V. Subsurface Exploration
As part of the site evaluation, we performed four exploratory subsurface soil borings to evaluate the underlying soil materials. Our exploratory test borings were advanced using a combination of the track mounted limited access drill rig, with continuous flight auger with a 140-pound drive hammer (Borings I and 2), as well as portable, 5-inch diameter hand auger equipment (Borings 3 and 4 ). Our exploratory borings were performed on November 28, 2003, at the locations shown on the attached Geologic/Geotechnical Map, Plate 1. A log of the soil conditions encountered within the individual borings is presented below:

CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM # B.2.
STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Gregory Wade, City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 9, 2022
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Continued Public Hearing: Request for DRP and SDP to Demolish a Single-Family Residence, Construct a
Replacement Two-Story, Single-Family Residence with an
Attached Two-Car Garage, and Perform Associated Site
Improvements at 211 Ocean St. (DRP21-004/SDP21-004;
Applicants: Ford and Cassie Blakely; APN: 263-042-05;
Resolution 2021-128)
BACKGROUND:
The Applicants, Ford and Cassie Blakely, are requesting City Council approval of a Development Review Permit (DRP) and Structure Development Permit (SDP) to demolish a single-family residence, construct a replacement two-story, single-family residence with an attached two-car garage, and perform associated site improvements at 211 Ocean Street. The 8,360 square-foot lot is located within the Medium Residential (MR) Zone and the Scaled Residential Overlay Zone (SROZ).
The project was originally heard at the November 10, 2021, City Council meeting.
Concerns were raised by members of the City Council and the public regarding the project’s conformance with the development review criteria set forth in Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 17.68.040.F, specifically with respect to potential adverse impacts to a neighboring property due to a proposed second story deck at the southeast corner of the proposed residence. After receiving public testimony and evidence concerning the project, the Council continued the public hearing to a datecertain Council meeting on January 12, 2022 to allow the Applicants the opportunity to address the noted concerns.
The Applicants presented a revised design to the City Council on January 12, 2022, which included shifting the massing of the southernmost portion of the second story to the west.
City Councilmembers maintained concerns with the size and location of the modified second-floor deck located on the southeast corner of the proposed residence. At the February 9, 2022
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely Residence
request of the Applicants, the City Council voted to continue the project a second time to the February 9, 2022 City Council meeting to allow further design refinement.
The issue before the Council is whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Applicants’ revised request as contained in Resolution 2021-128 (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION:
The Applicants submitted the second revised design to the Community Development Department on February 1, 2022. The revised project plans are provided in Attachment
2. The second revised design maintains the reconfigured second floor plan presented to the City Council on January 12, 2022, which resulted in massing outside of the original story poled envelope that was noticed to the neighbors and considered by the View Assessment Commission (VAC) based on a View Claim filed by the neighbor to the east of the subject property at 201 Ocean Street. Therefore, pursuant to Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 17.63.040(A), the Applicants continue to request that the City Council waive the requirement for that new portion of massing to go through the Structure Development Permit (SDP) process (Attachment 3).
The second revised design includes a modified Roof Plan, which would reduce the portion of the second-floor deck that would be covered. The exhibit below includes the second revised Roof Plan as well as the previously proposed designs for reference.
Feb 2022 Roof Plan
February 9, 2022
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely Residence
The Applicants propose to maintain the 3:12 slope roof design but jog the main ridge over the southernmost portion of the second story by approximately 3 feet to the west and lower the ridge from 100.75 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) to 100.02 feet above MSL.
The change would pull back the roof over the second-story deck by approximately 8 feet from the previous design presented to the City Council on January 12, 2022. The exhibit below includes the second revised South Elevation as well as the previously proposed designs for reference.
Story poles have been revised and certified to show the proposed changes. The updated story pole certificate is included in Attachment 4. Conditions from the Planning, Engineering, and Fire Departments have been incorporated into the updated Resolution of Approval (Attachment 1).
In conclusion, the proposed project, as conditioned, could be found to be consistent with the Zoning regulations and the General Plan. Should the Council determine that the findings can be made to approve the project, the SDP will be approved concurrently with the DRP.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:
The project was originally heard at the November 10, 2021 City Council meeting. Notice of the November 10, 2021 City Council Public Hearing published in the Union Tribune more than 10 days prior to the public hearing. The same public notice was mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the proposed project site on October 28, 2021. At the November 10, 2021 City Council Meeting, the project was continued, date-certain, to the January 12, 2022 City Council Meeting. At the January 12, 2022 City Council Meeting, the project was continued, date-certain, to the February 9, 2022 City Council Meeting. Since both continuances were date-certain, no additional public notices have been published or mailed.
As of the date of preparation of this Staff Report, Staff has not received any additional correspondence from neighbors or interested parties in support of, or in opposition to, the proposed project.
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures.

Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Solana Beach, California, does resolve as follows:
I. That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
II. That the request for a DRP, SDP, and SDP Waiver to demolish a single-family residence, construct a replacement two-story, single-family residence with an attached two-car garage, and perform associated site improvements at 211 Ocean Street, Solana Beach, is conditionally approved based upon the following Findings and subject to the following Conditions:
III. FINDINGS
A. The proposed structure exceeds 16 feet in height above the existing grade, therefore, the project must comply with all of the View Assessment requirements of SBMC Chapter 17.63 and the Applicant was required to complete the SDP process. The Story Pole Height Certification was certified by a licensed land surveyor on June 18, 2021 showing a maximum building height of 25.00 feet (100.75 MSL) above the existing grade. Notices were mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site establishing a deadline to file for View Assessment by August 12, 2021. The City received one application for View Assessment from the property owner (Asli Carome c/o Julie Hamilton, Law Office of Julie Hamilton; “Claimant”) of 201 Ocean Street, which is located immediately east of the subject property.
The project was presented to the View Assessment Commission (VAC) on October 19, 2021, and the VAC made a unanimous recommendation of approval with conditions. The recommended conditions included reduction in height of the proposed chimney by 9 feet (14 feet above grade) and reduction of the vertical height up from the sill of the east-facing window above the main bedroom bathtub to 2 feet, 4 inches.
The Applicants reflected the recommended conditions of approval in the project plans presented to the City Council on November 10, 2021. An additional change provided by the Applicants since the VAC hearing was a 12-15 foot tall hedge (Pittosporum “Silver Sheen”) located along the eastern side of the proposed second-floor covered deck in an effort to address privacy concerns raised by the Claimant. The story pole string lines between poles 16 and 17 were lowered after the VAC hearing to reflect the reduction in chimney height. The change was within the envelope of the originally noticed story poles, therefore, a second noticing period was not required.
Following the VAC hearing, the Claimant’s representative indicated disagreement with the VAC’s recommendation and requested that the City Council consider the View Claim.
The project, as modified as a recommendation of the VAC, was presented to the City Council on November 10, 2021. The City Council raised concerns Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
regarding the project’s conformance with the development review criteria set forth in Solana Beach Municipal Code (SBMC) Section 17.68.040.F, specifically with respect to adverse impacts on the privacy of a neighboring property due to a proposed second story deck. After receiving public testimony and evidence concerning the project, the Council voted to continue the public hearing, date-certain, to the January 12, 2022 City Council Meeting, as requested by the Applicants, to allow the them the opportunity to address the noted concerns.
The Applicants proposed a revised project to the City Council on January 12, 2022, which included a shift in second story massing outside of the original story pole envelope. The Applicants requested that the City Council waive the requirement to repeat the SDP and story pole process, which was supported by the adjacent property owner at 223 Ocean Street, who would be most impacted by the change. The revised design did not adequately address the concerns raised previously, and the City Council voted, at the request of the Applicants, to continue the public hearing to a date-certain February 9, 2022 City Council Meeting.
The Applicant proposed a second revised project to the City Council on February 9, 2022, which maintained the previously proposed shift in the second story massing outside of the original story pole envelope, and the Applicants continued their request to waive the requirements of the SDP process for that portion of the proposed structure.
In accordance with Chapter 17.63 (Structure Development Permit) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council hear by waives the requirement for story pole installation and an updated SDP notice given the unlikelihood of view impairment for the new massing located outside of the original story pole envelope.
As a condition of approval, a height certification prepared by a licensed land surveyor will be required prior to the framing inspection certifying that the maximum height of the proposed addition will not exceed 25.00 feet above the proposed grade or 100.75 feet above MSL, which is the maximum proposed structure height reflected on the project plans.
In accordance with Chapter 17.63 (Structure Development Permit) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
I. The Applicant for the Structure Development Permit has made a reasonable attempt to resolve the view impairment issues with the person(s) requesting view assessment. Written evidence of a good faith voluntary offer to meet and discuss view issues, or of a good faith voluntary offer to submit the matter to mediation, is hereby deemed to be a reasonable attempt to resolve the view impairment issues.
Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
Written accounts and oral testimony at the public meeting showed that there had been communication between the Applicants and the Claimant.
II. The proposed structure does not significantly impair a view from public property (parks, major thoroughfares, bike ways, walkways, equestrian trails) which has been identified in the city’s general plan, local coastal program, or city designated viewing areas.
The subject property is not located within designated public viewing areas; therefore, the proposed structure does not significantly impair views from public property.
III. The structure is designed and situated in such a manner as to minimize impairment of views.
The Claimant’s primary view is toward the northeast. The proposed structure is designed and situated in such a manner as to minimize impairment of views.
IV. There is no significant cumulative view impairment caused by granting the application. Cumulative view impairment shall be determined by: (a) Considering the amount of view impairment caused by the proposed structure; and (b) considering the amount of view impairment that would be caused by the construction on other parcels of structures similar to the proposed structure.
The VAC members found that there would not be significant cumulative view impairment caused by granting the application if adjacent lots were allowed to construct a development of a similar size and height.
V. The proposed structure is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character.
The proposed development is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character, including design, bulk, scale, height, and size.
B. In accordance with Section 17.68.040 (Development Review Permit) of the City of Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
I. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and all applicable requirements of SBMC Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance), including special regulations, overlay zones and specific plans.
General Plan Consistency: The project, as conditioned, is consistent with the City’s General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential, which allows for a maximum of five to seven dwelling units per acre. The development is also consistent with the objectives of the General Plan as it encourages the development and maintenance of healthy Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
residential neighborhoods, the stability of transitional neighborhoods, and the rehabilitation of deteriorated neighborhoods.
Zoning Ordinance Consistency: The project is consistent with all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 17) (SBMC 17.20.030 and
17.48.040), which delineates maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR), Permitted Uses and Structures (SBMC Section 17.20.020) which provides for uses of the property for a single-family residence. Further, the project adheres to all property development regulations established for the Medium Residential (MR) Zone and cited by SBMC Section 17.020.030.
The project is consistent with the provisions for minimum yard dimensions (i.e., setbacks) and the maximum allowable Floor area (FAR), maximum building height, and parking requirements.
II. The proposed development complies with the following development review criteria set forth in Solana Beach Municipal Code Section
17.68.040.F:
a. Relationship with Adjacent Land Uses: The development shall be designed in a manner compatible with and where feasible, complimentary to existing and potential development in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Site planning on the perimeter of the development shall give consideration to the protection of surrounding areas from potential adverse effects, as well as protection of the property from adverse surrounding influences.
The property is located within the MR Zone. The surrounding neighborhood is also located in the MR Zone and consists of a mix of properties that are one- and two-story, single-family residences. The project site is currently developed with a singlestory, single-family residence with an attached garage.
The project, as designed, is consistent with the permitted uses for the MR Zone as described in SBMC Sections 17.20.010 and
17.12.020, which permits one single-family residence and one Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) per lot. The property is
designated Medium Density Residential in the General Plan and intended for single- and multi-family residential development with a maximum density of five to seven dwelling units per acre.
The proposed development is found to be consistent with the objectives of the General Plan as it encourages the development and maintenance of healthy residential neighborhoods, the stability of transitional neighborhoods, and the rehabilitation of deteriorated neighborhoods.
Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
The property is not located within any of the City’s Specific Plan areas; however, it is located within the boundaries of the SROZ and within the Coastal Zone. The project has been evaluated, and found to be in conformance with, the regulations of the SROZ. As a condition of project approval, the Applicants shall obtain a Coastal Development Permit, Waiver or Exemption from the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of Building or Grading Permits.
b. Building and Structure Placement: Buildings and structures shall be sited and designed in a manner which visually and functionally enhances their intended use.
The Applicants are proposing to construct a replacement twostory, single-family residence with an attached two-car garage.
The location of the existing driveway will be maintained along the western side of the property with access from Ocean Street to the proposed 485 square-foot two-car garage. A screened trash enclosure will be located on the west side of the driveway.
A gated walkway will provide pedestrian access from Ocean Street through the center of the property to the main entrance.
The southern portion of the front yard will include an uncovered patio and a vegetated biofiltration area to support onside drainage. Private walkways will be provided along both the western and eastern sides of the residence to access the rear yard.
The replacement residence will be located in the western portion of the buildable area with portions of the second floor stepped back from the eastern side of the property by varying
dimensions. The 1,713 square-foot first floor living area will include an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining room, an office (bedroom) with a private bathroom, a pantry, a powder room, and a utility room with access to the garage. The first floor will open to both an uncovered courtyard, a covered patio, and the rear yard. The 1,608 square-foot second floor living area will include a main bedroom suite with a partially covered deck located on the north (front) side of the residence and two bedrooms with private bathrooms and a covered deck on the south (rear) side of the residence. All designed exterior areas, including the courtyard, patio, and decks are exempt from floor area.
Exterior improvements proposed on the south (rear) side of the residence include a barbeque counter and bar seating, a pool and spa, and landscape and hardscape areas. The Applicants are also proposing a detached single-story ADU of 450 square feet located in the southwest corner of the property and partially Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
within the rear yard setback. It should be noted that the detached ADU is not subject to discretionary review, pursuant to SBMC Section 17.20.040(D), and has been shown voluntarily on the project plans. The surrounding yard improvements, however, will be accessible by the tenants of both the ADU and primary residence and, therefore, are subject to the discretionary review.
The total proposed floor area is 3,411 square feet, which is 2 square feet below the maximum allowable floor area for the 8,360 square-foot lot. The maximum floor area calculation for this project is as follows:
0.500 for first 6,000 ft2 3,000 ft2
0.175 for 6,001 to 15,000 ft2 413 ft2
Total Allowable Floor Area: 3,411 ft2
The proposed project, as designed, would meet the minimum required setbacks, provide the required off-street parking, and would be below the maximum allowable floor area for the property.
c. Landscaping: The removal of significant native vegetation shall be minimized. Replacement vegetation and landscaping shall be compatible with the vegetation of the surrounding area. Trees and other large plantings shall not obstruct significant views when installed or at maturity.
The project is subject to the current water efficient landscaping regulations of SBMC Chapter 17.56. A Landscape
Documentation Package is required for new development
projects with an aggregate landscape equal to or greater than 500 square feet requiring a building permit, plan check or development review. The Applicants provided a conceptual landscape plan that has been reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect, who has recommended approval. The
Applicants will be required to submit a detailed construction landscape plan that will be reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect for substantial conformance with the conceptual plan and compliance with SBMC Chapter 17.56. In addition, the City’s third-party landscape architect will perform an inspection during the construction phase of the project. A separate condition has been added to require that native or drought-tolerant and non-invasive plant materials and waterconserving irrigation systems are required to be incorporated into the landscaping to the extent feasible.
d. Roads, Pedestrian Walkways, Parking and Storage Areas: Any development involving more than one building or structure shall Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
provide common access roads and pedestrian walkways.
Parking and outside storage areas, where permitted, shall be screened from view, to the extent feasible, by existing topography, by the placement of buildings and structures, or by landscaping and plantings.
SBMC Section 17.52.040 and the Off-Street Parking Design Manual (OSPDM) require two (2) parking spaces for a singlefamily residence. ADU’s are not required to provide an additional parking space if the site is located within one-half mile of a transit stop. The subject site is within one-half mile of multiple bus stops on Highway 101; therefore, an additional parking space is not required. The Applicants are proposing to construct a 485 square-foot attached garage in the northwest corner of the proposed residence. The garage will be accessed by a driveway on the northwest corner of the property from Ocean Street.
SBMC Section 17.08.030 indicates that required parking up to 200 square feet per parking space provided in a garage is exempt from the floor area calculation. The proposed garage will provide two 9-foot by 19-foot parking spaces that are clear of obstruction. Therefore, 400 square feet of garage area is exempt from the project’s total floor area calculation.
e. Grading: To the extent feasible, natural topography and scenic features of the site shall be retained and incorporated into the proposed development. Any grading or earth-moving operations in connection with the proposed development shall be planned and executed so as to blend with the existing terrain both on and adjacent to the site. Existing exposed or disturbed slopes shall be landscaped with native or naturalized non-native vegetation and existing erosion problems shall be corrected.
The project proposes grading in the amounts of 30 cubic yards of cut for footings, 80 cubic yards of fill, 5 cubic yards of excavation for footings, 100 cubic yards of removal and recompaction, for an aggregate of 215 cubic yards of grading, and 50 cubic yards of import in order to create an increased building pad and consistent grade throughout the yard areas and construct drainage improvements including a bio retention basin located in the northeast portion of the front yard.
f. Lighting: Light fixtures for walkways, parking areas, driveways, and other facilities shall be provided in sufficient number and at proper locations to assure safe and convenient nighttime use.
All light fixtures shall be appropriately shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding areas per SBMC 17.60.060 (Exterior Lighting Regulations).
Resolution 2021-128
DRP21-004/SDP21-004 Blakely – 211 Ocean St.
A condition of project approval includes that all new exterior lighting fixtures comply with the City-Wide Lighting Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance (SBMC 17.60.060). All light fixtures shall be shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding area.
g. Usable Open Space: Recreational facilities proposed within required usable open space shall be located and designed to maintain essential open space values.
The project consists of a replacement single-family residence on a developed residential lot; therefore, usable open space and recreational facilities are neither proposed nor required according to SBMC Section 17.20.040.
III. All required permits and approvals including variances, conditional use permits, comprehensive sign plans, and coastal development permits have been obtained prior to or concurrently with the development review permit.
All required permits, including a Structure Development Permit, are being processed concurrently with the Development Review Permit.
IV. If the development project also requires a permit or approval to be issued by a state or federal agency, the city council may conditionally approve the development review permit upon the Applicant obtaining the required permit or approval from the other agency.
The Applicants are required to obtain approval from the California Coastal Commission prior to issuance of Building and Grading Permits.

