Environmental Review X
SDP 01-17 X
On May 15, 2002, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and recommended adoption
of the Negative Declaration and approval of SDP 01-17 for La Costa Greens Affordable Site (5-0
Dominguez and Whitton absent). The project site is located on a vacant lot at the northwest corner
of the future intersection of Alga Road and Estrella de Mar Road in Local Facilities Management
Zone 10. The project site is designated for development of a 180-unit affordable housing site in the
Villages of La Costa Master Plan which was recently approved by the City Council on October 23, 2001. Therefore, the project review focuses on the projects compliance with applicable development
standards and special requirements rather than suitability of the site for an affordable housing
project.
The development proposal would allow for the construction of 180 apartment units affordable to
households with incomes at 50% to 60% of the area median income. The project contains a mix of
1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units ranging in size from 757 sq. fl. to 1,354 sq. fl. As summarized in the
staff report, the project complies with all applicable development standards of the RD-M zone and
Villages of La Costa Master Plan with regard to density, building height, setbacks, parking,
landscaping, and special requirements of the Master Plan. The SDP findings for approval of the
project can be made and are outlined in detail in the staff report and resolutions.
A number of residents from the surrounding community spoke in opposition to the affordable housing
affordable housing. In addition, a neighborhood petition against the affordable housing project was
project and voiced concern about the traffic impacts of the project and suitability of this site for
submitted (attached). Representatives from the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce and League of
Women Voters voiced support for the affordable housing project. More detailed information
regarding the development proposal and public testimony is included in the attached staff report to
the Planning Commission and drafl Planning Commission minutes.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The proposed use was analyzed in the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-07) certified
for the Villages of La Costa Master Plan and related applications on October 23, 2001 by the City
Council. The environmental analysis for the project includes an Initial Study (Environmental
Assessment Form - Part II) which focuses on any changes from the project contemplated in the EIR
to what is proposed for this project. No additional significant adverse impacts were identified in the
initial study for this project. All mitigation measures applicable to this site have been completed, are
incorporated into the project design, or are required as conditions of approval for this project. In
I

consideration of the foregoing, on March 28, 2002 the Planning Director issued a Negative
Declaration for the proposed project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impacts to the City are negligible since all development fees are collected at the time of
final map and issuance of a building permit. All public facilities necessary to serve the development
will be in place prior to, or concurrent with, development.

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at
least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A(n)
EIFUNegative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to
be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact
Report (EIR 98-07) pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been
prepared.

