ATTACHMENT A Project Description The project is a zone change from OS (Open Space) to RD-M (Residential Density - Multiple) for a 7.0-acre site. The site is part of a larger 36.2-acre parcel (otherwise zoned RD-M) which is located immediately south of the Palomar Airport Business Park and west of El Camino Real. The zone change is requested to: o Establish zoning for the site in conformance with the existing General Plan; o Provide flexibility in site planning and sensitive environ- mental design opportunities for the entire 36.2-acre property; and o Allow the development of a maximum of 362 dwelling units on the site consistent with the Medium Density Residential (4-10 du/acre) general plan land use designation. Project Background The 36.2-acre site has been the subject of an earlier general plan amendment and zoning request which is summarized below: o In June of 1983, general plan amendment and prezoning actions were initiated for the site (GPA/LU 83-2 and ZC-281) to permit the development of 296 to 516 residential units and recreational uses. The proposal included medium density residential (southern portion-existing), high density :residential (northwest portion) and open space recreational (northeast corner) designations for the site. The open space recreational designation for the northeasterly 7 acres was proposed with consideration of commercial recreational uses. Correspondence between the City and the applicant regarding this request indicated the need for an EIR as well as staff's support of the application. o A comprehensive EIR (83-7) evaluating the proposed GPA and zone change was prepared and subsequently certified by the City (incorporated by prior compliance for the current request). o City planning staff recommended that the Planning Commission deny the GPA request, but approve prezoning the entire 36.2-acre site RD-M to achieve consistency with the underlying general plan designation (Medium Density Residential). o In considering the project, the Planning Commission found that the site would be suitable for higher density residential uses and therefore approved the Medium High Density Residential designation (10-20 du/acre). Also approved by the Commission were the Open Space general plan and zoning designations for the northeast portion of the site and RD-M zoning over the remainder of the parcel. o The City Council did not approve the GPA for the site as recommended by the Planning Commission, nor the original GPA request. The existing Medium Density Residential desig- nation was retained for the entire site; however, the City Council approved RD-M zoning for all but the northeast portion of the site. The OS zoning was instead adopted by the Council for this 7.0-acre area without any change in the existing general plan for this or any other portion of the site. ; / Subsequent to this hearing, the applicant assumed that the requested actions were denied and the existing general plan and zoning designations were retained to provide the flexibility necessary to implement the underlying general plan. Subsequent discussions with City staff revealed that the OS zoning had been retained for the northeast portion of the site. o Discussions concerning a zone change to RD-M for the northeast portion of the site, as previously recommended by the planning staff, were initiated with the City. Staff indicates their support of this request and concurs that the zone change is appropriate and will not result in signifi- cant environmental effects. o Notwithstanding this zone change request, portions of this 7.0-acre site will not be developed due to the existing SDG&E transmission easement. Therefore, the intent of this request is to provide design flexibility over the entire 36.2 acres.

ELFEND AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Project Processing, Management and Environmental Analysis August 28, 1984 Mr. Paul Klukas Land Use Planning Office City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Subject: Roberts Group Property Zone Change Dear Paul: In accordance with our previous discussions, we have filed a zone change for the northeasterly 7 acres of the Roberts Group property near the Palomar Airport Business Park. As you are aware, the requested change is from open space recreation to multiple family residential to establish zoning consistency with the existing general plan and to provide flexibility in site planning and sensitive environmental design opportunities for the larger 36.2-acre property. In preparing the supporting Environmental Impact Assessment Form, we have indicated that the property has been the subject of a previous development proposal and comprehensive prior EIR (83-7). Consequently, we believe that a determination of prior EIR compliance should be granted for the current request based on Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The CEQA processing for the current Roberts Group zone change is identical to that of the recent GPA request for Area F of the Kelly Ranch property. The City granted a determination of prior EIR compliance for the Kelly Ranch GPA which was supported by a previously prepared EIR on the property. It was later determined by the State Office of Planning and Research that no further review of the prior compliance determination was necessary as the proposal was identical to that addressed in the previous EIR. The Roberts Group CEQA processing requirement is identical to the Kelly Ranch and, therefore, we believe a determination of prior EIR compliance is appropriate without public review. 1601 Dove St., Suite 160 • Newport Beach, CA 92660 • (714) 476-2211 Mr. Paul Klukas City of Carlsbad August 28, 1984 Page Two If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call.

Additionally, the evaluation has included the necessity for any relocation of existing transmission facilities. The District's review indicates that the development will be directly involved with transmission facilities of the Water District so that the Water District will review the public water system requirements for the entire subdivision and be directly responsible for the approval of all engineering construction drawings and the contract administration and construction inspection for the entire water system project. As we have previously reported to you, public water service will be provided to this new proposed development area from existing facilities of the Water District and new facilities that will be the responsibility of the development for construction. We point out to you that the District has an existing 18-inch steel transmission main which traverses the entire property from east to west so that any design considerations for the land form will want to take into account the existence of this major facility. In the event you have any questions regarding public water service for the proposed project, please contact the undersigned. you J^aclT/Y.

