The following issues remain and will require resolution: Planning: 1. The project requires an amendment to the Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan to incorporate changes to buildout projections for Zone 16, phasing, facilities, etc. 2. Landscape comments were returned to Tony Lawson, ADL Planning on March 20, 2000. Requested plans be drawn at 1:40 scale to enable review. Tentative Map 3. The 300' northern buffer negotiated as part of the HMP to separate the project from the Los Monos Canyon Preserve has been reduced to 280' at some locations. Staff is currently preparing an HMP map at 100 scale to compare the negotiated boundaries with the proposed boundaries. Mr. Don Rideout has advised that the buffer can vary if an average is proposed. The proposed grading design extends into the 300' buffer and based upon the proposed building setback of 10', the 30' fire suppression zones would encroach into the buffer at some locations. There are, however, proposed encroachments of grading and fire suppression zones into the proposed buffer that would require removal and/or thinning and pruning of sensitive and/or native vegetation; therefore, please ensure that grading does not encroach into the buffer and that setbacks are adequate to avoid the need to encroach into the buffer with the 30' fire suppression zones 4. The slopes shown along the eastern property line as 2:1 and 3:1 appear to be less at some locations. Please identify all slope gradients correctly. 1635 Faraday Avenue • Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 EIR 98-08/GPA 97-05/AT97-05/SP 211/HDP 97-20/SUP 97^7 - CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK May 4, 2000 Page 2 5. Pollution Control Basin No. 2 on Sheet 6 of the TM will require removal of mature oak trees that appear to be in very good condition. Please attempt to move the basin to the west to avoid removal of trees. Also, please explore incorporating into the design of the basin a fountain feature similar to the one in the Carlsbad Research Center where employees can walk and enjoy the open space during their lunch hours. 6. As previously requested by Chris DeCerbo in his May 28, 1998 correspondence: a) Per Subsection 21.95.140(6) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, please submit an alternative grading plan that illustrates a project which is designed consistent with the development standards of the Hillside Development Ordinance and a proposed grading plan which illustrates the extent and type of requested standards modifications. Please submit written and graphic exhibits and a detailed mitigation and landscaping plan to justify the proposed grading (slope heights and grading quantities). This must be provided to enable the required Hillside Development EIR analysis. 7. Perimeter and interior manufactured slopes should not exceed 40 - 50' in height. In most instances it appears that slopes can be reduced in height through lot terracing. Lots 8, 12, and 16 have slopes exceeding 50'. Please submit plans illustrating what can be done to lower the slopes. 8. Please review the contour grading proposed along Faraday to ensure that the 3:1 grades proposed would achieve the pad elevations shown. In some instances it does not appear that it would. Also, please incorporate a 3:1 contour into the western half of the 40' high slope separating Faraday Avenue from Lot 21. 9. Please provide a detail of the crib/earthstone walls proposed along offsite Faraday. A series of two terraced earthstone walls 7' or 8' in height would be preferable from an aesthetic standpoint. 10. Please expand the eating area proposed at the intersection of El Fuerte and Faraday. This area should become a focal point into the industrial park similar to the park at Camino Vida Roble and Palomar Airport Road. The landscape plans must provide details of this amenity. Specific Plan 11. Public Facilities - Page 11-13 - please revise the first paragraph regarding access to the site. 12. Please revise the specific plan text and exhibits to redesignate and rezone Lot 25 to open space. Depending on the outcome of the environmental impact EIR 98-08/GPA 97-05//W97-05/SP 211/HDP 97-20/SUP 97^7 - CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK May 4, 2000 Page 3 analysis, the lot will be utilized as open space and may or may not include a pump station. 13. The scope of work for the EIR requires the consultant to analyze the potential impacts associated with having no commercial service facilities to serve the employees of the surrounding industrial parks located onsite. Please revise the Specific Plan to require commercial services on one of the proposed industrial lots. Lots 22 or 23 may be the best location due to their proximity to both Carlsbad Oaks North and existing Carlsbad Oaks East and West. 14. Figure 11 - Offsite Sewer: It is unclear where the offsite sewer is. Please delete the legend and provide a legend that identifies the location of the offsite sewer. f Since thetDroposed industrial lots are large and special consideration regarding hillside gracing r/ay\ be pe^nre/tolenablp the large lots, the specific plan should prohibit furtneZsubdrsasnon of industrial lots. 16. Please include under development standards: 'Maintenance provisions (CC&Rs): An architectural review process shall be required that ensures that the design of future industrial buildings incorporates the architectural guidelines required by the specific plan. Prior to issuance of building permits, proof that the association architectural review committee has approved the proposed development must be provided to the Planning Department. 