approval will not result in exceeding the
quadrant limit.
Last year staff became aware that many of the existing R-2 1
in Carlsbad would exceed the density allowed by their Genera
Plan designation if they were developed .with a duplex. Thiz mainly due to a recent lowering of the RM General Plan
designation from 4-10 du/ac to 4-8 du/ac. A number of exist
vacant lots in La Costa would exceed 8 du/ac if developed wi duplex. In the older part of town due to their small size a
number of R-2 lots would exceed their General Plan designati
regardless of the density allowed by the RM General Plan
designation.
There are i500 R-2 lots in the City of Carlsbad, 390 (78%) ha
been developed with duplexes, 77 (15%) have single family ho
on them and 33 (7%) are vacant. The proposed amendment woul
not guaran-tee an existing R-2 lot could be developed with a
duplex. AIL1 proposed duplexes would have to comply with all applicable development standards.

Page Two of Agenda Bill No. 9F,,y&
The proposed amendment could possibly result in a maximum o
additional 143 units split between the northeast and southe
quadrants. This number is a maximum and in reality could b
substantially lower since many R-2 lots in the older part o
have recently been developed with a single family home or a: small for a duplex. This would not affect the quadrant numl
established by the Growth Management Ordinance because when
calculating the number of each existing R-2 lot, they were
calculated as having a potential of two units.
Staff has received numerous letters in support of this amen!
and one in opposition. The Planning Commission approved th
proposed amendment by a vote of 6-1. For more information
the attached staff report of May 6, 1987.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will
cause any significant environmental impacts and, there-Fore,
issued a Negative Declaration, dated December 10, 1986, whic
approved by the Planning Commission on May 6, 1987. A copy
the environmental documents is on file in the Planning
Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
The increased need for City capital facilities resulting frc
this request will be offset by the payment of the public facilities fee. Any capital facilities related directly to
development will be constructed and paid for by the dewelopc
when the lots are developed.
Increased operating expenses related to this request will bf
offset to some extent, from increased tax or fee revenue gene
by future development. No detailed economic impact analysi:
been conducted at this time so predictions of the portion 01
operating expenses covered by additional operating revenue
created as a result of this request cannot be made.

FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUB3ECT: GPA/LU 86-12 - CITY OF CARLSBAD - An amendment to 1
text of the Land Use Element of the General Plan tc
allow existing R-2 .lots to be developed with two fi
residences regardless of the density allowed by tht
General Plan designation.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission -recommend APPROVAL of the Negat
Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resoll
No. 2633 recommending APPROVAL of GPA/LU 86-12 per staff's
recommendation to the City Council based on the findings
contained therein.
11. PR03ECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed General Plan amendment would add the following
wording to the Land Use Element of the Carlsbad General Plan
All legally existing R-2 lots, as of December 1, 1986, m
developed with a two-family residence regardless of the
density allowed by their General Plan designation if the
comply with all applicable development standards in effe
the time of their development.
The purpose of the R-2 zone is to allow lots to be developed
duplexes. Staff recently reviewed the C.ity's Zoning, Genera
Plan and Local Coastal Plan maps to bring them into conforma
During this review staff became aware that most of the exist
R-2 lots in Carlsbad would exceed the density allowed by the
General Plan designation if they were developed with a duple
The problem of inconsistency between the R-2 zoning and Gene
Plan densities has not arisen before due 'to two reasons:
1) Very few duplexes have been developed during the pa
few years on the small R-2 lots in the older part o
town.
I/ ..
m 0
2) In the two areas of La Costa zoned R-2 all of the
have a General Plan designation of RM, Residential
Medium, Up until 1986 RM had a density range of 4
du's/ac. A recent lowering of the density ranges
throughout the City has changed this to 4-8 du's/a
Some of the existing, vacant R-2 lots in La Costa
exceed 8 du's/ac if they were developed with a dup
While preparing this report staff made an inventory of the I
lots in the City of Carlsbad. There are 500 R-2 lots in thc
of Carlsbad, 390 (78%) have been developed with duplexes, 7'
(15%) have single family homes on them and 33 (7%) are vacar
Property zoned R-2, Two Family Residential, exists in five
sectiorrs of Carlsbad. See Exhibits "A" through 'lE1',
In the northern portion of La Costa, see Exhibit IIA'I, there
231 Lots zoned R-2, All but 15, of these lots have been
developed. with duplexes. In the southern portion of La Cos
see Exhibit "B", there are 113 lots zoned R-2, All but 13
these lots have been developed with duplexes. As shown by
Exhibits "A" and "8't the vast majority of development in th
areas consists of recently constructed duplexes. It is sta'
opinion that development of the remaining vacant lots with
family homes would not be compatible with the surrounding dl
development.
In the Terramar area, along Carlsbad Boulevard, there are tc
lots zoned R-2, see Exhibit "C". Five of these lots have bc
developed with duplexes, two with single family residences
three are vacant. These lots have an area of approximately
square feet and would have a density of 15.3 du's/ac if devc
with a duplex. This would exceed the density allowed by th areas General Plan designation of RLM, 0-4 du's/ac,
During a recent review of the General Plan, Zoning and Local
Coastal Plan to establish consistency, the Commission did nc
support staff's recommendation to change this site's zoning
1 to correspond to its RLM, 0-4 du'slac General Plan design;
The Commission directed staff to come up with. a procedure tc
allow these lots to be developed with.duplexes. Staff belit
that the proposed change to the text of the General Plan wil
accomplish this.
The fourth area zoned R-2 is bounded by 3efferson Street, Hi
Street, Magnolia Avenue, Palm Avenue and Roosevelt Street a1
sometimes referred to as "the Barrio", see Exhibit "0". Thc
are approximately 112 lots zoned R-2 in this area. Sixty-fc
these lots have been developed with duplexes, 47 with singlc
family residences and one is vacant. Many of the lots along
Madison and Roose.velt Street have older single family homes
may be. redeveloped with duplexes at some future date. Agair of these lots would exceed their General Plan designation 01
du's/ac if they were developed with a duplex.
-2-
m e
The fifth area zoned R-2 fs'located along Garfield Street r:
and south of Tamarack Avenue, see Exhibit I'E" There are 34
zoned R-2 in this area. Twenty-eight of these lots have be
developed with single family residences, five with duplexes
one is vacant. Most of th single family residences in thes
are relatively old and will probably be replaced with duple
some future date. Most of these lots are relatively small
would have a density of 15-20 du'slac if developed with a d
This density would be in conformance with the site's Genera
d.esignation of RH, Residential High density 15-23 du's/ac.
As mentioned earlier the intent of this General Plan amcndm
to allow existing lots zoned R-2 to be developed with a dup
regardless of the density allowed by their General Plan
designation. This amendment does not guarantee that these
can be developed with a duplex. Any proposed duplex must c(
with all applicable development standards in effect at the
of their development.
The purpose of this General Plan amendment is fairness. As
mentioned earlier over 3/4.of the lots zoned R-2 in Carlsbac
already been developed with duplexes. Most of the existing
vacant R-2 lots, especially in the La Costa area are surroub
by duplexes. One of the goals of the Carlsbad General Plan
provide a variety of housing types. The R-2 zone which all
the development of two family residences helps to fulfill tt
goal. Staff has received numerous phone calls from owners (
owners have asked staff how they can develop their property
a duplex now that the recent revision of the General Plan dc
ranges has lowered the allowable density on their property.
Another option the Commission could consider would be to dor
zone the properties to R-1, which would allow for the lots t
developed with a single family residence only. Staff belie\
that this would not be an equitable solution especially in :
of the areas where the vast majority of the R-2 lots have a1
been developed with duplexes. In addition, an across the bc
down zoning to bring the zoning into conformance with the Ge
Plan density ranges would eliminate almost all of the R-2 zc
in Carlsbad.
The proposed amendment to the General Plan could result in a
additional 143 units in Carlsbad if every R-2 lot developed
lot being developed with a duplex and every R-Z lot with a s
family home on it being redeveloped with a duplex. Staff
believes that 143 units spread throughout five sections of t
City will not have an adverse impact on public facilities.
addition, ,some R-2 lots have recently constructed single fam
homes ,on them that will not be removed in the near future.
may not be -possible to construct a duplex on some of the sma
R-2 lots in the older part of Carlsbad and comply with curre
development standards for such things as parking and setback
vacant duplex lots in La Costa and Terramar. These propert!
its full potential. .This number is based on every vacant R-
-3-
W *
Staff felt that the appropriate way to address this issue v
add wording to the text of the General Plan rather than chz
the R-2 lots General Plan designation to a higher density I
Similar wording has already been included in the text of tt-
General Plan to address property zoned R-1-7500 with a Gene
Plan designation of RLM, 0-4 du's/ac. The R-1-7500 zoning
results in a density of 5 du's/ac which exceeds the 0-4 du'
range. The proposed wording to address R-2 lots would be i to this section of the Land Use Element.
In conclusion, staff recommends approval of the proposed Ge
Plan amendment to enable owners of R-2 lots to develop thei
property in conformance with surrounding development,
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will
have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore
issued a Negative Declaration on December IO, 1986.

