3 Commission APPROVES SDP 06-08 - SANDWELL RESIDENCE, based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:4
Findings;
6 1. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings, and environmental
settings; is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan; will
7 not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the area in which
the proposed use is to be located; and will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or
traffic circulation, in that the project consists of the construction of a new
9 2,224-square-foot three-story one-family dwelling with an attached 638-square-foot
garage and 664-square-foot deck on the back portion of a 0.20-acre lot located on
10 the northeast corner of Chestnut Avenue and Roosevelt Street. The project site is
currently developed with a one-story one-family dwelling located on the front
portion of the lot. The project is compatible with existing and proposed single-
12 family residences will not negatively impact traffic circulation.
13 2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the project complies with all development standards of the Residential
Professional (R-P) Zone including lot size, setbacks, building height, lot coverage,
.. and parking without requiring any variances.
That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust
the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be
17 provided and maintained, in that the project complies with all required yards,
setbacks, wall and fence heights, and will not impact permitted future uses in the
* ° neighborhood.
19 4. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
20 generated by the proposed use, in that the existing street system will be adequate to
handle the 10 ADT generated by the addition of a second one-family dwelling.
21
5. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
22 Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1, and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding sewer collection
24 and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
25 project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
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.
28 b. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
PCRESONO. 6201 -2-
c. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 1 is required by Carlsbad
2 Municipal Code Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of
building permit.
3
6. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
4 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(a) (construction of
5 up to three single-family residences in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA
Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the
7 exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this
project.
o
7. 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
10 the staff report dated December 6, 2006, including but not limited to the following: The
proposed density of 10 dwelling units per acre is within the RMH density range of
11 8-15 du/ac, but is slightly below the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of
11.5 dwelling units per acre used for the purpose of calculating the City's
compliance with Government Code Section 65863. At the GMCP, 2.30 units would
be permitted on the 0.20-acre (net developable) property and the project is
proposing two dwelling units. However, consistent with Program 3.8 of the City's
14 certified 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, including fractional units, 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
17 capacity and there are adequate properties identified in the Housing Element
allowing residential development with a unit capacity, including second dwelling
18 units, adequate to satisfy the City's share of the regional housing need.
8. 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
21 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
