ITEM NO. 2
DATE: January 23, 2006
SUBJECT: RP 04-24 "Madison Square": Request for a Major Redevelopment Permit to
allow the construction of a 6,234 square foot, three story, four-unit condominium
on the property located at 2737 Madison Street in Land Use District 1 of the
Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Area.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Design Review Board ADOPT Design Review Board Resolution No. 305
recommending APPROVAL of RP 04-24 to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission
based on findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCESS
The proposed project requires a major redevelopment permit because it involves new
construction of a building that has a building permit valuation greater than $150,000. The
project also requires processing of a Minor Subdivision (MS 04-17) subject to the City
Engineer's approval because the project involves separate ownership of four dwelling units. In
accordance with redevelopment permit procedures, the major redevelopment permit is being
brought forward for a recommendation by the Design Review Board and for final approval by the
Housing and Redevelopment Commission.
The Design Review Board is being asked to hold a public hearing on the permit requested,
consider the public testimony and staffs recommendation on the project, discuss the project
and then take action to recommend approval or denial of the project.
The proposed project is not located within the Coastal Zone; therefore, a Coastal Development
Permit is not required for the subject project.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant and part owner, Bruce B. Baker, has requested a Major Redevelopment Permit
for a 6,234 square foot, three-story four-unit condominium project. The property is located at
2737 Madison Street in Land Use District 1 of the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Area. The
subject property is currently vacant totaling 8,648 square feet after a 20 foot street dedication,
with building frontage along Madison Street. The vacant site is bordered by a surface parking
lot to the south, postal office and surface parking lot to the west, a one-story residential
MADISON SQUARE
JANUARY 23,2006
PAGE 2
apartment building to the north, and a one-story office building across Madison Street to the
east. The majority of the east and west side of Madison Street include single-family and
multifamily residences and the majority of Arbuckle Place includes residences on both sides of
the street.
According to City records, the last known use for this site was a detached 768 square foot
single-family dwelling unit, which was in a state of deterioration. The property owner at the time,
not seeing any value in the structure, demolished the unit in 1994 in order to make the property
more marketable. To this date, the lot has remained vacant.
IV. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The General Plan includes the following goals for the Village: 1) a City which preserves,
enhances and maintains the Village as a place for living, working, shopping, recreation, civic
and cultural functions while retaining the Village atmosphere and pedestrian scale; 2) 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; 3) a
City which encourages new economic development in the Village and near transportation
corridors to retain and increase resident-serving uses; and 4) 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 General Plan objective is to implement the
Redevelopment Plan through the comprehensive Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives for the Village, as outlined
within the General Plan, because it provides for a multi-family residential use in an appropriate
location within the Village. This in turn serves to enhance the Village by providing the
necessary residential support. The location of the project will provide the new residents an
opportunity'to walk to shopping, recreation and mass transit functions. The new residential units
will enhance the Village as a place for living and working. The project will also be close to
existing bus routes, furthering the goal of new economic development near transportation
corridors.
V. CONSISTENCY WITH VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA VISION. GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES
The proposed project will be able to address a variety of objectives as outlined within the Village
Master Plan and Design Manual as follows:
GoaM: Establish Carlsbad Village as a Quality Shoppinci, Working and Living Environment.
The proposed project will result in the development of new condominium units where residents
will be located in District 1, the retail and commercial core of the Village Area. The new
residences will increase the number, quality and diversity of housing units within the Village,
particularly those in proximity to transit, shopping and employment for those people seeking to
reside in the downtown area. The attractive architectural design will serve to enhance the site
and the,surrounding area.
Goal 2: Improve the Pedestrian and Vehicular Circulation in the Village Area. The project will
provide a new sidewalk that will connect with the existing sidewalk south of the property
improving pedestrian circulation. Additionally, the proposed project will be in close proximity to
MADISON SQUARE
JANUARY 23,2006
PAGE 3
both bus and rail mass transit options and will thus encourage and promote the use of mass
transit, further improving vehicular circulation in the Village.
