SUBJECT: CT 06-04 (DEV06043} -RANCHO MILAGRO
Dear Mr. Henthorn,
("Cityof
Carlsbad
The Planning Division has completed its review of your application for the second Tentative Tract Map
Extension of CT 06-04-RANCHO MILAGRO submitted on December 13, 2017. Tentative Tract Map CT
06-04 was originally approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 6863 on February 15, 2012.
Condition No. 89 required that the tentative tract map expire two (2) years from the date on which the
Planning Commission voted to approve CT 06-04. The Planning Commission approved CT 06-04 on
February 15, 2012, thus creating an expiration date of February 15, 2014. An automatic two (2) year
extension was later granted through Assembly Bill (AB} 116, thus creating a new expiration date of
February 15, 2016. On September 19, 2016, the City Planner retroactively granted the first two-year
extension of Tentative Tract Map CT 06-04 from February 15, 2016 to February 15, 2018.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1)
the second Tentative Tract Map Extension of CT 06-04 -RANCHO MILAGRO 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 second Tentative Tract Map
Extension of CT 06-04 for a period of two (2) years from February 15, 2018 to February 15, 2020, based
on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. All the findings contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6863 dated February 15, 2012,
are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect.
2. That Tentative Tract Map Extension of CT 06-04 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.
3. That circumstances have not substantially changed since Tentative Tract Map CT 06-04 was
originally approved.
