RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council INTRODUCE Ordinance No. , APPROVING Zone Change 04-

and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and APPROVING General Plan Amendment GPA
NS-740
2005-039
04-14.
On January 5, 2005, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended to the
City Council approval (7-0) of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, a General Plan Amendment and a Zone Change to change the General Plan
land use designation and the Zoning designation on a 0.18 acre property generally located on the
north side of Gibraltar Street, south of the La Costa Golf Course, between Jerez Court and Romeria
Street, within Local Facilities Management Zone 6.
At that same hearing, the Planning Commission also approved (7-0) a Tentative Tract Map and a
Condominium Permit to develop a 15-unit residential condominium project on the subject site. The
approval of the Tentative Tract Map and Condominium Permit were final at the Planning
Commission. The overall subject site is comprised of three lots and is 0.88 acres in area. The
proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would apply to only one 0.18 acre parcel
which is triangular in shape and extends out from the northeastern corner. The other two parcels are
rectangular in shape and their existing General Plan designation is Residential High Density (RH)
with a corresponding Zoning designation of Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M).
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would change the General Plan land use
designation on the triangular parcel from Open Space (OS) to Residential High Density (RH, 15-23
du/ac) and change the Zoning designation from Planned Community (P-C) to Residential Density-
Multiple (RD-M).
The proposed land use and zoning amendment would designate the triangular parcel consistent with
the other two parcels. The triangular parcel was originally a part of the La Costa Golf Course
property and was mapped within the floodplain of San Marcos Creek. The designation of this parcel
3s open space was based on these assumptions. However, the triangular parcel is at a higher
slevation, was graded as part of the upland lots, not the Golf Course, and subsequent, more
accurate mapping, has shown that this property is clearly well above and outside of the floodplain.
The 1969 grading plan for Gibraltar Street shows that the natural topography of the three parcels was
similar and all the three parcels were at substantially higher elevation than the golf course and clearly
Dutside of the floodplain.

ENVIRONMENTAL:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Environmental Protection
Ordinance of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Title 19), staff conducted an environmental impact
assessment to determine if the project could have any potentially significant impact on the
environment. The environmental impact assessment identified potentially significant impacts to
geology and soils, and hydrology/water quality. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the
design of the project or have been placed as conditions of approval for the project such that all
potentially significant impacts have been mitigated to below a level of significance. The Planning
Director issued a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project on October
20, 2004. One public comment was received (dated November 19, 2004) during the 30-day public
review period (October 20, 2004 to November 19, 2004). The comment was received from the
Native American Heritage Commission. Staff responded in writing to the letter received (November
30, 2004). No new significant environmental effects requiring mitigation by CEQA were identified as
a result of the public comment and, therefore, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program were not revised, nor re-circulated.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All public infrastructure required for this project will be funded and/or constructed by the developer.

North Side of Gibraltar Street. South of La Costa Golf Course, between
Jerez Court and lbmeria Street (APN - 216-290-20,21; 216-130-68)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Request for approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Tentative
Tract Map, and Condominium Permit for the development of a 15-unit air-space condominium project. The subject
site is located on the north side of Gibraltar Street, south of the La Costa Golf Course between Jerez Court and
Romeria Street. The proposed project consists of three vacant lots totaling 0.88 acres. The site is surrounded by
multi-family condominiums to the east, west and south and the La Costa Golf Course to the north. The proposed
project wdl combine the three existing parcels into one underlying lot and 15 airspace condominium will be
developed on the new lot. There are two three-story buildings proposed with subterranean parking. Nine units will
be located in Building 1 and six units will be located in Building 2. Access to the site is from Gibraltar Street and
the project’s internal private dnveways will provide access to surface visitor parlung spaces and the subterranean
parlung level. The buildings will not exceed 35’ in height and will comply with all standards of the RD-M Zone and
Planned Development Ordinance. The units will range in size from 1,536 to 1,672 square feet. A 4,681 square foot
common passive recreation area will be located in the northern comer of the subject site. The site was previously
graded into two stepped pads which overlook the La Costa Golf Course, which is approximately 13 feet below the
subject site. The project site is comprised of three existing parcels, two of which form a rectangle, and their General
Plan designation is Residential High Density (RH) with a corresponding Zoning designation of Residential Multiple
(RD-M). The third parcel is triangular in shape and extends out from the northeastem comer. The existing General
Plan designation of this parcel is Open Space (OS) and it is Zoned Planned Community (P-C). The applicant is
requesting to change the General Plan and Zoning designations of the triangular parcel to RH and RD-M,
respectively, to be consistent with the rest of the site. The open space boundary was intended to follow the Golf
Course limits and any associated floodplain areas. However, the property is not part of the/Golf Course, and the
entire site was graded into development pads accessible from Gibralter Street. The applicant is proposing to amend
the General Plan and Zoning designations to RH and RD-M over the entire property. The proposed amendments will
be consistent with the other two parcels on the project site and are compatible with the surroundmg neighborhood.
PROPOSED DETERMINATION: The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental review of the
above described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act
and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, the initial study
(EIA Part 2) identified potentially sigmficant effects on the environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or
proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are
released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect
on the’cnvironment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City
that the project “as revised” may have a sigmficant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration will be recommended for adoption by the City of Carlsbad City Council.
A copy of the initial study (EL4 Part 2) documenting reasons to support the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration are on file in the Planning Department, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, Cahfornia 92008. Comments
from the public are invited. Please submit comments in writing to the Planning Department wihn 30 days of the
date of th~ notice.
