As clarified by your second call, the agenda for the 7/1/98 hearing includes Area D on the agenda, but recommends that the item be continued. This is a clarification from your earlier call informing us that the item had been entirely pulled from the agenda. In addition, we understand from your second call that the informational package given to the Commissioners for the hearing does not include the staff report and related resolutions for AreaD As such, the Area D map will be continued and will not be heard on 7/1/98. Per your confirmation, it is not necessary that we attend the hearing on 7/1/98 and we are not planning to do so because the item will not be discussed other than to approve a continuance. Further, even if turned out there was time to hear Area D on the night of the hearing and if we asked that it be heard, the Planning Commission would not be able to do so because they were not given the staff report and related resolutions as part of their information packages.

APPLICATION NAME AND NUMBER APPLICANT OR APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE BY: DATE: RECEIVED BY DATE: *//. •* Hofman Planning Associates Planning Project Management Fiscal Analysis April 29, 1998 David Mauser City of Carlsbad 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, CA 92009 SUBJECT: Poinsettia Shores Master Plan - Park Fee Credit Dear David: This letter is prepared as an update to my letter to you dated February 19, 1998 regarding the decreasing park land credit for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. This update letter provides a revised Park Land Demand table that increased the number of units within Planning Area J from 75 to 77 units as you had requested. This change resulted in a slightly different impact to the park land credits. As indicated to you previously, I would like to obtain your concurrence regarding the amount of the park in- lieu fee required for the approval of the remaining final maps within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Based on our recent conversations, it is acknowledged that the park land credit for the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan area is dwindling. Once the credit is expended, the remaining planning areas requesting final map approval will be required to pay park in- lieu fees prior to the issuance of building permits. Currently, the park in-lieu fee is $1,575 per dwelling unit. This fee per unit amount will be effective until the City revises the Dedication of Land for Recreational Facilities Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code 20.44) and the Park In-Lieu Fee amount. As you may know, three final maps are currently being processed in the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. These maps are for Planning Areas A-3, A-4 and B-1. The last of these three maps to receive approval will deplete the remaining park credits available within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. Since none of these maps have been scheduled for City Council as of this date, it is not known which map will deplete the remaining credits. However, the impacts to park facilities beyond the park land credit can be determined. These impacts result in a park in-lieu fee that must be paid. The impacts to park facilities created by Areas A-3, A-4 and B-1 are determined by multiplying the total number of units for these three planning areas (269 dwelling units) by 393 square feet per single family detached dwelling unit as required by the 2386 Fo<-adn" Avenue * S.iile :20 • Carlsbad • CA 92008 - (619)438-1465 • !;ax: (619)438-2443 Dedication of Land for Recreational Facilities Ordinance. This results in 105,717.00 square feet of park land demand created by these three planning areas. Since there are currently only 2.344 acres (102,104.64 sf.) of credit remaining, a deficiency of 3,612.36 square feet is projected (105,717.00 sf. -102,104.64 sf. = 3,612.36 sf.) once the final maps for Planning Areas A-3, A-4 and B-1 are approved. This deficiency must be corrected and is done so by paying the park in-lieu fee. The park in-lieu fee amount is determined by converting the deficient square footage to a dwelling unit equivalency. This is done by dividing the deficient square footage of 3,612.36 by 393 square feet per dwelling unit. The result is 9.19 dwelling units. The 9.19 dwelling unit deficiency is then multiplied by the current park in-lieu fee of $1,575 which results in a fee amount of $14,474.25 ($1,575 x 9.19 = $14,474.25). The payment of the park in-lieu fee, or securing a bond or a letter of credit in the amount of the park in-lieu fee identified above must be provided to the City prior to the approval of the third final map. Providing a bond or letter of credit allows for the actual payment of the park in-lieu fee to be deferred until the issuance of building permits. Since all the park land credits within the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan will be depleted after the approval of the final maps for Areas A-3, A-4 and B-1, the remaining Planning Areas (Planning Areas C and D) will be required to pay a park in-lieu fee on a per unit basis in the amount of the fee that is in effect at the time of the issuance of building permits. At this time, I would like to obtain your concurrence for the amount identified above. Upon your concurrence, the necessary documents to ensure the payment of the park in-lieu fee will be prepared. Please give me call if you have any questions or if you are in agreement with the contents of this letter. Sincerely, *^Stan Weiler enclosure cc.

They have now been moved to this new section of the form entitled "Standard Code Reminders" because they reiterate requirements that are already adopted and codified as part of the Carlsbad Municipal Code or other applicable ordinances. The Planning Department's use of these Code Reminders has evolved through practical application in approving and implementing development projects. The Code Reminders emphasize and highlight important requirements and this information has been useful to the Planning Commission, Developer, and Staff. B) When a Code Reminder is applicable to a specific project or permit, it should be placed at the end of ALL CONDITIONS of the resolution in a separate section entitled "Code Reminders." To further qualify the Code Reminder section of the resolution, a note should be added stating that: "The project is subject to all applicable provisions of local ordinances, including but not limited to the following code requirements. 1. The Developer shall pay park-in-lieu fees to the City, prior to the approval of the final map as required by Chapter 20.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. 2. The Developer shall pay a landscape plan check and inspection fee as required by Section 20.08.050 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Final Map Notes 3. The Developer shall provide the following note on the final map of the subdivision and final mylar of this development submitted to the City: "Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code established a Growth Management Control Point for each General Plan land use designation.