Planning Direct2s SiHature Date

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human
factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR),
Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are
adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each
question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information
sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A
“No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or
it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
“Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted
general standards and policies.
“Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a
“Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the
effect to a less than significant level.
“Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an
effect is significant.
Based on an “EIA-Part 11”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant
effect on the environment, but &I potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or
Mitigated Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a
supplement to or supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required
by the prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no
additional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required
to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement of
Ovemding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence
that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
3 Rev. 03/28/96 13
e If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and
those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this
case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
0 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and including
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than
significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact has
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR (3) proposed mitigation measures do not
reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part I1 analysis it is not
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined
significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of a Site Development Plan to develop Neighborhood 1.15 in the southwest
comer of the La Costa Greens segment of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The project site
consists of 12.67 acres located on the northwest comer of the hture intersection of Alga Road
and Estrella Del Mar Road. The site will be bordered on the north by the extension of Dove
Lane and the two points of access to the project will be via this roadway. The development
proposal consists of the construction of 180 apartment units in eight separate building clusters.
The units within ths neighborhood will be utilized to satisfy the inclusionary housing
requirements for the La Costa Greens Village. Site grading to accommodate the building pads
and site circulation system, the installation of required infrastructure, and landscaping are
included as part of the development proposal. Mass grading of the project site was authorized as
part of the approval of the Master Tentative Map for La Costa Greens (CT 99-03) and is assumed
to be complete for purposes of establishing a baseline condition for this evaluation. The project
has been reviewed for compliance with EIR 98-07 for the Villages of La Costa Master Plan and
has been designed or will be conditioned to incorporate the applicable mitigation measures as
required.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project was evaluated in the Final Promam Environmental Impact Report for the
Villages of La Costa Master Plan (2000) MP 98-01 (EIR 98-07), dated July 16, 2001, T & B
Planning Consultants, Inc. EIR 98-07 evaluates the potential environmental effects of the
development and operation of the “Villages of La Costa Master Plan (2000)” and associated
actions. The “Villages of La Costa Master Plan (2000)” is a planning document which will
guide the development of 2,390 dwelling units and some non-residential land uses on a 1,866.4
gross acre area consisting of three villages. The Greens Village consists of 660.7 gross acres and
provides for a maximum of 1,038 residential units with some non-residential land uses. The
Ridge Village consists of 493.1 acres and provides for a maximum of 320 residential units. The
Oaks Village consists of 712.5 acres and a maximum of 1,032 residential units as well as a
community facilities site. The Greens (Zone 10) portion of the project is generally located
approximately 2,500 feet south of Palomar Airport Road, east of El Camino Real, north of Alga
Road, and west of Unicomio Street. The Ridge and Oaks (Zone 11) portion of the project site is
located north and east of La Costa Avenue, south of Alga Road, east of El Fuerte Street, and
straddles portions of Rancho Santa Fe Road.
EIR 98-07 analyzed the following environmental issue areas: Land Use and Community
Character, Landform Alteration, Visual Quality, Biological Resources, Archaeological
Resources, Paleontological Resources, Transportation, Noise, Air Quality, Geology/Soils,
Hydrology, Water Quality and Drainage, Public Facilities and Services, Human Health and
Safety Hazards, and Population and Housing. The Initial Study prepared for the Villages of La
Costa Master Plan and related action is included in Volume 1 of the Appendices for EIR 98-07
and analyzed additional issues, which were determined not to have a significant environmental
impact. The City of Carlsbad City Council certified EIR 98-07 on October 23, 2001. At that
time CEQA Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program were approved. All mitigation measures applicable to this
Neighborhood have been completed, incorporated into the project design or are required as
conditions of approval for the project. The EIR 98-07 “Statement of Overriding Considerations”
applies to all projects covered by the Villages of La Costa Final Program EIR. This project is
10 Rev. 03/28/96 OgO
within the scope of that Program EIR. EIR 98-07 is available at the Planning Department.
References to the applicable section of EIR 98-07 are provided next to each item on this
environmental impact assessment form. A brief explanation is provided in the following section
for each item checked as having a “potentially significant impact” or potentially significant
unless mitigation incorporated”. Each of these identified impacts were included in the adopted
Statement of Overriding Considerations:
IV. WATER
c) Water Quality
Impact. Development of the Proposed Project site would result in an increase in the cumulative
amounts of urban pollutants entering San Marcos Creek and Batiquitos Lagoon. Although the
cumulative contribution to urban runoff would be minimal and would not result in water
pollution and/or contamination that would significantly impact human health and safety or
biological communities, impacts are regarded as significant.
Finding. With the incorporation of the mitigation measures contained in Section 4.11 of
Program EIR 98-07, the identified direct significant impact would be avoided and thereby
reduced below a level of significance, but the proposed project‘s cumulative contribution to
cumulative impacts would remain significant and unmitigable.
The required mitigation measures include: (1) designing and incorporating the current Best
Management Practices and Best Available Technologies (BMPs and BATS) available at that time
for pollution control and erosiodsiltation control, as referenced in the “California Storm Water
Best Management Practices Handbook” and meeting all regulatory standards; (2) in conjunction
with the sale, rental or lease of a residence or business property, all prospective owners and
tenants shall be notified in writing of the requirements for properly disposing of toxic and
hazardous waste products; and (3) applicable standards of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the San Diego County area shall be met.
Factual Support and Rationale. The new storm water point source discharge requirements
apply to urban pollutant elimination. In addition, the project applicant will be required to
educate occupants as to the need to eliminate or reduce general residential pollution entering the
storm drain systems. Regulating the source, plus onsite detention and filtering, all consistent
with the RWQCB order No. 2001-1, will further reduce urban pollutants from entering the
lagoon and ocean.
V. AIR OUALITY
a) Air quality
Impact. The proposed Project would generate 36,620 ADT. Mobile emissions would be below
significance thresholds, with the exception of CO (Carbon Monoxide) and NOx (Nitrogen
Oxides).
Finding. No feasible measures are available to mitigate this cumulative impact and the
cumulative impact remains cumulatively significant and unmitigated.
11 Rev. 03/28/96 21
Factual Support and Rationale. The reliance on the automobile for the future household
primary mode of transportation, given the entire SanDiego air basin's non-attainment status,
makes the incremental contribution from the Proposed Project to be cumulatively significant.
While the air quality in the region has been improving, the overall resolution will need to wait
cleaner burning, or less polluting, modes of personal transportation, and shifting the travel
patterns from single occupancy vehicles to carpooling, bus, bicycle and walking modes. This
represents as much a cultural as well as facility shift, but cannot realistically be fully
implemented with this Proposed Project. The Proposed Project does incorporate bike lanes, bus
stops and a range of hiking and walking trails in addition to sidewalks. Its proximity to
employment centers and recreation opportunities will also serve to reduce overall driving
distances as will the location of the multi-family housing near the transportation and employment
centers.
VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCUATION
a) Traffic in Year 2020
Impact. The addition of Proposed Project traffic and the construction of Proposed Project
improvements in 2020 would result in a significant impact to the intersection of El Camino
ReaWalomar Airport Road. Cumulative impacts would occur at several other intersections
within the City where the Proposed Project would contribute greater than 20% of the projected
traffic and to two intersections outside the City of Carlsbad.
Finding. With the incorporation of the mitigation measures listed in Section 4.7 of Program EIR
98-07, the identified direct significant impact would be avoided and thereby reduced below a
level of significance for all intersections within the City of Carlsbad, but not the intersections
impacted outside the City limits, and there will remain a cumulative significant impact unless
those intersections are improved by others.
Factual Support and Rationale. A particularly busy and important intersection in the city for
both local and regional traffic uses is the intersection of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport
Road. It is projected that two additional improvements may be called for in the 2010-20 horizon,
or as earlier determined by the City Engineer, and the Proposed Project is conditioned to
contribute its fair share to these improvements, namely construction of dual northbound and
westbound right turn lanes and a right turn overlap on the northbound and westbound
movements. These improvements and the funding will be triggered when the City Engineer
determines them to be necessary, but are expected in the designated time horizon. Similarly, as
determined necessary by the City Engineer, the Proposed Project is required to contribute its fair
share funding to the construction of an additional westbound right turn lane at the intersection of
El Camino Reamaraday Avenue. The identified improvements and payment of the Proposed
Project's fair share to intersection performance for Melrose Drive/Alga Road, further
improvements to Rancho Santa Fe RoadQuesthaven Road, El Camino Real/Alga Road, and
Rancho Santa FeMelrose Drive, will also assure the performance of these intersections will meet
the performance standards. Because the time horizon of 2010-20 is somewhat speculative, the
intersections will be monitored by the City Engineer in the intervening time and will be able to
trigger the fair share contribution when necessary.
As to the two intersections outside the city, namely, Rancho Santa Fe Road intersections with
Linda Vista and Grand Avenue, both in the City of San Marcos, the City of Carlsbad does not
have jurisdiction and under CEQA Guidelines 15091, the responsibilities are those of the City of
12 Rev. 03/28/96 22
San Marcos, and should be undertaken by them. Carlsbad understands that the City of San
Marcos does have future improvement plans for Rancho Santa Fe Road from Carlsbad to
Highway 78, including the subject intersections.
x. NOISE
a) Increases in existing noise levels
Off-Site Vehicular Noise.
Impact. The Proposed Project's three dB contribution to the existing vehicular noise south of La
Costa Greens where existing single-family homes have direct street frontage on Alga Road is
considered cumulatively significant.
Finding. No feasible measures are available to mitigate this cumulative impact and the
cumulative impact remains cumulatively significant and unmitigable.
Factual Support and Rationale. The existing noise levels along the south side of Alga Road
and the resulting impact on multi-family and single family residences is a difficult problem.
Individual single-family yards and driveways exit directly onto Alga Road between El Camino
Real and Alicante Road, and two story condominium units have close proximity to travel lanes.
The existing road noise exceeds the 45 dB CNEL interior and 60 dB CNEL exterior standards at
various times during the day from traffic. The City General Plan Noise Element Policy C.8
states:
"Recognize the mitigation of existing or future noise impacts from Circulation Element
roadways, AT&SF railroad or McClellan-Palomar Airport for existing or future development
within the City, shall not be hnded by the City. However, the City shall assist applicants with
processing of necessary permits for mitigating noise on private property, which permits may
include right-of-way permits, encroachment permits, retaining wall permits and zoning
variances. The City shall also assist property owners in the establishment of assessment districts,
to fund noise mitigation improvements, in accordance with established City policies and
procedures."
The number of exiting driveway cuts and the fact that two story condominium homes front Alga
Road preclude use of sound walls as the "driveway breaks" and height do not substantially block
the road noise based on the acoustical studies and analysis, resulting in no effective means of
significantly lessening the existing noise levels. Further, the incremental contribution of the
Proposed Project, less the 3 dB (which is undetectable to the human ear) does not justify the
imposition of mitigation on the Proposed Project directly, as to do so would be disproportionate
to its impacts and is unauthorized. Regrettably, this is a condition for which no effective
mitigation presently exists. However, pursuant to Policy C.8 noted above, should the affected
property owners wish to independently pursue a resolution, then the city would facilitate as
indicated. In the past, there has not been a uniform or generally accepted remedy presented by
the affected properties. Elimination of impacted homes and condominiums is not a feasible
alternative.
X. AESTHETICS
a) Visual Quality and Aesthetics
13 Rev. 03/28/96 23
Creation of Manufactured Slopes.
Impact. Implementation of the La Costa Greens and La Costa Ridge/Oaks Master Tentative
Maps will result in the creation of manufactured slopes over 40 feet in height. In its final graded
condition, La Costa Greens would contain 11 manufactured slopes over 40 feet in height and La
Costa Ridge/Oaks would contain 13 manufactured slopes over 40 feet in height.
Finding. With the incorporation of the mitigation measures listed in section 4.2 of Program EIR
98-07, the identified direct significant impact would be significantly lessened, but not avoided
and thereby reduced below a level of significance. The required mitigation measures include: (1)
Obtaining a Hillside Development Permit; (2) Obtain any necessary exclusions or modifications
pursuant to Carlsbad Municipal Code 521.95.130 and 521.95.140, respectively, for manufactured
slopes over 40 feet in height; (3) Comply with the City’s Excavation and Grading Ordinance
(515.06, Carlsbad Municipal Code); (4) Submit grading information for review by city staff with
each tentative subdivision map; (5) Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the City shall verify
that proposed grading complies with the grading standards and manufactured slope revegetation
within the boundaries defined by the Villages of La Costa Master Plan (2000); and (6) The
Proposed Project shall comply with the Master Plan Landscape Sections and the City of Carlsbad
Landscape Manual.
Factual Support and Rationale. The Planning and Engineering staff have worked extensively
with the applicant to reduce the number, height and length of manufactured slopes over 40 feet
tall, as that has been adopted as the City standard for determining significance. Given the
controlling features of the topography and the fact that the HCP/OMSP set aside considerable
portions of the flatter property for habitat preservation and protection, all slopes in excess of 40
feet have not been eliminated entirely. The adopted mitigation measures will not fully mitigate
the impacts, but will substantially lessen them by requiring contour grading, special planting
palettes depending on the proximity to native habitat, additional benching and surface drainage
structures and additional features intended to minimize the appearance of these higher slopes. A
number of the slopes are required in order to construct circulation element roads, where grade
and width are factors. The slopes in question are identified in the FEIR at Table 4.2-6 (Greens)
and Table 4.2-9 (RidgdOaks) and the accompanying figures.
View Blockage of Significant Public Resources and Change in Overall Scenic Quality.
Impact. Implementation of the Proposed Project would not block public views to significant
public resources, with the exception of views from the future alignment of Rancho Santa Fe
Road with La Costa RidgdOaks, where views to the west would be partially blocked by
landscaped slopes. The .essentially natural view of the Proposed Project site would change to a
largely man-made appearance for approximately one-half of the overall project site which,
combined with other development projects in the site vicinity, is regarded as cumulatively
significant.
Finding. With the incorporation of the mitigation measures listed in Section 4.3 of Program EIR
98-07, the identified direct significant impact would be substantially lessened and reduced, but
not thereby reduced below a level of significance. The required mitigation measures include: (1)
At least twenty percent (20%) of the residential units along a ridgelinehilltop, which are visible
from a circulation element roadway, shall be single-story. The applicable areas are identified in
the Villages of La Costa Master Plan; (2) Homes adjacent to and visible from Circulation
Element Roads [El Camino Real, Alga Road, Alicante Road, Poinsettia Lane, El Fuerte Street,
Rancho Santa Fe Road, Questhaven Road and Melrose Drive] shall receive special attention to
14 Rev. 03/28/96 044
detailing on the elevation fronting the roads as required by the Villages of La Costa Master Plan
(2000); (3) The City shall verify that proposed structures comply with the architectural and site
planning standards contained in the Village of La Costa Master Plan (2000); and (4) Walls and
fences located 15 feet or less from a public street shall provide recesses for landscaping and
variations in materials such that relief shall occur at elevational and directional changes.
Factual Support and Rationale. The Proposed Project represents a large infill project in the
already substantially developed La Costa portion of the City. While 834.9 acres of the Project is
permanently preserved in natural HCP Open Space, and another 168.4 acres preserved in
additional open space, the Proposed Project will convert approximately 51% of the total site to
suburban development, including housing, businesses, roads, parks, and community facilities
areas. Overall, the aesthetic impact resulting from the conversion of undeveloped areas in and
around the Proposed Project from natural or undeveloped lands to suburban uses, will result in an
overall and cumulatively significant aesthetic impact as the City and the surrounding region
continues to develop and provide housing, jobs and public facilities for current and future
citizens.

