<- Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
6 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
7 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES CUP 94-06x2(A) based on the following findings and subject to the
following conditions:
9
Findings:
10
1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is
essentially in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, and
12 is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is located, in that the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan in
13 that the Commercial Land Use designation does not preclude the provision of WCF
uses, nor is it detrimental to permitted uses in the vicinity in that the WCF has
14 stealth design and is located in a preferred location.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
16 that the antennas would be integrated into the existing building's facade and the
equipment enclosure is located within the building envelope and complies with the
17 Neighborhood Commercial Zone Development Standards.
18 3. That all the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to
jp adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
provided and maintained, in that there are existing equipment cabinets that are
20 located inside the existing building and the antennas would be textured and painted
to match the existing building facade to reduce their visibility to the greatest extent
2 * possible.
22 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
23 generated by the proposed use, in that the use generates very little traffic, requiring
only routine maintenance visits and occasional visits in response to operational
24 problems.
25
2/r 5. 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
27 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.
