g NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
g Carlsbad as follows:
10 A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
11 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
APPROVES LA COSTA TOWNE CENTER - SDP 78-03{D)/SDP 13-03/SUP 13-01/PUD 13-
12 02/MS 13-01 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
13 Findings:
14 SDP Amendment, SDP 78-03(D)
15 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
16 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
1^ that the proposed mixed use project complies with the requirements of the Neighborhood
Commercial and Qualified Development Overlay zones (C-l-Q) and all other applicable
development regulations, except for the height, which can be modified as part of the Site
Development Plan for the inclusionary housing pursuant to CMC Section 21.53.120. The
proposed commercial and residential uses are consistent with and implement the Local
Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. In addition, mixed use with a residential
component is an encouraged use adjacent to major transportation corridors and in major
21 commercial centers. The front yard setback proposed for the mixed use building, parking
structure and parking lot exceed the minimum 10-foot-wide landscaped front yard setback from
22 El Camino Real as established pursuant to SDP 78-03. Furthermore, the surrounding commercial
uses will benefit directly by the proposed 60 multi-family rental units; likewise, the proposed
23 multi-family residential use will benefit from having a commercial center in close proximity to
serve everyday commercial needs. In addition, as 12 ofthe 60 multi-family residential units (i.e.,
24 20%) will be designated as inclusionary units, the project will meet various goals of the Housing
Element and contribute towards meeting the City's Regional Housing Needs.
25
The project's enhanced Classical Mediterranean architectural design represents an overall
26 upgrade to the currentiy underutilized shopping center and is compatible with the commercial
architectural styles in the area. Proposed elements, including smooth plaster walls and
2^ cornices, a warm earth tone color palette, clay tile roofs, heavy timber wood trellises,
wrought iron balconies and arched openings, complement the characteristic elements of the

original center. While the existing shopping center is currently legal nonconforming with
respect to parking, the required parking associated with the net gain of commercial square
footage and multi-family use has been provided. In addition, ali infrastructure needs (full
street improvements, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and traffic signals) currently exist along El
Camino Real and La Costa Avenue. In exchange for the addition of a new driveway off of El
Camino Real to access the proposed parking structure, one access driveway into the La Costa
Towne Shopping Center located off of El Camino Real will be removed.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the subject 15.24-acre site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed
buildings and, with exception to building height, the proposed uses comply with the required
development and design standards of the Neighborhood Commercial and Qualified
Development Overlay zones (C-l-Q) of Carlsbad Municipal Code Title 21, including the 10-
foot-wide landscaped front yard setback from Ei Camino Real which was approved pursuant
to SDP 78-03.
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, with exception to the building height, the project has been designed in
accordance with all development and design standards of the Neighborhood Commercial and
Qualified Development Overlay Zones. Further, a new updated landscape palette proposed
adjacent to El Camino Real will soften any impacts associated with the new development. In
addition, mitigation measures to comply with the interior noise standards are incorporated
into the project. The project has also been conditioned to ensure that the outdoor lighting
proposed in conjunction with the commercial project does not adversely affect the proposed
residential uses.
4. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that pursuant to the Mitigated Negative Declaration
prepared for the proposed project, the traffic impacts associated with the new development,
791 ADT, will not adversely impact the levels of service of the surrounding roadways and key
intersections, which will remain operating at an acceptable level of service. In addition, in
exchange for the addition of a new driveway off of El Camino Real to access the proposed
parking structure, one access driveway into the La Costa Towne Shopping Center off of El
Camino Real will be removed. Thus, a total of four access points into the shopping center will
remain (3 off of El Camino Real and one off of La Costa Avenue).
Site Development Plan, SDP 13-03 (Multi-Family Rental Dwelling Units and Inclusionary Housing)
5. 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 residential component of the proposed La Costa Towne Center mixed use project
entails a request to construct 60 multi-family units on top of ground floor retail uses. A total
of 12 of the rental units are proposed to be designated as inclusionary housing. On December
17, 2012, the City's Housing Policy Team recommended approval of the applicant's request to
income and rent-restrict 15% of the units (9 totai) for occupancy by low income households
(with rents set at 30% to 70% of the San Diego County Area Medium Income) and 5% of the
units (3 total) for occupancy by moderate income households (with rents set at 30% to 100%
of the San Diego County Area Medium Income).

