PLN w CITY MGRa ~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council ADOPT City Council Resolution No. 4 6 -3a 1, APPROVING CT 92- 02(A), PUD 92-03(A), SDP 92-06(A), and HDP 92-03(A), as recommended for approval by i the Planning Commission. ’ ITEM EXPLANATION: 1 On August 21, 1996, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the Sambi Seaside Heights project. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Vesting Tentative Map Revision, Planned Development Permit Amendment, Site Development Plan Amendment, and Hillside Development Permit Amendment. The commission’s vote on all the project actions was 7-O and no citizens gave public testimony at the hearing. The Planning Commission praised the Developer for proposing the required affordable housing within a quality, home “ownership” townhome neighborhood that would be located onsite and directly adjacent to a market rate twinhome development (Area “A”). The two neighboring developments would share vehicular access, central recreational facilities, and a recreational vehicle storage area, and have the same Homeowners Association. The 42 townhomes affordable to lower-income households would be located adjacent to Aviara Parkway and within l-2 miles of the City’s centralized industrial parks. The Developer is also proposing to construct 30 three-bedroom units that contain 1,208 square feet to accommodate larger families. On September 12, 1996, the Housing Commission reviewed the affordable housing component of the project and recommended approval. The details of the project’s affordable housing financial requests and the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Housing Commission, will be contained and summarized in a separate agenda bill. The original project, Sambi - CT 92-02, was approved by the City Council in March 1994. Subsequently, and during the Coastal Commission’s review of the project, it was significantly redesigned. These changes to the project have resulted in the need for the project to be re- evaluated by the City and once again approved by the City Council. The redesigned project meets all City policies and standards and there are no outstanding issues of concern as discussed in the attached Planning Commission Staff Report. In summary, the changes to the project would include: A. A minor realignment of future Cherry Blossom Road between Aviara Parkway and Hidden Valley Road, and relocation of the driveway access from Aviara Parkway to Planning Area “A”. B. Minor regrading of building pads for the redesigned multi-family, single family, and community facility planning areas; C. Elimination of the project’s request for an 11.8% (36.83 dwelling units) affordable housing density bonus; PAGE 2 OF AGEhiDA BILL NO. /3,8 3 0 D. 140 multi-family units (80 units less than the City approved Sambi - CT 92-02; E. 137 standard single-family lots (8 single-family lots more than the approved project); F. 1.8 acre community facility site located across the street from Poinsettia Community Park along Hidden Valley Road; G. 1.46 acres of additional open space ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Because the proposed project would result in 72 fewer residential dwelling units, less community facility land use acreage, and more natural open space, the revised project design would further reduce environmental impacts and be considered a more environmentally sensitive and preferred project. Fewer residential dwelling units and more open space equates to more natural habitat protection, less air pollution and water quality impacts, less traffic generation, less demand on public facilities, and less aesthetic impact. Because the project site has already been graded and only minor regrading of the large multifamily building pads would be necessary to accommodate the redesigned project, the Master EIR for the General Plan Update 1994, the Certified Final EIR 90-03 for Specific Plan 203, and the approved Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT92-02/Sambi, all provide adequate environmental analysis and mitigation to cover the proposed revised project. FISCAL IMPACT: As discussed in the Zone 20 Local Facilities Management Plan, all necessary major capital facilities will be provided concurrent with development and funded by the Developer of the project. A financing plan that comprehensively addresses the provisions of public facilities within the facility zone has been approved by the City Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission as follows: A) W That the above recitations are true and correct. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Carlsbad Vesting Tentative Tract Map Revision, CT 92-02(A), based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. The Planning Commission finds that: a. the project is a subsequent residential development within an approved Specific Plan (SP 203) pursuant to Section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines; b. the project is consistent with Specific Plan 203; C. there was a Final EIR certified in connection with the prior approved Specific Plan 203 (EIR 9303), the General Plan Update (MEIR 93-Ol), and a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved for CT 92-02; d. the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant in the prior EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration; and e. none of the circumstances requiring Subsequent or Supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15 162 or 15 163 exist. PC RESO NO. 3977 8 -2- 1 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 2. The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the certified Final EIR 93-03 (SP 203), the General Plan Update (MEIR 93-06), and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT 92-02 which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project. 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein for CT 92-02(A) is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the following: a. b. C. d. . . . Land Use - The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan since the proposed density of 4.36 du/acre is within the density range of 4 to 8 du/acre for the RM portion of the site and 3.09 du/acre is within the density range of 0 to 4 du/acre for the RLM portion of the site, as indicated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan, and is at or below the growth control point of 6 du/acre and 3.2 du/acre respectively. When the 42 affordable townhomes are added to the density in the RLM portion of the site the density results in 5.14 dwelling units per net acre. The General Plan allows a density increase above the high end of the density range when it is for the provision of affordable housing. The project is approximately 35 dwelling units below the growth management dwelling unit allowance of 312 dwelling units for the entire property; Circulation - The local private streets within the multi-family planning areas would have 30 feet to 40 feet of paving, in addition to sidewalks on at least one side of the street. All the public local, collector, and major streets within the site would be constructed to full public street width standards, and have curb, gutters, sidewalks, -and underground utilities. The proposed street system would be adequate to handle the project’s pedestrian and vehicular traffk and accommodate emergency vehicles; Noise - The project would provide noise attenuation walls and building sound attenuation where applicable per the recommendations of the project’s updated noise study on file in the Planning Department; Housing Element - The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance since the Developer has been conditioned to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to Final Map. All residential development within Specific Plan 203 is required to include a percentage of housing units affordable to persons and families of lower income. Consistent with the policies and programs of the Housing Element and subsequent to the affordable housing requirements of the Specific Plan 203, the project would provide 15% or 42 “ownership” postage stamp lot townhomes available and affordable to lower-income households. In addition, and consistent with Housing Element Policy 3.2 the project would provide at least 10% of the lower income units with three or more bedrooms; 9 PC RESO NO. 3977 -3- 1 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. Open Space and Conservation - There are no changes to the project that negatively impact the approved project’s open space or the site’s natural resources. The amended project has an additional 1.46 acres of open space. f. g. Parks and Recreation - The project amendment does not negatively impact Poinsettia Community Park and the Developer is required to pay Park-in- lieu fees; and Public Safety - The proposed project is required to provide bike lanes, pedestrian access to the future school site, sidewalks, street lights, and fire hydrants, as shown on the revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map, or included as conditions of approval. 4. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: a. The project has been conditioned to ensure 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 project is conditioned such that a note shall be placed on the final map that building permits may not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the District Engineer 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; b. Prior to final map approval the Developer is conditioned to enter into an agreement with the appropriate school district to ensure that adequate school facilities are available to serve the project; C. Park-in-lieu fees are required; d. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as conditions of approval; and e. The developer 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. 5. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. . . .

This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual, adopted by City Council Resolution No. 90-384. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the proposed project is required to provide sidewalks, street lights, and fire hydrants, as shown on the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, or included as conditions of approval. The local streets have adequate public right-of-way and connect to Hidden Valley Road which is a non-loaded collector street and Alga Road (Aviara Parkway), which is a major street. All the local, collector, and major streets within the site would be constructed to full public street width standards, and have curb, gutters, sidewalks, and underground utilities. The proposed street system is adequate to handle the project’s pedestrian and vehicular traffic and accommodate emergency vehicles. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses in the General Plan, in that the project is developed at densities consistent with the General Plan and the proposed residential land uses are compatible in scale, architecture, and building materials with the existing and planned single-family and multi-family residential development to the south and north. Public street improvements would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. The future community facility site is adequately buffered from the surrounding residential property by open space, slopes, and roadways, and is located adjacent to Hidden Valley Road, in close proximity to Poinsettia Community Park. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed, in that the residential development complies with all City land use policies and standards, including zoning, without the need for variances from development standards. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the project has been designed and structured such that there are no conflicts with any easements. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).

That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed by this subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental resources. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, in that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the certified Final EIR 93-03 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT 92-02 which are appropriate to this project have been incorporated into the project and no significant impacts to fish, wildlife or their respective habitats will occur. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the drainage requirements of Specific Plan 203, City ordinances, and Mello II have been considered and appropriate drainage facilities have been designed and secured. In addition to City Engineering Standards and compliance with the City’s Master Drainage Plan, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards will be satisfied to prevent any discharge violations. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project. Conditions: Planning: 1. The Planning Commission does hereby recommend APPROVAL of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map Revision for CT 92-02(A) entitled “Sambi Seaside Heights” as shown on Exhibits “A” - “KK” on file in the Planning Department and incorporated by this reference, dated August 21, 1996, subject to the conditions herein set forth.

The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the certified Final EIR 93-03 (SP 203), the General Plan Update (MEIR 93-Ol), and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT 92-02 which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project. 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein for PUD 92- 03(A) is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the following: a. Land Use - The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan since the proposed density of 4.36 du/acre is within the density range of 4 to 8 du/acre for the RM portion of the site and 3.09 du/acre is within the density range of 0 to 4 du/acre for the RLM portion of the site, as indicated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan, and is at or below the growth control point of 6 du/acre and 3.2 du/acre respectively. When the 42 affordable townhomes are added to the density in the RLM portion of the site the density results in 5.14 dwelling units per net acre. The General Plan allows a density increase above the high end of the density range when it is for the provision of affordable housing. The project is approximately 35 dwelling units below the growth management dwelling unit allowance of 312 dwelling units for the entire property; b. Circulation - The local private streets within the multi-family planning areas would have 30 feet to 40 feet of paving, in addition to sidewalks on at least one side of the street. All the public local, collector, and major streets within the site would be constructed to full public street width standards, and have curb, gutters, sidewalks, and underground utilities. The proposed street system is adequate to handle the project’s pedestrian and vehicular traffic and accommodate emergency vehicles; C. Noise - The project would provide noise attenuation walls and building sound attenuation where applicable per the recommendations of the project’s updated noise study on file in the Planning Department; d. Housing Element - The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance since the Developer has been conditioned to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to Final Map. All residential development within Specific Plan 203 is required to include a percentage of housing units affordable to persons and families of lower income. Consistent with the policies and programs of the Housing Element and subsequent to the affordable housing requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan, the project would provide 15% or 42 “ownership” townhomes available and affordable to lower-income households. In addition, and consistent with Housing Element Policy 3.2 the project would provide at least 10% of the lower income units with three or more bedrooms; PC RESO NO. 3978 -3- 1 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. Open Space and Conservation - There are no changes to the project that negatively impact the approved project’s open space or the site’s natural resources. The amended project has an additional 1.46 acres of open space; f.

The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: a. The project has been conditioned to ensure 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 project is conditioned such that a note shall be placed on the final map that building permits may not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the District Engineer 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; b. Prior to final map approval the Developer is conditioned to enter into an agreement with the appropriate school district to ensure that adequate school facilities are available to serve the project; C. Park-in-lieu fees are required; d. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as conditions of approval; and e. The developer 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. 5. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project.

This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual, adopted by City Council Resolution No. 90-384. The granting of this permit will not adversely affect and will be consistent with Chapter 21.45, Specific Plan 203, and all adopted plans of the City and other governmental agencies. The proposed use is necessary and desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the long-term general well-being of the neighborhood and the community, in that the development of a future community facility site, single-family lots, townhomes, and ownership postage stamp lot townhomes available to lower- income households would provide a balance and mix of land uses within Specific Plan 203. A majority of the residential development planned for the specific plan area would be standard single-family homes on 7,500 to 10,000 square foot lots. The development of a future community facility site and higher density multi-family units in close proximity to natural open space, Poinsettia Community Park, Hidden Valley Road and future Alga Road, in addition to the provision of ownership townhomes affordable to lower- income households would create a more diversified and balanced community. Such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, because the project is designed to preserve the coastal sage scrub habitat located along the eastern portion of Area “A” and the northern portion of Area “E”. The open space in Area “A” would connect with the larger open space located in the central canyon. Drainage facilities shall be provided concurrent with development of the project to reduce erosion and flooding. All manufactured slopes shall be landscaped to prevent erosion and to visually screen the slopes. The proposed planned development meets all of the minimum development standards set forth in Section 21.45.090, the design criteria set forth in Section 21.45.080, and has been designed in accordance with the concepts contained in the Design Guidelines Manual for the following reasons: a. The local streets in the single-family portion of the project shall have curb, gutter, and sidewalks on both sides, and have 36 to 40 feet of paving. This exceeds the 30 foot minimum private street width standard. b. The project shall provide a mixture of one and two-story homes, and the multi- family buildings would have varied roof lines, and a variety of front building elevations and front yard setbacks.

Adequate recreational vehicle storage space shall be provided within the individual projects and be sufficiently screened from the public right-of-way and surrounding properties. The single-family homes shall have, at a minimum two-car garages which would meet the parking and storage requirements of the ordinance, and guest parking would be provided on both sides of the streets. The townhomes all have two-car garages and guest parking is dispersed along the internal private streets and driveways. A pedestrian access is provided between Lots 47 and 48 in Area “C” to provide access to the future school site and Hidden Valley Road. The project shall provide adequate onsite circulation to serve the needs of the residents and their guests, and it would not impact the availability of offsite street parking. Sidewalks and drainage facilities shall be provided along the project’s street frontages to serve the project. The proposed 30 to 40 foot wide central private driveways shall be adequate to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation, vehicle turn movements, and emergency access. An internal pedestrian circulation system that is separated from the driveways within the multi-family projects shall be provided and allow sufficient and safe access to the recreation facility and adjacent public streets. Adequate access for emergency vehicles is provided by the central 30 to 40 foot wide private driveways that service the multi-family projects. The project has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department. 12. The proposed project is designed to be sensitive to and blend in with the natural topography of the site, and maintains and enhances significant natural resources on the site, because the project meets all the requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations and Guidelines. The manufactured slopes shall be landscaped, and the single-family lots shall terrace down the slope towards the west to conform with the topography. The homes have roof lines that are varied and relate to the topography. In addition, the northeastern and northwestern comers of the site shall be preserved to protect the coastal sage habitat and to provide open space in the central canyon. 13. The project’s circulation system is designed to be efficient and well integrated with the project and does not dominate the project the local streets in the project. 14. The proposed project’s design and the density of the developed portion of the site is compatible with surrounding development and does not create a disharmonious or PC RESO NO. 3978 31 -6- 1 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 disruptive element to the neighborhood.

