APPROVING SP 190 (B) and Z( ITEM EXPLANATION: The Terraces at Sunny Creek project is a request for approval of a number of legislative act quasi-judicial permits to enable the subdivision of a 39.9 acre parcel, located to the north ( Camino Real and College Boulevard intersection, into 172 single family lots, a multi-family I open space lots and the development of 172 market rate single family homes, 50 ai apartments, and 28 second dwelling units. The project also includes the mass gradir adjacent 17.6 acre commercial site across future College Boulevard and its use for the st recreational vehicles per the requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance. The I Commission was the final decisionmaker for three Special Use Permits; one of which development along the El Camino Real Corridor, while the other two were to allow rai: development out of the floodplain. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this project to the City Council with a (Nielsen, Savary, Welshons). The issues expressed by the Commissioners not suppor project included: 1) that the project did not exceed the minimal development standard: Planned Development Ordinance, 2) concerns about the project's appearance from El Camii 3) intensity of development and recreational facilities, 4) grading and landform modification, ! access cul-de-sac design, 6) the lack of school facilities within the immediate project vic concern regarding the proposed General Plan Amendment from commercial/office/resideni density to residential, and 8) the proposed architectural design of the apartment buildings. With their recommendation of approval, the Planning Commission amended the project to the Homeowner's Association to maintain all slopes, front yards, and common areas and I within the Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions governing the Association, the addition c recreational facilities on the open space lot between the apartments and the single family and at the terminus of C and D streets, and the addition of an access trail from the projec will require the relocation of lot lines adjacent to College Boulevard and the addition of new 1 for the active recreation lots. The staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval of the project based facts that the property is a good location for residential uses because of its proximity to ; community commercial center, employment opportunities in the adjacent industrial parks prime arterial while providing 30% of the proposed units as affordable housing with the rei projected to be housing in the moderate income range. More detailed information is includec attached staff report to the Planning Commission which indicates that all development sts have been met with the design of this project. t TERRACES AT SUNNY CREEK - EIR 98-OIIGPA 96-011 ZC 96-011SP 19O(B)ILFMP 87-15(B)/CT 96-021 - SDP 97-021PUD 96-021HDP 96-02 intersection of El Camino Real and College Boulevard on Lot 33.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Environmental Impact Report was processed addressing all necessary discretionary a needed to develop the project. The report was found by staff and the Planning Commissior been prepared in compliance with State and City regulations. The project will result in si1 unmitigated impacts to cumulative air quality and traffic. Overriding considerations are prop adoption for these two impacts and are contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 4; FISCAL IMPACT: As discussed in the Zone 15 Local Facilities Management Plan amendment, all requirec improvements are to be funded by development within the Zone. The attached report fron Planning and Economics indicates that for this project, general fund expenditures will would generate general fund revenues. The report has been reviewed by the Finance Dep; The estimated shortfall in general fund revenues associated with this project is largely du high percentage (31.2%) affordable housing within the project.

Code Regs. §I 5091) require that no public agen approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or mc significant effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings f each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale of each findir The possible findings, which must be supported by substantial evidence in the record, are: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the projt which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment (hereafter, "Finding 1 Changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of mot€ public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that other agency (hereaft "Finding 2"). (2) (3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other consideration including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trainc workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the El (hereafter, "Finding 3"). For those significant effects that cannot be mitigated to below a level of significanc the public agency is required to find that specific overriding economic, legal, social, technologic, or other benefits of the project outweigh the significant effects on the environment. The Final EIR identifies significant or potentially significant environmental effec prior to mitigation, that may occur as a result of the proposed Terraces at Sunny Creek Project ("t project"). In accordance with the provisions of CEQA and the Guidelines, the City of Carlsbad ('It City" or "decision makers") adopts these findings as part of its certification of the Final EIR for t. project. 1.2 ORGANIZATION/FORMAT OF FINDINGS In compliance with the statutory requirements, these CEQA findings are organizc as follows: 2 Final EIR for the Terra1 .at Sunny Creek Proj a CEQA Findings c Statement of Overriding Consideratic a (1) (2) Significant effects that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance; Effects which were determined to be mitigated to below a level significance; (3) Significant cumulative effects; and (4) Feasibility of project alternatives. 1.3 LEGAL EFFECT OF FINDINGS To the extent these findings determine that proposed mitigation measures identifi in the Final EIR are feasible and have not been modified, superseded or withdrawn, the City here binds itself and any other responsible parties, including the applicant and its successors-in-interc (hereafter "applicant"), to the implementation of those measures. The findings,'then, are not men informational or advisory, but constitute binding conditions that will take effect when the C adopts the resolution(s) approving the project, certifying the Final EIR and adopting the Mitigati Monitoring Plan. 1.4 MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN As required by Public Resources Code 52 1 08 1.6, the City, in adopting these findin; also adopts a Mitigation Monitoring Plan as prepared by the environmental consultant under t' City's direction. This Plan is designed to ensure that, during project implementation, the applica and any other responsible parties, will comply with the adopted mitigation measures summarizl below. The City hereby finds that the Mitigation Monitoring Plan, which is incorporated 1 reference and attached as Exhibit 1 to these findings, meets the requirements of Public Resourc Code §2 108 1.6 by providing for the implementation and monitoring of project conditions intend to mitigate potential environmental effects of the project. 1.5 SECTION 21082.1(~)(3) FINDINGS Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21082.1(~)(3), the City hereby finds that t Final EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City as the lead agency. 3 Final EIR for the Terra at Sunny Creek Proj e CEQA Fzndmngs Statement of Overriding Considerat e 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION The Final EIR prepared for the project addressed the potential environmental e6 of developing approximately 59 acres of land located in the northeastern portion of the Citj Carlsbad. The property site is bounded by El Camino Real to the south. Agua Hedionda Cree immediately north of the property site. College Boulevard, which presently ends at the El Cam Real intersection immediately south of the project area, would be extended northerly across property site as part of the project (ie., the College Boulevard Extension). The project site was originally a portion of the Kelly Ranch. The property was UI for cattle grazing until the 1920s. The property site has been used for farming since that time. 1 Plan. subject property is part of a previously approved project known as the Sycamore Creek Spec: The current project area involves two parcels: a 39.9 gross-acre parcel planned single-family residential uses (37.8 gross-acres) as well as multi-family affordable housing uses ( gross-acres); and a 19-acre commercial parcel located west of the proposed College Boulev Extension. Only the single-family and multi-family residential parcel would be developed as I of the project. The commercial parcel is considered a related project because, while it has its o final map, it would be graded at the same time as the proposed Terraces project. The comer( parcel is slated for development later this year, independent of the proposed Terraces project, a would require a separate Site Development Plan. In addition, two off-site parcels have been examined in conjunction with 1 proposed project: The Future South Agua Hedionda Trunk Sewer improvement areas located e and west of the project area and a two-acre parcel that was studied as part of the biological mitigat! land for the project. The off-site sewer connections are shown in the Draft EIR, Section 5.2, Fig1 5.2-1. The biological mitigation site is located adjacent to the project along the Agua Hedior Creek drainage, and is discussed in the Draft EIR, Section 5.4, and shown in Figure 5.4-3. The project application includes an amendment to the City of Carlsbad General P Land Use Element Map, with a corresponding Zone Change for the property, a Specific P Amendment, a Tentative Tract Map and three Special Use Permits. The project would requir Planned Unit Development Permit, a Hillside Development Permit, a Local Facilities Managemi Plan Amendment, a Site Development Plan and an Interim Coastal Sage Scrub Loss Permi Specifically, the project would require the following discretionary approvals: General PZan Amendment. The current General Plan Land Use designations of the property are Residential High Density (RH)/Office and Related Commercial (O)/Community Commercial (C) for the 39.9 net acre proposed 4 Final EiR for the Tern at Sunny Creek Pro CEQA Findings i Statement of Overriding Considerati 0 e single-family development and multi-family affordable housing parcel. The proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA) designation for the single-family and multi-family affordable housing parcel is Residential Medium Density ouvr>* Zone Change. The single-family residential and multi-family affordable housing parcel is currently zoned Office (0), General Commercial (C-2), and Limited Control (L-C); the project proposes a zone change to Residential Density Multiple (RDM). These zone changes would be consistent with the proposed General Plan designations. Specific Plan Amendment. The subject property is part of a previously approved project, the Sycamore Creek Specific Plan. The Specific Plan Amendment is required to delete the land from this prior plan, concurrent with approval of the new tentative tract map. Tentative Tract Map. The project would develop The Terraces, a gated development with 172 single-family detached homes and 28 affordable efficiency units, and 50 affordable multi-family residential units. The latter units would be developed in accordance with the City's Second Units Ordinance and, in concert with the 28 efficiency units, would fulfill the project's affordable housing requirement. The Terraces is proposed to be developed in 12 phases. Special Use Permits. Three Special Use Permits would be part of this project. Two Special Use Permits, one for the commercial parcel and one for the residential parcel, would be required to allow development within an area of special flood hazards (100 year floodplain) as required by Section 21.1 10.130 of the City's Municipal Code. The other Special Use Permit would be required to allow the project to develop within the El Camino Real Scenic Corridor (Section 21.40.040, Carlsbad Municipal Code). Planned Unit Development Permit. A Planned Unit Development Permit is required because the project proposes some lot sizes less than 7,500 square feet (1 18 out of a total of 172 lots are applicable; Lots 1-12, 14-1 9,22,24-34, 150, 152-157, 161-172), and because circulation through the project would be via private streets. HiZlside Development Permit. The city's Hillside Development Regulations (Chapter 21.95 Carlsbad Municipal Code) are applied to all residential development projects on properties where a natural slope gradient of 15 38,39,54-58,60,77-91,93-102, 104-1 16, 118-123, 126-127, 129-130,135- 5 Final EIR for the Terr at Sunny Creek Prc e CEQA Findings 1 Statement of Overriding Considerati e percent or greater and a slope height greater than 15 feet is found. A Hillside Development Permit is required on properties that meet these criteria. A portion of the project area has applicable slope gradients and heights, necessitating this permit. Local Facilities Management PIan Amendment. The City's Growth Management Plan divides the City into 25 Local Facilities Management Zones. In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2 1.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) analyzes the adequacy of public facilities, and mandates conditions to ensure that public facilities conform to adopted performance standards. It also provides phasing schedules and finance methods for facilities funding. The project, which is located in Zone 15 of the LFMP, has an existing approved plan for office development (0); a LFMP amendment is required because the project would change the development to residential (RM and RH). Site Development Plan. All affordable housing developments in the City of Carlsbad are required to file a Site Development Plan (21.53,120, Carlsbad Municipal Code). A Site Development Plan for the project is necessary because 50 affordable units are proposed and because the multi-family component exceeds the City's Growth Management Control Point requirements. Interim Coastal Sage Scrub Loss Permit. This permit is required under the provisions of the Interim Rule 4(d) implementing ordinance of the City of Carlsbad, because the applicant proposes to grade coastal sage scrub habitat, an action which is regulated due to the listing of the California gnatcatcher. Since the circulation of the Draft EIR, the project design has been refined to reflect tl deletion of property belonging to the adjoining property owner, Rancho Carlsbad, which had bec added to the project footprint. In addition, impacts to the riparian woodlands adjoining tl affordable housing were reduced by moving one of the buildings to the south. Finally, a four-fo (4-foot) concrete block wall has been added to pull back the grading along Lots 161 -1 65. As a result, overall impacts are reduced to riparian woodlands along Agua Hedionda Cree The riparian revegetation mitigation area shown on the revised Figure 5.4-3 has also been chang due to the deletion of Rancho Carlsbad's property. The riparian revegetation mitigation area lost the western end of the project has been added to the area on the northern side of Agua Hedionc Creek. 6 Final EIR for the Terrac at Sunny Creek Projc 0 CEQA Findings L Statement of Overriding Consideratic 0 2.2 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS For the purposes of CEQA and the findings set forth below, the admmstrative recc of the City's decision on the environmental analysis of this project shall consist of the followin1 The Draft and Final EIR for the project, including appendices and All reports, applications, memoranda, maps, letters and other planning technical reports; documents prepared by the project engineering and design consultants, the environmental consultant and the City of Carlsbad that are before the decision makers as determined by the City Clerk; All documents submitted by members of the public and public Minutes of all workshops, public meetings and public hearings held Any documentary or other evidence submitted at workshops, public Matters of common knowledge to the City of Carlsbad which they agencies in connection with the EIR on the project; by the City of Carlsbad; meetings and public hearings; and consider, including but not limited to, the following: Carlsbad General Plan; Local Coastal Program. 0 Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance; Local Facilities Management Plan; and 3.0 SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS THAT CANNOT BE MITIGATED TO A LEVEL OF INSIGNIFICANCE Having reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR, the relate documents and the record of proceedings, the City finds that all of the direct and indirect significa effects associated with the project have been mitigated to below a level of significance. Howeve the project, if constructed, would contribute to significant cumulative impacts with respect to a quality and traffic. These significant cumulative impacts are addressed in Section 5.0, below. 7 Final EIRfor the Terrae at Sunny Creek Proje ) 0 CEQA Findings a Statement of Overriding Consideratic e 4.0 EFFECTS DETERMINED TO BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE 4.1 SOILS AND GEOLOGY 4.1.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: The project would include grading of 59.4 acres (5; acres on-site and 2 acres off-site, which are necessary for sump remediation), involvi approximately 621,870 cubic yards of cut and 553,882 cubic yards of fill. Cut material would exported to the commercial parcel west of the extension of College Boulevard. Some features oft Point Loma formation (fiacturehedding patterns, claystone portions) may result in impacts if presr in or near the face of slopes. This formation lies above and in places intrudes into the Lusa~ Formation on the single-family residential parcel. Impacts could occur with project implementati in the form of accelerated erosion or damage to homes and streets. The Holocene-age alluvidcolluvial deposits on the property 2 unconsolidated, and are usually not suitable for the support of structures or to receive fill. This COI cause impacts in the form of damage to proposed homes and streets on the residential parcels, as w as structures on the commercial parcel. Expansive soils could result in impacts in the form of damage to propos homes, streets, and commercial buildings. 4.1.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. 4.1.3 Facts In Support Of Finding: The significant effects identified in the Fir EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of the following feasil mitigation measures: Continuous observation by the soil technician and periodic observations by the Engineering Geologist and Geotechnical Engineer during mass grading to confrm anticipated conditions, to allow adjustments in design criteria, and to ensure grading follows the incorporated measures. 0 All areas to be graded shall be cleared and grubbed. Present structures shall be properly demolished, including any old In areas to receive fill or improvements, the topsoil, subsoil, and 0 utility services. 0 younger alluvial deposits shall be removed. The amount and depth of removal shall be determined with the Project Geologist. 8 Final EIR for the Tern at Sunny Creek Prc a CEQA Findings or Statement of Overriding Conrideratio e 0 The existing road fill along the north side of El Camino Real shall be removed to the maximum extent practical and shall be replaced as compacted fill. The amount of fill removed shall be dependent on safety considerations and/or utility and roadway improvements that cannot be disturbed. As a minimum, all fill north of an imaginary line extending from the top edge of the slope at an inclination of 1.5: 1 should be removed, and the remaining fill should be benched into at minimum vertical intervals of 2 feet as the new fill is placed. 0 Prior to replacing any excavated soils and/or fill over competent ground, the exposed soils shall be sacrificed to a depth of 12 inches, moisture-conditioned, and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. 0 Canyon subdrains shall be constructed in drainage courses'to be filled. All subdrains shall discharge into the storm-drain system or into natural drainage swales. 0 Fill shall be benched into all temporary slopes and into competent natural soils when the natural slope is steeper than 5: 1 vertical to horizontal. Keys shall be constructed at the toe of all fill slopes. 0 If transitions between cut and fill arterial fall within a building pad, the cut portion of the pad shall be over-excavated. 0 Detrimentally expansive soils shall not be placed within 4 feet of finish pad grade or within 15 feet of the face of a fill slope. In cut areas, such soils shall be removed from within 4 feet of pad grade and replaced. All grading and fill placement shall be performed in accordance with the Ci of Carlsbads Grading Ordinance, the Uniform building Code, and the recommendations of tk geotechnical report and its appendices. 4.2 HYDROLOGY 4.2.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: The introduction of roadways, driveways and housc would increase the amount of runoff during rainstorms. The introduction of vehicular traffic ar parking would introduce petroleum products into the runoff, with the great majority in the runoff ( the first storm of the season. These pollutants can impact water quality. Discontinuation ( agriculture would eliminate the associated uses of any herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and simil substances.

