On April 21, 2004, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the proposed
amendment to the La Costa Glen site plan and residential unit mix. As required by the Green Valley
Master Plan, both the Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit were previously
approved by the City Council, and, therefore, amendments to these permits must also be acted on by
the City Council. Because the project is within 100 feet of a wetland, the Coastal Development
Permit is appealable to the Coastal Commission.
The request is to amend the site plan and residential unit mix of the remaining un-built “north site” to
accommodate 31 1 independent living units, 52 villa units (23 attached and 29 garden villas), a
commons building, recreation building, and a maintenance building on 27.76 acres. If approved, the
amended site plan and uses will replace the current approval, which consists of 1 17 villa units and no
common use buildings.
Current La Costa Glen residents attended the Planning Commission hearing and those who spoke
were in favor of the future expansion of the La Costa Glen community.
The Planning Commission discussed the merits of the proposed amendments, and voted 7-0 to
approve an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and to recommend approval of an amendment
to both the Site Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit to the City Council.
A full disclosure of the Planning Commission’s discussion is included in the attached minutes. A
complete description and staff analysis of the proposed amendments is included in the attached
report to the Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The proposed project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Staff prepared an initial study for the project and concluded that since the proposed
changes to the project are confined to the same footprint of development as the original approval;
that the anticipated Average Daily Traffic (ADT) will be less than assessed in the Green Valley
Master Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 92-03); and that the project will
implement the same mitigation measures adopted for the Master Plan for secondary impacts such as shielding lighting adjacent to the riparian corridor, that no potentially significant impacts would result

with the implementation of the project that were not previously examined and evaluated in the Final
Program Environmental Impact Report for EIR 92-03, dated February 1996. EIR 92-03 evaluated the
potential environmental effects of the development and operation of the “Green Valley Master Plan’’
including analysis of traffic circulation, water quality, biological resources, land use and landform
alteration and associated actions inclusive of development of the Master Plan Planning Area 3.

N/A
NIA
N/A
The City Council certified EIR 92-03 in February 1996. At that time CEQA Findings of Fact, a
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were
approved. All mitigation measures contained in the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program from EIR 92-03 that are applicable to the proposed project have been completed in phase
one of the development plan, incorporated into the project design or are required as ongoing
conditions of approval for the overall project. The EIR 92-03 “Findings of Fact and Statement of
Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the Green Valley Master
Plan Final Program EIR.
The proposed project will not have effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR since the
proposed changes to the project are confined to the same footprint of development as the program
analyzed earlier; that the proposed onsite landscape and recreation improvements are similar is size
and scope as the program analyzed earlier; and that the anticipated Average Daily Traffic (ADT) will
be less than that projected in the program analyzed earlier. This project is within the scope of Final
Program EIR 92-03 and no further CEQA compliance is required. EIR 92-03 and the respective
initial studies for each application are available in the Planning Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impacts to the City have been identified. All improvements and operations will be funded
by the applicant.

WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors
relating to the Site Development Plan Amendment; and
WHEREAS, on April 6, 1999, the City Council approved, SDP 98-01, as
described and conditioned in Planning Commission Resolution No. 4447.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning
Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of LA COSTA GLEN -
NORTH SITE - SDP 98-01(A) based on the following findings and subject to
the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental
settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will
not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation, in that a continuing care retirement community is considered an
alternative for the long-term residential, social, and health care needs of
California’s elderly residents, and a way to provide a continuum of care, to
minimize transfer trauma, and to allow for the provision of social and health care
services in an appropriately licensed setting. The project is consistent with all the
requirements of the Green Valley Master Plan and Final Program EIR 92-03. The
City Council approved the Master Plan in 1996 and made the finding that the Green
Valley Master Plan implements the General Plan and is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the General Plan. The first phase of the project, through
implementation of the Master Plan, provided for the following: (1) the provision of
the necessary circulation element roadways and improvements (Levante Street,
Calle Barcelona, and El Camino Real); (2) the protection and enhancement of the
wetland and upland areas within open space lots; (3) the construction of a public
trail; (4) provisions for affordable housing; (5) implementation of the mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting program for Program EIR 92-03; and, (6) compliance
with the Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 23 for public facilities and services.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the project meets or exceeds all City policies and the development standards of
the Green Valley Master Plan, including landscaping, pedestrian access, lot size and

