TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR A PRE-ANNEXATIONAL ZONE CHANGE FROM
SAN DIEGO COUNTY E-l-A TO CITY OF CARLSBAD P-C
(PLANNED COMMUNITY) ZONE AND ADOPTION OF A MASTER
PLAN ON 853 ACRES LYING SOUTHERLY AND NORTHERLY
OF PALOMAR AIRPORT ROAD AND APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES
EAST OF EL CAMINO REAL
APPLICANT: CARRILLO RANCHO PARTNERSHIP
Report submitted by: City Manager, Fire, Engineering, Building,
Parks & Recreation and Planning Departments
General Discussion:
The applicant is requesting reelassification in zone from San Diego
County E-l-A to City of Carlsbad Planned Community (P-C) Zone
and adoption of a Master Plan for 853 acres that will ultimately
have a total of 4995 dwelling units or a density of 5.8 dwelling
units per acre. 731 acres are to be used for residential purposes
(net density 6.8 dwelling units per acre), 20 acres allocated
for school useage, 10 acres for a community park and historical
site (Carrillo Ranch House), 15 acres for commercial/recreational
activities and 30 acres for commercial development. The balance
of the property (47i acres) is devoted to major circulation and/or
easements.
The proposal includes the preservation of existing Carrillo adobe
rancho house complex and the offer to dedicate the house and 10
acres of adjoining property to the City as a portion of the
community park. A substantial open space/recreational system
including the community park is programmed for the portion of
the property that adjoins the proposed alignment of Poinsettia
Drive. Additional open space corridors are planned to coincide
with the steeper slope areas within the subject property.
The alignment of Melrose Drive as proposed by the applicant is
in general conformance with the alignment tentatively set by the
County of San Diego. However, the alignment as proposed by the
applicant seems to require less grading, by following the natural
grades and topography as well as maintaining the integrity of
the development as proposed. The proposed county alignment will
disect the property in a northwest to southeast direction counter
to the flow of the natural topography. Additionally, the boundary
between Rich-Mar School District and Carlsbad Unified School
District is in part, represented by the Melrose Drive alignment
proposed by the applicant. All other alignments of major cir-
culation systems are either in place (Palomar Airport Road),
superimposed on existing graded roads (El Fuerte Street) or
will be aligned in accordance with requirements set by the
City of Carlsbad. All secondary road systems will be proposed
as part of future specific plan/tentative map approvals.

Staff Report
Water is available to the property under the jurisdiction of the
CMWD. A San Marcos sewer force main bisects the development
along the proposed Poinsettia Drive alignment, However, the
applicant will have to construct a separate line westerly to
eventually connect to the City gravity line at either El Camino
Real and Palomar Airport Road or to a future trunk line to be
constructed along the north shore of the Batiquitos Lagoon.
The applicant is aware of the proximity of the airport and its
potential for noise generation. Enclosed is a report from the
County of San Diego Airport Land Use Commission, that recommends
to the CPO Policy Committee a suggested Interim Airport Influence
Zone, This zone will require all developmental proposals be
sent to the ALUC for review and comment, and allow the ALUC to
have an opportunity to purchase or negotiate whatever rights,
if any, required for airport use prior to any improvements being
constructed. The Carrillo Ranch property is not directly
effected, however, the applicant recognizes the need to consider
the airport and its potential impact. Therefore, as a condition
of Master Plan approval the applicant will notify the ALUC of
all pending specific plan/tentative map applications and request
their comment.
The General Plan recommends that a elementary school site, a
major arterial road and an open space corridor be placed in
the vicinity of the subject proposal. The applicant has made
provisions for^ these items. Density recommended by the General
Plan is 0-2 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting
the General Plan be revised to allow an increase in density to 5.8
dwelling units per acre.
The General Plan and all required elements of the City of Carlsbad
are in the initial stages of revision. At such time that a
completed revision to the General Plan has been adopted, the
Carrillo Ranch Master Plan shall be amended to reflect appropriate
densities, land uses, circulation or any other requirement
defined by that General Plan.
