Mr. Cook indicated the airport has a height referral area, which is basically for every one hundred feet from the end of the runway; a building can go up one foot. The edge of the APA (Airport Protection Area) is 7,100 feet from the end of the nearest runway. These buildings would be well below that. Ms. Fox asked if this was a congregate care facility licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division? She asked how many units would have kitchens? Mr. Aschenbrenner said it was licensed under that division as well as others. He said 690 units (or all) would have kitchens. Ms. Fox referred to the proposed park, which was shown as nearly thirty acres in the General Plan, but is only seventeen acres in this proposed plan. She asked if the Carlsbad facility had properties nearby that provided public amenities, such as libraries, or whether the residential experience was confined to the property? She felt the park should be expanded to 22 acres. Mr. Aschenbrenner believed the concern was whether the residents needed or would use other public facilities. He said the residents mostly use facilities inside the property. There are organized activities to go out to plays, etc. The residents don't use libraries or parks very much. Most of the residents provide a lot of volunteer services to the community. Philip Blank referred to the housing cap and wanted clarification on whether it was existing plus approved (25,459 and 559) or built, under construction and approved? Ms. Stern explained the cap figure in the report represented the housing cap minus built, under construction and approved. Mr. Blank said he was concerned about noise from the airport and asked if there were noise attenuation elements in the construction. Mr. Cook understood there were requirements in that regard and they would comply with whatever requirements existed. The units are solidly built to a higher standard than regular residential units. Mr. Blank asked about the skilled nursing care element. Mr. Cook said there is 24-hour skilled nursing care available and they can perform whatever functions necessary. Mary Roberts asked about the previous proposal for a baseball diamond and why it is not in this plan? Mr. Iserson said the Little League has lost interest in this site and Mr. Cook indicated the group has gone to the Las Positas site in Livermore. Ms. Roberts referred to the 568 senior rental units and asked how many of those were affordable? Joint Workshop City Council/Planning Commission 3 10/11/05