The proposed project and Mitigated Negative Declaration are subject to review and approvalladoption by the City of
Carlsbad Planning Commission and City Council. Addltional public notices will be issued when those public
hearings are scheduled. If you have any questions, please call Saima Qureshy in the Planning Department at (760)

Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect
in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project.

and Zoning designations of the triangular parcel to RH and RD-M. resuectivelv, to be consistent with the
rest of the site. The onen space boundary was intended to follow the Golf Course limits and any
associated floodplain areas. However, the property is not part of the Golf Course, and the entire site was:
graded into development pads accessible from Gibralter Street. The auplicant is proposing to amend
General Plan and Zoning designations to RH and RD-M over the entire propertv. The uroposed
amendments will be consistent with the other two parcels on the uroiect site and are compatible with the
surrounding neicrhborhood.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental
Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental
Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. Thls checklist identifies any physical,
biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information
to use as the basis for deciding whether to preparean Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or
to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
0 A brief explanation is required for all answers except ‘Wo Impact” answers that are adequately supported
by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the unpact simply does not apply to
projects like the one involved. A “No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source
document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
0 “Less Than Sigmficant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential impact is not
significantly adverse, and the unpact does not exceed adopted general standards and policies.
“Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation
measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.”
The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
0 “Potentially Sigmficant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significantly
adverse.
0 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 circdtances 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.
’
0 When “Potentially Sidcant 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.
0 A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project QT
If there are one or more potentially significant adverse effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there
any of its aspects may cause a significant adverse effect on the environment.
e
are mitigation measures to clearly reduce adverse impacts to less than sigruficant, 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.
5 Rev. 07/03/02
0 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Sipficant Impact” is checked, and including but not limited 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 sigmficant; (2) a “Statement of Ovemding
Considerations” for the significant adverse impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3)
proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; or (4) through the
EIA-Part II analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect,
or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a
level of significance.
.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing
mitigation for impacts, which would otherwise be determined signrficant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Request for approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Tentative Tract Map, and Condominium Permit
for the development of a 15-unit air-space condominium project. The subject site is located on the north side of
Gibraltar Street, south of the La Costa Golf Course between Jerez Court and Romeria Street and currently consists
of three vacant lots totahg 0.88 acres. ‘The site is surrounded by multi-family condominiums to the east, west and
south and the La Costa Golf Course to the north. The proposed project will combine the three existing parcels into
one underlying lot and 15 airspace condominiums will be developed on the new lot. There are two three-story
buildings proposed with subterranean parking. Nine units wd1 be located in Building 1 and six units will be located
in Building 2. Access to the site is from Gibraltar Street and the project’s internal private dnveways will provide
access to surface visitor parking spaces and the subterranean parking level. The buildings will not exceed 35’ in
height and will comply with all standards of the RD-M Zone and Planned Development Ordinance. The units will
range in sue from 1,536 to 1,672 square feet. A 4,68 1 square foot common passive recreation area will be located
in the northern comer of the subject site. The site was previously graded into two stepped pads which overlook the
La Costa Golf Course, which is approximately 13 feet below the subject site. The project site is comprised of three
existing parcels, two of which form a rectangle, and their General Plan designation is Residential High Density (RH)
with a corresponding Zoning designation of Residential Multiple (RD-M). The third parcel is triangular in shape
and extends out fiom the northeastern comer. The existing General Plan designation of this parcel is Open Space
(OS) and it is Zoned Planned Community (P-C). The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan and Zoning
designations of the triangular parcel to RH and RD-M, respectively, to be consistent with the rest of the site. The
open space boundary was intended to follow the Golf Course limits and any associated floodplain areas. However,
the property is not part of the Golf Course, and the entire site was graded into development pads accessible from
Gibralter Street. The applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan and Zoning designations to RH and RD-M
over the entire property. The proposed amendments will be consistent with the other two parcels on the project site
and are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
.
AESTHETICS
No Impact. The project will not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista since the site is located in an
urbanized area and will be constructed in compliance with the maximum 35’ height limitation allowed in the RD-M
zone and the architectural guidelines contained in the Planned Development Ordinance. Development of the site
with a multi-family condominium project would be consistent with the surrounding developmek pattern.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES,
No Impact. There will be no impact on agricultural resources due to the proposed project as the site is not
designated as or used as fannland. The subject site is zoned for dti-family residential development (RD-M) and is
not subject to a Williamson Act Contract. The project would not result in other changes to the environment that
would result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. The project would be characterized as infill
development and has been surrounded by residential development for many years.
AIR QUALITY-Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
Ne 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
(PM,o). The periodic violations of national Ambient Air Quality Standards (UQS) in the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB), particularly for ozone in inland footlull areas, requires that a plan be developed outlining the pollution
controls that wdl be undertaken to lmprove 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 (SNAG).
A plan to meet the federal standard for ozone was developed in 1994 during the process of updating the 1991 state-
mandated plan. Th~s local plan was combined with plans from all other California non-attainment areas having
serious ozone problems and used to create the California 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 cotlsiderable analysis and debate, particularly
regarding airsheds with the worst,smog problems, EPA approved the SIP in mid-1996.
16 Rev. 07/03/02 a9
The proposed project relates to the SIP andor RAQS through the land use and growth assumptions et are
incorporated 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 15125(B) of the State of California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines contains specific
reference to the need to evaluate any ixiconsistencies 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:
Is a regional air quality plan being lmplemented 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 where a RAQS is being
implemented. The project is consistent with the growth assumptions of the City’s General Plan and the RAQS.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the regional air quality plan and will in no way conflict or obstruct
implementation of the regional plan.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing 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 Apd, 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 24-hour state standard for suspended particulates
in 1996. No violations of any other air quality standards have been recorded recently. The project would 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 &om 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 coniribution to overall air basin quality readings), nor contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation. Any impact is assessed as less than sipficant.
