II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The project proposes to develop a multi-family apartment community on a 9.2-acre lot that is currently
bisected by Aviara Parkway. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing lot into five lots with three
open space lots and a “West Parcel” and “East Parcel” containing 329 apartments of various sizes.
The West Parcel currently supports an active flower and produce packaging and wholesale operation,
which includes a 38,000-square-foot warehouse. All existing structures would be demolished. The West
Parcel is bordered on the east, south, and west sides by existing slopes. Elevations on the West Parcel
range from approximately 82 feet to 144 feet above mean sea level. Development would include an
approximately 477,000-square-foot residential structure with 259 dwelling units, including an
incorporated parking structure. The four-story structure is a maximum of 60 feet in height above final
grade and would be built in a “wrap” configuration that shields the parking from view of public roads. The
West Parcel would contain 247 market-rate and 12 affordable rental units. The proposed project includes
184 one-bedroom and 75 two-bedroom units on the West Parcel. Twelve of the one-bedroom units will
be set aside for residents with incomes that do not exceed 90 % of the area median income (AMI) which

is moderate-income affordable housing. The one-bedroom units range from 711 to 785 square feet with
the two-bedroom units at 1,009 to 1,135 square feet. Access to the West Parcel is provided at a driveway
at the existing signalized intersection of Aviara Parkway and Laurel Tree Lane. A proposed “right-in” only
driveway would also provide access to the site further north on Aviara Parkway. Grading on the West
Parcel includes 736 cubic yards (c.y.) of cut, 42,178 c.y. of fill, with 44,312 c.y. of import. A grading permit
will be required for this portion of the development.
The East Parcel is currently undeveloped vacant land with existing native and non-native vegetation, but
the site has previously been graded. Elevations on the East Parcel range between 94 and 111 feet above
mean sea level and the site slopes to the northwest at a gentle gradient. The East Parcel would contain
69 affordable rental units, plus one manager’s unit, in an approximately 83,123-square-foot structure.
Parking on the East Parcel would be provided at ground level in individual garages and a surface lot. The
four-story building on the East Parcel is a maximum of 57 feet in height above final grade. The proposed
project includes 14 studios, 23 one-bedroom, 26 two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom units on the
East Parcel. Seven units of the 70 units would be set aside as “extremely low-income” units for residents
with incomes that do not exceed 30 % of the AMI, 62 units would be reserved as “low-income” units for
residents with incomes that do not exceed 60 % of the AMI, and one unit would be the manager’s unit
that is not designated as an affordable unit. Studio units are approximately 450 square feet with one-
bedroom units approximately 600 square feet. Two-bedroom units range from 702 to 860 square feet.
Three-bedroom units range from 986 to 1,048 square feet. Access to the East Parcel would be provided
by a driveway from Laurel Tree Lane. An emergency access driveway is located off Aviara Parkway. Grading
on the East Parcel includes 856 cubic yards (c.y.) of cut, 7,767 c.y. of fill, with 110,357 c.y. of import. A
grading permit will be required for this portion of the development.
The proposed project provides 37,570 sf of resident amenities. Indoor amenities at the West Parcel would
include a multi-purpose/club room, a fitness facility, and a Wi-Fi café. Common open space features on
the West Parcel would include an outdoor recreation area and pool courtyard, an outdoor lounge area,
two passive courtyards, an arrival yard, entry plaza, and the West Yard. The West Parcel would also include
an onsite leasing office. Indoor amenities at the East Parcel would include a multi-purpose/club room.
Common open space features on the East Parcel would include an outdoor recreation area, arrival yard
and entry plaza.
Surrounding land uses primarily consist of commercial and residential uses and designated open space.
To the north of the project site is a 50-foot riparian buffer designated as open space and Encinas Creek,
which maintains a Hardline Preserve designation under the city’s Habitat Management Plan. Beyond the
open space to the north are commercial developments and associated parking adjacent to Palomar
Airport Road. To the east of the project site is an existing gym and an undeveloped hillside. To the south
of the West Parcel is an undeveloped hillside and residential uses located on the top of the hillside. To the
south of the East Parcel is Laurel Tree Lane and multi-family residential developments. To the west of the
project site are undeveloped hillsides designated as open space with single-family residences on top of
the undeveloped hillside.
The architecture of the West Parcel development is inspired by the Spanish Colonial Revival style, which
is prominent in Carlsbad and also popular among other coastal California neighborhoods having a
Mediterranean climate and setting. The architecture features hip roofs with concrete ‘S’ tiles, punctuated
with tower elements to emphasize a sense of arrival, exposed rafter tails along the projecting eave
overhangs, stucco walls with deep recesses, arches adorned with hand-painted ceramic tiles, trellis
structures shading top floor balconies, wrought iron railings, and decorative corbels. The primarily cream-

colored palette lends emphasis and contrast to the darker decorative features. Residents will descend
from the higher Aviara Parkway to arrive at an entry court surrounded by landscaped gardens and amenity
spaces. The 259 dwelling units are carefully arranged in four stories to create inviting courtyards and
outdoor spaces while concealing all parking within a five-level structure. Solar arrays are oriented on the
roof to capture the sun and shade the upper level parking.
The East Parcel development is a contemporary Spanish-style rental community inspired by California’s
early heritage of adobe structures, as well as the modern movement brought on by Irving Gill and his
predecessors. The architecture features a combination of sloped roofs with tight rakes and flat roofs with
parapets, bay windows and metal canopies to highlight the main building entrance, stucco walls accented
with siding, a chiseled limestone veneer at the base, concrete ‘S’ tile roofing, trellis structures over top
floor balconies, metal railings, decorative corbels, and a color palette of neutral shades of tan and brown.
The combination of cascading roofs provides a platform for sustainable features, such as solar sun
shading. The development on the East Parcel embraces Carlsbad’s climate by incorporating an open-air
atrium and courtyard, which welcome daylighting and breezes to filter through. The proposed four-story,
v-shaped compact structure upholds the human scale of a lower-density development, which is most
apparent at the intersection of Aviara Parkway and Laurel Tree Lane where the building sits an entire story
below the adjacent street grades.

J. Growth Management Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.90) and Zone 5 Local Facilities Management
Plan.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency
with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of the above regulations
is discussed in detail in the sections below.
A. R-30 Residential General Plan Land Use Designation
The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R-30 Residential, which allows residential
development at a density range of 23-30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management
Control Point (GMCP) of 25 du/ac. The project site has a net developable acreage of 8.2 acres. At the
GMCP, 205 dwelling units would be permitted on this 8.2-net-developable-acre property. With the city’s
last General Plan update, 224 dwelling units were allocated to the project site. Therefore, the proposed
329-unit apartment project will be withdrawing 105 units from the city’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank
because it exceeds the number of dwelling units allocated to the site. Additional information on density
and compliance with Growth Management is provided in Section “J” below.
The 329-unit project results in a density of 40 du/ac which exceeds the maximum 30 du/ac of the R-30
Residential General Plan Land Use Designation. However, Program 2.2 of the Housing Element states,
“Flexibility in Development Standards of the General Plan describes how the Planning Division may
recommend waiving or modifying certain development standards to encourage the development of low-
income housing.” The city offers offsets to assist in the development of affordable housing which may
include density increases and standards modifications. Since the project is providing affordable housing
above and beyond the city’s requirements, a density increase and standards modifications are supported
for this project by the city’s Housing Policy Team. Further compliance with the General Plan is outlined in
Table “B” below.

Noise Goal 5-G.2
Ensure that new development is
compatible with the noise
environment, by continuing to
use potential noise exposure as
a criterion in land use planning.
Policy 5.P.2
Require a noise study analysis
be conducted for all
discretionary development
proposals located where
projected noise exposure would
be other than “normally
acceptable.”
The project consists of 329 apartments
located in two buildings. A noise study by
Charles M. Salter Associates Inc., dated
March 21, 2019, was provided. The
windows of each residential unit will need
to be closed to meet a 45 dB(a) CNEL
interior noise level. Therefore, mechanical
ventilation is required. In addition, the
project is conditioned to comply with the
construction requirements of the
aforementioned noise study which includes
a minimum STC rating ranging from 28-36
for all exterior windows and doors as
shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3 of the study
(see Appendix I.1 of the EIR).
Yes
Housing Goal 10-G.3
Sufficient new, affordable
housing opportunities in all
quadrants of the city to meet
the needs of current lower and
moderate income households
and those with special needs,
and a fair share proportion of
future lower and moderate
income households.
Policy 10-P.19
Adhere to City Council Policy
Statement 43 when considering
allocation of “excess dwelling
units” for the purpose of
allowing development to exceed
the Growth Management
Control Point (GMCP) density,
as discussed in Section 10.3
(Resources Available). With
limited exception, the allocation
of excess dwelling units will
require provision of housing
affordable to lower income
households.
The proposed project will provide 81
affordable housing units with income
restrictions at extremely low-, low-, and
moderate-income levels. Therefore, the
proposed project helps achieve the city’s
affordable housing goals as set forth in the
Housing Element of the General Plan
including progress toward meeting the
city’s RHNA.
The 329-unit project will provide 25% of
the housing units available to extremely
low-, low- and moderate-income
households in addition to market-rate
units. Furthermore, the project site is
located in an area that is in close proximity
to public transit and employment
opportunities. Existing North County
Transit District (NCTD) bus stops serving
NCTD routes 444 and 445 are located on
Palomar Airport Road approximately 0.25
miles from the project site.

As part of the proposed Site Development Plan (SDP), the project applicant is requesting the application
of modified development standards, or standards modifications, for multi-family affordable housing
projects pursuant to allowances in CMC Section 21.53.120. Per Planning Commission Resolution No. 7114,
the project site has an allocation of 224 units from the city’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank and would be
required to provide a minimum of 20% of all units as affordable units, which exceeds the standard 15%
requirement of CMC Chapter 21.85. The proposed project would provide 25% affordable units. CMC
Section 21.53.120 allows for a density increase and development standards modifications for affordable
housing projects that provide affordable housing in excess of the requirements of CMC Chapter 21.85 with
the approval of a SDP, subject to certain findings. The proposed project would construct 329 units, which
is 105 units beyond the maximum density and the city’s General Plan allocation for the project site. As
such, the project applicant’s requested density increase would require an allocation of 105 “excess”

dwelling units from the city’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. Pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.53.120(B)(1) and
the applicant's request for a SDP approval, the proposed project seeks less restrictive development
standards than would otherwise be applicable within the RD-M zone and within the R-30 General Plan
land use designation.
Specifically, per Section 21.24.030 of the CMC, the maximum building height within the RD-M zone is 35
feet, and the maximum allowable density at the project site per the city’s General Plan R-30 designation
is 23 to 30 dwelling units per acre. To accommodate the additional proposed dwelling units, the density
of the proposed project would increase to 40 dwelling units per acre and the building heights would
increase to approximately 50 feet, with some architectural features reaching approximately 60 feet.
Additional modifications to the standard development regulations are also requested to accommodate
the proposed residential density as described below (as permitted by the SDP process contained in CMC
Section 21.53.120(B)(1)):
• Increase residential density from 23–30 dwelling units per acre as permitted in the R-30 General Plan
land use designation to 40 dwelling units per acre.
• Increase residential building heights from the 35-foot height maximum as required per the RD-M
zoning designation to a 50-foot height maximum with architectural protrusions up to approximately
60 feet.
• Reduce side yard setback requirements contained in CMC Section 21.24 from 5 feet to 3.5 feet to the
carports on the East Parcel’s north side.
• Reduce the parking requirements found in CMC Section 21.44.020 from 631 spaces required to 533
spaces.
• Request a 3.63-foot reduction in parking lot perimeter landscape border width from 8 feet minimum
contained in the city’s Landscape Manual to the proposed 4.37 feet minimum on the south side of the
East Parcel.
• Request a 5.5-foot reduction in parking lot perimeter landscape border width from 8 feet minimum
contained in the city’s Landscape Manual to the proposed 2.5 feet minimum on the north side of the
East Parcel.
• Request a standards modification from CMC Section 21.46.130 to allow walls and fences to exceed
the 6-foot maximum height within the required side and rear yard setback areas.
CMC Section 21.53.120 allows for approval of the standards modifications provided findings can be made
that the project is in conformity with the general plan and adopted policies and goals of the city, it would
have no detrimental effect on public health, safety and welfare, and for projects in the Coastal Zone, it is
consistent with local coastal program provisions, except for density. The project meets all of the required
findings as detailed in Planning Commission Resolution No. 7399. With approval of the requested
standards modifications, the project complies with the requirements of the RD-M Zone and the Site
Development Plan regulations.

C. Coastal Development Regulations for the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (CMC
21.201) and the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC 21.203)
1. Mello II Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies
The proposed site is in the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and is within the
appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The project site has an LCP Land Use
designation of R-30 Residential and Zoning of RD-M, which are consistent with the city’s General
Plan and Zoning. The project’s consistency with the R-30 General Plan Land Use designation is
analyzed in Section A, Table “B” above.
The project consists of the demolition of an agriculture warehouse and the construction of 329
apartments located in two buildings. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding
development of residential and non-residential structures. The four-story structures will not
obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise
damage the visual beauty of the Coastal Zone. The property is not subject to the agricultural
mitigation program. No agricultural uses currently exist on the previously graded site, nor will the
project impact any sensitive resources located on-site. The proposed project is not located in an
area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. Since the site does not have frontage along the
coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site.
Furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation
activities.
2. Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
The development is subject to the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (CMC Chapter
21.203). The Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone identifies areas of protection: a)
preservation of steep slopes and vegetation; b) drainage, erosion, sedimentation, habitat; c)
seismic hazards, landslides and slope instability; and d) floodplain development. The project’s
compliance with each of these areas of concern is discussed below:
a. Preservation of Steep Slopes and Vegetation. Slopes greater than 25% and possessing
endangered plant/animal species and/or coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant communities
are considered “dual criteria” slopes and are protected in the Coastal Zone. The project does
not propose development of any “dual criteria” slopes.
b. Drainage, Erosion, Sedimentation, Habitat. Topographic and vegetation mapping and analysis
were prepared as part of the project. Riparian boundaries were identified, and a 50-foot
buffer area has been provided between the riparian area and the edge of development to
buffer sensitive habitat areas from intrusion. Impacts to habitat are minor compared to the
proposed preservation and restoration, and will be fully mitigated as described in Section F
below. A habitat restoration plan and a preserve management plan are proposed with this
project and the project is consistent with the city’s adopted Habitat Management Plan. The
project will adhere to the city’s Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water
Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to
avoid increased urban run-off, pollutants and soil erosion.

c. Seismic Hazards, Landslides and Slope Instability. The Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation
(GeoSoils, Inc, July 7, 2016), identifies that ground surface rupture as a result of an earthquake
or seismic event is not likely to occur at the site. Geomorphic expressions indicative of past
significant mass wasting events (i.e., scarps and hummocky terrain) were not observed during
field studies. Further, no adverse geologic structures were encountered during subsurface
exploration nor during the review of regional geologic maps. The report concludes, from a
geologic and soils engineering point of view, that the site is suitable for the proposed
development. By following the recommendations contained within the referenced report,
the site is suitable for the proposed project, and will not expose people or structures to
geotechnical-related hazards.
d. Flood Plain Development. No structures or fill are being proposed within a one-hundred-year
floodplain area as identified by the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
D. Parking (CMC Chapter 21.44)
The parking requirements for the proposed 329-unit apartment project are shown in Table “D” below.
Through the Site Development Plan process, the applicant is requesting a modified development standard
for the proposed apartment project to reduce the amount of required parking from 631 spaces to 533
spaces. The proposed standard modification allows for the applicant to maximize the percentage and
quantity of affordable housing units provided on-site.
Although a density bonus is not being requested, the parking ratios for housing developments identified
in CMC Section 21.86.090, Table E of the Density Bonus ordinance require less parking (437 spaces) than
the developer is proposing for this apartment project. The density bonus parking requirements are shown
in Table “E” below. The project would qualify for a density bonus if it were to be requested by the
developer. Table “F” summarizes the parking proposed for the project. A standards modification for
reduced parking is supported by the city’s Housing Policy Team and findings are included in Planning
Commission Resolution No. 7399.

E. Hillside Development Regulations (CMC Chapter 21.95)
The overall project site exhibits a change in grade elevation greater than 15 feet and slopes greater than
15%, and therefore requires a Hillside Development Permit. In addition, development on natural slopes
of 25% or greater within the Coastal Zone needs to meet additional requirements. Hillside conditions of
the project have been properly identified on the constraints map, which shows existing and proposed
conditions and slope percentages. The project complies with the various hillside development standards
as discussed below.
Development of Natural Slopes of 25% Gradient in the Coastal Zone (CMC Section 21.95.140(A))
Slopes of 25% grade and over shall be preserved in their natural state, unless the application of this policy
would preclude any reasonable use of the property, in which case an encroachment not to exceed 10% of
the steep slope area over 25% grade may be permitted. A portion of the project site has slopes over 25%
at the southwest corner. Although no building is proposed on these slopes, a retaining wall under six feet
in height is proposed at the base of this slope to allow for access around the building. Additional
landscaping has been provided in this area to minimize visual impacts and to incorporate fuel modification
zones. The project has been designed to accommodate the required riparian buffer from Encinas Creek
CT 2018-0002/SDP 2018-0002/CDP 2018-0005/HDP 2018-0001/HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001
(DEV2017-0033) – AVIARA APARTMENTS
December 16, 2020
Page 12
which requires the encroachment into the slope of less than 10%. Therefore, the project is permitted to
develop this slope as proposed.
Development of Natural Slopes of 40 % Gradient (CMC Section 21.95.140(B))
Development shall not occur on natural slopes which exhibit all of the following characteristics:
• A gradient of greater than 40%; and
• An elevation differential of greater than 15 feet; and
• A minimum area of 10,000 square feet; and
• The slope comprises a prominent land form feature.
No development is proposed on a slope that has a minimum of 10,000 square feet in area, over 40%
gradient and has an elevation differential of greater than 15 feet. Some areas of 40% slope on-site are
either smaller than 10,000 square feet or have an elevation differential of less than 15 feet. Therefore,
the 40% slopes are permitted to be developed. Therefore, the slopes may be developed as proposed.
Grading Volume (CMC Section 21.95.140(D)
The intent of the hillside grading volume standards is to minimize the volume of earth moved for cut and
fill on a site. The amount of grading proposed is necessary to remove undocumented fill material and
potentially compressible soils that are unsuitable for supporting the project. Additionally, the pads are
being raised so that building foundations and underground utilities are less susceptible to expansive soils.
This also avoid conflicts with perched groundwater conditions and improves sewage flow rates by
increasing the fall of the sewer lines. The proposed grading volume of 5,601 cubic yards per acre (cy/ac)
falls within the acceptable level because it is less than 8,000 cy/ac. Furthermore, the project minimizes
development into the existing slopes and existing disturbed areas will be planted with native species
consistent with the Habitat Management Plan. Therefore, the project is compliant with the grading
volumes allowed by the Hillside Development Regulations.
F. Habitat Management Plan (CMC 21.210)
The Habitat Management Plan (HMP) is a comprehensive, citywide program to identify how the City, in
cooperation with the federal and state wildlife agencies, can preserve the diversity of habitat and protect
sensitive biological resources while allowing for additional development consistent with the General Plan
and the Growth Management Plan. In doing so, the HMP is intended to lead to citywide permits and
authorization for the incidental take of sensitive species in conjunction with private development projects,
public projects, and other activities, which are consistent with the HMP. In addition, Chapter 21.210 of
the city’s Zoning Ordinance (Habitat Preservation and Management Requirements) implements the HMP,
as well as the goals and objectives of the city’s Open Space Element of the General Plan. As discussed in
the attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 7399, the project does not conflict with any provisions
of the HMP or Zoning Ordinance.
In the context of the adopted HMP, the project site is located within Local Facilities Management Zone
(LFMZ) 5, with existing HMP Hardline Preserve designations overlaying the Encinas Creek Corridor off-site
to the immediate north, and slope areas off-site to the immediate west. The project site is located outside
of the HMP Focus Planning Area (i.e., Cores, Linkages, and Special Resource Areas), and is therefore not
within a Proposed Hardline or Standards Area. Due to the project site’s location outside of a Standards
CT 2018-0002/SDP 2018-0002/CDP 2018-0005/HDP 2018-0001/HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001
(DEV2017-0033) – AVIARA APARTMENTS
December 16, 2020
Page 13
Area, the project would not be subject to the Local Facilities Management Zone Standards contained in
the HMP. The site is also located within the coastal zone, as identified in the certified Carlsbad Local
Coastal Program (LCP).
The proposed project maintains conformance with HMP standards including limits on residential
development, provisions for habitat connectivity and wildlife movement through the area, avoidance of
impacts to wetlands, and implementation of minimum buffer widths. Additionally, the proposed project
also incorporates required mitigation from the HMP for significant impacts to sensitive biological
resources identified in the preceding sections (on-site habitat conservation, habitat restoration, long-term
management, and compliance monitoring and bird breeding season restrictions during construction).
A Biological Resources Letter Report, Preserve Management Plan, and Restoration Plan were prepared for
the mitigation by Helix Environmental Planning. Implementation of the proposed project results in the
following impacts:
Habitat Group D:
Unoccupied Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub, 0.1 acres
Habitat Group E:
Non-native Grassland, 0.3 acres
Habitat Group F:
Non-native Vegetation, 0.8 acres
Disturbed Habitat, 3.2 acres
Total: 4.0 acres
Impacts to Habitat Group E, 0.15 acres of Non-native Grassland, will be mitigated at a 0.5:1 ratio through
the payment of an in-lieu fee. Impacts to Habitat Group F, totaling 0.42 acres, will also be mitigated
through the payment of an in-lieu fee at a ratio of 0.1:1.
The project design has avoided and minimized impacts to wildlife habitat and species of concern to the
maximum extent practicable. Specifically, only 0.1 acres of HMP Habitat Groups A-D will be impacted by
the development. Furthermore, approximately 1.6 acres of the site will be designated as an open space
preserve. Additionally, all 0.24 acres of Southern Willow Scrub (Habitat Group A) located on-site will be
protected and approximately 1.1 acres of unoccupied Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (DCSS, Habitat Group D)
will be created or restored in areas that are disturbed and characterized by non-native habitat types in
the pre-restoration condition. The created habitat will adjoin neighboring stands of existing DCSS that are
either off site and/or already located within HMP Hardline.
The HMP findings for the proposed project can be found within Planning Commission Resolution No. 7399.
As discussed within the Environmental Impact Report (EIR 2018-0001), with the incorporation of
mitigation measures and compliance with the HMP, the Habitat Management Plan Permit can be
approved.
G. Subdivision Ordinance (CMC Title 20)
CT 2018-0002/SDP 2018-0002/CDP 2018-0005/HDP 2018-0001/HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001
(DEV2017-0033) – AVIARA APARTMENTS
December 16, 2020
Page 14
The Land Development Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed Tentative Tract Map and has
found that the subdivision complies with all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the
city’s Subdivision Ordinance (Title 20) for Major Subdivisions. The subdivision is considered major because
it involves the division of land into five or more lots (five lots proposed). The project has been conditioned
to install all infrastructure-related improvements and the necessary easements for these improvements
concurrent with the development.
H. Inclusionary Housing (CMC 21.85)
Planning Commission Resolution No. 7114 requires that development on this site provide a minimum of
20 % of all units as affordable units, which exceeds the standard 15% requirement of CMC Chapter 21.85.
On the West Parcel, twelve of the one-bedroom units would be set aside for residents with incomes that
do not exceed 90 % of the area median income (AMI), which is moderate-income housing. On the East
Parcel. seven units would be set aside as “extremely low-income” units for residents with incomes that
do not exceed 30 % of the AMI, and 62 units would be reserved as “low-income” units for residents with
incomes that do not exceed 60 % of the AMI. One additional unit would be the manager’s unit and would
not be designated as affordable. The proposed project provides 25% of the total units or 81 units as
affordable units which exceeds the 20 % minimum required by Planning Commission Resolution 7114.
Further, because 10 or more affordable units are required, at least 10% of the lower income units shall
have three (3) or more bedrooms. The project satisfies this requirement with the inclusion of seven,
three-bedroom inclusionary units. The city’s Housing Policy Team has reviewed the proposed project and
recommends approval of the proposal. The project has been conditioned to require the approval of an
Affordable Housing Agreement prior to recordation of the final map.
I. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP)
The project site is located within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) Review Area 1 of the McClellan-Palomar
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), requiring the project to be consistent with four criteria
contained in ALUCP Section 2.4.1. Each criterion involves specific standards to avoid potentially harmful
development within the AIA. Each of the four criteria are addressed separately for the construction and
operation of an apartment project in the Residential Density – Multiple (RD-M) zone. The project is
consistent with the criteria of the ALUCP, as discussed below:
1. Noise: Exposure to aircraft noise.
The airport noise contours are established for the purpose of evaluating the noise compatibility of
land use actions in the AIA. Section 3.3.3.(a) of the ALUCP states “the threshold for evaluation is the
projected 60dB CNEL contour. This contour defines the noise impact area of the airport. As depicted
in Exhibit III-1 of the ALUCP, the proposed project site is located within the 60dB CNEL noise exposure
range. Multi-family residential is compatible within the 60dB noise contour if interior noise can be
mitigated to 45 dB or less. The project has been conditioned to meet a 45 dB interior noise level by
implementing the measures described in the noise study by Charles M. Salter Associates Inc., dated
March 21, 2019. Therefore, the project is consistent with the airport noise restrictions of the ALUCP.
2. Safety: Land use that affects safety both for people on the ground and in aircraft.
As described in Section 3.4 of the ALUCP, the purpose of the safety compatibility policies is to minimize
risks to people and property in the event of an aircraft accident by setting limits on the proposed land
CT 2018-0002/SDP 2018-0002/CDP 2018-0005/HDP 2018-0001/HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001
(DEV2017-0033) – AVIARA APARTMENTS
December 16, 2020
Page 15
uses. The safety zones depicted in Exhibit III-2 of the ALUCP divide the airport vicinity into six safety
zones, each representing relative risks associated with an aircraft accident.
As shown in Exhibit III-2, the proposed project site is located within Safety Zone 6 (Traffic Pattern
Zone). Per ALUCP Policy 3.4.4.(e) and Table III-2, new residential development in Safety Zone 6 is
determined to be a compatible land use. Therefore, no safety restrictions apply to the proposed
project.
3. Airspace protection: Protection of airport airspace.
Per Policy 2.4.2(C) of the ALUCP, the purpose of airspace protection compatibility policies is to ensure
that structures and other uses do not cause hazards to aircraft in flight within the airport vicinity.
Hazards to flight include but are not limited to: physical obstructions to the navigable airspace, wildlife
hazards such as bird strikes, and land use characteristics that create visual or electronic interference
with aircraft navigation or communication.
Exhibit III-3 of the ALUCP reflects the airspace surfaces for McClellan-Palomar Airport as established
by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Safe
Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace. FAR Part 77 establishes standards and
notification requirements for objects affecting navigable airspace. The ALUCP airspace policies are
intended to help implement regulations between the FAA and the state of California (ALUCP Policy
3.5.2).
ALUCP Policy 3.5.4(a) indicates that with limited exceptions, no object shall have a height that would
result in the penetration of the airspace protections surfaces for McClellan-Palomar Airport. As
depicted in Exhibit III-3, the proposed project site underlies the horizontal surface which is a flat
surface established 150 feet above the established airport elevation. Based on the airport’s elevation
of 331 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), the horizontal surface height is 481 feet AMSL. The
approximate elevations of the project site range from 82-144 feet AMSL. The building pad for the
West Parcel is 89.0 feet AMSL. The tallest elevation of the structures on the West Parcel is 60 feet tall,
bringing the project to an elevation of approximately 149 feet AMSL, a difference of about 332 feet
and well below the 481-foot horizontal surface. The building pad for the East Parcel is 98.1 feet AMSL.
The tallest elevation of the project’s structures is 57 feet tall, bringing the project to an elevation of
approximately 155.1 feet AMSL, a difference of about 325.9 feet and well below the 481-foot
horizontal surface. Therefore, the proposed project would not penetrate the airspace protection
surface for the airport, and is in compliance with the Airspace Protection criteria. Furthermore, to
thoroughly analyze the project, a FAA Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration was
submitted and the FAA determined the project posed no hazard to airspace navigation.
4. Overflight – Annoyance and other general concerns related to aircraft overflight.
As previously discussed, the project site is located within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) per Exhibit
IIII-5. According to ALUCP Policy 3.6.3, recordation of an overflight notification is mandated for new
residential land use development. The project is conditioned to record an overflight notification
document on the property.

J. Growth Management (CMC 21.90)
The Growth Management Chapter of the city’s Zoning Ordinance is intended to ensure that development
is consistent with the General Plan and that adequate public facilities are provided concurrent with growth
within the city. Pursuant to the city’s Growth Management Program (GMP) and Chapter 21.90 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, the city is organized into 25 zones; the project is located in Zone 5. The city’s
GMP requires the preparation of Local Facilities Management Plans (LFMPs) for each of the 25
management zones. The LFMPs implement the provisions of the city’s GMP by phasing all development
and public facility needs in accordance with the GMP performance standards. A Local Facilities
Management Plan (LFMP) has been previously prepared for Zone 5 pursuant to the requirements of the
Growth Management Ordinance, Chapter 21.90 of the Municipal Code. The project will be in compliance
with the required performance standards by satisfying the conditions listed in the LFMP, so no other
revisions to the LFMP for Zone 5 are required.
The facility demands of the build out of Local Facilities Management Zone 5 were based on a projection
of future development within the zone. Table “G” below summarizes the anticipated development within
Zone 5 compared to the proposed project.

The project proposes 329 dwelling units. At the GMCP, 205 dwelling units would be permitted on this 8.2-
net-developable-acre property. With the city’s last General Plan update, 224 dwelling units were allocated
to the project site per Planning Commission Resolution 7114. Therefore, the proposed 329-unit apartment
project will be withdrawing 105 units from the city’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank because it exceeds the
number of dwelling units allocated to the site. As stated in Planning Commission Resolution No. 7399, per
the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report dated November 30, 2020, the Southwest Quadrant has an
additional 1,232-unit capacity to accommodate the 105 additional dwelling units not already allocated to
the site by the General Plan. Additionally, less any recent allocations, the report identifies 288 dwelling
units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank available to be allocated to the project. Therefore, the citywide and
quadrant dwelling unit limits will not be exceeded as a result of the proposed project.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the Aviara Apartments project in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines, and the Environmental Protection
Procedures (Title 19) of the CMC. The EIR addresses the environmental impacts associated with all
discretionary applications for the proposed project, including development of the project. City staff issued
a Notice of Preparation (NOP) on January 17, 2019. The NOP was distributed to all Responsible and Trustee
Agencies, as well as other agencies. Staff scheduled a public scoping meeting in order to increase
opportunities for public input. The NOP with notice of the scoping meeting was sent to all property owners
within a 600-foot radius of the project boundaries and was published in the San Diego Union Tribune. The
public scoping meeting took place on January 28, 2019, at the Faraday Center. At the scoping session, the
public was invited to comment on the scope and content of the EIR. Written comments received in
response to the NOP were taken into consideration prior to developing the detailed scope of the content
for the EIR and are summarized in and appended to the EIR.
The Aviara Apartments project EIR analyzed the following areas of potential environmental impact:
• Aesthetics
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources
• Energy
• Geology and Soils
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Noise and Vibration
• Population and Housing
• Public Services
• Transportation
• Utilities and Service Systems
• Wildfire
CT 2018-0002/SDP 2018-0002/CDP 2018-0005/HDP 2018-0001/HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001
(DEV2017-0033) – AVIARA APARTMENTS
December 16, 2020
Page 18
Following consideration of the public and agency comments submitted on the NOP and received during
the scoping meeting, it was determined that the proposed project would not result in a significant impact
on Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Mineral Resources or Recreation.
Additionally, the EIR includes other sections required by CEQA including an Executive Summary, Project
Description, Cumulative Effects, Effects Found Not to Be Significant, Growth Inducing Effects and
Alternatives. Three alternatives are considered in the EIR. The alternatives include the "No Project/No
Development" alternative, a "No Project, General Plan Allocation" alternative, and a "Density Bonus”
alternative. On June 17, 2020, a Draft EIR was released and the city published a Notice of Completion
(NOC) and mailed the NOC to interested Responsible and Trustee Agencies and other interested agencies,
surrounding owners and occupants, and the interested parties list that staff had developed based on
requests from the public during the processing of the project. The NOC commenced a 45-day public review
and comment period on the Draft EIR expiring on July 31, 2020. The NOC advised that in accordance with
Governor Newsom’s Executive Order No. N-54-20 in effect during the COVID-19 public health emergency,
the requirement to provide general public access to physical copies of CEQA notices and public review
documents had been suspended. Therefore, the Draft EIR was published on the City's website
(http://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/planning/agendas.asp). Complete hardbound and CD copies
were also available with the appendices through the Planning Division. In response to the NOC, six
comment letters and emails were submitted prior to the close of the public review period for the Draft
EIR.
Responses to all of the comment letters are contained in the Final EIR, and were sent to each commenting
individual, organization or agency. The response transmittal letter also provided notice of availability of
the Final EIR. The Final EIR includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The MMRP
is also attached to Planning Commission Resolution No.7398 for the EIR. The analysis contained in the EIR
concluded that all significant impacts would be mitigated to below a level of significance.

Dear Planning Commission,
First of all, thank you for all you do to make our community desirable for all in SouthernCalifornia. My name is Glenn Domingo and our family has been Carlsbad Residence since2001. I am writing to support the above project for affordable housing. We moved fromLaguna Niguel in a Master Planned Community because of the affordability of housing inCarlsbad. Since living in beautiful Carlsbad, we noticed many hospitality employees andservice employees were driving quite a distance to work. The new apartments will assist thesetypes of citizens to work and live in our community. Thus, creating a better way of life andstandard of living for these citizens.
We believe that many family demographics will benefit from additional lower income housingfrom Empty Nesters downsizing, New Families entering into the Carlsbad Community withaffordable starter housing and Hospitality and Tourism employees being able to afford in thecommunity they earn and serve.
Finally, the overall community will look more appealing as new home buyers and traffic alongPalomar Airport Road continues to increase. Your department has done such a wonderful jobwith the limited open space, parks and reserves. This specific plot of land will be best utilizedfor affordable housing because the streets and infrastructure is already in place. Don't hesitateto reach out if you have any questions or concerns,
Kindly, Glenn & Jenifer Domingo1184 Magnolia AveCarlsbad, CA 92008

Dear Planning Commissioner:
I am writing regarding City of Carlsbad Planning Case Name CT 2018-0002/SDP 2018-
0002/CDP 2018-0005/HDP 2018-0001/HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001 (DEV 2017-0033)-
AVAIRA APARTMENTS:
I am writing in support of this project for many reasons. I believe that affordable housing for
employees working in nearby industry, hotels, and tourist destinations is imperative to the
long-term growth of Carlsbad as a City. Affordable housing allows “starter families” to live
close to their workplace such as LEGOLAND, restaurants and other small businesses in
Carlsbad. These small businesses are the foundation of the Carlsbad economy. Providing this
housing will also keep the revenue generated from sales tax, income tax and other forms of
city-based charges and miscellaneous fees in Carlsbad. Enabling employees to live near their
jobs will reduce traffic congestion in Carlsbad as well.
I have lived in Carlsbad 30 years and a business owner for 20 years. I can tell you I have had
difficulty retaining good employees due to the lack of affordable housing. Many of my
employees over the years have had to leave employment as they commute to my business
from Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside and other surrounding more affordable communities.
Another benefit this project will provide is housing accommodations for long term Carlsbad
residents who are downsizing after they become empty nesters yet want to remain in
Carlsbad. Families impacted by the unfortunate circumstance of divorce are forced to move
their children out of the school district they are familiar and comfortable with. This housing
project will provide the “new” single parent a housing alternative minimizing the disruption to
the lives of their children.
I believe this project will benefit the City of Carlsbad for many years to come and needs
further consideration by the City Planning Commission for future housing projects in Carlsbad.
Sincerely
Jennifer Bettis-Jones

Subject:Public Comment of Planning Commission Agenda for Item 2 - Aviara Apartments - Dec. 16, 2020
Date:Tuesday, December 15, 2020 4:57:02 PM
Please read the attached letter of support for Aviara Apartments into the record of theDecember 16, 2020 Carlsbad Planning Commission hearing during both the PublicComment section of the hearing and please make this part of the written record.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Chairperson Anderson and Planning Commissioners,
I am writing this letter in support of the Aviara Apartments request and Planning Staffrecommendation for approval that you are hearing tonight. I have never spoken in support of,
or opposition against, any project before the Commission, but I have found an exception tothis tonight.
My biggest reason for supporting this project is it directly addresses the much-needed housing
options important to this community….not only the apartment units it provides, but theaffordable units as well.
Carlsbad, as you know, has a huge deficit to overcome in construction of new affordable
housing units as identified by the 6th Cycle of RHNA Allocation requirements. This projectwill add 69 new affordable units to the mix. Sure, although that is a small number in
comparison to the 2,844 very low, low and moderate units required through RHNA, the City isheading in the right direction.
These new options … both market rate and affordable … will allow school teachers, entry-
level medical professionals and first responders, and employees in our hospitality and tourismindustries an opportunity to call Carlsbad home. It will allow your children (and
grandchildren) and mine … and those new to the workforce … to live in the community wherethey work and/or were raised.
Additionally, with the location of this project on a major and secondary arterial, the immediate
access to public transportation … that will reduce traffic impacts and carbon emissions … is asignificant factor in my support of the project. This is one of the key and remaining locations
in this City for such apartment housing, and it supports the core values identified through theEnvision Carlsbad and General Plan planning processes.
With this in mind, the standards modification to parking that has been recommended by
Planning Staff and City’s Housing Policy Team should be supported on its merits.
The additional circulation and Encina Creek improvements also make this project importantfor the community.
I realize the Commission has two architects, so I will take a risk at saying the integrity of the
design detail of both complexes … the Spanish Colonial Revival and the ContemporarySpanish-style design using Irving Gill planning elements … make this project fit beautifully
into the community. In other words, the applicant focused heavily in not only creatinghousing options, but in making sure there was architectural integrity as well.
Finally, the community outreach efforts conducted by the applicant appear to have mitigated
any community concerns as evidenced by the lack of any known opposition comments orletters to the project in the Staff Report.
As such, I ask the Carlsbad Planning Commission to consider approving this project as
submitted.
Sincerely,
Jeff Segall

I want to encourage our City Planning Commissioners to approve the “Aviara Apartments” project.
This project creates the unique opportunity to provide quality affordable living space for young families, empty
nesters, employees of nearby businesses, and affordable housing units for families that qualify.
The popularity and rapid sales of new condominiums at Bressi Ranch is an excellent indicator of the need for
additional housing on the Palomar Airport Road corridor. Since the location of “Aviara Apartments” has already
been designated as ‘multi-family use’, it makes good common sense to build what the community needs where the
community needs it.
Approval of this project is wise, insightful, and appropriate planning for the present and future housing needs in
Carlsbad.
Respectfully submitted

I would like my comments read into the record.
As a resident and business owner in Carlsbad for the last 16 years I feel as if I have a fairly
good read of the culture and needs of Carlsbad. As Carlsbad continues to grow it is importantthat that growth is done in conjunction with our communities culture. The project must fit the
needs of the community. I have looked over the Aviara Apartment project and I am in favor ofit. I feel it is a well thought out plan that fits the needs of our growing community, in a
responsible way. A way that is in line with our current residents, and culture of ourcommunity. Myself like many people wish Carlsbad would stay the same. However, I
understand that this is not reality and in order to continue to be an amazing city we mustcontinue to move forward. That does not mean we need to do it in an irresponsible way. That
is why I strongly feel that this project is a great thing for Carlsbad now and moving forward.

Dear Planning Commission:
I have lived in Carlsbad for over 50 years, and I have followed the development issues in our
city more closely in recent years as the State of California has mandated more housing units
be built to address a housing shortage.
I have also followed the attendant issues of density and affordability as they play out against
the concept of “local control.”
All that being said, in reviewing the subject proposed development, it seems to me that this is
an ideal project for Carlsbad. It appears to “tick” virtually every box on the list of attributes for
which the city is looking in a development project.
I could list the litany of positive attributes that will benefit Carlsbad, but suffice it to say, for
me the two most important issues this project addresses are 1) creating places to live in
Carlsbad for “starter families” that can’t afford expensive single-family homes yet; and 2)
providing places for “downsizers” to live after they become empty nesters. In my opinion,
those attributes focus most on what the residents of Carlsbad need most.
Therefore, I request that the Planning Commission wholeheartedly support and approve this
highly beneficial development project.

Through the leadership of your Commission and our City Council, the city has made huge strides
over the past two decades to grow Carlsbad into a true live/work community through a careful blend
of attracting top employers/industries and a growth management plan to provide guiderails along
that journey. Housing is always a challenge, particularly with median home prices in our area.
Additional apartments will provide affordable options and help more of those who are employed by
Carlsbad businesses also become Carlsbad residents.

Good afternoon,
This letter is in support of the project known as Aviara Apartments on the Commission agenda
December 16, agenda item 2..
As a 25 year resident of Carlsbad and a hospitality worker, I'm keenly aware of the need thatmany face with housing that is close to a workplace and also affordable. Many people
commute from Temecula, Murrieta, Chula Vista and other areas that add hours to their eighthour workday. In addition, many service industry workers have 2 jobs to support themselves
and their families.
I've had two conversations this week in regards to local housing here in Carlsbad. One co-worker is hoping to find an affordable apartment in Carlsbad soon and the other has recently
relocated to Carlsbad from Sonoma County.They are both young and eager to live here,specifically.
While still furloughed from my hospitality position at a major resort in La Costa, I'm working
for a private jet FBO at McClellan Palomar Airport. There are many pilots who keepapartments in the area for their flight crews and also flight instructors, of which there are
many. You'd be surprised how many pilots are between the age of 20-30 who want to be nearthe airport due to the ever changing and on demand flight schedules.
The surrounding hotels, restaurants, Costco, ViaSat and other service industries in Carlsbad
would greatly benefit from their workforce being local. It makes for happier, healthier andmore productive employees!
The property and how it is situated make it a desirable site to fulfill the needs of additional
housing here in Carlsbad and San Diego County. Thank you for your time and service toCarlsbad.

Catherine Miller

Thank you for your thoughtful provision of the planning and engineering document you provided
me. My objection to this project is not total, nor, do I believe unreasonable. In December 1998, my
family and I made a significant investment in our home in Carlsbad. We made an additional and
substantial investment in a view specific lot, and personal development of rear yard views and sight
lines. We did so relying on the prudent and reasonable building codes for Carlsbad upon which we
relied and continue rely on, to protect our investment and life style. I always realized certain
development to the property immediately below my home would be developed. I saw no probable
of objection to such development, as the property developed immediately west the proposed were
accomplished in accordance with Building Code, and does not adversely affect my views and sight
line. I am not opposed to a reasonable variance to code to enable the economic basis of the
proposed development. My objection is that a variance from 35 feet above grade to a maximum
high variance to 60 feet above grade seems to me to be excessive, and ignores unreasonable impact
on view and sight line of mine and adjacent homes. Specifically, the proposed tower stand directly in
front of my view of the Crossing landscape and water fall. I believe it imposes a dominant intrusion.
A more reasonable variance of not to exceed 50 feet above grade, would probably assuage my
objection to the intrusion issue. I realize development conditions change. A variance that doubles
code restriction I was promised is excessive and should not be granted.
Please have this read into the record.

Aviara Apartments
Dear City of Carlsbad Planning Commissioners,
My name is Tracy Carmichael. I am a Carlsbad resident and
taxpayer of 33 years. I am writing to you today in support of the
Aviara Apartments project. The project before you is a 329
multifamily units located at 1205 Aviara Parkway. The project is
an appropriate use of land. The developer over the years has
done an excellent job in communicating their vision by soliciting
input from local residents and extensively researching the needs
of our community. They understand we value and recognize that
providing all types of housing for our citizens is necessary for a
balanced socio-economic sustainable society.
Our regions’ need of affordable housing is complex and has
many obstacles to overcome. The San Diego Association of
Government has determined that all local governments must do
their fair share in providing new housing. Carlsbad’s RHNA
allocation is 3,873. Aviara Apartments project will assist the City
of Carlsbad in meeting its SANDAG RHNA goals. This will
provide our community its much needed affordable housing
options from those seeking a “first time out on your own”
experience to those wanting a down-sized simplified lifestyle.
Regionally Carlsbad is seen as a job center. Aviara Apartment’s is
a perfect location as it is centered in the City of Carlsbad job’s
corridor allowing for ease in accessibility to local jobs, transit,
good and services, our beaches, parks, schools.
Lastly; Aviara Apartments aligns with the climate action goals by
establishing housing adjacent to roadways with ease to the major
freeways for extensive travel but additionally it offers accessibility
to mass transit that will reduce traffic and vehicle miles traveled
by further reducing greenhouse gas emission and will improve
the air quality and protect the environment.
I am in favor of Aviara Apartments for all the reasons stated
above but mainly because it offers an affordable housing
component which is essential to developing a balanced
approach to a great quality of life in which we can sustain and
thrive as a community.
I thank you for your time and encourage you to support Aviara
Apartments project today by accepting the City staff’s
recommendation to approve Resolution 7398 and 7399.
Respectfully,
Tracy Carmichael

Re: Aviara Apartments
Dear Planning Commission Members:
As you are aware, Friends of Aviara (FOA) supports building on the 2017Carlsbad Integrated Pest Management Plan -- which prioritizes the use of
non-chemical products and methods for all city-owned and operated parks,open space areas, trails, rights of way, and school campuses -- to include the
entire city. This apartment project is a prime example of the need for aunified approach due to its proximity to Encinas Creek, native willows, as
well as other threatened wildlife and plant species.
The report before you allocates 1.6 acres as open space. There is a riparian
buffer. Alas, our wildlife cannot adopt these arbitrary buffer distinctions,since their territory includes the entire 8.2 acres designated as developable.
To truly protect the species and closest neighbors to these buildings, FOAasks that you include anti-poison protections as condition for approval of
this project. As the California Coastal Commission (CCC) has noted these"provisions are very important to ensure that environmentally sensitive
habitat areas are protected against any significant disruption of habitatvalue." The language supported by the CCC is provided in the addendum to
this letter.
Years ago, FOA raised concerns and indeed took legal action over the
development of the Lowe's site. Then, as with this project, the volume of soilto be removed and replaced was staggering. We reached an agreement with
that developer to address many of our concerns. One of the central issueswas the impact of the construction runoff and the development's future
runoff into the water flowing to the coast. Again, we are concerned that thisdocument is lax in monitoring the removal of surface soils, the removal of
concentrations of hazardous materials from the identified storage tanksformally on the site, and chemicals from past agricultural uses. FOA requests
the Commission include increased runoff and creek monitoring on a weeklybasis as a condition of approval.
FOA also objects to the following:
--A 60% increase in density from the original 205 units allocated for this site.
The previous proposed bump of less than 5% allowing for 224 units isunderstandable. However, the jump to 329 units is to reduce the General
Master Plan guidance to a joke. This is not good governance.
--The reduction in parking spaces from the 631 required to 533 is not
equitable as it disadvantages the affordable housing units, forcing them to
park extra vehicles in the adjoining neighborhoods.
--Ingress and egress are not sufficient in case of fire.
--The East phase lacks the space needed for a learning center like that
utilized by the MAAC Project at the Laurel Tree Apartments.
Addressing these issues will improve this project and bring it in line with the
community's vision.
Sincerely,
De’Ann Weimer on behalf of the FOA Board

PROPOSED E-MAIL AND REQUEST TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Aviara Masters Association, we requestthe below comments be read into the record at the Planning Commission Meeting onDecember 16, 2020, regarding the Aviara Apartment Project scheduled for hearingbefore the Planning Commission.
The purpose of this comment is to object to the use of the name “AviaraApartments” by the Aviara Apartment Project (“Proposed Project”) and to provide noticeto all interested persons and members of the general public of the same. The ProposedProject is in close proximity to the Aviara Master Planned Community which is subjectto the Aviara Masters Association (the “Aviara Master Community”) and its governingdocuments. The Aviara Master Community is an award winning, master-plannedcommunity with over 20 years of history in Carlsbad and is located less than a mile fromthe Proposed Project. The Aviara Master Community is made up of 17 separateneighborhoods under the Aviara Master Plan and includes the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort,Spa and Golf Club (“Park Hyatt Aviara Resort”). The Aviara Master Community iscommonly known in the broader community simply as “Aviara.”
The Aviara Masters Association believes the name “Aviara Apartments” isconfusing to the general public as there is no association between the Aviara MasterCommunity and the Proposed Project. In addition, the Aviara Master Associationresidents are conferred certain benefits at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort which will not beavailable to the residents of the new “Apartment” facility and may cause confusion tothem as well. To avoid such confusion to the general public, the Aviara MastersAssociation requests the Aviara Apartment Project to change the name of its proposedproject from the “Aviara Apartments” to another name not likely to cause confusion tothe general public as to the existence of any relationship between the Proposed Projectand the Aviara Master Community.

We are writing in support of the aforementioned project to add more affordable housing to meet the
demand in North County and specifically Carlsbad. This project provides a geographical location that it
makes it walkable and close to public transportation options for employees working in nearby industry,
hotels and tourist destinations. Once the pandemic concludes pent up demand for affordable housing will
grow and this project adds affordable inventory to help families that can’t afford to purchase a home.
This project is long overdue for approval and was already designated in the 2015 General Plan Update.
Visual impacts, traffic and parking to the local neighborhood have been mitigated. This project upgrades
the current visual elements and usage in the local neighborhood.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and goal to increase affordable housing inventory to our
community.

Re: Aviara Apartments – correspondence for the 12/16/2020 Planning Commission public hearing
Planning Commission:
I am neutral on whether the Aviara Apartments project gets built, and the addition of affordable housing
would be desirable, but the City and developer have not followed the applicable Transportation Impact
Analysis (TIA) rules. In addition, the developer needs to pay its fair share toward improvements for all
travel modes and for mitigation of its traffic impacts pursuant to General Plan Policy 3-P.5. As
summarized and detailed below, several areas need to be addressed in the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), and staff report Findings and Conditions, prior to certification/approval. Please refer to my
Comment Letter in the final EIR1 (labeled “F”) for additional details.
Summary (recommendations in bold text)
• A remarkable letter from the EIR consultant suggests that the developer, with the support of
staff, had an unusual level of influence over revisions to the EIR.
• A “Tier 2” Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan is proposed, but that applies when
developments generate 275 or less average daily trips (ADT), but this project generates 1,974
ADT.
• The trip distribution estimate (60% north/40% south of the project) likely under-reports traffic
impacts on the northern Aviara Parkway and Palomar Airport Road street facilities, and no
detailed justification is provided. It will probably be closer to 80%/20%.
o The trip distribution should be justified more thoroughly or re-done.
• In violation of the General Plan and TIA Guidelines, a defective vehicle level of service (LOS)
method was used for the EIR; and pedestrian, bicycle, and transit LOS were not included at all in
the EIR. Staff is dubiously claiming that their own failure to have the TIA Guidelines “approved”
is justification to ignore them for CEQA/EIR purposes.
o The Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines should be used for both the
CEQA/EIR and Growth Management Plan (GMP) traffic studies for all modes of travel.
• The defective vehicle LOS method inappropriately combines two different methods (ARTPLAN
and a SANTEC/ITE LOS table) to produce numerous tables with invalid LOS “A” and “B” grades
for Aviara Parkway segments, several of which would likely be GMP deficient (LOS “E”) under
the cumulative scenario if analyzed properly.
1 Aviara Apartments Project, Final Environmental Impact Report, November 2020:
https://www.carlsbadca.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=46255
2
o The traffic studies in the EIR need to be revised to use ARTPLAN for both the service
volumes and the LOS grades, and TDM and Transportation Systems Management
(TSM) based mitigation for deficiencies need to be included in the MMRP.
• Traffic added by the project to the Palomar Airport Road/Aviara Parkway intersection and
adjacent Palomar Airport Road street segments also require CEQA mitigation under the TIA
Guidelines in the form of TDM and TSM, because they are already GMP-deficient and exempt
from street improvements.
• The project relies heavily on transit for TDM. There are three bus stops in the project area with
very infrequent service and essentially no current ridership. The proposed plan to provide only a
sidewalk, bench, and trash can to the stops will not induce meaningful ridership.
• The TDM-related Conditions of approval and EIR/MMRP should be expanded to include the
following:
o A fully documented “Tier 3” level TDM plan, plus additional TDM/TSM-based
mitigation triggered by the addition of traffic to GMP-deficient/exempt street
facilities, with the goal of a 15% reduction in ADT or vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
o Carpool/rideshare spaces on both sites with usage monitoring and reporting by the
Transportation Coordinator.
o Free wireless communications in all units with central access to business services,
including printing, scanning, and faxing at both sites, as described in EIR Appendix J.
o Access of all residents to secure bicycle lockers at both sites, as described in EIR
Appendix J.
o Additional bus stop improvements, including full pedestrian-scale lighting at the stops
and lighting between the project and the stops for safety, a shelter at each stop for
protection from the sun and weather, and secure bicycle storage.
o Free transit passes for the affordable units; and parking space fees unbundled from
rent for the standard units, with free transit passes for those who forego parking; plus
usage monitoring and reporting by the Transportation Coordinator. (The current
proposal—listed only in EIR Appendix J—is for transit passes to be provided to
residents who agree to forego one or more parking spaces.)
• The traffic study failed to include the I-5 ramps at Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane, for
which the TIA Guidelines require analysis to confirm that ramp storage capacity is not exceeded.
o Queue analysis of the I-5 ramps should be added to the traffic study (also consistent
with a request in the public comment letter from Caltrans).
• Both Caltrans and I requested a VMT study, and a March 2017 legal settlement required
consideration of VMT for all discretionary development projects.

Influence of developer in EIR creation
To put some of the following comments in better context, I want to begin by describing a remarkable
letter from the independent consultant hired by the city to prepare the EIR,2 in which the consultant
requests a “budget augmentation,” because, in their words:
...[The] original scope of work did not anticipate the level of applicant involvement and the
multiple rounds of review and revisions that would be necessary due to the applicant's
significant involvement…The additional level of effort required to address comments on the
submitted screencheck drafts of the EIR were primarily due to the applicant's heavy
involvement. At one juncture, the city directed [us] to use our own judgement in considering
whether or not to implement the applicant's requested revisions. However, when we did so, we
received specific feedback from the applicant and the city that the applicant did not understand
why we did not implement their suggested revisions.
One of the areas cited by the EIR consultant in relation to this problem was the traffic studies. It is
troubling that staff seemingly told the consultant to just work directly with the developer to incorporate
the developer’s revisions into the EIR, and then apparently challenged the consultant when they did not
want to do so.
The LOS analysis methods in the EIR violate the General Plan and TIA Guidelines
Carlsbad’s 2015 General Plan Mobility Element requires usage of the most recent version of the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) to determine vehicle LOS3 and also requires LOS analysis for the pedestrian,
bicycle, and transit modes of travel. In turn, Carlsbad’s TIA Guidelines4 implement the General Plan by
fleshing out the LOS analysis requirements for all modes of travel for the purposes of both CEQA and city
regulations (the GMP). The very first sentences in the TIA Guidelines read:
Projects in the City of Carlsbad may require an analysis and evaluation of project-specific
transportation impacts to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City
regulations. These Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines provide direction for this review
consistent with the General Plan Mobility Element…
However, instead of following the General Plan and TIA Guidelines for the CEQA transportation analysis,
staff allowed the applicant to use a bizarre mix of vehicle LOS methods that produce ridiculously
optimistic LOS grades for the EIR—an approach that is not consistent with the most recent version of
the HCM and does not reflect sound traffic engineering (see below for details). In addition, staff allowed
the applicant to completely exclude pedestrian, bicycle, and transit LOS from the EIR. Carlsbad’s LOS
methods for all modes of travel, as described in the TIA Guidelines, need to be included in the EIR.

Staff’s invalid excuse for not using the TIA Guidelines for CEQA
Staff’s excuse for not following the TIA Guidelines for CEQA, as provided in their responses to my public
comments on this project (F-2 and F-7 in the final EIR) and others, is that the guidelines/LOS significance
thresholds were never “approved” (presumably by the City Council). Staff then cites a State CEQA
statute that describes the need to formally adopt significance thresholds.5 However, that statute is very
clear that, while threshold adoption can be done through an ordinance or resolution (City Council), it
also can be accomplished by simply publishing a rule, which was effectively done with the publication of
the TIA Guidelines back in April 2018.
For reference, the TIA Guidelines were only begrudgingly created by staff due to a requirement in a
March 2017 legal settlement with an environmental group.6 Now, several years later, the argument that
“the guidelines do not have to be followed for CEQA because they were never approved” appears to be
a brazen attempt to bypass that legal agreement. And the argument is even more disingenuous, in that
the lack of “approval” of the TIA Guidelines springs exclusively from staff’s own protracted refusal to
present the document to the City Council for approval, or otherwise have it adopted.
In addition, the statute also allows significance thresholds to be determined on a “case-by-case basis”
without adoption. Staff has cited on multiple occasions its ability to decide on a “case-by-case basis”
whether to use the LOS or VMT as the standard of review for traffic studies, which is also an
establishment of the significance threshold. Yet, staff just allowed the developer to pick the method that
required the least mitigation (e.g., the Marja Acres developer opted for the VMT approach, and the
developer of this project opted for LOS).
As I review all of these development applications, dubious loopholes are routinely used to justify
following, ignoring, or creatively re-interpreting the rules in the General Plan and TIA Guidelines, but
there is one consistent theme—the developer is allowed to choose the methods that create the least
mitigation burden, and staff tends to defend those decisions regardless of public input. The fact is the
TIA Guidelines should have been used for the CEQA analysis, rather than contriving convoluted excuses
to avoid them.
60% north/40% south vehicle trip distribution and lack of horizon-year analysis under-estimate traffic
impacts
The project is just south of Palomar Airport Road off Aviara Parkway, and there are far more
destinations north of the project along Palomar Airport Road, including access to I-5. Destinations to the
south are largely residential. Therefore, the current assumption in all of the traffic studies that 40% of
project-related vehicle trips will be to the south on Aviara Parkway (EIR Appendix J, Figure 4-1) likely
under-estimates the traffic impacts on the northern segment of Aviara Parkway and on Palomar Airport
Road. Allowing the applicant to split trips more equally in both directions on Aviara Parkway allows
5 California Code of Regulations 15064.7(b): “Each public agency is encouraged to develop and publish thresholds
of significance that the agency uses in the determination of the significance of environmental effects. Thresholds
of significance to be adopted for general use as part of the lead agency's environmental review process must be
adopted by ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation, and developed through a public review process and be
supported by substantial evidence. Lead agencies may also use thresholds on a case-by-case basis…” 6 Carlsbad City Council Resolution No. 2017-044 (North County Advocates Settlement Agreement, 3/14/2017):

them to globally reduce the reported impacts, and no detailed justification for the trip distribution was
provided in response to my public comment (F-6).
The traffic studies also only include current cumulative conditions—and not a future horizon-year
scenario when traffic conditions likely will further worsen. A horizon year analysis should be added to
the traffic studies for the reasons stated in my public comment letter (F-14), and it is staff who made
and is interpreting the rules that allow this project to avoid such an analysis.
Specific defects in the Aviara Parkway vehicle LOS methods
The TIA Guidelines implement the HCM-compliant evaluation method through a roadway capacity
(service volume) table of LOS values for street facilities around Carlsbad calculated with the ARTPLAN
software. For example, the entry in the following table represents Aviara Parkway from Palomar Airport
Road to Poinsettia Lane, showing that, when the traffic volume exceeds 1,130 vehicles per hour in
either direction, the LOS goes from “D” to “E,” causing the facility to become deficient under CEQA and
Carlsbad’s GMP. And when the traffic volume exceeds 1,630 vehicles per hour, the street reaches full
capacity.
Note that, due to the unique characteristics of Aviara Parkway, including the close spacing of traffic
signals, the best LOS grade that can be achieved there is “D,” and the LOS jumps to “E” when the volume
reaches just 69% of the capacity (1,130/1,630).
Although the EIR appears to use ARTPLAN (or an equivalent method) to calculate “capacity” values for
the Aviara Parkway street segments (e.g., EIR Appendix J, Table 6-2), it does not use the entry in the TIA
Guidelines table. More importantly, the EIR does not use the rest of the HCM-compliant LOS thresholds
generated by the ARTPLAN software. Rather, it inappropriately applies the ARTPLAN capacity values to a
generic old SANTEC/ITE volume-to-capacity table that does not account for the individual characteristics
of Aviara Parkway (EIR Appendix J, Table 2-5).
ARTPLAN capacity data is not intended to be used in this absurd manner with the unrelated SANTEC/ITE
table, which results in vastly over-optimistic LOS grades that are not consistent with the most recent
version of the HCM (as required by the General Plan) or the TIA Guidelines. As noted above, Aviara
Parkway jumps to LOS “E” at just 69% of its capacity value, but the old SANTEC/ITE table assigns an LOS
grade of “B” at that level. The EIR includes numerous tables full of invalid LOS “A” and “B” grades for the
street segments as a result of this scheme, similar to the invalid LOS numbers generated by staff for the
first 30 years of the GMP monitoring program. The whole approach and lack of oversight reflects poor
traffic engineering judgement.
The following table provides a more realistic look at the LOS values under cumulative conditions,
estimated from the service volume table in the TIA Guidelines. Note the deficiencies highlighted in
yellow, which should require mitigation under both CEQA and the GMP, but which are masked by the
inappropriate use of the generic SANTEC/ITE table.
6
The traffic studies in the EIR need to be revised to use ARTPLAN for both the traffic volumes and the LOS
grades (the SANTEC/ITE table should not be used). And mitigation for deficiencies in any scenario need
to be included in the MMRP.
Traffic added to Palomar Airport Road/Aviara Parkway intersection and adjacent Palomar Airport
Road street segments requires CEQA mitigation
Notwithstanding staff’s invalid “TIA Guideline approval” excuse, the TIA Guidelines require analysis of
the Palomar Airport Road/Aviara Parkway intersection based on its proximity to the project (only about
600 feet) and the adjacent Palomar Airport Road street segments in the EIR for CEQA purposes. The
intersection is already operating at a deficient LOS “E” (e.g., EIR Table 4.14-6), and the project will add
around 100 new trips to Palomar Airport Road in both the AM and PM peak hours (EIR Appendix J,
Figure 4-2)—and that is assuming only 60% of the trips are to the north. The TIA Guidelines (Table 6)
states: “Any trip added to a segment forecast to operate at deficient LOS requires project mitigation…”
Because the intersection and adjacent street segments have been exempted from further street
improvements pursuant to General Plan Policy 3-P.9, mitigation must be done in the form of TDM and
TSM pursuant to General Plan Policy 3-P.11 and Section 8.2 of the TIA Guidelines. And the TIA Guidelines
establish these as CEQA mitigation requirements that need to be fully addressed in the EIR and its
MMRP—not just with a sketchy plan to be finalized at some point in the future for approval at the sole
discretion of the City Engineer, as is currently proposed in the staff report.
There have been past instances where staff has included TDM and TSM related funding as conditions of
approval for development projects but then never actually required compliance by the developer,
because staff themselves failed to set up the program to collect on that requirement (e.g., Casa Aldea).
In other instances, traffic signal warrant securities have been included as conditions of approval but
then allowed to lapse without actually having meaningful warrant studies conducted. So, there should
be great skepticism that new conditions, like TDM, will be meaningfully implemented by staff, unless
they are spelled out in detail and included in the EIR/MMRP.
Magnitude of TDM/TSM mitigation needs to be increased
A Tier 2 TDM plan is being proposed. However, Carlsbad’s TDM Handbook defines the TDM plan tiers,
and it designates Tier 3 plans—with significantly higher requirements—for new developments that
generate more than 275 ADT (see the table below from the TDM Handbook). According to the EIR and
traffic studies, Aviara Apartments is projected to generate 1,974 ADT.
7
7
Further, the TDM Handbook is designed to encourage TDM under normal conditions, but the Aviara
Apartments project is unique in that it is adding vehicle traffic to street facilities that are already
deficient/exempt, and other facilities that will become deficient in the future under cumulative
conditions, as described above. This creates an additional TDM requirement pursuant to General Plan
Policy 3-P.11.
More expansive TDM/TSM mitigation plan needs to be developed and included in the EIR/MMRP
The TIA Guidelines make TDM and TSM mitigation CEQA requirements. Therefore, more comprehensive
TDM and TSM plans needs to be provided in the EIR/MMRP for public review to assess whether they will
be sufficient to mitigate the traffic impacts to a less than significant level. As detailed in my public
comment letter, a VMT analysis would have shown that the project would need to reduce VMT by about
16%, so that seems like a relevant goal for the TDM plan.
All of my public comments expressing concerns about the currently proposed TDM plan were summarily
dismissed and left unanswered by staff, presumably under the false premise that they do not have to
follow the TIA Guidelines, so the TDM plan does not fall under CEQA and is not subject to public review.
Those questions should require answers.
The TDM-related Conditions of approval include the following:
(1) Tier 2 TDM plan to include a Transportation Coordinator. For the reasons described above, this
should be changed to at least a Tier 3 TDM plan, and it should be included in the MMRP, including the
Transportation Coordinator.
(2) Two carpool/rideshare parking spaces. The mere existence of these spaces will not meaningfully
reduce the ~2,000 forecasted ADT from the project without providing access to a residential rideshare
program and incentives to use it. The Conditions and MMRP should require these on both sites, as well
as coordination, usage monitoring, and reporting by the Transportation Coordinator.
(3) Business center for teleworking. The Conditions and MMRP should be expanded to include what
was proposed in EIR Appendix J—free wireless communications in all units with central access to
business services, including printing, scanning, and faxing at both sites.
(4) Bicycle storage. The Conditions and MMRP should be expanded to include what was proposed in EIR
Appendix J—access of all residents to secure bicycle lockers at both sites. Even so, it is unrealistic to
assume that significant numbers of residents will be taking their bikes out on Palomar Airport Road,
7 City of Carlsbad Transportation Demand Management Handbook, August 21, 2019
8
College Boulevard, or Aviara Parkway as a substitute for regular vehicle trips, given the speeds and
traffic volumes.
(5) Bus stop improvements: sidewalks, benches, and trash cans
The project relies heavily on bus ridership in its TDM plan outline. “High-density housing near transit” is
promoted several times in the EIR to address traffic and environmental concerns. However, the
currently proposed transit aspects of the TDM mitigation are woefully inadequate.
There are three bus stops in the project area: westbound Palomar Airport Road, eastbound Palomar
Airport Road, and northbound College Boulevard. However, there is currently only about one average
daily boarding among all three stops combined8—essentially nobody currently uses these bus stops!
One of the most significant barriers to ridership is the fact that the routes that serve these stops only
arrive twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon (at most), and each pair of arrivals is separated by
about 1-1/2 hours.
The extent of the improvements currently included in the “Conditions” is to ensure that there is a
sidewalk, bench, and trash can for each of these three bus stops. While that is sufficient to satisfy the
minimum LOS “D” GMP transit performance standard in staff’s poorly contrived point system, it is
laughable to think that they will lead to meaningful numbers of project residents using the bus rather
than cars. And this project has TDM requirements that go beyond just achieving the minimum
standards, because it is adding its traffic to deficient/exempt streets.
The Conditions and MMRP should include full pedestrian-scale lighting at the stops and lighting between
the project and the stops for safety, a shelter at each stop for safety and protection from the sun and
weather, and secure bicycle storage. The shelters should be as far as possible from the streets due to
the high speeds (50 to 55 MPH).
In addition to the improved amenities, the Conditions and MMRP should be expanded to include what
was proposed in EIR Appendix J—at a minimum, transit passes should be provided to residents who
agree to forego one or more parking spaces. Preferably, transit passes would be offered to all residents
in the affordable units, regardless of parking, and parking costs should be unbundled from the base rent
of the standard units to provide more incentive to obtain and use the transit passes.
The following photographs show the three bus stops in their current sorry state (Google Street View,
2/2020). Would you feel safe and comfortable walking about a quarter-mile after dark, or on a hot or
rainy day, to wait for a bus at these stops—even if they have a small bench and trash can?

Traffic analysis should include I-5 ramps
Caltrans (Comment D-2 in the FEIR) requested that the traffic analysis be extended to include the I-5
interchanges with Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane. Staff responded that the traffic analysis
does not need to include those interchanges, because the guidelines only describe analysis of
intersections up to 0.5 miles from project access points and street segments to which the project adds
50 or more peak-hour trips.
However, staff selectively ignored the other provision in Section 3.2 of the TIA Guidelines that requires
analysis of all freeway entrance and exit ramps to which the project would add 20 or more peak-hour
trips or cause the traffic queue to exceed ramp storage capacity. It is unclear whether project traffic
would exceed the queue capacities on the ramps, because that analysis was not presented, but this is
yet another example of staff allowing the TIA Guidelines to be selectively enforced. The traffic analysis
should consider the I-5 ramps, given the language in the TIA Guidelines and the request from Caltrans.
VMT analysis
The public comments from both Caltrans and I suggested doing a VMT analysis. Staff cited the fact that
the State of California did not make that mandatory until July 1, 2020. However, the March 2017
settlement agreement with North County advocates9 required:
As part of the development review process, the City shall evaluate all discretionary projects for
consistency with applicable General Plan policies and CAP measures and actions that aim to
reduce roadway congestion and vehicle miles traveled (VMT), through Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) techniques and multi-modal improvements…
Although the recently approved Marja Acres project circulated its EIR long before the July 1, 2020
deadline, they were allowed to use VMT analysis, which benefited the developer. The developer for
Aviara Apartments, which circulated its EIR long after the Marja Acres EIR, was allowed to use the older
LOS methodology. Staff’s response to my comment about the legal settlement requiring VMT was not
responsive.

City of Carlsbad Planning Commission,
I’m writing this in support of Summerhill’s Aviara Apartments project. As home prices and rents continue
to rise, many of our families and local employees are getting squeezed out of Carlsbad. I believe this project
will provide additional
options to those who desire to live near their work, or to those who want their kids to have access to our
great schools who simply cannot afford to pay the astronomical real estate prices we experience here. Years
of planning and due
diligence have gone into making sure this project becomes a success to every standard, and the positive
impact to the community will be significant. While I am not quick to support higher densities, we face a
significant housing shortage
in our community (shared by many others in California) and this type of project minimizes negative impacts
while providing a valuable resource our current and future residents will benefit from.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my support in developing the Palomar Airport Road and Aviara
Parkway corner into an apartment complex. These would be such an asset to our community
for so many reasons. So many hard-working families struggle to afford a home in this area,
housing prices are no joke. Our amazing local school Pacific Rim would be such a blessing to
these families and children. This area is perfectly accessible, has great traffic flow and would
allow kids in that community to walk or bike to school.
I also feel these apartments would be the perfect resource for older couples who no longer
need the space of a larger home but want to stay in beautiful Carlsbad. More affordable
housing in this incredible location would be such a great thing for our community.

Date:Monday, December 14, 2020 10:23:37 PM
I would like to ask that my comments be read into the record and considered as you make your determination today
regarding the Aviara Apartments project.
Carlsbad was carefully planned and laid out as a cohesive community. Proper growth was anticipated and planned
and prepared for- by property owners, by community members, by decision makers, and by staff. I was very pleased
to learn that staff have worked with the property owners in creating a design and plan that they heartily support. It
provides new housing opportunities for workers near their places of employment, provides opportunities for those
seeking a hand up in housing, provides for a balance of different levels of housing need, reduces the net traffic
congestion as we meet our housing needs, and helps with needed infrastructure.
The property owners are long-time committed people of our community who want to enhance the city and provide a
blend of housing opportunities where they are of most good to the city. They have the best interests of the city at
heart. The city has a great team of well-qualified staff that understand how to help the city move carefully and
wisely into the future, and these owners have worked with them to create a design that staff are declaring meets the
best goals of the city in building for the future. I ask that you support the staff’s determination that this is good
project for the city and vote in support.

