HD. CITY ATTY. CITYMGR a RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. APPROVING the third amend- ment in 2004 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan for the projects commonly known as Holly Springs (GPA 00-06) and Cantarini Ranch (GPA 01- 09). 2004-401 ITEM EXPLANATION: State law allows a jurisdiction to amend a mandatory element of the General Plan no more than four times per year. The mandatory elements are Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space, Noise, Safety, and Conservation. Each amendment to a mandatory element, however, may include more than one change to that element. The following two General Plan Amendment applications propose changes to the Land Use Element and the Open Space and Conservation Element. The City Council has approved in concept each of the applications at a duly noticed public hearing on the meeting date noted below. Staff has grouped the applications together so they comprise the third General Plan Amendment of 2004, referred to as “GPA Batch No. 3.” The recommended action would formally adopt all of the changes, which will enable consistency between the General Plan and zoning and the permits required for the projects associated with each application. Holly Springs (GPA 00-06) - On December 7, 2004, the City Council approved in concept the General Plan amendment for the Holly Springs project. The Holly Springs project, generally located east of College Boulevard and south of future Cannon Road, includes 43 single-family custom home lots surrounded by approximately 61 acres of open space. The Amendment would adjust the Residential Low Medium Density (RLM) and Open Space (OS) land use designations on the project site. In its action, the City Council directed the formal approval of this amendment as part of GPA Batch No. 3 (as shown in City Council Resolution No. 2004-388 1. Cantarini Ranch (GPA 01-09) - On December 7, 2004, the City Council approved in concept the General Plan Amendment for the Cantarini Ranch project. This project features 105 single-family lots and an 80-unit mixed-rate apartment on property adjacent and south of the Holly Springs project. The Amendment would adjust and change the land use designations on the project site from Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) and Open Space (OS) to Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM), Residential Medium-High Density (RMH) and Open Space (OS). In approving the project, the City Council directed the formal approval of this amendment as part of GPA Batch No. 3 (as shown in City Council Resolution No. 2004-387 1. Staff anticipated GPA 04-16 (North Coast Calvary Chapel) would also be a part of this third amendment to the General Plan. However, its Council review will not occur in time to be a part of this amendment. Ill! PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. 171922 ENVIRONMENTAL: Holly Springs (GPA 00-06) and Cantarini Ranch (GPA 01-09) - An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the two projects in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines and the Environmental Protection Procedures (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The EIR addresses the environmental impact associated with all discretionary applications for the proposed projects. The analysis contained in the EIR concluded that all significant impacts would be mitigated to below a level of significance with the exception of cumulative impacts to air quality. The cumulative impacts arise from the marginal contribution the proposed projects will make, when combined with the impacts from existing and other future projects, to pre-existing conditions that currently fail to meet applicable standards. Under CEQA, before a project which is determined to have significant, unmitigated environmental effects can be approved, the public agency must consider and adopt a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15043 and 15093. As part of its approval of the Holly Springs and Cantarini Ranch projects on December 7, 2004, the City Council adopted the necessary Statement of Overriding Considerations. Third amendment to the General Plan - This amendment to the General Plan is considered a project and therefore subject to CEQA. Since the amendment consists of two projects, the impacts of each need to be considered cumulatively. This cumulative analysis was performed as part of the EIR prepared and adopted for both projects. Therefore, the cumulative impacts resulting from this second General Plan Amendment have been addressed adequately. FISCAL IMPACT: Holly Springs (GPA 00-06) and Cantarini Ranch (GPA 01-09) - For both projects, all required improvements needed to serve this project would be funded by the developer. The Facility Financing section of the amended Zone 15 Local Facilities Management Plan lists the financing techniques proposed to guarantee the public facilities needed to serve development within Zone 15.
