The Engineering Department initiated this amendment in order to m( a1 ignment of Coll ege Boul evard between Pal omar Airport Road and Poi nset Subsequent to the map’s original approval in 1985, several alignments o Boulevard have been investigated. The recommended alignment has a horizontal aspect, more closely foll ows the natural terrain, and wi 11 a1 1 access to properties in the area. All changes required to accommodate the new alignment of College Boule been made to the revised tentative map, including the realignment of Co Road and the addition of Golden Road. During the amendment process, the property owner proposed mi nor modi f i c the subdivision including: 1) the widening of building pads causing th ten (10) units, 2) the widening of the approved interior streets to 36 cul-de-sac streets to 30’ and 3) the lowering of the overall site by th allow for a balanced grading operation. The City Engineer determined Planning Commission concurred, that these onsite changes are a benef design and in substantial conformance with the original subdivision api The conditions of the original tentative map have been amended to re revised tentative map and additional conditions were imposed to ensure project. The amended conditions are contained in Planning Commission F No. 2849 which is attached as an exhibit. The property owner has agrc amended and added conditions. The project complies with all the requirements of the Zoning Ordir Subdivision Map Act, and the Hillside Ordinance. As proposed and condi also complies with the adopted performance standards required by t Management Ordinance. The proposed density of 2.65 du’s/acre is consi the site’s General Plan designation of RLM (0-4 du/ac) and is below control point of 3.2 du/ac. On June 4, 1989, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended apprl 84-32(A)/PUD-73(A) and added two conditions: 1) the limitation of grad #218 to the construction of the temporary desiltation basin to the sa of the City Engineer, and 2) the widening of cul-de-sac streets to 32 f possible, to allow for additional parking at the discretion of thc FACILITIES ZONE LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PLAN GROWTH CONTROL POINT NET DENSITY SPECIAL FACILITY FEES 20 AP PROV ED 3.2 2.65 REQU I RED I 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 e 0 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2848 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CARL CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A MITIGATED NEG, DECLARATION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO A TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND PL, DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF PALOMAR AI' APPLICANT: COBBLESTONE SEA VILLAGE ROAD AND EAST OF FUTURE COLLEGE BOULEVARD, CASE NO.: CT 84-32(A) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on the 3rd day of and on the 7th day of June, 1989 hold a duly noticed public prescribed by law to consider said request, and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and cons testimony and arguments, examining the initial study, analyzing the submitted by staff, and considering any written comments received, 1 Commission considered all factors relating to the Mitigate Declaration.

The realignment follows a canyon, instead of crossing a canyon less grading. From an engineering standard, the realignment would reduce the number of curves and and would allow improved intersection spacing.

The drainage course contains wetlands. It is the Department of Fish and Game‘s policy to oppose projects h result in a net loss of either wetland acreage or wetland values. We recommend against certification of the Negati Declaration until impacts to wetlands are quantified and wetland compensation plan is formulated. This wetland compensation plan should be designed to create wetland by conversion of non-sensitive uplands in such a manner as t eliminate any net loss of wetland acreage and any net 10s wetland habitat values.