Per our discussion and based on a review of your work load and the City's scheduling calendar, you have been able to establish June as a likely Planning Commission hearing date for the map. Further, we now understand that the City attorney will require a negative declaration rather than a finding of prior compliance. We also understand that the City will use the processing time between now and prior to the June hearing date to complete the noticing and public review period required for the negative declaration. Therefore the negative declaration will not delay the hearing date because the public review period will run concurrently within the time that you need to complete your review and staff report. We appreciate all your help in bring this project to a quick conclusion. We understand that your current work load has extended the time needed to process your projects and we wish to keep open our offer to help in anyway we can. We believe that our last submittal addressed the City's comments and concerns. If in your review something comes up, please let us know so that we can resolve it as soon as possible.

Subsequent to our conversation, I contacted Ron Teshima of Teshima Design Group to discuss the landscaping options possible for enhancing these areas. Our goal is to create a sense of arrival. Attached please find Ron's response of April 16, 1998 indicating his concerns and suggestions.

As you know, the areas are very tight and have limited space. We would suggest that a specific type of tree, for example a palm tree (Washingtonia robusta, Mexican Fan Palm), be used at each side of the entries in lieu of the street tree. This palm tree would not be used anywhere else on.the project. The plant palette is quite limited because of the close proximity of the ocean.

The railroad is host to high speed train service including Coaster commuter trains, Amtrak intercity trains and BNSF freight trains. Currently, over forty trains operate daily between San Diego and Oceanside. In the future additional trains may be added. Maximum speed on the railroad is 90 miles per hour. Given the high service frequency and train speed, NCTD is very concerned about individuals trespassing in the railroad right-of- way. As you are likely aware, efforts have been underway to provide for non-railroad uses in the right-of-way. NCTD has been participating in the planning for the Coastal Rail Trail which is planned to be located along the eastern edge of the railroad right-of-way in the project area. NCTD has been working with the cities to address outstanding issues including liability, ownership and trail management, operations and maintenance funding, non- motorized at-grade crossings, safety issues, and the physical separation of the railroad facilities from the rail trail. For the proposed project, a noise barrier wall is planned along the railroad right-of-way. On the west side of the noise wall a 5 foot pedestrian trail is planned within the existing 20 foot public utility easement. This pedestrian trail is of concern to NCTD. While the pedestrian trail would be located on private property, there is no barrier proposed to keep trail users from entering the railroad right-of-way. Issues similar to those of concern with the Coastal Rail Trail planning need to be addressed. First, the unfenced pedestrian trail NOBTM COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT 810 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, CA 92054 760-967-2828 will invite pedestrians into close proximity to the railroad and will provide easy access to the tracks. Second, the pedestrian trail will be out of view from homes and may become an area in which security can not be assured. Third, the development of this trail could also create potential future problems along the railroad including graffiti, vandalism, vagrancy, and trespassing. In addition, when the Coastal Rail Trail developed, two trails would run along Lot 8. Lastly, NCTD has been working with other city staff in addressing issue regarding development near the railroad. We have met on several occasions with Dee Landers and UDC Homes to discuss the Poinsettia Properties project. Noise walls are also required for that project. We have recommended that the noise wall and associated slope area be landscaped to create an attractive view by minimizing solid block walls which invite graffiti. NCTD would like to work with the city to create a more uniform approach in addressing issues that have arisen due to the new development along the railroad right-of-way and the planning of the Coastal Rail Trail. NCTD would welcome a meeting with City of Carlsbad staff to discuss these issues further. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to comment on this project.

At the northern portion of the specified 7.0 foot section of wall, the water district requires an access gate. The location of this acces gate is shown in Exhibit 1. In order to remain an effective noise barrier, the gate must maintain a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot. This can typically be achieved by using 1 1/2" plywood or heavy guage metal. The gate must close snugly or must overlap at the point of closure. The gap at the bottom of the gate shall be kept to a minimum, and should be provided with a resilient flap to reduce flanking noise under the gate.

