ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FORM - PART I
This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Form - Part I will be used to determine
what type of environmental documentation (i.e., Environmental impact Report,
Mitigated Negative Declaration, Negative Declaration or Exemption) will be required to
be prepared for your application, per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and Title 19 ofCarlsbad's Municipal Code. The clarity and accuracy ofthe information
you provide is critical for purposes of quickly determining the specific environmental
effects of your project.
Recent judicial decisions have held that a "naked checklist," that is checklist that Is
merely checked "yes" or "no," is insufficient to comply with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality act. Each "yes" or "no" answer must be
accompanied by a written explanation justifying the "yes" or "no" answer. This Is
especially important when a Negative Declarations being sought. The more
information provided in this form, the easier and quicker it will be for staff to complete
the Environmental Impact Assessment Form - Part II.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a
significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears
in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical,
biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and
provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare
an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously
approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
• A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that
are adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses
following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the
referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to
projects like the one involved. A "No Impact" answer should be explained when
there is no source document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors
as well as general standards.
• "Less Than Significant Impact" applies where there is supporting evidence that
the potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not
exceed adopted general standards and policies.
• "Potentially Significant Unless Mifigafion Incorporated" applies where the
incorporafion of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potenfially
Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The developer must
agree to the mifigafion, and the City must describe the mitigafion measures,
and briefiy explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
• "Potenfially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substanfial evidence
that an effect is significant.
• Based on an "EIA-Part II," if a proposed project could have a potenfially
significant effect on the environment, but all potentially significant effects (a)
have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or Mifigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mifigated Negafive Declarafion,
including revisions or mifigafion measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or
supplemental EIR are present and all the mifigafion measures required by the
prior environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no
addifional environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
• When "Potenfially Significant Impact" is checked the project Is not necessarily
required to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed
3 Rev. 03/28/96
o
adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will
be mifigated, or a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" has been made
pursuant to that earlier EIR.
• A Negative Declarafion may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial
evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on
the environment.
• If there are one or more potenfially significant effects, the City may avoid
preparing an EIR if there are mifigafion measures to clearly reduce impacts to
less than significant, and those mitigafion measures are agreed to by the
developer prior to public review. In this case, the appropriate "Potenfially
Significant Impact Unless Mifigafion Incorporated" may be checked and a
Mifigated Negafive Declaration may be prepared.
• An EIR must be prepared if "Potenfially Significant Impact" is checked, and
including but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potenfially
significant effect has not been discussed or mifigated in an Earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does not agree to
mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than significant; (2) a
"Statement of Overriding Considerations" for the significant impact has not
been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mifigafion measures do
not reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II
analysis it is not possible to determine the level of significance for a potenfially
adverse effect, or determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in
reducing a potenfially significant effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mifigafion measures appears at
the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION.
Particular attenfion should be given to discussing mitigafion for impacts which would
otherwise be determined significant.

LAND USE AND PLANNING
a)
Would the proposal:.
Conflict with general plan designation or
zoning? (The proposed project will conflict with
the existing Land Use Element of the General
Plan and the Calavera Hills Master Plan,
however a General Plan Amendment and a
Master Plan Amendment is in process with the
City of Carlsbd and is expected to be approved
prior to consideration of the proposed project.
In the event this General Plan Amendment
and/or Master Plan Amendment is not adopted,
the proposed project is not consistent with the
General Plan, which is considered a significant
environmental impact. (#1, #2, #3)
b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or
policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction
over the project? The proposed project is
inconsistent with the existing Calavera Hills
Master Plan, however this Master Plan is
presently in process of modification. Upon its
adoption, the proposed project will be
consistent. Additionally, the proposed project is
consistent with the City of Carlsbad Draft Habitat
Management Plan (HMP). Nonetheless,
potentially significant environmental impacts to
land use will result if mitigation is not included.
(#3, #6)
c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the
vicinity? (The proposed project is not anticipated
to be incompatible with the existing residential
land uses west of the site in the area inasmuch
as the proposed project will be of a compatible
density. (#1, #2, #3)
d) Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g.
impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from
incompatible land uses? (The proposed project
will not have a significant impact on soils or
farmlands; the City's Final Master EIR and the
Calavera Hills EIR anticipate and plan for urban
development of the site. No agricultural
operations exist or previously existed on the

VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the
proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion?
(The proposed project involves development
which will generate approximately 1.432 ADT.
Although in and of itself, this increase is not
considered significant, the City of Carlsbad has
determined that a potential regional significant
impact to traffic congestion could result from this
and all other projects in the City. See Discussion
of Environmental Evaluation at the end of this
checklist.
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e.g.
sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? (The
proposed project does not involve the design or

VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the proposal
result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, threatened or rare species or their
habitats (including but not limited to plants, fish,
insects, animals, and birds?) (The proposed
project involves multi family residential
development of a site for which permits to
conduct mass grading will already have occurred
prior to development of the subject project. The
site presently contains coastal sage scrub and
chaparral vegetation, prime habitat for the
coastal California gnatcatcher, a federally listed
species. In the event that the mass grading
associated with the master tentative map
application, for which an EIR is being
conducted, does not occur, the proposed
project would result in potentially significant
biological impacts, and mitigation would be
necessary; ((#3, #6, #8)
b) Locally designated species (e.g. heritage
trees)? (The proposed project does not involve
disturbance to locally designated biological
species; (#3, #6)
c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g.
oak forest, coastal habitat, etc.)? (The proposed
project involves development of a site devoid of
natural communities and as a result wil not
affect locally designated natural communities,
(#3, #6)
d) Wetland habitat (e.g. marsh, riparian and vernal
pool)? (The proposed project does not involve
direct impacts to wetland habitats, however
impacts to "waters of the US", and indirect
impacts could occur to downstream riparian
scrub wetland and sycamore woodland as a
result of potential sedimentation resulting from
development;; (#2, #3, #6)

and
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation
plans? (Development of the proposed project
will be designed in conformance with all
applicable federal, state and local polices and
codes relating to energy conservation including
State Title No. 24. The project falls within the
realm of urban uses anticipated under the City's
General Plan Master EIR; (#2, #3, #5)
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and
inefficient manner? (Eventual development of
the proposed project will be designed in
conformance with all applicable federal, state
and local polices and codes relating to energy
conservation; the project will comply and
implement Housing Element Action Program 5.1
which implements residential energy efficient
standards; (#2).
c) Result in the loss of availability of a known
mineral resource that would be of future value to
the region and the residents of the State? (The
proposed project is located within an area with
known mineral deposits however these minerals
are not considered of significant value and
urban development is planned for this area of
the City, which has previously been found in the

brush, grass, or trees? (Preserved habitat areas
containing high fuel plant species are proposed
in close proximity to the subject project. The
proposed design incorporates provisions of the
City Landscape Manual Fire Suppression
standards as approved by the City Fire Marshal.
As a result it is concluded that the proposed
project will not increase fire hazard and will and
comply with all applicable City policies regarding
fire suppression and low fuel planting; (#2, #7,

X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? (The
proposed project involves residential multi family
development adjacent to a College Blvd., a
major arterial roadway. As a result, noise
impacts from this roadway source could be
significant and will necessitate mitigation. The
exact form of mitigation must be addressed in a
site specific noise analysis; (#2, #3, #12)

b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels?
(Development of the subject village for
residential purposes will result in the potential for
significant noise impacts from College
Boulevard. The potential significant adverse
impacts relative to noise levels from these
arterial roadways could be mitigated for the
proposed project through the construction of
noise walls of a height and density to minimize
noise effects. The proposed project is not within
the noise contour levels considered significant
for McClellan-Palomar Airport. In addition, the

a) Fire protection? (The proposed project will be
serviced by Fire Stations 3 & 5 and as a result, it
is projected to conform with the City of Carlsbad
General Plan, the Growth Management Plan
and the Zone 7 Local Facilities Management
Plan (LFMP). Additionally, at the time the
Calavera Hills fire station comes on line
(expected in 2004), fire protection to the area
will be enhanced. No substantive need for
additional fire protection beyond that anticipated
in these documents will result from development
of the proposed project; (#2, #3, #5)
b) Police protection? (Police protection is provided
by the City of Carisbad Police Department; no
substantive need for additional police services
beyond that anticipated in the City of Carisbad
General Plan and the Growth Management Plan
will result from development of the proposed
project; (#2, #3, #5)
c) Schools? (The proposed project will not have a
significant impact on schools because it has
been annexed into CUSD Special District #3.
which levies taxes for the construction of new
schools. A new K-8 school is proposed to be
constructed as part of this project; residential
development of this site is anticipated in the
City's Growth Management Program;; #2, #4,

