Area 26(S) of Aviara Phase 11. The tentative map includes 95 single family residential lots on minimum 7,: sq. ft. lot areas. Three open space lots are also proposed over the 45.8 acre site. The area proposed for finish grading has been previously graded per subdivision map (3' 89-37. encroachment into previously designated open space areas are proposed by the project. It is located in an 2 anticipated for residential development per the City's General Plan, and the Local Coastal Program for affected area. For this environmental analysis, staff conducted several field trips to the subject property and reviewed Pacific Rim Country Club and Resort Master Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR 83-2(A)) and Mitigated Negative Declaration for Aviara Phase 11 Master Tentative Map which already covered this prop( In that: (1) the proposed project site has already been reviewed under the Master Plan EIR 83-2(A) ant Mitigated Negative Declaration for Aviara Phase 11 (CT 89-37), (2) as designed, the project implemenl recommended mitigation measures of EIR 83-2(A) and the Phase I1 Mitigated Negative Declaration, ant the project will preserve in open space the previously deed restricted coastal habitat areas, no environmc impacts are anticipated. There were no public comments received in response to the Notice for a Neg Declaration. Physical Environment 1. The project is a previously graded site *containing no unstable earth conditions as discussed in the Report for CT 89-37. 2. Relatively minor topographic changes will result from the project. Only 28,200 cubic yards of bal earthwork are proposed. This equates to approximately 615 cu/yds of soil movement per gross Such minor topographic changes are not considered to be significant. 3. Drainage and erosion control facilities will be incorporated into the project to adequately r potential soil erosion impacts. A downstream permanent desiltation basin has been construc Planning Area 28. 4. Potential erosion impacts to Batiquitos Lagoon will be adequately mitigated as discussed in re: #3 above. " 5. Construction emission and minor hgitive dust generation impacts associated with project grad: considered short term and insignificant. Dust generation can be adequately controlled through W; operations. Air quality impacts associated with future development of housing upon this are2 considered significant in itself. Long term full mitigation of regional air quality impacts will req& dependence upon the automobile be reduced regionally and statewide. 6. In that no structural development is proposed at this time, impacts to air movement are not antic Air quality impacts from dust generation can be adequately controlled through watering opt during project grading. -6- ._ w w -DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL, EVALUATION cont'd 7. This project will not change the course or flow of water as no streams are located in the immedia and all drainage waters will be handled by proposed drainage facilities. 8. Development of this project (tentative map grading and road construction) will create imp surfaces which would reduce absorption rates and incrementally increase runoff velocities. Ha to accommodate this increased runoff, drainage facilities will be incorporated into this projc future residential development upon the site, thereby mitigating this concern. 9. No inordinate depletion of any natural resources is anticipated by the subdivision, gradir construction of infrastmcture proposed by this project. 10. No significant impact as discussed in #9 above. 11. A thorough archaeological testing of the area was conducted in 1987 as part of EIR 83-2(1 prehistorically or historically significant sites were discovered within the project area. An archac and a paleontological expert will be present during grading to monitor operations in an e preserve any uncovered objects. 12. Surface disturbance and grading for the project will not encroach into any native habitat area 2 not affect the onsite coastal deed restricted biological areas. 13. No impacts to the above mentioned coastal deed restricted areas are anticipated in that landscaping proposed adjacent to this habitat shall be required to be compatible and non-inv; 14. As stipulated in the Master Plan, the conversion of agricultural lands shall be permitted upon p of agricultural conversion fees. In accordance, the project applicant has already paid to tk Coastal Conservancy agricultural mitigation fees required for the development of the project ! 15. As discussed in #12 above, the previously deed restricted coastal sage habitat will be maint; open space. Accordingly, no significant impacts to habitat or species are anticipated. 