Principal Planner Chris De Cerbo and Assistant Planner Jessica Galloway presented the staff report. (This presentation is on file in the Office of the City Clerk). Mr. De Cerbo gave the background regarding this item. He stated that in February of 2004 the Planning Commission held a workshop with developers and city staff to discuss revisions to the City Council Policy No. 44. He further stated that in July of 2004 the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing and recommended approval of an amendment to City Council Policy No. 44, Neighborhood Architectural Design Guidelines. Ms. Galloway discussed the five major areas of proposed revision to the Policy: *:* number of different floor plans and /or different front and rear elevations depending on project size. *:* design integrity as the front of the house. e:* usable. *:* 15% single story requirement. *3 offsetting planes between the garages. Requiring that all residential projects of 2 or more units have a minimum Requiring that rear and street side elevations have the same architectural Requiring a minimum 6-foot depth for front porches so that they are more Allowing reduced second story homes as an alternative to the existing Requiring 3+ car garages that directly face the street to have minimum In response to Council, Mr. De Cerbo replied that overall affordable housing units will need to follow these guidelines, however, he noted that there are some circumstances under which the guidelines may be waived. Mayor Pro Tem Finnila asked that the letter from Guy Oliver dated August 16, 2004, be included in the public record. Mayor Pro Tem Finnila inquired as to when the proposed guidelines would be applied to ongoing projects. Mr. De Cerbo stated that standard practice is to have projects comply to only those policies and ordinances in effect at the time the application is deemed complete. He further stated that Mr. Oliver’s Coastal Development Permit is deemed complete and the city would not be applying any revised guidelines to August 17,2004 Carlsbad City Council Meeting Page 7 this project. Mr. De Cerbo explained that revised guidelines would receive a formal amended effective date. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Finnila, Mr. De Cerbo answered that developers have been required to implement these guidelines since the Planning Commission Workshop held in February 2004. In response to Council Member Packard, Ms. Galloway stated that the requirement of a 6-foot deep front porch would apply to only 50% of all proposed homes. In response to Council Member Hall, Mr. De Cerbo stated that the proposed guidelines could apply to Robertson Ranch, some infill sites and the Canterini Project. Mayor Lewis stated that he did not agree with the process leading up to the proposed guidelines. He asked that Council consider a workshop to discuss the proposed revisions of the guidelines. Scott Molloy, representing the Building Industry Association (BIA), 6336 Greenwich Drive, Suite A, San Diego, CA 92122-5922, stated his concerns. He stated that the design guidelines have been over-designed. Mr. Molloy also stated that the changes in the guidelines may increase building costs and delay projects. He requested a report in one or two years containing an analysis of how the new (proposed) guidelines are working and whether they are effective. Mr. Molloy suggested two changes. He asked that 2 floor plans and 2 different elevations be applied to 5-17 units and that 3 floor plans and 3 different elevations be applied to 18 or more units. In addition, he asked that lots that are topographically constrained, lots with unique slopes, and lots with short or narrow sizes not be held to the 6-foot porch standards. Upon inquiry from Council, Mr. Molloy responded that the BIA had not performed an analysis regarding the costs of the revised guidelines. Mr. Molloy also stated that his amendments were not in the materials before Council. ACTION: Council Members concurred that there would be value in continuing this item to a workshop. Council agreed that September 15, 2004 would be the date of the workshop. 13.AB #17,768 - PRESENTATION ON THE 2003-2004 GOAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS .
