AGENDA OF: August 16, 1995 Item No: @ Application complete date: July 7, 1995 Project Planner: Eric Munoz Project Engineer: Jim Davis SUBJECT: LCPA 95-03 • AVIARA LCP AMENDMENT -Request for a Major Local Coastal Program Amendment to reflect three recently approved minor master plan amendments to the Aviara Master Plan (the implementing ordinance for the Aviara property) located north of the Batiquitos Lagoon, east of the 1-5 freeway, within the Coastal Zone in Local Facilities Management Zone 19. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3787, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of LCPA 95-03, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION This application involves a Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment to acknowledge and consolidate three recently approved minor master plan amendments to the Aviara Master Plan, a coastal zone master plan north of the Batiquitos Lagoon and east of the 1-5 freeway. The three recently approved master plan amendments, MP 177(J), MP 177(M) and MP 177(N) made minor changes to the development standards of three planning areas (PA's 13, 15 and 28) and a trail re-alignment affecting Planning Area 7. All three master plan amendments have already received final City approvals. Since only minor changes to the implementing ordinance (Aviara Master Plan) have been approved, no changes or impacts to LCP land use policies will result. The proposed LCP amendment will bring all Aviara land use regulations into conformance with each other (Master Plan, General Plan and LCP), as required by State law. Since no development is proposed, and the land use regulation changes are minor ( and already approved by the City), there will be no impacts to public facilities or services or the City's Growth Management Program. -LCPA 95-03 -AVIARA L~P AMENDMENT AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE2 III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND A brief summary of minor master plan amendments MP 177(J), MP 177(M) and MP 177(N) follows: * * * MP 177(J): PA 28 has an approval for 61 single family homes. MP 177(J) allows up to 60% of those homes to increase in height from 22 to 30 feet as measured to the peak of the structure. MP 177(J) was approved on March 7, 1995. MP 177(M): PA 15 has an approval for a 9 lot/54 unit residential townbome project. It had a maximum building height of 3 stories/35 feet with no more than 30% of all structures allowed higher than 24 feet. MP 177(M) eliminated the 24 foot height restriction and lowered the overall maximum building height from 35 to 30 feet. MP 177(M) was approved on February 7, 1995. MP 177(N): Two planning areas were affected by this amendment. First, a trail re- alignment was allowed that relocated a trail segment from the west edge of PA 7 to the east and north edges of PA 7. The new trail alignment eliminates conflicts with golf balls coming off the adjacent golf course segment and links up better with the Aviara Oaks School. Secondly, front yard setbacks were reduced from 25 feet to 20 feet (for side loaded garages only) within PA 13. MP 177(N) was approved on May 17, 1995. Plannina Issues A. Is the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment consistent with the zoning and General Plan of the subject master plan property? IV. ANALYSIS A. Zonin&(General Plan Consistency The zoning of the subject properties is implemented by the Aviara Master Plan. The existing, approved Aviara Master Plan is, in tum, consistent with the Qty's General Plan and in fact implements the General Plan and the LCP. By virtue of their approval, the three minor master plan amendments covered by this LCP amendment do not conflict with the General Plan or the Aviara Master Plan. As minor development standard modifications to the four above outlined planning areas, no changes or impacts to coastal land use policies or practices are involved. The approval of this LCP amendment is, in fact, necessaiy to bring the zoning, General Plan and LCP for the subject sites into conformance with each other and will formally acknowledge minor master plan amendments MP 177(J), MP 177(M) and MP 177(N) from a coastal regulations/LCP standpoint. ,,-. LCPA 95-03 -AVIARA L'-'"P AMENDMENT AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE3 V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director bas determined that the proposed LCP amendment is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Qass 5) which consists of minor alterations in land use limitations which do not result in any changes in land use or density. A Notice of Exemption will be issued by the Planning Director upon project approval by the City Council. ATIACHMENTS 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3787 2. Location Map 3. Disclosure Form 4.
