2. REZONE 76-5 AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR TENTATIVE
TRACTS 7654 AND 9373 (PATRICK DEVELOPMENT)
(85) Council received copies of a report dated September 1 , 1976,
from the Director of Planning forwarding the recommendation
made by the Planning Commission at their meeting of July 27,
1976, that Rezone 76-5 and Tentative Tract Maps 7654 and 9373
be approved and that the Environmental Impact Report be
accepted. The proposal is to subdivide and develop approximately
-2- 9/1/76
69 acres of land into 176 RS (Single Family) and ES (Small
Estate) parcels located at the terminus of Camino Santo
Domingo, adjacent to the existing San Juan Terrace develop-
ment. The applicant is Patrick Development, 10509 San Diego
Mission Road, San Diego.
The Director of Planning made a slide presentation of the area
under consideration and maps were on display. Mr. Merrell
reviewed the plans for traffic circulation and access to the
development, including the extension of Calle San Remo, and
the extension of La Novia as a commuter street. Larger set-
backs are designed for the lots along the commuter street to
accommodate the adverse impacts of noise and traffic and to
act as a buffer. Circular driveways are planned for the lots
facing the commuter street in order to alleviate traffic
problems. The Planning Commission has recommended the preser-
vation of existing trees as a condition of approval; the trees
have been identified on the tentative map.
Mr. Merrell further advised that the Commission would be con-
sidering composite elevations, plot plans, and grading at
the tentative map stage of future developments.
Councilman Heckscher questioned the lack of park facilities
for the development and stated that proposed developments
should not receive approval unless park amenities are included.
Councilman McDowell noted that traffic problems may arise if
Calle San Remo is extended. Councilman Friess suggested that
park property be provided with maintenance to be assumed by
a homeowner's association.
Mr. Merrell noted that the condition for phasing of the
development is to be included in the conditions of approval.
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Nash
declared the Public Hearing open on Rezone 76-5 and the
Environmental Impact Report for Tentative Tracts 7654 and
9373, as proposed by Patrick Development, and requested that
'the representative of the developer address the Council.
Mr. Tim Kruer, representing Patrick Development , addressed
the Council and explained the organization of their' cd4pany.
Mr. Kruer stated that particular attention had been given to
preserving the natural state of the property with the higher
elevation being reserved for open space; the homes will be
low profile with the smaller lots concentrated on the valley
floor; it is planned that an "old wooden bridge" would be
constructed at the intersection of the commuter road and the
equestrian trail; there would be no problem with developing
a parksite, but Mr. Kruer questioned the advisability of
maintenance being provided through homeowner association
assessments. Architects ' renderings of the types of homes
proposed were available for Council consideration.
Councilman Friess inquired whether the developer had addressed
the possible restrictions of the California Coastal 'Lone
Conservation Commission regarding sewer hookups; Mr. Kruer
advised that the developer was aware of possible restrictions.
The Director of Public Works advised that the developer would
not be issued building permits until the Coastal Zone permit
is received. Councilman Heckscher stated that the awareness
of the Coastal Zone permit condition should be a specific
part of the approval of the tracts.
Councilman Heckscher noted that all of the drawings reflect
garages fronting the street, which is a continuing problem
of unsightliness in subdivision developments . Mr. Kruer
advised that the garages could be constructed out of sight
on the more level lots which could be a partial solution to
driveway problems on the commuter street lots; additional
padding would be required on the higher lots .
Councilman Sweeney noted that the Patrick company is the first
developer in the City with the National HomeOwners Warranty
-3- 9/1/76
program; Mr. Kruer advised that his company intends to
request that the HOW program be substituted for the City 's
Warranty program. Mr. Sweeney inquired if solar heating had
82 been considered; Mr. Kruer stated that it was not considered
due to the costs involved and that their sensitiveness to
keeping the costs low is one of the reasons that grading was
kept at a minimum.
The following persons then addressed the Council:
1. Bruce Church, 26851 Canyon Crest Road, President,
San Juan Alliance of Homeowners, noted his concerns
regarding installation of sidewalks, bike trails ,
neighborhood parks and equestrian system. He
further stated that homeowners associations can
function well if established properly.
2. Michael Berns , 26921 Canyon Crest, questioned the
proposed density of the area as reflected in the
General Plan.
I
The Director of Planning advised that the density is as set
forth in the General Plan; the areas surrounding the property
in question reflect lower densities. The equestrian trails
in the development are included as a feeder system, and the
developer is dedicating those trails to the City.
There being no one else wishing to address the Council, Mayor
i
Nash declared the Public Hearing closed.
Council discussion followed, which included such items as
hooking up the equestrian trail with the Master Plan of
Trails and the requirements of the Land Use Management Code,
i. e. , grading, padding of lots and slopes, and Coastal Com-
mission stipulations.

It was moved by Councilman Sweeney, seconded by Councilman
Heckscher and unanimously carried to determine that the
