Introduce an ordinance approving an amendment to the Village and Barrio Master Plan, to approve the Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project to implement Housing Element Program 1.11 (Exhibit 2). Adopt a resolution approving a Local Coastal Program amendment to update the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan for the Village and Barrio Master Plan to approve the Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project to implement Housing Element Program 1.11(Exhibit 4). Existing Conditions & Project Description The subject site consists of the Village and Barrio Master Plan area which encompasses the area west of Interstate 5 between Oak Avenue and Laguna Drive and extends nearly to the Pacific Ocean along Garfield Avenue and parts of Ocean Street. South of the Village, the Master Plan incorporates the Barrio neighborhood from Interstate 5 west to the railroad corridor and from the Village south to the vicinity of Tamarack Avenue. Together, the Village and Barrio comprise approximately 350 acres. Figure 1- Village and Barrio Master Plan area July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 1 of 183 State and Local Regulation Compliance In 2017, the Governor signed multiple housing bills to address the current state housing crisis, including CA Senate Bill 35 (SB-35) which allow eligible projects to be approved through a streamlined ministerial approval process subject to objective regulatory standards and affordable housing requirements. CA Senate Bill 330 (SB- 330) commonly referred to as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, also requires jurisdictions to streamline the approval process for qualified multifamily housing projects based on objective regulatory standards but does not require ministerial approval. The city cannot use standards or guidelines that are subjective in nature to deny SB-35, SB-330, or other applicable projects subject to Government Code Section 65589.5. The changes to state law adopted with SB-35 are set to sunset on Jan. 1, 2026, and SB-330 is set to sunset on Jan.1, 2034 unless further extended or made permanent by the state legislature. There is a bill in the legislature now that would extend SB-35, SB-423. More information on these bills is available under the Community Development Info- Bulletin page: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/community-development/departmental-information- bulletins In response to state housing legislation to address the state’s housing crisis and to satisfy city’s certified Housing Element Program 1.11, the city has developed objective design standards1 that can be used in the review of eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects. Additionally, there is a requirement that sites included in the rezoning program (Program 1.1 of the Housing Element) that developments be allowed by-right if they provide a higher percentage of affordable housing (20%) and don’t have any other discretionary actions, such as a subdivision or coastal development permit. The proposed standards replace existing subjective design guidelines with objective standards and include new objective standards appropriate for multifamily and mixed- use development within the Village and Barrio. These objective design standards will be paired with existing objective development standards—such as building height, density, and setbacks—in the review of eligible development applications. Eligible projects will be required to comply with to be approved. The objective design standards are not themselves an expedited review process but are used in the processes discussed above. Whether or not the city adopts new design standards, the permit processing options discussed above are available to project applicants. Adopting the objective standards will ensure eligible projects are compatible with Carlsbad’s existing community character while complying with both state and local regulations. The implementation of the project will also satisfy the terms of the State Department of Housing and Community Development Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant that was awarded to the city to fund the Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project and other projects that will help accelerate housing development. Given the unique architectural history and cultural dynamics of the city’s Village and Barrio Master Plan area, the City Council directed the development of two separate projects: the Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project and the Citywide Objective Design Standards project, which contains multifamily and mixed-use design standards but does not include prescribed architectural styles. Project Description The proposed city-initiated amendment to the Village and Barrio Master Plan (AMEND 2021-0008) and Local Coastal Program (LCPA 2023-0016) will implement Housing Element Program 1.11 to develop Village and Barrio objective design standards for multifamily housing and mixed-use projects in conformance with recent state law regulations. The Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project proposed as Appendix E to the Village and Barrio Master Plan (Exhibit 3), provides direction to applicants, city staff and decision makers with clear and 1 Objective design standards are defined as standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official before submittal [Government Code Sections 65913.4 and 66300(a)(7)] July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 2 of 183 consistent design direction for future multifamily and mixed-use residential development projects. The city is creating the Village and Barrio objective design standards using specific architectural styles which were developed in collaboration with the community and an appointed Design Review Committee. The range of architectural styles are carefully tailored to ensure that they are objective and reflect architectural styles already prevalent in the Village and Barrio neighborhoods. These objective design standards do not change existing development standards such as maximum building height, density, setbacks or permitted uses. The proposed Appendix E to the Village and Barrio Master Plan includes objective design standards based on the architectural style chosen by the developer along with the corresponding building type and subdistrict location as provided in Chapter E-2 tables 3.1.1 through 3.1.7. There are seven (7) architectural styles that developers can choose from as discussed in Chapter E-2 and are introduced in the following order: Spanish Revival, Craftsman, American Mercantile, Victorian, Colonial Cape, traditional modern and California contemporary. The design standards include items that will impact the aesthetics, livability, and overall neighborhood character. These include things such as building placement, access, pedestrian circulation, and landscaping. The design standards also establish a waiver process that allows developers flexibility in the application of up to four individual standards. This waiver process is outside of the density bonus program and is recommended by HCD to allow for flexibility. Proposed Appendix E “Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards” includes seven chapters summarized below: Chapter E-1 Introduction – This chapter introduces the standards including the purpose and intent. It establishes eligibility requirements, a waiver process, conflicting standards process and a process for modifications to an existing structure. Chapter E-2 Area-Wide Design Standards – This chapter includes existing Village and Barrio Master Plan development and design standards and guidelines provided by reference or updated to be objective. New additional area-wide design standards that address site and utilitarian design are also included in this section. Chapter E-3 Architectural Styles – This chapter provides context and standards for seven architectural styles applicants must choose from along with the corresponding building type and subdistrict location. These styles were established based on community outreach efforts further discussed in this staff report. Chapter E-4 Building Type Standards – This chapter establishes standards for the different multifamily housing building types that involve the building’s functionality (i.e. mixed-use building or small apartment) and configuration (i.e. horizontally or vertically stacked units). Chapter E-5 Frontage Type Standards (Base of Building), Chapter E-6 Windows and Balconies (Middle of the Building), Chapter E-7 Roof Articulation Standards (Top of the Building) – Chapters E-5 through E-7 provide more specific design standards addressing the design of the base, middle and top of the building. The project also proposes text changes to the Village and Barrio Master Plan to ensure the application of Appendix E - Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards for eligible projects (Exhibit 5). Because the proposed objective design standards only apply to eligible multifamily and mixed-use projects, the existing design standards and guidelines within the Village and Barrio Master Plan will remain and continue to be applied to non-eligible projects. New application materials including a Village and Barrio objective design standards checklist and process guide will include additional requirements to indicate if projects are eligible or not eligible to apply the new standards. Eligible projects as defined in Chapter E-1 Section 1.3 “Eligibility,” will be required to apply one of the architectural styles included in Appendix E but are permitted to waive up to four individual standards through the waiver process outlined in Chapter E-1 Sections 1.4 “Waiver Process” and 1.5 “Waiver Findings.” July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 3 of 183 Applicability The new objective design standards will apply to eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects which include two or more attached residential units such as: 1) townhomes; 2) duplexes; 3) condominiums; 4) apartment complexes; and 5) mixed-use development projects with at least two thirds square footage designated for residential uses. The new standards will not apply to 1) previously approved multifamily housing or mixed-use projects (unless modifications are proposed); 2) projects that are in process and deemed complete either through Senate Bill 330 or the Permit Streamlining Act prior to the new standards becoming effective; 3) single-family residential developments; 4) accessory dwelling units; 5) multifamily or mixed-use projects requiring a General Plan Amendment or rezone; or 5) non-residential developments such as commercial, industrial or office sites. Village and Barrio Master Plan Vision and Goals The project will continue to reinforce the established Village and Barrio Master Plan vision and goals to maintain and enhance the Village and Barrio’s community character and connectivity by: 1. Strengthening the Village and Barrio multifamily housing and mixed-use development design regulations 2. Ensuring buildings are designed to be compatible with the existing community character and that promotes pedestrian scale and connectivity 3. Assisting in the acceleration of residential construction for both affordable and market-rate projects 4. Encouraging the continued development of the eclectic and diverse Village and Barrio neighborhoods 5. Implementing standards that meet the state’s three objective standard criteria: a. Appropriate for meeting the city’s share of affordable housing as outlined in the Housing Element b. Feasible to accommodate development at the density permitted on the site c. Meet the definition of objective (Government Code Sections 65913.4 and 66300(a)(7)) Public Outreach & Comment Design Review Committee In Spring 2022, the City Council appointed nine individuals consisting of Village & Barrio residents, business owners, professionals, and commissioners to serve on a Design Review Committee to help guide the development of objective standards including a palette of architectural styles. Four meetings were held from Spring 2022 to Spring 2023. Information related to those meetings is provided on the committee’s webpage2. The first meeting introduced the project and explained the committee’s role. The second meeting included a review and discussion of the input received from the community and committee members regarding the design of multifamily and mixed-use development and its architectural styles. The third meeting provided an opportunity for the committee to provide input on a selection of architectural styles staff prepared based on the input received from the public and committee and how the styles will be applied based on subdistrict and building type. The fourth and final meeting included a review of the draft objective design standards including the architectural styles previously discussed and provided the committee with an opportunity to make a recommendation on the draft Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project. Objective Design Standards Recommendation The committee took action to recommend approval of the draft Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project (4-3-2) on May 25, 2023 with Committee Members Gocan, Puccio and Swanton, voting no and Committee Members Goetz and Connolly absent. 2 https://www.carlsbadca.gov/city-hall/meetings-agendas/boards-commissions/village-barrio-design-review-committee July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 4 of 183 The few members that voted against the draft Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards project did not want to allow within the Village Center District the Traditional Modern and California Contemporary architectural styles. Staff addressed their design concerns regarding these styles in the updated draft objective design standards by requiring higher quality materials and colors for the Traditional Modern and California Contemporary styles and requiring all larger building types typically found in the Village Center to have step back requirements for the third and fourth story portion of these buildings. Policy 35 Recommendation The committee also made an action to recommend that the city staff amend Community Development (CD) Department Policy 35 “Consistency Determination” to include a new finding that projects requesting a consistency determination must be consistent with the applicable Village and Barrio Objective Design Standards or Citywide Objective Design Standards (7-0-2). Policy 35 is used by applicants requesting a consistency determination for minor project changes after the project has received entitlement approval. The committee’s concern is that several previous project changes made during the consistency determination process, were significant changes and not minor in nature and that these changes negatively impacted the design of the buildings. Staff has reviewed the policy and determined that while having the objective design standards will improve the Consistency Determination process, it can be more explicit to require all project changes shall comply with the new objective design standards as recommended by the committee. As part of the next zoning code update, staff will be recommending new language to the Carlsbad Municipal Code that will replace the procedures and criteria within CD Dept. Policy 35 with new procedures and objective criteria for project applicants requesting for a consistency determination approval. The Consistency Determination process will therefore move from a staff drafted policy to one that is adopted by City Council. Community Outreach – Workshop, online survey, stakeholder meeting, public comment period In Summer 2022, staff gathered input from the community to help inform the Design Review Committee on the development the architectural styles and objective design standards. Input was gathered through an in-person community workshop held at the senior center in the Barrio neighborhood and through an online survey. The draft Village and Barrio objective design standards were made available for public review for 30 days from May 18th to June 19th, 2023. Staff notified community members of the above public outreach events through the project webpage3, news releases, social media and email. On June 1, 2023, staff also met with three representatives from the development community to get their feedback on the draft Village and Barrio objective design standards. Staff reached out to several developers who are currently or have previously submitted applications for multifamily housing or mixed-use development projects within the City of Carlsbad. A total of eight individuals submitted comment letters during the public review period, including four Design Review Committee members which are attached as Exhibit 6. Public Notices A public notice of the proposed Local Coastal Program amendment was published on Friday May 26th in two local newspapers pursuant to CMC Title 21 Section 21.54.060 “Notices of applications and hearings.” A state- mandated six week review period was required for the proposed Local Coastal Program (LCP) Amendment which ended July 7, 2023. No comments addressing the proposed LCP Amendment were received. Public notice of the Planning Commission hearing was published on July 9, 2023, in two local newspapers as prescribed pursuant to CMC Title 21 Section 21.54.060 “Notices of applications and hearings.” 3 https://www.carlsbadca.gov/vbdesign July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 5 of 183 Response to Public Comment & Project Issues The public comments received were overall regarding the formatting of the document, typos, use of figures and tables, and questions regarding consistency with existing standards in the Village and Barrio Master Plan. Many of the project issues raised during the review process have been addressed through modifications to the draft objective design standards (Exhibit 3). Project Analysis State Law Consistency The state recently passed legislation that includes requirements for local jurisdictions related to the processing and approval of residential development projects. A discussion of how the project is consistent with the applicable state legislation is summarized in Exhibit 7. General Plan Consistency The City of Carlsbad General Plan includes goals, policies and programs which directly relate to the proposed project. A discussion of how the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan goals policies and program is summarized in Exhibit 7. Municipal Code Consistency The City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, most specifically, Tile 21 Zoning Ordinance, includes requirements and provisions that guide development and land use within the city, consistent with the General Plan. Specific compliance with the relevant Title 21 Zoning Ordinance requirements is described in Exhibit 7. Growth Management Program The project site is located within Local Facilities Management Zone No. 1. A discussion of how the project is consistent with the City’s Growth Management Program is described in Exhibit 7. Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan The project was reviewed by the Airport Land Use Commission on July 6, 2023 and determined to be consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) (Exhibit 8). No further review is required. Discretionary Actions & Findings The proposed Project requires approval of certain legislative changes (Village and Barrio Master Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment) which is discussed below. Village and Barrio Master Plan Amendment (AMEND 2021-0008) The project proposes a new appendix and corresponding text changes to the Village and Barrio Master Plan, therefore requires a Village and Barrio Master Plan Amendment. Pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Village and Barrio Master Plan, amendments to the Village and Barrio Master Plan shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of CMC Chapters 21.35 “Village and Barrio Zone” and 21.52 “Amendments”. A discussion of how the project is consistent with the master plan vision, goals and policies is described in Exhibit 7. Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA 2023-0016) The project involves the Village and Barrio Master area which includes those portions of the Master Plan constituting the Local Coastal Program and therefore requires a Local Coastal Program Amendment. A discussion of how the project is consistent with the Local Coastal Program is described in Exhibit 7. Environmental Review In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, The Village and Barrio Master Plan amendment and Local Coastal Program amendment for the proposed Village and Barrio objective design standards project is exempt from CEQA per the CEQA Common Sense Exemption Section 15061(b)(3) that July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 6 of 183 applies to projects which clearly do not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The project in itself, does not allow construction of any building or structure, but sets forth design regulations that shall be followed. The regulations do not change allowable uses or building intensities. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, and thus is not subject to CEQA review. A notice of intended decision regarding the environmental determination was advertised on June 28, 2023 and posted on the city’s website. The notice included a general description of the project, the proposed environmental findings, and a general explanation of the matter to be considered. The findings and determination contained in that notice was declared as final on the date of the noticed decision, unless appealed as provided by the procedures commencing in Chapter 21.54 (Procedures, Hearings, Notices, and Fees) of the Zoning Ordinance. During the public review period, the city received no comment letters from the public regarding the prospective environmental determination, and no appeal was filed within the 10 day appeal period. Since no appeal was filed and no substantial evidence was submitted that would support a finding that the exemption requirements would not be satisfied, the project was determined by the city planner to not have a significant effect on the environment. The City Planner’s written decision is final and the CEQA determination is not within the Planning Commission’s purview. With the appropriate environmental clearances in place, all the city’s procedural requirements and relevant aspects of CEQA have been satisfied. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines and Chapter 19.04 of the Municipal Code do not apply to this project. Conclusion Considering the information above and in the referenced exhibits, staff has found that the proposed Project is consistent with all applicable policies and programs of the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, Village and Barrio Master Plan provisions and Local Facility Management Zone and state regulations. In addition, there are no environmental issues associated with the Project. Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the resolution, recommending approval of the proposed Project described in this staff report. Exhibits 1. PC Resolution 2.

