II. INTRODUCTION
The proposal is for the redevelopment and minor expansion of an existing neighborhood
commercial shopping center (La Costa Plaza) located on an 11.78 acre site at the northeast corner
of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue. The existing 69,000 square foot shopping center, the
Los Ninos Child Daycare Center and a Leucadia County Water District reclaimed water
detention basin would be entirely demolished and replaced with a new approximately 86,320
square foot neighborhood shopping center. The project includes changes to the General Plan and
Zone Maps to bring the various parcels into consistency with the Land Use Element of the
General Plan. The project also complies with City standards and all the necessary findings can
be made for the approvals being requested. In conclusion, staff believes that the project has
addressed all issues and, therefore, warrants approval.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The project site is located directly south of San Marcos Creek and west of the Leucadia County
Water District's waste water facility. In addition a majority of the existing shopping center site
is located in the San Marcos Creek floodplain, however, there are no buildings or improvements
located in the floodway. The existing shopping center's service station was located at the street
corner of the site until it was demolished in 1995. After the station was demolished and the fuel
tanks were removed, the station owner also removed the soil that was contaminated by the
underground tanks. Since 1995, the station owner has been monitoring the quality of the site's
groundwater under the review and supervision of the San Diego County Health Department.
The reason for expanding the project site to the northeast by approximately 1.27 acres is to
accommodate the siting of a modem market/drug store to economically revive the declining
commercial property. The onsite placement of a market/drug store would not otherwise be
possible due to the physical site constraints created by the wide SDG&E powerline easement that
crosses the center of the site. SDG&E will not allow any buildings to encroach into the 150 foot
wide easement area. Expanding the eastern portion of the site ensures that the large market/drug
store is situated furthest from El Camino Real which is designated as a scenic corridor roadway.
The proposed project would consist of the following features and improvements:
1. Demolition of the existing shopping center including the Los Nifios Child Day Care
Center;
2. Construction of an approximately 61,025 ± sq. ft. combination market/drug store;
3. Construction of approximately 22,500± sq. ft. of commercial retail floor area and the
potential relocation of the child day care center within a portion of this square footage;
4. Construction of an approximately 2,732± sq. ft. gas station mini-market;
5. A .93 acre land purchase of an adjacent parcel owned by the Leucadia County Water
District for the expansion of the shopping center and demolition and removal of an
approximately 800,000 gallon reclaimed water reservoir on that .93 acre site;
6. A .34 acre purchase of adjacent property owned by La Costa Hotel and Spa Corporation
for the expansion of the shopping center;
7. Grading to create an approximately 480 foot long and 7 to 9 foot high earthen mound
immediately south of the San Marcos Creek floodway to reduce potential flooding on
Leucadia County Water District property.

8. Traffic improvements to include a traffic signal at the La Costa Avenue driveway
entrance, right turn lane on westbound approach to El Camino Real/La Costa Avenue
intersection, an advanced signal warning system for westbound La Costa Avenue, a
widened existing driveway access to La Costa Avenue, added deceleration lane on the El
Camino Real main driveway entrance, consolidation of driveways and placement of
driveways further from the El Camino Real/La Costa intersection, and a new median with
left turn to enter the site from El Camino Real; and
9. Realignment of onsite drainage facilities and the construction of an onsite drainage
detention basin.
The proposed project is subject to the following regulations:
A. Carlsbad General Plan designation of Neighborhood Commercial - (N);
B. Neighborhood Commercial (C-l) Zone (Municipal Code Chapter 21.26); Qualified
Development Overlay (Q) Zone (Municipal Code Chapter 21.06); Nonresidential Planned
Development (Municipal Code Chapter 21.47); Conditional Uses (Municipal Code
Chapter 21.42); Floodplain Management Regulations (Municipal Code Chapter 21.110);
Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone (Municipal Code Chapter 21.40) and El Camino Real
Corridor Development Standards;
C. Subdivision Ordinance (Title 20); and
D. Growth Management Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 21.90) and Local Facilities
Management Zone 6.
IV. ANALYSIS
The recommendations for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with applicable policies and regulations listed above. The following analysis section
discusses compliance with each of these regulation/policies utilizing both text and tables.
A. General Plan and Zone Change
As described on the General Plan and Zone Change exhibits (attachments 13 and 14), the project
site is designated in the Carlsbad General Plan (GP) as Community Commercial (C), Public
Utility (U), and Open Space (OS). The portions of the site designated C and U have a General
Commercial (C-2) zoning designation. The portions of the site designated OS have a
Community Commercial (C-2) and Planned Community (PC) zoning designation as illustrated in
Table 1. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would designate the entire
site Neighborhood Commercial (N) with the C-l Zone and Q-Overlay Zone.

