The Planning Division has completed its review of your application for the first extension of Site
Development Plan {SOP 16-13} -OAK VETERANS HOUSING, submitted on December 14, 2018. The
project, located at 965 Oak Avenue, on the east side of Interstate 5, north of Pine Avenue, was approved
on January 18, 2017, and due to expire on January 18, 2019.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, it has been determined that (1)
the first extension of Minor Site Development Plan (SOP 16-13} -OAK VETERANS HOUSING was
submitted in a timely manner prior to the expiration date, (2) there has been no change of circumstances
in relation to the Site Development Plan (i.e., Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code}, (3) the project is
still in compliance with the Site Development Plan regulations, and (4) that the findings required for
granting a Site Development Plan extension can be made; therefore, the City Planner APPROVES the first
extension of Site Development Plan (SOP 16-13} -OAK VETERANS HOUSING for two (2) years from
January 18, 2019 to January 18, 2021, based on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
1. All the findings contained in the Planning Commission Resolution No. 7223 dated January 18, 2017,
apply to this extension and are incorporated herein by reference and remain in effect.
2. That the first two-year extension for SOP 16-13 from January 18, 2019, to January 18, 2021, is
appropriate because the owner/applicant is diligently pursuing finalizing all necessary permits, the
project is still consistent with the Site Development Plan regulations, and the extension would allow
the owner/applicant to preserve existing property entitlements while satisfying the conditions for
construction of a three-story, 24-unit apartment building designated for veterans {SOP 16-13}.
3. That such permits and approvals as extended are consistent with the requirements of Title 21 of this
code at the time of their extension.
4. That the first two-year extension of Site Development Plan SOP 16-13 remains consistent with the
General Plan, all titles of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, Carlsbad Village and Barrio Master Plan, and
growth management program policies and standards in place at the time the extension was filed.
