CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS: Bill Hofman referred to the memo of July 22, 1981 from the Planning Department to the Planning Commission, with regard to some additional conditions for items on the agenda; and indicated that if there were no problems, Staff would be recommending approval of the Resolutions with these added conditions. 1. CT 81-15/CP-161, RUSSELL. Request for a 9 unit Tentative Tract Map and Condominium Permit on property located on the north side of Home Street between Jefferson Street and Hope Avenue in the R-3 Zone. With the aid of a transparency showing the location of the project, Bill Hofman gave a report on the matter, essentially as contained in the written staff report. Commissioner Rombotis pointed out that this property- abuts the Redevelopment Area, which is across from sub-area 8, and calls for more intensive residential use from the General Plan densities. He added that he does not see how Staff can justify their concerns of the higher density. Bill Hofman stated that the project is not in the Redevelop- ment Area, and Staff has to look at same like any other project within the City, and their intent was to review each project consistently. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 7:07 P.M., and extended the invitation'to speak. The Commission recognized Paul Russell, 2525 "K" Jefferson Street, Carlsbad; the applicant. Mr. Russell gave some background on the project, and stated his opinion that same will be beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. He added that Staff's only recommending to the applicant was to drop a unit or two; however, he indicated that dropping one unit does not greatly benefit the project. He stated that in losing one unit, he would have to raise the price of each _ unit a minimum of $10,000. -- / MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION July 22, 1981 Page 2 Mr. Russell continued to explain that by dropping one of the units, they would gain 564 square feet of open space, compar- ed to over 14,000 they already have, which includes the driveways.' He added.that they did upgrade the plan to accomodate three and a half more guest parking spaces. There is also 559 square feet of flat and usable recreation area, which is well above the 200 square feet required; and there is 760 cubic feet of convenient storage space per unit, as opposed to the 480 cubic feet required. Mr. Russell stated that they were able to obtain the extra recreation area by three main changes, and he explained same, which provided more open passive and open active area. He added that on the original plan, Staff counted 100 percent of the rear open area as recreation space; however, in coming back with' the amended plan, Staff decided to count only small areas around each bench and barbeque. This is what resulted in Staffs' 325 square feet per unit, versus the applicants' 559 square feet per unit. In conclusion, Mr. Russell continued to explain the design of the project, along with the various amenities; and requested approval of same. In response to Commission query regarding the landscaping, Mr. Russell described same briefly. Commissioner Jose inquired if there was any possibility of staggering the buildings, to add to the esthetics of the units. Mr. Russell explained that there was not, and indicated that they have tried that approach; however, staggering would not be feasible on this lot. He also pointed out that if staggering was possible, some of the views would be lost. Discussion then reflected the use of concrete, versus black top for the driveway. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 7:20 P.M. Commissioner Farrow pointed out that the building covers 30 percent of the land, and stated that the recreation area per dwelling unit is 325, which supercedes that which is required. He added that the complex has two passive areas, and feels that same is compatible with those in the surrounding area. He also stated that he is not concerned with the high density use, and is in favor of the project. Commissioner L'Heureux expressed concern over the discrepancy between Staff and the applicant in figuring the recreational area. He also stated that he does not see the justification in the objections and concerns that Staff has raised with regard to density. Bill Hofman explained that in figuring the recreational area, Staff looked at only the usable area; which included the pool area, the deck, the balconies, and the area to the rear which was usable. The applicant, on the other hand, included planter areas and all unusable open areas which cannot be counted according to the Condominium Ordinance. Commissioner Farrow pointed out that the applicant is also over the requirement for storage area, and all the parking is under cover with the electric garage door openers. He _ stated.his..feeling that same adds to the flavor of the ..p~~j ebb, - -. \ * \ % c :OMMISSIONERS ’ - MINUTES f PLANNING COMMISSION July 22, 1981 Page 3 With regard to the density issue, Bill Hofman explained that the General Plan does establish criteria that Staff looks at when they approve a project over the minimum that is