City Council Meeting
Attn: Katie Benson
Re: 211 Ocean Street
February 1, 2022
Dear Katie,
I request the City Council waive the SDP requirement for the changes we proposed outside the building envelope.
As discussed from the last City Council Meeting, the change was made to the back-west corner of our proposed building envelope. We made the change based on feedback from the last DRB meeting and meeting the objectives of the neighbors. The only neighbor this change impacts is on the west elevation of our property (the McBriars). We reviewed the proposed change with Erin and Mat McBriars (223 Ocean St). The McBriars are very supportive of this change as it offers them additional privacy (removing a deck and replacing it with a closet). To confirm the McBriar’s support, they have provided a written document to City’s Staff (Katie Benson) showing their positive support for this small update.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions,
Ford Blakely

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Gregory Wade, City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 9, 2022
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consideration of Resolution No. 2022-006 Approving Modifications to the Development Review
Permit and Structure Development Permit Waiver for
Solana Highlands Project (17-14-29) Approved in 2018, a 260-Unit Residential Community Including Affordable
Senior Housing at 661 - 781 South Nardo Avenue and 821
Stevens Avenue (Case # DRP MOD 20-002, Applicant: H.G.
Fenton)
BACKGROUND:
On December 17, 2018, the Solana Beach City Council (Council) certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and approved a Development Review Permit (DRP), Structure Development Permit (SDP), and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) to construct the Solana Highlands Revitalization Project (the “Project”) under Resolutions 2018-131, and 2018-132, respectively (see Attachment 1). The Council approvals also included an Affordable Housing Density Bonus and Waiver of Development Standards under State density bonus law, and a Fee Waiver. The approved Project is a residential development consisting of 260 residential units, including 32 senior affordable units, comprised of studios and one and two-bedroom units, 10,287 square feet of clubhouse/leasing office space, 261,266 square feet of landscaped area, 65,434 square feet of open space, 525 on-site parking spaces including 233 garage spaces, 22 covered parking spaces and 270 open or guest parking spaces. The site is located within the City’s designated High Density Residential (HR) Zone at 661-781 South Nardo Avenue and 821 Stevens Avenue.
The existing project site is bounded by South Nardo Avenue on the north, Stevens/Valley Avenue to the east, Saint James Church and Academy to the west and the Turfwood residential condominium community to the south.
The site is irregularly shaped and currently varies from an elevation of approximately 60 to 150 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL), sloping generally upward in elevation from the southeast area of the site to northwest. The project site is currently developed with 194 February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
multi-family residential units and associated amenities within the Solana Highlands community and four additional multi-family units located to the east.
The Solana Highlands apartment complex was constructed in the early 1970s. It is comprised of 16 buildings, carports and surface parking, various hardscape and landscape areas (including driveways and open green space areas), a coin-operated laundry room, tennis courts, a clubhouse with administrative offices, a fitness room, a business center, a swimming pool and three additional adjacent structures providing four multi-family units. The adjacent multi-family homes were constructed in the late 1940s and mid-1970s.
The proposed Project involves demolition of all existing structures on site and construction of a new rental apartment community consisting of 228 new multi-family residential units, and 32 affordable senior housing units, for a total of 260 new units in 24 buildings on-site. The Project proposes a net increase of 62 residential units consisting of 32 affordable senior units and 28 market rate units.
The existing project site is 13.4 acres (583,704 gross square feet) and is composed of three parcels (12.99 acres, 0.31 acres and 0.11 acres) and will ultimately be consolidated into two parcels as follows: Parcel 1 will contain 228 market rate rental units on an 11.64- acre site and Parcel 2 will contain the 32 affordable senior units and will be a total of 1.77 acres in size, as shown below:

DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
The height of the Project was certified on June 18, 2018 as follows:
• The highest point (elevation) of the Project is 149.5 above MSL, measured at Story Pole #39, with a building height of 25 feet at that location. • The tallest/maximum height of the Project is 47.1’ above the lowest point of the existing/proposed grade at Story Pole #86 where the project site elevation is 116 feet above MSL at that location.
An earlier version of the Project was heard before the City’s View Assessment Commission (VAC) in September 2015. Following substantial revisions to the overall site plan following the 2015 VAC process, a new site plan was prepared and a new story pole plan was certified. The new Project site plan was evaluated by the VAC in October 2018 and November 2018. During the October 2018 and November 2018 VAC proceedings, all view claims were denied by the VAC due to the changes made to the site plan as reflected in the final Project design ultimately approved by the City Council on December 17, 2018.
Grading estimates are 187,000 cubic yards of cut, 27,000 cubic yards of fill and 160,000 cubic yards to be exported off-site. The Project was conditioned such that the Applicant must make every effort to participate in the City’s Sand Compatibility and Opportunistic Use Program (SCOUP) if the excavated material is suitable for beach replenishment up to a maximum of 150,000 cubic yards per the City’s SCOUP permits.
February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
The Applicant was required to obtain a DRP as the Project met the following DRP thresholds: 1) new construction totaling 30,000 gross square feet or more, 2) any residential project of 20 or more units, 3) any new residential structure or structural addition in the HR zones which exceeds 25 feet in height, or 4) any project that includes grading in excess of 100 cubic yards. A SDP was required as elements of the Project exceed 16 feet above existing/proposed grade.
Through an extensive, multi-year community outreach process, the Applicant made significant design changes to their original proposal based on community feedback. The nature of the Applicant’s changes addressed private view issues and community compatibility concerns. The approved site plan is shown above.
The Project was reviewed through a Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The Final EIR was certified and the City Council approved a Development Review Permit (DRP), Structure Development Permit (SDP), Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) and other related entitlements on December 17, 2018.
Following City Council approval, the Applicant submitted an application to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). Conditional approval of CDP 06-19-0109 was issued by the CCC in May 2019. Following CCC approval, the Applicant initiated preparation of construction and engineering plans and submitted applications for ministerial building permits to the City in December 2019 for certain building, grading and public improvement elements of the Project.
City Staff and the Applicant coordinated on the permit processing to discuss and review comments on the project plans intermittently throughout 2020. Processing efforts were somewhat slowed and/or hampered by COVID-19-related restrictions and protocols and related Staff work modifications.
During 2020 and continuing until the present time, input from community stakeholders was obtained by the Applicant on several key topics including landscape concepts, the traffic calming plan and Applicant-initiated revisions to Buildings 13, 19 (Clubhouse) and
24. Members of the community have also held their own meetings to discuss various project elements and community engagement on the Project remains ongoing.
The Applicant is also continuing efforts to support their future anticipated participation in the City’s SCOUP beach sand replenishment program during the initial construction phases (estimated to be 2022-2023). City Staff have shared their experiences on the Solana 101 SCOUP project that placed sand on the City’s beaches in the Spring of 2021 with the goal of refining future SCOUP project logistics and activities.
In Spring 2021, the Applicant resubmitted a formal application to modify discrete elements of the previously approved Project to allow design changes to proposed Buildings 13, 19, and 24. At that time, City Staff and the Applicant also began to finalize the Project’s Landscape Plan and traffic calming plan and exterior building materials ensuring that each remained consistent with the goal and intent of City Council-imposed Conditions of Approval contained in Resolution 2018-132 (See Attachment 1).
February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
The issue before the Council is whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Applicant’s request for DRP Modification 20-002 (see Attachment 2) including changes to conditions of approval and SDP waiver and adopt Resolution 2022-006 (Attachment 3).
DISCUSSION:
On April 6, 2020, the Applicant submitted an initial request to (1) approve minor modifications to three buildings of the previously approved project and (2) modify certain City Council Conditions of Approval. Due to COVID-19-related delays, application processing slowed until April 2021 when the Applicant resubmitted an updated application with supporting materials (See Attachment 2) and permit application processing was once again resumed. Below is a summary of the scope of the Applicant’s DRP Modification and SDP Waiver Request (DRP/SDP MOD 20-002). Supporting documentation for each project element listed below is included in Attachment 2 to this Staff Report which contains the Applicant prepared materials.
Summary and Overview of Applicant Requested Project Modifications • Building 13. The Applicant is requesting consideration of a modification of the City Council Condition of Approval X.a.i. requiring that Building 13 be lowered by six (6) inches from the revised story pole plan elevation submitted on October 2, 2018, limiting the maximum elevation of building 13 to 134.9 MSL. The Applicant requests the condition be revised to lower the maximum building height of the easterly 47 feet of Building 13 by an additional 3.0 feet (to 130.5 MSL) and allow the remaining westerly approximately 144’ feet of Building 13 to be constructed to the height of 139.9’ MSL as originally depicted and certified by story pole certification dated 6/14/18 and waiver of the story pole requirement for this modification.
• Building 19. The Applicant requests consideration of modifications to Building 19 (Clubhouse) on three sides (exterior façades) to allow second-floor balconies, open on three sides with a roof, on the front and rear of the building, and exterior stairs on the street-side of the building, which would project outside of the previously permitted horizontal envelope and waiver of the story pole requirement for these modifications.
• Building 24. The Applicant requests consideration of a modification to the site plan to shift Building 24 approximately 60’ feet east and waiver of the story pole requirement for this modification.
• Onsite Parking Management Plan. The Applicant requests consideration of a modification to City Council Condition of Approval XVIII.c. requiring submittal of an onsite Parking Plan to the City Manager on or before March 1, 2020 to allow additional time to develop the parking plan. The Applicant requests they be allowed to submit the onsite Parking Management Plan to the City Manager on or before September 1, 2023.