With respect to the residential component of the mixed use project, pursuant to the Housing
Element, the City recognizes the increasing pressure to encourage smart growth
developments; specifically, developments which recognize the importance of sustainability
and which balance social, economic, and environmental needs through the development of
mixed use commercial projects. The surrounding commercial uses in the La Costa Towne
Center as well as surrounding shopping centers will benefit directly by the proposed 60 multi-
family rental units; likewise, the proposed multi-family residential use will benefit from having a
commercial center in close proximity to serve everyday commercial needs. In addition, as 12 of
the 60 multi-family residential units (i.e., 20%) will be designated as inclusionary units, the
project will meet various goals of the Housing Element and contribute towards meeting the
City's Regional Housing Needs. For these reasons and pursuant to Table 3-7 of the Housing
Element, the subject La Costa Towne Shopping Center is an ideal location for high density
housing since it is close to a major transportation corridor and employment areas.
Pursuant to the Housing Element, the minimum density for commercial zones in the City is 20
dwelling unit per acre. The dwelling unit yield projected for shopping centers is based on 25%
of the center's acreage since it recognizes the importance of maintaining sites for commercial
uses in the City. With a net acreage of 10.83 acres for the La Costa Towne Shopping Center,
the residential portion of the project (2.7 acres) has a proposed density of 22.2 (60/2.7 =
22.22) dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the minimum goal has been met and the project is
consistent with the Housing Element with respect to density. The proposed project is
consistent will all other applicable elements of the General Plan.
That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, in
that the subject 15.24-acre site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed
buildings and parking for the new uses. With exception to building height, the proposed uses
comply with the required development and design standards of the Neighborhood
Commercial and Qualified Development Overlay zones (C-l-Q) of Carlsbad Municipal Code
Title 21, including the 10-foot-wide landscaped front yard setback from El Camino Real which
was approved pursuant to SDP 78-03.
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, with exception to the building height, the project has been designed in
accordance with all development and design standards of the Neighborhood Commercial and
Qualified Development Overlay Zones. Further, a new updated landscape palette proposed
adjacent to El Camino Real will soften any impacts associated with the new development. In
addition, mitigation measures to comply with the interior noise standards are incorporated
into the project and the project has been conditioned to ensure that the outdoor lighting
proposed in conjunction with the commercial project does not adversely affect the proposed
residential uses.
That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that primary access to the shopping center will continue to
be provided by a total of four access driveways, including one off of La Costa Avenue and
three off of El Camino Real. As discussed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for
the project, the Average Daily Trips (ADTs) generated in association with the project, 791
ADTs, do not result in any significant capacity-related impacts to any road segments or
intersections.
PC RESO NO. 7045 -4-
1..
That, pursuant to CMC Section 21.26.015, the residential use is secondary and accessory to the
2 primary commercial use, in that the proposed 60 multi-family rental units are architecturally
integrated into the proposed mixed use buildings, are located at the northern portion of the
3 15.24-acre shopping center and the square footage of the multi-family housing represents
33.7% ofthe square footage for the overall shopping center.
10. That, pursuant to CMC Section 21.53.120, in order to allow for less restrictive development
standards, specifically with respect to the allowable maximum height for the La Costa Town
Center project (35-foot maximum height allowed pursuant to the El Camino Real Corridor
Development Standards; up to 45 feet proposed), the following additional findings are required:
Special Use Permit, SUP 13-01
The project is in conformance with the General Plan and adopted policies and goals ofthe
city, in that the proposed mixed use project, which includes 12 inclusionary rental units,
is encouraged near major transportation corridors and employment areas. In addition,
g the project provides new, affordable housing opportunities to meet the needs of the
current lower and moderate income households.
10
The inclusionary housing would not have a detrimental effect on the public health, safety
22 and welfare, in that the on-site inclusionary rental units will not be physically
discernable from the standard rental units and the additional 10 feet in height will not
12 adversely impact the public's health, safety, or welfare.
13 As the proposed project has been found to be consistent with the General Plan and the
proposed request to exceed the 35-foot maximum height allowed pursuant to the El Camino
14 Real Corridor Development Standards would not affect the public's health, safety or welfare,
the proposed modification to the height for the mixed use project can be supported.