16. No new animal species or migration barrier will occur as a result of the project, as further d in #12 above. Human Environment " 17. Development of this project will be consistent with the General,Plan, Master Plan 177 and tk I LCP. The land uses proposed will be internally compatible as well as being compatible with i uses. 18. As discussed in the Zone 19 Local Facilities Management Plan, with the. payment of all fees implementation of all improvement conditions (i.e. upgrading of the Batiquitos sewer pump construction of Alga Road and Batiquitos Drive), all public facilities and services will be ava meet the demands of the future development of 95 single family residences proposed on the pro No adverse impacts should result. -7- 0 W ,I!XUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION cont'd 9. Although this Tentative Map does not propose any actual residential development, any subseque dwelling unit construction onsite shall not be permitted until the Batiquitos Sewer Pump Station upgraded. 0. Construction of the project (grading and road development) may result in minor short term insignific; construction noise impacts upon surrounding existing and proposed residences. Otherwise, the futl residential uses on,the subject property will be acoustically compatible with surrounding existing 2 future residential uses. No traffic noise impacts from surrounding streets are anticipated. .I. Future lighting utilized onsite d be directed so as to not impact adjacent future views. 32. !3. !4. !5. !6. !7. 28. !9. 30. 31. 32. Because this is a residential project, it will not involve a significant risk of an explosion or the rele of hazardous substances. The proposed density of the project results in 2.07 ddac. This is in compliance with the Master P1 anticipated 2.35 du/ac. The project will provide additional housing units to meet existing demand. A total of 950 average daily vehicle trips will be generated by the project which will not significa impact the circulation system as discussed in EIR 83-2(A) and LFMP 19. The demand for parking facilities created by this project will be satisfied onsite. Two garage spaces be provided for each unit and adequate on street guest parking will be provided throughout the prc The additional 950 ADT generated by the project will be accommodated by the existing and pla circulation network. This minor increase in traffic is not considered significant. The'project site is outside of the Airport Influence Area for Palomar Airport. The project, as designed, will not cause conflicts at its intersections withBatiquitos Drive. The project will not interfere with emergency response plans. Manufactured slopes created through the already approved Phase I1 mass grading (which include site) will be fully lan-&aped consistent with approved plans. Otherwise, the finish grading (2t cubic yards) of the subject property would not result in a visual impact. The project will have no effect whatsoever on existing recreational opportunities. -8- " a w ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: " a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative. a) The project scale, 95 residential lots, is not of a size where phased development wo1 beneficial. I b) The project has been designed consistent with the Aviara Master Plan and all City ordinance open space areas are avoided. c) The project is designed at slightly less scale (density) than allowed by the Master Plan for tht d) The project is in conformance with the City's General Plan and the Master Plan. Alternat would require amendment of these documents. e) The proposed project involves subdivision and grading of the site only. Development of tl will occur only if facilities are guaranteed. f) The proposed project is the envkonmentdy preferred project for the site. g) The "no project" alternative is not in conformance with the General Plan/Master Plan desig for the site, therefore, it is not environmentally preferable.

RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3304 APPROVING the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3305 APPROVING CT 90-36, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. 11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND This project is a Tentative Tract Map to create 99 single fwy residential lots (minimum 7500 SF) and 3 open space lots (21.82 acres) upon the southern half of Planning Area 26 of the Aviara Master Plan. Planning Area 26(S) is located at the northeast comer of the intersection of Batiquitos Drive and Kestral Drive. The 47 acre subject property is zoned PC and is under a combination General Plan designation of RLM/RM/OS/RC/N. The project .would have a density of 2.10 du/ac. This density is consistent with the Planning Areas maximum permitted density of 2.35 du/ac. The property is also located within the Coastal Zone (Mello I and East Batiquitos Lagoon) and will require a Coastal Pennit issued by the California Coastal Commission. As shown on Exhibit "B" the project would be accessed via Kestral Drive, which is located along the northern perimeter of the property. Two 60 foot wide Local Streets (Black Swan Lane and Kingbird Terrace) would be constructed to intersect with Kestral Drive, to provide access to the project's