B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
APPROVES LA COSTA VISTA – PUD 11-05, based on the following findings
and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
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 in that the project density of 17.5 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 standards applicable to the property as contained in Chapters 21.24 and
21.45 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
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
impact the site, surroundings, or traffic, in that, in that no standards variances are
proposed or required, the proposed 2-story seven unit condominium project is
compatible with surrounding multi-family residential uses, and no negative
circulation impacts will result as the existing roadway (Jerez Court) 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
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
condominium units are arranged in a 4-plex and 3-plex configuration within two
separate buildings around the common driveway. The two story structures with
attached two car garages are designed with Santa Barbara style architecture.
Architectural design elements include a variety of roof planes and off-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
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
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 and Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
5. 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.
