Staff prepared an initial study for the project and concluded 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 the Villages of La Costa Master Plan MP 98-01 (EIR 98-07), dated October 23, 2001. EIR 98-07 evaluates the potential environmental effects of the development and operation of the “Villages of La Costa Master Plan” and associated actions inclusive of the proposed planning area project reviewed here. The City Council certified EIR 98-07 on October 23, 2001. 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 98-07 applicable to the proposed project have been completed, incorporated into the project design or are required as conditions of approval for the project. Mitigation Measure 4.8- 1A required an acoustical analysis for certain areas of the Master Plan to identify all necessary noise control requirements on project plans necessary to meet the City of Carlsbad interior and exterior noise levels. The required study was provided and the plans have incorporated noise walls where appropriate. The EIR 98-07 “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the Villages of La Costa Master Plan Final Program EIR. The proposed activities would have no effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR, as they are a part of the program analyzed earlier. This project is within the scope of Final Program EIR 98- 07 and no further CEQA compliance is required. EIR 98-07 and the initial study prepared for the project are available at the Planning Department. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impacts have been identified. EXHIBITS: 1.

I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 5844 and 5845 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Site Development Plan SDP 04-13 and Hillside Development Permit HDP 04-10 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. 11. INTRODUCTION The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP) for 168 affordable apartments and a Hillside Development Permit (HDP) to regrade the site within La Costa Oaks Neighborhood 3.6 of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The units in this project will be utilized to comply with the inclusionary housing obligations for the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The City Council has the final authority to approve projects proposing over 50 dwelling units. Therefore, the Planning Commission is being asked to make a recommendation of approval for the project. As designed and conditioned, the project is in conformance with the General Plan, Villages of La Costa Master Plan (MP 98-01), Villages of La Costa Final Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-07), and the relevant Zoning Chapters of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. There are no unresolved project issues, and findings can be made for approval of the project. \ 111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The Villages of La Costa Master Plan (MP 98-01) was approved by the City Council on October 23, 2001. The purpose of the Master Plan is to provide for the orderly development of the Villages of La Costa site, while preserving the environmental resources of the area. For planning purposes, the Villages of La Costa Master Plan is divided into 3 Villages with a total of 38 planning areas. The Master Plan identifies the allowable type and intensity of land uses in each SDP 04-13/HDP 04-10 - VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD 3.6 AFFORDABLE SITE March 2,2005 Page 2 village and provides general development and design standards, requirements, and the method by whch the Villages of La Costa Master Plan will be implemented. The 15.8-acre project site is located in the PC Zone within the boundaries of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The site, which is identified as La Costa Oaks Neighborhood 3.6, is designated for development of up to 171 units that will be utilized to comply with the inclusionary housing requirements of the Master Plan. The site is located on the east side of Rancho Santa Fe Road and south San Elijo Road. It is bounded on the north by a yet to be developed Community Facilities zoned property, Neighborhood 3.2 of the Oaks, and on the east by land in the City of San Marcos. The site slopes downward towards the north. The site has been graded as part of the completion of Rancho Santa Fe Road. Undeveloped land with scrub vegetation is located south of the site. Residential development is proposed east and west of the site. Access to fie site is via two entrance points. The primary entrance is located on a new street proposed with the project at the south end and the