Case No. 06-005 TMlDR/CDPIEIA
FINDINGS FOR A TENTATIVE MAP
STANDARD: Section 66474 of the California Government Code requires that the
authorized agency approve an application for a Tentative Map unless, based upon the
information presented in the application and during the Public Hearing, the authorized
agency makes any of the following findings of fact:
a. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as
specified in Section 65451 ofthe Subdivision Map Act.
Facts: The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property into 18 single-family
residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The proposed subdivision would include site
grading and street improvements but the construction of homes is not proposed at this time.
The proposed subdivision includes a request for density bonus in accordance with State
density bonus law as per California Government Code Section 659.15. The subject property
is located in the Residential 3 (R-3) zone, which allows densities of up to three (3) single-
family residential lots per net acre. No specific plan is applicable to the subject property.
Discussion: With approval of the density bonus request, the proposed subdivision is
consistent with the General Plan. The proposed single-family residential use of the subject
property conforms to the Residential 3 land use designation applicable to the subject
property. According to the net acreage calculations provided for the project by the
applicant, the 4.85-net-acre R-3 property yields a maximum allowed density of 14.55 units,
which rounds down to 14 lots in accordance with the City's maximum density regulations.
The applicant proposes one (1) affordable lot, approximately 7% of the proposed lots, to be
reserved for very-low-income households for density bonus purposes. In accordance with
the State density bonus law, this entitles the applicant to a density bonus of 25% and one (1)
concession or incentive. The density bonus calculation for 14 lots plus a 25% bonus yields
17.5 lots, which rounds up to 18 lots in accordance with the State density bonus law. The 18
total lots would include the density bonus lot, an inclusionary lot as per Chapter 24.21 of the
Municipal Code, and 16 market rate lots. Lot 15 will be reserved for the density bonus lot
and Lot 14 will be reserved to meet the inclusionary housing requirement as per Chapter
24.21. The requested concession is a reduction in lot sizes with related reductions in
setbacks and lot dimensions for several lots as shown on the Tentative Map. The overall
proposed density for the project including the density bonus would be approximately 3.7
units per net acre. The applicant has provided discussion stating that reduction of lot area,
dimensions, and setbacks will permit smaller lot sizes and unit areas to reduce affordable
housing development costs, while allowing additional market units as per the State density
bonus law, will allow the development of additional market rate housing to additionally
offset costs of developing the density bonus affordable unit.

Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that with the implementation of the conditions
of approval of this resolution the proposed subdivision is consistent with the City of
Encinitas General Plan.
b. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision IS not consistent with
applicable general and specific plans.
Facts: The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property into 18 single-family
residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The project includes grading of the site to
create the proposed building pads, frontage improvements to adjacent public streets, and
private street improvements. Subdivision design standards are set forth in Chapter 24.12 of
the Municipal Code and the development standards of the R-3 zone are applicable to the
subject property. Typical minimum standards of the R-3 zone include a minimum lot area
of 14,500 square feet, lot width of 80 feet, lot depth of 100 feet, front- and rear-yard building
setbacks of 25 feet and side-yard building setbacks of ten (10) feet. The design
recommendations of the City of Encinitas Design Guidelines are applicable to the project.
In accordance with State density bonus law as per Section 65915 of the California
Government Code, the applicant proposes reduction of lot areas and dimensions and
building setbacks as identified on the tentative map as incentive to provide affordable
housing in the project (see discussion above). All serVices and utilities are present to
adequately serve the residential project. No specific plan is applicable to the subject
property.
Discussion: With approval of the density bonus request, the design of the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed public and private
improvements related to the project, including but not limited to the private streets, drainage,
and storm water facilities, have been reviewed by the Engineering Services and Fire
Departments and, with the implementation of the conditions of approval of this resolution,
have been found to comply with all applicable standards and regulations.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that with the implementation ofthe conditions
of approval of this resolution the design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
City of Encinitas General Plan.
c. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
Facts: The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property into 18 single-family
residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The proposed subdivision would include site
grading and street improvements but the construction of homes is not proposed at this time.
Proposed grading would create building pads that step to conform to the existing
topography. Proposed building pads would establish the elevation from which future
building would be measured.
Discussion: The residential. development of the subject property. will be consistent with
neighboring residential development. The proposed grading will conform to the existing
grade with balanced pads stepping up the slight slope of the property. The property slopes
PBD\KK\\g:\Resolutions\rpc06-005.2007-33 - 4 -
down gently from the northeast corner of the site to the west and south. The minimum
grading necessary to accomplish proper drainage and usable, flat building areas is proposed.