coverage, building setbacks, parking, building height, recreational open space, and
recreational vehicle storage.
That all 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, in that the buildings are isolated from surrounding
development and no special adjustments are necessary to make the project
compatible.
That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed onsite private street system has
been designed to meet all of the City private street design standards including back
up distance, corner sight visibility, street widths, intersection spacing, and length of
cul-de-sacs. All off-site public street improvements have been completed by an
earlier phase of this project. No additional off-site public street improvements are
necessary.
The Planning Director has determined that:
a. the project is a subsequent activity of the Green Valley Master Plan for which a
program EIR was prepared, and a notice for the activity has been given, which
includes statements that this activity is within the scope of the program approved
earlier, and that the program EIR adequately describes the activity for the
purposes of CEQA];
b. this project is consistent with the Master Plan cited above;
c. EIR 92-03 was certified in connection with the prior Master Plan;
d. the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant
in the prior EIR;
e. none of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent EIR or a Supplemental EIR
under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15 162 or 15 163 exist;
f. all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR 92-03
which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been completed in phase
one, incorporated into this Subsequent Project, or are required as ongoing
conditions of approval for the overall project.
The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance
with the Elements of the City’s General Plan and Green Valley Master Plan based on
the facts set forth in the staff report dated March 3,2004 including, but not limited to the
following:
a. Land Use - Residential Medium-High (RMH) is characterized as urban multiple
residential areas with two story condominium or apartment developments.

11. INTRODUCTION
Consistent with the original discretionary actions, the Planning Commission will make a
recommendation to the City Council for both the Site Development Plan and Coastal
Development Permit amendments. The Planning Commission will have final discretion over the
Conditional Use Permit Amendment.
The Site Development Plan is a review of the site plan and architecture. The Coastal
Development Permit is a review of the project’s compliance with applicable Local Coastal
Program regulations. The Conditional Use Permit is a review of the operational aspects of the
project as well as the site plan and architecture.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The project is an amendment to a 55-acre continuing care retirement community that was
approved in April 1999. The 1999 approval was for a health center with 79 skilled nursing beds
and 71 assisted living units, 229 independent living apartment units and 33 personal care suites,
171 duplex and detached villas, a commons building with dining room, a recreation building and
outdoor recreation facilities.

All of the 229 independent living apartment units, personal care suites, health center, recreation
building, swimming pool, other recreation facilities, and 54 of the duplex and detached villas
have been constructed.
The owner of the property, Continuing Life Communities, has proposed the change to the Site
Development Plan because it has become apparent through the construction and leasing of the
first phase of La Costa Glen, that there is a much greater demand for the independent care
apartment units than there is for the villas. The owner has indicated that there is a desire to add
more recreational facilities onsite for the existing and future residents. Finally, with the overall
increase in the number of residents that this amendment would allow, an additional dining room
is necessary and has been included in the new commons building.
The proposed amendment replaces the remaining 117 duplex and detached villas with 31 1
independent living apartment units, 52 attached and detached villas, a commons building with
dining room, a recreation building which houses an indoor swimming pool, and a six hole golf
course.
The project has been designed in the same Mediterranean style as the first phase and uses the
same colors, exterior stucco materials, and barrel roof tile. The maximum building height is 35
feet. There are seven independent living unit floorplans ranging in size from approximately 647
square feet for a one-bedroom to approximately 1,419 square feet for a two-bedroom. Four of
the seven floorplans are one-bedroom the remaining three are two-bedroom units. There are six
different floorplans for the attached and detached units. They range in size from approximately
1,138 square feet to approximately 2,414 square feet. Most of the units are two-bedroom,
however, two plans include a den and one is three-bedroom.
The proposed amendments comply with all applicable City standards and all necessary findings
can be made for the approvals being requested.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards and policies:
A. General Plan;
B.