affordable apartments located at the northwest comer of the intersection of Alga
Road and the future Estrella de Mar Road extension in Local Facilities
Management Zone 10.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 5192 and 5193
RECOMMENDING ADOPTION of the Negative Declaration and RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL of SDP 01-17 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
11. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a site development plan that would create 180 affordable
apartments within La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.15 of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan.
The units in this project will be utilized to comply with the inclusionary housing obligations for
the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The City Council has the final authority to approve
projects proposing over 50 dwelling units. Therefore, the Planning Commission is being asked
to make a recommendation of approval for the project. The project will not have a significant
impact on the environment and a Negative Declaration has been issued for the project. As
designed and conditioned, the project is in conformance with the General Plan, Villages of La
Costa Master Plan (MP 98-01), Villages of La Costa Final Program Environmental Impact
Report (EIR 98-07), and the relevant Zoning Chapters of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. There
are no unresolved project issues, and findings can be made for approval of the project.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The Villages of La Costa Master Plan (MP 98-01) was approved by the City Council on October
23, 2001. The purpose of the Master Plan is to provide for the orderly development of the
Villages of La Costa site, while preserving the environmental resources of the area. Grading for
the entire Master Plan area was approved under Hillside Development Permit HDP 99-02. For
planning purposes, the Villages of La Costa Master Plan is divided into 3 Villages with a total of
38 planning areas. The Master Plan identifies the allowable type and intensity of land uses in
each village and provides general development and design standards, requirements, and the
method by which the Villages of La Costa Master Plan will be implemented.
SDP 01-17 - LA COSTA GREENS AFFORDABLE SITE
May 15,2002
The 12.67 acre project site is located in the PC Zone within the boundaries of the Villages of La
Costa Master Plan. The site, which is identified as La Costa Greens Neighborhood 1.15, is
designated for development of up to 180 units which will be utilized to comply with the
inclusionary housing requirements of the Master Plan. The site is located on the north side of
Alga Road, east of the West Bluff Shopping Center. It will be bounded on the north by the
extension of Dove Lane, and on the east by the extension of Estrella de Mar Road. The site
slopes steeply downward towards the east and is covered with scrub vegetation and trees.
Undeveloped land with scrub vegetation is located north of the site. The east portion of the site
is bordered by a portion of the La Costa Country Club golf course. Residential development
exists south of the site and commercial development is located to the west of the site.
Access to the site is via two entrance points on Dove Lane. The vehicular circulation system
encircles the buildings and provides access to the residences, covered parking spaces and open
resident and guest parking areas. The central portion of the project consists of clusters of two-
and three-story apartment buildings, a community recreation center, and a large landscaped open
space area. Walkways throughout the landscaped open space provide pedestrian connections
between buildings and recreation areas. The community center, which serves as a focal point at
the primary project entrance, is broken into two wings. The two buildings total 5,200 square feet
and contain a large community room with a kitchen, exercise room, computer room, offices, and
laundry facilities. The courtyard between the buildings connects to a larger open space
recreation area which includes a large turf area, tot lot, and a covered barbeque and seating area.
There are three different configurations for the apartment buildings. As shown on the
architectural plans, Building Types I and I1 are similar two-story structures containing 7 and 8
dwelling units respectively. The three-story Type 111 structure is made up of three separate
buildings attached in a “U shaped configuration by a series of elevated walkways. Building
Type 111 contains 33 units in each cluster. The buildings all have stucco exteriors with hipped
roofs covered with terra cotta flashed ‘‘s” tile. All sides of the building are well designed with a
great deal of articulation on the building planes including pop-outs, arched elements, wrought
iron balcony railings, and stuccoed door, window, and fascia trim. Each unit contains either a
porch, a patio, or a balcony. Both the two and three-story structures contain single-story
elements to visually reduce the mass of the building. Covered parking spaces are provided in
each of the building types and are accessed via a motor court with enhanced paving. Abundant
landscaping and enhanced paving accents the development at the main entrance and is carried on
throughout the site. A decorative site wall, which surrounds the project on the north, south, and
west sides, will screen parked vehicles from the surrounding public views.
The 180 units proposed will be 100% affordable to households with incomes not exceeding 70%
of the median income for San Diego County. The project contains a mix of 32 one-bedroom
units ranging in size from 757 to 858 sq. A; 39 two-bedroom units ranging in size from 896 to
1,042 sq. ft; 79 three-bedroom units ranging in size from 1,008 to 1,085 sq. A; and 30 four-
bedroom units containing 1,354 square feet. The affordable housing agreement must be finalized
and approved prior to issuance of building permits for either the affordable units or the market
rate units within the Master Plan. The agreement will allow the developer to obtain building
permits for 340 market rate units prior to beginning construction of the affordable housing
project. Once foundations for all 180 affordable units are inspected and approved, building
permits may be issued for up to 340 additional market rate units. After the final Certificate of
SDP 01-17 - LA COSTA GREENS AFFORDABLE SITE
May 15,2002
Page 3
Occupancy is issued for the affordable units, the last 340 market rate building permits may be
issued.
The site is identified as Lot 15 of Carlsbad Tract CT 99-03. This Master Tentative Map has not
yet been approved and this project is conditioned so that building permits may not be issued until
a legal lot is created through recordation of the final map for CT 99-03. In addition, as part of
the requirements andor mitigation measures for the Master Tentative Map, the developer will be
required to provide all public facilities necessary to serve the project in accordance with the Zone
10 Local Facilities Management Plan. This includes, but is not limited to installation of the
surrounding roadways, infrastructure, and traffic signal at the intersection of Alga Road and
Estrella De Mar Road.
Rough grading for the site was reviewed in conjunction with the Master Plan and approved by
Hillside Development Permit HDP 99-02. The project will require approximately 8,700 cubic
yards of cut, 54,500 cubic yards of fill, and 45,800 cubic yards of import for final grading of the
site to accommodate the circulation system and building pads. The required mitigation for loss
of habitat on this site was previously considered with the review of the Master Plan and will be
required prior to approval of grading permits for the Master Tentative Map.

B. Villages of La Costa Master Plan (and underlying RD-M zone)
The Master Plan requires development in Neighborhood 1.1 5 to comply with the standards of the
RD-M zone unless otherwise specified. Development is also required to comply with standards
and design guidelines outlined in the Master Plan. As discussed below, the proposed project is
consistent with all Master Plan and zoning requirements.
The Master Plan designates Neighborhood 1.15 as one of the affordable housing sites for the
Master Plan due to its proximity to major arterials, public transit, neighborhood shopping
centers, and public library facilities. The Master Plan allows 180 dwelling units on this site.
This calculation was based on the Master Plan analysis of the grosshet acreage of neighborhoods
1.15 and 1.16. As illustrated in Table 2 below, the project is also consistent with all
development standards and design guidelines required by both the RD-M zone and the La Costa
Greens Development Plans for Neighborhood 1.15.

C. Inclusionary Housing (Chapters 21.85 and 21.53 of the Zoning Ordinance)
The Villages of La Costa Master Plan is required to provide affordable housing in conformance
with the requirements of the Inclusionsary Housing Ordinance, Section 21.85 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code. The affordable housing requirements of the Master Plan will be met through
the construction of two combined inclusionary projects. The total number of affordable units
required is based on the maximum number of units allowed by the Tentative Maps approved
within the Master Plan. The Master Plan permits a maximum of 2,390 dwelling units within the
various neighborhoods. Based on this figure, 359 units or 15% of the total units proposed must
be affordable to low income households. This project proposes 180 affordable units which
would allow for the construction of 1,020 market rate units. Of the required affordable units,
10% must be three bedroom units. The project contains 79 three-bedroom and 30 four-bedroom
units for a total of 60% of the units containing three or more bedrooms. The required findings
for compliance with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance include consistency with General Plan
goals and policies,. adequacy of the site and street system, and a determination that the affordable
units are compatible with surrounding uses, and will not adversely impact the site or surrounding
areas including traffic circulation.