II. INTRODUCTION This application is a request for a revised Vesting Tentative Map, and an amendment to a Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, and Hillside Development Permit. The original project, SambiKT 92-02, was approved by the City Council in March 1994. The Coastal Commission approved the project in March 1995 with a condition requiring a redesign of the project to avoid several steep slope areas. These changes to the project have resulted in the need for the project to be re-evaluated by the City and once again approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The redesigned project meets all City policies and standards and there are no outstanding issues of concern. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The 68.56 acre property is located in the coastal zone and has a split zoning and General Plan Land Use designation. The property is located in the Residential Density-Multiple Zone with the Qualified Overlay Zone @D-M-Q) and in the One-Family Residential Zone with the Qualified Overlay Zone (R-1-10,000-Q). The General Plan Land Use designation is Residential Medium (RM) and Residential Medium Low (RLM). In addition, the project is subject to the requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203) Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 90-3, a Mitigated Negative Declaration for SambiKT 92-02, and the General Plan’s Master EIR. CT 92-02(A)/PUD !%~J\A,/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAlvrBr SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 21,1996 Sambi/CT 92-02 was approved by the Planning Commission in December 1993, approved by the City Council in March 1994, and conditionally approved by the Coastal Commission in March 1995. The project site, and offsite Hidden Valley Road north to Palomar Airport Road and Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) south to Poinsettia Lane, have all been graded in substantial conformance with a combination of the City’s and the California Coastal Commission’s existing project approvals for SambiKT 92-02. The City allowed the Developer to grade the site to: (1) coordinate the grading with the construction and grading of Poinsettia Community Park and the Greystone Homes, Inc. site (The Cove); and, (2) to facilitate regional circulation in the are? by expediting the construction of Hidden Valley Road from Poinsettia Community Park north to Palomar Airport Road and Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) south to existing Poinsettia Lane. This northern segment of Hidden Valley Road will provide an important direct circulation connection with the community park and Palomar Airport Road. A slight change in the alignment of Cherry Blossom Road and the elimination of an access street leading from future Camino De Las Ondas to Planning Area “A” was required as part of the Coastal Commission’s modified approval of Sambi/CT 92-02. As a result of the Coastal Commission’s actions, the project’s City-approved site plans for the single-family, multi-family and community facility planning areas also now require revision. The Coastal Commission required that SarnbilCT 92-02 be redesigned so that Cherry Blossom Road and the access driveway from Camino De Las Ondas to Area “A” would not impact 25% slopes containing native habitat in two portions of the site. The City approved the roadway and driveway alignments because they provided superior project access and circulation, and under the findings that they were not subject to Mello II development restrictions for steep slopes. However, the Coastal Commission disagreed with the City’s findings and took a stricter interpretation of the slope standards. As a result, the Coastal Commission approved the project with a condition stating that the project had to be redesigned and re-approved by the City. The amendment to this project is still subject to many of the findings and conditions of the original staff report and the approved Planning Commission Resolutions No. 3590-3594, therefore, for ease of reference and continuity, the appropriate documents are attached to this report. It is important to note that all the conditions and approvals of SambiKT 92-02 as amended to date and not amended by this action still remain in full force and effect. The proposed amendment for the redesign of the project’s site plans would constitute the following changes: A. A minor realignment of future Cherry Blossom Road between future Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) and Hidden Valley Road. Relocation of the driveway access from Camino De Las Ondas to Planning Area “A”; B. Some proposed minor regrading of building pads for the redesigned multi-family, single- family and community facility planning areas; C. Elimination of the request for an 11.8% (36.83 dwelling units) affordable housing density bonus; - -.

Area “A” would have 42 “ownership” townhomes designated as affordable to lower - income households, all adjacent to 40 townhomes on small lots that would share centralized recreational and RV storage facilities and have the same Homeowners Association. Area “D” would contain the same approved townhomes, however, the revised site plan would have 58 dwelling units as compared to the approved 76 units; 137 standard single-family lots (8 single-family lots more than the approved project) with minimum lots sizes that still range from 7,500 square feet to 10,000 square feet; 1.8 acres of community facility land use to be consolidated into 1 area located across the street from Poinsettia Community Park along Hidden Valley Road (.46 acres less than the approved project); Overall, the redesigned site plans would result in 277 residential units as compared to the 349 residential units for the City approved SambiKT 92-02 (72 fewer residential units); and In addition, the Coastal Commission’s modified approval of SarnbiKT 92-02 resulted in the preservation of two small finger canyons containing disturbed habitat which created 1.46 acres of additional open space. This proposed project is subject to the following land use plans and regulations: A. Carlsbad General Plan; B. Specific Plan 203; C. Carlsbad Municipal Code, Title 2 1 (Zoning) including: (1) Chapter 2 1.45 - Planned Development; (2) Chapter 21.53 - Site Development Plan - “Affordable Housing” and Chapter 21.06 - Qualified Overlay Zone; (3) Chapter 2 1.85 - Inclusionary Housing; and (4) Chapter 2 1.95 - Hillside Development Regulations; D.

