AB#a TITLE: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION
MT& 5122190 APPROVAL OF CT 89-32 - WEST PALM
DEPT. RN r- RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the City Council ADOPT City Council Resolution No. 90-155 , DENYING the appeal and UPHOLDING the Planning Commission decision to APPROVE CT 89-32 without additional studies requested by the appellant.
I
ITEM EXPLANATION
On April 18, 1990 the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map CT 89-32 to subdivide a 1.51 acre parcel into five single-
family residential lots on the north side of Buena Vista Avenue between Arland and Valley Street. The five lots range in size from 7,565 square feet to 8,923 square feet. Access to the project is provided by a new 60 foot wide public street that connects to Buena Vista Avenue and cul-de-sacs at the project's northern boundary. The property is zoned R-1-7500 and is located in Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the City's northern quadrant.
The appellants have appealed the Planning Commission decision in an effort to reduce the project's density and delay the Tentative
Map until an alignment and traffic study are completed for the new
public street. The appellants also request that the City Council mandate a study to clarify under what circumstances a residential project should be allowed to exceed the Growth Control Point and if net lot area should be used to calculate density rather that gross lot area, (gross lot area includes the area used for dedication of streets and improvements). Finally they would like the City Council to initiate a study to determine if the Wilsonia Tract that includes the proposed project should be rezoned to R- l-9500.
The project meets all standards of the underlying zone and the subdivision ordinance and findings have been made by the Planning Commission allowing the project to exceed the growth control point pursuant to the provisions in Section 21.90.045 of the Growth
Management Ordinance. The project is conditioned to provide full street improvements on the new cul-de-sac street and half street improvements on the frontage along Buena Vista Avenue. These improvements will include additional pavement for widening plus curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The applicant will also be required to pay public facility and school fees prior to approval of the final map which will mitigate impacts to public facilities.
The alignment of the new street is fixed at its current location
as it enters Buena Vista Avenue due to intersection spacing
requirements between Arland and Valley Street. This project will generate 50 average daily trips which is considered minimal and
will not have a significant impact on traffic circulation in the area thus a traffic study was not required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment
appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration.
* A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect
on the environment. On the checklist, '*NO@@ will be checked to indicate this determination.
* An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a sicnificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insianifisant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sig" and "YES-insigl' respectively.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
33. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild- life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
34. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the dis- advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.)
YES (Slcl) YE ij ins lg) NO
35. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? (lqCumulatively con- siderable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) x
36. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? x

I DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
This project entails the subdivision of a 1.51 acre parcel into 5 single- family residential lots. The topography is relatively level and the site has been utilized for agricultural purposes for many years.
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT - _
The subject property is relatively level and the project proposes minimal grading (2500 cubic yards), therefore there will be little appreciable change in topography. Drainage and erosion control facilities will be incorporated into the project and no unstable earth conditions or unique geologic features are located on the project site or general vicinity. Development of the project would create impervious surfaces on site which would reduce absorption rates and increase surface runoff and runoff
velocities, however, drainage facilities will be provided.
Implementation of the proposed project will incrementally contribute to the depletion of fossil fuel and other natural resources, increase local and regional air emissions: however, this is not regarded as a significant impact in view of the limited scale of the project. Residential development for this site is planned for in the City's General Plan, as well as the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan, therefore the above mentioned impacts to physical resources have been anticipated and planned for.
The site has been previously disturbed by agricultural uses, therefore no cultural resource impacts are anticipated.
BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Past agricultural uses of the site have greatly disturbed any natural plant or animal communities, therefore the site has limited biological value. The site is surrounded by single family residential development so there is no threat of introducing new species into a natural area or limiting the movement of native animal species. The project will reduce the availability of agricultural land but the parcel is so small that it is an insignificant reduction. The General Plan designates this area for residential uses therefore the loss of this site as agricultural land has been accounted for.
HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Traffic impacts, increase to population, increased public facility demands and the planned use of the area have all been accounted for and planned for in the General Plan and Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. The project will be required to pay public facility fees that will be used to adequately mitigate any impacts upon utilities and public facilities.