Any approval of this project will be conditioned to pay agricultural mitigation fees (per the Master Plan). 2. The site plan (Sheet 3 of 3) will need to be corrected to match the landscape plan with regard to the noise wall. The site plan still shows a noise wall which exceeds 6' in height rather than the revised design (maximum 6' in height combined with berming) shown on the landscape plan. 3. The proposed landscaping along the noise wall is shown on railroad-owned or other- owned property (i.e., property not owned by the developer). This landscaping is also to be located on top of a 20' easement for sewer access. The necessary landscaping may be incompatible with the need for vehicles (trucks) to use the easement. Also, the degree of slope of the easement may make it difficult for the trucks to use it. This situation could be exacerbated by the additional berming required to keep the noise wall to a maximum height of 6'. These conditions/problems will need to be resolved so that 1) the easement can be used by the necessary vehicles, 2) the noise wall includes berming to keep the height to 6', 3) the noise wall is adequately landscaped, 4) the necessary maintenance arrangements can be made satisfactorily. Staff suggests you provide 2-3 cross-sections/profiles at the "worst case" points of the easement to assist in finding the best solution to this issue. (See next item for a related issue.) 4. You will need to incorporate a gate in the noise wall to allow vehicular access to the sewer access easement. You will need to provide a letter from the noise analyst regarding this issue. The letter should address the impacts of incorporating the required gate and any recommendations regarding the best location for it. (The current noise study assumes and depends upon there being no cracks or openings in the wall.)

You must demonstrate on the architectural elevations compliance with the City's building height regulations. The height must be measured from either the existing or proposed grade (whichever is the more restrictive) to the peak of the structure. 2. The floor plans for Plans 2 and 3 call out a loft area. You will need to call out the square footage of the loft portion individually and demonstrate compliance with the City's definition of a "loft" (copy enclosed). If the loft area does not comply with the City's "loft" definition, it must be counted as a "story" when calculating building height. 3. The floor plans do not call out the dimensions of the proposed garages. This information must be included on the plans. 4. The floor plan sheets for all of the structures call out square footages for decks/balconies. However, the locations and dimensions of the decks are not shown on the floor plan sheets for Plans 2 or 3. This information must be included on the plans. (The information is provided for Plan 30. The information should be provided for the other plans in a similar manner.) 5. The PFF Agreement provided requires an additional signature. As indicated on page 6 of the document, the signature of both the president or vice-president and the secretary or assistant secretary are required. The president's signature is on the document. However, the secretary's or assistant secretary's signature is also required. Staff is returning the original document to you for the additional signature and notarization. Staff suggests you return the corrected form as quickly as possible as the preliminary title report (which must accompany the PFF Agreement and be no more than 6 months old) is dated November 6, 1997. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. The floor plans contain a note indicating that the area calculations are "for Building Department purposes only". These notes will need to be removed from the plans. Engineering: Engineering Department staff has completed the 2nd review of the above-referenced project for resolution of issues. The application and plans submitted for this proposed project are not ready for approval and many of the previous comments are still unresolved. Engineering issues which need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior to staff making a determination on the proposed project are as follows: Traffic and Circulation: 1. Please show the approved emergency access across lot 5. The final development plans are in review and close to approval. Check with Fire Department regarding the closure or gate of this access. Generally we cannot support the plan as shown. 2. Please show the full offsite improvements that will serve this project. Street "E" to Avenida Encinas and the current street network proposed on lot 5. Identify the maintenance and responsibility of this secondary access. 3. A detail of the Cul De Sac at the entrance to this project should be shown to verify turnaround of inaccessible vehicles. The Cul De Sac Turnaround will be required as part of this project if a Gate system is proposed. 4. Please extend pedestrian access (i.e., concrete sidewalk) around the cul de sac to trail access gate #2. From an Engineering view, gate #1 could move to the north to better serve this project as opposed to the location at the south end. Sewer: 1. Please show existing easement and provide vehicle access to the proposed system. The existing issue with this facility is large truck access and turnaround, tree planting in an existing easement, and tree root intrusion or damage from vegetation. Contact Bill Plummer or Randy Klausen to discuss this further. Consider the adjacent project (Area B-1) and the similar solution to this issue. Drainage: 1. Please show the terminus of the off-site drainage at the north end of the site. Indicate the easement rights of the proposed 36" private facility. 2. Please show the terminus of the on-site 18" drainage system at the north end of the site. Indicate any easement rights needed offsite to handle this design. Miscellaneous: 1. Please show what is proposed on the adjacent parcel (Lot 5), within 100' of the property boundary. The adjacent project is ahead of this with specific design and location of units. Also show planning areas A-3 & A-4 and full improvements to Avenida Encinas as approved. 2. Attached is a red-lined check print of the proposed project for the applicants use in making the requested revisions. This check print must be returned with the project revisions to facilitate continued staff review.

Has this been accomplished? 8. Units 2 and 10 do not show any private recreation area. Engineering: No incomplete items have been identified at this time by Engineering. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. The noise study states that, and the Landscape plan shows that a noise wall of 6' to 8' in height will be required to mitigate noise impacts to the project. Staff recommends that a combination of berming and noise wall be utilized to limit the height of such walls to a maximum of 6'. This method will minimize the aesthetic impacts of the necessary noise wall. 2. The combination fireplace/home entertainment center of the floor plans encroach into the proposed yard setbacks for a greater distance (length) than would be allowed for a typical (fireplace) encroachment. Therefore, the setback dimensions will need to be measured from the more restrictive edge of the structures or the entertainment center portion of the encroachments will need to be eliminated.
