Homes, Inc. explained the project was not analyzed with studio and one-bedroom units based
on Rincon Homes, Inc's. previous experience with another project across the street. While

was significant for three-bedroom units in the village and were also not able to fiscally
accommodate smaller units.

standard that is geared toward addressing the unit requirement is the General Plan's density
factor. He added that studios and one-bedroom units require one parking space per unit.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Hall, City Planner Don Neu explained each unit has a
storage unit available. Principal Kevin Dunn explained further and stated the storage units are
available on each floor and showed where the proposed bicycle racks are located throughout
the property.

achieve density with studio and one-bedroom units and would like the project to be

Jan.28,2020 Carlsbad City Council Regular Meeting Page 7
In response to several of the public speaker comments, City Planner Don Neu explained staff
have been honest and did not purposely misstate any facts. He also stated for the record that
he does not believe he said there was a redline plan available. Regarding the Planning
Commission hearings, staff tried to express that because the document was still
fundamentally changing, they did not prepare a red line plan and instead provided a table and
appendices that would indicate the major policy changes. He confirmed that the most recent
workshop was a presentation review with an opportunity for comments and to answer
questions and that the department will follow up on those.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Hall, City Planner Don Neu explained the policy
regarding open space at Ponto State Beach and addressing the matter of a linear park with
the Parks & Recreation Department.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Schumacher, Deputy City Manager Gary
Barberio explained within the last five years, City Council directed staff via the General Plan's
Land-Use Element and Capital Improvement Program to pursue a feasibility study for a linear
park. This included pursuing both a long-term agreement with the State about the beach area
and complete street and park opportunities along Carlsbad Boulevard.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pro Tern Bhat-Phatel, City Planner Don Neu explained
staff could prepare and post public comments to the website. He also explained staff will
address various groups' policy concerns regarding sea level rise and other matters.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Hall, Senior Planner Jennifer Jesser explained there are
currently six local coastal plans and that staff are attempting to consolidate these into one
plan. This process will also help give the Coastal Commission more information about what is
meant by visitor commercial land-use zoning when looking at changing designations for sites
like the Strawberry Fields and the Encina Power Plant.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Schumacher, City Planner Don Neu explained
various mandates impacting the timeline for the plan, including the need for consistency with
all the land-use documents, including the General Plan, Coastal Plan, and Zoning Plan.
In response to a comment from Mayor Hall, City Planner Don Neu explained the 2015 General
Plan calls for additional planning on the Power Plant and the Strawberry Fields properties as
a specific plan effort with the community and the property owners that creates another layer
of public participation in land-use designation. He added that the Coastal Commission has
been clear that residential zoning is not a preferred land-use on the Power Plant and the
Strawberry Fields sites. Although staff have been asked many times in the past for more
visitor-commercial properties and open-space, these properties appear to still be
controversial for the community, however, there are limited priority land-use options
available.
Jan.28,2020 Carlsbad City Council Regular Meeting Page 8
In response to City Planner Don Neu's explanation, Council Member Schumacher stated there
is a special-land use option available. She also advocated for more community involvement
in land-use zoning.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Blackburn, City Planner Don Neu explained
the delays involved in deferring the Ponto, Strawberry Fields, and the Encina Power Plant
parcels from the Local Coastal Program planning process and opportunities for amendments
by more public input.
Minute Motion by Council Member Schumacher, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Bhat-Patel, to
bring back to a future agenda item, the conversation about deferring the Ponto, Strawberry
Fields, and the Encina Power Plant parcels from the Local Coastal Program planning process