The proposed project will incrementally increase noise levels in the area a*ue to traffic and contribute to light and glare in the project vicinity, however these impacts are considered insignificant due to the small nature of the project. The development will be compatible with surrounding land uses and the addition of landscaping will help reduce glare. This project is required to meet all City standards, ordinances and policies therefore
no safety impacts or human health concerns are anticipated.
-6-
&ALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH As:
a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, C) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alter- nate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative.
The small nature of this five lot single-family subdivision located on a level and disturbed lot prohibits any phased development and the proje-t does not lend itself to alternative site design or scale of development. This is an infill development, the property is zoned for residential uses, and the project conforms to the adopted residential density for the area, therefore alternative uses or alternative sites are not appropriate in this case. Development of the site at some future time or the no project alternative is not a viable solution because the area is zoned for the use and delay only postpones the inevitable development of the site.
-7-
DETERMINATION (To Be Completed BY The Planning Department)
On the basis Of this initial evaluation:
X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
-1 find that although the proposed project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed.
-1 find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A FIVE LOT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP ON PROPERTY
GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF BUENA VISTA AVENUE BETWEEN ARLAND
-AND VALLEY STREET.
CASE NAME: WEST PALM
CASE NO.: CT 89-32
WHEREAS, a verified application for certain property to wit:
Portion of Lots 3 and 4 of Wilsonia Tract, Map 2169 City of Carlsbad, County
of San Diego.
has been filed with the City of Carlsbad and referred to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request as provided by Title 21 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 18th day of April, 1990, hold a duly
noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and
arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors
relating to the Tentative Tract Map and Planned Unit Development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission as follows:
A> That the above recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES
CT 89-32, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. The project is consistent with the city’s General Plan since the proposed density of 3.3
du’s/acre is within the density range of o-4 du’s/acre specified for the site as indicated
on the Land Use Ekment of the General Plan.
2. The project is consistent with the City’s Growth Management Ordinance even though de
density of 3.3 du’s/acre exceeds the Growth Control Point of 3.2 du’s/acre because there
have been sufficient developments approved in the Northwest Quadrant at densities
below the Growth Control Point. Approval of this project will not exceed quadrant limits
and sufficient public facilities are in place to accommodate the project
.

The project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in excess of
the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City’s public facilities plans will not
be adversely impacted.
All necessary public facilities required will be constructed concurrently with the need for
them created by this development and in conformance with adopted City standards.
The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed development since
the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the
density proposed.
The project is in compliance with the development standards of the R-l Zone.
The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropriate condition to this project,
ensured that the final map will not be approved unless the City Council finds that sewer
service is available to serve the project. In addition, the Planning Commission has added
a condition that a note shall be placed on the final map that building permits may not
be issued for the project unless the City Engineer determines that sewer service is
available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains
available, and the Planning Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Public
Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer
service for this project.
Park-in-lieu fees are required as a condition of approval.
All necessary public improvements have been provided or will be required as conditions
of approval.
The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition
to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee will
enable this body to find that public facilities will be available concurrent with need as
required by the General Plan.
Assurances have been given that adequate sewer for the project will be provided by the
City of Carlsbad.
The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since
surrounding properties are designated for Single Family Residential development on the
General Plan.
This project will not cause any significant environmental impacts and a Negative
Declaration has been issued by the Planning Director on December 29, 1989 and
Approved by the Planning Commission on April 18, 1990. In approving this Negative
Declaration the Planning Commission has considered the initial study, the staff analysis,
all required mitigation measures and any written comments received regarding the
significant effects this project could have on the environment.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CT 89-32 - WEST PALM - Request for approval of a Tentative Tract Map to
subdivide a I.51 acre parcel into 5 single family residential lots on the north side
of Buena Vista Avenue between Arland and Valley Street, in the R-1-7500 Zone,
and in Local Facilities Management Zone 1.
