COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Chair Anderson and Commissioner Luna shared concerns that the Crape Myrtle and Jacaranda trees will
lose their leaves during certain times of the year, create a load on the stream, a hazard on the pedestrian
sidewalk, people could slip on the droppings that end up on the ground, they are not compliant with the
El Camino Real development standards, and don't meet the standard that calls for Evergreen Trees.
Associate Engineer Brandon Miles stated Public Works worked with Planning and Parks and Recreation to
ensure the trees being removed were going to be replaced in the correct ratio. He stated that some trees
being removed are on private property and the Rancho Carlsbad Association chose which trees they
wanted out of the landscape manual. He stated he could go back to the residents and ask if they can
choose another tree.
The commission agreed to add a condition that prior to the start of construction, a revised landscape plan
shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.
ACTION:
Motion by Commission Stine, seconded by Commissioner Meenes, to adopt Resolution No. 7378, as
