CHERRY BEACH HOMES, based on the following findings and subject to the following
conditions:
Findings:
Planned Development Permit (PUD 2024-0002)
1. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan, and complies with all applicable
provisions of this chapter, and all other applicable provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, in
that the General Plan Land Use designation for the property is R-23 Residential, allows
residential development at a density range of 15-23 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The project
site has a net developable acreage of 0.18 acres. As three residential units are proposed (16.7
dwelling units per acre), the project complies with the R-23 General Plan Land Use designation
for density. The project is consistent with all remaining development and design standards
applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.16 Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)
Zone, 21.45 (Planned Developments) and 21.82 (Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ) of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code.
2. The proposed project will not be detrimental to existing uses, or to uses specifically permitted in
the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely impact the site,
surroundings, or traffic, in that the three-unit residential air-space condominium project is
compatible with existing surrounding single-family and multiple-family residential uses as
permitted by the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone and does not create any traffic or
circulation impacts, as Garfield Street and Cherry Avenue are adequately designed to
accommodate the 24 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) being generated.
3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the three-
unit residential air-space condominium project has been designed to comply with all applicable
development standards to ensure compatibility with surrounding single-family and multiple-
family residential uses.
4. The project's design, including architecture, streets, and site layout a) contributes to the
community's overall aesthetic quality; b) includes the use of harmonious materials and colors,
and the appropriate use of landscaping; and c) achieves continuity among all elements of the
project, in that the architectural character of the project is a beach contemporary style featuring
rectangular massing, gable roofs, and a number of balconies with decorative railings. Primary
building materials include horizontal and vertical siding, stucco and brick; and utilizing white,
tan, light gray and dark gray as primary color values. Dark gray, light gray, and tan composite
asphalt shingles cover a 3:12-pitched roof on each building. A conceptual landscape plan has
been reviewed for the site and a final landscape plan is conditioned to be approved prior to
grading permit issuance. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping) create
continuity in the overall project design.
Site Development Plan {SDP 2024-0013)
5. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings,
is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, will not be detrimental
to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be
located, and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, in that the
project consists of the demolition of an existing single-family residence, duplex, and detached
accessory structure, and the construction of a three-unit residential air-space condominium
project on a 0.18-acre in-fill site located at 180 Cherry Ave. The site is surrounded by a mix of
existing single-family and multiple-family residential developments. The proposed three-unit
residential project, at a density of 16.7 du/ac, is consistent with the R-23 Residential (15-23
du/ac) General Plan Land Use designation. The project is consistent with the various elements
and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in the findings below and Section "A" of the
project analysis. The proposed three-unit residential project will not be detrimental to existing
uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which the use is located in that residential
is a permitted use within the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone and is compatible with the
other residential uses surrounding the project site, including single-family and multi-family
residential uses. The three-unit residential air-space condominium project, comprised of three
detached single-family dwellings will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or traffic
circulation in that the existing surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the
24 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) generated by the project. The project complies with all minimum
development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including but not limited to the R-3
Zone, Beach Area Overlay Zone, and the Planned Development Ordinance. Furthermore, the
project is adequately parked on-site and does not result in any significant environmental
impacts.
6. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that
as demonstrated in the project staff report, the three-unit residential air-space condominium
project complies with all development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage,
private open space, number of parking spaces, and height restrictions) of the Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, and the Planned Development Ordinance.
7. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the
requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and
maintained, in that as demonstrated in the project staff report, the three-unit residential air-
space condominium project complies with the development standards (i.e., front, side and rear
setbacks, lot coverage, private open space, number of parking spaces, and height restrictions)
of the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, and the Planned
Development Ordinance. A horizontal metal-slat fence is proposed along west and north
property lines (six feet high) and in some front yard areas (3.5 feet high). All proposed fencing
complies with the Zoning Code. Landscaping of the property, including the areas along Garfield
Street and Cherry Avenue, will be provided consistent with the requirements of the city's
Landscape Manual. Two street trees are proposed to be removed and will be replaced at a 2:1
ratio, either on-or off-site, which is acceptable to the Parks and Recreation Department.
8. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the three-unit residential air-space condominium project
will take access off both Cherry Avenue and Garfield Street, which are identified as village
streets and designed to adequately handle the 24 ADTs generated by the project. The proposed
project will construct frontage improvements as required to accommodate driveways and
improvements to the pedestrian ramp at the corner of Cherry and Garfield.
Coastal Development Permit (CDP 2024-0016}
9. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified
Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies, in that the site is designated R-23
Residential (15-23 du/ac) for single-family, two-family, and multi-family residential
development by the Mello II Segment of the LCP. The project consists of the demolition of an
existing single-family residence, duplex, and detached accessory structure, and the construction
of a three-unit residential air-space condominium project on a 0.18-acre in-fill site located at
180 Cherry Ave. The proposed three-unit residential project, at a density of 16.7 du/ac, is
consistent with the R-23 Residential (15-23 du/ac) designation. The proposed three-story units
will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor
otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on
the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. In addition, the proposed
three-unit residential condominium project is not located in an area of known geologic
instability or flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public
opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the
residentially designated site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
10. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the shoreline. Therefore, the three-
unit residential air-space condominium project will not interfere with the public's right to
physical access to the ocean and, furthermore, the residentially designated site is not suited for
water-oriented recreation activities.
11. That the project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the three-unit residential air-space
condominium project will adhere to the city's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm
Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP}
to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No undevelopable steep slopes or
native vegetation is located on the subject property and the previously graded site is not located
in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
12. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the Land
Use Plan, certified September 1990 and Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fees are not required
in accordance with the provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the
Zoning Ordinance).
13. The project is not between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and therefore, is
not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204
of the Zoning Ordinance).
Minor Subdivision (MS 2024-0003)
14. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable
specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act,
and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the three-unit residential air-space
condominium project created through the minor subdivision satisfies all the minimum
requirements of Title 20 and has been designed to comply with other applicable regulations
including the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, the Planned
Development Ordinance, and the R-23 Residential General Plan Land Use designation.
15. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding
properties are designated R-23 Residential for residential development at a density of 15-23
dwelling units per acre. Surrounding properties are also zoned Multiple-Family Residential (R-
3) and are developed with multiple-family residential projects of a similar density or
underdeveloped lots containing one single-family home.
16. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is
adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed in
that all required development standards and design criteria required by the Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone, the Planned Development Ordinance, and the Beach Area Overlay Zone
are incorporated into the three-unit residential air-space condominium project.
17. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements
of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for
access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the three-unit
residential air-space condominium project has been designed and conditioned so that there are
no conflicts with established easements. The applicant is required to construct frontage
improvements as required to accommodate new driveways and construct improvements to the
pedestrian ramp at the corner of Cherry Avenue and Garfield Street.
18. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act
of 1965 (Williamson Act).
19. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the structures are designed to include
balconies and operable windows oriented to maximize exposure of each unit to natural light
and ventilation from nearby coastal breeze.s.
20. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed by this
subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the public
service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental resources.
21. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, in
that the three-unit residential air-space condominium project site has been previously
developed and is surrounded by existing development.
22. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing California
Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the three-unit residential air-space
condominium project will adhere to the city's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm
Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP)
to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion.
