SENIOR CENTER GPA 03-09/ZC 03-06 DEPT. HD. CITY ATTY. CITY MGR RECOMMENDED ACTION: Project application(s) Negative Declaration GPA 03-09 ZC 03-06 CUP 03-18 That the City Council INTRODUCE Ordinance No. NS-692 , APPROVING Zone Change ZC 03-06, and ADOPT Resolution No. 2004-043 , APPROVING General Plan Amendment GPA 03-09, based on the findings contained therein. Reviewed by and Administrative Final at Planning To be Reviewed - Approvals Commission Final at Council X X X X The proposed project involves several actions needed to allow development of the proposed Northwest Quadrant Community Park in the area of Pine Avenue and Harding Street. The actions before Council are a request for a General Plan Amendment (GPA 03-09) and a Zone Change (ZC 03-06) to change the Land Use and Zoning designations of the site to Open Space as required by the General Plan Land Use Element. The other actions needed for the project (adoption of a Negative Declaration and approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 03-18)) were taken by the Planning Commission and were final at Planning Commission unless appealed. The project would allow the development and operation of a 7.52-acre community park on the former Pine School site. The proposed park elements include: a 20,000-s.f. community center building, a multi-purpose field, two basketball half-courts, batting cages, a tot lot, an ornamental community garden, a picnic area, and an amphitheater. The project would also allow the continued operation of the existing Senior Center (adjacent to the new park) under a combined CUP. (The Planning Commission's approval of the new CUP nullified the old Senior Center CUP 88-04x1.) The Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan was approved by the City Council on January 21, 2003 and the proposed park development is consistent with that Master Plan. The GPA is necessary to change the designations of two portions of the subject property. The larger portion (the 10.5-acre former Pine School site) is currently designated Elementary School (E) on the General Plan. The smaller portion (0.16-acre) consists of property fronting on Madison Street and currently designated Medium High Density Residential (RMH) by the General Plan. These properties were purchased by the City with the intent of utilizing them for park-related uses. The proposed GPA would change the designations of both areas to Open Space (OS). The OS designation is the most appropriate designation for park sites. The Zone Change (ZC 03-06) is necessary to maintain General Plan and zoning consistency. The zone change would apply only to the former residential properties fronting Madison (totaling 0.16- acre) and would replace the current Multiple Family Residential (R-3) zoning with Open Space (0-S) zoning . The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 17, 2003 to consider the proposed actions. They voted unanimously to approve the Negative Declaration and CUP 03-18 and to recommend approval of GPA 03-09 and ZC 03-06. I PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. 17,499 Growth Control Point Net Density Special Facility Fee ENVIRONMENTAL: n/a n/a n/a The proposed project was reviewed pursuant to CEQA requirements and was found to have no potentially significant impacts. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration was published on November 20, 2003 and no comments were received during the 20-day review period. The Planning Commission then adopted the Negative Declaration for the project at a public hearing on December 17, 2003. FISCAL IMPACT: The General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will have no fiscal impact upon the City. The actual development of the proposed park (CUP 03-18, approved by the Planning Commission) will have fiscal impacts. However, those impacts have already been taken into account by the inclusion of the estimated costs in the City's Capital Improvement Program.

Section 15063 requires that the Cin. conduct an En\iro~mit.nta! Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The En~~iroimienta! Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the fomi of a checklist. This checklist identifies any ph>,sical. biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the Civ ivith domution to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Segative Declaration. or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “KO Impact” answers that are adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A ”KO hipact“ amver is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not appl!, 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 significantly adverse, 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 Inipact” 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 significantly adverse. Based on an “EIA-Part 11”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant adverse effect on the environment, but potentially significant adverse 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. When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR if the significant adverse 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 adverse effect on the environment. If there are one or more potentially significant adverse effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce adverse 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. 4 Rev. 07/03/02 044 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked. and including but not linutrd to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant adverse 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 adverse impact to less than significant: (2) a “Statement of O\.erriding Considerations” for the significant adverse impact has not been made pursuant to ai1 earlier EIR: (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; or (4) through the EM-Part I1 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 nlitigation measures appears at the end of the forni under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION.

EARLIER ANALYSES t 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 fiom 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. c) 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. 14 Rev. 07/03/02 33 DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATIOK A General Plan Amendment to change the designation of 10.51 acres from Elementary School (E) to Open Space and to change the designation of 0.16 acres from Residential Medium High Density ( WlH) to Open Space: a Zone Change to change 0.16 acres from Multiple Family Residential (R-3) to Open Space (0-S): and a Conditio113l Cse Permit to allow the development of a Community Park over 7.36 acres on a ~'acant. graded site previousl!. oscupird by an elementary school. The park would include a 20,000-square foot Conmlunity Center building. 3 Ob.000-square foot multipurpose field, tot lot and picnic areas, shade structures and infoml stage. ornamental garden. parkin: areas and landscaping. The project also involves the installation of traffic calning devices and parallel parking bays in the excess right-of-way on Chesmut Avenue. The park site is located in an urbanized area of the Cit), and is surrounded by residential development. AESTHETICS No Impact. The project site is a relatively flat, previously developed pad; no scenic vistas or scenic resources exist on the site. The proposed development would involve fewer buildings and structures than associated with the previous elementary school and the proposed conmunit) center has been designed to be compatible and in scale \vith the adjacent and neighboring buildings. The proposed ball fields will have lighting: however the lighting will be IOU. sodium and will be shielded to prevent unnecessary light spillage onto adjacent properties. Additionally. standard park operations direct that all lights will be turned off at 1O:OO p.m. No impact assessed. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES No Impact. The project site is located within an urbanized area and was previously an elementary school. No agricultural operations have occurred on site and no prime farmland or Williamson Act lands exists on or near the proposed park site. No adverse impacts to agricultural resources will occur as a result of the proposed community park project. AIR QUALITY-Would the project: a) ' Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact. The project site is located in the San Diego Air Basin which is a federal and state non-attainment area for ozone (03), and a state non-attainment area for particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in diameter (PMlo). The periodic violations of national Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) in the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB), particularly for ozone in inland foothill areas, requires that a plan be developed outlining the pollution controls that will be undertaken to improve air quality. In San Diego County, this attainment planning process is embodied in the Regional Air Quality Strategies (RAQS) developed jointly by the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). A plan to meet the federal standard for ozone was developed in 1994 during the process of updating the 1991 state- mandated plan. Ths local plan was combined with plans from all other California non-attainment areas having serious ozone problems and used to create the Califomia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP was adopted by the Air Resources Board (ARB) after public hearings on November 9th through 10th in 1994, and was forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. After considerable analysis and debate, particularly regarding airsheds with the worst smog problems, EPA approved the SIP in mid-1996. The proposed project relates to the SIP andlor RAQS through the land use and growth assumptions that are mcorporated into the air quality planning document. These growth assumptions are based on each city's and the County's general plan. If a proposed project is consistent with its applicable General Plan, then the project presumably has been anticipated with the regional air quality planning process. Such consistency would ensure that the project would not have an adverse regional air quality impact. Section 15 125(B) of the State of California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines contains specific reference to the need to evaluate any inconsistencies between the proposed project and the applicable air quality management plan. Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) are part of the RAQS. The RAQS and TCM plan set forth the steps needed to accomplish attainment of state and federal ambient air quality standards. The California Air Resources Board provides criteria for determining whether a project 'conforms with the RAQS which include the following: 33- 15 Rev. 07/03/02 0 Is a regional air quality plan being implemented in the project area'? Is the project consistent with the growth assumptions in the regional air quality plan? The project area is located in the San Diego Air Basin. and as such. is located in an area \vhere B RAQS IS being implemented. The project is consistent with the gronzh assumptions of the Cin.'s General Plan and the RAYS. Therefore, the project is consistent \\.it11 the regional air quality plan and \vi11 in no \la!- conflict or obsmict implementation of the regional plan. a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an esisting or projected air quality violation? Less Than Significant Impact. The closest air quality monitoring station to the project site is in the City of Oceanside. Data available for this monitoring site through, April. 2002 indicate that the most recent air quality violations recorded were for the state one hour standard for ozone (one day in both 2000 and 2001) and one day in 2001 for the federal 8-hour average for ozone and one day for the 23-hour state standard for suspended particulates in 1996. No violations of any other air quality standards have been recorded recently. (Add the following test addressing short-term emissions, if there is grading associated with the project.) The project \vould involve minimal short-term emissions associated with grading and construction. Such emissions would be minimized through standard construction measures such as the use of properly tuned equipment and watering the site for dust control. Long-term emissions associated with travel to and from the project will be minimal. Although air pollutant emissions would be associated with the project, they would neither result in the violation of any air quality standard (comprising only an incremental contribution to overall air basin quality readings), nor contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Any impact is assessed as less than