and west of El Camino Real, between Camino Vida Roble and Alga Road in
Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 21.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3536,
recommending APPROVAL of the Conditional Negative Declaration issued by the Planning
Director, ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 3537, 3538, recommending
APPROVAL of ZC 93-02 and SDP 93-06, and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution Nos.
3539, 3540, APPROVING SUP 93-02, and HOP 93-08, based on the findings and subject
to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change, Site Development Plan, Special Use
Permit, and Hillside Development Permit to change the zoning from Limited Control (L-C)
to Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M), and to construct 344 residential apartment units
on a 21 acre parcel located adjacent and west of El Camino Real, between Camino Vida
Roble and Alga Road in Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 21.
The project is being developed by Aviara Land Associates Limited in concert with the
Bridge Housing Corporation, a nonprofit affordable housing developer. The project site is
targeted to satisfy the affordable housing requirements of the Aviara Master Plan as
stipulated in the Aviara Housing Agreement adopted by City Council on July 20, 1993.
The project would contain 344 apartment units affordable to very low and low income
households. As part of a "combined affordable housing project" the remaining affordable
housing units (184 dwelling units), over and above the units allocated for the Aviara
housing agreement (160 dwelling units), could be utilized to satisfy the affordable
requirements of other offsite developers contingent upon future housing agreements
approved by the City.

The 21 acre site occupies a portion of the mesa top which lies at the southeast extent of
Canyon de las Encinas. The site consists of gently sloping topography and a small
erosional drainage that crosses a portion of the property, exiting at the northwest comer
and subsequently traveling into Canyon de las Encinas to the northwest. Canyon de las
Encinas ultimately empties into the Pacific Ocean approximately three miles to the west.
Elevations on the site range from 230 to 322 feet above mean sea level. The site has been
cleared in the past presumably for agriculture and a majority of the property contains only
sparse remnants of native vegetation, including disturbed southern maritime chaparral, two
very small isolated areas of arroyo willows and several scattered species of coast live oak,
Del Mar Manzanita and Summer Holly.
The property is located in the Limited Control Zone (L-C), which is an interim zone for
areas where planning for future land uses has not been completed or plans for development
have not been formalized. The General Plan Land Use Designation for the property is
Residential Medium High (RM) which designates the site for small lot single-family homes
or townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, and low density apartment developments.
As shown on Exhibits "A"-"R", the proposed project would consist of two and three-story,
eight and twenty unit apartment buildings all developed around central 24 and 32 foot
wide driveways. Along the driveways there would be guest parking spaces, trash
enclosures, and maintenance storage structures. Near the project entryway there would
be a common recreation complex containing a swimming pool, exercise room, leasing
office, gathering room, kitchen, and restroom facility. The project would also contain a
play area for children and flat grassy areas between buildings, driveways, and slope areas.
Resident parking would consist of open parking spaces and carports evenly dispersed
throughout the site. The apartment units would be one, two and three bedroom, and
range in size from 634 to 1,052 square feet. The project would feature contemporary
architecture consisting of tile roofs with a varying roof line, stucco exteriors, and individual
apartments would have a patio or balcony.
Access to the site would be provided by a 60 foot collector street ("A" Street) that
intersects with EL Camino Real. The surrounding neighborhood is developed with
industrial buildings to the north, an SDG&E powerline easement to the west, a retail flower
shop and greenhouses to the south, and El Camino Real to the east.

A GENERAL PLAN:
LAND USE ELEMENT
The property has a Residential Medium (RM) General Plan Land Use Designation that
allows the development of small lot single-family homes or townhouses, duplexes, triplexes,
and low density apartment developments at a density from 4 to 8 dus/acre with a 6
dus/acre growth management control point. The project would contain 344 apartment
units developed at a density of 17 .6 dwelling units per acre. The Land Use Element was
recently amended to allow density increases, above the maximum residential densities
permitted by the General Plan, to enable the development of lower-income affordable
housing, through processing of a Site Development Plan permit. A Site Development Plan
is being processed with this project and based on the findings of that permit, the project
would be compatible with adjacent land uses, there would be adequate public facilities, and
the project site would be located in proximity to a major roadway (ECR), and employment
and commercial opportunities, therefore, staff believe that this is an excellent site for
affordable units as explained in more detail later in the staff report and the density increase
to 17.6 dus/acre would be consistent with the General Plan.
