YES, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.
I'VE DRIVEN BY IT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
I DROVE BY THE SITE, PARKED AND I WALKED THE SITE.
I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE MAPS.
OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. ALL RIGHT, AND THEN I ALSO VISITED THE SITE AND ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GET OUT AND WALK THE SITE.
OKAY MR. LARDY, IF YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE THE ITEM.
HERE TO GIVE THE PRESENTATION IS SENIOR PLANNER JASON GOFF.
THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
GOOD EVENING. THE SUBJECT OF THE DISCUSSION TONIGHT IS REGARDING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON AN APPROXIMATELY HALF ACRE LOT LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUENA VISTA ON THE WEST SIDE OF BUENA VISTA CIRCLE, BACKING TO THE BUENA VISTA LAGOON.
THE DEVELOPMENT AREA IS LOCATED WITHIN A PREVIOUSLY GRADED FLAT PAD AND IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPED WITH A 42 INCH TALL CHAIN LINK FENCE AND CONCRETE SIDEWALK AT THE TOP OF THE SLOPE, LOCATED BETWEEN THE GRADED PAD AND A SLOPE AREA LEADING DOWN TO THE BUENA VISTA LAGOON.
THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY IS R-4 RESIDENTIAL.
[00:05:04]
THE R-4 RESIDENTIAL LAND OR I'M SORRY.FURTHERMORE, GENERAL PLAN POLICY 2P7 ALLOWS ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON A LEGAL LOT THAT EXISTED AS OF OCTOBER 28TH, 2004. THE SUBJECT LOT WAS I'M SORRY, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED AS LOT FIVE OF THE BUENA VISTA GARDEN SUBDIVISION WAS LEGALLY CREATED ON AUGUST 4TH, 1948, AS PART OF FINAL MAP NUMBER 2492, AND THEREFORE DEVELOPMENT OF ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN. ADDITIONALLY, THE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IS ONE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITH A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 10,000FT².
THIS ZONING DESIGNATION IS IDENTIFIED AS R-1-10,000.
THE EXISTING LOT IS GREATER THAN 26,000FT² AND ONE FAMILY DWELLINGS ARE PERMITTED IN THE R-1 ZONE.
LASTLY, THE CITY, THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM, LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS. NO AMENDMENTS TO EITHER THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM, LAND USE OR ZONING ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT CONSISTS OF CONSTRUCTING A NEW 6108 SQUARE FOOT, TWO STORY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE WITH A TWO CAR GARAGE COVERED PATIO, SECOND LEVEL DECK, POOL AND SPA.
OF THE TOTAL LIVING AREA, 788FT² OF THE GROUND FLOOR LEVEL IS DEDICATED TO AN ATTACHED ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT, WHILE THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT IS SHOWN IN THE SLIDES AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION EXHIBITS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE ADU OR IS SUBJECT TO ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND WILL BE ACTED UPON BY THE CITY PLANNER UNDER A SEPARATE MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOLLOWING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION OR ACTION ON THE PRIMARY DWELLING.
EXCLUDING THE 788 SQUARE FOOT ADU, THE HABITABLE LIVING AREA OF THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE INCLUDES 3043FT² WITHIN THE GROUND FLOOR LEVEL AND 2277FT² WITHIN THE SECOND LEVEL, FOR A TOTAL OF 5320FT².
THE HEIGHT OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE IS 24FT AND THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT IS COVERING 21.8% OF THE LOT, WHERE A MAXIMUM OF 40% LOT COVERAGE IS ALLOWED. HERE'S A COLOR SITE PLAN SHOWING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THE FAR RIGHT HALF OF THE SLIDE AND THE REMAINING OPEN SPACE ON THE LEFT, HALF OF THE SLIDE. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COMPLIES WITH ALL RESIDENTIAL SETBACKS REQUIRED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE BECAUSE THE PROJECT'S LOCATION ON THE LAGOON AND WETLAND HABITAT WITHIN THAT AREA I'M SORRY, BECAUSE OF THE PROJECT'S LOCATION WITHIN THAT AREA, THE CITY'S HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIRES A MINIMUM 100 FOOT BUFFER BE ESTABLISHED FROM THE EDGE OF WETLAND TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
THE PROJECT OBSERVES A 100 FOOT BUFFER FROM WETLAND HABITAT LOCATED ALONG THE BUENA VISTA LAGOON.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN.
ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE THE PROJECT'S LOCATION IN THE COASTAL ZONE AND IT ALSO BEING LOCATED ADJACENT TO A LAGOON, A COASTAL STRING LINE METHOD OF SETBACK IS REQUIRED TO BE APPLIED TO THE REAR OF THE DWELLING, AND IN THIS CASE, NO PORTION OF THE PROPOSED DWELLING HAS BEEN SITED ANY FURTHER SEAWARD THAN THOSE ALLOWED BY A LINE DRAWN BETWEEN THE CLOSEST PORTIONS OF THE ADJACENT STRUCTURES ON THE ADJOINING PARCELS.
LASTLY, THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT AN IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION OF LATERAL ACCESS WAY FOR A FUTURE PUBLIC TRAIL ALONG THE BUENA VISTA LAGOON BE CONDITIONED AS PART OF ANY PROJECT LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE LAGOON.
THE PROJECT PROPOSES A 25 FOOT WIDE, IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION FOR LATERAL PUBLIC ACCESS.
ARCHITECTURALLY, THE NEW RESIDENCE REFLECTS A MODERN DESIGN AND IS ORIENTED ON THE LOT WITH A LARGE GLASS FRONT DOOR FACING BUENA VISTA CIRCLE AND ITS LIVING AREA OVERLOOKING THE BUENA VISTA LAGOON TO THE REAR.
ALL DECKS ARE ENCLOSED BY GLASS RAILINGS OR LANDSCAPED PLANTERS.
THE REQUIRED PERMITS FOR THIS PROJECT INCLUDE A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN PERMIT APPROVAL OF A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL ZONE.
APPROVAL OF A HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN PERMIT IS REQUIRED BECAUSE THE PROJECT WILL IMPACT 0.37 ACRES OF DISTURBED LANDS AS PART OF THE SITE GRADING AND 0.23 ACRES OF EUCALYPTUS WOODLAND AS PART OF THE WETLAND BUFFER RESTORATION, BOTH OF WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED AS HMP GROUP F HABITAT TYPES AND ARE SUBJECT TO PAYMENT OF A HABITAT
[00:10:01]
MITIGATION IN LIEU FEE AS CONDITION.IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND CEQA GUIDELINES, THE CITY PLANNERS DETERMINED THAT THIS PROJECT QUALIFIED FOR AN EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES 15-332.
ON MARCH 27TH, 2023 AND NOTICE OF INTENDED DECISION REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION WAS ADVERTISED AND POSTED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE FOR A TEN DAY NOTICING PERIOD. NO COMMENTS OR APPEALS WERE RECEIVED DURING THE NOTICING PERIOD AND CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 2154 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE.
THE CITY PLANNERS WRITTEN DECISION IS FINAL.
IN CONCLUSION, THE PROJECT WAS ANALYZED FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN.
AS SUCH, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN PERMIT FOR THE MARTIN RESIDENCE BASED ON THE FINDINGS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS CONTAINED THEREIN.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AS EXHIBIT ONE, AND THIS WILL CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION, AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, I'M AVAILABLE. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO HERE TONIGHT AND IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION, MR. GOFF. ARE THERE ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS OF STAFF? COMMISSIONER MEENES.
YEAH, JASON, COULD YOU CLARIFY FOR US AND EXPAND A LITTLE BIT AS TO THE OPEN SPACE RESTORATION, WHAT THAT WILL CONSIST OF? SURE. SO THE SITE DOES CONTINUE DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE EXHIBIT IS THE SITE PLAN OF THE SITE SHOWING THE ENTIRE LOT TO THE BUENA VISTA LAGOON.
THE AREA TO THE LEFT OF THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE PAGE REFLECTS THE AREA OF 100 FOOT WETLAND SETBACK AND IS BEING PLACED IN OPEN SPACE.
THE SLOPE AREA IS REQUIRED TO RESTORE ANY OF THE NON-NATIVE PLANT SPECIES THAT ARE IN THERE AND REPLACE WITH COASTAL NATIVE PLANT SPECIES.
SO PART OF THAT DOES REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE EUCALYPTUS WOODLAND THAT IS IN THE BACK OF THAT AREA.
THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT QUESTION.
THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? YES, COMMISSIONER LAFFERTY.
IT SAYS THAT THIS PROJECT WILL PAY INCLUSIONARY HOUSING IN-LIEU FEES.
