The project is consistent with all City public' facility pol- icies and ordinances since: a) The applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee will enable this body to find that public facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the General Plan. 2. This project requires the construction of the improvements or facilities listed in the conditions of approval or the payment of fees in lieu of construction. This project creates a direct need for the improvements or facilities for the reasons stated in the staff report. If the improvements or facilities are not provided the project will create an unmitigated burden on existing improvements and facilities. Further, the improvements and facilities are necessary to provide safe, adequate and appropriate service to future residents of the project consistent with City goals, policies and plans. 3. The applicant is by condition, required to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a development management or public facility program ultimately adopted by the City of Carlsbad. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. 4. The project is consistent with the provisions of Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the plans adopted pursuant of this Chapter or has signed an agreement to be subject to such plans when they are adopted. 5. The requested use is necessary and desirable for the development of the community, is essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located since it will provide for better identification or the main entrance to La Costa Hotel and Spa. 6. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use. 7. All of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained since the lot is already improved with structures and landscaping. //I/ PC RES0 NO. 2678 -2- 1 I ,- e 0 1: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 3.8 19 I 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 8.