July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 19 of 183 AP P E N D I X E APPENDIX ECHAPTER 1 MASTER PLAN E.1 Introduction The Objective Design Standards Appendix (objective design standards) provides local control over the design of future multifamily housing and mixed- use development within the adopted Village and Barrio Master Plan area. These standards assist the city to in sustaining the unique character of this area while complying with state housing laws designed to expedite housing production. Objective design standards are defined in California Government Code Sections 65913.4 and 66300(a)(7) as standards that: … involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official before submittal. The objective design standards are applicable to eligible development applications for multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects located in the Village and Barrio Master Plan (VBMP) area. These objective design standards build upon existing Village and Barrio Master Plan policies and standards (see Section 2.2). The objective design standards required in this plan were generated in consultation with decision-makers, stakeholder committee and community workshops through an iterative multi-year process. The objective design standards are to be utilized during the city development review process to achieve the highest level of design quality, while at the same time allowing for some flexibility necessary to achieve site and building design creativity. All projects will be evaluated and analyzed on their adherence to the objective design standards through a design review process that includes a mandatory checklist of applicable objective design standards. To satisfy the design review requirements, a project must demonstrate how it complies with the applicable objective design standards. 1.1 Background 1.2 Purpose and Intent The objective design standards provide the minimum design standards required to assure that new multifamily housing and mixed-use residential development projects embodies a specific architectural style with a high level of attention to design details. The purpose of objectivity is for a design standard to be measured and verifiable with no “gray area” for interpretation and therefore requiring no discretion. The following Statements of Intent are established here to meet the VBMP set of goals (Section 1.5 Goals and Policies) and state mandates consistent with the aspirations of the community: •Comply with state and local mandates to implement new objective design standards for eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects located within the Village and Barrio Master Plan area. •Ensure projects eligible for a streamlined review process pursuant to California Government Code Section 65913.4 comply with these objective design standards. •Continue to build eclectic and diverse neighborhoods that evolve over time. •Provide design details and illustrations that are prescriptive and objective. E-1July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 20 of 183 APPENDIX ECHAPTER 1 CARLSBAD VILLAGE & BARRIO AP P E N D I X E •Ensure buildings are developed using accurate architectural styles that showcase a high level degree of design details as traditionally built throughout the Village and Barrio neighborhoods. The objective design standards will help ensure the design of new multifamily housing and mixed- use development buildings will accurately reflect the selected architectural style that is found historically throughout the Village and Barrio Master Plan area but built using contemporary materials and current building practices. The highest priority of this document is to ensure that each building demonstrates an authentic and accurate architectural style that is consistent with the local surrounding, creating an elegant and cohesive environment. These standards will therefore prevent the mixing elements of various traditions or styles on individual buildings which has resulted in a hybridization of styles that degrades and confuses the integrity of the original historically accurate architectural styles found throughout Carlsbad’s Village and Barrio neighborhoods. 1.3 Eligibility The following sections provide objective design standards required for use in the review of “developments” governed by California Government Code Section 65913.4 (Streamlined Ministerial Approval Process) and “housing development projects” as governed by California Government Code Section 65589.5 (Housing Accountability Act). These sections detail the review process required for projects that provide, generally, either affordable or market rate multifamily housing development projects with at least two (2) units or mixed-use development projects with at least two-thirds (2/3) square footage designated for residential uses, that are consistent with applicable objective standards included in the General Plan, zoning, and other codes, plans, and policies. A number of additional factors may exclude a particular site from being eligible. For full eligibility criteria, see the California Government Code sections listed above or the city’s development application materials. These objective design standards are intended to apply exclusively to multifamily and mixed-use residential developments that consist of at least two (2) attached dwelling units. These objective design standards do not apply to any other land development type, including a detached dwelling unit. Developments proposing detached dwelling unit project types or any other land development types are subject to the applicable objective standards found in other relevant regulatory documents and sections of code. Modification or expansion of an existing conforming structure used for multifamily housing or mixed-use development that includes attached units and that exhibits an architectural style that is described as or closely aligned with one of the styles listed in Appendix E-3 is also eligible to use applicable standards of this Appendix. 1.4 Waiver Process A project applicant may request up to four (4) waivers to the applicable design standards provided in this Appendix without the requirement for an additional application. The waiver process set forth in this Appendix is a separate process from the concessions/incentives and waiver process pursuant to Density Bonus Law (Govt Code Section 65915) and/or other applicable state laws. However, if the state density bonus concession/incentive or waiver is for objective design standard in this Appendix, it would be counted as one (1) of the four (4) allowed waivers under this section.

The written justification for a waiver(s) must contain the following: •The design standard(s) that is being requested to be waived; and •How the request meets the waiver findings listed below. The decision maker will consider the request and information provided and make findings to approve or deny the request. A waiver shall be granted only if all the following findings are made: 1.The proposed project meets the intent of the design standard under consideration, or a similar design standards is implemented in substitution. 2.The project meets the allowed density with the proposed waiver(s). 3.The proposed project is consistent with the distinctive architectural style selected. Findings to deny requested concession/incentives or waivers as part of a density bonus application are addressed and controlled by Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915). 1.5 Waiver Findings Eligible projects must comply with all other applicable objective standards in the Village and Barrio Master Plan and Carlsbad Municipal Code for topics on which Village and Barrio Master Plan Appendix E is silent. 1.6 Other Applicable Objective Standards All project applicants requesting to process their eligible projects through the city’s streamlined permitting review process, are required to submit a complete streamlined permitting review application. Required documents are provided by the City of Carlsbad Community Development Department, Planning Division. 1.8 Streamlined Permitting Review Process Improvements to existing multifamily housing and mixed-use development structures or sites that involve an improvement to conforming and nonconforming sites shall be subject to the following: A. To bring nonconforming structures into compliance with the overall vision of the VBMP, nonconforming buildings or other structures, as to setback, yard, height, wall planes, or other VBMP provisions may be repaired, replaced, or added to, only to the extent permitted by VBMP. 1. New Additions A nonconforming building or other structure may be added to, provided that an addition of 50% or more of the existing floor area shall trigger compliance with all VBMP provisions for the portion of the building or structure comprising the addition. 2. Restoration of Building or Other Structure If a nonconforming building or structure is damaged or partially destroyed by fire, flood, wind, earthquake, or other calamity or act of God, structural alterations, or other repairs for 1.9 Improvements, Modifications or Expansions to Structures July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 22 of 183 APPENDIX ECHAPTER 1 CARLSBAD VILLAGE & BARRIO AP P E N D I X E E-4 purposes of reconstruction may be carried out so long as they are repaired or replaced to no more than their original size (i.e., no additional floor area shall be added). 3. Other Repair Repair of nonconforming buildings or other structures, other than structural alterations and other repairs required for restoration of damaged or partially destroyed buildings, may be carried out provided that they are in compliance with all VBMP provisions.

This framework honors Carlsbad’s existing architectural styles by providing a regulatory framework to continue its eclectic architectural tradition found within the Village and Barrio neighborhoods. The following standards enable the significant characteristics of the following seven (7) architectural styles that have been identified in relationship to each of the Village and Barrio Master Plan Sub- Districts (Tables 3.1.1 - 3.1.7) in direct relationship to specific building types (Chapter E-4). The styles allowed by sub-district and building type are identified below. The seven styles are the following: • Spanish Revival (allowed with all multifamily and mixed-use building types) • Craftsman (allowed with all multifamily and mixed-use building types) • American Mercantile (only allowed with mixed-use building types) • Victorian (predominately allowed with multifamily building types) • Colonial Revival/Cape Cod (predominately allowed with multifamily building types) • Traditional Modern (allowed with all multifamily and mixed-use building types) • California Contemporary (allowed with all multifamily and mixed-use building types) 3.1 Introduction Tables 3.1.1 - 3.1.7 VBMP Sub-District and Related Architectural Style The applicant shall select and conform to one architectural style and one corresponding building type for each proposed building pursuant to the project site’s sub-district location as illustrated in Tables 3.1.1 through 3.1.7 below. If a development is proposing several buildings and/or building types, the applicant may provide different architecture style and building type combinations in the same development as permitted in the sub-district. Every sub-district table provides a variety of architectural styles and building type combinations that is most suitable for each sub-district based on the allowed density, surrounding neighborhood, and allowed residential/mixed-use development uses.

Each style is described and differentiated from the others through three (3) building area criteria, the building’s ground floor base and frontage type (Chapter E-5), middle and upper floor windows and balconies (Chapter E-6), and the roof type (Chapter E-7). The design criteria described outlines the building’s expression, composition, materiality, and detail for each of the various architectural styles as illustrated for informational purposes only: Figure 3.1, Building Diagram Top of the Building (Chapter E-7) Roof Type Drainage Lightest Materials Lightest Colors Middle of the Building (Chapter E-6) Windows Balcony Types Wall-to-Roof Connections Primary Walls Attached Elements Base of the Building (Chapter E-5) Frontage Type Footer Element Doors and Windows Heaviest Materials Darkest Colors E-18 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 37 of 183 AP P E N D I X E APPENDIX ECHAPTER 3 MASTER PLAN 3.2 Spanish Revival Description: Derived from the adobe structures of the Spanish Missions and showcased in the California pavilion at the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, Spanish Revival architectural style was adopted by several railroad companies for their train stations and hotels and quickly became a fixed style of Southern California. Walls often have significant thickness and any attempt to imitate these, especially in features such as arcades, will help the authenticity of the language. The Spanish Revival style heritage is so extensive, that when applied, it evokes a heightened sense of urbanity, and an intimate relationship with nature. Key characteristics of the style include white or light-colored stucco walls, sloped red tile roofs with exposed rafter ends, shaped parapets, and extensive balconies often with ornate metal rails. Building composition is flexible, with both asymmetrical, picturesque arrangements and ordered, symmetrical ones appropriate to the style. Facades are articulated by traditional moldings or applied ornament of stone or cast concrete to describe the vertical divisions into the base, body and top. The use of arched openings, either unframed on windows, or in ground floor arcades at entries or adjacent to open space, is common. Building facade compositions can be symmetrical but are generally asymmetrical in terms of window size, location, and alignment. A. Base of the Building (Chapter E-5) 1. If an articulated base element is applied on the ground plane, such as a footer, it shall ground the building up to three feet (3’-0”) maximum height. 2.

It was invented as a style of the handmade and earthy, a reaction to the repetitiveness and homogenization of the industrial culture emerging at the time. The Arts and Crafts movement became the expression of choice for an unadorned, popular, and natural architecture. Exemplar examples of Craftsman buildings for larger scaled 3-5 story buildings can be found in historical hotels, California courtyard multifamily housing and mountain/national park resorts. In its most simple form, it is a wood-framed box surrounded by various attached elements, such as roof dormers or expressive downspouts. Walls are typically horizontally placed, wooden appearance siding, shingles or board-and-batten (often in a combination of two or three) with a foundation base and piers in stone, brick or stucco. Rafter tails, decorative brackets, and porch columns are exposed, smooth, woodwork. Windows and doors are vertical in proportion, trimmed in wood or composite wood.

Buildings of this style are decorated rectangular masonry (or stucco) boxes in terms of form and mixed-use with commercial ground floors in terms of function. Multi-story facades are typically divided into base, middle and top, or “tripartite,” with the ground floor taller than the shorter upper floor which is finished by a significant parapet. The ground floor has expansive glass interrupted by structural columns with transoms to allow light to penetrate deep into the interior. Upper-level windows are typically punched openings, grouped between piers, pilasters or other facade elements, creating a repetitive bay structure directly relating to the ground floor openings, which enriches the rhythm of the facade. A moderately pronounced cornice is typical. A. Base of the Building (Chapter E-7) 1.

In part a reaction to the excesses of Victorian Architecture, elements included simple colonial saltbox massing. Buildings are characterized by steep and wide narrow angles, exposed gabled or sloped roof dormers and classical columns on porches or stoops with brick stone bases. Wings and additions often occur and are subordinate in scale to the primary mass. They are often plainer, less detailed, and more assembled than crafted.

The style emphasizes massing over structural articulation and is characterized by interlocking volumes of solid colors and materials with large building volumes. The style is typified by flat roofs, symmetrical and streamlined building composition, repetitive building elements articulated as pure geometric planes or forms, and expanses of outdoor balconies that allow integration between interior and exterior spaces. The use of natural landscaping materials and pergolas adorn or ornate the exterior walls is common.

It’s raw concrete ground floor base is borrowed from Lou Kahn’s Salk Institute icon. It’s mid-century modern references to Cliff May are open floor plans, floor to ceiling glass walls, and an offset vertical element. It is characterized by interlocking volumes of different colors and materials and/ or large, unarticulated building volumes. Asymmetrical roof lines and streamlined building compositions with repetitive design elements articulate abstract shapes. And expanses of glass integrate its interior and exterior spaces. It uses industrial materials such as glass, concrete and fiberglass in combination with natural materials. Given its abstract nature, the This style relies heavily on the articulation of the exterior surface into planes with a visible layering. Unique facade features and individual volumes may be highlighted with a bright or contrasting colors. A. Base of the Building (Chapter E-7) 1. The base level shall be composed of the full ground floor length combination of cast concrete, stucco, wood, composite wood, plaster or glass materials. 2.

Building caps should facilitate roof forms that are integral to the building’s design on all sides of the structure. 3. Rain drainage catchment shall be conducted with a combination of gutters and downspouts in metal or painted metal materials. 4. Secondary building faces on flat-roofed buildings should have a parapet height that is consistent with the primary face. The vertical façade of a building face should not be extended above the actual parapet or roofline to give the appearance of a false front. 5. For buildings or portions of buildings which are three (3) to four (4) stories in height, provide articulation for the top story of the building. This may be accomplished by a color change, material change, a cornice/belt course at the bottom of the uppermost story.

The assembly of the building’s ground floor fronting onto a street determines its level of privacy. Residential-only buildings entries are either stepped back or stepped up from the street level to provide a physical separation to transition visitors from the public realm into the private realm. Mixed-use buildings with ground floor commercial entrances are set at grade to facilitate ease of ingress and egress to directly connect to the street and visitors to the ground floor commercial space. Multi-storied building types are assembled in three patterns: 1) Horizontally attached individual units placed side-by-side that may have up to three (3) floors within each attached unit, see Figure 4.1.1; 2) Individual floors of units vertically stacked atop each other, see Figure 4.1.2, and; 3) Combination of both vertically stacked units and horizontally attached units, see Figure 4.1.3. 4.1 Introduction Figure 4.1.1 Horizontally attached units, side-by-side, one (1) to three (3) stories.

Buildings located on Primary and Secondary Street corners shall be accentuated with a vertically articulated architectural element per a selected architectural style (see previous section Chapter E-3) within a minimum of twenty-five feet (25’-0”) of the street corner. B. Buildings located mid-block, greater than 25-feet from the corner of a primary street, shall express a horizontal articulation via banded or layered Building Wall Element projections or encroachment within each story to the edge of the building. The architectural projections that can be used to express a horizontal articulation include balconies, bay windows, cantilevered rooms, and/or awnings (see Chapter E-6). C. Full-block developments shall incorporate both corner and mid-block building patterns. D. Facades for buildings over one hundred and fifty-feet (150’-0”) in width along a Primary Street shall mix its building articulation to appear as though it is composed a minimum of two (2) distinctive, attached “buildings” with different building type combinations.

The frontage area is the formal access and transition from the public streetscape to each private building entrance. The successful design of this interface significantly contributes to the realization of an active and engaging urban environment. Buildings have ground-floor frontages that are human-scaled, provide visual interest, and access to ground-floor uses. This base of the building element shall be designed to appropriately fit within its context of each sub-district, architectural style, and building type. 5.1 Introduction 5.2 Frontage Standards Figure 5.1 Base of the Building’s Frontage The base of the building’s frontage type is the interface between the public realm and private development. Each type is related to a building type that is either directly accessed, such as small building walk up types, or accessed via a common entrances in larger buildings with elevators or stairwells. Table 5.1 provides a palette of prototypical frontage types appropriately matched to its related building type. A building’s frontage is the interface between the public realm and private development providing access to ground-floor and upper level uses. Each section provides standards in the following format: A. Entries. These standards address entries at the front of each building. B. Dimensions. Specific dimensions for entry features. C. Paving and Landscaping. Addresses the private front setback area between the property line, starting at the public Primary Street’s back-of-sidewalk, to the private building face. D.

