It is the Planning Director's determination that the project is consistent with the City's Hillside Development Ordinance, Chapter 21.95 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and therefore APPROVES this request based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findinus: 1. ' Hillside conditions have been properly identified on the constraints map (Exhibit "C", dated September 25, 1996) which shows existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages. 2. Undevelopable areas of the project, i.e. slopes over 40% inclination, have been properly identified on the constraints map (Exhibit "C", dated September 25, 1996). 3. The development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose and requirements of the Hillside Development Ordinance, Chapter 21.95 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, in that: (a) natural resource areas, wildlife habitats, and native vegetation areas will not be impacted; (b) minimal grading, adequate building setback from edge of slope, and a generous amount of landscaping will ensure preservation of the natural appearance of the hillside; (c) the hillside development will be aesthetically pleasing due to the satisfactory architecture, landscaping and site design; and (d) all hillside conditions have been incorporated into the planning process. 2075 Las Palmas Dr. Carlsbad, CA 92009-1 576 - (61 9) 438-11 61 - FAX (61 9) 438-0894 a3 - HDP 96-06 - WILSON hcSIDENCE SEPTEMBER 25, 1996 PAGE 2 (e) the project complies with the land use and open space conservation elements of the Carlsbad General Plan; (f) erosion and siltation will be minimized through sound grading techniques. (9) a minimal amount of grading is needed to support the proposed project design (h) the intensity of development on hillside areas is minimized such that the proposed development will be compatible with the existing topography. 4. The proposed grading and development will not occur in the undevelopable portions of the site, as shown on Exhibits "A"-"C", dated September 25, 1996. 5. The grading design minimizes disturbance of hillside lands in that proposed grade closely follows the existing topographic trend and 2,700 cubic yards of grading over a 0.437 acre area (6,178 cy/ac) is considered "acceptable" by the City's Hillside Development Ordinance. 6. The project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concept illustrated in the Hillside Development Guidelines Manual in that development concepts such as screening of graded slopes and retaining walls, decreasing building volume downslope and terraced building foundations are incorporated into the project. 7. The Planning Director has found that, based on the EIA Part-ll, this Subsequent' Project was described in the MElR 93-01 as within its scope; AND there will be no additional significant effect, not analyzed therein; AND that no new or additional mitigation measures or alternatives are required; AND that therefore this Subsequent Project is within the scope of the prior EIR; and no new environmental document nor Public Resources Code 21081 findings are required. 8. The Planning Director finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the MElR 93-01 which are appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project. 9. The. project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the applicable local facilities management plan, and all City public facility policies and ordinances since: a. The project has been conditioned to ensure that building permits will not be issued for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for .. - HDP 96-06 - WILSON hcSlDENCE ' SEPTEMBER 25, 1996 PAGE 3 this project. b.