secondary access is fiom San Elijo Road at the north end of the project. The vehicular circulation system meanders from south to north and provides access to the units as well as resident and guest parking areas. The project consists of nine two- and three-story apartment buildings, a one-story community recreation center, and a large landscaped open space area. Walkways throughout the landscaped areas predominantly provide access to the individual buildings, but also provide pedestrian connections between the residential buildings and the recreation areas. The community center serves as a focal point at the primary project entrance. The building is 2,705 square feet and contains a large community room with a kitchen, computer room, offices, and laundry facilities. Adjacent to the building is an open space recreation area that includes a large turf area, tot lot, and seating areas. - There are two different configurations for the 9 apartment buildings. As shown on the architectural plans, Building Type 1 is a three-story structure containing 20 one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments. Building Type 2 is also three stories and contains 18 apartments that are either one- or two-bedroom. The buildings all have stucco exteriors with gabled roofs covered with an architectural asphalt shingle. All sides of the building are well designed with a great deal of articulation on the bui€ding planes including pop-outs, arched elements, window pot shelves, balconies, and stucco door, window, and fascia trim. Each unit contains either a patio or a balcony. Both of the three-story structures contain two-story elements to visually reduce the mass of the building. All resident and guest parking is met through open parking except for Building 5 which provides covered parking in a subterranean parking garage under the residential units. Parking areas are accented with some enhanced paving. Landscaping and enhanced paving also accents the development at the main entrance and is utilized strategically throughout the site. A decorative site wall surrounds the project on the north, west, and south sides that will screen parked vehicles from the surrounding public views and will also provide for sound attenuation from Rancho Santa Fe Road. The 168 units proposed will be 100% affordable to households with incomes not exceeding 70% of the median income for San Diego County. The project contains a mix of 36 one-bedroom units that are approximately 798 square feet in size, 60 two-bedroom units that are approximately 1,006 square feet in size, and 72 three-bedroom units that are approximately 1,247 square feet in size. 27 SDP 04-13/HDP 04-10 - VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD 3.6 AFFORDABLE SITE March 2,2005 Land Use The developer is required to provide all public facilities necessary to serve the project in accordance with the Zone 11 Local Facilities Management Plan. This includes, but is not limited to installation of roadways, infrastructure, and a trafic signal at the intersection of Rancho Santa Fe Road and Avenida Soledad. .- GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM Site is designated for medium high density residential uses at 11.5 ddac. Rough grading for the site was reviewed in conjunction with the Master Plan and approved by Hillside Development Permit HDP 99-02. The project will require approximately 77,500 cubic yards of cut, 77,500 cubic yards of fill to accommodate the circulation system and building pads. The required mitigation for loss of habitat on this site was previously considered with the review of the Master Plan and was satisfied prior to approval of mass grading permits for the site. IV.

Villages of La Costa Master Plan (and underlying RD-M zone) The Master Plan requires development in Neighborhood 3.6 to comply with the standards of the RD-M zone unless otherwise specified. Development is also required to comply with standards and design guidelines outlined in the Master Plan. As discussed below, the proposed project is consistent with all Master Plan and zoning requirements. The Master Plan designates Neighborhood 3.6 as one of the affordable housing sites for the Master Plan due to its proximity to major arterials and public transit. The Master Plan allows 171 dwelling units on this site. This calculation was based on the Master Plan analysis of land area and the Residential Medim-High density range of 8-15 ddac. As illustrated in Table 2 below, the project is consistent with all development standards and design guidelines required by both the RD-M zone and the La Costa Oaks Development Plan for Neighborhood 3.6.

