CREATING new regulations for community facilities uses and ADOPT Resolution No. &?Oct/-cP’L/ APPROVING GPA 99- 02/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02. ITEM EXPLANATION: This project consists of several text changes to the General Plan and to the City’s Zoning regulations. The primary changes have to do with creating a new “CF” (Community Facilities) General Plan designation and a new “C-F” (Community Facilities) Zone. The other changes are two General Plan housekeeping items which have been included in this package for convenience of processing. The first of these is a clarification of the existing wording regarding allowed density in special circumstances. The second is a correction of a typographical error. The Community Facilities changes and the density clarification are explained below. Community Facilities The adopted General Plan Land Use Element contains wording which requires new master plans and residential specific plans to reserve areas for community-serving uses (e.g., child day care, places of worship). The General Plan also contains a policy which directs that the amount of acreage to be reserved be addressed through an amendment to the P-C (Planned Community) Zone. Staff relied on this existing wording to negotiate the inclusion of community facilities areas since 1994. The resulting land reservations have varied widely in size, time period, and uses allowed. Therefore, staff is now proposing to establish specific development standards for these areas through creation of a new zone and to create a corresponding new General Plan land use designation. Staff is also proposing minor wording changes to the existing P-C (Planned Community) Zone and to the Conditional Uses regulations to ensure consistency throughout the Municipal Code with regard to community facilities uses. The proposed community facilities General Plan amendment would create a “CF” (Community Facilities) land use designation and establish a goal, objective, and policies for the designation. This goal, objective, and policies require that master plans and residential specific plans reserve community facilities sites for a sufficient period of time to allow supporting uses to develop. The details of the community facilities requirements are in the proposed Zone Code Amendment. The ZCA would create a new zone chapter (“C-F” Community Facilities Zone, Chapter 21.25) which would be the primary implementing regulations for community facilities. The new chapter calls for land reservations in all new master plans, in all new residential specific plans of greater than 100 acres, and in existing master/residential specific plans if the applicant proposes an amendment to at least 100 acres of undeveloped property. The reservation time period being proposed is ten years commencing when final inspections have been approved for all of the units in the first residential planning area. The proposed uses include a range of types, including child daycare, places of worship, and other similar uses. A stand-alone child daycare facility would require approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP). All other uses would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The proposed text changes to the P-C Zone and the Conditional Uses regulations are necessary in order to maintain consistency throughout the Code with regard to the C-F regulations. I PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. ]&,I ;;\3 Density Clarification The General Plan currently contains a discussion of the density to be allowed on sites with exceptional circumstances (situations wherein the zoning is consistent with the General Plan but would allow a slightly higher yield than that recommended in the RL and RLM density classifications). The existing wording was intended to allow additional units on in-fill sites with this circumstance. City Council Policy No. 43 supports this intent. However, the existing General Plan wording is somewhat confusing and, when applied literally, actually further restricts allowed density rather than allowing additional density as it was intended to do. Therefore, staff is proposing a minor wording change which would clarify the maximum density allowed in these exceptional circumstances and would correct the calculation wording error. This item was first heard by the Planning Commission at a public hearing on November 15, 2000. It was continued to December 6, 2000, then to January 3, 2001, and then to a date uncertain. It was heard again by the Planning Commission on February 7, 2001. At that hearing the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed new and revised language. ENVIRONMENTAL: The Planning Director determined that this project will not have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, issued a Negative Declaration on August 28, 2000. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the proposed project would have no fiscal impact on the City. EXHIBITS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

CASE NAME: COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE CASE NO.: ZCA 99-02 The City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, does ordain as follows: SECTION I: That Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code is amended by the addition of Chapter 21.25 to read as follows: “CHAPTER 21.25 COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE Sections: 21.25.010 Intent and Purpose 2 1.25.020 Applicability 21.25.030 Time Period of Reservation 21.25.040 Uses Permitted by Site Development Plan 21.25.050 Uses Permitted by Conditional Use Permit 21.25.060 Limitations on Permitted Uses 21.25.070 Minimum Requirements For Community Facilities Area 21.25.080 Building Height 21.25.090 Yards 21.25.100 Location Standards 21.25.110 Required Notification 21.25.120 Severability 21.25.010 Intent and Purpose. The intent and purpose of the C-F, community facilities, zone is: (1) to ensure that all master plans and residential specific plans (i.e., specific plans which include residential units) reserve community facilities sites of adequate size for uses which benefit the community as a whole by satisfying social/religious/human service needs; (2) to identify those uses which can be utilized to satisfy the community facilities uses requirements in master plans pursuant to Chapter 21.38 of this Code and residential specific plans; and, (3) to establish development standards for community facilities uses in master plans and residential specific plans. 21.25.020 Applicability. This chapter applies as follows: (1) This chapter applies to those properties developed through a new master plan pursuant -l- 3 to Chapter 21.38 of this Code approved after the effective date of this ordinance. (2) This chapter applies to those properties developed through a new residential specific plan (a specific plan which includes residential units) of at least 100 gross acres approved after the effective date of this ordinance. (3) This chapter applies to any master plan or residential specific plan approved prior to the effective date of this ordinance for which an application for amendment involving at least 100 gross acres of undeveloped land is made by the property owner. (4) Master plans and residential specific plans approved prior to the effective date of this ordinance and not described in Subsection 21.25.020(3) above may satisfy their community facilities requirements (if any) as required by those approved master plans or specific plans. 21.25.030 Time period of reservation. As part of the master plan or residential specific plan application, the developer shall designate a portion(s) of the site for community facilities uses. The community facilities designation shall be for a minimum time period of ten (10) years. The ten (10) year time period shall commence when final inspections have been approved for 100% of the units in the first residential planning area in the master plan or specific plan. There shall be no automatic reversion of the community facilities site to other uses. If, at the end of the ten (10) year reservation period, community facilities have not developed in the community facilities designated area, then the developer may make an application for a major master plan amendment to eliminate the community facilities site(s) or to designate a different site(s) of the master plan or residential specific plan for such uses. If the developer proposes to eliminate the community facilities area, he shall demonstrate why it is infeasible that the designated area will ever develop with community facilities uses. If the developer proposes to designate a different site(s) for the community facilities uses, he shall demonstrate why the proposed alternative location is better than the originally-designated location. If an alternative location(s) is proposed, the total amount of acreage for the community facilities uses shall not be reduced from the originally-designated acreage. 21.25.040 Uses permitted by site development plan. Notwithstanding any other wording to the contrary, a stand-alone child daycare facility is permitted subject to the approval of a Site Development Plan pursuant to Chapter 21.06. If any office area is proposed with the use, the office area must be ancillary to the main use; it cannot be the principal use. If a child daycare facility is developed in conjunction with another community facilities use which requires a conditional use permit, then the requirement for a site development plan for the child daycare use is waived. 21.25.050 Uses permitted by conditional use permit. Subject to the provisions of Chapter 21.50, and notwithstanding any other wording to the contrary, the following uses are permitted by conditional use permit in the C-F zone.

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The summary of environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact,” or “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. lzl Land Use and Planning lzl Transportation/Circulation El Public Services 0 Population and Housing 0 Biological Resources q Utilities & Service Systems El Geological Problems 0 Energy & Mineral Resources 0 Aesthetics 0 Water 0 Hazards 0 Cultural Resources q Air Quality cl Noise cl Recreation El Mandatory Findings of Significance Rev. 03/28/96 18 DETERMINATION. (To be completed by the Lead Agency) El 0 0 III 0 I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An EIR is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, -a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared. 8-67)-~ Date Planning Directorr%Signat@e Date *‘z”‘O 19 Rev. 03/28/96 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A “No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. “Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies. “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. Based on an “EIA-Part II”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, but @ potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance). When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR. A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. 3 20 Rev. 03/28/96 l If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared. l An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and including but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a level of significance. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. 4 $1 Rev. 03/28/96 Issues (and Supporting Information Sources). I.

EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets: a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. 4 Mitigation measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,“ describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site- specific conditions for the project. 10 d7 Rev. 03128196 DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The proposed project consists of a General Plan amendment and a zone code amendment to require reservation of sites for “community facilities” uses in all new master plan developments and residential specific plan developments and a clarification of existing General Plan wording regarding allowed density. The proposed General Plan amendment would add some discussion of the nature of community facilities uses and set out the required size of such sites. The proposed zone code amendment includes 1) changes to the existing P-C Zone to add the wording requiring reservation of a site(s) for community facilities uses; and, 2) creation of a new “C-F” (Community Facilities) zone to identify the uses which will be considered community facilities and to establish development standards for the zone. The uses which will be allowed to satisfy the community facilities requirement are all currentlv-allowed uses. No new uses are being identified with the proposed amendments. The effect of the new regulations will be only to require that some uses be anticipated in new master plans and residential specific plans. During the processing of master plan and residential specific plan development applications, staff has previously negotiated the reservation of sites for uses considered beneficial to serve the proposed new development. These have usually included child day care facilities and places of worship, among other uses. Staff is now proposing to codify this reservation of sites into a requirement. The second part of the amendment would clarify existing General Plan wording regarding density in some exceptional cases. There are some sites in the City which have consistent General Plan and zoning designations, but which would be allowed a slightly higher yield by their zoning than would be allowed by the General Plan. The General Plan anticipated these situations and includes specific wording which gives the City Council authority to allow density of up to 25% above the top of the otherwise allowed range subject to certain findings. However, the adopted wording is confusing. The proposed amendment would correct this confusion by revising the wording in the General Plan. (No zone code amendment is necessary.) ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS A. NON-RELEVANT ITEMS I. Land Use and Planning The proposed amendments will have the effect of requiring that new residential master and specific plan communities provide sites for community facilities such as places of worship and day care centers. All of the uses to be required are uses which are already allowed in the City, and have historically been included in master plans and specific plans through project negotiation. Therefore, codification of this requirement is not in conflict with any applicable General Plan, zoning, or environmental regulations. In fact, codification of this requirement is being done to implement wording already in the adopted General Plan which directs this action. The creation of this requirement, and the development standards for the community facilities uses, will not affect agricultural uses or disrupt any established communities, and will not be incompatible with any existing land uses. The requirement for community facilities would apply only to new master plans and residential specific plans. The second part of the amendment (the clarification of existing wording) will not result in any changes to the General Plan policies or 11 a8 Rev. 03/28/96 zoning regulations or to how those policies and regulations have been implemented historically. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any potentially significant impacts to land use and planning. II. Population and Housing The proposed project will not result in any potentially significant impacts to population or housing in the city. No development is being proposed, and the inclusion of community facilities uses within communities by requirement, rather than by chance, would not be expected to result in any growth beyond that already anticipated by the City’s General Plan. The second part of the amendment (the clarification of existing wording) will not result in any changes to the General Plan policies or zoning regulations or to how those policies and regulations have been implemented historically. III. Geologic Problems The proposed amendments are not specific to any site, but could apply citywide. Also, no development is being proposed, and no sites are being identified for specific uses through these amendments. Also, the proposed amendments will not change any regulations, policies, standards, or guidelines already in place which affect geologic conditions or the prevention/handling of geologic problems. The ultimate placement of any future uses will be reviewed and considered at the time a master plan or specific plan application is submitted, just as it is under the current regulations. The proposed project would only ensure that, among the uses proposed by the developer, a day care site and possibly another community facilities use site would be reserved for a particular time period. Detailed analysis of site conditions and possible development impacts will be evaluated at the time a project application is submitted. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any potentially significant geological impacts. IV. Water The proposed amendments are not specific to any site, but could apply citywide. Also, no development is being proposed, and no sites are being identified for specific uses through these amendments. Also, the proposed amendments will not change any regulations, policies, standards, or guidelines already in place which affect or address water conditions or the prevention/handling of problems related to water bodies, absorption rates, hazards, discharge, turbidity, or the availability of water. The ultimate placement of any future uses will be reviewed and considered at the time a master plan or specific plan application is submitted, just as it is under the current regulations. The proposed project would only ensure that, among the uses proposed by the developer, a day care site and possibly another community facilities use site would be reserved for a particular time period. Detailed analysis of site conditions and possible development impacts will be evaluated at the time a project application is submitted. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any potentially significant water impacts. VI. Transportation/Circulation The proposed project is not specific to any site and could apply any place within the City. However, no development is proposed through this project. Provision of community facilities within master plans and residential specific plans might reasonably be expected to reduce any traffic/circulation impacts resulting from those developments by ensuring that some necessary services are located in close proximity to the residential development reducing the number and/or distance of vehicle trips. However, any master plan or specific plan application will be analyzed in detail for potential transportation/circulation impacts when an application is submitted. In addition, the proposed project will not alter in any way the City regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines already in place which require provision of adequate and timely circulation facilities. By requiring that community facilities uses be placed within master planned 4 a 12 Rev. 03/28/96 d/ communities, the total number of trips generated in a given area may even be reduced. Therefore, the proposed project will not have any potentially significant transportation/circulation impacts. VII. Biological Resources The proposed amendments are not specific to any site. They could apply any place in the City. Any master plan or specific plan application will be analyzed in detail for potential impacts to biological resources. However, the code amendments proposed currently (the “project”) will not have any impact on biological resources. VIII. Energv and Mineral Resources The proposed amendments are not site-specific and could apply anywhere in the City. The proposed project will not create any new uses (i.e., uses not currently allowed in the City), and no development is proposed through this project. Any development proposed in the future will be analyzed in detail for potential impacts to energy and mineral resources. IX. Hazards The proposed project is not specific to any site and could apply any place within the City. However, no development is proposed through this project. In addition, the project will not create any new uses (i.e., uses not currently allowed in the City). The uses which would be allowed to satisfy the community facilities use requirement (e.g., places of worship, child dare care facilities, etc.) are uses which typically do not present any risk of explosion, release of hazardous substances, etc. However, any development proposed in the future will be analyzed in detail for potential hazard impacts. Therefore, the proposed project does not result in any potentially significant hazards impacts. X. Noise The proposed amendments are not specific to any site. They could apply any place in the City. Any master plan or specific plan application will be analyzed in detail for potential noise impacts. In addition, the proposed Code amendments specifically address the need for consideration of compatibility of the community facilities uses. Compatibility concerns would include, among other things, noise impacts to neighboring uses. However, the code amendments proposed currently (the “project”) will not have any noise impacts. XI. Public Services No development is proposed through this project. Under the City’s adopted growth management regulations, all development in the City is required to provide all necessary public facilities and services concurrent with development. This requirement would not be altered by the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in potentially significant impacts to public services. XII. Utilities and Services Systems No development is proposed through this project. Under the City’s adopted growth management regulations, all development in the City is required to provide all necessary public facilities and services concurrent with development. This requirement would not be altered by the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in potentially significant impacts to public utilities and services systems. XIII. Aesthetics The proposed amendments are not specific to any site. They could apply any place in the City. Any master plan or specific plan application will be analyzed in detail for potential aesthetic 3n 3u Rev. 03128196 impacts. In addition, the proposed Code amendments specifically address the need for consideration of compatibility of the community facilities uses. Compatibility concerns would include, among other things, aesthetic impacts of any proposed uses. However, the code amendments proposed currently (the “project”) will not have any aesthetic impacts. XIV. Cultural Resources The proposed amendments are not specific to any site. They could apply any place in the City. Any master plan or specific plan application will be analyzed in detail for potential impacts to cultural resources. However, the code amendments proposed currently (the “project”) will not have any impact on cultural resources. xv. Recreational The proposed amendments will only require that future residential master plans and specific plans provide sites for needed community facilities. Provision of recreational sites and/or facilities is already a requirement of development in the City, and the currently required amounts and types of such uses would not be altered in any way by the additional requirement for community facilities. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in impacts to recreational demand or opportunities. B. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DISCUSSION V. Air Oualitv In 1994 the City prepared and certified an EIR which analyzed the impacts which will result from the build-out of the City under an updated General Plan. That document concludes that continued development to build-out as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts in the form of increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle miles traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin”, any additional air emissions are considered cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to build-out as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region. To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan build-out, a variety of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measures to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demand Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5) participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable and appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for air quality impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all projects covered by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR. This project is within the scope of that MEIR. This 14 Rev. 03/28/96 3 document is available at the Planning Department. VI. TransnortationKirculation In 1994 the City prepared and certified a Master EIR which analyzed the impacts which would result from the build-out of the City under an updated General Plan. That document concluded that continued development to build-out as proposed in the updated General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate build-out traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections are projected to fail the City’s adopted Growth Management performance standards at build-out. To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan build-out, numerous mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation strategies when adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the failure of intersections at build-out of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for circulation impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all projects covered by the General Plan’s Master EIR. This project is within the scope of that MEIR. This document is available at the Planning Department. 15 Rev. 03/28/96 32 EARLIER ANALYSES USED The following documents were used in the analysis of this project and are on file in the City of Carlsbad Planning Department located at 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California, 92008, (760) 602-4600. 1.

In those exceptional cases, the City may find that the project is consistent with this element :C:, general land uses and programs expressed herein, b) all of the necessary infrastructure is in place to support the project, and c) the proposed density does not exceed the maximum density allowed at the top of the range by more than an additional 25%. Page 16 - insert text following Affordable Housing;, and before Commercial 2. COMMUNITY FACILITIES Facilities for child care providers, places of worship, senior citizens, charities, and a range of other community-serving activities are not traditional residential, industrial, or commercial land uses. Nevertheless, these activities and land uses are important and traditional members of any vital and fully functioning community. Because the organizations which pursue these activities are open non-profit or quasi-for-pro@, their financial resources are oflen limited. The land within large-scale developments planned and marketed for upscale homes, shopping centers, and industrial campuses is very ofren not affordable to these organizations, making it likely that these types of facilities cannot be easily incorporated into the community. The development of large new residential communities through new master plans and spec@c plans creates an additional needfor these community facilities uses in close proximity to the new residences. The purpose of the Community Facilities land use designation is to assure that some land within communities, especially new masterplan and specific plan areas, is identtfied and set aside solely for these types of uses, spectycally with the objective that market forces will ensure that the land so designated will remain aflordable to the organizations which build and operate these special community facilities. Further, once the land is set aside, there is a need to guarantee that it does not revert to other uses before the community is sufficiently developed to make use of and 1 38 provide financial support for the community facilities. To these ends, specific objectives and policies have been set out for community facilities uses. Pages 16 - 20 - re-number to accommodate the insertion of a new #2, above.

