DEPT. 18 BBS OS/1C/20M PLN AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN BATCH 2 OF 2006 DEPT. HEAD \ CITY ATTY. (^wr%&> CITY MGR. IJs-^ RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2006-241 .. APPROVING the second amendments in 2006 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan, consisting of two projects commonly known as "La Costa Village Center Townhomes" (GPA 04-10) and "La Costa Resort Lot Line Adjustment" (GPA 05-09). ITEM EXPLANATION: State law allows a jurisdiction to amend a mandatory element of the General Plan no more than four times per calendar year. The mandatory elements are Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space, Noise, Safety, and Conservation. Each amendment to a mandatory element, however, may include more than one change to that element. The two General Plan Amendment applications listed below propose changes to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element. The City Council has approved in concept each of the applications at duly noticed public hearings on the meeting dates noted below. The two applications are now being grouped together to comprise the second amendments in 2006 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element. The recommended action would formally adopt the changes to the General Plan (previously approved in concept), which will ensure consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

Since the amendments consists of two different projects, the impacts of each project need to be considered cumulatively. The City's environmental review of each project, as described below, determined the projects would cause no significant environmental effects (when mitigation measures are implemented for GPA 04-10). The environmental analysis performed for each project revealed that the projects would produce no cumulatively considerable impacts when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects. Therefore, the cumulative impacts resulting from the second amendments in 2006 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element have been addressed adequately, and no additional environmental analysis is necessary. GPA 04-10 La Costa Village Center Townhomes GPA 04-10 is part of a project that consists of a subdivision of a 14.4 acre site (west side of El Camino Real and north of Dove Lane) into 4 lots (2 residential lots for 53 condominiums, 1 driveway lot, and 1 open space lot). The project involves an amendment to the land use designations (GPA 04-10 and LCPA 04-09), and the zoning designations (ZC 04-06 and LCPA 04-09). An environmental review for the project, including GPA 04-10, was processed in accordance with CEQA. Potentially significant biological and noise impacts were identified. The developer agreed to mitigation measures to reduce the identified impacts to below a level of significance and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with CEQA. The City Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program on June 27, 2006. GPA 05-09 La Costa Resort Lot Line Adjustment The proposed GPA is part of a project that consists of a change to the land use designations on 7 parcels, and a lot line adjustment to convey property known as the "finger lands" of the La Costa Resort and Spa property to adjacent property owners. .