Standard temporary slope erosion measures shall be used as appropriate, including use of sandbags and silt fences. Several measures to control erosion have been listed and detailed in Section 5.1, Soils and Geology, and further detailed in Appendix B. These include: exposed soils shall be moisture-conditioned and compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction; subdrains shall discharge into the storm drain system or natural drainage swales; when appropriate, fill shall be benched into temporary slopes and into competent natural soils; and keys shall be constructed at the toe of all fill slopes. . The design of all three storm drain outlets shall include discharge into a stretch of riprap to eliminate erosion in the outlet, and to prevent an increase of sediment into the creek. 0 All grading and fill placement shall be performed in accordance with the City of Carlsbad's Grading Ordinance, the Uniform Building Code, and the recommendations of the geotechnical report and its appendices. 0 The Grading Plan calls for the entire site to be graded at one time. This allows erosion control measures to be done as an entity, rather than piecemeal. 10 Final EIR for the Terrc; at Sunny Creek Prq 0 CEQA Findings c Statement of Overriding Consideratic 0 A Landscape Plan has been developed for the project area. vegetation shall reduce erosion and sedimentation, An NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Plan The would be required, and must be approved prior to grading.

The NPDES Plan would incorporate Best Management Practices, based on the state-of-the-art at the time of preparation. 4.3 AIRQUALITY 4.3.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: Mobil SourcesNehicular Trafic. The project, assumed to be developed o\ a three-year period, would generate approximately 246 pounds of CO, 13 pounds of ROC, 12 poun of NO,, and less than 1 pound of PM,, daily during the project's initial year of operation, 1998. total of approximately 444 pounds of CO, 25 pounds of ROC, 23 pounds of NO,, and less than pound of PM,, would be generated daily during the project's second year of operation, 1999; and 5' pounds of CO, 33 pounds of ROC, 32 pounds of NO,, and less than 1 pound of PM,, would generated daily at project completion. The related commercial project would generate 1,182 pounds of CO, 1 ( pounds of ROC, 93 pounds of NO,, and 3 pounds of PM,, daily. By 2000, the commercial operatic would generate 874 pounds of CO, 53 pounds of ROC, 95 pounds of NO,, and 5 pounds of Ph daily. The combined daily residential and commercial emissions in 2000 would to 1,470 pounds of CO,' 1 1 1 pounds of ROC, 127 pounds of NO,, and 6 pounds of PM,,. It is expect that emissions would decrease in subsequent years due to improvements in emissions-reductil technology, and the future use of low-emissions and zero-emissions vehicles. Compared to state and federal standards, emissions of ROC, NO, and Ph, would all be near or below 50 percent of the threshold levels, and no regional or local impacts wou result. At project completion, CO emissions would exceed the standard thresholds. The San Diel air basin is an attainment area for CO and the impact of the expected emission would not 1 significant on a regional basis. There would be no significant local CO impact, and overall, tl emission associated with the proposed project would be about 50 percent less than assumed regional planning documents. Although less than assumed, vehicle emissions would be consider cumulatively significant because the project is located in an ozone non-attainment area (see Sectil 5.0, below). 11 Final EIR for the Terra at Sunny Creek Proj CEQA Findvlgs I 0 Statement of Overriding Consideratic 0 Construction.

Implementation of the proposed project wou result in the development of approximately 60.1 acres, or approximately 98 percent of the sit1 Approximately 1 .O acre of the existing habitats on-site would remain after project construction; t remnant upland fragment would be an isolated island of low-value habitat. Project constructir would result in the direct removal of the majority of existing vegetation communities on site. Sensitive Species. Implementation of the project would result in the rem01 of two sensitive plant species (California adolphia and spiny rush) and would impact six sensiti wildlife species (California gnatcatcher, northem harrier, California homed lark, Cooper's hawk, rc shouldered hawk and white-tailed kite). Impacts to sensitive plants would include the removal approximately 70 California adolphia plants, and at least one individual spiny rush plant. The remnant habitat (brushed coastal sage scrub) used by at least one coas California gnatcatcher would be removed. Project construction would directly affect foragir perching an potential nesting habitat used by a variety of captor-species including red-shoulder hawk, Cooper's hawk, the northern harrier, and white-tailed kite. WiZdlfe Corridors. Wildlife movement through Agua Hedionda Creek woi be directly and indirectly impacted by the project. In addition to the direct loss of 0.3 acre of npar woodlands, indirect impacts associated with development (permanent structures and roadways) a human activity (noise, lights, pets) would increase adjacent to the creek. 4.4.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. 4.4.3 FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effects identified in 1 Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of the following feasil mitigation measures: Coastal Sage Scrub and Native Grasslands. Impacts to 1.7 acres of coastal sage scrub and 1.5 acres of native grassland habitats would be mitigated through off-site acquisition of 3.4 acres of coastal sage scrub and 3.0 acres of native grassland. The off-site purchase and protection of the area under a 13 Final EIR for the Tern at Sunny Creek Prc 0 CEQA Findings Statement of Overriding Considerati e conservation easement would satisfy the requirements of Interim Rule 4(d), and those of the HMP as it is currently proposed. This shall be completed prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project. Riparian Woodlands, Oak Woodlands, and Freshwater Marsh. A total of 0.62 acre of impacts would occur to oak woodland, riparian woodlands, and fieshwater marsh habitats. Impacts to freshwater marsh are confined to an agricultural field drainage way; it is not part of any wildlife corridor. Approximately 1.74 acres of riparian woodland would be revegetated, including 0.46 acre adjacent to the south and 1.28 acres to the north of Agua Hedionda Creek (Figure 5.4-3). The complete revegetation plan shall be prepared prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project. The project shall mitigate the loss of oak woodlands by replanting oaks at a 10: 1 ratio for each oak tree lost. The oak replanting areas are shown in revised Figure 5.4- 3, and total approximately 0.5 acre adjoining existing oak woodlands. Mitigation Measures for Cumulative Impacts to Regional Wildlife Movement and Riparian Resources. The direct loss of 0.3 acre of riparian woodland would be mitigated by off-site revegetation and by the following measures: Designating a natural open-space buffer with an average width of I approximately 66 feet between the edge of development (or in some cases the top of slope) and the edge of riparian vegetation; 8 Implementation of an expanded riparian corridor on the north and south sides of Agua Hedionda Creek; Construction of manufactured slopes to discourage pedestrian access Establishment of a Corridor Management Area within Agua Hedionda into the riparian areas; and Creek. Natural Open-Space Bufer. The extent and location of the natural open- of the habitat is shown in Figure 5.4-3. The buffer would extend along about 1,200 feet of the project boundary and would average 66 feet in width (varying from a minimum of 30 feet to a maximum of 300 feet). Manufactured Slopes. Where project grading would directly impact riparian woodland, a manufactured slope shall be constructed to separate the development of the habitat. The top of slope shall be separated from the space buffer between the edge of development (or top of slope) and the edge 14 Final EIRfor the Tern at Sunny Creek Pro a CEQA Findings I Statement of Overriding Considerati 0 riparian area by revegetated slopes including low-fuel volume shrubs. The slopes shall be planted to establish a thicket and to discourage human encroachment. Approximately 62,000 square feet of manufactured slopes would be included within the open-space buffer. Mitigation Plantings, Northern Edge ofAgua Hedionda Creek An expanded riparidwildlife movement corridor shall be established on the north and 5.4-3, would increase the corridor width by between 1 foot and 140 feet. Corridor Management Area Within Agua Hedionda Creek. A corridor Management Area shall be established within Agua Hedionda Creek. Implementation of the following management guidelines would improve the biological integrity of this regional habitat linkage over current conditions, and would off-set the project's impacts: south sides of the Creek, The proposed expansion areas, shown in Figure 8 Roadways shall have highly visible signs notifying drivers of the potential for wildlife. Speeds at corridor crossings shall be strictly enforced. m No fences shall impede movement within the corridor or in open space/conservation areas. If a fence is necessary, it should be a two- strange smooth-wire or split-rail type fence. Corridors shall be screened from the direct view of adjacent homes, roads, etc. by trees and shrubs. m If night-time lighting is necessary in the area of the wildlife corridors, only appropriate restrictive lighting pointed away from the corridor shall be allowed. In addition, streets shall not terminate at the edge of the corridor, which would flood the corridor with headlight illumination. Access to the corridor shall be limited to specified nature trail entrances, preferably some distance fiom major developed areas. The corridor should be crossed at a minimum number of locations needed to ensure emergency and security vehicle access. 8 An appropriate land management organization shall patrol for illegal activity within the wildlife corridor. 15 Final EIR for the Terra at Sunny Creek Prq CEQA Findings a 0 Statement of Overriding Consideratic 0 Management of open-space areas adjacent to residential development shall follow the same general guidelines as suggested for corridors. In general, access to such areas shall be limited to specific points, and the perimeter of the open space shall be separated from developments by appropriate residential fencing. 4.5 LAND USE 4.5.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: The project would be potentially incompatible wi the future commercial parcel to the west. A potential incompatibility would exist with the Plannc Industrial and Unplanned Area uses to the south. 4.5.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. 4.5.3 FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effects identified in tl Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of the following feasib mitigation measures: Adherence to the Landscape Concept Plan, which buffers the project from the future commercial parcel located across the College Boulevard Extension.

In addition, untested 17 Anal ElR for the Terraci at Sunny Creek Proje e CEQA Findings Statement of Overriding Considerati e portions of CA-SDI-9701 shall be fenced or flagged during construction and revegetation to avoid impacts to the site. CA-SDI-9700 and CA-SDI-14,339H both have a potential for important buried impacts to below a level of significance: cultural resources, impacts to which would constitute significant environmental effects. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented in order to mitigate rn An archaeological monitor shall be on-site during initial cutting or trenching in native soils in the areas of CA-SDI-9700 and CA-SDI- 14,339H to inspect for cultural resources. rn If cultural resources are encountered, the archaeological monitor shall have the authority to temporarily halt or redirect grading activities in the area of the cultural materials while the importance of the find is assessed. rn The archaeologist, in consultation with City staff, shall determine the importance of the cultural material encountered and develop appropriate and feasible mitigation measures, in the form of data recovery, preservation, or avoidance. A monitoring report shall be prepared and submitted to the City of Carlsbad following completion of the archaeological monitoring program. 4.8 PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES 4.8.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: The geological formation on-site are typically fosr bearing. Therefore, there is a potential for impacts to paleontological resources within the projl area. 4.8.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1, 4.8.3 FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effects identified in. Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of the following feasit mitigation measures: A qualified paleontologist shall be retained to perform periodic inspections of grading/excavation operations in fossil-bearing strata, and, if necessary, salvage exposed fossils. 18 Final EIR for the Term at Sunny Creek Pro CEQA Findings a, Statement of Overriding Consideratto @ e I The paleontologist shall be allowed to divert or direct grading in the area of an exposed fossil to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage.

Matrix samples shall be collected for processing through the fine mesh screens. 8 Provision for preparation and curation shall be made before the fossils All fossils collected shall be donated to a museum with a systematic paleontological collection, such as the San Diego Natural History are donated to their final repository. Museum. 4.9 NOISE 4.9.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: At ground level, single-family units on Lots 36-1 would experience traffic-related noise levels exceeding the City's noise standard. The second-ston of all units backing up to El Camino Real and College Boulevard could be exposed to exterior noi levels exceeding 60 dBA, and, therefore, noise levels exceeding 45 dBA could potential experienced. The multi-family fiordable housing units are expected to experience exteri noise levels of 60 dBA; interior noise levels of 40 decibels are anticipated. 4.9.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. 4.9.3 FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effects identified in tl Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of the following feasit: mitigation measures: Exterior Noise. The project would construct a 6-foot high berm along College Boulevard and a combination berm and wall at the comer of El Camino Real and College Boulevard. A slump block masonry step wall, ranging in maximum height from 5 to 6 feet, would also be constructed along El Camino Real behind Lots 36-41. Construction of these barriers would reduce ground level exterior noise impacts to below a level of significance. Interior Noise. At the time single-family and multi-family building plans are available, a detailed acoustical analysis shall be performed to ensure interior 19 Final EIR for the Terra at Sunny Creek Proj 0 CEQA Findings t Statement of Overriding Considerati e noise levels would be below the City's 45 &A CNEL standard. If the standard is exceeded, mitigation measures, such as mechanical ventilation, dual-paned sliding windows, and enhanced wall and door insulation, shall be employed to reduce interior noise impacts to below a level of significance. 4.10 LANDFORM ALTERATIONlAESTRETICS 4.10.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: Aesthetics. Development of residential uses, including associated cut and 1 slopes, adjacent to the scenic corridor of El Camino Real would create an impact to the existi aesthetic character of the project area, thus affecting the community theme corridor. Landform Alteration. The proposed project would require 62 1,870 cui yards of cut and 553,882 cubic yards of fill over a total of 59.4 graded acres (57.4 acres on-site acres off-site), including the 40-acre single-family and multi-family affordable housing parcel, t 19-acre commercial parcel, and about two acres of off-site grading necessary to avoid creating SUI conditions. Virtually the entire project area would be graded, either cut or filled. Some of the grading proposed by the project is necessary for the constructi of College Boulevard and improvements to El Camino Real. In addition, some remedial grading necessary to compensate for compaction of alluvial soils. Taking this into consideration, t adjusted grading volume is 7,500 cubic yards per graded acre, which is within the City's gradii allowance. Therefore, no landform alteration mitigation measures are required. 4.10.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. 4.10.3 FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effects identified in t Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of the following feasit mitigation measures: Implementation of the project's landscape concept plan which includes plantings along El Camino Real consistent with major arterial streetscapes and consist of trees, such as alder, camphor tree, California sycamore, evergreen pear, and Brisbane box. Landscaping on graded slopes in the northern portion of the project slope, while maintaining privacy at the toe of the slope. area (in common areas) would aim to frame views from the top of the 20 Final EIR for the Terra 4t Sunny Creek Prq 0 CEQA Fzndzngs L Statement of Overriding Conriderati e 8 Graded slopes shall be contoured to more closely approximate natural slopes and eliminate sharp lines and edges where they interface with natural areas. 4.11 PUBLIC SEWICES 4.11.1 FIRE PROTECTION 4.11.1.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: The proposed project would increi demand for fire protection services. The response time standard is satisfied. 4.1 1.1.2 4.11.1.3 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effec identified in the Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with'the adoption oft following feasible mitigation measures: Impacts to fEe protection shall be mitigated by payment of developer fees via the Growth Management Plan, which will fund additional staff and equipment, and by implementing project design, which would reduce the potential for catastrophic fire events. 4.11.2 LAW ENFORCEMENT 4.1 1.2.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: Development of the project anticipated to bring more people in Carlsbad, incrementally increasing the need for law enforceme Response times to the project would be within the City's standard. 4.1 1.2.2 4.11.2.3 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Finding 1. FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The significant effei identified in the Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption oft following feasible mitigation measures: Impacts to law enforcement services would be mitigated by payment of developer fees via the Growth Management Plan, increased revenues to the City from property and long-term sales tax paid by new consumers, and phasing of the project. 21 Final EIR for the Terra at Sunny Creek Pro, 0 CEQA Findings Statement of Overriding Considerati 0 4.11.3 EDUCATION 4J1.3J SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: The project would add approximat is operating at capacity and the potential exists that increased service demands on school facilil 129 new pupils, kindergarten through grade 12, to the district.

FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: THE significant effe identified in the Final EIR are mitigated to below a level of significance with the adoption of 1 following feasible mitigation measures: Prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit evidence to the Planning Director that impacts to school facilities have been mitigated in conformance with the City's Growth Management Plan to the extent permitted by applicable state law (government Code Section 53080 et seq. and 65995 et seq.). 5.0 SIGNIFICANT CUMULATIVE IMPACTS 5.1 CUMULATIVE AIR QUALITY 5.1.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: Development of the property would have significa unmitigable cumulative impacts to air quality, with or without the project. Because air quality i regional, community-wide problem, there are no feasible methods for the project to fully mitig; cumulative air quality impacts. 5.1.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Findings 1 and 3. Specifically, pursui to CEQA Guidelines $15091(a)(l), changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, 1 project, which will substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the F~I EIR. The cumulative impact is anticipated to remain significant. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelir significance. As described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations (Section 7.0, below), 1 City has determined that this impact is acceptable because of specific overriding consideration. FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The objectives of the project are to: ( provide market-rate residential housing that is appropriate to the area and that is both consistent w a complementary to surrounding planned or existing development; and (b) provide an affordal housing component consistent with the City of Carlsbad's housing policies. These objectives woi be met by developing the project, which accommodates single-family homes offered for sale market rate, and which also provides for affordable housing options - granny flats and apartmen §15091(a)(3), there are no feasible measures that would mitigate the impact below a level 5.1.3 22 Final EIR for the Terra at Sunny Creek Prq CEQA Findings Statement of Overriding Considerat 0 e The project site is well-suited for such uses because of its location in proximity to a major arte roadway, El Camino Real. The project site affords mass-transit opportunities, as well as accesi nearby commercial and light industrial centers, which provide an opportunity for employment i the provision of necessary goods and services. Implementation of the project would also have a positive fiscal benefit to City of Carlsbad. The total current unimproved 40-acre proposed project area has a taxable vs of $3,850,700. When constructed, the residential units would have a total assessed value $45,469,23 1 ($43,874,43 1 - single-family/average value of $255,000 per unit; $2,594,800 - mi family/average value of $5 1,900 per unit), and would be anticipated to provide annual property revenues of $65,021 to the City of Carlsbad. Annual revenues from sales tax would be expectec be approximately $33,708. Upon completion, the related commercial center project adjacent to 1 Terraces development is expected to require 248 M1-time retaiYservice employees. It is anticipa that at least some of those positions would be filled by occupants of the single-family and &orda housing units, providing an employment benefit to the City as well. 5.2 CUMULATIVE TRAFFICKIRCULATION 5.2.1 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: Traffic from the proposed project would contrib to cumulative traffic impacts. Impacts to area and regional circulation are presently significant, P or without development on the property site. Cumulative regional traffic impacts are considei significant and unavoidable. 5.2.2 FINDINGS: The City adopts CEQA Findings 1 and 3. Specifically, pwsu to CEQA Guidelines §15091(a)( 1), changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, project that will substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the Fi EIR. The cumulative impact is anticipated to remain significant. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelii §15091(a)(3), there are no feasible measures that would mitigate the impact below a level significance. As described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations (Section 7.0, below), City has determined that this impact is acceptable because of specific overriding consideration! FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDING: The proposed project is designed to prov support services in close proximity o existing transit, in addition to locating a higher density residential uses within walking distance to existing transit opportunities. As previously not. implementation of the project would also have a fiscal benefit to the City of Carlsbad. See Stateml of Overriding Considerations (Section 7.0, below). 5.2.3 23 Final EIRfor the Terri at Sunny Creek Prc a CEQA Findings L Statement of Overriding Consideratic e 6.0 FEASIBILITY OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES Alternatives to the project described in the EIR were analyzed and considered. T alternatives discussed in the Final EIR constitute a reasonable range of alternatives necessary permit a reasoned choice by the City of Carlsbad. Because the project will cause some unavoidal significant cumulative environmental effects, as outlined above, the City must consider t feasibility of any environmentally superior alternative to the project. These findings compare and contrast the alternatives where appropriate in order to show tl the selection of the project, while still resulting in some significant unavoidable cumulative impac hiis substantial environmental, planning, fiscal and other benefits. In rejecting all of the alternativt the decisionmakers have examined the project objectives and weighed the ability of the vario alternatives to meet those objectives. The objectives considered by the decisionmakers are follows: The project provides market-rate residential housing that is appropriate to the area, and tl is both consistent with and complimentary to surrounding planned and existing development. T project also would provide an affordable housing component consistent with the City's housi policies. A. No PROJECT ALTERNATIVE The "No Project" Alternative would entail retaining the project in its existing vacl condition. Under this alternative, the proposed single-family and multi-family resident components, including 78 affordable housing units and associated infrastructure, would not 1 constructed. The College Boulevard Extension would not be built across El Camino Real and tl maintained one-acre passive-use open space area and trail along Agua Hedionda Creek would n occur. The property might be used for agricultural purposes. The "NO Project'' Alternative would eliminate impacts to soils and geolog hydrology, biological resources, land use, traffic, cultural and paleontological resources, nois aesthetics, and police and fire protection and schools. It is the only alternative that would fully avc the project's contribution to cumulative impacts associated with air quality. However, even und this alternative, the City would still experience significant cumulative air quality impacts. Because implementation of the "NO Project" Alternative would not meet t objectives of the project, and because the alternative would likely just divert urban developme from this site to another, and because the alternative would not provide any of the benefits associat. with the project (see Section 7.0, below), the 'NO Project'' Alternative is not considered a feasib or an acceptable alternative to the project. In addition to the facts set forth above, the above findings are supported by the fa provide a range of housing types to meet the demand for additional housing, including affordab that the "No Project" Alternative would not: (i) create needed residential housing opportumties: ( 24 Final EIR for the Terra1 at Sunny Creek Proj 0 CEQA Findings Q Statement of Overriding Consideratic 0 housing needs within the City; or (iii) develop the project site as a cohesive residential communi1 In addition, the undeveloped property site is not providing any tangible benefits to the communi at large (see Section 7.0, below). The project site is well-suited to the proposed development. B. EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE The project property is part of a previously approved final subdivision map, kno\ as the "Sycamore Creek Specific Plan." Under this alternative, the project would involve evenh development of the subject property in substantial conformance with the approved final subdivisi. map. This alternative would develop various portions of the property as professional/office spac a hotel, a tennis club, a 175,000 square feet commercial project, an office professional complex, wi seven separate buildings totaling 423,000 square feet, and an approximately 120-room hol complex, with a 10,000 square feet clubhouse/restaurant and nine tennis courts. Because this alternative would entail more intense land uses (offic professionalhotel versus residential) overall, the environmental impacts would generally be great than under the project. In addition, the alternative would not reduce visual quality impacts, cumulative significant impacts to air quality and traffkkirculation. This alternative does not meet the project's major objective, which is to Cree economically viable residential land uses on the project site. On balance, this alternative also wou associated with the project would not be fully realized (see Section 7.0, below). For these reason this alternative is not considered a feasible or an acceptable alternative. result in greater environmental impacts when compared to the project. In addition, the benef C. OFF-SITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PARCEL ALTERNATIVE Under this alternative, the affordable housing units would occupy a 2.03-acre parc adjacent to the proposed project's northwest comer. The area allotted under the present site plan f affordable housing would be used instead for seven additional single-family residences, one with i efficiency unit. All other aspects of the alternative would be identical the proposed project. Environmentally, this alternative is comparable to the proposed project in terms soils, hydrology, cultural resources, biological resources, land use, traffic, and utilities and pub1 services overall impacts. Slightly greater impacts to noise would occur. This alternative would n reduce visual quality impacts, nor would it reduce cumulatively significant and unmitigable impac to traffic and air quality, which would occur under any development proposal. Weighed overall, this alternative is comparable to the proposed project fiom i environmental standpoint. However, this alternative is considered infeasible and unacceptab because the applicant does not own the land on which the affordable housing would be built und this alternative. In addition, this alternative would result in slightly greater noise impacts. 25 Final EIR for the Terrac at Sunny Creek Proj 0 CEQA Findings Statement of Overriding Considerat e D. ALTERNATIVE SITE The proposed alternative site is located on the southeast comer of the intersectior It consists of 59 acres with an Unplanned Area land use designation and Limited Control zoni The property is bounded by roadways on the north and east, and is surrounded by undevelo] agricultural lands on the south and west. McClelland Palomar Airport lies immediately northt of the property, and is surrounded by industrial land use designations. Palomar Arport Road and El Camino Real, approximately one mile south of the propoged proj Under alternative site analysis, fewer biological and landform impacts would anticipated. In terms of impacts to hydrology, circulation, cultural and paleontological resourc visual quality, and utilities and public services, the alternative site would be comparable to project location. Greater impacts to land use and noise would occur if the project were implemen on the alternative site. Air quality and traffic impacts would remain as significant cumulat effects. Weighed overall, the alternative site is comparable to the project location. 1 opportunities. However, the proximity of the airport and land use constraints would make proposed project's residential development much more difficult to design and implement on alternative site location. Because the applicant's development cost in relation to the anticipa retum would be higher, units would not be sold at market value, which is an objective of the projc This alternative is also infeasible because the applicant does not own the alternative site on wh the project would be built. In addition, the alternative would result in greater land use and no impacts. 7.0 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS alternative location would also provide comparable access to mass-transit and employm The Final EIR identified and discussed the significant environmental effects that will oc as a result of the proposed project. With implementation of the mitigation measures discussed in Final EIR and these findings, all of these environmental effects can be mitigated to levels insignificance except for unavoidable significant cumulative impacts on air quality and traffic. The City has adopted all feasible mitigation measures with respect to significant cumulat air quality and trafic impacts. Although in some instances these measures may substantially les the identified significant impacts, adoption of the mitigation measures will not fully avoid , impacts. The City has examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the project. Based on t examination, the City has determined that none of these alternatives: (i) meet project objectives; s (ii) is environmentally preferred to the project. As a result, to approve the project, the City m adopt a "statement of overriding considerations" pursuant to CEQA Guidelines SS15043 and 150 26 Final EIR for the Terri .at Sunny Creek Prc a CEQA Findings i Statement of Overriding Considerati a This statement allows a lead agency to cite the project's general economic, social or other benel as a justification for choosing to allow occurrence of specified significant environmental effects tl have not been avoided. The statement explains why, in the lead agency's judgment, the projec benefits outweigh the unavoidable sigmficant effects. The City finds that the project would have one or more of the following substantial soci environmental, economic, planning and other significant benefits: 1. The project would provide residential land uses that are consistent with the surrounding area. By providing both market rate and affordable residential alternatives, the project would create housing that is adjacent to a mass-transit corridor and within easy walking or commuting distance to areas of employment. The project protects the Agua Hedionda Creek wildlife corridor by implementing a Corridor Management Plan. The project extends College Boulevard between El Camino Real and the Sunny Creek access roadway, provides frontage and median improvements on El Camino Real along the length of the project and adds a right-turn lane on El Camino Real to substantially lessen regional traffic impacts. These regional improvements are advantageous to the community as a whole. The project will have a positive fiscal benefit to the City of Carlsbad based upon the market research incorporated into the record of the proceeding. For example, the total current unimproved 40-acre proposed project area has a taxable value of $3,850,700. When consuructed, the residential units would have a total assessed value of $45,469,231 ($43,874,431 - single- family/average value of $255,000 per unit; $2,594,80-multi-family/average value of $51,900 per unit), and would be anticipated to provide annual property tax revenues of $65,021 to the City of Carlsbad. Annual revenues from sales tax would be expected to be approximately $33,708. 2. 3. 4. On balance, then, the City finds that there are specific social, environmental, econom planning and other considerations associated with the project that serve to override and outweigh t project's unavoidable significant environmental effects and, thus, the adverse effects are consider acceptable. 27 Final EIR for the Terrc; at Sunny Creek Prg 0 e EXHlBll CHAPTER D MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM This document identifies mitigation measures which would reduce or eliminate potenti environmental impacts of the proposed project. The City of Carlsbad is required to impleme all adopted mitigation measures. To ensure compliance, the following Mitigation Monitorii Program and checklist is provided. This program is to be adopted by the Lead and Responsik agencies upon formulation of Findings, to comply with Assembly Bill 3180 (Public Resourc Code Section 21080.6). The Planning, Engineering, and Engineering Inspection Departments of the City of Carlsbad w administer the Mitigation Monitoring Plan. Augmented by possible contract personnel, the Departments are responsible for enforcement of City zoning regulations, which is provided ( a full-cost recovery basis by the City. Authorization to commence any on-site activity occu only after concurrence of the respective City Departments. Information contained within the following checklist identifies the mitigation measure, tl conditions required to verify compliance, the department responsible for determining complianc and the monitoring schedule. The City of Carlsbad determines which measures are applicab to the specific discretionary actions identified in the monitoring schedule.

The inclusionary housing portion of this project W~S approved by the Hous Commission on March 12, 1998. Otherwise as designed and conditioned and with the appro of the proposed amendments, this project is in compliance with the General Plan, the Zoni Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and the Zone 15 Local Facilities Management Plan. 111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND In 1984, a Tentative Map and the Sycamore Creek Specific Plan were approved on this s which allowed for the development of a professionalloffice complex, hotel and tennis clt Since that time the map on the site has been haled which would allow for the development the site at any time under the auspices of the existing Specific Plan. Due to changing marl conditions and the need for low and moderate priced housing in the City of Carlsbad, t applicant is proposing and staff is recommending approval of changing the site from no residential uses to residential. This will require the approval of a number of discretionary actio1 The proposed project will provide two product types in the residential medium (RM) density a] residential high (RH) density range. The area designated for medium density development w consist of 172 single-family detached units ranging in size fiom 1,605 to 2,519 square fee Twenty-eight of these units will be designed to accommodate second dwelling units. The 2.1 acre high density portion of the project will be developed with 50 affordable, 1,2 & 3 bedrooi apartment units. As shown on Exhibits “A”-“FFF”, the 172 detached single family units which are propose along a curvilinear 36 foot paved width private street system (with guest parking) are configure in a Z lot design. This design places 5 foot width use easements over adjacent properties alon portions of their side yards. This 2 lot configuration essentially turns the entrance side yard into private front yard while the other side yard becomes similar in use to a back yard. The us1 easements will be included in the required open space area designated for recreational use per thf Planned Development ordinance. AI1 buildings have at a minimum a 20’ fiont setback Erom th back of sidewalk and a similar building separation dimension where there are more than 11 structures in a row. The typical exterior is stucco with metal roll-up garage doors, wrought iron masonry, and stone accent detailing. The peak of the roof measures 24-25 feet and is coverec with concrete roof tiles. The 28 second dwelling units have been incorporated into the single family structure (Exhibi “TT”). Sitting above the three car garage of Plan 4, with private interior stairway, the 610 square foot unit includes a kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and a living area. The 50 unit apartment projecl is divided into three separate three story buildings. There will be 6 three bedroom, 20 two bedroom, 12 one bedroom and 12 studio units. The following is a list of the approvals requested as part of this project: 1. Certification of the Environmental Impact Report. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project. The EIR analyzed the potential impact Of development PUrSUant to the proposed project and related actions.

ANALYSIS The recommendation of approval for this project was developed by analyzing the projec consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analy section discusses compliance with each of these regulations/policies utilizing both text a tables. A. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROCEDURES (TITLE 19) AND TH CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT An Environmental Impact Report FIR) was prepared for the project in compliance with t Environmental Protection Procedures (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and t California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIR addresses the environmental impac associated with all discretionary applications for the proposed project including ultimate buildo of the entire project. In addition to the sections required by CEQA, the EIR analyzed tl following areas of potential environmental impact: 1. Soils and Geology; 2. Hydrology; 3. AirQuality; 4. Biological Resources; 5. Land Use; 6. Circulation; 7. Cultural and Paleontological Resources; 8. Noise; 9. Landform AlteratiodAesthetics; and 10. Utilities and Public Services The conclusion reached on the 10 areas of potential environmental impact fell into one of thre different categories. The three categories are (1) unavoidable significant environmental impact: (2) significant environmental impacts that can be avoided or mitigated, and (3) impact: considered in the EIR but found to be less than significant. Unavoidable Significant Environmental Impacts Based on the data and conclusions of the EIR, it has been found that the project will result il significant cumulative impacts to air quality and traf5c which cannot be fully mitigated. These cumulative impact are regional in nature and occur in areas outside the jurisdiction of the City Cumulative unavoidable traffic impacts occur on certain segments of El Camino Real in the northern portion of the City.

Noise, and 9) Landform AlteratioIdAesthetics. The mitigation measures are contained in the E as well as the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program attached to the EIR Resolution. ImDacts Found To Be Less Than Significant The following environmental impact areas were analyzed in the EIR but found to have impac whch are less than significant: 1) Utilities and Public Services. In order to approve the project, a Statement of Overriding Considerations must be adopt pursuant to Sections 15093 and 15126(b) of the CEQA Guidelines. A Statement of Ovenidi Considerations has been prepared and is attached to the Planning Commission Resolution for tl EIR. Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council Certi the EIR and adopt the proposed CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations. B. GENERALPLAN LAND USE The proposed General Plan Amendment (see attachment to Resolution No. 4288) will change tl existing designations of the project site from Commercial, Office and Residential High Densii (C/O/RH) to Residential High Density and Residential Medium (RH & RM). The RH Gener Plan Land Use designation allows for the development of condominium and apartment, th density range of 15-23 dwelling units per acre. The proposed 50 unit apartment project will ha\ a density of 22.9 dwelling units per acre and is therefore consistent with the RH General Pla designation. As discussed below appropriate findings can be made to allow this affordabl housing project to exceed the Growth Management Control Point of 19 dwelling units per acrc The RM General Plan Land Use allows the development of small lot (less than 7500 square feet single family homes that range in density from 4-8 dwelling units per acre with a growtl management control point of 6 dwelling units per acre. The single family part of this project wil include 172 units developed at a density of 5.3 dwelling units per acre. Therefore the project i consistent with the General Plan. The proposed project implements the Goals of the Land Use Element as illustrated below: 1. Goal A.3 A (Land Use Goals) “A City which provides for land uses which througl their arrangement, location and size, support and enhance the economic viability fo the community.” The project proposes land uses which will maximize the best us( of the site, and contribute to the reduction Erom 12,496 to 2,188 of traffic trip: within the City; EIR 98-01/GPA 96-01/ a 6-011SP 190(B)/LFMP 87-15(B)/CT a 02/SDP 97-02DUD 96- 02MDP 96-02/SUP 96-01/SUP 96-02/SUP 96-03 - TEMCES AT SUNNY CREEK June 3.1998 Page 7 2. Goal A.l (Growth Management and Public Facilities Goals) “A City which ensul the timely provision of public facilities and service to preserve the quality of life residents.” The project includes provisions which ensure that all necessary pub1 facilities will be available concurrent with demand. The project has been developc to be consistent with, and implement the Zone 15 Local Facilities Manageme Plan, as amended, Goal A. 1 (Agricultural Goal) “A City which prevents the premature elimination ( agricultural land and preserves said lands wherever possible.” The project wi result in the Gonversion of the site to urban uses. The project will not howevc result in the conversion of prime agricultural land to urban uses and no significa 3. impact to p&e agricultural farmland is anticipated; Objective C.5 (Residential) “Locate multi-family uses near commercial center employment centers, and major transportation corridors.” The proposed proj ec includes multiple family apartments adjacent to College Boulevard, within walkin distance of El Camino Real and adjacent to a future commercial center; and Objective C.ll (Residential) “Require new residential development to provid pedestrian and bicycle linkages ...” The proposed project includes a sidewal system which will provide Iinks to future pedestrian trails and bike trails adjacent t the site. 4 5. HOUSING ELEMENT The proposed project is consistent with Program 3.6b ofthe Housing Element which states thi “a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of all approved units in any residential specific plan c qualified subdivision shall be made available to lower income households.” The Inclusionp requirement for this project is based on 15% of the total number of units (250) proposed fo development within this project. This equates to 38 units. The proposed project will provide 5( affordable multi-family units and 28 second units for a total of 78 affordable units whicl represents 3 1 % of the total number of units in the project. This would appear to create 40 excess affordable units in the project. The provision of thesc excess units is a part of the tradeoff for transferring residential units to this site from the City’s ‘excess dwelling unit bank’ per City Council Policy No. 43 for the Northeast Quadrant of the City. This is discussed in detail in a later section of this staff report. The specific details regarding the size and location of the 78 affordable units will be discussed ir the portion of the staff report dealing with the Tentative Map and Site Development Plan. Thc timing and phasing of affordable units will be provided for in the required affordable housinb agreement for the project. This project would therefore be consistent with the Housing Element. In addition, the project is in compliance with Housing Goal 2, which provides that new projects be developed with a diversity of types, prices, densities and locations sufficient to meet the EIR 98-0 1 /GPA 96-0 1 / a- 6-0 1 /SP 190(B)LFMP 87-1 5(B)/C T@ -02/SDP 97-02RUD 96- 02/HDP 96-02/SUP 96-01jSUP 96-02/SUP 96-03 - TERRACES AT SUNNY CREEK June 3,1998 Page 8 demands of anticipated City and regional growth. The proposed project provides a variety housing types, and densities including multiple family and single family developments densities ranging fiom 5.3 - 22.9 dwelling Units per acre. The proposed 50 unit apartment project has a density that exceeds the Growth Managemc Control Point. Housing Policy 3.7h allows General Plan amendments to increase resident densities to enable the development of lower income affordable housing through the processi housing project is to be evaluated relative to: (1) the proposal’s compatibility with adjacent 15 uses; (2) the adequacy of public facilities; and (3) the project site being located in proximity employment opportunities, urban services, or major roads. The proposed project site meets thc three criteria as discussed below. The proposed project site is physically distinct fiom surrounding land uses due to its adjacency a General Plan Circulation Element Prime Arterial, El Camino Real, and a General PI Circulation Element Major Arterial, College Boulevard, as well as an open space tribuk drainage course for Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the steep cliffs that fall to it. Due to t buffering provided by the natural and man-made environments described above, the propos high density land uses are compatible with adjacent land uses. Converting the planned land use on the subject property fiom oflice and related commercial residential will revise the demand for public facilities as discussed within the Grow Management Section of this report. However no project specific facilities impacts i anticipated because public facilities have been or will be adequately sized to accommodate t maximum development allowed under the General Plan and Proposition E for the Northe; Quadrant (including all dwelling units within the City‘s Excess Unit Bank). The allocation dwelling units to this property simply shifts these unused excess dwelling units from one area the quadrant to this site, and does not create an overall increase in demand beyond I projections contained in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan. Therefore suffcic facilities are either already in place or will be provided concurrent with this project. 1 discussed above, Citywide and Northeast Quadrant dwelling unit caps will not be exceeded wi the approval of this General Plan Amendment and associated residential project. The site is appropriate for a higher density residential use and complies with the General P1 location criteria for affordable housing in that the site is located adjacent to circulation eleme roadways to allow access to public transportation and both commercial and industrial land us for employment opportunities. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT There are three primary issues related to the proposed General Plan Amendment fic Commercial, Office and Residential High Density to Residential High and Residential Mediu Density: (1) an elimination of commercial and office uses; (2) an increase in the amount residential development within the boundaries of the site; and (3) an allocation of 229 units fic the ‘excess dwelling unit bank’ per City Council Policy No. 43. These issues are discussed of a site development plan. The appropriateness of a given site for a higher density affordd EIR 98-01/GPA 96-0112 6 6-01/SP 190(B)/LFMP 87-15(B)/CT a 2/SDP 97-02PUD 96- 02/HDP 96-02/SUP 96-01/SUP 96-02/SUP 96-03 - TERRACES AT SUNNY CREEK June 3,1998 Page 9 follows: 1. Elimination of Commercial and Office Uses This site is currently designated for development with a mixture of Commercia Residential High, and Office Uses. The proposed General Plan amendment wi eliminate the Office (0) and Commercial (C) designations from this site. and all01 it to be developed with a combination of residential uses. The elimination of th professional office and commercial buildings from developing on this site. TI Economic Development Department indicates that there is no shortage ( professional office space in the City and that the department has not receive inquiries regarding this type of office use. The elimination of office uses will als reduce office employment opportunities on the project site, however, there will b many employment opportunities offered nearby in Local Facilities Managemer Zone 5. The commercial uses proposed were ancillary to the office uses of the zon and included restaurants and a hotel. It should be noted that a hotel is developin close to this site at the intersection of Faraday Avenue and College Boulevard, mi the adjacent retail commercial site proposes a number of potential restaurants whd should meet any perceived need for these type establishments. In addition, based 01 the fiscal impact analysis prepared for this project, this change will not result ii significant fiscal impacts to the City. Furthermore, the proposed land use change do not result in any significant changes in public facilities requirements. ‘office’ land use designation would preclude the previously approved multi-tenan 2. Increased Residential Development The proposed General Plan Amendment will increase the residential density on this site. The majority of the site was covered by the previously approved Sycamore Creek Specific Plan. This Specific Plan was approved prior to Growti- Management. When the Zone 15 LFMP was prepared for this portion of the City, public facility impacts within the property were based on the land uses approved in the Sycamore Creek Specific Plan. Although this site had a split General Plan designation of WUO, no residential units were assigned to this site since the approved Sycamore Creek Specific Plan did not contain any residential units. The proposed project includes the area covered by the Sycamore Creek Specific Plan as well as the 3.43 acre Pillsbury property which was not a part of this specific plan. The Pillsbury property has a General Plan designation of WC/O and a net acreage of 2.63. The Zone 15 LFMP assumed that up to 21 units could be developed on that property. The proposed General Plan Amendment will transfer 229 units onto the project site from ‘the excess unit bank’ in the Northeast Quadrant of Carlsbad. This transfer of units is discussed in detail in the following section.

Allocation of Excess Dwelling Units Under City Council Policy 43. City Council Policy 43 establishes priority levels for the allocation of excc dwelling units within each quadrant of the City. The priorities were provided a way to address the issue of having only a limited number of excess dwelling units a quadrant, at any particular time. As stated in Policy 43: “If there are on11 minimal number of excess units available in a quadrant, then the units should or be used for a First Priority project” (such as affordable housing). Conversely, there are a substantial number of excess units available in the quadrant, allocation a Second or Third Priority project is the first priority under Policy 43. T conversion of a non-residential use to residential use is considered a Priority project under Policy 43. AS of January 1, 1997, there were 339 units in the “excess unit bank‘’ for tl Northeast quadrant according to the Growth Management Update Report. Howev this number did not take into account all of the excess units that were created 1 turning the 893 unit Carlsbad Highland project into a habitat mitigation bank. addition, it did not take into account excess units created by projects that we approved below their growth control points in the Northeast Quadrant of the Ci that had not obtained building permits. Furthermore it is highly likely that substantial number of additional units will be created when additional acreage in tl Northeast Quadrant of the City is set aside for habitat corridors to comple Carlsbad’s Habitat Management Program. Therefore, staff believes that there a; more than sufficient units in this quadrant to allow for the proposed dwelling LUI transfer to this site. The approved Zone 15 Local Facilities Management Plan allocated a maximum c 21 units to this site. This proposed 250 unit project therefore exceeds the Grow Management Control Point by 229 units. This density increase of 229 units may b approved by the City Council under City Council Policy 43. The transfer of 22 units to this site will leave 165 existing units in the City’s “excess dwelling un bank” for the Northeast Quadrant. This project is required to provides a minimum of 15% of its total units (250 x 159 = 37.5 units) as affordable to lower income households. Accordingly the propose{ excess dwelling units are for the purposes of developing affordable as well a market rate units. As proposed the project will provide 50 affordable apartmen units an& 28 second dwelling units. This will result in 78 dwelling units or 3 1 % o the total project units being affordable to lower income households. Because thi project is providing in excess of twice its minimally required number of affordablt dwelling units, staff recommends support of the request to transfer 229 units out o the excess dwelling unit bank for the Northeast Quadrant.

CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE, TITLE 21, CHAPTER 21.52, ZONINl AMENDMENTS The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change as described in the project description an background section of this report. The Zone Change is necessary to achieve consistency with th proposed General Plan as the zoning designations shown on the Exhibit attached to Plannin Commission Resolution No. 4289 implement the General Plan designations shown on th Exhibit attached to Planning Commission Resolution No. 4288. The residential uses allowed b, the proposed zone change are compatible with surrounding existing and proposed residential an( nonresidential uses as noted in the previous discussion on the General Plan. The Zone Change tl Residential Density Multiple (RD-M) is appropriate because the RD-M zone is a small lot singl family and multi family zone which provides standards to enable the development of suci projects upon properties which are designated for higher residential density use by the Genera Plan. Accordingly the RD-M zone would be consistent with both of the proposed RM and RJ- General Plan land use designations for the site. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and policies of the various elements of thc General Plan, in that rezoning the site as proposed will: 1. provide for the development for a variety of land uses which have been carefully planned to maximize the best use of the site, and contribute to the economic viability of the city in compliance with Goal A.3 of the Land Use Element; provide new housing with a diversity of types and prices in that the project include: ranging from 5.3 ddac to 22.9 du/ac in compliance with Goal 2 of the Housing Element; 2. both multiple family attached and single family detached housing types at densities EIR 98-01/GPA 96-011 a 6-01/SP 190(B)/LFMP 87-15(B)/CT Jb -02/SDP 97-02PUD 96- 02/HDP 96-02/SUP 96-01/SuP 96-02/SuP 96-03 - TERRACES AT SUNNY CREEK June3, 1998 Page 12 3. provide 3 1 % of all units approved as affordable to lower income households wh is more than double that minimally required by Policy 3.6.a of the Housi Element; and provide an adequate circulation infrastructure concurrent with or prior to the act1 demand for such facilities as this project is conditioned to complete its fair share circulation infrastructure as described in the Zone 15 LFMP consistent w 4. Objective EL1 and Policy C.1 of the Circulation Element. D. The Sycamore Creek Specific Plan covered most of this 39.9 acre site as well as a 19.0 ac commercial site on the west side of the future extension of College Avenue. The propos amendment to the Sycamore Creek Specific Plan is to delete it. The Sycamore Creek Specific Plan was originally prepared because the Land Use Element oft General Plan formerly required a specific plan for projects located within the Palomar Airpc Influence Area and because the project site had a combination General Plan designatic (C/O/RH). In that the Land Use Element of the General Plan no longer requires that a specif plan be processed for parcels of land located within the Airport Influence Area and because tl proposed General Plan Amendment will replace the combination General Plan designations wi specific land use designations, there is no requirement or benefit of maintaining a specific ph over the subject property. All development proposed on the project site will be processt through other discretionary permits. While this action covers the discretionary requirements for the residential development of th, property, a site development plan and a special use permit for development within the El Camin Real Corridor would be required to be develop the Commercial site. The remainder parcel as, certified on CT 96-02, was also a remainder parcel within the context ( the existing specific plan. It requires a specific plan amendment to proceed with an development on that property and was included solely due to ownership. Even with tk rescission of the specific plan, as the property is within the Airport Influence Area, it will requii a site development plan to proceed to entitlement. The property presently has a R-1-20,OO Zoning and a RLM General Plan Land Use designation. The existing Specific Plan includes an open space designation over property which general1 corresponds with the floodplain for Agua Hedionda Creek. There are no other environmenG constraints associated with this Specific Plan Open Space. As there are no constraints o development within floodplains Citywide, outside of the necessity of processing a special us permit to ensure an adequately engineered site, the developer is requesting that a portion of th, Specific Plan Open Space (floodplain) area be developed with an affordable housing project. Fo reference the existing Specific Plan had a commercial hotel and tennis facility and future commercial of an unspecified nature bordering this open space area, as well as, a large parce that was not a part of the specific plan. The floodplain was designated as open space by thc Specific Plan in that it worked well with these land uses without the necessity of development.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT Planned Development Ordinance The Planned Development Permit covers the single family portion of the project and the adjacei commercial site, a portion of which is used for the provision of recreational vehicle parking. P mentioned previously, this area will be developed with 172 single family homes, 28 of whic will have second units. The minimum lot size is 3,870 square feet with the lots averaging 6,78 square feet in size. The single family lots will be comprised of a Z-lot line configurations fc side lot lines. This provides the opportunity to create private usable side yards as well as re: yards. The internal circulation system will consist of a gate guarded private street system.

The project’s grading volume of 7,500 cubic yards I graded acre is defined as “acceptable” pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 21.95.060 (j)(3) . The project‘s hillside slope conditions and undevelopable areas have been identified on t constraints map. A few steep isolated slopes will be graded as permitted by Section 21.95.090 the Carlsbad’s Hillside Development Ordinance. application was compkte prior to the effective date Qf the revised Hillside Ordinance. 1 J. SPECIAL USE PERMIT - FLOOD PLAIN The applicant is requesting approval of two Special Use Permits for grading within the Floc Plain as required by Chapter 21.1 10 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, since these areas a subject to inundation during a 100 year flood. One of the Special Use Permits is for the gradii required for the development of this project. The other is for the export of dirt from this site 1 the adjacent commercial site. The export from the proposed residential development will mere create a pad on the commercial site, which will raise a portion of it out of the flood plain. A Si Development Plan has been submitted and is in processing to allow for the development of th commercial site. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) establishes Base Flood Elevations (BFE to determine flood hazard areas. The BFE corresponds to the highest elevation subject to a 10 year flood. A 100 year flood is a flood level which has 1% probability of being equaled c exceeded in a given year. Properties are designated by FEMA to be subject to a 100 year floo when their lowest grade, or lowest finished floor of a structure, is equal to or less than the BFE. The proposed grading work will have a minimum finished elevation range of 74.5 to 81.7 fee and a range of 4.0 to 7.5 feet respectively above the 100 year flood elevation for the Flool Hazard Area within the project along the site’s northern edge. In summary, staff believes the proposed project will not have any developed area inundated in 100 year flood and would not adversely impact other properties in the vicinity, based on tht Engineering analysis. The EIR prepared for this project supports these conclusions. K. SPECIAL USE PERMITS - EL CAMINO REAL CORRIDOR The southern edge of the Terraces at Sunny Creek Specific Plan falls within Area 4 of the E Camino Real Scenic Corridor. The El Camino Real Scenic Corridor Development Standard: require approval of a Special Use Permit for all development within 500 feet of the right-of-waj of El Camino Real when downslope condition exists. The majority of the southern edge of thc Specific Plan is above El Camino Real.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the project as described previously in thj report. The Program EIR was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Qualit Act (CEQA) of 1970; the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environment: Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines) published by the Resources Agency of the State of Califomit and the City of Carlsbad Environmental Protection Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 of the Carlsbac Municipal Code). Ten environmental issue areas were analyzed. Significant cumulative impact to air quality and traffic were identified.

