Findinas:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II segment of the
Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the development is a
single-family house on a previously subdivided lot; no agricultural activities,
sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access
opportunities exist on the site and the development does not obstruct views of the
coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way or otherwise damage the
visual beauty of the Coastal Zone.
2. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.03 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the
City’s Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan and Grading
Ordinance to avoid increased runoff and soil erosion. The site is not located in an
area prone to landslides or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
The existing slopes do not support any endangered plant/animal species and/or
coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant communities and therefore are not
considered dual criteria slopes. The development of steep slopes is permitted in
that:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
A geotechnical analysis of the site was prepared. The analysis concluded that the
proposed development would have a useful life of at least 75 years and that the
development would have no adverse effect on the stability of the coastal slope.
No grading permit is required for this project.
The subject site is presently developed with a residential structure. The proposed
slope disturbance will not damage or alter major wildlife or native vegetation
since the site is an intill site containing no native vegetation.
Review of the site has concluded that that site contains no habitat or wildlife and
that no environmental impacts will result from the project.
Development of the slope is essential to the development of the site since the
steep slopes are located in the middle of the property less than 45’ from the
eastern property line.
The project site is not predominated by steep slopes and the site does not serve as
a wildlife corridor.
3. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that adequate vertical public access exists within 340 feet of the
property and the subject property was not identified as a potential lot for future additional
public access to the shoreline in the Local Coastal Program.
4. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that vertical access exists
within 340’ of the project. The site is not now, and has not historically, been used
for vertical access. No vertical access is warranted for this development based upon
the ordinance criteria. A geotechnical analysis of the project site was prepared.

The analysis concluded that the proposed development will have a useful life of at
least 75 years and that the development will have no adverse effects on the stability
of the coastal slope. The proposed residential structure has been designed with
attractive architectural features which will be compatible with the surrounding
development and natural environment. The building has been designed with a one-
story element along Ocean Street and the structure has been designed to step-down
the hillside consistent with this requirement. Grading is minimal, with no grading
permit required. The project adheres to all coastal “stringline” setback
requirements for the placement of structures, decks/balconies, fences and pool/spas.
That the Planning Director 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 Section 15303 (single-family
residence in an urbanized area) and 15332 (infill development) of the state CEQA
Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the
exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this
project.
The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 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.
Specifically,
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
B. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit,
The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X
of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and, therefore, is not subject to the
provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance).
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby 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.
Conditions:
Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to building
permit.
