26 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
27 Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
2° A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
2 APPROVES ALYSSUM ROAD LOT 8 - CDP 10-20 based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
3 Findings:
4 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
new 2,328 square-foot single-family residence with attached three car garage on a
5 lot designated as Residential Medium Density (RM), by the Mello I Land Use Plan.
The proposed two-story dwelling unit will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen
7 from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual
beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are
there any sensitive resources located on the property. In addition, the proposed
n single-family dwelling unit is not located in an area of known geologic instability or
flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage along the coastline, no public
10 opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the subject site.
Furthermore, the residentially-designated site is not suited for water-oriented
11 recreation activities.
19 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
13 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
14 site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
15 3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
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,
j 7 Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban
Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff,
18 pollutants, and soil erosion; no development is proposed in areas of steep natural
slopes (> 25% gradient); no native vegetation is located on the subject property;
19 and, the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to
_„ accelerated erosion, floods or liquefaction.
21 4. The project is not located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to Map X
of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990, and therefore, is not subject to the
22 provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance).23
24 5. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 4 and all City public facility policies and
25 ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
26 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.
28 Specifically,
PC RESO NO. 6774 -2-
a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
2 District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
3 b. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of a building permit.
4
,- 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
6 Zone (Chapter 21.201 of the Zoning Ordinance).
7 7. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects
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
9 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) (construction of a
single-family residence) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination,
10 the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state
CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
12 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
13 the staff report dated May 4, 2011 including, but not limited to the following: The
project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of RM (Residential Medium
14 Density). The RM Land Use designation allows development of single-family
,, dwelling units at a density of 4-8 dwelling units per acre with a Growth
Management Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwelling units per acre. At the RM
16 GMCP, 1.68 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.28 acre (net developable)
property. The proposed project is consistent with the policies and programs of the
17 General Plan. The 1 dwelling unit proposed is .68 dwelling units below the RM
Growth Management yield of 1.68 dwelling units used for the purpose of calculating
the City's compliance with Government Code Section 65863. However, consistent
19 with Program 3.8 of the City's certified Housing Element, all of the dwelling units
which were anticipated toward achieving the City's share of the regional housing
20 need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects, including fractional
units, are deposited in the City's Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling
21 units are available for allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss
?9 of residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties identified in the
Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity, including
23 second dwelling units, adequate to satisfy the City's share of the regional housing
need.
24
9. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
25 contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
„ , to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to this project, and the extent and the
degree of exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