I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4853 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of a Negative Declaration and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4854,4855, and 4856 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of GPA 99-01, ZCA 99-02, and LCPA 99-02 based upon the findings contained therein. II. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION This item was presented at the public hearing on November 15, 2000. After taking public testimony and discussing the proposed General Plan and Zoning amendments, the Planning Commission had some concerns about the equity of the proposed wording with regard to already- approved master plans and residential specific plans. Staff suggested that the item be continued and that staff reevaluate the proposed wording and ensure that the requirements are equitable. The item was then continued to December 6,2000, then to January 3, 2001, and finally to a date uncertain. During that time staff has made several changes to both the proposed General Plan wording and the proposed zoning wording. The proposed General Plan wording has been revised to be less specific. Staff believes this change is appropriate in that the General Plan is a policy document and the zoning (Title 21) is the implementing document. Therefore, it is appropriate that the specific standards and requirements be contained in the zoning text but not in the General Plan text. The proposed zoning wording has also been revised. The original wording established the size of the community facilities area based upon the acreage in the plan area. Staff evaluated several other means of establishing the size of the community facilities area (e.g., the number of units possible in the plan area). However, staff believes that a formula based upon the net developable acreage in the plan area provides the best equity between new master plans and new residential specific plans because it ensures that non-residential portions of the plan are also considered. Staff has revised the acreage requirement formula for plans being amended. It now bases the reservation area requirement only on the amount of acreage being amended. This ensures that GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCfA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE February 7,200l Page 2 the amended area does not have to offset any previous shortfall or lack of community facilities reservation. (By the same token then, an amendment area would not receive “credit” for any community facilities areas existing in the portion not being amended.) Also revised were the requirements for a child daycare facility. Previously that use was to be allowed by right. Upon further consideration, staff believes the use should require approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP) if developed as a “stand-alone” facility. All other community facilities uses require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). If the child daycare use is provided as part of another community facilities use, the SDP requirement would be waived. Finally, staff has made a wording change to the community facilities zone and a related change to the Conditional Uses regulations (Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code). The Conditional Uses chapter of the Code lists the uses allowed in the City by conditional use permit and the zones in which they may be developed. This chapter currently contains wording which might be confusing with regard to the C-F Zone because it appears to allow uses by CUP in the C-F Zone which are not intended to be allowed there. Therefore, staff has added wording to both the C-F Zone text and the Conditional Uses chapter to clarify the allowed uses. Staff has attached revised resolutions and exhibits for the GPA, ZCA, and LCPA. The revised resolutions (4854, 4855, and 4856) have been changed to reflect references to their revised attachments (exhibits). The revised exhibits (Exhibit W Revised, Exhibit X Revised, and Exhibit A Revised) contain the revised wording for the General Plan text and zoning text. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Therefore, it is appropriate that the specific standards and requirements be contained in the zoning text but not in the General Plan text. The proposed zoning wording has also been revised. The original wording established the size of the community facilities area based upon the acreage in the plan area. Staff evaluated several other means of establishing the size of the community facilities area (e.g., the number of units possible in the plan area). However, staff believes that a formula based upon the net developable acreage in the plan area provides the best equity between new master plans and new residential specific plans because it ensures that non-residential portions of the plan are also considered. Staff has revised the acreage requirement formula for plans being amended. It now bases the reservation area requirement only on the amount of acreage being amended. This ensures that the amended area does not have to offset any previous shortfall or lack of community facilities GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCYA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE January 3,200l Page 2 reservation. (By the same token then, an amendment area would not receive “credit” for any community facilities areas existing in the portion not being amended.) Staff has attached revised resolutions and exhibits for the GPA, ZCA, and LCPA.

II. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION This item was presented at the public hearing on November 15, 2000. After taking public testimony and discussing the proposed General Plan and Zoning amendments, the Planning Commission had some concerns about the equity of the proposed wording with regard to already- approved Master Plans and Residential Specific Plans. Staff suggested that the item be continued and that staff reevaluate the proposed wording to see if it could be improved upon. As a result, staff has made several changes to both the proposed General Plan wording and the proposed zoning wording. The proposed General Plan wording has been revised to be more general and less specific with regard to the size of the required reservation area. Staff believes this change is appropriate in that the General Plan is a policy document and the zoning (Title 21) is the implementing document. Therefore, it is appropriate that the wording in the General Plan be more general and the wording in the zoning contain the specific standards and requirements. The proposed zoning wording has also been revised. The original wording established the size of the reservations area based upon the acreage in the plan area. Staff has now revised that wording to establish the size of the reservation area based upon the number of units possible rather than based upon the acreage in the plan area. Staff believes this formula provides greater equity between new and already-adopted plans and between master and specific plans. Staff has attached revised resolutions and exhibits for the GPA, ZCA, and LCPA. The revised resolutions (4854 Revised, 4855 Revised, and 4856 Revised) have been changed only to reflect references to their revised attachments (exhibits). The revised exhibits (Exhibit W Revised, GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE December 6,200O Exhibit X Revised, and Exhibit A Revised) contain the revised wording for the General Plan text and zoning text.

II. INTRODUCTION This project consists of several text changes to the General Plan and to the City’s Zoning regulations (Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code). The major changes have to do with creating a new General Plan land use designation and new zoning regulations for “community facilities” uses. The adopted General Plan (Land Use Element, Residential uses) contains an objective and a policy which require new master plans and residential specific plans to reserve areas for day care centers, places of worship, and other community-serving uses. Planning Department staff has, for the last several years, relied on this objective and policy as a basis to negotiate for inclusion of land for community-serving uses in master plans and residential specific plans. Because the existing General Plan wording is not specific with regard to minimum area, time period of the reservation, or other factors, the resulting land reservations have varied with different master and specific plans. In an effort to more consistently implement this requirement, staff has developed the proposed General Plan Amendment and related Zone Code Amendments. These amendments will better implement the requirement for reservation of land for community facilities uses within master plans and residential specific plans. The “community facilities” land use designation would include uses like child care centers, worship facilities, and a range of other non-profit and some for-profit uses which are not traditional residential, industrial, or commercial land uses but which serve an important function in the community. The proposed General Plan Amendment establishes the new “CF” (Community Facilities) land use designation and establishes a new goal, objectives, and policies for the new designation. The new and amended zoning regulations for community facilities establish (among other things) the specific requirements for size and term of the reservation, uses to be allowed, and locational criteria. The first change is the creation of a new “C-F” (Community Facilities) zone. This new GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02KCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O zone would contain all of the requirements and development standards for community facilities areas. The second change would amend the existing P-C (Planned Community) Zone, which governs master plans, to also address the new community facilities requirements. A Local Coastal Program Amendment is necessary to implement the proposed zoning amendments in the Coastal Zone. In addition, and not related to the community facilities changes, staff has also included a minor wording change to the General Plan related to existing text discussing density calculation in special circumstances and a correction of a typographical error. These are “housekeeping” changes which are minor in nature and are being included with the community facilities amendment for convenience of processing. The new density wording would clarify the existing wording and correct an error in that wording. The typographical correction is self-explanatory. The proposed community facilities changes would apply citywide in master plans and specific plans with residential components. The clarification wording for the density discussion would apply citywide. (Implementation of any zoning changes in the Coastal Zone would, of course, occur only after Coastal Commission approval of the LCPA.) There are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed amendments. The details of each of the proposed changes is discussed in detail in this staff report. In addition, staff has attached a “bold/italics & strikeout” version of the proposed Zone Code Amendments (Exhibit “A”) for ease of reading. III. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION Background Some community-serving uses (particularly non-profit uses) have difficulty locating in developing residential areas because the cost of the land in such areas is prohibitive for them. This has proven particularly true in master-planned and specific-planned areas. Developers will not voluntarily reserve or designate portions of master plans or residential specific plans for uses of a community-serving nature when there are more profitable uses for such areas. Later, when the residential development has occurred, there is no longer an opportunity to provide the community-serving uses near the residences. In addition, the development of these new residential uses creates its own need for more community-serving uses. This problem was recognized by the City’s decision-makers a number of years ago during the City’s 1994 General Plan Update. In that updated General Plan, City Council included a new objective (B.4) and a new policy (C.12) in the Residential section of the Land Use Element. This new objective and policy were directed at requiring the reservation of lands for community-serving uses until such time as surrounding residential development would support these uses. General Plan Objective B.4 was included “To ensure that new master planned communities and residential specific plans contribute to a balanced community by providing, within the development, adequate areas to meet some social/human service needs such as sites for worship, daycare, youth and senior citizen activities, etc.