The City's General Plan allows an increase in density for affordable housing, however, the
City has not yet amended the adopted Mello II Local Coastal Program in order to allow
such density increases in the Coastal Zone. Under Housing Element Policy 3.7.f (Priority
Processing) this project is being expedited and would be presented to the Planning
Commission before the LCP would be amended, therefore, the only alternative is to process
the project under the State density bonus provision (Carlsbad Municipal Code, Title 21.86)
which permits a density bonus for affordable housing projects (see Section B(2) of this
report). State density bonus law, pursuant to Government Code Sections 65915, preempts
zc 93-02/SDP 93-06/S.93-02/HDP 9~-o's
VILLAS AT EL CAMINO REAL
SEPTEMBER 1, 1993

•
the provisions of a certified Local Coastal Program, therefore, the density increase would
be permitted in the Coastal Zone.
1. Zone Change
The property is located in the Limited Control Zone (L-C), which is an interim zone for
areas where planning for future land uses has not been completed or plans for development
have not been formalized. The General Plan Land Use Designation for the property is
Residential Medium High (RM) which allows the development of multi-family residential
developments such as apartment projects. A formal proposal for residential development
(apartments) accompanies the zone change application, therefore, changing the zoning
from LC to Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M), which is a multi-family residential zone,
would be consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation for the site
(RM).
HOUSING ELEMENT
The project would provide 344 apartment units (100%) affordable to very low, and low
income households and would be consistent with Policy 3.6. b which states that, a minimum
of fifteen percent (15%) of all approved units in any residential master plan, specific plan
or qualified subdivision shall be set aside and made affordable to lower income households.
The 344 affordable housing units would substantially contribute towards meeting the City's
regional need of 2,509 affordable units over the next 5 years. The project would also
provide 104 three bedroom units and be consistent with Policy 3.2 which states that
developments which are required to include 10 or more units affordable to lower income
households, at least 10 percent of the lower income units should have three or more
bedrooms.
The project would contain an increase in density above the growth management control
point (6 dus/acre) and require the allocation of excess dwelling units from the Southwest
Quadrant bank. The utilization of these surplus dwelling units would be consistent with
Policy 3.8 because all the dwelling units above the growth control point would be
restricted as affordable for very low and low income households. Policy 3.8 states that
excess dwelling units in the bank shall be allocated under a priority system in which
housing developments for low and very low households receive first priority. More
specifics regarding the availability of excess dwelling units in the Southwest Quadrant are
discussed in Section D of this report.
B. CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE:
1. CHAPTER 21.85 -INCLUSIONARY HOUSING:
Per the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, this project is defined as a "combined
inclusionary housing project". The affordable housing requirements of the Aviara Master
Plan, under an approved affordable housing agreement (160 affordable dwelling units)
with the City, would be provided on this site which is not located in the master plan.
ZC 93-02/SDP 93-06/S.93-02/HDP 9·3-0.8
VILLAS AT EL CAMINO REAL
SEPTEMBER 1, 1993
PAGE 5
•
When there is a contractual relationship such that some or all of the inclusionary units
which are associated with one development are produced and operated at an alternative
site it is classified as a combination project. This arrangement is allowed by the ordinance,
with the requirement that the combined housing project be subject to approval of the final
decision making authority of the City. In addition, the construction of inclusionary units
is limited to sites within the same City quadrant in which market rate units are located or
sites which are contiguous to the quadrant in which market rate units are proposed. In
this case, the Aviara Master Plan and the project site are both located in the Southwest
Quadrant.