residential lots. The project has been designed to double load all project residential lots along the internal cul-de-sac street system. Proposed project grading includes 28,200 cubic yards of cut and fill to be balanced onsite. This minor amount of grading is regarded as finish grading for this site which is in the process of being graded consistent with the previously approved Aviara Phase I1 tentative map (CT 89-37). @ CT 90-36 AVIARA P LP ..JING AREA 26 0 OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 2 This project proposes no encroachment into the previously Coastal Commission deej restricted open space lots approved through the Aviara Phase I1 Master Tentative Mag These open space lots are vegetated with Coastal Sage Scrub vegetation. The project site is surrounded by future single family residential to the north (PA 26N South (PA 271, and west (PA 29 and 30), and by the Aviara Golf Course to the east. Since the project is not proposing structures at this time, a Site Development Plan will b required to be processed subsequent to the development of the planning area. rn. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1. Does the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map satisfy all requirements of the Zoninj " \ Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and the State Map Act? 2. Is the design of the proposed subdivision consistent with the intent o Master Plan 177? 3. Does the proposed project grading substantially comply with the mass gradin4 approved through the Aviara Phase 11 Master Tentative Map (CT 89-37)? 4. , Is the proposed project in compliance with the Mello I and East Batiquitos Lagoor Local Coastal Programs? 5. Is the proposed project consistent with the Zone 19 Local Facility Managemen Plan? DISCUSSION The 47 acre, 102 Lot Tentative Map for Planning Area 26(S) satisfies all requirements 01 the R-1-7500 zone, Carlsbad's Subdivision Ordinance and the State Map Act. All proposec residential lots will front on publicly dedicated streets and meet the minimum developmenl standards of the R-1-7500 zone. Specifically, all lots are: 1. A minimum of 7500 square feet in area; 2. A minimum of 60 feet in width; 3. A minimum of 90 feet in depth; and 4. Do not exceed a depth to width ratio of 3:l. All lots have also been designed to drain adequately. W CT 90-36 AVlARA PLA\LdING AREA 26 w OCI'OBER 16,1991 PAGE 3 Tentative Map CT 90-36 has also been designed to be consistent with the concept plan for Planning Area 26, as identified in Master Plan 177. The southwest comer boundary of Planning Area 26(S) has been relocated southward into Planrling Area 27. This minor amendment is a consequence of the redesign of the internal sweet system (Black Swan Lane) as a looped cul-de-sac, The original concept plan for Planning Area 26(S) identified Black Swan, Lane as a through connection to Planning Area 27 to the south. This street redesign was implemented to mitigate potential traffic nuisance impacts to' Planning Area 27. The grading for the project (28,200 cu. yds. or 600 cu. yds./acre) substantially complies with the grading approved through the p;viara Phase 11 Master Tentative Map. This minor amount of grading is necessary to create internal streets and finished residential lots. This project is in compliance with all policies of the Mello I and East Batiquitos Local Coastal Programs as implemented through Master Plan 177. Specifically, all portions of the property which were placed under open space deed restriction by the California Coastal Commission (Lot 48, 50, and 102) are being preserved in open space. The project is located in Local Facilities Management Zone 19 in the southwest quadrant. At the project dwelling unit count (99 units) the proposed project is 11 dwelling units below that allowed per Local Facilities Management Zone 19. All public facilities and services will be available to senre the project. The impact on public facilities created by the proposed project, and compliance with adopted performance standards are summarized below: Parks CT 90-36 AvlARA PdING AREA 26 m OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 4 Iv. ENVLRONMENTALREVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on June 20, 1.991. The environmental analysis, along with the field checks by stalff, identified that because: (1) the project site has already been reviewed with the Aviara Master Plan EIR .(83-2(A) and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Aviara Phase I1 Tentative Map (a 89-37), (2) as designed, the project implements all recommended mitigation measures of these two environmental documents, and, (3) the project preserves in open space all previously deed restricted coastal habitat areas, no environmental impacts are anticipated. There were no public comments received in response to the Notice for a Negative Declaration. " ATTACHMENTS 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3304 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3305 3.