C. Inclusionary Housing (Chapters 21.85 and 21.53 of the Zoning Ordinance) The Villages of La Costa Master Plan is required to provide affordable housing in conformance with the requirements of the Inclusionsary Housing Ordinance, Section 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The affordable housing requirements of the Master Plan will be met through the construction of two combined inclusionary projects. The total number of affordable units required is based on the maximum number of units allowed by the Tentative Maps approved withm the Master Plan. The Master Plan permits a maximum of 2,390 dwelling units within the various neighborhoods. This mqximum dwelling unit number may not be achieved since several neighborhoods have already been approved at unit counts below the maximum allowed by the Master Plan. Regardless, 15% of the total dwelling units approved must be affordable to low income households. The first of two affordable housing projects for the Villages of La Costa is nearing completion in the Greens Neighborhood. That project consists of 180 low income apartments. This project will add an additional 168 low income apartments for a total of 348. affordable units. The total unit count for the Villages of La Costa shall therefore not exceed 2,320, unless additional affordable units are provided. Current counts of approved residential projects and future projected residential projects for the Master Plan area total 2,283 units. Based on this current count, the end result is the provision of more affordable units than the minimum 15% that is required. Of the required affordable units, 10% must be three bedroom units. The Greens Neighborhood project contains 79 three-bedroom and 30 four-bedroom units for a total of 60% of that project’s unit count. This project has 72 three-bedroom units, which is 43% of the project unit count. Together, 52% of all of the affordable units are three-bedroom or larger. The required findings for compliance with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance include consistency with General Plan goals and policies, adequacy of the site and street system, and a determination that the affordable units are compatible with surrounding uses, and will not adversely impact the site or surrounding areas including traffic circulation. The project site is located at the southeast comer of Rancho Santa Fe Road and San Elijo Road. The location is close to major routes to jobs throughout north San Diego County and is adjacent 3a SDP 04-13/HDP 04-10 - VILLAGES OF LA COSTA - OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD 3.6 AFFORDABLE SITE March 2,2005 STANDARD IMPACTS Citv Administration 584.09 sauare feet Page 8 COMPLIANCE?

Undevelopable areas of the project, i.e. slopes over 40%, have been properly identified on the constraints map. Parks Drainage The development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose, and requirements of the Hillside Ordinance, Chapter 21.95, in that the project will be a balanced site with a total grading quantity of 5,170 cubic yards per acre, and that the project is proposed with pads that step with the existing topography of the property from the south to the north. Grading will also not occur in the undevelopable portions of the site. Grading is only proposed within the existing areas of disturbance established by the previously authorized mass grading of the site. . 1.17 acres Yes Drainage Basin D Yes The project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrated in the Hillside Development Guidelines Manual, since the project is designed as stepped pads achieved by cutting into the hgh side of the slope and filling over the low side of the slope.

Staff prepared an initial study for the project and concluded 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 the Villages of La Costa Master Plan MP 98-01 (EIR 98-07), dated October 23, 2001. EIR 98-07 evaluates the potential environmental effects of the development and operation of the “Villages of La Costa Master Plan” and associated actions inclusive of the proposed planning area project reviewed here. The City Council certified EIR 98-07 on October 23,2001. At that time CEQA Findmgs 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 fkom EIR 98-07 applicable to the proposed project have been completed, incorporated into the project design or are required as conditions of approval for the project. Mitigation measures incorporated into the project include a 50-foot landscape setback along Rancho Santa Fe Road. Additionally, a supplemental acoustical analysis was submitted which identified that units facing Rancho Santa Fe Road will require additional noise mitigation, as was anticipated in the Program EIR., The EIR 98-07 “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the Villages of La Costa Master Plan Final Program EIR. The proposed activities would have no effects beyond those analyzed in the program EIR, as they are a part of the program analyzed earlier. The total number of Master Plan units evaluated in EIR 98-07 will not be increased. This project is within the scope of Final Program EIR 98-07 and no further CEQA compliance is required. EIR 98-07 and the respective initial study for the project is available at the Planning Department. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2. 3. Location Map 4. Disclosure Form 5. Background Data Sheet 6.

