X X WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Planning Director Donald Agatep read an addition-to page 16 of the La Costa Master Plan Text. It reads as follows: "Recreation Commercial: The Master Plan proposes expansion of, the Hotel/Spa and Tennis Club area in the area bounded by El Camino.Rea1, the exist- ing Shopping Plaza, the Golf Course and Costa Del Mar Road. Use of this area may include additional tennis facilities, horse stables and.similar commercial/re- creational uses. Because this area will be integrated with surrounding recreation facilities and is located in the floodplain, a site development plan for this area will be submitted to the City for approval prior to development." ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None PUBLIC HEARINGS .-,I .. CASE NO. MP-l49(A), LA COSTA MASTER PLAN, .LA COSTA LAND COMPANY - Request for approval of a Master Plan for various land uses on 4026 acres in southeast Carl sbad. Planning Director Donald Agatep gave. a bri.ef history of La Costa development since 1965 and stated that. .' the Master Plan document under consideration consti-. tuted an amendment to and expansion of. the La Costa Master Plan first adopted by the Carlsbad City Council. on September 5, 1972 (Ordinance 9322). He also advised the Commission that .the exhibits which would be sh'own and discussed reflect,the total La Costa community, but that the policies and programs adopted in. the text given to the Commission were applicable only t.0 those - l.ands zoned Planned Community .(4026 acres). ,Included in this Master Plan Amendment are lands not previously a part of the La Costa Master Plan - these lands ar.e El Camino Glen's' (436 acres), La Costa Northeast (182 acres) and Bressi Ranch (717 acres). Approval. of this Master Plan Amendment would replace the approved Master Plan on the latter property. Also included are two Planned Community areas with approved subdivi- sion maps: Vale and Estates North. Mr. Agatep'then gave a brief outline of the contents of the Master Plan text which included Conceptual Communities, Design .Concepts and Programs, Land Use, Geologic and Seismic Safety, Noise; Circulation; Parks and Open Space; and Public Facilities. Mr. Agatep also pointed out that at the City Council . meeting on May 18, 1976, staff was instructed to prepare the necessary documents to introduce the.new Planned Community (P-C) Ordinance. In the st.aff's evaluation of the P-C Ordinance as it relates to the La. Costa Master Plan there appears to be.. one major difference. That difference is the P-C requirement . for full evaluation of the impact of the Master Plan's .. .. -. .. . L. CITY OF CARLjBAD MEETING OF:. PLANNING COMMISSION DATE : May 19, 1976 TIME: 7:30 P.M. PLACE: , COUNCIL CHAMBERS Paae public facility requirements on th.e City's ability to provide such facilities. The public facilities issue and it relationship to the City's Capital Improvement Program has not been fully evaluated by' the 'staff. Th City of Carlsbad currently has a Public Facilities Element that says that pub1 ic facilities will be pro- vided concurrent with need (including schools). Mr. Agatep pointed out that the new public facilities -re- quirement will require considerable staff work in de- velping a framework and methodology for making evalua- tions, even before the La Costa Master Plan could be so evaluated. He therefore suggested that a future evaluation of the Mas'ter Plan for public facility im- pacts be made a condition of whatever action the Commission took. There was then discussion between staff and the Com- mission re the Parks Agreement, Rancheros, annual s'tatus report and three year review and neighborhood commercial activity areas. Mr. Fred Morey, Vice President, La Costa Land Company said that Jack Bevash of Jack Bevash Associates of . Los Angeles, Bob Ladwig of Rick Engineering and John Stanley, Attorney, were present to answer any question the Commission or anyone might wish to ask. He felt that the staff had presented remarkably.wel1 a very complex report. He said that staff and the La Costa' Land Company had been working on this Master Plan Amendment for about 1% years and that there was still a great deal of refining to. do in-the future with regard to the parks agreement, etc. He also said that the.area which would contain the Rancheros would be on about 300 acres (each Ranchero. would contain 1-4 acres). He also dis-cussed one area of the Master Plan area which will be used for lower . c0s.t housing, i.e., cluster or modular housing.' Mr. Morey also di'scussed the three five year phases and he felt that total occupancy would not occur for about thirty years and he also felt that the proje'cted population would not reach 62,000. Mrs. Johnson, a resident of the Meadowlark area, ad.ja- cent to La Cos'ta, asked Mr. Morey w.here Alga Road would ultimately terminate. Mr. Morey replied that th would stop Alga Road at Melrose. Peggy Rutherford of San Marcos, involved'wi th the Meadowlark Community Church, wanted to know the . proposed completion date for Melrose. Tim Flanagan, Ci Engineer, responded that it would be quite some.t'ime before Melrose is completed and that the three parcels land that the church owns would not be affected.by either Alga Road or Melrose. 9:00 P.M. - Recess. x x X'X x xxxxx xxxxx * CITY OF CARLjBAD MEETING OF: PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: May 19, 1976 TIME: 7:30 P.M. PLACE: COUNCIL CHAMBERS .. "" 3 u " 9:20 P.M. - The meeting reconvened with all members present who were in attendance pr.ior to recess. There was discussion about the projections in the Master Plan document and Mr. Agatep advised the Com- mission that in order to make projections, the high end of a density range must be used, making the projec- tions high in this instance. Mr. Agatep'also advised the Commission that they had two alternatives in acting on the Master Plan Amend- ment. (1) If the Commission wished to look at the r.elationship between the new P-C zone requirements and the Master Plan Amendment, it could return the pat- ter to staff. This would require additional time 'for staff anal.ysis. (2) The Planning Commis'sion could recommend to the City Council approval of Mp-l49(A) subject to the condition that the new P-C requirements be met prior to the time additional development occurs, The Commission discussed the two options, and the need .for an additional finding to be added, regarding. an annual status report and three year review. of the Master Plan. A motion was made recommending approval of MP-l49(A) based on the findings and conditions in 'the staff re- port with the addition of the following'finding: "(4) The proposed Master Plan Amendment is not a static document and will be reviewed and amended during the life of the Master Plan to ensure that development of the La Costa Community occurs in conformance with the City's policies, ordinances and good planning prac- tices because: (a) . The Master Plan document, includes provisions for an annual information status report on the progress of the Master Plan's programs and a .formal review of the document every three years."
