Request for approval of a Site Development Plan Amendment and Coastal
Development Permit Amendment for a 28 unit affordable apartment project
within the Mariano subdivision located in the Zone 20 Specific Plan area and
Local Facilities Management Zone 20.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions 4784 and 4785
APPROVING SDP 97-16(A) and CDP 97-34(A) based on the findings and subject to the
conditions contained therein.
11. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Development Plan Amendment and Coastal
Development Permit Amendment to replace an approved 27 unit affordable apartment project
with a 28 unit affordable apartment project located on Lot 134 of the Mariano subdivision (CT
97-14). The proposed project consists of 28 two and three bedroom units within four separate
buildings and includes a common recreation room and tot-lot. As designed and conditioned,
the project is consistent with the General Plan, Zone 20 Specific Plan, Mello I1 LCP, and
relevant chapters of the Zoning Ordinance.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
In 1997, the City Council approved a Tentative Tract Map (CT 97-14), Planned Development
Permit (PUD 97-11), Site Development Plan (SDP 97-16), and Coastal Development Permit
(CDP 97-34) for the Mariano subdivision that consisted of 150 single-family lots and one
affordable housing lot with 27 apartment units. SDP 97-16, approved by the Planning
Commission on October 15, 1997, consisted of two parts: 1) the overall project design in
accordance with the (Q) Qualified Overlay Zone; and 2) the affordable apartment project site
design in accordance with Section 21.53.120 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code for multi-family
affordable housing projects. Subsequent to City Council approval of the above actions, the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Game modified
the project by increasing the width of a wildlife comdor which resulted in the loss of 4 single
family lots.
The proposed amendments to the site development plan and coastal development permit
pertain to the affordable housing site only. The current developer, Wakeland Housing &
Development has requested that the project be revised to increase the project's eligibility for
SDP 97-16(A)/CDP 97-4A) - MARIAN0 AFFORDABLE HOUSING
June 7,2000
housing tax credits by eliminating the one bedroom units and increasing the onsite amenities.
The proposal consists of the addition of one unit for a total of 28 units, the elimination of one
bedroom units and increase in three bedroom units from 3 to 12, and an increase in the total
square footage of building area from 23,905 square feet to 28,485, including the addition of a
1,545 square foot recreation facility.
Although one additional apartment unit is proposed, the approved overall Mariano project
density has been reduced due to the loss of 4 single family lots to enable the expansion of a
wildlife corridor that bisects the Mariano subdivision. Therefore, the total units approved
within the Mariano project, including the additional affordable unit, decreases from 177 units
to 174 since project approval in 1997.
The Mariano project, including the affordable housing site, has been completely graded and the
project site is served with public streets and utilities. Topographically, the affordable housing
site (Lot 134) now consists of a flat pad that is separated from roadways and adjacent lots by
2:l slopes. Lot 134 is a comer lot surrounded on three sides by roadways; lot frontage is on
Goldenbush Drive, a local street which provides access to the affordable site and to single
family lots located to the south of the site. Goldenbush Drive is a single-loaded (no driveways)
street along the entire frontage of the affordable housing site due to an open space corridor that
abuts the eastern side of Goldenbush Drive. The site shares side and rear property lines with
three single-family lots.
The approved affordable apartment project consists of 27 apartment units within three separate
eight, nine, and ten-plex buildings with one, two, and three bedroom units ranging in size from
550 square feet to 1,025 square feet and an outdoor picnic area. The proposed 28 unit
apartment project differs from the approved project in that it increases the density by one unit,
is slightly greater in overall building coverage, consists of two and three bedroom units within
four separate buildings, and includes a common recreation building. The proposed two and
three bedroom units will increase slightly in size and range from 843 square feet to 1,080
square feet.
The approved site design consists of three structures and an outdoor picnic area oriented
toward the side and rear of the lot adjacent to Aviara Parkway and Cobblestone Drive and a
parking lot that is oriented toward the front of the lot adjacent to Goldenbush Drive. Access to
the parking lot is provided from a single driveway at approximately the midpoint of the
Goldenbush Drive frontage. The proposed site design reverses the approved site. layout by
siting the buildings along Goldenbush and Cobblestone Drives and tucking the parking into the
rear of the site parallel to Aviara Parkway. Access to the project is still provided from
Goldenbush Drive at the southern boundary of the lot. The revised site design will result in 20’
landscaped front yard setbacks with six-plex and eight-plex two-story structures that
incorporate articulated building and roof forms along with street side porches and patio decks.
