Subject: Proposed Revision of Zoning Ordinance
Dear Mr. Dominguez:
Thank you for your invitation to submit comments on the proposed
revision to the residential zoning ordinance. Our comments are
as follows:
--I
1. Section 21.16.020.01 (P-C Planned Community)
, ,
The sentence: "On lots having a minimum area of 50 acres"
is unclear especia11y when considered with respect to the
tttle which says "Lot area minimum less than 50 acresll~
2. Section 21.16.020.02
Commercial uses are proposed to be' permitted in the planned
community only when they are on an acreage greater than 49
acres.
This seems to run counter to the philosophy that P-C zone
needs to include small neighborhood shopping areas to serve
the residents. Does this mean the shopping area must be 49
acres. After land is divided the piece for commercial may
well be only 5 acres. Is commercial then prohibited?
3 • Sec t ion 21. 1 6 .070 . 0 1 f#' .. ~.
('i#l'<I'"
This says that all lots must be 7500 square feet~ This defeats
·the P-C concept where a smaller fee lot might be surrounded by
a large commonly owned recreation or community area. This
forces the design into having "gerrymanderad land". In connection
wi th the open space paragraphs how c'an one h.ave 7500 square foot,
lots yet have half of the land public open space?

4. Section 21.16.070.07 (Open Space Requirement)
This section creates an impossibility. It requires th~t at
1 east hal f the 1 an d be 1 eve 1 (1 e sst h an 1 3 1 / 2% g r a de ). ,In
much of southern Carlsbad about 60% of the land now has slope
greater than 13 1/2%. Our measurements on one central 560
acre parcel,~near B~tiqtiitos lagoon showed the following:
0-5% slope
5-10% slope
10-15%,slope
15+ % slope
5.0%
,1 3. 1 % -31.1%,
50.8%
This land is now zoned P-C. In the above calculations about
60.1% of the land is steeper than 13.5% slope. Thus this land
would not be usabl~ for any"'P-C purpose.
The 50% common open space requirement is therefore not only
unrealistic but a physical impossibility unless Carlsbad is
proposing mass grading and leveling of all hills. ,
Furthe r, we do no t un de rs tan d why common open space s h ou HI'-·
b.e 1 eve 1 • The m,o s t be aut i f u 1 an:cr a est h e t i.c po r t ion s () f cit i e s
are usually hills with views, vistas, and topographical variety;
~.g. Malibu, Laguna, La Jolla, Palos Verdes, and San Clemen,te.
Further, it is not even possible to design a conventional
residential subdivision in a P-C zone because of the 75%
"common area requirement"; e~g. privately owned yards are not
common open space.
We, somehow, feel that the P-C zone which we were advised was
designed to encourage originality, beauty and functi~nal
utilization, especially of hillside land, is now being rigidized
and its purpose and benefits have been lost.
5. Section 21.16.080.02, 21.16.080.03
These paragraphs stipulate one year review by the Planning
commission of all P-C zonin~ and plans. This increases the
planning Commission burdens. It further accelerates development
or burdens the landowner to defend his inactivity. Accelerating
deve,lopment w~u1d seem to be the opposite of what is desired.

Subject: Preliminary Draft of Proposed Development PDlicies
(Second Dra{t)
Dear Mr. Dominguez:
Thank you for your letter of September 28, 191~ in which you suggested
input from organizations having concerns relative to the -new policies.
Y~u are to be congratul~ted for endeavoring to improve development
in Carlsbad and for the democratic approach of soliciting opinion
from affected parties. Our comments follow: -
1. -Par~graph IV A (page 2-3] Content of Development Plans.
In_ general the proposed -t6nt~nts-of plans are s~tisfactory
but it is not understobd by whom such plans must be prepared?
Every individual homebuilder? Every apartment builder? Only
subdivision builders?
!t is also noted that specific standards are creepin-g into
the statement as to what "pl ans contain". For example: 116 11
curb ll , "an adequate irrigation system".-
2. Paragraph IV B2 (page 14-161 Climate-Control
Whereas we recognize that these par~graphs are suggestions,
it would appear that in many-cases -the "basic rules" are
really an imposition of -tast~ -~~d -~ref~re~ce and are not
design or policy standards whicK a.city should impose ..
e.g. (a) Do all citizens want summer sun protettion or
l~ts of sun in winter.
(b) Must all citizens orient their houses to North and
South facing.
(c) Must all homeowners have trees whether they want
them or not. (See exhibit, page 15)

(d) Do all people like the same type of outdoor ,livjng?
Some people don't like outdoor living at all. Some ~e~ple
choose apartment living to avoid in~olvement with outdoor
p'rcb le'ms .

ordinance which requires 66 2/3% open space, 75% of which
must be c~mmon open space.