specified by the General Plan. If the applicant wishes to go above the density, there is criteria listed that relates. to topography, amenities, and lot configuration. He added that this is the criteria Staff has been using on all projects. Bill Hofman continued, indicating that the reduction of one unit would make a difference. He stated that Staff's primary concern is the density, and the justification of same, as Staff has to go by the General Plan guidelines. Mr. Hofman stated that Staff also has concern with the design of the project, and discussion reflected same. The Commission directed Staff to bring back a Resolution with conditions of approval for CT 81-15/CP-161, to include the following: the driveway in concrete, requiring the textured areas, elimination of the walkway to the rear, and specifications for the size of the trees The Planning Director indicated that there are concerns in this area and site which the City Council and Planning Commission have not expressed before; and Staffs' recommendation is based on a consistent history of how they have treated these kinds of projects throughout the City. Mr. Hagaman suggested that the Commission hold a workshop to discuss the differences that have occurred, with regard to the new areas that have not occurred in the past. He added that a workshop would help in providing better consistency and direction for both Staff and applicants'. The Commission concurred. Chairman Marcus indicated that a request has been received for the withdrawal of Item No. 4, CUP-203, Unity of Carlsbad. 4. CUP-203, UNITY OF CARLSBAD. Request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a church with weekly and holiday assemblages at 3138 Roosevelt Street in an existing office/retail development in the C-2 zone. The Commission accepted the withdrawal of CUP-203. Chairman Marcus indicated that the applicant has requested a continuance on Item No. 9, MS-532, Harkins. 9. MS-532, HARKINS. Request for approval of a Minor Subdivision to create three lots, two of which are panhandle lots, on the north side of Pine Avenue between Pie Pica and Highland in the R-1-7500 zone. At the applicant's request, the Commission continued MS-532 to the meeting of August 26, 1981. -5 \ :OMMISSIONERS -- Marcus L'Heureux Jose Rombotis' Farrow Schlehuber Marcus L'Heureux Jose.

Request for a 24 unit Tentative Tract Map and Condominium permit on property located on the north side of Pirineos Way, La Costa in the RD-M zone. With the aid of a transparency showing the location of the project, the staff report was presented by Bill Hofman, essentially as contained in the written staff report. Commissioner Farrow identified such statistics as dwelling units per acre, building use, recreation area, and storage requirements; and stated that he cannot justify the consistency in this project, as related to other projects, and requested clarification of same. Bill Hofman explained that it is difficult to compare two developments within two different General Plan.areas, and covered some of the amenities in the project, as they relate to other projects. He added that Staff feels they are consistently reviewing all projects. Mr. Hofman pointed out that staff report did not indicate the actual recreation figure on the Sunrise Pacific project, as it is quite a bit more than the required 200 square feet per unit. Commission discussion reflected on the consistency of this project, as related to other projects. Bill Hofman indicated that the PUD Ordinance Committee will be recommending flexibility on setbacks, and they are going to try to include condominium projects. Commissioner Jose referred to Resolution NO. 1834, Condition No. 23, and expressed concern over the wording of same. He stated his feeling that it should be stated that they are or are not required. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 7:54 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized Dennis Sloan, 20944 Sherman Way, Suite 215, Canoga Park. Mr. Sloan pointed out that the storage exceeds the requirement by approximately 30 to 40 percent, and expressed the willingness to respond to any questions. In response to Commission query, Mr. Sloan indicated that the applicant is in agreement with all the recommended conditions. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 7:55 P.M. Commissioner Rombotis expressed concern over the parking, and inquired if Staff looked at the three parking spaces that are being required on the street. Bill Hofman stated that the parking issue is a legitimate concern; however, usually on a cul-de-sac where there is no through traffic, the parking does not become a real problem. ~Ol+lISSIONERS ’ -. MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION July 22, 1981 Page 5 The Commission approved the Negative Declaration issued by Marcus the Planning Director and adopted the following Resolution L'Heureux recommending approval of CT 81-2O/CP-165 to the City Council, Jose based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained Rombotis in the staff report; with the addition of the following Farrow conditions: Schlehuber 1) "Pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.20.050(l) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, a parcel map may be filed in lieu of a final map. Whenever reference is made in these conditions to a final map, the reference shall apply also to a parcel map filed in lieu thereof." 