Land Use
The City Council approved the Master Plan in’ February 1996 and made the finding at that time
that the Green .Valley Master Plan implements the combination district General Plan land uses
and is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. The finding was
based on the fact that the master plan provides for the following: (1) the provision of the
necessary circulation element roadways and improvements (Levante Street, Calle Barcelona, and
El Camino Real); (2) the protection and enhancement of the wetland and upland areas within
protected open space lots; (3) the construction of a public trail; (4) the provisions for affordable
housing; and (5) compliance with the Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 23 for public
facilities and services.

Based on this implementation and consistency relationship between the Green Valley Master
Plan and the General Plan, it can be determined that if the La Costa Glen project is consistent
with the various sections of the Green Valley Master Plan, then it is also consistent with the
General Plan.

The project is located within Planning Area 3 of the Green Valley Master Plan. Development of
Planning Area 3 as “senior housing” requires approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP) by the
City Council and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. The project is
consistent with the Green Valley Master Plan and meets or exceeds all applicable requirements
of the master plan as demonstrated in Table A below:

C. Inclusionary Housing
For the purpose of determining the project’s compliance with the Master Plan, with regards to
permitted land uses and the application of affordable housing requirements, the Planning
Department considers the 106 attached and detached villas as the residential component and the
apartment style independent living unit buildings (containing common dining and independent
care services) and the health care center (containing skilled nursing and assisted care services) as
the professional care component of the facility.
The Planning Department consulted with the State Housing and Community Development
Division (HCD) in 1999 about defining the different project unit types as “housing units” or
“group quarters/commercial living units” to determine what income category they should be
assigned to for reporting purposes. In a letter to the City, HCD stated that the project’s
independent living units (apartment style units with kitchens) and villas are considered “housing
units” per the census definition and they can be reported towards meeting the City’s regional
share housing needs. Citing a need for further study and review by HCD, the question of what
income category the independent living units would fit into (very low, low, moderate income
etc.) was left unanswered by HCD.
HCD’s response required the City to make a determination on how to apply Carlsbad’s
inclusionary housing ordinance to this project. In April 1999, the City Council approved the
apartment style independent living units, the skilled nursing and assisted care units as
“professional care/commercial living units” and not subject to the Master Plan’s affordable
housing requirements.
However, the project’s 106 villas are considered “residential housing units” and are subject to
the affordable housing requirements of the master plan. This results in a requirement of 15.9
dwelling units to be affordable to lower income residents. Given the project’s high entrance
deposit fees and the complex service and housing fee structure for residents, staff previously
determined that restricting units onsite as affordable to low income residents is not a workable or
viable alternative. Therefore, the development was approved with the option of purchasing
offsite affordable housing credits in the Villa Loma affordable housing project andor buying
existing offsite housing units and restricting the rents. The developer chose to purchase 9.54
credits in Villa Loma for the existing 54 villa units in the southern part (Phase One) of the
project. In order to satisfy the total requirement of 15.9 housing credits, the developer is
conditioned to purchase an additional 6.36 housing credits in the Villa Loma affordable housing
project and/or buy existing offsite housing units and restrict the rents consistent with the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
D. Conditional Uses (Chapter 21.42)
The Green Valley Master Plan requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Planning Area 3 for
professional care facilities and refers to Chapter 21.42 of Carlsbad Municipal Code for the
processing requirements. Given the large monetary investment in. onsite improvements, the fact a!?