17. Since the proposed industrial lots are large and special consideration regarding hillside grading may be given, please specify the further subdivision of industrial lots shall be prohibited, except that the Specific Plan may provide for non- residential planned development projects on a small percentage of lots. 18. Architectural Guidelines: It is my intention to emphasize in the guidelines that architectural elements that will result in a high quality industrial park will be expected. Examples in Carlsbad Oaks East are the Upper Deck building and the building at the northwest corner of Loker Avenue and Palomar Airport Road. A. Please delete guideline d. which states that north facing buildings on Lots 2 -5 will not need special details or architectural treatment. Those buildings will face the loop road and must adhere to the architectural guidelines. B. Please develop architectural guidelines that include the following: (1) Windows shall be recessed, designed, and placed to enhance the exterior appearance of the structure and shall be consistent in design, size and scale with the building. EIR 98-08/GPA 97-05//^97-05/SP 211/HDP 97-20/SUP 97^ - CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK May 4, 2000 Page 4 (2) Special emphasis shall be placed on building form to ensure that structures have rounded and curved elements and changes in height and vertical planes to avoid monotonous and boxy architecture. (3) Special emphasis shall be placed on building entries. Entries shall be defined with special enhanced architectural treatment, enhanced paving on walkways, and enhanced landscaping. (4) Special emphasis shall be placed on side elevation architecture on lots abutting Faraday. (5) A combination of building materials, including accent materials such as tile, natural stone, slate, etc, textures, and colors that are consistent with the surrounding natural environment shall be required. (6) Under 1c on Page V-18, please remove the words "are encouraged to provide" and replace with "shall be provided" in the first sentence. Please reword the last sentence since it implies that roof top mechanical equipment must be screened, enclosed, and architecturally incorporated into visually interesting building tops only rather than all buildings. Please include a statement that buildings on Lots 1, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22 and 23 abutting Faraday and residential land uses to the east must incorporate roof equipment into the architecture. No roof equipment requiring separate roof screens will be permitted after buildings are constructed. Also, please add a provision that prohibits roof equipment that would require a roof screen greater than 6 feet in height. 15. Employee Eating Areas: A provision should be added stating that all lots shall be required to provide outdoor eating areas in addition to any indoor eating areas provided. Credit will not be given for indoor eating areas. 16. Landscape Architecture: Where is the eating area proposed at the eastern intersection of Street D and Faraday adjacent to the pollution control basin. It isn't indicated on the map. Since we are requesting that this basin be relocated or deleted, please identify another location. Additionally, the proposed eating areas created with retaining walls into slopes along Streets A, C, and D are not acceptable. (See comments above regarding Employee Eating area requirements for this specific plan). The open space use and eating areas proposed along Faraday should be expanded and a park like setting created similar to the Camino Vida Roble and Palomar Airport Road example. Please revise the master plan to incorporate graphics (in addition to Figure 15 Landscape Concept) identifying the precise locations and illustrating the -05/^EIR 98-08/GPA 97-05/AC 97-05/SP 211/HDP 97-20/SUP 97^07 - CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK May 4, 2000 Page 5 configuration, type of landscape treatment and amenities to be provided in these open space use and eating areas. 17. Fire Suppression zones: Please revise this section by deleting discussion regarding fire suppression on native slopes. The fire suppression zones may encompass manufactured slopes only. The fire department has indicated that a minimum of 30' will be required. This issue must be addressed in the EIR and the recommended mitigation to reduce fire hazards must be incorporated into the specific plan. Figure 6 in the Specific Plan will be revised to reflect the correct fire suppression zone/setback. 18. Building Setbacks (Page V-1): A. The section states that all setback3shall be measured from ultimate right- of-way of street frontages. Please state that side and rear setbacks shall be measured from the property line. B. Local Streets: To avoid confusion, please revise to require a minimum 35' setback. Most of the lots have slopes within the street side setback that exceed 35'. Given the size of the lots, it would not be desirable to have buildings closer that 35', particularly since driveways are permitted within the 35' thereby reducing the landscaped setback to 25'. C. Item 4 - Eastern Boundary Setback: This section should also include Lot 17. Figures 5 and 6 in the Specific Plan - Eastern Boundary - Section 3 is inaccurate - please revise unless you plan to provide approximately 140' of landscaped easement at that location. In reviewing correspondence from the City of Vista, it appears that they requested that a 100' setback be provided with an 8' high block wall 25' from the property line. You have proposed a 75' setback with 50' of landscaping and a berm or block wall along the 50' landscaped setback line. The actual setback will be determined by the environmental analysis. Note: In reviewing the plan, it appears that the most opportune