Goal 3: Stimulate Property Improvements and New Development in the Village. The Master
Plan and Design Manual was developed in an effort to stimulate new development and/or
improvements to existing buildings in the Village. The intent is that new development or
rehabilitation of existing facilities will then stimulate other property improvements and additional
new development. One of the objectives of this goal is to increase the intensity of development
within the Village. The proposed project will assist in the continued effort to improve the Village
Redevelopment Area, specifically by developing an existing vacant lot. Staff sees the
development of the vacant subject property as a key catalyst for future redevelopment along
both Madison Street and Arbuckle Place.
Goal 4: Improve the Physical Appearance of the Village Area. The project has a design that is
visually appealing and sensitive to surrounding development within the area. The architecture
of the new structure meets the requirements of the design guidelines for the Village. The new
structure is three stories, and is stepped back from the property lines, which reduces the impact
the building has on the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, construction of the proposed
project will reinforce the Village character with appropriate site planning and architectural design
and materials that comply with City standards and requirements.
VI. CONSISTENCY WITH VILLAGE LAND USE PLAN
The site of the proposed project is located within Land Use District 1 of the Village
Redevelopment Area. Multi-family residential projects are a provisional use within this district.
Considerations that must be addressed to assess the appropriateness of this particular
provisional use within District 1 are: 1) that the multi-family residential use is appropriate to the
site and adjacent development, and 2) that the site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate required on-site parking without adversely affecting the visual environment of the
Village. Staff concludes that the proposed project complies with both of these considerations.
First, the multi-family use is consistent with the adjacent land uses, which include a one-story
apartment building to the north, a post office and surface parking lot to the south and west, and
a one-story office building to the east. Also, a majority of the surrounding properties along
Madison Street and Arbuckle Place are residential uses, which makes the proposed project
compatible with the surrounding area. Finally, staff has determined that the site is adequate in
size and shape to accommodate the required on-site parking for both the future residents and
their visitors.
Location and development criteria that must be assessed for provisional multi-family projects
within District 1 are that; 1) residential and parking uses should not displace desired retail uses
or lessen active street frontage, 2) sites should accommodate parking requirements on-site or
below grade, 3) residential units should not be placed in proximity to health hazards, 4)
provision should be made to buffer train noise, and 5) multi-family housing located near the rail
station should be constructed as part of a mixed-use development project.
Staff concludes that the proposed project complies with the criteria for the following reasons.
First, the proposed residential project will not displace desired retail space along the 2700 block
of Madison Street for a majority of the uses are currently residential and are compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. Second, all proposed parking for the project is contained on site
MADISON SQUARE
JANUARY 23, 2006
PAGE 4
and is placed on the first floor with garages for residents and covered spaces for visitors as
specified within the Village Design Guidelines. Thirdly, the adjacent land uses are residential
and offices, which do not subject the future residents of the proposed project to any potential
health problems. Fourthly, the proposed project is two and a half blocks to the east of the train
tracks, has buildings in between the proposed project, and the project includes double paned
windows which all help to buffer noise from nearby passing trains. An acoustical analysis of the
project concluded that no interior or exterior noise mitigation would be necessary at any location
on-site. Lastly, the proposed project is located in a neighborhood dominated by residential
uses, which limits the need for a mixed-use project.
The overall vision for the development of District 1 (Carlsbad Village Center) is to provide a mix
of shops, restaurants, entertainment uses, visitor accommodations, and commercial services
encouraging mutually supportive uses to provide a major activity focus for the Village and the
City of Carlsbad as a whole.
Staff believes that the proposed residential units, assists in satisfying the goals and objectives
set forth for Land Use District 1 through the following actions: 1) the project provides a new
residential development that will improve the physical appearance of the village area, and 2) the
building is designed in a manner that compliments nearby residential uses by incorporating
many of a same architectural elements found in nearby residential projects, ample building
setbacks and an abundance of landscaping, finally 3) the project provides a residential use that
is complimentary to the retail and commercial services by bringing more people twenty-four
hours a day and within walking distance to the Village Center.