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Please use this area to discuss any of the environmental factors that were checked
"No impact" yet lack any information citations and any factors that were checked
"Potenfially Significant Impact" or "Potenfially Significant Impact Unless Mifigafion
Incorporated." The City has adopted a "Statement of Overriding Consideration" with
regard to air quality and circulafion impacts resulfing from the normal buildout
according to the General Plan. The following sample text is intended to guide your
discussion of the impacts to these environmental factors.
LAND USE AND PLANNING:
The proposed project conflicts with the present Land Use Element of the General
Plan and the exisfing Calavera Hills Master Plan, and will require amendment to
these Plans. Amendments to these plans are presenfiy in process in the City, which
will change the land use on the subject property to residenfial medium-high density,
which would allow the development proposed in this project. Upon approval of these
discrefionary legislafive acfions, the proposed project will be consistent with Land use
and Planning documents. In the event that this General Plan and Master Plan
Amendment does not proceed to approval, the subject project cannot be found in
conformance with the General Plan and Master Plan.
AIR QUALITY:
The implementafion of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in
the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power
consumpfion and vehicle miles traveled. These subsequenfiy result in increases in
the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and
sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the major contributors to air
pollufion in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the San Diego Air
Basin is a "non-attainment basin," any addifional air emissions are considered
cumulatively significant: therefore, confinued development to buildout as proposed in
21 Rev. 03/28/96
the updated General Plan will have cumulafive significant impacts on the air quality of
the region.
To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout,
a variety of mifigafion measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These
include: 1) provisions for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or
concurrent with development; 2) measures to reduce vehicle trips through the
implementation of Congesfion and Transportafion Demand Management; 3)
provisions to encourage alternafive modes of transportation including mass transit
services; 4) condifions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5)
participafion in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The
applicable and appropriate General Plan air quality mifigafion measures have either
been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as condifions of
project approval.
Operafion-related emissions are considered cumulafively significant because the
project is located within a "non-attainment basin," therefore, the "Inifial Study" checklist
is marked "Potenfially Significant Impact". This project is consistent with the General
Plan, therefore, the preparafion of an EIR is not required because the certlficafion of
Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a "Statement
Of Overriding Considerafions" for air quality impacts. This "Statement Of Overriding
Considerations" applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan's
Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of
air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the Planning
Department.
CIRCULATION:
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in
the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway
segments will be adequate to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2
partial intersecfions will be severely impacted by regional through-traffic over which
the City has no jurisdicfional control. These generally include all freeway interchange
areas and major intersections along Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the
implementafion of roadway improvements, a number of intersecfions are projected to
fail the City's adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout.
To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan
buildout, numerous mifigation measures have been recommended in the Final
Master EIR. These include measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities
concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop alternative modes of transportafion
such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian linkages, and
commuter rail systems; and 3) participafion in regional circulafion strategies when
adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State
Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City
to control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulafion mitigation
22 Rev. 03/28/96
measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included
as condifions of project approval.
Regional related circulafion impacts are considered cumulafively significant because
ofthe failure of intersecfions at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-
traffic, therefore, the "Initial Study" checklist is marked "Potentially Significant Impact".
This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparafion of an EIR is
not required because the certlficafion of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council
Resolufion No. 94-246, included a "Statement Of Overriding Considerafions" for
circulafion impacts. This "Statement Of Overriding Considerafions" applies to all
subsequent projects covered by the General Plan's Master EIR, including this project,
therefore, no further environmental review of circulafion impacts is required.
NOISE:
The proposed project will involve the potential for exposure of future residents to high
levels of noise from College Boulevar, a major arterial roadway. The Calavera Hills
Draft EIR concludes that, with appropriate mifigafion, significant adverse impacts
relative to noise levels from these roadways can be mitigated for the proposed
project. The proposed project is not within the noise contour levels considered
significant for McClellan-Palomar Airport.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES:
The proposed project involves residential development of a site for which permits to
conduct mass grading will already have occurred prior to development of the subject
project. This mass grading will be undertaken in reliance on approvals of the master
tentafive map and its associated grading permit.