The proposed project includes a 1,545 square foot community recreation facility, a tot-lot, 67
uncovered resident and guest parkmg spaces, and private patioshalcony decks for each unit.
The proposed architectural style incorporates flat and pitched roofs, vertical and horizontal
building and roof articulation, color variation, and S-tile roofs that are very similar to the
Laurel Tree affordable apartment project located directly across the street to the north.

PROPOSED USE AND
IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed 28-unit affordable
apartment project is part of the
Mariano subdivision map. With the
proposed project, the actual density is
decreased from the approved density
to 3.99 ddacre due to the reduction in
overall units from 177 to 174.
Although the 3.99 ddacre density
exceeds the'growth control point, the
General Plan allows density increases
above the growth control point if
certain findings are made to enable
development of low income housing.
Those findings were made with the
approval of the tentative map.
The 28-unit affordable housing
apartment project exceeds and
satisfies the 15% inclusionary housing
requirement of 26.1 units for the
Mariano subdivision.
The project is conditioned to complete
all necessary street improvement prior
to occupancy of any unit.
The project is conditioned to comply
with the 45 dBA CNEL interior noise
standard. The 60 dBA CNEL exterior
noise level standard is satisfied by the
provision of a 6' noise wall along the
Aviara Parkway right-of-way
approved as part of the Mariano
subdivision map (CT 97-14). The site
is also subject to a previously recorded
avigation easement due to its location
within the McClellan Palomar Airport
60 - 65 dBA CNEL noise contour.

LCP Land Use Plan
Zoning
B. Zone 20 Specific Plan
RLM (Residential Low- Medium)*
R- 1 - 10,000-Q (One Family Residential)**
The Zone 20 Specific Plan requires consistency with the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance (Chapter 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) requiring that 15% of the total
number of proposed units are made affordable to low income households. When feasible and
compatible with surrounding land uses, the affordable units are required to be constructed
onsite. In compliance with the Specific Plan, a 27-unit affordable apartment project was
approved by the Planning Commission on Lot 134 as part of the Mariano project. Since
density transfers within the Specific Plan are permitted to enable the higher densities necessary
for affordable projects, unused density was transferred from the portion of the property
designated for RM density to the affordable site. Although the proposed affordable project
increases the number of units from 27 units to 28 units, the project is still consistent with the
approved density. Prior to approval of the final subdivision map, the Mariano project lost four
single-family lots when the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) required an increase in the width of a wildlife comdor
that bisects the property. Therefore, the reduction of 4 lots and addition of one affordable unit
results in a reduction of overall units fiom 177 to 174. The reduction in total units reduces the
affordable requirement fiom 26.5 units to 26.1 units. The proposed 28 unit affordable project
exceeds the requirement and is consistent with an affordable housing agreement recorded for
the 27-unit project approved on the subject site.
C. Mello I1 LCP/Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
The affordable housing lot (Lot 134) proposed to be developed with 28 apartment units has
been previously found in compliance with the applicable Mello I1 LCP resource preservation
policies and implementing ordinances pertaining to soil erosion, sediment control, and drainage
facilities as part of the subdivision map and subsequent grading permit. Additionally, the
project was found to have no adverse impacts to the public access and recreational policies of
the Coastal Act. The proposed two-story structures are compatible in size and architecture
with surrounding development and will not obstruct public views or otherwise damage the
visual beauty of the coastal zone. The proposed multi-family lot, approved as part of PUD 97-
11 for the Mariano project, is consistent with the LCP Land Use Map and Zoning Map as
shown on the Coastal Development Compliance Table below:’
* See discussion under A. General Plan above.
** The LCP Land Use Plan is implemented in part by the City’s zoning ordinance. The multi-
family project is consistent with the R- 1-1 0,000-Q zoning because a Planned Development
Permit (PUD 97-11) was approved for the Mariano subdivision creating a multi-family lot
consistent with Section of 21.45.030 of the Planned Development Ordinance which allows
attached multi-family units as part of a planned development in any single family zone. This
clustering of units is consistent with the RLM land use designation allowing 0-4 dwelling
units per acre.