In general, this site is appropriate as a combined affordable housing project site because
it complies with the ordinance requirement that inclusionary housing units restricted for
lower income households should be located on sites that are in proximity to the following:
(1) employment opportunities -industrial parks located directly north; (2) urban services -
commercial centers located 1 mile south and future community park and daycare center
located 1/3 mile west; (3) major road -prime arterial (El Camino Real); (4) other
transportation facilities (transit bus lines on ECR), and; 5) is compatible with adjacent
land uses (see discussion under Site Development Plan).
2. CHAPTER 21.86 -RESIDENTIAL DENSITY BONUS:
The applicant is requesting density above the maximum General Plan land use designation
for the site (RM), under the provisions of the City's Residential Density Bonus Ordinance.
The purpose of this ordinance is to provide incentives to developers for the production of
housing affordable to lower income households. Density bonus means a minimum density
increase of at least 25% over the growth management control point (6 dus/net acre) for
the project site. Section 21.86.030 of the ordinance states that for new residential
construction the City shall grant a density bonus and at least one additional incentive.
Additional incentives may consist of a reduction in development standards and architectural
design requirements, partial or additional density, and direct financial aid. Under the
provisions for a density bonus the applicant must agree to construct a minimum of 20%
(more restrictive than 15% inclusionary requirement) of the total base units of the project
as restricted and affordable to low income households, or a minimum of 10% of the total
base units as restricted and affordable to very low income households. The project meets
these minimum requirements by providing 344 apartment units affordable to lower income
households.
The applicant is requesting a density increase of more than 25% (196%), therefore, the
requested density increase beyond 25% is an additional density bonus and is considered an
additional incentive. The City may at its discretion grant an additional density bonus if a
written finding is made by the final decision making authority (City Council) of the City
that the additional density bonus is required in order for allowable housing expenses to be
set as affordable. The applicant has submitted proforma evidence that the additional
incentive is economically necessary to make the units affordable as proposed. The need
for incentives to support a project targeted to the proposed level of affordability is also
confirmed by the City's analysis "Economics of Developing Affordable Housing", dated
, ZC 93-02/SDP 93-06/S.93-02/HDP 9·3-0.8

•
December 1991. In addition to the Density Bonus incentives, the applicant will be
requesting additional economic assistance from the City and applying for other sources of
subsidy financing outside the City. The financing proposal for the project will be
considered by the Carlsbad Housing Commission and the City Council, and will be
incorporated into the Affordable Housing Agreement which is a condition of Site
Development Plan approval.
3. CHAPTER 21.53, SECTION 21.53.120 -SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
The Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.53.120 requires a Site Development Plan for any
multi-family residential apartment development having more than 4 dwelling units or an
affordable housing project of any size.
Before the Planning Commission recommends approval of the project to the City Council,
Title 21, Section 21.53.120(c) requires that the following finding be made:
"That the project is in conformity with the General Plan and adopted policies and goals of
the City, and it would have no detrimental effect on public health. safety and welfare".
a. The project site and the property to the south and west are all designated for
residential land use on the General Plan Land Use Map. The General Plan
allows density increases above the maximum designated density range for a
property to enable the development oflower-income affordable housing. The
project is consistent with the General Plan and Local Coastal Program as
discussed in Sections A and C of this report. The project would not have a
significant impact on the environment as discussed in Section E of this
report.
b. Due to the project's location adjacent to El Camino Real (ECR) and the
provision of a non-loaded collector street ("A" Street) leading from the
·project entry to ECR, traffic would not adversely affect the surrounding
properties. Construction of "A" Street leading from the project to ECR would
not preclude access to the agricultural parcels to the west via the dirt road
called La Costa Boulevard. There is also a driveway that connects the retail
flower shop/greenhouse parking area with La Costa Boulevard. Half-street
improvements of "A" Street would directly affect access to this parking area,
therefore, access from "A" Street to this parking lot would be provided
starting directly across from the apartment project entrance (300 feet east of
the ECR intersection) with a separate driveway that travels back east along
the northern property line of the flowershop/greenhouse, parallel to "A"
Street, and eventually connecting with the parking area (see the site plan).
In addition to the parking lot access from La Costa Boulevard leading to ECR,
the flower shop/greenhouse currently has another driveway access leading
directly to ECR. This direct access located further south along ECR would
not be affected by this project.

c. This site is appropriate for a higher residential density and complies with the
General Plan location criteria for affordable housing for the following
reasons: (1) the site is in proximity to the employment opportunities -
industrial parks located directly north, and urban services -commercial
centers located 1 mile south and future community park and daycare center
located 1/3 mile west; (2) the site is adjacent to a major roadway -prime
arterial (El Camino Real), and; (3) other transportation facilities are
available (transit bus lines on ECR).
d. The multi-family residential and industrial land uses would be compatible for
the following reasons: (1) proposed residential structures are approximately
40 to 60 feet from the northern property line and 80 to 130 feet from the
closest existing industrial buildings located on the industrial lots to the north;
(2) the industrial building pads are approximately 10 to 20 feet lower in
vertical elevation than the northern property line of the project site; (3) the
project's proposed landscaping would provide a sufficient visual buffer with
a combination of trees and shrubs planted along the northern property line;
( 4) the existing slopes adjacent to the industrial lots also contain dense
stands of trees and shrubs that would provide additional screening; (5) all
industrial land uses in the Planned Industrial Zone (PM), which includes the
industrial area adjacent to this project, are subject to performance standards
(Municipal Code, Chapter 21.34.090) that control noise levels (maximum 65
Ldn at the property line), odors, vibration, facility operations, heat, glare, air
emissions, onsite storage, and industrial waste discharge; (6) to further
reduce noise sources generated from the industrial buildings the project
would be conditioned to require a six foot high solid masonry wall located
along the entire northern property line; and, (7) the property line wall would
also provide visual screening and security.
e. The project would provide adequate onsite parking that complies with the
City's Parking Ordinance and efficient circulation to serve the needs of the
residents and their guests. The project would not impact the availability of
offsite street parking.
f. Sidewalks and drainage facilities would be provided along the project's street
frontages to serve the project.
g. A pedestrian circulation system that is separated from the 24 foot wide
driveways is also provided that would allow sufficient and safe access to the
adjacent public streets.
h. The project is conditioned to provide adequate emergency access by primary
and secondary access points leading from "A" Street, the western property
line, and El Camino Real. The 24 to 32 foot wide driveways are wide
enough to accommodate emergency vehicles. The project has been reviewed
and conditioned by the Fire Department.

i. The landscaping of the manufactured slopes would ensure that the project's
grading does not result in significant visual impacts. The provision of an
earthen landscape berm with a screen wall, landscaping, and a five to fifteen
foot grade differential along ECR would visually screen the parking areas and
residential structures from the ECR scenic corridor. The project site is not
visible from major public viewpoints to the south, west or north. The
apartment buildings are setback from ECR approximately 90 to 160 feet and
comply with the setback standards of the El Camino Real Corridor
Development Standards.
4. CHAPTER 21.24 -RESIDENTIAL DENSITY-MULTIPLE ZONE:
The project complies with the development standards of the proposed RD-M Zone as
follows:
LOT SIZE 10,000 sq. ft. 21.1 acres
LOT COVERAGE 60% Max. 25%
FRONT YARD SETBACK 10-20 feet 25 feet
STREET SIDE YARD 5-10 feet 25 feet
SETBACK
SIDE YARD SETBACK 5 feet 40-60 feet
BUILDING HEIGHT 35 feet 27-35 feet
5. CHAPTER 21.95 -HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT REGUIATIONS:
The project design is in conformance with the development and design standards of the
Hillside Development Regulations and the Hillside Development Guidelines. The project
site contains several small isolated areas of 40% slope that are less than fifteen feet in
slope height and less than 4,000 sq. ft. in area. Section 21.95.090, "Exclusions", states that
these 40% slope areas must be fully identified, but may be excluded from the requirements
of the ordinance by the decision-making body.
