SUBJECT: RP 15-16/CDP 15-37 (DEV15066)-4 PLUS 1 LUXURY LIVING -FIRST EXTENSION
The Planning Division has completed its review of your application for the first extension of Major Review
Permit RP 15-16 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-37 -4 PLUS 1 LUXURY LIVING, submitted on
January 7, 2019. Major Review Permit RP 15-16 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-37 were
originally approved by the City Council pursuant to Resolution No. 2017-008 on January 10, 2017.
Condition No. 9 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 7210 required that the RP 15-16 and CDP 15-37
expire two (2) years from the date City Council approved the project on January 10, 2017.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1)
the first extension of Major Review Permit RP 15-16 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-37 -4
PLUS 1 LUXURY LIVING was submitted in a timely manner prior to the expiration date, (2) there has been
no change of circumstances in relation to the Carlsbad Village Master Plan or the coastal development
regulations, (3) the project is still in compliance with the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Title 21, and (4)
the findings required for granting an extension to the Major Review Permit can be made. Therefore, the
city planner retroactively APPROVES the first extension of Major Review Permit RP 15-16 and Coastal
Development Permit CDP 15-37 for two (2) years from January 10, 2019, to January 10, 2021, based on
the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. All the findings contained in City Council Resolution No. 2017-008 dated January 10, 2017, and
Planning Commission Resolution No. 7210 dated November 16, 2016, are incorporated herein by
reference and remain in effect.
2. That the first two-year extension (from January 10, 2019, to January 10, 2021) is appropriate because
the owner/applicant is diligently pursuing finalizing all necessary permits, the project is still consistent
with the Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual regulations, and the extension would allow
the owner/applicant to preserve existing property entitlements while satisfying the conditions for the
construction of a four-story mixed-use building (RP 15-16/CDP 15-37) located at 3050 Madison
Street.
3. That the first extension of Major Review Permit RP 15-16 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-
37 remains consistent with the General Plan, Carlsbad Village Master Plan and Design Manual, Local
Coastal Program, all titles of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and growth management program policies
and standards in place at the time of their extension.

4. That circumstances have not substantially changed since Major Review Permit RP 15-16 and Coastal
Development Permit CDP 15-37 were originally approved.
5. 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 categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Infill Development Projects-Section 15332 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.
