4
5 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
6 Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
7 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
8 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
9 APPROVES HARDING STREET SENIOR CONDOMINIUMS CP 06-12,
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
10
Findings:11
12 1. That the proposed project complies with all applicable development standards included
13 within Chapter 21.45 and as modified through the approval of SDP 06-12, Planning
Commission Resolution No. 6423, in that the project is designed with a 20 foot
14 setback from Palm Avenue and Harding Street, lot coverage is less than 60%, all
but the 15 income restricted units have the required private outdoor recreation
space, the building is designed with varying building and roof planes, the building
I /- includes a variety of architectural design elements, and each unit has 392 cubic feet
or more of storage area available in the underground garage.
17
2. That the proposed project's density, site design, and architecture are compatible with
18 surrounding development, in that surrounding properties either are or may be
developed as multi-family residential projects consistent with the RMH and RM
Land Use designations and the General Plan allows for density increases with the
2Q provision of housing for lower income households. The project is compatible with
adjacent land uses in that other multi-family residential developments in the vicinity
21 have a similar mass and appearance. Properties to the north and south of the site
are zoned R-3 and have the same development standard parameters for regulating
22 building location, height, and mass. As these sites develop, their development
_, envelope will have the potential of matching that of the project. Furthermore, the
project is similar to other senior citizen housing projects in the Carlsbad Village
24 Redevelopment Area which have densities ranging from 63.5 to 75 dwelling units
per acre and the project has a similar building mass and appearance as those senior
25 citizen housing developments and other multi-family residential developments in the
general vicinity.
3. 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
2g 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.