• Offsite Traffic Calming Plan. The Applicant requests consideration of refinements to the originally approved traffic calming conceptual plan reflecting an iterative review process that has benefitted from the input of the community as well as the input of the City Engineer and the Solana Beach Fire Department. • Final Landscape Plan. The Applicant requests consideration of a modification of a portion of City Council Condition of Approval XXVI requiring separate City Council approval of a Final “Conceptual” Landscape Plan. The Applicant requests that a Final Landscape Plan be reviewed and approved by the City Council essentially skipping an interim approval of a Final “Conceptual” Landscape Plan.
The Applicant also requests removal of the requirement for ten (10), 84-inch box trees be installed onsite.
Each of these requests is further detailed below.
Requested Change to Building #13 – The Applicant is requesting amendment of Condition X.a.i. of 2018‐132 that requires the reduction of the maximum height of Building 13 by six (6) inches from the revised story pole plan elevation submitted October 2, 2018 and limiting the maximum building elevation for building 13 to 134.9 MSL.
The Applicant requests the condition be revised to reduce the maximum building height of the easterly approximately 50 feet of Building 13 by an additional 3.0 feet and limiting it to 130.5 MSL, and to allow the remaining westerly approximately 144’ feet of Building 13 to be constructed to the originally proposed height of 139.9’ MSL as originally depicted and certified by the story pole plan certification dated June 14, 2018.
This proposed amendment to the massing of Building 13 addresses the portion of the building of most concern both to the City Council and to the claimant (Wilson) who filed a View Assessment Application in conjunction with the SDP in June 2018. This request would further reduce the required 6-inch height reduction an additional 3.0 feet while allowing the portion of the building not visible from claimant’s view to return to the pitched roof architecture that is more aesthetically compatible with the overall architecture of the remainder of the Project. The image below from Attachment 2 shows the proposed reduced building height of the easterly portion of Building 13 and the proposed height of the westerly portion of Building 13.

An email from Weber/Nunn, a former view claimant, was received requesting that the currently proposed changes be story poled and go through the Structure Development review process once again (Attachment 4). The Weber/Nunn claim was filed in 2015 and the applicant submitted a substantially revised site plan which was story poled and certified in June 2018. This 2015 view claimant had their view claim heard by the VAC in November 2018 where it was denied.
The proposed changes before City Council for Building 13 are entirely within the story poled building envelope for Building 13 originally installed and certified on June 14, 2018.
This certification established the maximum height of Building 13 at 139.9’ MSL during the SDP notification and review period that ran from June 19 through July 20, 2018. Following the receipt of claims for view assessment, the ridgeline was reduced by 4.5’ to a height of 135.4’ and a new ridgeline flag was set at that elevation and the SDP was amended 0 2 @J r--------tt.o•----1-------:,.-.. , ·-------o--1T-O---<- --------J.T•l;'"'---------,o, ~----, ---~ f •20'-11T l•U'C 1•2&'.a" +:l(i'-1 1' 1-34·..,- I•~~- f .W lo'~H w.ci..!C l'ie K ..

accordingly specifically to address the 2018 Wilson view claim. The View Assessment Commission (VAC) considered the revised proposed height of 135.4’ at the VAC meeting on October 16, 2018, and recommended approval, however, the claimant requested further consideration of his claim by the City Council, resulting in the condition to reduce the height of Building 13 by 6 inches to 134.9 MSL. Additionally, Condition X.a.i. further stated that, “The manner in which this height reduction is achieved shall be at the discretion of the Applicant.” Attachment 1 includes the approved DRP/SDP configuration, and a copy of the June 14, 2018 story pole certification. The Weber/Nunn view claim was subsequently denied by the VAC in November 2018.
Only the easterly quarter of Building 13 creates the view blockage that gave rise to the view claim addressed by Council. The westerly three-quarters of the building are within a viewshed that is largely blocked by an existing building and will be blocked in the future by proposed Buildings 2 and 12. The Applicant’s request is in keeping the Council’s direction to minimize the view impact on the view claimant, while allowing Building 13 to return to the original architectural articulation of the sloped roof.
The Applicant has discussed this proposed revision with the view claimant, John Wilson, owner of 684 S. Nardo, who has provided written support to proceed with this amendment request (see Attachment 2). The Applicant provided photographs from an informal story pole effort conducted by the Applicant at the request of Mr. Wilson. The request for a waiver of the SDP process is based on the support of Mr. Wilson. With the concurrence of the this view claimant, the Applicant is requesting a waiver of any additional story pole requirements in conjunction with this project modification as the building as revised remains wholly within the building envelope depicted in the certified June 2018 story pole plan. Any and all other view claimants have had their view assessment claims considered as part of the extensive 2018 View Assessment process, which depicted the entire building at 139.9’ AMSL.
Change to Building #19 (Clubhouse) – The Applicant is requesting consideration of a modification of the DRP to implement an updated design vision for the revitalized Solana Highlands Clubhouse & Leasing Office. Over the past three years since project approval, the Applicant’s design has evolved to capture the Solana Beach coastal lifestyle and incorporate additional amenities expected by today’s community residents. The revised elevations for Building 19 are intended to:
• Create the feeling of an upscale “beach club” consistent with the Solana Beach lifestyle.
• Establish a welcoming environment at the community’s entrance with lots of windows and a large front porch inviting residents and visitors in. • Update the Coastal Craftsman architecture consistent with the remainder of the Project, while remaining timeless and lasting.
• Evoke a sense of place by introducing a barrel vaulted clerestory element inspired by the iconic Quonset huts on Solana Beach’s Cedros Avenue design corridor.
February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
• Increase opportunities for flow between indoor and outdoor spaces and take advantage of the great Solana Beach climate.
• Provide a multi-function space for interaction, work, reflection, and recreation – meeting today’s trends demanding more remote workplaces, fitness amenities, and accommodating package delivery.
These additional design considerations, which are included in Attachment 2, have resulted in a request by the Applicant to modify the front and rear façades of Building 19 to allow for second-floor balconies, open on three sides, with a roof, which would project outside of the previously permitted horizontal envelope. An exterior staircase has also been included on the side of the building that would also project horizontally beyond the story poled envelope. There are also some first floor building elements that are now proposed to project beyond the original building envelope, however, these are below 16 feet in height. The Applicant is requesting consideration of this request and a waiver of the story pole requirement for these modifications. The image below from Attachment 2 shows the projections of the second floor covered balconies and exterior staircase in light blue and proposed first floor roof projections that are less than 16 feet in height in gray.
This is discussed in further detail later in this Staff Report under the View Assessment discussion.
The modified elevations are consistent with the Coastal Craftsman style architecture exhibited throughout the Project and are intended to create a strong statement at the project entrance emphasizing the coastal lifestyle and a high-quality architectural design.
The building would have a wide front porch and large windows to invite residents and \

guests to enjoy the building and provide a high degree of visual transparency and circulation between indoor and outdoor areas consistent with the Solana Beach lifestyle.
The revised building is largely consistent with the scale and massing of the previously approved Building 19, except for small sections of the building projecting beyond the story poled building envelope as shown in Attachment 2. The additional projecting areas on the front and rear of the building contain roofed second-floor balconies, open on three sides and a staircase has been included on the side of the building that projects horizontally beyond the 2018 story poled envelope. No element of the roof of Building 19 would exceed the height of the ridgeline that was depicted in the 2018 story poles. Each of the three additional projecting areas contains a roofed second-floor balcony or staircase, open on three sides, minimizing any massing impact of the additional projection.
The Clubhouse is located at the lower elevation easterly end of the site. The highest ridgeline of the building is well below both the existing and future natural landform as the site rises to the west. No view concerns were raised with the Clubhouse (Building 19) or any of the other nearby buildings during the City’s View Assessment process. These horizontal projections do not create any additional view obstruction of any offsite vantage points as the newly proposed projecting elements are blocked by other onsite buildings.
The revisions to the clubhouse (Building 19) are consistent with the architecture and design quality established by approved DRP. The area on the front, rear and side façades that project outside of the envelope depicted by the approved story poles do not create any additional new view impacts, and thus a Story Pole Waiver has been requested. The remainder of Building 19 is within the approved envelope and underneath the ridgeline created by the approved building/story poles. The Applicant is requesting a Story Pole Waiver due to the lack of view impairment created by the revised horizontal projecting elements.
Change to Building #24 – The Applicant is requesting consideration of a modification of the DRP site plan to shift Building 24 approximately 60 feet to the east and waiver of the story pole requirement for this modification.
Building 24 is a three-story building with ground floor garages and upper floor carriage units above the garages located in the southwest quadrant of the site. Views of this building are blocked from offsite to the north by Building 13 and from the south by Building
15. No view claims were filed for Building 24 during the previous SDP process.
The Applicant is proposing to revise the location of Building 24, shifting it approximately 60 feet to the east, in order to create a shared pedestrian walkway between Buildings 14 and 24 intended to enhance the resident experience instead of having front doors immediately open onto parking spaces. This modification will also remove project massing away from the western site near the St. James Church and Academy located west of the site Below is a depiction of both the original and proposed location of Building
24. February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
The proposed location of Building 24 remains blocked from view from the north by Building 13, from the south by Building 15, and from the west by Building 14. It is moved further away from the west, although maintains the same vertical massing when viewed from west to east. The eastward shift of Building 24 would not result in any new view impact as shown in Attachment 2.
The proposed location of Building 24 remains blocked from view from the north by Building 13, from the south by Building 15, and from the east by Building 14. It is moved further away from the west, although maintains the same vertical massing when viewed from west to east. The Applicant is requesting a waiver of any additional story pole requirements related to this proposed change.
Traffic Calming Plan – Resolution 2018-132 contained Council Conditions of Approval related to improvements of the existing roadway network adjacent to and in the general vicinity of the project site consistent with the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and implementing certain recommendations of the City’s Comprehensive Active Transportation Strategies (CATS) Program. Conditions in the original Resolution 2018- 132 specifically required the Applicant to work with City Staff to develop Traffic Calming Plans as articulated in the subject resolution and to obtain City Council approval for the proposed traffic calming measures.

