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.

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 PC RESO NO. 7073 -4- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 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: PC RESO NO. 7073 -5- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 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.

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. General 17.