that the land use is completely separated from any surrounding residential or commercial
development, and the project is a permitted land use in the Green Valley Master Plan, staff is not
recommending that the CUP have an expiration date.
The facility includes an alternative for the long-term residential, social, and health care needs of
elderly residents, a way to provide a continuum of care, to minimize transferhelocation trauma,
and allows for the provision of social and health care services in an appropriately State-licensed
setting. It is consistent with the Green Valley Master Plan and, therefore, consistent with the
General Plan. The project is buffered from the commercial planning area (PA 2) by phase one
and Calle Barcelona and is surrounded on the west, north, and east by large areas of open space.
The project meets or exceeds the development standards of the Green Valley Master Plan,
including landscaping, pedestrian access, lot size and coverage, building setbacks, parking,
building height, recreational open space, and recreational vehicle storage. The buildings are
isolated from surrounding development and no special adjustments are necessary to make the
project compatible.
The public and private street system serving the proposed project is adequate to properly handle
all traffic generated by the proposed use. The proposed onsite private street system has been
designed to meet all of the City’s private street design standards including comer sight visibility,
street widths, and street lengths. All off site public street improvements required by adoption of
the Green Valley Master Plan have been completed by the earlier phase of this project. No
additional off site public street improvements are necessary. The combined phase one and phase
two buildout of the project would generate approximately 2,225 average daily vehicle trips
(ADT) which is 1,775 ADT less than the 4,000 ADT analyzed and approved in the Green Valley
Master Plan (400 dwelling units at 10 ADT per dwelling unit equals 4,000 ADT) and analyzed in
the Green Valley Master Plan Program EIR. However, the proposal is approximately 605 ADT
greater than what was approved as SDP 98-01 in 1999. The Linscott, Law and Greenspan traffic
report dated June 12, 2003 and on file with the Planning Department found that the increase of
605 ADT over the existing approval does not have a significant adverse effect on circulation.
The onsite circulation roadway has been reviewed by the Fire Marshal, and has been adjusted in
response to the Fire Marshal’s comments.
E. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 23 in the Southwest
quadrant of the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance
with the adopted performance standards, are summarized in Table B below.
The Local Facilities impact analysis for City Administrative, Library, and Parks are based on the
cumulative demand for phase one and the proposed phase two (North End) 106 single
family/duplex residential units. The remainder analysis is completed for the entire project at
buildout

F. East Batiquitos Lagoon/Hunt Segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program
The project site is located entirely within the California Coastal Zone and is subject to the
policies of the East Batiquitos LagoodHunt Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP). In
1996 the City Council and the Coastal Commission approved an amendment to the East
Batiquitos LagoodHunt Segment of the LCP which designated the Green Valley Master Plan as
the implementing ordinance for the portion of the LCP covering the Green Valley property.
Based on this implementation and consistency relationship between the Green Valley Master
Plan and the LCP, it can be concluded that if the La Costa Glen project is consistent with the
master plan it is also consistent with the LCP.
The project will not encroach beyond the development area established by the Green Valley
Master Plan for Planning Area 3, therefore, it will not impact sensitive coastal resources or the
public pedestrianhicycle trail constructed as part of phase one. Pursuant to the Green Valley
Master Plan, all building heights are limited to 35 feet and are shown as such on project exhibits.
The required fee for the conversion of non-prime agricultural lands to urban uses for the entire
Green Valley Master Plan area was paid prior to issuance of the grading permit for phase one of
La Costa Glen. The desiltatioddepollutant basin and the biological revegetation and ongoing
mitigation program for habitat preservation has been implemented as part of phase one. Public
roadway improvements on El Camino Real; Levante Street and Calle Barcelona were also
completed in phase one.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Staff prepared an initial study for the project and concluded that since the proposed
changes to the project are confined to the same footprint of development as the original approval;
that the anticipated Average Daily Traffic (ADT) will be less than assessed in the Green Valley
Master Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 92-03); and that the project will
implement the same mitigation measures adopted for the Master Plan for secondary impacts such
as shielding lighting adjacent to the riparian corridor, that no potentially significant impacts
would result with the implementation of the project that were not previously examined and
evaluated in the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for EIR 92-03, dated February
1996. EIR 92-03 evaluated the potential environmental effects of the development and operation
of the “Green Valley Master Plan” including analysis of traffic circulation, water quality,
biological resources, land use and landform alteration and associated actions inclusive of
development of the Master Plan Planning Area 3.
SDP 98-01(A)/CDP 98-04(A)/CUP 98-01(A) - LA COSTA GLEN - NORTH SITE
April 7,2004
The City Council certified EIR 92-03 in February 1996. At that time CEQA Findings of Fact, a
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
were approved. All mitigation measures contained in the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program from EIR 92-03 that are applicable to the proposed project have been
completed in phase one of the development plan, incorporated into the project design or are
required as ongoing conditions of approval for the overall project. The EIR 92-03 “Findings of
Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by
the Green Valley Master Plan Final Program EIR.
The proposed project will not have effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR since the
proposed changes to the project are confined to the same footprint of development as the
program analyzed earlier; that the proposed onsite landscape and recreation improvements are
similar is size and scope as the program analyzed earlier; and, that the anticipated Average Daily
Traffic (ADT) will be less than that projected in the program analyzed earlier. This project is
within the scope of Final Program EIR 92-03 and no further CEQA compliance is required. EIR
92-03 and the respective initial studies for each application are available at the Planning
Department.