Mr. Neu introduced Item 3 and stated Senior Planner Christer Westman would make the Staff presentation. Chairperson Segall. asked the applicant if he wished to continue with the hearing having only 6 Commissioners present. The applicant stated he would. Chairperson Segall opened the public hearing on Item 3. Mr. Westman stated the project is the Villages of La Costa-Oaks Neighborhood 3.6. The project site is located on Rancho Santa Fe Road adjacent to the City of San Marcos just immediately south of the San Elijo Road connection to Rancho Santa Fe Road. The project consists of approximately 16 acres which has already been graded. The project includes re-grading the site; therefore, a Hillside Development Permit is necessary. Mr. Westman stated site access is from a new road off of Avenida Soledad to the south, and also from the north end of the site by the realigned San Elijo Road. The project is nine buildings, each being 3 stories. There is a total of 168 apartments being proposed: 36 will be one- bedroom units, 60 will be two-bedroom units, and 72 will be three-bedroom units. A 2,700-square foot community building is proposed onsite. Parking is provided onsite at grade level. There will be 382 parking spaces, which is above the 363 minimum parking requirement. Thirty-eight of those parking stalls will be provided in a garage under Building 5. The project is subject to the Villages of La Costa Master Plan which identified this site specifically as an affordable housing site. This is the second of 2 affordable projects in the Villages of La Costa and will complete the inclusionary requirement for that entire Master Plan. The project is consistent with the Villages of La Costa Master Plan EIR. The mitigation monitoring and reporting program has been implemented with the original grading of the site. There were minor additional mitigation measures applied to this project including the landscaping setback along Rancho Santa Fe Road as well as an acoustical study requiring building specifications to make sure the interior noise levels do not exceed 45 CNEL. This project is subject to the Hillside Ordinance and that is due to the re-grading of the site, and it is also subject to the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance. As previously mentioned, this project completes all of the inclusionary requirements for all of the Villages of La Costa. Mr. Westman concluded his presentation and stated he would be available to answer any questions. Chairperson Segall asked if there were any questions of Staff. Seeing none, he asked if the applicant wished to make a presentation. Fred Arbuckle, 1903 Wright Place, Carlsbad, stated he is requesting approval of the Site Development Permit for the second affordable housing community, Neighborhood 3.6, located in the Villages of La Costa. The approval of this project will provide the final component of the affordable housing requirement for all of the Villages of La Costa. With this approval and the completion of the homes, there will be more homes built than required under the City’s Ordinance. The current requirement is for only 342 units but with this approval, there will be 348 units, or 6 more units than required. Mr. Arbuckle concluded his presentation. Chairperson Segall asked if there were any questions of the applicant. Jim Schmid, President of Chelsea Investments, 725 South Coast Highway 101, Encinitas, gave a brief presentation. Chairperson Segall asked if there were any questions of Mr. Schmid. Chairperson Segall asked if the name of the project is now Hunters Point. Mr. Schmid stated that was correct. Planning Commission Minutes March 2, 2005 Page 5 Jack Henthorn, Henthorn and Associates, 5365 Avenida Encinas Suite A, Carlsbad, gave detailed presentation regarding the project. Chairperson Segall asked what type of facility will be at community site. Mr. Henthorn stated that they are still working on the use palette for that particular site. It can incorporate any number of facilities that generally meet the community needs. Chairperson Segall inquired if there would be opportunities for the Planning Commission to see the La Costa Greens affordable site prior to sell-out to see what is available. Mr. Henthorn stated that as they get closer to occupancy there will be an opportunity provided to the City Council as well as the Planning Commission to visit the site. Chairperson Segall asked if the name Hunters Point being contiguous with protected open space is troubling to anyone. Mr. Henthorn stated that the management company, Chelsea Investments, is fine with it. Commissioner Montgomery asked for the applicant to discuss the access points for the north end of the site. Mr. Henthorn stated that there are a number of issues pertaining to that. First of all, there is no site plan for the adjacent site so they are unsure what configuration that site will ultimately take. As he understands, there will be about 150 units on 5 acres which will limit the opportunity to put in a fully improved public street through that area. The problem with the driveway circumstance is that they are dealing with a private driveway and a relatively narrow street section as you begin to force all those units from direct access onto San Elijo Road you will be utilizing that drive through the project as a main circulation link up to Avenida Soledad. Mr. Henthorn stated there are a number of issues associated