The City of Carlsbad Planning Division
A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Item No.
Application complete date: October 14, 2014
P.C. AGENDA OF: September 16, 2015 Project Planner: Austin Silva
Project Engineer: Steve Bobbett
SUBJECT: PUD 14-04/HDP 14-03/SUP 14-02/MS 14-06 – SPRAGUE LOT SPLIT – Request for a
Planned Development Permit, Hillside Development Permit, Special Use Permit, and
Minor Subdivision to allow for the subdivision of two parcels into four parcels on
property located on the east side of El Camino Real, south of Chestnut Avenue and
north of Tamarack Avenue in the Planned Community zone, and in Local Facilities
Management Zone 2. The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a
class of projects that the State Secretary of Resources has found not to have a
significant impact on the environment, and is therefore categorically exempt from the
requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section
15332 – In-fill Development Projects, of the State CEQA Guidelines.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7110 APPROVING PUD 14-
04/HDP 14-03/SUP 14-02/MS 14-06, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Project Site/Setting: The subject site is a 2.28 acre property located on the east side of El Camino Real,
south of Chestnut Avenue and north of Tamarack Avenue. The property currently consists of two vacant
parcels that are elevated above and accessed from El Camino Real. Steep slopes face El Camino Real and
an existing driveway is used to access the upper portions of the lots. The western and southern portion
of the property has been graded by the City of Carlsbad in association with the El Camino Real widening
capital improvement project. In order to avoid constructing tall retaining walls on the steep slopes,
contour grading was completed at a 1.5:1 slope. The entire graded area was hydro-seeded with a native
seed mix to prevent erosion and to make the slope more aesthetically pleasing and natural looking. The
existing driveway was re-graded and paved as part of the capital improvement project.
Table A below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site
and surrounding properties.

TABLE B
Gross Acres Net Acres DUs Allowed at GMCP Density DUs Proposed and Project Density
2.28 1.45 4.64 Four lots are proposed at a density of
2.76 du/ac
Project grading will require approximately 700 cubic yards (CY) of cut and 700 CY of fill. The cut is
proposed on parcel three, with the fill being proposed on parcel four to help reinforce the slope. A 20
foot drive-aisle is proposed with a four foot sidewalk that would provide access to the four lots. The
slope along the western portion of the property will be maintained through a maintenance agreement
between the future property owners. There are no homes included as part of this proposal.
III. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. Residential Low-Medium General Plan Land Use Designation;
B. Planned Community (P-C) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.38) and Planned Development Regulations
(C.M.C. Chapter 21.45);
C. Hillside Development Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.95);
D. Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.40) and El Camino Real Scenic Corridor –
Area 2;
E. Inclusionary Housing (C.M.C. Chapter 21.85)
F. Subdivision Ordinance (C.M.C. Title 20); and
G. Growth Management Ordinance (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90)
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project’s consistency
with the applicable regulations and policies. The project’s compliance with each of the above
regulations is discussed in the sections below.
A. General Plan
The General Plan Land Use designation for the project site is Residential Low-Medium (RLM). The RLM
designation allows for low-medium density residential development at 0 to 4 du/ac with a GMCP of 3.2
du/ac. The project site has a net developable acreage of 1.45 acres allowing for 4.64 units to be
developed at the GMCP. A total of 4 dwelling units with an overall density 2.76 du/ac can be
accommodated, which is .64 units below the 4.64 units allowed at the GMCP. Pursuant to Government
Code §65863, the City may not reduce the residential density on any parcel below that which was used
by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in determining compliance with
Housing Element law, unless the city makes findings that the reduction of residential density is
consistent with the adopted General Plan, including the Housing Element; and that the remaining sites
identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the city’s share of the regional housing
need pursuant to Government Code §65584.
The project is consistent with the city’s General plan since the proposed density of 2.76 du/ac is within
the RLM density range of 0 to 4 du/ac as specified for the site. The project’s proposed density of 2.76
du/ac is slightly below the GMCP density (3.2 du/ac) used for the purposes of calculating the city’s
PUD 14-04/HDP 14-03/SUP 14-02/MS 14-06 – SPRAGUE LOT SPLIT
September 16, 2015

compliance with Government Code §65584. However, consistent with Program 3.2 of the city’s certified
Housing Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the city’s share of
the regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects are deposited into
the city’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are available for allocation to other
projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties
identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity adequate to
satisfy the city’s share of the regional housing need. Therefore, .64 dwelling units will be deposited into
the city Excess Dwelling Unit Bank.
In addition to the above, the project also complies with the elements of the General Plan as outlined in
Table C Below:

Yes
B. Planned Community (P-C) Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.38) and Planned Development Regulations
(C.M.C. Chapter 21.45)
The subject property is located within the Planned Community (P-C) Zone, however there is no approved
master plan. The P-C zone does not establish any development standards, but instead relies on the
preparation of a master plan to establish development standards. Where no master plan is approved,
C.M.C. Section 21.38.150 states that parcels zoned P-C with an area of less than 100 acres shall be
developed pursuant to the Planned Development Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.45). The project
includes a Planned Development Permit (PUD 14-04) and is compliant with all applicable requirements
and development standards of the Planned Development Regulations as demonstrated in Staff Report
Attachments No. 4 – 6.
C. Hillside Development Regulations (C.M.C. Chapter 21.95)
The project requires a Hillside Grading Permit because the site includes a change in grade elevation
greater than 15 feet and has slopes greater than 15%. The project meets all the requirements of the
Hillside Development Regulations. Hillside conditions of the project have been properly identified on the
constraints map, which show existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages. Additionally,
there is no grading proposed on slopes of over 40% gradient, and the volume of grading (625 cubic
yards/acre) falls with the acceptable level of 0 – 7,999 cubic yards/acre.
D. Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.40) and El Camino Real Scenic Corridor –
Area 2
Special Use Permits are required whenever a site is located within a Scenic Preservation or Floodplain
Overlay Zone. The proposed project is located within the El Camino Real Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone.
The El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards were adopted in 1984. The intent of these
standards is to maintain and enhance the appearance of the roadway by setting standards for setbacks,
signs, building height, grading, and design. The document is also intended to further the goals of the
Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan with the objective of preserving unique city
resources as they relate to highways and arterials.
The proposed project is in Area 2 (Chestnut Avenue to the Country Store) of the El Camino Real Corridor,
which is predominated by single and multi-family residential uses. The proposed project is consistent
with the standards of Area 2. Each of the requirements and responses to the requirements are
addressed in Table D below.

Yes
E. Inclusionary Housing (C.M.C. Chapter 21.85)
For all residential development less than seven units, the inclusionary housing requirement may be
satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. The proposal to subdivide two lots
into four has been conditioned to pay the four housing in-lieu fees prior to final map approval.
F. Subdivision Ordinance (C.M.C. Title 20)
The project includes four lots for single-family residential units and is therefore subject to the
regulations of Chapter 20.16 of the Subdivision Ordinance. These subdivision regulations require the
project to include required street dedications and improvements (streets, sewer, water, and drainage)
to serve the proposed subdivision.
The Land Development Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed Tentative Parcel Map and has
concluded that the subdivision, as conditioned, complies with all the applicable requirements of the
Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. El Camino Real is a publicly dedicated
roadway and no additional improvements or dedication of streets are required. All infrastructure
improvements, including street frontage, drainage, sewer, and water facilities exist.
No standards variances are needed to approve the project. Given the above, the proposed subdivision
would provide all necessary facilities and improvements without producing land conflicts; therefore, the
project is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance.