SO WHAT ARE THEY PAYING FOR AND HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO BE? THEY'D BE SUBJECT TO THE NEW SQUARE FOOT FEE.
I DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T HAVE THAT CALCULATION RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, BUT FOR A PROJECT THAT IS OF THIS SIZE, SO PROJECTS THAT ARE SIX OR LESS ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE PAYING FOR THAT FEE, AND SO THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE ONE UNIT BASED UPON THEIR SQUARE FOOTAGE, BASED ON SQUARE FOOTAGE.
OKAY, AND THE OTHER THING, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE PAYMENT OF HABITAT MITIGATION FEES.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THOSE TWO AREAS THAT ARE BEING MITIGATED AND WHAT THAT FEE MIGHT ALSO BE? YEAH. SO IT'S A MITIGATION.
IT'S CALLED AN IN-LIEU MITIGATION FEE.
IT'S OUTLINED UNDER THE HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN.
SO THE DEVELOPMENT PAD, THE UPPER PORTION WHERE THE HOUSE IS BEING PROPOSED IS ALREADY A PREVIOUSLY GRADED DEVELOPS OR PREVIOUSLY GRADED PAD AREA HAS NON-NATIVE DISTURBED HABITAT AREAS IN THERE.
IT'S IDENTIFIED AS A GROUP OF HABITAT.
THE AREA WITHIN THE OPEN SPACE AREA HAS EUCALYPTUS WOODLAND THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SITE.
THAT'S ALSO CONSIDERED A GROUP F HABITAT UNDER THE HMP.
OKAY, AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS, THERE'S A PROPOSED GRADING.
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A GRADING PERMIT.
IT SAYS THAT THE QUANTITIES INCLUDE TEN YARDS OF CUT AND 1200 CUBIC YARDS OF INPUT IMPORT.
WHAT'S ALL THE DIRT FOR? THAT'S TO I MEAN, I CAN HAVE THE CITY ENGINEER COME UP AND FURTHER ELABORATE ON THAT BUT THEY'RE RAISING THE PAD SLIGHTLY TO GET POSITIVE DRAINAGE BACK TO BUENA VISTA CIRCLE AND ALSO TO CREATE THE AREAS ON SITE TO HAVE THE WATER.
[00:15:05]
GO THROUGH THE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, WATER FILTRATION BASINS THAT ARE LOCATED PRIMARILY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SITE AT THE TOP OF THE SLOPE.OKAY. I THINK THAT'S IT. THANKS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? YES, COMMISSIONER KAMENJARIN.
COULD YOU GO BACK TO A SLIDE? ONE OF THE OVERVIEWS I'M INTERESTED IN WHERE THE PROPERTY LINE IS AND WHERE THE TRAIL EASEMENT WOULD BE.
YEAH, SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE TRAIL EASEMENT.
THE TRAIL EASEMENT IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT HAND OF THE SLIDE.
MY CURSOR IS OUTLINED IN THAT AREA RIGHT NOW.
THE TRAIL WOULD BE A FUTURE TRAIL THAT WOULD OCCUR AT A FUTURE DATE.
THERE IS NO DESIGN FOR THAT TRAIL.
THE COASTAL LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM ONLY REQUIRES THAT WE SECURE THE EASEMENT AT THIS TIME.
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE DONE ALONG THE LAGOON AND THE BEACH AREAS, AND WHERE ON THIS CHART IS THE PROPERTY LINE? I'M SORRY. THE PROPERTY LINE IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE RIGHT HERE.
NO, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THAT.
I'M INTERESTED IN THE PROPERTY LINE.
THE LAGOON. LET ME GO TO THE VERY BEGINNING.
IS THIS ANSWER? IS THIS ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER? LOCATING THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG THE LAGOON.
YOU HAD ACTUALLY I THINK YOU HAD A BETTER LIKE A DRONE PHOTOGRAPH ABOUT FOUR SLIDES IN.
WHERE IS THE PROPERTY LINE TOWARD THE LAGOON? THE WAY THE NATURE OF THIS SLIDE WAS NOT ALLOWING ME TO FULLY SHOW THE DETAILS OF THE SLIDE.
SO I CUT IT OFF AT THE END AND RELIED ON THE OTHER EXHIBIT THAT I WAS SHOWING YOU.
SO THEN SHALL I PRESUME THAT THE PROPERTY LINE ISN'T EVEN TOWARD THE LAGOON IS FURTHER TO THE LEFT OF THE SLIDE? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
OKAY, AND THEN LET ME SEE IF I CAN.