The site however, presenfiy contains coastal sage scrub vegetafion, which is
considered a sensifive habitat. This habitat is considered prime habitat for use by the
coastal California gnatcatcher, a federally listed "threatened" species, under the
Endangered Species Act. In the event that this master tentative map mass grading,
for which an EIR is being conducted, does not occur, the proposed project would
result in potenfially significant biological impacts, and mifigation would be necessary.
All areas identified in the master tentafive map as worthy of preservation, in
conformance with the Habitat Management Plan program, are to remain in open
space conservafion area.
In addition, the proposed project is located in an area that contains "waters of the
U.S.", in which federal and state permits, and mifigafion will be required. This
permitfing process will be conducted in conjuncfion with the master tentative map
mass grading process, and as a result will be completed prior to consideration and
approval of the subject project. In the event that this master tentafive map does not
occur, and this subject project will be required to permit and mifigate for impacts to
the "waters of the U.S.", this is considered a significant impact to biological resources.
23 Rev. 03/28/96
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS:
The proposed project could result in a significant impact on storm water drainage
facilifies, and will be required to install temporary and permanent erosion control and
pollufion control facilities downstream of the project. Upon installfion of adequate
erosion and pollufion control devices, the project will be considered to have mitigated
the impacts on storm water facilities to an adequate level.
CULTURAL RESOURCES:
The proposed project is located within an area which is expected to contain
paleontological resources. As a result, future grading of the site may impact
paleontological resources unless mifigafion measures are included to minimize the
impacts as determined in the Calavera Hills EIR.
24 Rev. 03/28/96
LIST OF MITIGATING MEASURES (IF APPLICABLE)
LAND USE:
1. Prior to approval of the subject project, the City of Carlsbad General Plan Land
Use element, and the Calavera Hills Master Plan shall be amended to allow
development in conformance with the subject project.
NOISE:
1. Exterior Noise Levels -To reduce significant ground-floor exterior noise levels
for residential use areas, the project applicant shall construct noise barriers varying
from five to nine feet in height along the top of the slope as shown in Figure 3D-11 in
the EIR. This measure reduces noise levels at all ground-floor usable areas within
the village to a level at or below 60 CNEL.Moreover, if addifional points of access from
College Boulevard and, as a consequence, addifional breaks are required, no usable
exterior areas shall be placed adjacent to those breaks. Even with the construction of
noise barriers, noise levels at the second fioors of the units adjacent to the roadways
could exceed 65 CNEL. Standard construcfion is not assumed to adequately reduce
interior noise levels to below 45 CNEL at these locafions. Therefore, the following
mifigafion is required:
Interior Noise Levels - a) At the time building plans are available for the units in this
village, and prior to the issuance of building permits, a detailed acousfical analysis for
units exposed to 65 CNEL or greater will be required demonstrafing that interior noise
levels due to exterior sources will be at or below the 45 CNEL interior standard,
b) For those areas where exterior noise levels are projected to exceed 60 CNEL, it
will be necessary for the windows to remain closed to ensure that interior noise levels
meet the City's interior standard of 45 CNEL and forced-air circulation or air
condifioning is required.
2. If earthwork blasting is proposed, the project shall conform to San Diego
County Blasting Ordinance Tifie 3, Division 5, Chapter III County Code of Regulatory
Ordinances Secfions 35.377.101-104, 35.377.301(a), 35.377.306 and 35.377.307) to
reduce the temporary noise impacts due to blasfing and Secfion 8.48.010 of the City's
Municipal Code limifing allowable hours of acfivlfies. The allowable hours of acfivifies
associated with blasting will be from 9:00 AM. to 4:30 P.M. or one-half hour before
sunset, whichever comes first, Monday through Friday. No blasfing will be allowed on
weekends or on the holidays specified in secfion 8.48.010 of the City's Municipal
Code.
25 Rev. 03/28/96
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES:
1. Prior to approval ofthe subject project, the mass grading associated with the
master tentative map shall have been approved, including federal, state and City
permitfing and mifigation for the disturbance of coastal sage scrub and "waters of the
U.S." habitat impacts.
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS:
1. The developer and the City of Carlsbad shall, within 90 days of complefion of
grading activifies, hydroseed/ landscape graded and common areas with appropriate
ground cover vegetafion consistent with any biological requirements (e.g., use of
native or noninvasive plants). These revegetated areas shall be inspected monthly by
a qualified landscape architect, biologist, or comparable professional unfil verification
is provided to the City that vegetafion has been firmly established as determined by
the City's grading Inspector. Compacted areas shall be scarified, where appropriate,
to induce surface water infiltration and revegetafion as directed by the project
geologist, engineer, and/or biologist.
2. Grading and other surface-disturbing acfivities either shall be planned to avoid
the rainy season (i.e., November through March) to reduce potenfial erosion impacts
or shall employ construcfion phase erosion control measures, including the short-
term use of sandbags, matting, mulch, berms, hay bales, or similar devices along all
graded areas to minimize sediment transport. The exact design, locafion, and
schedule of use for such devices shall be conducted pursuant to direcfion and
approval by the City Engineer.
CULTURAL RESOURCES:
1. During the grading operation, a qualified paleontologist shall be retained to
perform periodic inspections of excavafions and, if necessary, salvage exposed
fossils. The frequency of inspections will depend on the rate of excavafions, the
materials being excavated, and the abundance of fossils. The paleontologist shall be
allowed to divert or direct grading in the area of an exposed fossil to facilitate
evaluafion and, if necessary, salvage.

