SUBJECT: Third Extension for CUP 260(0)-PALOMAR TRANSFER STATION
Dear Mr. Weiler,
Ccityof
Carlsbad
The Planning Division has completed a review of your application for the third Conditional Use Permit
Extension of CUP 260(0) -Palomar Transfer Station, submitted on October 10, 2018, located at S960 El
Camino Real on 10.98 acres of land. The project was approved on November 6, 2012 by the City Council.
The applicant applied for a two-year time extension from November 6, 2014 to November 6, 2016,
which was approved by the City Planner (CUP 260(01). In 2016 the applicant applied for a second two-
yE!ar time extension; however, the time extension was incorrectly applied to CUP 260(E) instead of CUP
260(D). The time extension was approved by the City Planner for two (2) additional years from
November 6, 2016 to November 6, 2018 (CUP 260(El). However, the intent was to extend the permit
issued for the green waste bay (CUP 260[D]). CUP 260(E) approved the extended hours of operation for
the facility.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1)
the project is still in compliance with the Conditional Use Permit regulations Carlsbad Municipal Code
(CMC) Chapter 21.42, and (2) that the findings required for granting a Conditional Use Permit extension
can be made; therefore, the City Planner APPROVES the third Conditional Use Permit Extension of CUP
260(0) for two (2) years from November 6, 2018 to November 6, 2020, based on the following findings
and conditions.
Findings:
1. The permit remains consistent with the general plan, all mies of the code and growth
management program policies and standards in place at the time the extension was considered,
and the findings contained in the Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907 and City Council
Resolution No. 2012-243 apply to this extension and are incorporated herein by reference and
remain in effect.
2. Circumstances have not substantially changed since the approval was originally granted in that
the Palomar Transfer Facility has not changed and no changes have been proposed.

3. The city planner may grant no more than three, two-year extensions, for a total cumulative time
extension of six years in that the granting of this time extension request constitutes the third
and final two-year extension permissible.
4. 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 categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15303 -New construction 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. A Notice of Exemption
was filed with the San Diego County Clerk on November 9, 2012.
Conditions:
1. This Conditional Use Permit extension is granted from November 6, 2018 to November 6, 2020. If
this Conditional Use Permit is not exercised (i.e. a building permit has not been issued and has not
lapsed) within this time period, then it shall become null and void, and no further time extensions
shall be granted.
2. All of the conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907 dated October 3, 2012
and City Council Resolution No. 2012-243 dated November 6, 2012 for CUP 260(D) apply to this
extension and are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect except for Planning
Condition No. 8 in Planning Commission Resolution No. 6907 which is superseded by Condition No.
1 of this approval letter.
