The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a change to the La Costa Plaza site plan,
(APN: 216-580-03-00) which is a modification to SDP 97-07 -LA COSTA PLAZA. The proposed modification
includes:
• Replace 400 square feet of landscaped area with 400 square feet of improved outdoor seating
area adjacent to a 4,800 square foot building.
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 City Planner 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.