Focuses on techniques to beautify the streetscape and public spaces, promote and encourage arts and culture, and enhance community character and historic resources. • Administration: Describes the authority of the Master Plan, processing requirements and the administrative procedures required for amendments to the Master Plan. • Implementation: Identifies strategies and provides direction for achieving the Master Plan’s goals. • Appendix: Includes information to support and supplement the above Master Plan sections, including Objective Design Standards for eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects. 1.3 Setting 1.3.1 Overall Description and Master Plan Boundary The Master Plan boundary encompasses much of the area west of Interstate 5 between Oak Avenue and Laguna Drive and extends nearly to the Pacific Ocean along Garfield Avenue and parts of Ocean Street. South of the Village, the Master Plan incorporates the Barrio neighborhood from Interstate 5 west to the railroad corridor and from the Village south to the vicinity of Tamarack Avenue. The southern limits of the Master Plan exclude the area west of Jefferson Street containing Jefferson Elementary School and the homes and apartment complex around it. As the city lacks land use jurisdiction over the school, and much of the neighboring residential area developed separately and differently from the Barrio and with Tamarack Avenue orientation, this area is not within the plan’s boundaries. Tamarack Shores, for example, the 80-unit planned community along the north and west sides of the school, was built in the 1970s and 80s, considerably later than and in a format unlike much of the Barrio. Together, the Village and Barrio comprise approximately 350 acres. They share a long and varied history and many traits including period of settlement, geography, topography and others. While the Village was established as the center of commerce, the Barrio has historically been a predominately Hispanic neighborhood with individual properties passed down for generations. Both neighborhoods are physically cut off from nearby parts of Carlsbad to the east and west and from one of the city’s greatest assets: the ocean. The railroad forms the entire west boundary of the Barrio and splits the Village. Only four railroad crossings exist in the planning area. Similarly, Interstate 5 forms an eastern barrier crossed in only three places along the Village and Barrio. Figure 1-1 shows the boundaries of the Village and Barrio Master Plan. CH A P T E R 1 IN T R O D U C T I O N July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 97 of 183 1-9MASTER PLAN • Embody the principles of smart growth, with a mix of commercial and residential land uses, a variety of housing choices, walkable neighborhoods and multiple transportation options. The Master Plan capitalizes on the Village and Barrio’s varied and compact mix of land uses, walkable street grid, and transportation or mobility options, all of which enable the neighborhoods to be places where people can live, work and play in a way that respects sustainability. The plan also encourages connections externally, such as across the railroad and Interstate 5, to further improve the ways in which people can move about the area. • Attract high quality, sustainable development that enhances vitality and local character. Overall, development standards and guidelines of the Master Plan maintain existing land use patterns and densities and accommodate both residential and non-residential growth. Existing character is respected and also enriched by emphasizing a street network inviting and attractive to all users, whether arriving on foot or bike, by car or transit, and a pedestrian-orientation for buildings and public spaces. Further, in keeping with the eclectic mix of building designs prevalent in the Village and Barrio, the Master Plan emphasizes quality architecture for over any particular style. The importance the Master Plan places on design, circulation and mobility supports economic development and attracts quality business and shops. CH A P T E R 1 IN T R O D U C T I O N July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 98 of 183 1-12 CARLSBAD VILLAGE & BARRIO B.Maintain and enhance the predominantly residential character of the Barrio. 1.Encourage a range of housing types, including medium density single-family, two-family and small- scale multi-family development in the Barrio center, and higher density multi-family housing in the perimeter, consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map. 2.Allow a mix of office, service commercial, retail, and light industrial uses as the residential neighborhood of the Barrio transitions to the commercial core of the Village. 3.Continue to maintain and provide recreational, community, and senior services at the Pine Avenue Community Park and Carlsbad Senior Center for Village and Barrio residents, and the surrounding community. C.Promote infill development and private reinvestment in property in a way that protects and enhances the character of the Village and Barrio yet provides enough flexibility and opportunity for quality growth. 1.Enforce design guidelines that identify components of good design and promote compatibility with existing context, but do not specify any particular architecture or discourage creativity, in keeping with the eclectic mix of styles present in the Village and Barrio. CI.Promote rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of existing buildings in the Villageand Barrio. 1.Provide flexibility in meeting parking standards for changes in non-residential use of buildings existing as of this Master Plan’s adoption date. 2.Encourage property owners to rehabilitate substandard and deteriorating structures, subject to thenonconforming lots, structures, and uses standards (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 21.48). 1.5.1 LAND USE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER CH A P T E R 1 IN T R O D U C T I O N July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 99 of 183 2LAND USE & URBAN FORM 2-6 CARLSBAD VILLAGE & BARRIO Table 2-1, Permitted Uses RESIDENTIAL VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Dwelling, One-Family - P 1 - - P 1 P1 P1 Dwelling, Two-Family (attached)P2 P P 2 P P P P Dwelling, Multiple-Family6 P2 P P 2 P P P P Accessory Dwelling Unit (accessory to a single one-family dwelling only and provided no other dwellings are on the same lot) A A A A A A A Housing for Senior Citizens P2 P P 2 P P P P Live/Work Unit5, 6 C2,3 C3 - - C 3 - - Managed Living Units5 C2 C - - C - - Mixed-use 6(subject to the uses permitted in this table)P P P P P - - Residential Care Facilities (serving 6 or fewer persons) P 2 P P 2 P P P P Residential Care Facilities (serving more than 6 persons) - C C 2 - C C - Supportive Housing P2 P P 2 P P P P Transitional Housing P2 P P 2 P P P P LODGING VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Bed and Breakfast Inn5 C3 C3 C3 C3 C3 C3 C3 Hotel C C P P - - - Motel - C P P - - - Timeshare Project (prohibited in combination with residential uses in the same building or on the same lot) C - - C - - - RETAIL VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Brewery5 C - C C C - - Convenience Store P C 3 P P C 3 - - Distillery5 C - C C - - - Drive-Thru Facility - - - C - - - Financial Institution P P C 3 P P - - Personal Services P P P P P - - Restaurant P P P P P - - Restaurant, Delicatessen P P P P P - - Restaurant, Fast Food P P P P P - - Restaurant, Limited Take-Out Service P P P P P - - Retail P P P P P - - Winery5 C - C C C - - CH A P T E R 2 LA N D U S E July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 100 of 183 2 2-7MASTER PLAN OFFICE VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Business/Professional Office P2 P P 2 P P - - Medical Office P2 P P 2 P P - - CIVIC VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Community Gardens -Cm - -Cm Cm Cm Cultural Facility P P P P P - - Mobility Hub C - - - - - - Mobility Support Services C C C C - - - Parking Lot (surface), Stand-alone Cm Cm Cm Cm Cm - - Parking Structure C C C C - - - Parks and Open Space C C C C C C C Public/Quasi-public Uses C C C C C C C EDUCATION VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Child Day Care Center C2,3 C3 C2,3 C3 C3 C3 C3 Educational Facilities, Other P2 P P 2 P P - - Educational Institutions or Schools, Public and Private C 2,3 C2,3 C2,3 - - - - OTHER VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Accessory Structure A A A A A A A Athletic and Health Club, Gymnasium, and Physical Conditioning Business P P P 2 P P - - Automobile Service - - - - C 3,4 - - Church, other Places of Worship C C C C C C C Cinema, Theater C C C C - - - Farmer’s Market C - - - - - - Gasoline Station - - - C - - - Laundromat - P P P P - - Light Industrial - - - -C3,4,6 - - Professional Care Facility - - C 2,3 - - - - Right of way Uses R R R R R - - Veterinarian and Small Animal Hospital - P - P P - - Wireless Communication Facility C3 C3 C3 C3 C3 C3 C3 Table 2-1, Permitted Uses (Continued) CH A P T E R 2 LA N D U S E July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 101 of 183 2LAND USE & URBAN FORM 2-8 CARLSBAD VILLAGE & BARRIO EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED USES VC VG HOSP FC PT BP BC Adult Businesses (CMC 8.60)- - - - - - - Bars and Cocktail Lounges Not Part of a Restaurant - - - - - - - Camping on Public Property (CMC 8.36)- - - - - - - Cannabis Actvities (CMC 8.90)- - - - - - - Card Rooms (CMC 5.12)- - - - - - - Drug Paraphernalia Stores - - - - - - - Escort Services (CMC 5.17)- - - - - - - Hookah or Tobacco Lounges - - - - - - - Mini-satellite Wagering (CMC 8.80)- - - - - - - Retail Sale of Dogs and Cats (CMC 7.16)- - - - - - - Tattoo Parlors - - - - - - - P = Permitted Use C = Conditional Use Cm = Minor Conditional Use A = Accessory Use R =Right of Way Use - = Prohibited Use 1 One-family dwellings are permitted when developed (1) as two or more detached units on one lot (VG, PT, BP and BC districts only) or (2) on a small lot (BC district only).

July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 116 of 183 A LEGACY OVERLAY - for Carlsbad’s Village Core June - 2023 An overlay is a planning tool used for special circumstances. A “Legacy Overlay” should be added to the V-B master plan. Once added it will help guide redevelopment in achieving our Collective Vision of a future Village. Tonot add this tool now, we run the significant risk of severely diluting thecurrent and future character qualities of our Village. An important question, we all should ask ourselves, what should influence building the Village’s physical and visual character? What planning & deign factors should have an influence on the overall appearance and character of this unique Carlsbadneighborhood? Specifically, the appearance and character of the Village’score area’s commercial / mixed use semi urban atmosphere. Please bring to mind a mental image of two different street scenes. Comparing State Street and Carlsbad Village Drive, which do you want as the predominate character for the Village center? Imagine Carlsbad believes the following three points should have a major influence on the overall appearance & character of the core area; 1 “Village” as a title / term; what does this title / term mean to the community? And how should that meaning effect / influence thephysical / visual character of the Village Center ? The “start and heart”;our “downtown”; our “Town Center”. We need to write additional standards into the master plan. Standards that will effectively guide redevelopment on critical village attributes. Standards that will protect and enhance the uniqueness and authenticity of this 100+ year oldneighborhood. Or do we take the opposite tack allowing any widthbuilding and just drop the title “Village”. Do we go back, do a retro re- branding, calling this neighborhood “Frazier’s Station”? This alternative might need to be considered so we are not viewed as hypocritical, calling this neighborhood a “Village” but not managing it in respect ofthat title. 2 “Small Town Feel” an expressed and documented core value from the City sponsored “Community Vision” program a few years back. Doesthe size = width of buildings in our “point of focus” Village impact thecommunity’s perception of realizing their desired core value of a “small town feel”? We believe it does! 3 Lineage; Much of the land in this neighborhood was originally dividedinto 50ft wide lots. Should this fact, this physical dimension still influence what we do here today? Or is it just a thing of the past and we can choose to ignore this areas 100+ year lineage. What say you? July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 117 of 183 Imagine Carlsbad’s Vision Pitch - A “legacy Overlay” for the Village core Currently redevelopment & remodels can build any size building they want, as long as it adheres to the height standards now in the master plan. With our proposal this can continue, a building can be the full length of a block inthe street grid. However, our pitch is that these buildings support the Character of the Village with an enhanced street-scene that strengthens the atmosphere of this unique setting. I.C. proposes that wide structures appear as a series of narrower buildings, different facades side by side as viewed from public areas. This narrower width will be based on the area’s original lotwidth, of 50ft. This dimension will be the bull’s eye target width but thereshould be flex in this standard. The standard might be an average width in a series of facades. Widths may vary 40-60ft if there is good reason for the proposed dimension, just meet the intent of the standard. This 50ft dimension will be for the streets designated with a “Main Street” theme in the core area. Some other streets may be able to double or even triple the base dimensionof 50ft for their facades. Sizing will depend on an acceptable street scene worked out in a updated master plan, see the Overlay’s street grid diagram - attached. Counter point - Or do we allow Village Center Character; to be produced solely, property by property, no matter how long the building runs across a property / building site? The I.C. pitch will surly get some push back asdevelopers and their building designers will want to put a single style over theentirety of what they build. Call this branding, ego, or business as usual, each can be used to explain this position. Bottom line, they will chafe a bit at having to subjugate their project’s character (their company identity) to accommodate the desires of the overall neighborhood. Their position will pushfor an “appearance in mass ” covering their building’s total width, limited onlyby the size of their property. This position versus character influenced by the neighborhood’s heritage, a collection of facades. Lets have a “main street” pattern of facades, where a desirable rhythm reinforces the Village Character influenced by a collective neighborhood approach. Appearance based onheritage, with a series of narrower buildings side by side, an eclectic “mainstreet”- scene, you know like in a Village with a 100+ year legacy. 2of4 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 118 of 183 I.C’s. Definition of the term/title “Village” and our Vision for Carlsbad June 2023Hopefully we all agree that a “Village” is an specific location that attracted a gathering of people to come together. For a number of reasons such as safety, commerce and resources, prosperity resulted and the collection of people stayed at this location. Over time this gathering organized themselvesand their compound, building lasting structures from which to live. Buildingsand organization of the area formed a human scale village that allowed them to thrive. The gatherings organization of a relatively small area surrounded by open land and for us an edge of a great ocean. At our location this compound remained a human scaled Village for many years. A starting point for whatwould become a town, a city, that today has grown far beyond the boundariesand scope of its original Village now over a 100 years old. Today view this processes of town planning as a more beneficial form of creating a livable town. A scale and a organic organization that today isreferred to as “Traditional Town Planning”. While the rest of Carlsbad wasplanned, organized and built via an alternate thought process. The pros and cons of these types of town planning can be debated but we will not do that in this paper. Again we hope that we can all agree that the starting point of our town is different than most of the rest of Carlsbad. Unique, authentic andwith village character which is our point. Scale, proportion, walkability froma flat street grid, mixed use and seaside location. What does all that add up to?, what does all that mean? What should that meaning do for all of Carlsbad? What role can it play, what benefit can the Village provide for Carlsbad, for all of Carlsbad beyond being one of our great neighborhoods inwhich to live? If managed correctly, the Village can and should be our best local destination for a day’s outing in a unique environment, relatively close to all with many attributes and activities. So how does that play into the bigger picture of townplanning. You probably thought we had pretty much wrapped up townplanning. Once again, we hope that we also see that the Carlsbad Community has a split, north and south. Areas divided generally by the influence on land use by the airport. What are we doing to mitigate that physical / social division, what steps are we taking to dilute the feeling of“Carnitas” ? The idea of creating a mid town City Hall / Civic Center waspitched and viewed by some as a step in the right direction, equal representation? As we all know, the Civic Center thing went to a split decision so we could all feel we won. Problem solved or what more can be done on the split, or is that it?3of4 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 119 of 183 This pitch is what’s in the City’s “Community Vision” - “revitalize the downtown Village as a community focal point”. I.C. agrees, a local destination that because of its many attributes draws all of our community to it on a regular basis. A hometown destination rather than traveling south to other coastal cities or on to San Diego for that needed special social experience. Ya you got it, a “Town Center” there off in the geo-corner of town. This is theonly Carlsbad neighborhood that has the potential to pull this off, to carry that kind of weight. It is not there yet and needs to be managed well keeping this goal in mind. That is a Vision for a the Carlsbad Community made better, made whole, with a “point of focus”, a Town Center that now has thecontinuing supported of our seat of local governance, the City Hall facility. Astep in that direction is the whole hearted recognition of the Village’s uniqueness and authenticity built on inherent Character, physical and visual. The objectives of our “Legacy Overlay” as described in this position paper, is a step in the right direction towards realizing our “Community Vision”. Implementation - Add a graphic & written Overlay description to the VBMP.Plus amend the Citizens Commission’s draft report for “Objective DesignStandards” in the Village . Modify section 4.2-D (Chapter4 - Appendix E page E-37) as follows; Establish a “Legacy Overlay” for all properties in the three core districts, Central, Hospitality & Freeway Com. Within the Overlay, all new buildings whose scale in width at street edge or whose scale in building massis easily viewed from any area of the public realm, shall mix it’s articulation.A mix to appear as though it is composed by more than one building. Each attached building shall have a distinctly different building type combination (facades). Within the Overlay there are three different street-scenes as framed bybuilding edges. Each of these three street-scenes will have there own standard. A - “Main Street” ; B - “Village Street”; C - “Carlsbad Street” A - “Main Street” - All buildings shall have a combination of different facades with an average width of 50ft. The legacy lot width. B - “Village Street” - All buildings have a maximum 100ft width, over that they must be composed of 2 or more distinct different building type combinations. C - “Carlsbad Street” - All buildings have a maximum 150ft width, over that they must be composed of 2 or more distinct different building type combinations. All distinct, different building types shall be further defined by a 5ft min changein street, or front edge setback. 4of4 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 120 of 183 Carl s b a d V i l l a g e D r i v e Gr a n d Prom e n a d e J e f f e r s o n S t M a d i s o n S t R o o s e v e l t S t S t a t e S t S t a t e S t C a r l s b a d B l v d I N T E R S T A T E F I V E MaGEE PARK M a d i s o n S t J e f f e r s o n S t Oak A v e R o o s e v e l t S t H a r d i n g W a s h i n g t o n S t "A" " A " " A " " A " " A " " A " " A " " A " " A " " A " "A" "B" " C " " C " " C " " C " "B" "B" " B " " B " "A" "A" "B" "B" "B" "B" "B" "B" "B" "B" "B" "B" " A " "A" " A " " A " " A " " A " "B" "B" "B" Pine Gr a n d Prom e n a d e " C " "B" "B" " B " "A" "A" Carlsbad Village's /EGAC< OVER/A< - Three different Street-Scenes A - "Main streets" B - "Village streets" C - "Carlsbad Streets" JUNE 2023 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 121 of 183 1 Shelley Glennon From:Lori Robbins <silentmeowing@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, June 6, 2023 10:44 AM To:Shelley Glennon Subject:Comments on Draft Standards Attachments:email sent 6-6-23.docx Hi Shelley   Attached is a 6 page word document with comments on the Draft Standards.  In general, the document has not been throughly checked and is in need of more illustrations and  specifications.   One comment to note is the Frontage Type of Fences and Bushes which I think should be struck  from the document as it does not represent the Village or Barrio.  Please tell me if you have trouble accessing it.  If you have any questions, feel free  to give me a call at 617‐835‐4529.

