SUBJECT: THIRD EXTENSION FOR CT 00-18 (DEV00010) -CANT ARI NI RANCH
Dear Mr. Zabrocki,
{city of
Carlsbad
The Planning Division has completed its review of your application for the third Tentative Tract Map
Extension of CT 00-18 -CANTARINI RANCH, submitted on June 18, 2018. The Tentative Tract Map (CT
00-18) was originally approved by City Council Resolution No. 2004-387 on December 7, 2004 with an
expiration date of December 7, 2006. Due to project litigation, the map tolled during the challenge period,
and a new expiration date of July 4, 2007 was established. On September 19, 2007, the Planning
Commission approved Resolution No. 6330 granting a retroactive two-year extension (CT 00-18x1) from
July 4, 2007 through July 4, 2009; and extended at the same time Resolutions No. 6331 (SDP 01-10x1),
6332 (HDP 00-9x1), and 6333 (SUP 00-9x1), which were then conditioned to expire with the tentative tract
map. Since that time, the tentative tract map has been automatically extended a total of four times with
Senate Bill 1185 granting a one-year extension to July 4, 2010, Assembly Bill (AB) 333 granting a two-year
extension to July 4, 2012, AB 208 granting a two-year extension to July 4, 2014, and AB 116 granting a
two-year extension to July 4, 2016. On June 24, 2016, the city approved the second two-year extension
from July 4, 2016, to July 4, 2018.
After·careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1)
the third Tentative Tract Map Extension of CT 00-18 -CANTARINI RANCH was submitted in a timely
manner prior to the expiration date, (2) there has been no change of circumstances in relation to the
Major Subdivision regulations (i.e., Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code), (3) the project is still in
compliance with the Major Subdivision regulations, and (4) the findings required for granting a Tentative
Tract Map Extension can be made; therefore, the City Planner APPROVES the third Tentative Tract Map
Extension of CT 00-18 for two (2) years from July 4, 2018, to July 4, 2020, based on the following findings
and conditions.
Findings:
1. All the findings contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6330 dated September 19, 2007,
are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect.
2. That the third Tentative Tract Map Extension of CT 00-18 remains consistent with the General Plan,
all titles of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and growth management program policies and standards in
place at the time the extension was filed.
