The Planning Department has reviewed your development application no. CT 98-18/GDP 98-18/HDP 98- 20 as to its completeness for processing. Due to the fact that legislative actions (Zone Change and Local Coastal Program Amendment) are being processed concurrently with quasi-judicial actions the Planning Department has determined that the site development plan, coastal development permit, special use permit, and hillside development permit must remain incomplete until the legislative actions are approved by the City Council. Please contact your staff planner, Jeff Gibson, at (760) 438-l 161, extension 4455, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application. Sincerely, Planning Director MJH:JG:mh c: Gary Wayne Adrienne Landers - Team Leader Clyde Wickham - Project Engineer Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide 2075 La Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-l 576 - (760) 438-l 161 l FAX (760) 438-0894 a3 LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED FOR STAFF REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION No. CT 98-l 8/CDP 98-18/HDP 98-20 Planning: 1. The site has been historically utilized for agricultural purposes, therefore, the Final Program EIR for SP 203A, which covers this property, requires the submittal of a pesticide/soil testing report prior to approval of the tentative map. 2. The project is subject to inclusionary housing requirements, therefore, if you propose to purchase affordable housing credits from Villa Loma there is an application process that must take place before this project can proceed to Planning Commission. The City’s Combined Project Review Committee must review the proposal in accordance with City Council Policies No. 57 and 58 and make a recommendation to the Housing Commission. For more information on how to proceed when proposing an affordable housing credit purchase from Villa Loma, please contact the City’s Housing and Redevelopment Department. 3. Please illustrate on the landscape plan the location of the areas of the project proposed to be maintained by the Homeowners Association. 4. The constraints map indicates an area of slope greater than 25% and greater than 40%, however, this information is not reflected in the density calculation table. Even though the acreage is very small it must still be subtracted out of the site’s gross acreage for purposes of calculating the site’s density allocation. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. The retaining wall located along a portion of the southern project boundary is located in the rear yard setback of the lots and must not exceed a height of 6 feet. A portion of the wall is currently shown at a height of 6.5 feet. 2. The disclosure form that was submitted with the project is outdated, therefore, please submit a new, signed, and updated version. 3. The slopes along the southern property line should be landscaped with a combination of trees and shrubs to provide a buffer between the agricultural greenhouse land use to the south and the proposed residential land use. In addition, SP 203(A) EIR mitigation requires a six foot high solid masonry wall between the two land uses. The wall should be located at the top of the rear slope along these lots.