I. RF.COMMF.NDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3011 APPROVING
the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Planning Commission
Resolution No. 3012 APPROVING CT 89-32 based on the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
IL PROJECX D ESCIWTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide a 1.51 acre parcel into
5 single family residential lots on the north side of Buena Vista Avenue between Arland and
Valley Street. The proposed project is subject to the following standards and policies:
i:
Residential Low-Medium (RLM) General Plan Designation
Growth Management Ordinance
C. Single Family Residential Zone (R-l)
d. Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 1
e. Subdivision Ordinance
The subject properry currently contains several greenhouses and accessory buildings, and in the
past the site has been utilized for agricultural purposes. The surrounding area is developed with
single family residences. Several adjacent vacant lots are being utilized for agriculture.
The topography of the subject site is relatively level with an elevation differential of four feet.
Estimated grading quantities consist of 2,500 cubic yards of cut and fill to create James Drive
which will cul-de-sac at the site’s northerly boundary and to create level building pads for 4
standard R-l lots and 1 panhandle lot.
‘CT 89~32 WEST PALM
April 18, 1990
Pane 2
The irregular shape of the subject parcel mandates that Lot 2 be created by utilizing a panhandle
lot configuration. This panhandle lot will have 30 feet of frontage on the proposed James Drive
and contain -8,758 square feet of net acreage, excluding the access portion of the lot. The
remaining four lots average 8,133 square feet in size. The 1.51 acre project will result in a development density of approximately 3.31 du/acre.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1. Does the proposed project comply with the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance?
2. Does the proposed project comply with the development standards of the R-l Zone?
3. Does the project comply with Growth Management and the Local Facilities Management
Plan for Zone 1 in the Northwest Quadrant?
DISCUSSION
SUBDMSION ORDI>ANCE
The proposed Tentative Map complies with all requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance, Title
20. All the lots meet the requirements for lot width and depth, and adequate drainage is
provided. Lots 2-5 will drain towards James Drive and Lot 1 will drain towards Buena Vista
Avenue. Grading quantities consist of 2,500 cubic yards of cut and fill to accommodate the public
street and to provide level building pads for the five lots. Permission to grade offsite has been
granted by the property owner to the west of the project. This offsite grading will be required
for the construction of James Drive.
Access to the project is provided by James Drive which is a new 60 foot wide public road segment
that connects to Buena Vista Avenue. Lot 1 of the project fronts on Buena Vista Avenue and
half-street improvements will be provided along this frontage. James Drive will consist of full
street improvements to include sidewalks on both sides. This new segment of James Drive is
aligned to accommodate adequate intersection spacing and line-up at the project’s northern
boundary with an existing 30 foot wide road easement that continues north. Currently the City
has an irrevocable offer of dedication for future James Drive on the three parcels directly north
of the subject parcel, (See Exhibit “Y”). The portion of this existing road easement that runs
through the subject parcel but which is not necessary for the construction of James Drive will be
vacated by the City.
James Drive will cul-de-sac at the project’s northern boundary, however, it will be a public street
and provide the link to future development north of the project site. Future northerly extensions
of James Drive will require an alignment study to determine the most efficient and effective
alignment necessary to accommodate future development within the block.
CT 89-32 WEST PAL~I
April 18, 1990
Pane 3
R-l ZONE
The proposed 5 lot single family subdivision complies with all the development standards of the
R-l Zone. All the proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet required by
the underlying zone. In addition, all the lots except Lot 2 have at least 60 feet of frontage along
the proposed James Drive cul-de-sac. Lot 2 is a panhandle lot with 30 feet of frontage on James
Drive.
The required findings can be substantiated to support the approval of Lot 2 as a panhandle lot.
