WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors
relating to the Tentative Tract Map.
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
APPROVES 201 WALNUT TOWNHOMES – CT 12-03, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any
applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State
Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the
airspace condominium units created through the tentative map satisfy all the
minimum requirements of Title 20 and have been designed to comply with other
applicable regulations including the Planned Development Ordinance, the Multiple
Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, Growth Management
Ordinance, and the Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since
surrounding properties are designated for Residential High Density (RH) development
on the General Plan, and the RH designated properties are developed with multi-
family projects in the immediate vicinity to the project which would be compatible
with the condominium project.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the
site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density
proposed, in that all required development standards and design criteria required by
the R-3 Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone, and Planned Development Ordinance
are incorporated into the project without the need for variances from development
standards and the lot coverage at 42%, is below the maximum 60% lot coverage
allowed.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the
public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in
that the project has been designed and conditioned so that there are no conflicts with
established easements and no additional right-of-way is required.

5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land
Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or
natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that structures are designed
with large patios and balconies to maximize the exposure of each unit to natural
light and ventilation.
7. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing proposed
by this subdivision, the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs
against the public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat, in that the project site has been previously graded and is surrounded by
existing development.
9. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing
California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has
been designed in accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality
protection in accordance with the City’s sewer and drainage standards and the project is conditioned to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) requirements.
10. 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 5, 2013 including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use - The RH Land Use designation allows for the development of two-
family and multiple-family residential units within a density range of 15 – 23
dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and at a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of 19 du/ac. At the RH GMCP, 14.8 dwelling units would be permitted
on this 0.783 acre property. The proposed 14-unit project has a density of 17.87
du/ac, which is within the RH density range of 15 – 23 du/ac, but is 0.8 dwelling
units below the GMCP of 19 du/ac. The GMCP is used for the purpose of
calculating the City’s compliance with Government Code Section 65863.
However, consistent with Program 3.8 of the City’s certified Housing Element,
all of the dwelling units, which were anticipated toward achieving the City’s
share of the regional housing needs that are not utilized by developers in
approved projects, will be deposited in the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank.
This project will deposit 0.8 dwelling units into the Dwelling Unit Bank and
these excess dwelling units are then available for allocation to other projects.
Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are
adequate properties identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity, including second dwelling units, adequate to
satisfy the City’s share of the regional housing need.

is consistent with the 60 dBA CNEL exterior noise standard for required
common and private recreation space and is consistent with the 45 dBA CNEL
interior noise standards.
d. Housing – The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General
Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as the applicant is proposing to
purchase two affordable housing credits within the Roosevelt Affordable
Housing Project if available prior to final map approval or an alternative
solution will need to be authorized by the City Council prior to the issuance of building permits.

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.

collected prior to the to the issuance of a building permit..
12. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new
construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional
requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to
Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of
public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project.
13. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the
Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1.

15. 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 15332 (In-Fill
Development Projects) Class 32 of the state CEQA Guidelines. The project is
consistent with the General Plan as well as with the Zoning Ordinance, the project site is
within the City limits, is less than 5 acres in size, and is surrounded by urban uses; there
is no evidence that the site has value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened
species; approval of the project will not result in significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required
utilities and public services. 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.
16. 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.
