AGENDA OF: April 7, 1999 Application complete date: October 8, 1998 Project Planner: Van Lynch Project Engineer: Mike Shirey SUBJECT: CT 98-15/CP 98-08/SDP 98-17 - RANCHQ CARRILLO VILLAGE B - PHASE II - Request for approval of a Tentative Tract Map, Condominium Permit and Site Development Plan to construct 124 condominium units on property generally located within the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan near the southeast corner of Palomar Airport Road and Melrose Drive in Local Facilities Management Zone 18. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4467, 4468, 4469, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of CT 98-15, CP 98-08, and SDP 98-15, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, including the errata dated April 7, 1999. II. INTRODUCTION This item was originally scheduled to be heard on March 3, 1999 and was continued to April 7, 1999. ATTACHMENTS; 1. Errata sheet dated April 7, 1999 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4467 (CT) 3. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4468 (CP) 4. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4469 (SDP) 5. Staff Report dated March 3, 1999, with attachments April?, 1999 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: CT 98-15/CP 98-08/SDP 98-17 - RANCHO CARRILLO VILLAGE B PHASE II Please replace Exhibit "A" and architectural exhibits (exhibits "G"-"R") with the attached new plans. The revision is a result of floor plan number two being a three bedroom unit rather than a two bedroom unit as correctly stated in the staff report. On Table 1 and Table 2 on page two of the staff report, the three bedroom living square footage of 1,003 square feet should read as 1,034 square feet. The plan elevations have been modified to address the larger patio/deck area and window placement. Staff supports the revision. Please delete the last sentence on page 9 and add the following language to the "Environmental Section" of the staff report: The City has received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report. The Report has recorded an unanticipated intersection "level of service" (LOS) failure at Palomar Airport Road (PAR) and El Camino Real (ECR) during both the a,m. and p.m. peak hours. This potentially creates a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous environmental documentation. Pursuant to §15162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must prepare a "Subsequent" environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a "Subsequent EIR" if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to a level of insignificance. A mitigation measure has been identified which, if implemented, will bring the peak hours LOS into the acceptable range. The mitigation measure involves construction of two dual right turn lanes-northbound to eastbound and westbound to northbound. This project has been conditioned to pay its fair share of the intersection "short-term improvements" thereby, guaranteeing mitigation to a level of insignificance. The applicant is in agreement with the proposed condition. Please modify Resolution No. 4467 by the following additions: New Finding 21. That this project could have a potentially significant negative cumulative traffic impact on the Palomar Airport Road/ El Camino Real intersection. However, this project has been conditioned to pay its fair share of the "short-term improvements" thereby, guaranteeing implementation of a mitigation measure that reduces the potential impact to a level of insignificance. New Condition 31 and then renumber. The Developer shall pay their fair share for the "short-term improvements" to the El Camino Real/ Palomar Airport Road intersection prior to approval of the final map or the issuance of a grading permit, whichever occurs first. The amount shall be determined by the methodology ultimately selected by Council, including but not limited to, an increase in the city-wide traffic impact fee; an increased or new Zone 18 LFMP fee; the creation of a fee or assessment district; or incorporation into a Mello-Roos taxing district.