/
c) 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 Mted 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 15130 (a) (4), the proposed project’s contribution to the cumulative impact is considered
de minimus. Any impact is assessed as less than significant.
d)
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.
Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
No Impact. The construction of the proposed project could generate fumes fiom the operation of construction
equipment, whch 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.
17 Rev. 07/03/02 30
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
No Impact. The project site is a vacant, previously graded area which is surrounded by residential development.
No native vegetation or habitats exist on or near the property. 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.
V. CULTURAL RESOURCES
No Impact. The subject site is a previously graded infill site which is surrounded by residential development and
there will be no impacts on cultural resources. There are no known historical, archeological, paleontological, or
human remains on the project site.
VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury
or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
iv. Landslides?
Less than Significant Impact (a.i. to a.iv.) - There are no Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault zones wih the City of
Carlsbad and there is no other evidence of active or potentially active faults within the City4 However, there are
several active faults throughout Southern California, and these potential earthquakes could affect Carlsbad. The
project site is located in an area of stable soil conditions and the risk of seismic-related ground failure or liquefaction
is very minimal (according to City of Carlsbad Geotechnical Hazards Analysis and Mapping Study, November
1992). In addition, a project specific Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation was prepared by Geo Soh, Inc. dated
January 13, 2004. The report states that the potential for liquefaction, earthquake induced settlement and lateral
spread are considered to be low for the site because of the low susceptibility to liquefaction. The report also shows no evidence of landslides on or affecting the subject site.
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
No Impact. The project’s compliance with standards in the City’s Excavation and Gradmg Ordinance that prevent
erosion’through slope planting and installation of temporary erosion control means will avoid substantial soil erosion
impacts.
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the
project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction,
or collapse?
Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The subject site has been previously graded. A project
specdic Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation was conducted by GeoSoils, Inc., dated January 13,2004. The report
contains specific design, grading and construction recommendations which include removal of the existing
undocumented fill for a depth of 10-20 feet across the site, reconstruction of the fill slope along the northern
property line of the site and the use of post-tension foundation systems, if highly expansive soils are encountered at
the site. All anticipated geotechnical issues will be reduced to a level less than significant through compliance with
the mitigation measures recommended in the report.
18 Rev. 07/03/02 31
i
d) Be located on expansive soils, as defined in Table 18 - I-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property?
Less than Significant Impact. The report prepared by GeoSoils Inc., showed the soils that underlie the site have
medium expansion potential. There is some potential for hghly expansive soils to be exposed at finish grade, and -
the report provides recommendations for both medium and high expansion potential should such soils be
encountered during site grading. No substantial risk to life or property is anticipated due to hazards typically found
in expansive soils.
-
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater
disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater?
No Impact. The proposed project does not propose septic tanks and will utilize the public sewer system. Therefore,
there will be no lmpacts involving soils that support the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater dsposal
systems.
W. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
No Impact. Based on the nature of a residential land use, there is no routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous
materials. Therefore, there is no potential of a sigmfkant hazard associated with the project from accidents
involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment, or from the emission of hazardous substances
within the proximity of a school.
The project site is not located within an area covered by an auport land use plan or an area where such a plan has not
been adopted. However, the project site is located approximately 3.0 miles from the McClellan-Palomar Airport
(public general aviation airport). The project site is not located within any flight, crash, or safety hazard zones
associated with the airport. Therefore, the project will not result in a safety hazard for people residing on the project
site.
The project will not impair the implementation or physically interfere with any adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation since the project site is an dill site surrounded by urban development whch is adequately
served by emergency services. There are no wildlands adjacent to the site that could expose people to significant
risk from wildland fires.

HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY-Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The applicant is required to comply with Order 2001-02
issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. A prelirnbpry Storm Water Management Plan dated June 8,
2004 was prepared for the project by O’Day Consultants to address existing and proposed pollutants of concern and
what measures will be implemented to ensure that pollutant loads are not increased as a result of hs project, to the
maximum extent practicable.
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with ground water recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local ground water table
level (Le., the production rate of preexisting nearby wells would drop to a level which would not
support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
No Impact. This project does not propose to directly draw any groundwater for potable or irrigation use. The
project will be served via existing public water distribution lines adjacent to the site.
c) Impacts to groundwater quality?
NO Impact. This project is required to implement measures to reduce urban pollutants prior to discharge, thus
groundwater quality will not be affected by this project.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration
of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation
on- or off-site?
19 Rev. 07/03/02
No Impact. Thls project does not propose to alter existing drainage patterns, or the course of a stream or river, that
would result in erosion or siltation on or offsite. The Hydrology, Hydraulics and Detention Study by O’Day
Consultants, dated January 22,2004, indicates that the site currently drains to an existing 48-inch RCP drainage pipe
whch runs along the easterly boundary of the property, that is released to a channel on the adjacent golf course. The
proposed project’s runoff will go through a new underground detention basin and then will flow to the existing 48--
inch pipe and the drainage channel.
e) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration
of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the flow rate or amount (volume) of
surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on- or off-site?
No Impact. The project includes an underground detention basin in the northeastern portion of the site to reduce
peak runoff to pre-development flows.
Create or contribute runoff water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm
water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f)
No Impact. The existing storm drain system as well as the planned system as identified in the City’s Master
Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan will adequately convey runoff from the subject site. Since
this project maintains peak runoff to predevelspment flows, there is no additional impact to consider. Compliance
with NPDES requirements ensure that the off-site flow does not increase pollutant discharges.
g) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
Less than significant impact. As a result of the project: 1) Implementing source BMP measures to avoid pollutant
contact and; 2) Installing treatment BMP measures to remove pollutants from storm water, this project is not
anticipated to contribute additional pollutants, to the maximum extent practicable.
h) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Flood Hazard Boundary
or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood delineation map?
