27
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
28
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
2 APPROVES HUMPHREY LOT SPLIT - SUP 07-07, based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
3 Findings:
1. The proposed project conforms to the intent of the Scenic Preservation Overlay in that it
c is consistent with the R-l-10,000 Zoning Standards and the El Camino Real
Corridor Development Standards, as the project is consistent with the applicable 35
6 foot building height, 40 foot front yard setback, 10 foot maximum cut and fill
grading requirements, and is consistent with the landscape requirement for a
7 London Plain tree, as detailed in the Planning Commission Staff Report for SUP 07-
_ 07 dated April 2, 2008.
o
9 2. The proposed project implements the goals and objectives of the General Plan in that the
property is proposed to be developed with single family residential which is
10 consistent with the Residential Low Medium land use designation.
3. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
12 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
13 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Sections 15315 - Minor Land
Divisions and 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
14 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.
jg 4. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
17
5. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
18 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
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
20 Conditions:
21
1. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require Developer to make, all corrections
22 and modifications to the Special Use Permit document(s) necessary to make them
internally consistent and in conformity with final action on the project. Development
shall occur substantially as shown in the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development,
24 different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
25 2. If any of the following conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be
implemented and maintained over time, if any of such conditions fail to be so
26 implemented and maintained according to their terms, the City shall have the right to
revoke or modify all approvals herein granted; deny or further condition issuance of all
future building permits; deny, revoke, or further condition all certificates of occupancy
2g issued under the authority of approvals herein granted; record a notice of violation on the

3 3. Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local laws and
regulations in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
4
c 4. If any condition for construction of any public improvements or facilities, or the payment
of any fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this Project are
6 challenged, this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section

7 unless the City Council determines that the project without the condition complies with
all requirements of law.8

harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and
10 representatives, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, claims
and costs, including court costs and attorney's fees incurred by the City arising, directly
or indirectly, from (a) City's approval and issuance of this Special Use Permit, (b) City's
12 approval or issuance of any permit or action, whether discretionary or nondiscretionary, in
connection with the use contemplated herein, and (c) Developer/Operator's installation

copy of the Site Plan reflecting the conditions approved by the final decision-making
17 body.

private access lane in the front yard setback, the applicable requirements of the El