X - X - - -5- w DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION ” w The proposed project involves the finish grading (28,200 cubic yards) of a previously mass-graded construction of residential streets, drainage and other infrastructure, and tentative subdivision of Pla: Area 26(S) of Aviara Phase 11. The tentative map includes 95 single family residential lots on minimum ’ sq. ft. lot areas. Three open space lots are also proposed over the 45.8 acre site. The area proposed for finish grading has been previously graded per stabdivision map a 89-37 encroachment into previously designated open space areas are proposed by the project. It is located in 3 anticipated for residential development per the City‘s General Plan, and the Local Coastal Program fi affected area. For this environmental analysis, staff conducted several field trips to the subject property and reyiewf Pacific Rim Country Club and Resort Master Plan? Environmental Impact Report (EIR 83-2(A)) an Mitigated Negative Declaration for Aviara Phase I1 Master Tentative Map which already covered this pro In that: (1) the proposed project site has already been reviewed &der the Master Plan EIR 83-2(A) a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Aviara Phase I1 (CT 89-37), (2) as designed, the project impleme~ recommended mitigation measures of EIR 83-2(A) and the Phase I1 Mitigated Negative Declaration, ar the project will preserve in open space the previously deed restricted coastal habitat areas, no environn impacts are anticipated. There were no public comments received in respo:nse to the Notice for a Ne: Declaration. Physical Environment 1. The project is a previously graded site containing no unstable earth conditions as discussed in thr Report for CT 89-37. 2. Relatively minor topographic changes will result from the project. Only 28,200 cubic yards of bal earthwork are proposed. This equates to approximately 615 cdyds of soil movement per gross Such minor topographic changes are not considered to be significant. 3. Drainage and erosion control facilities will be incorporated into the project PO adequately x potential soil erosion impacts. A downstream permanent desiltation basin has been construc Planning Area 28. 4. Potential erosion impacts to Batiquitos Lagoon will be adequately mitigated as discussed in res #3 above. 5. Construction emission and minor fugitive dust generation impacts associated with project gradi considered short term and insignificant. Dust generation can be adequately controlled through wa operations. Air quality impacts associated with future development of housing upon this area considered significant in itself. Long term full mitigation of regional air quality impacts will requir dependence upon the automobile be reduced regionally and statewid.e. 6. In that no structural development is proposed at this time, impacts to air movement are not antici] Air quality impacts from dust generation can be adequately controlled through watering oper during project grading. -6- W W " )ISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION cont'd 7. This project will not change the course or flow of water as no streams are located in the immediate : and all drainage waters will be handled by proposed drainage facilities. 9. Development of this project (tentative map grading and road constnzction) will create impervj surfaces which would reduce absorption rates and incrementally increase runoff velocities. Howe to accommodate this increased runoff, drainage facilities will be incovorated into this project future residential development upon the site, thereby mitigating this concern. 9. No inordinate depletion of any natural resources is anticipated by .the subdivision, grading, construction of infrastructure proposed by this project. 0. No significant impact as discussed in #9 above. 1. A thorough archaeological testing of the area was conducted in 1987 as part of EIR 83-2(A). prehistorically or historically significant sites were discovered within the project area. An archaeolc and a paleontological expert will be present during grading to monitor operations in an effor preserve any uncovered objects. 2. Surface disturbance and grading for the project will not encroach into any native habitat area and not affect the onsite coastal deed restricted biological areas. 3. No impacts to the above mentioned coastal deed restricted areas are anticipated in that prc landscaping proposed adjacent to this habitat shall be required to be compatible and non-invasiv, 4. As stipulated hi the Master Plan, the conversion of agricultural lands sh'all be permitted upon pap of agricultural conversion fees. In accordance, the project applicant has already paid to the S Coastal Conservancy agricultural mitigation fees required for the development of the project site. 5. As discussed in #12 above, the previously deed restricted coastal sage habitat will be maintaine open space. Accordingly, no significant impacts to habitat or species are anticipated. 6. No new animal species or migration barrier will occur as a result of the project, as further discu in #12 above. 4uman Environment 7. Development of this project will be consistent with the General.Plan, Master Plan 177 and the M I LCP. The land uses proposed will be internally compatible as well as king Compatible with adjal uses. 8. As discussed in the Zone 19 Local Facilities Management Plan, with the payment of all fees and implementation of all improvement conditions (i.e. upgrading of the Batiquitos sewer pump stat construction of Alga Road and Batiquitos Drive), all public facilities and services will be availabl meet the demands of the future development of 95 single family residences proposed on the project No adverse impacts should result. -7- w w DSCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION cont'd 19. Although this Tentative Map does not propose any actual residential development, any subsel dwelling unit construction onsite shall not be permitted until the Batiquitos sewer Pump Stat upgraded. .