APPLIC.ON COMPLETE DATE: MARCH 16. 1992 SfAFF REPORT ® DATE: APRIL 1, 1992 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: MP 177(F) -AVIARA BUILDING HEIGHf -Request for a determination on the processing of a master plan amendment to change the maximum building heights in two single family neighborhoods. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission determine the proposed master plan amendment to be minor in nature and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3379, APPROVING MP 177(F), based on the findings detailed below. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND Aviara Land Associates is requesting an amendment to the existing Aviara Master Plan text (MP 177) to change the maximum building heights allowed in Planning Areas 13 and 28. The original building height maximums for these single family neighborhoods were 25 feet and 18 feet, respectively, as measured to the mid-point of the roof. Since the original master plan (MP 177) was approved, however, the City-wide building height measuring point has changed from the mid-point of the roof to the peak. This change in building height definition has caused the single family homes in Aviara's Planning Areas 13 and 28 to potentially lose up to seven feet of building height for a home with a typical roof pitch of 5/12. Other Planning Areas in the Aviara Master Plan have already incorporated building height standards based on measurements from the peak of the roof. In these cases, 22 feet has been the accepted maximum building height for one story homes and 30 feet for two story homes. As shown in the revised master plan text (Attachment "A", dated April 1, 1992), the proposed redefinitions for maximum building height in Planning Areas 13 and 28 are proposed to be 22 feet and 30 feet in keeping with the remainder of the Master Plan Area. This proposal was placed on the Planning Commission agenda because Section 21.38.120 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires that a master plan amendment request be presented to the Planning Commission to determine the magnitude of the request. If the Commission determines the master plan amendment to be minor in nature, then the request can be approved without a public hearing. . , MP 177(F) -AVIARA BUI,ING HElGHT APRIL 1, 1992 PAGE 2 III. ANALYSIS 1. Can the proposed Master Plan Amendment be considered minor in nature, according to the criteria in Section 21.38.120 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code? 2. Are the proposed building height redefinitions consistent with the intent of the recently adopted single family building height restrictions? DISCUSSION 1. Magnitude of Master Plan Amendment According to Section 21.38.120 of the Zoning Ordinance, a minor master plan amendment "shall not change the densities, or the boundaries of the property or involve an addition of a new use or group of uses not shown on the original master plan or the rearrangement of uses within the master plan". The proposed master plan amendment involves only an adjustment to an existing development standard to provide consistency with the remainder of the City. As stated previously, the proposed allowable building height for the two Aviara Planning Areas is not significantly different from the allowable height originally approved through MP 177. Considering that this amendment proposal meets the criteria in Section 21.38.120 and does not significantly change the allowable building height, the master plan amendment is minor in nature. 2. Consistency with New Building Height Restrictions The newly adopted building height restrictions for Carlsbad limit homes in most R-1 zones to two stories and 30 feet maxmimum height, as measured to the peak of the roof. The proposed master plan amendment would allow the two story homes in Planning Area 13 to reach 30 feet in height, to the peak of the roof, and the one story homes in Planning Area 28 to reach 22 feet in height, also to the peak of the roof. Since both of these Planning Areas are required to conform to the development standards of the R-1 zone, and no building will be allowed to exceed the existing City-wide single family height maximum of 30 feet, the proposed amendment is consistent with the City's new building height restrictions. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Since the proposed building height redefinitions are a minor alteration in development limitations and they do not result in changes in land use or density, the Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt from environmental review per Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines. MP 177(F) -AVIARA BU.ING HEIGHT APRIL 1, 1992 PAGE3 SUMMARY • Given that the proposed master plan amendment does not significantly change the development standards of the affected Planning Areas and is consistent with current building height limitations, staff recommends approval of MP 177(F).