15 "
16
11. The proposed project conforms to the intent of the Scenic Preservation Overlay in that the
YJ overall design theme is enhanced along the El Camino Real corridor. Specifically, the La Costa
Towne Center project includes an upgraded landscape palette which significantly enhances
18 the appearance of the shopping center as viewed from the El Camino Real corridor. In
addition, the proposed Classical Mediterranean architectural design for the proposed mixed use
19 buildings represents an overall upgrade to the currently underutilized shopping center as viewed
from El Camino Real. Proposed architectural elements, including smooth plaster walls and
20 cornices, a warm earth tone color palette, clay tile roofs, heavy timber wood trellises,
wrought iron balconies and arched openings. To accommodate the proposed mixed use
21 project, which includes a partially subterranean parking structure, a deviation to the
standards is required for the proposed height (7710 El Camino Real, 45-foot-tail building) as
well as grading for the proposed partially subterranean parking structure (11-foot cut). The
proposed setbacks of the mixed use building, parking structure, and new parking lot comply
with the setback as a 10-foot-wide front yard setback was established pursuant to the original
2^ Site Development Plan for the shopping center, SDP 78-03. The proposed structures exceed
this minimum setback and maintain traffic safety along the El Camino Corridor.
25
12. The proposed project implements the goals and objectives of the General Plan in that mixed
25 use projects are encouraged land uses in existing shopping centers which are located adjacent
to major transportation corridors such as El Camino Real. In addition, the proposal to
27 construct 60 multi-family rental units, including 12 inclusionary rental units, complies with
the minimum density of 20 dwellings per acre and satisfies inclusionary housing goals of 28 PC RESO NO. 7045 -5-
1..
constructing new inclusionary units on-site. The project has been designed to meet all of the
2 circulation requirements and will not adversely impacts the level of service at nearby
intersections or street segments. Further, a mitigation measure is proposed which reduces
3 interior noise impacts to the proposed residential and commercial land uses to a less than
significant level.
4
13. Compliance with the grading (maximum cut or fill of 10 feet) as specified in Area 5 of the El
^ Camino Real Corridor Development Standards is not feasible since a partially subterranean
parking structure is proposed which requires up to an a 11-foot cut into the existing grade.
The proposed parking structure is needed to accommodate the parking for the proposed
mixed use project. In addition, because the area of excavation will not be a visible cut slope
and the setbacks will be landscaped to soften the impacts, the views from the El Camino
g Corridor will be preserved.
g Compliance with the height restrictions (35 feet) as specified in Area 5 of the El Camino Real
Corridor Development Standards is not feasible and the 2"" and 3"' stories of the proposed
10 mixed use building (7710 El Camino Real) accommodate multi-family residential units which
assist in achieving the minimum 20 dwelling units/per acre density as required in commercial
11 zones. Further, as inclusionary housing is proposed on-site, the additional height can be
permitted as a modification to standards pursuant to CMC Section 21.53.120.
12
14. That the scenic qualities of the corridor will continue to be maintained if the grading and
13 height standards are not fulfilled since the proposed project represents a significant upgrade
to the La Costa Towne Center as viewed from El Camino Real, including an enhanced
14 landscape palette along the entire shopping center frontage, the demolition of two
underutilized buildings and the construction of two new mixed use buildings with enhanced
1^ architecture. The proposed height of 45 feet (7710 El Camino Real) will not adversely impact
views along El Camino Real in that a majority of the mixed use building is 37 feet tail and is
1^ separated by approximately 30 feet of landscaping between the building and El Camino Real.
Thus, the scenic qualities of the corridor will not only be maintained but ultimately enhanced.
18
19
20
23
24
25
15. That the project, including non-compliance with the grading and height standards, will not
have an adverse impact on traffic safety in that non-compliance with either of these
standards are not related to the movement of traffic on El Camino Real. Further, The
Engineering Department has determined that the project meets ail applicable traffic safety
requirements.
22 16. That the La Costa Towne Center project is generally designed so as to meet the intent of the
scenic preservation overlay zone through the use of an upgraded landscape palette and
22 architectural design for the shopping center.
Nonresidential Planned Development Permit, PUD 13-02
17. The granting of this permit will not adversely affect and will be consistent with the code, the
general plan, applicable specific plans, master plans, and all adopted plans ofthe city and other
governmental agencies in that the proposed nonresidential planned development permit for
a four-lot parcel map, which includes 3 nonresidential lots and one vertical lot for the multi-
2g family apartments, is consistent with: the Local Shopping Center (L) General Plan Land Use
designation; Neighborhood Commercial (C-l) and Qualified Development Overlay (Q) zones;
27 and, with a deviation to the standards for height and grading, the Ei Camino Real Corridor
28 PC RESO NO. 7045 -6-
1..
