B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
APPROVES SDP 13-04/PUD 13-07/CDP 13-16/MS 13-05 – BEACHWALK AT JUNIPER
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Site Development Plan
1. 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 project consists of the development of a four-unit multiple-family residential air-
space condominium project on a 0.202-acre previously developed infill site located at 369
Juniper Avenue on the south side of the street between Garfield Street and the railroad
tracks. The site is predominately surrounded by existing multiple-family residential
developments to the north, south and west, with the exception of an existing single-family
residence to the east. The proposed multiple-family residential project at a density of 19.8
du/ac is consistent with the Residential High Density (RH: 15–23 du/ac) General Plan Land Use
designation. The project is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the General
Plan as discussed in Section “A” of the project staff report. The proposed multiple-family
residential use will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the
area in which the use is located in that, multiple-family residential is a use permitted within
the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone and is compatible with the other residential uses
surrounding the project site, including single-family residential. The multiple-family
residential condominium project will not adversely impact the site, surroundings, or traffic
circulation in that the existing surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate
the 32 Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated by the project; the project will provide full street
improvements along its frontage in the form of curb, gutter, sidewalk and additional right-of-
way for the development of a future cul-de-sac at the end of Juniper Avenue; the project
complies with all minimum development standards of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, including
but not limited to the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, Beach Area Overlay Zone
(BAOZ), and the Planned Development Ordinance; and the project is adequately parked onsite
and does not result in any environmental impacts.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in that
the four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project complies with all of
the minimum development standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, parking,
and height restrictions) of the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay
Zone (BAOZ), and the Planned Development Ordinance as demonstrated in the project staff
report.
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 as demonstrated in the project staff report the four-unit multiple-family
residential air-space condominium project complies with all of the minimum development
standards (i.e. front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, parking, and height restrictions) of
the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ), and the
Planned Development Ordinance. Landscaping along the outer edge of the property,

including the front setback area along Juniper Avenue is provided consistent with the
requirements of the city’s Landscape Manual. In addition to the above, the project design
incorporates a dense landscape screen, consisting of trees, bamboo, and other dense
landscape plant species, planted along the common property line in the southwest corner of
the project to specifically limit or obscure inadvertent views into the adjoining living areas
(including an outdoor patio) of the two-story residential condominium unit located on the
adjoining property directly to the south. A solid privacy wall has also been incorporated into
southern exposure of the third floor roof deck consisting of opaque glass so as to further
address privacy concerns.
4. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the four-unit multiple-family residential air-space
condominium project will take access off of Juniper Avenue, which is identified as a local
street, and is designed to adequately handle the 32 Average Daily Trips (ADT) generated by
the project. In addition to the above, the project will be providing full street improvements
along its frontage in the form of curb, gutter, sidewalk; as well as providing additional right-of-
way for future development of a cul-de-sac at the end of Juniper Avenue adjacent to the rail
road tracks
Planned Development Permit
5. 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 density of 19.8 dwelling units per acre for the four-unit multiple-family residential air-
space condominium project is consistent with the Residential High (RH) Density Land Use
designation (15-23 du/acre). As discussed in the project staff report, the project is consistent
with all minimum development and design standards applicable to the property as contained
in Chapters 21.16 (Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, 21.45 (Planned Developments) and
21.82 (Beach Area Overlay Zone (BAOZ)) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
6. 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 the four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium
project does not propose or require any variances from standards; is compatible with existing
surrounding multiple-family and single-family residential uses as permitted by the Multiple-
Family Residential (R-3) Zone; and does not create any traffic circulation impacts as Juniper
Avenue is adequately designed to accommodate the 32 Average Daily Trips (ADT) being
generated.
7. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, in that the
four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project has been designed to
comply with all applicable development standards to ensure compatibility with surrounding
multiple-family and single-family residential uses.
8. 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 four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project is
arranged in an attached 4-plex configuration along a private driveway enhanced by decorative
pavers and porous concrete banding with landscaping along both sides. The three story
structure with attached two car garages is architecturally harmonious with the surrounding

beach environment and includes a variety of roof planes and off-set building projections.
Primary building materials consist of stucco, horizontal siding, and masonry veneer. Paint
colors are aesthetically pleasing and consist of natural beiges and warm green tones. Dark
colored asphalt composition shingles cover a 3:12 pitched roof over each unit; and metal
awnings adorn many of the windows, doors, and balconies throughout. All elements (i.e. site
layout, architecture, landscaping) create continuity in the overall project design.
Coastal Development Permit
9. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Segment of the Certified
Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies, in that the site is designated RH (15-23
du/ac) for multi-family residential development by the Mello II LCP and the project consists of
the demolition of an existing single-family home with shed and development of a four-unit
multi-family residential air-space condominium project with attached garages at 19.8 du/acres
on a 0.202 acre previously developed site; the proposed three-story dwelling units will not
obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor
otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist
on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the development area of the
property. In addition, the proposed multiple-family residential project is not located in an
area of known geologic instability or flood hazards. Since the site does not have frontage
along the coastline, no public opportunities for coastal shoreline access are available from the
subject site. Furthermore, the residentially-designated site is not suited for water-oriented
recreation activities.
10. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the shoreline. Therefore, the four-
unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project will not interfere with the
public’s right to physical access the ocean and furthermore, the residentially designated site is
not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
11. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the four-unit multiple-family residential air-
space condominium project will adhere to the City’s Master Drainage Plan, Grading
Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP),
and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban
runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. Furthermore, no natural steep slopes ≥25% gradient will
be affected by the project, and no native vegetation is located on the subject site. In addition,
the project site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated
erosion, floods or liquefaction.
12. The project is not located in the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone, according to Map X of the
Land Use Plan, certified September 1990 and Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fees are not
required in accordance with the provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter
21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance).
13. The project is not located between the sea and the first public road parallel to the sea and
therefore, is not subject to the provisions of the Coastal Shoreline Development Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.204 of the Zoning Ordinance).