This project entails the subdivision of a 39.9 acre parcel into 172 single family lots, a multi-family lot and 1 open space lot and the development of 172 market rate single family homes, 50 affordable apartments, and 28 second dwelling units. The project also includes the mass grading of the adjacent 17.6 acre commercial site across future College Boulevard and its use for the storage of recreational vehicles per the requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance. The project site is.generally located at the northeast and southeast corner of the intersection of El Camino Real and College Boulevard in the Office/General CommerciallLimited Control Zone in Local Facilities Management Zone 15. The Commission received a last minute letter from Rancho Carlsbad requesting a continuance. Chairperson Noble stated that the consensus, among the participants in this item, is that no one can agree on any of the points and the decision to continue this item will be made after hearing from the representative(s) from Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park and also hearing the response from the applicant. Mike Churchill, 5200 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, Agent for the owners, stated that the problems Rancho Carlsbad is having with the project are engineering problems. Mr. Churchill introduced his Engineer, Ken Discenza. Ken Discenza, Site Design Associates, Inc., 7863 La Mesa Boulevard, Suite 201, La Mesa, referring to a letter from Rancho Carlsbad (a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department) and received by the Commissioners at this meeting, apologized for the lateness of the letter. He explained that the reason for the delay in writing the letter is because the plans and related information were received at the same time as the Notice of Public Hearing, and there has not been adequate time to study and respond to them. Assistant City Attorney, Rich Rudolf, reminded the Commission that the question before the Commission is whether or not to grant a continuance requested by Rancho Carlsbad Homeowners and therefore the testimony from Mr. Discenza should state their reason(s) for requesting the continuance, as opposed to Mr. Discenza stated that the plans, the EIR, the Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment, and the financing plan are incomplete and a continuance is required to allow time for their adequate completion. He indicated that some of the information may be in error and just needs to be corrected. As an example, Mr. Discenza stated that Development Area 4 in the Local Facilities Management Plan is not correctly depicted in the plan for the existing facilities called Rancho Carlsbad. He went on to point out that the financing plan itself does not take the plan to a point where the surrounding property owners have the ability to evaluate the appropriateness of the financing plan. Mr. Discenza further pointed out that the Local Facilities Management Plan has to focus on the development and the improvements and there Seems to be a lack of coordination between the smaller development areas that have been proposed and the improvements that are required for them. Regarding the EIR, Mr. Discenza stated that it appears to be lacking in information and should be clarified, either at this meeting or a subsequent meeting. Mr. the issues they have with the project. MINUTES , PLAN N I N G C 0 M M I S S IO N e Pagc Discenza concluded by stating that, essentially, a continuance is required to fill in the missing informati June 3, 1998 0 as outlined in the aforementioned letter. Bill Hofman, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday Avenue, Suite 120, Carlsbad, replied to h Discenza’s testimony by stating that all of the questions in the letter from Rancho Carlsbad have bel covered. He went on to point out that methods, the improvements required, and what they are a!tached have all been addressed. Mr. Hofman further stated that there has been ample time and opportunity * Rancho Carlsbad to address their concerns. Commissioner Monroy asked Mr. Hofman if Rancho Carlsbad had received a copy of the revised Financ Plan, dated May 29, 1998. Mr. Hofman replied that the revised Financial Plan is a result of a meeting with the property owners ai there has not been enough time to get a revised copy to the owners of Rancho Carlsbad. In addition, tl corrections that have been made do not address the concerns of Rancho Carlsbad. Mr. Hofman furth stated that in the opinion of the applicant, the Rancho Carlsbad concerns are in the Financial Plan thl have already reviewed, and the recent corrections would not be of any value to them. Commissioner Welshons asked staff if they can adequately address all of the concerns listed in tt Rancho Carlsbad letter, at this meeting. Assistant City Engineer, David Hauser, replied that some of them can be addressed at this meeting However, he stated that he is unsure as to whether they can all be addressed at this time. He pointed o that the drainage issues probably could not be settled at this time, but, the issues regarding the financir plan can be readily resolved. Regarding the division of Planning Area 4, Mr. Hauser pointed out that tt Plan (as presented) has been found to be adequate and the question of dividing that area (as suggeste by Rancho Carlsbad) could not be resolved at this meeting. Mr. Rudolf asked Mr. Hofman if Rancho Carlsbad now has a copy of his transmittal letter to Senic Planner, Brian Hunter, dated May 29, 1998, and if not, asked Mr. Hofman to please provide them with copy as soon as possible. In addition, he suggested that the representative from Rancho Carlsbad b asked if the changes are or are not relevant to their request for a continuance. Mr. Rudolf pointed out that although Rancho Carlsbad states many reasons for a continuance, the issue he is most concerned about are the LFMP and the Finance Plan. The objections regarding the adequac of the EIR, and extra time to review the EIR seems to be inappropriate as a ground for continuance. MI Rudolf pointed out that there has been a public review period, and since Rancho Carlsbad is intimatel affected, he IS Of the opinion that they would have a responsibility to have known about, reviewed, an commented on the EIR (or be prepared to comment on it) prior to this meeting. Mr. Rudolf instructed th Commission that it is their responsibility to, tonight, hear any Rancho Carlsbad comments regarding tht EIR; and if the Commission concludes that more information is required in the EIR (based on thosf comments), then the Commission must direct staff to take care of the issues and a continuance might bt granted to do that. As for any comments regarding the project itself, Mr. Rudolf stated that the project has been adequatel: noticed for Public Hearing and all information pertaining to the project has been available for review ani therefore a supposed lack of information is not an appropriate ground for continuance. The only exceptio1 would be information that has only been made available at this meeting. Mr. Rudolf went on to state that his concern regarding the LFMP and the Financing plan is because the process for dealing with them is called for in the Municipal Code. Mr. Rudolf stated that the Code calls for the creation of a LFMP for each zone and it allows for amendments as well. It requires the amendment: to LFMPs to be processed in the same way as a brand new one. An amendment is processed, either a the direction of the City Council or by an application by all owners within the zone, jointly submitting E Facilities Management Plan or a Facilities Management Plan Amendment. Mr. Rudolf suggested to the Commission that they must ask if there is an application, by all owners within the zone, jointly submitting 6 MINUTES PLAN N I N G C 0 MM I S S IO N e Page Facilities Management Plan at this meeting. He pointed out that some owners in the zone are not join submitting a Facilities Management Plan and are saying that maybe they would submit it if they knc more about it but are not prepared to submit it at this meeting. Regarding Item No. 9, in the letter from Rancho Carlsbad, Mr. Rudolf pointed out that it focusses upon requirement of the Municipal Code which says that, “one of the elements of a Local Facilities Manageme Plan is a Financing plan which establishes various methods of funding the facilities and improvemen identified in the Plan, fairly allocating the costs to the various properties within the zone. The Plan sh identify those facilities and improvements which would otherwise be provided as a requirement processing a development project or provided by the developer in order to establish consistency with tl General Plan or Titles 18, 20, or 21, and those facilities and improvements for which new funding methoi which shall be sufficient to ensure sufficient funds are available to construct or provide facilities ar improvements when required by the phasing schedule.” Mr. Rudolf further instructed the Commission ask, “does the information that is presented by the applicant, and is recommended for approval by tt staff, meet the requirement of the item just quoted.” Mr. Hauser responded by stating that staff believes that the information provided by the applicant doc meet the requirement as previously quoted from the Municipal Code, including the questions raised in tt, letter from Rancho Carlsbad. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Discenza to respond to the question regarding the revised Financin plan. Mr. Discenza replied that he is only representing Rancho Carlsbad and pointed out that there are othc interested property owners that also have expressed some concern with the Financing plan. Consequently, they feel that the Plan is still incomplete. Commissioner Compas pointed out that the letter from Hofrnan Planning Associates states that th changes to the LFMP and the Financing plan are minor and asked Mr. Discenza if he agrees that th changes do not affect the overall Plan. Mr. Discenza replied that he has not had an opportunity to read the Hofman letter and therefore is unabl other property owners, during which many questions were raised but no answers given and in an effort tc get some or all of those questions answered and concerns resolved, there should be a continuanct granted. Mr. Wayne stated that thus far, he had not heard any specific evidence that indicates that this is ai incomplete plan thereby meriting a continuance. Commissioner Heineman, regarding Mr. Discenza’s statement that there are others who have founc deficiencies in the plan, asked why those other people are not here to address the issues. Robert “Pat” Kelly, 2770 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, expressed his concerns regarding the Financins plan. He stated that the Plan gives an outline of how the financing is to be done but the actual distributior of the charges are going to be done later. He went on to say that by this method, it is very difficult (if no impossible) for any property owner to have any idea of the costs he or she will incur. Mr. Kelly furthe, stated that his biggest concern regarding this project is the grading on the commercial property without a Site Development Plan. Mr. Kelly suggested that the Commission is being asked to agree to a Plan thal sets the grading without a Site Development Plan. Mr. Kelly concluded by stating that the placement 01 200,000 (+) cubic yards of dirt onto a project without knowing what is going to happen to it when the resi of the project is constructed is, in his opinion, the overriding issue. Bob Ladwig, Ladwig Design Group, 703 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 300, Carlsbad, representing the Holly Springs property (known as Development Area No. 3), stating that he has a minor clarification regarding the Financing plan but nothing that he considers would merit a continuance of this hearing. June 3, 1998 0 to comment. He further pointed out that there had recently been a meeting between the applicant anc MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION a June 3, 1998 0 Pagf Commissioner Compas asked staff to respond to Mr. Kelly’s comment regarding grading without a S Development Plan. Mr. Wayne replied that this is, in fact, a Stockpile Permit to place a stockpile on the property and not a S Development Plan for grading. Staff is currently reviewing a Site Development Plan for commerical us on the property. Russell W. Grosse, 5850 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, owner and developer, stated that he wrote a VE relationships that would exist between the various properties, he also included maps detailing the ent development. He continued by stating that he has talked with them and has done everything one can 1 and the best response has been “we’re too busy sub-dividing our property; talk to us later.” Mr. Gros further stated that when he entered into a verbal agreement to acquire a piece of their property, they tc him they wanted him to pay attorney and engineering fees as a condition of the sale. Mr. Grosse stat that he paid those fees and the written agreement was prepared. However, he continued, when it w; time to sign the agreement, Rancho Carlsbad decided they did not want to sell after all. Mr. Gros: suggested that the Rancho Carlsbad people have had every opportunity to work with him on this proje and for them to come to this meeting, at the last minute, and request a continuance is nonsense. h Grosse pointed out that there are no current plans for the remaining 1,500 acres in the area and th makes it virtually impossible to come up with a financing plan that states that an absolute conclusion hi been reached as to who is going to share in the cost of College Boulevard. He further pointed out that tl facts of who is going to develop the property and how and when it will be developed are essential to arri at a conclusive financing plan. Mr. Grosse also pointed out that his development corporation has written blank check to the City by saying that whatever it costs and whatever the future allocation of Collec Boulevard is, they will share in it in accordance with whatever occurs when and if the remaining acreage developed. Mr. Grosse went on to point out that he has reached an agreement with the City that says th he will pay for 100% of the cost of College Boulevard, as it fronts on his property. In addition, t continued, he has agreed that he will share in the future costs of College Boulevard in any manner that deemed fair at the time that College Boulevard is constructed and when there is knowledge as to what actually going to be developed on the aforementioned remaining 1,500 acres and how those costs a going to be shared. Mr. Grosse stated that Rancho Carlsbad actually wants the City to come to tt conclusion that his 39.9 acres cannot be developed because there is no finite answer to the costs College Boulevard. In addition to the previously mentioned agreement with the City, Mr. Grosse ais pointed out that the Conditions of approval require his company to secure, with a note and deed of trust o some of his property, their future obligation to pay for additional College Boulevard, if and when it gei built and if and when anybody decides to do with the other 1,500 acres. Mr. Grosse stated that staff has done a terrific job and if he can’t go forward with his project, based on th way his staff has approached the Zone 15 modification and Financial Plan, then no one who has a sm: piece of property in an undeveloped large zone, will be able to do anything to develop their propertic unless 100% concurrence is acquired from ail of the property owners. As for the question of stockpiling, Mr. Grosse pointed out that he has approved plans for an office par and shopping center that will be built after the Terraces are completed and it doesn’t make sense to ha1 dirt away from the Terraces when that dirt will be needed for the grading and completion of that office par and shopping center. The idea is to put the dirt on his remaining property, get final approval for th shopping center and office park, and use the dirt to finish the shopping center site. Commissioner Welshons stated that considering the vast amount of information that was receive immediately prior to the beginning of this meeting, she feels that the everyone concerned would be bettc served if the Commissioners have more time to read and digest that information and therefore woul support a motion for a continuance. Ms. Welshons explained that she understands Mr. Grosse’ frustration but that she would not feel comfortable approving a project that she has not had adequate tim to review. lengthy letter, to Rancho Carlsbad, over two years ago, and in addition to pointing out all of ti MINUTE!

John Blair, 7599 Dehesa Court, Carlsbad, Business Manager for the Carlsbad Unified School Districi stated that what they are asking deals with Zone 15 in its entirety and not just with the Sunny Cree. Terraces project. He went on to say that they are requesting that conditions for school mitigation anc agreements requiring the developers to become members of the Community Facilities District of the School District, be applied uniformly throughout Zone 15, regardless of the phasing, as it has previousll been applied in Zone 20 and other zones in the City. Commissioner Savary stated her support for a continuance.

Mr. Waq explained that, in the City’s opinion, the Commission has four options to consider regarding Commission’s action at this meeting. Mr. Wayne itemized those options as follows: 1) To continue Public Hearing to July 1, 1998, pending the outcome of the City Council action on the applicant‘s petiti which is scheduled for June 23, 1998; 2) To hear and act upon everything, except, the Facilit Management Plan (The Commission’s action would be subject to the approval of the Local Facilit Management Plan); 3) Hear all and take no action at this time (action by the Commission would follow t City Council’s action on June 23, 1998); 4) Hear all (including the Local Facilities Management Plan) a take action on all. However, if this project is heard, then it would be advisable to condition all of 1 resolutions to say, “any action taken at this time will be subject to the City Council’s granting of permissi to prepare the Facilities Management Plan.” Mr. Wayne further recommended that this be acted up( first, to determine whether or not there will be a Public Hearing on this date.

In this case, however, the applicant is anxio to proceed. Commissioner Monroy stated his support for Option No. 1, to continue to July’l, 1998.