No Impact. The proposed project is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Flood
Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood delineation map. Therefore there will be no impacts
regarding floodmg. /
i) Place within 100-year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or redirect flood flows?
No Impact. The proposed project would not place structures with 100-year flood hazard areas. Therefore there
wdl be no impacts fiom flooding.
j) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss injury or death involving flooding, including
flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
k)
No Impact (j 8~ k) - According to the City of Carlsbad Geotechnical Hazards Analysis and Mapping Study,
November 1992, the project site is not located within any dam failure inundation area, or area subject to inundation
by seiche or tsunami.
Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
Increased erosion (sediment) into receiving surface waters?
m) Increased pollutant discharges (e.g., heavy metals, pathogens, petroleum derivatives, synthetic
organics, nutrients, oxygen-demanding substances and trash) into receiving surface waters or other
alteration of receiving surface water quality (e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity)?
n)
0)
Changes to receiving water quality (marine, fresh or wetland waters) during or following
construction?
Increase in any pollutant to an already impaired water body as listed on the Clean Water Act Section
303(d) list?
20 33 Rev. 07/03/02
P) The exceedance of applicable surface or groundwater receiving water quality objectives or
degradation of beneficial uses?
Less than significant impact (1, m, n, o & p) - The project is located adjacent to San Marcos Creek, a triiutary to
Batiquitos Lagoon, and is within the San Marcos Watershed in the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit in the San Diego -
Region. San Marcos Creek is listed under section 303(d) of unpaired water bodies. The project will be required to
comply with Order 2001-01 and the Storm Water Management Plan for tlus project. Drainage and development will
be controlled via best management practices to ensure that pollutants loads are not increased to the maximu extent
practicable. Therefore, the project will not adversely impact water quality.
-
IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING
No Impact. The subject site is a previously graded, infill site whch is surrounded by multi-family residential
development to the east, west and south and La Costa Golf Course to the north. Proposed residential development
of the site will be compatible with and will integrate into the existing community.
The project site is comprised of three existing parcels, two of which form a rectangle, and their General Plan
designation is Residential High Density (RH) with a corresponding Zoning designation of Residential Density
Multiple (RD-M). The third parcel is triangular in shape and extends out from the northeastern corner. The existing
General Plan designation of hs parcel is Open Space (OS) and it is Zoned Planned Community (P-C). The
applicant is requesting to change the General Plan and Zoning designations of the triangular parcel to RH and RD- M, respectively, to be consistent with the rest of the site. The open space boundary was originally intended to
follow the Golf Course limits and any associated floodplain areas. However, the property is not part of the Golf
Course, and the entire site was previously graded into development pads accessible from Gibralter Street. The
applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan and Zoning designations to RH and RD-M over the entire
property. The proposed amendments will be consistent with the other two parcels on the project site and are
compatiile with the surrounding neighborhood.
The subject site does not conflict with any habitat conservation plans or natural communities plans in that the
property is designated as an “UrbanlDeveloped” area in the City’s Draft Habitat Management Plan.
X. MINERAL RESOURCES
NO Impact. There are no known mineral resources, of local importance or otherwise, on the pr6ject site. Therefore,
the proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of such resources.
XI. NOISE
Would the project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local
general plan or noise ordinance or applicable standards of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundbourne vibration or groundbourne noise
levels?
No Impact - Based upon the nature of the proposed residential use, the project will not result in any activity that
would generate excessive groundbourne vibration or groundbourne noise levels. In addition, the project site is not
located adjacent to any use that generates excessive groundbourne vibration or groundbourne noise levels.
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing
without the project?
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above
levels existing without the project?
Less than Significant Impact (c & d) - Other than traffic generated noise, typical residential land uses do not
generate a substantial amount of noise. With regard to temporary or periodic increase in noise levels, the only
potential increase in noise would be from construction activity associated with the development project. The City
incorporates standard regulations on all project construction activity to ensure that noise and other potential impacts
to surrounding properties are not significant. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in a substantial
21 Rev. 07/03/02 34
permanent or temporary increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the
project.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or-
working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a .private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact (e & f) - The project site is not located within an area covered by an airport land use plan or an area
where such a plan has not been adopted. The project site is located approximately 3.0 miles from the McClellan-
Palornar Airport (public general aviation airport). The project site is not located within any flight, crash, or safety
hazard zones associated with the airport. Therefore, the project will not result in a safety hazard for people residing
on the project site.
XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING
No Impact. The project would result in the development of 15 dwelling units on an infill site surrounded by,
existing residential development that is served by existing roads and utilities and therefore, the project would not induce substantial growth either directly or indirectly. The project is proposed on vacant land and would not
displace any existing housing or individuals.
XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
No Impact. The project will result in 15 new dwelling units on 0.88 acres (17 unitslacre) which is slightly below
the Growth Management Control Point of 19 ddac allowed on th~s site, with the proposed General Plan
Amendment. The provision of public facilities within the Zone 6 LFMP, including fire & police protection, parks,
libraries and other public facilities, have been planned to accommodate the projected growth in that area. Because
the project will not exceed the total growth projections anticipated within the Zone 6 LFMP, all public facilities will
be adequate to serve the proposed residential development on the site. Therefore, the project will not result in
substantial adverse impacts to or result in the need for additional government facilities.