** Note: This change constitutes a boundary adjustment and does not require a General Plan
Amendment at this point in time. These changes as well as other minor boundary
adjustments will be processed together as a "batched" General Plan Amendment
sometime later this year.
1. Commercial Designation - The existing shopping center site is approximately 10.51
acres in size with a project proposal for approximately 86,320± sq. ft. of neighborhood
commercial land uses and a 1.27 acre expansion. Currently the project site's Community
Commercial land use designation does not meet the General Plan's criteria of 10 to 30
acres and 100,000 to 300,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor area for a Community
Commercial designation. The project site is qualified in the General Plan more as a
Neighborhood Commercial site (3 to 10 acres and 30,000 to 100,000 sq. ft. of retail area)
rather than a Community Commercial designated site.
2. Public Utility Designation - A portion of the eastern expansion area purchased froni the
water district, has a Utility designation and a C-2 zoning designation. The Utility
designation is for public infrastructure land uses. The C-2 zoning designation is not
consistent with the utility designation because it allows commercial land uses which are
inconsistent with public infrastructure land uses. Changing the General Plan designation
to Neighborhood Commercial and the zoning designation to C-l would bring it into
conformity with the General Plan's commercial criteria and eliminates the inconsistency
between the General Plan and the zoning designation.
3 Open Space Designation - The developer is requesting an adjustment of the Open Space
boundaries of the General Plan based on the following circumstances. A portion of the
eastern expansion area, purchased from La Costa Resort, has an OS designation and a PC
zoning designation. In addition, the northern portion of the existing shopping center site
is designated Open Space with a C-2 zoning designation. All the OS designated portions
of the site are shown on the General Plan's Conceptual Open Space & Conservation Map
as "potentially constrained open space" and are not shown as "dedicated or
approved" General Plan Open Space. This is important because a mapping boundary
adjustment for "potentially constrained open space", as shown on the Conceptual Open
Space Map, does not require a General Plan Amendment of the Open Space and
Conservation Element at this point in time, nor does it need to comply with the
adjustment procedures of the Open Space and Conservation Element, if further detailed

study shows that it is not otherwise constrained. The project's floodway analysis and
Vegetation Analysis and Wetland Determination prepared by Planning Systems, dated
September 16,1997 and updated December 18,1997, indicates that this area of the site is
not constrained by the 100 year floodway and does not contain wetlands or other sensitive
native habitat. Therefore, the boundary adjustment to redesignate these areas to an N
designation will not negatively impact the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
General Plan.