Th project also includes the mass grading of the adjacent 17.6 acre commercial site across future Colleg Boulevard and its use for the storage of recreational vehicles per the requirements of the Plannec Development Ordinance. The project site is generally located at the northeast and southeast corner o the intersection of El Camino Real and College Boulevard in the Offke/General Commercial/Limitec Control Zone in Local Facilities Management Zone 15. Assistant Planning Director, Gary Wayne, introduced this item and stated that Senior Planner, Brian Hunter wiI present the staff report and will be assisted by Ken Quon, project engineer. Project Planner, Brian Hunter, presented the staff report by first giving an overview of each of the multiple applications for the project and also reviewed the history of this project. Mr. Hunter also showed some slide: indicating the location of the project and how it fits in with the immediate surrounding areas. Mr. Hunter pointec out that through the General Plan EIR, produced in 1994, it has already been determined that there arc significant unmitigable impacts to air quality and traffic and circulation based on a cumulative regional basis. Some of the lots will require a sound wall to achieve noise mitigation. The originally intended use for thi: property was commercial. The 17 acre portion of the property, west of College Boulevard, will at some time in the future be developed as commercial. In the meantime, that commercial property will be graded and then maintained as a recreational vehicle storage area for the Sunny Creek project. The residential project will be composed of 172 single-family lots, a multi-family (three building, 50 unit apartment complex) and the development of 28 second dwelling units within the single-family part of the plan. Regarding density, the project proposes a General Plan Amendment to Residential High Density for the apartment site and a Residential Medium Density for the single-family portion. Mr. Hunter stated that the driving reason for staffs support of the General Plan Amendment is twofold; 1) the property is topographically distinct from the non-residential properties adjacent and across from it; and, 2) area can be developed and therefore it is necessary to provide the essential housing that Will Ultlrilatdy SUppOfl a commercial center. in addition, the over-riding reason is that this project does make sense from a planning standpoint. commercial centers require an adequate number of homes to be established in the area before the Commercial MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 0 July 1, 1998 e Page The proposed Specific Plan Amendment rescinds the Sycamore Creek Specific Plan. Presently the land L element Of the General Plan requires any development to receive a discretionary approval which is within j airport influence area. Therefore, by rescinding this Specific Plan, no discretionary review of this plan will taken away. The significance of this change is that it changes the review level from the City Council to t Planning Commission and unless there is an appeal, the Planning Commission would be the final decisi makers on the Site Development Plan for the future commercial site. Also, without the Specific Plan, what t development standard are going to be must be established. The existing Specific Plan was adopted ordinance after the El Camino Real standards were adopted, and it is staffs opinion that the Specific PI the Specific Plan it may be necessary to go back to the El Carnino Real Corridor standards as there may some desire to go back and amend them and the reason for that is two-fold; 1) because the corridor standari speak to a commercial or non-residential development rather than the proposed residential development; ar 2) staff believes that the corridor standards have already been amended once by the existing Specific Plan ai the corridor standards are much more restrictive on what can be developed. The Local Facilities Manageme Plan provides a Finance Plan and a school condition that the school district has agreed to. Also, on Tuesday, June 30, 1998, the City Council authorized the preparation of the Zone Plan and the Finan Plan. The Planned Unit Development is required because approximately 118 of the 172 lots are less than 7,5( square feet with an average lot size slightly over 6,000 square feet. Any apartment project of more than four units, and all affordable housing projects of any size are required file a Site Development Plan. It is also the instrument that allows development beyond the growth control poi but still within the General Plan Land Use range. The proposed apartment site is within the range but it above the growth management control point. The fill from the residential site will be exported to the commercial site for future use. There is a potential fc remedial grading as well as grading for College Boulevard and El Camino Real. The adjusted grading volum for the residential site is 7,500 cubic yards per acre which is acceptable under the previously existing Hillsid Ordinance. This application for this project was complete prior to the effective date of the newly revise Hillside Ordinance. Therefore, it was reviewed under the previous version of the Hillside Ordinance and is i total accord with that ordinance. There are three special use permits; one for the El Camino Corridor and two for development in the flood plair Both the commercial site and the apartment site are being raised out of the flood plain. A letter from the Rancho Carlsbad Partners Association has been received (a copy of which is on file in th Planning Department) stating that they have resolved all of their issues with the developer and are in fl; support of the project. A letter from Mr. & Mrs. Robert “Pat” Kelly has been received (a copy of which is on file in the Plannin! Department) expressing their concerns regarding the grading and the access. In response to their letter, staf believes that there is nothing that will affect the Sunny Creek Road access on or to the Kelly property. However, it is expected that at some time in the future, Sunny Creek Road will possibly become a right in an( right out only. The grading meets the City Ordinance and, in staffs opinion, it does not preclude potentis fUtUre aCCeSS to College Boulevard if that can be so attained through good design of some kind of discretionar action by the Planning Commission and potentially, the City Council. Currently there is no access to futurc College Boulevard from the Kelly property. Regarding the financing plan, Assistant City Engineer David Hauser, stated that it is his understanding that Mr & Mrs. Kelly’s concern is that the financing plan is non-specific and open ended with regard to the financing o College Boulevard and Cannon Road. The financing plan basically states that those within the Zone If boundaries, in Development Areas No. 1, 2, 3, and 4, are responsible for the financing of College Boulevarc between El Caminti Real and Reach 3 of Cannon Road. Financing plans typically do not get into the issue o saying exactly how much money each property owner, within the zone, is going to be responsible for and is something that follows, later on, as the properties develop. The Zone Plan usually sets up a requirement for overrides the Corridor standards which were only adopted by Resolution. In this case, with the rescission MINUTES PLAN N I NG COMMISSION 0 July 1, 1998 e Page ’ what improvements need to be financed with the development of the zone and the Finance Plan says wt mechanism is there and who is responsible for financing of it. In this case, there will be some type of finan program that will most likely be a bridge and thoroughfare district, although that has not been specifically stat1 in the Zone Plan financing. It, specifically, has to be a Bridge and Thoroughfare District or a Commun Facilities District or an Assessment District or a private funding arrangement by the property owners. AI: there are other zones that have overlapping financial responsibilities for the construction of the abo mentioned roads. In the recently approved Capital Improvement Program budget, the City has includm funding for the preparation of preliminary engineering and environmental studies for College Boulevard a Cannon Road and a preparation of a fee study report and, ultimately, the establishment of some kind of a F District for the financing of the two roads. At that time, the City will know exactly what the cost of those roa will be. As for the concern that the approval this Finance Plan will set up a blank-check for the residents, th is only true for those who are prepared to go forward with a development at this time and that would be tl developer of the Sunny Creek project. The condition states that if they wish to go through with tl development, they will build their portion of College Boulevard (across the project site) and in addition, they VI enter into an agreement whereby they will agree to pay whatever their fair share of the overall cost of not or the portion they have built but the portions that extend out to Reach 3 of Cannon Road. The other concern expressed by the Kellys, is that they feel that they should have an idea of whether tl spread is going to be based on ADT, frontage, population, acreage, etc. Again, that is left to the Assessmf Engineer who will prepare the report and figure out the best way to make the spreads based upon tl requirements and the needs of the properties for the road(s). The most likely scenario for funding this is Bridge and Thoroughfare District and would be based upon ADT and there would be a frontage component. Employing the use of overhead projections, Mr. Hauser identified each zone and explained the participation ( non-participation) of each zone in the financing plan. Regarding a letter from Randall B. Klotz, Attorney at Law, (a copy of which is on file in the Plannir Department) representing Mrs. Ida Kato. Commissioner Compas asked staff to respond to the concerr expressed in the letter. Mr. Hunter stated that he had just been given the letter from Mr. Klotz and asked if his response could t delayed until after he was able to read it. Commissioner Compas complied with Mr. Hunter’s request and went on to ask staff to respond to Mr. Kelly concern regarding the grading that he feels will preclude him from connecting his property to College Bouleva from Sunny Creek Road. Mr. Hunter replied that Mr. Kelly’s assumption is incorrect and that nothing is being done, at this time, that w preclude Mr. Kelly from accessing College Boulevard and there is not yet a completed approved plan on thi site. He further stated that Mr. Kelly’s concern is not premature, however, the resolution of his concern premature. Referring to a number of exhibits, Mr. Hunter pointed out, described, and explained where each developmei site is located, the elevations, grading, landscaping, setbacks, the “Z lot concept, etc. Commissioner Monroy asked Mr. Hunter to state the change in the ADT, between the approved commerci site and the proposed project. Mr. Hunter replied that the current approved commercial site was 12,496 ADT, and with the proposed projec the ADT is 2,188 with a difference of 10,308 ADT that will not be generated by the proposed project. Commissioner Welshons asked how much private recreation space each unit will have and how much commo area recreation space is provided. Mr. Hunter indicated on the exhibits, the private space on each of the “Z” lots which more than meets th minimum requirement. As for the common passive recreation requirement of the Planned Developmei Ordinance, Mr. Hunter indicated one large open space lot and stated that it is his understanding that th applicant is going to propose some additional open space at the end of C Street and D Street. MINUTE P LAN N I N G CO M M I SS IO N 0 Page Regarding the apartment units, Commissioner Welshons asked if they are intended to be affordable housi and Mr. Hunter replied affirmatively. Commissioner Welshons asked if there will be any covered parking for the apartments, to which Mr. Hun replied that there would not be any covered parking. Commissioner Welshons asked if staff, at any time, has asked for one-story units in the single-family portion the development, in an attempt to break the monotony of the line of sight. Mr. Hunter replied that staff commonly asks for one-story, but because of the smaller lots, it would extremely difficult to place a one-story. Also, the market value of a one-story is a concern for the developer. Commissioner Welshons asked how parking, for the second dwelling units, will be provided. July 1, 1998 0 Mr. Hunter replied by stating that the garage beneath the second dwelling unit will provide the parking and i. separate from the main house. Along the scenic corridor of El Camino Real, Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hunter to address what ki of parkway exists, the setback, and who will maintain it. Mr. Hunter stated that the parkway (typically five feet), between the sidewalk and the property line, will maintained by the Home Owners Association. Where the retaining wall begins on El Camino Real and meets College Boulevard, Commissioner Welsho asked Associate Engineer, Ken Quon, how wide the parkway will be. Mr. Quon replied that there will be five feet of parkway between the sidewalk and the outside face of tt retaining wall. Commissioner Welshons asked who will own the slopes (behind those back yards that have slopes), and wt will maintain them. Mr. Hunter referred to an exhibit and pointed out the lot lines and slopes and stated that the slopes will be tl responsibility of the owner. Commissioner Welshons then asked if there is any requirement as to how the slopes are to be maintained, 4 will the use of the slope be left to the owner’s discretion, meaning; will they be able to plant a garden, make tk slope ornamental, etc. Mr. Hunter replied that the landscape plan shows mixed ground cover and a variety of trees and the slopes u be landscaped to the Landscape Manual standard. If she were driving west on College Boulevard, Commissioner Welshons asked what her view of the Terraa would be. Mr. Hunter stated that she would see the homes first, then slopes of varying heights, and a woodlands area, E of which Mr. Hunter indicated on the exhibits. Commissioner Welshons asked the same question with regard to driving north or south on El Camino Real. Mr. Hunter again indicated on the exhibits, some of the slopes that will be visible, and stated that at som points, very little will be visible. Commissioner Welshons asked what the City’s residential cul-de-sac policy is and how this project meets thi policy. Mr. Quon replied that the cul-de-sac can be no greater than 1,200 feet and cannot exceed 50 units. T accommodate the cul-de-sac standard, the City has allowed a wider street section at the entrance street wit MINUTE: PLANNING COMMISSION 0 July 1, 1998 a Page the cul-de-sac beginning at the end of the widened street. He pointed out that the City is constrained to provi a second access to this project because the City does not want to grant access on College Boulevard or Camino Real and the project is also constrained by the creek to the north as well as a non-residential area the east. Commissioner Welshons asked how the wider street get 172 units and 28 second dwelling units out of there the event of an emergency. Mr. Quon replied that the wider street section at the entrance provides emergency access to emergen vehicles and at the same time allows residents to exit the project. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hunter how many vehicles can get through the gate at one time. Mr. Quon stated that they are not aware of the details of the width of the gate but that the street is wide enou! to accommodate an emergency vehicle and a car passing each other. Mr. Hauser explained that the way the cul-de-sac standard works is that it basically states that if there is a 1 foot curb to curb street, 1200 feet and up to 50 units is allowed. Anything more than that requires a secoi access opening into the project or the entrance street can be widened. The standard states that if there is wider street (a secondary arterial street), up to 3,000 ADT are allowed. He added that the cul-de-sac standa has been reviewed by the Fire Marshal and has been found to be acceptable to their needs as well. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hunter if he is aware of what the income level, or target market, for th project is. Mr. Hunter deferred that question to the applicant. Commissioner Welshons asked if there are any city trails that go through or are in proximity to this project. Mr. Hunter replied that the citywide trail system does not go through this area. Referring to a portion of the staff report that indicates that the proposed project includes a sidewalk syster which will provide links to future pedestrian trails and bike trails, adjacent to this site, Commissioner Welshor asked Mr. Hunter to show (on the exhibit) where this statement is satisfied. Mr. Hunter indicated a trail along the creek and stated that this project is only providing the sidewalk linkage! to those trails. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hunter if he would agree that these homes are being provided 1 accommodate a lot of the people that are working in the businesses on the west side of El Camino Real in thl Industrial Zone. Mr. Hunter replied that that is quite possible as there is a jobslhousing imbalance, currently, that the City woul like to correct. commissioner Welshons asked how the residents will exit the project if they wish to catch a NCTD bus. Alsc if there is a certain income level, are there ways to get through the project and out to El Camino Rea) c College Boulevard, without driving. Mr. Hunter replied that A Street is presently the main entrance and exit point, whether walking or driving. HI added that it is his understanding that the applicant will be proposing a secondary pedestrian access but tha he has no details. Commissioner Compas asked what portions of this project will be maintained by the Home Owner Association. Mr. Hunter replied that the applicant will address that question during their presentation. MINUTE: PLAN N I NG COMMISSION a July 1, 1998 e Page In describing the view, traveling down College Boulevard, Commissioner Heineman asked Mr. Hunter if wt will really be in view are roofs. Mr. Hunter replied that how much of the roofs will be visible will depend upon where the landscaping is and i maturity. He added that in the beginning, roofs will definitely be visible. In some areas, because of the varyi pad elevations, the edges of some of the buildings (below the roof) will be visible and in some cases only t roofs will be visible. Commissioner Nielsen asked if SP 190(B) effectively does away with the Specific Plan and removes it from tl review of City Council and subject to the view corridor on El Camino Real. Mr. Hunter stated that the ordinance that adopted the Specific Plan came after the El Camino Real Corric standards (adopted by Resolution rather than by Ordinance) and staffs interpretation is that the City Counci intent therefore, was that the Specific Plan was the governing document as far as development standards. this case, with the recision of the Specific Plan, all that is left is the zoning and the rules that exist in t General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Within the General Plan, it states that any project within the Airpr Influence Area (this site is within that area), requires a discretionary action and a Site Development Plan typically how that would be done. The recission of the Specific Plan, which is part of this project, and by tt Commission's approval of that recission, City Council review is then taken away from the commercial settin! Additionally, this project would be subject to the El Camino View Corridor standards. Commissioner Savary asked how infill is stabilized in the flood-plain to make it absolutely safe. Mr. Hauser first explained the difference between a flood-plain and a flood-way. The flood-way is generally tl area that takes most of the drainage. The definition of a flood-way is that if all the area is filled up to its lim the increase in the level of the water in the flood-way is one foot. Typically, when one is looking at are: around flood-plains, there are no fast moving waters and are instead one is looking at a backwater area, whic is the case in this project. The applicant is required to do hydrology and hydraulic analysis to show, whether ( not, there are erosive velocities where they are putting fill in an area. If there are errosive velocities, then tt- developer would be required to have armoring, such as rock, rip-rap, etc., of the slope. If there are no errosib velocities, then the developer would be allowed to plant the are which would provide protection from lo velocity water. Commissioner Savary, pointed out that the EIR says that in-fill areas must be stabilized and asked exactly ho that is done. Mr. Hauser replied that it is done through engineering analysis which address the flooding conditions before th development and by the requirement for a hydrology analysis that shows the velocities of the water by the edg to the side slope that would prevent the fill from being washed away. Commissioner Savary explained that she was referring to the terraced land and stated that she wants som assurances that if an affordable housing development is approved in a flood-plain, that it is properly protected. Mr. Hauser replied that staff believes that the data shows that the area will be properly protected and that i, final design, it will be set up to make sure that there will be no washouts due to flooding. For clarification, Commissioner Monroy asked if he is correct in his understanding that if the Commissioi rescinds the Specific Plan for the approved commercial project, that recission would be subject to appeal b the City Council and/or by the applicant. Mr. Hunter replied that the Commissioner's understanding of the recission is correct. Applicant, Bill Hofman, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday Avenue, #120, Carlsbad, representing th developer, Russell Grosse Development Co., described the project as follows: The proposed project is tht result of approximately three years of planning and they believe it to be both desirable and innovative and wil be a real attribute to the City of Carlsbad. As mentioned in the staff report, over time it has become apparen of the fill. If the velocities are higher than 6 feet per second, then the City would require some kind of treatmer that the currently approved commercial project is not the best use for this property as there is more that MINUTE! PLANNING COMMISSION 0 July 1, 1998 0 Page 1 enough property still available to accommodate future commercial development in the areas near the Gros: project. They feel that a residential use with an R-M designation makes much more sense. With the R- designation they are able to locate moderately priced units in close proximity to a commercial center, to jc centers in the industrial core, and to public transportation. In addition to the goals pointed out in the st: report, the primary goal of the residential section of the Land Use Element is: I) to provide a variety of housir types and density ranges to meet the economic and social requirements of the residents of the city; 2) attractive residential areas with a wide range of housing types, styles, and price levels in a variety of location This project helps the City accomplish these goals and objectives. Also, by changing the land use residential from the previously approved commercial project, traffic will be reduced by 82% thereby alleviatir some of the congestion problems at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real. Regarding density and the views from El Camino Real, the density of this project is about 6 dwellings per acr This density includes the 28 second dwelling units disbursed throughout the project. The perceived density \1~ be about 5 dwelling units per acre. This project is actually at a lower density than most of the resident; projects that have been approved in past R-M designations. The minimum distance between dwelling units ~ 15 feet and in many cases there is a 20 foot separation and effectively eliminates the need or the requiremei to drop a unit when there are more than ten units in a row. The average lot size is 6,800 square feet. The grades of the project terrace down toward Sunny Creek Road and at the corner of College Boulevard ar El Camino Real, where the grade levels meet, there will be a berm and a sound attenuation wall wii landscaping and any view of roof tops will be virtually eliminated in Sections A & B, (as shown in exhibits) ar the view line will be right over the tops of the units in Section C (also as shown in exhibits). The lack of active recreation facilities, on the single-family portion of the site, is an attempt to keep homeownc fees to a minimum for future residents. However, there is room to provide additional active recreational area and are thus proposed for three separate areas; 1)a pad area of 11,890 square feet that could be turned intl an active recreational area for volleyball, picnics, barbecues, etc.; 2) another pad area of 4,430 square feet th2 could potentially be a Tot Lot; and, 3) another area of 4,500 square feet at the end of C. Street. Also there i an area at the end of one of the cul-de-sacs that could be turned into an active recreational area, such a another Tot Lot. Grosse Development Co., will be more than happy to provide those recreational areas if th Commission so desires. A pedestrian access to the intersection at College Boulevard and El Camino Real would certainly be a benef to the community. The concern has been for noise attenuation and the security of the project. If the Plannin: Commission desires, however, the developer will not object to providing that access and envisions that acces: as going through, approximately, where Lot #33 would be. Carl W. Lagoni, AIA, 2031 Orchard Drive, Newport Beach, with the use of the exhibits, explained the concept o the Z lots in detail and stated that, as designers, they need to be very. sensitive to the living environment the] provide for potential buyers and the Z lot is a very good way to accomplish that goal. Mr. Hofman concluded his presentation by requesting that the Commission approve this project as presented. Commissioner Monroy asked Mr. Hofman to clarify what he meant when stating that these homes will be in thc moderate price range. Mr. Hofman replied that the prices of these homes, as originally conceived, are projected to be in the low to mic $200,000 range and the square footage will range from 1,600 to 2,000 square feet, the average beins approximately 1,800 square feet. Commissioner Compas expressed his concern for the maintenance of the El Camino Real and COlleg€ Boulevard slopes and parkways and asked who is going to maintain them and how they are to be maintained. Mr. Hofman replied that the maintenance of all of the slopes shown on the exhibit that are landscaped, and the front yards, will be planted and maintained by the Home Owners Association. Commissioner Welshons. referring to one of the exhibits, asked what is going to be in the blank white space achieve a variety of safe and attractive housing in all economic ranges throughout the city; and, 3) to offer saf' MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 0 July 1, 1998 0 Page that abuts one of the apartment buildings. Mr. Hofman stated that that property is owned by Rancho Carlsbad and it is not known what they intend to with it. Also, College Boulevard will be going through there, separating the apartment building from the rest the property. He added that there will be fences and landscaping around the apartment complex and i setback appears to be a minimum of 15 feet and a maximum of 20 feet. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hofman to verify, again, that ail of the slopes behind each residenct fence will be accessible to a gardener(s) so that all of the maintenance can be done at once because that is common area and the Home Owners Association will maintain it. Landscape Architect, Steve Valles, 3366 Newcastle, Cardiff, referring to the landscaping exhibit explained tt the parkway on College Boulevard is a common area, slopes up to a fence or wall are common, slopes fort interior back yards will be the responsibility of the property owner. He pointed out two large areas that are t exception and will be maintained by the Home Owners Association. Commissioner Heineman questioned the wisdom and the expectation of leaving the maintenance to t individual property owners, primarily because some of the slopes are very long, narrow, and steep. Mr. Hofman stated that this is no different than many other communities whose owners maintain their ob properties. Commissioner Heineman stated that he feels that it is most impractical to expect that a property owner v allow the Home Owners Association to dictate what he can or cannot do in his own front yard, even if the Hor Owners Association is going to maintain it. Mr. Hofman responded by stating that their concern is the slopes that are visible to all home owners will I under the control of the Association so that no one can decide not to water his lawn or cut down trees whi would make for a very poor appearance in the subdivision. Commissioner Nielsen asked Mr. Hofman if the parkway along El Camino Real is the 5 foot wide str mentioned earlier as going to be maintained by the Association, and the rest of the slope on the other side the wall as going to be maintained by the homeowner. Mr. Hofman replied affirmatively. Mr. Valles interjected and stated that the slopes are not grass. They are a low maintenance erosion contr landscape of ground cover, trees, and shrubs. Also, he continued, the developer is installing all of th landscaping and irrigation and it will be turned over to the property owner, already established. Commissioner Compas asked what would happen if the Commission decided that all of the slopes have to I maintained by the Home Owners Association. Mr. Hofman stated that their position would be that they don’t think that is necessary but if that were made requirement, they would abide by it. Regarding the Z lot, Commissioner Nielsen asked if the 5 foot easement produces a zero lot line for tt- adjacent house. Mr. Lagoni replied that the lot line is described, with the easement over it, and there is a reciprocal us easement that grants the additional use of that 5 feet. Mr. Hofman pointed out that one of the advantages of this configuration, on a typical zero lot line where tf property line is right at the house, overhanging eaves and windows are not allowed on that side of th structure. In the case of Z lots, opaque windows to allow more light into the house and overhanging eaves a1 allowed. MINUTE PLAN N I NG COMMISSION 0 July 1, 1998 0 Page With regard to the zero lot lines, Commissioner Savary asked how one property owner keeps the neighbors c of his back yard. Mr. Hofman replied that there is no access available to the neighbor on that side of his house and there will I a fence where the lots touch beyond the back of the house. Those fences will be installed by the developer. Commissioner Nielsen asked who maintains the 5 foot easement and is it the person that is enjoying tl- easement. Mr. Hofman replied that the Commissioner is correct, however, he would have to see to it that any landscapi would have to be kept far enough away from the neighbors house, so as to enable the neighbor to make a structural repairs or maintenance to his home, whenever necessary. Commissioner Compas asked if that landscaping restriction will be in the CC&Rs and Mr. Hofman replit affirmatively. Chairperson Noble opened Public Testimony. Randall B. Klotz, Attorney at Law, 701 B Street, $1255, San Diego, representing Mrs. Ida Kato, reviewed, l detail, the letter written on behalf of Mrs. Kat0 (referred to earlier by Chairperson Noble, and is on file in tl- Planning Department). Regarding the statement that Ms. Kat0 would only have 33 usable acres out of her 64 developable acre Commissioner Compas asked who told her that. Mr. Klotz referred to an attachment from Grosse Development (attached to the letter from his office on record which is a compilation of figures and which Ms. Kat0 interpreted to mean that if another Grosse Developmer plan for the development of the rest of Zone 15 is approved, she will lose 31 acres of her land. Commissioner Compas asked if Ms. Kato has discussed this with the Planning Department. Mr. Klotz stated that Ms. Kat0 just found out about this future development but has known, for some time, th: Grosse Development wants to designate some of her property as open space, possibly as much as - of he property. Now, he added, it appears that that number is closer to 50%. Robert "Pat" Kelly, 2770 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, referring to his letter to the Commissioners, dated Junc 22, 1998, (referred to earlier as being on file in the Planning Department) stated that he has a problem wit1 every one of the items requested to be approved for this project. He implied that Grosse Development Co. has been allowed to use a variety of standards (whatever is convenient at the time) for his past development as well as this proposed development, and he considers this to be unfair. Mr. Kelly objected to the proposei recision of the Specific Plan, for a variety of reasons, and proposed that if that recision is approved, then a properties within it's province should be open to review and subject to current City standards. He suggestec that the Commission go back and take a look at what was approved in 1983 or 1984 for the commercia project, they will find that this project is encroaching on many of the areas along the creek that they hac already agreed not to encroach. He directed the attention of both the Commission and staff to the Vegetatior Map for the Study Area of the 1983 EIR, which shows the kind of vegetation that needs to be protected bu which disappeared sometime during this process. He suggested that there has been no mitigation for that anc that it is being taken advantage of. Mr. Kelly reiterated his claim that the grading will adversely affect hi2 property, in several ways, one of which is access. He also stated that he has concerns regarding the Finance Plan. He asked that the Commission take a closer look at the grading proposed for the commercial portion of this project, with regard to the El Camino Real Scenic Corridor standards. Mr. Kelly stated that he is noi against the residential development, however, he feels that there is just too much grading that has to be done and, in his opinion, the dirt from the residential grading being taken to the commercial site (future development: for fill, is just another name for stockpiling. Mike Churchill, 5200 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, representing Rancho Carlsbad Partners, owners of the Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park, referred to a letter from Rancho Carlsbad to the Commission, dated June 2, 1998 (a copy of which is on file in the Planning Department). Each of the nine items listed in that letter have MINUTES PLAN N I NG COMMISSION e July 1, 1998 0 Page, been addressed and all of the issues concerning this proposed project have been resolved to the compk satisfaction of the Rancho Carlsbad Partners. In response to the letter from Randall Klotz, Mr. Hofman pointed out that Mr. Klotz was incorrect in ! statement, regarding increased density, that the plan changes the zoning on the project from Qffic hnrnercial to High Density Residential. The zoning will, in fact, change to Medium Density Residential a there is no truth to Mr. Klotz’s statement that the increased density will increase the need for open space ai lower the density on remaining Zone 15 properties. Mr. Hofman stated they are changing the General PI; Designation, only on the Grosse property and there is no change to land uses as part of this application. WI reference to the assumption that the future development of the remainder of Zone 15 will take 50% of MI that at some time in the future she might wish to join in on a Master Development that would be a golf cour development which has been in the talking stages for several years. To date, there is no application and the is no project; it has just been talk. There is no impending loss of development rights on her property. h Hofman further stated that there is nothing to prevent Mrs. Kato from developing her property or selling i: property to a developer. If she were to develop, she would not lose any density. However, she would have comply with the City’s overall Habitat Management Plan which contemplates an open space corridor throu: her property but that is subject to negotiations with the City, Fish & Wildlife Service, and with the Department Fish & Game. Regarding grading and the allegation that the grading is inconsistent with the El Camino Real Scenic Corrid Development Plan, Mr. Hofman employed the use of some overhead projections to compare what the visu effect on the corridor will be with the completion of this project as opposed to what it would be if the alreac approved commercial project were to be built. This project is much more sensitive to the scenic corridor. Regarding the allegation that they are applying for Special Use Permits to allow for grading and encroachmei into the Agua Hedionda Creek bed, Mr. Hofman stated that the allegation is positively not true. He furthc stated that they will be encroaching, slightly, into the flood-plain. He referenced Mr. Hauser’s definitions I flood-plains and flood-ways and also pointed out that the EIR covered this topic quite extensively and that has been mitigated to a level of insignificance. Mr. Hofman further stated that this project has been throus rigorous reviews by the Fish & Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish & Game and the approvals have been received. As for cumulative impacts with regard to the golf course project, which has been talked about for several year but has not yet been submitted, Mr. Hofman stated that Grosse Development would love to go ahead with th; project but he cannot do it without the cooperation of all of the property owners. The bottom line is that if MI Grosse does not get that cooperation, the golf course project will not happen. The EIR cannot addres cumulative impacts for the golf course project because it is a phantom project which does not yet exist. Addressing concerns regarding the Finance Plan, Mr. Hofman stated that none of the property owners, who ar not developing, will be subject to any financial requirements, at this point, until the time they develop. The Finance Pian was set up to be a fair share plan ensuring that only when or if other properties are developed WI they be required to pay for a fair share of the improvements. Regarding Mr. Klotz’s reference to infrastructure, Mr. Hofman pointed out that the plan very clearly states all c the zone obligations and there may or may not be fees assessed depending upon what type of district will bi there. As previously stated, for the record, Mr. Hofman once again gave assurance that Grosse Development wilt nc seek reimbursement for this pian, from any other property owners in Zone 15. Regarding Mr. Kelly’s concern with the grading plan, Mr. Hofman stated that in comparing the grading plan fc the already approved commercial center with the grading plan for this project, they found that they are virtuall identical. The grades are within .5 foot contour and is no different than what has already been approved forth site. Mr. Hofman pointed out that Mr. Kelly left the impression that the fill will be 13 feet above the streets which is not the case and indicated that the commercial site, after grading, will actually be below the level o the grade of the street. However, at the west end of the site, the grade will rise to about 4 feet above the stree level. The grading is well within the limit of the City’s standard of 8,000 cubic yards per acre with 7,500 cubic Kato’s usable property, Mr. Hofman stated that there has been some discussion with Mrs. Kato, suggestii MINUTE! PLANNING COMM l SSl ON e July 1, 1998 0 Page : yards. The City actually allows up to 10,000 cubic yards per acre with findings and this project is below t level where it has to make findings. Commissioner Welshons, referencing the letter from Mr. Klotz regarding the taking of a portion of Mrs. Kat( land for future development, asked Mr. Hofman if he or any member of his firm has even drawn up any plans have they ever seen any plans for a potential golf course for that property. Mr. Hofman replied that he andlor his associates have probably seen fifteen such preliminary plans, over mal years, but they have not drawn any of them. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hofman to show where Mrs. Kato’s property is, in relation to the possik future golf course project, Russell W. Grosse, 5850 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, owner and developer, stated that at one time he h Mrs. Kato’s property under option when they were doing some design work. Her property is up tight to Squirc Dam and is bounded by Oceanside on the other side. He further stated that, with Mrs. Kato’s consent, he diG biological analysis of the entire property and found that there is a major critter corridor that runs through h property and that is where the major concern lies in trying to develop a major concept for the over, development of the area. In response to Commissioner Welshons’ question asking who prepared the previously mentioned figurl attached to Mr. Klotz’s letter, Mr. Grosse stated that is was his company’s biologist that prepared those figurl based on their conversations with the City and in keeping with the HMP proposed plan, the Department of Fi! & Game, and the federal Fish & Wildlife Service. He added that when they prepared these figures, there was clear understanding with the City that if the property was not developed as a unit, that each individual propel owner would fall back and be responsible for their own property. Consequently, in the event that i arrangement is not made with all of the property owners to work together, then each individual property ownc stands alone and any of the work that his company has done goes away. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hofman to comment on Mr. Kelly’s reference to the 1983 Vegetation Mi and the differences in the open space as compared to what was approved in 1984. Using the overhead projections, Mr. Hofman explained that there is very little difference between the amount open space then and now. He pointed out that a piece of property that was not available in 1983, has no been acquired and is a part of this proposed project. He referred to a site on the map and explained that th was a remainder parcel that was not open space and was zoned under the General Plan for futur development. He further explained that the Agua Hedionda Creek divides that parcel and the portion north ( the creek will be developed at some point in time. Mr. Wayne stated that open space is fully explained in the staff report. Jim Hagerman, 5320 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, stated that he nor his wife, Dottie, have any objection t this development. However, they do have questions about the future shopping center, in that they hav concerns regarding, noise, deliveries, light, etc., and pointed out that they hear noise from Callaway Golf, eve at night. He requested that all of those factors be taken into consideration when the time is appropriate. Another concern is with the Finance Plan in that there are or will eventually be other public uses such a another high school and the traffic generated from it, in addition to the Water Department and their trips. MI Hagerman asked how the City will assess the street improvements when they are regional facilities and nc local facilities. Mr. Hagerman asked that the situation should be considered and the people in the are certainly should be subsidized for the needs of the regional fac Seeing no one else wishing to testify, Chairperson Noble closed Public Testimony.

