AGENDA OF: October 4, 2006 l1emNo. 8 Application complete date: N/A Project Planner: Christer Westman Project Engineer: N/A SUBJECT: DI 06-01 -BRESSI LANDSCAPE AT P ARfECR -Discussion of the landscape improvements for Bressi Ranch at the southeast corner of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real in Local Facilities 11anagement Zone 17. I. RECOl\fl\fENDATION That the Planning Commission review the information regarding the existing grading and landscape improvement plans for the southeast comer of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real and determine if the issue should be referred to the City Council. ll. INTRODUCTION On JuIy 19, 1006, the Planning Commission requested that staff provide them information related to the landscape improvements at the southeast corner of EI Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. ID. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND At the regularly scheduled June 5, 2002 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission approved the Bressi Ranch 1'1aster Tentative 11ap CT 00-06. Planning Commission Resolution No. 5206 (attached) included condition No. 14 requiring the Owner/Applicant, Lennar Bressi Ranch Venture, LLC, to submit and obtain Planning Director approval of a Final Landscape and Irrigation Plan showing conformance with the approved Preliminary Landscape Plan and the City's Landscape Manual. Per the condition, the Deyeloper is also obligated to construct and install all landscaping as shown on the approved Final Landscape Plans, and maintain all landscaping in a healthy and thriving condition, free from weeds, trash and debris. Final Landscape plans for all of the non-residential slopes in the Bressi Ranch were approved by the Planning Director on February 3, 2005. The approved landscape improvements for the southeast corner of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real are illustrated on the attached Exhibits A and B. Since then, the City's reclaimed water pump station (CUP 04-16) was approved at the southeast comer of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real which included a change to the slope grades previously approved per CT 00-06 (See attached photos, Exhibits D and E). Therefore, at a minimum, the original landscape plan approved for the corner must be modified to reflect the current slope configuration. DI 06-01 -BRESSI LANDSCAPE AT PARJECR October 4, 2006 Page 2 Changes to a Final Landscape Plan can be made through a "construction change" approved by the Planning Director. Plans are submitted to the City and fees are charged on a per-sheet basis. The changes are assessed for consistency v·:ith the City Landscape Manual and any applicable Specific or Master Plan. The Developer met ,,;ith the City to discuss design concepts for signage at the southeast corner of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real in early June, 2006. The Developer's concept was to incorporate curving stone walls with shrub and tree planting to establish the corner as an entrance to the Bressi Ranch. Pursuant to the procedure outlined, Sares-Reges has submitted plans, attached as Exhibits F-G, for the re-landscaping of the corner. The proposed plan includes both landscape materials as well as retaining walls \\'ith stone veneers and a driveable grassy surface for utility vehicles access. The addition of signage to the southcast corner of Palomar Airport Road and EI Camino Real will require approval of a Sign Program and a Sign Permit by the Planning Director. In this case, a Sign Program will need to be consistent with the concepts approved for signage in the Bressi Ranch Master Plan. The Brcssi Ranch Master Plan sign concept for the corner of Palomar Airport Road and EI Camino Real is illustrated on Exhibit "C". Staff is confident that the ultimate improvements at the southeast corner of Palomar Airport Road and EI Camino Real will address the Planning Commission's concerns regarding aesthetics at this prominent corner.

Prior to the issuance of a grading permit or building permit, whichever occurs :first, Developer shall submit to the City Engineer proof that a Notice of Intent for the start of work has been submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board. 42. This project requires off site grading. No grading for private improvements shall occur outside the limits of this approval unless Developer obtains, records and submits a recorded copy to the City Engineer a grading or slope easement or agreement from the owners of the affected properties. If Developer is unable to obtain the grading or slope easement, or agreement, no grading permit will be issued. In that case Developer must either apply for and obtain an amendment of this approval or modify the plans so grading will not occur outside the project and apply for and obtain a finding of substantial conformance from both the City Engineer and Planning Director. The boundary condition along the Villages of La Costa project will require blending of slopes and in some cases deletion of opposing slopes. SubstaDtial cODformance for both projects can be supported in this case, when it reduces grading or wheD the proposed change provides for a better fit of terrain cODdition for either project.

I was surprised to receive the notification as we have not made any recent submittals that require a Planning Commission action. Christer Westman subsequently explained that the Planning Commission had simply requested more information about the final landscape improvements that were planned for the corner of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. I understand the intent of the inquiry by Planning Commission, but want to be careful that discussion is not re-opened on items previously approved as part of the Final Map by City staff, Planning Commission or City Council. The Planning Commission should be reminded of the following facts: The landscape plans and all grading, engineering and roadway plans for the entire Bressi Ranch Industrial development were approved as part of the CT 00-06 Final Tract Map recorded on May 29, 2003. The approved landscape plans show irrigation, ground cover, shrubs and trees to be installed on the slopes and corner of Palomar Airport Rd. & El Camino Real (PARlECR). Most of this work was completed by the Master Developer, Lennar Communities. The remaining landscape improvements were delayed to accommodate the construction of the City Pump Station. The conditions of approval for CT 00-06 do not require that Lennar Communities or SRG provide any further landscape improvements at the corner of P ARJECR other than that shown on the approved plans. As stated above, the City of Carlsbad Recycled and Potable Water Pump Station construction delayed the fmal installation of the landscape at this location. This delay has resulted in significant increased costs as irrigation, planting materials and labor have become more costly over time. In spite of this, SRG voluntarily submitted plans, based upon a fixed budget, for the further enhancement of the P ARlECR corner in August 2006. The plans, as prepared by Gillespie Landscape Architects, show additional landscape and site wall improvements at the corner. The concept plans for those enhancements were reviewed with planning staff and preliminary approval was given to submit those plans as a "Construction Plan Change" to the existing approved landscape plans. At that meeting, all parties were in agreement that the proposed enhancements would improve the aesthetic quality of the corner. A separate submittal for the project identity signage with the name "Bressi Ranch" was also prepared.

The funds for the project have been expended on the improvements and a fIxed amount remams for the landscape improvements planned for the comer of P ARfECR. Don, we are eager to receive approvals and begin installation of the approved and proposed landscape improvements so we can complete the entire Bressi Ranch Industrial project. I am hopeful the City can expedite the approval of those plans so we can begin work shortly and avoid any further cost increases.