In addition, the following findings of fact must exist prior to approval of the Hillside
Development Permit:
a. ''That hillside conditions and undevelopable areas of the project have been properly
identified."
The project site's hillside slope conditions and undevelopable areas have been
identified on the Constraints Exhibit "O" dated, September 1, 1993.
,, ZC 93-02/SDP 93-06/S.93-02/HDP 9~-08
VILLAS AT EL CAMINO REAL •
SEPTEMBER 1, 1993
PAGE 9
b. "That the development proposal and all applicable development approvals and
permits are consistent with the purpose, intent, and requirements of this chapter
and that the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts
illustrated in the hillside development guidelines manual."
c.
(1) All manufactured cut and fill slopes would be contour graded and would not
exceed a height of 30 feet.
(2) The project's grading volumes of 8,530 cubic yards/graded acre and would
fall within the "potentially acceptable range" of 8,000-10,000 cubic yds/acre.
The Planning Director and City Engineer concur that the written findings
contained on Exhibit "R", dated September 1, 1993 are adequate to justify
the proposed grading volumes.
(3) Landscaping in conformance with the City's Landscape Guidelines Manual
would be provided on all manufactured slopes to visually screen the slopes
and to reduce erosion.
( 4) The apartment buildings within the project would have varying roof lines and
sloping roofs.
(5) Structures would be setback from the top of manufactured slopes from 10 to
20 feet.
''That no development or grading will occur in those portions of the property which
are undevelopable pursuant to the provisions of Section 21.53.230 of this code."
All undevelopable areas have been identified and no development or grading would
occur in those areas.
d. ''That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside
lands."
The proposed grading would create building pads that are terraced for views and
would step down the slope. The local streets and manufactured slopes would be
curving and are aligned to follow the natural contours. The street alignments and
curving landform graded slopes would reduce visual impacts created by the grading
and help simulate the natural slope conditions.
6. CHAPTER 21.40 -SCENIC PRESERVATION OVERLAY ZONE, "EL CAMINO REAL
CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT Sf ANDARDS":
El Camino Real has been designated a scenic corridor and in compliance with the Scenic
Preservation Overlay Zone, special development standards have been created for
development along the roadway. Projects located adjacent to the roadway are required to
process a Special Use Permit and comply with all requirements of the overlay zone and the
ZC 93-02/SDP 93-06/S~93-02/HDP 9~-0·8
VILLAS AT EL CAMINO REAL •
SEPTEMBER 1, 1993
PAGE 10
El Camino Real development standards. The overlay zone and the corridor standards are
designed to supplement the underlying zone by providing additional regulations to preserve
or enhance outstanding views, flora and geology, or other unique natural attributes and
historical and cultural resources.
The proposed development would not impact the corridor for the following reasons: (1)
expansive and scenic views looking west along this section of El Camino Real do not exist
given the curve and the vertical and horizontal slope of the roadway; (2) the site contains
mostly disturbed vegetation and no cultural resource sites are present; (3) the provision
of an earthen landscape berm with a screen wall, landscaping, and a five to fifteen foot
grade differential along El Camino Real would visually screen the parking areas and
residential structures from the scenic corridor, and; ( 4) the apartment buildings are
setback from El Camino Real approximately 90 to 160 feet.
The project complies with the El Camino Real corridor standards for the Area 4 as follows:
(1) Building heights on the site would not exceed 35 feet.
(2) Grading cut slopes in the 30 foot setback along ECR do not exceed 15 feet
from original grade.
(3) The apartment buildings would be setback from the ECR at least 30 feet.
(4) The apartment buildings would not have roof equipment.
(5) The residential land use is consistent with the existing General Plan (RM).