location for the block wall would be at the top of slope, which is 50' or more from the property line. The ultimate height and location of the wall will most likely become mitigation for impacts associated with industrial uses adjacent to residential uses Therefore, the actual location, height and design of the berm and wall will need to be consistent with the EIR findings. D. Item 5: Northern Boundary Setback: In accordance with the Fire Department request, the minimum building setback from the property line is 30' to enable fire suppression zones. The setback required from the toe of slope will be set by the Engineering Department. The setback from the top of slope will need to be in accordance with the Hillside Development EIR 98-08/GPA 97-05/flC97-05/SP 211/HDP 97-20/SUP 97^77 - CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK May 4, 2000 Page 6 Ordinance which requires a .7 to 1 setback from the top of slope exceeding 15' in height. Please revise. 19. Storage Areas: Please delete the sentence excluding Lots 2-5 from the requirement to screen all outdoor storage. It is the City's policy to require all outdoor storage areas to be screened. ' This avoids expansion and use of parking lots for storage. 20. Trails: Sheet 2 of the TM identifies a 9' wide pedestrian trail along Faraday and El Fuerte. Please provide an alternative alignment outside the right-of-way for the trail segment proposed wihtin the right-of-way along Faraday west of El Fuerte. Trail alignments within public rights-of-way are the least desirable alignment for the City's trails. 21. Please include a conceptual trail in the landscape plan. 22. Trails: Under Section M: Pedestrian Trail, Page V-19: As previously requested in Chris DeCerbo's May, 1998 correspondence, please revise this section as follows: Prior to the approval of a final map for any phase of the Carlsbd Oaks North Business Park, the developer shall provide an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City of Carlsbad for a trail easement for Trail Segment 26 within open space Lot 26 and within the right-of-way of El Fuerte Street and Faraday Avenue. If the City of Carlsbad accepts dedication of the trail easement, the trail? shall be constructed as a public trail and will be the maintenance responsibility of the City of Carlsbad. If the City of Carlsbad does not accept dedication of the trail easement, the trail shall be constructed by the developer upon completion of sewer facilities improvements within Lot 26, but it shall be constructed as a private trail and shall be the maintenance and liability responsibility of the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Association. 23. Open Space: As previously requested by Chris DeCerbo in his May 28, 1998 correspondence, please include all of the open space lots (24, 25, 26, and 27) in the first phase of development so that dedication will occur concurrent with first final map. Also include a provision stating that open space Lot 25 will be improved as an eating area/open space amenity (see Item 14 above) upon completion of sewer facilities or prior to occupancy of any structure if no pump station is required. This should be addressed in all sections (land use, sewer, open space, etc.) 24. This issue was also addressed in the May 28, 1998 correspondence: Your Phase I lots should be consistent with the Phase I sewer proposal. They are not. Please revise the specific plan so that the development phasing is consistent with the Phase I sewer (page 11-13) scheme. EIR 98-08/GPA 97-05 ™97-05/SP 211/HDP 97-20/SUP 97^ - CARLSBAD OAKS NORTH BUSINESS PARK May 4, 2000 Page 7 25. Performance Standards - Item 1: As previously requested by Chris DeCerbo in his May 28, 1998 correspondence, please revise to the noise performance standard to be consistent with the Section 21.34.090(1) (Planned Industrial (P- M) Zone) of the zoning ordinance. Additionally, add a statement that the maximum permitted noise level for uses on Lots 1,16, and 17 along the eastern boundary abutting residential land uses shall be 60 Ldn as measured at the property line and 55 Ldn if the noise is repetitive in nature between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. These noise standards shall be required by the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park CC&Rs and enforced by the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Association. 26. Loading Areas: Please add a provision to prohibit loading bays within the front setback and along the front elevation of any structure. Some of the lots may result in structures that are well behind the 70' limitation, however, loading bays should designed so that they are concealed into the side or rear of structures. 27. Signs: Please replace the proposed sign provisions with the following: (Note: Chapter 21.41 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Sign Ordinance) is currently being amended to revise the sign provisions of the P-M zone. The following standards may be revised. These provisions should be incorporated into the Specific Plan, and should they be adopted with revisions, it will be necessary to incorporate the changes into a future draft of the Specific Plan.) Signs and Graphic Requirements Except as otherwise provided herein, all signs within the Carlsbad Oaks North Specific Plan shall be subject to and consistent with the provisions of Chapter 21.41 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Sign Ordinance). General Standards Note: The General Standards section should be limited to provisions that are specific to the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park suchnimitations on the placement of signage along El Fuerte Street and Faraday Avenue.

