Creating a livable, attractive, and

environmentally sensitive community is a

challenge throughout California.

The Poinsettia community, through its

comprehensive planning approach, is aimed at

providing desirable homes, recreational

opportunities, and habitat restoration. With

provisions for trails with regional connections,

bikeways, and habitat conservation/restoration,

this community embraces and protects the

hometown character and exceptional quality of

life in the City of Carlsbad.

Poinsettia Vision

Poinsettia Lane connection completes the “missing

link” for circulation in the community

Completion of Poinsettia

Bridge vs. At-Grade Road

• Maintains the canyon’s hydrologic integrity eliminating the need for a

culvert

• Provides a biological corridor for wildlife movement

• Less direct impacts to biological resources (avoids all riparian habitat)

• Identified in “Key Goal” for Public Works

2015-2016 Operating Budget and Capital

Improvements Program

• Providing relief to traffic congestion

• Improving effectiveness of public

transportation and Emergency Response

(Police, Ambulance and Fire Protection)

• Financed via a Bridge and Thoroughfare

District

Open Span Bridge Design

Bridge Span = 275’

Bridge Height = 35’

Open Space/Habitat Preservation

• Coordination with wildlife agencies throughout the process

• Open space will be maintained in perpetuity

• 51% of the site will be open space

• Residential areas will be located in

the lowest quality habitat

• The entire open space area will be

subject to fire recovery stewardship

• Bridge avoids direct impacts to

Riparian habitats

• Poinsettia bridge will maximize

wildlife movement

Property History

• 2003 - The Bridges at Poinsettia - 386 Townhomes

• 2006 - Pontebello Senior Community – 428 Units

Previously, higher density concepts have

been proposed on this site:

Poinsettia is proposing a significantly less dense

community

• 140 Single Family Detached Homes

• Reduction in previously proposed onsite inclusionary

homes

• Poinsettia design is more consistent with the

surrounding neighborhoods

Developable Areas

Open Space

Habitat Management Plan

Developable Areas By Parcel

Through negotiations with the

Agencies and the City, and by

providing the Open Span

Bridge, we have been able to

concentrate Neighborhoods 1,

2 & 3 on previously

disturbed/degraded habitat

areas and leave the majority

(51%) of the site as Open

Space

for the multigenerational family,

living under one roof

The purchase of 8 off-site credits has allowed for the required 23

The 15 on-site inclusionary residences will be distributed throughout

the community as a part of the “Plan 4” models (41 total)