D. Qualified Overlay Zone
The project site is zoned R-1-10000-Q requiring approval of a site development plan. SDP 97-
16 included the entire Mariano project. The proposed amendment is for the affordable site
only; therefore SDP 97-16(A) pertains to Lot 134 only. A site development plan amendment
is required for the proposed affordable apartment project to ensure that the use will not
adversely impact the site or surrounding uses and that the site and street system are adequate to
accommodate the use. ..
The site is surrounded on three sides by roadways and shares side and rear property lines with
only three single-family lots. The Laurel Tree Apartment project is directly across
Cobblestone Road to the north, and an open space habitat corridor is located directly across
Goldenbush Drive to the east. The street system is adequate to serve the project since
Goldenbush Drive is a single loaded street along the entire project frontage thereby avoiding
dnveway conflicts, and Cobblestone Drive is a collector street intended to provide access to
Aviara Parkway. The site is adequate to accommodate the proposed 28 unit project in that
building coverage is 19.2%, and the project design includes sufficient parking and recreational
space. Topographic changes of 9’ - 14’ between the affordable site and adjacent single-family
lots as well as adequate building separation (minimum 70’) ensures that the multi-family
higher density development will not adversely impact surrounding single-family uses. The site
design is sensitive to fbture residents and surrounding residents in that the two and three
bedroom units are oriented away from Aviara Parkway toward the central portion of the site
and the Goldenbush Drive and Cobblestone Road street frontages. The placement of the
parking lot within the western and southern portions of the site results in greater separation
between the apartment units and Aviara Parkway and increases the buffer between the
apartment units and adjacent single-family residences. The six-plex and eight-plex structures
will not adversely impact the site since they are relatively small in scale, incorporate flat and
pitched roofs elements and significant architectural detail, and include front porches and
balcony decks along street frontages. Structures are set back a minimum of 20 feet along street
frontages consistent with single-family residences to the south. Since the building pads are
approximately 5’ - 14’ above Goldenbush Drive, in lieu of a single slope, a combination of
low, terraced retaining walls and generous landscaping within the front setback are provided to
aesthetically enhance the project and create a more pedestrian scale by reducing slope heights.
Inclusionary Housing and Affordable Housing Multi-Family Residential
As specified in the above discussion under B. Zone 20 Specific Plan - Affordable Housing, the
project is subject to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requiring that a minimum of 15% of
the total approved residential units in any specific plan be restricted and affordable to lower
income households. Section 21.53.120 of the Zoning Ordinance requires Planning
Commission approval of a site development plan for multi-family affordable projects of 50 or
fewer units based on findings that the project is consistent with the underlying zoninglspecific
plan and in conformance with the General Plan policies and goals. (See the above consistency
discussion under A. General Plan and B. Specific Plan).
The Mariano subdivision affordable housing requirement is now 26.1 dwelling units which
must be affordable to lower income households. This number is reduced from 26.5 units due
to the reduction in the total number of units approved and/or proposed for the Mariano project.

E. Growth Management
The proposed project is located within the Zone 20 Local Facilities Management Zone in the
southwest quadrant of the City. The impacts created by this development on public facilities
and compliance with adopted performance standards have been previously analyzed as part of
the Mariano subdivision map (CT 97-14) approval.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts from the development of properties
in Zone 20 were analyzed by the Zone 20 Program EIR (EIR 90-03). An expanded initial
environmental impact assessment performed for the Mariano subdivision map, including the
affordable housing site, revealed no significant environmental impacts beyond those identified
and mitigated by EIR 90-03, An environmental impact analysis has been performed for the
revised 28-unit apartment project which is proposed with minor alterations in the approved
grading and changes to site layout and building design. No significant impacts beyond those
previously analyzed and mitigated were identified. The project qualifies as subsequent
development to Final EIR 90-03 in accordance with Section 21083.3 of the California
Environmental Quality Act; therefore, the Planning Director issued a Notice of Prior
Environmental Compliance on April 28,2000.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the Cit),
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 infomation 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 glJ 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
e If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing 311
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 revieLv. In this
case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated“
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
e 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 EJR 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.

XVII. EARLIER ANALYSES.
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR. or other CEQA
process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative
declaration. In this case a discussion should identify the
following on attached sheets:
Section 15063(c)(3)(D).
a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available
for review.