VII. CONSISTENCY WITH VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The specific development standards for new development within Land Use District 1 are as
follows:
Building Setbacks: The Village Master Plan and Design Manual establishes the front,
rear and side yard setbacks for the property. In Land Use District 1, the required front yard
setback is 0 to 10 feet and the side and rear yard setbacks have no minimum or maximum
requirement. All setbacks are measured' from property lines. The front yard setback of the
proposed building is 10 feet from the front property line after a 10 foot street dedication. On the
north side yard, the setback is 3 feet 1 inch feet from the side property line. The south side yard
has a setback of 16 feet 7 inches. The rear of the building is located 11 feet from the rear
property line. The proposed project is consistent with the setback requirements set forth for
Land Use District 1.
Building Coverage: The range of building footprint coverage permitted for all residential
projects in Land Use District 1 is 60% to 80%. For the proposed project, the building coverage is
54%, which is below the established range. While the bottom of the range is considered the
desired standard, unlike the setback requirements, a variance is not required for building
coverage that is below the standard range. Therefore, the building coverage is in compliance
with the established standard and the lesser coverage allows for ample parking and recreational
areas.
MADISON SQUARE
JANUARY 23, 2006
PAGES
Building Height: The height limit for Land Use District 1 is 35 feet with a minimum 5:12
roof pitch. The proposed project will have a maximum height of 33 feet and a roof pitch of 5:12.
Therefore, the building height is in compliance with the established standard.
Open Space: A minimum of 20% of the property must be maintained as open space.
The open space must be devoted to landscaped pedestrian amenities in accordance with the
City of Carlsbad's Landscape Manual. Open space may be dedicated to landscaped planters,
open space pockets and/or connections, roof gardens, balconies, and/or patios. Qualified open
space for the proposed project includes: landscape and hardscape on the ground floor of the
front, rear, and sides of the building. The project provides for a total of 2,396 square feet of open
space, which represents 27.7% of the site and is consistent with the open space requirement.
Parking: The parking requirement for a multi-family dwelling is two standard spaces per
unit and Vz guest parking space per unit. The project provides four two-car garages and two
guest parking spaces, which satisfies the parking requirement for District 1.
Planned Development: The Village Master Plan includes a specific condition for
residential units proposed for separate ownership which states that all such units shall comply
with the development standards and design criteria set forth by the Planned Development
Ordinance, Chapter 21.45 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
In addition to the development standards set forth in the Village Master Plan, the Planned
Development Ordinance provides development standards for recreational space, lighting,
utilities, recreational vehicle storage, tenant storage space, and antennas. The project was
found to comply with each of the development standards and design criteria of the Planned
Development Ordinance. The following is an analysis of how the project provides for the
development standards set forth in the Planned Development Ordinance, that are standards not
already addressed within the Village Master Plan:
Recreational Space: Private recreational space shall be provided for all planned
development projects with fewer than ten (10) units through a 15'x15' patio or 120 square feet of
balcony area for each unit. Plan 1 has three (3) separate deck areas totaling 202 square feet
and Plan 2 has two (2) separate deck areas totaling 201 square feet, which exceed the
requirement for recreational space.
Lighting: Lighting adequate for pedestrian and vehicular safety and sufficient to
minimize security problems shall be provided. As a standard condition of approval, the
applicant shall be required to submit a lighting plan, subject to the approval of the Planning
Director, prior to issuance of a building permit. This condition has been incorporated into
attached DRB Resolution No. 305.
Utilities: There shall be separate utility systems for each unit. This condition has been
incorporated into attached DRB Resolution No. 305.
Tenant Storage Space: The Planned Development Ordinance requires separate storage
space of at least four hundred eighty (480) cubic feet for each unit. If all the storage for each
unit is provided in one area, this requirement may be reduced to three hundred ninety two (392)
cubic feet per unit. This requirement is in addition to closets and other indoor storage areas that
are normally part of a residential dwelling unit. Each unit has been designed with 406 cubic feet
MADISON SQUARE
JANUARY 23, 2006
PAGE 6
of storage space adjacent to the garage on the first floor, which exceeds requirement for tenant
storage space.
Antennas: Individual antennas shall not be permitted. The project shall have a master
cable television hookup. This condition has been incorporated into attached DRB Resolution
No. 305.
