CASE NAME: TIBURON CASE NO: v 01-05 WHEREAS, Continental Residential, Inc., as both “Owner” and “Developer,” has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as: Lots 182 through 255 inclusive of the City of Carlsbad Tract No. 90-3, Shelley Property, Unit No. 4, according to map thereof No. 14196, tiled April 25, 2001, in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California. (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said application constitutes a request to provide separation between two-story buildings when there are more than ten in a row on a single street of less than 20 feet and separation between single story and two-story buildings when there are more than ten in a row on a single street of less than 15 feet; and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Variance as shown on Exhibit(s) “A“ - “U” dated November 7, 2001, on file in the Carlsbad Planning Department, TIBURON - V 01-05 provided by Chapter 21.50 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on the 7th day of November, 2001, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Variance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: 4 That the above recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission APPROVES TIBURON - V 01-05 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. 2. That special circumstances apply to the subject property in that the site’s natural topography dictates a subdivision design which includes longer streets which run parallel to the hillside contours versus perpendicular to the hillside contours; reducing the overall development area by reducing lot sizes to a minimum 7,500 square feet versus 10,000 square feet was preferred because of the hillside terrain; the proposed building separation is consistent with the R-l standard of side yard setbacks equal to ten percent of the lot width; adjacent subdivisions have been developed with similar street configurations without benefit of 20 foot separation between two-story buildings such that the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives said property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity under the R-1-10,000 and PC zoning classifications. That special circumstances apply to the subject property since the project is subject to a Planned Development Ordinance which is currently being revised to eliminate the “ten in a row” requirement and replace it with architectural standards which will satisfy the intent of reducing the visual impact of several two-story buildings in a row and that the project complies with some of the draft replacement architectural standards in that other than volume ceilings at entries, all proposed homes have a single story element along the front; no home is proposed with a three-in-a-row car garage; and 75 percent of the homes are proposed with visible front doors; 15 percent of the homes are single story; more than 20 percent of the homes have a single story edge. 3. That as provided in the foregoing findings the project substantially conforms to the intent of reducing the visual impact of ten or more two-story structures in a row on the same street. 4. That the variance is subject to conditions which will assure that the adjustment(s) thereby authorized will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated.

That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. 6. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. Conditions: 1. Prior to the issuance of building permits for the production homes, the applicant shall submit and receive approval by the planning department of a site plan which reflects the true location and model of each proposed home for each lot of the subdivision.