XIV. RECREATION /
No Impacts. As part of the City’s Growth Management Program, a performance standard for parks was adopted.
The park performance standard requires that 3 acres of Community Park and Special Use Area per 1,000 population
within a park district (quadrant) must be provided.
The project site is located wih Park District #4 in the Southeast (SE) Quadrant. The necessary park acreage to
achieve the GMP standard (3 acres/1,000 population) for Park District ##4 was based upon the GMP dwelling unit
limitation for the SE Quadrant, which is 17,379 units.
The proposed project will result in 15 additional residential units in the SE Quadrant. However, those units were
anticipated on this site under the City’s Growth Management Plan. The 15 proposed dwelling units on the site ata
density of 17 units per acre will not exceed the growth control point (19 ddac) allowed by the site’s General Plan
designation. The applicant is amending the General Plan designation on one of the parcels from Open Space to RH
(Residential High Density). This amendment corrects the mapping error which assumed the triangular parcel to be
part of the Golf Course limits and any associated floodplain area. The Parks and Recreation Element states that the
park acreage demand for the SE Quadrant, based on the GMP dwelling unit limit, is 120.49 acres, and the
anticipated park acreage to be provided at build-out will be 140.27 acres. Therefore, there will be adequate parkland
withm the SE Quadrant, and the proposed development will not cause additional demand for parkland or expansion
of recreational facilities. Because park facilities will be adequate to serve residential development on the site, any
increase in use of park facilities generated from development of the site will not result in substantial physical
deterioration of any park facility.
XV. TRANSPORTATIONlTRC-Would the project:
22 Rev. 07/03/02
a) Cause an increase in traffic that is substantia1 in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of
the street system?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project will generate a total ADT of 120 vehicle trips. These trips
were anticipated within the Circulation Element of the City’s adopted General Plan, under the designation of:
Residential High Density (RH). mle 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 existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. Therefore the impacts from the proposed project are
less than sigmficant.
.
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 hghway segments in Carlsbad
as part of the regional circulation system. The Existing and Buildout average daily traffic (ADT) and Existing LOS
on these designated roads and hghways in Carlsbad is:
Existing ADT* - LOS Buildout ADT*
Rancho Santa Fe Road 17-3 5 ‘‘A-D’’ 35-56
El Camino Real 27-49 “A-C” 33-62
Palomar Airport Road 10-57 “A-D” 30-73
SR 78 124-142 “F” 156- 180
1-5 199-2 16 “D” 260-272
*The numbers are in thousands of daily trips.
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 highways are currently operating at or better than the acceptable standard LOS.
Note that the buildout ADT projections are based on the full implementation of the region’s general and community
plans. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan and, therefore, its traffic was dsed in modeling the
buildout projections. Achievement of the CMP acceptable Level of Service (LOS) “E standard assumes
implementation of the adopted CMP strategies. Based on the design capacity(ies) of the designated roads and
highways and implementation of the CMP strategies, they will function at acceptable level(s) of service in the short-
term and at bddout.
c) 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 located more than 3.0
miles fiom the McClellan-Palomar Airport and is not located within the boundaries of mort Land Use Plan.
Therefore, it would not result in a change of air traffic patterns or result in substantial safety risks. No impact
assessed.
d)
‘No Impact. All project circulation improvements wdl 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 myact assessed.
Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses?
e)
No Impact. The proposed project has been designed to satisfy the emergency requirements of the Fire and Police
Departments. No impact assessed.
Result in inadequate emergency access?
r) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
23 Rev. 07/03/02 36
No Impact. The project complies with the City’s parking requirements of 2 parking spaces per unit and 7 visitor
spaces to ensure an adequate parking supply. No impact assessed.
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus
turnouts, bicycle racks, etc.)?
No Impact. The proposed project does not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative
transportation.
XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICES SYSTEMS
No Impact - The proposed residential development will be required to comply with all Regional Water Quality
Control Board Requirements. In addition, the Zone 6 LFMP anticipated that the project site would be developed
with a high density residential use and wastewater treatment facilities were planned and designed to accommodate
hture residential uses on the site. All public facilities, including water facilities, wastewater treatment facilities and
drainage facilities, have been planned and designed to accommodate the growth projections for the City at build-out.
The proposed density on the site wdl increase the demand for these facilities. However, the proposed density would
not result in an overall increase in the City’s growth projection in the SE quadrant. Therefore, the project will not
result in development that will result in a sidicant need to expand or construct new water facilitiedsupplies,
wastewater treatment or storm water drainage facilities.
Existing waste disposal services are adequate to serve the proposed residential use on the site without exceeding
landfill capacities. In addition, the proposed residential development will be required to comply with all federal,
state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste.
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict
the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
No Impact -The proposed residential project will not degrade the quality of the environment. ’The project site does
not contain any fish or wildlife species. Therefore, the project will not reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species.
The project site is a vacant previously graded, dill site which is surrounded by existing residential development. .
The site is not identified by any habitat conservation plan as containing a protected, rare or endangered plant or
animal community. Therefore, the project will not threaten the number of a plant or animal comm~ty.
In addition, there are no hutoric structures on the site and there are no known cultural resources on the site. The
project will not result in the elimination of any important examples of California History or prehistory.
b) .. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects?)
Less than Significant Impact - San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) projects regional growth for
the greater San Diego area, and local general plan land use policies are incorporated into SANDAG projections.
Based upon those projections, region-wide standards, including storm water quality control, air quality standards,
habitat conservation, congestion management standards, etc, are established to reduce the cumulative impacts of
development in the region. All of the City’s development standards and regulations are consistent with the region-
wide standards. The City’s standards and regulations, including grading standards, water quality and drainage
standards, traffic standards, habitat and cultural resource protection regulations, and public facility standards, ensure
that development within the City will not result in a sigmficant cumulatively considerable impact.