The impacts discussed below were addressed in this previous EIR (incorporated by prior compliance for the current request) which was certified by the City of Carlsbad on October 28, 1983. 5. Residential development is expected to include condominiums, townhomes, apartments and/or zero lot line product types which may increase the stock of low and modest cost housing units within the City of Carlsbad. 18. The City of Carlsbad will be responsible for approval of the zone change request and subsequent precise plans for development of the site. The San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission (annexation) and Coastal Commission (Mello II LCP) also will be involved in the permitting of development on the site. 23. As discussed in the prior EIR, some localized slopes of 25% or more may be graded in connection with development of the site. Preliminary grading plans have not yet been developed. However, these plans will incorporate the requirements of the City's grading code and the recom- mendations of the project geologist to insure proper slope stability, building pad design and drainage. 29. As discussed in the prior EIR, major changes to existing landforms within the site are not expected to occur as a result of project grading due to the existing electrical towers and easements. Subsequent grading and development plans for the site will require review by SDG&E. STATEMENT OF NON I GUI FI CANT ENVIRONMENTAL FECTS If you have answered yes to one or more of the questions in Section I but you think the activity will have no significant environmental effects, indicate your reasons below: Environmental impacts associated with the project can be reduced to acceptable levels through application of the mitigation measures specified in EIR. 83-7 and incorporated • into subsequent development plans.

This item was continued from the Planning Commission hearing of November 14, 1984. This continuance allowed staff the opportunity to review a letter from the Department of Transportation that was sent to the State Clearinghouse regarding the Negative Declaration prepared for this project. A copy of this letter is attached to this memo. It appears that the Department of Transportation was not aware that this site already had a General Plan designation of R-M, Residential Medium, (4-10 du/ac) and that an Environmental Impact Report for a 36 acre parcel which included the subject property was certified. This EIR addressed the issues brought up in the Department of Transportation's letter. In addition, the subject property is approximately 3/4 of a mile south of Palomar Airport and outside the boundaries of the airport influence area. Staff, therefore, recommends that the Commission approve the Negative Declaration and recommend approval of the Zone Change as detailed in the Staff Report of November 14, 1984.

The following suggestions are offered for your consideration. The draft EIR should address the impact of airport noise and/or safety on the project as well as the impact of the project itself on the safety of airport operations. Consideration should also be given to the issue of compatible land uses in areas adjacent to the airport. This should help to relieve future conflict between airports and their surroundings.

I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and ADOPT Resolution No. 2380 recommending APPROVAL of ZC-316 based on the findings contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting that the zoning of the above mentioned site be changed from 0-S to RD-M(Q). The proposed zone change would effect approximately 7 acres of sloping hillside that is covered with disturbed native vegetation. A San Diego Gas and Electric easement runs northwest to southeast through the site. This site is part of a 36 acre parcel, see Exhibit "A", that was brought before the Planning Commission for a General Plan Amendment and Preannexational Zoning in October 1983. At that time, the Planning Commission approved a General Plan Amendment to RMH on the northwest corner and OS, Open Space on the northeast corner of the 36 acre parcel. The Commission also approved a preannexational zoning of RD-M(Q) on the majority of the site and OS for the northeast corner. The applicant's intent was to have recreational uses in the Open Space area with the approval of a conditional use permit. The City Council, subsequently, denied the general plan amendments and approved the preannexational zoning of RD-M(Q) and OS. The applicant is now requesting that the seven acre site in the northeast corner that was prezoned 0-S, Open Space be rezoned to RD-M(Q), Residential Density Multiple with a Q Overlay. The proposed zoning of RD-M(Q) would be consistent with the existing general plan designation of RM, Residential Density Multiple 4- 10 du/ac. III. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Is the proposed RD-M(Q) zone consistent with the RM General Plan designation? 2) Is the proposed RD-M(Q) zone and the uses allowed within this zone consistent with surrounding zoning and land uses? Discussion The proposed RD-M(Q) zone is consistent with the RM, Residential Medium Density (4-10 du/ac), general plan designation since the RD-M zone is the implementing zone for the RM general plan designation. Staff believes that the proposed RD-M(Q) zone and the uses allowed within this zone would be consistent with the surrounding zoning and land uses. The RD-M(Q) zone will allow the subject property to be developed with single family or multiple family units. The Q Overlay requires Planning Commission approval of a site development plan prior to issuance of a building permit. Staff believes that this will ensure that any development proposed will be compatible with other future development in the area. In addition, the Q Overlay will ensure that any development that does occur on this site will be adequately buffered from the existing industrial development to the north. In conclusion, staff believes that the proposed RD-M(Q) zone is consistent with the general plan designation of the subject property and the zone and the uses allowed within the zone will be consistent with surrounding zoning and land uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval of ZC-316. IV.