“. General Plan Policy C.12 was included to “Require new master planned developments and residential specific plans of over 100 acres to provide usable acres to be designated for community facilities such as daycare, worship, youth and senior citizen activities.” It further 53 GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O Page 3 states that “The exact amount of land will be determined by a titure amendment to the Planned Community Zone.” Staff has relied upon this objective and policy to negotiate the inclusion of land for community- serving uses in master plans and residential specific plans since 1994. This has resulted in land reservations which vary widely in acreage, time period, and uses provided. The Calavera Hills Master Plan (1974) contains no requirement for provision of community facilities. (It’s approval pre-dated both the General Plan policy and the Planning Department policy.) The Aviara Master Plan (1987) allows, but does not require, a church or day care facility use subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Arroyo La Costa Master Plan (1990) requires a day care facility and a recreation facility. The Ranch0 Carrillo Master Plan (1997) required reservation of a community facility site for a three-year time period. (The applicant has since requested, and been denied for the time being, the reversion of that site to other development.) It is staffs intent with these proposed amendments to establish policies (General Plan) and regulations (Title 21, Zoning) which will facilitate more consistent implementation of these requirements. This will result in a more balanced provision of the community-serving facilities needed, particularly in large master-planned and specific-planned developments. Proiect Description The proposed General Plan and zoning amendments (and Local Coastal Program Amendment) include changes in four areas. Each is discussed below and (in greater detail) in Sections 1V.A and 1V.B of this staff report. 1. General Plan Amendment to create a new “CF” (Communitv Facilities) land use designation The first part of the proposed General Plan amendment involves establishing a new land use designation for “CF” Community Facilities land uges. (See Exhibit “W”) The existing General Plan (Objective B.4) requires that master plans and specific plans with residential components contribute to a balanced community by providing areas for uses which meet social/human service needs. Community facilities uses would include uses which are important and traditional members of the community but which, because of internal and external financial constraints, have difficulty locating in new residential areas, particularly master-planned and specific-planned developments, unless land is reserved for them. In addition, this reservation must be for a long enough time period to allow adequate residential development to support the community facilities uses. The existing General Plan language is appropriately broad. However, there has been no more specific language (typically in a zoning district) to implement the General Plan wording in a consistent manner. The proposed amendment would remedy this deficiency by creating a new land use designation and zoning district dedicated to these community facilities. Further, establishing a unique General Plan designation for community facilities uses, as well as a unique zoning district, will make these areas more readily identifiable when master plans and residential specific plans are adopted. All of the uses which would be considered “community facilities” uses are already allowed in the City. They include things like places of worship, charities, senior citizens facilities, day care centers, and other non-profit and for-profit uses. No “new” uses are being created or identified. (A more detailed discussion of specific uses can be found below in Section 1II.B. of this report.) s- GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCt’A 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O Page 4 Also, new wording has been developed to state the goal, objectives, and implementing policies for the new land use designation. The implementing policies contain the essential wording governing the requirement for reservation of land, the size of the reservation, and the general location guidelines for the community facilities areas, (See Exhibit “W”) 2. General Plan Amendment to clarifv the densitv allowed in special circumstances The second (housekeeping) part of the proposed General Plan amendment involves revising some wording in the Land Use Element to clarify the calculation of allowed density in special circumstances. The Land Use Element of the adopted General Plan (Residential uses) contains a discussion of allowed density on sites with exceptional circumstances. This occurs in situations where the base zone of a site is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of the site, but would allow a slightly higher yield than that recommended in the low (RL) and low-medium (RLM) density residential classifications. This section of text was intended to apply only to in- fill lots, primarily in the older areas of the City (generally within Local Facilities Management Zones 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6). The potential for this situation to occur in those areas was identified early on. Thus, the original Growth Management dwelling unit projections considered these areas as subdivided and anticipated the resulting dwelling units. Later, City Council Policy No. 43 addressed this situation. Policy 43 identifies these types of sites as one of the “First Priority” categories to receive dwelling units from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. Unfortunately, the existing General Plan wording is somewhat confusing and, when applied literally, actually further restricts allowed density rather than allowing additional density as it was intended to do. Therefore, staff is proposing new wording which would clarify the maximum density allowed in these exceptional circumstances and would correct the calculation wording error. (See Exhibit ‘V’.) 3. Correction of tvpographical error The current General Plan contains a typographical error in the discussion (Growth Management) of various quadrants of the City. The text refers to the Southwest Quadrant twice. One of those references should be the Southeast Quadrant. (See Exhibit “W”.) 4. Zone Code Amendment to create a new “C-F” (Communitv Facilities) Zone The existing General Plan (Policy C.12) requires that the City process an amendment to the P-C Zone to codify this requirement for reservation of land in master plans and residential specific plans for community facilities uses. Thus, staff is proposing an amendment to the P-C Zone (Item 4, below). However, implementation of this General Plan Objective also requires the creation of a new zone, the “C-F” Community Facilities Zone. The P-C Zone regulates only master plans, and not specific plans, and it requires the designation of underlying zoning. Therefore, amendment of the P-C Zone alone would not effectively implement this General Plan requirement. By creating a new C-F zone, the requirements will continue to be applied to both master plans and residential specific plans as required by the General Plan and it will be possible to designate an underlying zone as required. (See Exhibit “A”, pages l-4.) GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCrA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O The proposed new wording also allows for uses not specifically listed but determined by the Planning Director to be “community facilities” uses. (See Exhibit “A”, page 3.) The General Plan (Objective B.4 and Policy C.12) requires that new master plans and residential specific plans reserve sites for community-serving uses. Policy C.12 would be deleted with the approval of the proposed amendments since it is no longer necessary, and would be replaced with similar wording in the new Community Facilities Goals, Objectives, and Policies section. (See Exhibit “W”.) Finally, new wording has been developed to state the goal, objectives, and implementing policies for the new land use designation. The implementing policies contain the essential wording governing the requirement for reservation of land, the size of the reservation, and the general locational guidelines for the reservation. (See Exhibit “W”.) Staff is proposing that the time period for the reservation be ten years and that the time period begin following complete occupancy of the first residential planning area. This is a longer time period than has previously been required by policy. However, staff believes this is necessary in order to ensure that sufficient residential development has occurred to support the community facilities use(s). Experience has shown that five years is not a sufficient time period to allow development of the residential uses needed to support the community facilities uses. The Calavera Hills Master Plan was originally approved in 1974 and is still not fully built out. The Aviara Master Plan (1987) is also still not built out. 2. General Plan Amendment to clarifi/ the densitv allowed in special circumstances The second part of the General Plan amendment involves revising some wording in the Land Use Element to clarify the allowed density in exceptional circumstances. The Land Use Element of the adopted General Plan (Residential uses) contains a discussion of allowed density on sites with exceptional circumstances. This occurs in situations where the base zone of a site is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of the site, but would allow a slightly higher yield than that recommended in the low (RL) and low-medium (RLM) density residential classifications. In such circumstances the General Plan states that the City can find the project is consistent with the Land Use Element if the project is compatible with objectives, policies, and programs of the General Plan and “does not exceed 25% of the maximum allocation”. The intent of this wording was to reconcile the two different yield figures which could occur (one from an application of the General Plan density range and the other from the application of the minimum lot size requirement in the zoning regulations). An example of this situation would be a 2.582-net acre site which has a General Plan designation of RLM and R-1-7,500 zoning. R-l-7,500 zoning is consistent with and implements the RLM General Plan designation. Under the General Plan density controls the site would yield 10 dwelling units (at the top of the RLM range). However, the underlying zoning would allow 15 lots (7,500 square feet each). The intent of the adopted General Plan wording in this case was to allow some number of units above the General Plan top of the range (10) but not more than the zoning (15). Unfortunately, application of the existing wording results in a yield of only two dwelling units (25% of 10 du = 2.5 du and round down), actually reducing the potential yield to far less than the General Plan allows. This is the result of two wording problems. The first problem is the term “maximum allocation”. The term is not defined, although the theoretical “maximum allocation” is the top of the range. To correct this problem staff is proposing to 56 GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02iLCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O Pane 7 delete the term “maximum allocation” and replace it with “the top of the range”. This is consistent with the original intent of the section and reflects the way in which this section has been implemented over the years. The second problem is the use of “25%” in the calculation. Staff is proposing wording to clarify that the 25% is to be in addition to or above the top of the range. This will correct the calculation problem. (See Exhibit “W”.) Finally, staff is also proposing to add wording to ensure that all necessary infrastructure is in place to support the proposed development. This has always been a requirement for allowing additional density, but it was not clearly stated previously in this section. In the example situation, the proposed revised wording would result in an allowed yield of 5.0 du/ac (12 units). This would be 25% above the top of the range (4 du/ac) and would be between the number allowed at the top of the range (10 du) and the number possible under the R-l-7,500 zoning (15 lots). The additional unit(s) resulting from this application would continue to require approval of units from the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank as has been required previously. B. Zone Code Amendment The proposed zone code amendment involves two changes necessary to address the community facilities requirements. These are discussed below. 