PROJECT SUMMARY -CHABAD CARLSBAD
CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION, MARCH 6, 2024
This Consistency Determination (CD) request seeks to accelerate the delivery of
basement improvements consistent with prior city approvals for CUP 10-12(A). Chabad
Carlsbad now has funding to entitle and construct these overdue improvements which
will optimize operational efficiency and modernize the interior use of the structure. No
enlargement of the existing Chabad structure is proposed for either the upper floor or
basements. The CD request does exchange the location of currently approved interior
uses between the upper floor and basement areas, without proposing any new uses or
invoking more intensive parking requirements. A primary element of the proposal is
increased storage area in the basement and office relocations to upper floor. No exterior
changes are proposed to the structure, the site or parking area.
Prior contractor efforts involved a day care element for the basement which is not being
authorized or pursued by Chabad Carlsbad. Prior plancheck processing for building
permit CB 2023-080 will be formally withdrawn.
Attached are approved and proposed floor plans for both the basement and upper floor
areas with data tables summarizing floor plan changes. Also attached is the CD
application form and the Findings required to be satisfied by governing Policy 35.
CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION FINDINGS PER POLICY #35
See Project Description, Application Form P-16, and exhibits in addition to Findings
1. No project condition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had
been considered essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function; the
proposal is to adjust Chabad Carlsbad interior uses and floor plan
elements of the already approved CUP 10-12(A) between the upper floor
and basement approved with CUP 10-12(A), and increase the amount of
needed storage space in the basement. Therefore, no project element is
being changed or deleted since the proposal will increase operational
efficiency.
2. The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and/or materials
and improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood;
the proposal is mostly neutral in this regard since no changes to the
exterior appearance, design features or materials is being proposed. No
impact or change to compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and
adjacent land uses will occur.
3. The proposed revision does not change the density (i.e. the addition of units) or
boundary of the subject property; the project is not a residential land use with
corresponding density element; this finding is not applicable to this
proposal.
4. The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new land use not shown
on the original permit (e.g. adding a commercial use to a residential project,
replacing single family units with attached residential units, vice versa for each
example, etc); the proposal does not introduce a new land use, nor invoke a
higher standard parking for the increase in storage/warehouse space in the
basement, and the swapping of already approved basement uses with
approved/existing upper level floor plan uses.
5. The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the
development (e.g. it does not exchange the locations of single family units with
attached units); this proposal does not re-arrange major land uses onsite. the
modification of interior floor plan uses are internal to the operations of the
Chabad Carlsbad land use with no exterior modification elements or
changes to the site.
6. The proposed revision will not create changes of greater than ten percent (10%),
provided that compliance will be maintained with the applicable development
standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code as follows:
Per individual lot or structure -yards, setbacks, coverage or height (height
reductions of >10% are permitted); no changes to any of these elements
are proposed.
On an aggregate basis -parking, open space, common area or
landscaping; no changes to any of these elements are proposed. See
exhibits for summary of existing and proposed square footage amounts
(no change or increase); square foot summary of existing/approved
uses for basement and upper level vs proposed floor plan uses and
square footage amounts; no increase in parking is invoked relative to
the baseline of parking required, approved and already provided.
7. The proposed change will not result in any environmental impact and/or require
additional mitigation; the proposal represents interior modifications to the
existing Chabad use and structure (Class 1 CEQA Exemption) and will not
alter or change the existing approval's compliance with CEQA and
environmental review.
8. The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts;
the buildout of the approved basement and corresponding re-location of
upper level and basement uses to optimize Chabad operational function
and efficiency will not result in any health safety or welfare impacts.
9. There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original
project which would be exacerbated with the proposed change; the approval of
the basement with CUP 10-12(A) did not involve major land use issues or
community controversies. The proposed modification will not invoke such
issues or create controversy.
10. The proposed change would not be readily discernible to the decision makers as
being substantially different from the project as originally approved; given the
interior improvements and swapping of approved/existing floor plan uses
within the Chabad, the proposed changes will not be discernible or visible
to the general public or decision makers. No exterior changes to the site or
Chabad structure are proposed.

INSTRUCTIONS:
To address post-development pollutants that may be generated from development projects, the city requires that new
development and significant redevelopment priority projects incorporate Permanent Storm Water Best Management
Practices (BMPs) into the project design per Carlsbad BMP Design Manual (BMP Manual). To view the BMP Manual, refer
to the Engineering Standards (Volume 5).
This questionnaire must be completed by the applicant in advance of submitting for a development application (subdivision,
discretionary permits and/or construction permits). The results of the questionnaire determine the level of storm water
standards that must be applied to a proposed development or redevelopment project. Depending on the outcome, your
project will either be subject to 'STANDARD PROJECT' requirements, "PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (PDP)
requirements or not considered a development project. This questionnaire will also determine if the project is subject to
TRASH CAPTURE REQUIREMENTS.
Your responses to the questionnaire represent an initial assessment of the proposed project conditions and impacts. City
staff has responsibility for making the final assessment after submission of the development application. If staff determines
that the questionnaire was incorrectly filled out and is subject to more stringent storm water standards than initially assessed
by you, this will result in the return of the development application as incomplete. In this case, please make the changes to
the questionnaire and resubmit to the city.
If you are unsure about the meaning of a question or need help in determining how to respond to one or more of the
questions, please seek assistance from Land Development Engineering staff.
A completed and signed questionnaire must be submitted with each development project application. Only one completed
and signed questionnaire is required when multiple development applications for the same project are submitted
concurrentlv