THERE YOU GO, AND THEN APPROXIMATELY HOW FAR IS THAT FROM THEIR POOL, SAY, TO THE PROPERTY LINE? APPROXIMATELY 100FT.
I'M SORRY? APPROXIMATELY 100FT.
OKAY, AND THEN WHAT IS A PROPOSED BIOFILTRATION ZONE? THE BIOFILTRATION.
THE BIOFILTRATION ZONES ARE AREAS ON THE SITE WHERE STORMWATER IS RUN THROUGH THROUGH BASINS TO CLEAN TO CLEAN THE WATER BEFORE IT GOES INTO THE OFF THE SITE, AND WHEN YOU SAY PROPOSED, WHY IS IT TENTATIVE? I'M NOT AWARE OF WHAT YOU MEAN BY TENTATIVE.
THERE HAVEN'T BEEN CONSTRUCTED YET.
OKAY. SO THEN THIS BIOFILTRATION ZONE WOULD BE BUILT BEFORE THE HOME IS COMPLETED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR? OKAY. I HAD A QUESTION, TOO, IS I DON'T HAVE THE BIG PLANS WITH ME.
I WAS TRYING TO SEE WHERE THAT THE AMOUNT OF DIRT THAT WAS BEING MOVED, BUT, YOU KNOW, CONDITIONS NUMBER 22 AND 23 OF IT TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE WITH THE GRADING, AND YOU MENTIONED MR. GOFF THAT IT WAS A PREVIOUSLY GRADED LOT.
I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY ALL THESE CONDITIONS ON IT? IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE JUST BASICALLY ADDING IT LOOKS LIKE MINIMAL CUT AND THEN AND IT'S VERY YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT THE SMALL PLANS.
RIGHT? AND SO THEY'RE BASICALLY RAISING IT TO HAVE IT SLOPE THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SO I WAS JUST KIND OF CURIOUS WHY THERE'S, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE CUTTING SO LITTLE AND SO PREVIOUSLY GRADE LOT, WHY THEY NEED TO GO THROUGH THESE THINGS WITH, YOU KNOW, THESE CULTURAL THINGS AND ARCHEOLOGICAL ISSUES AND ALL THAT.
[00:20:04]
WE NOW HAVE STRICTER WATER REGULATIONS OR STORMWATER REGULATIONS, AND THESE ARE CONDITIONS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH OUR TRIBAL CULTURAL GUIDELINES, AND SO THOSE ARE STANDARD CONDITIONS WITH WITH EARTHWORK IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS A POTENTIAL TO FIND ARTIFACTS OR OTHER ITEMS. OKAY, BECAUSE ONLY TEN CUBIC YARDS, YOU WOULDN'T THINK YOU'D FIND A WHOLE LOT.THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT TO CUT THERE, BUT.
WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? OKAY. NO. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, AND THEN LET'S SEE.
WE'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HASN'T FILED A SPEAKER SLIP THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON THIS ITEM? NO, THERE ISN'T. OKAY.
SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY ON THIS ITEM AND SEE.
DO ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT OR THE STAFF? OKAY, SEEING NONE, WE'LL NOW OPEN COMMISSION DISCUSSION WITH ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
YES, I THINK THIS IS A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD APPLICATION.
ON THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUE, THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY VIEW ISSUES THAT HAS NOT BEEN RAISED, AND THAT'S ALWAYS A POTENTIAL ISSUE WHEN WE HAVE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMITS BUT THAT'S A NON-ISSUE HERE.
ACCESS IS ALSO A TYPICAL ISSUE, BUT I'M HEARTENED BY THE STAFF REPORT AND THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION, WHICH WOULD IN FACT IN EFFECT IN MY MIND, ENHANCE ACCESS BY THE DEDICATION OF A 25 FOOT LATERAL ACCESS EASEMENT.
SO RATHER THAN BEING CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET TO THE LAGOON, I THINK WITH THIS, IT'LL ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE SITUATION OVER TIME WITH THE DEDICATION AND THE EVENTUAL PUT IN A TRAIL OR SOMETHING THERE.
SO I THINK THIS IS A BETTERMENT.
SO I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT WHATSOEVER.
SO I DON'T SEE ANY REASON NOT TO SUPPORT THIS APPLICATION.
IT SEEMS VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND VERY SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE BEFORE US.
