A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of BRESSI RANCH MP 178 based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findinps:
1. . The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance
with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated June 5, 2002 including, but not limited to the following: proposed open
space lots create large contiguous conservation areas that are visually pleasing and
reflect the environmental values of the area; The project includes open space for the
preservation of natural resources, public safety and open space for outdoor
recreation; The general plan amendment provides for the shift of dwelling units
resulting in a clustering of development; The proposed master plan contains
development standards and architectural guidelines as well as a review process to
ensure that the desired level of quality is attained; The proposed land use
designations in the master plan provide for a mixed-use site and a community
facilities site which may allow for a private school and commercial uses such as a
service station or convenience store; Dedication and improvement of all circulation
facilities needed for the project will be completed; An area of the property is
proposed to be designated RH to accommodate affordable housing; Land Uses have
been sited to be compatible with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Palomar
Airport.
2. That all necessary public facilities can be provided concurrent with need and adequate
provisions have been provided to implement those portions of the Capital Improvement
Program applicable to the subject property, in that the master plan includes an analysis
of public facilities needed to support the anticipated development and includes
provisions requiring necessary improvements concurrent with future development.
3. That the residential and open space portions of the community will constitute an
environment of sustained desirability and stability, and that it will be in harmony with or
provide compatible variety to the character of the surrounding area, and that the sites
proposed for public facilities, such as schools, playgrounds and parks, are adequate to
serve the anticipated population and appear acceptable to the public authorities having
jurisdiction thereof, in that the residential segments of the plan include a wide variety
of housing types from lower income attached units to large lots for custom home
development; one third of the master plan is dedicated to open space which includes
areas for active recreation, passive recreation, and open space preservation; and the
master plan vision is to create a neighborhood within the Carlsbad community that
manifests the Ahwanhee principles of “walkable” and “livable” communities.

That the proposed commercial and industrial uses will be appropriate in area, location,
and overall design to the purpose intended, that the design and development are such as
to create an environment of sustained desirability and stability, and that such
development will meet performance standards established by Title 21, in that the master
plan establishes substantial design guidelines and special development standards to
create the “walkable” and ‘9ivable” communities espoused in the master plan
vision; the commercial component of the plan is centrally located to be reasonably
accessible to all segments of the master plan community; and the industrial
component of the plan is located adjacent to Palomar Airport Road and El Camino
Real, further strengthening the Carlsbad industrial corridor and providing a land
use buffer between the roadways and flight activity of Palomar Airport Road and
the residential and community facilities components of the plan.
That in the case of institutional, recreational, and other similar nonresidential uses, such
development will be proposed, and surrounding areas are protected from any adverse
effects fiom such development, in that land uses have been located in the plan to the
greatest extent possible to reduce the potential of land use conflict and the plan
development standards, design guidelines and development processing procedures
provide additional scrutiny opportunities to ensure that conflicts have been
minimized.
That the streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry the
anticipated traffic thereon, in that all required roadway improvements are per the
recommendations of the traffic analysis prepared by Urban Systems Associates, the
Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 17, and as established by the General
Plan.
That any proposed commercial development can be justified economically at the location
proposed and will provide adequate commercial facilities of the types needed at such
location proposed, in that an extensive commercial study was prepared by the City
and the Bressi Ranch location was established as a desirable location for commercial
services to satisfy the needs of the greater Carlsbad resident and daytime
population.
That the area surrounding the development is or can be planned and zoned in coordination
and substantial compatibility with the development, in that the east and south quadrants
of the Bressi Ranch Master Plan are designated as open space and residential
respectively which relates to the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan to the east and
Villages of La Costa Master Plan to the south, the Bressi Ranch Master Plan
designates the west and north quadrant as industrial which relates to the recently
redeveloped Lincoln-Northpointe property and the Olympic Resort west of El
Camino Real; and, property to the north which includes open space preserved for
the purpose of maintaining clear area for the Palomar Airport landing strip
approach as well as land already developed as the Carlsbad Airport Center.
That appropriate measures are proposed to mitigate any adverse environmental impact as
noted in the adopted Environmental Impact Report for the project, in that the plan
includes revisions fiom initial submittals to avoid or reduce environmental impacts and