Given the information proved, it is difficult to
ascertain if the project complies with the required
100 square feet per unit of passive recreation eireas.
No plans guarantee a minimum 60 square foot
balcony. The Master Plan requires that there be an
average of 100 square feet per unit of private
recreation areas. Please provide an exhibit showing
how this standard is being met. Please also note that
balconies along College Boulevard frontages may
not count towards providing recreation area if the
noise level is not mitigated to Master Plan required
levels and the balcony extends into the arterial
setback area.
The "downstairs" units (Units 2 and 3) of each plan each have
over 100 square feet of private recreation area/rear yards (see
CT/CP sheet 2 and trellis exhibit). In conjunction with the 60
square feet of balcony space for the Unit 1 units, an average of 600
square feet of private recreation area exists for each six-plex.
5. In the "Project Summary" table on the title sheet,
common slope areas are shown as private passive
areas. Since slopes do not count towards the passive
recreation area requirement, this notation coiild be
confusing. Please revise the table to show the
accurate private passive recreation areas. Notations
as to the total amount of slope or common space
areas (from an HOA maintenance perspective) can
be made as long as they are not represented as
passive open space areas.
The slope areas listed on the title sheet have been removed from
the private passive recreation area amounts.
6. The parking provide appears to meet the
minimum amount however it is not distributed
evenly throughout the project. There are 11 spaces
along the access road (between the northem and
southem portions of the development) that are not
located within 150 feet walking distance to any
dwelling unit and, therefore, should not be counted
in the total amount of guest parking provided.
While they may provide parking opportunities,
they do not meet the requirements of the Parking
Ordinance.
Two street spaces exist in front of each six-plex building,
providing the required visitor/guest parking throughout the
project.
O

