B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of ARC0 AM/PM AT TAMARACK - V 02-03 based on the following findings: Findinm: 1. 2. 3. 4. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other properties in the same vicinity and zone in that the property is part of the CommerciaWisitor Serving Overlay Zone which properties to the north, west, and south are not, making the subject site a peninsula and the property is unique in that it fronts on a public street on three sides when one or two sides are typical. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question in that the nearest properties immediately to the north, west and south are not subject to the CommerciaWisitor Serving Overlay Zone development standards which are more onerous. 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 in that redevelopment of the site will have a positive effect on the appearance of the site and subsequently will be a positive visual replacement to the existing abandoned gas station and the inclusion of the car wash is key to the economic viability of the project. Reduction of the CommerciaWisitor Serving Overlay Zone setbacks will not create hazards for pedestrians or vehicles. Adequate buffers and screening to surrounding land uses will be provided by landscape and screen walls. The maximum allowable noise level of 60 dBA CNEL offsite will not be exceeded. That the granting of a variance for reduced setbacks will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan and is consistent with and implements the requirements of the certified local coastal program; and, that the granting of a variance for reduced setbacks does not reduce or in any manner adversely affect the requirements to protect coastal resources as specified in the zones included in the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance and that the variance implements the purposes of zones adopted as implementation of the Mello I1 segment of the local coastal program land use plan in that the location of parking stalls and buildings on this site will not adversely affect views of the coast, access to the coast or other coastal resources, and will not diminish the effectiveness of the onsite storm water and wastewater runofvtreatment mechanisms. ...
