This change is necessary to accommodate a required stormwater detention facility located within the affordable pad. The addition of this detention basin prevents the construction of the footings necessary to provide carports in this location. As you know, the senior affordable housing applied the parking regulations found in the California Density Bonus Law {Gov. Code Section 65915{p){l).) As such, the provisions of CMC Chapter 21.44 are inapplicable and no covered parking was required. Compliance with PoUcy 35 -Consistency Determination Criteria -Removal of Carports In order for the proposed paint improvements to be considered consistent with the original approval of SOP 00-10, the followi_ng findings must be made: (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; Response: Carports were not considered essential to the project's design, quality, safety, or function. Covered parking was not required for the affordable units. (2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Response: The request results in no change to the design features or materials associated with the senior affordable housing. (3) The proposed revision does not change the density (i.e., the addition of units) or boundary of the subject property; Response: The removal of 11 carports does not change the density, intensity, or boundary of the subject property. (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.); Response: The revision does not involve the addition of a new land use. (S) 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); Response: The revision does not rearrange major land uses within the development. (6) The proposed revision does 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); On an aggregate project basis -parking, open space, common area or landscaping; Response: Covered parking was not required and is not an applicable development standard. Accordingly, the project remains compliant with applicable development standards, as modified by the density bonus request approved by resolution No. 2020-215. The proposed revisions do not create changes to an applicable development standard greater than 10%. (7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require additional mitigation; Response: The elimination of the carports does not result in any significant environmental impact and does not require any additional mitigation. (8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety, or welfare impacts; Response: The proposed modifications do not result in any health, safety, or welfare impacts. 2 (9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated wi.th the original project which would be exacerbated with the proposed change; and ' Response: The carports were not associated with any major issues or controversies associated with the original approval of the Marja Acres master plan. (10) The proposed change would not be readily discernible to the decision makers as being substantially different from the project as originally approved. Response: The carports proposed to be eliminated are in an area of limited visibility, behind the future apartment complex, below the private loop road, and adjacent to a manufactured slope. Accordingly, the proposed change would not be readily discernible to the decision makers as substantially different from the project as originally approved. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please do not hesitate to contact me with additional questions or concerns. Sincerely, Jonathan Frankel Atlantis Group 3
