48 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the New Encinitas Community
Advisory Board of the City of Encinitas that the Design Review
Permit for 90-025-DR for construction of 3 model homes, the sales
trailer and parking area, landscaping and fencing for the
Warmington Homes 44 lot subdivision on Crest Drive is hereby
approved subject to the following findings:
A. The project design is consistent with the General Plan,
a Specific Plan or the provisions of this Code.
Evidence:
This 44 lot single family subdivision was approved by the City
of Encinitas in accordance with the regulations of the Zoning
Code and in conformance with the existing and proposed General
Plan at that time. The CAB and Planning Commission found the
project to be consistent with appropriate regulations in
effect at that time. Since the project did receive previous
approval, it is considered to be a pipeline project pursuant
to City Council policy.
8 B. The project design is substantially consistent with the
Design Review Guidelines.
Evidence:
The project design is proposed to be in conformance with the
original Design Review approval of the project and is
substantially consistent with Design Review Guidelines as it
incorporates design elements recommended in the Design Review
Guidelines and ordinance, by utilizing buffer landscaping and
fencing between the project and existing commercial and
residential development in the area; the model homes are not
changed from the original homes approved in Design Review
Permit 88-112-DR and they preserve some significant views
enjoyed by nearby properties; the models and the sales trailer
reflect an acceptable level of design appearance by offering
considerable landscaping and compatible sales trailer
architectural design and color scheme with the surrounding
area and the approved subdivision; the models and the sales
trailer and parking area have been designed so as to consider
the privacy needs of the abutting residential area; and the
project otherwise substantially conforms with the City's
adopted design criteria.
8 LN/CAB15-200wp
8 C. The project would adversely affect the health, safety or
general welfare of the community.
Evidence:
The project would not adversely affect the health, safety or
general welfare of the community and the Planning Commission
approved a Negative Declaration for the subdivision and the
grading on May 9, 1989. Additionally, the project has all
required utility connection approvals and is being developed
within City standards, therefore, it again should not
adversely affect the health, safety or general welfare of the
community.
D. The project would tend to cause the surrounding
neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance or
value.
Evidence:
The proposal reflects a compatible level of design appearance
in conformance with the Design Review Guidelines and Design
Review Ordinance and thus will not be materially detrimental
to surrounding properties.
8 E. The portion of the building outside of the standard
envelope maintains some of the significant views enjoyed
by residents of nearby properties.
Evidence:
The roof line on Plans 1 and 2 exceeds the 26 foot maximum by
6 inches. Chimneys are about 30 feet high. The roofline of
Plan 3 is 25 feet but the chimney is about 2 feet above the
26' foot height limit.
Views of the house at the end of Crest Drive (627 crest) and
those at the end of Orangetree may be only minimally impacted
by structures on the site.
F. The building is compatible in bulk and mass with
buildings on neighboring properties.
Evidence:
The two story Oakmont structures have more visible bulk and
mass than the one story residences along the subdivision entry
on Crest Drive, however, the zoning allows for two story and
the project has incorporated considerable facade plane off-
set and roof plane off-set into the architectural style of the
8 LN/CAB15-200wp
8 structures in conformance with the Design Review Ordinance.
That portion of the structures on Plans 1 and 2 that exceeds
the 26 foot maximum building height envelope is minimal, only
6 inches, and does not substantially block view of the
surrounding properties.
G. The proposed project is in conformance with section
23.08.76 of the Design Review Ordinance, since the
exterior materials for the project have been coordinated
to be compatible with each other and the surrounding
area, and the proposed structures are preserving views
to the extent possible, and the size proposed for the
structures is comparable with standard two story single
family dwelling units in the Encinitas area in the same
zone.
fr. The proposed project is in conformance with section
23.08.077 of the Design Review Ordinance, since the
landscaping proposed will help create privacy for the
individual lots, and the neighboring residential and
commercial properties, the project will be landscaping
15' outside the north property line overlooking the
Target shopping center, and extensive street tree
planting is proposed that enhances the character of the
community.
8 1. The impact of the proposed development on the site and
the surrounding area is being mitigated by measures that
have been designed into the project, and a Negative
Declaration was Certified by the Planning commission on
April 28, 1989 for the subdivision and the grading.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that the Design Review Permit is approved
with the following conditions:
1. This approval will expire in two years, on April 16,
1992, at 5:00 p.m. unless the conditions have been met
or an extension hjas been approved by the Authorized
Agency.
2. The project is approved as submitted on the site plans
dated received by the City on February 5, 1990, and the
landscape and irrigation plans dated January 22, 1990,
on file in the Department of Planning and Community
Development, and shall not be altered without Community
Advisory Board review and approval.
