That the requested use is necessary or 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 specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is located, in that the proposed use is: a) necessary and desirable for the development of the community in that affordable, quality, licensed child care is critical to the well-being of children and parents as well as the economic vitality of the city; h) consistent with the General Plan in that the Industrial land use designation does not preclude the provision of child day care facilities; and c) not detrimental to permitted uses in the industrial zone in that the use is integrated into the existing industrial building and requires no significant changes to the site design or function and is conditioned such that the use will cease if it is shown that there is a potential hazard. 2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that the existing building setbacks, availability of parking, and circulation are adequate to accommodate the proposed child day care facility including the required outdoor play area. 3. That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted Mure uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that the project complies with all the development standards for child day care centers (Section 21.83.080); the project is conditioned to provide an annual evaluation of health and safety risks associated with the proposed child day care facility; the project is required to prepare an emergency operating plan in the event of an emergency; the applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City to discontinue operation upon the discovery of the existence of hazardous materials; the outdoor play area is surrounded by a five-foot minimum height wall/fence. 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project will not generate as much traffic as a similar sized industrial use and the existing driveways provide adequate on-site circulation. 5. The Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad does hereby find: A. It has reviewed, analyzed and considered the Negative Declaration and the environmental impacts therein identified for this project and any comments thereon prior to APPROVING the project; and PC RESO NO. 4863 -2- - - 1 2 1 4 5 6 5 8 9 1c 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 6. 7. 8. 9. B. The Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, the State Guidelines and the Environmental Protection Procedures of the City of Carlsbad; and C. It reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad; and D. Based on the EIA Part II and comments thereon, there is no substantial evidence the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that the project is outside the flight activity zone. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the CLUP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the project site is located outside the 60 cnel. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and herehy finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 5 and all City public facility policies and ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; tire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
