A developer is asking Carlsbad to change the zoning from industrial to residential on 7 acres sandwiched between the Viasat campus and a neighborhood of single-family homes in the Bressi Ranch community.
If approved by the Carlsbad City Council, the change would allow Toll Brothers to build a gated community of 111 luxury, three-story townhomes with a total of 252 parking spaces on the parcel surrounded by Gateway, Alicante and Town Garden roads. The entrance and exit would be on Gateway Road.
The vacant property is adjacent to a small commercial center and the Viasat campus, a wireless communications company sprawled across both sides of El Camino Real south of Palomar Airport Road.
A majority of the Carlsbad Planning Commission recommended Wednesday that later this year the City Council allow Toll Brothers to begin work with city staffers on the zoning and plan amendments needed for the project to proceed.
“We estimate a 12- to 24-month processing time for that,” said Assistant Director of Community Development Eric Lardy in a presentation to the Planning Commission.
During that time, the developer and the city would address community concerns, update environmental documents, and address other issues raised by the proposal.