There are two regional issues that development withln the City of Carlsbad has the potential to have a cumulatively
considerable impact on. Those issues are air quality and regional circulation. As discussed above, the project
37 24 Rev. 07/03/02
would contribute to a cumulatively considerable potential net increase in emissions throughout the air basin. As
described above, however, emissions associated with the residential development would be minimal. Given the
limited emissions potentially associated with the residential development of the site, air quality would be essentially
the same whether or not the residential development is implemented. According to the CEQA Guidelines Section
15 130 (a)(4), the project’s contribution to the cumulative impact is considered de minimus. Any impact is assessed -
as less than significant.
The County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) has designated three roads (Rancho Santa Fe Rd., El Camino
Real and Palomar Aqort Rd.) and two highway segments in Carlsbad as part of the regional circulation system.
The CMA has determined, based on the City’s growth projections in the General Plan, that these designated
roadways will function at acceptable levels of service in the short-term and at build-out. The project is consistent
with the City’s growth projections, and therefore, the cumulative impact from the project to the regional circulation
system is less than significant.
.
With regard to any other potential impact associated with the project, City standards and regulations will ensure that
residential development of the site will not result in a si&icant cumulatively considerable impact.
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause the substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less Than Significant Impact - Based upon the residential nature of the project and the fact that future
development of the site will comply with all City standards, the project will not result in any direct or indxect
substantial adverse environmental ef€ects on human beings. Any future residential development on the site will be
required to comply with all applicable federal, state, regional and City regulations, which will ensure the
development of the site will not result in an adverse impact on human beings, either dxectly or indirectly.

RE: VISTA LA COSTA - PROJECT COMMENTS DATED NOVEMBER 19,2004
Dear Ms. Gaubatz:
Thank you for your comments on the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Vista La Costa project,
in the City of Carlsbad. The subject site is an infill site which was previously graded and is
surrounded by existing residential development on three sides. The proposed project is for the
development of 15 air space condominiums.
There are no known historical, archeological paleontological or human remains on the project
site. Since the site is already disturbed, no impact to cultural resources is assessed.
If you have any additional comments or questions, please contact me at (760) 602-461 9.

B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of GPA 04-14 - VISTA LA COSTA based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. The proposed change in General Plan land use designation from Open Space (OS)
to Residential High (RH, 15-23 du/ac) for Parcel No. 216-130-68 is consistent with
the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the existing land use, in that the
existing designation of OS is a mapping error. The subject parcel was presumed to
be at a lower elevation and within the floodplain of San Marcos Creek. The subject
site was also originally a part of La Costa Golf Course property. More accurate
mapping has shown that this property is clearly well above and outside of the
floodplain, located 13 feet higher than the golf course and was graded as part of the
upland lots for proposed residential development. The proposed RH General Plan
land use designation will be implemented by the proposed RD-M zoning on the
property. The RH General Plan land use designation will be consistent with the RH
designation of the adjacent two parcels and will be consistent with surrounding
properties which are designated as RH and developed with multi-family residential
projects. 1
Conditions:
1. This approval is granted subject to the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and ZC 04-09 and is subject to

2. That the Zone Change will provide consistency between the General Plan and Zoning as
mandated by California State law and the City of Carlsbad General Plan Land Use
Element, in that the zone designation shown on Exhibit “ZC 04-09” attached hereto,
will implement the proposed General Plan Land Use designation of Residential High
Density (RH, 15-23 du/ac).
3. That the Zone Change is consistent with the public convenience, necessity and general
welfare, and is consistent with sound planning principles in that residential uses allowed
by the proposed zone change are compatible with the adjacent multifamily
residential uses.
Conditions:
1. This approval is granted subject to the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration

11. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is proposing to develop a previously graded vacant site totaling 0.88 acres with a
15-unit air space condominium project located on the north side of Gibraltar Street, south of the
La Costa Golf Course between Jerez Court and Romeria Street. The development of the
proposed condominium project requires the processing and approval of a General Plan
Amendment (GPA), Zone Change (ZC), Tentative Tract Map (CT) and Condominium Permit .
(CP). The project proposes a density of 17 dwelling units per acre which is slightly below the
Growth Management Control Point density of 19 dwelling units per acre for the Residential High
(RH) General Plan designation (15-23 ddac) for the subject site. The project as designed and
conditioned is in compliance with all City standards including the General Plan, Subdivision
Ordinance, Planned Development Ordinance, and Residential Density-Multiple (RD-MJ zoning
regulations of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC). The project will not have a significant
effect on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the
project. The project conforms to all applicable standards, there are no outstanding project issues,
and all necessary findings can be made for the approval being requested. City Council action is
required on the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change.

111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The subject site is 0.88 acres in size and is located on the north side of Gibraltar Street, south of
the La Costa Golf Course between Jerez Court and Romeria Street. The site was previously
graded into two stepped pads which overlook the La Costa Golf Course, which is approximately
13 feet below the subject site. The project site is comprised of three existing parcels, two of
which form a rectangle, and their General Plan designation is Residential High Density (RH)
with a corresponding Zoning designation of Residential Multiple (RD-M). The thxd parcel is
triangular in shape and extends out fiom the northeastern comer. The existing General Plan
designation of this parcel is Open Space (OS) and it is Zoned Planned Community (P-C). The
applicant is requesting to change the General Plan and Zoning designations of the triangular
parcel to RH and RD-M, respectively, to be consistent with the rest of the site.
