1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
2 Commission as follows:
3
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
4
<. B) That based on the evidence presented, at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of FENTON CARLSBAD CENTER
6 SPECIFIC PLAN - ZC 07-04, based on the following findings:
7 Findings:
8
1. That the proposed Zone Change from Planned Industrial (P-M) to Office (O) is
consistent with the goals and policies of the various elements of the General Plan, in that
10 the proposed Office zoning designation implements the proposed Office General
Plan Land Use designation on lot 4 and due to medical uses having a higher traffic
11 generation, lots 2 and 3 would include only general office uses (no medical office
uses). The uses would be compatible with surrounding uses of Planned Industrial to
the south and west and surrounding Open Space to the north. There is no
, o development proposed with the application and any proposed development in the
future would be subject to the Office Zone uses permitted by the Fenton Carlsbad
14 Center Specific Plan, which limits uses on Lots 2 and 3 to general office uses (no
medical office uses). The proposed Office designation would not result in any
15 unavoidable adverse impacts to the area and would promote the General Plan Land
Use goal which provides for land uses which through their arrangement, location,
and size, support and enhance the economic viability of the community.
2. That the Zone Change will provide consistency between the General Plan and Zoning as
18 mandated by California State law and the City of Carlsbad General Plan Land Use
Element, in that the Office zone implements the proposed Office General Plan Land
Use designation.
20 3. That the Zone Change is consistent with the public convenience, necessity, and general
welfare, and is consistent with sound planning principles in that the proposed location is
necessary and desirable to provide office and medical services to the community,
22 which will contribute to the well-being of people in the community. The proposed
uses will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of persons working or
living in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity in that
24 adequate separation of uses is proposed.
25 4. 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
26 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.
