5 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
6 Commission as follows:
7 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
o
B) That based on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Commission
9 DETERMINES that the ROBERTSON RANCH PARK SITE/FIRE
STATION SITE is consistent with the General Plan and APPROVES PCD/GPC
10 08-02 based on the following findings:
Findings:
12 1. This project is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and implementation
13 programs of the City's General Plan in that the property proposed for acquisition is
intended to be used for a public use (i.e. development of a public park and fire
14 station). The subject property includes 5.54 acres (Purchase Area 1) located within
1 <. a portion of Planning Area (PA) 12 that is zoned Planned Community (P-C) with an
underlying zone and General Plan Land Use Designation of Open Space (OS), and
16 2.0 acres (Purchase Area 2) located within a portion of PA 13 that is zoned Planned
Community (P-C) with an underlying zone of Multi-Family Residential (RD-M) and
17 a General Plan Land Use Designation of Elementary School (E). The Carlsbad
Unified School District has declined to purchase PA 13, and therefore, the
alternative residential uses allowed by the Master Plan, expansion of the park site,
jg or relocation of Fire Station No. 3 may be implemented, subject to a General Plan
Amendment to change the General Plan Land Use Designation for PA 13 from E to
20 RM and/or OS. Public facilities are allowed in both the open space zone and
residential zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
21
2. 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
23 environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State
24 CEQA Guidelines. 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 project.
26 Conditions:
27
1. A General Plan Amendment shall be submitted and approved to change the
2% General Plan Land Use Designation from Elementary School (E) to Open Space
(OS) for Purchase Area 2 either prior to or concurrently with any discretionary