A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning
Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF LA COSTA GLEN, SDP 98-
01 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
' Findinps:
1. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental
settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will
not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or
traffic circulation, in that a continuing care retirement community is considered an
alternative for the long-term residential, social, and health care needs of California's
elderly residents, and a way to provide a continuum of care, to minimize transfer
trauma, and to allow for the provision of social and health care services in an
appropriately licensed setting. The project is consistent with all the requirements of
Green Valley Master and Final Program EIR 92-03. The City Council approved the
master plan in 1996 and made the finding that the Green Valley Master Plan
implements the General Plan and is consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the General Plan. The project, through implementation of the master
plan, provides for the following: (1) the provision of the necessary circulation
element roadways and improvements (Levante Street, Calle Barcelona, and El
Camino Real); (2) the protection and enhancement of the wetland and upland areas
within open space lots; (3) the construction of a future public trail; (4) the provisions
for affordable housing; (5) implementation of the mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting program for Program EIR 92-03; and, (6) compliance with the Local

and Calle Barcelona located within the site will be constructed, El Camino Real \vi11
be widened along the project’s frontage, and a landscaped center median will be
constructed.
The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the
applicable local facilities management plan and all City public facility policies and
ordinances since:
A. The project has been conditioned to ensure the building permits will not be issued
for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is
available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service
remains available, and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of
the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they
apply to sewer service for this project.
B. All necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as
conditions of approval.
C. The Developer has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate
condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment
of the fee will enable this body to find that public facilities will be available
concurrent with need as required by the General Plan.
The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new
construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional
requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to
Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of
public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project.
This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the
Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 23.
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
The Planning Director has found that, based on the EIA Part 11, this Subsequent Project
was described in the Program EIR 92-03 as within its scope; and there will be no
additional significant effect, not analyzed therein; and that no new or additional
mitigation measures or alternatives are required; and that, therefore, this Subsequent
Project is within the scope of the prior EIR; and no new environmental document nor
Public Resources Code 2 108 1 findings are required.
The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Program EIR 92-03 which are appropriate to this Subsequent
Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project, as noted above.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by thc Planning
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as fol1ou.s:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Conmission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of LA COSTA GLEN, CDP .98-01 based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the East Batiquitos
Lagoon/Hunt segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies
in that the project is consistent with all the requirements of the Green Valley Master
Plan which is the adopted implementing ordinance for the portion of the Local
Coastal Program covering the Green Valley property. The project meets or exceeds
all City policies and the development standards of the Green Valley Master,
including landscaping, pedestrian access, lot size and coverage, setbacks, parking,
building height, recreational open space, and recreational vehicle storage space.
2. The project will not encroach beyond the development area established for Planning
Area 3 under the approved Coastal Development Permit for the master plan and
tentative map; therefore, it will not impact sensitive coastal resources or preclude
development of the future public pedestrian/bicycle trail. The required fee for the
conversion of non-prime agricultural lands to urban uses was paid prior to issuance
of the grading permit. Erosion control measures such as slope planting and
temporary desiltation measures are incorporated into the project’s approved
grading permit. The desiltation/depollutant basin and the biological revegetation

an alternative for the long-term residential, social, and health care needs of
California’s elderly residents, and a way to provide a continuum of care, to
minimize transfer trauma, and to allow for the provision of social and health care
services in an appropriately licensed setting. The project is consistent with all the
requirements of Green Valley Master and Final Program EIR 92-03. The City
Council approved the master plan in 1996 and made the finding that the Green
Valley Master Plan implements the General Plan and is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the General Plan. The project, through implementation
of the master plan, provides for the following: (1) the provision of the necessary
circulation element roadways and improvements (Levante Street, Calle Barcelona,
and El Camino Real); (2) the protection and enhancement of the wetland and
upland areas within open space lots; (3) the construction of a future public trail;
(4) the provisions for affordable housing; (5) implementation of the mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting program for Program EIR 92-03; and, (6) compliance
with the Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 23 for public facilities and services.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the project meets or exceeds all City policies and the development standards of
the Green Valley Master Plan, including landscaping, pedestrian access, lot size and
coverage, setbacks, parking, building height, recreational open space, and
recreational vehicle storage space.
3. That all 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, in that (1) the buildings are setback 35 feet from Calle
Barcelona; (2) the site has perimeter fencing/walls including chain link, masonry
block, and wrought iron; (3) extensive ornamental landscaping and native habitat
restoration is provided; and, (4) large areas of open space, topography, and Calle
Barcelona separate and buffer the site from surrounding residential, commercial,
and transportation land uses.