significant. b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less Than Significant Impact. The Air Basin is currently in a non-attainment zone for ozone and suspended fine particulates. The proposed project would represent a contribution to a cumulatively considerable potential net increase in emissions throughout the air basin. As described above, however, emissions associated with the proposed project would be minimal. Given the limited emissions potentially associated with the proposed project, air quality would be essentially the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented. According to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15 130 (a)(4), the proposed project's contribution to the cumulative impact is considered de ntinimus. Any impact is assessed as less than significant. c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? No Impact. As noted above, the proposed project would not result in substantial pollutant emissions or concentrations. In addition, there are no sensitive receptors (e.g., schools or hospitals) located in the vicinity of the project. No impact is assessed. d) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? No Impact. The construction of the proposed project could generate fumes from the operation of construction equipment, which may be considered objectionable by some people. Such exposure would be short-term or transient. In addition, the number of people exposed to such transient impacts is not considered substantial. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES No Impact. As stated above the project site was previously completely developed as an elementary school and no native vegetation or habitats exist on or near the property. There a several mature trees on the site, some of which would remain with the park development. In addition, no sensitive or endangered species reside or use the property. The City's Habitat Management Plan does not identify the site for preservation and no local policies or ordinances exist regarding the removal of mature non-native trees. Therefore, no adverse impacts to biological resources will occur. 16 Rev. 07/03/02 36 CULTURAL RESOURCES No Impact. have no impact on cultural resources. No recorded archeological sites are located aithin or near the project site. Therefore. the project nil1 GEOLOGY AND SOILS NO Impact. The project proposes minor earthwork comprising 3,400 cubic yards of cut, 3,500 cubic yards of fill and up to 1,000 cubic yards of import. Ths represents approxinlately 350 cubic yards per acre. All prading must follow the City of Carlsbad Engineering Standards. According to the City of Carlsbad Geotechnical Hazard Analysis and Mapping Study, no unusual geotechnical or seismic conditions exist on the project site. The park site is lot located within a Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone and is not subject to liquefaction or landslides. Therefore no adverse impacts due to geology or soils will occur. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS No Impact. The proposed community park development would not cause any significant impacts with regard to hazards or hazardous materials. The site for the park is not designated as a hazardous nlaterials site nor is it located wihn an alrport land use plan or proximity to an airstrip. No uses other than the passive and active play areas are proposed therefore no significant sources of hazardous emissions or materials are anticipated. The project is require to maintain an all-weather access road throughout construction and pro\ride for emergency fire pretension water on site prior to the storage of any hazardous construction materials. Therefore, the Northwest Quadrant Community Park development would not produce any significant adverse impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY No Impact. No adverse hydrologic conditions or impacts are anticipated with the proposed community park development. No wells or deep excavation are proposed therefore no impacts to groundwater supplies, recharge, or quality will occur. The site grading closely follows the existing topography thus continuing to direct surface drainage towards the existing surface drainage systems on the surrounding local streets. The project site is not withm the 100-year floodplain nor is it subject to flooding, seiches, tsunamis, or mudslides. The project is designed with Best Management Practices for storm water quality, including swales and subsurface drainage features, and must comply with the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. Therefore, the proposed community park project will not cause any significant adverse impacts to hydrology and water quality. LAND USE AND PLANNING No Impact. The project site is currently vacant, with the exception of an existing baseball field and is surrounded by existing roadways; therefore redevelopment of the site will not physically divide an established community. The proposed park development is consistent with and supportive to the surrounding residential, church, and education uses in the area. No impact assessed. MINERAL RESOURCES No Impact. There are no known mineral resources within the project area and no locally important mineral resource recovery site is delineated within the City’s General Plan or other land use plan. No loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region or the residents of the State will occur. Therefore, the proposed Northwest Quadrant Community Park project will not produce any significant adverse impacts to mineral resources. NOISE No Impact. POPULATION AND HOUSING No Impact. The Northwest Quadrant Community Park project does not propose any residential development and will provide needed recreational opportunities to the existing and future residents of the City. The amount of park 17 Rev. 07/03/02 37 acreage needed to serve the community is determined through the City‘s Groazh Managenient Plan and 1s tled to the maximum amount of residential dwelling units possible in the area: therefore, development of the park ~ould not induce substantial growth to the area. KO existing housing exists on site nor uses the property for access and no displacement of any people would occur with redevelopment of the site. Should the Cit). Council adopt a 11011- residential affordable housing linkage fee prior to the issuance of building pemits. the project is conditioned to pa! such a fee to compensate for the fair share costs of constructing housing affordable to lo\ver income householdj. Therefore. the proposed community park project will not produce any significant adverse inipacts to population and housing. PUBLIC SERVICE KO Impact. The proposed 7.7-acre community park will not result in the need for new or physically altered government facilities in that it complies with all requirements and standards of the