That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings and environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan, 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 circulation, in that the General Plan encourages the establishment of child daycare centers in safe and convenient locations throughout the community caused by demographic, economic, and social forces. The subject site was reserved as a community facility site as part of the Calavera Hills Master Plan and was anticipated as a child daycare center. The Calavera Hills Master Plan was found to comply with all applicable General Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies including Land Use. The project is in conformance with the Master Plan and is therefore also in compliance with the General Plan. 2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that the Calavera Hills Master Plan requires that a one acre minimum site be provided for a community facility within Village Y of the master plan. The 1.05 acre site is adequate in size to accommodate a 8,570 square foot child care facility; all necessary setbacks, play areas, landscaping, circulation and parking areas will be provided. The project meets all necessary development standards and can accommodate up to 132 children and 19 employees and will provide 35 parking spaces as required. 3. That all yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the neighborhood will be provided and maintained, in that the project has been designed in accordance with all development standards of the C-F zone and those required for Village Y of the Calavera Hills Master Plan. All amenities required by the Child Care Ordinance, Chapter 21.83 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code are provided, in that a large fenced in outdoor play area is provided and is located adjacent to the structure with all play areas visible and accessible from inside the facility; the fences separating the outdoor play areas from the parking lot and College Boulevard are constructed of wrought iron and concrete block and are a minimum six feet in height; the child care facility is designed with multiple windows to allow natural light in; parking is provided at a ratio of one space per employee and one space per ten children for a total of 35 spaces (2 surplus spaces provided); and parking spaces for loading and unloading children are located near the entrance of the building and the parking lot is easy accessible from Red Bluff Place. The project is conditioned to provide proof of licensing prior to occupancy. 4. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project ADT for the child care facility (660 ADT) is being calculated with a trip rate of 5 trips/child. The street system serving PC RESO NO. 6910 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 the proposed daycare use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by this project. 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the elements of the city’s General Plan and the Calavera Hills Master Plan based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated October 3, 2012 including, but not limited to the following: a. Land Use – The proposed child daycare center is consistent with the (CF) Community Facilities General Plan Designation in that the purpose and intent of the CF General Plan Land Use designation is to allow facilities for child daycare centers, places of worship, senior citizens, and charities. b. Open Space and Conservation – Open space preserve areas are identified in the Master Plan. These areas are not located on the project site and are not proposed for development. c. Circulation – College Boulevard and Red Bluff Place are adequate in capacity to handle the traffic generated by the proposed use. All frontage improvements to College Boulevard and Red Bluff Place have been previously constructed. d. Noise – Based upon the modeled results in the Acoustical Site Assessment for the site, Investigative Science and Engineering, Inc., dated April 18, 2012, the project would not be exposed to noise levels exceeding the City’s 60 dBA CNEL exterior noise standard or exceeding the City’s 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standard. e. Public Safety – Each child daycare classroom exits directly into the playground area or the interior hallways. There is an existing fire hydrant at the westerly corner of the site. 6. 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 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development project. 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. 7. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 7 and all city public facility policies and ordinances. The projects 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; governments administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
