Item No.
Application complete date: August 8, 2015
P.C. AGENDA OF: March 16, 2016 Project Planner: Christer Westman
Project Engineer: Tecla Levy
SUBJECT: SDP 15-20 – QUARRY CREEK PLANNING AREA P-3 – Request for a determination that
the project is within the scope of the previously certified Quarry Creek Master Plan
Environmental Impact Report (EIR 11-02) and approval of a Site Development Plan for
the development of a common recreation facility to serve Quarry Creek Planning Areas
R-3 and R-4 that includes a 2,281 square foot recreation building, swimming pool,
passive park area, and parking on 1.3 acres located north of Marron Road, south of
Adobe Springs Road, and west of El Salto Falls Street in Local Facilities Management
Zone 25.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7154 APPROVING Site
Development Plan (SDP 15-20) based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The project is a follow-up to the Quarry Creek Master Plan approved by the City Council in April 2013.
This subsequent project is proposed on 1.3 acres within the 155.4 acre Quarry Creek Master Plan
property located as depicted on the Master Plan Land Use Map (attachment 4).
Table “A” below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site
and surrounding properties.
TABLE A
Location General Plan Designation Zoning Current Land Use
Site Open Space Open Space (PA P-3) Graded/Vacant
North Open Space Open Space (PAs P-4/OS-2) Undeveloped
South Open Space Open Space (PA OS-1) Undeveloped
East R-23 RD-M (PA R-3) Graded/Vacant
West R-15 RD-M (PA R-4) Graded/Vacant
The entire Quarry Creek Master Plan property has a Zoning designation of Planned Community (PC) on
the Zoning Map. Within the master plan a variety of residential, community facilities, and open space
zoning designations are identified. The existing developments found in the general vicinity of the
master planned property are the commercially developed properties to the east in the City of Oceanside
and residentially developed properties to the south in the City of Carlsbad. The remainder of the Quarry
Creek Master Plan property is undeveloped.
Within Planning Area P-3, the 1.3 acre lot is proposed to be developed as a recreation facility that
includes a 2,281 square foot recreation building, swimming pool and surrounding pool deck, lawn area

for lawn games and passive use, and small parking lot. Development of the site will satisfy up to 75% of
the required common active recreation demand for Quarry Creek Planning Areas R-3 and R-4. The
recreation building is designed in a Craftsman architectural style with flat slate colored roof tiles, shingle
siding, exposed rafter tails, exaggerated roof eaves, wide wooden window surrounds, heavy wooden
roof braces, and stone veneer.
III. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, and standards as analyzed within the following
section of this staff report.
A. General Plan
B. Quarry Creek Master Plan (MP 10-01)
The recommendation for approval was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency with the
applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis section discusses compliance
with each of these regulations/policies using both text and tables.
A. GENERAL PLAN
The project will provide active and passive recreation opportunities for future residents of Quarry Creek
Planning Areas R-3 and R-4. The proposed recreation facility is consistent with the previously approved
Quarry Creek Master Plan that was analyzed and found to be consistent with the city’s General Plan
when adopted by the City Council in April 2013.
TABLE B
GENERAL PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES
Goal 4-G.1
Develop a balanced and integrated open space
system reflecting a variety of considerations
including recreation ensuring compatibility with
land use planning.
The recreation area is integrated into the Quarry
Creek Master Plan and has connections to passive
open space planning areas within the plan’s
boundaries.
Policy 4-P.28
Require developers of master planned
communities to provide pocket parks and
recreational facilities unique to each
development.
The recreation facility was identified in the Quarry
Creek Master plan to serve the needs of Planning
Areas R-3 and R-4.
B. QUARRY CREEK MASTER PLAN
The public use planning areas of the Quarry Creek Master Plan were not adopted with typical
development standards. There are no setback, building height, or lot coverage minimums or
maximums. Although there are no specific Special Design Criteria listed for P-3, there are general
criteria established for the entire master plan property that apply and are listed below in Table “C”.

TABLE C
Quarry Creek Master Plan: Special Design Criteria
Standard Proposed Compliance
Minimize light and noise impacts to
adjacent residences and open space.
No tall light standards are included in the
proposal. Onsite lighting will be reviewed
as part of the building plan check process.
Yes
Architecturally integrate buildings with
overall Quarry Creek Master Plan design
themes
The recreation building is designed in the
Craftsman style as described in Chapter 6
of the master plan.
Yes
Integrate solar panels into the design of
Planning Area P-3 to the extent
structurally feasible.
The design of the recreation building can
accommodate solar panels and they will be
included with its construction.
Yes
Provide bike racks. Bike racks are provided. Yes
Avoid the use of invasive plants. The concept landscape plan excludes
invasive plants.
Yes
The proposed site plan is very similar to the site plan conceptually proposed and approved in the master
plan.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Environmental Protection
Ordinance (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, staff has conducted an environmental impact
assessment to determine if the project could have any potentially significant impact on the
environment. Documents referenced for the analysis included the Certified Environmental Impact
Report for the Quarry Creek Master Plan which was certified by the Carlsbad City Council in April 2014
(EIR 11-02, State Clearinghouse #2012021039). The project is consistent with the project description of
the Environmental Impact Report and therefore within the scope identified within that CEQA document.
Master Plan level mitigation measures have been incorporated into the overall design of the Master
Plan project or have been placed as conditions of approval such that all potentially significant impacts
have been mitigated to below a level of significance.