City’s Gron-th Managemeni Program. It is located in proximity to Fire Station #I and is served by the Carlsbad Police Department. Since no residential development is proposed, the project would not generate additional student demand for the Carlsbad Unified School District. All other public facilities are required to be in place concurrent, or prior to. construction. Therefore, the Northwest Quadrant Community Park project \vi11 not produce any significant adverse impacts to public services. RECREATION No Impact. The proposed development consists of a 7.7-acre community park with active and passive field areas and a 20,000-square foot community center. Provision of the park will increase recreational opportunities in the City, therefore no adverse environmental impacts to recreation will occur with the construction and operation of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC-Would the project: a) Cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system? Less Than Significant Impact. The project will generate 390 Average Daily Trips (ADT) and 25 peak hour trips. This traffic will utilize the following roadways: Harding Street, Pine Avenue, Madison Street, and Chesmut Avenue. While the increase in traffic from the proposed project may be slightly noticeable, the street system has been designed and sized to accommodate traffic from the project and cumulative development in the City of Carlsbad. The proposed project would not, therefore, cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. The impacts from the proposed project are, therefore, less than significant. b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? Less Than Significant Impact. SANDAG acting as the County Congestion Management Agency has designated three roads (Rancho Santa Fe Rd., El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Rd.) and two highway segments in Carlsbad as part of the regional circulation system. The Existing and Build-out average daily traffic (ADT) and Existing LOS on these designated roads and highways in Carlsbad is: Existing ADT* Build-out ADT* Rancho Santa Fe Road 15-32 “A-C” 28-43 El Camino Real 21-50 “#-C” 32-65 Palomar Airport Road 10-52 “A-B” 29-77 SR 78 120 “F” 144 *The numbers are in thousands of daily trips. 1-5 183- 198 “D” 219-249 The Congestion Management Program’s (CMP) acceptable Level of Service (LOS) standard is “E, or LOS “F” if that was the LOS in the 1990 base year (e.g., SR 78 in Carlsbad was LOS “F” in 1990). Accordingly, all designated roads and hghways are currently operating at or better than the acceptable standard LOS. 18 Rev. 07/03/02 38 Note that the build-out ADT projections are based on the full implenientation of the region's general and conmiunin. plans. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan and. therefore. its traffic ~zts used in modeling tilt. build-out projections. Achievement of the CMP acceptable Level of Senice (LOS) "E" standard assumes mplementation of the adopted CMP strategies. Based on the design capacityties) of the designated roads and highways and implementation of the CMP strategies. they \vi11 function at acceptable level(s) of senice in the shon- term and at build-our. a) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? No Impact. The proposed project does not include any aviation components. The project is consistent nith the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the McClellan-Palomar Airport. It would not. therefore. result in a change of air traffic patterns or result in substantial safety risks. No impact assessed. b) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses? No Impact. All project circulation improvements will be designed and constructed to City standards: and, therefore. would not result in design hazards. The proposed project is consistent with the City's general plan and zoning. Therefore, it would not increase hazards due to an incompatible use. No impact assessed. c) Result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact. The proposed project has been designed to .satisfy the emergency requirements of the Fire and Police Departments. No impact assessed. 4 Result in inadequate parking capacity? No Impact. The proposed project is not requesting a parking variance. Additionally, the project would comply with the City's parking requirements to ensure an adequate parking supply. No impact assessed. e) Conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks, etc.)? No Impact. The project is located in an urbanized area. It is anticipated that many users of this park will walk to the site or use other alternative transportation. The project will be conditioned to install bike racks. No impact assessed. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS No Impact. The proposed community park is required to provide all necessary utility and service systems necessary to serve the development concurrent or prior to construction. The proposed 4 EDUs of wastewater can be accommodated in the local system without the need for expansions. The Carlsbad Municipal Water District has indicated that there are adequate water supply and water distribution systems to serve the proposed park development. The project also complies with all applicable regulations, including that for solid waste. Therefore, the proposed Northwest Quadrant Community Park will not cause any significant adverse impacts to utilities and service systems.

INTRODUCTION The proposal involves two components: a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to change the Land Use and Zoning designations of the site to Open Space as required by the General Plan Land Use Element; and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the development and operation of a 7.52 acre community park, and continued operation of the Senior Center. The Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan was approved by the City Council on January 21, 2003 and the proposed park development is consistent with that Master Plan. Staff is also proposing to incorporate the existing Senior Center into the new Conditional Use Permit (CUP 03-18) and nullify the existing Senior Center CUP (CUP 88-04x1). The proposed development complies with all applicable regulations and staff has no issues with the proposal. 