Development Standards. As there is no minimum lot size pursuant to the C-l zone, the
2 proposed parcels sizes are consistent with the C-l zone.
3 18. The proposed use at the particular location is necessary and desirable to provide a service or
facility, which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood and the
4 community in that the nonresidential planned development permit, which includes 3
nonresidential lots and one vertical residential lot, will allow for separate ownership of the
^ apartments and retail uses. The proposed mixed use project is compatible with the existing
shopping center and surrounding land uses and satisfies a number of General Plan goals and
^ policies with respect to mixed use and inclusionary housing. In addition, the ability for the
^ land uses to be separately-owned will not adversely affect the project's compatibility with
the surrounding land uses.
8
19. Such use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or
9 working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity in that the
proposed nonresidential planned development permit meets all applicable city standards
10 and ordinances and all public facilities and services exist. Further, while the parking for the
existing shopping center is legal nonconforming, adequate parking is provided for the
11 proposed mixed use project. In addition, the project has been conditioned to amend the
existing reciprocal parking, access and maintenance agreement for the shopping center.
12
20. The proposed nonresidential planned development meets all of minimum development
13 standards of the underlying zone, in that, there is no minimum lot size pursuant to the C-l
zone, the proposed structures meet the setbacks as established pursuant to SDP 78-03, and
1^ the project has been conditioned to amend the existing reciprocal parking, access and
maintenance agreement for the shopping center. While the project's height and grading cut
depth do not comply with the applicable El Camino Real Corridor Development Standards,
findings for approval can be supported to deviate from the Standards.
15
16
17
18
Minor Subdivision, MS 13-01
21. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as
conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements ofthe General Plan, any applicable
2g 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 proposed four lot minor
20 subdivision provides the required public vehicular access in that the proposed four-lot minor
subdivision being created satisfies ali minimum requirements of Titles 20 and 21 with respect
21 to public facilities, access and parking. The project has been conditioned to amend the
existing reciprocal parking, access and maintenance agreement for the shopping center prior
22 to recordation of the map.
23 22. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since
surrounding properties are developed and are currently designated for either Local Shopping
24 Center (L), or Residential Low-Medium (RLM) or Medium to High (RMH) Density in the
General Plan. The subject property is bordered by office uses to the north, single-family uses
to the east and multi-family uses to the south. The proposed mixed use project has a density
of 22.2 dwelling units per acre, which exceeds the minimum goal of 20 dwelling units per acre
in commercial zones.
27
PC RESO NO. 7045 -7-
7
1 ..
23. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is
2 adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed,
in that the Local Shopping Center (L) General Plan Land Use designation allows for mixed use
3 at a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed multi-family residential
component of the project (60 units) has a proposed density of 22.2 dwelling units per acre. A
4 deviation to the standards with respect to the height and grading requirements is required
pursuant to the El Camino Real Corridor Standards. The findings for approval to support this
^ deviation can be made.
^ 24. 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 developer has
g delineated and preserved on the parcel map, all existing easements of record.
9 25. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation
Act of 1965 (Williamson Act).
10
26. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
11 heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the proposed commercial and
residential buildings have an east-west orientation thereby allowing for passive or natural
12 solar heating and cooling opportunities.
13 27. 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
1^ public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental resources and the
project has been conditioned to designate 12 of the 60 multi-family residential units (i.e., 20%)
as inclusionary units. Specifically, 15% of the units (9 total) for occupancy will be rent-
restricted for low income households (with rents set at 30% to 70% of the San Diego County
Area Median Income) and 5% of the units (3 total) for occupancy will be rent-restricted for
2y moderate income households (with rents set at 30% to 100% of the San Diego County Area
Medium Income).
18
28. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial
19 environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat,
in that the proposed development does not contain any significant wildlife or sensitive
20 habitat. In addition, pursuant to the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project,
all other non-habitat/wildlife-related environmental impacts can be reduced to a less than
21 significant level with the incorporation of mitigation measures.
22 29. 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
^3 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.
15
16
24
25
26
30. That the City's Housing Policy Team recommended approval of the request for an allocation
27 for 60 units from the EDUB on December 17, 2012.

31. That, based on the proposal to construct a total of 60 multi-family rental dwelling units, a
totai of 20%, or 12 of the units, are required to be designated as income-restricted units. As
required, 12 inclusionary units are included in the proposed La Costa Towne Center project.