- 20. Construction of the project (grading and road development) may result in minor short term hi@ construction noise impacts upon surrounding existing and proposed residences, Otherwise, he f residential uses on the subject property will be acoustically compatible with surrounding exis&, future residential uses. No traffic noise impacts from swounding streets are anticipated. . 21. Future lighting utilized onsite will be directed so as to not impact adjacent future views. 22. Because this is a residential project, it will not involve a significant risk of an explosion or the re of hazardous substances. 23. The proposed density of the project results in 2.07 ddac. This is in campliance with the Master 1 anticipated 2.35 du/ac. 24. The project will provide additional housing units to meet existing dernand. 25. A total of 950 average daily vehicle trips will be generated by the project which will not si&c impact the circulation system as discussed in EIR 83-2(A) and LFMP '19. 26. The demand for parking facilities created by this project will be satisfied onsite. Two garage space! be provided for each unit and adequate on street guest parking will be provided throughout the prc 27. The additional 950-ADT generated by the project will be accommodarted by the existing and pla circulation network. This minor increase in traffic is not considered significant. 28. The project site is outside of the Airport Influence Area for Palomar Airport. 29. The project, as designed, will not cause conflicts at its intersections with Batiquitos Drive. 30. The project will not interfere with emergency response plans. 31. Manufactured slopes created through the already approved Phase II mass grading (which includes site) will be fully landscaped consistent with approved plans. Otheritrise, the finish grading (28 cubic yards) of the subject property would not result in a visual, impact. 32. The project will have no effect whatsoever on existing recreational opportunities. -8- w w ahLysrs OF WLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH& a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative. a) The project scale, 95 residential lots, is not of a size where phased development would beneficial. b) The project has been designed consistent with the Aviara Master Plan and all City ordinances. open space areas are avoided. c) The project is designed at slightly less scale (density) than allowed by the Master Plan for the a d) The project is in conformance with the City's General Plan and the Master Plan.

For the record, Vice-chairman Erwin stated that he had received a letter from Paul J. Klukas, Aviara, dated October 10, 1991 which will be on file with the minutes in the Planning Department. Chris DeCerbo,'Senior Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that the proposed project is a request for a Tentative Map for Planning Area 26 South, of the Aviara Master Plan. Planning Area 26 South is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Batiquitos Drive and Kestral Drive. The project site is surrounded by future single family residential to the north, south, and west, and the Aviara Golf Course to the east. The Tentative Map includes 99 single family residential lots (7500 s.f.) and three open space lots (21.82 acres) over the 47 acre planning area. The open space lots are vegetated with coastal sage scrub and are under deed restriction to the California Coastal Commission. The project's density is 2.1 du/ac which is well within the maximum permitted site density of 2.35. The proposed project grading is 600 cubic yards per acre to be balanced onsite. This minor amount of grading is necessary to create internal streets and finished residential lots. The grading substantially complies with the grading already approved through the Aviara Phase I1 Master Tentative Map, of which this subdivision is a part. In that this project i6 not proponing any structures at thie time, a future Site development plan shall be required to be processed by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to any residential developnent. Staff analysis of the project focused on the project's compliance with all developnent standards and requirements of .the Aviara Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and the State Map Act. The project i6 consistent with the LFMP Zone 19, the underlying Mello I, and the East Batiquitoa Local Coastal Program. The project grading complies with the grading approved through the Aviara Phase I1 Master Tentative Map. Therefore, staff recommends approval. Mr. DeCerbo commented on the letter dated October 10, 1991 from the Aviara Land Associates. The letter addresses Condition #32 of Resolution No. 3305. The condition r- i- w W MINUTES October 16, 1991 \$$ B 9& PLANNING COMMISSION Page 6 COMMISSIONERS % fj, specifies that no retaining walls greater than 2' within the front or side yard setback shall be permitted or approved on any subsequent site development plan to be processed on this property. The applicant has requested that the condition be revised to not allow any retaining walls unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission during the subsequent eite development review. The letter is correct in that the primary purpose for placing this condition on the tentative map is to alert future merchant builders oflthis property that the use of retaining walls for purposes of increasing the developable area of lots in the neighborhood is