111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The City of Carlsbad Recreation Department is requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Conditional Use Permit, and Negative Declaration to allow the development and operation of a community park in the Northwest Quadrant and to incorporate the existing Senior Center into the new CUP. The site is located west of Harding Street, between GPA 03-09/ZC 03-O6/CI.JP 03-18 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AND SENIOR CENTER December 17,2003 Pine Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, a majority of which used to be occupied by Pine Elementary School. The remaining portions of the park site include a portion of the Senior Center property at the southwest comer of Harding Street and Pine Avenue (currently a small parking lot and landscaped area) and several parcels fronting on Madison Street near the northeast comer of Madison Street and Chestnut Avenue (currently single family homes). The main portion of the site is designated Elementary School (E) in the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and zoned Open Space (0-S). The parcels on Madison Street are designated Residential Medium High Density (RMH) in the General Plan and zoned Multiple Family Residential (R-3). North of the park site, across Pine Avenue, are the Carlsbad Community Church complex and some residential uses. To the east, across Harding Street, are multifamily apartment buildings. South of the site, across Chestnut Avenue, are Chase Field and single family homes and to the west, across the existing alley, are single-family homes. The majority of the park site was previously occupied by Pine Elementary School, which was closed in 2001. The school buildings were removed from the site in 2002; however, several features still remain on the site. The Centro de Informacion (Centro) and the Stay and Play after school program are contained in modular buildings along the westem portion of the site, operating under the authorization of Conditional Use Permit CUP 02-13, approved in July 2002. The associated site improvements include a hard court playground, tetherball courts and a tot lot. Also on the site is an active baseball field, with backstop, bleachers, and a scoreboard. The proposed park will include: a community center building, a multi-purpose field, two basketball half-courts, batting cages, a tot lot, an ornamental community garden, a picnic area, and an amphitheater. The proposed community center will be located on the northeast comer of the project site at Harding and Pine. It will consist of approximately 20,000 square feet of use area for an activity center, fitness room, teen center, multi-purpose room, showers, office area, and other areas. The community center will be a 35-foot high single-story structure. The structure will incorporate stucco in two colors (cream and sunrise), colored honed concrete block, and tile (blues and yellow) and will be compatible with the adjacent Senior Center. The southern elevation will incorporate a stucco trellis area. The building will have a standing seam metal (copper) roof with exposed wood beams. To the south of the new community center will be a parking area. Along the northern side of Chestnut Avenue will be the multi-purpose field. The field will incorporate artificial turf. The center of the project site will contain a tot lot with play sand area and an amphitheater consisting of a tiered shade structure covering an informal stage. The western perimeter (the formerly residential parcels) will contain an ornamental community garden. The garden will be surrounded by a 6-foot high wooden fence. This passive use was chosen for these parcels in consideration of the existing surrounding residential uses. (Note: The garden portion of the park site may be used temporarily to accommodate the Centro de Informacion. The City is currently considering several locations which might provide a temporary or permanent home for the Centro. However, no decisions have been made at this point regarding a specific site. If the City decides to pursue use of the ornamental garden to house the Centro temporarily, it will be necessary to process a separate CUP or an Amendment to the park CUP to do so.) The proposed ball field will be lighted; however, such lighting will be of low intensity and will be shielded to prevent unnecessary light spillage. The ball field lights will be turned off at 1O:OO p.m. in accordance with current City park rules. GPA 03-09/ZC 03-06/CUP 03-18 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AND SENIOR CENTER December 17,2003 Page 3 The proposed park, combined with the existing Senior Center, will require and provide 255 parking spaces. This will require that the City terminate an expired shared parking agreement with the Carlsbad Community Church on the north side of Pine Avenue. That parking agreement (approved in 1990) allowed the Church exclusive use of the Senior Center parking lot (approximately 135 spaces) for church attendees on Sundays between 7:30 a.m. and 1:OO p.m. and at other times when not in conflict with Senior Center activities. In exchange, the City (Housing and Redevelopment Commission) was allowed to use 87 parking spaces in a lot on Harding Street for special public events when those events do not conflict with Church operations. With the development of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park, the parking spaces adjacent to the Senior Center will need to be available to the City at all times in order to meet the parking requirements for the combined Community Park and Senior Center. The termination of the shared parking agreement is not expected to result in any actual hardship to the church since attendance at the church has been less than the maximum for which it was approved. Thus, very few church members actually use the Senior Center parking area currently. The CUP for the church (CUP 297) did not count the Senior Center parking spaces toward the code-required parking for the church. Therefore no amendment to the church CUP is required as a result of the termination of the parking agreement. Finally, if approved, the CUP requested for the new Northwest Quadrant Community Park would incorporate the existing Senior Center and its parking area, nullifying the existing CUP 88-04 for the Senior Center. Because the new park facilities and the Senior Center are related civic uses and will share parking areas, it is appropriate that they be merged under one CUP. The conditions of approval which apply to the Senior Center, have been merged with the conditions for the park and included in the attached CUP resolution. The Northwest Quadrant Community Park project involves two legislative actions (General Plan Amendment and Zone Change) and is subject to the following regulations: A. General Plan; B. C. D. E. Open Space Zone (Chapter 21.33 of the Zoning Ordinance); Conditional Use Permit regulations (Chapter 21.42 of the Zoning Ordinance); Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Zoning Ordinance); and Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. IV. ANALYSIS The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency with the applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis section discusses the proposed legislative actions and the project’s compliance with each of the applicable regulations/policies.

