SUBJECT: First Extension to MCUP 08-10 (DEV03025) -HILTON GARDEN INN WIRELESS
The Planning Division has completed a review of your application for the first extension to Minor
Conditional Use Permit MCUP 08~10 -HILTON GARDEN INN WIRELESS, located at 6450 Carlsbad
Boulevard. The application was submitted on February 22, 2018, prior to the expiration date. The
project consists of an existing wireless communication facility (WCF) originally approved on July 16,
2003 (CUP 03-04, Planning Commission Resolution No. 5440). The original Conditional Use Permit was
converted to a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP 08-10) on June 30, · 2008. MCUP 08-10 is set to
expire on June 25, 2018.
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 in Carlsbad Municipal Code
{CMC) Chapter 21.42 and Wireless Communication Policy 64, and (2) the findings required for granting a
Minor Conditional Use Permit extension can be made; therefore, the City Planner APPROVES the first
extension to Minor Conditional Use Permit MCUP 08-10 for ten (10) years based on the following findings
and conditions.
Findings:
1. The permit or approval remains consistent with the general plan, all titles of the code and growth
management program policies and standards in place are the time the extension was considered,
and the findings contained in the City Planner approval letter dated June 30, 2008 for MCUP 08-
10 -HILTON GARDEN INN WIRELESS 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 as the
wireless communication facility is existing and no changes have been proposed.
3. 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 15301-Existing Facilities 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.