The irregular shape of the subject parcel along its eastern boundary dictates the utilization of a
panhandle lot to effectively subdivide this portion of the site. Subdivision with a panhandle lot
will not preclude or adversely affect the ability to provide full public access to other properties
within the same block. Lot 2 meets all the R-l Zone development standards for panhandle lots
as follows:
a) The lot has at least 8,000 square feet of buildable net acreage exclusive of the access
portion of the lot, and the applicant has submitted a site plan illustrating that a dwelling
unit can be situated on the lot and comply with all the standards of the underlying R-
1 Zone.
b) The buildable portion of the lot exceeds the lot width requirement of 60 feet.
d The access portion of the lot has at least 20 feet of frontage on a public street and it’s
length does not exceed 150 feet.
d) The lot has adequate space to accommodate 3 non-tandem parking spaces with an
approach of at least 24 feet in length with proper turnaround area to permit complete
turnaround access for forward access to James Drive.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT
The subject property is located within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 1 in the City’s
Northwest Quadrant. The impacts on public facilities created by the proposed project and

Pane 4
The project is proposing a density of 3.31 du/acre which is one-tenth of a unit above the 3.2
du/acre Growth Control Point for the site. The proposed subdivision therefore exceeds the density
permitted by City Council Resolution No. 8703 and Proposition E, however the required findings
to exceed the Growth Control Point can be made as specified in Section 21.90.45 of the City’s
Municipal Code under the Growth Management Ordinance.
The density of the project will not adversely affect the dwelling unit allowance for the Northwest
Quadrant because there have been sufficient projects in Local Facilities Management Zone 1
approved below the adopted growth control points, thus creating surplus dwelling unit allocations.
Sufficient public facilities to serve the proposed density of the project are being provided so that
the City’s public facility plans will not be adversely impacted.
SUMMARY
The project is consistent with the General Plan and Zone Designation, meets all requirements of
the R-l Zone and the Subdivision Ordinance, and complies with Growth Management, therefore
staff recommends approval of CT 89-32.
ENvIRoNMENTALREvIEw
The Planning Director has determined that no significant environmental impacts will result from
this project, and a Negative Declaration was issued on December 29, 1989. This project entails
the subdivision of a 1.51 acre parcel on land that is relatively level and has been utilized for
agricultural purposes for many years. The site has been previously disturbed, therefore it has
limited cultural and biological value. This decision was based on findings of the initial
Environmental Impact Assessment Form and a field review by staff.

, REASONS FOR APPEAL:
1. VIOLATION OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT LIMITATIONS--subject area is Residential Low-Medium (RLM) with growth control of 3.2
dwelling units per acre.
Prcposed project calls for five dwelling units on a net buildable area of less than one acre. Utilizing a gross buildable area of 1.51 acres, the project still exceeds the 3.2 du/acre limitation by approximately 4000 square feet.
REQUEST: A) Findings be required if the project is to
exceed the growth control point of 3.2 du/acre.
B) Approval of tentative map be delayed pending the above findings.
Cl Council mandate a study, to clarify whether, and under what circumstances, the growth control
test be made on net buildable area, versus
gross project dimensions.
2. ALIGNMENT STUDY NEEDED
Proposed cul-de-sac, James Drive was first conceived nearly 25 years ago, Since then, adjacent residential lots have been developed utilizing a dwelling unit to lot ratio far
in excess of the proposed Rl-7500,
Proposed project will significantly alter the present land use in the immediate adjacent area, resulting in lot sizes incompatible with those presently in existence, These mini-
mum sized lots will substantially alter the population density
in the area, and will serve as a precedent for future
development of the proposed cul-de-sac,
The proposed lots will also be aesthetically offensive to the public in general, and to the present local residents in particular, whose own property values will be diminished as a result of the "crunch" of smaller lots in the middle of a relatively lower density, rural neighborhood.
Furthermore, the logical extension of this new cul-de-sac
will be in violation of policy set by City Engineering for single-entrance developments (Policy No. 1; effective g-5-84), which limits the cul-de-sac length to 600 feet.
The Planning Commission has recognized this problem, and has called for a lot line adjustment study before the cul-de-sac is further developed.
. . . *
REQUEST: A)
B)
An alignment study be mandated.at this
time, to avoid the inefficient, ineffective "piece-meal" placement and extension of the James Drive cul-de-sac, and to insure a comprehensive plan providing for the development of James Drive consistent with the existing neighborhood.