discouraged. Staff's justification for this condition is that the majority of the lots have a minimum width of 60'. In order to provide views from these lots, they have been stepped 3-5' between adjacent lots. An elevation difference of 5' between lots would reduce the pad area by 10' if there is a 2:l slope between lots. In addition, a structure developed on a lot with this slope would be required to be set back 5' from the slope toe for drainage purposes as well as meet the minimum 6' side yard setbacks on the other side of the lot. This leaves only 39' of the lot left for the structure. By allowing a 2' retaining wall which could be notched into the manufactured slope, it would enable a structure of 43' wide. The typical Aviara home is 40'. The benefits of limiting retaining walls to 2' would be that the streetscape would be enhanced and the height of the wall would not be as visible. In addition, it could more easily be landscaped with ground cover. The costs of deferring this decision on retaining walls until a site development plan is processed is that a future merchant builder may purchase the property with unreasonable expectations regarding the size of house the lots will accommodate. This would necessitate staff having to renegotiate the problem. Another alternative. would be to redesigmthe project and widen the lots beyond the 60' width. Vice-chairman Erwin opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak. Larry Clemens, Hillman Properties, 2011 Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he is concerned about the removal of retaining walls higher than 2 ft. from Planning Area 26(S). He feels it will set a precedent throughout the Aviara project. He would like the ' option for the Planning Commission to approve a higher wall if a builder desires it. Hillman Properties is not the builder. He feels the height of the wall should be between the builder and the Planning Commission. He is more concerned about the quality of the finished product and does not want to hinder the architectural design by prohibiting a wall that is higher than 2'. Mr. Clemens believes that the approval or disapproval of a retaining or decorative wall should be done in conjunction with the product design. He requested the Comission's consideration. . Commissioner Schlehuber inquired if Mr. Clemens found an+hing objectionable in Mr. DeCerbo's comnts. He replied that one of the comments referred to putting the restriction on at this point in order to protect the streetscape. Since this is only the engineering phase, there is no streetscape to protect. Mr. Clemens referred to Planning Area 8 where a 40' home is located on a 6,000 s.f. lot. The home hae been very well received and the streetscape ie very beautiful. The proportions in Planning Area 8 are very similar to Planning Area 26(S). His major I- 8 .. - MINUTEIS d' \ \\ r October 16, 1991 PLANNING COMXISSION Page 7 COMMISSIO concern is that sometimes there are special circumstances which may require a higher wall. He feels that restrictions regarding walls and streetscape should be made at the time of the site design because then you have a visual product to work with. Commissioner Schramm inquired if Mr. Clemens would coneider dropping four unit8 to allow lot footagg. He replied that he could not make that decision at this point because the product has not yet been designed. It should be left up to the Planning Commission and the developer. I Commissioner Schramm inquired if we go with the condition as it is written, can the 2' wall be changed later when we see a product design. Ron Ball, Assistant City Attorney, replied that if this condition becomes a note on the final map, it cannot be changed without an amendment to the final map. Normally what is done is to record a notice of issuance of permit. The builder would be taking it subject to all of the conditions that are approved tonight. Mr. Ball feels it is unusual and would be difficult to bind future Planning Commissions. The 2' wall can be approved tonight but his recommendation would be to leave the note off the final map. It would simply be a matter of revising Condition C32 to delete the reference to the note on the final map as well as the portion of the sentence which states that no subsequent site development plan processed on this property.! Condition 132 would then read: "...This project is approved subject to the condition that no retaining walls greater than 2 feet in height within the front or sideyard setback areas shall be prmitted." Vice-chairman Erwin inquired if Mr. Billman is the only person who owns in excess of 10%. Mr. Clemens replied that was correct. Paul Klukas, Planner for Hillman Properties,.2011 Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad, addressed the commission and stated that he is very concerned about the precedent being set. The Master Plan was planned as a Mediterranean hillside cornunity and this envisions retaining walls. He is concerned that the house size is now being dictated in Aviara and, to his knowledge, thie has never before been done in Carlsbad. Aviara is not a PUD; it is a standard subdivision, and it meets all of the requirements. He is concerned that this requirement is being dictated in the engineering phase. He feels it is backwards planning. Cormfssioncr Schlehuber inquired if staff plans to put this condition on all future plans. Chris necarbo, Senior Planner, replied that Aviara has had the luxury of processing a master grading plan and tentative map which shows the mass grading as well as the finish grading. Staff will not receive a picture of the final project until the very end. He feels that the incremental approach which Aviara is using tends to erode the quality that was originally envisioned. Therefore, staff would probably put this condition on all projects with similar lot conditions. Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, commented that Area 26(S) may be somewhat unique but staff has also watched this happen gradually to the other hillside areas in the City. It tends to create a problem on aide yard setbacks and fence heights because you end up with a 5' wall and a 6' fence on top of it. He does not feel this condition is as much a precedent as it is a notice to the developer to carefully gage the stepping down on fill slopes. I 1 .- . +- - W W MINUTES $ 7%, October 16, 1991 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 8 COMMISSIONERS % 6 Commissioner Hall inquired where a 5' wall and a 6' fence has been placed in Aviara. Mr. Wayne replied that this was done in the Republic development. Paul Klukas continued his comments and stated that he would like to request a change to Condition 140 to add the words "Lot 5" on line 2 after CT 89-37 and before the word shall. He believes that this has been approved by the City Engineer. As far as the Republic development goes, Mr. Klukas stated that Republic came in after the PUD/Site Development Plan process hat been completed. lie felt that was wrong. The Planning Commission had already approved the project when Republic tried to make their changes because things wouldn't fit. The change Mr. Klukas is recommending to Condition 132 of tonight's project should solve that problem because it would require retaining walls to be shown on the Site Development Plan. There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Vice-chairman Erwin declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Commissioner Schlehuber requested staff to comment on Mr. Klukas' comments regarding Republic. Robert Green, Principal Planner, replied that the Republic problem is what staff is attempting to avoid with the wording in Condition 132. Anyone purchasing a site is fully aware up front what they are faced with. Staff doesn't want to be put in the position of having to renegotiate the matter with the builder. If Aviara doesn't plan to put up retaining walls higher than 2' there should be no problem with the wording of the condition. This particular subdivision is very tight and staff is very concerned that there will be problems in the future. Commissioner Schlehuber reiterated Mr. Klukas' recommended wording which states that "...no retaining walls within the front or eideyard setbacks shall be permitted unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission during the Site Developaent Plan review." Mr. Green replied that the comment "unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission'' opens up the option for a builder to propose a retaining wall. Commissioner Schlehuber feels that Mr. Klukas' reconmendation is more strict because it states that "no retaining walls...shall be permitted...". Commissioner Hall understands staff's thinking about putting future builders on notice. However, he would prefer wording which would allow the Planning Commission to approve a retaining wall at a later date. Ron Ball, Assistant City Attorney, stated that, in his opinion, "no walls unless apgiroved by the Planning Commission" would be more restrictive than allowing a 2' retaining wall. Vice-chairman Erwin inquired if Item #19 on page 8 of the EIR assessment should be stated as a condition. Chris DeCerbo, Senior Planner, replied that Condition 14 of Resolution NO. 3305 says the same thing. The final map cannot be approved until the City Council can find that adequate sewer service is available. The applicant indicated that' he is aware of this condition regarding sewer service. y$ 4 4': '. rc nB Y' w MINUTE^ October 16, 1991 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 9 COMMlSSlO Vice-chairman Erwin inquired if adding Lot IS to Condition 140 is acceptable to staff. Bob Wojcik, Principal Engineer, replied that it is acceptable to Engineering. Ron Ball, Assistant City Attorney, replied that it is acceptable to him. Vice-chairman Ewin asked staff to respond to the discussion regarding the wording of Condition #32. Robert Green, Principal Planner, replied that staff would like the most restrictive wording possible. Ron Ball, Assistant City'Attorney, recommended that Condition #32 read as follows: "This project currently shows no retaining walls. The project is approved subject to the condition that no retaining walls shall be permitted unless specifically approved by the Planning Comiss+on as part of the Site Development Plan process." Commissioner SchSehuber would prefer the original staff recommendation which reads "...no retaining walls greater than 2' in height within the front or eideyard setback areas shall be permitted." He would like a period after the word "permitted" and the verbiage past that stricken. Vice-chairman Erwin would prefer the wording which states that no retaining walls shall be permitted without approval. He can also accept the change to Condition 140 as suggested by Mr. Klukas. Comisaioner Schranmr inquired which version of Condition #32 would be the most flexible for staff. Mr. Green stated that staff would prefer to restrict retaining walls completely, however they could accept either version. The intent is to regulate the retaining walls. Commissioner Noble can agree with both arguments. He believes that no retaining walls would probably be the best version because the applicant is free to request what he wants at a later date. Mr. Ball suggested that the Comission might want to consider separating out Condition #32 and making two mot iona . Vice-chairman Erwin made a motion to accept Condition #32 as follows: "This project currently shows no retaining Walls.