1. Zone Code Amendment to create a new “C-F” (Communitv Facilities) Zone The proposed new “C-F” (Community Facilities) zone will be a new chapter (Chapter 2 1.25) of Title 21 and will implement the new “CF” Community Facilities General Plan land use designation. (See Exhibit “A”, pages l-4.) The existing General Plan wording (Policy C. 12) anticipated that an amendment to the P-C Zone would be necessary to implement the General Plan policy requiring community facilities uses. However, later analysis determined that the creation of a separate zoning district was necessary. Since the P-C Zone does not regulate or apply to specific plans, amendment of that section would not be adequate to implement the requirements in residential specific plans as the General Plan requires. In addition, since the P-C Zone requires that master plans designate underlying zoning, the new zoning district is also necessary to implement the P-C Zone. Therefore, it is necessary to create a new zone (new Chapter 21.25, “C-F”) to implement the community facilities requirements in both master plans and residential specific plans. This new zone is the primary means of implementing the requirement for community facilities uses. First, the new C-F zone identifies the intent and purpose (Section 21.25.010) of the new zone. The intent and purpose is to implement the General Plan objective and policy of requiring master plans and residential specific plans to reserve adequately-sized sites for community facilities uses, to identify those sites during the master plan/specific plan process, and to establish development standards for community facilities uses. (See Exhibit “A”, page 1.) Second, the new zone will ‘apply (Section 21.25.020) to those properties proposed for development through a new master plan or residential specific plan approved after the effective date of the new ordinance and to some of those already approved but which are sufficiently undeveloped as to still allow reasonable inclusion of community facilities. Most existing master 57 GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O plans and specific plans have some wording relating to either community facilities uses generally or to day care facilities. It would be infeasible to expect all existing master/specific plans to meet the requirements of the proposed new regulations. However, those which still contain large areas of undeveloped acreage (100 or more gross acres) could be subject to the community facilities requirements. (See Exhibit “A”, page 1.) Third, the new zone (Section 21.25.030) establishes the minimum time period for the reservation of a community facilities site(s) as ten years. The ten-year period will commence when final inspections have been approved for 100% of the units in the first residential planning area. In previous master/specific plans the time period has varied in both duration and start point. The new wording would establish a longer time period (10 years) than has previously been standard and would start the time period later. However, staff believes this is necessary in order to truly encourage community facilities to develop and be sustainable. This section also eliminates any automatic reversion of the reserved site to other uses. It allows the developer to propose elimination of the reserved site after 10 years if he can demonstrate the total infeasibility of development of the site with community facilities uses. (See Exhibit “A”, page 2.) Fourth, the new zone (Sections 21.25.040 and 21.25.050) establishes that the only use allowed “by right” is a child day care center. This is consistent with other applicable sections of Title 21 in that child day care centers are allowed “by right” in many zones. All other community facilities uses would require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Staff believes the CUP requirement is important because community facilities uses may, by their very nature, involve operational characteristics which need to be evaluated before they are approved. Further, it may be necessary to condition such uses for specific time periods to ensure on-going compatibility with neighboring residential uses. (See Exhibit “A”, page 2.) Fifth, the new zone (Section 21.25.070) establishes the minimum size of the area to be reserved. For large developments (100 or more gross acres), reservation of a 2-gross acre day care facility site and 1% of the net developable acreage of the entire master plan or specific plan area for other community facilities uses is required. For smaller developments (less than 100 gross acres) reservation of the 2-gross acre day care facility is all that is required. (See Exhibit “A”, page 3.) Sixth, the new zone (Section 2125.080) establishes the maximum building height for the zone as 35 feet/3 levels if a pitched roof is incorporated and 24 feet/2 levels if a flatter roof is incorporated. This is the typical height limitation incorporated in most zones in the City which would allow this type of development. (See Exhibit “A”, page 3.) Seventh, the new zone (Section 21.25.090) directs that the setback/yard requirements for the zone be established through the master/specific plan. This is the way in which the development standards for such uses are established now. (See Exhibit “A”, page 3.) Finally, the new zone (Section 21.25.120) requires that full disclosure be made to all buyers of surrounding residential units and owners of surrounding properties that the reserved area will be developed with community facilities uses. Not all buyers of residences in master/specific plans are aware of the intended use of neighboring sites within their master/specific plan. After a significant time period, neighboring resident opposition could hinder the development of these community facilities uses. Therefore, staff believes it is important to have full and early 3-i GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O disclosure to buyers regarding the intended development of these sites. (See Exhibit “A”, page 3.1 2. Zone Code Amendment to P-C Zone for communitv facilities uses The existing P-C Zone governs master plans and establishes the zoning (P-C) to be placed on properties developed as master plans. It also has some wording requiring reservation of a day care center site for a five-year time period. This wording (along with the existing General Plan objective and policy) has served as the basis for requiring provision of day care centers and other community-serving uses in master plans. However, General Plan Objective B.4 has more comprehensive wording regarding the nature of and requirement for community facilities reservations. Therefore, only minimal changes to the P-C Zone will be necessary to implement the CF General Plan designation, since the detailed requirements will be contained in the new C- F Zone. The amendment to the P-C Zone consists of only the following three specific changes: a. the addition of a new intent/purpose to Section 21.38.010; (This new purpose specifically refers to the reservation of a site(s) for community facilities.) b. the deletion of wording in Section 21.38.020 (Permitted uses and structures) which is no longer needed; (This wording refers to day care centers only, and will be replaced by more inclusive wording in the new C-F chapter.) and, C. the inclusion of a reference (Section 21.3802 1) to the new Chapter 21.25 as the source of all applicable development requirements and standards for community facilities. (See Exhibit “A” page 5.) C. Local Coastal Program Amendment The City’s zoning regulations (Title 21) implement the Local Coastal Programs for the various Coastal Zone segments. Since this amendment would apply to properties citywide, it would apply to all of the City’s Local Coastal Program segments. In effect, however, the proposed zone code amendment does not conflict with, and would not alter, any Coastal Zone plans, policies or regulations. The proposed amendment has the effect of requiring the reservation of property for some already-allowed uses within master plans and residential specific plans.. The uses which would be required are already allowed throughout the City. Thus, no new uses are being required. In addition, the development standards for such uses would not be changed. Currently, the development standards for all uses within a master plan or residential specific plan are based upon an underlying zoning district as modified by the master plan wording. This would continue to be the case. The proposed amendment does not alter any existing Coastal regulations or policies. Consequently, the proposed amendment would not result in any impacts to coastal resources, coastal slopes, public views, or public access. V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIW The Planning Director has determined that this General Plan Amendment/Zone Code Amendment/Local Coastal Program Amendment (GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02) to amend the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, zoning regulations, and Local Coastal Program will not have a significant impact on the environment and therefore has issued a 59 GPA 99-Ol/ZCA 99-02/LCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE November 15,200O Page 10 Negative Declaration on August 28, 2000. The environmental analysis (EIA Part II) concluded that this GPA/ZCA/LCPA will not result in’any physical, biological or human environmental impacts and that the amended General Plan text and zoning regulations are no different from the existing wording and regulations with regard to environmental protection. Therefore, no significant environmental impacts are anticipated to occur. There were no letters of comment received during the public review period for this Negative Declaration. A MEIR may not be used to review projects if it was certified more than five years prior to the filing of an application for a later project. The City is currently reviewing the 1994 MEIR to determine whether it is still adequate to review subsequent projects. Although the MEIR was certified more than five years ago, the City’s preliminary review of its adequacy finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the MEIR was certified. The only potential changed circumstance, the intersection failure at Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real, is in the process of being mitigated to below a level of significance. Additionally, there is no new available information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the MEIR was certified. Therefore, the MEIR remains adequate to review later projects. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4853 (Negative Declaration) 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4854 with Ex.

