Findings:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal
Program and all applicable policies in that the development consists of a new single
g family dwelling unit and the development is consistent with the Mello II Land Use
designation of RM. The proposed two-story, single-family residence is consistent
7 with the surrounding development of two-story single-family structures. The two-
story residence will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen 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. The proposed single-family residence is not located in an
10 area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. The site is located in close
proximity to the coast but no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are
11 available from the subject site. The residentially designated site is not suited for
water-oriented recreation activities.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the shore and
14 therefore the project will not interfere with the public's right to physical access to
the ocean and the site is not suited for water-oriented recreational activities.
15
3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
16 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, Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban mnoff, pollutants, and soil
erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the
19 site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
4. 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
22 Zone (Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance).
23 5. That the City Planner 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
24 environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) (construction of
2^ one single-family residence on a legal parcel in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA
2^ Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions
listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
27
6. The project is not located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to Map X
28 of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and, therefore, 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 Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
2 Facilities Management Plan for Zone 22, and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to constmct or
3 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; govemment administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
^ project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
6
a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
7 District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.

b. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
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
11 the staff report dated January 18, 2012 including, but not limited to the following: The
project site has a General Plan Land Use designation of RM (Residential Medium
12 Density). The RM Land Use designation allows development of single-family
residences at a density of 4-8 dwelling units per acre with a Growth Management
Control Point (GMCP) of 6 dwellmg units per acre. At the RLM GMCP, 0.66
14 dwelling units would be permitted on this 0.11 acre (net developable) property. One
single-family dwelling unit is guaranteed pursuant to the following General Plan
15 provision: "Notwithstanding the density provisions and intent of each residential
land use designation, a one-family dwelling shall be permitted on any legal lot that
16 existed as of October 28, 2004." The subject lot was legally created prior to October
J y 28, 2004; therefore development of a one-family dwelling is consistent with the RM
General Plan Land Use designation.
1:
The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance
19 with the La Costa Downs Specific Plan (SP 201) based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated October 20, 2010 including, but not limited to the following: The proposed
development is in compliance with all applicable development standard regulations
21 of SP 201 including setbacks, building height and lot coverage. The project is in
compliance with all applicable design standard regulations of SP 201 through the
22 use of varied projecting eaves with many columns and planter boxes; use of
decorative textured materials and colors (including stucco, glass, and wood siding,
23 and with many different size and shapes of glass windows); and a flat roof top with
a deck and a large balcony/deck at the rear of the property. The architectural
design also provides many off-set building planes on most elevations.
10. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
26 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
27 degree of exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
