Past History and Related Cases Condominium Ordinance, City Council Resolution No. 9516. The City Council adopted a condominium conversion ordinance on September 18, 1978, which added Section 21.47 to the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This section regulates development standards for new condominiums and condominium conversions. The standards include setbacks, parking requirements, guest parking areas, storage space, open recreation areas, laundry areas and refuse collection facilities. This section requires that all condominium projects or conversions apply for a condominium permit. This application will be referred to as CP-2. V-282, McDonald, Planning Commission Resolution No. 1459. On August 9, 1978, the Planning Commission approved a variance to allow fewer parking spaces than are required by Section 21.44.130(7). The property is located on the northeast corner of Oak and Carlsbad Boulevard. There is a small, 765 square foot juice and sandwich bar on the lot. The variance was granted because the property is substandard in size and irregular in shape. The site is triangular and has streets on all sides. A total of 8 spaces were required, the variance allows 0 off-street parking spaces. CT77-8, Rolly Pulaski and Associates, City Council Resolution No. 5161, Planning Commission Resolution No. 1375. The City Council approved a tentative map for a 16 lot subdivision on August 2, 1977. This map was for the 5.5 acres just south of the subject property. This property will be four- plexes, as approved in SDP 77-1. SDP 77-1, Pulaski and Associates, Planning Commission Resolution No. 1374. On June 22, 1977, the Planning Commission approved a Site Development Plan for 15 acres on the northeast corner of Alga Road and El Camino Real. The conditions of approval required half street improvements including a median, a five foot view obscuring fence along northeast property line and a redesign of the parking area for the apartments. Two revisions have since been made to this SDP, both dealt with the commercial center. A declaration of nonsignificant environmental impact was issued for this SDP on the basis of a previous EIR and a supplemental EIR. The supple- mental EIR dealt with traffic circulation and archaeology. I Page 3 Zone Change, City Council Resolution No. 9437, September 16, 1975. This was a city initiated zone change which placed the "Q" overlay on this property to ensure comprehensive development df the project. EIR 283, Certified on May 6, 1975. This EIR was prepared for the annexation of this property. It cited two areas needing further research when specific develop- ment plans were initiated, traffic circulation and the archaeology of the site. Preannexational zone Change, City Council Resolution No. 9410, December 10, 1974. The City Council approved a preannexational zone change from E-l-A (County) to RD-M and C-l. These zones became effective when the property was annexed to the City. Major Planning Considerations 1. Can the required findings for a variance be made? 2. Will there be adequate parking for this site if the variance is approved? 3. Will this variance create a precedent for other variances from the parking requirements of the condominium ordinance? DISCUSSION This request involves a variance from Section 21.47.130(2) of the condominium ordinance which regulates parking. The ordinance requires two spaces per unit, one of which must be covered, and visitor parking at a rate of one for every two units for the first ten units and one for every four units over ten. The total required parking for this 80-unit project would be 183 spaces. There are 128 spaces on the property, 80 of which are covered. These 80 spaces are provided under the units, 8 spaces in each of 10 buildings. In approving a variance, the Commission must make findings which indicate that extraordinary circumstances exist on this property and that a substantial property right is being denied to this property. The Commission must also determine that the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the surrounding properties. The variance must be consistent with the general plan. The subject property is a triangular lot which is split by a street, Swallow Lane. The shape of the 1t somewhat limits the building arrangement. The street dedication and the resultant area north of the street, reduced the area available for the complex. There is also a 50 foot setback along El Camino Real. This is 30-40 feet wider than the standard front yard setback for the RDM zone and reduces the buildable area by 18,400 to 26,400 square feet. In addition, this project was designed prior to the adoption of the condominium ordi- nance. The developer could not have known what the parking requirements would be or that they would be stricter than those for the underlying zone. . . Page 4 The applicant needs a total of 183 spaces, 160 tenant spaces and 23 visitor spaces. There are not enough parking spaces to provide 2 spaces for every unit. The applicant feels that many of the buyers of these condominiums will be one car families due to the small unit size. Staff feels that most families will have two wage earners and therefore at least two cars. In addition, garages are often used as storage and would therefore reduce the amount of available parking. Since the parking for the tenants is inadequate, there will rarely be any visitor parking available. This will result in cars parked along the driveways and in front of the garages. A large number of parked cars may impede fire access to the complex. There may also be some parking along El Camino Real. The parking problems . may adversely affect the neighboring properties. The Circulation Element of the General Plan specifies that the City shall assure "sufficient off-street parking with all new developments." The General Plan also requires that all new developments have adequate facilities. RE COMNENDAT ION Staff recommends DENIAL of V-291 for the following reasons: 1) There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to this property that do not apply generally to the vicinity and zone. 2) The property is not being denied a substantial property right possessed by other property in the vicinity and zone. Other condominium conversions in the area and zone must meet the same requirements. 3) The variance may be detrimental to surrounding properties by causing residents of this project to park in neighboring projects. 4> The variance is not consistent with the guidelines of the General Plan since adequate off-street parking has not been provided.