For the purposes of consistency and to assist in the review and use of the specific plan, please reformat in accordance with the attached outline. This outline was utilized by the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan which is much more current than the format and content of the older industrial park specific plans. I strongly recommend that you use the Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan as a model. I. Introduction (Note: See redlined specific plan) a) Initiation of Plan: This section should delete the discussion about the airport special treatment area and include an explanation of the reason for initiation of the plan. While the Carlsbad Oaks East and West plan was required due to the airport special treatment area, the Carlsbad Oaks North plan is required because the old specific plan calls for it as an amendment, which is now proposed as a separate specific plan. The discussion under background on page I-4 would be acceptable. b) Project Location and Ownership: Provide a regional and site location map and include legal description here. c) Specific Plan Acreage and Site Description: Include general discussion about the constraints/topography of the site and the developable acreage and open space acreage. Some discussion about the HMP hardline would be appropriate here. d) The purpose of the plan provided in the current specific plan draft on page 1-1 (second paragraph) along with a list of current city and airport land use plans/policies that the project is consistent with and will implement.

VIII. Specific Plan Enforcement a) Discussion of how violation of specific plan constitutes a violation of the zoning ordinance. / /'Engineering: J LThis project will contain significant amounts of impervious area. An NPDES analysis should be submitted that identifies anticipated pollutants based on anticipated uses, evaluates the most effective treatment method for removal of the anticipated pollutants, calculates preliminary sizing for the treatment structures, and shows specific or typical layouts. Staff is concerned that proposed basins are too far downstream of furthest impervious area to be effective. Proposed pollution control measures need to be analyzed as referenced above. 2. Please include a summary of the anticipated traffic generation on the tentative map. 3. Proposed driveways need to meet City standards for spacing, both from street intersections and from each other. 4. Lot 8 will need multiple driveways and significant stacking lengths to meet peak ADT, but driveways must meet minimum separation standards. A reconfiguration of the street design might be necessary. 5.The easterly driveway for Lot 12 has inadequate sight distance. Consideration should be given to the percentage of trucks in traffic and the grade of the street when looking at stopping distance. 6.The grading for Lot 8 includes proposed 45-foot high fill slopes on top of a 35-foot high natural slope at 1:1 to 2:1. Please address slope stability issues, and limits of grading in open space. If the proposed slope is stable, but excavation in the open space is necessary for a key or buttress fill, the environmental analysis needs to reflect this. 7. Slopes adjacent to street intersections should be reconfigured to show that no slopes are within the sight triangle or within the required lines of sight distance. 8.Several slopes do not reflect mid-slope drainage terraces required by City of Carlsbad grading ordinance.

Show cut/fill lines to allow analysis of proposed phasing of grading. 11. If available, provide "mass excavation diagram" showing depths of cut/fill throughout project on a detailed grid, color-keyed if possible. 12.On the northerly slope of Faraday Avenue just east of the proposed crossing, show slope protection at toe of slope or provide hydrology calculations demonstrating that no protection from drainage is necessary. 13. Consider relocating proposed sewer pump station from lot 25 to a portion of lot 23. Consider either eliminating proposed grading in open space for lot 25, or providing a recreational use compatible with the natural open space at that location. 14.Tentative Map needs to be signed by the Engineer of Work, Owner and Subdivider. 15. Phasing of improvements needs to provide access in compliance with City cul- de-sac policy. This will affect the proposed grading phasing. Please review the phasing of grading to minimize areas exposed to erosion for long periods of time during build out of the project. 16. The phasing plan must consider the City's cul-de-sac standards for length, secondary access and proposed volumes on design that proposes single point of access.

