SUBJECT: CD 11 -05 - CALIFORNIA BANK AND TRUST - SDP 09-05/CUP 10-05
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for a consistency
determination for the Palomar Commons project, (APN: 213-020-18-00) which is a modification
to the 6,000 square'foot, two story, bank building located on the southwesterly corner of the
main entrance off Palomar Airport Road. The proposed modifications include:
• Redesign of the building from two stories to one story without increasing the approved
6,000 square foot floor area,
• Removal of the drive thru driveway, and
• Redesign of the parking lot based on building design and removal of the drive thru
amenity.
In order for a Discretionary Permit Consistency Determination to be approved, all of the
following 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.
2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and
improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
3) The proposed revision does not change the density 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.
5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development.
6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent provided that
compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code.
7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or
require additional mitigation.
8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts.
9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project
which would be exacerbated with the proposed change.
10) The proposed change would not be readily discernable to the decision makers as being
substantially different from the project as originally approved.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director
has determined that the application qualifies for a consistency determination with the approved
permit and therefore, approves the changes to the project based on Planning Division
Administrative Policy No. 35.

Staff recommends that the trash enclosure be kept in the original location as the landscape
island also functions as a bioretention area and service access was better at the previous
location. Please continue to provide the sidewalk along the westerly side of the main driveway
entrance off Palomar Airport Road as on the approved plans.
Please submit two (2) blueline copies (24" X 36") of all applicable exhibits for the project file and
a reproducible 24" X 36" mylar copy of the amended site plan. The mylar must be submitted,
stamped "Consistency Determination," and signed by the Planning Director prior to issuance of
any building permits for the project. The Consistency Determination Title Block stamp, and
other Title Block stamps, can be downloaded from the City's website at
http://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/departments/planninq/Pages/applications.aspx. The Title
Block (stamp) is located under "Resources" on the right side of the page.