Planning Commission Minutes XV&T 5 DRAF~ April 21,2004
1. SDP 98-01(A)/CDP 98-041CUP 98-OIIA) - LA COSTA GLEN - NORTH SITE - A determination
that the project is within the scope of the previously certified Green Valley Master Plan Final
Program EIR and that the program EIR adequately describes the activity for the purposes of
CEQA; and a request for approval of a Site Development Plan Amendment SDP 98-01(A), a
Coastal Development Permit Amendment CDP 98-04(A), and a Conditional Use Permit
Amendment CUP 98-01 (A) to construct a continuing care retirement community comprised of 31 1
independent living units, 26 attached villas, 26 garden villas, a commons building, and a
recreation building on property generally located north of Levante Street and west of El Camino
Real in Local Facilities Management Zone 23.
Mr. Neu introduced Item 1 and stated that Senior Planner Christer Westman, would make the
presentation.
Chair White opened the public hearing on Item 1.
Senior Planner, Christer Westman, presented the staff report stating that this Item is a request for an
amendment to the La Costa Glen continuing care development. The site is located south of La Costa
Avenue and west of El Camino Real. The project is within the boundaries of the Green Valley Master
Plan. The original La Costa Glen site plan and unit mix was approved in 1999. This amendment is a
request for approval of an increase in the number of independent living units from 229 to 540, which is an
increase of 311 independent living apartments and a decrease in the number of villa units from 171 to
106, which is a reduction of 65 villa units. There will also be an addition of new facilities for use by all
residents of La Costa Glen including a commons building, a recreation building, and a proposed 6-hole
golf course. The project will still be below the original anticipated number of ADT proposed in the Master
Plan. The architecture and development style is consistent with the existing phase of La Costa Glen. Mr.
Westman directed the Commission and audience to the slide presentation. The architecture has
Mediterranean flare similar to the existing Phase 1.
Mr. Westman stated there are two errata sheets for the project. One is in regards to requiring purchasing
affordable housing units. Resolution No. 5590, Condition 17 should read 1,002 instead of 1,003.
Two conditions relative to the Habitat Management Plan are to be removed. The conditions require
purchasing credits towards implementing the Habitat Management Plan for projects that impact open
space. This project has already set aside a substantial amount of open space so staff does not feel it is
appropriate to apply the condition to this project. The other condition is in regards to the open space,
which has already been dedicated. There was a condition requiring an endowment be created and
determination of a third party to manage that open space prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
Because that is a new condition relative to the original approval of the project, staff recommends
changing the timing to the issuance of a building permit.
Mr. Westman concluded his presentation.
Chairperson White commented the Public Hearing on Item 1 was open and the Commission did receive
the errata sheets.
Commissioner Baker asked Mr. Westman to comment regarding the vastly different number of ADT from
the EIR even though the project is adding 300 units, and inquired how can it be lower.
Mr. Westman explained the ADT and the Green Valley Master Plan.
Commissioner Segall asked a question regarding multi-story buildings, maximum building height and how
the Fire Department accesses the roof in case of a fire.
Mr. Westman introduced Chris Heiser, Division Chief of Operations for the Fire Department.
A discussion was held regarding mutual aide, boundary drop agreements and response times.
Planning Commission Minutes April 21,2004 Page 5
Commissioner Segall stated his concern regarding the maximum building height of 35 feet and the fact
that a ladder would only reach 28 feet at its fullest potential.
Chief Heiser explained mutual aide and the boundary drop agreement with the Cities of Encinitas and
Oceanside, which would respond to the area of the project should a tall ladder be needed.
Commissioner Segall asked about the study regarding the need for a new truck. Chief Heiser stated that
the mutual aide agreement should help in such situations. Commissioner Segall asked if the Fire
Department is comfortable with this option. Chief Heiser stated the Fire Department is very comfortable
with the current options available through the mutual aide program and the boundary drop agreement.