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist
were withm the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant
to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or
refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-
specific conditions for the project.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Proiect Background and Environmental Setting
The project site was approved with a 27 unit one, two, and three bedroom affordable apartment
project as part of the Mariano Subdivision (CT 97-14) on November 18, 1997. The Mariano
subdivision is part of the Zone 20 Specific Plan (SP 203) area which covers the 640 acre Zone 20
Planning Area. The certified Final Program EIR 90-03 for SP 203, which addresses the potential
environmental impacts associated with development of the Zone 20 area, along with an expanded
initial environmental impact study to address project specific environmental impacts was utilized
to determine the level of environmental review necessary for the Mariano project. The expanded
initial study performed for the Mariano project, including the 27 unit affordable housing project,
revealed no significant environmental impacts beyond those identified and mitigated by the
program EIR 90-03; therefore, a Notice of Pnor Environmental Compliance was issued on
August 11, 1997. The Mariano subdivision final map has since been recorded and the entire site
has been graded. The affordable housing project site, Lot 134, has been entirely graded and is
served with public utilities. Minor changes to the existing grade will be accomplished through
the installation of 2’ - 6’ high retaining walls into the toe of slopes and along the perimeter of the
site.
LAND USE
The proposed 28 unit affordable project increases the density by one unit, is slightly greater in
overall building coverage, and consists of two and three bedroom units only. Although one
additional apartment unit is proposed, the overall Mariano project density has been reduced due
to the loss of 4 lots to enable the expansion of a wildlife corridor that bisects the project.
Therefore, the overall project density with the additional apartment, would actually decrease
since project approval in 1997.
The apartment project is integrated into a hture single family neighborhood adjacent to Aviara
Parkway directly across Cobblestone Drive from the Laurel Tree Affordable Apartment project.
The comer site, which is surrounded on three sides by roadway, fronts on Goldenbush Drive
which is single loaded (no driveways) along the entire apartment project frontage due to the open
space corridor that abuts the east side of Goldenbush Drive. Although the site shares side and
rear property lines with 3 single family lots, 2:l landscaped slopes and a parking lot provide
adequate separation (minimum 70’) from single family structures. Generally, the site design has
reversed by siting the buildings along Goldenbush Drive and tucking the parking into the rear of
the site parallel with Aviara Parkway. Access to the proposed project is still provided from
Goldenbush Drive farther to the south at the southern boundary of the lot. The proposed revised
design will result in 20’ landscaped front yard setbacks with two-story structures that incorporate
building and roof articulation, along with street side porches and patio decks to ensure
compatibility with surrounding single family structures.
AIR OUALITY
In 1994 the City prepared and certified an EIR which analyzed the impacts which will result
from the build-out of the City under an updated General Plan. That document concludes that
continued development to build-out as proposed in the updated General Plan will have
cumulative significant impacts in the form of increased gas and electric power consumption and
vehicle miles traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon
monoxide, reactive organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates.
10 Rev. 03/28/96
These aerosols are the major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego
Air Basin. Since the San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin,” any additional air
emissions are considered cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to build-out
as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air
quality of the region.
To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan build-out, a variety
of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions
for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measures
to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demand
Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass
transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5)
participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable and
appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the
design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is
located within a “non-attainment basin,” therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked
“Potentially Significant Impact.” This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the
preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-0 1, by City
Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for air
quality impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all projects covered
by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR. This project is within the scope of that MEIR This
document is available at the Planning Department.
CIRCULATION
In 1994 the City prepared and certified a Master EIR which analyzed the impacts which would
result from the build-out of the City under an updated General Plan. That document concluded
that continued development to build-out as proposed in the updated General Plan will result in
increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate build-out
traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely impacted by regional
through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These generally include all
freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the
implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections are projected to fail the
City’s adopted Growth Management performance standards at build-out.
To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan build-out,
numerous mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include:
1) measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to
develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks,
pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation
strategies when adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or
State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to
control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either
been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the
failure of intersections at build-out of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore,
the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is
consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the
11 Rev. 03/28/96
recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246. included
a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations’‘ for circulation impacts. This “Statement Of
Ovemding Considerations” applies to all projects covered by the General Plan’s Master EIR.
This project is within the scope of that MEIR This document is available at the Planning
Department.
