CASE NAME: CASE NO: GPA 0 1-04 RESIDENTIAL) TO “T-R” (TRAVELRECREATION COM- VIGILUCCI’S SEAFOOD & STEAKHOUSE WHEREAS, the Planning Director, “Applicant,” as directed by City Council Resolution No. 2001-72, has filed a verified application regarding property owned by Roberto Vigilucci, “Owner,” described as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 3713, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, April 21, 1975 as File No. 75- 092233 of Official Records (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a General Plan Amendment as shown on Exhibit “GPA 01-04” dated January 21,2004, attached hereto and on file in the Planning Department VIGILUCCI’S SEAFOOD & STEAKHOUSE - GPA 01-04 as provided in Government Code Section 65350 et. seq. and Section 21.52.160 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 21st day of January 2004 and on the 4th day of February 2004 hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and 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 General Plan Amendment. 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 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows: A) B) That the above recitations are true and correct. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission HOUSE - GPA 01-04, based on the following findings and condition: RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of VIGILUCCI’S SEAFOOD & STEAK- FindinPs: 1. 2. 3. 4. The subject property’s location next to the beach and along major roads clearly fit the description of a T-R designated property according to the General Plan Land Use Element’s definition of the T-R designation. The application of T-R to the subject property, which has long served the adjacent beach and residential areas with eating establishments, is consistent with the General Plan, including the following parts of the Land Use Element: a. Overall Land Use Objective B.1, which states, “TO create a distinctive sense of place and identity for each community and neighborhood of the City through the development and arrangement of various land use components.” b. Commercial Goal A.4, which states, “A City that promotes recreational and tourist-oriented land uses which serve visitors, employees of the industrial and business centers, as well as residents of the city.” The proposed T-R land use designation is in conformance with the Circulation Element in that it would be applied to property that is already fully developed with an existing restaurant use that is appropriate under the T-R designation and for which a conditional use permit is being sought. Therefore, no additional traffic impacts to surrounding streets would result from the project. In addition, the proposed valet parking plan, compared to self-parking, increases on-site maneuverability and the number of available parking spaces and provides controlled regulation of vehicles entering and leaving the property. The proposed change to the commercial T-R designation is in conformance with the Housing Element in that the change will not conflict with objectives to provide adequate housing to accommodate projected growth in the City. Since the T-R designation does not allow residential uses, the six homes that potentially could be built on the property under the existing RH designation and at the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 19 du/ac will be added to the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. The GMCP was used for calculating the City’s compliance with Government Code Section 65584. However, consistent with Program 3.8 of the City’s Housing Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the City’s share of the regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects are deposited in the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are available for allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are adequate PC RES0 NO. 5549 -2- 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 properties identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity, including second dwelling units, adequate to satisfy the City’s share of the regional housing need. 5. That the Planning Director has determined that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment in that the proposed T-R designation would be applied to property that is already fully developed with an existing restaurant use and only minor modifications are being made. Condition: 1. This approval is granted subject to the approval of LCPA 01-07 by the California Coastal Commission.