32. That an Affidavit has been signed by the Applicant/Developer, March 17, 2014, indicating that
any rental inclusionary units proposed which are required to comply with Carlsbad Municipal
Code, Chapter 21.85, will not be subject to Civil Code Section 1954.52(a) nor any other
provision of the Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act (Civil Code Sections 1954.51 et seq.)
inconsistent with controls on rents, because, pursuant to Civil Code Sections 1954.52(b) and
1954.53(a)(2), the Developer will enter into an affordable housing contractual agreement
with the City of Carlsbad agreeing to the limitations on rents.
33. That the project location and density are compatible with the existing adjacent residential
neighborhoods and/or nearby existing or planned uses in that the proposed mixed use project,
with a density of 22.2 dwelling units per acre, is proposed to be located within an existing
local shopping center. The project is internally compatible with and will not adversely impact
the adjacent residential uses in that the nearest single-family residential uses are located
approximately 100 feet upslope and 200 feet east from the proposed two-story mixed use
building. The nearest multi-family uses are located adjacent to the southern corner of the
shopping center, approximately 800 feet south of the proposed two-story mixed use building.
34. 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 minimum density for
commercial zones in the City is 20 dwelling unit per acre. Further, the dwelling unit yield
projected for shopping centers is based on 25% of the center's acreage since it recognizes the
importance of maintaining sites for commercial uses in the City. With a net acreage of 10.83
acres for the La Costa Towne Shopping Center, the residential portion of the project (2.7
acres) has a proposed density of 22.2 (60/2.7 = 22.22) dwelling units per acre. The proposed
mixed use project is located in the La Costa Towne shopping center which is specifically
recommend for mixed use pursuant to the General Plan as it is located adjacent to a major
transportation corridor with transit stops as well as a wide range of employment
opportunities. The surrounding commercial uses in the La Costa Towne Center as well as
surrounding shopping centers will benefit directly by the proposed 60 multi-family rental units;
likewise, the proposed multi-family residential use will benefit from having a commercial center
in close proximity to serve everyday commercial needs.
Caiifornia Environmental Quality Act:
35. The Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad does hereby find:
a. it has reviewed, analyzed, and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program and Addendum, the environmental impacts therein
identified for this project and any comments thereon prior to APPROVING the project; and

36. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
7 the Elements of the City's General Plan based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated
April 16, 2014 including, but not limited to the following:
8 "
9 A. Land Use - The La Costa Towne Center project includes the demolition of two existing
buildings located in the existing La Costa Towne shopping center and the construction
10 of two mixed use buildings and additional parking. The project is intended to
revitalize the shopping center with the new residential development and commercial
11 retail uses. The residential component of the mixed use project includes the
development of 60 multi-family apartments, including 12 inclusionary units, which
12 will be required to be rented at the low or moderate income level. In addition, the
proposed project is located adjacent to a major transportation corridor with bus stops
13 located in close proximity along El Camino Real. The project will fulfill the daily needs
of the new residential units by providing convenience goods and personal services
within the shopping center. The proposed Classical Mediterranean architectural
design will complement and enhance the overall appearance of the La Costa Towne
Center as viewed from El Camino Real; and
1^ B. Housing - The city's Housing Policy Team has determined that the La Costa Towne
Center project is required to designate 20% or 12 of the proposed 60 multi-family
units as inclusionary units. Specifically, 15% of the units are required to be income
and rent-restricted to low income households at 70% of AMI and 5% at moderate
income at 100% of AMI. The applicant has agreed to this requirement and
29 incorporated the 12 units into the project. The provision for inclusionary housing will
contribute towards achieving the city's Regional Housing Needs; and
C. Circulation - As concluded in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed mixed
use project will not adversely impact the traffic circulation in that in exchange for the
addition of an entry off of El Camino Real into the proposed parking structure, an
22 existing driveway adjacent to El Camino Real will be eliminated. A total of four access
driveways into the development will remain. The parking lot has been designed to
23 meet the minimum fire access requirements and the proposed project (791 ADTs) will
not adversely impact the levels of service of the surrounding roadways and key
24 intersections, which are operating at an acceptable level of service; and
25 D. Noise - Pursuant to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, a mitigation measure is
required to reduce impacts associated with noise generated by vehicular traffic on El
26 Camino Real. Specifically, a noise study will be required prior to issuance of the
building permit to confirm compliance with the interior noise requirements for the
27 commercial and residential land uses. With implementation of the mitigation
measure, the noise impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level.