The proposed park use will Yes General Plan Amendment The proposed project involves a General Plan Amendment to change the current General Plan designations on two portions of the subject property. The larger portion of the site (the former Pine Elementary School site) is currently designated Elementary School (E) on the General Plan. The proposed project would change that designation to Open Space (OS), which is the appropriate designation for the proposed park use. The smaller portion of the project site consists of property fronting on Madison Street currently designated High Density Residential (RMH) by the General Plan. This portion of the property previously contained residences. The properties were purchased by the City with the intent of utilizing them for park-related uses. The proposed project includes use of these parcels to accommodate an ornamental garden. (This more passive use would be located here in consideration of the existing residential uses adjacent to the area.) The change of General Plan designation from RMH to OS on these properties would more correctly reflect the nature of the proposed park use. General Plan Consistency The proposed Northwest Quadrant Community Park proposal is consistent with the applicable policies and programs of the General Plan. Particularly relevant to the community park development request are the Land Use and Open Space and Conservation Elements. Table 1 (below) indicates how the project is consistent with these particular elements of the General Plan. TABLE 1 - GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY Element Land Use Open Space and Conservation Use Classification, Goal, Objective I Proposed Use and I Compliance or Propram Overall Land Use Pattern Objective C.8 - “Provide for a sufficient diversity of land uses so that schools, parks and recreations areas, . . . are available in close proximity to each Improvements The proposed use is a public park to be located in close proximity to the residences and businesses in the northwest quadrant of the Yes Goal A.4 - “A city with an adequate amount and variety of open space for outdoor recreation, including, but not provide a needed recreational opportunity for the residents of the northwest quadrant of limited to: parks; . . .” I the City. Given the above, the proposed Northwest Quadrant Community Park project is consistent with the various elements of the General Plan. GPA 03-09/ZC 03-06/CUP 03-18 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AND SENIOR CENTER December 17,2003 B. Open Space Zone Zone Change The bulk of the subject property (the area of the previous Pine Elementary School and the existing Senior Center) is already zoned 0-S (Open Space) and, therefore, is already subject to the OS Zone regulations (Chapter 21.33 of the Municipal Code). The portion of the project site currently bearing an RMH General Plan designation (those parcels previously developed with homes) carries a zoning designation of R-3 (Multiple Family Residential). This project would change the zoning on those parcels to 0-S to maintain consistency with the proposed OS General Plan designation and to put the most appropriate zoning on the property. Zoning Regulations Compliance According to Section 21.33.040 of the Open Space zone, features and uses such as playfields, athletic fields, and public structures are allowed in the Open Space zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Section C below discusses the project’s compliance with the Conditional Use Regulations. With regard to development standards, the Open Space zone only regulates lot area and building height. No subdivision of land is proposed with the community park development and the Open Space regulations merely state that the size of the lot shall be dependent upon the existing or proposed use. The maximum building height allowed in the Open Space zone is 25 feet unless, as stated in Section 21.33.060 of the ordinance, additional height is allowed through a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission. Chapter 2 1.42 (Conditional Uses) states that the height and area regulations of the underlying zone (e.g., the 0-S Zone) in which the project is located shall prevail unless a specific finding is made to allow an exemption to the underlying limit/requirement. The proposed height of the community center (35 feet) exceeds the height allowed by the underlying 0-S Zone (25 feet); therefore, an exemption is required to approve the additional height. Although the proposed community center is a single-story structure, it does require additional height to accommodate the proposed uses of the facility and to implement the building design approved in the Park Master Plan. The proposed Community Center building in the northeast portion of the site would reach a maximum height of 35 feet. The proposed structure height is consistent with other similar park facilities throughout the city. In addition, other uses in the vicinity of the project site already have approved heights exceeding the proposed Community Center height. The proposed community center would be adjacent to the existing Senior Center.building (also located within the Open Space zone), which has a maximum building height of 33 feet. To the north of the project site, across Pine Avenue, is the Carlsbad Community Church property that contains a multi-purpose building reaching 49 feet in height. While there are some residential buildings, which generally have lower building heights, in the area, those are not the predominant uses. Staff believes that, given the urbanized nature of the area surrounding the project site and the building height of the existing buildings adjacent and near the project site, the proposed 35-foot- high community center building would be compatible with the surrounding uses and structures. Therefore, staff has included a finding in the attached CUP resolution to allow the requested height limit exemption. 