3 The City Planner has determined thaTO^rojSt:t^%o?||istent with Chapter 21 35 (Village ReviewZone) of the Carlsbad Municipal CoiS^^d aflia^p^Jle development standards and land use
policiessetforth within the Village ry^ite^^Sll^hd Dei%n Manual in that l)the project requires
18 parking spaces and the applicant has been conditioned to pay into the parking in-lieu fee
program for ten additional parking spaces that are not provided within the existing on-site
parking lot A public parking lot Is located within 600 feet from the property, as required for
participation in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual.
The closest public parking lot Is approximately 240 feet away (I.e. Lot C In Figure 17 of the Village
Master Plan and Design Manual); 2) the project meets setback standards, which require a 10-
foot average setback for all floors above the first floor. A lO*-?" setback is provided for the
second story of the two-story building. No minimum or maximum side yard setback, rear yard
setback, or at-grade-floor front yard setback is required; 3) a 45-foot maximum building height
IS allowed and a 22-foot building height is proposed; 4) 100 percent building coverage is allowed
and 38 percent building coverage is proposed; and 5) 20 percent open space is required and 23
percent open space is proposed.
4 That 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 categoncally exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15303(c) - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
of the 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
5 The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this
approval letter, 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 degree of the exaction is
in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project
CDP 2017-0056:
6 That the proposed development is in conformance with the Village Segment of the Certified Local
Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies in that the development consists of a new
restaurant which, as discussed in finding no. 2 above. Is consistent with the Village Master Plan
and Design Manual, which serves as the Certified Local Coastal Program for the City of Carlsbad
Village Segment of the California Coastal Zone The proposed restaurant Is consistent with the
surrounding development of commercial retail and restaurants. The proposed project will not
obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor
otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on
the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. The project site Is not
located In an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. The site is not located adjacent
to the coast, and therefore no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available
from the subject site. The site is not suited for water-onented recreation activities.
7 The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the site Is not located adjacent to the shore Therefore, the project will not
interfere with the public's right to physical access to the sea and the site is not suited for water-
oriented recreation activities.

Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to
avoid Increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion No steep slopes or native vegetation
IS located on the subj'ect property and the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or
susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
9 The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and,
therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21 201 of the Zoning Ordinance)
10 The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this
approval, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused
