A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Item No.
Application complete date: May 13, 2015
P.C. AGENDA OF: September 2, 2015 Project Planner: Shannon Werneke
Project Engineer: David Rick
SUBJECT: CT 14-06/HDP 14-05/HMP 15-03 – AFTON WAY – Request for approval of a Tentative
Tract Map, Hillside Development Permit and Habitat Management Plan Permit to allow
for the demolition of an existing single-family home and the grading and subdivision of a
4.94-acre parcel into eight (8) single-family lots, one (1) open space lot and one (1)
detention basin lot. The proposal also involves the extension of Afton Way, a public
road. The property is addressed as 2200 Afton Way and is located within Local Facilities
Management Plan Zone 1. The project qualifies as a CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-
Fill Development Projects) Class 32 Categorical Exemption.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7122 APPROVING Tentative
Tract Map CT 14-06, Hillside Development Permit HDP 14-05, and Habitat Management Plan Permit
HMP 15-03, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The 4.94-acre infill site is adjacent to the current western terminus of Afton Way, which is approximately
170 feet west of the intersection of Afton Way and Celinda Drive. The project also has frontage on
Carlsbad Village Drive to the north. A small, triangular-shaped remnant of the property (0.36 acres) is
located on the north side of Carlsbad Village Drive and is proposed to be designated as the remainder
parcel. This remnant parcel was created as a result of the dedication and construction of Carlsbad
Village Drive; the construction bisected the original boundaries of the parcel. Primary access to the
existing (vacant) single-family home is provided by a driveway off the current terminus of Afton Way, an
improved public street, with a sidewalk on the south side.
Pursuant to a tree survey prepared for the project (Rocks Biological Consulting, May, 2014), a number of
non-native trees are located on-site, a majority of which are eucalyptus trees. In addition, pursuant to
the Biological Resources Technical Report (Rocks Biological Consulting, September, 2014), a small patch
of disturbed Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (0.18 acres), as well as annual (non-native) grassland (1.27 acres)
are located on-site.
Topographically, the site is located upon a moderately-inclined slope descending in the northeasterly
direction. The highest elevation of the property, 282 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), is located at the
southwest corner of the property. Excluding the remainder parcel, the lowest elevation of the property,
205 feet AMSL, is located at the northeast corner of the property. An existing plantable retaining wall
up to 18 feet in height and slopes in excess of 40% are located along the northern boundary of the
property, adjacent to Carlsbad Village Drive. The existing vacant home is located on the northwest
portion of the project site. The property proposed to be subdivided is surrounded by existing single-
family homes to the east, west and south.

The proposed project entails a request to subdivide the 4.94-acre infill site into eight (8) single-family
lots, one (1) open space lot and one (1) detention basin lot. The single-family residential lots range in
size from 11,102 to 29,054 square feet (gross). In addition, Lots 2, 3 and 7 are proposed as panhandle
lots. While no homes are proposed in conjunction with the project, the applicant has indicated on the
plans that the inclusionary housing requirement will be satisfied through the construction of one (1)
second dwelling unit on either Lot 3, 7, or 8. To provide access to each of the proposed residential lots,
Afton Way will be extended an additional 175 feet to the west and will terminate at a proposed cul-de-
sac. The proposed extension of Afton Way will include a curb, gutter and a sidewalk on both sides and
around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. In addition, access to panhandle lots 2 and 3 will be provided by
a 20-foot-wide shared driveway off of Afton Way. To ensure that no development is proposed on the
open space lot located at the northwest boundary of the project area and adjacent to Carlsbad Village
Drive, the applicant proposes an open space easement which will be recorded as part of the final map.
Project grading to create the lots and construct the extension to Afton Way includes approximately
17,000 cubic yards (CY) of cut and 6,900 CY of fill. Therefore, a total of 10,100 cubic yards is proposed to
be exported from the site. Due to the sloped nature of the property, a mixture of 2:1 cut and fill slopes
are proposed to create each of the building pads. To support several of the cut slopes and allow for a
flat building pad, retaining walls up to five (5) feet in height are proposed at the base of the cut slopes.
In addition, a series of tiered retaining walls up to eight (8) feet in height are proposed on the lot which
will be developed with the detention basin. Landscaping is proposed at the base of the walls to screen
the views from Carlsbad Village Drive. To address the exterior noise requirements for the future
residencies, a six-foot-tall sound wall is proposed to be constructed at the top of the slope and around
the northern perimeter of Lots 7 and 8. The required sound wall will be constructed as part of the
grading operations for the project site. Finally, all existing vegetation located on-site is proposed to be
removed to implement the project, including a small patch (0.18-acres) of unoccupied Diegan Coastal
Sage Scrub.

Pursuant to Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC), a Tentative Tract Map (CT) is required to
subdivide the property into eight (8) single-family lots, one (1) open space lot and one (1) detention
basin lot. As the site contains hillside conditions that include slopes greater than 15 feet in height with a
gradient equal to or greater than 15%, a Hillside Development Permit is required pursuant to the city’s
Hillside Development Ordinance, CMC Chapter 21.95. As sensitive upland habitat is proposed to be
removed, a Habitat Management Plan Permit is required pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.210.
III. ANALYSIS
The project is subject to the following plans, ordinances and standards:
A. Residential Low to Medium Density (RLM) General Plan Land Use designation;
B. Residential Agricultural Zone, 10,000 square foot minimum lot size (R-A-10,000, C.M.C. Chapter
21.08) with a Qualified (Q) Development Overlay (C.M.C. Chapter 21.06);
C. Hillside Development Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter21.95);
D. Habitat Preservation and Management Requirements (C.M.C. Chapter 21.210);
E. Inclusionary Housing (C.M.C. Chapter 21.85);
F. Subdivision Ordinance (C.M.C. Title 20); and
G. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90) and Zone 1 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 the sections below.
A. General Plan
The General Plan Land Use designation for the project site is Residential, Low - Medium Density (RLM).
The RLM designation allows for low to medium density residential development at 0 to 4 du/ac with a
GMCP of 3.2 du/ac; which is used also for the purposes of calculating the city’s compliance with
Government Code §65584. The project site has a net developable acreage of 4.21 acres allowing for
13.47 dwelling units to be developed at the GMCP. Given the required minimum lot size of 10,000
square feet, as well as and the constraints on the site, a total of 8 single-family residential parcels with
an overall density of 1.9 du/ac can be accommodated, which is 5.47 units below the GMCP. Pursuant to
Government Code §65863, the City may not reduce the residential density on any parcel below that
which was used by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in determining
compliance with Housing Element law, unless the City makes findings that the reduction of residential
density is consistent with the adopted General Plan, including the Housing Element; and that the
remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the city’s share of the
regional housing need pursuant to Government Code §65584.
CT 14-06/HDP 14-05/HMP 15-03 – AFTON WAY
September 2, 2015
Page 4
The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan since the proposed density of 1.9 du/ac is within
the RLM density range of 0 to 4 du/ac as specified for the site. The project’s proposed density of 1.9
du/ac is below the GMCP density (3.2 du/ac) used for the purposes of calculating the city’s compliance
with Government Code §65584. However, consistent with Program 3.2 of the city’s Certified Housing
Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the city’s share of the
regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects are deposited into the
City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are available for allocation to other
projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties
identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity adequate to
satisfy the city’s share of the regional housing need. Therefore, 5.47 dwelling units will be deposited
into the city’s excess dwelling unit bank.
In addition to the above, the project also complies with the Elements of the General Plan as outlined in
Table C below:

unfavorable conditions resulting from unusual
topography, surrounding land development, or lot
configuration; and
Panhandle lot will not preclude or adversely affect
the ability to provide full public street access to
other properties within the same block of the
subject property.
Because of the unique shape of
the existing lot, the proposal for
three (3) panhandle lots is
necessary to bring the project’s
density closer to the Growth
Management Control Point of
3.2 du/ac. Further, property
access to the site is allowed only
from Afton Way as Carlsbad
Village Drive is designated as a
Secondary Arterial road.
The adjacent properties to the

C. Hillside Development Regulations
As discussed in Section II above, the site is located upon a moderately-inclined slope descending in the
northeasterly direction. The highest elevation of the property, 282 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), is
located at the southwest corner of the property. Excluding the remainder parcel, the lowest elevation
of the property, 205 feet AMSL, is located at the northeast corner of the property. An existing plantable
retaining wall up to 18 feet in height and slopes in excess of 40% are located along the northern
boundary of the property, adjacent to Carlsbad Village Drive. As the site contains hillside conditions that
include slopes greater than 15 feet in height with a gradient equal to or greater than 15%, a Hillside
Development Permit is required pursuant to the city’s Hillside Development Ordinance (CMC Chapter
21.95).
Grading proposed in conjunction with the creation of the subdivision totals 17,000 cubic yards of cut
and 6,900 cubic yards of fill. As a result, a total of 10,100 cubic yards is proposed to be exported from
the site. Due to the sloped nature of the property, a mixture of 2:1 cut and fill slopes are proposed to
create each of the building pads. To support several of the cut slopes and to accommodate flat building
pads, retaining walls up to five (5) feet in height are proposed at the base of the cut slopes. In addition,
a series of tiered retaining walls up to eight (8) feet in height are proposed on the lot which will be
developed with the detention basin. Landscaping is proposed at the base of the walls to screen the view
of the walls from Carlsbad Village Drive. The grading design is consistent with the intent of the Hillside
Ordinance, Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 21.95 since the proposal includes 2:1 (minimum)
slopes which will be contour graded, where practicable. In addition, the slopes do not exceed a height
of 40 feet and the proposed quantity of grading, 5,059 cubic yards per acre, falls within the “acceptable”
range, 0-7,999 cubic yards per acre. The required findings for the Hillside Development Permit are
discussed in the attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 7122.
D. Habitat Preservation and Management
The City of Carlsbad’s Habitat Management Plan (HMP) identifies the 4.94-acre project site as a
“Development Area.” Additionally, the site is not located adjacent to or near any Standards Area or
Existing/Proposed Hardline Preserve Areas. Pursuant to a tree survey prepared for the project (Rocks
Biological Consulting, May, 2014), a number of non-native trees are located on-site, a majority of which
are eucalyptus trees (0.91 acres, HMP Habitat Group F). In addition, pursuant to the Biological
Resources Technical Report (Rocks Biological Consulting, September, 2014), a small patch of disturbed,
unoccupied Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (DCSS, 0.18 acres, HMP Habitat Group D), as well as Annual (non-
native) grassland (NNG, 1.27 acres, HMP Habitat Group E) is located on-site. No native or wetland
habitats or natural drainage areas were observed on the project site or within the vicinity.
Impacts to HMP Habitat Groups D and E are required to be mitigated at a 1:1 and 0.5:1 ratio,
respectively. Mitigation for habitat in Groups D and E which is not conserved or mitigated on-site,
requires the payment of an in-lieu fee on a per acre basis at the required ratio. Therefore, the impacts
to 0.18 acres of DCSS and 1.27 acres of NNG will require the payment of 0.18 and 0.64-acres of in-lieu
habitat impact fees, respectively. Pursuant to the HMP, Group-F habitats are also required to be
mitigated through payment of an in-lieu fee on a per acre basis. As there is 0.91 acres of eucalyptus
woodland, in-lieu fees are required for 0.91 acres. Pursuant to the HMP, the project has been
conditioned to pay the applicable habitat in-lieu fees for impacts to Habitat Groups D, E, and F. The
required findings for the Habitat Management Plan Permit are discussed in the attached Planning
Commission Resolution No. 7122.

E. Inclusionary Housing
For all residential development of seven (7) or more units, not less than 15% of the total units approved
shall be constructed and restricted both as to occupancy and affordability to lower-income households.
The proposal to subdivide the existing parcel into eight (8) single-family parcels results in the
requirement to construct one inclusionary housing unit. Consistent with C.M.C. Section 21.85.070(B),
the applicant proposes to construct one (1) second dwelling unit on either Lot 3, 7, or 8. A note is
included on the map to note this requirement. In addition, the project has been accordingly-
conditioned to require the recordation of an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to final map approval.
F. Subdivision Ordinance
The project includes a request to subdivide the existing parcel into eight (8) single-family lots, one (1)
open space lot, one (1) detention basin lot, and a remainder parcel. As more than four lots are
proposed to be created, the project is subject to the regulations of Chapter 20.16, Major Subdivisions, of
the Subdivision Ordinance. These subdivision regulations require the project to include required street
dedications and improvements (streets, sewer, water, and drainage) to serve the proposed subdivision.
The Land Development Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed Tentative Tract Map and has
concluded that the subdivision, as conditioned, complies with all applicable requirements of the
Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed project includes the extension
of Afton Way, which currently terminates approximately 170 feet from the intersection with Celinda
Drive to the east. As part of the proposed project, Afton Way will be extended an additional 175 feet to
the west and will terminate at a proposed cul-de-sac. Afton Way is currently improved with a curb and
gutter on both sides and a sidewalk on the south side. The proposed extension of Afton Way includes a
curb, gutter and a sidewalk on both sides and around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. General utility
and access easements will be dedicated on the final map to allow for the construction of project
drainage, sewer, and water facilities.
No variances are needed to approve the project. Given the above, the proposed subdivision would
provide all necessary facilities and improvements without producing land conflicts; therefore, the
project is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance.
G. Growth Management Ordinance
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant of
the City. The impacts on public facilities created by the project, and its compliance with the adopted
performance standards, are summarized in Table “F” below.

The unit yield of the property at the RLM GMCP (3.2 du/ac) is 13.47 dwelling units and 8 single-family
lots are proposed. The proposed project is, therefore, 5.47 units below the GMCP for RLM properties.
As a result, these units will be deposited in the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary
for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore
categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant
to Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) Class 32 Categorical Exemption of the State CEQA
Guidelines. The project is consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance; the project site is
within the City limits, is less than 5 acres in size, and is surrounded by urban uses; there is no evidence
that the site has value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project
will not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can
be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. In making this determination, the City
Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not
apply to this project. A Notice of Exemption will be filed by the City Planner upon final project approval.