Primary view opportunities in. the. neighborhood are to the west toward the Pacific Ocean.
Properties with view opportunities across the project site sit immediately adjacent to the
subject property to the east and north sit at a slightly higher elevation than the subject
property. Construction of future single-family residences in compliance with building
height standards measured from the proposed building pads would be of similar impact to
adjacent properties as would structures measured from the existing grade. . Each of the
proposed lots provides ample room for future development of single-family residences,
including adequate outdoor private space.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that with the implementation ofthe conditions
of approval of this resolution the subject property is physically suitable for the type of
development proposed.
d. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
Facts: The applicant proposes to subdivide the 4.85-net-acre subject property into 18 single-
family residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The proposed subdivision would
include site grading and street improvements but the construction of homes is not proposed
at this time. The grading would include a small amount of exported materials and remedial
work to collect and bury contaminated soils on the project site in accordance with the
project's Workplan for Remedial Action andWorkplan Update for Remedial Action. The
proposed subdivision includes a request for density bonus in accordance with State density
bonus law as per California Government Code Section 65915. The subject property is
located in the Residential 3 (R-3) zone, which allows densities of up to three (3) single-
family residential lots per net acre.
Discussion: The project as designed provides adequate parking and adequate pedestrian,
vehicular and emergency access to the site and proposed grading is depicted on the tentative
map. The proposed building pads can be accomplished with minor disturbance to the
project site. Proposed grading is nearly balanced and will require only a small amount of
export. The W orkplan and W orkplan Update for Remedial Action have been reviewed and
accepted by the City's Engineering Services Department and the San Diego County
Department of Environmental Health (DEH). The contaminated soils on the site will be
properly buried on the site as shown on the tentative map and in accordance with DEH
standards. According to the project traffic study, traffic from the proposed subdivision can
be accommodated on surrounding streets within acceptable levels of service and without
modification to the street system. All services and utilities are in place or can be extended to
serve the subdivisions. Each of the proposed residential lots provide ample space for
development of. single-family. residences in compliance with all applicable development
standards.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that with the implementation of the conditions
of approval of this resolution the subject property is physically suitable for the proposed
density of development.

e. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially or avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat.
Facts: The applicant proposes to subdivide the 4.85-net-acre subject property into 18 single-
family residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The proposed subdivision would
include site grading and street improvements but the construction of homes is not proposed
at this time. The subject property is developed with a commercial agricultural operation and
is located in an urbanized .area. No natural or wild areas exist near the project site. The
proposed subdivision includes grading, street improvements, and storm water treatment
facilities. All services are available to serve the proposed project. An initial study was
conducted for the project and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared.
Discussion: The proposed grading, street improvements, and storm water facilities will be
required to be constructed to City of Encinitas standards, including sediment and erosion
control during project construction. The burial of contaminated soils on the site has been
reviewed and accepted by the Engineering Services Department and the County Department
of Environmental Health (DEH) and will be conducted in accordance with DEH standards.
The MND for the proj ect includes mitigation measures regarding burial of the contaminated
soils. The mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval of this
resolution. The implementation of mitigation measures for burial of the contaminated soils,
standard construction practices and storm water treatment Best Management Practice (BMP)
measures will ensure that project will not impact any wildlife, fish, or their habitat.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the proposed subdivision is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially or avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat.
f That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious
public health problems.
Facts: The applicant has submitted service availability letters to indicate that the Water,
Sewer, Fire and School agencies can provide adequate service and utilities to the project
site.
Discussion: No evidence has been subrnitted to indicate that the proposed subdivision or
related improvements would cause a serious public health problem. Potential significant
effects on human health are avoided with mitigation measures required for the disposition or
remediation of on-:site soils.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the design of the subdivision can be
adequately serviced with necessary utilities and the project will not cause any serious
public health problems.

g. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed
subdivision. In this connection, the authorized agency may approve a map if it finds that
alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall
apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine
that the public at large has acquired easements through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision.
Facts: All easements of record are identified in the preliminary title report for the subject
property and shown on the proposed tentative map. No conflicts with easements of record
have been identified.
Discussion: No evidence has been discovered or submitted to suggest that the subdivision
would conflict with any easement for access through or use of the subject property.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the proposed subdivision or type of
improvements will not conflict with any easements for access through or use of the subject
property.

FINDINGS FOR DESIGN REVIEW
STANDARD: Section 23.08.080 of the Encinitas Municipal Code provides that an application
for a design review permit must be granted unless, based upon the information presented in
the application and during the Public Hearing, the authorized agency makes any of the
following regulatory conclusions:
a. The project design is inconsistent with the General Plan, a Specific Plan, or the provisions of
the Municipal Code.
