I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 7053 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of Tentative Tract Map (CT 14-02), to the City Council, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJEa DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The proposed project consists of a conversion of an existing three story office building to commercial condominiums.. As proposed, the single ownership interest will be subdivided into six undivided interests ofthe real property coupled with six condominium exclusive use airspace units. The project, consisting of 10,548 square feet of office space, was originally constructed in 2006 under RP 02-02 and is located within Land Use District 7 of the Carlsbad Village Master Plan. The project site is located on the west side of Jefferson Street between Grand Avenue and Arbuckle Place. The adjacent properties have been developed with office, single-family, and multi-family residential projects as described in Table A below. The existing three story office building was previously reviewed and approved by both the Planning Commission and City Council consistent with the Carlsbad Village Master Plan. The proposed application also requires City Council approval pursuant to the Carlsbad Village Master Plan who has final authority to approve or deny a Tentative Tract Map following a recommendation from the Planning Commission. The six unit Tentative Tract Map project as proposed is in compliance with all City standards and staff is recommending approval ofthe project. Table A below includes the General Plan designations, zoning and current land uses of the project site and surrounding properties.

ANALYSIS The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards, and policies: A. Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation; B. Village Review (V-R) Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35), District 7, Carlsbad Village Center (Village Master Plan and Design Manual); C. Subdivision Ordinance; and D. Growth Management Regulations (Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of the above regulations is discussed in the sections below. A. Village General Plan Land Use designation The Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation includes the following goals forthe Village: A City whicti preserves, eniiances and maintains ttie Village as a place for living, working, stiopping, recreation, civic and cultural functions while retaining the Village atmosphere and pedestrian scale; A City which creates a distinct identity for the Village by encouraging activities that traditionally locate in a pedestrian-oriented downtown area, including offices, restaurants, and specialty shops; A City which encourages new economic development in the Village and near transportation corridors to retain and increase resident-serving uses; and A City that encourages a variety of complementary uses to generate pedestrian activity and create a lively, interesting social environment and a profitable business setting. The proposed airspace subdivision of an existing three story commercial office building into six separate ownership units is consistent with the goals for the Village General Plan Land Use designation as it continues to encourage economic development and greater employment opportunities in the Village, and retains the Village character and pedestrian scale through adherence to the land use regulations and design guidelines set forth for the area. B. Village Review Zone (CMC Chapter 21.35), Land Use District 7, Carlsbad Village Center (Village Master Plan and Design Manual) The proposed airspace subdivision of an existing three story commercial office building into six separate ownership units is consistent with the Village Review Zone, Land Use District 7, and the Carlsbad Village Center (Village Master Plan and Design Manual) in that no new buildings or expansion of buildings is proposed. CT 14-02 - BICAJESSEE ADVENTURES June 4, 2014 Page 3 Subdivision Ordinance The project includes the airspace subdivision of an existing three story commercial office building into six separate condominium ownership units and is therefore subject to the regulations of Chapter 20.16 of the Subdivision Ordinance. These subdivision regulations require the project to include required street dedications and improvements (streets, sewer, water, and drainage) to serve the proposed subdivision. The Land Development Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed Tentative Tract Map and has concluded that the subdivision, as conditioned, complies with all the applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Jefferson Street is a publicly dedicated roadway and no additional improvements or dedication of streets is required. All infrastructure improvements, including street frontage, drainage, sewer, and water facilities exist. No standards variances are needed to approve the project. Given the above, the proposed subdivision would provide all necessary facilities and improvements without producing land conflicts; therefore, the project is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance. D. Growth Management Regulations The project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The impacts on public facilities created by the existing office building and the project's compliance with the adopted performance standards were analyzed and evaluated at the time of approval for RP 02-02. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15301(k) "Existing Facilities" ofthe State CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