2. Q Overlay Zone - A Site Development Plan (SDP) has been submitted with the
project in compliance with Chapter 21.06. The Q Overlay Zone was added to the
project's zone change due to the property's high visibility at the El Camino Real
and La Costa Avenue intersection and the site's location in the San Marcos Creek
floodplain. The Q Overlay ensures future compatibility with the floodway and
surrounding developments, as well as requiring attractive and harmonious site
design.
SDP Design and Compatibility Features - In keeping with the predominant
architectural styles of the La Costa community, the proposed architecture is
contemporary Spanish with tile roofs and stucco exteriors and architectural details
such as cornices, arches, columns, and exposed wooden rafters. All the buildings
within the shopping center would have similar architecture and building materials
and are setback an minimum of 30 feet from La Costa Avenue and El Camino
Real. The 30 foot setback area would be heavily landscaped and contain an
earthen berm to screen the parking lot from the public roadways. The building
perimeter of the market/drug store would be screened by trees, the roof would be
an earth tone color to reduce light reflection, and the roof equipment would be
screened to reduce visual impacts on the homes located to the southeast of the
property. The shopping cart storage areas at the front of the market/drug store
would be screened with walls and the truck loading well area would be screened
by landscaping and a wall along the north side of the site.
The shopping center would have covered pedestrian walkways in front of the
shops and a landscaped pedestrian plaza area located at the corner of the site next
to the El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue intersection. The shopping center
would have pedestrian connections to the public sidewalks along El Camino Real
and La Costa Avenue. The parking lot would have shopping cart storage areas
and the driveways and parking spaces would meet City standards. In addition, the
parking lot interior and perimeter would be landscaped with a combination of
trees and shrubs. The main entry ways would have a landscaped median and
texture/enhanced paving treatment. The shopping center would have good
internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation and contain a wide central non-
loaded circulation driveway that would connect with a new signalized intersection
at La Costa Avenue and two driveways leading to El Camino Real.

Nonresidential Planned Development Permit - The project proposal to create
multiple ownership lots without direct access from a dedicated public street
creates the need for a Nonresidential Planned Development Permit to augment the
tentative subdivision map. The project complies with all the required findings of
Section 21.47.020 of the Municipal Code as noted in Planning Commission
Resolution No. 4312. The proposed lots would share common landscaping,
driveway access and parking. The redevelopment of the shopping center would
help economically revive the existing commercial center and provided additional
shopping opportunities for residents in the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
The project has been designed to meet the requirements of the underlying C-l
Zone, all policies and standards of the City, and there are no adopted master plan
or specific plans that apply to this site.
Conditional Use Permit - A service station is permitted in the C-l Zone with the
approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed service station would be
associated with a neighborhood shopping center land use and would have good
vehicular access to El Camino Real. The service station would be buffered from
the shopping center by landscaped perimeter planters and driveway aisles. The
site is located as far north as possible from the El Camino Real and La Costa
Avenue intersection and would be large enough to accommodate gas delivery
trucks and provide adequate vehicle stacking and circulation at the service pumps.
In addition, there would be 16 on-site parking spaces to adequately satisfy the
parking demand.
The service station would comply with the required conditions of Chapter 21.42
as follows:

5. Special Use Permits:
a. Floodplain Management Regulations, Chapter - 21.110 - A special use
permit has been submitted with the project in compliance with this chapter of the
Municipal Code. There is no development proposed in the San Marcos Creek
floodway, however, the existing shopping center and the Leucadia County Water
District Facility are located in the floodplain adjoining the floodway. The
project's "HEC-2 Study" prepared by Dr. Howard H. Chang, dated February
1997, and updated by letters dated June 25,1997 and December 11,1997, indicate
that the proposed grading, filling, and redevelopment in the floodplain would not
significantly impact the floodway or floodplain and would not result in additional
exposure to risk of on-site or off-site flooding from a 100 year flood. In addition,
the project would not significantly change the direction of surface water
movement or ground water flow, and, therefore, would not affect adjoining
properties. All the project's drainage would still flow north towards San Marcos
Creek.
The proposed 480 foot long earthen berm located on the Leucadia County Water
District property, per Exhibit "D", is not a flood mitigation condition resulting
from the shopping center development. However, the new berm would reduce the
existing flooding potential to the existing Leucadia County Water District facility.
The berm is being constructed by American Stores Properties Inc. as part of the
land sale agreement with the water district. It is evaluated and included with this
project because the necessary soil to construct the berm would come from the
grading operation for the shopping center site. The berm would not increase flood

hazards to downstream properties and would provide important flood protection
for the existing public utility site.
b. Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone. Chapter 21.40 - El Camino Real is
classified as a scenic corridor and a special use permit has been submitted with the
project to satisfy this chapter of the Municipal Code. The project complies with
the requirements of the El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards as
follows:

**The developer is requesting that the Planning Commission allow a deviation to
this standard to allow internally illuminated channel letter signs made with an
acrylic face. The El Camino Real scenic corridor guidelines as adopted by City
Council, allow a deviation from the sign standards if findings 'of fact are
established by the Planning Commission. Compliance with the required findings
are achieved as follows:
a. Wooden signs do not feasibly provide the necessary store front
identification during the evening hours of operation;
b. The comprehensive sign program approved by the Planning Director
would ensure that the size and design of the signs would not degrade the
scenic qualities of the corridor and would meet the intent of the scenic
preservation overlay zone; and
c. The use of internally illuminated acrylic signs would not impact traffic on
El Camino Real. Signs that are more visible at night increase traffic
safety.

C. Subdivision Ordinance
The project site would be subdivided into 8 lots ranging in size from 18,726 to 284,714 square
feet. The proposed project consists of the redevelopment of an existing shopping center so there
are no major new sewer lines proposed to service the property. Water service is provided by an
existing 12 inch waterline on El Camino Real. Drainage from the site is designed to be
consistent with the existing drainage pattern. A portion of the site will drain to San Marcos
Creek and a portion to an existing 27 inch storm drain on El Camino Real. Since the project
would contain more paved areas, resulting in increased drainage flows, a detention basin is
included with the proposed project that will even out the flows. With regard to surface
pollutants, a condition of approval requires the project provide onsite pollutant mitigation to all
surface runoff prior to reaching the public storm drain and San Marcos Creek. The preliminary
geotechnical investigation performed by Geosoils, Inc. indicates that the site is suitable for the
proposed project. The grading of the site would include the import of approximately 20,000
cubic yards of fill material and there are no outstanding or major geotechnical issues associated
with this project.
To provide for the traffic and circulation impacts generated by the project, on and offsite
improvements are provided, including a traffic signal at the project access driveway on La Costa
Avenue and an advance signal warning system for westbound La Costa Avenue. In addition,
there would be a dedicated right-turn lane on westbound La Costa Avenue, a deceleration lane on
El Camino Real, and median improvements on El Camino Real with an opening for left turns
into the project site. Consolidation of the existing shopping center driveways and relocation of
the proposed new project driveways further from the El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue
intersection will also improve traffic circulation around the intersection.
D. Growth Management Ordinance
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 6 in the southeast
quadrant. The impacts on public facilities created by this project and compliance with the
adopted performance standards are summarized as follows:

V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The initial study (EIA-Part II) prepared in conjunction with this project determined that some of
the environmental effects which are peculiar to the property or to this project are considered
direct significant and adverse impacts. The developer has agreed to add mitigation measures to
the project to reduce those adverse effects to below a level of significance in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project's direct
significant effects include impacts to traffic circulation, water quality, aesthetics, and hazards.
The project site was massively graded in the 1960s and developed with the existing shopping
center and Leucadia County Water District facility. The proposed development area supports no
significant habitat and no sensitive plant or animal species. No historical, archaeological, or
paleontological resources are known to exist at the site, and due to the previous grading and
development, none are anticipated to be discovered. The project would not increase flood
hazards in the area. Furthermore, the project has been either designed or conditioned to
incorporate all feasible and pertinent mitigation measures identified in Master EIR 93-01. In
consideration of the foregoing, on March 3, 1997 the Planning Director issued a Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the proposed project. No comments were received. Please see the
Environmental Assessment Form-Part II for a detailed description of the mitigation measures and
the expanded justification for the recommendation to approve the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.