Facts: The applicant proposed the subdivision of the subject property into 18 single-family
residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The subject Residential 3 (R-3) zone permits
single-family residential development. The project includes grading and street improvement
but home construction is not proposed at this time. The proposed subdivision includes a
request for density bonus in accordance with State density bonus law as per California
Government Code Section 65915., No specific plan is applicable to the subject property.
Discussion: With approval of the density bonus request as discussed above under "Findings
for a Tentative Map" the proposed design of the subdivision is consistent with the General
Plan and the provision of the Municipal Code. The residential development of the subject
property will be consistent with neighboring residential development. The proposed grading
will conform to the existing grade with balanced pads stepping up the slight slope of the
property. The minimum grading necessary to accomplish proper drainage and usable, flat
building areas is proposed. Primary view opportunities in the neighborhood are to the west
toward the Pacific Ocean. Properties with view opportunities across the project site sit
immediately adjacent to the subject property to the east and north sit at a slightly higher
elevation than the subject property. Each of the proposed lots provides ample room for
future development of single- family residences, including adequate outdoor private space.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that,the proposed project design is consistent
with the General Plan and provision ofthe MunicipalCode.
b: The project design is substantially inconsistent with the Design Guidelines.
Facts: The applicant proposed the subdivision ofthe subject property into 18 single-family
residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The project includes grading and street
improvement but home construction is not proposed at this time.
Discussion: Project grading proposes building pads stepped to conform to the overall
existing topography. Graded slopes and .proposed retaining. walls are relatively small.
Slopes would be planted with a combination of shIUbs and groundcover and retaining
walls would be textured-.and-coloLeQJQr-a~naturaLappearance.-Drainage~and--Stoml- w-atel" _
treatment measures are well designed and in conformance with applicable codes and
would be colored similarly to the native soil on the site. The project is conditioned to
require that future garage locations vary to avoid a street fayade of repetitive garage
doors. Provision of one- (1) story homes on selected lots and varied lot configuration and
PBD\KK\\g:\Resolutions\rpc06-0052ci07~33 - 8 .
setback arrangement would help to preserve views from neighboring properties. The
proj ect would have access to Balour Drive and Melba Road via the proposed private
streets. Pedestrian walkways constructed of brushed, colored concrete would be provided
on one side of each of the private streets and would connect to the City sidewalk system
and would provide the opportunity for and encourage pedestrian activity. No gates are
proposed for the private access roads. The proposed project entrances at the access
points would feature enhanced paving. Standard curb, gutter, and sidewalk would be
provided along the project's frontages on Balour Drive and Melba Road. The
construction of homes is not proposed with this application. However, to comply with
architectural siting guidelines, the project proposes that five (5) of the 18 lots be
restricted to future construction of single story homes (Lots 3, 6, 8, 12, and 16) no more
than 18 feet in height. Proposed lighting would be. consistent with typical lighting for
single- family residences. All lighting would be required to comply with the residential
lighting performance standards established by Section 30AO.OlOI of the Municipal Code.
Proposed landscaping for the project includes street trees for public and private street
frontages. Project entries would also be planted with shrubs and groundcover. Graded
slopes would also be. planted with a combination of shrubs and groundcover. All
landscaped areas would be watered by automatic irrigation systems. Yard areas would be
planted by future homeowners. The proposed plantings provide a cohesive landscape
theme for the project and appropriately screen proposed retaining walls and graded
slopes.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with the
Design Guidelines.
c. The project would adversely affect the health, safety, or general welfare of the community.
Facts: The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject 5.89-gross-acre property into 18
residential lots and two (2) private street lots. The surrounding neighborhood consists
primarily of residential development. All necessary public facilities and services are in
place to serve the project. The applicant has submitted letters of facility availability for the
project from fire, sewer, water, and elementary and high school service providers. The
project includes adequate storm water treatment facilities.
Discussion: The site design of the proposed residential development is consistent with the
subdivision design standards prescribed by the Municipal Code and complies with all
applicable development standards of the subject R-3 zone. Single-family residential
development is a permitted use in the subject zone. Because all public services and facilities
are available and the project is located in a developed, residential area, and includes
adequate storm-water treatment facilities, no adverse effects to the safety, health, and
general welfare of the community are anticipated. The City conducted an environmental
initial study which concluded that no significant environmental impacts would be associated
with the project as proposed and conditioned. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is adopted
with the adoption of this resolution of approval.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission finds that the project would not adversely affect the
public health, safety, or general welfare.