The Applicant and the Applicant’s Engineering team met with City Staff on several occasions and discussed various elements of the traffic calming measures. Almost all measures were properly developed and designed consistent with the original requirements of the approved City Council Resolution. The following items deviate from the original requirements and are presented here for Council’s consideration. • Condition II-(1) of Resolution 2018‐132 discussed requirements for improving the operation of the Turfwood driveway access to Valley Avenue. This requirement included timing modification of the traffic signal at the intersection of Valley Avenue and Stevens Avenue to provide a more efficient egress at Turfwood Lane vehicular access. After careful evaluation of the signal timing performed by the City’s Traffic Engineer, it was determined that any timing adjustment and or signal phasing revisions would have unintended and negative consequences for all other signal phases at the Stevens/Valley intersection. City Staff recommends implementation of creative striping at the Turfwood driveway access to Valley Avenue coupled with the addition of an electronic speed limit sign on southbound Stevens just south of Nardo, and improving the sight visibility distance for vehicles entering Valley, would greatly enhance the operation of the Turfwood driveway. City Staff is also recommending that the Applicant monitor the operation of the Turfwood driveway for a period of one year after full implementation of all other measures and provide a report to the City Engineer. If additional enhancements are warranted, the Applicant and City Staff will make appropriate adjustments. Revisions to the signal timing is not recommended at this time.
• Condition II-(2) of Resolution 2018‐132 discussed measures by which vehicular right turn movements from eastbound Nardo Avenue to southbound Stevens Avenue will be more controlled or slowed. This condition discussed modification to the design and timing of the traffic signal at the intersection of Nardo Avenue and Stevens Avenue. After discussion with the City’s Traffic Engineer, it was concluded that any such design changes to the signal system would be less effective than implementation of certain physical constraints to lower the vehicular traffic speed for these right turn movements. With that in mind, City Staff worked with the Applicant’s design team to redesign the existing curb-return at the southwest corner of this intersection to reduce the curb radius. This would require motorists to reduce their speed before making the right turn onto Stevens Avenue. As recommended by Staff, the Applicant’s design team supplemented this design by adding continental crosswalks on Nardo Avenue and Stevens Avenue and upgrading of the existing non-standard curb ramps at the northwest corner of this intersection and across Stevens to the east side of the street. City Staff believes these measures will accomplish the City Council’s desired intent to slow traffic making righthand turns from Nardo onto Stevens. This modification is included in the Applicant’s Traffic Calming Plan included in Attachment 2.

• Condition II-(7) of Resolution 2018‐132 Requires the Applicant to install a Speed Table and crosswalk (a long flat speed bump) on Nardo Avenue between east Solana Circle and Nardito Lane. The Applicant organized a community meeting where community members expressed interest in adding stop signs to South Nardo Avenue at Nardito Lane and at Solana Circle instead of the Speed Table.
Should the City Council direct City Staff to proceed with the installation of stop signs along South Nardo Avenue, the City Engineer would direct the Applicant to eliminate the proposed speed table and instead provide two thermoplastic continental striping crosswalks; one crossing Nardo Avenue from the northwest corner of Solana Circle and Nardo and one crossing Solana Circle south to the southwest corner of Nardo and Solana Circle.
• Condition II-(8) of Resolution 2018‐132 requires evaluation of the addition of one Speed Cushion on South Nardo Avenue between Fresca Street and Nardito Lane.
This evaluation has been completed and it was determined that installation of a Speed Cushion in this roadway segment is not consistent with City Council Policy 25, due primarily to the steep grade of the existing road. The Applicant worked with City Staff to design an alternate traffic calming measure in the form of two “Chokers” (Physically narrowing the road width by extending the curbs and installing short median sections). This design is equally effective for calming traffic as compared to speed cushions. This modification is included in the Applicant’s proposed Traffic Calming Plan in Attachment 2.
Parking Management Plan: The Applicant is requesting to modify Condition of Approval XVIII.c of Resolution 2018‐132 that requires submittal of a Parking Management Plan to the City Manager on or before March 1, 2020, to require submittal of the onsite Parking Management Plan to the City Manager on or before September 1, 2023. Council Resolution 2018-132 provided extensive conditions regarding the number and allocation of onsite parking spaces. No changes to the type, amount, or allocation of parking space use (i.e., reserved, guest, etc.) are proposed. This request is simply for a delay or extension of the timing for submittal of the Parking Management Plan only.
The Parking Management Plan will identify which garages, carport parking spaces, and uncovered parking spaces are assigned to each apartment as reserved parking spaces.
These allocations of onsite parking spaces will be prepared by the Applicant as part of the onsite operations plan and will be completed during the construction period and prior to the initiation of leasing efforts on the redeveloped site.
Final Landscape Plan – The Applicant is requesting to revise the portion of Condition of Approval XXVI of Resolution 2018‐132 that requires separate City Council approval of a Final Conceptual Landscape Plan and instead allowing the Applicant to move forward to consideration of a Final Landscape Plan without requiring formal City Council consideration and approval of an interim conceptual version of the Final Landscape Plan.
Resolution 2018‐132 required the submittal of a Final Conceptual Landscape Plan prior to March 1, 2019, a deadline that has been extended by concurrence of the City Manager to allow the Applicant to continue to work with members of the community regarding the February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
details of the final project Landscape Plan. The Council Resolution required submittal of the Final Landscape Plan prior to March 1, 2020.
The Applicant has now submitted a Final Landscape Plan that incorporates community input and satisfies the conditions of approval. The Applicant requests that the City Council accept the Final Landscape Plan and waive the condition requiring approval of a Final Conceptual Landscape Plan as essentially redundant and acknowledge and approve a revision to the tree planting plan as discussed below.
A construction‐level landscape plan was submitted to the City on December 20, 2019, in conjunction with the Grading Permit and Building Permit plan check submittals. This submittal constituted the Applicant’s concurrent submittal of the delayed Final Conceptual Landscape Plans and the Final Landscape Plan which was required by the conditions of approval to be submitted before March 1, 2020.
Following the Landscape Plan submittal in 2019, the Applicant continued to work with the members of the community to obtain input regarding the landscape materials and design for the buffer area surrounding the site. Based on community input, a plan was developed creating six distinct planting zones along the edge of the property. The planting plan ties together the Project thematically with native and other selected low water usage species, while respecting the context of the adjacent neighborhood as the perimeter of the Project transitions: from single family homes and view sensitive areas across South Nardo Avenue at the northwest; to higher density housing along the eastern portion of South Nardo Avenue and along Stevens Avenue; to the south of the property to interface with the existing Turfwood community; and finally to the east where the Project is adjacent to St. James Church and Academy.
Each planting palette was developed to attractively screen and buffer the development while respecting the established surrounding areas, allowing the Project to integrate with existing adjacent uses while avoiding a monolithic or singular palette. Each of the zones and tree species are depicted in Attachment 2, Landscape Zone Plan, Landscape Tree Zone Plan and Landscape Tree Schedule.
The Applicant has submitted a buffer planting plan which was developed with the benefit of community input including residents along South Nardo Avenue and residents of the Turfwood community. When originally brought forward for approval, the Project was anticipated to include approximately ten (10) 84-inch box Coast Live Oaks along the southern edge of the site and approximately 60 trees that would be a mix of Coast Live Oaks, Aleppo Pines, and California Sycamores in 24-inch boxes. The planting plan has been modified to incorporate smaller container sized trees, including 15-gallon size trees and 24-inch box trees. The proposed changes are in response to concerns raised by adjacent residents expressing concerns regarding the viability of transplanted 84-inch box trees and potential impact on hillside / slope stability as well as the ability of smaller container sized trees to grow faster after transplantation.
In lieu of ten (10) 84-inch Coast Live Oaks along the southern edge of the project site, the planting plan includes twenty (20) 24-inch Coast Live Oaks in the East and NorthEast Zones. Along the southern project boundary, screening will be provided by eleven February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
(11) Coastal Shrub Oaks in 15-gallon containers that are more appropriate for slope planting. Other prominent screening trees in the South Zone include fifteen (15) Torrey Pines and various other tree species. More than sixty (60) 24-inch box trees will be located within the buffer zones in a combination of oak, palm and other native and drought tolerant tree species all selected with the benefit of community input.
Council Resolution 2018-132 required the submittal of a Final Conceptual Landscape Plan prior to March 1, 2019, a deadline that has been extended by concurrence of the City Manager that allowed the Applicant to continue to work with community stakeholders regarding the details of the project Landscape Plan. Community input was not only incorporated into the Landscape Plans submitted to the City on December 20, 2019, in conjunction with the Grading Permit and Building Permit plan check submittals, but has also been incorporated in the Final Landscape Plan submittal presented to Council. As previously noted, this submittal constitutes the Applicant’s concurrent submittal of Final Conceptual Landscape Plans and the Final Landscape Plan which was originally required by to be submitted before March 1, 2020.
Given the concurrent review of the Final Conceptual and Final Landscape Plans with the Grading and Building Permit submittal packages, the Applicant has requested to proceed with the Final Landscape Plan essentially skipping an interim conceptual approval by the City Council. Additional Conditions of Approval have been added to (1) ensure that the Final Landscape Plan is reviewed and approved by the Santa Fe Irrigation District/San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health and (2) require engineering review by EsGil of Final Landscape Plan Construction Drawings contained on Sheets LC01 and LC-13. 2018 City Council Approved Project Overview Per Resolution 2018-132 Table 1 on the following page provides an overview of the specific zoning regulations for the development of the property compared to the Applicant’s proposed Project design.
The development standards that apply to this Project are provided in the SBMC.

development review permit upon the applicant obtaining the required permit or approval from the other agency.
If the above findings cannot be made, the Council shall deny the DRP. The following is a discussion of the applicable development review criteria as they relate to the proposed Project.
The Project is also located within the Coastal Zone as the entire City of Solana Beach is within the Coastal Zone. As a condition of Project approval, the Applicant was required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit from the Commission prior to the issuance of building permits by the City. The Applicant received approval of a CDP 06-19-0109 which was issued by the CCC in May 2019.
Relationship with Adjacent Land Uses
The site is located within the High Residential Density (HR) Zone which is described by SBMC Section 17.20.010 as follows:
• High Residential Zone (HR) – (13 to 20 dwelling units/net acre): This zone is intended for multiple-family attached units such as apartments and condominium buildings. Such areas are located in close proximity to major community facilities, commercial centers and transportation routes. It is intended that development in this zone utilize innovative site planning and provide on-site recreational amenities.
The proposed Project involves modifications to an approved redevelopment project for the site. The overall Project would occur on an existing developed site currently occupied by a 194-unit residential apartment complex and 4 other multifamily units.
The site is located in an urban setting and is surrounded by mix of residential land use types including single family residential neighborhoods to the north, Solana Pointe residential apartments to the northeast, single-family homes to the southeast, Turfwood condominiums to the south, and St. James Catholic Church and Academy campus to the west.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed Project may be found consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property as High Density Residential (HR), and may be found to be consistent with the following General Plan policies in the City’s Land Use (LU) Element for residential land uses:
• Policy LU-1.1: Encourage the development and protection of healthy residential neighborhoods by ensuring sensitive transitions between those neighborhoods and adjoining areas and preventing deterioration through rehabilitation and maintenance efforts.
• Policy LU-1.2: The City’s land use plan shall include residential land uses comprising a range of housing types, locations, and densities.

• Policy LU-1.3: In order to protect the rental housing stock, protect purchasers of dwelling units, assure consistency with the general plan density requirements, assure adequate parking, and assure adequate public facilities, conversion of existing apartments to condominiums or other similar forms of subdivision shall be regulated pursuant to City zoning and subdivision ordinances. • Policy LU-1.4: Pursue opportunities to improve and protect existing residential neighborhoods by enhancing the pedestrian and bicycle experience, implementing traffic calming measures where appropriate, and providing convenient access to schools, parks, beaches, and other amenities and services. • Policy LU-6.6: Promote infill development, redevelopment, rehabilitation, and reuse efforts that protect and contribute positively to existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
• Policy LU-6.7: Promote appropriate transitions in building height and bulk which are sensitive to the visual and physical character of adjacent neighborhoods.
The Project could be found to be consistent with the following General Plan programs and goals in the City’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element which the City is committed to implementing. This includes the housing goals, including regional housing needs assessment / local share goals and affordable housing goals, including:
• Continuing to implement the density bonus and affordable housing ordinances. • Addressing and mitigating constraints to housing development. • Providing affordable housing for the elderly (seniors) as an identified “Special Needs Group” in the Housing Element.
• Meeting the local share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) as established by SANDAG by providing a portion of the 6th Cycle RHNA affordable units the City must provide under State law.
• Developing a site that was identified as having redevelopment potential for additional housing units in the City's Housing Element. • Achieving the need for housing rehabilitation to preserve neighborhood quality.
The Housing Element identified the Solana Highlands project site as one that could accommodate additional residential units and was a site identified as having adequate density to accommodate lower income housing. The Applicant requested DRP modifications do not include any changes to the total number of units redeveloped onsite nor do they propose any changes to the 32 senior affordable units that will be constructed as part of the approved Project. Therefore, the Project remains consistent with the City’s RHNA and the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element Update.