The following are comments regarding water, sewer and recycled water systems: 1) The developer will be responsible for designing and constructing the following sections of the sewer pipelines per the Sewer Master Plan: SAHT1B, SAHT1C, SAHT1D. See the attached sheet for tentative location. The City is presently working on the environmental review for these sewer pipeline reaches as part of the Faraday Road improvements between Orion Street and Melrose Drive. The City is also designing Reach SAH3 which includes the sewer lift station and forcemain. The design is scheduled to be completed by October, 2000 and construction should be completed by Spring 2002. The Tentative Map shows a phased sewer system, this shall be deleted, phasing the sewer system is unnecessary. The Tentative Map shall eliminate the gravity sewer in Faraday Avenue between "D" Street and Melrose Drive. No connection to the Vista sewer system is necessary. 2) The developer will be responsible for designing and constructing potable water pipelines per CMWD standards. The potable water system will need to be separated into two pressure /ones referred to as the 550 and 700 HGL pressure zones. A looping water pipeline system for each pressure zone will be required. The 550 pressure zone will require a connection to the existing 550 pressure zone pipeline at Orion Street and Faraday Avenue. The pipeline will need to extend to "D" Street and northerly up "D" Street to serve lots 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 26. It will also serve lots 22 and 23. To loop the water system, a pressure reducing station shall be constructed near the vicinity of lot 18 in "D" Street to supply water from the 700 pressure zone. The 700 pressure zone will require a connection to the existing 16" pipeline in El Fuerte. The 700 pressure zone pipeline shall extend northerly in El Fuerte to Faraday Avenue. It shall proceed east in Faraday Avenue to "D" Street. This pipe shall extend the entire length of "D" Street back to Faraday Avenue. It shall then extend east in Faraday Avenue to Melrose Avenue. It shall proceed south in Melrose Avenue to Palomar Airport Road and connect to the existing 36" pipeline. The 700 pressure zone shall also extend offsite paralleling the proposed sewer line to the west. See the attached sheet for tentative location. 3) The developer will be responsible for designing and constructing a recycled water pipeline. There are two pressure zones referred to as the 550 and 660 HGL pressure zones. The 550 pressure zone shall begin at Orion Street and extend easterly in Faraday Avenue to approximately "D" Street. Lateral pipes shall extend up "D" Street to serve lots 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21. A second 660 recycled water pipeline shall extend north in Melrose Drive from Palomar Airport Road to Faraday Avenue. It shall then proceed west in Faraday Avenue to "D" Street and proceed north in "D" Street to serve lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. The pipelines shall be sized to meet irrigation demands of the subject project. Irrigation demand in gallons per minute (gpm) and hydraulic calculations shall be submitted to verify pipe sizes. 4) The developer shall coordinate with City of Carlsbad Engineering to select an approved design engineering firm for design of any sewer, potable water and recycled water pipelines, and the pressure reducing station. 5) The developer shall be responsible for all fees, deposits and charges which will be collected before and/or at the time of issuance of the building permit. The San Diego County Water Authority capacity charge will be collected at issuance of application for any meter installation. 6) The developer shall provide detailed information to the Deputy City Engineer-Design regarding water demand, irrigation demand, fire flow demand in gallons per minute, and projected sewer flow in million gallons per day. 7) All water and recycled water pipelines, the pressure reducing station, fire hydrants and appurtenances required for this project shall be within public right of way or within easements granted to CMWD. All sewer shall be within public right of way or easements granted to the City of Carlsbad. 8) Prepare and submit a colored recycled water use area map and submit this map to the Planning Department for processing and approval by the Deputy City Engineer-Design.

The applicant has indicated at various meetings that some of the following issues were discussed and agreed to during the HMP negotiations. Please verify that based on your recollection of discussions with the applicant, the following "exceptions" could be agreed to. Some other issues relating to the road design and trail are also items that I could use your feedback on prior to finalizing my issues letter. ani the'SOO' buffer agreed to along the riortfiern boundary of the project as part of the HMP be encroached into? The proposed subdivision narrows the buffer to 280' at some locations and encroaches into the buffer with graded slopes beyond the proposed property line of industrial lots. Additionally, the specific plan calls for a 10' building setback from the northern property line on lots along the northern boundary. On one of the industrial lots, the 10' setback would necessitate encroachment of 20' into the buffer to complete a 30' wide fire suppression zone that the Fire Department indicates they will require. 2. To increase buildable lot area, the proposed tentative map calls for V/zA slopes along the northern property line. The engineering department has indicated that they may be able to support from an engineering standpoint. Did we identify this as a possible concession for giving us the 300' wide buffer? 3. Should special consideration be given to hillside slope heights up to 70' for this project.? Although the Hillside Ordinance excludes industrial projects from slope height restrictions, it requires justification for proposal that exceed the 40' maximum slope height regulation. In order to create large industrial pads, they have proposed very large lots in some cases which'necessitates very high slopes. They have not proposed to terrace individual lots which might reduce slope heights. 4. The project proposes to include a portion of the trail alignment between El Fuerte and the project's western boundary within the Faraday ROW. Typically, we require them to propose the trail alignment away from the road if possible. Has any agreement to allow the trail within the row been made anywhere along Faraday? 5. Faraday Avenue is a secondary arterial not requiring a median. Because of the open space corridor that includes Oaks that will remain on the southern side of Faraday, the area will retain somewhat of a rural feel. It seems appropriate to require a landscaped median with trees to separate the road and reduce its impact. I am not sure whether the Planning Department has a say in the road design since there are standards in place for secondary arterials that do not include medians. Would you support such a request or should I stay out of the road design business? Mailing Address P.O.