Mr. Wayne stated that agenda item No. 2 is a request for a general plan amendment, a zone code amendment and a local coastal program amendment to create a new General Plan Designation and zoning to implement it and that would be the Community Facilities zone. This is a continued public hearing and tonight’s presentation will be by Senior Planner, Elaine Blackburn. Since it has been some time since the first public hearing on this, she is going to try and provide some more detailed background than would normally be on a continued item. Chairperson Segall opened the Public Hearing. Ms. Blackburn informed everyone of her intent is to refresh everyone’s memory on this, while also trying not to go overboard on some of the slides which the Commission has already seen. This is a General Plan Amendment, a Zone Code Amendment and a Local Coastal Program Amendment. The General Plan Amendment actually involves two items, one is to create the new Community Facilities’ Land Use Designation and the other has really nothing to do with Community Facilities, but because of convenience it is bundled in with this package, and that was just a couple of housekeeping items: one of which was a typo in the Land Use Element and the other a clarification of some density wording in the General Plan. The Zone Code Amendment involves the creation of the new Community Facilities zoning regulations, an Amendment to the PC Zone which makes reference to the need for Community Facilities and also an amendment of the Conditional Uses chapter which is for consistency of the wording. The Local Coastal Program Amendment is to maintain consistency. As indicated at the previous meeting, the General Plan does already contain an objective and a policy that calls for staff to process this particular amendment. Staff has tried to get these Community Facilities Uses through policy over the years and have had mixed results, generally disappointing results. The Community Facilities General Plan Amendment creates a new goal, objective and policies in keeping with the format of the other Land Use designations in the General Plan that requires the reservation of this Community Facilities area and a sufficient time period of reservation to allow development of the uses necessary to support it, and it references generally the types of sites most likely to effectively serve the community. It also directs that we create the zone for Community Facilities. The Zone Code Amendment primarily creates the new Community Facilities Zone which establishes the allowed uses, the development standards for Community Facilities and is the primary means for implementing this requirement. Again, the Amendment to the PC Zone and the Conditional Uses Chapter are both very minor in nature and just maintain consistency throughout the code. The intent and purpose in the new zone is to ensure the reservation of Community Facilities sites, to identify the uses which would meet that requirement and to establish development standards for the uses. The applicability of this requirement would be for new Master Plans and new residential Specific Plans (that would be those that have a minimum of 100 gross acres and have some residential component in them). It would also apply to some previously approved Master Plans or residential Specific Plans. The only ones that it would apply to would be those where the developer comes in requesting an amendment to that plan and the amendment involves at least 100 acres. This 100 acre base was used throughout the formula in order to create an equitable situation between existing and new Master Plans and residential Specific Plans and also to create equity between Specific Plans and Master Plans. The time period of the reservation is no different than what we originally proposed to you, that is 10 years from the time that final inspections have been approved for all of the residences in the first planning area. One change we have made in the permitted uses: originally, we were considering the Child Day Care Facility to be allowed by right and all other uses to be by Conditional Use Permit. What we are proposing now is that the Child Day Care Facility be allowed by SDP, which ensures that it comes back to you for some control over the appearance and operating of the facility and then all other uses would be by CUP. If it were a combined facility, and the Day Care were perhaps provided within a Church, which required a CUP, then we would of course waive the Site Development Plan requirement, so there was no redundancy of permitting. The formula for this requirement for new Master and residential Specific Plans would be two net acres plus one percent of the net developable acreage in the plan area. (That’s the entire Master Plan or Specific Plan.) That is for Planning Commission Minutes February 7,200l Page 10 new ones. For previously approved plans, which are coming in for this amendment, and remember that only counts if they are amending a 100 acre portion, then the requirement would be two net acres and one percent of the net developable acreage in the amendment area only. Staff is striving to keep an equitable approach between existing and new plans. A Child Day Care Facility would be a required use somewhere in this reservation area. It does not have to be a free standing use and doesn’t have a minimum size requirement. There is no change from the draft you saw originally with regard to building heights and yards. The building height is typical for what is applied city-wide for these types of facilities and setbacks and other development standards are typically developed through the Master Plan or Specific Plan, and that would remain the case. There is no change in the location and design standards, we’re looking for compatibility with adjacent uses. We’re looking for some buffering for surrounding residential uses, architectural compatibility. Generally speaking, it is expected that these sites would be centrally located unless another location is more effective. And generally speaking we would expect to see one unified side, although it is not being required. It might be appropriate in some plans to provide two separate sites-two smaller ones in different places. That possibility has been left open. A disclosure to buyers of residences within 600 feet is included as a required notification to inform potential buyers that a Community Facilities area is going to be there when they buy their residential units. The draft ordinance doesn’t get too specific about what the nature or appearance or form of that notice would be, but that will be addressed through each Master Plan to ensure that it is adequate. The amendment to the PC Zone, again--just clarification to refer to the CF Zone for the development standards and allowed uses. The clarification to the Conditional Uses, makes sure that there is not confusing wording between two chapters. Chairperson Segall thanked Ms. Blackburn for her presentation and asked that she define the difference between a Master Plan and a residential Specific Plan. Ms. Blackburn explained that a Master Plan is a City document. Our Title 21 addresses the need for Master Plans when you have 100 acres, or more, of contiguous ownership property. The Specific Plan is actually a creature of State law. There are specific requirements to be contained in a Specific Plan and it has certain regulations under State law that apply to it and it has a different standing, because the nature of those Specific Plans are defined by State law. In terms of substantive differences in the City, there are not necessarily a lot of differences mainly because, when we process Master Plans in the City, we are actually pretty conservative and tend to require more or less the same things. State law says that a Specific Plan has to designate underlying zoning, for example, in the planning areas. The City typically does for Master Plans as well. So in essence there are not very many differences. There are a couple of differences in terms of what might be required as submittal requirements for review, but again, the City tends to be conservative and to require mostly the same things. Seeing no questions Chairperson Segall opened Public Testimony. Mike Howes, Hofman Planning Associates, 5900 Pasture Court, Carlsbad stated that he has reviewed the revised ordinance and has concerns about the prohibition of schools in the Community Facilities zone. He questioned what is more of a Community Facility than a school. They are kind of like the backbone of our communities really. Children go to school there, there are events at nights at schools, and there are events on weekends at schools. Even if schools aren’t considered as meeting the needs of the Community Facility zone, they shouldn’t be prohibited from being within the Community Facility zone. As an example, Mr. Howes cited one of the projects he is involved in which is considered putting together a campus. He mainly wanted to get a flexibility to plan for a good project-a good integrated project. Chairperson Segall asked if he were referring to private schools and not public schools. Mr. Howes pointed out that he’s referring to private and that public schools don’t have a school zoning. Commissioner Compas questioned Mr. Howes as to whether he has some specific wording that he may like to see put in there. Planning Commission Minutes February 7,200l Page 11 Mr. Howes’ suggestion was to put under Allowed Uses, possibly like a school associated as part of a Church campus. Commissioner Nielsen asked Mr. Howes if he reviewed the formula, two acres plus and recalled that Mr. Howes did have some problems with that last time. Mr. Howes thought the way it was revised was acceptable. Commissioner Nielsen asked how many acres total are involved in that project? Mr. Howes said it was about 600 acres, but on the Community Facilities site it is about 13 acres, of which a part is going to be for the school and part of it is going to be for the Church. Covering the whole site, he was wondering where to draw the line. He says they are also in a situation where they would like the flexibility, if the Church goes forward but doesn’t want to put the school, they would want to use the rest of that site for more Community Facilities, not having to rezone it to go back to put in more Community Facilities. Under this existing proposal, they would have to give part of that site a Community Facilities zone, part of that site another zone and then if the school went away for some reason, it would have to be rezoned back to Community Facilities to put more Community Facilities in. He stated they were not trying to get out of meeting their requirement, the acreage requirement. He agreed with Commissioner Nielsen that it would require a CUP which possibly could be handled in the CUP venue because it is only a temporary situation which Commissioner Nielsen was suggesting. Mr. Howes pointed out that the proposed revision by staff to the CUP Ordinance would prohibit schools with a CUP, private schools or public schools, in the CF Zone. Commissioner Compas asked if there was any limitation that Mr. Howes would put on this school? How small of a school would be reasonable? Mr. Howes stated that he had not thought about size of schools, not a minimum size, and shared that they would not use that to meet the Community Facilities requirement. The Church would have it as an insular use, that they just don’t want to jury-rig it with another zone that doesn’t work. Commissioner Trigas, in looking at the permitted uses by the CUP in places of worship, youth and then other uses, asked Mr. Howes if he was saying there could be no school function along with the church? Mr. Howes referred to the amendment to the Section 2142010(2) which deals with Conditional Use permits--in