Local Coastal Plan/Land Use Plan Consistency
The Solana Beach City Council adopted a Local Coastal Plan (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) on February 27, 2013 (amended and certified on June 11, 2014). Although the LUP has been certified by the California Coastal Commission, the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) portion of the LCP has not yet been certified; as such, the provisions of the LUP are considered by the Coastal Commission to be advisory rather than mandatory at this time.
The purpose of the LUP is to implement the State’s goals for the coastal zone. The City’s LUP provides long-term goals that promote the beneficial use of lands in the City and the beach and shoreline for residents and visitors alike. The LCP LUP designates the property as High Density Residential. This land use category is intended to be developed with 13 to 20 dwelling units per acre. This zone is intended for multiple-family attached units such as apartments and condominium buildings. Such areas are located in close proximity to major community facilities, commercial centers, and transportation routes. It is intended that development in this zone utilize innovative site planning and provide onsite recreational amenities.
As the City does not yet have full coastal development permit (CDP) authority, the Applicant was required to obtain approval from the Coastal Commission. On May 19, 2019, the Applicant received Coastal Commission approval for the Project under CDP06-19-0109.
The proposed Project could be found to be consistent with LCP/LUP. In particular, the proposed Project could be found to be consistent with the policies in Chapter 5 – New Development, which includes general policies for new development, and policies for residential development, high density development and redevelopment, energy efficiency and archaeology. The proposed Project could also be found to be consistent with the policies in Chapter 7 – Public Works, including policies for circulation improvements and traffic calming.
Affordable Housing, Density Bonus and Waiver of Development Standards, and Fee Waiver
No changes to these elements of the original City Council approved Project are proposed; therefore, no additional analysis for this DRP Modification request is required on these topics.
Building and Structure Placement
The Project includes a total of 260 units with a breakdown as follows:
• 12 studio apartments that are 420 square feet in size • 128 one-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 517 to 954 square feet • 120 two-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 731 to 1,212 square feet.
February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
Project amenities on site would include a recreation facility/clubhouse building and associated recreation facilities such as a pool, spa, barbecue areas, walking paths, and passive usable open space. Additionally, the Project would include a small park along South Nardo Avenue to reduce effects to public and private views in proximity to the existing greenspace on site.
The SBMC includes development standards for high density residential development based on the zone in which the Project is located, including required setbacks, maximum FAR, and building height, which are shown in Table 1. The previously approved development standard waivers granted by Council under Resolution 2018-132 notwithstanding, the proposed Project meets or exceeds all required setbacks, and is below the maximum allowable FAR. Required parking and landscaping standards are contained in the City’s Off-Street Parking Design Manual (OSPDM). The Project meets or exceeds the parking requirements of the SBMC and the requirements of the OSPDM.
The highest point of the Project would remain consistent with the previous project approval at 149.5 above Mean Sea Level (MSL), measured at Story Pole #39, with a building height of 25 feet at that location. The maximum height of the Project is 47.1’ above the lowest point of the existing/proposed grade at Story Pole #86, where the project site elevation is 116 feet above MSL at that location. The Applicant received a waiver of the 30-foot height standard under Resolution 2018-132 as part of the original 2018 City Council approved project.
Therefore, pursuant to the requirements of the placement of buildings and structures, the City Council may find that the Project has been designed to minimize the potential for adverse impacts on surrounding properties and has been designed in a manner which visually and functionally enhances their intended use and complements the existing site topography.
Landscaping
Per SBMC Section 17.56.040, the Project is subject to the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Regulations. The existing site contains developed areas and vegetation consisting of both native trees and non-native ornamental trees, shrubs and other plant species. As a condition of approval for the Project, the Applicant shall connect to the City’s reclaimed water facilities to provide all on- and off-site irrigation with reclaimed water.
The Final Landscape Plan contained in Attachment 2 proposes 247,583 square feet of open space amenity areas including patios, pool area and walkways throughout the site and 188,187 square feet of irrigated landscape area. During construction of the Project, it is anticipated that all of the existing onsite trees, shrubs and other vegetation would be removed due to the extent of grading that is proposed on site to significantly lower building pad elevations.
The Project has been conditioned to comply with the LCP LUP Policy 3.53 regarding mitigation for native tree species removed from a project site. The inclusion of 5 California Sycamores would replace the existing mature 5 California Sycamores on site in accordance with City LCP requirements for native tree mitigation.
February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
The Project would include the installation of 716 trees including mature 24-inch boxed trees to reduce visual and aesthetic effects from the loss of the existing vegetation on site. The Final Landscape Plan was developed with extensive input of community stakeholders including residents along S. Nardo Avenue and residents of the Turfwood community. As a result of this community input, the Final Landscape Plan differs slightly from the landscaping originally described but meets the design intent. Specifically, when originally brought forward for approval the Project was anticipated to, “include approximately ten (10) 84-inch box Coast Live Oaks along the southern edge of the site and approximately 60 trees that would be a mix of Coast Live Oaks, Aleppo Pines, and California Sycamores in 24-inch boxes.” The planting plan has been modified to incorporate smaller container sized trees (15 gallon and 24-inch box trees) as smaller container size trees are more likely to be successful transplantation. Adjacent residents expressed concerns regarding the viability of transplanted 84-inch box trees and impact on slope stability to the south of the site and therefore these 84-inch box trees originally envisioned are no longer being proposed.
In lieu of ten (10) 84-inch Coast Live Oaks along the southern edge, the Final Landscape Plan includes twenty 24-inch Coast Live Oaks in the East and North-East Zones. Along the southern boundary screening will be provided by 11 Coastal Shrub Oaks in 15-gallon containers that are appropriate for slope plantings. Other prominent screening trees in the South Zone include 15 Torrey Pines and an assortment of other trees. More than sixty 24-inch box trees will be located within the buffer zones in a combination of oak, palm and other native and low-water usage trees selected in conjunction with community input.
The Final Landscape Plan includes the use of native species and/or drought-tolerant plant material. No invasive or potentially invasive species would be used. Planting is intended to be a connecting design element linking the project site and design styles and creating a cohesive community. The landscape plan uses plant materials to help define spaces, create/encourage circulation paths, emphasize entry points, and provide softness and scale to the architecture.
Evergreen, deciduous, and flowering material are proposed throughout the site and mature native trees are proposed. New landscaping would use significantly less water than the current landscaping, as the proposed Project would use reclaimed water for all landscape uses and would also comply with all California landscape water-usage standards.
The Applicant’s Landscape Plan has been reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect who has revised the plan and recommends approval as designed with two additional Conditions of Approval to ensure that the Final Landscape Plan is reviewed and approved by the Santa Fe Irrigation District/San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health; and require engineering review by EsGil of Final Landscape Plan Construction Drawings contained on Sheets LC-01 through LC-13.
The Applicant is required to submit detailed construction drawings that would be reviewed by the City’s third-party landscape architect for conformance with the Final Landscape Plan being considered herein. In addition, the City’s third-party landscape architect would February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
perform inspections during the construction phase of the Project. A separate condition has been added to require that native or drought-tolerant and non-invasive plant materials and water-conserving irrigation systems are required to be incorporated into the landscaping to the extent feasible.
Roads, Pedestrian Walkways, Parking, and Storage Areas
No changes to roads, walkways, parking or storage areas are proposed. The Applicant has requested additional time, until September 1, 2023, to submit the onsite Parking Management Plan to the City Manager for review.
Residential projects in the City are required to comply with parking standards in the SBMC
17.52. The parking for the affordable senior housing element is per the State density bonus code (CGC 65915(p)). Although this maximum required parking ratio applies to the entire property, the Applicant is complying with SBMC Chapter 17.52 for the marketrate portion of the site.
The approved Project meets or exceeds the parking requirements for automobile and motorcycle parking as outlined in SBMC 17.52 and no changes are proposed. There are no requirements for bicycle parking for residential development projects; however up to 50 bicycle parking spaces will be provided onsite.
Pedestrian paths are provided throughout the site to facilitate internal pedestrian circulation across and within the site. All the required automobile and motorcycle parking spaces would be provided onsite as shown in Table 1. Vehicular access to the site would be provided from two driveway locations on South Nardo Avenue. In addition, direct access to the affordable senior housing building would be provided from the existing curb cut serving the existing multi-family units off Stevens Avenue located south of the intersection of South Nardo Avenue and Stevens Avenue.
All vehicle entrances would provide full movement driveways allowing inbound and outbound vehicular movements. The Project driveways are proposed to be unsignalized.
Pedestrian access to the project site would be provided via existing, new and/or improved perimeter sidewalks along South Nardo Avenue and Stevens Avenue.
Grading
Based on the grading plan submitted to the City in 2019, grading estimates are 187,000 cubic yards with 160,000 cubic yards of soil to be exported off-site. The project site varies from an elevation of approximately 61 to 68 feet above MSL, sloping upward from southeast to northwest. The majority of the proposed grading is intended to facilitate a general lowering of elevations on the site to address the potential for private view impairment and to facilitate internal circulation for pedestrians as well as vehicles.
The Engineering Department included a condition of approval that the Applicant shall make every effort to participate in the Sand Compatibility and Opportunistic Use Program (SCOUP) and deposit beach-quality sand excavated from the site up to a maximum of 150,00 cubic yards on City beaches for the export material identified as compatible with February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
beach sediment in accordance with the City’s SCOUP permits. The Applicant continues to express their interest in participating in the City’s SCOUP program and City staff continues to work with the Applicant on this element of the Project.
Lighting
No changes to lighting are proposed by the Applicant at this time.
Conditional approval of this Project included the requirement that all new exterior lighting fixtures be in conformance with the City-Wide Lighting Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance (SBMC 17.60.060). All light fixtures will be shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding area. Adequate lighting shall be provided in all parking areas used by the public for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement. A minimum lighting level of 0.2 foot-candles is required for all parking areas. All lights provided to illuminate any loading space or parking area shall be designed, adjusted, and shielded to avoid casting light toward public roads and adjoining residential properties.
Open Space
No changes to the Project open space areas are proposed by the Applicant at this time.
The Project is a high-density residential development within the HR Zone and, pursuant to the SBMC, requires common usable open space in the amount of 250 square feet per residential unit for a total of 65,000 square feet. The proposed Project provides a total of 65,434 square feet of open space. In addition, as designed, each of the proposed residential units has its own patio if it is a first-floor unit, or a balcony if it is a second-floor unit. These areas will be directly accessed from the residence.
The proposed Project includes passive usable open space areas as well as a small, fenced park area, along South Nardo Avenue. Other common area project amenities onsite would include a recreation facility/clubhouse building and associated recreation facilities such as a pool, spa, barbecue areas, bocce ball court, and walking paths.
Structure Development Permit
The Applicant has requested a waiver from the City’s SDP permit process and related story pole program for the proposed modifications to Buildings 13, 19 and 24. The City Council has final authority regarding the project entitlements including issuance of an SDP waiver.
Building 13 SDP Waiver Request: The Applicant is requesting to Amend condition X.a.i. requiring the reduction of Building 13 maximum height by six (6) inches from the revised story pole plan elevation submitted October 2, 2018, limiting the maximum building elevation for building 13 to 134.9 MSL. The manner in which the height reduction was to be achieved was left to the discretion of the Applicant. The Applicant is proposing to limit the maximum height of the easterly approximately 49 feet of Building 13 from 134.9’ MSL to 130.5’ MSL, a reduction of 4 feet, 6 inches in height, to be accomplished by eliminating one story for the building in this section and returning the flat roof approved in the original February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
DRP to a sloped roof and restoring the maximum height for the balance of the building to 139.9’ MSL as originally demonstrated by the story poles installed and certified on or about June 18, 2018, and changing the flat roof depicted on the original DRP to a roof sloped at a 3:12 ratio, consistent with the rest of the Project. A letter dated December 6, 2020 from John Wilson supports this request (See Attachment 2). All other potential claimants have had their view claims assessed as part of the October 2018 and November 2018 View Assessment process which story poled the entire building at 139.9’ AMSL. Since none of the revised building exceeds the height of the originally erected and 2018 certified story poles, and the claimant whose claim regarding Building 13 was approved and considered has indicated consent to the current redesign, no additional story pole erections are necessary to modify the SDP pursuant to this request.
Accordingly, a waiver can be granted by Council as it is reasonable to concluded that no new view impairment would occur from this Project modification.
Building 19 SDP Waiver Request: The revised building is largely consistent with the scale and massing of the previously approved Building 19, although small projections of the footprint occur on three sides of the building. No element of the roof exceeds the ridgeline that was depicted in the 2018 story pole construction. Each of the three additional projecting areas contains a roofed second-floor balcony or staircase, open on three sides, minimizing any potential adverse massing impact of the additional projections.
These additional projections do not create any additional view obstruction beyond that which has already been demonstrated by story poles erected in 2018 in conjunction with the review and approval of the Structure Development Permit. From all offsite vantage points, the newly proposed projecting areas are blocked by a future building approved through the SDP process or will be viewed with an approved structure behind it. In addition, the clubhouse building is located at the lower elevation of the easterly portion of the site and the highest ridgeline of the Clubhouse is well below both the existing and future natural landform as the site rises to the west.
The Applicant is requesting a Story Pole Waiver due to the lack of view impairment created by the horizontal projections of the revised designs. No view appellant listed a concern with the clubhouse building (Building 19) or any of the other nearby buildings during the View Assessment Process.
As shown earlier in the Staff Report, Figure 4 of Attachment 2 provides a plan view (overhead view) of the proposed clubhouse building (Building 19) with the approved story pole envelope/outline in blue. The numbers in red correspond to the number of the story pole, and the numbers in parentheses indicate the height in feet of the story pole above proposed grade which provides the maximum building height in that location depicted through the story poles.
The areas of the building depicted in blue represent two-story horizontal (i.e., lateral) projections beyond the original story pole footprint, while the areas in grey are singlestory areas that do not exceed 16 feet in height (and thus are not subject to the City’s SDP process). These projections occur on three sides of the building and range from 9 to 10 feet plus a 3-foot roof overhang for a maximum horizontal projection beyond the February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
story pole envelop of 13 feet. In all instances, the second floor projections are either a roofed open patio area or open exterior staircase.
The Story Pole Waiver is requested to allow the building to project beyond the original story pole footprint into these colored areas. Accordingly, should Council choose to do so, a waiver can be granted as it is reasonable to concluded that no new view impairment would occur from these Project modifications.
Building 24 SDP Waiver Request: The Applicant is requesting modification of the site plan exhibit in the Development Review Permit to shift Building 24 approximately 60’ feet to the east and waive the story pole requirement for this modification due to the fact that no new view blockage is created, the minor nature of the modification, the fact that Building 24 is – in both its original and proposed location – blocked by surrounding Buildings 13 and 15, and that no view claims were filed for Building 24 or nearby Building
14. Attachment 2 depicts the approved site plan location and the proposed location approximately 60 feet to the east towards Building 14. The shift of Building 24 is a minor modification, and no additional view impact will be created as illustrated in Attachment 2.
It is moved further away from the west, although maintains the same vertical massing when viewed from west to east. Accordingly, a waiver can be granted as no new view impairment would occur from this Project modification.
Vesting Tentative Map
No changes to the Vesting Tentative Map are proposed by the Applicant at this time.
Public Art
No changes to the Public Art Fee payable to the City are proposed by the Applicant at this time. The City’s Master Art Policy (MAP) indicates that when a residential with a building permit valuation of $500,000 or more and five (5) or more dwelling units, the Applicant will be required to pay the Public Art Fee of 0.5% of the total building valuation.
In the case of a redevelopment project such as the proposed project, the public art fee that is assessed would be based on the net increase of the 62 units provided onsite. This fee can be paid into the City-controlled Reserve Public Art Account or used by the developer to incorporate or purchase City-approved public art for their project. The public artwork may be located in immediate proximity to the said project or placed at a sited MAP location.
CEQA COMPLIANCE:
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for this Project in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA). The EIR was prepared as a Project EIR pursuant to Section 15161 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The FEIR was contained in two volumes plus the Findings of Fact approved by the City Council under Resolution 2018-131 on December 17, 2021. Following Project approval by the City Council, a Notice of Determination (Section 15375) was filed by the City with the San Diego County Clerk.
February 9, 2022
DRP MOD 20-0002 H.G. Fenton
The proposed modifications to the Project do not raise any new environmental issues or increase the level of impact previously considered and analyzed in the Final EIR Certified by the City Council in December 2018. Therefore, no new or subsequent environmental review is required due to the scope and nature of the modifications as proposed pursuant to the 2021 State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.