There are many discrepancies in this document in addition to unclear descriptions. Continue to build eclectic and diverse neighborhoods that evolve over time. This is the Goal of the Objective Standards. So in that regard, all the “styles” should be allowable to achieve an eclectic, primarily Californian architecture. Provide design details and illustrations that are prescriptive and objective The draft document needs more illustrations and details. Some of the sections don’t match the elevations shown. In addition, for the California Contemporary and Traditional Modern Styles, the illustrations shown are the most extreme versions and are not good examples to prescribe for developers. Ensure buildings are developed using accurate architectural styles that showcase a high level degree of design details….. The draft document needs to have more materials, colors, and other high-end details listed so that inferior products/details are excluded. July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 123 of 183 Diagrams are numbered incorrectly and don’t correspond to the chapter they are in. No Blank Walls. 200’ length should not be allowed. It is not Village or Barrio Character which has smaller footprints that are eclectic in nature. Delete Fences and Hedges as a Frontage Type. Large Apartment buildings typically use a Forecourt as Frontage. Frontage should be architectural in nature and not just a fence or hedge – this is very cheap so would be picked every time. Fences and Hedges do not represent the architecture or street environment in the Village and Barrio. In addition, it creates a feeling of separation and isolation from the public way and is not part of a walkable street. Also, it requires lots of Maintenance for the Bushes and lots of water otherwise it will look unkept quickly. Windows should be recessed a minimum of 2”. Document is unclear and has discrepancies throughout. Wood should be encouraged to be high quality engineered wood to avoid insects, mold and rot damage in our coastal environment. Also is less maintenance. Gutters should be painted metal to match building or copper. Document is unclear and has discrepancies throughout. Roof gardens and interior courtyards are positive design elements. July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 124 of 183 Juliet Balconies should not be excluded. Dominant Colors for new buildings should be traditional architectural colors and should be specified. Landscaping should incorporate larger bushes next to base foundation with smaller plantings in front that relate to the pedestrian path. No chain link fences allowed. The width of the sidewalk should increase relative to the height of the building to create walkable streets. Specific Comments 2.6.1.A Vehicle Ingress and Egress Provide clear signage and height clearance with adequate lighting. Provide clear signage for bicycle and pedestrian entry. 2.6.2.A Building Orientation This section is unclear. 2.6.3.A Window Glazing No Blank Walls. If windows are not allowed because of fire code, provide detailing that adds interest such as recesses that suggest windows. 2.3. District Standards There should be a clear requirement to include one of the frontage details for Barrio and Village. July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 125 of 183 2.6.A Trash Perhaps a requirement for Trash Chute when the density if over a certain threshold. 2.6.C Entrances Stronger language for requirement of decorative entries to garage and front entrance. Add requirement for some decorative detailing and/or artwork to distinguish the entry/building. 3.2 Spanish Revival Section does not match elevation causing confusion. Frontage is not called out or explained. 3.3 Craftsman Section does not match elevation causing confusion. Frontage is not called out or explained. Frontage should be called out as required. Roofs composed of wood is not to fire code. A. 1&2 Confusing Discrepancies: says stucco or stucco shingle materials or stucco or shingle materials– Gutters should be painted to match building. 3.4 American Mercantile Section should call out Frontage Type shown. Gutters should be painted to match building. 3.5 Victorian Base: Should not Allow Cast Concrete which can be make to look like Stone. Base should be stone. Trellis should be engineered wood. July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 126 of 183 3.6 Colonial Revival/Cape Cod A.4 Why is there a limit of 6’ X 8’ porch? 3.7 Traditional Modern The example of Irving Gill’s architecture is one that is not a good representation of what Carlsbad should have. Irving Gill’s style more closely resembled Frank Lloyd Wright than the example shown. Arcades are never fully explained as an architectural feature. I believe the prescription that the openings have to be arched would be better described as an option rather than a prescription. 3.7 California Contemporary The example shown of Contemporary architecture is one that is not a good representation of what Carlsbad should have. They are showing too much concrete on the base level – good Building contemporizes the use concrete in a much more refined way. The illustration seems to recommend Butterfly Roofs – which are not necessarily required in a California Contemporary. Also, the depiction of the butterfly roof is extreme in its execution and many Contemporary Buildings sometimes use a butterfly roof but in a way that is less extreme and defines the architecture. Drainage should be painted to match building Chapter 5 – appendix E Frontage Types 5.3 Front Porch B. dimensions can be a minimum of 6’ x 8’ which is really more of a stoop than a front porch. 5.4 Stoop B. a Stoop can be 6’ x 6’which might feel more like a stair. D.1. An Awning over a stoop can look cheap.5.5 Raised Terrace July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 127 of 183 Should allow for hardscape/landscape option. D. A 3’ high wall is not code for a raised terrace. 5.6 Forecourt 5.7 Fence and HedgeShould be deleted and replaced with low walls and landscaping- it needs to be detailed better.Hedges will be overgrown if not cared for and require lots of water and irrigation systems that sometimes fail. No chain link allowed.Says the fence can be 6’ high which will close it off to pedestrian traffic. Figure 5.6 shows a 42” high fence that people can see over. 6.2.A.1 Discrepancy in this paragraph – windows called out 1” recessed and they should be 2” for all windows. 6.3.B.2 Typo – unclear 60% or 80%? 6.3.A.2 Awnings – says they are a maximum of 6’ and other section says a maximum of 8’ 6.3.B Balconies Entire section is confusing. Need a minimum height i.e. 15’above ground. Why are Juliet Balconies excluded? i.e. 3’ depth. 6.3.D Cantilevered Rooms are way too low off the ground. They should be higher so that they do not create a feeling of enclosure for the pedestrian. 7.37.3 Green Roofs should be encouraged with flat roofs that incorporate decorative parapets that shield mechanical equipment and add interest to the building. Some illustrations would be helpful or photos of existing like the theater on State Street.

July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 141 of 183 The objective design standards do not include any changes to existing development standards such as building heights, density or setbacks and thestandards will only apply to future apartment, condo and mixed-use projects. New state housing laws streamline approval of multifamily housingdevelopment projects to help ease California’s housing crisis. By creating objective design standards, the City of Carlsbad will be able to ensure projects fit in with the overall character of the city. The city's existing standards havebeen updated where needed to meet the state's definition of "objective" since existing subjective design standards are not enforceable. Citywide objective design standards will apply to all areas outside of the Village and Barrio. A separate set of design standards and architectural styleshave been created specifically for the Village and Barrio, two of Carlsbad’s oldest neighborhoods. What's changed? Some of the city’s existing design guidelines were subjective and open to interpretation. These have been replaced with design guidelines that arewritten objectively so they can be uniformly applied without requiring the subjective judgment of decision makers. The draft Village and Barrio objective design standards include seven proposed architectural styles developed based on input gathered from the community last summer and the citizens Design Review Committee formed bythe City Council to guide the creation of the design standards for the Village and Barrio areas. Public input The city is seeking feedback from the public on the draft standards for both areas of the city.

July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 144 of 183 From:Patrick Connolly To:Shelley Glennon Cc:Christine Davis; Melanie Burkholder; Patrick Connolly Subject:DRC Considerations Date:Monday, May 15, 2023 11:05:42 AM Shelley, As you know, I was appointed to the Community Police Engagement Commission requiring that I resign my position on the Design Review Committee (DRC) as the District 1 rep. I hope to be in town for the next DRC meeting to raise these issues during Public Comments, but if not, I wanted to make sure my concerns were documented and placed in the next agenda's packet, especially since there will not be a District 1 rep. First, I was a bit taken back that this meeting was labeled by the city/staff as the last meeting. While I hope the committee can address all the issues involved and make comprehensive recommendation(s) to the Planning Commission/Council at the end of this next meeting, I would have preferred the committee make the decision whether an additional meeting was necessary, especially as it relates to seeking additional public input after reviewing the standards developed by staff/consultant but before the standards were formally adopted and recommended by DRC. Second, it's not clear to me that the technical standards that will be presented will address all concerns that I and other Village/Barrio residents have. Those concerns are directly related to retaining the "character' and "feel" of the Village/Barrio, especially as it relates to walkability and a sense of openness devoid of buildings that overwhelm the Village/Barrio experience. In this regard, I believe there are three areas deserving of additional discussion where additional standards should be considered by the Committee to augment the model standards if these considerations are not addressed in the Staff's proposed standards or by other Planning Department requirements relevant to the expedited process: 1. To the extent that the model standards do not already do this, consideration should be given to ensuring that new construction does not "loom over" and overshadow the public's sense of openness while using the adjacent sidewalk. One suggestion is for multi-story buildings incorporate upper floor setbacks and/or recessed fixtures/patios to minimize any canyon effect, especially if the abut narrower sidewalks/streets. 2. Walkability - the city has been generous in offering fee-based public street and sidewalk space for local businesses to offer outside service. I supported these efforts, but there are instances where the sidewalk is particularly narrow and there is a definite impact on July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 145 of 183 walkability, especially when foot traffic is heavy. (see photos) Consideration should be given to requiring multi-use buildings, where businesses are likely to want outside space for patrons, to incorporate such space for their patrons on their property rather than requesting incursion onto public sidewalks/streets. Several existing businesses have done a very good job in designing such space (see photos). Another possible option is to increase the current standard (5 ft I believe) for the width of sidewalk that must be kept clear. 3. Landscape/Art/Lighting/Utility Screening - the committee did briefly discuss landscaping/art requirements, but it is an area which deserves further discussion, if it will not already addressed by the proposed standards or other Planning Department requirements relevant to the expedited process. In addition, the committee should ensure that the model standards/other requirements include lighting standards appropriate for intended use and public safety AND consistent with the current Village/Barrio's lighting infrastructure. Finally during our tour of the Village/Barrio, there was at least one new multi-use building where Utilities were not screened, detracting from the overall "feel" and "character" of the Village/Barrio experience. Consideration should be given to specific standards which address this issue. I'd also suggest DRC recommend annual reports which document the model chosen and number of times/plans the expedited process is used as well as the number of like plans received which opt for the regular process. I want to thank my fellow Committee members for their thoughtful participation in this process, as well as the staff and consultants for their hard work in putting together our meetings and these standards. I remain available if you or staff have any questions or clarification about the issues identified above. Respectfully.