45- GPA 03-09/ZC 03-06/CUP 03-1 8 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AND SENIOR CENTER December 17,2003 Page 6 C. Conditional Use Ordinance According to Sections 21.33.040(3), (4), and (7), playfields and athletic fields, public structures, and other related cultural, entertainment, and recreational activities and facilities are permitted in the Open Space zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) pursuant to the provisions contained in Chapter 21.42 and 21.50 of the Zoning Ordinance. Four findings must be made in order to approve a CUP. These findings, and the ways in which the project satisfies the findings, are discussed in Table 2 (below). (The required CUP findings have previously been made for the Senior Center and need not be made again.) TABLE 2 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS AND RESPONSES FINDING That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, including, if applicable, the certified local coastal program, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use. RESPONSE The proposed park use is desirable to provide a recreational opportunity for the residents of the northwest quadrant of the city and will be harmonious with the proposed Open Space General Plan designation and has been designed to not be detrimental to surrounding uses by the placement of more passive use areas closer to surrounding residences and provision of a wooden screening fence. The project site is adequate in size and shape in that the site can accommodate the proposed uses and can provide all required parking, screening and other amenities. The proposed project includes a wooden screening fence and large areas of landscaping to properly screen the use from other surrounding uses and all lighting will be low-intensity and will be screened to prevent unnecessary light spillage and lights will be turned off at 1O:OO p.m. The street system serving the project consists of local roadways which can handle the anticipated 390 ADT to be generated by the proposed project and all required parking (255 spaces) can be provided. D. Growth Management Ordinance The Northwest Quadrant Community Park project is a non-residential project. Therefore many of the Growth Management performance standards do not apply. The development of the proposed park will contribute toward meeting the Growth Management park requirement for the Northwest Quadrant. Table 3 (below) details the project’s compliance with the applicable standards. 46 GPA 03-09/ZC 03-06/CUP 03-18 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AhrD SENIOR CENTER December 17,2003 Pane 7 Standard City Administration ImpactdStandard Compliance NIA NIA I Library I NIA I NIA I Circulation Fire Open Space Schools Water I Waste Water Treatment I 4 EDU I Yes I 390 ADT Yes Station #1 Yes N/A NIA NIA NIA 880 GPD Yes I Parks I NIA I NIA I I Drainage I PLDA B I Yes I Given the above, the proposed community park development is consistent with the Growth Management Ordinance. E. Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) The Northwest Quadrant Community Park and Senior Center site are located in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. No special development requirements, such as roadway construction or other infrastructure requirements, apply to this park development. Since the park is to be located on a previously developed site, and the Senior Center already exists, all existing facilities and services are adequate to accommodate the proposed use. Therefore, the project is consistent with thezone 1 LFMP. V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Conditional Use Permit for development of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park were reviewed for any potential adverse impacts to the environment pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed community park, as designed and conditioned, would not create significant adverse environmental impacts. No sensitive habitat or agricultural operations exist on the previously developed site. The project is consistent with the applicable regulations; will be graded in accordance with the City’s Grading Ordinance and City Standards; will comply with the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit; and will provide all facilities and services necessary to serve the development prior to, or concurrent with, construction. Given this environmental analysis, a Notice of Intent to Issue a Negative Declaration was published on November 20,2003. No public comments were received during the 20-day public review period. The Senior Center underwent environmental review previously and a Negative Declaration was approved. No new environmental review is required to merge the existing Senior Center use into the new combined CUP. 41 GPA 03-09/ZC 03-06/CUF’ 03-1 8 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AND SENIOR CENTER December 17,2003 Page 8 ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

It also serves notice that the City will not be extending the Agreement. The Agreement, dated March 20th, 1991, formally allowed CCC’s exclusive use of parking at the Carlsbad Senior Center in exchange for the City’s exclusive use of the CCC’s parking lot on the comer of Harding Street and Oak Street, both during specific Fme periods. The Agreement allowed extensions beyond the original term, but the City has chosen not to extend the agreement so that instead the Senior Center parking lot could help serve the needs of the future park. Since the Senior Center parking lot is a public lot, CCC is welcome to use it when not conflict with the City’s use. The City intends to continue use of CCC’s parking lot at the intersection of Harding Street and Oak Street when not in conflict with CCC’s use, unless otherwise directed. Thank you for your attention into this matter. Sincerely, kaymond R.

