provided for in Government Code Section 65452. The development standards sc
in this document go one step further, and constitute the applicable zoning regulati
the specific plan area, and are adopted in ordinance form in order to superse
otherwise applicable zoning regulations.
The Poinsettia ProDerties SDecific Plan as adoDted bv the Citv of Carlsba

As called out both in the Vision and Goals section of this plan, a trail system which blei

To encourage non vehicular movement within the community, a system of pedestrian pa
and trails have been developed. These trails and parkways allow residents to move
about the Poinsettia Properties communities and access both the open space and reci
amenities provided. This trail system is also designed to tie into a fbture citywide trail s
if one is developed. In addition, trails will be designed to provide pedestrian acces

C. Mixed-use Pedestrian LinWCorridors
This area is the pedestrian element designed within the public street between P1
Areas 5 and 6. Links and corridors shall be established to encourage pedestrian
and exchange between Planning Areas 5,6 and the Poinsettia Transit Station
shall be accomplished through the use of sidewalks, canopy trees, landscaping, (
eating areas, gathering areas and other elements to encourage pedestrian and
activity. Exhibit 21 on page 59 provides a vignette of the types of public ga
places that could be designed along this corridor. The average width ofthis c
will be lo', although this area could be expanded at public gathering places. P
of this area shall be counted toward satisfaction of the specific plan's overa

Director in conjunction with other discretionary permit applications.

3. ACCESS TO PARKWAYS AND TRAIL SYSTEMS
Because there is a need to provide certain sound walls, privacy walls, and private yard fe
there is a need to define access points to the system of parkways and trails in order to ma
the TOD principles. Conceptual points and type of access are shown on Exhibit 14, p;
and further defined below:
a. Avenida Encinas Pedestridben SDace Parkway
This parkway is intended to be a public pedestrian parkway. Access to this pa
within the specific plan area will be at two points.
(1) The entry of Planning Area 4 (which may be combined with Planning,
and 3) will be an unrestricted public access Doint. %s-mtrp
(2) The Planning Area 6 public street and mixed-use pedestrian
1inWcomdor will be an unrestricted public access point.
b. Railroad PedestriadODen SDace Parkway
Unrestricted public access will be provided at Poinsettia Lane and at the Poi
Transit Station. Because the eastern boundary of this parkway will be boundc private sound wall, cemn private access gates shall be located and constructec

Plan will not have neighborhood walls at locations of principal pedestrian access fi

The walls and fences for the Poinsettia Properties Specific Plan area are divided i
categories: Community Themeplanning kea Noise Attenuation Wall, and Pro
Fencing. All wall types combine community theme pilasters in appropriate areas. EA
page 52, shows the general location of these walls.
The design and architectural elements of all walls and fencing shall be compati