I may have missed it, but I did not see my email to you prior to the last meeting included in the agenda or any other public record. While I appreciated you raising some of my concerns at the beginning of the last meeting, I do think the entire email (as well as this one) should be made part of the record. 2. Consistent with my concern about walkability and building that might tend to overwhelm that experience, I would not have approved the plan submitted by the staff/consultant because of the inclusion of Traditional Modern and California Contemporary in the Expedited Process I believe that would have meant that the Consultant/Staff's Proposed Plan would not have been approved and further work would have been necessary. While I did request at a prior meeting that those styles be included in the Consultant's draft, after listening to the meeting and reviewing the standards, I do not believe the standards would be sufficient to address my concerns and that those styles should be subject to additional discretionary review as opposed to the ministerial review in the expedited process. 3. I also highly recommend that the Planning Commission include in its recommendation periodic semi-annual or quarterly reports for the first 2 -3 years after the expedited process has been implemented, to better gauge trends that might develop that would negatively impact the Village-Barrio character that we are all trying to preserve. Again, thank you, other Staff, the Consultants, and my fellow Committee members for the work involved in this process.

The use of power poles needs to be addressed. Can power poles be eliminated by requiring utilities be placed underground? Avoid SDG&E line “hardening” within this area. 2.6.1.D Why is a 3 foot fence needed, can there be no fence? 2.6 D.1.b Pedestrian Circulation and Access Should verbiage be added that the pedestrian walkways to Public Sidewalks should be “simple and direct” to avoid overly circuitous routes? 2.7.2- can 5 stories be constructed in 35’ feet, is this for basements or concrete podiums? 3.2 A.3 - Should this also include railings? Should the term “Decorative Forged Steel” be added? 3.2B.8 Is this meant for decorative and nonfunctioning shutters? 3.2.D July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 157 of 183 Should top cast concrete GFRC , be allowed at eaves? 3.3 Craftsman – second paragraph, Delete the term “river” the second sentence of the second paragraph. Allow the use of any stone. 3.7 Traditional Modern Might want to add the use of Pergola’s is encouraged, similar to Women’s Club in La Jolla. Should the use of white exterior plaster be encouraged? 3.8 California Contemporary Give a percentage of light colored materials (75%?) that must be used. Limit the use of major materials on the exterior facades of the project to three (3) different materials. Figure 4.7 Please articulate both facades that face streets when a building is at the corner. This figure seems to depict a mid block scenario. The façade on the right should not be blank. 5.6 Forecourt title( left justify?) 5.6.C Disallow the use of Forecourts as parking. 5.7.B.2 75’ long hedge along the street front seems too long. 50’ would mirror the historical lot widths. 6.2 Call out a material for the windows. Metal or wood for most of the styles but especially California Contemporary. No Vinyl or fiberglass. 7.3. F Delete the use of mansard roof or limit it to the Victorian style. Limit the use of the roof material to Standing Metal Seam for Mansard roofs July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 158 of 183 Thanks and great job!

July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 161 of 183 VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN DESIGN GUIDELINES SDP 2018-0014/MS 2018-0011 (DEV2018-0156) – 635 PINE AVE CONDOS INTENT The Design Guidelines (guidelines) intend to implement and enhance the existing character within the Village and Barrio as new development and property improvements occur. Together, the Village and Barrio are a unique, mixed-use environment. They serve as both a shopping and entertainment destination as well as a place to live and work. The guidelines aim to improve the character of the Village and Barrio while improving livability. Guidelines address many components of building style and orientation, including site layout, building massing, roof form, building façades, and appurtenances. Images are intended to provide a visual example of a targeted topic described in the caption and may not represent all aspects and direction provided within this document. Through these areas of focus, the guidelines strive to foster authentic designs with straightforward and functional construction. All development should align with the spirit and intent of the design guidelines presented in this chapter. Designers and developers should consider at a minimum that these guidelines are a starting point for quality development, and do not comprise every possible strategy for achieving high quality design. Therefore, it is prudent that designers use their own techniques for achieving authentic, high quality design. The following guidelines apply to all new and remodeled development within the entire Master Plan Area unless exempt as determined by Section 6.3.2. 2.8.2 SITE PLANNING GUIDELINES CONSISTENCY STATEMENT A.Site layout 1.Place buildings adjacent to, and oriented towards, the street. Locate prominent architectural features near corners and intersections. 2.Orient storefronts and major building entries towards major streets, courtyards, or plazas. 3.Minimize gaps between buildings in order to create a continuous, pedestrian- oriented environment. 4.Place parking lots so as not to interrupt commercial street frontages. 5.Incorporate functional and aesthetic vehicular and pedestrian connections to adjacent sites. 6.Create small pedestrian plazas along the street wall through the use of recesses in building form. 7.Provide easily identifiable pedestrian access from the street and/or sidewalk to key areas within the site. 8.Incorporate plazas, landscaped areas, fountains, public art, textured pavement, and vertical building features to create focal points that enhance a pedestrian’s experience. 9.Utilize atriums and outdoor courtyards to increase the variety and number of views and to bring additional sunlight into large developments. 10.Give careful design consideration to corner lots, as they are typically a focal point in the urban fabric. 11.Utilize courtyards or other methods to break up the building mass and provide natural ventilation, wherever possible. The proposed site layout for the four- unit condominium project takes advantage of the configuration of the lot by placing the front doors of every unit along Pine Avenue. The front doors to the units are accessed via the public sidewalk. The entrances to the units feature covered porches with balconies above. The architecture of the building provides articulation along both street frontages to provide varied, interesting façades and incorporates landscaping areas along the Pine Avenue and Roosevelt frontages. Vehicular access to each unit is provided by a 24-foot-wide private drive-aisle off the Roosevelt Street alley. B.Parking and access 1.Locate parking behind buildings and away from the street, wherever possible. 2.Use pervious paving materials, whenever possible. 3.Buffer residential uses from commercial parking lots by landscaping, fencing, and/or walls. 4.When walls or fences are utilized to screen parking, provide breaks to allow for One vehicular access point is proposed off the Roosevelt Street alley. The proposed drive aisle is deep enough to avoid vehicles blocking the alley. ATTACHMENT 4 Define 'prominent architectural features.' How small is an acceptable gap? Define 'functional and aesthetic connections.' How small is an acceptable recess? Define 'easily identifiable pedestrian access'. Define 'focal points.' Should calculations for sunlight and ventilation be required? Define 'careful design consideration.' Define 'buffer residential uses.' How small is an acceptable break? How far from the street? How small is an acceptable break? July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 162 of 183 pedestrian circulation and limit height for safety and security purposes. 5.Divide large parking lots into smaller areas with landscaping and clearly marked pedestrian paths. 6.Highlight primary pedestrian access paths within parking areas with decorative paving, trellises, canopies, lighting, and similar improvements. 7.Create pedestrian paseos to parking lots of buildings. 8.Locate parking below grade or in structures, where feasible. 9.Design parking structures so their height and bulk are consistent with adjacent buildings. 10.Provide bicycle parking at convenient locations such as entrances or other visible and accessible areas. 11.Provide electric vehicle charging stations and equipment where feasible and as otherwise required. Each unit proposes an attached two- car garage with a direct entrance into the unit. Electric vehicle charging stations are not required. However, the circuiting necessary to allow vehicle charging within the private garages will be required so that individual homeowners may install a charging station in the future. C.Plazas and open space 1.Provide private or common open space and pedestrian connections to such spaces to enhance the living environment and contribute to a walkable neighborhood character. 2.Semi-public outdoor spaces, such as small plazas and courtyards are encouraged between private and public spaces to support pedestrian activity and connectivity. 3.Design plazas and building entries to maximize circulation opportunities between adjacent uses. 4.Provide landscaping and high-quality paving materials, such as stone, concrete or tile, for plazas and open spaces. 5.Place outdoor furniture, such as seating, low walls, trash receptacles, bike racks and other elements, in outdoor pedestrian spaces. 6.Site buildings to define open space areas. Ensure that outdoor areas are visible from public streets and accessible from buildings, as well as, streets and pedestrian and bicycle networks. The proposed four-unit condominium project complies with the private open space requirements of the Pine-Tyler Mixed-Use (PT) District of the Village and Barrio Master Plan (VBMP), which requires a minimum of ten percent of the lot area to be maintained as open space. Additionally, each unit must contain a minimum of 60 square feet of private open space. Each unit contains 255 square feet of residential private open space (185- square-foot roof decks and 70- square-foot second-floor balconies) which exceeds the minimum private open space required area and minimum dimensions. Residential common open space is not required as the project does not propose ten or more units. F.Mechanical Equipment and Service Areas 1.Carefully design, locate, and integrate service, utility, and loading areas into the site plan. These critical functional elements should not detract from the public view shed area or create a nuisance for adjacent property owners, pedestrian circulation, or vehicle traffic. 2.Locate loading areas in the rear of a site where possible. 3.Locate mechanical equipment and service areas along and accessed from alleys or the rear of properties, wherever possible. 4.Place public utility equipment, meter pedestals, and transformers underground or away from sidewalks and pedestrian areas, where feasible. 5.Screen all mechanical equipment from public view. 6.Ensure roof mounted mechanical equipment and screening do not interfere with required solar zones or installed solar photovoltaic or solar water heating systems. Air conditioning units for all four units will be located on the roof-top decks and will be adequately screened by the deck guardrails. Each unit will have its own trash and recycling bins within the private garages. Roof plans demonstrate adequate solar zones for future photovoltaic systems. What height is safe? What is the size difference between a large & small parking lot? Define 'clearly marked' and 'highlight,' & 'pedestrian paseos.' How can context define bulk? Convenient for who? Pedestrians, cyclist or developer? Define. Define. Define. Does open space = parking? Should buildings next to/or across from park or open space be designed differently from buildings developed within the street grid? Should buildings next to parks face the open space and be allowed to have higher density? Define. How far from the sidewalk? What types of screen & how large should they be? July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 163 of 183 7.Design trash and recycling enclosures to be consistent with the project and building architecture, and site and screen them to minimize visual impact. G.Landscaping Landscaping shall meet the policies and requirements set forth in the City of Carlsbad Landscape Manual. 1.Utilize landscaping to define building entrances, parking lots, and the edge of various land uses. 2.Utilize landscaping to buffer and screen properties. 3.Consider safety, environmental impacts, and accent elements when selecting and locating landscaping elements. 4.Landscaping, between the front property line and the building creates a visually interesting transitional space. Select and place plants to enhance and soften architectural elevations, screen undesirable building features and contribute to the overall quality of the streetscape. 5.Select species that are compatible with Carlsbad’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate, and that will grow to an appropriate size at maturity. 6.When there are minimal landscape areas between the building and the street, incorporate planters onto porches, recessed building entrances, and planters on decks and balconies. 7.Minimize paved vehicle areas such as driveways and parking areas. Design driveways to be no wider than necessary to provide access. Incorporate permeable surfaces, such as interlocking pavers, porous asphalt, power blocks, and lattice blocks/ grasscrete or ribbon driveways where feasible. 8.Utilize planting to screen less-desirable areas from public view, i.e., trash, enclosures, parking areas, storage areas, loading areas, and public utilities. 9.Provide landscaping between any parking lot and adjacent sidewalks or other paved pedestrian areas, as well as, within surface parking lots. 10.Incorporate native and drought tolerant vegetation whenever possible. Avoid use of invasive or noxious plants. 11.Incorporate lattice work and landscaping onto existing blank walls to support flowering vines growing out of planters placed at their base. 12.Plant trees and fast growing and flowering vines along fences and walls tosoften the appearance of the fencing and screen views to functional on-site work and storage areas. 13.Utilize vines, espaliers, and potted plants to provide wall, column, and post texture and color and to accentuate entryways, courtyards, and sidewalks. 14.Incorporate large planters into seating areas. Planters should be open to the soil below and should incorporate permanent irrigation systems. 15.Maintain landscaping and yard areas regularly to keep a desirable, healthy appearance, eliminate trash, and control vermin. 16.Incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) strategies, site design, and source control measures into projects. Examples include rain gardens, rain barrels, grassy swales, soil amendments, and native plants. 17.Utilize seasonal shading from trees and shrubs when developing planting schemes for courtyards and streetscapes on south and west facing facades. The proposed landscape plan complies with the city’s Landscape Manual. Landscaping is provided between the back of the sidewalk and the building facing Roosevelt Street and Pine Avenue. H.Fences and walls 1.Construct fences of quality and durable materials, such as, wood, vinyl or wrought No fences or walls are proposed along the front, rear, or street side Is there a list of acceptable plants and/or street trees? Define? What undesirable features? Define? Define? How can landscape be used to define and buffer? What % screening is required? 100%, 50%? What is considered minimal?