It would appear that there are a number of confl'icti~g ideologies
which need to be resolved.
4. Par~praph IV 84 (page 16) , 'P~iV~cy
Taste 'and preference appear to hav~ crept into this paragraph.
"--a yard which is wide open to public view is a waste of
land as far as outdoor living is concerned" expres'sesone
point of view but one which is not universally shared. This
~ays that no front yard can De used for any outdoor livi~g
purposes?
5. General comment ori Paragraph,IV
Matters of personal taste and prefer~nce should not be imposed
as fundamental policy. Many cities have ~rchitectural review
bo~rds, but such boards are able to examin a project as an
entity.
6. Par~graph V B (page 33) L~ndscaping Standards
This paragraph excepts R~A, R~l and R-2 zones. But it does
"not except P-C and RD-M which may well have si~gle family
dWelli~gs or duplexes.,
Many of the landscaping standards proposed are odious and an
invasion of privacy when applied to residential areas especially
single family or duplex designs.

For example: (a) Must every planter in a private home have
a 6" concrete curb? A veritable concrete jungle. Must parks
have 6" concrete curbs everywhere?
(b) Must all landscaping over 10 feet in.depth
have earth mounding?
(c) Except in rare instances 15 gallon trees
cannot be justified over 5 gallon. Nurserymen have advised
us that a 15 gallon tree c.osts $65-85 in.stal1ed as compare,d
with $21-28 for a 5 gallon size. This is three times as muct.
They have further advised us that becausa of .the moving shock

Does this mean that an individual homeowner must somehow
assume responsibility for a 6011 storm drain or channel.
Normally drainage facilities are accepted by governing agencies,
such as County Flood Control, since such facilities affect
many property owners both upstream and downstream.
8. Par!igraph IV 020 (page 40)

A one year period for expiration of a tentative is not an
adequate time considering the increased detailed approvals

10. General comment on the policies.
Ihereas guiding policies for development are urgently needed,
this dr~ft appears to contain a 1i.tt1e philosophy and much
detail regulation, neither of which are pol·icy.
Specific standards in this instance are' 'n'ot .policy' and 'prevent
intelligent and beneficial municipal design. Policies should
not contain details such as the rate of applyi~g grass seed, '
or how deep. to water trees or the curve radi us on harrow -
h.il1side streets. These are techntcal detail·s to be administerad
a sap pro p ria t e by i n tel 1 i g e n tad min i s t rat 0 r s, not 1 0 c k.e d i. n