This notification (with fee) and the subsequent ag must be completed prior to initiating any such changes. Notification should be made after the project is approved lead agency. In summary, the project would result in a net loss of wet acreage and wetland habitat values. We consider these im be significant adverse impacts associated with project implementation. Consequently we find that the use of a N Declaration of project impact is contrary to the reqcirem the California Environmental Quality Act reyarding proper environmental documentation.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The numbered items below refer to the initial study checklist 1. Earth - A preliminary grading plan for the realignment reduced grading when compared to the earlier a] alignment. The approved grading required 791,500 cubic of earthwork. The proposed grading would entail 388,50C yards. Instead of crossing a canyon, the realignment follow a canyon. In terms of the impact in and of j without the comparison, the road is a circulation elemer and the amount of earthwork involved is not significant mile-long segment of major arterial roadway. The entire road will not be constructed now, but will IC as development projects in the vicinity are approved. Tt as each phase of development occurs, detailed soils repc be required to ensure that no unstable geologic conditio when grading begins. -7- 1$ e DISCUSSION OF ENVIRO ..&TAL EVALUATION (Continued) 2. & - The realignment will not cause significant impacts quality. The number of vehicle trips from this arterial roadway has been included in regional traffic Since there would be less grading involved, the shc construction impacts would be reduced. 3. Water - The proposed alignment crosses a narrow drainage running parallel to and about 450 feet south of Palomar Road will include drainage improvements that will beneficial effect on local stream flow, 4. Plant Life - Impacts by the construction of realigned Boulevard would occur to one-half acre of good coast, scrub, one and one-half acres of disturbed coastal sage and less than 0.1 acre of willow scrub. These habitat as patches surrounded by disturbed weedy areas and cul fields. The impacts are not considered significant. Th I1 Local Coastal Program (Policy 4 - 3B) which covers th exempts circulation element roads from mitigation. A report is on file with the Planning Department. 5. Animal Life - No sensitive species would be directly in although foraging area for raptors would be lost. This considered a significant impact because the foraging a no nesting habitat in it, and there are other ope] nearby. - Noise - The proposal to realign the road will not impac levels. When construction begins, there will be shc construction impacts; however, the road improvements made generally in concert with or before resj development occurs in the vicinity. There will be IC unavoidable noise impacts related to increased arterial volumes. However, since no residential developme occurred yet as mitigation of potential future noise j future projects will be conditioned to do project- noise studies to determine appropriate- setbacks so tha impacts will be avoided. 7. Liaht and Glare - Street lighting will be a part of construction phases of the road. The street lighting safety purposes and will not produce adverse glare. 8. Land Use - The proposed realignment divides several prc and creates small slivers of land with separate owner: mitigate potential impacts. Land swaps or condemnati occur as a condition of this negative declaration so t City is not obligated to provide access for a small par( a major arterial roadway, in conflict with intersection requirements. 6. -8- DISCUSSION OF ENVIRO 0 TAL EVALUATION (Continue,, The planned land use of the area is primarily residentia Some office- Since the area is not yet built, the real can be coordinated into future development project appropriate landscaping, buffers, setbacks, etc. Natural Re SOUrCeS = Not applicable. 9. 10.

However, a facilities plan, per the City's Growth Management Orc must be approved prior to any building occurring in thi Since at lease three development proposals have been SL before the alignment was changed, this proposal considered significant to population growth. 12. Housinq - See number 11 above. 13. TransDortation/Circulation - The realignment o Circulation Element Road would have a positive effect or traffic circulation. Engineering standards would be bet with the realignment, in that it would reduce the nu curves and vertical grades, and would improve inter spacing. The realignment also provides for the intersec College and Alga at Poinsettia, which previously was off feet. Existing transportation will not be affected beca road is not constructed yet. Future construction of Boulevard and subsequent vehicular use will imprc Citywide circulation system because traffic will be c off of Palomar Airport Road, onto College and Poir parking will not be allowed on the future road; sidewa bike lanes will be provided. 14. Public Services - Road maintenance will be required af roadway is constructed. This is not considered a sigr impact on city services. 15.

RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2848 Recommending AP the Mitigated Negative Declaration dated August 10, 1988 issued by the Director (State Clearinghouse # SCH 88081005); and adopt resolution recommending APPROVAL of CT 84-32(A)/PUO-73(A) based on the findings I therein. 11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND This Project is a City initiated amendment to a previously approved 1 Tract Map (CT 84-32) located as described above. The Tentative Tract Planned Development Permit for this project was reviewed and approve1 Planning Commission on August 14, 1985. As part of that appro\ subdivision was conditioned to improve College Boulevard to Palomar AirC to serve as its primary access. The alignment of College Boulevard as or approved as shown on attached Exhibit "6". During review of the imp plans for this subdivision, the alignment of College Boulevard from Airport Road to Poinsettia Lane was investigated and additional alignme developed. Exhibit "C" shows the alignment preferred by staff. This a is favored because it has a straight horizontal aspect and it more follows the natural terrain. Also, this alignment follows a north/sout from Poinsettia Lane to Palomar Airport Road and will allow easier ac properties in this area. Affected property owners have been notif additional environmental review has been performed. Two onsite changes will be required of CT 84-32 because of the College Bc realignment. First, the realignment of Cobblestone Road and second, the q of Golden Road. The Cobblestone Road realignment closely follows the c College Boulevard a1 ignment and meets a1 1 Engineering Department stand2 a collector street. Golden Road is proposed to provide secondary accesi project and will require substantially less grading onsite and offsite 1 COBBLESTONE SEA (ILLAGE 0 DATE: JUNE 7, 1989 PAGE 2 8. ---i .1 , __ orig@ally approved secondary access. Other minor modification i) a loss of ten (10) units to create wider pads widening of the approved cul-de-sac streets from 24’ to 30’ to pr( openness to the‘project and iii) the lowering of the overall site b, to al’lOW for a balanced grading plan These modifications are not c substantial and result in an improved project. *‘ &WRision include: 111. ANALYSIS 1. Do the proposed alignments conform to City Standards? 2. Are the proposed changes consistent with the adopted Local F Management Plan for Zone 20? 3. Are the proposed changes consistent with the City’s General Plan Coastal Program? 4. Are there adverse environmental consequences of the proposed am1 DISCUSSION The approved project contains a7 ignments for College Boulevard, Cobblest, and a secondary access which are less sensitive to terrain and requ grading to construct than the proposed amendment. Specifically, the quantities for the secondary access and Cobblestone Road were appro 600,000 cubic yards. The proposed grading quantities for College Bo Cobblestone Road and Golden Road are approximately 337,000 cubic yard. Cobblestone Sea Village was approved, the intersection of Alga Road/Po Lane was not established. Subsequently the Pacific Rim subdivision was p which fixed this intersection approximately 500 feet west of the Boulevard/Poinsettia Lane Intersection. The proposed modification will e this offset, reduce grading quantities, and provide better access to parcel s. In addition to the alignment changes initiated by the City, the properi of CT 84-32 has proposed to delete 10 lots, widen the cul-de-sac stret 24’ to 30’ and to lower the overall site 2’ to balance the grading opc comply with current City Standards. The City Engineer has determined thai changes proposed are a benefit to the design and in substantial conformar the original subdivision approval. The City’s General Plan and Local Coastal Program (LCP) contain polici require development to not adversely impact sensitive resources. The alignment conforms to the General Location of College Boulevard, as depi both the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program Maps. The amended a1 reduces potential impacts to sensitive Coastal Resources. Therefore the p amendment is consistent with both the City’s General Plan and Local ( Program. Staff believes the proposed amendments improve the design of this proj COBBLESTONE SEA $LAGE 0 DATE: JUNE 7, 19 PAGE 3 8 IY. ENVIRONMENTAL REV I EW The Planning Director issued a Mitigated Negative Declaration for th on August 10, 1988. That Negative Declaration was sent to the Clearing 30 days of Public review (SCH #88081005). One comment was rece California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) (letter attached). recommends against certification of the Negative Declaration until thl to wetlands are quantified and a compensation plan has been formulate1 requirements have been satisfied. (See discussion below as well as a to Exhibit No. 2). The Initial Study prepared for this project indicated that the proposed,d of College Boulevard would affect an existing biological habitat by eli 0.02 acres of riparian woodland habitat. A conceptual habitat compensai has been proposed that would reduce the potential riparian impacts to of insignificance. A Condition has been added to the project that woulc the precise compensation to be approved by the Planning Direct,or prio final map approval Staff has investigated the area and consulted biologist and has 'found that suitable sites exist adjacent to the project to reestablish the habitat affected by the new alignment of Boulevard.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1) CT 84-32(A)/PUD-73(A) COBBLESTONE - A City initiated Amendment to Tentative Map (CT 84-32/PUD-73) to modify roadway alignments and project design on property located sou.th of Palomar Airport Road and east of College Boulevard located within Local Facilities Management Zone 20. Gary Wayne, Principal Planner, reviewed the background of the request and staced that this project is a City-initiated request to amend a previously approved Tentative Tract Map (CT 84-32) and Planned Development Permit (PUD 73) to modify roadway alignments. The original map/pemit was approved in 1985 and was conditioned to improve College Boulevard to Palomar Airport Road. During review of the improvement plans for the Cobblestone subdivision, the alignment of College Boulevard from I'alornar Airport Road to Poinsettia Lane was investigated and additional alignments were developed to eliminate a 500 ft. intersection offset created by the Aviara Master Plan. The proposed modification will also reduce grading quantities and provide better access to adjacent parcels. In addition to ,the