Parking: The Planned Development Ordinance does not trigger any additional parking
requirements beyond what is required within the Village Master Plan. Therefore, the project
meets the parking requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance.
Building Coverage, Height and Setbacks: These standards are established individually
according to the applicable land use district within the Village Redevelopment Area. The details
of these development standards were previously discussed above.
Residential Density and Inclusionary Housing Requirements: The multi-family
residential unit results in a residential density of 17.1 dwelling units per acre. The Village Master
Plan and Design Manual does not set forth specific densities in the land use districts that permit
residential uses. Instead, an appropriate General Plan residential density is to be determined
for each project based upon compatibility findings with the surrounding area.
After considering the goals and objectives of the Village Redevelopment Area, the vision for
Land Use District 1 and surrounding land uses, staff is recommending a High Density
Residential (RH) General Plan Designation for the subject property. Justification for the RH
General Plan density designation is as follows:
1. The density is compatible with the surrounding area, which contains a variety of uses
including multi-family residential, single-family residential, commercial and office.
Application of the RH General Plan designation on the subject property would allow for
future multi-family development, which is a provisional use in District 1 and would be
compatible with the mixture of surrounding uses in terms of size, scale, and overall density.
2. The RH General Plan density designation serves to satisfy the goals of the Village
Redevelopment Master Plan by increasing the number, quality, diversity, and affordability of
housing units within this area of the Village. The higher density designation allows for future
development that would be consistent with the development in the area and the goals and
objectives of the Redevelopment Master Plan.
3. The RH General Plan density designation serves to satisfy the objectives of Land Use
District 1 by increasing the number of residential units in close proximity to shops,
restaurants, and mass transportation. Higher residential densities in close proximity to
areas with easy access to mass transportation promote greater job/housing balance and
help solve regional issues such as reduced traffic congestion and improved air quality.
All residential projects within the Village Redevelopment Area are subject to the City's
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, Chapter 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and those
requirements imposed by Redevelopment Law. In accordance with Redevelopment Law, 15%
of the private housing units constructed within a redevelopment area must be affordable to low
and moderate-income persons, of which not less than 40% (or 6% of the total newly constructed
MADISON SQUARE
JANUARY 23, 2006
PAGE?
units in the redevelopment area) must be affordable to very low income households. Per City
Ordinance, projects of six or fewer units are eligible to pay an in-lieu fee of $4,515 per market
rate unit. The project has been conditioned to pay the in-lieu fee for the four (4) proposed
residential units.
VIII. CONSISTENCY WITH DESIGN GUIDELINES
All new projects within the Village Redevelopment Area must make a good faith effort to design
a project that is consistent with a village scale and character. In accordance with the design
review process set forth in the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design
Manual, the Design Review Board and the Housing and Redevelopment Commission, as
appropriate, must be satisfied that the applicant has made an honest effort to conform to ten
(10) basic design principles. These design principles are:
1. Development shall have an overall informal character.
2. Architectural design shall emphasize variety and diversity.
3. Development shall be small in scale.
4. Intensity of development shall be encouraged.
5. All development shall have a strong relationship to the street.
6. A strong emphasis shall be placed on the design of the ground floor facades.
7. Buildings shall be enriched with architectural features and details.
8. Landscaping shall be an important component of the architectural design.
9. Parking shall be visibly subordinated.
10. Signage shall be appropriate to a village character.
The proposed project is consistent with the design principles outlined above. The project
provides for an overall informal character, yet maintains a pleasant architectural design
conducive to the surrounding neighborhood and overall Village character. The applicant has
incorporated several desirable design elements to achieve the desired Village character. The
architectural design elements include trim ("Hardiplank") around the different sized windows and
building fascia, the use of a variety of materials including stucco, wood, and sheet metal,
exposed rafter tails, and varied roof forms with a 5:12 roof pitch. The buildings have a very
strong relationship to the street in that they are only set back from Madison Street by ten (10)
feet and enhance the pedestrian-orientation by providing a sidewalk and enhanced landscaping
along all street frontages. The parking is visually subordinate in that it is located underneath the
second story in individual garages or covered guest parking stalls. A summary of the design
features related to the project is provided as an exhibit to this report (See Attached Exhibit A).
