24
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
26 Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
27 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
28 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES SEARS RESIDENCE - CDP 07-12 based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings;
2 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
3 Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for single-family
residential development and the development consists of a new single-family home.
4 The development is consistent with the Mello II Land Use designation of RLM; no
agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or
vertical coastal access opportunities exist onsite and the development does not
5 obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way or
otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone.
7
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the site is located approximately % mile from Agua
Hedionda Lagoon and approximately 1.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean; therefore,
no coastal access areas or water-oriented recreational activities exist on or near the
10 site or will be affected by the project.
11 3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the
City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance,
Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban
Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff,
14 pollutants, and soil erosion. 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
1 5 susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
4. 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
\ g preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) (construction of a
single family residence in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
19 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.
91 5. The project is not located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to Map X
of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990, and therefore, is not subject to the
22 provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance).
23
6. The project is consistent with the City- Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
24 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
26 and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
27 project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
PC RESO NO. 6400 -2-
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
2 School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
3 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.
5 7. 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
6 Zone (Chapter 21.201 of the Zoning Ordinance).
' The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