Dear Mr. Holtzmiller :
This letter is to request your office to schedule a public
hearing for G.P.A./LU 86-12 so that we can get an ammendment
in effect for the duplexes existing on Levante Street and
Luciernaga Street belonging to Mrs. Neldner and blrs. Threlkeld
respectively. The address on Lavente Street is 2217 and 2219
and on Luciernaga Street 2821 and 2823.
Both these buildings were designed and built to be condomini-
umized, taking into consideration all of the particulars and
the double party wall that exist in both these structures,
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Respectfully yours, r".

Regarding Lot 120 La Costa South #1
Attention Mr. Michael Holzmiller;
Ten years ago I purchased a R-2 lot on Levante as an investment.
During the sewer moratorium I was required to purchase two sewer
permits. I also paid for, and had installed, two water meters.
Several months ago I decided to sell. The lot sold, but the sale
fell through when it was discovered that the square footage of the lc
no longer met the requirements for a duplex, even though it’s still 2
R-2.
Hence I own a duplex lot, two sewer permits, and two water
meters, but am unable to build a duplex on this lot. It came to my
attention that Mr. House was working on an ammendment to allow
duplexes to be built on smaller lots previously zoned R-2. I am
requesting that you please schedule this ammendment before the
Planning Commission.
Thank-you,

Subject: General Plan Amendment to change R-2 lot zone tc Single Dwelling lot zone La Costa South Unit. No.
Reference: Lot 135 of La Costa South Unit No. 1 owned by
William H. Gottwald and Carl H. Gottwald
Dear Mr. Holzmiller:
It is my understanding that the above referenced lot is incl in a General Plan Amendment to change the current R-2 zoninc
this lot to a Single Dwelling lot zone. If so, my brother E are very concerned over such a change since we planned to bL
on this property and occupy the two units ourselves.
We purchased this lot specifically because it is zoned R-2 E
was in an area already built-up with R-2 units. It seems VE unreasonable that the very few remaining R-2 unimproved lots
this area are being considered for a change to Single Dwelli
units .
We ask, that if the referenced lot is part of a General Plar
Public Hearing with the Planning Commission be scheduled re-
garding the zone change.

Re: Lot 179, La Costa Meadows Unit No. 1
Dear Mr. Holzmiller:
It is my understanding that the recent enactment of the Gener
Plan by the City of Carlsbad has changed the zoning of my Lot
from R-2 (duplex) to R-1 (single residence). I originally pu
chased this lot in 1971 zoned as R-2, and suitable for constr
of a duplex. I have concerns such as :
Pl,anning Director
o My lot was down zoned without notice to me
o Nearly all lots in this area have duplexes constructed them
e Building of a single family residence on Lot 179 would
inconsistent with the surrounding area
e Am sure this was not the objective of the City of Carl in the enactment of the General Plan.
It would appear to make "zoning sense" to return Lot 179 to a R-2 classification. I request that General Plan Amendment (GPA-LU86-12) be presented promptly to the Planning Commissio permitting Lot 179 to be developed as R-2 (duplex), regardles
of the density.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please keep
advised of any proceedings in regard to my Lot 179.
Sincerely,
U~.L

REF: R-2 Lot 142 La Costa South Unit #1
APN 216-190-36
Dear Mr. Holzmiller:
I purchased the above referenced lot in 1969, 18 years ago. In September of 1986, I put this lot in escrow: I bought an
R-2 Lot. Every lot on Sacada Circle has two units built on i
(R-2 Lot). Sacada Circle is of considerable size and there are approximately two or three lots that have not been
developed.
In November of 1986, the party I was selling the lot to told me they could not build two units on my R-2 Lot. On February
26, 1987 we mutually agreed to end the escrow. I spent close to $2,500.00 on lawyer's fees. It is a damn shame, these people wanted a long escrow so they could obtain architectura plans before escrow closed and they also lost alot of money.
I -already had the money anticipated from the sale spent. I have been back tracking ever since.
I have written to Mike Howes several times regarding this matter. He now writes me stating khat the reversing of the
density (that I may build two units on my property) is in you
hands. You received a copy of his letter to me (dated
February 17, 1987). Let's have fair play. I've owned Lot 14
for 18 years, I bought an R-2 lot. Please write to me and
explain what is happening.
In addition, when can I expect a reversal in density? Please give the same consideration to a hardworking person as you
would give to a large corporation.

Gentlemen:
I object to allowing at this time the development of R-2 lots,
regardless of density as set by the City's Master Plan.
As I understand it, this plan was approved by the City Council
and density limits were set in order to insure that space was
crowded conditions.
Now this proposal under consideration would allow additional '
development even though the area has been developed to the
density of the plan's capacity. This change would result in
over crowded conditions, additional traffic problems, over
loading our police and fire departments and other city services.
A few who now have undevelqed R-2 lots would profit at the
expense of the entire population of Carlsbad.
I urge you to abide by the Master Plans density limits and
goals.
provided for development' without creating chaos and over