with the site access and they are open to having that connection made. They are willing to post the bond. They fully understand it and they have discussed the opportunities with the adjacent developer, but he is just not at a point where he can commit to anything to accommodate the additional traffic. Mr. Henthorn further stated the adjacent site is out of the City’s jurisdiction, which makes it even more difficult. Commissioner Montgomery asked if Bob Wojcik, Deputy City Engineer-Development Services, to comment on the issue. Mr. Wojcik stated that during the work on the Villages of La Costa Master Plan, Staff had identified that location as a problem being so close to the intersection with Rancho Santa Fe Road. At the time there was discussion that the developer stated he was in with the Master Plan developers in San Marcos to try to accommodate some type of street going through at that location. That was their initial intention. Mr. Wojcik stated Staff identified the location as a potential problem with the design of that site. As Mr. Henthorn pointed out, the adjacent site is in a different jurisdiction. This project has private streets versus not knowing what the street configuration is in San Marcos. To change things around to allow for the future connection into San Marcos, there would have to be some accommodations for the amount of traffic that could go through there. Not knowing what the volume of traffic coming through there is, Staff is not sure the City would end up with a safe situation as far as the volume of traffic coming from the narrow private streets. The other alternative would be to redesign the project to put public streets in which would definitely require a major redesign on the project. Commissioner Montgomery asked if Staff was suggesting that if by chance it actually does link up through to San Marcos, there could be a reverse flow of traffic with that development through this project and out to Rancho Santa Fe Road and this project is not designed to accommodate something like that. Mr. Wojcik stated that was correct and that it could be the path of least resistance for the traffic to come through this project from San Marcos so there may be more traffic going through this development going to or from San Marcos than you actually would have Carlsbad traffic going through to San Marcos. John Maashoff, Associate Engineer, stated that while going through the review process, Staff did have discussions with the developer of the adjacent property in San Marcos to confirm there was a good faith effort made on the part of the developer here to acquire that access and Staff does anticipate continuing discussions as the process continues in hopes that the access can continue to be analyzed and hopefully put through so that the San Elijo Road access point can be eliminated at some point in the future when the adjacent property’s site plan is finalized. Commissioner Montgomery stated that it seems as though those discussions may need to continue up the ladder in both cities because to ask this developer to work with that City is something that can be suggested but not forced. Mr. Maashoff stated that he can follow up with San Marcos Staff as well. 47 Planning Commission Minutes March 2,2005 Page 6 Chairperson Segall asked to hear the condition that is being placed on the project and what the portion is that is being bonded for. Mr. Maashoff identified the area on a map and stated that it is just south of the driveway to San Elijo Road. Commissioner Cardosa asked why there are only 38 parking spaces provided under Building 5. Mr. Henthorn stated that there are situations unique to the location of that building that offered the opportunity to provide the underground parking. Commissioner Cardosa asked if the rental value would be any different for those units. Mr. Henthorn stated that he did not believe so because they are restricted because of the funding being used to construct the project. Commissioner Dominguez asked Mr. Wojcik what the proposed distance is between the entry driveway and the main thoroughfare, Mr. Maashoff stated that the main signalized intersection at San Elijo Road and Rancho Santa Fe Road is approximately 150 feet from the proposed driveway entrance into the project. Commissioner Baker asked if that entry would be conditioned to be right-turn only or will they be able to turn left out of that intersection. Mr. Maashoff stated it will be a right-idright-out only. Commissioner Dominguez asked if the access point at Avenida Soledad would be restricted to right- idright-out. Mr. Maashoff stated that the intersection at Avenida Soledad and Rancho Santa Fe Road will be signalized so there will be full access. Commissioner Cardosa asked how Condition No. 28, which requires specified maintenance as far as things hanging over balconies and overall cleanliness of the property, will be done by Chelsea onsite with an onsite manager or by an offsite management company. Mr. Schmid stated that Chelsea Investments owns and operates the management company which owns and operates the apartments. Commissioner Dominguez asked if there will be onsite management. Mr. Schmid stated there will be onsite management. Chairperson Segall asked if there were any other questions of Staff or if there were any other members of the audience who wished to speak on the item. Seeing none, he opened and closed public testimony.
