NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
28
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
2
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
3 APPROVES SEABREEZE VILLAS - PUD 10-03, based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
c Findings:
6 1. The proposed project is consistent with the general plan, and complies with all applicable
provisions of this chapter, and all other applicable provisions of the Carlsbad Municipal
Code, in that the project density of 17.01 dwelling units per acre is consistent with
the Residential High Density Land Use designation (15 - 23 du/acre). As discussed
in the staff report, the project is consistent with the development and design
9 standards applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.24, 21.45 and
21.82 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
10
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
12 impact the site, surroundings, or traffic, in that no standards variances are proposed or
required, the proposed 2-story twelve unit condominium project is compatible with
13 surrounding multi-family residential uses, and no negative circulation impacts will
result as the existing roadway (Tamarack Avenue) is adequate to accommodate the
traffic generated by this project.
3. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that
it has been designed to comply with all applicable development standards to ensure
compatibility with surrounding residential uses. The project's design, including
17 architecture, streets, and site layout: a) contributes to the community's overall aesthetic
quality; b) includes the use of harmonious materials and colors, and the appropriate use of
landscaping; and c) achieves continuity among all elements of the project, in that the
. 9 condominium units are arranged in a 6-plex, 4-plex, and duplex configuration
within three separate buildings around the common driveway. The two story
20 structures with attached two car garages are designed with Santa Barbara style
architecture. Architectural design elements include a variety of roof planes and off-
21 set building projections, accented building facades featuring stone veneer, and the
proposed colors, beige/tan stucco with taupe colored facia and trim elements, will be
aesthetically pleasing and an attribute to the neighborhood. The project site layout
23 includes a private driveway enhanced with earth tone pavers, rich landscaping with
a variety of trees and plant materials and open spaces to enhance the visual
24 appearance of the units. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping)
create continuity in the overall project design.
4. That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B).
27 5. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
28 contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
PC RESO NO. 6742 -2-
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
2 degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