A six-foot high wooden fence is proposed along the interior side setback and a 3.5-foot fence is proposed parallel to the front yard setback line. 2.8.3 BUILDING FORM AND MASSING GUIDELINES CONSISTENCY STATEMENT A.Building Form and Articulation 1.Reduce the imposing appearance of tall buildings by stepping back from street level on elevations above the ground floor. 2.Utilize horizontal and vertical articulation to break up monolithic street walls and facades. 3.Utilize techniques to reduce massing, such as variation in wall plane and height and variation in roof form and levels. 4.Surface detailing may be used but does not serve as a substitute for distinctive massing. 5.Consider adjacent low density uses when designing and orienting a building. For example, avoid balconies overlooking rear yards. 6.Minimize the vertical emphasis of architectural design elements by incorporating features such as horizontal bands, reveals, trims, awnings, eaves, and overhangs or other ornamentation, along different levels of the wall surface. 7.Minimize blank walls by: a.Adding window openings and/or entrances and other relief. b.Providing recessed glazing and storefronts. c.Adding vertical pilasters which may reflect internal building structure. d.Changing color and texture along the wall surface. e.Varying the planes of the exterior walls in depth and/or direction. f.Adding trims, projections, and reveals along different wall surfaces. 8.Articulate the building façade by varying building elements to create contrast. Integrate all architectural elements into the building design to avoid the look of “tacked on” architectural features. 9.Utilize facade projections and recesses such as bay windows, planter boxes, roof overhangs, and entry way recesses. 10.Arrange columns such that they appear to support the weight of the building or feature above and are balanced in height, weight, and depth. Spindly columns can appear out of proportion with the element it is supporting. 11.Size shutters appropriately, when used to cover the window opening. 12.Avoid exterior sliding or fixed security grilles over windows along street frontages. 13.Discourage and avoid “chain” corporate architecture and generic designs. Each project should strive to achieve the unique architectural style or character. 14.Design roofs to accommodate a solar photo-voltaic system and/or solar water heating system, as required by California Building Code. 15.Utilize details such as wall surfaces constructed with patterns, changes in materials, building pop-outs, columns, and recessed areas to create shadow The building is designed with several vertical and horizontal alternating planes along Pine Avenue, Roosevelt Street, and the Roosevelt Street Alley. The rooflines are also appropriately varied in pitch and height. Doors, windows, and balconies as well as adequately weighted architectural projections minimize potentially blank walls. Define architectural elements for site walls. Define maximum height for site walls. Define stepping intervals. Define articulation elements for walls. Should these be combined? Are adjacency standards being developed for building adjacent to low density context, historic buildings, sensitive habitat, etc? Avoid appliqué. Reveals, eaves, overhangs could be adequate. Would these be defined as architectural articulation or elements? Should a minimum (of 3?) be defined? Instead of ADD use incorporate. Instead of VARY specify a minimum number amount (i.e. two or more, 2" deep, full height recessed panels). To , incorporate vertical pilasters. Would these be defined as architectural articulation or elements? Should a minimum be defined? Define balanced columns, or specify minimum sizes to provide adequate structural & fire resistance requirements. Avoid appliqué. No shutters, unless they are functional. Define VBMP character. Can Net Zero or passive design be required, surpassing the minimums of the building code? July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 165 of 183 patterns and depth on the wall surfaces. 16.Ensure that proportions are consistent with selected architectural styles. 17.Incorporate the characteristic proportions of traditional facades in new infill development. 18.Balance the ratio of height, width, and depth of arches and columns to emphasize strength and balance. 19.Ensure consistency between the height of a column and its mass or thickness with the weight of the overhead structure the column supports. 20.Infill buildings that are much wider than the existing facades should be broken down into a series of appropriately proportioned structural bays or components. 21.Consider transitions between the height of new development and the height of adjacent existing development. 22.Utilize vertical building focal elements. Towers, spires, or domes may foster community identity and serve as landmarks. 23.Utilize windows and open wrought iron balconies to provide opportunities for residents to passively observe and report suspicious activity. 24.Utilize accent materials to highlight building features and provide visual interest. Accent materials may include any of the following: a.Wood b.Glass c.Glass block (transom) d.Tile e.Brick f.Concrete g.Stone h.Awnings i.Plaster (smooth or textured) 25.Use building materials and finishes that are true to the structure’s architectural style. 26.Windows, doors, and entries should be designed to capture the desired architectural style of the building. 27.Generally, use no more than three different materials on exterior wall surfaces. While certain styles may successfully incorporate multiple surface materials, caution must be used as too many materials can result in a less than aesthetically pleasing building. 28.Ensure material changes occur at intersecting planes, preferably at inside corners of changing wall planes or where architectural elements intersect, such as a chimney, pilaster, or projection. 29.Utilize light and neutral base colors. Generally muted color schemes will promote visual unity and allow awnings, window displays, signs and landscaping to be given proper emphasis. 30.Ensure lighting is architecturally compatible with the building. 31.Articulate storefronts with carefully arranged doors, windows, arches, trellises, or awnings, rather than blank walls. Should a minimum be defined? How is this determined? Define balanced columns, or specify minimum sizes to provide adequate structural & fire resistance requirements. Define bay sizes to provide adequate structural & fire resistance requirements. Are adjacency standards being developed for building adjacent to low density context, historic buildings, sensitive habitat, etc? How is this enforced? Reference Residential Design standards on page 7, #3 and use "eyes on the street"(fire rated for exposed exterior installations) (clear glass at storefront installations - no frost or opaque laminate) True, Desired? Should this be compatible or in-keeping with the specified architectural style? Could specific materials and possibly colors be specified for certain architectural styles? How can one ensure that lighting is compatible? What is carefully arranged - glass, mullions, arches? Would these be defined by size or %? and/or by architectural style? July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 166 of 183 32.Ensure that the main entrance to a building is clearly identifiable and unique, as it is the primary point of arrival and should be treated with significance. 33.Window type, material, shape, and proportion should complement the architectural style of the building. 34.Utilize recessed windows where appropriate to the architectural style, to provide depth. C.Balconies 1.Place balconies adjacent to operable doorways. Faux balconies or those that do not appear usable are discouraged. 2.Visually support all balconies, either from below by decorative beams and/or brackets, from above by cables, or by other parts of the building. 3.On corners, balconies may wrap around the side of the building. Usable second floor balconies are provided for each unit. The balconies are supported by adequately weighted columns and are accented with architecturally interesting guardrails and roofs. D.Roof Forms 1.Ensure that roof materials and colors are consistent with the desired architecture or style of the building. 2.Utilize multi-roof forms, hips, gables, shed roof combinations, and sufficiently articulated flat roofs to create interesting and varying roof forms that will reduce building mass, add visual appeal, and enhance existing Village and Barrio character and massing. 3.Avoid long, unbroken, horizontal roof lines. 4.Avoid flat roofs unless sufficient articulation of detail is provided, such as precast treatments, continuous banding or projecting cornices, lentils, caps, corner details, or variety in pitch (sculpted), height, and roofline. 5.Avoid the “tacked on” appearance of parapets, and ensure their appearance conveys a sense of permanence. If the interior side of a parapet is visible from thepedestrian and/or motorist area of the project, utilize appropriate detail and properly apply materials. The proposed rooflines are appropriately varied in pitch and height. The building proposes a mix of flat, pitched, and gabled roof lines. E.Lighting 1.Provide exterior building lighting, particularly in commercial and high- pedestrian areas. 2.Design or select light fixtures that are architecturally compatible with the building. 3.Integrate light fixtures that are downcast or low cut-off fixtures to prevent glare and light pollution. 4.Design lighting in such a way as to prevent the direct view of the light source from adjacent properties or uses, particularly residential properties or uses. 5.Utilize lighting on architectural details, focal points, and parking areas to increase safety, help with orientation, and highlight and site attributes and the identity of an area. 6.Use energy-efficient lamps such as LED lights for all exterior lighting along with adaptive lighting controls to contribute to energy conservation and potentially reduce long-term costs. Exterior lighting fixtures will be located throughout the building and consistent with typical residential lighting. F.Residential Design 1.Design with architectural features such as porches, balconies, chimneys, door placement, window proportions, dormers, wood detailing, fencing, siding, and color scheme to complement the overall building design, site and neighborhood context. 2.Incorporate porches, trellises, landscaping, and other features to extend the The four-unit residential condominium project has been designed with porches and balconies. The exterior finishes and trim materials and colors complement the overall building design. All of the Could architectural styles provide entry examples of entries? How is complement quantified? Any balcony that is open to the outside is better than no balcony. Juliette balconies create depth and should be encouraged if it complements the architectural style. Agreed, but how does this comply with the CBC & Title 24 required cool roofs or solar panels? ? Where is the VBMP character defined? Wouldn't this depend on the architectural style & are these elements more indicative of historic structures? Almost all facade materials are "applied." How is this avoided? Agreed that lighting should be provided for safety and all selections should complement the proposed architectural style. Exterior lights should be shielded from any out or upward light spread. All lighting should comply with the California Building Code, electrical code and & Title 24 required specifications, or better. Consider modifying these standards. Agreed. Are there defined standards for context?

Where possible, recess the garage behind the dwelling unit and do not locate it between the main living area and the street. 8.Recess garage doors into the exterior wall, rather than keeping them flush. 9.Design detached garages and accessory structures to be an integral part of the architecture of the project. They should be similar in materials, color, and detail to the principal structures of a development. units front on public sidewalks and landscaping is provided consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and designed appropriately for the residential site. Private and common open space is adequately provided, and garages are located off a drive- aisle via an alley and do not face directly onto the street. This is good, but how is it defined, and how can a building encourage community? Love Jane Jacobs, but if parking lots and garages continue to be allowed on the ground floor, this will never happen. Avoid kickers (use column bases if applicable), fixed non-operable shutters, empty flower boxes, which all have am applied look. How is usable defined? Garages should no longer be allowed on the ground floor. Garages create blank street walls and add to the dwindling open space. Semi recessed or fully recessed subterranean garage structures should be required.

Example, "distinctive doorcolors or design"So the village is not bland, and for the sake of charm encourage color and artisanelements in tiles for example. Wood is being required in many areas for building according to historical architecturetypes. Suggest wood substitutes. Specifically composite or 3d printable products.These can look the same and be more environmentally friendly and have longevityand be fire retardant. For example various composite or metal doors can have a wood look and be moresecure affordable or can be 3d printed to offer interesting distinctive surfacesculpture. Suggest substitute fire retardant and termite and rot resistant materials beallowed in exchange for wood not only in doors, but anywhere wood is called for..(Also allowing for advances in technology). The places where wood materials are specified as architectural elements are areaswhere termites can break down the wood. How about allowing the image of wood or"wood composite" or "trex" or "wood-like" products that are more durable and can infuture be 3d printed...for decks, overhangs etc?

Yes, I'd like to be kept informed as this project moves forward.My granddaughter, 17, who attends Sage Creek, says -"no alleys, because homeless people can hang out in them", and -"A beachy feel to the colors, like blue and white". She's becoming interested in architecture. I myself, who am over 65 and a white female,am envisioning -Rear entrances and alleys,-Apartment buildings, if they MUST go in, spaced at least 3 blocks away from one another so no one area has to bear the darkness and shadow, noise,and sometimes general gloom they cancast, and white in color. with a bit of latin-feeling trim, as has been done on the Cedar Nettleton apartments on Nettleton Road in Vista off of Vista way.* Photos from phone.tofollow in separate email -ADUs promoted above all with a BIG campaign, especially if sweetened with free planningpermits and project help and possibly a reduced fee or free common building materials they would all have in common..-Hidden parking and plenty of it. A parking building or underground parking or/and parking stalls with solar on top..- I will try to send, separately, a couple of photos I took today in Vista which had a gentle Barrio but safe and clean feel to me, after glancing at the outside. They're across from QualityRecycling, where I'd parked for the morning. -One thing I can't stand is dark, possibly dank hallways in apartment buildings. As an ideal, aproject with an open space in the middle, as the LIND project in Little Italy carefully composed about 18 (or more) years ago, with a little green spot and some air could make a lotof difference for the residents. -I'd be against apartments but it's probably not up to me.I live in Calavera Hills.