Carlsbad Municipal Code, Title 19 - Environmental Protection Procedures, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). IV. ANALYSIS Staff is recommending approval of this project for the reasons stated in the staff report. Consequently, this analysis section was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency with the applicable plans, policies, regulations and standards listed above and presented through the use of the following text and tables. A. General Plan: Land Use Element: The property has a Residential Medium (RM) and Residential Medium Low (RLM) General Plan Land Use Designation. The RM designation allows the development of single-family, low density apartment, condominium, or townhome developments that range in density from 4 to 8 du/acre with a 6 du/acre growth management control point. The net density in the RM portion of the site is 4.36 dwelling units per net acre. The RLM designation allows single-family homes and multi- family units (with a Planned Development Permit) that range in density from 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre with a 3.2 du/acre growth control point. The net density in the RLM portion of the project site, exclusive of the 42 affordable townhomes, is 3.09 dwelling units per net acre. When the 42 affordable townhomes are added to the density in the RLM portion of the site, the density results in 5.14 dwelling units per net acre. The General Plan allows a density increase above the high end of the density range when it is for the provision of affordable housing. It is important to note, that the project is approximately 35 dwelling units below the growth management dwelling unit allowance of 3 12 dwelling units for the entire 68.5 acre property. Open Space And Conservation: There are no changes to the project that negatively impact the approved project’s open space or the site’s natural resources. The amended project has an additional 1.46 acres of open space. The project is conditioned to provide an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City for Trail Segment No. 30 located within the SDG&E transmission line easement. The trail easement is shown on the revised tentative map. Noise Element: The Developer will provide 6 foot high noise attenuation walls along both sides of Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) and building sound attenuation in Area “A” where applicable, per the recommendations of the project’s updated noise study on file in the Planning Department. Housing Element: All residential development within Specific Plan 203 is required to include a percentage of housing units affordable to persons and families of lower-income. Consistent with the policies and -- CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-6~(A)/sDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAMBI SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 2 1,1996 PAGE 5 programs of the Housing Element and subsequent to the affordable housing requirements of Specific Plan 203, the project would provide 15% or 42 “ownership” townhomes available and affordable to lower-income households. In addition, and consistent with Housing Element Policy 3.2 the project would provide at least 10% of the lower-income units with three or more bedrooms. B. Specific Plan 203: Specific Plan 203 provides a framework for the development of the vacant properties within Zone 20 to ensure the logical and efficient provision of public facilities and community amenities for the future residents of the planning area. The project changes, including the minor circulation changes, the redesign of the multi-family site plans (Area ‘A” and “D”) and the single-family areas (Area “B” & “C”), and the relocation of the community facility site closer to Poinsettia Community Park, all meet the goals and objectives of the specific plan for the following reasons: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Area “A” exceeds the RLM density range. When the 42 affordable townhomes are added to the density in the RLM portion of the site the density results in 5.14 dwelling units per net acre. The specific plan allows the transfer of project density to Planning Area “A” for the provision of affordable housing; As designed and conditioned, the project provides coordination between surrounding developments through the provision of roadway connections with properties to the north, east, south, and west; The residential land uses are compatible with the existing and planned multi-family and single-family residential land uses to the south and north, and the Poinsettia Community Park to the west; The project implements the objective of an integrated open space and trail system within the planning area by providing pedestrian access to the future school site and an easement for Trail Segment No. 30; The project provides an attractive, well buffered, and landscaped circulation system that safely and aesthetically provides for the needs of automobiles, cyclists, pedestrians and adjacent land uses; The provision of the following land uses creates a well planned, yet diversified community: (1) single-family lots ranging in size from 7,500 to over 10,000 square feet; (2) higher density multi-family townhomes and a future community facility site located near Poinsettia Community Park and a non-loaded collector street (Hidden Valley Rd.); and, (3) higher density affordable townhomes located adjacent to natural open space and a major circulation element roadway (Alga Road/Aviara Parkway); and The project provides a community facility site in close proximity to a major road (Hidden Valley Road) and Poinsettia Community Park. The project will be conditioned to require a Conditional Use Permit prior to issuance of a building permit for the facility. CT 92-02(A)/PUD ~~-(JJ&/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAlvtBr SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 21,1996 PAGE 6 The project is located in Planning Area “A” of Specific Plan 203 and complies with the required “Special Design Criteria” as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) C. 1. A minimum 50 foot landscaped setback along both sides of Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) would be provided; Noise mitigation measures for the single-family homes and townhomes impacted by traffic noise from Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) would be provided; Enhanced landscaping would be provided along Hidden Valley Road and Alga Road (Aviara Parkway), and on the manufactured slopes between the terraced building pads; and The building elevations for the single-family homes and, townhomes would have a variety of materials, architectural accent features, articulated wall and roof planes, varying roof heights and building massing, and street setbacks. The various site plans would also have curvilinear streets to follow the natural contours and to provided visual interest within the project. Carlsbad Municipal Code, Title 21: Planned Development Ordinance: The utilization of the Planned Development Ordinance in conjunction with the Tentative Map for this project allows for the following: (a) provides a method to approve separate ownership of the affordable postage stamp lot townhomes located within the multiple-unit buildings in Area “A” and the small lot townhomes located in Area “A” and “D”; (b) allows for the transfer of density from a portion of Area “B” to Area “A” (RLM), and the transfer of density from Area “B” and “C” to Area “D” (RM); and, (c) allows for the development of multi-family residential development in an R-l- 10,000 Zone in Area “A”. The redesign of the residential site plans for Planning Area “A” , “B”, “C”, and “D” does not significantly change the land uses and results in a rearrangement of local streets and driveways, parking spaces, recreational open space facilities, and residential structures. All the proposed development is still located within the confines of the approved and existing rough graded pad areas and there is no development encroachment beyond these graded areas. The development of the community facility site, single-family lots, and townhomes would provide a balance and mix of land uses within Specific Plan 203. A majority of the residential development planned for the 640 acre specific plan area would be standard single-family homes on 7,500 to 10,000 square foot lots. The development of higher density multi-family units in close proximity to natural open space, Poinsettia Community Park, and Alga Road (Aviara Parkway), in addition to the provision of townhomes affordable to lower-income households would create a more diversified and balanced community. The local streets in the single-family portion of the project would have curb, gutter, and sidewalks on both sides, and have 36 to 40 feet of paving. This exceeds the 30 foot minimum private street width standard. The project would provide a mixture of one and two-story homes, and the multi- j-1 CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-Oj(A)/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAMBA SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 21,1996 family buildings would have varied roof lines, and a variety of front building elevations and front yard setbacks. Adequate recreational vehicle storage space would be provided within the individual projects and be sufficiently screened from the public right-of-way and surrounding properties. The single-family homes would have, at a minimum, two-car garages which would meet the parking and storage requirements of the ordinance, and guest parking would be provided on both sides of the streets. The townhomes all have two-car garages for residents and the guest parking is dispersed along the internal private street and driveways. The proposed residential land uses are compatible in scale, architecture, and building materials with the multi-family residential development to the south and future Poinsettia Community Park to the west. Public street improvements would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. The adjacent properties to the south and north have either existing multi-family residential development or are planned for multi-family and single- family residential development, therefore, the proposed multi-family and single-family residential developments in this project would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Area “A” and “D” of the project comply with the Planned Development Ordinance as follows: Guest: RV Storage Storage Space 43 guest spaces 2,800 square feet 480 cubic feet per unit Recreation Space: A. Common Active B. Private Passive 14,000 square feet private yards PROPOSED 30 to 40 feet 5 to 20 feet 28to 31 feet 2-car garage per unit 49 guest spaces 4,960 square feet 480 cubic yds inside 2- car garage 15,056 square feet 15’x15’ rear yards 2. Chapter 21.53 Site Development Plan - “Affordable Housing” and Chapter 21.06, Qualified Overlay Zone: The Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.53.120 requires a Site Development Plan for any affordable housing project of any size. This project would have 277 residential units of which 42 of those units must be designated as affordable to lower-income households. The project has been amended to replace the approved affordable apartment units in Area “A” with 42 ownership townhomes. The affordable housing portion of the project meets all development standards and the Developer is withdrawing the original approved request for a density bonus and a slope height standards wavier. - - CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-02(AySDP 92-06(A)MDP 92-03(A) - SAMBA SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 2 1,1996 PAGE 8 Qualified Development Overlay Zone (Q): The zoning for the property includes the Qualified Development Overlay Zone (Q) which also requires the processing of a Site Development Plan (SDP). At this point in time the Developer is still not planning to construct single-family homes on the lots, therefore, the project condition requiring an SDP to be approved by the Planning Director prior to building permits is still valid. Area “B” and “C” - Single-family Residential: The project will be conditioned such that all future single-family development must meet the development standards of the R-l Zone, including building height, front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, and parking. All the local, collector, and major streets within Area “B” and “C” of this project would be constructed to City standards, have underground utilities, and contain public sidewalks. A pedestrian access is provided between Lots 46 and 47 in Area “C” to provide access to the future school site and Hidden Valley Road. As part of the approved project, the Developer is already required to obtain a Site Development Plan, approved by the Planning Director, for any subsequent development of the single-family lots. The future Site Development Plan will evaluate compliance with the standards of the R-l Zone and Specific Plan 203, placement of the homes on the lots, the architecture, and building materials. Area “A”, “D”, and “E” - Multi-Family Residential And Community Facility Site: The bulk and scale of the proposed two-story townhouses would be compatible with the existing and proposed residential development in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed multi- family townhomes in Area “D” would provide an appropriate transition between the proposed single-family land uses directly to the east and the Poinsettia Community Park to the west. Site planning and design elements include the following: (a) (W (4 (e> The front and street side yard building setbacks would be landscaped with a combination of trees and shrubs to partially screen the residential structures from the public streets; The building elevations would have textured stucco exteriors and tile and metal roofs, varied roof lines, architectural accent features and building forms, and varied building facades; The project would provide adequate onsite parking and circulation to serve the needs of the residents and their guests, and it would not impact the availability of offsite street parking; Sidewalks and drainage facilities would be provided along the project’s street frontages to serve the project; The proposed 30 to 40 foot wide central private streets would be adequate to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation, vehicle turn movements, and emergency access; - - CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-0j(A,/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAMBl SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 2 1,1996 Sidewalks along the private streets would provide an internal pedestrian circulation system and allow sufficient and safe access to the recreation facility and adjacent public streets; and (8) The project has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and determined that adequate access for emergency vehicles is provided by the central 30 to 40 foot wide private streets and driveways that service the multi-family projects. 5. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance: The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance implements the inclusionary objectives of the Housing Element (Objective 3.6). At a minimum, the project would be required to provide not less than 15% of all proposed 277 residential dwelling units as affordable to lower income households. The Developer is proposing to meet this affordable housing requirement by providing 42 “ownership” townhomes in Area “A” of the project. In addition, at least five (10% min.) of the affordable townhomes must have three-bedroom units. The Developer is proposing to construct 30 three- bedroom units that contain 1,208 square feet to accommodate larger families. The 42 ownership townhomes would be: (a) located adjacent to a major road (Alga Road/Aviara Parkway) and open space; (b) within 1-2 miles of the City’s centrahzed industrial parks; and, (c) the site plan would be compatible with the adjacent townhomes located to the south. Subsequent to the actions of the Planning Commission and prior to approval of the project by the City Council, the project must be reviewed by the Housing Commission. The Developer is withdrawing the request for a density bonus and a waiver of development standards, however, there is a request for financial assistance from the City which must be reviewed and recommended by the Housing Commission and approved by the City Council. In addition, the project would be conditioned to require an Affordable Housing Agreement that would be submitted for review and approval by the City prior to Final Map approval. The Affordable Housing Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the applicant and the City which provides the specific details regarding the implementation of the affordable housing requirements of Specific Plan 203 and subsequent conformance with the City’s Housing Element. 4. Hillside Development Regulations: The project site has been graded in substantial conformance with the approved Hillside Development Permit (HDP 92-03). To accommodate the changes in the project’s circulation and the residential site plans, some additional grading of the larger rough graded pad areas is required. This grading is considered minor in context to the overall grading of the site and would not encroach beyond the envelope of the existing graded areas. The bulk of this remaining grading is for the relocation of the access driveway along the east side of Alga Road (Aviara Parkway) and to provide terracing of the building pads in Planning Area “A”. Additional large manufactured slopes would not be created, building setbacks from top of slopes would be maintained, grading volumes would be within the acceptable range, and there would be no significant impact to habitat and deed restricted open space areas. - - CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-03(A)/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAMBl SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 2 1,1996 D. Subdivision Ordinance -Title 20: The proposed revisions to the approved Vesting Tentative Map include the following: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) The realignment of future Cherry Blossom Road approximately 115 feet to the south. The road would now intersect with the entrance to Poinsettia Community Park along Hidden Valley Road and a new row of single-family lots would be provided between the roadway and the northern property line; The relocation of the future access driveway to Area “A” along Alga Road (Aviara Parkway). The driveway has been moved approximately 450 feet north and is restricted to right-in and right-out only; Provisions for a future public street connection to the northern property between Lots 134 and 135; Revisions to the townhome lots in Areas “A” and “D”, and an overall reduction in the number of total residential units by 72 units; The replacement of gate guarded private streets with public streets in Areas “B” and “C” that meet all the City standards; and Based on these revisions the proposed Tentative Map would still comply with all the requirements of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance, Title 20 and there are no additional requirements for public roadway or sewer improvements. E. Mello II Segment of Local Coastal Program: The project is located in the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and has been graded in compliance with the project’s approved Coastal Development Permit The approved project was conditioned to mitigate impacts to sensitive coastal resources, including riparian and coastal sage scrub habitat. The Developer has already received approval of the following permits: (1) Section 7 and Nationwide 404 Permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers under consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service; and, (2) Streambed Alteration Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Game. To mitigate coastal sage habitat impacts, the Developer purchased mitigation credits from the Highlands Mitigation Bank and must revegetate several onsite and offsite disturbed coastal sage areas in deed restricted open space. Prior to grading of the site the Developer was required to pay the required “Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee” to the California Coastal Conservancy. The developer paid mitigation fees for the entire 68.5 acres of the site and is now requesting that the amount of the “net agricultural acreage” that is subject to payment of the mitigation fee be reevaluated by the City and the Coastal Commission. Lands considered not suitable for farming due to physical constraints such as protected steep slopes, sensitive habitat, and other topographic features (i.e. major rock outcroppings) are not subject to the fee. This project site has some of these constraint features, CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-03(A)/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAMBA SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 2 1,1996 therefore, prior to Final Map approval, the City will evaluate the project acreage and determine a more appropriate “net agricultural acreage”. F. Growth Management: The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20 in the Southwest Quadrant. The project’s amendments would result in 72 fewer dwelling units when compared to the approved project Sambi/CT 92-02, and would significantly reduce public facility impacts. The impacts on public facilities created by this amended project and compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized as follows: Parks Drainage Circulation Fire Open Space 1.92 Acres N/A 3,342 ADT Station # 4 9.03 Acres Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Schools Sewer Collection System Water Distribution System CUSD 277 EDU 6 1,820 GPD Yes Yes Yes The proposed project’s 277 dwelling units would be below the allowable growth management density of 3 12.17 dwelling units for the property and result in an excess of 35.17 dwelling units. Surplus dwelling units that are not used by the Developer are placed into a City bank of excess dwelling units. The City can allocate these dwelling units to residential projects that exceed the growth control point, i.e. Density Bonus, in order to provide affordable housing. G. Environmental Review/ CEQA & Title 19: The project site is located within the boundaries of Specific Plan 203 which covers the 640 acre Zone 20 Planning Area. The specific plan has a certified Final Program EIR that covers all residential development located within the specific plan area. Since a Final Program EIR was certified for Specific Plan 203 and the requested project amendments to CT 92-02 are consistent with the specific plan, the CEQA Guidelines under Section 15182, “Residential Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan”, states that if a public agency has prepared an EIR for a specific plan after January 1, 1980, no EIR or Negative Declaration need be prepared for a residential project undertaken pursuant to and in conformity to that plan. The original Mitigated Negative Declaration for Sambi/CT 92-02 was prepared to update and refine the biological analysis and to analyze and evaluate environmental impacts created by offsite roadway and sewer line extensions located outside of the specific plan area (Hidden Valley Road) that were not covered under the Program EIR. Since the project site and offsite roadways, drainage basins, and sewer - CT 92-02(A)/PUD ~~-OJ(A)/SDP 92-06(A)/HDP 92-03(A) - SAMBi SEASIDE HEIGHTS AUGUST 21,1996 PAGE 12 lines have all been graded, the required mitigation measures from the project’s EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration are currently being implemented as part of the project’s ongoing grading operation. These measures include the biological mitigation required by the City, CA Coastal Commission, CA Department of Fish and Game, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Because the revised site plans result in 72 fewer residential dwelling units, less community facility land use acreage, and more natural open space, the revised project design would further reduce environmental impacts and be considered a more environmentally sensitive and preferred project. Fewer residential dwelling units and more open space equates to more natural habitat protection, less air pollution and water quality impacts, less traffic generation, less demand on public facilities, and less aesthetic impact. Because the project site has already been graded and only minor regrading of the large multi-family building pads would be necessary to accommodate the redesigned project, the Master EIR for the General Plan Update 1994, the Certified Final EIR 90-03 for Specific Plan 203, and the approved Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT 92-02/Sambi, all provide adequate environmental analysis and mitigation to cover the proposed project amendments. All the appropriate and applicable mitigation measures from these environmental documents will be carried through and added as conditions to the resolutions of approvals for CT 92-02(A)/Sambi Seaside Heights. The Planning Director has issued a Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance based on the project’s existing environmental documentation, the Environmental Impact Assessment Form - Part II, an updated noise study on file in the Planning Department, and field visits to the project site. During the public review period for the Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance, no public comments were received. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: L The summary of environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact,” or “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. q Land Use and Planning 0 Transportation/Circulation 0 Public Services 0 Population and Housing 0 Biological Resources q Utilities & Service Systems 0 Geological Problems 0 Energy & Mineral Resources q Aesthetics cl Water Cl Hazards cl Cultural Resources q Air Quality Ix1 Noise cl Recreation q Mandatory Findings of Significance 1 Rev. 03/28/96 f&3 DETERMINATION. (To be completed by the Lead Agency) Cl cl cl Cl El 1 find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I 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 NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An EIRkNeg Dee is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I 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 all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been voided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared. Date Planning Directo&%gnat&e Date 2 Rev. 03128196 14 ENVIRONMENTAL h\&ACTS - 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 (EIR), Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration. l A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A “No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. 0 “Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies. l “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe .the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. l “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. l Based on an “EIA-Part II”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, but 4 potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance). l When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR. l 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. 3 Rev. 03/28/96 0 If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared. 0 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and including but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a level of significance. 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. 4 Rev. 03/28/96 .!9b - Issues (and Supporting Information Sources).

However, as a result of a change in the alignment of Cherry Blossom Road and the elimination of an access street that was required as part of the Coastal Commission’s modified approval of CT92-02/Sambi, the project’s City approved site plans for the single-family, multi-family, and community facility planning areas (“A’‘-“D”) must be revised. The proposed amendment for the redesign of the site plans would constitute some minor regrading of streets and building pads for the redesigned multi-family, single-family, and community facility planning areas. The proposed amendments to the project would result in 134 multi-family units (86 multi-family units less than the City approved CT92-02/Sambi), 139 single-family units (10 single-family units more than the approved project), and 1.8 acres of community facility land use to be consolidated into one area along Hidden Valley Road (.46 acres less than the City approved project). Overall, the redesigned site plans would result in 279 residential units as compared to the 349 residential units for the City approved CT92-02/Sambi (A total of 70 fewer residential units). In addition, the Coastal Commission’s modified approval of CT92-02/Sambi resulted in 1.46 acres of additional natural open space. The project site is located within the boundaries of Specific Plan 203 which covers the 640 acre Zone 20 Planning Area. The Specific Plan has a certified Final Program EIR that covers all residential development located within the specific plan area. Since a Final Program EIR was certified for Specific Plan 203 and the requested project amendments to CT92-02/Sambi are consistent with the specific plan, the CEQA Guidelines under Section 15182, “Residential Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan”, states that if a public agency has prepared a EIR for a specific plan after January 1, 1980, no EIR or Negative Declaration need be prepared for a residential project undertaken pursuant to and in conformity to that plan. The original Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT92-02/Sambi was prepared to update and refine the biological analysis and evaluate environmental impacts created by offsite roadway and sewer line extensions located outside of the specific plan area (Hidden Valley Road) that were not covered under the Program EIR. Since the project site and offsite roadways, drainage basins, and sewer line have all been graded, the required mitigation measures from the project’s EIR and Mitigated Negative Declaration are being been implemented as part of the project’s current grading operation. These mitigation measures include the biological mitigation required by the City, CA Coastal Commission, CA Department of Fish and Game, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Because the revised site plans would have 70 fewer residential dwelling units, less community facility land use acreage, and more natural open space, the revised project design would further reduce environmental impacts, resulting in a more environmentally sensitive and preferred project. Fewer residential dwelling units and more open space equates to more natural habitat protection, less air pollution and water quality impacts, less traffic generation, less demand on public facilities, and less aesthetic impact. Because the project site has already been graded and only minor regrading of streets and the large multifamily building pads would be necessary to accommodate the redesigned project, the Master EIR for the General Plan Update 1994, the Certified Final EIR 90-03 for Specific Plan 203, and the approved Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT92-02/Sambi, all provide adequate environmental analysis and mitigation to 10 Rev. 03/28/96 7% cover the proposed revr,;d project. The redesign of the residential site plans for Planning Area “A” , “B”, “C”, and “D”, results in a rearrangement of local streets and driveways, parking spaces, recreational open space facilities, and residential structures, however, all the proposed development is located within the confines of the existing large rough graded pad areas and there is no development encroachment beyond these graded areas. Redesigning the physical layout of the residential development within the confines of the larger existing graded pads does not create additional environmental impacts beyond those already considered in the Master EIR for the General Plan Update 1994, Final EIR 90-03, and the approved Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT92-02/Sambi. All the appropriate and applicable mitigation measures from these environmental documents will be carried through and added as conditions to the resolutions of approvals for CT 92-02(A)/Sambi Seaside Heights. LAND USE AND PLANNING: The redesigned site plans maintain the same types of land uses, in that, Area “A” still contains multi-family residential development adjacent to Alga Road and the large open space canyon to the east, Area “B” and “C” still contains single-family development, and Area “D” still contains multi-family development across from Poinsettia Community Park. The project’s only major land use rearrangement is the consolidation and relocation of the two community facility sites, into one, 1.8 acre site, relocated to an area north of Cherry Blossom Road, adjacent to Hidden Valley Road. The proposed community facility site would be located adjacent to Hidden Valley Road to the west and an open space area located north of Cherry Blossom Road. Given the site’s location across from Poinsettia Community Park to the west, direct access to Cherry Blossom Road to the south, and natural open space buffers to the north and east, the future community facility land use would be compatible with the surrounding park and residential land uses and not create significant land use impacts CUMULATIVE IMPACTS: I Air Quality: The implementation of projects that are consistent with and included in the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle miles traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin”, any additional air emissions are considered cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region. To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout, a variety of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measures to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demand Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5) participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable and appropriate (&era! Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the II Rev. 03/28/96 1’ design of the project 01 -1.e mcluded as conditions of project approval. a Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for air quality impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all projects consistent with the General Plan’s Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the Planning Department. Circulation: The implementation of projects that are consistent with and included in the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections are projected to fail the City’s adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout. To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout, numerous mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation strategies when adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for circulation impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all projects consistent with the General Plan’s Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of circulation impacts is required.

RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3590 recommending APPROVAL of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 3591,3592,3593, and 3594, recommending APPROVAL of CT 92-02, PUD 92-03, SDP 92-06, and HDP 92-03, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECF DF$RIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting recommendation of approval for a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, and Hillside Development Permit to subdivide 129 single-family lots, subdivide and construct 76 townhomes and 72 condominium units, construct 72 apartment units, and designate two future community facility sites, all on property generally located east of Paseo de1 Norte, north of Camino de las Ondas, and south of Palomar Airport Road. The parcel is located in the Coastal Zone, totals 68.5 gross acres, is undeveloped, and a majority of the site is currently under agricultural cultivation. The property has a split zoning and General Plan Land Use designation. The property is located in the Residential Density-Multiple Zone with the Qualified Overlay Zone @D-M-Q) and in the One-Family Residential Zone with the Qualified Overlay Zone (R-1-10,000-Q). ‘The General Plan Land Use designation is Residential Medium (RM) and Residential Medium Low (RLM). In addition, the project is subject to the requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203) and Final Environmental Impact Report 90-3. - CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, aL_ 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 The applicant is processing a vesting tentative map which is different from a tentative map. When a local agency, such as the City, approves a vesting tentative map, State law and local ordinance (Title 20) stipulates that the approval of the map confers a vested right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with the local ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the application was deemed complete. It is a vested guarantee that if an ordinance or standard changes before the vesting tentative map is finaled or building permits issued, the project would not be subject to the new requirements. As shown on Exhibits “A” - “YYY’, the project is divided into four different land use areas as follows: Area “A” - In the eastern portion of the site, east of future Alga Road, there would be: (1) a 1.3 acre future community facility site and a natural open space area with a Citywide trail link; (2) a 72 unit condominium development with two-story buildings, dwelling units ranging in size from 858 to 1,375 square feet, two-car garages and carports, guest parking, and a central recreational facility with a pool and club house; and (3) a 72 unit, two-story, apartment development with one, two, and three-bedroom units ranging in size from 551 to 1,017 square feet, carports and guest parking, and several recreational areas including a pool and a tot lot. Area “B” - In the central portion of the site, directly west of future Alga Road, there would be 40 single-family lots ranging in size from 10,000 to 28,300 square feet and a 42,000 square feet future community facility site. Area “cl - Also in the central portion of the site, located west of Area “B”, there would be 89 single-family lots ranging in size from 7,500 to 11,800 square feet. Area “D” - In the western portion of the site, adjacent to future Hidden Valley Road, there would be 76, two-story townhouse units, ranging in size from 2,010 to 2,350 square feet, with two-car garages, guest parking, and a central recreational facility with a pool and club house. A majority of the project would feature contemporary architecture consisting of Spanish tile roofs with varying roof lines, and stucco exteriors. Area “D” would have townhomes with contemporary architecture and metal seamed roofs to be more compatible with the architecture and materials proposed for the buildings in future Poinsettia Community Park located directly west of the project site. Per the requirements of the City’s recently adopted Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, 15% of the proposed dwelling units (47 affordable units) must be provided for lower income households. However, because the applicant is requesting a Density Bonus, 20% of the total dwelling units (63 affordable units) must be reserved as affordable to lower income households. The applicant is proposing to provide those affordable dwelling units within the apartment portion of the project (Area “A”). The project would be conditioned to require an Affordable Housing Agreement that would be submitted for review and approval by the City prior to Final Map approval. - CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, JL. 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 3 Access to the project would be provided by the northern extension of Alga Road from it’s current intersection at Poinsettia Lane and from Hidden Valley Road which would extend from Camino de las Ondas north along the project’s western boundary and connect with Palomar Airport Road to the north. The surrounding neighborhood is undeveloped with vacant land on all four sides. The future Poinsettia Community Park would be located directly west on the opposite side of future Hidden Valley Road.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT The property has a Residential Medium (RM) and Residential Medium Low (RLM) General Plan Land Use Designation. The RM designation allows the development of low density apartment, condominium, or townhome developments that range in density from 4 to 8 dus/acre with a 6 dus/acre growth management control point. The RLM designation allows single-family homes that range in density from 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre with a 3.2 dus/acre growth control point. The net density in the RLM portion of the project is 9.18 dwelling units per acre and the net density in the RM portion is 4.4 dwelling units per acre. The project contains a combination of apartments, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family homes all developed at an overall net density of 5.8 dus/acre, therefore, the project, exclusive of the density bonus request, is consistent with the growth management dwelling unit allowance for the parcel. OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION ELEMFBT The property contains no existing or approved General Plan open space, however, the Zone 20 Specific Plan designates open space in the very northeastern comer of the property. This specific plan designated open space also corresponds with the conceptual open space associated with a greenway and a planned trail system link per the open space exhibits found in the City’s Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan (OSCRMP). This project is consistent with the OSCRMP and Zone 20 Specific Plan in that: (1) a 20 foot wide trail easement would be provided to accommodate Trail Segment No. 30 within the SDG&E powerline easement; and, (2) the project would also preserve in protected open space the steep coastal sage covered slopes located in the northeastern comer of the project. HOUSING ELEhdENT All residential development within the Zone 20 Specific Plan is required to include a percentage of housing units affordable to persons and families of lower income. Consistent with the policies and programs of the Housing Element and subsequent to the affordable housing requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan the project would provide 15% or 47 apartment units available and affordable to lower income households. In addition, and consistent with Housing Element Policy 3.2 the project would provide at least 10% of the lower income units with three or more bedrooms. - CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, SLr 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 B. ZONE 20 SPECIFIC PLAN (SPECIFIC PLAN 203) The Zone 20 Specific Plan provides a framework for the development of the vacant properties within Zone 20 to ensure the logical and efficient provision of public facilities and community amenities for the future residents of the planning area. This project meets the goals and objectives of the specific plan for the following reasons: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (61 (7) The project conforms to all aspects of the General Plan and applicable City ordinances, regulations and policies. As conditioned the project provides coordination between surrounding developments through the provision of roadway connections with properties to the north, east, south, and west. The residential land uses are compatible with the existing multi-family residential land uses to the south and the future community park to the west. The project implements the objective of an integrated open space and trail system within the planning area. The project provides an attractive, well buffered, and landscaped circulation system that safely and aesthetically provides for the needs of automobiles, cyclists, pedestrians and adjacent land uses. The provision of the following land uses creates a well planned, yet diversified community: (1) single-family lots ranging in size from 7,500 to over 10,000 square feet; (2) higher density multi-family townhomes located near a community park (Poinsettia Park) and a non-loaded collector street (Hidden Valley Rd.); (3) two future community facility sites (potential church and daycare) located adjacent to a major roadway (Alga Road); (4) higher density condominium units located adjacent to a community facility site and natural open space; and (5) apartment units available to low income households located adjacent to a major circulation element roadway (Alga Road) and natural open space. The project would provide two community facility sites along future Alga Road. The 1.31 acre site on the east side of the road is designated for a potential church site. Because this site does not have a minimum of 2 net useable acres, as required by the specific plan, staff recommends that a conditional use permit be approved by the Planning Commission prior to development of the site. The .9 acre site located on the west side of the Alga Road is designated for a potential day care facility. This site meets the location and .5 acre size criteria established by the specific plan, . therefore, staff recommends that no further discretionary action be required to develop the site with a day care use. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03/ &. 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15,1993 The project is located in Planning Area “A” of the Zone 20 Specific Plan and complies with the required “Special Design Criteria” as follows: (1) An average 50 foot setback from Alga Road would be provided. (2) Noise mitigation measures for the single-family homes, condominium units, and apartments units impacted by traffic noise from Alga Road would be provided. (3) Enhan d 1 d ce an scaping would be provided along Hidden Valley Road and Alga Road, and on the manufactured slopes between the terraced building pads. (4) The buildi ng elevations for the single-family homes, townhomes, condominium units, and apartment buildings all would have a variety of materials, architectural accent features, articulated wall and roof planes, varying roof heights and building massing, and street setbacks. The various site plans would also have curvilinear streets to follow the natural contours and to provided visual interest within the project. C. CARLSBAD MUNICJPAL, CODE. TITLE 21: 1. PIANNFiD DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 21.45: The utilization of the Planned Development Ordinance in conjunction with the vesting tentative tract map for this project allows for the following: (1) use of private gate guarded streets in the single-family portion of the project; (2) provides a method to approve separate ownership of the 72 air space condominium units located within the multiple-unit buildings in Area “A” and the 76 postage-stamp townhouse lots located in Area “D”; and, (3) allows for the development of multi-family residential development in an R-1-10,000 Zone in Area “A”. Before the Planning Commission recommends approval of the project to the City Council, Title 21 of the Municipal Code under Section 21.45.072 requires that the following findings be made: a. ‘The g-ranting of this permit will not adversely affect and will be consistent with Chapter 21.45, the Zone 20 Specific Plan, and all adopted plans of the City and other governmental agencies.” The project is consistent with Chapter 21.45, the Zone 20 Specific Plan, the General Plan, and the Local Coastal Program, because it meets all the Planned Development standards, and single-family and multi-family residential land uses would be developed at the appropriate lot size and residential density. See Section A under General Plan, Section B under Specific Plan, and Section F under Mello II for a more detailed discussion on compliance with these three land use plans. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, ;Ll 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15,1993 b. “The proposed use is necessary and desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the long-term general well-being of the neighborhood and the commlmity.” The development of two community facility sites, single-family lots, condominiums, townhomes, and apartments would provide a balance and mix of land uses within the Zone 20 Specific Plan. A majority of the residential development planned for the specific plan area would be standard single-family homes on 7,500 to 10,000 square foot lots. The development of higher density multi-family units in close proximity to natural open space, Poinsettia Community Park, and future Alga Road, in addition to the provision of apartment units affordable to lower income household would create a more diversified and balanced community. C. “Such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working iu the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.” The project is designed to preserve the coastal sage scrub habitat located along the eastern portion of Area “A”. This open space would connect with the larger open space located in the central canyon. Drainage facilities would be provided concurrent with development of the project to reduce erosion and flooding. All manufactured slopes would be landscaped to prevent erosion and to visually screen the slopes. d. “The proposed planned development meets all of the minimum development standards set forth iu Section 21.45.090, the desigu criteria set forth in Section 21.45.080, and has been designed in accordance with the concepts contained in the Design Guidelines Manual.” i. The local streets in the single-family portion of the project would have curb, gutter, and sidewalks on both sides, and have 36 to 40 feet of paving. This exceeds the 30 foot minimum private street width standard. ii. The project would provide a mixture of one and two-story homes, and the multi-family buildings would have varied roof lines, and a variety of front building elevations and front yard setbacks. . . . 111. Adequate recreational vehicle storage space would be provided within the individual projects and be sufficiently screened from the public right-of-way and surrounding properties. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, &A 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15,1993 PAGE 8 iv. The single-family homes would have, at a minimum two car garages which would meet the parking and storage requirements of the ordinance, and guest parking would be provided on both sides of the streets. The condominiums and townhomes all have two covered parking spaces, including garages and carports for residents, and guest parking is dispersed along the internal driveways. V. The project complies with the Planned Development Ordinance as follows: PRIVATE STREET & DRIVEWAY WIDTH DRIVEWAY AND STREETSETBACK BUILDING HEIGHT I REQUIRED 30 Feet 5 to 20 Feet 30 To 35 Feet PARKING: RESIDENT: 2 Covered Spaces Per Unit 2 Covered Spaces Per Unit Including Garage Spaces & carports.

The manufactured slopes would be landscaped, and the single-family lots would terrace down the slope towards the west to conform with the topography. The homes have roof lines that are varied and relate to the topography. In addition, the northeastern comer of the site would be preserved to protect the coastal sage habitat and to provide open space in the central canyon.

