A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
g B) That the DAYBREAK COMMUNITY CHURCH project is consistent with the HMP as
described in the following findings.
9
C) That based on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS
10 APPROVAL of Habitat Management Plan Permit, HMP 13-02, for DAYBREAK
COMMUNITY CHURCH based on the following findings and subject to the following
11 conditions:
12 Findings:
13 1. That the western parcel (APN 215-080-04) of the Daybreak Community Church project is
shown in Figure 28 of the approved HMP as a "Proposed Standards Area" and the southern
portion of the eastern parcel (APN 215-841-07) is identified as an "Existing Hardline
Conservation Area."
2. That authorization to impact sensitive habitats through the removal of 0.05 acres of
Unoccupied Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub (Habitat Group D) and 0.80 acres of
27 Disturbed/Ornamental/Non-Native habitat (Habitat Group F) is subject to continuous
compliance with all provisions ofthe Habitat Management Plan for Natural Communities in the
28 City of Carisbad (HMP), the Citywide Incidental Take Permit issued for the HMP, the
Implementing Agreement, the Terms and Conditions of the Incidental Take Permit, and the
19 Biological Opinion.
20 3. That authorization to impact sensitive habitats is subject to continuous compliance with all
mitigation measures as stated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring
21 and Reporting Program and Addendum for DAYBREAK COMMUNITY CHURCH- GPA 13-01/ZC
12-04/LCPA 12-04/SDP 00-06(C)/CUP 00-06(C)/CDP 00-09(C)/HMP 13-02, and is subject to all
22 conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolutions No. 7055, 7056, 7057, 7058 and 7059
for those other approvals, including but not limited to recordation of conservation easements
23 over all conserved areas and management and monitoring in perpetuity by a qualified
conservation entity.
24 ^
2g 4. That authorization to impact sensitive habitats is subject to continuous compliance with the
provisions of Volumes I, 11 and III of the Multiple Habitat Conservation Program and the Final

5. That all impacts to habitat and all take of species will be incidental to otherwise lawful activities
2 related to construction and operation of the Daybreak Community Church project.
3 6. That the project design as approved by the City of Carisbad has avoided and minimized impacts
to wildlife habitat and species of concern to the maximum extent practicable. Specifically, the
4 sensitive upland habitat proposed to be removed on the eastern parcel will be mitigated on-
site as required pursuant to the HMP and the southern portion of both the western and
5 eastern parcels will be permanently preserved through a biological conservation easement on
an Open Space lot. In addition, mitigation measures have been included which prevent
negative effects on the adjacent sensitive habitat which include: erosion control; landscaping;
fencing, signage, and lighting; and predator and exotic species control.
17
18

g 7. That adequate funding has been provided to address changed circumstances and adaptive
management needs that may be reasonably anticipated in the future, consistent with the HMP
g Implementing Agreement.
20 8. That the authorization to impact sensitive habitats as a result of the project will not appreciably
reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the species in the wild due to compliance with
11 all of the above stated requirements, as well as ongoing monitoring and reporting to the wildlife
agencies and the public.
12 "
13 „
10. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carisbad benefits from the
14 Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and implementation
program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and provide for effective
15 protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while continuing to allow compatible
development in accordance with Carisbad'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
29 Mitigation Fee imposed on all new development within the City is essential to fund
implementation ofthe City's Habitat Management Plan.
20
11. That the HMP Findings for Zone 20 can be met pursuant to the analysis included in the
21 Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and
Addendum for DAYBREAK COMMUNITY CHURCH- GPA 13-01/ZC 12-04/LCPA 12-04/SDP 00-

No. 7055) and pursuant to Wildlife Agency concurrence received on February 13, 2014,
23 incorporated herein by reference.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Addendum for DAYBREAK
26 COMMUNITY CHURCH- GPA 13-01/ZC 12-04/LCPA 12-04/SDP 00-06(C)/CUP 00-