By Minute Motion, concur with the Planning Commission'a approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map. PRIOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION; On June 21, 1988, the Planning Commission adopted: 1. Resolution 88~41 recommending approval of the Specific Plan Amendment to the City Council; and 2. Resolution 88-42 approving the Tentative Subdivision Map, subject to modification of conditions as indicated in the letter of conditions. The vote was 6-1. STATEMENTjON THE SUBJECT: Generally, the rezon© portion of the project is straightforward and desired. The rezone is from a multiple-family designation to small-lot single-family residential reducing the entitlement by 160 units or almost 50 percent. The subdivision has two basic issues. 1. Proposing to contribute to development of common recreational facilities in a public park in lieu of providing private recreational areas; and 2. The destruction of a riparian area and a cluster of cork oak trees which are an existing aesthetic resource. In the first case, the proposal was Justified by the applicant's previous dedication of a large area for public park and conditions of the subdivision which requires the residents of Actions introduced Orel 88-29 with ParK improvements in Cond.ft32 subject toicurred with Plarnt±ng{ Commission1 s approval ofCouncil approval; concurred the TSM.

In the second case, although regrettable, the riparian area will be lost in any case because it ia in the right-of-way or slope easement of the two major streets whose rights-of-way have been set by the Specific Plan and previous dedications of land. If the City Council wishes to add, delete or modify conditions of the subdivision, or deny the subdivision. Staff should be directed to prepare the appropriate resolution for Council adoption at a subsequent meeting. FISCAL IMPACT; None. Usual negative cost revenue mitigated by maintenance district.

To consider an Amendment to Specif- ic Plan No. 15, changing the desig- nation of Area "B" from H-M48 to »- 1B(5), and to con- sider a 168-lot single-family subdi- vision. The project is located within the boundaries of Spe- cific Plan No. IS, westerly of Melroae Drive and north of the collector street generally known Faraday or Los Monos Drive. 36.36 acres. The property slopes moderately to steeply in a southeasterly direction. Subject Property: R-M48 per Specific Plan No. 15. Surrounding Property: C-l and Industrial Commercial known as 1C pursuant to Specific Plan NO. 15 to the south and east, equivalent industrial to the north within Specific Plan No. 24, and planned industrial In Carlsbad to the west. In addition, the Dawson/Los Monos Preserve within Specific Plan No. 24 is located to the northwest. Subject Property: Medium Low Density Residential. Surrounding Property: industrial in the City of Vieta; and in Carlsbad, except Open Space to the northwest. -1- FRONTAGE: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The property abuts, but does not gain access,from Melroae Drive, a 126' arterial at this location, and the property also gains its access from a 72' wide collector running east/west along the southerly boundary of the property. The name of that street is Faraday Drive in Carlsbad or Los Monos Drive in Vista. There are also interior streets and a connection to the intersection of what is generally known as Street "J" within the boundaries of Specific Plan No. 24. The project conforms to an Environmental Impact Report completed for Specific Plan No. 15. KEY ISSUES: HISTORICAL REFERENCE: Specific Plan No. 15, previously known as Melrose 422, has been redesigned within the last two years so that this portion, which is the northwesterly corner of the specific plan, is the only residential area remaining. The remainder of the specific plan is. zoned for industry. 1. Should the subdivision be approved, which destroys the riparian habitat and the oak woodland? 2. is the buffering sufficient from Mel rose Drive and the Planned Industrial in Carlsbad? 3. Is the buffering sufficient to protect the Dawson Agua 'ledlonda e Los Monos Open Space? 4. should 5,000 sq.ft. lots be allowed without corresponding Open space? The project will, as in most residential projects, have a small negative fiscal impact on the City. _ I. Adopt Resolution 88- . recommending approval of the Specific Plan Amendment to the City Council. 