A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of STATE MIXED USE 30 – CT 14-01/RP 14-01 based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
Tentative Tract Map, CT 14-01
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 proposed one lot tentative
tract map for a 28 airspace condominium subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and
satisfies all minimum requirements of the Village Master Plan, Titles 20 and 21 with respect
to public facilities, access and parking as discussed in the project staff report.
2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since the
surrounding properties are developed, are currently designated as Village (V) in the General
Plan and are located in Land Use District 1, Carlsbad Village Center, of the Village Master Plan.
The subject property, comprising a total of three (3) legal parcels, is bordered to the north by
residential uses; to the south by Oak Avenue, an auto repair shop, parking lot and cafe; to the
east by the Tyler Street Alley, a mixture of residential uses, parking lot and two (2)
restaurants; and to the west by State Street, public parking lots C and D, and a mixture of
retail and office uses. Pursuant to the Land Use District 1 of the Village Master Plan, the
intent is to reinforce the pedestrian shopping environment, encourage mutually supportive
uses and provide activity focus for Carlsbad Village and the City as a whole.
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 the Village (V) General Plan Land Use designation allows residential development at a
density range of 28 to 35 dwelling units per acre. Based on a net acreage of 0.413 acres, the
proposed 14 residential condominium units have a density of 33.8 dwelling units per acre.
The 13 timeshare units are considered commercial living units for purposes of temporary
lodging and do not count towards project density. The one (1) commercial unit, consisting of
4,552 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial space, is also not counted towards overall project
density.
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 such that there are no conflicts with established easements.
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 the proposed residential units have
a north, south, east and west orientation thereby allowing for passive or natural solar heating
and cooling opportunities.
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 in that the
project is required to provide a total of two (2) inclusionary units. Specifically, the applicant
proposes to designate two (2) of the 14 residential condominium units as inclusionary units,
both of which are three-bedroom units. In addition, the project has been conditioned to
require the approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement prior to recordation of the final
map.
8. 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 project site has been previously developed and, therefore, does not impact any
fish, wildlife or habitat.
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. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that the existing streets can accommodate the estimated
increase of 335 ADTs and all required public right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and
has been or will be improved to serve the development. In addition, the proposed project
would not result in any significant capacity-related impacts to any road segments or
intersections.
Major Review Permit, RP 14-01
11. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the City’s General Plan, and the development standards of the Village Review
Zone and the Village Master Plan and Design Manual, based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated November 5, 2014, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Land Use. The proposed project, which includes demolition of seven (7) existing
residential units (3068 State Street, 3080 State Street and 542 Oak Avenue) and
construction of a 33,732 square foot four-story mixed-use building consisting of 14
residential units (two of which are affordable), 13 timeshare units, one (1) ground
floor commercial unit (4,529 square feet) and a roof deck (4,211 square feet), will
enhance the vitality of the Village, specifically Land Use District 1 (Carlsbad Village
Center), by providing mutually supportive uses in the form of residential, timeshare
and commercial; reinforcing the pedestrian-orientation that is desired for the
downtown area by placing new residents and timeshare occupants in close proximity
to services and the opportunity to walk to local shopping, dining, recreation, and mass
transit functions; the project’s close proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit

help to further the goal of providing new economic and residential development near
transportation corridors; and lastly, will contribute to the revitalization of the Village
area in the form of a new building at the southern end of State Street which not only
provides a strong street presence, extensive architectural relief, landscaping and
visually subordinate parking, but also new commercial lease space, new employment
opportunities and new consumers for the Village.
b. Housing. The proposed project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General
Plan and the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, in that the proposed project
includes the construction of two (2) three-bedroom inclusionary units on-site. The
project has been accordingly-conditioned to require the approval of an Affordable
Housing Agreement prior to recordation of the final map.
c. Circulation. The existing streets can accommodate the estimated 341 ADTs (net
increase) and all required public right-of-way has been or will be dedicated and has
been or will be improved to serve the development. The pedestrian spaces and
circulation have been designed in relationship to the land use and available parking.
Pedestrian circulation is provided through pedestrian-oriented building design,
landscaping, and hardscape. Public facilities have been, or will be constructed to
serve the proposed project. Further, the project has been conditioned to develop and
implement a program of “best management practices” for the elimination and
reduction of pollutants which enter into and/or are transported within storm
drainage facilities.
d. Public Safety. The proposed building is required to be designed in conformance with
all seismic design standards of the California Building Code (CBC) and State building
requirements. Additionally, the proposed project design is consistent with all of the
applicable fire safety requirements; and the entire building is designed to be sprinkled
in accordance with National Fire Protection Agency Standard 13 and City of Carlsbad
regulations.
e. Noise. A Noise Impact Study (February 2014) in accordance with the City of Carlsbad’s
Noise Guidelines was prepared by Rincon Consultants, Environmental Scientists,
Planners and Engineers to address any potential noise and/or ground-borne
vibration/noise impacts occurring as a result of 1) the project sites close proximity to
the railroad tracks located approximately 250 ft. to the west, and 2) traffic noise
associated with an urban environment. No significant adverse ground-borne
vibration and/or ground-borne noise impacts were identified. Additionally, no
significant adverse noise impacts were identified that would not be reduced by
standard construction practices prescribed by the California Energy Code Title 24
standards.
f. Land Use District 1 Standards. The project as designed is consistent with the
development standards for Land Use District 1, the Village Design Guidelines and
other applicable regulations set forth in the Village Master Plan and Design Manual as
discussed in the project staff report.
12. The Developer/Property owner qualifies to participate in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program and
participation in the program will satisfy the parking requirements for the project. Justification
for participation in the Parking In-Lieu Fee Program is contained in the following findings:

a. The project is consistent with Village Review Master Plan and Design Manual in that the
project assists in satisfying the goals and objectives through the following actions 1) the
mixed-use project stimulates property improvements and new development in the Village
by constructing a new permitted mixed-use building in an area with a mix of dated
buildings and increasing the intensity of development within the Village; 2) it establishes
Carlsbad Village as a quality shopping, working and living environment by providing new
employment opportunities; attracting additional tourist-serving uses; increasing the
number, quality, diversity and affordability of housing units within the Village; and
reinforcing pedestrian retail continuity within the Village commercial areas; and 3)
improves the physical appearance of the Village Area by redeveloping an underutilized
site along State Street with a new attractive building that adheres to the land use
regulations and design guidelines set forth for the area;
b. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and objectives set forth for Land Use
District 1 of the Village Master Plan and Design Manual in that the mixed-use
development not only provides mutually supportive uses in the form of residential,
timeshare and commercial uses along State Street, but reinforces the pedestrian-
orientation desired for the downtown area by providing new residents and timeshare
occupants an opportunity to walk to local shopping, dining, recreation, and mass transit
functions; furthermore, its close proximity to existing bus routes and mass transit help to
further the goal of providing new economic and residential development near
transportation corridors; and lastly, it will contribute to the revitalization of the Village
area in the form of a new building at the southern end of State Street; new commercial
lease space, new employment opportunities and new consumers;
c. Adequate parking is available within the Village to accommodate the project's parking
demands. Based on the most recent parking study dated August 2012, the average
occupancy for all public parking lots is 63%. This utilization ratio allows for continued
implementation of the parking in-lieu fee program because it is less than the 85%
threshold for maximum utilization set by the City Council; and
d. The In-Lieu Fee Program has not been suspended or terminated by the City Council.
City Council Policy No. 43, Allocation for Excess Dwelling Units
13. That the project location and density are compatible with the existing adjacent residential
neighborhoods and/or nearby existing or planned uses in that the project is consistent with the
adjacent mix of residential and commercial land uses and anticipated uses in that Land Use
District 1 of the Village Master Plan is intended to provide for a gradual transition to a mix of
higher quality commercial and residential uses which will provide positive support for the
core of the Village.
14. 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 Village (V) General Plan
Land Use designation allows residential development at a density range of 28 to 35 dwelling
units per acre. Based on a net acreage of 0.413 acres, the proposed 14 residential
condominium units have a density of 33.8 dwelling units per acre. The 13 timeshare units are
considered commercial living units for purposes of temporary lodging and do not count
towards project density. The one (1) commercial unit, consisting of 4,552 sq. ft. of ground
floor commercial space, is also not counted towards overall project density.

15. That there are an adequate number of units in the Excess Dwelling Unit Bank in the northwest
quadrant to remove 14 units. Per the city’s Quadrant Dwelling Unit Report (dated September
30, 2014), 2,094 units remain available for allocation in the northwest quadrant.
California Environmental Quality Act:
16. 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 preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development
project. 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.

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 approval of the
final map, demolition permit, grading permit or building permit whichever occurs first.
1. If any of the following conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be implemented

Department of Real Estate and the City Planner. At a minimum, the CC&Rs shall contain the
following provisions:
a. General Enforcement by the City. The City shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to enforce those Protective Covenants set forth in this Declaration in favor of, or in
which the City has an interest.
b. Notice and Amendment. A copy of any proposed amendment shall be provided to the
City in advance. If the proposed amendment affects the City, City shall have the right to
disapprove. A copy of the final approved amendment shall be transmitted to City
within 30 days for the official record.
c. Failure of Association to Maintain Common Area Lots and Easements. In the event that
the Association fails to maintain the “Common Area Lots and/or the Association’s
Easements” as provided in Article , Section the City shall
have the right, but not the duty, to perform the necessary maintenance. If the City
elects to perform such maintenance, the City shall give written notice to the
Association, with a copy thereof to the Owners in the Project, setting forth with
particularity the maintenance which the City finds to be required and requesting the
same be carried out by the Association within a period of thirty (30) days from the
giving of such notice. In the event that the Association fails to carry out such

period specified by the City’s notice, the City shall be entitled to cause such work to be
completed and shall be entitled to reimbursement with respect thereto from the
Owners as provided herein.
d. Special Assessments Levied by the City. In the event the City has performed the
necessary maintenance to either Common Area Lots and/or Association’s Easements,
the City shall submit a written invoice to the Association for all costs incurred by the

Easements. The City shall provide a copy of such invoice to each Owner in the Project,
together with a statement that if the Association fails to pay such invoice in full within
the time specified, the City will pursue collection against the Owners in the Project
pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Said invoice shall be due and payable by the
Association within twenty (20) days of receipt by the Association. If the Association
shall fail to pay such invoice in full within the period specified, payment shall be
deemed delinquent and shall be subject to a late charge in an amount equal to six
percent (6%) of the amount of the invoice. Thereafter the City may pursue collection
from the Association by means of any remedies available at law or in equity. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in addition to all other rights and remedies
available to the City, the City may levy a special assessment against the Owners of each
Lot in the Project for an equal pro rata share of the invoice, plus the late charge. Such
special assessment shall constitute a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien
upon each Lot against which the special assessment is levied. Each Owner in the Project
hereby vests the City with the right and power to levy such special assessment, to
impose a lien upon their respective Lot and to bring all legal actions and/or to pursue
lien foreclosure procedures against any Owner and his/her respective Lot for purposes
of collecting such special assessment in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Article of this Declaration.