IX. TRAFFIC. CIRCULATION. SEWER. WATER. RECLAIMED WATER AND OTHER
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The project, as conditioned, shall comply with the City's requirements for the following:
Traffic & Circulation:
Projected Average Daily Traffic (ADT): 32 ADT
Due to the project's low generation of traffic, this project does not trigger the need for a traffic study.
This project is served by Madison Street and has direct access to public streets. The streets in the
area have been designed to handle the traffic volumes generated by this project.
MADISON SQUARE

This project proposes to collect and convey storm water to the public right-of-way. Runoff will be
intercepted by a private storm drain system and discharged to Madison Street through 3 - 3"
<r\ sidewalk underdrain pipes. In existing conditions, the peak flow is 0.10 c.f.s. to Madison Street and
' • 0.29 c.f.s. to the adjoining property to the west. After development, no flows are directed to the
west, and with onsite detention, the peak flow to Madison Street is 0.19 c.f.s. The negligible
increase of less than one tenth of a c.f.s. is not expected to adversely impact existing drainage
facilities.
Land Title:
Conflicts with existing easements: No
Public easement dedication required: Yes

PAGE 9
The project will be constructing new curb, gutter and sidewalk across the Madison Street frontage,
and extending the existing sewer main in Madison Street.
Storm Water Quality:
The applicant is required to implement Best Management Practices (BMP) measures, to the
maximum extent practical, to ensure that no additional pollutants-of-concern are contributed
downstream of the project. The developer is subject to complying with the City's Storm Water
Management Plan. Storm water runoff will be treated by inlet filters prior to discharge into the right
of way to remove oil, grease, heavy metals and trash from storm water. Other BMP measures are
detailed in the project Storm Water Management Plan.
X. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Housing & Redevelopment Department has conducted an environmental review of the
project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of
said review, the project has been found to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to
Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development project. The necessary
finding for this environmental determination is included in the attached Design Review Board
resolution.
A noise study was prepared by Eilar Associates to determine whether there was a potential for
subjecting the future residents of the project to significant noise impacts. This study concluded
that no interior or exterior noise mitigation would be necessary at any location on site.
XI. ECONOMIC IMPACT
The proposed project is anticipated to have a positive financial impact on the City and the
Redevelopment Agency. First, the redevelopment of what was previously an under-utilized lot
will result in increased property taxes. This increase in property tax will further result in
increased tax increment to the Redevelopment Agency. Second, the project may serve as a
catalyst for other improvements in the area, either new development or rehabilitation of existing
buildings, through the elimination of a blighting influence within the area.
XII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the project. Development of the site will have a positive fiscal
impact on both the City and the Redevelopment Agency and will assist in fulfilling the goals and
objectives of the Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual.

27 follows:
28 A. That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Design Review
2 Board RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Madison Square RP 04-24, based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
3
GENERAL AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY FINDINGS:
4
,- i. The Housing & Redevelopment Director 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
6 the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for
preparation of environmental documents, pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA
7 Guidelines as an infill development project. In making this determination, the Housing &
Redevelopment Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state
CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
9
2. The Design Review Board finds that the project, as conditioned herein and with the
10 findings contained herein for the establishment of the RH density designation for the
project is in conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan, the Carlsbad Village
Area Redevelopment Plan, and the Carlsbad Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design
j2 Manual based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated January 23, 2006 including, but
not limited to the following:
13
a. The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives for the Village,
^4 as outlined within the General Plan, because it provides for a multi-family
1. • residential use in an appropriate location within the Village. This in turn serves
to enhance the Village by providing the necessary residential support. The
16 location of the project will provide the new residents an opportunity to walk to
shopping, recreation and mass transit functions. The new residential units will
17 enhance the Village as a place for living and working. The project will also be
close to existing bus routes, furthering the goal of new economic development
near transportation corridors.
