Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
28
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning
2 Commission APPROVES SDP 06-09 - O'GARA DEVELOPMENT based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:

Findings:4
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
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
7 traffic circulation, in that the project consists of the construction of a new 2,596
square foot two-story one-family residence with a 792 square foot attached garage
° and a 493 square foot attached second dwelling unit on a proposed 8,362 square foot
lot and results in a project density of 4.76 dwelling units per acre; therefore, the
project is consistent with the property's RM General Plan Land Use designation; is
10 compatible with existing and future single-family, multiple family, and office
development in the area, and the ADT generated by the existing and proposed one-
1 family residence will not negatively impact traffic circulation.
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 applicable development standards including
setbacks, lot coverage, parking and height restrictions without requiring any
14 variances.
15 3. 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
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.
18
4. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
19 generated by the proposed use, in that the existing street system will be adequate to
handle the additional 10 ADT generated by the new single-family dwelling.
5. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public facility policies and
22 ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
23 and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
25 Specifically,
26 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.
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.
PC RESO NO. 6326 -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
up to three single-family residences in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA
Guidelines since the project is only constructing one additional one-family dwelling unit
7 for a total project of two dwelling units and Section 15315 (Class 15) (division of
property in urbanized areas zoned for residential use into four or fewer parcels)
The project is exempt since the project consists of the subdivision of one parcel into three
n parcels. 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
10 project.
11 7. 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
i -> degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