July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 172 of 183 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 173 of 183 PROJECT ANALYSIS Exhibit 7 (GENERAL PLAN, MUNICIPAL CODE, AND OTHER REGULATIONS ) PROJECT ANALYSIS The project is subject to the following regulations: A. State Regulations B. General Plan C. Village-Barrio (V-B) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.203) D. Local Coastal Program E. Village and Barrio Master Plan F. Growth Management Program G. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of the above regulations is discussed in detail within the sections below. A. State Regulations State Regulations Analysis Housing Accountability Act (1982, amended 2018) (Government Code section 65589.5) – SB-167 was passed to prohibit local agencies from denying or render infeasible affordable housing projects without making specific findings based on substantial evidence. It requires that local jurisdictions expedite the production of affordable housing projects by requiring a streamlined review process and that the projects be approved or denied based solely on objective regulatory standards requirements. CA Senate Bill 35 (SB-35) (2017) (Housing Accountability & Affordability Act – SB-35 allows eligible projects to be approved through a streamlined ministerial approval process subject to objective regulatory standards and criteria and affordable housing requirements. CA Senate Bill 330 (SB-330) (2019)/SB 8 (2020) (Housing Crisis Act of 2019) – Commonly referred to as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, this law also requires jurisdictions to streamline the approval process for qualified multifamily housing projects based on objective regulatory standards but does not require ministerial approval. Therefore, the city cannot use subjective standards or guidelines that are subjective in nature to deny SB-35, SB-330, or other applicable projects subject to Government Code Section 65589.5 (Housing Accountability Act). Project Findings The project proposes objective design standards for eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects subject to the state laws discussed above. Eligible projects as defined in Chapter E-1 Section 1.3 “Eligibility.” This project will assist in the state’s mandatory streamlined review processes and the city will have in place standards that eligible projects must comply with. Pursuant to state law, the existing subjective design guidelines and standards within the Village and Barrio Master Plan cannot July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 174 of 183 be enforced for eligible projects. Therefore, these standards will be implemented in replacement of those subjective standards/guidelines. B. General Plan Consistency The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan as described in the table below: TABLE A – GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM PROPOSED PROJECT COMPLIANCE COMPLY? Housing Housing Element Program 1.11: Objective Design Standards - State law defines objective design standards as those that “involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant and public official prior to submittal.” The city is undertaking this project to conform with recent State law changes that require local jurisdictions to adopt objective standards and streamline the review and permitting processes for housing development. The project will establish objective design standards for eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects for the Village and Barrio Master Plan area. These standards will be used in the streamlined permitting review process for both affordable and market-rate housing development projects, since objective design standards by definition, “do not require personal or subjective judgement by a public reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official before submittal. (Government Code Sections 65913.4 and 66300(a)(7)].” Therefore, the adoption of this project does implement Housing Element Program 1.11 within the timeframe required. YES Housing Housing Element Policy 10.P.8 Develop and adopt objective design standards that will be used for all mixed use and multifamily housing projects See above explanation. YES Land Use & Community Design Land Use and Community Design Element Goal 2-G.4 Provide balanced neighborhoods with a variety of housing types and density ranges to meet the diverse demographic, economic and social needs of residents, The project proposes objective design standards for eligible multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects that will allow for a variety of architectural styles (Chapter E-3) and building types (Chapter E-4) that honor YES July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 175 of 183 ELEMENT USE, CLASSIFICATION, GOAL, OBJECTIVE OR PROGRAM PROPOSED PROJECT COMPLIANCE COMPLY? while ensuring a cohesive urban form with careful regard for compatibility the Village and Barrio neighborhood’s existing community character. Land Use & Community Design Land Use and Community Design Element Goal 2-G-30 Develop a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging a variety of uses and activities, such as a mix of residential, commercial, office, restaurants and specialty retail shops, which traditionally locate in a pedestrian-oriented downtown area and attract visitors and residents from across the community by creating a lively, interesting social environment. The proposed objective design standards will encourage mixed-use development projects within the Village that must be designed to be pedestrian oriented, include attractive storefronts (Chapter E-5) and incorporate pedestrian access and bicycle facilities (Chapter E-2) that can attract both visitors and residents to the Village Center. YES Land Use & Community Design Land Use and Community Design Element Goal 2-G.31 Promote rejuvenation of the Barrio while maintaining its walkable, residential character, and ensuring that new development enhances neighborhood quality and character. The objective design standards will ensure future multifamily housing development projects incorporate high quality building design elements (Chapter E3-E7) and are pedestrian oriented/walkable (Chapter E-2 and E- 5), therefore enhancing the Barrio neighborhood’s quality and character. YES Land Use & Community Design Land Use and Community Design Element Policy 2-P.6 Encourage the provision of lower and moderate-income housing to meet the objectives of the Housing Element. The project will encourage the provision of lower and moderate- income housing to meet the objectives of the Housing Element, specifically objective for Program 1.11, “Objective Design Standards.” Program 1.11 is intended to satisfy 30 low-income housing units by assisting in the streamlined permitting review process that requires an affordable housing component subject to state law (i.e. SB 35 eligible projects). YES C. Village-Barrio (V-B) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35) The project area is zoned Village-Barrio (V-B), which incorporates the development standards of the Village and Barrio Master Plan by reference (See Section E below). Pursuant to Section 21.35.090, “Amendments to the Village and Barrio master plan shall be deemed to be amendments to this chapter; provided, however, that such amendments are processed and noticed in a manner which meets the requirements of Chapter 21.52 of this code and are approved and adopted by city council ordinance.” July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 176 of 183 The proposed Village and Barrio Master Plan amendment has been noticed consistent with the requirements of Chapter 21.52. The project also proposes to be adopted by City Council ordinance; therefore, the project is consistent with the Village-Barrio Zone. D. Conformance with the Local Coastal Program The project involves the Village and Barrio Master area which includes portions of the Village area segment of the Local Coastal Program and therefore requires a Local Coastal Program Amendment to be submitted to the California Coastal Commission for review and approval in accordance with the California Coastal Act. The project complies with the Local Coastal Program, including all applicable goals and policies of the General Plan and Village and Barrio Master Plan, as referenced above. E. Village and Barrio Master Plan The proposed Village and Barrio Master Plan Amendment was reviewed for consistency with the Master Plan’s vision, goals and policies as discussed in Table B below: TABLE B- VILLAGE & BARRIO MASTER PLAN VISION, GOALS and POLICY COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS Vision, Goals or Policy No. VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN VISION, GOALS or POLICY PROPOSED PROJECT COMPLIANCE Comply? 1.4 - VISION Attract high quality, sustainable development that enhances vitality and local character. Overall, development standards and guidelines of the Master Plan maintain existing land use patterns and densities and accommodate both residential and non-residential growth. Existing character is respected and also enriched by emphasizing a street network inviting and attractive to all users, whether arriving on foot or bike, by car or transit, and a pedestrian-orientation for buildings and public spaces. Further, in keeping with the eclectic mix of building designs prevalent in the Village and Barrio, the Master Plan emphasizes quality architecture over any particular style. The importance the Master Plan places on design, circulation and One of the project’s goals for implementing these design standards is to balance the VBMP vision of “high quality development…that enhances local character” with changing state requirements related to well defined, objective development standards. The proposed project achieves this balance by establishing defined architectural styles that will ensure high quality development that is compatible with the local character. Incorporating architectural styles in the VBMP is a shift from the original approach of the plan and requires a slight verbiage modification in the vision statement, although this modification does not detract from the overall vision. In fact, the incorporation of the architectural styles allows the city to retain a role in ensuring future development contributes to and enhances the local neighborhood character.

Encourage mixed use development projects in the Village Center, with an emphasis on pedestrian-oriented retail uses on the ground floor, and office, other non-residential, and residential uses on the upper floors. The proposed objective design standards will encourage mixed-use development projects within the Village that are designed to be pedestrian oriented and include attractive commercial/retail storefronts on the bottom floor (Chapter E-5) and residential uses on the upper floors. Yes 1.5.1 Land Use and Community Character B. Maintain and enhance the predominately residential character of the Barrio 1. Encourage a range of housing types, including medium density single-family, two-family and small-scale multi-family development in the Barrio center, and higher density multi- family housing in the perimeter, consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map. The project will encourage development of two-family and small scale multifamily development in the Barrio center and higher density multifamily housing in the Barrio Perimeter subdistricts consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map by assisting in the streamlined permitting review process of these types of residential development projects. Yes 1.5.1 Land Use and Community Character C - Promote infill development and private reinvestment in property in a way that protects and enhances the character of the Village and Barrio yet provides enough flexibility and opportunity for quality growth. 1. Enforce design guidelines that identify components of good design and promote compatibility with existing context, but do not specify any particular architecture or discourage creativity, in keeping In compliance with state regulations, the project is intended to establish objective design standards (where subjective guidelines can no longer be enforced) to ensure multifamily housing and mixed-use development buildings are developed using architectural styles that showcase design details as traditionally built throughout the Village and Barrio Neighborhoods.

Recommended Text Revision provided in Exhibit 1a 1.5.3 Connectivity A. Establish better connectivity within the Village and Barrio and between the two neighborhoods and their surroundings. 2. Encourage better connectivity between the center of the Village and the Barrio, including continuous bike and pedestrian access and improvements and design elements like street trees, pedestrian lighting, public art and pedestrian-oriented buildings. The project will include site design standards requiring multifamily and mixed-use development projects to incorporate bicycle facilities and pedestrian circulation and access (Chapter 2 Section 2.6). Additionally, Chapter E-5 “Frontage Types Standards” will ensure buildings are designed to face or front onto a primary street walkway and reinforce the neighborhood’s pedestrian orientation. Yes F. Growth Management Program (CMC Chapter 21.90) The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant of the city. There will be no impact to public facilities because the project is not proposing any construction and the proposed Village and Barrio objective design standards for multifamily housing and mixed-use development will facilitate and accommodate development at the density permitted on the site, therefore not impacting the existing Growth Management planned dwelling quantities or performance standards. G. McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan The Project site is subject to the policies and standards outlined in the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) as portions of it are located within the Airport Influence Area. The project was reviewed by the Airport Land Use Commission on July 6, 2023 and determined to be consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) based upon the July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 179 of 183 facts and findings summarized in the Consistency Determination letter provided to staff (see Exhibit 8). Specifically, the project does not propose any changes in land use zones, or allowable densities and does not involve any actual development that may impact any noise exposure contours or airspace protection boundaries. No further review is required. July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 180 of 183 June 1, 2023 Ms. Shelley Glennon City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Re: Airport Land Use Commission Consistency Determination – Amendment to Village and Barrio Master Plan implementing Objective Design Standards, City of Carlsbad Dear Ms. Glennon: As the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for San Diego county, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) acknowledges receipt of an application for a determination of consistency for the project described above. The area covered by this project lies within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport - Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). ALUC staff has reviewed your application and accompanying materials and has determined that it meets our requirements for completeness. In accordance with SDCRAA Policy 8.30 and applicable provisions of the State Aeronautics Act (Cal. Pub. Util. Code §21670-21679.5), ALUC staff will report to the ALUC that the proposed project is consistent with the McClellan-Palomar Airport ALUCP based upon the facts and findings summarized below: (1) The project involves an amendment to the Village and Barrio Master Plan to incorporate objective design standards addressing site and building design characteristics. No actual development is proposed by the project, nor does it propose any changes in land use zones or allowable densities. (2)The proposed project does not involve any actual development and, thus, does not impact any noise exposure contours. Future development under the amendment must follow the noise exposure standards of the ALUCP. (3)The proposed project does not involve any actual development and, thus, does not impact any airspace protection boundaries. Future development under the amendment must follow the airspace protection standards of the ALUCP. Exhibit 8 July, 19, 2023 Item #3 Page 181 of 183 (4) The proposed project does not involve any actual development and, thus, does not impact any safety zones. Future development under the amendment must follow the safety standards of the ALUCP. (5) The proposed project does not involve any actual development and, thus, does not impact any overflight notification requirements. Future development under the amendment must follow the overflight notification standards of the ALUCP. (6) Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the McClellan-Palomar ALUCP. (7) A determination of consistency is not a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Cal. Pub. Res. Code §21065, and is not a “development” as defined by the California Coastal Act, Cal. Pub. Res. Code §30106.