Village U: Item Response
Guest parking is disproportionately provided in the
northern section of the project (26 guest spaces for
33 dwelling units), whereas the central portion does
not contain one guest parking space within 150 feet
of walking distance of every four units without
counting a guest parking space twice.
7. The proposed motor courts, provided they
measure at least 24 feet wide and provide adequate
maneuvering areas, are allowed by the ordinance.
They must be consfructed of concrete and accented
with enhanced paving freatment. Please indicate
these features on the project plans. None of the
driveway areas are dimensioned (see incomplete
item number 2 above).
The proposed motor courts have been dimensioned on the plans,
and all are at least 24 feet in width (see CT/CP sheet 2 for typical
detail and sheets 3-5; the landscape plan defails the enhanced
paving proposed for the motor courts. All driveways are now
dimensioned.
8. The required setback for multifamily units from
driveways is eight feet (fully landscaped) from
residences and five feet from garages. All garages
facing directly onto a driveway must be equipped
with an automatic garage door opener. Staff is
researching the intent of these regulations as they
apply to motor court style developments.
The Calavera Hills Master Plan allows motor court
style developments to have a building separation of
10 feet if the front facade massing is separated by a
minimum of 22 feet and at least 10 feet deep. The
PD Ordinance requires a 20-foot average building
separation, with a 10-foot minimum. Staff has had
previous discussions with the applicsint on this
exact topic; the results being that it is okay to reduce
building separation to 10 feet in the rear of the
buildings, provided that the street frontage
separation maintains the Master Plan requirement
Garages that face directly onto the private streets shall be
equipped by the builder with automatic garage door openers.
The proposed project is in compliance with the setback
requirements delineated in the approved Calavera Hills Master
Plan Sec. IX.G.4 (pgs. 108-109). Please see Don Rideout or Paul
Klukas for any additional clarification necessary.

