Findings:

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, construction and
installation of small new equipment facilities or structures, 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.
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 benefits the community because of
the demand for mobile voice and data transmissions, and the site’s Travel
Recreation land use designation does not preclude the provision of quasi-public
utility uses.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the proposed telecommunication facility will result in no additional building
coverage and the panel antennas, which are housed within a faux chimney and wall
mounted, and roof mounted equipment cabinets require minimal alteration to the
existing site design which is in compliance with the Aviara Master Plan development
standards.
That all 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, in that all proposed facilities will be screened and painted to
match the existing building facade to reduce their visibility to the greatest extent
possible.
That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed use would not generate additional
vehicle trips beyond that necessary for regular maintenance.
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 issuance of
building permits.
General:
1. If any of the following conditions fail to occur; or if they are, by their terms, to be
implemented and maintained over time, if any of such conditions fail to be so
implemented and maintained according to their terms, the City shall have the right to

hold harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and

or indirectly, from (a) City's approval and issuance of this Conditional Use Permit, (b)

Developer shall provide proof to the Director from the Carlsbad Unified School District
that this project has satisfied its obligation to provide school facilities.
This project shall comply with all conditions and mitigation measures which are required
as part of the Zone 19 Local Facilities Management Plan and any amendments made to
that Plan prior to the issuance of building permits.
This Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed by the Planning Director on a yearly basis
to determine if all conditions of this permit have been met and that the use does not have
a substantial negative effect on surrounding properties or the public health and welfare. If
the Planning Director determines that the use has such substantial negative effects, the
Planning Director shall recommend that the Planning Commission, after providing the
permittee the opportunity to be heard, add additional conditions to reduce or eliminate the
substantial negative effects.
This conditional use permit approval shall become null and void if building permits are
not issued for this project within 24 months from the date of project approval.
This Conditional Use Permit is granted for a period of five (5) years from March 6,2002
through March 5,2007. This permit may be revoked at any time after a public hearing,
if it is found that the use has a substantial detrimental effect on surrounding land uses and
the public’s health and welfare, or the conditions imposed herein have not been met. This
permit may be extended for a reasonable period of time not to exceed five (5) years upon
written application of the permittee made no less than 90 days prior to the expiration date.
The Planning Commission may not grant such extension, unless it finds that there are no
substantial negative effects on surrounding land uses or the public’s health and welfare.
If a substantial negative effect on surrounding land uses or the public’s health and welfare
is found, the extension shall be denied or granted with conditions which will eliminate or
substantially reduce such effects. There is no limit to the number of extensions the
Planning Commission may grant.
The Developer/Operator shall comply with ANSUIEEE standards for EMF emissions.
Within six (6) months after the issuance of occupancy, the Developer/Operator shall
submit a project implementation report which provides cumulative field measurements of
radio frequency (EMF) power densities of all antennas installed at the subject site. The
report shall quantify the EMF emissions and compare the results with currently accepted
ANSYIEEE standards. Said report shall be subject to review and approval by the
Planning Director for consistency with the Project’s preliminary proposal report and the
accepted ANSI/IEEE standards. If on review, the City finds that the Project does not
meet ANSYIEEE standards, the City may revoke or modify this conditional use permit.
The Developer shall submit to the City a Notice of Restriction to be filed in the office of
the County Recorder, subject to the satisfaction of the Planning Director, notifying all
interested parties and successors in interest that the City of Carlsbad has issued a
Conditional Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit by Resolutions No. 5161
and 5162 on the real property owned by the Developer. Said Notice of Restriction shall
note the property description, location of the file containing complete project details and
all conditions of approval as well as any conditions or restrictions specified for inclusion
in the Notice of Restriction. The Planning Director has the authority to execute and
