For those purposes of this condition, "major" grading shall be defined as any created slope with a height of 15 feet or greater or as determined by the City Engineer. (Commission found this revised condition to be proper) 8. A listing of each village area as shown on Exhibit D, 9/27/78, shall be provided clearly describing the development to occur in each. Mr. Fred Morey, La Costa Land Company, related his opinion that Lake Calavera Hills is a relatively small Master Plan area and the applicant has exerted a great deal of detail in their planning work. He noted that the extent to which the applicant has carried this precision boarders on a precise plan and further indicated that the Commission should not expect the same degree of detail in any Master Plans submitted by La Costa Land Company. (this item was tabled until other conditions have been discussed) 9. Development of Village K shall be limited to apartments. Mr. Fred Morey, expressed concern with City policy being included in conditions of a Master Plan and urged that any policy change be instituted on a citywide basis and not in individual master plans. He also noted that there is no provision in the Zone Code for a rental zone per se. (Commission found this condition to be improper) 10. Specific development plans shall be evaluated in accord with Municipal Ordinances in force at the time when said plans are before the City Council for approval. Approval and construction of a part of the development pursuant to this Master Plan shall not vest any rights in the balance of the Master Plan nor create any vested rights to the approval of any subsequent developments. (Commission found this condition to be proper) PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 4, 1978 Page Five (5) 11. .C 12. 13. 14. 15. Approval of this plan does not constitute any guarantee that the availability of public facilities and services will necessarily coincide with the developer's timetable for construction. Availability of public services will be evaluated in the context of subsequent, individual approvals. (Commission found this condition to be proper) No reimbursement by the City shall be provided for areas required to be dedicated in the Master plan. (Commission instructed staff to clarify condition to only apply to 20 acres of dedicated park area) All streets within the development shall comply with City standards or as required by the City Engineer. (Commission found this condition to be proper) Special treatment shall be given to that portion of Elm Avenue that lies between Tamarack Avenue and College Boulevard. Consideration shall include such things as center medians, turning lanes at intersections, restricted median openings, etc., as required by City Engineer. (Specific Right of Way and improvements to be included) The developer of each residential or commercial development shall construct or contribute money for all traffic signals required by traffic generated by the development as required by City Engineer or by what- ever traffic signal policy/ordinance is in effect at the time of development. Mr. Fred Morey, La Costa Land Company, related the need for a City policy regarding traffic signals, as there is no policy as of this time. He believes that payment for same should be obtained at the time of construction and all should contribute. The Commission agreed that the City Council should be urged to adopt a traffic signal policy. Due to the lateness of the hour it was decided to continue this public hearing until Wednesday, October 11, 1978 at 7:OO P.M. and thereafter to Thursday, October 12, 1978 at 4:OO P.M. in the Council Chambers.