of 22 feet. You could also opt to follow the Plarmed
Development standard of minimum 20 foot
separation for all parts of the stmcture.
9. According to the PD ordinance, street frees within
multifamily projects shall be spaced no further than
30 feet on center within the parkway. Please
indicate these dimensions on the project landscape
plan.
Sfreet trees have been placed no further apart than 30 feet on
center where possible; however, due to the project's 24-foot motor
court enfrance widths (plus driveway skirts), 30 feet on center
minimum distance is not possible in all locations. Trees have been
placed as close as possible to the sides of the motor court
entrances to ensure an aesthetically pleasing landscape design. O 10. The Calavera Hills Master Plan calls for the
encouragement of variety in sfreetscape massing
and aesthetics, as well as strong architectural relief.
It also states that projects within the master plan
area are subject to the requirements of the PD
Ordinance, with the exception of the site design
standards listed on pages 54 and 55 of the Master
Plan (arterial setbacks, front yard setback
measurement, recreation areas, and building
separation). Therefore, the architectural design is
subject to the provisions of 21.45.080 - Table E of the
PD Ordinance. This section requires at least 3
separate building planes (minimum offset of 18
inches) on all building elevations. It also requires
incorporation of at least four of the design elements
listed within Table E for each building fagade. The
standard end and rear elevations do not appear to
meet these criteria.
Given the level of detail on the submitted plans, it is
not clear that the project complies with these
requirements. Please augment the architectural
plans to indicate compliance with the PD Ordinance
Architectural Design Element standards. It may be
necessary to vary the product and/or floor plan to
Architectural compliance sheets 1-6 have been added to the
building elevations and floor plans detailing the required setback
planes and fagade elements per 21.45.080 - Table E of the PD
Ordinance.

Village U: Item Response
provide the necessary variety of massing and
aesthetics.
11. The Master Plem^ requires a top-of-slope setback
pursuant to the Hillside Development Ordinance.
This setback equals 0.7 feet of horizontal setback for
every one (1) foot of verticeil height of the structure.
Based upon a building height of 33.6 feet. Buildings
1 through 11 do not appear to meet the required
23.45 foot setback.
The 0.7 setback plane intersects the buildings a the top of the
second-story plate (see typical detail exhibit, sheet 2 of CT/CP).
As long as 11.9 feet of setback is maintained, the building does not
fall within the 0.7 setback plane. Buildings 1-11 have been
adjusted so they are at maintain at least 11.9 feet of setback.
12. According to the Master Plan, a community frail
shall be installed through the length of the northerly
open space corridor as permitted by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service. Please show the alignment of
this community trail on the project exhibits.
Trail alignment has been added to plans.
13. The Master Plan requires that bus stop facilities
be provided at the southerly enfrance to Village U.
Please coordinate with North County Transit
District on the exact location of the bus stop and the
necessary improvement then show these features on
the project plans.
Bus-stop facilities have been included on CT/CP sheet 4.
Issues of Concem:
Engineering:
1. On the northem unit of building 26 align the
driveway to be more perpendicular to the street.
The driveway is now more perpendicular.
2. Show College Boulevard right-of-way dedication
for project entrances at Streets "A" and "B".
Pedestrian ramps, including the 4-ft sidewalk area,
need to be fully within public right-of-way.
Included on sheets 3 and 5 of CT/CP.
3. Show installation of fraffic signals at both project
entrances.
Added to CT/CP sheets 3 and 5.
4. Use non-contiguous sidewalk throughout the
project.
Meandering sidewalks have been incorporated throughout the
project based on the project's unique building design and
discussions with staff.