A discussion was held regarding mutual aide. Commissioner Segall expressed his concern regarding the
lack of proper equipment for buildings overheight, response times from other agencies, etc.
Commissioner Baker asked where the ladder trucks are located in Encinitas, and that she too is
concerned about the response times.
Chief Heiser responded the trucks are located about 5 minutes from El Camino Real in Encinitas, and the
response time is predicated on the starting rotation of those apparatus and on the availability of the
apparatus.
Commissioner Whitton asked what the response time from Encinitas to the City of Carlsbad is. Chief
Heiser stated the response time is predicated on traffic patterns; that it could take about 15 minutes from
dispatch to the center of the City at El Camino Real and Cannon Road.
Commissioner Segall asked Mr. Neu if the Planning Commission could hear the final Fire Department
report once complete. Mr. Neu stated that the best way to inform the Commission would be to wait until
the study has run its course, and it be handled as an information item on a future agenda.
The applicant, Richard Aschenbrenner, representative of Continuing Life Communities, made a
presentation regarding the project.
Chairperson White asked if there were any questions of the applicant.
Commissioner Montgomery commended the applicant on the various types of housing being provided in
the project, and asked the applicant to discuss the reason why the multi-story type of structure is being
proposed as opposed to the typical single story, one level, housing for senior citizens.
Mr. Aschenbrenner discussed the population within the La Costa Glen facility and stated this is what the
community wants in this project. He further stated this is an opportunity to develop a world-class facility,
and that this new building would include more life safety features.
Commissioner Segall noted the change in the ratio regarding attached units as to independent living. Mr.
Aschenbrenner stated that this is an opportunity to introduce a whole new dining facility that is more
centrally located for the community. Commissioner Segall inquired as to when the dining facility would
open. Mr. Aschenbrenner stated hopefully everything will open all at once, but the dining facility would
hopefully be open sooner than later. He further explained the logistical problems regarding access to the
site adding that the whole development should be completed within 3 years.
Commissioner Dominguez asked for clarification as to exactly where the new facilities would be located.
Mr. Aschenbrenner directed the Commission to the slide presentation and identified the area on the map.
Commissioner Baker inquired if the site was currently graded. Mr. Aschenbrenner stated the site was
rough graded five years ago.
Chairperson White opened Public Testimony on Item 1.
Horton Hinshaw, 1982 Deergrass Way, Carlsbad, a current resident of La Costa Glen, addressed the
Commission regarding the new dining facility and stating his approval of the project.
La
Planning Commission Minutes April 21,2004 Page 6
Don May, 1988 Snowberry, Carlsbad, Chairman of the Resident Council of La Costa Glen, addressed the
Commission stating that the expansion of the current facility is recommended. He expressed that the
apartment style building will be very welcome and will fit in nicely with the community.
Lois DeGroot addressed the Commission stating she does not want other members of the community to
have to wait as long as she did to sign up for a facility such as La Costa Glen.
Millie Karol, 1950 Silverleaf Circle, is a very happy resident of La Costa Glen, loves the food and stated
that many members of the audience and Commission should be signing up to live at this facility.
Gil Meacham, 1970 Silverleaf Circle, is a current resident of La Costa Glen and lives in one of the
apartments. He stated that the senior citizens in the community love living there.
Seeing no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson White closed public testimony on Item 1.
MOTION
ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Whitton, and duly seconded, that the Planning
Commission adopt Planning Commission Resolutions No. 5590 and 5591
recommending approval of Site Development Plan Amendment SDP 98-01 (A),
Coastal Development Plan Amendment 98-04(A), and approve Planning
Commission Resolution No. 5592 approving Conditional Use Permit CUP 98-
01 (A), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, and
including the two errata sheets.
DISCUSSION
The Commissioners commended the applicant on the project, and that La Costa Glen is a beautiful facility
and it provides many conveniences for the community that resides there.