The proposed residential land uses are compatible in scale, architecture, and building materials with the multi- family residential development to the south and future Poinsettia Community Park to the west. Public street improvements would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. The adjacent properties to the south have either existing multi-family residential development or are planned for multi-family and single-family residential development, therefore, the proposed multi-family and single-family residential developments in this project would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 2. C.WPTER21.53, SECTION 21.53.120, SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - “AFFORDABLE HOUSING” AND CHAPTER 21.06, QUALIFIED OVERLAY ZONE The Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.53.120 requires a Site Development Plan for any multi-family residential apartment development having more than 4 dwelling units or an affordable housk moiect of any size. This project would have 349 residential units of which 47 of those units must be designated as affordable to lower income households. The building pad in Area “A”/Lot 133 of the project does not meet the Hillside Development Ordinance’s standard for slope height (30 foot high maximum). A portion of the fill slope on the eastern edge of the building pad for the apartments is 43 feet high which exceeds the standard by 13 feet for approximately 100 linear feet along the slope. In order to provide affordable housing in this project the applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that this standard be modified under Section 21.53.120(c) Development Standards. A Site Development Plan for an affordable housing project may allow less restrictive development standards than specified in the zone code or underlying zone if the project is in conformance with the General Plan and would not have a detrimental effect on public health, safety and welfare. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03/oLL 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 10 Before the Planning Commission recommends approval of the project to the City Council, Title 21 of the Municipal Code under Section 21.53.120(c) requires that the following finding be made: ‘That the project is in conformity with the General Plan and adopted policies and goals of the City, and it would have no detrimental effect on public heal&, safety and welfare.” See the section below entitled med Develment Ove&v Zone (0) for additional findings of fact that also apply to this finding requirement of the code. The creation of a 43 foot high manufactured fill slope that exceeds the 30 foot standard does not pose a health and safety problem if the recommendations of the projects’s geotechnical report are adhered to. The slope height standard of 30 feet is an aesthetic regulation intended to minimize visual impacts created by large manufactured slopes. The overheight slope would not face any public roadways including Alga Road and be contour graded and adequately landscaped to provide for visual screening, thus, offsetting any visual impacts created by the additional 12 feet of slope height. QUALIFIED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE (Q)/CHAPTER 21.06 The zoning for the property includes the Qualified Development Overlay Zone (Q), therefore, before the Planning Commission recommends approval of the project to the City Council, Title 21, Chapter 21.06, Section 21.06.020(b) requires the Planning Commission to make the following findings: (1) ‘That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and envimmnental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, will not be detrimental to exkting uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the pmposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or trafEc circulation.” The project is consistent with the General Plan and Zone 20 Specific Plan as explained in Sections A and B of this report. The project would not have a significant impact on the environment as discussed in Section G of this report. The proposed residential land uses are compatible in scale, architecture, and building materials with the multi-family residential development to the south the future commumty park to the west. Public street improvements would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03/ ~Lw 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 11 (2) That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use.” The project complies with all City ordinances and polices except for the Hillside Ordinance’s slope height standard as explained in Section C(2) of this report, therefore, the parcel is adequate in size, shape and slope to accommodate the proposed land uses. (3) That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other feahmes necessary to adjust the requested use to exkting or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained.” The project would be conditioned to provide a solid wall or fence, and landscaped windbreaks along the perimeter of any future developable area that abuts property under “open field” cultivation, in order to reduce public nuisance effects of adjacent pesticide spraying and dust generation from farm operations. Area “B” and “C” - Single-fkmily Residential: a). Standard R-l Zone front, side and rear setbacks would be provided for each home, and all homes would have at least a two-car garages to satisfy off- street parking requirements. b). The front yards of all the lots would be landscaped with a minimum of 3 street trees of varying sizes, and the 50 foot setback along Alga Road would be landform graded and heavily landscaped. Area “A” and “D” - Multi-Family Residential And Community Facility Site: a). The bulk and scale of the proposed two-story condominiums, townhouses, and apartment buildings would be compatible with the existing and surrounding residential development to the south. The proposed multi-family townhomes would provide an appropriate transition between the proposed single-family land use to the east and the future community park land use to the west. W. The design of the project would assure a unique mix of residential development, and enhance the aesthetic quality of the area as follows: i. The street setbacks would be landscaped with a combination of trees and shrubs to partially screen the residential structures from the public streets. CT 92-02/PUD 92-OJ/ oL& 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15,1993 PAGE 12 ii. The building elevations would have textured stucco exteriors and tile and metal roofs, varied roof lines, architectural accent features and building forms, and varied building facades. . . . ill. The dwelling units would be orientated at various angles along the driveways to provide an enclosure of space between the buildings and to provide more visual interest when the project is viewed from the public streets. (4) ‘That the street system serving the pmposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use.” Area ‘8” zind “C’ - Single-Family Residential: All the local, collector, and major streets, both within and offsite of this project would be constructed to City standards, have underground utilities, and contain public sidewalks. A pedestrian access is provided between Lots 47 and 48 in Area “c” to allow access to future Hidden Valley Road and Poinsettia Community Park. Area “A” and “D” - Multi-Family Residential And Commmity Facility Site: a>. W 4. d). d. The project would provide adequate onsite parking (498 parking spaces) and circulation to serve the needs of the residents and their guests, and it would not impact the availability of offsite street parking. Sidewalks and drainage facilities would be provided along the project’s street frontages to serve the project. The proposed 30 to 45 foot wide central private driveways would be adequate to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation, vehicle turn movements, and emergency access. The City’s Parking Ordinance requires a minimum standard width of 24 feet for a two-way traffic aisle containing ninety degree parking on both sides. A 24 foot driveway aisle provides adequate separation and distance for vehicles backing out of parking spaces and adequate separation for two-way traffic (12 feet per travel lane). An internal pedestrian circulation system that is separated from the driveways within the multi-family projects would be provided and allow sufficient and safe access to the recreation facility and adjacent public streets. Adequate access for emergency vehicles is provided by the central 30 to 45 foot wide private driveways that service the multi-family projects. The 30 to 45 foot wide driveways are also wide enough to accommodate emergency vehicles, and the project would be conditioned to prohibit parallel parking along the 30 foot wide driveways. The project has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department. - CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, SL, 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 3. HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS/ CXWTEFt 21.95 The project site contains slopes of 15% or greater and an elevation differential greater than 15 feet, therefore, a Hillside Development ‘Permit is required. The project design is in conformance with the development and design standards of the Hillside Developmenr Regulations and the Hillside Development Guidelines, with exception to the maximum 30 foot high slope standard and the restriction on developing on slopes 40% and greater. A 43 foot high fill slope is being requested to provide a building pad large enough to accommodate 72 apartment units, a portion of which would be designated as affordable to lower income households (see discussion under Site Development Plan, Section C(2) of this report). Grading of 40% slopes would also be necessary to construct portions of Alga Road. Areas where circulation element roadways must be placed and no feasible alternatives consistent with this chapter are available may be excluded from the requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations by the decision making body based on Section 21.95.090(b) (2) of the ordinance. The alignment of Alga Road in this area was established with the approval of the tentative map for Cobblestone Sea Village (CT 84-32). Analysis of alternatives for Alga Road indicated that due to constraints from the SDG&E powerline easement that traverses through the main canyon there is no feasible alternative consistent with the Hillside Development Regulations. Before the Planning Commission approves the Hillside Development Permit, Title 21, Chapter 21.95, Section 21.95.030 requires that the Planning Commission make the following findings: (1) “That hillside conditions and undewhpable areas of the project have been properly identified.” The site’s hillside slope conditions and undevelopable areas have been identified on Constraints Exhibit ‘X’ dated, December 15, 1993. (2) ‘That the development proposal and all applicable development approvals and permits are consistent with the purpose, intent, and requirements of this chapter and that the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrated in the hillside development guidelines manual.” a). All manufactured cut and fill slopes are landform/contour graded and do not exceed a height of 30 feet, except for the 43 foot high slope along the eastern portion of the apartment development in Area “A” (See Site Development Plan, Section C(2) of this report for further explanation). - CT 92-02/PUD 92-03,jL, 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER15,1993 PAGE14 b). 4. 4. 4. 0. The project’s cut/fill grading volumes of 8,652 cubic yards per graded acre falls within the “potentially acceptable range” of 8,000 - 10,000 cubic yds./acre. Included in these volumes is 86,000 cubic yards of grading for Alga Road which is a circulation element roadway. When grading for Alga Road is subtracted out of the grading calculations, the project’s grading volumes are reduced to 7,773 cubic yards per graded acre and are within the “acceptable range”. Landscaping in conformance with the Zone 20 Specific Plan and the City’s Landscape Manual would be provided on all manufactured slopes to assist in visually screening the slopes and to reduce erosion. All structures and roofs within the project would be earth tone in color to reduce visual impacts. A percentage of the homes along the north/south trending and gently sloping ridgeline would be one-story in height and all homes would have varying roof lines. The multi-family residential buildings are setback from the top of manufactured slopes from a range of 15 to 60 feet, along the eastern portion of Area “A”. (3) ‘That no development or grading will occur in those portions of the property which are undevelopable pursuan t to the provisions of Section 21.53.230 of this code.” All undevelopable areas have been identified and except for Alga Road no development or grading would occur in the areas containing 4O%+ slopes. (4) ‘That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside lands.” The proposed grading would create single-family building pads that are terraced for views and step down the slope. A majority of the local streets and manufactured slopes are curving and are aligned to follow the north/south trending contours. The street alignments and curving landfoxm graded slopes would reduce visual impacts created by the grading and help simulate the natural slope conditions. 4. INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE, CHAFTER 21.85: The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance implements the inclusionary objectives of the Housing Element (Objective 3.6), and at a minimum, the project would be required to provide not less than 15% of all proposed residential units affordable to lower income households. The CT 9202/PUD 92-03,aLL 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 General Plan permits 312 dwelling units on this site, therefore, 15% of those units would yield a minimum requirement to provide 47 housing units affordable to lower income households, (Note: the applicant has requested a density bonus, therefore, 20% of the 312 base units dwelling units or 63 units must be affordable). The applicant is proposing to meet the affordable housing requirement of the project within the apartment portion of the site plan (Area ‘A’/Lot 133). In addition, at least five (10% min.) of the affordable apartment units must be three-bedroom. The applicant is proposing three-bedroom units. that contain 1,017 square feet to accommodate larger families. The project would be conditioned to require an Affordable Housing Agreement that would be submitted for review and approval by the City prior to Final Map approval. The Affordable Housing Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the applicant and the City which provides the specific details regarding the implementation of the affordable housing requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan and subsequent conformance with the City’s Housing Element. 5. DENSITY BONUS ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 21.86: The applicant is requesting an 11.8 percent density bonus above the maximum General Plan land use designation for the site (RLM/RM), under the provisions of the City’s Residential Density Bonus Ordinance. The purpose of this ordinance is to provide incentives to developers for the production of housing affordable to lower income households. Density bonus means a minimum density increase of at least 25% over the growth management dwelling unit allowance for the project site. Section 21.86.030 of the ordinance states that for new residential construction the City shall grant a density bonus and at least one additional incentive. Additional incentives may consist of a reduction in development standards and architectural design requirements, partial or additional densitv, and direct financial aid. Under the provisions for a density bonus the applicant must agree to construct a minimum of 20% (more restrictive than 15% inclusionary requirement) of the total base units of the project as restricted and affordable to low income households, or a minimum of 10% of the total base units as restricted and affordable to very low income households. The project would have 72 apartment units in Area “A” and the applicant shall meet these minimum density bonus requirements by providing 63 apartment units affordable to lower income households.

The impacts on public facilities created by this project and compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized as follows: FACtLIlY ME?ACl% CITY ADMINISTRATION 1,213.36 sq. ft. LIBRARY 647.1 sq. ft. WASTE WATER TREATMENT 353 EDU PARKS 2.42 Acres DRAINAGE N/A CIRCULATION 3650 ADT FIRE Station # 4 OPEN SPACE 9.03 Acres SCHOOLS CUSD SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM 353 EDU WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM 77,660 GPD .coMewcE WrrH STANDARDS Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The proposed project would exceed the allowable growth management density of 312.17 dwelling units for the site by 36.83 dwelling units, (349 proposed units). The Growth Management Ordinance, Section 21.90.045, states that no residential development permit shall be approved in which density exceeds the growth management control point for the applicable density range (RLM 0 - 3.2 & RM - 4 - 8 dus/acre), unless the following findings are made: (1) ‘The project will mmide sufiicient additional mblic facilities for the den&v in excess of the contml mint to ensure that the adeauacv of the Citv’s mblic facilities plans will not be adverselv impacted.” This project will be served by public facilities which are adequate to meet the increased demand generated by the increased density. In general, public facilities have been sized to accommodate the maximum development allowed under the General Plan and Proposition E for the Southwest Quadrant. The density increase CT 92-02/PUD 92-05, JDr 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 17 requested for this project simply shifts density from one portion of the quadrant to another and does not create an overall increase in demand beyond the projections contained in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan. Therefore, sufficient facilities are either already in place or will be provided concurrent with the project to ensure that the adequacy of the City’s public facility plans will not be adversely impacted. (2) “There have been suf%ient develomnents aoDToved in the auadxxnt at densities below the control Doint to cover the units in the proiect above the control wint so that amxoval will not result in exceedinsr the uuadrant limit.” The Aviara Master Plan has been approved for development of approximately 572 dwelling units less than what was projected in the adopted Zone 19 LFMP. These units are referred to as “excess” units, and they may be utilized to grant density increases elsewhere in the Southwest Quadrant, subject to City Council Policy No. 43. Approval of this project will make use of 36.83 units, leaving a balance of approximately 535.17 units that would be available for density increases to other future projects. Monitoring of the balance of excess units and density increases will assure that the quadrant limits stated in Proposition E are never exceeded. (31 “All necessarv public facilities rechred bv this chapter will be constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurren tly with the need for them created bv this development and in compliance with the adopted Citv standards.” As stated in finding #l, all public facilities necessary to serve this project are either already in place or will be provided by conditions of approval placed on the project. As shown in the table above, all facilities will remain in compliance with adopted City standards. E. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCWITFLE 20 The proposed tentative map would comply with all the requirements of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance, Title 20. Currently there are no public roads to serve the project site, therefore, the developer must extend public street improvements off the project site to connect to the existing circulation network. In addition, in order to comply with the City cul-de-sac policy the developer is required to construct a second offsite road connection for emergency access purposes. To satisfy this secondary access requirement, the developer is proposing to extend Hidden Valley Road north from the project site to Palomar Airport Road. The developer is also proposing to extend Alga Road from the project site south to the current terminus of Alga Road at its intersection with Poinsettia Lane. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, SL, 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 18 The construction of these two access roads together with the onsite roads shown on the proposed vesting tentative map would be adequate to serve the proposed project. In addition, new traffic signals would be necessary at the intersections of Hidden Valley Road/Palomar Airport Road, Alga/Poinsettia Lane, and Alga Road/Cherry Blossom Road. With the construction of the roads and traffic signals, the proposed project would comply with the established standards of the Growth Management Ordinance. The project site naturally drams into two separate sewer basins. The portion of the project west of Alga Road drams west towards Hidden Valley Road where it would be collected in a main line and carried north down Hidden Valley Road to the main trunk line adjacent to Palomar Airport Road. The portion of project east of Alga Road naturally drains north to Cherry Blossom Road and ultimately flows in a main line down the canyon which runs parallel with Alga Road and connects to the same trunk line adjacent to Palomar Airport Road. On an interim basis, the developer is proposing to construct a sewer lift station adjacent to Cherry Blossom Road and pump the sewer across Alga Road to the sewer main in Hidden Valley Road. The developer is required to contribute a fair share contribution towards the construction of the future main line in the Alga Road canyon through payment of the sewer benefit area fee established for this sewer drainage basin. To mitigate drainage impacts from ‘the project site the developer is required to provide adequate drainage, erosion control, and urban pollutant basins. To comply with Water Quality standards, City grading and erosion control requirements, and the requirements of the Mello II segment of the Local Coastal Program, the developer is required to install permanent and or temporary siltation/retention basins at the downstream end of all proposed storm drain pipes. F. MELLO II SEGMENT OF LOCAL COASFAL PROGRAM The project is located in the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and complies with the plan as follows: (1) The project is located within the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone. The construction of Hidden Valley Road offsite would impact disturbed riparian habitat and 25%+ slopes containing coastal sage scrub habitat located in a small drainage that flows to the north and along En&as Creek which flows east to west. This road is required to provide access and sewer facilities to this northwestern portion of the Zone 20 Specific Plan and there are no alternatives to the road aiigmnent that would be more environmentally sensitive. To offset the biological impacts created by Hidden Valley Road a mitigation program has been provided. In addition, portions of onsite Alga Road, Cherry Blossom Road and Camino de las Ondas would impact 25%+ slopes containing coastal sage scrub habitat. These roadway links are necessary to provide access to developable areas while at the same time comply with City engineering standards and policies for major, collector, and local roadways. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03,3LI 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 19 The Overlay Zone permits development and grading on slopes over 25% with native coastal habitat when it is a circulation element roadway (Alga Road), a utility system (sewer lines, drainage basins, etc.), and in order to provide access to developable areas of the project site if there is no less environmentally damaging alternative. In all cases biological mitigation is proposed to offset any impacts to coastal sage habitat. The project has been conditioned such that prior to approval of a final map, all applicable state and federal resource agencies must be consulted, applicable permits must be obtained, and a final biological mitigation program must be approved. (2) The project would also be conditioned to provide adequate drainage, siltation, and erosion control facilities as part of the approved grading permit. The grading operation would be limited to the summer construction season, April 1 to October 1. (3) The project contains vacant non-prime agricultural land containing Class III and IV soils and is located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone (Site II). The Mello II LCP requires mitigation when non-prime coastal agricultural land is converted to urban land uses. The project would be conditioned to comply with one of the three LCP mitigation options provided when projects are located in Site II: (1) “Prime Land Exchange”; (2) “Determination of Agricultural Feasibility”; and (3) “Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee”. G. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW/ TITLB 19 AND CEOA The project site is located within the boundaries of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203) which covers the 640 acre Zone 20 planning area. The direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts from the future development of the Zone 20 planning area have been discussed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR 90-03) for the specific plan. The recommended and applicable mitigation measures of Final EIR 90-03 would be included as conditions of approval for this project. Per the requirements of Final EIR 90-03 additional project specific environmental studies, including biological analysis, have been prepared. These studies provide more focused and detailed project level analysis and indicate that additional environmental impacts beyond what was analyzed in Final EIR 90- 03 would result from implementation of the project. Per the recommendations of Final EIR 90-03 a Conditional Negative Declaration was issued for this project to evaluate the additional environmental impacts to coastal sage scrub and riparian habitats created by onsite development and the alignment of Hidden Valley Road north to Palomar Airport Road. The Planning Director has determined that the project could have a significant effect on the environment, however, there would not be a significant effect in this case since the mitigation measures described in the attached initial study have been added to the project. This decision was based on findings of the Environmental Assessment Part II, Biological Resource Impact Studies, a Geotechnical Report, acoustical study, traffic report, and a field surveys by staff. A Conditional Negative Declaration was issued by the Planning Director on August 5, 1993. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03, SL, 92-06/HDP 92-03 SAMBI DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 20 The Conditional Negative Declaration was sent to the State Clearinghouse for State Public Agency review, and one letter from the Department of Fish and Game was received. It was also sent to the United State Fish and Wildlife Setice and the Army Corps of Engineers for review and no comments were received. The Department of Fish and Game has indicated that the project would create impacts to sensitive coastal sage scrub and riparian habitat and they have requested consultation, therefore, the project has been conditioned such that prior to approval of a final map, all applicable state and federal resource agencies must be consulted, applicable permits must be obtained, and a final biological mitigation program must be approved. Iv. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDA~ON The proposed project: (1) is consistent with the general plan; (2) complies with the Zone 20 Specific Plan; (3) meets the requirements of Title 20 and 21; (4) findings for the Site Development Plan can be made under Section 21.06.020 and 21.53.120; (5) is consistent with the Mello II Local Coastal Program; (6) complies with Growth Management; and (7) is in conformance with the mitigation requirements of Final EIR 90-03, and will not significantly impact the environment, therefore, staff recommends approval of CT 92- 02/PUD 92-03/SDP 92-06/HDP 92-03.

