Dwelling units will provide housing for older citizens in a park-like surrounding, commonly owned recreational facilities and allowing only peripheral through traffic. This submittal is the proposed 4th and last development increment of the Altamira project (formerly known as "Campobelo"). Unit No. 1 of 198 units has been graded, improvements almost complete with over 80 dwelling units almost com- pleted. Unit No. .2 of 128 dwelling units has been'approved. Unit #3 of 248 units has been approved and construction of the first development increment is underway. 2. Describe the activity area, including distinguishing natural -and manmade characteristics; also provide.pre- cise slope analysis when appropriate. Adjoining the east side of Interstate 5 (San Diego Freeway), from 2,000 to 4,000 feet south of Palomar Airport Road. The area was, until'summer of 1972, un- occupied land, 50 acres of' which is flat land, at the base of a gently sloping (12%), 80 foot high hill. The flat portion of the land- lies 15 to 5 feet above the level of the Freeway, and was brush covered and unused agriculturally. The hill side land was utilized for-'commercial flower growing. Three rows of mature palm trees at 40 to 80 foot intervals exist on the property as well as three large shade trees, all of which have been incorporated into the final plans. The sandy soil has layers of impervious clayey soil which has created swampy, agriculturally poor soil ate the base of the hill area.