C. MEU.O II LOCAL COASf AL PROGRAM:
The project is also located within the Coastal Zone and complies with the applicable Mello
II LCP as follows:
(1) Grading would not encroach into 25% and greater slopes that contain native
coastal vegetation.
(2) The project site contains no prime agricultural Class I or II soils, and is not
currently under agricultural cultivation nor has the site been cultivated in the
recent past. The onsite soils consist of HrC (Class IIIe-3) and LvF3 (Class
VIIIs-1). The project site is not located in the Mello II Agricultural Overlay
Zone.
(3) Development of the site would not preclude or negatively affect agricultural
development on surrounding properties. The SDG&E powerline easement
separates the site from adjacent land to the west, a non-loaded collector
street would separate the site from the greenhouses/nurseries to the south,
and ECR separates the site from the property to the east. Access from "A"

•
Street to existing La Costa Boulevard and the greenhouse parking lot to the
south would be maintained.
(4) The project would provide a retention basin in the northwest comer of the
site to control drainage and prevent erosion and siltation of any potentially
sensitive wetland areas in the drainage basin.
D. GROWill MANAGEMENT:
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 21 in the
Southwest Quadrant. The impacts on public facilities created by this project and
compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized as follows:

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM 75,680 GPD Yes
The proposed project would exceed the allowable growth management density of 116
dwelling units for the site by 228 dwelling units, (344 proposed units). The Growth
Management Ordinance, Section 21.90.045, states that no residential development permit
shall be approved in which density exceeds the growth management control point for the
applicable density range (RM -4-8 dus/acre), unless the following findings are made:
(1) ''The project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in
excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public facilities
plans will not be adversely impacted".
This project will be served by public facilities which are adequate to meet the
increased demand generated by the increased density. In general, public facilities
have been sized to accommodate the maximum development allowed under the
General Plan and Proposition E for the Southwest Quadrant. The density increase
requested for this project simply shifts density from one portion of the quadrant to
·, ZC 93-02/SDP 93-06/S.93-02iHDP 93-08

•
another and does not create an overall increase in demand beyond the projections
contained in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan. Therefore, sufficient
facilities are either already in place or will be provided concurrent with the project
to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public facility plans will not be adversely
impacted.
(2) "There have been sufficient developments approved in the guadrant at densities
below the control point to cover the units in the project above the control point so
that approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit''
The Aviara Master Plan has been approved for development of approximately 800
dwelling units less than what was projected in the adopted Zone 19 LFMP. These
units are referred to as "excess" units, and they may be utilized to grant density
increases elsewhere in the Southwest Quadrant, subject to City Council Policy No.
43. Approval of this project will make use of 228 units, leaving a balance of
approximately 572 units that would be available for density increases to other
future projects. Monitoring of the balance of excess units and density increases will
assure that the quadrant limits stated in Proposition E are never exceeded.
(3) "All necessary public facilities required by this chapter will be constructed or are
guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them created by this
development and in compliance with the adopted City standards"
As stated in finding #1, all public facilities necessary to serve this project are either
already in place or will be provided by conditions of approval placed on the project.
As shown in the table above, all facilities will remain in compliance with adopted
City standards.
E. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that the project could have a significant effect on
the environment, however, there would not be a significant effect in this case since the
mitigation measures described in the attached initial study have been added to the project.
This decision was based on findings of the Environmental Assessment Part II, a Cultural
Resources Study, a Biological Resource Impact Study, a Geotechnical Report, Traffic Study,
Noise Study, a Limited Environmental Assessment, and a site survey by staff. A
Conditional Negative Declaration was issued by the Planning Director on July 22, 1993.
The Conditional Negative Declaration was sent to the State Clearinghouse for State Public
Agency review and a letter was received from the California Department of Fish and Game.
A Department Wildlife Biologist sighted a California Gnatcatcher on the adjacent parcel to
the West during a field survey. In response to the Department's concerns the project has
been conditioned such that the applicant must consult with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service prior to issuance of a grading permit for the project.
