NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning28
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
2 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
3 RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF LA COSTA VILLAGE CENTER
TOWNHOMES - CT 04-08, based on the following findings and subject to the
following conditions:
Findings;
6
1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
7 conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any
applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State
° Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the
n project is consistent with all requirements of the General Plan and Titles 20 and 21
governing subdivisions and the design of planned developments.
10
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since
11 surrounding properties are designated for residential and open space development on
the General Plan, in that the proposed project consists of open space and 53 airspace
condominium units at densities similar and compatible with the surrounding
residential land uses.
14 3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the
site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density
15 proposed, in that all required development standards and design criteria required by
the applicable zoning standards are incorporated into the project without the need
for variances from development standards.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
18 easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the
public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in
19 that the project has been designed and conditioned such that there are no conflicts
with established easements.20
5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land
Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
22 6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or
23 natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that structures are oriented
in a manner that allows for solar exposure and will take advantage of shade and
receive prevailing breezes.
7. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed
by this subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs
against the public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental
27 resources.
28 8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
PC RESO NO. 6058 -2-
habitat, in that the proposed development will impact 4.4 acres of Coastal Sage
2 Scrub, 0.5 acres of Southern Maritime Chaparral and 0.03 acres of Waters of the
U.S. The project will mitigate for all impacted habitats, in compliance with the City
3 of Carlsbad HMP. Upland habitat [Coastal Sage Scrub (including all sub-
associations), and Southern Maritime Chaparral] mitigation requires a "no net loss
4 standard" and will typically consist of creation of the habitat being impacted (or
substantial restoration where allowed) at a ratio of at least 1:1 as provided in the
HMP. Substantial restoration of the highly degraded areas (where effective
functions of the habitat type have been lost) may be substituted for creation subject
to the consultation and concurrence of USFWS, CDFG, and the City of Carlsbad.
The remaining mitigation requirement will be satisfied through the purchases in a
mitigation bank. Impacts to the unvegetated Waters of the U.S. shall be satisfied
through the purchase in a suitable mitigation bank due to lack of restoration
9 opportunities on site, and the project is not impacting vegetative wetlands.
10 9. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing
California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has
been designed in accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality
protection in accordance with the City's sewer and drainage standards and the
project is conditioned to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
13 System (NPDES) requirements.
14 10. 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 April 5, 2006, including, but not limited to the following:
16 a. Land Use - The RM and GMCP (6 du/ac), permits 81 residential units, and
the project proposes 53 residential units. However, consistent with Program
3.8 of the City's certified Housing Element, all of the dwelling units, which
18 were anticipated toward achieving the City's share of the regional housing
need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects, are deposited
into the City's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are
7f) available for allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of
residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties identified in the
21 Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity,
including second dwelling units, adequate to satisfy the City's share of the
22 regional housing need. Projects are still considered to be consistent with the
General Plan if they are approved at densities below the minimum of the
density range.
24 This project proposes 53 condominium units, which is below the density
25 range for the RM General Plan Land Use designation. However, the project
application was on file, deemed complete, and considered "in the pipeline"
26 before October 27, 2004, and is exempt from the recently adopted General
Plan language which requires any subdivision of land or construction of
more than one dwelling to be subject to the minimum density range and
2g intent of the underlying residential land use designation.
PC RESO NO. 6058 -3-
b. Circulation - The project will take access off of Dove Lane and the applicant
2 is proposing full street improvements to El Camino Real. On-site circulation
consists of a private driveway which will be designed in accordance with City
3 standards.
4 c. Noise - The project is required to construct a combination of 10-foot-high
and 6-foot-high barriers around the southern and eastern portion of the
project site. The second floor balcony areas of Buildings 8 through 12 will
5 require 8-foot-high wall/glass barriers to properly mitigate for the future El
Camino Real noise levels, and an acoustical analysis to ensure adequate
7 interior noise attenuation to below 45 dBA CNEL will be achieved is
required prior to issuance of building permit.
o
d. Housing - The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General
Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as the applicant is proposing
10 to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement to purchase 9 off site
affordable housing credits in the Villa Loma Project.
11
11. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 21 and all City public facility policies and
j2 ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding sewer collection
14 and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
15 project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
17 a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
18
b. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and
will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
20 c. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
21 collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
22 12. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new
construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional
requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to
24 Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of
public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project.
25
13. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the
26 Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 21.
27 14. That all necessary public facilities required by the Growth Management Ordinance will
-„ be constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them
created by this project and in compliance with adopted City standards.
PC RESO NO. 6058 -4-
15. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
2 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
3 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