2) Approval of this tentative tract map shall expire eighteen months from the date of City Council approval unless a final map is recorded. An exten- sion may be requested by the applicant. Said extension shall be approved or denied,at the discretion of the City Council. In approving an extension, the City Council may impose new condi- tionsand may revise existing conditions." RESOLUTION NO. 1834, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A 24 UNIT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP AND CONDOMINIUM PERMIT ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PIRINEOS WAY. APPLICANT: SUNRISE PACIFIC - CT 81-2O/CP-165. 3. zc-239, KELLY. Request for a Preannexational Zone Change from County C and R-4 to the P-M-Q Zone for property located on the south side of Palomar Airport Road immediately west of the SDG&E power transmission lines. With the aid of a transparency showing the location of the project, the staff report was presented by Bill Hofman. He indicated that Staff has discovered two issues with the project that were not addressed in the staff report. The first relates to the minimal lot sizes allowed in the P-M zone, which currently requires that all lots have a minimum lot area of one acre, unless a Specific Plan is approved on the property allowing smaller lot sizes. Mr. Hofman continued that one of the parcels is less than one acre; therefore, approval of the zone change would create a non-conforming situation. Staff is therefore proposing a condition to the re-zoning, which will require that the lots be consolidated, or a lot line adjustment be approved, creating minimum one acre lots. In lieu of this condition, the applicant could submit a Specific Plan for the entire site; in either case he would be meeting the P-M zoning requirements. The second issue relates to the fact that the parcels are owned by two different,people, and could be developed independently of each other. Because of the unusual lot configuration of the two parcels, and the problems with access onto Palomar Airport Road, Staff feels that both parcels should be developed under one Site Development Plan. Staff is therefore recommending that an additional condition be added, requiring the submittal of one Site Development Plan application for both parcels. Mr. Hofman concluded that with these conditions, Staff feels that-all the findings for approval~of the zone change can be. made, -and-they are recommending approval of same. . :OPlHISSIONERS 1 -- MINUTES - i PLANNING COMMISSION July 22, 1981 Page 6 Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:00 P.M., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized Jean Jensen, 2406-C Altisma Way, Carlsbad; Planning Consultant for the applicant. Ms. Jensen indicated that she brought the issues referred to during the sta.ff report, to Staffs' attention earlier this date. How- ever, she stated she does not accept the condition that the Site Development Plan application be made as one for both parcels. She added that time restraints do not work when two owners are involved, and asked that the Specific Plan, which is in the Ordinance, be adhered to. She stated that the applicants agree to all other conditions, and expressed the willingness to respond to any questions. The Assistant City Attorney inquired as to Staffs' justification for Condition No. 2 under the Ordinance. Bill Hofman explained that it is a planning justification, and stated that Staff is very concerned that if the two properties develop independently, there will be two accesses along Palomar Airport Road , which could become a real problem. He explained that the only way to control same, would be to have one Site Review for the entire project. Ms. Jensen pointed out that one of the properties is very small and would have to have access; however, the other one is approximately 11 acres, and could have access at the other end. Michael Holzmiller explained that he approved the report, and until today, he did not realize that there were two separate ownerships. He stated that it was. always the Department's intent in reviewing the re-zoning, that there would be one Site Development Plan for the whole.property. He added that since the applicants may be opposed to consolidating the property, Staff felt that there needed to be a coordinated plan in order to make the small lot suitable for P-M zoning. Discussion reflected the issue of access onto Palomar Airport Road. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus continued the public hearing. The Commission continued ZC-239, Kelly, to the meeting of August 12, 1981; and requested additional clarification and report on the matter. 5. CT 81-17/CP-163, LA COSTA VILLA. Request for approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map and Condominium Permit to develop 15 units on the north side of Gibraltar Avenue between Jerez Court and Romeria Street in the RD-M Zone.