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 8 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 l An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a siznificant effect on the environment. The project may qua@ for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insimificant. These fIndings are shown in the checklist under the headings YES-s&” and “YES-in@ respectively. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the foxm under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. - PHYSICAL ENvIRoNMFNr WILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: YES YES big) Gnsig> 1.

Does the project have emironmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? x x x -- X DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONi ,l AL EVALUATION PROJECI’ BACKGROUND ANIl EWARON?vENTAL SEITlNG: The project is located S0Ut.h of Palomar Airport Road, east of Paseo De1 None, adjacent to future Hidden Valley Road, and north of Camin De Las Ondas in the City of Carlsbad. The western two-thirds of the property is almost entirely utilized for active agricultural use. The property contains gently sloping topography that rises from west to east towards a ridgeline. At the northwestern comer of the property is the edge of a highly disturbed finger canyon which continues north and eventually connects with Canyon de las Encinas. Along the eastern edge of the property is a larger north/south canyon system. Elevation ranges horn 156 to 300 feet above mean sea level. Soil types include Las Flares loamy fine sand, Gaviota line sandy loam, and Chesterson fine sandy loam. Three vegetation types are present on the property: ruderal/agriculture, Diegan coastal sage scrub in varying levels of disturbance, and disturbed riparian scrub. Vehicular access to the site would be provided from Camino de las Ondas, future Alga Road from Poinsettia Lane, and a future collector street named Hidden Valley Road. Hidden Valley Road would travel along the site’s western property line, intersect with Camino de las Ondas to the south and intersect with Palomar Airport Road to the north. The project would sewer north along Hidden Valley and connect with the east/west mmk line in Canyon de las Encinas. The project site is located within the boundaries of Specific Plan 203 which covers the 640 acre Zone 20 Planning Area. The Final EIR 90-03 for SP 203 addresses the potential environmental impacts associated with the future buildout of the Zone 20 Specific Plan area. Use of the program EIR enables the City to characterize the overall environmental impacts of the specific plan. The Final EIR contains broad, general environmental analysis that serves as an information base to be consulted when ultimately approving subsequent development projects (i.e. tentative maps, site development plans, grading permits, etc...) within the specific plan. The City can avoid having to “reinvent the wheel” with each subsequent development project by analyzing, in the program EIR, the regional influences, secondary effects, cumulative impacts, and broad alternatives associated with buildout of the planning area. The recommended mitigation measures of Final EIR 90-03 will be included as conditions of approval for this project. This subsequent expanded “Initial Study” is intended to supplement the Final EIR and provide more focused and detailed project level analysis of site specific environmental impacts and provide more refined project level mitigation measures as required by Final EIR 90-03. As an example, additional environmental impacts not addressed in EIR 90-03 include riparian impacts created by the alignment of Hidden Valley Road north to Palomar Airport Road and site specific traffic noise impacts. PHYSICAL ENWRONMENT: Development of the site would include 625,000 cubx yards of grading to accommodate building pads, lots, recreation areas, utilities, private driveways, local public streets, two non-loaded collector streets and a circulation element roadway (Alga Road). The proposed grading and development of the project would conform to the Civs Hillside Development Ordinance and manufactured slopes would be land.fonn/contour graded, landscaped, and not exceed 30 feet in height, therefore the alteration of the topography would not be considered a significant physical impact. The preliminary Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc., dated February 6,1989 states that; “the subject property is compatible with the indicated geotechnical conditions and may be developed with conventional cut and fill grading techniques; Considering the dense to medium dense character of the Lindavista Formation and Scripps Formation, liquefaction potential is considered nil”. Erosion control -6- measures including landscapmg on manufactured slopes, adequare drainage facilities, and proper sod compaction would all be conditions of approval for the project and be required by the Engineering Department prior to isSUaXe of the grading permit. Development of the project would create impervious surfaces onsite which reduce absorption rates and increases surface runoff and -off velocities, however, the appropriate drainage facilities would be provided. Drainage from roofs, streets, driveways, slopes, and yards in the project would constitute a potentially sign&ant impact to water quality due to urban pollutant runoff, therefore, mitigation measures will be required to reduce to an insignificant level the amount of contaminants contained in the nuloff. Temporary desiltation basins would be provided within the project in graded pad areas and a permanent basin is proposed west of future Hidden Valley Road, adjacent to En&as Creek at the 67 foot elevation. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant must comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The applicant would be required to provide the best management practices to reduce surface pollutants to an acceptable level prior to discharge to sensitive biological areas. Compliance with this requirement would reduce any water quality impacts to below a level of sign%cance. For a discussion on air quality see Section 3.3 of Final EIR 90-03 for the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203). Final EIR 90-03 identified one archaeological site (Sdi-9478) and no historic sites within the project boundaries. W-9478 is classified in EIR 90-03 as a site that was identified as potentially significant and will require preliminary signifkance evaluation prior to approval of a_ tentative map. The Preliminary Archaeological Analysis For M-9478, prepared by Advanced Sciences, Inc., dated July 10, 1992, indicates that the site can not be located for testing due to dense, high grass cover, and recent extensive agricultural activity in the area. Due to’the extremely disturbed nature of the area it was determined that the site is no longer extent, therefore, Site CA-Sdi-9478 has been determined not significant based on criteria presented in Appendix K of CEQA and no further recommendations for cultural resources impact mitigation are offered. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT: The Biology Section of Final EIR 90-03 provides baseline data at a gross scale due to the large size of the planning area. Given the large number of property owners and their differing development horizons and the inevitable change in biological conditions over the long term buildout of the planning area, it is not possible to mitigate biological impacts from the buildout of the entire specific plan under one comprehensive open space easement that crosses property lines or a habitat revegetation/enhancement plan sponsored solely by the property ownen. Based on the future biological impacts created by individual subsequent development projects, property owners within the planning area will be given several mitigation options that will be based on subsequent and additional site spezific biological suNey and impact analysis. These additional biological studies will consider the baseline data and biological open space recommendations of Final EIR 90-03 and provide more detailed resource surveys plotted at the tentative map scale for each property. The range of the future mitigation options would include preservation of sensitive habitat onsite in conjunction with enhancemenf/revegetation plans, payment of fees into a regional conservation plan, or the purchase and protection of similar habitat offsite. A Biological Technical Report was prepared for the project by Anita Hayworth, Biological Consultant, dated July 1993. This subsequent biological studyis intended to supplement the Final EIR, provide more focused and detailed project level analysis of site specific biological impacts and provide more refined project level mitigation measures as required by Final EIR 90-03. The report indicates that -7- implementation of the projeLL wullld create significant impacts to coastitl sage scrub and riparian habitats, therefore, mitigation measures designed to reduce biological impacts to below a level of significance d be required as part of this environmental document, (see attached conditions). The project site was surveyed for sensitive plant and animal species and no species were observed during the sensitive species survey, including the burrowing owl survey, therefore, significant impacts would not occur to sensitive species. Mitigation proposed in the biology report includes onsite habitat preservation, onsite enhancement/revegetation of habitat, and the option for offsite enhancement/revegetation, purchase and protection of inkind offsite habitat, or the possible payment of fees for a regional conservation plan. The detailed mitigation plans would be i?nalized prior to approval of a fmal map for the project and subject to review and approval by State and Federal resource agencies. The site is currently being utilized for agricultural purposes. It does not contain prime agricultural soils, however, it is located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone (Site II) and the Mello II Local Coastal Program requires mitigation when non-prime coastal agricultural land is converted to urban uses, therefore, compliance with the adopted LCP mitigation would reduce all adverse impacts to an insignificant level. HUMANENVIRONMENT: The project would not alter the planned land use of the site and is consistent with the residential land use designation and density established by the Land Use Element of the Citys General Plan. Portions of the site had been farmed and cultivated for a number of years and there may be a potential for significant impacts to future residents from accumulations of hazardous chemicals in the soil. Based on the Soil Testing for Pesticide Residue Report for Sambi prepared by Pa&c Soils Environmental, dated July 1992, analytical tests on soil sampled did not detect pesticide/herbicide residue. The report states that; “further environmental sampling for pesticide residue in soil appears unwarranted for this property, based on the information available at this time”. The project would increase traffic in the area, however, a Traffic Impact Analysis conducted as part of the Zone 20 Specific Plan and the project indicates that compliance with the circulation requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203), Final EIR 90-03, and the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20 would mitigate any signikant traffic impacts. The project is located within the Zone 20 Local Facilities Management Plan. Public facility impacts and financing have been accounted for in this plan to accommodate the residential development. The residential land use would be consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the project would nor signikantly impact public facilities and planned land uses. Traffic noise from future Alga Road would create a signifkanr impact on homes adjacent to the road, therefore, a noise study was prepared for the project by Robert Kahn, John Rain Associates, Inc., dated February 1992. Noise levels on the project site will not exceed the exterior noise standard of 60 CNEL and the interior noise standard of 45 CNEL, if the recommended mitigation measures recommended in this study are implemented. Sound attenuation walls, berms, or a combination of both would be required along Alga Road to mitigate exterior traffic noise to comply with Planning Department Policy No. 17. If sound attenuation walls are provided along Alga Road, special landscaping @ wall design criteria shall be required to reduce any potential visual impacts the walls may create along the roadway. -8- /&ALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTttCrunTIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECl’ 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) alternate sites for the proposed project, and g) no project alternative. For a discussion on alternatives to the proposed project see Section 8.0 in Final EIR 90-03 for the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203). -9- DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department) x On the basis of this initial evaluation: I f%d the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because the environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction with previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is required. Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared. I 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. I fmd the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