SDP 01-17 - LA COSTA GREENS AFFORDABLE SITE
May 15,2002
Page 7
The project site is located at the northwest comer of the future intersection of Alga Road and
Estrella De Mar Road, and is bound on the north by the future Dove Lane extension. The
location is close to major routes to jobs throughout north San Diego County and is adjacent to
bus stops on Alga Road and El Camino Real. The site is also within close proximity of two
commercial centers and the Dove Library. The site was analyzed and selected as an affordable
housing site in the Villages of La Costa Master Plan due to its ideal location. The project is
compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial development and the site is suitable
for the proposed use.
D. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 10 in the southeast
quadrant of the City and is subject to the conditions of the Zone 10 LFMP. The 180 units
planned for this neighborhood, together with a maximum of 96 units allowed in future
Neighborhood 1.16, is below the number of units permitted under Growth Management based on
the RMH Growth Management Control Point of 11.5 du. ac. The impacts on public facilities
created by this project, and its compliance with the adopted performance standards, are
summarized in Table 3 below.
TABLE 3 - GROWTH MANAGEMENT
*The project is 0 units below the Growth Management dwelling unit allowance.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed use was analyzed in the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-07)
certified for the Villages of La Costa Master Plan and related applications on October 23, 2001
by the City Council. Mitigation required for the grading plan and final map which will permit
rough grading of the project area has been applied. Mitigation measures incorporated into the
project include a 30 foot average landscape setback along Alga Road and special architectural
detailing on building elevations which face Alga Road. Additionally, a supplemental acoustical
analysis was submitted which identifies a number of units facing Alga Road which will require
additional noise mitigation, as was anticipated in the Program EIR. The environmental analysis
for the project includes an Initial Study (Environmental Assessment Form - Part 11) which
SDP 01-17 - LA COSTA GREENS AFFORDABLE SITE
May 15,2002
Page 8
focuses on any changes from the project contemplated in the EIR to what is proposed for this
project. No additional significant adverse impacts were identified in the initial study for this
project. All mitigation measures applicable to this site have been completed, are incorporated
into the project design, or are required as conditions of approval for this project. In consideration
of the foregoing, on March 28,2002 the Planning Director issued a Negative Declaration for the
proposed project.

4. SDP 01-17 - LA COSTA GREENS AFFORDABLE SITE - Request for approval of a Negative
Declaration and Site Development Plan to construct 180 affordable apartments located at the
northwest corner of the intersection of Alga Road and the future Estrella de Mar Road extension in
Local Facilities Management Zone 10.
Mr. Wayne introduced agenda item #4 and stated that the Commission’s action is advisory due to the
Associate Planner, would be making the presentation.
number of units involved and will be forwarded to the City Council. He added that Barbara Kennedy,
Chairperson Trigas opened the public hearing.
Barbara Kennedy, Associate Planner, stated that the applicant is requesting approval of a Site
Development Plan for a 180-unit affordable apartment project, which is part of the Villages of La Costa
Master Plan that was approved by the City Council in October 2001. The 12.67 acre site is in the Greens
of Alga Road and Estrella de Mar Road. She described the areas surrounding the project and showed
Development Area, designated as Area 1.15 and located at the northwest corner of the future intersection
photos of the site from the various directions.
Ms. Kennedy stated that the site is zoned Planned Community (PC) with an underlying zone of RD-M and
the General Plan designation for the site is Residential Medium High Density. She said it was specifically
designated as an affordable housing site in the Master Plan and 180 units are allowed in this
neighborhood. There will be a mix of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units ranging in size from 757 to 1,354
square feet. All units will be affordable to households with incomes at 50-60% of the area median income.
The project will satisfy the inclusionary housing requirements for 1,020 market rate units within the Master
Plan.
Ms. Kennedy pointed out Dove Lane and the future extension of Estrella de Mar Road on the site plan,
stating those roads will be extended as part of the improvements required of the master developer. She
stated that a traffic signal will be located at the intersection of Alga Road and Estrella de Mar Road and
access to the site will be from two different points on Dove Lane. The interior driveway system encircles
will surround the project and screen offsite views towards the parked vehicles. She added that the master

developer will install walls and landscaping around the perimeter of the site. The units consist of 2 and 3
story building clusters and each unit has a private porch, patio, or balcony. There are also small
courtyards with built-in seating areas located throughout the project. A community recreation building is
located near the main project entrance and connects to a centralized open space featuring a large turf
area, tot lot, and barbecue and seating areas. The extensively landscaped open space has walkways that connect the buildings to each other and to the recreation area.

Ms. Kennedy stated that the proposed use and density is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. The site is ideal for affordable housing due to its
proximity to major arterials, public transit, shopping, employment opportunities, and public library facilities.
She added that the project is subject to and complies with the growth management requirements of Zone
10 with regard to the 11 public facility performance standards.
Ms. Kennedy stated that the project will be 100% affordable, is consistent with the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance, and will satisfy part of the inclusionary housing requirements for the Villages of La Costa
Master Plan. The project was analyzed in the program EIR for the Villages of La Costa Master Plan and
Planning Commission Minutes May 15,2002 Page 4
mitigation measures outlined in the EIR have been incorporated into the project design, or are included as
conditions of approval. The environmental review for this project focused on any changes from the project
that were contemplated in the EIR to what is proposed in this project. No significant changes or environmental impacts were identified, therefore, a negative declaration has been prepared for this
project.

Ms. Kennedy stated that the applicant requested that they change the name of the developer from
accepted, and there is an Errata Sheet to make that change on Resolutions 5192 and 5193. Dove Family
Housing is a limited partnership of Community Housing of North County and Mercy Housing as shown on
the disclosure statement attached to the Staff Report. Ms. Kennedy added that Staff has no objections to
this request.
Ms. Kennedy concluded by saying that the City Council will be the final decision-maker because the
project contains over 50 units and the Commission’s action will be a recommendation to the City Council.
She said Staff feels the project meets all findings for approval and recommends adoption.
Commissioner Segall asked if North County Transit would have any bus stops adjacent to the property.

Ms. Kennedy said they do not have plans for service along Alga Road but there is a bus stop on El
there is a pedestrian access way that connects through to Alga Road.
Commissioner Segall asked if there would be a walkway going to Alga Road. Ms. Kennedy replied that
Commissioner Segall asked what 50-60% of median income meant in terms of annual salaries. Ms.
Kennedy stated that it varies depending on the number of people in the household. As an example, the
annual median income for a four-person household is $60,100. 60% would be $36,060 and 50% is
$30,050. Commissioner Segall commented that these households could include teachers, City
employees, people employed by banks, GIA, etc. Ms. Kennedy responded that is correct.
Commissioner White asked about the project‘s impact on traffic. in particular at the intersection of Dove
analysis for this project was included in the Master Plan and the analysis of that intersection was done with
Lane and El Camino Real in regard to the West Bluff Shopping Plaza. Mr. Wojcik responded that the trip
the Master Plan. They found that there would be no significant impact to the intersection as far as going
beneath the City’s Growth Management Standards for that intersection. No additional mitigation was
required or noted in the traffic report for that intersection.
Commissioner White asked if an impact should develop for the shopping plaza, would there be recourse
or future discussion of what might need to be done to that intersection as far as lanes going north on El
Camino Real. Mr. Wojcik stated that the Traffic Division and Engineering would take care of those types
of inquiries and complaints, and if there is a need for additional lanes that would typically be added to the
City’s Capital Improvement Program. He added that if there is an unforeseen impact that can be directly
tied to the project or if there are portions of the project that had not received their conditions of approval at
that time, then additional conditions could be added. But by the time this particular project goes to City
Council for approval, no additional conditions could be added.
Commissioner Heineman asked if units for disabled persons would be on the first floor since there were
no elevators in the 2 and 3 story buildings. Mr. Wojcik replied that all handicapped accessible units would
be rented on the first floor.
that it ends at the intersection with Estrella de Mar.
Commissioner Baker asked if Dove Lane continues to the east beyond this project. Mr. Wojcik replied
there was even less impact than the intersection of Dove Lane and El Camino Real. He said there would

traffic would use that intersection than would use El Camino Real and Dove Lane. He said Estrella de Mar be a smaller percentage of project-generated traffic at that intersection. The analysis stated 5 times less

Planning Commission Minutes May 15,2002 Page 5
Chairperson Trigas asked if the percentage of cars that would take Dove Lane to Estrella de Mar, then go across to the south is very small. Mr. Wojcik replied it would be because the speed limits on Estrella de
Mar are significantly lower than on El Camino Real so those wanting to take the fastest route would use
Alga Road and El Camino Real rather than going through a residential area. He said there may be some

that the Staff Report was written to comply with the Master Plan, which required it to be 70% or less. She
said they now have a draft affordable agreement from the Housing Department and they indicated that the