Approval of tentative map be delayed,
pending the above study.
3. TRAEFIC SXUDY,NEEDED Theproposed cul-de-sac will exit upon the presently under sized Buena Vista Avenue.
Buena Vista Avenue is currently at minimal width, lacks sidewalks, and yet of necessity, is utilized daily by scores of grade school children bicycling or walking to Buena Vista Elementary Sohool. The street, as currently improved, is inadequate to handle the existing traffic safely, and is in any event dangerous, due to the un- controlled, "blind" intersection at Buena Vista Avenue and Valley Street, The additional traffic caused by this proposed project, and that resulting from the future development and extension of the cul-de-saa will increase the already significant risk of grave bodily harm to cyclists and pedestrians, especially school-aged children.
REQUEST: A) That a traffic study be mandated.
B) That approval of the tentative map be delayed,
pending the above study, and recommended public road improvements.

damage long term environmental goals, due .to considerable cumulative effects of probable future projects which will result from the cul-de-sac's placement and future extension,
The precedent to be set by this project will logically and likely lead to additional violations of the growth control point by other developers who wish to place minimum sized lots down the spine of this subject low-density, rural neighborhood, and will further tax the already dangerous
BUena Vista Avenue and the Buena Vista Elementary School itself,
. . -

-
REQUEST: A) That the findings and studies referred to above be mandated.
B) That the tentative map not be approved pending those findings and studies.
C)' That the Council initiate a study to determine whether and under what conditions the Wilsonia Tract be down zoned (ie. 9500 sq. ft.), to insure that future development of the immediate
area will be consistent with past development
and be done in acoordance with applicable laws,
ordinances and policies, including the City's
cul-de-sac length limitation standards.

Dear Marilyn:
This letter is sent aa a follow-up to our conversation this afternoon, Pleaas accept this lmttet us the appellanta’ request that the above hearing be continued to the next available hearing date. Thia request is based upon intervening circmstances beyond the appellants’ reasonable control.
Additionally, at the time the appeal was filed, we were advised that we would receive a minimum 14 days notice of the hearing date. However, it appears that the notice was published in the local paper and mailed only 12 days before the hearing. Whether ruuh notioe coatpliea with applicable procedures, the ahortenad notice period has left appellants with less time than originally anticipated to prepare for the hearing.
Thank you very much for your oourtesy and cooperation.. Please aal. at your earliest convenience to advise whether the matter will be continued.

RE: Tentative Tract Map 89-32 West Palm Subdivision Appeal Hearing Date: 5/22/90
Dear City Council Members:
I recently signed a petition requesting that the above appeal be dismissed and that tentative tract map 89-32 be approved, upon the terms recommended by the City Planning Commission.
While I believe the proposed James Court cul-de-sac should be extended north of Buena Vista Avenue, I request that the present "rural" character of the neighborhood be maintained by requiring that all new homes built adjacent to the cul-de-sac and the rest of the new lots in this particular portion of the Wilsonia Tract have a minimum 9,500 sq. ft. lot size.
In light of the foregoing, I hereby revoke my signature on the petition requesting that the City approve tentative tract map 89- 32 as proposed, and add my name to the neighborhood petition sponsored by appellants Blaine, Thompson, Mulligan and Tell.
Thank you very much for your assistance in this regard.
Very truly yours,

RE: CT 89-32 West Palm Properties
In response to the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of the CT 89-32 West Palm Properties tentative tract map I would like to state my support of the Commission's action.
As executor of the Estate of Gloria Gamble, 2778 Arland Road, I have been aware of the City's plans to develop the proposed James Drive. Opening this street will contribute to the orderly development of the increasing valuable land in the Wilsonia Tract.
The petitioners claim that the development of James Drive will ruin the rural nature of the area. Carlsbad is no longer a rural community, but a fast growing area in desperate need of good long range planning. By seeking to prevent the highest and best use of these properties, the petitioners will condemn further development in this area to the very type of "dogleg" property alignments that the petitioners own.