2. Adopt Resolution 88- approving the Tentative Subdivision Map. ANALYSIS: Project Description; The proposed project, as proposed, is a 168 single-family lot Tentative Subdivision Map; each lot consisting of 5,000 sq.ft. minimum, and which would allow one single- family dwelling. This project is an extension of P.C. 88-021, which is proposed by the same developer within Specific Plan No. 24 to the north. This FISCAL IMPACT: RECOMMENDATION: most recent proposed project also abuts South Meirose Drive, butdoes not gain access from it. Access to the proposed subdivision is gained:from a collector street running cast/west on the southerly side of tha property, generally known as Faraday Drive in Carlsbad Or Los Monos Drive in Vista. The streets run from Business Park Drive into Carlsbad. Access is also taken from a street to the north which was approved as part of the previous subdivision to the north. A system of streets known as "A" Street, "B" Street, and "C" Street, all public and varying in width from 56 to 60' provide access to the interior of the sub- division. The subdivision does not meet the policy of the City which requires private Open Space or recreational area in subdi- visions where the lot sizes are less than 6,000 sq.ft. in size. That situation is explained later in this staff report. Site and Situation Factors: The property is the northwesterly corner of Specific Plan No. 15 and abuts the City of Carlsbad to the west and the fcawson/University of California property to the northwest. The remainder of Specific Plan No. 15 is either commercial or Industrial. The applicant is also requesting a Zone Change from R-M4B, which would allow approximately 329 units, to R-1B(5), which would allow 5,000 sq.ft. lots. The purpose of the Zone Change is specifically to avoid a low income housing fee which would be approximately $1,000 to $1,500 per unit, which would be applied if the project were to remain in the K-M zone. grading Comments; This property is being graded along with Melrose Drive, Faraday Street, and tha commercial area which is located at the northeast corner of the subdivision. Thus, the grading, which is massive, is approximately 25,000 cubic yards per acre. The grading, which can be considered major, also takes into account flat streets and flat commercial pads. Thus, the residential grading is not quite as heavy as it would seem, Access: The project gains its access from South Melrose Drive, conditions of Specific Plans 24, Shadowridge, and 15, require intersectiions of no closer than 1,300' along Melrosa, In Carlsbad, where it abuts Melrose, requires intersections of 2,600' intervals. Tha access proposed can be considered ade- quate. No direct access is on Melrose or Faraday. All lota gain access through Streets "A", "B", or "C" which are normal residen- tial streets with 40' wide paving and various parkway width from 8 to 10' on each side. Parking! AS these are single-family houses, parking will consist of ""two-car garages for each unit with onstreet parking on the local streets permitted. Floor Plan and Elevations: Floor plans and elevations are not required for a slngic-family subdivision of this type- However, there is a special requirement that there bo architectural com- patibility. It can be assumed that, since this project is being developed by the same developer of the subdivision immediately to the north, that the same housing type will be used. Landscaping; The specific plan shows a landscape buffer along the Dawson Ranch on tha northwest which IB basically Lots 149 through 168. In addition, the City of Carlsbad has requestedthat a buffer be used between Lots 128 and 148 because tha ad- joining Carlsbad property is zoned industrial and there should be a buffer between residential and industrial. Thirdly, it has been suggested that the lots abutting Melrose Drive, which are Lots 15 through 38, be provided with a noise buffer. The condi- tions require buffers along all three areas. However, the exact type of buffers have yet to be designed, in addition, each bank will be landscaped per requirements of the grading ordinance. Effect oft Surrounding Property: The surrounding property is either residential being developed as this site is, or commer- cial/industrial in both Carlsbad and Vista, mostly undeveloped at this time. The impact of this subdivision will be minor since the buffers will prevent, or at least reduce, the amount of future complaints that Carlsbad and Vista would receive because of the industrial developments adjacent to the project site. In addition, staff has developed a policy with regard to phasing which should reduce complaints from new property owners and new move-ins in the first few phases as construction continues. This is an attempt to reduce the problem the City has encountered in Shadowridge where people living in the first phase of a project complained about the construction inconvenience caused by devel- opment of later phases. Redeyelopraent Comments: This site is not within the Redevelop- ment Project Area. Growth controlOrdinance Comments; Specific Plan No. 15 Is an exempt Specific Plan, thus this project does not complete for the 500 unit cap. Traffic Impact Comments; This construction of Melrose Drive and Sycamore;to the immediate north will substantially enhance circu- lation in this area, Mel rose Drive will be a major street in the future which will connect from Carlsbad to Oceanside. Other Committee or Commission Comments: None. However, the City received a letter from the City of Carlsbad with various sugges- tions dealing with the subdivision, since we do abut them to the