Commissioner Segall, said the Staff Report says once the foundations for all 180 units are inspected and
potential to increase the number from 180. Ms. Kennedy replied that this project is 180 units, but the 340 market rate refers to the future subdivision market rate single family homes in another area of the Master
Plan, not in the Greens.
Commissioner Segall asked her to refer to the map and wanted to make sure there were two entrances to
satisfy the City Council’s concerns regarding ingress and egress. Ms. Kennedy pointed out the two
entrance points of the site and stated it meets the Council concerns.
Chairperson Trigas stated that an Errata Sheet dated May 15, 2001 is included changing the name. She
also wanted to make sure the applicant wished to proceed with a 5-member Commission. The applicant
responded they wished to proceed.
Fred Arbuckle, President of Morrow Development, the master developer for the Villages of La Costa,
stated the development is comprised of three new villages and has been in the planning for 12 years. La

great knowledge of North County, and is committed to the long term. He believes they will be a great
operator who is not only going to build a good looking project but will take care of it.
Anne Wilson, Community Housing of North County, 1820 South Escondido Blvd., Escondido stated that
Dove Family Housing is a partnership between two experienced non-profit affordable housing
development organizations. Community Housing of North County is located in Escondido and developed

housing throughout San Diego County for over 14 years. Mercy Housing California is a statewide
affordable housing non-profit that has also developed over 22 years throughout California. She said they
have an experienced in-house property management company, and national and statewide reputations
with banks, lenders, as well as foundations. She said they have award-winning designs and both are known for their strong resident support. Each organization has received multiple awards from American
Redevelopment Organizations, the American Planning Association, Golden Nugget, and the Urban Land
Institute of Architects, California Redevelopment Association, the National Association of Housing and
nationally. Mercy Property Management manages 125 properties in 9 states, has 17 years of experience,
Institute. Their designs, operations, management and services have been recognized statewide and
an asset management department, and is nationally recognized.
Ms. Wilson stated that as a management entity they have some unique controls built into their
developments and some unique mission based controls. Their purpose is to provide quality, safe
affordable housing to families in the lower income categories. She said people have to comply and go
through a rigorous application process and they have rules tolerating no drugs or violence on site. She
said their properties are so well managed and if someone violates they have every incentive in the world to
correct that or they have to leave. She said it's a privilege to be able to live in an affordable housing
development like this and in their screening process they sometimes even do home site visits to see what their current conditions are. She believes that, as affordable housing developers, they are often held to a
who monitor their financial health. Every year they have to submit audited financials and are also
higher standard than market rate developers because they are scrutinized both by the city and by lenders
monitored by the people who fund them. She said the City of Carlsbad has the power to replace the
management company if they're not performing.
Ms. Wilson said they are known for their strong resident support programs. They build learning centers in
their community centers. They have after school homework clubs where children come in and they have
to do their homework before they can do other activities. She said they try to reinforce education as a
value in the community and have adult education on site and referrals to other places in the community
that provide it. They have a computer center on site with internet access for both the children and adults
to use for homework, resumes, and seeking jobs. She added that they have staff to set up activities and
engage the community leadership and develop leadership to help people run it and support it through
volunteers. They are there to help build community and make it a safe and supportive environment.
Ms. Wilson pointed out other affordable housing in Carlsbad and indicated that their architect designed the
Laurel Tree Apartments, Vista Las Flores, and Carrillo Ranch. She said they hope to remain in this
tradition of high quality design and high quality management. She stated they are here to stay for the long
term and said they actually signed documents to keep it affordable for at least 55 years.
Jack Henthorn, 5365 Avenida Encinas. Suite A, Carlsbad, stated he was representing Dove Family
Associates. He briefly described the project and stated that 48% of the site plan is set aside in
would normally be required in a Carlsbad apartment project. About 27.5% of the site is in building
landscaped area and 25% of the parking area is landscaped. Both of these percentages exceed what
coverage with the remaining areas being split between the landscaped area and parking. He said they
exceed the City's parking standards and of the 397 spaces, 122 are carport spaces. The prototype for this project is a luxury apartment complex that's on the ground in San Diego. Mr. Henthorn said they used
a lot of sensitivity in trying to design the project and have incorporated a variety of facades and quite a bit
of architectural detail to enhance the visual appearance of the project.
Mr. Henthorn added that a very strong point in the site plan is the recreational aspect. There is a
community building in excess of 5,000 square feet that will incorporate both an exercise area and a
computer center for the benefit of the residents. There is a central tot lot associated with the community
building. Each building complex contains a couple of passive courtyard areas and all amenities are interconnected with a pedestrian way. There are also provisions for bicycle racks and they encourage the
use of bicycles to commute around the site. Mr. Henthorn concluded stating that they concur with the
recommendations of Staff.
Commissioner Segall asked Ms. Wilson if a learning center would be included in this project. Ms. Wilson
responded they are planning to build a learning center in the community center.
Planning Commission Minutes May 15,2002 Page 7
Commissioner Segall wanted to know what Santa Barbara Mediterranean architecture means. Mr.
Arbuckle responded that as part of the master plan they developed storyboards for each village to
illustrate the character in each village. Within the Greens, the predominant character is Santa Barbara
style, meaning the materials used is what you would find in downtown Santa Barbara at the City Hall, and
plant materials that are more indicative of a Mediterranean area. He said they will utilize that style of
architecture in all of their community facilities as well as in the Greens.
Commissioner Baker asked if there is any mechanism or if they care if more than one family resides in a
4-bedroom unit and if there are any rules on the number of individuals allowed to occupy a unit. Ms.
Wilson said they generally qualify a household, which could be a mother, a 19 or 20 year old, and a
grandmother. They qualify the household on income. She said they do not often find different families living in the same unit, but there might be extended families. Generally, the maximum occupancy is two
per bedroom.
Commissioner Baker asked how upkeep and maintenance functions are performed. Ms. Wilson replied
who work for the management company and fully maintain the property at all times.
that they hire maintenance staff and thought there would be two full-time maintenance staff on this project
Commissioner Baker asked how long-term maintenance issues are handled. Ms. Wilson stated they
always have replacement reserves in their budget for income and expenses and are required to have
those. She said they will hopefully receive funding from bond issuance and low income housing tax
credits, and all of them have a very rigorous replacement reserve requirement. They have many eyes on
them financially and are monitored annually to ensure they meet their set aside for reserves for long term
capital repairs.
Commissioner Baker asked that once someone is qualified to live in affordable housing do they
periodically have to provide financial information that they are still eligible to live in the property. Ms.
Wilson replied that income certification is required and monitored every year.
Commissioner Heineman, referring to her statement that Villa Loma, Carrillo Ranch, and Laurel Tree are

added that the Housing Staff could answer in more detail.

Chairperson Trigas asked what was considered when they went through the selection process to decide
who was going to build the project. Mr. Arbuckle replied he believed they interviewed 3 different groups 3
years ago. They looked at the history of projects they built and slides of them to see if they had some
imagination, how they were meeting their client's needs (usually being the cities they work for), their track
record on service, and how they worked with the community as well as how they were doing with their annual certifications to ensure they don't lose funding and qualification down the road. He said it's
important that they maintain this as qualified housing over a period of time. They interviewed each group
and looked at what their workload was at that time and felt this group had the opportunity to spend the
time necessary for this project and maintain focus.

care of it. Mr. Valenti stated that he and the other people are not opposed to low income housing but this
is not the right spot and there is absolutely no reason that project cannot be moved down across from Villa
Loma. He said he doesn't know how traffic congestion can be predicted because how can you predict
which way people are going to go and how many cars there are going to be. He said they're not asking for any special treatment but for consideration to look at the other sites, and pleaded with the Commission to
give them a break this time and look at an alternate site.
Alan Sakal, 2027 Alga Road, Carlsbad, reiterated they are not against the project, but they want to look at
different sites for the project. His understanding is that the five other low-income projects are not directly