4. FINDINGS
Based on the totality of the record, the City Council makes the following findings:
A. In accordance with Section 17.68.040 (Development Review Permit) of the City of Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
I. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and all applicable requirements of SSMC Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance), including special regulations, overlay zones and specific plans.
General Plan Consistency: The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property as High Density Residential (HR). Multi-family residential development under this category will range between 13 and 20 dwelling units per acre. Other compatible uses such as accessory dwelling units, home occupations, religious institutions, educational institutions, parks and recreation facilities, and public utilities are permitted or conditionally permitted.
Assuming maximum development and an average household size of 2.4 persons per unit, population densities in these areas could be as high as approximately 48 persons per acre. Most of Solana Beach's high density residential development is located in the southwestern portion of the city (i.e., along the coastal bluffs south of the Plaza and in the area generally bounded by Via de la Valle, Solana Circle, Nardo Avenue, and Stevens Avenue). The project is proposing 260 residential units or 19.4 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Project may be found consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property as High Density Residential (HR) and may be found to be consistent with the following General Plan policies in the City's Land Use (LU) Element for residential land uses:
Policy LU-1.1: Encourage the development and protection of healthy residential neighborhoods by ensuring sensitive
transitions between those neighborhoods and

the general plan density requirements, assure
adequate parking, and assure adequate public
facilities, conversion of existing apartments to
condominiums or other similar forms of subdivision
shall be regulated pursuant to City zoning and
subdivision ordinances. The regulations shall ensure
that conversion of apartments to condominiums or
other similar types of subdivisions will meet current
standards for the construction of new condominiums or
other similar types of multi-family dwellings within the city.
Project Consistency: No condominium conversion is
proposed as part of this project.
Policy LU-1.4: Pursue opportunities to improve and protect existing residential neighborhoods by enhancing the pedestrian
and bicycle experience, implementing traffic calming
measures where appropriate, and providing
convenient access to schools, parks, beaches, and
other amenities and services.
Project Consistency: As described in the staff report,
the project includes 50 bicycle parking spaces and will construct extensive traffic calming measures and
pedestrian safety measures on streets adjacent to the
project.
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SOP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
Policy LU-6.6: Promote infill development, redevelopment, rehabilitation, and reuse efforts that protect and
contribute positively to existing neighborhoods and
surrounding areas.
Project Consistency: The project is located on an
existing developed infill site that will be reused and, through extensive landscaping and new construction,
contribute positively to the surrounding area.
Policy LU-6.7: Promote appropriate transitions in building height and bulk, which are sensitive to the visual and physical
character of adjacent neighborhoods.
Project Consistency: As described in the staff report,
the project has been subject to an extensive view
assessment process and has proposed major design
changes to ensure that it is sensitive to the visual and physical character of the adjacent neighborhoods.
The project is consistent with the following General Plan programs and goals in the City's Housing Element, including regional housing needs assessment/ local share goals and affordable housing goals, including:
(1) Continuing to implement the density bonus and affordable housing ordinances.
(2) Addressing and mitigating constraints to housing development by approving development standards and waivers needed for project construction and a fee waiver.
(3) Providing 32 affordable housing units for the elderly (seniors) as an identified "Special Needs Group" in the Housing Element. The continued affordability of these units will be ensured for 55 years, and that the rents be limited to those affordable to low income households.
(4) Meeting the local share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) as established by SANDAG by providing a portion of the 150 lower income units that are the City's share of the regional housing need.
(5) Developing a site with the 260 units that were identified as the site's potential in the City's Housing Element.
(6) Redeveloping an older apartment complex to preserve neighborhood quality.
Resolution 2018-132

