7 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF LA COSTA OAKS NORTH 3.3, based on
the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
9
Findings:
10
1. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan, and complies with all applicable
11 provisions of Chapter 21.45 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the Villages of La Costa
Master Plan, in that the project is for the approval of architecture and plotting for 67
single-family detached units located on previously approved lots (CT 05-15) with a
13 minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet. In addition, the project achieves the General
Plan's Residential Objectives through providing a variety of safe and attractive
14 housing that preserves the neighborhood atmosphere and identity of existing
residential areas. The single-family residential development complies with all
development standards of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan as shown on
i f Attachments 6 through 9 (Tables 1 - 4).
17 2. The proposed project will not be detrimental to existing uses, or to uses specifically
permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will not adversely
18 impact the site, surroundings, or traffic, in that the project has been designated for
single-family residential development with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet.
The single-family residential neighborhoods to the north, south and east of the site
2Q are also similar in character and density. Lands to the west of the project site will
remain open-space as approved under the Villages of La Costa Master Plan. Traffic
21 has been previously analyzed for compliance through the approval of Tentative
Map No. CT 05-15 and Planned Development Permit No. PUD 05-12 (Planning
22 Commission Resolutions No. 6148 and 6149).
23 3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that
24 the 67 single-family residential homes have been analyzed for consistency with all
applicable city codes, policies and regulations.
25
4. The project's design, including architecture and plotting:
26
a. Contributes to the community's overall aesthetic quality, in that the project consists
of a high quality residential design through the use of a variety of floor plans,
2g exterior building planes, roof planes and color schemes, as well as a variety of
PCRESONO. 6711 -2-
design elements distinctive to the 3 proposed architectural styles: Spanish,
2 Tuscan and Santa Barbara.
3 b. Includes the use of harmonious materials and colors, and the appropriate use of
landscaping, in that the project's distinctive architectural styles includes nine
different color schemes with a variety of design elements such as: accent colors,
t- window/door trims, roof tiling, decorative stucco, wood accents, stone veneer
and wainscoting. The proposed materials and colors contribute to the distinctive
6 architectural styles while the previously approved landscaping will highlight all
proposed architectural designs.
7
c. Achieves continuity among all elements of the project, in that the project's high
quality architectural design helps create interest and character to the entire
9 neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed homes have been carefully plotted to
avoid any identical homes (including floor plans, color scheme and architectural
10 styles) from occurring side-by-side, thereby avoiding a monotonous residential
street scene yet still providing a sense of continuity through design.
12 5. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 11 and all City public facility policies and
13 ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
14 and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
1 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.
16
6. That all necessary public facilities required by the Growth Management Ordinance will
17 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 the project
is being proposed and will be implemented consistent with the requirements of the
19 Villages of La Costa Master Plan arid Zone 11 Local Facilities Management Plan.
20 7. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
21
8. The Planning Director has determined that:22
~_ a. The project is a subsequent activity of the Villages of La Costa Master Plan, a
project for which a program EIR was prepared, and a notice for the activity has been
24 given, which includes statements that this activity is within the scope of the program
approved earlier, and that the program EIR adequately describes the activity for the
25 purposes of CEQA; [15168(c)(2) and (e)]; and/or
b. This project is consistent with the Master Plan cited above; and
2 c. The Villages of La Costa Master Plan EIR 98-07 was certified by the City Council
27 on October 23, 2001 in connection with the prior project or plan; and
d. The project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as significant in
28 the prior EIR; and
PCRESONO. 6711 -3-
e. None of the circumstances requiring a Subsequent EIR or a Supplemental EIR under
2 CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 or 15163 exist; and
f. The City Council finds that all feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives
3 identified in the Villages of La Costa Master Plan EIR 98-07, which are
appropriate to this Subsequent Project, have been completed, incorporated into the
project design or are required as conditions of approval for this Subsequent Project.
9. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
6 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
7 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