Tentative Parcel Map
14. 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 four multiple-family
residential air-space condominium units created through the tentative parcel map satisfy all
the minimum requirements of Title 20 and have been designed to comply with other
applicable regulations including, the Multiple-family Residential (R-3) Zone, the Beach Area
Overlay Zone (BAOZ), the Planned Development Ordinance, Growth Management Ordinance,
and the Residential High Density (RH) General Plan Land Use designation.
15. 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 are predominantly developed with multiple-family residential projects of a
similar density.
16. 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 Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone, the Planned Development Ordinance, and the Beach Area Overlay
Zone (BAOZ) are incorporated into the four-unit multiple-family residential air-space
condominium project without the need for any variances from development standards.
17. 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 four-unit
multiple-family residential air-space condominium project has been designed and conditioned
so that there are no conflicts with established easements and no additional right-of-way is
required.
18. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation
Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
19. 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 to include
patios roof decks, and multiple balconies oriented to maximize exposure of each unit to
natural light and ventilation from nearby coastal breezes.
20. 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.
21. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, in
that the four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project site has been
previously graded and is surrounded by existing development.
22. 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 four-unit multiple-family
residential air-space condominium 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 is conditioned to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements.
General
23. 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
December 4, 2013 including, but not limited to the following:
a) Land Use – The four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project is
consistent with the elements and objectives of the General Plan as discussed in Section
“A” of the project staff report. The proposed residential density of 19.8 dwelling units per
acre (4 dwelling units) is within the Residential High (RH) density range (15–23 du/ac).
Because the four unit project exceeds the maximum unit yield (3.8 dwelling units) at the
Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) of the RH General Plan Land Use designation,
0.2 dwelling units will be withdrawn from the City’s excess dwelling unit bank consistent
with City Council Policy No. 43.
b) Circulation – The project will take access off of Juniper Avenue, which does not presently
include full street improvements along its frontage. The project has been conditioned to
install all infrastructure-related improvements (including but not limited to curb, gutter
and sidewalk) and any necessary easements for these improvements concurrent with
development.
c) Noise - The project will not result in exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in
excess of standards established in the General Plan or the City of Carlsbad Noise
Guidelines Manual, nor will it result in exposure of persons to significant adverse ground-
borne vibration and/or ground-borne noise impacts from the railroad in excess of
standards established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Transit
Administration (FTA), in that a Noise Study (July 19, 2013) and a Preliminary Train
Vibration Analysis (August 26, 2013) was prepared by Wieland Acoustics, Noise &
Vibration Consultants, to address any potential noise and/or ground-borne
vibration/noise impacts occurring as a result of the project sites close proximity (202 ft.)
to the railroad tracks located to the east. No significant adverse ground-borne vibration
and/or ground-borne noise impacts were identified. To comply with the city’s exterior 60
dB(a) CNEL noise standard, the project design includes a 6 ft. high noise barrier
surrounding the exterior of the second floor balcony at Unit C. This design consists of a
combination low stucco wall and glass enclosure. For purposes of uniformity, Units A and
B also include a similar designed balcony. For achieving the 45 dB(a) CNEL interior noise
standard, the noise study includes construction design standards to be incorporated at the
building construction phase. The project has been conditioned to incorporate these
design standards and to require a final interior noise assessment prior to the issuance of
building permits to ensure compliance with the residential interior noise standard.
d) Housing – The four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project is
consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance as the project has been conditioned to pay an affordable housing in-lieu fee on
a per unit basis prior to final parcel map approval.

e) Public Safety – The four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium project is
located within a five minute response time of Fire Station No. 1, will provide an automatic
sprinkler system within each dwelling unit, and is consistent with the fire code.
24. 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 four-unit multiple-family
residential air-space condominium project is located within a Residential High (RH)
General Plan Land Use designation and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone, which
consists predominantly of multiple-family residential projects developed at a similar
density (15-23 du/ac) as the density of the proposed project (19.8 du/ac); and
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 as described above the
location and density of the four-unit multiple-family residential air-space condominium
project is 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) there have been
sufficient developments in the northwest quadrant that have developed at densities
below the Growth Management Control Point (GMCP) such that the allocation of 0.2
dwelling units would not result in exceeding the quadrant limit, 2) the project is
conditioned to pay the appropriate fees to comply with City’s Growth Management
Program, and 3) the City’s public facilities plans will not be adversely impacted as the
allocation of 0.2 units has already been analyzed and anticipated within the northwest
quadrant.
25. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 1 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 Carlsbad Unified 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.
d. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 1 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.

26. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50).
27. 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 Project, of the state
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, of the state CEQA Guidelines.
28. 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 the issuance of a
grading or building permit, or recordation of the Final Parcel Map, whichever occurs first.
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

occur substantially as shown on the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development, different
from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
3. Developer shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local laws and
regulations in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
4. If any condition for construction of any public improvements or facilities, or the payment of any
fees in-lieu thereof, imposed by this approval or imposed by law on this Project are challenged,
this approval shall be suspended as provided in Government Code Section 66020. If any such
condition is determined to be invalid, this approval shall be invalid unless the City Council
determines that the project without the condition complies with all requirements of law.
5. Developer/Operator shall and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold
harmless the City of Carlsbad, its Council members, officers, employees, agents, and
representatives, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, demands, claims and