The proposed project is also consistent with the requirements of Title 17 in that the proposed project density of 260 units is permitted with a density bonus. As designed the project meets the minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet in that each lot will be 1.25 acres and 11.64 acres in size, respectively. The proposed buildings will have a minimum front yard setback of 25 feet, side yard setback of 1 0 feet and rear yard setback of 25 feet as required in the HR zone. Per the City's parking ordinance, the project requires 494 parking spaces. The applicant is consistent with the parking ordinance requirement by proposing 525 parking spaces on-site. The parking provided for the affordable senior units is consistent with Section 6591 S(p) of the Government Code and the City's density bonus ordinance.
11. The proposed development complies with the following development review criteria set forth in Solana Beach Municipal Code Section
17.68.040.F:
(1) Relationship with Adjacent Land Uses: The development shall be designed in a manner compatible with and where feasible, complimentary to existing and potential development in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Site planning on the perimeter of the development shall give consideration to the protection of surrounding areas from potential adverse effects, as well as protection of the property from adverse surrounding influences.
The subject lot is located within the High Residential Density (HR) Zone. According to SBMC 17.20.010 this zone allows 13 to 20 dwelling units/net acre and is intended for multiple-family attached units such as apartments and condominium buildings. Such areas are located in close proximity to major community facilities, commercial centers and transportation routes. It is intended that development in this zone utilize innovative site planning, and provide on-site recreational amenities.
No significant adverse effects upon neighboring properties have been identified or are anticipated to occur from the project implementation, and the project has been extensively redesigned to protect view impacts. As conditioned, the proposed project gives consideration to the protection of surrounding areas from potential adverse effects and provides protection of the property from adverse surrounding influences. Additionally, the City Council has certified the FEIR for this project and has found that project impacts either will not occur, will be less than significant, or will be less than significant with mitigation in all the topic areas analyzed.
Resolution 2018-132
H-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
(2) Building and Structure Placement: Buildings and structures shall be sited and designed in a manner which visually and functionally enhances their intended use.
The Project includes a total of 24 buildings including one affordable senior housing building (Building 25) and one clubhouse/leasing center (Building 19). All parking would be provided onsite in either the form of a garage or surface parking including covered and uncovered and includes 233 garages, 22 covered spaces and 270 open/guest spaces.
Fifteen of the 24 buildings would be two stories in height and nine of the Buildings would be three stories in height. In general, the buildings located along South Nardo Avenue would be two stories and the buildings that are internal to the site would be three stories.
The affordable senior building would also be three stories and is located at the southeast corner of the site.
The project includes a total of 260 units with a breakdown as follows:
(a) 12 studio apartments that are 420 square feet in size (b) 128 one-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 517 to 954 square feet
(c) 120 two-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 731 to 1,212 square feet.
Each unit proposes private open space in the form of patios for the units on the ground floor and balconies for the units on the second floor.
Project amenities on site would include a recreation
facility/clubhouse building and associated recreation facilities such as a pool, spa, barbecue areas, walking paths, and passive usable open space. Additionally, the project would include a small private park along South Nardo Avenue to reduce effects to public and private views in proximity to the existing greenspace on site.
The SBMC includes development standards for high density residential development based on the zone in which the project is located, including required setbacks, maximum FAR, and building height. The proposed Project meets or exceeds all required setbacks, and is below the maximum allowable FAR.
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRPiSDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
Required parking and landscaping standards are contained in the City's Off Street Parking Design Manual (OSPDM).
The highest point of the Project is 149.5 above Mean Sea Level (MSL), measured at Story Pole #39, with the Project 25 feet at that location. The maximum height of the Project is 47.1' above the lowest point of the existing/proposed grade at Story Pole #86 where the project site elevation is 116 feet above MSL at that location. As required by State law, the City will waive development standards for height of buildings, retaining walls, and walls and fences that would otherwise physically preclude development of the property with the permitted density bonus.
(3) Landscaping: The removal of significant native vegetation shall be minimized. Replacement vegetation and landscaping shall be compatible with the vegetation of the surrounding area. Trees and other large plantings shall not obstruct significant views when installed or at maturity.
Per SBMC 17 .56.040, the proposed development is subject to the City's Water Efficient Landscape Regulations. The existing site contains developed areas and vegetation consisting of both native trees and non-native ornamental trees, shrubs and other plant species.
The conceptual landscaping plan for the Project proposes 261,266 square feet of landscaped area which is equal to approximately 45% of the project site. During construction of the proposed Project, it is anticipated that all of the existing trees, shrubs and other vegetation would be removed as part of the proposed Project due to the extent of grading that is proposed on site to lower pad elevations.
The Project has been conditioned to comply with the LCP LUP Policy 3.53 regarding mitigation for native tree species removed from a project site. The inclusion of five (5) California Syacmores would replace the existing mature 5 California Sycamores on site is in accordance with City LCP requirements for native tree mitigation.
The Project would include the installation of mature (boxed) trees to reduce visual and aesthetic effects from the loss of the existing vegetation on site. Larger shade trees would include approximately 10 84-inch box Coast Live Oaks along the southern edge of the site and approximately 60 trees that would be a mix of Coast Live Oaks, Aleppo Pines, and California Sycamores, in 24-inch boxes Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
throughout the site. A further mix of trees ranging in size and style includes over 400 trees to be planted on site.
The landscape plan includes the use of native species and/or drought-tolerant plant material. No invasive or potentially invasive species would be used. Planting is intended to be a connecting device linking the various pieces of the project site and design styles. The landscape plan uses plant material to help define spaces, create/encourage circulation paths, emphasize entry points, and provide softness and scale to the architecture.
Evergreen, deciduous, and flowering material are proposed throughout the site and mature native trees are proposed. New landscaping would use significantly less water than the current landscaping, as the proposed project would use reclaimed water for all landscape uses and would also comply with all California landscape water-usage standards.
The Applicant's conceptual landscape plan has been reviewed by the City's third-party landscape architect who has recommended approval of the conceptual landscape plan. The Applicant would be required to submit detailed construction landscape drawings that would be reviewed by the City's third-party landscape architect for conformance with the conceptual plan. In addition, the City's third-party landscape architect would perform inspections during the construction phase of the project. A separate condition has been added to require that native or drought-tolerant and noninvasive plant materials and water-conserving irrigation systems are required to be incorporated into the landscaping to the extent feasible.
(4) Roads, Pedestrian Walkways, Parking and Storage Areas: Any development involving more than one building or structure shall provide common access roads and pedestrian walkways. Parking and outside storage areas, where permitted, shall be screened from view, to the extent feasible, by existing topography, by the placement of buildings and structures, or by landscaping and plantings.
Residential projects in the City are required to comply with parking standards in SSMC 17.52. The parking requirements for the affordable senior housing element are per the State bonus density code (CGC 6591 S(p)). Although this maximum required parking ratio could apply to the entire property, the Applicant is complying with SSMC Chapter 17.52 for the market-rate portion of the site (e.g., 228 units).
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/A!fordab!e Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
The proposed Project meets or exceeds the parking requirements for automobile and motorcycle parking as outlined in SBMC 17.52.
The proposed project includes 525 onsite parking spaces, 50 bicycle spaces, 17 motorcycle spaces and 9 accessible spaces.
Pedestrian paths are provided throughout the site to facilitate internal pedestrian circulation across and within the site.
Vehicular access to the site would be provided from two driveway locations on South Nardo Drive. In addition, direct access to the affordable senior housing building would be provided from the existing curb cut serving the existing multi-family units off Stevens Avenue located south of the intersection of South Nardo Drive and Stevens Avenue.
All entrances would provide full movement driveways allowing inbound and outbound movements. The Project driveways are proposed to be unsignalized.
Pedestrian access to and from the project site would be provided via new and/or improved perimeter sidewalks along South Nardo Drive and Stevens Avenue.
(5) Grading: To the extent feasible, natural topography and scenic features of the site shall be retained and incorporated into the proposed development. Any grading or earth-moving operations in connection with the proposed development shall be planned and executed so as to blend with the existing terrain both on and adjacent to the site. Existing exposed or disturbed slopes shall be landscaped with native or naturalized non-native vegetation and existing erosion problems shall be corrected.
Grading is proposed in the amount of 175,000 cubic yards with 154,000 cubic yards of soil to be exported off-site. The project site varies from an elevation of approximately 39 to 150 feet above MSL, sloping upward from southeast to northwest. The majority of the proposed grading is intended to facilitate a general lowering of elevations on the site to address the potential for private view impairment and to facilitate internal circulation for pedestrians as well as vehicles.
The Engineering Department has included a condltion of approval that the Applicant shall participate in the Sand Compatibility and Opportunistic Use Program (SCOUP) and deposit soil exports on city beaches if the Applicant's soil engineer determines that any or all of the soil to be exported is compatible with beach sediments in accordance with the City's SCOUP permits.
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDPNTPM/Aflordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
(6) Lighting: Light fixtures for walkways, parking areas, driveways, and other facilities shall be provided in sufficient number and at proper locations to assure safe and convenient nighttime use. All light fixtures shall be appropriately shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding areas per SBMC
17.60.060 (Exterior Lighting Regulations).
Conditional approval of this Project includes the requirement that all new exterior lighting fixtures be in conformance with the CityWide Lighting Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance (SBMC
17.60.060). All light fixtures will be shielded so that no light or glare is transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental to the surrounding area. Adequate lighting shall be provided in all parking areas used by the public for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement. A minimum lighting level of 0.2 foot-candles is required for all parking areas. All lights provided to illuminate any loading space or parking area shall be designed, adjusted, and shielded to avoid casting light toward public roads and adjoining residential properties.
(7) Usable Open Space: Recreational facilities proposed within required usable open space shall be located and designed to maintain essential open space values.
The Project is a high-density residential development within the HR Zone and, pursuant to the SBMC, requires common usable open space in the amount of 250 square feet per residential unit for a total of 65,000 square feet. The proposed project provides a total of 65,434 square feet of open space.
ln addition, as designed, each of the proposed residential units has its own patio (first floor units) or balcony (for second floor units) that is directly accessed from the residence.
The proposed project includes passive usable open space areas.
Additionally, the proposed project would include a small park area, along South Nardo Avenue.
The site currently has a recorded easement as part of the County of San Diego's approval of Special Use Permit No. P. 68-187 prior to the City's incorporation. The language of the recorded easement specifically allows for amendments to the original Special Use Permit (SUP) as well as additional activities authorized by the Grantee. By virtue of city incorporation, the City is now holds the recorded easement's Grantee interest. As such, the site is subject to the City's zoning regulations. Provided that Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRPiSDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
all the required findings for issuance of the City's Development Review Permit (DRP) can be made, it would constitute the Grantee's authorization and act as an amendment to the SUP or supersede the SUP in its entirety ..
Ill. Portions of the property that is the subject of this application are subject to a Grant of Open Space Easement recorded July 6, 1970 in the Official Records of San Diego County for the benefit of the County of San Diego as Grantee. The City is now the Grantee as the successor in interest to the County upon incorporation.
The Open Space Easement provides that:
(i) no portion of the Open Space shall be graded, excavated or fi lled except in compliance with said Special Use Permit No. P 68-187 (as the same may be from time to time amended) or an authorization by Grantee in implementation thereof and (ii) no natural or artificial improvements shall be constructed, installed, erected, permitted or maintained (other than the natural and artificial improvements complying with said Special Use Permit No. 68-187 (as the same may be from time to time amended) or an authorization by Grantee in implementation thereof).
The City's requirements for a Development Review Permit and a Structure Development Permit are equivalent to the Special Use Permit approved by the County in 1970, and the City's approval of the Development Review Permit and the Structure Development Permit constitutes an amendment to Special Use Permit No. 68-187, allowing development and grading of the site as shown on the approved plans.
The City as Grantee hereby authorizes the amendment of the Grant of Open Space Easement to permit grading, excavation, and fill and construction, installation, erection, permission, and maintenance of those natural and artificial improvements as shown on the approved plans for the Development Review Permit and the Structure Development Permit.
IV. All required permits and approvals including variances, conditional use permits, comprehensive sign plans, and coastal development permits have been obtained prior to or concurrently with the development review permit.
All required permits and approvals required by the City, including the SOP, VTPM and Affordable Housing Plan, Fee Waiver, and Density Bonus with Waiver of Development Standards are being processed concurrently with the Development Review Permit.
The Project is also located within the Coastal Zone as the entire City of Solana Beach is within the Coastal Zone. As a condition of project approval, the Applicant will be required to obtain a Coastal Development Resolution 2018-132
17-14·29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
Permit, Waiver, or Exemption from the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit by the City.
V. If the development project also requires a permit or approval to be issued by a State or federal agency, the City Council may conditionally approve the development review permit upon the applicant obtaining the required permit or approval from the other agency.
The Applicant is required to obtain approval from the California Coastal Commission prior to issuance of building permits. The FEIR that was certified for this project does not include mitigation measures that require permits or approval from other agencies. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was adopted for this project as a part of certification of the FEIR. All applicant proposed project design features are included as conditions of project approval.
8. In accordance with Section 17.63.040 (Structure Development Permit) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
1. The Applicant for the Structure Development Permit has made a reasonable attempt to resolve the view impairment issues with the person(s) requesting View Assessment. Since 2014, the Applicant has changed the project design to address claims filed in 2015 by lowering the overall elevation/grade of the site. Additional modifications have been made to address 2018 view claims. The key changes include, but are not limited to, dropping building pads between 3 feet and 17.5 feet, moving the secondary driveway 114.5 east resulting in Buildings 5 and 10 to be moved westerly, lowering Building 12 ridgeline 6 additional feet to address 2018 claim, lowering Building 13 ridgeline additional 4.5 feet to address 2018 claim, and relocating units from Building 12 to accommodate the dropped roofline.
These changes have been certified and included in the revised story pole plan.
2. There is no public property adjacent to the site, except right-of-way therefore, the proposed structures do not significantly impair a view from public property.
3. The proposed structures are designed and situated in such a manner as to minimize impairment of views. The Applicant has dropped building pads onsite by increasing the amount of soil to be excavated and exported off site. The proposed export of materials has lowered building pads between 3 feet and 17.5 feet. Additionally, reduced building heights from three stories to two stories has resulted in lowering of rooflines by as much as 19 feet from the original 2014 proposed project. The lowering of Building 13 from the October 2018 revised story-pole plan by an additional six (6) inches, combined with the project being conditioned to limit tree and other Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
landscape height, not to exceed the height of Building 12, will sufficiently minimize view impairment.
4. There is no significant cumulative view impairment caused by granting the application. There have been no new or proposed projects in the area that would contribute to cumulative view impairment impacts. As described in the staff report the Applicant has revised the project since 2014 to address all potential private view impairments.
5. The proposed structures are compatible with the immediate neighborhood character. The Applicant has designed the project with similar architectural features, materials, roof types and colors that can be found in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The Applicant will be required to show compliance with the approved maximum height and three-dimensional building envelope that was approved by the SOP at the time of submittal for a building permit and also prior to requesting a framing inspection.
C. In accordance with Chapter 16.24 (Minor Subdivision) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
I. That the proposed lot or parcel was not approved or recorded less than two years prior to the filing for approval of the subject vesting tentative parcel map.
The proposed lots within this vesting parcel map boundary have not been recorded within the last two years. The existing legal parcels created under Subdivision Map numbers 1757 and 6672 were recorded with the County Recorder's Office of the County of San Diego on 6/27/1923 and 6/25/1970 respectively.
II. , That the proposed lot or parcel was a legally created lot or parcel.
The proposed tentative parcel map boundary consists of existing legal parcels created under Subdivision Map numbers 1757 and 6672 recorded with the county recorder office of the County of San Diego on 6/27/1923 and 6/25/1970 respectively.
Ill. That the proposed subdivision proposes creation of less than five (5) lots.
The proposed subdivision will only create a total of two parcels.
IV. That the vesting tentative parcel map meets the requirement of this code.
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
The proposed Vesting Tentative Parcel Map meets all requirements of Chapter 16.24, as well as the State Subdivision Map Act as defined in section 66425.5.
V. That the proposed lot or parcel was not part of an approved tentative parcel map wherein the parcel map requirement was previously waived.
The proposed tentative parcel map boundary consists of existing legal parcels created under Subdivision Map numbers 1757 and 6672 recorded with the County Recorder's Office of the County of San Diego on 6/27/1923 and 6/25/1970 respectively. The proposed parcels were not part of an approved parcel map where the parcel map requirement was previously waived.
VI. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans and applicable provisions of SBMC Title 17.
The proposed Vesting Tentative map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans and applicable provisions in that the proposed each parcel meets the minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, will have a minimum street frontage of 60 feet, and will have a minimum lot depth of 100 feet as required by the HR zone district.
VII. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The project site is physically suitable for the type of development in that the site is currently developed as a multi-family residential development and is proposing to be used as multi-family residential development project that is consistent with the permitted density of a maximum 20 dwelling units per acre.
VIII. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as demonstrated in the site plan, grading plan, and all other supporting studies prepared for the Project Environmental Impact Report. The zoning and General Plan Land Use allow for a maximum density of up to 20 dwelling units per acre. When developed the project density will be 19.59 dwelling units per acre for Parcel 1 and 18.08 dwelling units per acre for Parcel 2 for a total density of 19.4 dwelling units per acre.
IX. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements would not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Af!ordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements would not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat as analyzed in the Project's EIR. The subdivision itself will not change or alter the site.
However, the Project EIR identified two mitigation measures that would ensure impact to biological resources would be reduce to less than significant by, 1) requiring a Tree Protection Plan be submitted to the City's satisfaction, and 2) requiring a project biologist to conduct pre-construction survey in the proposed project impact area and a 500-foot buffer around the impact area no earlier than 7 days prior to any on-site grading and construction activities during the bird nesting/breeding season.
X. That the design of the subdivision will not cause serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision itself will not cause serious public health problems, and Project's EIR has identified 17 mitigation measures that would reduce potentially significant environmental impacts to a less than significant standard for development of the 260 unit multi-family residential project.
XI. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or easements established by court judgement, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision and 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.
The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements of record, nor any easements acquired by the public at large. Any public easements or easements acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property, including necessary for public utilities, for the new development shall be provided and recorded as part of the final map.
D. In accordance with Section 16.17.020(H) (Vesting Tentative Maps) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
I. On the basis of the studies and reports submitted by the subdivider, all public facilities necessary to serve the subdivision or mitigate any impacts created by the subdivision will be available for the entire time that the vesting tentative map is valid plus any time during which the rights conferred by Section 16.17 .030 exist. ·
E. In accordance with Chapter 17.70 (Affordable Housing) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
I. The Affordable Housing Plan is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 17.70 by providing 15.5 percent of units affordable to low income senior households. The developer has agreed to the limitation on rents in exchange for a density bonus and waivers of development standards pursuant to Government Code Section 65915.
11. State and federal fair housing laws require that senior housing be contained in a separate building, so that the affordable senior units cannot be geographically separated, Because senior households are almost entirely comprised of one or two persons, and primarily one person households, the City hereby approves fewer two-bedroom units in the senior housing than proposed for market-rate housing.
F. In accordance with Section 17.70.045 (Fee Waiver) of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following:
I. The provision of the fee waiver is needed to provide for affordable housing needs identified in the housing element which otherwise would not be met, based on the memorandum dated November 29, 2018 from Keyser Marston Associates, which concluded that the proposed project demonstrates the need for financial assistance related to the provision of the 32 low income units, that the fee reduction would not provide a windfall profit to the developer, and that the fee reduction is warranted by the project's economic characteristics.
G. In accordance with Section 17.20.050 of the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the City Council finds the following regarding the density bonus and waiver of development standards:
I. By providing 15.5 percent low income units, the project qualifies for a density bonus of 57 additional dwelling units. The developer has applied for a density bonus of 53 additional dwelling units, permitted by Government Code Section 65915(f).
II. The development standards being waived would physically preclude development of the project with the density bonus to which the project is entitled. Without the proposed waiver, pad elevations required to fulfill the design goals while minimizing view impairment would not be feasible.
Driveways could not be constructed to facilitate vehicular or pedestrian access to building pads set at elevations that allow the project to be built to minimize view impairment. The intent of the walls is to allow the new buildings on the north side of the site to step down from South Nardo Avenue $0 that the buildings are no taller than or closer to the street than the existing development.
H. In accordance with California Government Code Section 65863 (No Net Loss Findings), requiring cities to demonstrate that it has adequate Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
capacity to accommodate its regional housing need, the City Council finds the following:
I. The City's 2013 - 2017 Housing Element identified Solana Highlands as having a capacity for 260 total units, resulting in a net increase of 66 units, and that the 66 units could be constructed at a density suitable for lower income housing. The proposed project contains 260 total units, but results in a net increase of only 62 units and contains only 32 lower income units. Section 65863(b)(2) requires the City to demonstrate that the remaining sites identlfied in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the City's share of the regional housing need for lower income housing.
II. The City's total lower income need for the 2013-2021 period was 150 units. The City has approved 10 lower income units on South Sierra Street (the Pearl). If 32 low-income units are approved in Solana Highlands, the City's remaining lower income RHNA will total 108 units. 111. The Housing Element identified sites for up to 280 lower income units, significantly more than the 150 required. The four largest sites remaining (City Hall (14 units), 140 South Sierra Parking Lot (20 units), and North County Transit District Station (113 units)) together can accommodate 14 7 lower income units, well in excess of the 108 units required.
Therefore, the City has more than adequate sites to accommodate the City's share of the regional housing need for lower income housing.
5. CONDITIONS
Prior to use or development of the property in reliance on this permit, the Applicant shall provide for and adhere to the following conditions:
A. Community Development Department Conditions:

The Applicant has subsequently agreed to add six (6) additional parking spaces on Lot B for a total of 43 spaces on Lot B.
The six (6) additional spaces shall be added at the north side of the proposed parking area for Lot B. The six (6) additional parking spaces shall be designated as "visitor" parking.
b. Quantity of Parking Spaces for the Project. All references to "parking spaces" mean parking for cars and trucks, not motorcycles. The Applicant has proposed a total of 525 parking spaces for the Project.
With the six (6) additional visitor parking spaces for lot Bas provided in Subsection (a) above, the Project and Project Plans shall provide a total of five hundred thirty-one (531) parking spaces (a cumulative total for tenants and visitors) for the Project (includes Lot A [market rate apartments] and Lot B [affordable senior apartments]). All parking spaces shall be in compliance with the City's Off-Street Parking Manual.
The zoning applicable to the Project based on the type of apartments (e.g., amount of bedrooms in each apartment) and quantity of apartments in the Project requires a total of 494 parking spaces (this is the total for both tenants and visitors, and includes ADA parking spaces). The Project shall provide a total of 531 parking spaces.
Thus, in order for the Applicant to provide 531 parking spaces, the Resolution 2018· 132

There will be a maximum of 37 reserved parking spaces
available for tenants, no unreserved parking spaces for tenants, and 6 visitor parking spaces. Thus, the 43 parking spaces are allocated as follows:
37 maximum reserved parking spaces for tenants (based
on 1 space for studio apartment, 1 space for one
bedroom, and 2 spaces for two bedrooms)
0 minimum reserved parking spaces for tenants
6 visitor parking spaces
=43 total parking spaces on Lot B
Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDPNTPM/Alfordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
c. Reserved Parking Spaces for Tenants. The Applicant shall assign reserved parking spaces for tenants of the Project as provided herein. However, the Applicant shall not reserve for or assign to any tenant more reserved parking spaces than as follows: 1 parking space for a studio apartment; 1 parking space for a one bedroom apartment; and 2 parking spaces for a two bedroom apartment. The Applicant shall not reserve any "visitor'' parking spaces on the Project.
The Applicant shall prepare a written parking plan (the "Parking Plan") and identify thereon which garages, carport parking spaces, and uncovered parking spaces are assigned to each apartment as reserved parking spaces for each apartment and the location of all unreserved tenant parking spaces and visitor parking spaces in the Project. The Applicant shall submit the Parking Plan to the City Manager on or before March 1 , 2020 for approval thereafter by the City Council.
With regard to the parking spaces on Lot A, the Applicant shall assign one (1) garage parking space to each apartment (to the extent there are sufficient quantity of garages, noting there are more apartments than garages) for the exclusive use of that apartment so that all garage parking spaces on Lot A are assigned to specific apartments.
After assigning all garage parking spaces to specific apartments, then the Applicant shall assign one (1) covered carport parking space to each apartment that does not have a garage parking space assigned to the apartment (to the extent there are sufficient quantity of carport parking spaces, noting that there are more apartments than garages and carport parking spaces combined). After all garage parking spaces and carport parking spaces have been assigned to apartments, then the Applicant shall assign one (1) uncovered parking space to each of the remaining apartments that do not have a garage or carport parking space assigned to that apartment. In addition, if an apartment is a two-bedroom apartment, then the second reserved parking space assigned to a two bedroom apartment will be an uncovered parking space.
The garages that are located in the building where the apartment is located will be assigned first to the apartments located in that same building and then to the apartments located closest thereto. The same principal will be · used to assign reserved carport parking spaces and reserved uncovered parking spaces.
The apartment and the garage and/or covered carport parking space and/or uncovered parking space(s) assigned to each specific apartment for the exclusive reserved use of the tenant of that Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDPN TPM/Affordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
apartment shall constitute a single premises for the purpose of the rental of that apartment.
Tenants who have apartments with assigned reserved parking space(s) (either garage, carport, and/or uncovered parking space) shall be required by their lease to park in their assigned reserved parking spaces and not in the unreserved parking spaces. The Applicant shall strictly enforce this requirement by providing appropriate enforcement provisions and remedies in the leases, including monetary penalties and/or towing for violations.
For the purpose of example and not for limitation, if the tenant of a two bedroom apartment consists of two occupants with two vehicles and the tenant's apartment has a reserved garage parking space and a reserved uncovered parking space assigned to the tenant's two bedroom apartment, then the tenant shall park in the garage and reserved uncovered parking space and shall not park in an unreserved parking space. However, if there are three occupants of the two bedroom apartment and the assigned garage and reserved uncovered parking spaces are being used by two of the occupants, then the third occupant will park in an unreserved uncovered parking space.
The purpose of the requirements herein are to have each garage and covered carport parking space assigned to a specific apartment to ensure that all garages and covered carport parking spaces in the Project will be used for parking before the unreserved tenant parking spaces are used, thereby making available to tenants of the Project as many unreserved uncovered parking spaces as possible for the shared use of all tenants of the Project. With parking spaces available in the Project, tenants are discouraged from parking off site in the neighborhood surrounding the Project.
1) Request by the Applicant for Conversion of Unreserved Parking Spaces to become Reserved Parking Spaces on Lot A. The
existing development on the Property that will be demolished to construct the Project does not have sufficient parking spaces for the tenants and visitors of the Property. Consequently, many tenants and visitors to the Property park on the streets in the neighborhood near the Property. This has caused a shortage of parking in the neighborhood and other negative impacts.
The Applicant has represented to the residents of the
neighborhood and area near the Property and the City Council that the 531 parking spaces to be provided by the Project will provide a sufficient quantity of parking spaces for tenants and Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDP/VTPM/Alfordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
visitors of the Project so that they can park on the Property, not on the streets of the surrounding neighborhood. However, if the Applicant wants to increase the amount of uncovered reserved parking spaces on Lot A by converting some of the "unreserved" uncovered parking spaces to become "reserved" uncovered parking spaces (Applicant shall not increase the amount of reserved parking spaces on Lot B), then the Applicant may request approval from the City Council to convert up to thirty-one (31) of the eighty-eight (88) total unreserved uncovered parking spaces to become reserved uncovered parking spaces.
In addition to the foregoing, the opportunity for the Applicant to request modification of the Parking Plan as provided herein shall include the opportunity for the Applicant to request modification of the allocation of reserved and unreserved parking spaces for tenants of the Project and consideration of other issues concerning the management of tenant and visitor parking for the Project in order to achieve the goal of preventing tenants and visitors of the Project from parking on South Nardo Avenue and on the streets in the surrounding neighborhoods.
In connection with the Applicant's request, the Applicant shall submit a proposed modified Parking Plan which identities and changes such unreserved uncovered parking spaces to become reserved uncovered parking spaces (the "Modified Parking Plan") to the City Council for approval. The Modified Parking Plan shall be accompanied by documentary analysis, data, and information which establish and demonstrate that the the Appplicant's proposed Modified Parking Plan will not cause, encourage, or otherwise result in tenants or visitors of the Project parking on the streets in the neighborhood adjacent to the Project and will eliminate and prevent on-street parking by tenants and visitors. The goal and actual effect of any Modified Parking Plan shall be to have all tenants and visitors of the Project park in the Project, not on nearby streets, and eliminate or prevent their onstreet parking and the reasons or incentives for tenants and visitors to park on the streets. The Modified Parking Plan shall demonstrate that it will achieve this goal and produce the actual desired result and thereafter it shall actually achieve this goal. lf the Applicant elects to request an increase in the amount of reserved uncovered parking spaces by converting unreserved uncovered parking spaces as provided herein, then the Applicant shall submit the Modified Parking Plan and supporting analysis and documents required herein to the City Manager on or before Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 ORP/SOP/VTPM/Affordabie Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
March 1 , 2020 for consideration and approval thereafter by the City Council.

g. No Charge for Parking. There shall not be any charge or fee to park in the Project, whether for any tenant of the Project (reserved or unreserved parking spaces) or their respective invitees, guests, and visitors. There shall not be any charge or fee for any parking spaces for tenants (reserved or unreserved), whether the parking spaces are provided as required by zoning or not, any parking spaces for visitors, and for any parking spaces constructed in the Project that exceed the total amount of spaces required by zoning.
The foregoing prohibition against the Applicant charging for any parking spaces in the Project shall not apply to the Applicant charging a higher rent for each apartment that includes exclusive reserved use of a specific identified garage and/or covered carport parking space assigned to that specific apartment for the exclusive use of that apartment. However, in order to permit this exemption Resolution 2018-132
17-14-29 DRP/SDPNTPM!Alfordable Housing Plan, H.G. Fenton
from the prohibition against charging for parking spaces, each garage and uncovered carport parking space in the Project shall be assigned to a specifically identified apartment for the exclusive use of that apartment, with one garage or covered carport parking space assigned to each apartment as provided in Subsection (c) above.
The garage parking spaces and covered carport parking spaces shall be assigned to the extent of the quantity of garages and covered carport parking spaces in the Project (i.e., there are more apartments than garages and carport parking spaces).
h. Access to Parking. There shall not be any gate, barrier, or other restriction to access any driveway/vehicle access to the Project. i. No Assignment to Third Party. No parking spaces in the Project shall be assigned, sold, conveyed, transferred to any third party owner or otherwise reserved for any tenant beyond the amount of parking spaces allocated to the tenant's type of apartment as provided herein.
j. Garages Shall be Used for Parking. All leases and rental agreements for tenants or occupants of the Project shall provide that garages and covered parking spaces in carports shall be used for vehicle parking and incidental storage of personal property. The Applicant shall strictly enforce this requirement by providing appropriate enforcement provisions and remedies in the leases, including monetary penalties for violations.