immediate west, end they were concerned of the effect of thoir industrial land to the weat on our aubdlvision. We have incorpo- rated most of their suggestions. Applicable Policies; The City has a policy which was developed in the early stages of Shadowridge, that a 6,000 sq.ft. is the minimum size single-family lot, unless Borne sort of compensating private Open Space or recreational area is provided within the subdivision. The subdivision to the north, also being developed by this subdivider did not comply with that policy, nor does this subdivision. The northerly subdivision dedicated over 30 acres r ety c for public parkland and, thus, was assumed -to b* an accepted substitute. In order for this present project to comply they .would have had to either redesign the subdivision and provide interior open space recreational areas or, as set forth in the resolution of approval, they will provide funds for development of areas of the previously mentioned public parkland. It is believed by Staff that smaller recreational areas within this type of subdivision will probably not be as conducive to recrea- tional use as developed parkland which is almost directly to the north and accessible by the residents. He believe that the smaller lota can be developed if additional development is done in the City park to the north as compensation. Problerosjij On this site there was a possibility of archaeological sites, there is a riparian habitat and an oak woodland, as well as a fresh water marsh. The oak woodland and fresh water marsh and riparian habitat would be destroyed. They are, however, small about 3,500 sq. ft. in size for the riparian habitat and marsh, and approximately one acre for the oak woodland. The street alignments preclude saving of most of this vegetation and permits will be required from the Corps of Engineers and the State Department of Fish and Game to remove the riparian habitat and fresh water marsh. Because of their size, staff does not believe that there is any reason why they need be saved. There is some concern with regard to the oak area, which consists of ten to twelve trees. Staff believes that in the long term it will be very difficult to save these trees and develop the major street networks that are required for the industrial development in the area. In addition, certain species of sensitive plants were discovered. However, there are so few of them and they are so scattered that it would :be almost impossible to protect them. It will be re- quired that, because of the possibility of paleontological sites, the City's contract paleontologist will observe the grading. Mternat 1 ves; The basic alternative, given the current zoning, General Flan, and Specific Plan, is for over 300 apartment units to be built. Staff believes the proposed single-family project is a preferable alternative. Discussion of Key issues; The main key issues deal with the buffers around the site. Staff hopes that the buffers along the Los Monos Preserve to- the northwest will be sufficient to reduce impact on the preserve which has been a concern of the City, the owners of the ranch, and the University of California for some time. In addition. Staff believes that the buffering will be sufficient to reduce the noise level from the industrial land to the west -and the road to the east. Staff also believes that, because of the snail area of riparian and fresh water habitat, that it can be destroyed and is not suitable for saving. That belief is backed by the report of a biologist contracted by the applicant, and therefore Staff geher- ally believes that the key issues involved would not preclude the development of the subdivision as proposed. The last key laaue, the reduced lot size, has been explained above. Conclusions; Staff believes that the proposal which reduces the number of possible units by over 160 is relatively desirable when given the higher density alternatives and is, therefore, recom- mending approval.

Kimley-Hom and Associates is about to enter into a contract with the City of Carlsbad for both the roadway and sewer projects. As we discussed, the biological surveys are on the critical path and we will need to begin this work no later than March 1,2000. Since we most likely will not be under contract until the end of February we should begin immediately on the surveying and base mapping so that the biological work can begin on time. Rather than wait until the end of February to proceed with the survey, Kimley-Horn and Associates is willing to begin work on a notice to proceed based on the understanding that the contract will be signed in February, 2000. Your signature at the bottom of this letter authorizes Kimley-Hom and Associates to proceed with the services as outlined in our January 18,2000 survey scope of work (attached) for an amount not to exceed 525,000. If we are unable to successfully negotiate the contract with the City of Carlsbad, the City will reimburse Kimley-Horn and Associates for all survey work up to $25,000.