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change: The triangular parcel was originally a part of the
Golf Course property, and was mapped within the floodplain of San Marcos Creek. The
designation of this parcel as open space was based on these assumptions. However, the
triangular parcel is at a higher elevation, was graded as part of the upland lots, not the Golf
Course, and subsequent, more accurate mapping, has shown that this property is clearly well
above and outside of the floodplain.
The project site topography includes level development pads over the three existing parcels, with
a slope bank along the northerly edge of the property. The project site has been graded into pads
adjacent to Gibraltar Street, presumably when the surrounding areas were originally developed
and the street system constructed. Physically, the triangular parcel is indistinguishable from the
adjacent property. /
The La Costa Master Plan and the 1982 zoning map show a zoning boundary that parallels
Gibraltar Street. The zoning boundary abuts the floodplain designation and also encompasses
the PC zoning of the golf course, which seems to indicate that the triangular parcel was thought
to be included in the floodplain and the golf course.
.
A Boundary Adjustment was completed and a Certificate of Compliance was approved in 1984
which associated this property with the adjacent residential parcels, presumably because of its
location approximately 13 feet higher than the surrounding property, and its non-use by the golf
course. In June 1984, the triangular parcel was sold by the La Costa Hotel and Spa to a private
development company. Since that time, the entire 0.88 acres has been transferred between
several subsequent owners as a single piece of property.
On subsequent General Plan and Zoning maps, it appears that the original boundaries based on
the old floodplain and golf course lines were repeated, rather than adjusted to reflect the field
conditions of the property, the association with adjacent parcels, or the Certificate of
Compliance.
Based on the history of this parcel, the open space boundary clearly was intended to follow the
golf course limits and any associated floodplain areas. Since the property is not part of the golf
course, and the entire site was graded into development pads accessible from Gibraltar Street,
this application is proposing to amend the General Plan and Zoning designations to place the RH
GPA 04-14/ZC 04-09/CT 04-05/CP 04-01- VISTA LA COSTA
January 5,2005
and RD-M designations over the entire property. The proposed amendments create consistency
across the project site and are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Grading: The proposed project will combine the three existing parcels into one underlying lot,
and the proposed 15 airspace condominium units will be built on it. In the Geotechnical
Evaluation dated January 13, 2004, by GeoSoils, Inc. it was found that a large portion of the
previously graded site contains undocumented fill which must be removed and replaced across
the site for a depth of 10 to 20 feet. Upon replacement of re-compacted soil, the site will be
graded to maintain its existing topography and will consist of two large stepped pads, vertically
offset by 4.5 feet. The two underground parking garages, located beneath each building, will
also be constructed to follow the existing grade of the site.
There will be approximately 32,600 cubic yards of remedial grading on the site. Standard
grading will involve 4,320 cubic yards of cut and 600 cubic yards of fill, with a net export of
3,720 cubic yards.
The existing slope along the northerly boundary was constructed at a 1.5: 1 grade. This slope is
proposed to be re-graded both onsite and offsite to a more standard 2:l grade for slope stability
and revegetation.
Proposed Project: There are two 3-story buildings proposed, each containing its own
combination of three unit types. Building 1 is the larger of the two, containing nine units and all
three floor plans. It does not exceed 35 feet in height on any elevation. Building 2 contains six
units, all of which offer the floor plan “B” configuration. The building height to the roof peak is
also a maximum of 35 feet. There are two chimney towers and an elevator $haft that extend
higher, to a maximum of 42.67 feet.
The three floor plan types range fiom 1,536 square feet to 1,672 square feet, and are comprised
of two and three bedroom units. Each unit can be accessed from two stairwells or an elevator, all
of which descend to the parking garage on the basement level. In addition, all floor plans have
been designed to be handicapped accessible.
-
All ground level units provide private patios accessible kom the living room or the master
bedroom suite. All second and third story units provide private balconies accessible fiom the
living room or the master bedroom suite.
All units contain enclosed, secure storage areas in front of their two designated parking spaces on
the basement level. The storage closets range from 457 cubic feet to 572 cubic feet.
Floor Plan “A” comprises 20% of the unit mix, and is offered.on all three floors of Building 1. It
is the middle unit, totaling 1,536 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Floor Plan
“B” comprises almost half of the unit mix, and is offered in one unit on the ground floor of
Building 1 and all six units in Building 2. It totals 1,570 square feet, and has three bedrooms and
three bathrooms. Floor Plan “C” is provided in five units located on all three floors of Building
1. It is an end unit, totaling 1,672 square feet, and has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Access and Parking: A 24-foot wide private driveway provides access to the site from Gibraltar
Street. There are two separate subterranean parking garages proposed to be located beneath each
building. Each parking garage contains two parking spaces for every unit located in the building
above it. Access to each garage is provided by two stairways or an elevator, whch also provides
access to each of the residential levels. There are seven visitor parking spaces provided in a
surface lot at the southeast comer of the site. A series of sidewalks and accessible pathways
provide pedestrian circulation throughout the site. They will be designated with enhanced
paving in locations where they cross over the private driveway.
Architecture: The architectural theme for this project is Spanish Colonial Revival. It utilizes
classic elements and design features. The design uses a variety of exterior doors, small accent
windows, exposed rafters, support columns, decorative chimneys, and towers around the two
elevator shafts. A notable feature is the elevated porches spanning the length of each building,
framed by arched facades that tie in with the roofs, creating a central courtyard along each fiont
elevation. Planters containing tall ornamental trees are proposed to be plaLed between the
exterior porches and the front building walls for added privacy within each unit.