Greisman said the reason he so strongly objects to this development is that he feels it is similar to a
situation in Houston where proper planning was not done and housing of markedly different values was
placed next to each other and led to a terrible situation. He said they do not want that in Carlsbad and

affordable housing. He said he was pleasantly surprised because his concept of affordable housing was the projects of Chicago and the tenements in New York City. In 1996 Poway wanted to build affordable
housing on a vacant lot about a half block from his house. Their homeowners association was very

housing in La Costa Greens for the record only.
Fred Arbuckle addressed concerns raised about the EIR and about whether or not all impacts were
examined. He said during the adoption of the master plan he went on record saying they have spent close
to, if not over $400,000 to study the traffic impacts that would be associated with their master plan.
Neither they, nor the City, took it lightly and are very concerned about traffic. They identified what the
impacts would be as part of the master plan. They identified all the mitigation measures and all are being

extremely difficult process to site this particular land use and they understood there would be concerns
within the community. That's why over 5 or 6 years ago they looked at what their options were. Among
the reasons this is the best site, besides what he addressed in his presentation, are that the other areas
are constrained by habitat.
Commissioner Baker asked him to repeat how far away the south end of this development is from Alga
Road and from the nearest residence. Mr. Arbuckle said it is over a football field away.
Jack Henthorn stated that in October the Villages of La Costa Master Plan completed several years of
efforts to develop a comprehensive plan for the remaining areas of La Costa in the City of Carlsbad. The
goal was to develop a plan that would be environmentally sensitive and in compliance with the City's
density requirements. After hours of publicly noticed hearings and testimony, the Planning Commission
General Plan. The project as it was processed met the old underlying Villages of La Costa Master Plan
and City Council adopted the Villages of La Costa Master Plan which contained provisions for 180 units to
be located specifically on the site, including necessary environmental measures to offset the potential
significant environmental impacts that would be associated with the development. This affordable housing project is important from the standpoint of state legislative requirements. The State of California
mandates the production of affordable housing. The City of Carlsbad went through an arduous task of
developing an lnclusionary Housing Ordinance which this master plan is charged and conditioned with

where affordable housing currently exists in proximity to homes that are approaching $1M, and that's in
Rancho Carrillo. That project was developed in a similar setting and the surrounding units do in fact
approach $lM in today's real estate market. Mr. Henthorn asked the Commission to consider Staffs
recommendation.
Commissioner Segall said he had a question regarding the concerns that if this low income housing was
put in that it would devalue the neighborhood, and yet he believes Mr. Arbuckle is going to be putting in

developed as part of the master plan to ensure there would be quality development in this area to protect
the developer's investment as well as the investments of the residents surrounding the area.
Planning Commission Minutes May 15,2002 Page 12
Commissioner Segall asked if he had an idea of what the units would be priced for the projects
immediately north on the other side of Dove Lane. Mr. Arbuckle replied they did not yet have that
information.
Commissioner White wanted to know, even though the project location is not formally an issue and
despite the obvious positive reasons for locating the project as described, if there is information on
audience. Mr. Henthorn stated that one of the things they are confronted with is the early production of
reasons why the project should not be located to the north that may be useful to members of the
this housing. One of the things they are constrained by is the ability to bring this on very early in the
process. 340 units are the first units that can be released upon the approval of this project. Making that type of requirement on this project necessitates that we found compatible sites that were near
infrastructure and with the location of this site being proximate to transportation, employment, etc., there
was no other infrastructure internal to the site that would create this type of opportunity.
Commissioner Baker asked Ms. Wilson to address Mr. Weintraub's questions regarding owning land, the
Citys construction loan and interest rate, tax credit, whether real estate taxes will be abated, financing,
and posting a completion bond.
Ms. Wilson stated they are confident about the financing for this project; it's actually non-competitive and
it's a highly desirable site. She said they qualify at the highest level for the types of tax credits they need.

Ms. Wilson said they are waiting for them to file their final map and will be arranging the land transfer from
the master developer to us. The agreements they have make them fully eligible for all the financing and
they frequently go forward and obtain financing on properties with various forms of purchase agreements,

Regarding taxes, Ms. Wilson said it is common to apply for abatement of taxes on projects of affordable

Chairperson Trigas asked her to explain if there is a funding benefit when you go from a 70% median
families encourage you to go to a lower income of affordability. You get far less help from tax credits and
income to 50 or 60%. Ms. Wilson replied that the programs that support affordable housing for working
other sources of funding at the 70% level and many programs do not qualify at that level. So the 50-60%
qualifies you for a much greater amount of leverage from your federal or state funding.
Commissioner Heineman asked if all the Carlsbad affordable housing projects have included funds from
the City. Ms. Wilson said she would assume there's been leverage of funds from the City of Carlsbad or the redevelopment agency. In order to obtain tax credits, there has to be a certain percentage of funding
and generally it comes locally.
Ms. Mobaldi stated that she believes it's the City's policy to only subsidize affordable projects that are
reaching levels which are below the required affordability level in the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance. That requires 70% of median income and for projects where you're going down to 50-60% or where you have desirable product types (multiple bedrooms), then the City is more likely to use available affordable
housing funds to subsidize the project. At 70% you do not get any subsidy from the City.
Planning Commission Minutes May 15.2002 Page 13
Mr. Wayne stated that the Summit project that was recently approved has no subsidy in it and it's a similar
type project but it is not 100% affordable. It targets 50-60% of area median income and participates in
Section 8 housing. Commissioner Heineman commented that only a minority of units in that development

Chairperson Trigas closed public testimony.
RECESS
Chairperson Trigas called a recess at 759 p.m.
MEETING CALLED TO ORDER
Chairperson Trigas called the meeting back to order at 8:07 p.m
Ms. Mobaldi wanted to clarify that the actual location of the affordable housing for this master plan has
already been approved and that it is not an issue. The issue at this meeting is the actual Site
Development Plan. Regarding the question of adequate schools, Ms. Mobaldi said that by law that is the
responsibility of the school district, and that is not a burden on the project and you're not allowed to
consider that by law.
Mr. Wojcik stated that the median improvements along Alga Road are included as a condition of approval
of the master plan that will be going in with the development of the properties there. He said they believe
the median improvements are required with the first phase of the development of this project and since
would anticipate those improvements to go in within the next year or two. They are currently doing plan
this project is in that first phase they're fairly certain it will go in with improvements for this project. They
checking on the improvement plans and grading plans for the entire Greens project so it would be
included in that. If there are weeds in the median, that is for the City Maintenance to take care of and he
said he would pass that on to the Public Works Director tomorrow.
Regarding the amount of traffic using Alga Road vs. El Camino Real, Mr. Wojcik stated that the project
engineer pointed out to him that when the master plan went to the Planning Commission, Staff was
recommending that a median be continued across Estrella de Mar allowing for only right in and right out
for the projects. Residents of Estrella de Mar came out and spoke at the meeting and said they wanted a
full access intersection at Estrella de Mar so when we went to City Council we listened to that input, talked
with our City Traffic Engineer, and changed the recommendation to the City Council to allow full access at
Estrella de Mar. Mr. Wojcik clarified that when he said something like 5 times more will use El Camino
Real than Alga Road it was based on Staffs original recommendation of a median there. Without the
median he would expect it to be more like a 50150 split between Alga Road and El Camino Real. The
project is also conditioned to put a signal in at that intersection. This decision was made based on input
from the residents.
City's Growth Management Standards. All intersections will operate at acceptable levels of service
Mr. Wojcik said as far as impacts to the roadways, there would be no significant impacts that exceed the
according to the City's Growth Management Plans.
Regarding where the construction trucks will be coming out, Mr. Wojcik said there are two locations for
that; one will be off Alga Road at Estrella de Mar; the other will be off of Dove Lane. The developer is required to submit a haul route prior to starting any construction of any type at that site. The haul route will be analyzed and approved by the City's Traffic Engineer to determine the safest location.
Mr. Wojcik said he did not have information on the speed limit on Alga Road. This project did not have an
impact on that. That is something the Traffic Division is required to do and the studies that they do are
required by state law in order to set the speed limits. If the proper studies are not done, then the police department cannot issue speeding tickets. If a speed limit is posted below what the reports call for, then
any speeding tickets issued to people would basically be thrown out of court because they have to comply
with state requirements on how speed limits are set. Mr. Wojcik said the signal light should most likely
decrease the speeds because people don't know when the light will go to yellow and to red. Experience
Planning Commission Minutes May 15,2002 Page 14
indicates that it does not increase speed, but people would be more cautious because they may have to
come to a stop.

