12 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
13 Findings;
14 1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision, as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any
applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State
jg Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the
airspace condominium units being created satisfy all minimum requirements of
17 Titles 20 and 21 governing lot sizes and configuration and have been designed to
comply with all other applicable regulations.
18
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since the
property to the north is developed as attached town homes, property to the south is
20 vacant but is designated as Residential Low Medium Density (RLM) and is
proposed for development with attached multi-family residential, the property east
21 of the site is developed with multi-family apartments, and the property to the west is
developed with multi-family apartments.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the
site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density
24 proposed, in that the project site can accommodate the proposed residential
development while complying with all setback, lot coverage, density, and height
25 development standards and public facilities requirements.
26 4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the
public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in
2g that concurrent with recordation of the final map, the developer will vacate and
adjust any easements that conflict with proposed development.
PC RESO NO. 6650 -2-
5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land
2 Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
3 6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or
natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the development is
4 located where cooling coastal breezes reduce the need for mechanical air-
conditioning, and construction techniques will deliver high insulation values to
reduce the need for mechanical heating, and landscaping will be installed to provide
g shade and reduce the temperatures of developed areas.
7 7. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed
by this subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs
8 against the public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
. ^ 8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
11 habitat, in that the project will implement the required mitigation measures
contained in the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration and the
12 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for CT 04-10.
^ 9. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing
,A California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has
been designed in accordance with Best Management Practices for water quality
15 protection in accordance with the City's sewer and drainage standards and the
project is conditioned to comply with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination
16 System (NPDES) requirements.
1 7 10. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
j g conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan based on the facts set forth in
the staff report dated December 16, 2009, in that the project density and housing type
19 is consistent with the intent of the Residential Medium-High Density (RMH) and
Residential High Density (RH) Land Use designations and is compatible with the
20 surrounding land uses in that the adjacent land uses are designated Residential
91 Medium Density (RM), RMH, and RH; and that the project will provide fees in-lieu
of housing units affordable to lower-income households.
22
11. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
23 Facilities Management Plan for Zone 21 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
25 and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
26 project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
27
~o a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
PC RESO NO. 6650 -3-
b. Park in-lieu fee is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will
2 be collected prior to issuance of a building permit.
3 c. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
4
12. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new
construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional
requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to
Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of
7 public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project.
8 13. That all necessary public facilities required by the Growth Management Ordinance will
be constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them
created by this project and in compliance with adopted City standards, in that
IQ improvements necessary to maintain compliance with the Growth Management
performance standards are contained within the Zone 21 LFMP and the project will
11 comply with the general and special conditions of the zone.
12 14. The project is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport, dated April 1994, in that as conditioned, the applicant
shall record a notice concerning aircraft noise as the project is within the Noise
14 Impact Notification Area. The project is compatible with the projected noise levels of
the CLUP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility matrix of the CLUP, the
15 proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that no areas of the project are
within the 60 CNEL or greater noise contours for the airport.16
15. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
18 16. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from
19 the Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and
implementation program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and
20 provide for effective protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while
continuing to allow compatible development in accordance with Carlsbad's Growth
Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife habitats and sensitive species is required by
22 the Open Space and Conservation Element of the City's General Plan which provides for
the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and environmental benefits from the
23 preservation of open space within an increasingly urban environment. Moreover, each
new development will contribute to the need for additional regional infrastructure that, in
2 turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu Mitigation Fee imposed on
25 all new development within the City is essential to fund implementation of the City's
Habitat Management Plan.
26
17. The Planning Director has determined that:
27
a. Poinsettia Place is a project for which a Mitigated Negative Declaration was
28 previously adopted [15162];

Declaration or a Supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or
7 15163 exist.
o
18. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
9 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
10 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.

10 45. Prior to the issuance of grading permit or building permit, whichever occurs first,
Developer shall submit for City approval a "Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP)."
The SWMP shall demonstrate compliance with the City of Carlsbad Standard Urban
Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), Order 2001-01 issued by the San Diego Region of
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and City of Carlsbad Municipal
13 Code. The SWMP shall address measures to avoid contact or filter said pollutants from
storm water, to the maximum extent practicable, for the post-construction stage of the
14 project. At a minimum, the SWMP shall:
a. identify existing and post-development on-site pollutants-of-concern;
b. identify the hydrologic unit this project contributes to and impaired water bodies that
could be impacted by this project;
17 c. recommend source controls and treatment controls that will be implemented with this
project to avoid contact or filter said pollutants from storm water to the maximum
° extent practicable before discharging offsite;
d. establish specific procedures for handling spills and routine cleanup. Special
considerations and effort shall be applied to resident education on the proper
20 procedures for handling cleanup and disposal of pollutants;
e. ensure long-term maintenance of all post-construction BMPs in perpetuity; and
21 f. identify how post-development runoff rates and velocities from the site will not
exceed the pre-development runoff rates and velocities to the maximum extent
practicable.
23
46. Upon completion of grading, Developer shall file an "as-graded" geologic plan with the
24 City Engineer. The plan shall clearly show all the geology as exposed by the grading
operation, all geologic corrective measures as actually constructed and must be based on a

by both the soils engineer and the engineering geologist, and shall be submitted on a
24" x 36" mylar or similar drafting film format suitable for a permanent record.
27
47. This project requires off-site grading. No grading for private improvements shall occur
28 outside the limits of this approval unless Developer obtains, records, and submits a
recorded copy to the City Engineer a grading or slope easement or agreement from the
PC RESO NO. 6650 -12-
owners of the affected properties. If Developer is unable to obtain the grading or slope
2 easement, or agreement, no grading permit will be issued. In that case, Developer must
either apply for and obtain an amendment of this approval or modify the plans so grading
3 will not occur outside the project and apply for and obtain a finding of substantial
conformance from both the City Engineer and Planning Director.