Date:Tuesday, December 15, 2020 6:53:39 PM
Dear Planning Commission,
I have called Carlsbad home for the last 20 years. I am hoping that the Aviara Apartment Project will
make it
possible for others to establish roots in our community.
I have seen the evolution of Carlsbad as the city welcomes new residents and businesses and I
support how Carlsbad has managed its growth. Part of managing the growth was the undertaking of
the General Plan
Update. The GP update was informed by robust and extensive public participation process known as
Envision Carlsbad. After seven years of community engagement from resident and community
organizations, the plan is a result of collaboration and smart growth that sets Carlsbad up for a
successful future.
This project will give affordable housing for employees in working in nearby industry, hotels and
tourist destinations. It will give places to live in Carlsbad for “starter families” that can not afford
expensive single family homes yet and will give a place for downsizers to live after they become
empty nesters. I totally understand this. It also has easy access to traffic arteries.
Please approve this project. CT 2028-0002/SDP 2018-0002/CDP 20018-0005/HDP 2018-

I'm a strong supporter of low income housing in our city. We need housing
to help support our tradesman, hospitality workers as well as the elderly.
This project is needed to help our community grow in a sustainable way.

Subject:Verbal comment to be read for Aviara Apartments agenda item at today"s commission meeting
Date:Wednesday, December 16, 2020 10:00:14 AM
My name is Steve Linke. I am on the Traffic and Mobility Commission but am commenting
individually.
The traffic studies for this project are unacceptable. Carlsbad’s Transportation Impact Analysis
Guidelines apply to both environmental impact reports and GMP compliance. It is outrageous that
staff is now claiming they did not have to use the guidelines for the EIR, because they allegedly have
not been approved yet. The legally obligated publication of the rules in April 2018 requires their use,
and they need to be applied—in full—before approval of this project.
Beyond that, it is staff itself that has refused to allow the TIA Guidelines to be reviewed. In fact, I
have been calling for our commission to review them since I joined almost two years ago, but we are
still waiting on staff to present them.
Instead, staff and the applicant used a bizarre mix of different components from various methods for
the EIR. For example, the new ARTPLAN software approach from the TIA Guidelines was used to
generate the street segment capacities. However, rather than using the rest of the service table
generated by ARTPLAN, as they should have, staff reverted to a 20-year-old SANTEC table, which
generically generates much more favorable LOS grades—A’ and B’s rather than D’s and E’s—because
it does not account for the individual characteristics of the street, as required by the Highway
Capacity Manual and 2015 General Plan.
In addition, the old SANTEC guidelines require “horizon” analysis 20 years into the future, but staff
cites a provision in the new TIA Guidelines to justify the applicant avoiding that critical analysis. This
inappropriate cherry-picking and mixing of methods, and the complete lack of pedestrian, bicycle,
and transit analysis in the EIR, are also not consistent with the HCM or General Plan. And this
unpublished mess of an approach does not even meet the standard of adoption that the TIA
Guidelines do.
As a result, there is currently no mobility related mitigation in the EIR—only separate watered down
conditions that are at the future discretion of staff. There are multiple instances from past
applications where such conditions have eventually been abandoned. For example, the Casa Aldea
apartment complex, approved about four years ago, was conditioned to provide TDM and TSM
funding, but they were never required to provide that funding, because staff chose not to create a
mechanism to collect it.
This nonsense needs to end—no more tortured legal arguments, pretzel logic, or allowing
developers to choose their own methods and EIR revisions, in order to avoid following the rules and
meaningful mitigation.
I refer you to the detailed recommendations in my letter, which focus on re-doing the traffic
analyses for the EIR based on the TIA Guidelines and including a more comprehensive TDM plan and
monitoring directly in the EIR.
Thank you.

To the Planning Commission:
Please see the attached correspondence regarding Agenda Item 2 being considered at your
upcoming meeting.
TO STAFF: In light of the length of our letter, if the City has adopted a practice of reading written
comments into the record, we are not asking that the letter be read into the record. Instead, we ask
that you read this short statement: “Californians for Homeownership is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization devoted to using legal tools to address California’s housing crisis. You have been
provided with a letter we submitted as part of our work monitoring local compliance with the
Housing Accountability Act. The City’s approval of this project is governed by the Act, which requires
the City to approve housing development projects without applying informal or subjective criteria.
Instead, the City must apply only applicable, objective standards in effect at the time a project is
deemed approved. To count as objective, a standard must involve no personal or subjective
judgment by a public official and be uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform
benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent
and the public official. Violation of the Act can expose the City to significant financial penalties. We
encourage you to review our letter closely to learn more about the City's obligations under the Act.
By submitting this correspondence, our organization will have automatic statutory standing to sue
the City under the Act if it denies this project. Thank you for your consideration."
Sincerely,
Christian Garcia

HMP 2018-0001/EIR 2018-0001 (DEV2017-0033)
To the Planning Commission:
Californians for Homeownership is a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to using legal tools
to address California’s housing crisis. We are writing regarding the Aviara Apartments project.
The City’s approval of this project is governed by the Housing Accountability Act, Government
Code Section 65589.5. For the purposes of Government Code Section 65589.5(k)(2), this letter
constitutes our written comments submitted in connection with the project. This letter is also
intended to support the project’s environmental review, which has met the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The Housing Accountability Act generally requires the City to approve a housing
development project unless the project fails to comply with “applicable, objective general plan,
zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the
time that the application was deemed complete.” Gov. Code § 65589.5(j)(1). To count as
“objective,” a standard must “involve[e] no personal or subjective judgment by a public official
and be[] uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion
available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official.”
Gov. Code § 65589.5(h)(8). In making this determination, the City must approve the project if the
evidence “would allow a reasonable person to conclude” that the project met the relevant standard.
Gov. Code § 65589.5(f)(4). Projects subject to modified standards pursuant to a density bonus are
judged against the City’s standards as modified. Gov. Code § 65589.5(j)(3).1
1 The staff report for this project refers to certain standards established under the City’s
Growth Management Program. Although this project meets those standards, we must remind the
City that the standards established by the Program are not applicable standards, because they
December 16, 2020

The City is subject to strict timing requirements under the Act. If the City desires to find
that a project is inconsistent with any of its land use standards, it must issue written findings to
that effect within 30 to 60 days after the application to develop the project is determined to be
complete. Gov. Code § 65589.5(j)(2)(A). If the City fails to do so, the project is deemed consistent
with those standards. Gov. Code § 65589.5(j)(2)(B).
If the City determines that a project is consistent with its objective standards, or a project
is deemed consistent with such standards, but the City nevertheless proposes to reject it, it must
make written findings, supported by a preponderance of the evidence, that the project would have
a “specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety,” meaning that the project would have
“a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written
public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application
was deemed complete.” Gov. Code § 65589.5(j)(1)(A); see Gov. Code § 65589.5(k)(1)(A)(i)(II).
Once again, “objective” means “involving no personal or subjective judgment by a public official
and being uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion
available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official.”
Gov. Code § 65589.5(h)(8).
Even if the City identifies legally sufficient health and safety concerns about a project, it
may only reject the project if “[t]here is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
adverse impact . . . other than the disapproval of the housing development project . . . .” Gov.
Code § 65589.5(j)(1)(B). Thus, before rejecting a project, the City must consider all reasonable
measures that could be used to mitigate the impact at issue.
For projects that provide housing for lower-income families, the Act is even more
restrictive. In many cases, the City must approve such a project even if it fails to meet the City’s
objective land use standards. See Gov. Code § 65589.5(d).
These provisions apply to the full range of housing types, including single-family homes,
market-rate multifamily projects, and mixed-use developments. Gov. Code § 65589.5(h)(2); see
Honchariw v. Cty. of Stanislaus, 200 Cal. App. 4th 1066, 1074-76 (2011). And the Legislature
has directed that the Act be “interpreted and implemented in a manner to afford the fullest possible
weight to the interest of, and the approval and provision of, housing.” Gov. Code
§ 65589.5(a)(2)(L).
When a locality rejects or downsizes a housing development project without complying
with the rules described above, the action may be challenged in court in a writ under Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1094.5. Gov. Code § 65589.5(m). The legislature has significantly reformed
this process over the last few years in an effort to increase compliance. Today, the law provides a
private right of action to non-profit organizations like Californians for Homeownership. Gov.
Code § 65589.5(k). A non-profit organization can sue without the involvement or approval of the
were invalidated by the enactment of Government Code Section 66300, the Housing Crisis Act
of 2019, which was established by SB 330, Stats. 2019 c. 659 § 13. We provided a detailed
analysis on this subject in our March 3, 2020 letter to the Community Development Director.

project applicant, to protect the public’s interest in the development of new housing. A locality
that is sued to enforce Section 65589.5 must prepare the administrative record itself, at its own
expense, within 30 days after service of the petition. Gov. Code § 65589.5(m). And if an
enforcement lawsuit brought by a non-profit organization is successful, the locality must pay the
organization’s attorneys’ fees. Gov. Code § 65589.5(k)(2). In certain cases, the court will also
impose fines that start at $10,000 per proposed housing unit. Gov. Code § 65589.5(k)(1)(B)(i).
In recent years, there have been a number of successful lawsuits to enforce these rules:
In Honchariw, 200 Cal. App. 4th 1066, the Court of Appeal vacated the County of
Stanislaus’s denial of an application to subdivide a parcel into eight lots for the
development of market-rate housing. The court held that the county did not identify
any objective standards that the proposed subdivision would not meet, and therefore
violated the Housing Accountability Act in denying the application.
In Eden Housing, Inc. v. Town of Los Gatos, Santa Clara County Superior Court
Case No. 16CV300733, the court determined that Los Gatos had improperly denied
a subdivision application based on subjective factors. The court found that the
factors cited by the town, such as the quality of the site design, the unit mix, and
the anticipated cost of the units, were not objective because they did not refer to
specific, mandatory criteria to which the applicant could conform.
San Francisco Bay Area Renters Federation v. Berkeley City Council, Alameda
County Superior Court Case No. RG16834448, was the final in a series of cases
relating to Berkeley’s denial of an application to build three single family homes
and its pretextual denial of a demolition permit to enable the project. The Court
ordered the city to approve the project and to pay $44,000 in attorneys’ fees.
In 40 Main Street Offices v. City of Los Altos, Santa Clara County Superior Court
Consolidated Case Nos. 19CV349845 & 19CV350422, the court determined that
the City violated the Housing Accountability Act, among other state housing laws,
by failing to identify objective land use criteria to justify denying a mixed-use
residential and commercial project. The Petitioners’ application for over $1.7
million in attorneys’ fees is pending before the court.
In other cases, localities have settled lawsuits by agreeing to approve the subject projects
and pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal expenses.
Approval of the project’s requested entitlements is well-supported by the record before the
City, and the project’s environmental review has met the requirements of CEQA.
Sincerely,
Christian Garcia