significant impacts to be found.
Mr. Wayne explained that the EIR is essentially a program EIR for a lot of development that follows. For
the development that follows you have to have it defined so specifically in the EIR to use the EIR and
nothing else and we find that generally that‘s not the case. So you look at the site specific situation and
match that with the project as it comes in and it wasn’t as specifically defined in the Master Plan as it is
before you now. You only concentrate on those things that are different and that‘s why they were able to
issue a Negative Declaration instead of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
and 1 .I6 just to the north would have a density of 11.5 dwelling units per acre. If you calculate it out and Regarding the question on density, Ms. Kennedy said the Master Plan says this area, Neighborhood 1.15
there’s 9 developable acres right now you get a higher density. The way this density was calculated was
take out non-developable areas such as circulation roadways and slopes over 40% and deduct that, but in the Master Plan through raw acreage so we’re looking at the site basically as it exists today. We would
when they took the raw acreage of this site and the site to the north, that was all calculated out to 11.5
dwelling units per acre. A maximum number of 180 units was set for the site and that‘s what the proposal
reflects. So we can’t really use the net developable to calculate the densities.
Commissioner Segall said the bottom line is there is no variance that we’re seeking. Ms. Kennedy said
that‘s correct, they expected 180 units on this site.
Commissioner Baker asked her to respond to the question of why there would be a 3-story building on the
project and that there should be affordable housing in all quadrants of the city and this should be in
another quadrant. Ms. Kennedy stated that this zoning allows 3 stories and the other affordable units in
Planning Commission Minutes May 15,2002 Page 15

a lot of articulation. There is already affordable housing in all quadrants of the city.
Commissioner White asked for more discussion on why a site farther to the north wasn't chosen even
though that's not before the Commission, but to explain to the people in attendance who brought up the
issue. Mr. Neu stated that one of the major influences when they were developing the master plan was
the habitat preservation areas. One of the first things the developer looked at was the compatibility with
the adjacent properties. There was a good deal of controversy from people on the south side of Alga

had to adjust the master plan to try to be, if not exact, in terms of density or lot size, but very close in those
ranges. Some of the main factors in terms of locating an affordable site are things like proximity to the
transportation corridors, commercial services, etc. The experience with some of these affordable housing
projects is that not every household has multiple cars so there is an expectation people need to be in a
reasonable walking distance to get to these places. That was one of the main driving factors. Looking
further north, the main circulation road is the extension of Poinsettia Lane and there is a major habitat
properties closer to El Camino Real, so because of the aircraft influences and the ovefflight there are preservation area there. Further up is an approach path to Palomar Airport that cuts across the swath of
restrictions on where residential can go in that area. Immediately across the road are multi-family units.
They were looking at what is closest on the border in terms of compatibility and when all those factors
were considered that's how the affordable site ended up at its location.

DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Segall stated he supports the project and we need more of this type of housing in
Carlsbad. He said this offers a real high quality project for individuals that work here.
Commissioner White stated that she supports the project and thinks it is a great idea to have a project this
close to jobs and shopping centers and is impressed with the landscaping of the project, making it a very
attractive property both within and outside the project.
Commissioner Heineman stated he feels there is a strong need to continue to supply affordable housing in
Carlsbad from both a moral and practical standpoint. He thinks the project is remarkably attractive and
does not believe it will impact the houses around it any more than Mr. Scott from Poway found that the two
affordable projects impacted his neighborhood. He said there are many mixtures of small and large
houses throughout Carlsbad and it doesn't appear to him that either are adversely impacted by the
neighborhood.
Commissioner Baker thanked the people for coming to express their feelings about the city and the
project and stated she supports the project and location. She added that part of the reason we have bad
traffic in San Diego County is because people have to drive too far from where they live. The more we
can do as a community putting people close to where they work, the less people will have to drive long
distances.
Chairperson Trigas also thanked the public for their input. She said she supports the project, thinks it is
beautifully designed, likes the concept of a mixed area, and it's in an ideal location. She commented on
how the project will be a good neighbor with the responsible management.

Important time-sensitive material -please read immediately!
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed project SDP 01-17 La Costa
Greens Affordable Site.
Fortunately, my neighbor told me of the June 18 meeting. Although I live in the area
most affected by this project, I have not received any notice of any meetings or hearings
relating to it. I was able to retrieve a copy of the Planning Commission Minutes, dated
May 15,2002 on the Carlsbad website and have reviewed them completely.
Since the proposed project contains over 50 units, a decision whether to approve it rests
solely with the City Council. It is therefore up to you to approve or deny the project, and
your actions will preserve or adversely affect the quality of life for those residents of
Carlsbad most affected by it.
I have a number of objections, but of major concern to me are the issues of traffic,
parking, safety and security. The project calls for an intersection (and traffic signal) at
the corner of Alga Road and Estrella de Mar. Anyone, who lives in the community
served by Estrella de Mar, has experienced the burgeoning traffic in the mornings making
it risky to turn left (west) on Alga from Estrella de Mar. Already this year we have had a
very serious injury accident at this intersection and a Life Flight emergency some yards
to the east. Daily, we have near misses because of the blind curve from the east and the
downhill slope in both directions.
According to the Planning Commission report, this project was proposed over five years w. As anyone who lives here knows, traffic on Alga Road was not the problem 5 years
ago as it is today. Now it is a problem, and should be considered before any
developments are made, which will complicate the problem further.
Although the project originally called for a median in the Alga roadway, which would
prevent residents of the proposed project from using Estrella de Mar as a shortcut, the
design was changed. Now the plan calls for direct access to Estrella de Mar, and
according to report, Estrella de Mar will absorb 50% of the traffic normally consumed by
El Camino Real.
The community served by Estrella de Mar is a unique neighborhood. Many of the
residents are retired, and many are the original residents of this exclusive community. It
is routine to find senior citizens walking their pets along Estrella de Mar at most anytime
of day. It is a safe and quiet neighborhood for them. The La Costa Resort has been a
great neighbor. The resort has given great consideration to this community, and even
regulates street parking during its tournaments, so that neighbors are not inconvenienced.
With the increased burden of 180 (or more) families in the proposed project, Estrella de
Mar Road will become the ancillary parking lot for this project. Life will certainly
change here! With the increase in traffic and parking, this community will no longer be
safe for its residents.
It is unfortunate that none of the decision-makers for this project live in the area most
affected by their decision. Perhaps with enough input by those who do live here, the
members of the City Council will take oppose this project and preserve the quality of life
for its citizens.
Sincere

ARCHITECTURAL ~NTER~OR DES~CN
Dear Ms. Nygoard,
In regards to the letter of response sent by your office to me addressing the issues of the
proposed affordable housing complex that is to be built across the street from my home at
La Costa, I feel that I must let you know how very offended and slighted this has left me.
Primarily, FEW the questions posed by my inquity were answered and the two questions
that were addressed, were done so by an associate, were vague AND one was directly
quoted from the information THAT I PROVIDED. I was the one who informed Ms.
Kennedy of the meeting that was held by the developer.
The listing of persons.supposedly contacted that are included with this genericreply is
confusing as numerous persons and entities are NOT listed as living in this immediate area
and are not within your so called “600 Ft.” notification perimeter. There was no
conclusive proof that anyone, including those listed received any such notices. Those that
I have spoken with had stated a qualified “NO! What was the thinking that involved such
intenties such as The City ofEncinitas, The City of Oceanside, Leucadia Water District,
etc. Seems again, that your documents showing those that were notified has not satisfied
the questions I have asked.
There is no explanation as to how the agenda that was picked up on the 10th of May
stated that the proposal was approved by the planning commission on the 15th of May.
This same information was also provided at the community meeting at which time the
developer stated that the project had already beeii approved
And to add “insult to injury” this was taken from the newsletter that I received:
“Carlsbad’s next new affordable housing complex will overlook the fairways of La Costa
Resort, home of the Accenture Match Play event, where the winner takes away a cool one
million dollars. Mercy Housing is Community Housing’s development partner on this
inclusionary project in the Villages of La Costa. The 180 unit family development has hit
its drive right down the middle with a well-developed site plan and strong development

completion date of December 2004. That is four years %om beginning to completion,

Could this indicate that possibly the City Council and the Mayor have pre-approved this
case like the Planning Commission did prior to the hearing on the 15th of May? (see
agenda provided by the Planning Commission provided prior to the May 15th meeting)
The issues of property tax was not addressed in your reply. I want to know how many
homes could be built in that same area and at what density. Is there a study or is there to
be a study of the number of homes that could be built on this property AND how much
offset COULD these tax generating homes produce?
The issues of traffic control studies as to who, where and what were not addressed. Who
did these studies? When were they done and what were the qualifications of the firm or
firms who did the studies? I want to know where I can obtain a complete review of the
traffic and density studies or has this been “shoved under the rug”? Also, if this has been
done and is available, I also would like to know what firm or firms performed these
studies and also the qualifications of the person(s) conducting the studies.
My questions regarding an investigation as to why this zoning commitment has slipped by
so many of the residents that will be the most directly affected has been ignored. It is
statistically impossible to even assume that each and every one of us either consciously or
unconsciously disregarded the same notices at approximately the same time.
At present, it appears that a thorough investigation into the entire process of this proposal
be conducted to determine how this deplorable situation has mysteriously evolved and
what political gain and to whom do these gains go, be started at once. Further, I
EXPECT a reply from each individual that I have contacted via registered mail including
the Mayor himself. If necessary, I will buy a full page ad in the North County Times
which will include the correspondence I have sent to you and the meager replies that I
have received.