the CUP section which says all zones, including residential with the exception of Community Facilities zones, basically the way it is written would prohibit schools and these other uses in the Community Facilities zone (page 5 Section V, on the Ordinance, Exhibit X, Resolution 4855. Commissioner Trigas suggested she address this to the staff afterwards as she may be reading this a little differently if it is Church related and she does see a flexibility in the language, but she wanted to ask staff that. Commissioner Segall, seeing no one else who wished to testify on this item, closed Public Testimony. Ms. Blackburn commented that the situation Mr. Howes was referring to has to do with a Master Plan under review. She agreed that what the applicant in that case is proposing to do is indeed to exceed the minimum requirements of the proposed Community Facilities area. They are certainly trying to provide what they are required to and then some. The dilemma to which Mr. Howes is referring comes in that in essence we do have zoning for schools in the City. They are allowed in almost all zones with the CUP. We don’t have a separate designated zoning chapter for schools, but they are allowed by CUP just about everywhere. What we have typically done in previous Master Plans where we have attempted to get some of these Community Facilities Uses-when we set up this Community Facilities zone, we were looking to get certain types of uses that obviously serve the community. Those are uses which very often don’t have much opportunity for economic reasons or other reasons to come into an area. Master Plans and residential Specific Plans typically create enough residential units as well as other uses to generate a real need for these things. Then the uses cannot really afford the land. The situation that Mr. Howes is talking about is where they would like to designate an area for Community Facilities that is larger than is required, but also have a school share that land. Staff believes there is another way to resolve that in Planning Commission Minutes February 7,200l Page 12 that Master Plan review and we certainly are not proposing’to prohibit the school in the project they are proposing, we are simply saying that it can’t come in under CF Zoning, but it can come in under the other zoning that allows it by CUP. Commissioner Trigas asking if the proposing to share the land is with the Church with a school as part of it or is it an entirely separate school? Ms. Blackburn stated that actually the situation is (and you are all familiar with the way our Master Plans work where we create planning areas and we give them numeric or letter designations, planning areas l- 5 will be residential and planning area 6 and 7 will be commercial etc.). So what they would like to do in their project is take one planning area and use it for both of these uses, which is fine. But what we have indicated is that for the school itself, you just need to have split zoning on that planning area, so that you can accommodate a school on part of it and your Community Facilities on another part of it and you can account for it that you are meeting your minimum requirement for Community Facilities separately from the school. It doesn’t mean they couldn’t share parking and so forth. Mr. Wayne stated that the City allows churches by CUP and we allow churches by CUP to have all sorts of accessory uses including day care, by right, including schools in almost every zone except one. And the one zone that we don’t allow the day care and that we don’t allow the schools is the industrial zone and it is because of the tremendous hazards that a group of children would be exposed to. So we have a separate process for that even. What Ms. Blackburn is saying is absolutely correct. There are other ways to do that. We would envision in the CF Zone a house of worship could have an accessory school. It couldn’t be a school that was not accessory. In other words, it couldn’t really be the primary use of the property. Also it is inappropriate at this time to be discussing a Master Plan that is under review. There are a number of ways and she is absolutely correct; there are a whole bunch of ways for us to address that issue at the time it comes before you. Master Plans have their own tailor-made zoning built into them, as do Specific Plans by law. They are adopted by Ordinance and so they are uncodified zones. Commissioner Trigas reiterated that her interpretation is that there is that flexibility, that Mr. Howes is not going to be ruled out of having this type of project, that depending on the specifics it would be looked at and worked through, rather than saying no, you can’t have a school attached to a religious center. Ms. Blackburn agreed that that was absolutely correct. Commissioner Trigas stated that she read it as a flexible document in that regards, that staff would look at it and make a determination. So she feels comfortable. For clarification, Commissioner Baker asked if you have the church and you have a school which is a private school attached to the church, K-12, and it takes up the requirements, but if you take away the school, then you are under your acres of the Community Facilities requirement. Then you end up with a piece of property left over because your requirements say you must have seven acres, but the church is only taking up five and you’ve got two left over. Ms. Blackburn went on to state that what they are trying to do with this Ordinance is get a general amount of this Community Facilities in that area and one of the things that staff was careful to do is build in this Allowed Use which says other similar uses as determined to be appropriate by the planning director. And that is what we want to do. What we don’t want to do is build so much detail and rule into an Ordinance that while it may accommodate one plan, it totally distorts another one. Our primary concern here about schools frankly is not small schools associated with churches. We have the latitude to do that, but what happens if an applicant comes in and proposes a large private school that is not affiliated with anything, but is now qualified to satisfy all their Community Facilities requirement. One applicant may not propose that, but the next one might. Commissioner Baker concurred, but asked what happens though, we have a land requirement here and they put a Community Facility in but that Community Facility doesn’t take up all the land that we are requiring for it? Are we going to be able to be a little flexible about that? Planning Commission Minutes February 7,200l Page 13 Mr. Wayne replied yes and no. The ordinance calls for ten years and if at the end of ten years, the applicant files an application for an amendment on that parcel and lets say they have a seven acre requirement and they have five acres under community facilities use and they can’t find a user for these last remnant two acres, it becomes the discretion of the Planning Commission to turn it into multi-family residential, as an example. So it’s certainly a possibility, to covert the parcel to non-community facilities uses, but it is under the amendment process and that is why we put the requirement in the ordinance. If you recall, you had an item before you just recently dealing with exactly the same issue and so we decided to address that issue here. If after ten years the Commission finds it is OK to convert the community facilities parcels to other uses, then so be it. Commissioner Nielsen referred to that particular site that had a two acre parcel on it that we couldn’t find anyone, it was too small for anybody to use and it looks like we’re coming back with this same acreage as a minimum. Mr. Wayne stated that staff doesn’t agree. The reservation in Arroyo La Costa is a similar size and two acres-that was two acres net and two acres net is sufficient. It is not sufficient for some of the larger places of worship that want five, ten acres, but it is for a lot of the others, as an example. For these examples we are using house of worship but for a boys and girls club or senior center-two acres is certainly sufficient.

Assistant Planning Director, Gary Wayne, advised the Commission that Staff is again requesting a continuance and explained that the City is still in negotiations with the affected major property owners within the city. He further stated that there have been some significant issues raised and those issues are currently being studied and, with that in mind, Staff wishes to continue this item to a date uncertain. He added that they anticipate that this item will be back, perhaps, for the first or second meeting in February and it will be re-noticed. Chairperson Segall asked if there was anyone in the audience wishing to address this item. Seeing no one wishing to speak, Chairperson Segall called for a motion.

In the absence of the Project Planner, Christer Westman, and Project Engineer, Mike Shirey, Assistant Planning Director, Gary Wayne presented the staff report as follows: This is a request for an amendment to the Planned Unit Development 97-04(A), which is Village “E” for Kelly Ranch. Originally this project was approved as a 144 unit Planned Unit Development, all single-family, detached houses on smaller than normal R-l -7,500 square foot lots. It complied with all of the ordinances and the policies at the time it was approved by the City. Two of the responsibilities of the project that were to be satisfied, off-site, were the inclusionary housing responsibility, which is approximately twenty-two dwelling units, and the R.V. storage responsibility, which is approximately 2,880 square feet. Subsequent to the approval of this project, the City PLANNING COMMISSION December 6,200O Page 2 MOTION: ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Segall, and duly seconded, that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4881 and 4882 approving PCDlGPC 00-04 and PCDlGPC 00-05, including the errata sheet dated December 6,2000, based upon the findings contained therein.

PLANNING COMMlSSlOh November 15,200O Page IS Chairperson Compas asked how the 480~seat auditorium would be utilized. Mr. Grider stated that it would be a multi-purpose auditorium. Referring to the membership numbers, Commissioner Nielsen raised question’s regarding the small facility. - . Mr. Grider replied that fiscal constraints dictated the size of the facility. Chairperson Compas asked if more than one service would be conducted. Mr. Grider stated that the plan is to offer services and ministries seven-day a week, in the evening as well as during the day. Commissioner Nielsen asked if the youth services would be in the classroom or public assembly area. Mr. Grider stated that the 225-youths come to the facility for various programs during the week. Chairperson Compas asked the anticipated date of the first service, if the project is approved. Mr. Grider anticipated grading April 15, 2001 and completing construction early 2002, thereby having the first service in February or March of 2002. Commissioner Segall asked if the building was being designed to allow add-ons in the future. Mr. Grider stated that there are no immediate plans for adding on to the facility, but high utilization of the facility is the intent. As there were additional questions of staff, Chairperson Compas opened public testimony. Seeing no one wishing to testify, Chairperson Compas closed public testimony and called for a motion. MOTION: ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Segall, and duly seconded, that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4868, 4869 and 4870, approving Site Development Plan SDP 00-06, Conditional Use Permit CUP OO- 06, and Coastal Development Permit CDP 00-09, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.