19 b. The project is consistent with Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design
20 Manual in that the proposed project assists in satisfying the goals and objectives
set forth for Land Use District 1 through the following actions: 1) the project
21 provides a new residential development that will improve the physical
22 appearance of the village area, and 2) the building is designed in a manner that
compliments nearby residential uses by incorporating many of the same
23 architectural elements found in residential projects.
24 c. The project as designed is consistent with the development standards for Land
Use District 1, the Village Design Guidelines and other applicable regulations set
forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
26
d. The existing streets can accommodate the estimated ADTs and all required
27 public right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and has been or will be
improved to serve the development. The pedestrian spaces and circulation have
been designed in relationship to the land use and available parking. Public
DRB RESO NO. 305 -2-
facilities have been or will be constructed to serve the proposed project. The
2 project has been conditioned to develop and implement a program of "best
management practices" for the elimination and reduction of pollutants, which
3 enter into and/or are transported within storm drainage facilities.
e. The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on any open space within
c the surrounding area. The project is consistent with the Open Space
requirements for new development within the Village Redevelopment Area and
6 the City's Landscape Manual.
7 f. The proposed project has been conditioned to comply with the Uniform Building
and Fire Codes adopted by the City to ensure that the project meets appropriate
fire protection and other safety standards.
9 g. The proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General
10 Plan, the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, and the Redevelopment
Agency's Inclusionary Housing Requirement, as the Developer has been
conditioned to pay to the City an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee for four (4)
units.
13 h. The proposed project meets all of the minimum development standards set forth
in Chapter 21.45.080, and has been designed in accordance with the concepts
14 contained in the Design Guidelines Manual, in that the overall plan for the
project is comprehensive and incorporates many of the architectural features of
surrounding developments. The buildings, landscaping, and on-site amenities all
it conform to the Village Redevelopment Master Plan and Design Manual, which
serves as the adopted land use plan for the area. The overall plan for the project
17 provides for adequate usable open space, circulation, off-street parking,
recreational facilities and other pertinent amenities. The parking is well
integrated into the building and the project is compatible with surrounding land
1Q uses and will not negatively impact circulation patterns in the area. Common
areas and recreational facilities are located so that they are readily accessible to
20 the occupants of the dwelling units. The overall architecture is compatible with
the surrounding area and consistent with the Village character as set forth in the
21 Village Design Manual.
3. The Design Review Board hereby finds that the appropriate residential density for the project
23 is RH (15-23 dwelling units per acre), which has a Growth Management Control Point
(GMCP) of 19 dwelling units per acre. Justification for the RH General Plan density
24 designation is as follows:
25 a. The density is compatible with the surrounding area, which contains a variety of
uses including multi-family residential, single-family residential, commercial and
office. Application of the RH General Plan designation on the subject property
27 would allow for the proposed multi-family development, which is a provisional
use in District 1 and would be compatible with the mixture of surrounding uses
28 in terms of size, scale, and overall density.
DRB RESO NO. 305 -3-
1
~ b. The RH General Plan density designation serves to satisfy the goals of the
Village Redevelopment Master Plan by increasing the number, quality, diversity,
3 and affordability of housing units within this area of the Village. The higher
density designation allows for future development that would be consistent with
4 the development in the area and the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment
Master Plan.
c. The RH General Plan density designation serves to satisfy the objectives of Land
Use District 1 by increasing the number of residential units in close proximity to
shops, restaurants, and mass transportation. Higher residential densities in
close proximity to areas with easy access to mass transportation promote greater
job/housing balance and help solve regional issues such as reduced traffic
congestion and improved air quality.
JO 4. The project is consistent with the City-wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1, and all City public facility policies and ordinances.
The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to
ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water;
drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries;
13 government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to
serve new development prior to or concurrent with need. Specifically,
14
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
.f. is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service
remains available and the District Engineer is satisfied that the requirements of
17 the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they
apply to sewer service for this project.
18
b. AH necessary public improvements have been provided or are required as
conditions of approval.
20 c. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
21 School District that the project has satisfied its obligation to provide school
facilities.22
d. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and
will be collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
24
e. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will
25 be collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
5. The Design Review Board has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
27 contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
28 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