IV. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
General Plan RH (Residential High Density) designation;
RD-M Zone (Residential Density-Multiple) and Planned Development regulations
(Chapters 21.24 and 21.45 respectively of the Carlsbad Municipal Code);

A. General Plan
The proposed project is consistent with the policies and programs of the General Plan. The
property has a General Plan designation of RH which allows the development of multi-family
residential units at a density of 15-23 dwelling units per acre with a growth control point of 19.0
dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of the project, at 17 dwelling units per acre, is
within the density range of the RH designation, but below the growth management control point
(19 ddac) used for the purpose of calculating the City’s compliance with Government Code
Section 65584. However, consistent with Program 3.8 of the City’s certified Housing Element,
all of the dwelling units, which were anticipated toward achieving the City’s share of the
regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects, are deposited in
the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are available for allocation
to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are
adequate properties identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a
unit capacity, including second dwelling units, adequate to satisfl the City’s share of the regional
housing need. The project proposes 15 condominium units being developed on a 0.88 acre lot.
The project complies with all the elements of the General Plan as outlined in Table 1 below:

Proposed Amendment to the General Plan: The project site is comprised of three existing
parcels, two of which form a rectangle, and their General Plan designation is Residential High
Density (RH) with a corresponding Zoning designation of Residential Multiple (RD-M). The
third parcel is triangular in shape and extends out from the northeastern corner. The existing
General Plan designation of this parcel is Open Space (OS) and it is Zoned Planned Community
(P-C). The applicant is requesting to change the General Plan and Zoning designations of the
triangular parcel to RH and RD-M, respectively, to be consistent with the rest of’the site.
The triangular parcel was originally a part of the La Costa Golf Course property, and was
mapped within the floodplain of San Marcos Creek. The designation of this parcel as open space
was apparently based on these assumptions. However, the triangular parcel is at a higher
elevation, graded as part of the upland lots, not the golf course, and subsequent, more accurate

Planning Commission Minutes DRAFT p;~~BIT January 5,2005
2. GPA 04-14/ZC 04-09/CT 04-05/CP 04-01 - VISTA LA COSTA - Request for approval of
a Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, General
Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Tentative Tract Map, and Condominium Permit to
develop a 15-unit residential condominium project on a 0.88 acre site generally located
on the north side of Gibraltar Street, south of the La Costa Golf Course, between Jerez
Court and Romeria Street, within Local Facilities Management Zone 6.
Mr. Neu introduced Item 2 and stated Associate Planner Saima Qureshy would make the staff
presentation.
Chairperson Segall opened the Public Hearing on Item 2.
Ms. Qureshy stated agenda Item 2, Vista La Costa, is a request to develop a 15 unit residential
condominium on the subject site located on the north side of Gibraltar Street, south of the La Costa Golf
Course, between Jerez Court and Romeria Street. The subject site is 0.88 acres in area. It is comprised
of three existing parcels, two of which form a rectangle. The third parcel is triangular in shape and
extends out from the northeastern corner. The site was previously graded into two stepped pads which
overlook the La Costa Golf Course, which is approximately 13 feet below the subject site. The applicant
is proposing to combine the three existing parcels into one underlying lot to develop the proposed project.
Ms. Qureshy stated the applicant is proposing two 3-story buildings to develop 15 condominiums.
Building 1 is the larger of the two, containing nine units and Building 2 will have 6 units located in it.
There are three different floor plans proposed which range in size from 1,536 to 1,672 square feet and
are comprised of 2 and 3 bedroom units. A passive recreation area is provided in the northern part of the
site. Parking for the residents is located in subterranean garages and visitor spaces are located at-grade,
accessible from on-site driveways.
The architectural theme for this project is Spanish Colonial revival. The design uses a variety of exterior
colors, small accent windows, exposed rafters and support columns. Elevated porches are provided
framed by arched facades creating a central courtyard along each front elevation.
As part of this project, the applicant is also proposing to amend GP and Zoning for the triangular parcel.
This parcel is 0.18 acres in area. This parcel’s current GP designation is OS which is proposed to be
changed to RH or Residential High Density and its zoning designation is Planned Community which is
proposed to be changed to RD-M zone to be consistent with the rest of the site. This triangular parcel
was originally a part of the Golf Course property, and was mapped within the floodplain of San Marcos
Creek. The designation of this parcel as open space was based on those two assumptions. However,
this parcel is at a higher elevation, about 13 feet higher than the golf course, it was graded as part of the
upland lots, not the Golf Course, and current mapping, has shown that this property is clearly well above
and outside of the floodplain. Based on this history, staff is supportive of the proposed General Plan
amendment and Zone Change.
The proposed GPA and ZC are consistent with neighboring properties. The proposed project is
consistent with its GP designation of RH. It is consistent with the zoning designation of RD-M and
Planned Development ordinance by complying with development standards for lot coverage, setbacks,
height, parking spaces and provision of recreation area.
The project is also found to be consistent with the subdivision ordinance. To comply with City’s affordable
housing requirements, the project will purchase 3 affordable housing credits in Villa Loma project. A
mitigated Negative Declaration is recommended for adoption for the project.
Ms. Qureshy concluded her presentation and stated she would be available to answer any questions.
Chairperson Segall asked if the applicant wished to make a presentation.
Ann Gunter, Lightfoot Planning Group, gave a detailed presentation.
Chairperson Segall asked if there were any further questions of the applicant.
Planning Commission Minutes January 5,2005 Page 4
Commissioner Montgomery asked the applicant about the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change.
The applicant stated that the triangular parcel is part of the upland lots, and a 1969 grading map for
Gibraltar Street shows that the natural topography of all the three lots was similar and it was higher than
the golf course.
Chairperson Segall asked if there were any members of the audience who wished to speak on the item.
Seeing none, he opened and closed public testimony.
