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.
Q
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
9 APPROVES TRITON RESIDENCE - CDP 09-16 based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
10 Findings;
11 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
Program and all applicable policies in that the project consists of the construction of a
two-story, 4,358 square-foot single-family residence on a lot with a General Plan
13 Land Use designation of RLM (Residential, Low-Medium Density), which allows for
single-family residential development. The RLM General Plan Land Use
14 designation has a density range of 0-4 dwelling units per acre with a Growth
Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. At the RLM
GMCP, 1.34 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.42-acre (net developable)
I /- property. As one single family home is proposed at a density of 2.38 dwelling units
per acre, the project is consistent with the RLM General Plan Land Use designation.
17 The two-story residence will be compatible with the surrounding predominantly
two-story residences and will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public
18 lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the
coastal zone. In addition, no agricultural uses, sensitive resources, geologic
instability, flood hazard or coastal shorelines access opportunities exist on-site.
20 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
21 of the Coastal Act in that the site is not located adjacent to the shore. Therefore, the
project will not interfere with the public's right to physical access to the sea and the
22 site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
9^J 3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
24 Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the
City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance,
25 Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban
Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff,
2® pollutants, and soil erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the
»_ subject property and the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or
susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
28
PC RESO NO. 6647 -2-
4. Although the project is located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to
2 Map X of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990, mitigation fees were paid to
convert the property to urban uses when the property was created as a result of PM
3 19411; therefore, the proposal to construct a single-family residence is not subject to the
provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance).
The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 20 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
7 provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
° facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
10
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.
12 b. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
13 __ collected prior to the issuance of a building permit.
14 6. The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and,
therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay
15 Zone (Chapter 21.201 of the Zoning Ordinance).
That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
, 7 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
18 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) (construction of a
single-family residence in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
19 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.
8. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan based on the facts set forth in
22 the staff report dated January 20, 2010, including, but not limited to the following: The
project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of RLM (Residential Low-
Medium Density). The RLM Land Use designation allows development of single-
family residences at a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre with a Growth
Management Control Point (GMCP) of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. At the RLM
25 GMCP, 1.34 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.42-acre (net developable)
property. As one single family dwelling is proposed at a density of 2.38 dwelling
26 units per acre, the project is consistent with the RLM General Plan Land Use
designation.
»„ 9. 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
PC RESO NO. 6647 -3-
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to this project, and the extent and the
2 degree of exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
