AGENDA OF: April 16, 1997 Application complete date: February 25, 1997 Project Planner: Chris DeCerbo Project Engineer: Clyde Wickham SUBJECT: GPP 97-02 - SAMBI SEASIDE HEIGHTS - Request for a Coastal Development Permit to allow for: (1) the construction of 93 single family homes on previously subdivided lots in the R-D-M-Q zone and (2) minor grading associated with the expansion of lot pad areas on property located within the Zone 20 Specific Plan and Local Facilities Management Plan along the west side of Aviara Parkway between Camino De Las Ondas and Palomar Airport Road. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 4082 APPROVING CDP 97-02 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION This project is requesting approval of a Coastal Development Permit for architecture and building placement of 93 single family homes on previously approved standard single family lots in the R-D-M-Q zone by the Sambi Subdivision Map (CT 92-02(A)), and minor grading associated with the expansion of some of the pad areas of these lots. All required permit findings can be made to support this request. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Kaufman and Broad is requesting approval of a Coastal Development Permit to allow the construction of 93 single family homes on standard single family lots which were previously subdivided as part of the Sambi Seaside Heights Subdivision Map (CT 92-02(A)) and minor grading associated with the expansion of pad areas for some of the residential lots. The project site is located along the west side of Aviara Parkway between Camino De Las Ondas and Palomar Airport Road. The original Sambi Seaside Heights project approvals also included a Site Development Plan (SDP 92-06(A)) which approved project layout and grading, a Hillside Development Permit (HDP 92-03 (A)) for hillside grading and a Coastal Development Permit for development within the Mello II segment of Carlsbad's Local Coastal Program. The project site is currently graded consistent with these previous project approvals. Architecture and building placement for this single family project were however not proposed or approved through the original project applications. Accordingly, the project was conditioned to require Planning Director approval of the architecture and placement of the single family homes on the approved lots consistent with CDP 97-02 - SAMBI SEASIDE HEIGHTS APRIL 16, 1997 PAGE 2 the standards of the R-l Zone, the Zone 20 Specific Plan and the architectural standards/guidelines of the Hillside Ordinance. As shown on attachments "A" - "N", the project includes three different product types (each with 3 different front elevations) which range from 2,433 square feet to 3,908 square feet in area and include three car garages. All of the units are two-stories (between 28 feet and 28.5 feet tall). Architectural features include recessed, arched and paned windows, hip and gabled roofs, earthtone colored stucco walls with wood and stone trim and flat and barrel tile roofs. Concurrent with this Coastal Development Permit application request, a Site Development Plan Amendment (SDP 92-06(B)) application has been processed for approval of project architecture and building placement by the Planning Director. A Hillside Development Permit Amendment (HDP 92-03 (B)) application has also been processed for approval through the Planning Director for minor project encroachment (construction of retaining walls ranging from 3-5.5 feet in height) into existing manufactured slopes located in the rear and side yards of around 50% of the project residential lots for the purpose of increasing the rear and side yard pad areas. This Coastal Development Permit application (CDP 97-02) is required for the placement and architecture of the proposed units on the single family lots and for the minor lot grading associated with the expansion of the lot pad areas for the residential units. The proposed project is subject to the Mello II Local Coastal Program. IV. ANALYSIS The recommendation of approval for this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the Mello II Local Coastal Program. The following analysis discusses project compliance with the Mello II Local Coastal Program. Mello II Segment of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program A Coastal Development Permit for the Sambi Seaside Heights project, which included the subdivision of single family lots, infrastructure location and grading has been issued by the California Coastal Commission based on findings of project consistency with the Mello II Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone and Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone policies. The project has been graded in compliance with the approved Coastal Development Permit. The approved project was conditioned to mitigate impacts to sensitive coastal resources including riparian and coastal sage scrub habitat. The required project resource mitigation, including receipt of various Federal and State permits and the purchase of mitigation credits from the Carlsbad Highlands Mitigation Bank have already been implemented. The Sambi project developer has also paid the required "Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee" to the California Coastal Conservancy. This proposed project must receive approval of a second Coastal Development Permit for the placement and architecture of the proposed units to ensure compliance with the R-l-7500 zone and for the minor lot grading associated with the expansion of rear yard pad areas on some of the CDP 97-02 - SAMBI SEASIDE HEIGHTS APRIL 16,1997 PAGE 3 residential lots. As shown on the following table, the project complies with all applicable R-l development standards. STANDARD Lot Coverage Front Yard Setback Street Side Yard Setback Side Yard Setback Rear Yard Setback Building Height REQUIRED Maximum 40% 20' 10' 10% of Lot Width 2 x Required Side Yard Maximum - 30' PROPOSED <40% Minimum 20' Minimum 10' 10% of Lot Width 2 x Required Side Yard Maximum - 28.5' Additionally, the proposed minor lot grading (into existing rear and side yard manufactured slopes) and retaining wall construction for the purpose of increasing the rear and side yard pad areas is consistent with the policies of the Mello II Local Coastal Program in that the slopes are manufactured and therefore not subject to the steep slope preservation policies of the Mello II Coastal Program, no sensitive coastal resources will be impacted by the proposed minor grading, and adequate drainage and erosion control measures have been incorporated into the project. V.ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that the proposed residential project is pursuant to and in conformance with Specific Plan 203 for which an Environmental Impact Report was prepared, therefore, the project is exempt under Section 15182 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