OH, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS LIKE TO COMMENT? YES. COMMISSIONER LAFFERTY.
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A NEW COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THAT IS NOT COMPLETELY APPROVED WITH THE PLANNING WITH THE COASTAL COMMISSION, BUT I UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE WERE THE FLOOD ZONES THAT WERE FOR THE FUTURE SEA LEVEL RISE THAT I HAVEN'T QUITE FOUND IN THIS DOCUMENT OR MUCH INFORMATION ON THIS.
SO I DO FEEL THAT USING THE SAME STRING LINE AS HISTORICALLY.
MANDATED IS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT SHORTSIGHTED, BUT I HAVE NO RECOURSE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.
SO I WAS HOPING THAT'S NOT THE INTENT, BUT I'M GOING TO LET IT GO.
I DO FEEL THAT SINCE 1948, THE HABITAT WILL BE DISTURBED, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S VERY MINIMAL AND YOUR DILIGENCE HAS BEEN DONE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THOSE.
SO I DO FEEL WE COULD APPROVE THIS.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? COMMISSIONER KAMENJARIN.
I THINK IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ARCHITECT.
MY ONLY CONCERN WAS THE PROXIMITY TO THE LAGOON.
THAT WHICH MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL.
MAKES IT POTENTIALLY A PROBLEM WITH, YOU KNOW, SHALL WE SAY, RUNOFF OR WHATEVER, BUT, YOU KNOW, IF STAFF IS COMFORTABLE THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED, THEN I CAN SUPPORT THIS PROJECT, AND ALSO TOO, IT'S A VERY NICE LOOKING PROJECT.
[00:25:01]
GREAT LOOKING PROJECT. SO CONGRATULATE THE APPLICANT AND ALSO THE ARCHITECT AND IT'S A VERY NICE DESIGN.SO I WOULD DEFINITELY ALSO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
OH, I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER MEENES, DID YOU HAVE.
YEAH, I WILL ADD, I THINK THE PROJECT IS AN OUTSTANDING PROJECT.
I THINK GIVEN SOME OF THE OTHER HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE LOCATION OF THIS ONE, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS OF THE PROJECT I THINK IS OUTSTANDING AND I SUPPORT IT AS WELL.
SO THEREFORE I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
GREAT. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MEENES.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MEENES.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THAT? SECOND BY COMMISSIONER STINE.
SO SEEING NO FURTHER COMMENTS, PLEASE VOTE.
OKAY, AND THE VOTING MACHINE WORKED.
YAY. FIRST TIME WE DIDN'T HAVE TO RESET THAT.
THAT'S ALWAYS NOTEWORTHY, AND SO THE MOTION CARRIES BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 0.
SO WE'LL NOW CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE APPLICANT.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL SITE.
OKAY. THAT'S OUTSIDE THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY, BUT I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A YES ON THAT.
SO THIS CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC HEARING OF TONIGHT'S THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF TONIGHT'S MEETING.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS?
[PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER REPORTS]
YES. COMMISSIONER LAFFERTY.THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE HAD THEIR LAST MEETING ON MAY 25TH OF 2023.
THEY DID APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED WHAT IS PROPOSED TO BE NOW AN APPENDIX TO THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN AND THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT ARE HELPING TO EXPEDITE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO CAME UP WITH THE CONSULTANT, CAME UP WITH ACTUALLY SEVEN DIFFERENT TYPOLOGIES, ARCHITECTURAL TYPOLOGIES, VERY REMINISCENT OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THE TWO THERE'S A SPANISH REVIVAL.
THERE'S CRAFTSMAN, AMERICAN MERCANTILE, VICTORIAN COLONIAL, CAPE COD, A TRADITIONAL MODERN WHICH IS MODELED AFTER THE ARMY, NAVY ACADEMY AND A CALIFORNIA CONTEMPORARY, WHICH IS MODELED MORE AFTER SOMETHING LIKE THE BANK OF AMERICA DOWNTOWN.
SO DEFINITELY TRYING TO REALLY WORK WITH OUR LOCAL HISTORY HERE TO BE ABLE TO CREATE NEWER STRUCTURES AND HAVE THAT HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO UPSCALE.
I THINK THE PACKAGE AS A WHOLE IS VERY.
VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND HOLISTIC IN ITS APPROACH.
I THINK SOME OF THE IF YOU GO BACK TO THE MEETING, YOU'LL NOTICE SOME OF THE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO PULL SOME OF THE STYLES OUT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS TOO MANY, BUT IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, THEY'RE ACTUALLY TRANSITIONING CERTAIN.