GPA 03-09RC 03-O6/CUP 03-18 - NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK AND SENIOR CENTER - Request for a Negative Declaration; A General Plan Amendment to change the designation of 10.51 acres from Elementary School (E) to Open Space and to change the designation of 0.16 acres from Residential Medium High Density (RMH) to Open Space; a Zone Change to change 0.16 acres from Multiple Family Residential (R-3) to Open Space (O-S); and a Conditional Use Permit to allow the development of a Community Park over 7.36 acres on a vacant, graded site previously occupied by Pine Elementary School, and continued operation of the Senior Center, in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. Mr. Neu introduced Item 4 and stated that Senior Planner, Elaine Blackburn, would make the presentation. Chairperson Baker opened the public hearing on Item 4 and asked the applicant if he wanted to continue with only five Commissioners. He stated he did. Senior Planner, Elaine Blackburn, presented the Staff Report stating that Item 4 was for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. The park site is the former Pine Elementary School as well as three parcels on Madison Street and the existing Senior Center, which has its own CUP, which would be combined with the new CUP. Currently on the site in modular buildings are the Centro de Information and the Stay and Play after school program. The proposed project involves the 7.52-acre community park and the incorporation of the existing Senior Center. The actions before the Planning Commission are a Negative Declaration, which decision would be final, and the General Plan Amendment, which would go to the City Council. The General Plan Amendment is to change the General Plan designation of the former school site from E to Open Space, and also to change the designation on the three residential parcels on Madison Street, which the City owns, from RMH to Open Space. There is also a Zone Change which would go to Council and would affect the Madison Street parcels to change the zoning from Residential to Open Space. Finally, a Conditional Use Permit for the park itself and incorporates the Senior Center CUP. That decision would be final with the Planning Commission unless appealed. This park has been under design and review for more than a year and the park’s conceptual Master Plan was approved by the City Council in January of 2003 after a lot of public input, including four public workshops, (three general workshops, one of which was attended by Council). There was also a special workshop for children. The park elements include a Community Center Building of approximately 20,000 sq ft that will house a gymnasium and multi-purpose activity room for teens. There will be a multi-purpose field that will accommodate either two soccer fields or one adult softball field. There will be two basketball half courts, a batting cage area, a tot lot, a small informal amphitheatre, and picnic area with tables. There will also be an ornamental community garden in the area near the residential units on Madison. Chestnut Avenue is approximately 80 feet wide and there will be traffic-calming measures installed to slow traffic around the park. In particular, there will be a traffic circle where Jefferson comes into the park property on the south side. Also, there will be some strip medians, some pop-outs or chokers, some enhanced paving, and some parallel parking spaces on both sides of the street. Ms. Blackburn pointed out on a site map where the Community Center would be in Area 1. Area 12 would be south of that and would have the fields. Area 4 would have the amphitheatre with graded levels which would serve as built-in modified stadium seating. She stated that there would be a 6-foot wooden fence around the ornamental garden area. With regard to parking, the combined use of the Senior Center and the Park requires a total of 255 spaces and 256 will be provided. Staff recommends approval. Commissioner Montgomery stated that there were many groups using the Pine field, including Pop Warner Football, soccer teams, adult softball, Pony and Colt baseball teams, and high school baseball. He stated that all of those teams were accommodated except for the high school team. He asked Ms. Blackburn if she knew what the Parks and Recreation Department had done to relocate the high school team. Ms. Blackburn stated that notifications regarding the workshops and inputs into the park design were provided to everyone involved and asked Mark Steyaert from the City Parks and Recreation Department to address this question. Mr. Steyaert stated that the fields at Poinsettia and the new field at Aviara, which would closely correspond to when this field will be taken out of service, would accommodate the junior varsity group. Commissioner Montgomery noted that the high school baseball team would need a field with a permanent mound rather than the temporary one at this new field. Mr. Planning Commission Minutes December 17,2003 Page 5 Steyaert stated that they were aware of that need and would be considering that in the final design for the Aviara field. Commissioner Segall stated that the City Council recently postponed the Community Center at Aviara. He asked if the Planning Commission’s approval of this Park and Community Center was subject to the availability of funds as determined by the City Council. Mr. Steyaert stated that the Planning Commission was approving the Master Plan for the Park, and that the Community Center would be phased in. Commissioner Segall asked if that was included in next year’s budget. Mr. Steyaert said that the Park was, but not the Community Center. Cornmissioner Segall asked if parking spaces would be lost on Chestnut when the traffic-calming measures were installed. Mr. Steyaert responded that up to four parking spaces total would be lost for the pop-outs. Commissioner Segall stated his concern that that park didn’t have any on-site parking and he didn’t want to see spaces lost. Chairperson Baker opened public testimony and invited to the podium those who would like to speak. Seeing none she closed public testimony. Chairperson Baker congratulated the Parks Staff on a beautiful design. Commissioner Montgomery agreed that it was a beautiful design and urged the Parks Commission and the City Council to consider that much of the character of a community comes from the athletics of its schools and that many of the schools needed to reach out to the City for their sports’ needs. Commissioner Heineman remarked to Mr. Price and Mr. Steyaert that in thinking back to his many years on the Parks and Recreation Commission that he never thought it would happen and that it looked beautiful. Commissioner Segall stated that he supported the project. Commissioner White stated that it was a great asset. Chairperson Baker called for a vote. MOTION ACTION: Motion by Commissioner White, and duly seconded, that the Planning Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 5523, adopting a Negative Declaration and adopt Planning Commission Resolutions No. 5524 and 5525, recommending approval of General Plan Amendment GPA 03-09 and Zone Change 03-06, and adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 5526, approving Conditional Use Permit CUP 03-1 8, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. VOTE: 5-0 AYES: NOES: None Baker, Heineman, Montgomery, Segall and White Chairperson Baker closed the public hearing on Item 4 and asked Mr. Neu to introduce the next Item.