Proposed Tentative Subdivision Map and Condominium Permit to develop 22 units on the north side of Navarra Drive east of Viejo Castilla Way in the RD-M Zone. With the aid of a transparency showing the location of the project, Bill Hofman gave a report on the matter; essentially as contained in the written staff report. Chairman Marcus opened the public hearing at 8:15 P.M.., and extended the invitation to speak. The Commission recognized Charles Peinado, 6615 Caminito Scioto, La Jolla; one of the partners of the La Costa Green Project. Mr. Peinado introduced the Architect, Allen Duber, who continued the presentation. Mr. Allen Duber addressed the Commission, and with the aid of a scale model, he explained the design of the project. With respect to the putting green surface on the top of the roof, Mr. Peinado indicated that Staff is requiring a sod roof; however, the applicant is requesting rewording of the condition to allow for a feasibility study of using astroturf rather than the sod. Commissioner L'Heureux inquired what type of sound atten- uation measures the applicant will provide. Mr. Peinado responded that this is one of-the factors that will be looked at in the detailed design of the building; however, they have not yet decided what the structure will be. He explained that sound, waterproofing, and structural strength are all aspects taken into consideration. Bill Hofman pointed out that sound was one of the reasons that Staff was requiring the sod, as astro-turf is only a mat over the roof, and provides no buffer. The sod would provide azcushion and a noise barrier. :OMMISSIONERS ’ -. Marcus L'Heureux Jose Rombotis Farrow Schlehuber -.- MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION July 22, 1981 Page 8 Mr. Duber showed the Commission a front view sketch of the project, and continued to explain some of the amenities of the project. He also explained the accomodations for visitor parking, and. security. Discussion reflected the feasibility of using astro-turf, versus sod. \ Mr. Peinado requested that the Commission require the applicant to study the feasibility of astro-turf, rather thal requiring the applicant to use sod. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Chairman Marcus closed the public hearing at 8:32 P.M. Commissioners Rombotis and L'Heureux expressed concern with the parking. It was pointed out that the applicant is intentionally devising the amenities to be oriented towards the golf course, and their design is going to attract guests which makes the visitor parking a real concern; Mr. Peinado indicated that the parking issue is a new issue to the applicant, and in working with the Staff, they have had the understanding that the parking as they have devised it was reasonable, and met the criteria of the City. The Commission approved the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and adopted the following Resolution, recommending approval of CT 81-ll/CP-156, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein; with the deletion of Condition No. 15, and the addition of the following condition: "Pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.20.050(l) of the Carlsbad Municipal. Code, a parcel map may be filed in lieu of a final map. Whenever reference is made in these conditions to a final map, the reference shall apply also to a parcel map filed in lieu thereof."

He added that under some of the minor subdivisions they took a future street agreement, and he did not want same to occur here. The Commission recognized Raymond G. Spangler, 3774 Skyline Road, Carlsbad; owner of the property. Mr. Spangler inquired if they would have to make the improvements now, or just agree to.make them. Commissioner Rombotis responded that he should make the improvements now, and referred to Condition No. 10 of Resolution No.,1838. He also pointed out that Ms. Jensen agrees with the condition.

Commissioner L'Heureux expressed concern with Condition No. 2 of the Resolution, and indicated that the term 'unusual circumstances" is not clearly defined. The Assistant City Attorney concurred. Commissioner L'Heureux further stated that the reason it is left vague in the Ordinance is because there are no unusual circumstances; thus, he agreed with the Planning Staff's original recommendation to deny the project. The Commission directed the City Attorney to re-draft the Resolution, for clarification purposes. 14. RESOLUTION NO. 1814, CITY OF CARLSBAD. Commissioner Rombotis pointed out that one of the issues was that the Commission did not find that the parking lot was of a temporary nature, and the.Resolution refers to the parking lot as being temporary. Commissioner L'Heureux referred to Condition No. 5, and stated his feeling that the landscaping should be such that it provides some type of buffer or screening from the people across the street, looking into the parking lot. In response to Commission query, Bill-Hofman explained that the reason Staff combined the Resolutions was that in the event an amendment is proposed, there will be one application number to go along with it. He added that administratively, Staff felt it would present problems separating the two. In response to Commissioner Rombotis' concern over the use of the word "temporary" throughout the Resolution, Michael Holzmiller explained that the application was for a temporary paved parking lot. Staff included in the findings that the Commission was not satisfied that the parking lot would be temporary, and when it is appealed, Staff will attempt to show that it is, in fact, going to be temporary to the City Council. The Commission adopted the following Resolution, and directed the City Attorney to re-draft Finding No. 5C, to reflect the Commissions' concerns the the parking lot as proposed would not be a temporary facility: RESOLUTION NO. 1814, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT MODULAR OFFICE STRUCTURES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LAGUNA DRIVE, BUT DENYING THE REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A TEMPORARY PAVED PARKING LOT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF LAGUNA DRIVE BETWEEN PI0 PICO DRIVE AND ELMWOOD STREET.