CASE NAME: SAMBI CASE NO: PUD 92-03 WHEREAS, a verified application for certain property to wit: The South Half of the Southeast Quarter and the South 60 acres of the North Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 21, Township 12 South, Range 4 West, San Bernardino Base and Meridian, County of San Diego, State of California, according to United States Government Survey, approved October 25, 1875, according to the Official Plat thereof. 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 15 th day of December, 1993 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 Planned Development Permit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission as follows: A) That the above recitations are true and correct. . . . . - 1 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 Bl That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission recommends APPROVAL of PUD 92-03, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findinns: 1. The project is consistent with the Zone 20 Specific Plan since the RM designation allows the development of low density apartment, condominium, or townhome developments that range in density from 4 to 8 dus/acre with a 6 dus/acre growth management control point. The RLM designation allows single-family homes that range in density from 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre with a 3.2 dus/acre growth control point. The net density in the RLM portion of the project is 9.18 dwelling units per acre and the net density in the RM portion is 4.4 dwelling units per acre. The project contains a combination of an overall net density of 5.8 dus/acre, therefore, the project, exclusive of the density bonus request, is consistent with the growth management dwelling unit allowance for the parcel. 2. The project is consistent with all City public facility policies and ordinances since: The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropriate condition to this project, ensured building permits will not be issued for the project unless the District 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. 3. The project is in compliance with the adopted mitigation measures of Final Environmental Impact Report 90-03 and would not create any additional significant adverse environmental impacts. 4. The applicant is by condition, required to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. 5. This project is consistent with the City’s Growth Management Ordinance as it has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20. 6. School fees will be paid to ensure the availability of school facilities in the Carlsbad Unified School District. PC RESO NO 3592 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. To ensure the availability of school facilities in the Carlsbad Unified School District the applicant will submit evidence to the City that impacts to school facilities will be mitigated in conformance with the City’s Growth Management Plan to the extent permitted by applicable state law for legislative acts. 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. The project complies with all requirements of Chapter 20.12 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The granting of this permit will not adversely affect and will be consistent with Chapter 21.45, the Zone 20 Specific Plan, and all adopted plans of the City and other govemmental agencies. The proposed use is necessary and desirable to provide a Service or facility which will contribute to the long-term general well-being of the neighborhood and the community, because the development of two community facility sites, single-family lots, condominiums, townhomes, and apartments would provide a balance and mix of land uses within the Zone 20 Specific Plan. A majority of the residential development planned for the specific plan area would be standard single-family homes on 7,500 to 10,000 square foot lots. The development of higher density multi-family units in close proximity to natural open space, Poinsettia Community Park, and future Alga Road, in addition to the provision of apartment units affordable to lower income household would create a more diversified and balanced community. Such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, because the project is designed to preserve the coastal sage scrub habitat located along the eastern portion of Area “A”. This open space would connect with the larger open space located in the central canyon. Drainage facilities would be provided concurrent with development of the project to reduce erosion and flooding. All manufactured slopes would be landscaped to prevent erosion and to visually screen the slopes. The proposed planned development meets all of the minimum development standards set forth in Section 21.45090, the design criteria set forth in Section 21.45.080, and has been designed in accordance with the concepts contained in the PC RESO NO 3592 3 1 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 15. 16. 17. _- .- Design Guidelines Manual for the following reasons: a. b. C. d. The local streets in the single-family portion of the project would have curb, gutter, and sidewalks on both sides, and have 36 to 40 feet of paving. This exceeds the 30 foot minimum private street width standard. The project would provide a mixture of one and two-story homes, and the multi-family buildings would have varied roof lines, and a variety of front building elevations and front yard setbacks. Adequate recreational vehicle storage space would be provided within the individual projects and be sufficiently screened from the public right-of-way and surrounding properties. The single-family homes would have, at a minimum two car garages which would meet the parking and storage requirements of the ordinance, and guest parking would be provided on both sides of the streets. The condominiums and townhomes all have two covered parking spaces, including garages and carports for residents, and guest parking is dispersed along the internal driveways. The proposed project is designed to be sensitive to and blend in with the natural topography of the site, and maintains and enhances significant natural resources on the site, because the project meets all the requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations and Guidelines, except the 30 foot slope height standard as permitted per the Site Development Plan. The manufactured slopes would be landscaped, and the single-family lots would terrace down the slope towards the west to conform with the topography. The homes have roof lines that are varied and relate to the topography. In addition, the northeastern comer of the site would be preserved protect the coastal sage habitat and to provide open space in the central canyon. The project’s circulation system is designed to be efficient and well integrated with the project and does not dominate the project the local streets in the project The proposed project’s design and density of the developed portion of the site compatible with surrounding development and does not create a disharmonious disruptive element to the neighborhood.

The project provides affordable housing units that will be available to low income households and the modification to the Hillside Standard for slope height would not have a detrimental effect on public health, safety or welfare because the creation of a 43 foot high manufactured fill slope that exceeds the 30 foot standard does not pose a health and safety problem if the recommendations of the projects’s geotechnical report are adhered to. The slope height standard of 30 feet is an aesthetic regulation intended to mhimize visual impacts created by large manufactured slopes. The overheight slope would be contour graded and adequately landscaped to provide for visual screening, thus, offsetting any visual impacts created by the additional 12 feet of slope height. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation because the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zone 20 Spetic Plan. The project would not have a significant impact on the environment. The proposed residential land uses are compatible in scale, architecture, and building materials with the multi-family residential development to the south the future community park to the west. Public street improvements would be provided to accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with all the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use because the project complies with all City ordinances and polices except for the Hillside Ordinance’s slope height standard as explained in Section C(2) of this report, therefore, the parcel is adequate in size, shape and slope to accommodate the proposed land uses. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained because the project would be conditioned to provide a solid wall or fence, and landscaped windbreaks along the perimeter of any future developable area that abuts property under “open field” cultivation, in order to reduce public nuisance effects of adjacent pesticide spraying and dust generation from farm operations and for the following reasons: Area “B” and “c’ - Single-family Residential: a. Standard R-l Zone iiont, side and rear setbacks would be provided for each home, and all homes would have at least a two-car garages to satisfy off- street parking requirements.

The front yards of all the lots would be landscaped with a minimum of street trees of varying sizes, and the 50 foot setback along Alga Road would be landfoxm graded and heavily landscaped. Area “A” and “D” - Multi-Family Residential And Community Facility Site: a. The bulk and scale of the proposed two-story condominiums, townhouses, and apartment buildings would be compatible with the existing and surrounding residential development to the south. The proposed multi-family townhomes would provide an appropriate transition between the proposed single-family land use to the east and the future community park land use to the west. b. The design of the project would assure a unique mix of residential development, and enhance the aesthetic quality of the area as follows: i. The street setbacks would be landscaped with a combination of trees and shrubs to partially screen the residential structures from the public streets. ii. The building elevations would have textured stucco exteriors and tile and metal roofs, varied roof hues, architectural accent features and building forms, and varied building facades. . . . lu. The dwelling units would be orientated at various angles along the driveways to provide an enclosure of space between the buildings and to provide more visual interest when the project is viewed from the public streets. 12. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use for the following reasons: All the local, collector, and major streets, both within and offsite of this project would be constructed to City standards, have underground utilities, and contain public sidewalks. A pedestrian access is provided between Lots 47 and 48 in Area “c’ to allow access to future Hidden Valley Road and Poinsettia Community Park. Area “B” and “CT - Single-Family Residential: a. PC RESO NO3593 4 Area “A” and “D” - Multi-Family Residential And Community Facility Site: The project would provide adequate onsite parking (498 parking spaces) and circulation to serve the needs of the residents and their guests, and it would not impact the availability of offsite street parking. - - 1 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 b. C. d. e. Conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. . . . . . ..a . . . . Sidewalks and drainage facilities would be provided along the project’s street frontages to serve the project. The proposed 30 to 45 foot wide central private driveways would be adequate to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation, vehicle tum movements, and emergency access. An intemal pedestrian circulation system that is separated hm the driveways within the multi-family projects would be provided and allow sufficient and safe access’to the recreation facility and adjacent public streets. Adequate access for emergency vehicles is provided by the central 30 to 45 foot wide private driveways that service the multi-family projects. The 30 to 45 foot wide driveways are also wide enough to accommodate emergency vehicles, and the project would be conditioned to prohibit parallel parking along the 30 foot wide driveways. The project has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department. All conditions of approval for CT 92-02 as contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 3591 are applicable to this approval and incorporated through this reference.

CASE NAME: SAMBI CASE NO: HDP 92-03 WHEREAS, a verified application 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, pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Code, the Planning Commission did, on the 15th day of December, 1993, consider said request on property -- described as: The South Half of the Southeast Quarter and the South 60 acres of the North Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 21, Township 12 South, Range 4 West, San Bernardino Base and Meridian, County of San Diego, State of California, according to United States Government Survey, approved October 25, 1875, according to the Official Plat thereof. 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 HDP 92-03. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. 1 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 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission recommends APPROVAL of HDP 92-03, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. 2. . . . . That hillside conditions and undevelopable areas of the project have been properly identified because the site’s hillside slope conditions and undevelopable areas have been identified on a slope constraints exhibit. That the development proposal and all applicable development approvals and permits are consistent with the purpose, intent, and requirements of this chapter and that the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrated in the billside development guidelines manual for the following reasons: a. b. C. d. e. f. All manufactured cut and fill slopes are land.form/contour graded and do not exceed a height of 30 feet, except for the 43 foot high slope along the eastern portion of the apartment development in Area “A” per the Site Development Plan. The project’s cut/fill grading volumes of 8,652 cubic yards per graded acre falls within the “potentially acceptable range” of 8,000 - 10,000 cubic yards/acre. Included in these volumes is 86,000 cubic yards of grading for Alga Road which is a circulation element roadway. When grading for Alga Road is subtracted out of the grading calculations, the project’s grading volumes are reduced to 7,773 cubic yards per graded acre and are witbin the “acceptable range”. Landscaping in conformance with the Zone 20 Specific Plan and the City’s Landscape Manual would be provided on all manufactured slopes to assist in visually screening the slopes and to reduce erosion. All structures and roofs witbin the project would be earth tone in color to reduce visual impacts. A percentage of the homes along the north/south trending and gently sloping ridgeline would be one-story in height and all homes would have varying roof lines. The multi-family residential buildings are setback from the top of manufactured slopes from a range of 15 to 60 feet, along the eastern portion of Area “A”. PC RESO NO. 3594 2 1 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 3. That no development or grading will occur in those portions of the property which are undevelopable pursuant to the provisions of Section 2153.230 of this code because all undevelopable areas have been identified and except for Alga Road no development or grading would occur in the areas containing 40%+ slopes. Grading of 40% slopes would be necessary to construct portions of Alga Road. Areas where circulation element roadways must be placed and no feasible alternatives consistent with this chapter are available may be excluded from the requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations by the decision making body based on Section 21.95.090(b)(2) of the ordinance. The alignment of Alga Road in this area was established with the approval of the tentative map for Cobblestone Sea Village (CT 84-32). Analysis of alternatives for Alga Road indicated that due to constraints from the SDG&E powerline easement that traverses-through the main canyon there is no feasible alternative consistent with the Hillside Development Regulations, therefore, the Planning Commission excludes grading for Alga Road from the 40% slope standard. 4. That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside lands because the proposed grading would create single-family building pads that are terraced for views and step down the slope. A majority of the local streets and manufacNed slopes are curving and are aligned to follow the north/south trending contours. The street alignments and curving landform graded slopes would reduce visual impacts created by the grading and help simulate the natural slope conditions. 5. The project is consistent with all City public facility policies and ordinances since: The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropriate condition to this project, ensured building permits will not be issued for the project unless the District 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. 6. The applicant is by condition, required to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. 7. This projecr is consistent with the City’s Growth Management Ordinance as it has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20.

School fees will be paid to ensure the availability of school facilities in the Carlsbad Unified District. 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.

RECESS The Planning Commission recessed at 6:58 and reconvened at 7:03 p.m. 2. CT 92-02/PUD 92-03/SDP 92-06/HDP 92-03 - SAMBI - Request for recommendation of approval for a Conditional Negative Declaration, a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan, and Hillside Development Permit to subdivide 129 single-family lots, subdivide and construct 76 townhomes and 72 condominium units, construct 72 apartment units, and designate two future community facility sites, all on property generally located east of Paseo del Norte, north of Cainino de las Ondas, and south of Palomar Airport Road, in the RD-M-Q Zone and R-l -10,000-Q Zone in Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. Jeff Gibson, Associate Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that the applicant is requesting approval to subdivide 129 single family lots, construct 76 townhomes, 72 condominium units, 72 apartment units, and designate two future community facility sites, all on property located east of Paseo del Norte and north of Camino de las Ondas. The parcel is located in the coastal zone and totals 68.5 gross acres and is undeveloped. The majority of the site is under agricultural cultivation. Access to the project would be provided by the northern extension of Alga Road from its current intersection at Poinsettia Lane. In addition, access would be provided from future Hidden Valley Road, which would extend from Camino de las Ondas north along the project’s western boundary and connect with Palomar Airport Road to the north. The applicant is processing a Vesting Tentative Map. State law and local ordinance Title 20 stipulates that the approval’bf a Vesting Tentative Map confers a vested right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the project application was deemed complete. However, Title 20 does state that the amount of any fees which are required to be paid as either conditions of approval or by operation of any law, shall be determined at the time the fee is paid. Therefore, the amount of fees are not vested upon approval of the Vesting Tentative Map. The project is subject to the requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan and EIR 90-30 which was approved by the City Council on December 7, 1993. In addition, the City Council, as part of the Zone 20 approval, approved a new school facilities mitigation condition set forth in slaff memo dated December 15. 1993. Mr. Gibson moved to the west wall and reviewed the maps which show the exact location of the project and the various roadways in and around the site. Commissioner Erwin requested the Deputy City Attorney to educate the Commission regarding a Vesting Tentative Map, including the positive and negative aspects. Ms. Hirata stated that the Commission could not vote yes or no based on the fact that it is a Vesting Tentative Map because the applicant has a right /P MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION December 15, 1993 PAGE 9 under state law to apply for this map. It is not like a development agreement, where the City would have a choice. The legislature has decided to give developers a method to ensure that their rights are basically frozen in time because there is always a question as to when rights vest. The legislature stated that cities should pass an ordinance to give them procedures and tell them how to apply. If they follow those procedures and it comes forward, it can’t be rejected on the basis that it is a Vesting Tentative Map. It can only be approved or rejected on the basis of whether or not they have complied with the ordinances, policies, and procedures in effect at the time the application was complete, which is basically the same rule for a regular tentative map. The difference here is that when this is approved, the ordinance, policies, and standards in effect at the time they completed their application will apply then to any other discretionary approvals relating to this project that go forward after tonight, up to one year after the final map, is approved. In other words, if they have some actions after this, they would also be affected. It doesn’t mean that these other actions would have to be approved, only that the Commission would have to look at them at a frozen point in time. Commissioner Erwin referred to Resolution No. 3594, page 3, Finding #6. He inquired if this finding is in conflict with the vesting. Ms. Hirata replied that it is not because, basically, whatever ordinances are in place at the time the application is complete state that public facilities have to be available to serve any development that is approved. That is the general rule. At the time they go torward and pull their building permits and the project actually becomes a reality, that is the time when some of these fees will be determined. Those costs cannot be determined at this time. The rule is there but we just don’t know the amount they will have to pay. So, actually, they are complying with the ordinance in effect now, even though it doesn’t specify an amount. Commissioner Erwin inquired if these fees will be determined at the time of final map. Ms. Hirata replied that many of the fees will be determined as the building permits are pulled. The applicant is committed to the fees in effect at this time. They would not be subject to any new fees which are created. Commissioner Erwin stated that he understood that two-car garages would be provided in Areas “D”“C” and “B” and that the only place to have carports would be in Area “A”. Mr. Gibson replied that the apartments in Area “A” will have carports and there will also be some carports in the condominium section. Our minimum requirement for apartments is open parking. In a planned development, where the units are owned, covered parking is required. Commissioner Erwin inquired if all of Area “A” will be rental. Mr. Gibson replied that 72 units in Area “A” will be rental and the other 72 units will be condominiums. The area is split in half into two separate lots. Commissioner Erwin inquired how many condominiums will have carports. Mr. Gibson deferred comment to the applicant. Chairman Noble opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak Don Agatep, 2956 Roosevelt, Carlsbad, representing the applicant, addressed the Commission and responded to Commissioner Erwin’s inquiry regarding the number of carports for the condominiums in Area “A”. He stated that there is one garage and one carport for each condominium unit. Most of the guest parking is uncovered. Mr. Agalep addressed the issue of the Vesting Tentative Map and stated that the reason Sambi decided to proceed with a Vesting Tentative Map is that it allows them to process the complete improvement and grading plans concurrent with review of the Tentative Map. Once this process is complete, they would be ready to record the map once the final map is submitted. It compresses time and saves them about one year in processing. They have attempted to provide for all product types as well as community facilities. He thinks the plan is a good one and he urged the Commission to approve it. lm MINUTES PLANNfNG COMMISSION December 15, 1993 PAGE 10 Commissioner Welshons is interested in the swimming pools. Does the Vesting Tentative Map specify the size of the pools. Mr. Agatep replied that the sizes of the pools have not yet been determined. At this point, they are pretty much diagrammatic. Those facilities would be approved by the Planning Director at the time building permits are pulled. Commissioner Welshons commented that a hole in the ground with wafer in it does not serve the purpose of a swimming pool. She wants to make sure that it is designed correctly. Mr. Agatep agreed. Because this is primarily a lot sale project, Mr. Agatep requested that Condition #33, Resolution No. 3591, page 8, be modified to state that the Site Development Plan shall be approved by the Planning Director. There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Noble declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Commissioner Hall inquired if Condition #33 can be modified as requested by Mr. Agatep. Mr. Wayne replied that it depends on whether or not the Commission wants to be involved in the design or whether they would be willing to delegate that to the Planning Director. It has been done both ways in the past. Aviara has a similar requirement for SDP‘s on lot sales. The Planning Director has the authority to make that decision. If the Planning Director feels there is any question, it would come to the Planning Commission under appeal. Chairman Noble could accept approval by the Planning Director. Commissioner Schlehuber agrees. ACTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Hall, and duly seconded, to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 3590 recommending approval of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and adopt Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 3591, 3592,3593, and 3594, recommending approval of CT 92-02, PUD 92-03, SDP 92-06, and HDP 92-03, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, including the changes requested by staff memo dated December 15, 1993, and a change to Condition #33 (Resolution #3591) to allow approval by the Planning Director of the Site Development Plans for Areas “B” and “C.” VOTE: 6-l AYES: Chairman Noble, Commissioners Betz, Hall, Savary, Schlehuber and Welshons NOES: Commissioner Erwin ABSTAIN: None ” Commissioner Erwin stated for the record that he voted no because of the carports which had been proposed. Commissioner Schlehuber hopes that the maps will show the two community sites as potential church and daycare sites. He thinks it is important for luture property owners to know that a church or daycare center could be placed on those sites, and they could result in traffic, etc. Mr. Gibson replied that this will be indicated on the map. In addition, any dedications of major roadways will also be shown. There is also a condition of approval that the applicant create a process to notify surrounding properties that this use has been proposed in this location. ADDED ITEMS AND REPORTS: Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, announced that at the City Council meeting on December 14, 1993 they had overturned the Planning Commission approval for a U. S. West Cellular antennae at Chase Field. The project was denied without prejudice on a vote of 3-l. / -- OF CARLSBAD - AG-” , BILL G & I AD Y 19 /,; w2 6 TITLE: APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL NEGATIVE ‘MOW ‘R. .

On January 13, 1994 the Housing z Commission reviewed the affordable housing components of the project and unanimously E a recommended (8-O) that the City Council approve the project. 2 w The applicant is processing a vesting tentative map which is different from a tentative map. When 0 a local agency, such as the City, approves a vesting tentative map, State law and local ordinance ul u (Title 20) stipulates that the approval of the map confers a vested right to proceed with the 5 development in substantial compliance with the local ordinances, policies, and standards in effect 9 at the time the application was deemed complete. It is a vested guarantee that if an ordinance or 51 a standard changes before the vesting tentative map is finaled or building permits issued, the project E would not be subject to the new requirements. The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map m extend for only two years beyond the recording of the final map. Where several final maps are $ recorded on various phases of a project the time period begins for each phase when the final map &I a for that phase is recorded. This project would propose to final maps in four (4) separate phases. The project is located on a 68 acre parcel north of Camino de las Ondas and directly east of the future Poinsettia Community Park. Access to the property would be provided by future Hidden Valley Road (non-loaded collector road) leading north from Camino de la Ondas, and future Alga Road (major road). The project would consist of 129 single-family lots that range in sire from 7,500 to 28,300 square feet, 76 two-story townhomes with attached two-car garages, 72 two-story condominium units, 72 two-story apartment units, and 2 community facility sites. A majority of the project would feature contemporary architecture consisting of Spanish tile roofs with varying roof lines, and stucco exteriors. Area “D” in the far western portion of the site would contain townhomes with contemporary architecture and metal seamed roofs to be more compatiile with the architecture and materials proposed for the buildings in future Poinsettia Community Park located directly west of the project site. The applicant is requesting an 11.8% density bonus (36.8 dwelling units above the density allowed by the growth control point) to provide affordable housing, therefore, per the requirements of the City’s recently adopted Inclusionaty Housing and Density Bonus Ordinances, 20% of the proposed dwelling units (or 63 affordable units), must be provided for lower income households. The developer is proposing to provide those affordable dwelling units as rental units within the apartment portion of the project. The applicant proposes 63 of the total 73 apartment units to be affordable to households at 80% of the county median income. The Housing Commission, after considering all factors related to the affordable housing project 0 approved a recommendation to the City Council to approve the affordable housing project containing 63 apartment units to be affordable to low income households for a period of at least fifty-five (55) years. No financial assistance was requested for the project. Recommendation pi+/ PAGE~OFAGENU- LLNO. /‘; (;.a? the project was granted by the Housing Commission with the condition that an acceptable schedule for construction of the required ratio of restricted units be developed by the applicant. The schedule must indicate acceptable construction phasing for the affordable units in relation to the construction of the market rate units. Following Council approval of the proposed project and prior to the first final map approval, the applicant must enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City. More detailed information is included in the attached staff report to the Planning,Commission and the Housing Commission. There was no public testimony presented to the Planning Commission. Planning Commissioner Erwin was concerned that the condominium and apartment units should have two-car garages rather than carports or one-car garages and, therefore, voted against approval of the project. The project complies with Title 21 because the Planned Development Ordinance (Chapter 21.45) only requires two covered spaces per dwelling unit for condominiums and uncovered parking is permitted for apartments. The proposed condominium units would have a one car garage and carport per dwelling unit. The project is in compliance with all adopted local land use plans, ordinances, and policies and is consistent with the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program. ENVIRONMENTALREVIEW The project site is located within the boundaries of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203) which covers the 640 acre Zone 20 planning area. The direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts from the future development of the Zone 20 planning area have been discussed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR 90-03) for the specific plan The recommended and applicable mitigation measures of Final EIR 90-03 would be included as conditions of approval for this project. Per the requirements of Final EIR 90-03 additional project specific environmental studies, including biological analysis, have been prepared. These studies provide more focused and detailed project level analysis and indicate that additional environmental impacts beyond what was analyzed in Final EIR 90-03 would result from implementation of the project. Per the recommendations of Final EIR 90-03 a Conditional Negative Declaration was issued for this project to evaluate the additional environmental impacts to coastal sage scrub and riparian habitats created by onsite development and the alignment of Hidden Valley Road north to Palomar Airport Road. The Planning Director and Planning Commission have determined that the project could have a significant effect on the environment, however, there would not be a significant effect in this case since the mitigation measures described in the attached initial study have been added to the project. This decision was based on findings of the Environmental Assessment Part II, biological resource impact studies, a geotechnical report, acoustical study, traffic report, and a field surveys by staff. A Conditional Negative Declaration was issued by the Planning Director on August 5, 1993. FISCAL IMPACT As discussed in the Zone 20 Local Facilities Management Plan, ail major capital facilities will be funded by the developer of this project. A financing plan that comprehensively addresses the provision of public facilities within the facility zone has been approved by the City Council. The applicant intends to privately finance the construction of the 63 affordable apartment units and is not requesting financial assistance from the City.

EXHIBIT 5 CT 92-02(A)/PUD 92-03(AVSDP 92-06(AVHDP 92-03(A) - SAM81 SEASIDE HEIGHTS - Request for recommendation of approval for a revised Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Planned Development Permit, Site Development Plan and Hillside Development Permit to subdivide 137 standard single-family lots, subdivide and construct 98 townhomes on small lots, construct 42 “ownership” postage stamp lot townhomes designated as affordable to lower- income households, and designate 1 future community facility site along Hidden Valley Road, MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION August 21, 1996 Page 6 all on property generally located east of Paseo Del Norte, north of Camino de las Ondas, and south of Palomar Airport Road, in the RD-M-Q Zone and R-1-10,000-Q Zone in Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 20. Chairman Compas announced to the applicant, Commissioners and the public that this item, if approved, wilt be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration. Project Planner Jeff Gibson presented slides so as to visually indicate the exact location of the development site and the various locations of homes, park and other facilities. Mr. Gibson gave a brief history of the SAMBI SEASIDE HEIGHTS project and pointed out that the project has been significantly re-designed and the changes to the project have resulted in the need for the project to be re-evaluated by the city and once again reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The project changes were summarized, including street re-alignments and photos presented of views, future community facilities locations, schools, streets and preserved natural wildlife habitats. Commissioner Savary asked if the children would be allowed to ride bicycles on the public access way, between a local public street and the school and was assured that they would. Commissioner Heineman pointed out the fact that Mr. Gibson had been referring to some residence structures as “townhomes” when in fact they are “twin homes”. Mr. Gibson thanked the Commissioner and agreed with the correction of his terminology. Chairman Compas invited the applicant to speak. Nicholas Banche, Attorney at Law, 715 Pier View Way, Oceanside, CA., appearing on behalf of applicant Toyohara of America, Inc., highlighted some factors he considers deserving of the Commission’s support of the project, after which he introduced Mr. Kazuyuki Kawakita, President of Toyohara of America, Inc., Mr. Kazuyuki Kawakita, President of Toyohara of America, Inc., 8649 Firestone Blvd., Downey, CA (office), home address is 11432 Hanover Ct., Cerritos, CA., accepted all conditions set forth and offered to answer any questions the Commission may have. Commissioner Nielsen inquired as to whether Mr. Kawakita expected to have much trouble selling the owner occupied or affordable housing units. Mr. Kawakita’s reply was that he really doesn’t know, at this time. However, the price will be so affordable that he doubts there will be many problems with sales. Commissioner Nielsen also asked when the project would be completed and if it would be done in phases. Mr. Kawakita explained that the project would be done in four (4) phases. Commissioner Savary asked for an idea of the range of prices of the affordable townhouses and was given a price range of $85,000 to $120,000 for two and three bedroom units. Chairman Compas then asked for Mr. Kawakita’s best guess as to when the project would commence and Mr. Kawakita stated that he hoped they could begin the first phase in January or February, 1997 and possibly begin the affordable housing phase by May or June, 1997. Seeing no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Compas closed public testimony and opened Commission discussion. Commissioner Noble expressed his appreciation for this revised plan by pointing out several highlights of the MINUTES /9a PLANNlNG COMMISSION August 21,1996 Page 7 plan and concluded by voicing his full support for the project. Commissioner Nielsen agreed with Commissioner Noble’s assessment of the revised project, also gave his full support and concluded with the comment that he would surely like to see this project come to fruition where so many others have quietly fallen out of sight. He also wished the developer well in his efforts. Commissioner Monroy expressed his pleasure in supporting the SAM61 SEASIDE HEIGHTS project by stating that, in his estimation, this is the first project that attempts to meet the inclusionary housing element objectives and he has no problem supporting it. He also made it a point to tell the developer that he should be quite proud of what they are proposing. Commissioner Welshons expressed her concern for the problems that have seemed to plague this project and went on to wish Mr. Kawakita and his organization good fortune in the future. Assistant Planning Director Gary Wayne informed the Commission of some necessary changes in Resolution No. 3977 (global) and in all resolutions following, in one specific way: First: Second: Continually reference the project as a Vesting Tentative Map revision - i.e., all places where the project is referred to as a “Tentative Map”, it will be referred to as a “Vesting Tentative Map”. (Global) Findings for the Environmental Review - In the Discussion and the Staff Report there was the reference to the MEIR for the General Plan Update. We’re incorporating that and would like to include that incorporation in the required findings for the Environmental Documents. Page 2 of #3977 - under Findings: #l .c - there was a Final EIR certified in connection with the prior approved Specific Plan 203 (EIR 93-03), The General Plan Update EIR (MEIR 93-01) and a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved for CT 92-02; The same change applies to #2 - The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the certified Final EIR 93-03. The General Plan Update EIR (MEIR 93-01) and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for CT 92-02 which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project. Chairman Compas asked if the applicant might have a problem with the above changes and was assured by Counsel that the changes would not have any affect on the applicant. ACTION: VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: Motion made by Commissioner Nielsen, and duly seconded, to adopt amended Planning Commission Resolutions No. 3977, 3978, 3979, and 3980 recommending approval of CT 92-02(A), PUD 92-03(A), SDP’ 92-06(A) and HDP 92-03(A), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. 7-o Compas, Heineman, Monroy, Nielsen, Noble, Savary and Welshons None None October 18, 1996 Toyohara America Inc. 8641 Firestone Boulevard Downey, CA 90241 Re: Approval of Vesting Tentative Map - CT 92-2(A) The Carlsbad City Council, at its meeting of October 1, 1996, adopted Resolution No. 96-321, approving CT 92-2(A), PUD 92-3(A), SDP 92-6(A), and HDP 92-3(A), as recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
