CASE NAME: POINSETTIA VILLAGE PAD 4 CASE NO.: CUP 04-28(A) WHEREAS, Donahue Schriber, “Developer/Owner,” has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as Parcel 12 of Parcel Map No. 15187 in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, March 28, 1988 (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment as shown on Exhibits “A” – “D” dated March 20, 2013, on file in the Planning Division POINSETTIA VILLAGE PAD 4 – CUP 04-28(A), as provided by the conditions of approval of CUP 04-28 and Chapter 21.42 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on March 20, 2013, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the CUP amendment; and WHEREAS, on June 1, 2005, the Planning Commission recommended approval of CUP 04-28 as described and conditioned in Planning Commission Resolution No. 5905; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 6946 PC RESO NO. 6946 -2- 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 WHEREAS, on July 12, 2005, the City Council approved CUP 04-28, as described and conditioned in City Council Resolution No. 2005-223. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of POINSETTIA VILLAGE PAD 4 – CUP 04-28(A) based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan, in that the proposed use of food service provides a desirable commercial service and convenience for customers; is consistent with the Local Shopping Center land use designation, the Mello I Segment of the Local Coastal Program and the Local Shopping Center and Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zones; and the proposed patio adds a desirable outdoor dining opportunity. 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the conversion of the existing retail space to food service will be adjacent to an existing food service use and there is adequate space to accommodate the proposed outdoor patio. Furthermore, the site is located in a local shopping center that is developed with a mix of retail, food service and other commercial uses and the proposed project has been designed to accommodate all required parking on-site and provides adequate traffic circulation. 3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood, in that the site is adequate to accommodate the change of use from retail to food service and the proposed 700 square foot outdoor patio and additional parking. 4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the project is served by Avenida Encinas, a four-lane, Secondary Arterial road operating at an acceptable level of service. The conversion of the existing 1,000 square foot retail space to food service would only generate a negligible amount of daily trips to the existing shopping center which can be accommodated by the existing street system.

That the proposed project is adequately designed to accommodate the high percentage of visitor, tourist and shuttle bus/alternative transportation users anticipated given the proposed use and site location within the overlay zone in that the existing shopping center functions adequately and no interior square footage is being added. Furthermore, all required parking for the proposed food service use is being provided on-site. 6. That the building forms, building colors and building materials combine to provide an architectural style of development that will add to the objective of high quality architecture and building design within the overlay zone in that the existing main structure is not expanding and therefore maintains the existing design and architecture. Furthermore, the proposed patio will add landscaping and a decorative wrought iron fence around the outdoor patio area. 7. That the project complies with all development and design criteria of the overlay zone. 8. 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 15301 – “Existing Facilities” 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. 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 building permit issuance. 1. If any of the following conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be implemented and maintained over time, if any of such conditions fail to be so implemented and maintained according to their terms, the City shall have the right to revoke or modify all approvals herein granted; deny or further condition issuance of all future building permits; deny, revoke, or further condition all certificates of occupancy issued under the authority of approvals herein granted; record a notice of violation on the property title; institute and prosecute litigation to compel their compliance with said conditions or seek damages for their violation. No vested rights are gained by Developer or a successor in interest by the City’s approval of this Conditional Use Permit Amendment. 2. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require the Developer to make, all corrections and modifications to the Conditional Use Permit Amendment documents, as necessary to make them internally consistent and in conformity with the final action on the project.