YOU KNOW, THE WAY THE BARRIO PLAN WORKS WHERE IT HAS DIFFERENT ZONES, AND SO THESE BECOME TRANSITIONS TO THOSE ZONES, WHICH HELPS TO UNIFY THE REST OF THE AREAS.
SO I THINK THE OVERALL PLAN IS REALLY TRYING HARD WITH THIS APPENDIX TO MOVE TO A MUCH MORE COHESIVE OR MORE UNIFIED IN A SENSE, EVEN WITH THE DIFFERENT ECLECTIC KIND OF STYLES THAT CARLSBAD IS SO NORMALLY HAVING.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW WE WERE TOLD IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE 19TH OF JULY, SO BE HERE OR HOPEFULLY YOU GET TO WEIGH IN AND THE COUNCIL REVIEW, I GUESS THE END OF AUGUST.
SO AND THEN IT HAS TO GO TO COASTAL COMMISSION, BUT THAT IT WAS A REALLY INFORMATIVE VERY VERY HELPFUL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE AS A VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN, BUT ALSO HOW TO, IN A SENSE, CREATE SOME TRANSITIONAL BUILDING TYPES TO BE ABLE TO HELP THAT SORT OF REALLY BIG HOUSE, REALLY BIG KIND OF STRUCTURE NEXT TO THESE REALLY TINY LITTLE
[00:30:10]
THINGS. SO REALLY THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT'S TRYING TO HOPEFULLY BRING TO THE TABLE AND HOPEFULLY IT'LL HELP OUR DEVELOPMENT IN OUR REALLY, YOU KNOW, BUSY DOWNTOWN.THANKS, AND ALSO, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER LAFFERTY, FOR YOUR HARD WORK, AND I KNOW THE THAT'S VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR HEART AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SO YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THEY HAD SEVEN DIFFERENT DESIGNS ON THAT, RIGHT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT IT IS THEY'RE TRUE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND THEY'RE NOT KIND OF CONGLOMERATES OR MISHMASH, AND HE'S REALLY WORKED HARD, AND I KNOW THAT OUR PLANNERS WILL APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, VERY SPECIFIC, BUT ALSO VERY FORM BASED. SO THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE SELECTION BETWEEN LIKE A YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE CREATING AN ENTRY, YOU HAVE A FRONT STOOP OR A STOREFRONT OR A BALCONY OR, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THERE'S CHECKLISTS THAT ARE GOING TO ACCOMPANY THIS TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR REVIEW PROCESS, TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS GETTING TRUE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND ALSO COHESIVE STYLES.
SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T SORT OF SEEN BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ONCE THAT CHECKLIST COMES OUT, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL TOOL TO OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO USE IT, NOT US BUT HOPEFULLY WE GET A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK OF IT IN JULY.
GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.
IT'S SOMETHING YOU PUT A GREAT DEAL OF WORK IN, SO IT'S VERY ENCOURAGING TO HEAR YOUR POSITIVE REPORT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT COMING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND I GUESS YOU SAID IN JULY.
IN JULY, WONDERFUL. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU AGAIN.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS? YES, COMMISSIONER HUBINGER.
THAT REALLY SOUNDS INTERESTING.
ARE THESE GOING TO BE ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS? THEY ARE, AND NOT TO GET TOO INTO THE DETAILS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA THAT IT WILL BE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS AND THAT'S THE TYPE OF STANDARDS THAT CAN BE ENFORCEABLE. SO THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS.
YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF CHOICE TOO, RIGHT? YEAH. SO, YEAH, I GET IT.
OKAY. I'M JUST WONDERING. SO THANKS FOR THAT.
THE DESIGNS SOUND REALLY COOL.
THEY'RE REALLY INTERESTING, RIGHT? TO BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE, LIKE SEVEN DIFFERENT CONCEPTS.
WELL, AND IT WON'T BE EVERYWHERE.
IT'S VERY SPECIFIC TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY'RE GOING IN WHICH IS WHICH IS I THINK GOING TO BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR THE PLANNERS, BUT ALSO REALLY HELPFUL FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL.
IT'S SORT OF AN EXPECTED OUTCOME, AND I THINK THAT WHAT'S INTERESTING, TOO, IS THE THIS WAS A GRANT, CORRECT? THIS WAS ALL IT'S NOT.