alignment, the property owner has proposed to delete ten lots from his subdivision and to widen the interior street.s to 36 ft. and the cul-de-sacs to 30 ft. and CO M M ISSIC June 7, 1989 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 2 I lower the overall site by approximately two feet. some concerns regarding the grading of the open space lot (Lot 218) and the applicant has agreed to minimize grading on this lot to only that amount required for the desiltation bas in. During the environmental review, it was found that the proposed alignment would eliminate approximately two one hundredths (.02) of an acre of riparian woodland along Encinas Creek. Staff has investigated the area and upon consultation with a local biologist, has determined that there are suitable sites adjacent to the roadway to effect a mitigation. A condition has been added to require a wetland compensation plan approved by the Planning Director prior to recordation of any final map. more restrictive conditions to ensure a better project, and the applicant has agreed to the conditions. A copy of Bill Hofman's letter dated June 6, 1989 is filed with these minutes. Commissioner Erwin inquired if there would be a parking restriction 011 the 30 ft. roads. Mr. Wojcik replied that the road must be at least 32 ft. wide in order to accommodate parking. Parking will be provided on the 36 ft. streets. Conmissioner Erwin noted that the map shows Ruby Way as a 30 ft. vide cul-de-sac and, therefore, Lots 137-142 and 150-155 would not have on-street parking. Mr. Wayne replied that this is correct. Commissioner McFadden noted that Condition 111 on page two of Resolution No. 2849 requires building elevations to be approved by the Planning Director. what type of product will be built. elevations have not yet been provided by the applicant. Commissioner I4cFadden noted that construction will be in two phases and inquired if the grading would also be in separate phases. Mr. ldayne replied that the applicant could address that item. Staff had Staff has also added other She would like to know Mr. Wayne replied that Chairman Hall opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak. Bill Hofman, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday, Suite 120, Carlsbad, representing the property owner, addressed the Commission and stated that his client, Davidson Communities, has agreed to the conditions and the staff recommendation. He stated that grading would be done in one phase due to the construction of College Boulevard. Commissioner IkFadden's inquiry about the product, he stated that the product is currently being developed and floor plans should be subinitted to staff within one month. He reiterated his letter of intent regarding a reduction of grading on the open space lot. Chairman Hall inquired how many builders would be involved. Mr. Hofman replied that there would be two builders: Davidson Conmimities and California Communities. Commissioner :%win inquired about the logic of the 30 ft. roads. Mr. Hisfman replied that the roads were originally approved at 2A ft. and staff requested they be widened to a In response to minimum of 30 ft, He will attempt to increase the width of I June 7, 1989 HA,N”NG COMMISSION Page 3 I the cul-de-sacs to 32 ft. to accommodate some parking, especially on the longer street. There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Hall declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Commissioner Erwin would like all roads to be a minimum of 32 ft. to accommodatie parking. Commissioner Schlehuber thinks that is a goad idea but project. Mr. Wayne replied that a condition could be added to leave the road widths to the discretion of the Planning Director, and staff will work with the applicant during the final map stage to increase the widths. Commissioner McFadden stated that she is happy to see the added conditions regarding abrogation of easements and notification to future buyers. She feels the amendment is an improvement over the original approval and can support the project with the two added conditions. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to adopt Resolution No. 28.48 recommending approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration dated August 10, 1988 issued by the Planning Director (State Clearinghouse HSCH 88081005) ; and adopt Resolution No. 2849 recornending approval of CT 84-32(A)/PUD i‘3(A) based on the findings contained therein, including two new conditions to: (1) limit the grading on Lot K!18 to construction of the temporary desiltation basin to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and (2) widening of the cul-de-sac streets to 32 ft. at doesn’t feel the Commission should force redesign of the the discretion OF-‘ the Planning Director. Commissioner Schiehuber requested a comment from Mr. Hofman regarding the road width condition. Mr. Hofman can accept the condition on the premise that it is left to the discretion of the Planning Director. 2) SP-144 SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY - Request to replace six uncovered wastewater collection ponds with six collection tanks at the Encina Power Plant, 4600 Carlsbad Boulevard, located in the PU Zone and Local Facilities Yanagement Zone 3. Charles Grirmn, Assistant Planning Director, stated that staff has received an inquiry from a XKXE attorney questioning the city’s ability to place certain conditions on this project. Our City attorney feels that additional time is needed in order to respond to the questions which have been raised. Staff is recommending a continuance at the request of the City attorney. Chairman Hall reported that he has three persons who wished to speak to this item. Ron Ball, Assistant City Attorney, stated that persons who are unable to return at a later date could be permitted to speak. COMMISSIONER! Erwin Hall Holmes Marcus McFadden Schlehub Schramm
