CASE NAME: GRAND PACIFIC PALISADES WF CASE NO.: CDP 03-44 WHEREAS, Sprint PCS Assets, LLC “Developer,” has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property owned by Grand Pacific Palisades, LLC, “Owner,” described as Lot 2 of Carlsbad Ranch Hotel and Timeshare Resort CT 96- 01, according to Map No. 13719, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County on February 3,1999 (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as shown on Exhibits “A” - “G” dated March 3, 2004, on file in the Planning Department, GRAND PACIFIC PALISADES WF - CDP 03-44 as provided by Chapter 21.201.040 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 3rd day of March 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 CDP. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. 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 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES GRAND PACIFIC PALISADES WF - CDP 03-44 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello I1 Segment of the Certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies in that the site is designated as a commercial site and is consistent with the LCP Land Use Plan. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that the project is located outside of the coastal shoreline development overlay zone. Therefore, compliance with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act is not required. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the proposed facility will be located entirely within an existing building; no steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property; and the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and, Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fees are not required in accordance with the provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance). The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and, therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance). The project is proposed within an existing building and there are no scenic resources on or near the existing development which will be impacted by the project. 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. 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.
