Findings:
Carlsbad Tract Map
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 Residential Density-Multiple (RD-M) 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 or Open
Space on the General Plan, and the RH designated properties are developed with multi-family
projects 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 RD-M Zone and
the Planned Development Ordinance are incorporated into the project without the need for
variances from development standards and the lot coverage at 48%, 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 patios
and multiple 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
October 2, 2013 including, but not limited to the following:
a) Land Use – The project is consistent with the General Plan as discussed in Section “A” of
the staff report. The proposed residential condominium project density at 20.41 dwelling
units per acre (10 DUs) is within the RH density range of 15 – 23 du/ac and consistent with
the RHNA Base density of 20 du/ac. Because the 10 unit project exceeds the maximum
unit yield (9.31 DUs) at the GMCP of the RH General Plan Land Use designation, 0.69 DU
will be withdrawn out of the City’s excess dwelling unit bank consistent with City Council
Policy No. 43 and based on the following findings:
11. In approving a request for an allocation of excess dwelling units, the following three findings
contained in City Council Policy No. 43 – Excess Dwelling Unit Bank must be made:
a) That the project location and density are compatible with existing adjacent residential
neighborhoods and/or nearby existing or planned uses in that the project is located within
a multi-family residential neighborhood which has a Residential High (RH) General Plan
Land Use designation and R-D-M zone that consists predominantly of attached
condominiums and apartment buildings that are approved at a similar density (15 – 23
du/ac) as the density of the proposed project (20.41 du/ac), and therefore the project is
compatible with existing adjacent residential properties in the neighborhood;
b) That the project location and density are in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
General Plan and any other applicable planning document in that the project’s location and
density described above are in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General
Plan for the RH Land Use designation; and
c) That the project complies with the findings stated in the General Plan Land Use Element for
projects that exceed the GMCP for the applicable density range in that: 1) the project will
provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in excess of the control point
to ensure that the adequacy of the City’s public facilities plans will not be adversely
impacted; 2) there have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at
densities below the control point so that the approval will not result in exceeding the
quadrant limit; and, 3) all necessary public facilities required by the City’s Growth
Management Program will be constructed, or are guaranteed to be constructed,
concurrently with the need for them created by this development and in compliance with
the adopted City standards. The proposed project is consistent with the above required
findings in that there have been sufficient developments in the southeast quadrant that
have developed at densities below the GMCP such that the allocation of 0.69 DUs would
not result in exceeding the quadrant limit, the project is conditioned to pay the
appropriate fees to comply with City’s Growth Management Program, and the City’s
public facilities plans will not be adversely impacted as the allocation of 0.69 units has
already been analyzed and anticipated within the southeast quadrant.
1) Circulation – The project will take access off of Navarra Drive which has full street
improvements. On-site circulation consists of a private 24 foot wide driveway which
will be designed in accordance with City standards.
2) Noise - The condominium project is not located adjacent to any noise source and is
consistent with the residential 60 dBA CNEL exterior noise standard for required

common and private recreation space and is consistent with the 45 dBA CNEL interior
noise standards.
3) Housing – The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and
the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as the applicant has been conditioned to enter
into an Affordable Housing Agreement to purchase two affordable housing credits
within the Cassia Heights Affordable Apartment Project.
4) Public Safety – The project is required to provide an automatic fire sprinkler system
within each unit.
Planned Development Permit
12. 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 the project density of 20.41 dwelling units per acre is consistent with the Residential High
Density Land Use designation (15 – 23 du/acre) and the RH RHNA Base of 20 du/ac. 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.
13. 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 no standards variances are proposed or required, the two
separate, 2 & 3-story buildings containing ten residential units is compatible with surrounding
multi-family residential uses, and no negative circulation impacts will result as the existing
roadway (Navarra Drive) is adequate to accommodate the traffic (80 ADT) generated by this
project.
14. 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.
15. The project’s design, including architecture, private driveway, 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 10 residential condominium units are located within two separate
buildings with a private 24 foot wide common driveway located off of Navarra Drive. The two
and three story residential buildings with attached two car garages are designed with
craftsman style architecture. The design uses building materials including wood and stone
siding, brick columns, and a decorative tile roof. There are a variety of roof planes that
provide different roof heights and off-set building projections. The building colors and accent
trim consists of warm brown and beige/cream tones. The building facades will include a
variety of different architectural elements including columns, decks, spiral stairs, wood siding,
foam trim over the windows, and wood railing that will be aesthetically pleasing and an
attribute to the neighborhood. Rear elevations also feature large windows and decks to
maximize golf course views. The project site layout includes a private driveway, onsite and
offsite guest parking spaces, accessibility ramp and path of travel for pedestrian circulation
within the site, and rich landscaping with a variety of trees and plant materials will be
provided throughout the site to enhance the visual appearance of the units and to create a
sense of privacy for the residents. At the rear of the site is a common recreation amenity that

includes a below ground pool and spa. All elements (i.e. site layout, architecture, landscaping)
create continuity in the overall project design.
16. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 6 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 Encinitas Union and San
Dieguito Union High School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school
facilities.
b. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will be
collected prior to issuance of building permit.
c. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be
collected prior to the issuance of building permit.
17. 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.
18. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 6.
19. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
20. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from the
Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and implementation
program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and provide for effective
protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while continuing to allow compatible
development in accordance with Carlsbad’s Growth Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife
habitats and sensitive species is required by the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
City’s General Plan which provides for the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and
environmental benefits from the preservation of open space within an increasingly urban
environment. Moreover, each new development will contribute to the need for additional
regional infrastructure that, in turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu
Mitigation Fee imposed on all new development within the City is essential to fund
implementation of the City’s Habitat Management Plan.
21. 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.
22. 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.