design of the sfreets.
There is a neck-down along the inside curb at the recreation area
and at each end on the outside curb, placed at the request of Frank
Jimeno. Based on the project's unique building design, further
calming measures are not required.
6. Show proposed street lighting in the project

Fire Department.
Sfreet lighting and fire hydrants have been added to CT/CP
sheets 3-5.
7. Clarify sheet 8 sfreet profile. It is labeled as Sfreet

Sfreet profile is now sheet 9; profile is for Sfreet A only; Street B is
not steep enough to warrant a profile.
8. Address sump condition at Sfreet "B". How is it
going to drain? Also show secondary drainage
overflow.
A storm drain has been added in the vicinity of BIdg. 20 to
facilitate sump condition at Sfreet B; a secondary drainage note
and storm drain inlet (near BIdg. 11) have been added to sheet 5 of
the CT/CP plans.
9. Contact Recreation Department regarding trail

23. Clarify where cross section 'C occurs.
ISSUES OF CONCERN
Planning:
1. Please provide the project identification numbers on the title sheet of the tentative
map/site plan.
2. The sound walls shown on the site plan do not match those shown in the Figure
3D-9 of the Master Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-02). It may be that
these walls will mitigate the arterial roadway noise to the required level, however a
project-specific noise study is needed to confirm this possibility. Please see
incomplete item number 5 above.
3. Please dimension the required 40-foot structural setback from the College Boulevard
right-of-way. Please also note that, according to Section Vlll.C.2.1 of the Master
Plan, a maximum of two encroachments into this setback area are allowed per
building - some notation to the effect needs to be made with regard to the
proposed optional decks on some buildings.
4. With regard to recreation areas, please provide area calculations for each of the
common areas. It is difficult to determine if the common recreation area meets the
13,500 square feet required by the Master Plan. In addition, a least two recreation
facilities from List B on page 54 of the Master Plan are required. These include
children playground facilities, putting green, volleyball court, horseshoe pits, bocce
ball, and/or recreation rooms and buildings. The proposed restroom building does
not qualify as a recreation room or building.
Given the information provided, it is difficult to ascertain if the project complies
with the required 100 square feet per unit of passive recreation areas. No plans
guarantee a minimum 60 square foot balcony. The Master Plan requires that there
be an average of 100 square feet per unit of private recreation areas. Please
provide an exhibit showing how this standard is being met. Please also note that
balconies along the College Boulevard frontages may not count towards providing
recreation area if the noise level is not mitigated Master Plan required levels and the
balcony extends into the arterial setback area.
5. In the "Project Summary" table on the title sheet, common slope areas are shown
as private passive areas. Since slopes do not count towards the passive recreation
area requirement, this notation could be confusing. Please revise the table to show
the accurate private passive recreation areas. Notations as to the total amount of
slope or common open space areas (from an HOA maintenance perspective) can be
made as long as they are not represented as passive open space areas.
6. The guest parking provided appears to meet the minimum amount however it is not
distributed evenly throughout the project. There are 11 spaces along the access
road (between the northern and southern portions of the development) that are not
located within 150 feet walking distance to any dweljing unit and, therefore, should
not be counted in the total amount of guest parking provided. While they may
provide parking opportunities, they do not meet the requirements of the Parking
Ordinance.
Guest parking is disproportionately provided in the northern section of the project
(26 spaces for 33 dwelling units), whereas the central portion does not contain one
guest parking space within 150 feet of walking distance of every four units without
counting a guest parking space twice.
7. The proposed motor courts, provided they measure at least 24 feet wide and
provide adequate maneuvering areas, are allowed by the ordinance. They must be
constructed of concrete and accented with enhanced pavement treatment. Please
indicate these features on the project plans. None of the driveway areas are
dimensioned (see incomplete item number 2 above).
8. The required setbacks for multifamily units from driveways is eight feet (fully
landscaped) from residences and five feet from garages. All garages facing directly
onto a driveway must be equipped with an automatic garage door opener. Staff is
researching the intent of these regulations as they apply to motor court style
developments.
The Calavera Hills Master Plan allows motor court style developments to have a
building separation of 10 feet if the front facade massing is separated by a
minimum of 22 feet and at least 10 feet deep. The PD Ordinance requires a 20-foot
average building separation, with a 10-foot minimum. Staff has had previous
discussions with the applicant on this exact topic; the results being that it is okay
to reduce building separation to 10 feet in the rear of the buildings, provided that
the street frontage separation maintains the Master Plan requirement of 22 feet.
You could also opt to follow the Planned Development standard of minimum 20 foot
separation for all parts of the structure.
9. According to the PD ordinance, street trees within multifamily projects shall be
spaced no further than 30 feet on center within the parkway. Please indicate these
dimensions on the project landscape plan.
10. The Calavera Hills Master Plan calls for the encouragement of variety in streetscape
massing and aesthetics, as well as strong architectural relief. It also states that
projects within the master plan area are subject to the requirements of the PD
Ordinance, with the exception of the site design standards listed on pages 54 and
55 of the Master Plan (arterial setbacks, front yard setback measurement,
recreation areas, and building separation). Therefore, the architectural design is
subject to the provisions of 21.45.080 - Table E of the PD Ordinance. This section
requires at least 3 separate building planes (minimum offset of 18 inches) on all
building elevations. It also requires incorporation of at least four of the design
elements listed within Table E for each building facade. The standard end and rear
elevations do not appear to meet these criteria.
Given the level of detail on the submitted plans, it is not clear that the project
complies with these requirements. Please augment the architectural plans to
indicate compliance with the PD Ordinance Architectural Design Element standards.
It may be necessary to vary the product and/or floor plan to provide the necessary
variety of massing and aesthetics.
11. The Master Plan requires a top-of-slope setback pursuant tc the Hillside
Development Ordinance. This setback equals 0.7 feet of horizontal setback for
every one (1) foot of vertical height of the structure. Based upon a building height
of 33.6 feet, Buildings 1 through 11 do not appear to meet the required 23.45 foot
setback.
12. According to the Master Plan, a community trail shall be installed through the length
of the northeriy open space corridor as permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. Please show the alignment of this community trail on the project exhibits.
13. The Master Plan requires that bus stop facilities be provided at the southeriy
entrance to Village U. Please coordinate with North County Transit District on the
exact location of the bus stop and the necessary improvement then show these

Engineering:
1. On the northern unit of building 26 align the driveway to be more perpendicular to
the street.
2. Show College Boulevard right-of-way dedication for project entrances at Streets
"A" and "B". Pedestrian ramps, including the 4-ft sidewalk area, need to be fully
within public right-of-way.
3. Show installation of traffic signals at both project entrances.
4. Use non-contiguous sidewalk throughout the project.
5. Use traffic calming measures from the appendix of the "Carisbad Residential Traffic
Management Program" publication. Incorporate the 'Intersection Bulb-out' and the
'Mid-Block Choker' (offset) in the design of the streets.
6. Show proposed street lighting in the project streets. Also show fire hydrants as
required by the Fire Department.
7. Clarify sheet 8 street profile. It is labeled as Street "A" profile at both entrances.
Where is Street "B"?
8. Address sump condition at Street "B". How is it going to drain? Also show
secondary drainage overflow.
9. Contact Recreation Department regarding trail and trailhead parking requirements.
Refer to the red-lined check prints of the project for additional comments. These check
