B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES EUCALYPTUS LANE – CDP 11-20, based on the following
findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
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
two new single-family residences (3,388 SF and 3,068 SF in area) with attached
garages located on two existing residential lots designated as Residential Low
Medium Density (RLM), by the Mello II Land Use Plan. The proposed two-story
dwelling units 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. In addition, the proposed single-family dwelling units are
not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. Since the site
does not have frontage along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal
shoreline access are available from the subject site. Furthermore, the residentially-
designated sites are 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 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
site is not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
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, Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil
erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the
site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
4. Although the project is located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to
Map X of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990, mitigation fees were paid to
convert the property to urban uses when the property was created as a result of PM
19411; therefore, the proposal to construct a single-family residence is not subject to the
provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance).
5. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
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; government administrative facilities; and open space,
related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent
with need. Specifically,

a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
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 a building permit.
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
Zone (Chapter 21.201 of the Zoning Ordinance).
7. 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
environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the
preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) (construction of
up to three dwelling units in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA 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.
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
the staff report dated June 6, 2012, including, but not limited to the following: the
project consists of the construction of two single-family residences (3,388 & 3,068
square feet in size) on lots designated RLM (Residential Low-Medium Density) by
the Mello II Land Use designation. The subject parcels were created as a result of
Parcel Map 20369, recorded on September 26, 2007 (MS 04-18, CDP 04-34, SUP 04-
09, and HDP 04-08). At the time the Coastal Development Permit (and additional
development applications) was processed for the subdivision, the project was found
to be in compliance with the RLM General Plan Land Use designation and the
Growth Management Ordinance (CMC Section 21.90.045). Therefore, the proposed
project consisting of the development of two single-family homes is consistent with
the RLM General Plan Land Use designation and the Growth Management
Ordinance (CMC Section 21.90.045).
9. 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
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
Conditions:

Note: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to issuance of a
building permit.
1. If any of the following conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be