I S CITY PLANNING OEPARTMENT. SAN OIEGO, CALIF. 92101.
MULTI-FAMILY ZONE FLOOR AREA RATIO REVISIONS
During recent public hearings on rezoning actions under the,AB 1301
Implementation Progra~, numerous comments have been made concerning problems
inherent in the existing multi-family Floor Area Ratio regulations. As a result
of these comments, the Planning ~ommission directed the Department to re-evaluate
the multi-family Floor Area Ratios and present proposals for possible revision.at
a future workshop.
That the proposed multi-family Floor Area Ratio regulations be distributed
for publ ic comment and a second workshop be held to review the respons~.
ANALYS I ~
The objective of the Department1s study of multi-family zone Floor Area Ratio'
regulations was to relate the concept of Floor Area Ratios to an obtainable density,
with reasonably sized dwelling units for each of the multi-fami;ly zones. In addition,
an attempt was made to provide incentives for decreasing coverage as a trade-off
for additional Floor Area Ratios.
In its research, the Department reviewed recent trends in residential construc-
tion and requests for Floor Area Ratio exemptions. It appears that when the origi.nal
Floor Area Ra~io regulations were formulated, much of the tonstruction in the
multi-family zone was for rental type apartments. At this time, it is evident
-I -3/14/74
that an increasing number of units are being constructed as condominiums and,
as such, generally tend to be larger in floor area than apartment units. Conseq~ently,.
it has been apparent that the density of most of the zones cannot be achieved with
-reasonably sized units under the existing Floor Area Ratio regLJI<;lt·ions.
The following is a general ized description of the proposed ch~nges i.n the
Floor Area Ratio regulations (a detailed description is attached):
-
1. The Floor Area Ratio was increased in each of the mu 1 t i-fain i I Y zones.
increase (excluding par~ing) is as follows:
R-2 .40 to .50
R-2A .60 to .80
R-3 .90 to 1.20
R-3A 1. 20 to 1.80
R-4 1.90. to 2.40
R-4c 3 . .60 to 4.80
2. In addition to the increase in the basic Floor Area Ratio, a parking
The
Floor Area Ratio was added which would be approximately equivalent to an
additional 50% of the basic Floor Area Ratio. (1, 2 and 3 story parking
exemptions from the Floor Area Ratio under the existing regulations
would be deleted).
3. In all zones that permit buildings exceeding a specified number of
stories in height, an incremental Floor Area Ratio bonus of.05 per
story is provided in conjunction with a sliding scale of reduced
lot average.
4. Under the proposed revisions if the parking is placed ~nderground~
an equivalent portion of the area in the parking Floor Area RatiQ
can be used for dwelling unit purposes.
5. If a building has Iisee-through" areas underneath, that portion that
remains an open landscaped area can be added to the Floor Area Ratio
of the building together with an equivalent area as a bonus.
- 2 -
3/14/74
In summary, an attempt has been made to increase the permitted Floor Area
Ratios in conjunction with encQu'raging interior and underground paT,king and
providing incentives to reduce the bulk of the building through compliance
with reduced coverage provisions.
In order to accommodate the revisions, several proposed new definitions
will be required. These' are currently being formulated and will be of a
clarification nature and be presented to the Planning Commission at the next
workshop.

(11) Where, at ground level, a portion of the "tower coverage" is given over to "see-through" I.andscaped open space, that portion ,shall not be
counted as part of the permitted F.A.R. and may be used, together with an additional bonus amount of equivalent area, as additional gross
floor area to the same structure. There shall be. a minimum of 10 feet between grade and the ceiling of the first floor. (Note: At present,
any surface area at ground floor level lying beneath the main structural portion of a building but not enclosed by exterior walls is not
calculated as part of the Floor Area Ratio.)
(12) The proposed revisions to the R-3 ZOne are also proposed for the RV zone. For "guest units or rooms" in the RV zone, the average unit G.F.A.
will be decreased by one-half, based upon two such units per 1,000 square feet of parcel area rather than one standard dwelling unit per
1,000 square ft. of parcel area. (See #8and #9 above.)

PO I <,-S CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT. SAN DIEGO, CALIF. 92101
March 15, 1974
SUBJECT:' FLOOR AREA RATIOS IN THE SINGLE-FAMILY ZONES
BACKGROUND
The Zoning Division is experiencing repeated difficulties in some of the
-j property owners' wish to construct two-story dwelling,
I R-I zones as a result of
!Jnits. Floor Area Ratios were 6riginal Iy includeq in the R-l zones in 1967.
I
They were established by using the average gross floor area in each single-
I ,
fam·ily residence (by individual,R-l zone) completed in 1967.
In May, 1973, the figures ~ere reviewed in light of present land costs and
I
development trends and were fouhd to be inappropriate. In several zones (R-I-IO,
R-I-15, R-I-20, R-I-40) the existing Floor Area Ratios do not permit a lot to
be developed to meet the maximum coverage provisions.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department recommends that the proposed revision of Floor Area Ratio
regulations for the R-l zones to be distributed for public comment.
ANALYSIS
Several of the present Floor Area Ratios do not allow lots to be developed
to meet maximum coverage. For example, in the R-I-IO zone the permitted lot
coverage is 40 percent. However, the permitted Floor Area Ratio is only 0.35:;
which means that on a 10,000 square-foot lot a one-story building cou'lI;1 only
cover 35 percent of the lot, or 500 square feet less than permitted by the
maximum coverage provision.
-I -
• •
The problem can be solved by allowing the Floor Area Ratlos to exceed
the maximum coverage by 50 percent to permit a pot~ntial ·of 1-1/2 stories
for each ,new single-family residence, as illustrated in t.he following table:
