26 relating to the Planning Commission Determination; and
27
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
28
Commission as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
2
B) That based on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Commission APPROVES
3 1369 MAGNOLIA AVENUE PARCEL MAP - PCD 10-02 based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:4
c Findings:
6 1 • That the property cannot be served adequately with a public street without panhandle lots
due to unfavorable conditions resulting from unusual topography, surrounding land
7 development, or lot configuration, in that due to the narrow configuration (120.54'
8 wide) and considerable depth (288.59') of the existing lot and the fact that it is
surrounded by existing subdivided and developed properties, the subdivision of the
9 property into three lots, as the General Plan allows, is feasible only if two panhandle
lots are proposed.
10
2. That the project's panhandle lots will not preclude or adversely affect the ability to
provide full public street access to other properties within the same block, in that the
12 "stem" and 20-foot-wide shared driveway/private road easement portion of each lot
is within the boundaries of the subject property and extends completely to Magnolia
13 Avenue as required by Section 21.10.100 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. In
addition, the proposed panhandle lots do not include access easements that are
1 located on adjacent properties and all adjacent properties currently have direct
, e access to a public street.
16 3. That the buildable portion of each panhandle lot consists of a minimum of 8,000 square
feet, which meets the requirements of Section 21.10.100.D (1) of the Carlsbad Municipal
17 Code.
1° 4. That the front, side, and rear property lines of the buildable lot, for purposes of
, o determining required yards, are as shown on Exhibit "A."
20 5. That the project's panhandle lots comply with all requirements of Section 21.08.080 of
the Carlsbad Municipal Code in that the lots, as demonstrated on the project exhibits,
21 meet all development, dimensional, and area standards, and have sufficient area to
meet requirements regarding adequate parking and vehicle maneuvering, drainage,
driveway width, and lot frontage.
23
6. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
24 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
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15315, Minor Land
26 Divisions, 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
27 Guidelines do not apply to this project.
28 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
PC RESO NO. 6765 -2-
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.