By approving well planned subdivision maps, traffic can be routed in a generally safe direction, while power, sewer, sidewalks and the like can be mandated to adequately serve the area. Without the development of James Drive, the property owners in that area will be forced to create odd lots with long driveways and a nightmarish array of lot splits.
Support your Planning Commission's decision for good city planning and deny the appeal to CT 89-32.

buildable area of less than one acre. Utilizing a gross
buildable area of 1.51 acres, the project still exceeds the
3.2 du/acre limitation by approximately 4000 square feet.
REQUEST: A) Findings be required if the project is to
exceed the growth control point of 3.2 du/acre.
B) Approval of tentative map be delayed pending
the above findings.
Cl Council mandate a study, to clarify whether,
and under what circumstances, the growth control
test be made on net buildable area, versus
gross project dimensions.
2. ALIGNMENT STUDY NEEDED
Proposed cul-de-sac, James Drive was first conceived nearly
25 years ago. Since then, adjacent residential lots have
been developed utilizing a dwelling unit to lot ratio far
in excess of the proposed Rl-7500.
Proposed project will significantly alter the present land
use in the immediate adjacent area, resulting in lot sizes
incompatible with those presently in existence. These mini-
mum sized lots will substantially alter the population density
in the area, and will serve as a precedent for future
development of the proposed cul-de-sac.
The proposed lots will also be aesthetically offensive to
the public in general, and to the present local residents
in particular, whose own property values will be diminished
as a result of the "crunch" of smaller lots in the middle of
a relatively lower density, rural neighborhood.
Furthermore, the logical extension of this new cul-de-sac
will be in violation of policy set by City Engineering for
single-entrance developments (Policy No. 1; effective
g-5-84), which limits the cul-de-sac length to 600 feet.
The Planning Commission has recognized this problem, and has
called for a lot line adjustment study before the cul-de-sac
is further developed.
REQUEST: A) An alignment study be mandated .at this
time, to avoid the inefficient, ineffective
*piece-meal" placement and extension of the James Drive cul-de-sac, and to insure a
comprehensive plan providing for the
development of James Drive consistent with
the existing neighborhood.
B) Approval of tentative map be delayed,
pending the above study.
3. TRAEFIC SZUDY,NEEDED -- The proposed cul-de-sac will exit upon the presently under
sized Buena Vista Avenue.
Buena Vista Avenue is currently .at minimal width, lacks
sidewalks, and yet of necessity, is utilized daily by
scores of grade school children bicycling or walking to
Buena Vista Elementary School. The street, as currently
improved, is inadequate to handle the existing traffic
safely, and is in any event dangerous, due to the un-
controlled, "blind" intersection at Buena Vista Avenue
and Valley Street. The additional traffic caused by this
proposed project, and that resulting from the future
development and extension of the cul-de-sac will increase
the already significant risk of grave bodily harm to
cyclists and pedestrians, especially school-aged children.
REQUEST: A) That a traffic study be mandated.
B) That approval of the tentative map be delayed,
pending the above study, and recommended
public road improvements.
4 . . POTENTIAL LONG-TERM CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OUTWEIGH SHORT&TERM
"MINIMAL EFFECTS" OK THE PROPOSED P.ROJECT. -. The projects limited short-term environmental.impact will
damage long term environmental goals, due to considerable
cumulative effects of probable future projects which will
result from the cul-de-sac's placement and future extension.
The precedent to be set by this project will logically and
likely lead to additional violations of the growth control
point by other developers who wish to place minimum sized
lots down the spine of this subject low-density, rural
neighborhood, and will further tax the already dangerous
Buena Vista Avenue and the Buena Vista Elementary School
itself.
REQUEST: A) That the findings and studies referred to
above be mandated.
B) That the tentative map not be approved
pending those findings and studies.
Cl That the Council initiate a study to determine
whether and under what conditions the Wilsonia
Tract be down zoned (ie. 9500 sq. ft.), to
insure that future development of the immediate
area will be consistent with past development
and be done in acoordance with applicable laws,
ordinances and policies, including the City's
cul-de-sac length limitation standards.
