Major Review Permit RP 15-17 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-38 were originally approved by the City Council pursuant to Resolution No. 2018-012 on January 23, 2018. Condition No. 9 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 7272 required that RP 15-17 and CDP 15- 38 expire two (2) years from the date City Council approved the project, with an expiration date on January 23, 2020. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1) the first extension of Major Review Permit RP 15-17 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-38 - JEFFERSON LUXURY APARTMENTS 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 and Coastal Development Permit can be made. Therefore, the city planner APPROVES the first extension of Major Review Permit RP 15-17 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-38 for two (2) years from January 23, 2020, to January 23, 2022, based on the following findings and conditions. Findings: 1. All the findings contained in City Council Resolution No. 2018-012 dated January 23, 2018, and Planning Commission Resolution No. 7272 dated November 1, 2017, are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect. 2. That the first two-year extension (from January 23, 2020, to January 23, 2022) 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, 11-unit residential apartment building (RP 15-17 /CDP 15-38) located at 3039 Jefferson Street. 3. That the first extension of Major Review Permit RP 15-17 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-38 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.