MINUTE!

Commissioner Savary stated that she, too, had spoken to Mrs. Grosse and that their conversation had be the same as that described by Commissioner Heineman. Commissioners Compas and Nielsen both stated that their conversations with Mrs. Grosse were the same July 1, 1998 0 Commissioner Heinernan's. Commissioner Welshons asked Mr. Hunter exactly what the blank white space on the map is that abuts apartment complex in the rear. Mr. Hunter stated that that space belongs to Ride America and will have horse corrals. Commissioner Welshons asked what that property might be if the corrals are ever done away with. Mr. Hunter replied that it is a flood-plain and there would have to be a development proposal before ti question could be adequately answered. Commissioner Welshons asked if it could ever be a site for a gas station, supermarket, etc. Mr. Hunter replied that with the proper discretionary approvals, it could go that way. However, the constrz that would be on that property is adjacency to the creek and depending upon what kind of a crossing device used, there may be other constraints. Commissioner Nielsen stated that he has problems with the overall project; 1) although it meets minimi standards he questions whether the City really wants minimums for the scenic corridor; 2) the density; 3) 1 view corridor; 4) circulation; 5) the grading of the slopes; and 6) although it is not in the purview of t Commission, the lack of schools in the area. For those reasons, Commissioner Nielsen stated that he can1 support the project. Commissioner Compas stated that the many concerns he had, prior to this hearing, have been addressed his satisfaction and he feels that this residential project is a much better approach than the commercial projf regarding recreational space, open space, maintenance, etc., Commissioner Compas stated that he \I support the project. Commissioner Monroy stated that he will support the project for the same reasons stated by Commissior Compas. In addition, he stated that he is happy to see that they propose to build something that will sell slightly above $100 per square foot which is very reasonable for Carlsbad. Commissioner Savary stated that she is still very much concerned about the amount of recreational spa( even with the addition of the spaces earlier discussed, and the fact that there is only one entrancelexit for o\ 500 people. She also stated that she thinks the City should stay with the scenic corridor rules and regulatic and also that she is not absolutely convinced that the City has more than enough industrial land availal without this particular property and that a zone change would not be right because industrial space is getti more and more scarce and the City needs both. She further stated that she will not support the project. Commissioner Heineman, agreed with Commissioner Compas' summation of the project. He further statc that he feels that his initial concern, regarding density, has been adequately addressed and is to 1 satisfaction. Also, he stated that he feels that the addition of recreational areas, as outlined by Mr. Hofman, a very good idea. Commissioner Heineman stated that he is very pleased with the agreement to have ti that has already been approved. Alluding to the fact that the developer has agreed to all of the reque! Home Owners Association maintain the slopes as it is extremely important in keeping the project viable. W those points in mind, Commissioner Heineman stated that he will support the project. Chairperson Noble-stated that he would agree that what is proposed may not be the most ideal project for t area, but it certainly is an improvement over what was originally planned and could have been construct there. He pointed out that just because there will some dirt piled up on the commercial portion, that does r MINUTI PLANNING COMMlSSlO N. July 1, 1998 0 Page mean that it will remain there forever. As for density, Chairperson Noble stated that his home and lot smaller than those in this project and he certainly does not feel constrained in any way. Therefore, he sta that he will support the project. COmtWiOnef WelShOfls stated that she agreed with all of Commissioner Savary’s concerns and that I appreciates the concessions that the applicant has made, particularly with on the subject of the maintenai and the pedestrian access to El Camino Real and College Boulevard. However, there are some unknob regarding the commercial area behind the apartment complex and pointed out that if this Commission rescir rather than going to City Council. She further pointed out that there have been several concerns raiz regarding the fill on the property and access to other properties, and stated that she is uncomfortable accept that responsibility without knowing more about the variables. She also stated that if the fill on the commerc site is not going to remain there forever, as suggested by Chairperson Noble, then she feels that perhap may be a stockpile issue. She further stated that she feels that the apartments buildings should be m visually enhanced and that there should be more amenities to avoid the appearance of a hotel. Regarding density of the single-family residential area, Cornmissioner Welshons stated that perhaps repetitious be describes the designs and that she has a problem with so many homes that look identical, without anything break the monotony. In addition, she stated that although she is not opposed to the Z lot, she would prefei see a different product type in that area. Commissioner Welshons added that if the project is approved, thc should be signs warning that College Boulevard is not a through street, similar to the signs that warn tl Leucadia Boulevard does not go through to the freeway.

EXECUTIVE STJMMARY Purpose The purpose of this study is to estimate fiscal impacts of The Terraces at Sunny Creek, proposed 39.9-acre, 250-unit planned residential development in the Northeast Quadrant of th City of Carlsbad. Applications submitted to the city for this project include: General Pla Amendment (GPA 96-01), Specific Plan Amendment (SP 190[B]), Local Facilities Managemer Plan Amendment (LFMP 87-15[B]), Tentative Map (CT 96-02), and related planning permits This fiscal impact study is intended to satisfy the city’s information requirements for thesc applications. The ownerlapplicant of the proposed project is CanAm Properties, LLC, 5850 Avenida Encinas Suite A, Carlsbad, California 92008. Project Description The proDosed pro-iect will be located on a 39.9-acre site, located between El Camino Real and Agua Hedionda Creek, immediately east of College Boulevard. The project would subdivide the site into 172 single family lots, one multifamily lot, and one open space lot, for development of 172 single family units, second dwelling units incorporated in 28 of the single family units, and three apartment buildings with a total of 50 units. Adjacent to the project site are vacant and agricultural lands. Regional setting and location of project site are shown in Figure 1-1. In 1984, the city approved for this site a specific plan (Sycamore Creek Specific Plan) and subdivision map, providing for the development of professional/offices, restaurants, resort inn, and tennis facilities. This will be referred to as the previously approved oro-iect. Due to changes in local market conditions, the proposed project would substitute a residential development for the previously approved non-residential development. This study evaluates and compares the fiscal impacts of both proposed and previously approved projects, although the 1 1 1 II 1 I 4 3 1 II 1 1 d - - - latter is considered by the applicant to be economically infeasible at this time.

Effects on special revenue funds and enterprise fund are likely to be neutral, since charges would be levied on the project to cover the full cost o services provided under these funds. Effects on capital funds are discussed in the previously submitted application to amend the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 15. Consequently, this study does not address potential impacts to the city’s special revenue funds. enterprise funds, or the capital improvement program. Average vs. Marginal Cost Analysis This study analyzes average costs, based on the projected revenues and expenditures of the city’: general fund for the new fiscal year (FY) 1998-99. When there is sufficient unused capacitj remaining in the city’s public service infrastructure or when any required infrastructurt improvements are fully funded, average cost analysis is more conservative than marginal cos analysis, because revenues generated by the project are assumed to cover not only tht incremental cost of additional services, but also a pro rata share of fixed costs such as general government, maintenance of public buildings and grounds, and other citywide services. Infration Revenues and expenditures are estimated at buildout of the project, but computed in terms of 1998 dollars, except when the most recent data available are for previous years and when the use of such data does not lead to a significant bias in the analysis. Sunmary of Conclusions At buildout, general fund expenditures required to provide public services to the proposed residential project, including both market and affordable housing, are expected to exceed revenues generated by the project by $85,900 per year. In comparison, if the previously approved, non-residential project were feasible and developed, general fund revenues would exceed expenditures by $39,400 per year (Table 1-1). OP/E 149 3 The Terraces at Sunny Creek FIS 0 e I Property taxes represent the largest source of revenues to the general fund, followed by sale tax revenues. The largest expenditure category is public safety (police and fire protection) followed by community services (recreation , library, and seniors programs) for the proposec residential project and public works for the previously approved non-residential project. A discussed below, the resort inn contemplated under the previously approved project is a for-sale condominium facility, which is not expected to generate any transient occupancy tax. The estimated shortfall in general fund revenues associated with the proposed project is due largely to two factors. First, the project contains a high proportion of affordable housing, Ou of a total of 250 residential units, 78 units, or 3 1.2 %, are. affordable. This substantially exceed! the City’s requirement that a minimum of 15% of a project’s total housing units be affordable Provision of affordable housing in excess of the minimum required is a condition for transferrin: residential units to the project site from the “excess dwelling unit bank” in accordance with City Council Policy No. 43. However, since affordable units would necessarily have low assessed values and generate low property taxes, their presence increases the shortfall of general fund revenues relative to expenditures for public services. Second, in the tax rate area where the project is located (TRA 9125), the city’s share of the 1 % property tax is approximately 13.9%. This is substantially less than the citywide average of around 19% (based on data from the City of Carlsbad and County of San Diego Auditor and Controller). Since property tax is the largest component of general fund revenues generated by a residential project, differences in the allocation of the 1 % property tax have a substantial effect on the project’s estimated fiscal impact. As an illustration of this effect, expenditures associated with only the 172 single family, market housing would exceed estimated revenues by $39,600 (Table 1-1). If, however, property tax revenues were to be calculated using the city’s average share, or 19%, the estimated general fund shortfall would decline to $14,300. Similarly, the estimated shortfall for the project as a whole would decline to $58,200, and net surplus associated with the previously approved project would increase to $72,200.

By letter dated June 15, 1998, we notified the City that the Cantarini Ranch generally supports th efforts of Russell Grosse Development and Hofman Planning to prepare the Zone 15 LFMP Amendment. Last week, we received information that raises serious concerns about the validity of the GrosseiHofman Zone 15 LFMP Amendment, which was recently approved by the Carlsbac Planning Commission. Since the LFMI? Amendment will be considered by the City Council as part of the Terraces deveiopment application, we would appreciate St& addressing the problem Terraces At Sunny Creek, LFMP 87-15 (€3) . AGENDA ITEM # T---7. .. .,.- by requesting clarification and direction from the Council at this time. Specifically, the Carlsbad Planning Department’s September 29, 1998 response letter to our Cantarini project preliminary review (PIE 98-44) concluded that, except for a very small portion of the property designated as “Area A”, development of the 141-acre Cantarini property will be limited to 1/2-acre minimum lot sizes. It also concluded that slope areas of 25% or greater (rather than the current 40%+ standard) are not developable. As stated in the letter, these conclusions were based on the Staffs interpretation of the Sunny Creek Specific Plan (SP-191) and “past Council direction”. The letter further states that Planning Staff could not be supportive of a subdivision proposal with less than V2-acre lots. While we recognize a preliminary review is, by definition, limited in its scope, the principal conclusions of S taf€’s September 29 response letter substantively contradict the fundamental assumptions on which the Grosse/Hofinan LFiMp Amendment is based. In particular, the LFMP Amendment “assumes development to occur at the Growth Management Control Point for these areas” (page 18), which is 2 88 d.u /acre for Cantarini and 1 d u /acre for the adjacent Mandana and Kat0 properties (Exhibit 14). However, based on the interpretation of SP-191 presented in the September 29 letter, development of these properties could only achieve a fraction of the GMCP densities. (Supporting analysis: the LFMP assumes a GVCP density for Cantarini of 351 lots. Based on constraints analyses and lomng studies, if the I/2ucre minimm lot size restriction ts applied to Cantarini tt would limit that property’s development density to less than 100 lots. Similarly, the GMCP densities of the Kat0 and Mmahna propertzes total 229 units. AppIying Stafs’s interpretation of SP-191 to those properties, each at Idw./acre, will result in an estimated total development density for the two properties of little more than IO0 lots.) 4A ‘T2xFsEA-z .zE>qrlq - 33-z. 5 .,35i?*. ,A2 3;s- 3 ~2c.~~:s 2; -5 0 0 -- -_ Accordhgjy, if the Staff interpretation of SP-191 presented in the September 29 letter prevails, the basis for the conclusions and forecasts presented in the GrosselHofinan LFMP Amendment are oEby a factor of about 3. That being the case, the conclusions of the Grosse/Hofinan LFMP Amendment are wholly unreliable and grossly misleading. As a consequence, it would appear tha local property owner support and Planning Commission approval of that Amendment were based on false assumptions and misleading information. More fhdamentally, under this overly restrictive interpretation of SP- 19 1, development and developer-funded public facilities for the majority of the Zone 15 area are not financially feasible. Based on the available infomation, it is our belief that the conflicts described above are simply tht result of the limited analysis of the preliminary review rather than a broader problem with the LFMP Amendment. As appears intuitive in recent St& and Commission actions supporting the LFMP Amendment, development of the Cantarini and other Zone 15 properties in SP-19 1 is more reasonably represented by Growth Management Controi Point densities. Our October 8, 1998 response letter (from Bob Ladwig, Ladwig Design Group, Inc.) to Staff Planner Barbara Kennedy offers justification for interpreting, and/or supporting amendments to, the Sunny Creek Specific Plan to allow development densities on the Cantarini and adjacent Zone 15 properties that approximate the Growth Management Control Point. In any event, clear direction from City Council at this time would eliminate contradictions and inconsistencies between the current Zone 15 LFMP Amendment and the ambiguous 13-year old SP-191. Consequently, in conjunction with the Terraces project review, we respectmy suggest that the Staff request clarification and direction from the City Council regarding support for interpreting or amending SP-191 in ways that will allow development of these Zone 15 properties to achieve the current Growth Management Control Point densities, as is assumed by the Planning Commission approved Zone 15 LFMi? Amendment. Alternatively, if the City cannot support development in the Sunny Creek area of Zone 15 at the GMCP densities, the Grosse/Hofhan LFMP Amendment should not be approved by the Council in its current form.

Grading of the entire site, including significantly raising the commercial portion adjacent to our home, will presuppose a number of critical design aspects of the future commercial development. A key element is final pad elevation. Raising commercial pad height for no other reason other than for visibility or better exposure is prohibited in Carlsbad. This creates a visual impact issue which cannot be adequately addressed without a site plan to review. How the Environmental Impact Report, and Scenic Corridor standards can adequately address visual impact in this case is unclear. If it is a question to us, why would it not be a question to the staff or EIR consultant? 2. ingress and egress, a critical issue to us since we must share this access. In addition to our home, we own 10 adjacent acres designated for residential development by the General Plan. Again, comprehensive planning seem to dictate accommodation of continuing adequate access for our home, as well as area portion of the Specific Plan, we simply do not have any assurance of adequate future access. In summary, we do not oppose the subject development. We do oppose the seeming lack of comprehensive planning for the site. If the entire site was included in the application package before you, we would have had the opportunity (and so would you) to see how pad elevation and site access were being addressed. We simply request that you require the project application package before you to include a site plan for the commercial portion of the Specific Plan area. With this inclusion we will have some assurance of comprehensive planning and the opportunity to review and respond to the plan proposal with all relevant information. Respectfully submitted, It is also unclear precisely how this raising of pad level will impact site future additional homes in the area.

If the council approves the Terraces At Sunny Creek project whic includes the EIR on the Terraces as well as a limited EIR on Sunny Creek Plaza, doe it make the EIR on the commercial site final?

If the council approves the grading plan for the Terraces which includes i stockpile permit for the commercial site, is the stockpiling of dirt permanent to the site‘ If so, a final decision is being made with regard to the commercial site without benef of a site development plan or public forum. If the stockpile is not permanent, will i future site development plan be based on the “before” condition of the commercial sitt as it currently exists or the “after” condition of the site once massive grading has taker place? Does council have the authority to order the removal of dirt so stockpiled? Reaardinq auestion #2: b. c. a. How do the original requirements of ,the 1985 EIR differ from the curreni site development plan for the Terraces At Sunny Creek? In the original EIR 14.8 acres were to be dedicated open space. Where is that dedicated land? The original specific plan addressed environmental impact to area: beyond the perimeter of the Terraces and Sunny Creek Plaza. The current EIF addresses only environmental concerns within the boundaries of those projects. How do the projects affect the surrounding area? Is there mitigation outside those boundaries? Where? Has staff compared the biological report from the original specific plan with the current plan? Has the habitat changed? How? How much? Why? Were these changes sanctioned by the City? b. c. 0-0 0 0 5320 Sunny Creek Road Carlsbad, CA 92008 All Receive-Agenda kern # 6 For the Information of the: AsstCLCA mycom~c~ November 3, 1998 Blrtemity M~&ZQ Mayor Lewis Mayor Pro Tern Finnila Members of the City Council TERRACES AT SUNNY CREEK - EIR 98lOlGPA 96-01/ZC 96-01/SP 19O(B)/LFMP 87-1 S(B)/CT 96-02/SDP 97-02/PUD 96-O2/HDP 96-02 We attended the Planning Commission hearings on the Terraces at Sunny Creek and have reviewed the Planning Commission and City staff recommendations for approval of this project.

Why Do The Kellvs Care? As Pat and Karen Kclly have said on several occasions, they are not opposed to the residmtial projd Neither are they opposed, in concept, to the idea of there being a commercial project so= time in the futuse on the commercial site. Their con- is that the topographic changes being requested to the commercial site, at W time, without full appreciation of the entire commercial project, may permaneMy injure their rights. Their concerns are: (a) &ts ofvehioular access, including ingress and egress, for the Kelly properly itse& sam of which is the site of possible future belobent; and (b) ohr impacts of an adjoining commercial project, including elevation, bulk and scale of buildings, noise, dm traf€ic and the like.

Most important, they want to be sure lbat the proposed earthwork w the commercial developtnent site does not perman& ebte or duly dn either the first OT second meam of likely vehicular access fiom the Kelly prqerty to the Carlsbad circulatim system. 2. wha;tq? The staffreport and agenda bill contain rwxmmendatim for approval by the Council. Those recummeadations suggest adopting the resolutions previouSly approved by the Planning Comission (which approval was by the narrow margin of 4-3). correspondence &om &, the Kellys have been told that no permanent decision is bebg made at this time regarding, their accass rights, and that ke is no final decision being made regarding the grading of the commercd Site. In their pre-hearing discussions with staf€inrecent days, and in We still believing that better planning would defer any action on the commercial sitc at tbis time, the Kellys believe that, at least, the reassurances and statements about (i) respecting their right of access and (ii) that the earthwork elevation and final grading ofthe commercial site are not being flnnUy approved, be reitmaBd on the record. Further, since one of the matters for approval is HDP 96-02, which resolution from the Planning Commission includes a requiremeIlt for a Stockpile Pennit, the KeUys believe that some additional words should be added by the City Council to make it clear that this ednvork change to the CO~UI~XG~~~ s@e is not penmanent; and, specifically, that the elevation of the commerciat site may need to be lowered &z., some dirt removed) in order to rcspcct the rights of adjoining larzdowneds including the.

Pl- Process. We have reviewed and discussed with the Kellys thc memo h the Planning Department tq Council dated November 12, addressing Robert Pat KeU.s questions. The second gmnmatiical paragraph in response to ques~on 1 a cbniains some comforting words, indicating that no final decision regaxding the gtading of the cmrnnercial site is to be derived fiom the proposed Council action on this project. Those are the sort of assminces which should be made a matter of record dmhg the hearing tanight. It is troubling, however* to see an apparently conflicting statemmt being made in the staff memo in the penulthta sxx&me of response to question 1 c, which appears to state that the proposed grading-wadd be permanent Hop&&, that is a typographical mistake, and if so it should be coxmcted In the larger picture, it does seem a little strange that the staffmemo uses porhons (not the entuety) of the original specific; plan as pstdicaticm for proposed action, when the proposed approval will itselfnegate mcl void the entirety ofthe ori& Specific Plan ***** In Summaryz the Kellys are concenied that no pamanent decisions be made today which will permanently impact or compromise tlieir rights of access for their land, or constitute a "pre- age^" as to the: elevation and impact of the commer&l project. A principal issue is, in essence, one of fining. The Kellys would feel safest and best protected ifno changes to the commercial site were discussed or approved in advance of a thorough review by City Council of the 6 ccwrmercial project. To the extent, however, that some interim graduy is, being authorized by the Council for the commercial site, then it is at least important and fair for the Kelly& that those changes be clearly labeled as temporary, and that there be qproph achowiedpent on the recd that their rights of access and other rights refkemed above have not been compromised and m be fuuy protected in W future. - - - - - - - - I-- I.1.Ya.i -)i 0 SHEPPARD, MULLIN, RICHTER & HAMPTON UP November 17,1998 Page 4 We trmt that you and the City Coux~ciI will appropriste3y address those contents.

We are writing this letter in a pro-active manner in hopes of effecting the development of areas that we visit while riding. In particular, the area east of El Camino Real; south of Calavera Lake and Park; and north of Palomar Airport Road. We need dedicated trails in Carlsbad that are designed with horses in mind. During the past 10 years there has been a decrease of ride-able areas and now most horses that reside in Carlsbad are located in the Sunny Creek Rd. area. Enclosed you will find: e A proposed trail map to include equestrian use with three trails shown. ~ Trail brochures from other agencies. Photographs of the pristine trails on and around Sunny Creek Rd. a Horses are a historical part of the settlement of this area and of this country. Please help us to preserve this aspect of our community by keeping a recreational amenity that enhances the City of Carlsbad and follows what other cities have done to further the regional trail system. We are available to discuss these issues with you at your earliest convenience and would appreciate any assistance in our endeavor. We'll be contacting you next week to schedule an appointment.
