Findings:
(Note: These findings are not applicable to 1st Amendment uses; see Section 21.42.030.B)
6
That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community,
7 and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including,
if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the
proposed signage modifications to an existing self-storage facility which is
9 designated as Planned Industrial (P-M) in the Bressi Ranch Master Plan, is
consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, since it will clearly identify the
10 planned industrial use and contribute towards its economic viability.
* 1 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted
in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed increase in
signage to allow what is currently permitted pursuant to the Sign Ordinance will
13 assist in identifying the existing self-storage facility. The proposed changes will not
be detrimental to the surrounding properties since the surrounding properties, all
14 zoned P-M (Planned Industrial), have been granted commensurate wall and
monument signage allowances consistent with Chapter 21.41.095 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code.
16
That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
17 accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
planning director, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with
in other uses in the neighborhood, in that the proposed modifications to the wall and
monument signage allocations are consistent with the minimum developments
20 standards pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.41.090, the Sign Ordinance, including size,
setbacks, letter height, etc. In addition, the existing parcel and associated self-
storage buildings are adequate in size to accommodate the increased size proposed
for both the monument and wall signage.
23 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that access to the existing self-storage facility is
24 currently taken off of Campbell Place which ties in with Palomar Airport Road to
the north. The proposed request to increase the signage allocations will not have
any impact on the adjacent street system as an increase in the size or use of the
storage facility is not proposed.
27 5. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B) in that no landscaping is
28 proposed for the request to modify the signage allocations.
PC RESO NO. 6527 -2-
6. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
2 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
3 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15311(a) (Accessory
Structures) - of the state 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.
6 7. 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