SO WE ARE STILL IN A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ACCEPTING COMMENTS, I BELIEVE, UNTIL JUNE 19TH , AND THEN WE'LL BE PACKAGING ALL OF THAT UP AND BRINGING BOTH ITEMS, TWO SEPARATE ITEMS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON JULY 19TH, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL ME.
GOOD. GOOD, AND AGAIN, THANK YOU AGAIN.
VERY, VERY ENCOURAGED BY THE REPORT.
SO GOOD, AND COMMISSIONER SABELLICO.
WELL, I JUST WANTED TO REPORT OUT THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE RECENTLY HAD ITS HOUSE OF ORIGIN DEADLINE, WHICH MEANS ALL THE BILLS THAT WERE INTRODUCED EITHER HAD TO WELL, THEY HAD TO PASS THE HOUSE THAT THEY WERE INTRODUCED IN IN ORDER TO CONTINUE.
SO ONE OF THE ONES THAT A LOT OF THE CITIES HAVE BEEN TRACKING IS SB423, WHICH EXTENDS THE PROVISIONS OF SB35, WHICH WE'RE ALL WE'RE ALL TRAINED ON AND WELL VERSED IN, I'M SURE TO IT EXTENDS IT BEYOND THE CURRENT SUNSET DATE OF 2026.
SO I JUST WANTED TO APPRIZE MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS OF THAT DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO IT IS PRIDE MONTH.
THANK YOU, AND THEN LASTLY TO MR. LARDY AND I WERE AT THE LAST NIGHT'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHERE THE WORK PLAN FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION CAME FORWARD ON THAT, AND THAT DID PASS.
SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS THERE, AND THE LAST ONE, TOO, IS JUST ON A OTHER NOTE, TOO, IS THAT WE ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION JUST IN BRIEFINGS AND EVEN ON TONIGHT'S PROJECT WAS AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.
[00:35:01]
WELL, WE'VE JUST ON OUR OWN SITE, WE LIVE IN A SMALL HOUSE ON A VERY LARGE CORNER LOT, AND WE'VE JUST FINISHED CONSTRUCTION ON A FREESTANDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.IT WILL BE OCCUPIED AT THE END OF THIS WEEKEND.
I'VE ACTUALLY KIND OF THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE IF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED, JUST DOING A LITTLE SHOW AND TELL, IF YOU WILL, AS AN AGENDIZED ITEM, JUST KIND OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO THROUGH IT FROM START TO FINISH AND BE PART OF THE GREAT UNWASHED PUBLIC AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE THINGS FROM START TO FINISH.
SO BUT YEAH, IF THERE'S INTEREST IN THAT.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. LET'S SEE, IS THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE CITY PLANNER?
[CITY PLANNER REPORT]
YEAH, JUST A COUPLE OF HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS. SO THE NEXT MEETING, JUNE 21ST, WE WILL HAVE THE HOPE APARTMENTS ITEM, AND SO THAT WILL BE A IT'S A LARGER PROJECT WITHIN THE VILLAGE.WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING NO ITEMS ON JULY 5TH.
SO I ANTICIPATE THAT MEETING WILL BE CANCELED GIVEN THE HOLIDAY THE DAY BEFORE, AND THEN JULY 19TH, WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS, INCLUDING THE CITYWIDE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS AND THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS.
COMING UP SOON ON CITY COUNCIL, THE [INAUDIBLE] RESIDENCE IS GOING TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 20TH, AND THEN WE HAVE THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN PROGRESS REPORT GOING TO CITY COUNCIL ON JULY 19TH.
LOOKING FAR AHEAD, AUGUST, DO WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE MEETINGS IN AUGUST? WE DON'T, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE A CLEARER PICTURE OF THAT IN THE NEXT MEETING.
WE DO HAVE A FEW ITEMS IN AUGUST, AND THEN THE FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER IS ALSO A HOLIDAY WEEK.
SO WE PROBABLY WOULD LOOK AT TRYING TO HAVE TWO OF THOSE THREE MEETINGS, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY CALENDAR CONCERNS, PLEASE LET US KNOW, AND WE'LL WE'RE TRYING TO GET A CLEARER PICTURE OF AUGUST NOW. THANK YOU.
[CITY ATTORNEY REPORT]
OKAY. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY? NO, SIR. OKAY.ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT, WE WILL ADJOURN TONIGHT'S MEETING.