GPA 9991KCA 99-021LCPA 99-02 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES ZONE - Request for approval of a citywide General Plan Amendment, Zone Code Amendment, and Local Coastal Program Amendment to create a new “CF - Community Facilities” land use designation in the General Plan and a new “CF - Community Facilities” zone in Title 21 and to amend the adopted “P-C” Zone and to clarify existing General Plan wording regarding allowed density. PLANNING COMMISSION November 15,200O Page 19 Referring to overhead slides, Senior Planner, Elaine Blackburn, the author of the ordinance, presented agenda item #9 as follows: This project consists of several text changes to the General Plan and to the City’s Zoning regulations (Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code). The major changes have to do with creating a new General Plan land use designation and new zoning regulations for “community facilities” uses and a housekeeping item not related to “community facilities”. Proposed Changes GPA 99-01 9 Community Facilities requirements New CF land use category New CF goal, objective, policies 9 Housekeeping items Clarification of density calculation Typographical correction ZCA 99-02 9 New C-F (Community Facilities) Zone 9 Amendment of P-C (Planned Community Zone LCPA 9942 9 Zoning and Local Coastal Program consistency Ms. Blackburn stated that the zone code amendment would create a new “CF” (Community Facilities) zone, which would implement the General Plan Land Use designation and involves some minor word amendment to the existing “PC” zone, which is applied to Master Plans making it consistent with the new General Plan wording and the “CF” zone that is being created. A local Coastal Amendment is included and is necessary to ensure the consistency between the coastal program wording and the zoning. Ms. Blackburn stated that in 1994 when the General Plan was updated; City Council requested that wording be included to ensure that the Community Facilities requirements were met. Objective 8.4 was to ensure that new master planned communities and residential specific plans contributed to a balanced community by providing, within the development, adequate areas to meet some social/human service needs such as sites for worship, daycare, youth and senior citizen activities, etc. Policy C.12 requires new master planned developments and residential specific plans of over 100 acres to provide usable acres to be designated for community facilities such as daycare, worship, youth and senior citizen activities. The exact amount of land will be determined by a future amendment to the Planned Community Zone. The results are as follows: Calavera Hills (1974) - no provision Aviara (1987) - church or daycare allowed Arroyo La Costa (1990) - daycare required Zone 20 (1993) - no requirement Poinsettia Shores (1994) - no requirement Ranch0 Carrillo (1997) - site reservation for 3 years Poinsettia Properties (1997) - no requirement Villages of La Costa - 2 acre daycare 8 1% of net developable acreage for other CF The proposed General Plan amendment involves two types of changes. The first part of the proposed General Plan amendment involves revising the wording of the Land Use Element to create a new land use designation for “CF” (Community Facilities) land uses. The second part of the amendment involves revising existing wording in the Land Use Element to clarify the allowed density on sites with exceptional circumstances. The second part is not related to community facilities. Ms. Blackburn discussed each of these aspects in detail. Addressing questions of lot size raised by Commissioners Trigas and Baker, Ms. Blackburn stated that it was difficult to get too specific in allowing different degrees of requirements and sizes in an ordinance because the ordinance cannot be made to fit every conceivable situation. Citing a scenario with a 1 IO-acre subdivision and a request for a 5-acre church site; Commissioner Nielsen asked if the project would have to be brought before the Commission for a CUP. d PLANNING COMMISSION November 15,200O Page 20 Ms. Blackburn replied that uses other than daycare under the draft ordinance would require a CUP. Continuing the presentation, Ms. Blackburn stated that the Time Period, as it is called out in the General Plan, should be sufficient to allow development. of supporting residential uses; centrally located unless non-central is more effective; one unified site, unless more smaller sites are more effective and amend Municipal Code to create a “CF” Zone. Regarding the Zone Code Amendment, She stated that the draft ordinance creates a new chapter in the Municipal Code, Chapter 21.25; all of the development standards and regulatory requirements for the community facilities are included in thecode. The new chapter is the primary means of implementing the General Plan CF requirements and land use designation. Commenting that the phrase adult senior daycare was condescending, Commissioner Trigas expressed objections to referring to the senior centers as adult senior daycare facilities. Ms. Blackburn replied that it was the term that planning association documents use and that there are “adult daycare centers” which serve just that purpose. Referring to the staff report and outlining the intent and purpose of the draft ordinance, Ms. Blackburn discussed in detail the various key aspects of the draft ordinance: She noted that a letter from Thomas Hageman was received on November 15, 2000. In conclusion, Ms. Blackburn stated that staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of agenda item #9, including the memo dated November 15,200O. Referring to the letter received from Mr. Hageman, Commissioner Segall asked if staff worked with anyone in the private sector during the creation of this draft ordinance. Ms. Blackburn replied no. Commissioner Segall asked how and to whom the staff report was distributed. Ms. Blackburn stated that a special noticing or mail out of the staff report was not done. She stated that typically staff reports are not mailed, but mentioned that a number of developers were aware of the draft ordinance and picked up the staff report. They also knew about it during the process of drafting it. Commissioner Nielsen asked if there was any provision for the maintenance of the properties during the ten-years. Ms. Blackburn stated that the maintenance of the site in the draft ordinance is not addressed; the developer is either going to maintain ownership until it develops or is sold. Owners are responsible for maintaining sites. Commissioner Nielsen commented that there was no mention of cost. Noting that the cost of land was extremely high and voluntary reservation of these lands are not forthcoming and non-profits don’t have an opportunity to locate in the Master Plans, Ms. Blackburn replied that an ordinance was not the appropriate place to discuss cost. Commissioner Baker asked what precipitated the ordinance, since the developers are required to set aside property for community facilities use. Ms. Blackburn replied that the General Plan has a policy that directs staff to do an amendment to accomplish this. Staff has tried by policy to have developers reserve sites for community facilities; a codified requirement would make it easier to accomplish. Commissioner Baker asked how manJ parcels the draft ordinance would affect. Ms. Blackburn replied that the Robertson Ranch property is a prime candidate for a Master Plan and possibly a few others. PLANNING COMMISSION November 15,200O Page 2 I Commissioner Baker asked how the draft ordinance would affect projects already in the works. Ms. Blackburn stated that developers of projects in the works, Villages of La Costa Master Plan and Bressi Ranch Master Plan, are designing Master Plans that comply fully with the anticipated requirements. Chairperson Compas opened public testimony. PUBLIC TESTIMONY: Paul Klukas, Planner with Planning Systems, 1530 Faraday Ave, Carlsbad, acknowledging that the creation of a community facility zone is a good idea, he expressed concern regarding the way the draft ordinance is written; noting that it is a requirement for potentially huge community facility obligations and can be imposed on beginning Master Plans as well as Master Plans in the latter stages of development and build-out of the Master Plans. He stated that if it is the City’s intention to retrofit the projects that are the latter stages of development, it could be an extreme hardship on the final portions of the Master Plans and developers, unless the ordinance provides some degree of discretion and flexibility. He stated that he believed this was not a Master Plan issue at this point, but that it could be a City planning issue or an overall land use issue. He stated that on the surface staffs approach may seem attractive; in practice the approach may create unworkable circumstances for projects that are in the latter portion of the development of Master Plan areas. He suggested that it would be worthwhile to explore other ways of dealing with the problem; possibly in consultation with the private sector. He recommended that the item be continued, so that other options could be discussed in order to determine the most equitable and workable way to resolve the problem. Commissioner Nielsen asked for examples of the inequities. Mr. Klukas stated that there are projects in the City that are three-quarters or two-thirds built out and if these projects have to provide community facilities for their section of the Master Plan, that perhaps would be equitable, but a circumstance where the shortfall has to be made up before this ordinance went into effect it could be a huge effort. He stated that he was particularly concerned about the wording in the staff report on page 8, paragraph 4, “Fifth, the new zone (Section 21.25.070) establishes the minimum size of the area to be reserved. For large developments (100 or more gross acres), reservation of a 2-gross acre day care facility site and 1% of the net developable acreage of the entire master plan or specific plan area for other community facilities uses is required.” He stated the entire master plan area would be very onerous on projects that are only building a portion of the master plan. Commissioner Trigas stated that it was her understanding that it is only on the undeveloped land. Ms. Blackburn stated that if a developer proposes an amendment that involves loo-acres or more of undeveloped land, the developer would have to provide the daycare site and 1% of the net developable acreage of the entire master plan. The key is that most of the master plans have net developable acreage that is considerably less than gross. Mike Howes, Hoffman Planning Associates, 5900 Pasteur Court, Carlsbad, stated that Section 21.25070, Exhibit A, of the ordinance addresses the minimum size requirements, but not does state specifically that any combination of the allowed community facility uses can be applied. Noting the lateness of the hour and acknowledging that agenda item ##9 needed further discussion, Mr. Wayne suggested that the item be continued. He noted that it was not the intent of the draft ordinance that a developer would have to make up for the already developed portion of a 1 ,OOO-acre master plan. In addition, he stated that there are clarifications that need to be made on several points and in the interim discussions can take place with the affected parties. Chairperson Compas closed public testimony. DISCUSSION: Commissioner Segall asked if the item were continued, could the development and building community be alerted about the draft ordinance and input gathered before it comes back before the Commission. PLANNING COMMISSION November 15,200O Page 22 Ms. Blackburn stated that special noticing could be sent out prior to the Council hearing. Mr. Wayne pointed out that those affected parties were currently in the room. MOTION: ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Trigas, and duly seconded, that agenda item #9 be continued, until the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on December 6, 2000. VOTE ON MOTION: VOTE: 7-o-o AYES: Compas, Heineman, Trigas, Nielsen, L’Heureux, Baker, Segall NOES: None ABSTAIN: None Chairperson Compas closed the public hearing. PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS: Commissioner Nielsen requested that staff provide the Commission with information regarding how many large undeveloped parcels the draft ordinance would apply to. Chairperson Compas asked how much below loo-acres would still require that a 2-acre community facility. PLANNING DIRECTOR COMMENTS: Mr. Wayne stated that guidelines for traffic impact studies would be included in the Commission’s package and it will be placed on the next agenda. Mr. Wayne stated the on November 13, 2000 the Coastal Commission approved the inclusionary housing ordinance as submitted, over the objections of their staff. CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS: None By proper motion, the Regular meeting of the Planning Commission of November 15, 2000 was adjourned at 9:59 p.m. I MINUTES ARE ALSO TAPED AND KEPT ON FILE UNTIL THE WRllTEN MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
