The Planning Division has completed a review of your application for a Conditional Use Permit Extension,
CUP 260(D)x1 -Palomar Transfer Station, located at 5960 El Camino Real on 10.98 acres of land. The
project was approved on November 6, 2012 and expired on November 6, 2014 (the request for an
extension was submitted prior to the permit expiring on November 4, 2014). After careful consideration
of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1) the project is still in
compliance with the Conditional Use Permit regulations Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 21.42,
and (2) that the findings required for granting a Conditional Use Permit extension can be made; therefore,
the City Planner APPROVES Conditional Use Permit Extension No. CUP 260{D)x1 for two (2) years
(retroactively from November 6, 2014 to November 6, 2016), based on the following findings and
conditions.
Findings:
1. All of the findings contained in the Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907 dated October 3, 2012
and City Council Resolution No. 2012-243 dated November 6, 2012 for CUP 260(D} apply to this
extension and are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect.
2. That the two (2)-year extension (retroactively from November 6, 2014 to November 6, 2016) is
appropriate because the owner/applicant is diligently pursuing finalizing all necessary permits, the
project is still consistent with the Conditional Use Permit regulations, and the extension would allow
the owner/applicant to preserve existing property entitlements while satisfying the conditions for the
construction of a green waste bay (CUP 260(D)).
3. That such permits and approvals as extended are consistent with the requirements of Title 21 of this
code at the time of their extension.
4. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines
Section 15303 -new construction of small structures. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the San
Diego County Clerk on November 9, 2012.
Conditions:
1. This Conditional Use Permit extension is granted retroactively from November 6, 2014 to November
6, 2016. If building permits for this project are not obtained within this time period, the Conditional
Use Permit extension will expire on November 6, 2016, unless extended per Section 21.58.040 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code.
2. All of the conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907 dated October 3, 2012
and City Council Resolution No. 2012-243 dated November 6, 2012 for CUP 260(D) apply to this
extension and are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect except for Planning
Condition No. 8 in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907 which is superseded by Condition No.