It seems the project is not unique. The meetings seem to go without
opposition.
The low income requirements may be required by certain mandates
I wonder what they are? .
By the way, a council person that may have a conflict of interest
should refrain, abstain, from voting. However, that doesn't mean
that person cannot speak out as a private citizen about an issue. . ;
That council person still can use hidher Bully Pulpit to voice

the end of June or dy July for final approval.
The large mixed-use development is on 585 acres at the southmt comer of Palomar Airport Road and E1 Camino Real. Mark Rohrlick, a vice president of Lennar Communities, the

"The schools _.. the retail .._ the housing, are all within walking distance," Rohrlick said. And
treelined parkways, most of which are seven feet wide, will make people want to walk."
Rohrlick said the 130,000-square-toot center could include a specialty sfore, restaurants and an
array of smaller retailers. "We want to make it a vibrant, sustainable design," he said.
About onethird of the project site would be left in permanent open space.
Nearby, Morrow Development is getting ready to start the next phase in its Villages of La
Costa master plan. Fred Arbuckle, Morrow Development president, said the 1,073 homes in the plan's first village sold out about two months ago.
"It sold out in less than five years," Arbuckle said.

Message: Dear SidMadam,
This is regarding the plan to extend the road "Estrella De Mar" north of Alga and have a HUD complex
built north of Alga along this road, next to the golf course.
As a resident who owns property on and lives on Estrella De Mar, I would like to express my extreme
displeasure with this proposal. We already have a lot of traffic and noise on one side due to El Camino
Real. Extending Estrella De MAr will make the traffic and noise along that road worse. Also, the HUD
housing will sure contribute to decreased property values for the existing homes. I urge the council to
to a differnt location and 2) cancel plans to extend Estrella De Mar north of Alga.
heed the sentiments of the current residents of that area of La Costa and 1) move the HUD housing plans

atlAttom~ Re: Dove Affordable Housing Qb-
1200 Carlsbad Village Drive '
Carlsbad, CA 92008 ALL-
Dear Ms. Finnita,
Please put me on record to oppose the location of the new high-density low-income housing
development to be located at Alga Road and the extension of Estrella de Mar Road. My
chief concern is the inevitable and unnecessary increase in traffic on the existing portion of
Estrella de Mar Road.
Estrella de Mar has very few sidewalks; it is not a very wide street; it has several curves;
and cars are often parked on the roadside making passage a challenge. Many residents,
including the elderly and children, who walk along and in the roadway, will face the
increased danger of being struck by vehicles of speeding, impatient drivers. Since Melrose
was opened up several years ago, the neighborhood has experienced a significant increase
in speeding cars, mostly driven by the employees working at the La Costa Resort Hotel.
More than once I have requested drivers to refrain from using Estrella de Mar as their
private landing strip. Mv 95-vear old mother was almost hit at the edge of her own
driveway while a speeding impatient motorist tried to turn-around. Just last week,
dog was run over bv a hit-and-run driver in front of my house as we were coming back
from our walk (there are no sidewalks here). Luckily, my dog survived but not before
several grueling hours at the emergency veterinary hospital. My next-door neighbors are
gravely concerned for the safety of their very young child. I have had ample first-hand
experience that people, children and pets are at risk anywhere along Estrella de Mar Road.
The increase in traffic as a result of the proposed development will only further endanger
the quality of life on this street. When Alga and El Camino become congested during the
rush hours or at special events in the area, Estrella de Mar Road will be and has been the
desired outlet and shortcut. Drivers who want to avoid waiting through several signal
changes (inevitable with increase in traffic) will whip around up and down Estrella de Mar
to their desired destination.
If the location of this development cannot be reconsidered and moved further north, then I
strongly request that the proposed signal at Alga and Estrella de Mar be re-examined. A
signal at this location will only add to the use of Estrella de Mar as an inevitable outlet. In
lieu of a signal, an extended median to prevent through traffic and left turns onto Estella
de Mar would keep the traffic flowing to and from El Camino and make Estrella de Mar a
much less desirable alternative. While this solution would make it a little less convenient
for the residents and their friends on Estrella de Mar, many residents strongly agree that
this alternative is a safer one for all.
PLEASE HELP US MAINTAIN OUR Ql" OF LIFE!!
Thank you.

A Mr. Greg Renna sent an e-mail through the City's RFA system regarding the public hearing of La Costa

Ms. Hoder and Ms. Kennedy verified that the primary property owner is Ms. Sara T. Agnello, 1274 San

Ms. Seena "rigas, Chairperson
1635 Faraday Road
Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314
Dear Ms. Seena,
Plense put me on record to oppose the location of the new high-density low-income housing
development to be located at Alga Road and the extension of Estrella do Mar Road. My chief
conccrn is the inevitable and unnecessary increase in traffic on the existing portion or
Estrella de Mar Road.
Estrella de Mar has very few sidewalks; it is not a very wide street; it has several curvcs; and
cars are often pnrkcd on the roadside making pnssags a challenge. Many residents, including the elderly and children, who walk along and in the roadway, will face the increased danger
of being struck by vehicles of speeding, impatient drivers. Since Melrose was opened up
scveral years ago, the neighborhood has experienced a significant increuse in speeding cars,
mostly driven by the employces working at the La Costa Resort Hotel. More than once I havc
rcquested drivers to refrain from using Estrella do Mar as their private landing strip.
96-year old mother was almost hit at the edge of her own driveway whilc a specding
impatient motorist tried to turn-around. Just last week, my doc wns run over bv a hit-
and-run driver in front of my house as we were coming back from our walk (there are no
sidewalks here). Luckily, my dog survived but not before several grueling hours at thc
emergency veterinary hospital. My next-door neighbors are gravely concerned for the safety
of their very young child. I have had ample firsbhand experience that peoplo, children and
pets are at risk anywhere along Estrella de Mar Road.
The increase in traffic as a result of the proposed development will only further endanger the
quality of life on this street. When Alga and El Camino become congested during the rush
hours or at special events in the area, Estrella de Mar Road will be and has bcen the desired
outlet and shortcut. Drivers who want to avoid waiting through several signnl chnngcs
(inevitable with increase in traElic) will whip around up and down Estrella de Mar to their
desired destination.
If the location of this development cannot be reconsidered and moved further north, then I
strongly rcquest that the proposed signal at Alga and Estrella de Mar be re-examined. A
signal at this location will only add to the use of Estrella de Mar as an inevitnble outlet. In
lieu of a signal, on extended median to prevent through traffic and left turns onto Estella dc
Mar would keep the traffic flowing to and from El Camino and make Estrella de Mar a much
less desirable alternative. While this solution would make it a little less convenient for the
residents and their friends on Estrella de Mar, many residents strongly agrw that this
alternative is a safer one for all.
P-SE HELP US MAINTAIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE!! TKANH: YOU.

Dear Committee Members,
Please put us on record to ormose the installment of the traffic signals
to be located at Alga Road and Estrella de Mar Road. The major concern
is the inevitable and unnecessary increase in traffic on the existing portion of Estrella
de Mar Road.
This increase in traffic as a result of the proposed development will only further
endanger the quality of life on this street. When Alga and El Camino become
congested during the rush hours or at special events in the area, Estrella de Mar
Road will be and has been the desired outlet and shortcut. Drivers who want to avoid
waiting through several signal changes will instead use Estrella de Mar to enter and
exit El Camino at the signal adjacent to Firehouse Station No. 2.
We strongly request that the proposed signal at Alga and Estrella de Mar be re-
examined. A signal at this location will only add to the use of Estrella de Mar as an
inevitable outlet. In lieu of a signal, an extended median to prevent through
traffic and left turns onto Estella de Mar would keep the traffic flowing to and from
El Camino and make Estrella de Mar a much less desirable alternative. We strongly
agree that this alternative is a safer one for all.
PLEASE HELP US MAINTMN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE!!
THANK YOU.

Re: La Costa Greens Affordable Site
Dear Neighbors,
"he development of the La Costa Greens Affordable Site of the Villages of La
Costa north of Alga Road and east of the West Bluff Center (Crazy Burro)
includes an extension of Estrella de Mar Road from Alga north to Dove
Street.
The development plan includes the installation of a traffic signal at Alga
Road and Estrella de Mar Road. We believe that a signal at this location will
increase trsc on Estrella de Mar.
Traffic on Estrella de Mar will increase because drivers will use our street as
a shortcut to avoid congestion at the intersection of Alga and El Camino Real
and as a desired outlet during the rush hours and special events in the area.
Many of your neighbors are opposed to installing this traffic signal because it
will further endanger the quality of life on our streets.
Instead of a signal, we are asking the City to extend the median on Alga Road
at Estrella de Mar to prevent through traffic across Alga and left turns onto
Estella de Mar. This will keep the traffic flowing to and from El Camino Real
and prevent the use of Estrella de Mar as a shortcut or traffic bypass.
If you want to reduce traffic on Estrella de Mar, please join us at the
Carlsbad City Council meeting to make your voices heard. This is
our last chance to maintain our quality of life and peaceful streets.
The meeting time and place is:
Tuesday, June 6:OO pm

When will the poorly planned city expansion plans stop???
